0061 Chapter 2 Part 1: The Shadow of Death (To be continued in Chapter 17)
See, this is the advantage brought by "time travel". With the experience of the last "reincarnation", Zhen Cheng guessed Zhi Shi's attitude early on.
She waved her hands casually and said, "I don't need the random nonsense on the Internet. I just want to know the exact information from you, an insider."
Detective Seungbian, who was dozing, immediately opened one of his eyes slightly when he heard this. Unfortunately, his acting skills were so poor that only Zhi Shi, who was squeezed next to him in the cabin, could not notice it.
Zhi Shi seemed to have made up his mind and smiled calmly: "Miss, you always have subtle ideas that ordinary people like us can't understand, but this time your assumptions are really wrong. I feel sorry for not being able to help you.
I blame myself, but what the lady said is really..."
After an extremely bad night's sleep and seeing the destination approaching, Zhen Cheng was in no mood to practice Tai Chi with Zhi Shi anymore and directly interrupted his refusal: "When gold comes to this world, glory will end, and the oracle will surely come true."
She directly read out the words that the security guard shouted before he blew himself up in the last "reincarnation" that forced Zhi Shi to reveal the name of the [Oracle Order], and slightly squinted her eyes waiting for Zhi Shi's reaction.
As a result, the person opposite seemed determined to pretend to be stupid until the end, trying his best to look confused.
"You are lying," Inspector Shengbian beside him suddenly said: "The curve of the corners of your mouth in your smile is faintly curved at the end of the hook. This is the tension in the facial muscles that no one can hide when lying or being discovered.
.
Brother, if you are worried about us outsiders hearing something that we should not know, you can go and whisper to your lady across the street, there is no need to pretend like this, right?"
Compared to Zhen Cheng, who was still unclear about the role played by the [Oracle Order] in the series of assassinations against him, this fat man who was good at observing the details of people's expressions actually showed more interest in this name.
"I know a little bit about the [Oracle Order]."
After a sigh, someone finally spoke up on this issue. But it was not Zhi Shi who spoke, but the one of the two Severant warriors who had not undergone body modification.
Looking up at his employer's surprised expression, the man in the trench coat explained: "This is not family information, it's just some personal knowledge I encountered while doing the mission.
Naturally, the specific content of the mission at that time cannot be disclosed. Generally speaking, it was to go to the stronghold of some Oracle Order to pick up something that the family valued very much.
The people who participated in the mission at that time were all the most elite warriors of the family, and we always thought that there was a close and fierce battle waiting for us."
"It doesn't seem surprising that overwhelming force was deployed to avoid damage because the intelligence was unclear." Inspector Shengbei immediately made a judgment based on the police's style of conduct. The man in the trench coat shook his head:
"The family doesn't value the lives of its soldiers that much. I think Miss Zhen should know this better. The purpose of sending us may just be because the things we need to capture are very important.
But that's not the point. What really impressed me was that not only was there not a single Ascendant among the people in the stronghold, but none of them even looked like they had received combat training.
However, the development of things was far beyond our expectations. They all wore uniform metal masks, one after another, waving mops and folding chairs, and rushed towards us like crazy.
Our mission requirements were originally just to seize the target items and avoid meaningless battles as much as possible. But when the mission ended, not a single person was left alive in the entire stronghold, and even one person in our action team was killed."
"How could one of the elite team of the Severnt family be killed by an unarmed common lunatic?" Zhen Cheng couldn't help but look surprised.
The man in the trench coat nodded in affirmation: "Well, there were some quite dangerous gadgets in the things they kept. It was negligence that led to his death. We have reason to believe that the members of these cults themselves did not understand their usage, otherwise there would be no reason to be there.
A desperate suicidal charge that abandons the use of fairly effective means.
In addition, we also discovered a large number of antique cultural relics in the stronghold, the specific value of which is difficult to estimate. According to the family's work distribution system, all participants received a huge amount of income after the incident that is unimaginable to ordinary people."
Zhen Cheng tapped his temples while secretly observing Zhi Shi's expression: "So this is a civil society group composed of fanatics, possessing a lot of wealth and even taboo relics, but without any force to protect themselves?
This makes it understandable why they chose to hire mercenaries like caps when they wanted to get rid of me, because at most they only have ordinary people like the security guards who sneaked into the school to act as minions. But how in the world?
Could such an organization exist?"
Zhen Cheng's problem is very practical. Although the three major families have divided the world since ancient times, it only takes a hundred years for everyone to tacitly put all conflicts of conflicting interests under the table.
In those days when the heroes were divided, how did such a trustworthy lamb survive? If they are a new group, how do they explain the source of that huge wealth?
The more straightforward question is, after attracting the attention of the Severnt family, how can such an unarmed organization protect itself so that it can still find ways to hunt down itself?
At this time, Zhi Shi, who seemed to have finally figured out that his eldest lady was sure that she knew something about this for some unknown reason, finally spoke:
"Miss, please don't look at me like this. I have no intention of betraying the family and deliberately concealing it. Regarding the [Oracle Order], the head of the family gave instructions not to reveal it to the younger generation. 'The water is too deep, and it is not suitable for children to participate.'" His
That’s exactly what I said,”
Zhen Cheng raised her eyebrows. She believed that even if Zhi Shi really betrayed the Zhen family, he would not deceive her about something that could be easily verified.
As for the father who never took the lives of his children seriously to protect them so tenderly, Zhen Cheng didn't believe a word of it. The only reasonable explanation is that if the descendants of the Zhen family are involved in the [Oracle Cult]
In the affairs of the group, there will be troubles that will cause him, the head of the family, a headache.
"Actually, I don't know the specific situation clearly. I only know that the history of the [Oracle Order] is actually much older than the three major families.
In very ancient times, the [Oracle Order] was the mastermind behind the world. It was not until the new forces led by the Zhen family launched an indescribable war with them in the unspeakable realm that the three major families were established today.
accumulation.
As for that ancient war, I really don't know anything about it. If you have the ability, you can try to get some information from me." Zhi Shi spread his hands, and without waiting for Zhen Cheng to continue to make insinuations, he explained the part he knew.
Tell it all.
"More...older?" Inspector Shengbian muttered after hearing this, and Leng Buding suddenly exclaimed: "Does this organization have any symbolic signs? For example, a holy emblem, an idol, or a symbol or something?"
"A regular octahedron, with many symbolic figures kneeling down around it." The man in the trench coat responded quickly to this question, and that action left an indelible impression on him.
Then Zhen Cheng slapped her knee: "Antique fragments?!"
