"So as I said, you should think about the problem from another angle."
The torrential rain didn't seem to have the effect it should have. Jian Beidong, who was still sitting on the big rock, took a heavy sip of wine. His bare back was bathed in the rain curtain, and then he turned his gaze from afar and continued.
The players who were surging forward retracted and glanced slightly at the bottom of the boulder not far away. At this time, Snow Spirit Huanbing was carrying a huge long sword and shrouded in the shadow of his cloak: "What do you want to know?
In the past, it wasn't something that only we knew - rather, the possibility of asking for this information from our mouths would be smaller, right? We didn't come here just to find him or help him.
"
"You used to be the team's main attacker and swordsman, and your personality is naturally much more casual as in the legend." Not paying attention to the other party's response at this time, Xueling Huanbing pulled his hood further.
A few points lower: "Then why do you stay here?"
"Do you still need to ask? Of course it's because Yu Shang is here too." Looking down at the camp behind the black cloaked figure, Jian Beidong raised his head again and took a sip of wine: "Yu Shang's wish is my sword
According to the direction of the blade, if Yu Shang is not willing to stay here anymore, then I will slap my butt and leave immediately."
"...I don't want to keep pestering you with such excuses, because from what I have learned before, 'interaction' with you is something Duan Qing has tried to avoid before." Xue Ling Huan Bing said in a low voice.
The words interrupted his silence after a period of time: "Even his name is no longer Duan Tianfeng, so he has always wanted to give up his past, right?"
"Let go of the past?"
Letting out a drunken snort, the man named Jian Beidong squinted his eyes condescendingly: "Even the former Sky-Breaking Blade, the world has never turned the way he wanted.
He is very clear about the consequences of forcibly resisting the will of the world and has already suffered it. It's just that the will of the world is quietly changing now - what? You don't understand what I say?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Anyway, this is not something that the canary who always thought it had flown out of the birdcage can understand." Jian Beidong lowered his head, still bathed in the heavy rain, and shook the wine bottle in his hand.
: "And aren't you still pursuing his past? Doesn't this also go against his wish to give up?"
"I just want to know the part about me in this." The hidden fists tightened and unclenched, and Xueling Huanbing's voice sounded very weak when she spoke again: "For example - do you know about that scene three years ago?
engagement?"
"...Now that I think about it, I should probably say 'four years ago', right?" As if he was surprised by the question raised by the other party at this time, Jian Beidong's eyelids slightly closed: "No, to be precise, the engagement
It should have happened much earlier, your parents of the Duan family and the Chu family have already made this agreement since you both came of age."
"If nothing like that had happened to the Duan family and the Chu family, I think this engagement could have continued." He showed a helpless smile as he said this: "In the end, due to some unknown reasons, the heads of the two families
Both died, everything seemed so coincidental, full of a strong flavor of conspiracy..."
"Did Cruhid disband due to the oppression of this unknown force?" Xue Ling Huanbing asked involuntarily: "Haven't you ever tried to keep this property in Duan Qing's hands?
?”
"With the strength of our respective families, no matter what kind of objective problems they are, we are confident to solve them." Jian Beidong replied in a low voice: "But the subjective problems are beyond our ability to solve. At that point in time,
No one wants to continue to maintain that precarious position, just like-"
"If you insist on fulfilling the marriage contract between the Duan family and the Chu family, even if he really disappears, no one will force you to terminate the relationship, right?"
There was another period of unspeakable silence, accompanied by the extreme sarcasm in Jian Beidong's words. Xueling Huanbing, who was standing with his hands hanging on the spot, seemed to have been completely immersed in the gray.
In the rain curtain, it took a long time for a hoarse hesitant voice to break the pain that almost penetrated every breath: "At that time... I didn't know him at all, and it was impossible to have any feelings with him. If
If I could go back to that time again, I would probably make the same choice."
"I understand. The eldest lady of a big family must take the opportunity to show off her spirit and get rid of the shackles imposed on herself." Raising his hand to flick the raindrops in the air, Jian Beidong replied matter-of-factly: "So
You should also be able to understand us, because the situation we encountered is the same. Once the people's hearts are dispersed, it will naturally be difficult to lead the team. No one is willing, nor has the ability and confidence to continue to maintain Cruhid at that time.
.”
"The situation is different now, and we can no longer stand still." With a heavy breath, Xue Ling Huan Bing dispelled his hoarse voice a little: "I am no longer ignorant, and Duan Qing is already mine...
...Man, with his current status and position, I should be able to pull him out of this situation."
"——"
Jian Beidong glanced at the other party again with sideways eyes. Without making any comment, Jian Beidong closed his eyes and resumed his drinking style: "Then what do you want to know?"
"Three years ago... no, everything that happened four years ago, and the real cause of death of the heads of the Duan family and the Chu family."
Finally raising his head, Xueling Huanbing's eyes under the shadow of the hood also glowed with cold light again: "Let Duan Qing be forced to retire, and Cruhid be thrown into the abyss - these two
There must be a connection, right?"
"Let's not talk about whether we know such deep and secret information...what will you do if you know it?" Jian Beidong replied with disdain: "Are you still going to seek revenge from them? Or do you want to regain Duan Tianfeng's power?"
Pull him back to the altar?"
"Duan Qing naturally doesn't want to mention this matter, but I can be considered one of the people involved." Xueling Huanbing reached out and pressed her chest, which was soaked by the rain: "Chu Yunhe, the current head of the Chu family, must have played a role at that time.
They have played a very important role, right? They are now with the Duan family."
"...Do you have any evidence in your hand?"
"Suspicion does not require evidence."
The rain kept flowing down the white wrist between the two peaks. Xue Ling Huanbing pursed her lips and continued: "Although I have no evidence in my hands, I still have other weapons that are enough to overturn the Chu family's weapons.
.”
"It's okay to tell you a little bit, but the Lin family and I were not involved in the virtual reality industry at that time, and we didn't know much about it." After looking at the woman's face steadily for a while, Jian Beidong shook his head with a smile after a long while.
He shook his head: "You should also know the public information. Duan Qingchun, the head of the Duan family at the time, died in an accidental car accident. The head of the Chu family - your father - was later found dead in his office.
The cause should be a heart attack, right?"
"What I can tell is that there is something fishy about these two deaths." The swordsman player paused for a moment, and the figure lying on the boulder straightened up a little: "Needless to say, your father,
With the development of the current intelligence and electronic sensing technology of suspension vehicles, a 'car accident' is an accident that is very difficult to happen."
"Then what's the real situation?"
"have no idea."
The simple and neat answer knocked back the light that had just risen in Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes, and Jian Beidong regained his casual and unruly appearance: "But I can give you another example: what happened in the League Cup nearly a year ago
You should also know about the incident in the qualifiers, right?"
"The members of the Fool's Adventure Group he was in at that time all encountered problems. Either something happened to their family or something happened to themselves." Before Xue Ling Huanbing could answer, the drunken swordsman continued to mind his own business.
Explained: "There should be someone here called Jie Cheng Evil Young Master, who is a programmer in the real world - don't ask me why I know so clearly, if you are still the eldest lady of the Chu family, you can easily investigate it -
He was almost hit by a hover car."
"...Is the situation the same?"
"We can't be sure, but it should be similar."
Faced with Xue Ling Huan Bing's extremely low-toned question, Jian Beidong explained nonchalantly: "A car accident itself is indeed very difficult to happen, but driving a hover car to hit someone only requires a slight modification of the safety system and braking device.
It's easy to do. There are many so-called 'gangs' in the east part of Hualan City that are not included in the city's management, and there are many lawless people among them who make this their profession...Ah, that's right."
"Speaking of which, when we were tracking that area, we also found a very interesting clue."
Reaching out and snapping his fingers again, Jian Beidong said this and looked down at Xueling Huanbing below with interest: "That person's name is Xu Liangyu - you must be very familiar with this name."
"He? Appeared in Dongcheng District?"
"That's right, the person driving the latest STV-UT6 hover car is even him - if he hadn't been so showy after just switching to a new car, we wouldn't have had the chance to trace his driving traces."
While the white-haired woman shrouded in the rain looked increasingly livid, Jian Beidong still continued indifferently: "But we didn't suspect too much at the time. After all, he and your Wings of Freedom were indeed hostile to the Fool's Adventure Group.
Relationship, it is natural to do anything unfavorable——"
"I'm not one of them! I've never! heard of such a thing!"
"Don't get excited, I also said 'at that time'."
Ignoring Xue Ling Huan Bing's sudden shout, Jian Beidong tilted his lips and smiled: "The subsequent development of the situation proved the split between you and the Chu family. We have fully seen Xu Liangyu's tricks.
But with our current balance of power, it’s really difficult to touch him and the Chu family behind him, besides—"
"Revenge actually doesn't mean much to us. Our top priority is still to turn the world around." Returning to his original tone, the naked swordsman vigorously shook the few wine bottles left: "Yes.
It's enough for a 'witch' like you and the other Avengers to cause trouble for them, and your identity and status are also the best to attract their attention."
"So that's it, I'm being treated as a tool by you."
Speaking of such complaints, Xueling Huanbing's livid expression relaxed a little: "But after meeting Duan Qing again and venturing all the way to the grassland, this influence should have begun to become more and more...
It’s too small.”
"That's right, that's why the new alliance will make its debut at this time." The expression on his face became dissatisfied and sighing because of the empty wine bottle. Jian Beidong burped and rolled his body up from the boulder.
: "Your duties have ended long ago. We don't expect you alone to play a big role in this huge power crushing. However, through your reunion with Duan Tianfeng, you can also make trouble in the imperial capital and the principality.
There was quite a movement, so——”
"Now you can stay here peacefully."
Several rumbling explosions suddenly sounded in the distance in the gray sky. The outline of the sacred mountain, which was somewhat blurred due to the rain curtain, also rose up at the end of the field of vision where the two people turned, stretching and moving their bodies.
Jian Beidong then raised his arms with a muffled groan, and the confused drunkenness was swept away from his face at this time: "Just leave the rest to us."
"You, what are you going to do?"
"Do you even need to ask? Of course I'm going to join the war!"
Pulling out the long sword from his waist, Jian Beidong showed a handsome fighting posture towards Xue Ling Huan Bing: "How can I not share in this kind of pleasure of ruining people's lives? That guy from Duan Shanyue is really too stingy.
Oh! You didn’t even call me!”
"Just let me meet you lingering ghosts for a while!"
Not intending to let go of this opportunity to fight, the bare-chested swordsman rushed diagonally above the ridge with exploding rain curtains and air currents. There was nothing unnecessary in the laughter coming from between the metal skeleton and the ruins.
The words, only the scream that broke through the air, turned into a farewell to Xueling Huanbing, lingering in the sky above the camp. Standing there digesting the information he heard and the meaning behind it, the white-haired swordswoman
Shi stood in the rain curtain next to the big rock for a long time. It wasn't until the camp space not far away changed, and the white light representing the upper line began to shine again, that she hurriedly wiped the red hair.
His eyes swept away the gloom on his face: "You, are you back?"
"Why are you here? And it's still raining?" He stretched out his hand and raised a magic barrier that was enough to cover two people. Duan Qing held up his "umbrella" towards Xue Ling Huan Bing, looking at himself in surprise.
Eyebrows: "What else can't be thought of?"
"Of course there is. Who made you leave me here so casually? You used that high-sounding reason." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who suppressed all the fluctuations in his heart and shook the rain off his body, replied with a complaint.
Said: "Tell me the result of your question. If you can't tell me, I won't punish you!"
"The conscience of heaven and earth, I really asked." Raising his finger to the sky, Duan Qing swore solemnly: "As for the result - hey, it's funny to say, what happened to those researchers who claimed to be scientists and Ph.D.'s in the end?
None of it has been studied.”
"On the contrary, we found some clues from the last historical records left by that old thief Kratos."
