When Chen Zhi heard this, he became uncontrollably nervous.
"What does he want to do? Have you... seen who he is?"
"What to do?
They just want my head on my neck!",
Bao Ping smiled flatly,
"I was sitting there, and he suddenly appeared behind me! He was not alive at all...
His hand was on my shoulder, and I could feel his gentle breathing and the sound of him drawing his sword.",
Bao Ping's eyes looked forward and continued to recall,
"His feeling is very similar to that of Ghost Sword, just like what Ji Ying described at that time.
That is a person who is as fast as the ghost sword, but far better than the ghost sword.
Although I am not a samurai, I can be sure that he is the most powerful samurai I have ever seen!"
"Then what……",
Chen Zhi asked next.
"Then……",
Baoping continued,
"He just stood there, holding my shoulders and standing behind me for a long time.
I didn’t move, and neither did he~~”
"What did you say?",
Chen Zhi asked again,
"I said two words...",
Bao Ping looked indifferent, as if that moment was not death at all for him, but a kind of enjoyment~~
"I asked him,
What is your purpose? Do you want to kill me? Or do you want to talk to me about something? Or do you come here to find someone?
But he didn't speak. I could hear his steady breathing behind me.
Finally I heard him put the long knife back into its sheath, and then disappeared in a flash.
When I turned around again, there was nothing behind me, and that person had disappeared like a ghost!"
"Then, was there an investigation afterwards? Are there any footprints on the ground?",
Chen Zhi asked:
"You know that with modern technology, leaving without leaving a trace no longer exists.
Chemists can find clues on the ground that people have stepped on, find fingerprints or skin scraps on door handles, and at least find the trajectory of this person entering Xiqi King City!"
"There is nothing on the ground...",
Bao Ping shook his head gently:
"You were recovering from your injuries in Beijing at that time, and I didn't tell you about it.
But I found a special person that day and searched the place thoroughly. No detail was spared, but this person did not leave any traces.
It was as if he appeared out of thin air, leaving no fingerprints on the door handle, no dander or hair, no footprints, or even traces of his walking.
The technical staff told me at that time that there could not be anyone behind me because the royal court was completely closed and no one could enter the closed room without passing through the gate. This was not scientific at all.
Said there are only two possibilities for this situation to occur,
First, I was hallucinating.
Second, that person is simply a ghost!"
"A ghost?",
Chen Zhi glanced at Bao Ping, then thought about it and said,.
"Master Bao, let's not discuss now whether there is such a thing as ghost in this world.
Just hypothetically, if that is really a ghost, who do you think this ghost warrior standing behind you could be?"
"have no idea!"
Bao Ping shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"Nowadays, I hate guessing things more and more. What I prefer is real evidence, and then analyzing the only possibility through the evidence.
What is certain now is:
First, I definitely did not hallucinate,
Second, there is no resurrection from the dead in this world, and there are no ghosts.
I still remember the touch of him on my shoulder. It was definitely a living person, but he had extraordinary physical skills that could make him as fast as a ghost. This is something we cannot understand now.
And this is the person...",
When Bao Ping said this, he handed the leaf in his hand to Chen Zhi and pointed at the code words on the leaf stems, "It was this ghost-like warrior who secretly passed a message to
Ghost Sword, rescued him..."
After Bao Ping finished speaking, he leaned forward and lowered his voice and said,
"So now we can paint a picture of this ghost warrior...
He definitely knows Ghost Sword and has a lot of connections. He once had a deep relationship with the organization and was able to travel back and forth between Xiqi King City, but the gate of Xiqi King City is not so easy to enter.
Therefore, he must have a high-status internal agent in this royal city!"
"You are suspicious..."
Chen Zhi frowned when he said this. He paused for a moment, first looked at the door, and then he looked hesitantly into Bao Ping's eyes.
"Do you suspect... that this spy is in the Presbytery?"
"Yes~~~"
Although Bao Ping's voice was slight, his tone was very sure:
"At this time, if you use the elimination method to look at the problem, it will be very clear.
In fact, it is very simple. Regarding the location of Ghost Sword, few people in the organization know about it, and even you and I have not been notified.
The only people who know his exact location are me, a few managers who have daily contact with the branch, and the people in the Elders' House. Apart from that, no one else~~
You know, the Ji family's elders' house has a very high status in Xiqi King City, and the status of the elders is extremely noble.
They were originally red-belt warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles and made great achievements in battle. When they grew old, they entered the Elder's House to guard Ji's ancestral hall. It was the highest honor of the Ji's royal family. They could interfere with anything in the organization and even monitor the leader.
Rights~~~
For thousands of years, there has never been a rebellion within the Presbytery.
So I never doubted them before and thought there was something wrong with the manager who contacted the branch.
But after this incident, I can now be completely sure that the ghost warrior’s internal agent is in the Elders’ Courtyard~~~
This Neiying is a calm person. He has always been cautious and has never shown any signs of weakness. But this time, an emergency happened~~
In fact, this time, this ghost warrior came to Xiqi King City, which was a very risky move. This proved that he was very anxious~~. He should know that the ghost sword was dangerous, so he urgently needed to find the location of the ghost sword, and then remove the ghost sword from it.
Get it out of the rudder.
But since it was such an urgent matter, why didn't he call the spy out to ask? Why risk entering the heavily guarded Xiqi King's City? This is unreasonable~~
Therefore, there can be only one reason, and that is that the spy cannot leave at all. He can only stay in the Xiqi King City forever. Although he has a noble status, he is restricted. Only those who meet these two conditions can only be members of the Elders' House.
So after eliminating all possibilities, even if this reality is no longer acceptable, it is the only answer!
There must be someone in our Ji Clan Elders’ House who has been delivering news to the ANBU..."
