The two of them walked in the darkness, going deeper and deeper underground.
Reina looked at the tunnel that went deep into the ground and was not the way out, and the fear and uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense.
She felt as if she was stepping into the abyss step by step...
Finally, Reina couldn't bear the strange indifferent atmosphere and asked cautiously: "Mr. Su Lun, where are we going now? Aren't we going back to the ground?"
Looking at the timid way he looked around, he probably felt that if something happened in this environment, no one would know even if he screamed until his throat broke.
"..."
Hearing this, Su Lun looked back at her. After pondering for a moment, he said: "You don't think you are safe now, do you?"
"ah?"
Reina looked a little guilty, as if she saw a word engraved on her forehead from that look: stupid.
Su Lun thought for a while and explained: "The sound of the explosion will spread far away, which is enough to attract killers. Abnormal monsters are just a means of murder, and the mastermind behind the scenes... is a human being. If people find out that you are not dead, do you think they will
Will they come to find you? Go out now, I'm sure there will be a killer waiting for you outside."
If saving people was as simple as dealing with a few aberrant monsters, he wouldn't have hesitated several times before deciding whether to take action.
The man behind the scenes is what he is really afraid of.
.......
"Ah? I...I..."
When Reina heard this, a lot of contradictory information seemed to flash through her mind instantly, and her words were a little incoherent.
I was chased by monsters all the way just now, and I didn't have time to think about it. Then I changed my clothes naked for the first time in a strange environment, under the gaze of strangers, and my head is still buzzing and blank until now.
After listening to the words, she immediately figured it out.
Only now did she realize that the man in front of her was indeed as her aunt said. He would have an almost inhuman calmness under any circumstances. (The original words seemed to be about how to place bets on the gambling table. Anyway, that's what it meant, and it didn't matter anymore.
.)
Thinking of this, Reina realized that she had really asked a very stupid question just now.
Such a smart gentleman must have guessed his stupid and naive idea just now.
She blushed and weakly expressed her apology for her random guess: "I'm sorry..."
"..."
Su Lun didn't pay much attention to her, didn't seem to care at all, and continued to move forward.
In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Reina thought for a while and then took the initiative to say: "Mr. Su Lun, aren't you curious why the accident happened during the trial? And who is the murderer behind the scenes?"
Su Lun frowned, as if he felt a bit verbose.
Probably because the claustrophobic environment made the eldest lady feel uneasy, she wanted to talk to seek some comfort. But in this situation, is it time for small talk?
Ha, sure enough, women only affect the speed of drawing a gun.
He said calmly: "I'm not curious."
"..."
Reina looked embarrassed for a while.
Seeing her wanting to say something, Su Lun felt that she should end this meaningless chat.
He thought for a while and then said in one breath: "If I guessed correctly, your father should be critically ill or about to retire, and you are the first heir to the consortium, so you have to inherit the consortium naturally. Unfortunately, you have
Some uncles and cousins who are very utilitarian, and then... the mastermind behind this attack is probably a direct relative who is most likely to inherit the consortium if you die? "
Hearing this, the shock in Reina's crystal eyes became more and more intense, and she exclaimed: "Ah... you... how did you know?"
"..."
The corners of Su Lun's mouth tightened, feeling a little bored.
After all, it’s because the entertainment industry and communications in this world are not developed enough, and people at the bottom can’t afford to live in the upper class.
But this kind of internal fighting among wealthy families has already been played out in Su Lun's previous life novels and in all major financial groups in reality. There are gambling kings who forcibly extend their lives, several concubines fighting for power;
The father abdicates and seizes power; what kind of wealthy prince hunts down his bodyguard and lover who cuckolded him...
Reality is scarier than fiction.
The richer you are, the more ruthless you are to your loved ones.
There is no new story.
Su Lun felt that he had talked nonsense enough and did not speak any more.
However, after talking for such a long time, the good thing is that Reina really understood what was going on. She jabbed her finger and followed him obediently.
She felt like this man could guess everything.
Calm like a monster.
.......
As the two of them went deeper and deeper, the stench of the sewer became stronger and stronger.
While walking, Su Lun suddenly realized something. He looked back at Reina, whose pretty face was red from holding back, with a look of helplessness in her eyes.
I was thinking about other things just now and forgot that this girl was only wearing a thin shirt and not even a gas mask.
But probably because she was so speechless just now, Reina was embarrassed and didn't ask for anything.
Su Lun shook his head slightly, and then took out the clothes, musket, dagger and bullets from the storage ring.
"The bulletproof vests in the outer city are technologically backward and very heavy. Wearing them will greatly affect your agility. It's up to you to choose. If you don't wear a bulletproof vest, there will be no chance of error, and you must maintain a high degree of vigilance throughout the entire process. Caves
It's very dangerous inside, and even the slightest carelessness may lead to a fatal crisis. But if you wear it, if you encounter danger, you won't be able to escape..."
Reina took the heavy body armor, which was dozens of times heavier than the academy's combat uniform. She was about to put it on, but she heard Su Lun's analysis. She thought of something, and stepped back, answering weakly.
Said: "I...I'd better not wear it."
Su Lun put away the bulletproof vest, then pointed at the musket hanging on her waist, and reminded: "Try the feel of the musket first, but don't shoot. The firearms in the outer city are not as sophisticated as those in your academy, and the recoil is
It will be very large, so if you encounter a situation, you should be mentally prepared. The other one is a rune gun, which Charlie gave me before, so I should take advantage of it. However, the alchemy bullets are limited, so please do not shoot at will unless necessary.
..”
"oh."
Reina felt that she knew everything, but in front of this man, she seemed to understand nothing.
She was like a puppet at the mercy of others. Whatever Su Lun asked her to do, she could only say "yes" and had no room to refuse.
This man had already considered everything before he spoke.
The clothes were Su Lun's men's clothes, and Reina wore them too big. In the end, she only wore the thin shirt, not even pants, leaving her white thighs exposed. Fortunately, the darkness concealed the expression on her pretty face.
Su Lun was embarrassed and didn't want to take another look, so she didn't feel shy and embarrassed.
The shoes didn't fit her feet either, so she went barefoot. However, Catwoman was gifted with enhanced toughness of the muscle tissue on the soles of her feet, so it was fine to go barefoot, except that stepping in the wet sewer made her feel a little nauseous.
After distributing the equipment, Su Lun spoke again and announced: "Okay, from now on, you and I should keep a safe enough distance. Don't talk to me, don't make any noise at will...keep absolutely quiet.
"
"ah?"
When Reina heard this, she was puzzled.
Su Lun didn't hide it, and explained very directly: "From now on, you are the bait. I will see if I can save you again based on the strength of the enemy that may appear. Don't look at me with that look either.
Me. If you are with me, the enemy will only choose to kill both of us at once. I am just an ordinary gangster. Only if I survive can you survive..."
Su Lun didn't say a word. If the enemy was invincible, he would abandon the "bait" without hesitation.
After a pause, he added: "Of course, the ideal situation is that the enemies think you were killed by the aberration and no one comes after you."
"..."
Reina was stunned for a while as she listened, her pretty face full of confusion.
Yes, there is also a killer.
Listening to it this way, it seems that what he said...makes sense?
It made sense, but she always felt there was something strange about this.
Even if an upper-class gentleman faces death, wouldn't he first save the life of his female companion?
Why did Mr. Su Lun let me be used as bait?
Although she had never experienced such an unexpected incident, Lena still felt that the way the plot unfolded was not quite right.
She wanted to ask, but she didn't know what to say. He had already finished all the explanations.
Su Lun felt the aggrieved glances behind him, and had no intention of looking back. He quickly distanced himself, and said as he walked: "I'm just an ordinary guide... I'd rather take the risk to save you.
Sister Tiao is your aunt."
If you don't take the credit for yourself, you will save a lot of trouble.
By the way, I'm going to do a favor for Mr. Qiantiao, so that I can talk to him later.
Moreover, Su Lun's actions were not pretending to be cold, but the most rational choice.
Because he understands human nature very well.
Faced with such an arrogant aristocratic lady, if you treat her well, she takes it for granted, because she is treated this way in her daily life; however, when she discovers that your kindness comes at a price, then she will really take it seriously.
.
Bait is more valuable than tow bottle.
To be a good bait, you must have the awareness to be a bait.
In short, if you lick a dog, you will get nothing, and equal exchange is the eternal truth.
If you want to be saved, you have to pay the price.
What's more, although the words were ruthless, this was the best way Su Lun could think of to save Reina's life.
He knew very well that the killer who dared to attack this young lady was not an easy person.
