Chapter 144 The Mysterious Jackdaw
Chapter 144 The Mysterious Jackdaw
"Master? Master!" Wei Duan was a little anxious, and stopped in his mind.
The middle finger on Xiangyang's forehead moved, his closed eyes slowly opened, and Wen Renjue noticed that the face of the person in front of him had softened.
The hands and feet became very weak, and the body swayed in place before standing still.
Withdrawing his right hand, he took two steps back, looked at Xiang Yang, and nodded his head as a signal.
Letting go of the hand that imprisoned Xiang Yang, Hei Hu and the others also took two steps back, fully on guard.
Without the strength of restraint and support, the man directly fell forward.
Turning around and sitting back on the seat, Wen Renjue gave instructions to the guards on both sides: "Take him down."
"Yes!" Standing on the side, his earliest Wang's personal guards members transferred from the [-]th district stepped forward, helped the unconscious man from left to right, and walked out of the hall.
"Wang, are you okay?" Yan Zhen noticed his pale face outside the mask, and asked worriedly.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the others naturally turned their attention to him.
Shuyi came to the side, tilted his head and looked at him, "Do you want to go back and rest first?"
Although I don't know what Wang did just now, but now he looks very weak.
Shaking his head, Wen Ren Jue said in a deep voice: "It's okay, let's talk about it... Did the gang of assassins track down the news last time?"
Lan An has been waiting for him to ask.
Now that he finally heard him speak, he went straight to the center of the hall and knelt down, lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Wang, we haven't been able to find any clues. These people seem to have appeared out of thin air."
Hei Hu took the first seat on the left, he couldn't get in on this topic, and when he heard Lan An's answer, he just listened quietly.
With some deep thought in his eyes.
Naturally, it was impossible for Yan Zhen to sit still. After all, he and Lan An were both in charge of District [-]. Although he was not the organizer this time, he was also co-organizer.
Standing up and kneeling beside Lan An, he looked up at the king with an indifferent expression.
He continued in a hoarse voice: "We have checked all the people from the outer area recently, but there is no clue. Minister Lan and I are to blame for such a big mistake this time. I just hope you can wait for us Find out the results, and then punish us."
He was very worried, and he didn't understand where so many high-level supernatural beings came from.
If this group of people has not left the king's district, will they still wait for the opportunity to attack the king?
Coughing lightly, Wen Renjue took the tea on the table and took a few sips to ease the pain in his chest.
Although Xiang Yang had been rescued by him, it was obvious that he had paid the price for it.
He summoned this group of people today, and it was not for the purpose of questioning crimes.
Facing those uneasy faces, his condescending gaze brought some softness, and he said calmly: "It's not surprising that you can't find out. The origin of this group of people is not simple. If you randomly find someone, you should deal with me and say find them." I'll be really angry when there's a clue."
Chen Liangxi had also been assassinated before. As the captain of the other party's bodyguard at that time, he had naturally seen how the people under him were fooling around and prevaricating.
It's best to find the murderer, but if you can't find it, in order to avoid getting burned, it's good to find a few scapegoats to calm the king's anger.
In the eyes of some old fritters, it may be quite stupid to frankly tell that no clues have been found.
Wen Ren Jue can accept the incompetence of the people below, but absolutely cannot accept their deception.
"King?..." Lan An raised his head, and asked with some hesitation: "Have you already found out their details?"
The power that Wang can use in the seventeenth district is nothing more than the foundation of the gambling house, but Lan An knows that Yanzhen has not made any progress during this period of time.
"I think you have also been curious. The people who were assassinated that day were all supernatural beings. Where did so many supernatural beings come from?" He deliberately told the subordinates about the crystal nuclear weapons to make it easy for them to do so. Taking precautions, Wen Renjue said slowly: "Shu Yi once said that some people in the High King's District have already begun to study how to apply crystal nuclei to technological products."
Shuyi didn't sit down, he stood beside Wen Renjue, and his expression changed immediately when he heard his words.Surprised: "You mean that those people that day were not all supernatural beings, but weapons made with crystal nuclei?"
"That's right." The voice turned cold, and Wen Renjue said calmly: "The two leaders that day should indeed be supernatural beings, but those who condensed the wind into arrows all used crystal nuclear weapons."
"Could it be... has someone been able to make it?" It's still a large batch, and they are all smart people. Just thinking of this possibility is enough to shudder.
If the emergence of mutants is a rewriting of the situation on the earth, then the appearance of supernatural beings is equivalent to a refresh. Now...the emergence of crystal nuclear weapons is undoubtedly another force that promotes great changes among forces.
His eyes swept over the faces of the people below, and he put down the teacup in his hand. Wen Renjue said indifferently: "No, those people should use another method of using crystal nuclei. The horror of these crystal nuclei weapons lies in Even people with weak consciousness can easily use it, and there are various types, which are hard to guard against.”
"Then what should we do?"
There was a lot of discussion in the next moment, and all the people in the seventeenth district whispered to each other.
Wenren Jue let them talk for a while in silence before speaking again.
As soon as he spoke, the crowd immediately fell silent.
"The reason why I told you this is to make you more vigilant in the future, including Xiangyang's riot just now, also because he was attacked by crystal nuclear weapons, but if he was careful enough, how could he be caught so easily? Including that day ..."
His gaze rested on the faces of Hei Hu and his confidantes, and he said coldly: "You all know very well in your heart that since you devoured the crystal nucleus, you all thought that you were absolutely invincible. A certain amount of pride is necessary, but you are too arrogant, and you are destined to do so. Pay the price, this world... is not as simple as you imagined."
Lan An, including Hei Hu and others, all remained silent.
Following the King's words, their hearts were solemn and a trace of guilt was added. Indeed... as the king said, since they devoured the crystal nucleus, they thought they were at the forefront of mankind and had no fear.
They feel that they are the children chosen by fate, so those who do not feel it in their behavior take it for granted.
The appearance of these assassins undoubtedly shattered their hidden arrogance.
It turned out that what they were proud of was not unique.
What they thought was absolutely strong was also vulnerable.
In a corner they don't know, perhaps, someone has long been stronger than them.
And they are all still complacent.
Seeing that everyone started to lower their heads and not speak, and their eyes flickered fiercely, Wen Ren Jue raised the corner of his lower lip instead.
Today's goal has been achieved.
Even he himself hadn't thought about the assassination and the emergence of nuclear weapons. Now that the mistake has been made, the anger is meaningless.
What can be thought of and helpful is to find out the shortcomings of our own side through this matter.
The group of people under me, because they got their own advice, swallowed the crystal nucleus earlier, and knew the operation and knowledge of the crystal nucleus energy system earlier than other humans on the earth, so, even if they are unconscious, they will feel it. I am superior to other kings, other humans.
Even if they are currently weaker than many forces, they will feel that they are unique.
This is good, a certain amount of self-confidence is necessary, but as he said, if you go too far, if you really feel that you have a halo around you, you will not die and you will not lose, then it is too stupid.
This world is not simple.
Even before the assassination, he was convinced of this.
So he hides all his differences from other human beings, and strives for everything he wants with the attitude of an ordinary person.
He got up and walked down slowly, and after staying in the middle of the hall, he raised his head and laughed twice to himself.
His smile interrupted the thoughts of everyone in the hall.
Unconsciously, everyone focused their attention on him again.
Wen Renjue looked at everyone calmly, and then said leisurely: "Since they choose to assassinate me, it means that they are temporarily incapable, or they don't intend to fight us head-on. Instead of worrying about their existence, we should hurry up and strengthen ourselves. Don't bother until they make the next move."
Yan Zhenjue's master has a kind of temperament, which can be summed up as mysterious calm.
No matter how complicated the situation or hidden danger is, he can face it calmly and calmly.
The clouds were calm and the wind was light, as if they were sure of their victory.
Everyone, whose emotions had been knocked into a trough, slowly recovered after Wenren Jue's indifferent words and casual demeanor.
If at this time, the king shows a little bit of anxiety or is furious, then the people below will only be affected by him, and the negative emotions will be doubled.
With such a high-level atmosphere, the entire royal district must be surrounded by soldiers, which consumes a huge amount of energy.
Arouse all kinds of suspicion and attack each other.
Shuyi stared blankly at the man standing tall and straight below. This man obviously lacked the self-consciousness and belief that a king should have, but he exuded his personal charm strangely.
Let those who follow him feel at ease.
After following this man for a period of time, every time the other party set a new definition for him, he quickly overthrew it.
"Report!" A high-pitched announcement came from outside the courtyard.
The big man in the uniform of the royal guards leaped from outside the courtyard very quickly, and after a few vertical jumps, he was outside the hall door.
"There is important news coming back." The guard knelt down on one knee and raised a document above his head.
Every king district has people who are responsible for collecting news outside, and they will set up some shops in the high king district to roughly gather some major events that happened in the world.
Shuyi quickly walked down from the top, strode to the door, took the document from the guard, turned around and walked into the hall to read it.
The expression quickly changed.
Without waiting for other people in the hall to ask questions, he said directly: "It was written in the newspaper, and news came that about a month ago, the kings of the sixth and ninth kings of the Western Continent were assassinated at the same time, and their heads were hung. On the highest wall of the royal city, the king of the seventh royal district should also be imprisoned."
Earth now has only three continents.
A smaller piece hangs overseas, quite a distance away.
The east and west continents are vast in size and very close to each other.
Unlike the Eastern Continent where there are many royal districts, there are not many royal districts in the Western Continent, but they are all large in size, have a large number of people, and are relatively powerful.
Lan An tilted his head, played with his curly hair, and said slowly: "I remember, there are fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, twenty, and six royal districts in the Western Continent. Who is this? Got three of them."
Shuyi didn't know why, but his complexion became a little white, and he said in surprise: "It says above, the one who did these things is indeed the same force, called the Jackdaw."
"Jackdaw?" Wen Renjue repeated in a low voice, raised his right hand, played with his middle finger with his left hand, and walked up again thoughtfully.
Leaving aside how those royal districts in the Western Continent felt, just talking about the major royal districts and forces in the Eastern Continent that were shaken by this news were all full of suspicion.
……
After the sun sets, the [-]th district has less hustle and bustle during the day.
The night was as thick as ink, and most ordinary residents had already fallen asleep.
There were two or three men in black walking quickly on the street, and only their own footsteps and breathing could be heard from each other.
These people quickly entered a small house on the side of the street, and there were already people sitting at the head of the room waiting.
A feminine voice sounded in the darkness: "Sir, you are very capable. The patrol schedule for our war department members is not bad at all."
Before the lights were turned on in the room, a hoarse and obviously disguised male voice sounded impatiently from the upper seat: "Why are you coming back, what are you going to do?!"
Another somewhat gloomy voice sounded, with a smile, and said kindly: "We want you to help us pay attention to the movements of the third district, especially your... Wang."
"Why?! Do you really think I'm with you?" The man above said softly, dissatisfied. There were many people standing around him, presumably with guards.
"Huh? It turns out that the master is not with us?" The cold voice was contemptuous, and he laughed again: "Then why did you "unintentionally" leak the security layout plan on the day of the grand ceremony to us?"
"I just hate Wenren, but that doesn't mean I'm going to betray District [-]!" The voice became extremely annoyed.
The men in black were not in a hurry, and said slowly, "You should be aware of your king's methods. If you let him know that you leaked the defense plan, think about it, how will he deal with you?"
"You!" Standing up abruptly from his seat, the man was already in chaos.
With a strange smile, the masked man in black approached him in the dark.
Sen Leng said: "You, you still have to be obedient! Be good~"
