Chapter 21 Excuses for knitting

Janus patted the sofa casually: "Since you are the hermit's subordinate, just call me Mr. Janus."

I'm not his subordinate!

We are just cooperating! Just cooperating!

With the mood of visiting a grave, Mus swallowed his saliva and slowly walked towards Janus.

His thighs were tight, his butt was next to the sofa, and he sat down on the sofa in a striding posture.

If the sofa were suddenly pulled away at this moment, Moose probably wouldn't even fall.

This scene is very similar to that of a subordinate who committed a crime and was called to the office by the leader.

Looking at the cheerful leader, you can't even sit still.

"Don't be so nervous. After all, you are not my subordinate. I will not kill you casually."

Janus put his hand on Mus's shoulder, which almost made him jump.

‘So being your subordinate is such a dangerous thing!!!’

Musi deeply realized what it means to accompany a king like a tiger.

Even though Janus seemed to have no airs and seemed very talkative, he did not dare to be presumptuous in the slightest.

You can understand this feeling of fear by giving the simplest example.

A wild adult tiger licks your scalp very curiously. Are you moved?

Anyway, Moose was almost moved to tears.

Then here comes the problem.

Song Jie is obviously this guy's subordinate, and he is Song Jie's subordinate.

Himself∈Songjie,Songjie∈Janus.

so.

Himself∈Janus=He is a subordinate of Janus.

Moose felt a chill in his heart.

'Hermit, from today on you are my boss!'

At the critical moment, Musi could no longer care about independence.

That's right, the hermit is my boss!

I've actually been providing logistics for The Hermit!

"First the messenger, then you, the hermit came to Qianhua Market?" Janus asked.

How could I know, brother!

How dare Moose admit that he knows nothing.

If he just said that he had nothing to do with the hermit, he might be separated from his body in the next moment.

How can I express tactfully that I don't know about this without making Janus suspicious?

It’s time to embody the art of language.

Moose was quick to think and came up with a perfect explanation.

"The hermit and I usually communicate one-sidedly. He can only contact me, but I can't contact him.

Not long ago, after being exposed in Nevada City, we met for the last time.

Then I came to Qianhua City for temporary refuge, and I don’t know his movements for the time being.”

Each sentence is true, but when combined together, it can mislead people in other directions.

It gives people the illusion that "Musi and the Hermit are very familiar".

The point of a perfect lie is not that you make things up to deceive others.

Instead, you take advantage of the weaknesses of human nature to guide others to deceive themselves and actively believe every word you say.

Anyone who cannot do this is just a third-rate liar.

Why was the collection of hermit stories written by Moose so popular?

All it depends on is modesty and brainstorming.

After he finished writing it, not only did he not sell it in a big way, but he hid it very tightly.

Until one day, a piece of gossip "Suddenly" spread that "Musi knew about the hermit's past".

Moose tried his best to deny it at first, but he couldn't resist the overwhelming number of buyers.

In the end, he was "forced" by the pressure of the boss who was on the killing list and made this information public.

And while announcing it, he continued to state that this was just a story he wrote casually and had nothing to do with reality.

Everyone expressed their understanding.

You know how to avoid suspicion.

As for whether there are unrelated persons who purchased the hermit's information.

If you didn't have a guilty conscience and had nothing to do, why did you spend exorbitant prices to buy the hermit's information?

The price of that piece of information is quite price-breaking for even a big boss.

Most people simply can't afford it.

Those ruthless lone wolves with only a vicious reputation and no savings were almost in tears.

But Moose has a big boss as a guarantee, and no one dares to rob it openly.

Needless to say, everyone can understand the danger of selling hermit information, and it is more expensive.

You can't stop eating without letting people have enough to eat, right?

Otherwise, who would do such a thankless job in the future?

The lone wolves couldn't afford the money, but in order to protect themselves, a dozen of them banded together to buy information.

Then prepare to sell the information for a second time to get blood back.

It's just that they don't have a second chance to sell it.

Those who purchased the information were soon slaughtered by the hermit.

No one knows the authenticity of the information anymore.

Moose didn't have the courage to offend the big guys and ruthless lone wolves on the road.

But the ability to deceive all the big guys and sell fake information at sky-high prices to make money.

Not only does he have it, he's huge!

Musi did not keep the money he earned from selling false information, but took the initiative to show his goodwill and split the money 30/70 with the hermit.

You know, the proportion of criminals in Nevada City ten years ago was extremely heinous.

That's literally more air than there are in Lay's potato chips.

Even if it is only 30%, it is enough for him to squander.

"In other words, you don't know the whereabouts of the hermit?"

Janus' slightly dissatisfied tone awakened Mus from the glorious days of the past.

"Yes, it is."

Musi said tremblingly.

"This is difficult to handle. He is not here in person. As his subordinate, you are working under me. It will not be easy to explain when we meet in the future."

Janus touched his chin and muttered in a low voice: "In order to avoid misunderstanding, why don't we just kill this guy and pretend he never came?"

'I'm still with you! When you say this, can you consider my feelings?'

Musi was so frightened by these words that he trembled in despair, wailing in despair.

"Haha, just kidding, I didn't expect that guy with a straight face all day long to have such a lively subordinate like you."

Janus smiled and patted Musi's head like he was petting a dog.

The latter was trembling and forced a smile.

Because he always felt that Janus would easily twist his head off...

"but."

Janus, who was smiling just a second ago, said in a serious tone: "You and the messenger casually ran into my territory, which troubles me a lot."

A capital word "danger" glowed brightly in red above Moose's head.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Janus's hand gradually slid down from the top of Mus' head and came to his neck.

He squeezed it gently.

"It doesn't matter if a courier breaks into the layout, and it doesn't matter if I add you. The worst thing is to add an extra player position afterwards, just adjust it.

But you actually told me that you don’t know the hermit’s whereabouts?”

Janus pinched the back of Mus's neck and shook his head gently: "You just casually walked onto my territory and interfered with my game without his orders. Do you have the qualifications to do so?"

Or is it that the hermit is too indulgent to you, making you unable to recognize yourselves?"

Even a fool can feel Janus' murderous intention at this time.

But Moose had no idea where he was going wrong.

You were fine just now, why on earth did you fall out so quickly?!

What the hell did that messenger guy do!

Moose felt that he died unjustly.

Obviously he didn't do anything, he just came to Qianhua City to take refuge.

But he was implicated in the Immortal Bureau just because of his identity as a "hermit's subordinate".

It's right to just come out of the tiger's den and enter the dragon's den again.

But right now, it's not the time to worry about those little things.

If you don't give Janus a satisfactory answer.

The other party will definitely pull out his head and cervical vertebrae from his neck, just like pulling out radishes from the field, and hang them on a wooden stick to use as a lantern!

Musi felt the tighter and tighter hand on his neck and shouted quickly: "The Hermit should be in Qianhua City too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his clenched palms immediately stopped.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Janus asked with interest.

"When we last met a few months ago, he told me that he planned to leave Nevada City and retire!

Although he didn't say where he planned to go, based on what I know about him, he is likely to come to Qianhua City!

That’s why I’m here to continue my job as an information dealer. If he wants to come back one day, I can continue to assist him!”

Sorry for the hermit.

Please forgive me because we have known each other for many years.

I promise!

This is definitely the last time I act in your name!

Musi kept apologizing to the hermit in his heart.

Of course, the above content is all made up by Mus himself.

He had no idea where the hermit would go. He just said this to highlight his "loyalty" to the hermit.

"Oh~ So that's it."

Janus seemed to believe it.

Before Mus could breathe a sigh of relief, Janus' words pulled him back into the abyss again.

"However, the Hermit has always been a loner. I have never heard of him having such loyal subordinates."

Janus released his hand from squeezing Musi's neck: "Except for his confidants, all the other subordinates have as many as they want. A lot of people will come over just by hooking up."

"Even if I kill his men, I guess he won't care."

"Then, how do I know if you are the hermit's henchman?"

In your eyes, are all my subordinates disposable chopsticks?

Moose roared in his heart.

But Janus didn't care about that.

He snapped his fingers, and an orange-red door appeared inside.

"Since you are a confidant, you must know something related to us. I will give you three minutes to explain."

Janus pointed to the door and said: "The other side of the door is the stratosphere. If you are just making this up, I can let you experience skydiving without a parachute bag for free."

So, who was this guy the Hermit before?!

Look at that weird orange-red door.

Moose's legs were shaking.

He had no doubt of Janus's words.

Because it would be the same if the other party changes the threat method, there is no need to lie to him with such a lie that can be exposed immediately.

Most people's minds go blank during life-or-death moments.

There are only a few people who stay calmer in times of crisis.

Moose was obviously the latter. He racked his brains to recall every word the hermit said to him.

When Janus was a little impatient in waiting.

Musi decided to kill the horse and become a living doctor: "The reason why the hermit and I retired is to avoid the investigation of the Asian Federation Countermeasures Bureau! Are you...the Apostles that the hermit said?"

……………………
