In fact, even if this man did not surrender, Si Anke had no intention of killing him directly.
Because Si Anke has not forgotten... his real main mission is actually to "recapture Annan's token".
The current step is just to get weapons and get the next step of information.
After all, Si Anke is completely unfamiliar with the environment here - he is not even sure about the taboos of people in this place, and the distribution of forces in this city. He doesn't even know how many enemies there are, and he only knows two things.
Things... My equipment is at No. 23 Bilgewater Street, and the mission target is at No. 35 Bilgewater Street.
Si Anke didn't want to kick the door open and find more than 20 people inside looking at him in bewilderment.
He previously thought that there must be someone stationed here on the 23rd.
In fact, Si An Ke did not guess wrong.
If he had come to the meeting later, these two people would have already returned; if he had come to the meeting earlier and was not alert enough, he might have been discovered by them from a distance after going out.
He carefully chose to use the house across the street to check out the location, just to avoid this situation.
When Si Anqi inquired about Gerald's news, he was also very cautious. He first found the first passerby and asked him: "Is the dentist named Gerald in this clinic?"
After he received the news that "Dr. Gerald seems to have not been here for a while", Si secretly waited for a while, then reappeared at the door and asked the second passerby: "Dr. Gerald has been here recently."
Yet?"
After repeating this three times, he felt at ease.
And Si Anqi's cautious inquiry method was only able to confirm the whereabouts of a mere dentist. No one would be wary of this - it was perfectly normal to come all the way to seek medical treatment.
That's why he chose this place.
But if Si Anqi just stupidly asked passers-by for information such as "How many people are there in your gang on No. 35 and how many guns do they have?", basically you would not get any reply... I know.
I would never dare to answer.
If passers-by hear it again, Si Anke may be inquiring about their information, and he will run faster than Si Anke and reach the enemy first...
So Si An Ke planned to keep him alive from the very beginning.
Otherwise, he would not take the risk of using a paralyzing ointment with unknown effects instead of directly using the poison he obtained to attack the enemy.
...But in Si Anke's original plan, he should have beaten the person until he was breathless first - after completely disabling the other person's ability to move and stimulating the other person's desire to survive, he should then ask for information.
Then, depending on the situation, decide whether to kill the person or leave directly.
Of course, this mainly depends on the appearance of the surviving bandit, his attitude towards him... and the strength of their power.
but now……
Is this person too proactive?
Before he could take action, the man had already surrendered.
This actually made Si An moment hesitate.
Because according to his idea, it would be safest to chop people until they are temporarily incapacitated, lest he go out to recruit reinforcements after he leaves.
But if I continue to attack him...it is inevitable that he will hold a grudge and deliberately tell me some wrong information.
Si An's thoughts were racing, but he didn't let this man wait for long.
He spoke directly and said in a deep voice: "I can't let you go directly...and even if I do let you go, it's hard to explain if you come back intact."
"……what you up to?"
The man was silent for a while, then asked cautiously: "Are you from the lord?"
"I don't belong to anyone."
Si Anke was a little frightened secretly, but said in a deep voice: "I can spare your life, but you don't want to ask too much."
This person's guess was quite good - he could indeed be considered a member of the lord, but he and the lord had never met each other.
But this made Si An immediately make up his mind.
Even if you don't kill this man, you must at least blind him.
In order to prevent him from bringing someone to retaliate against him in the future - if he loses his eyes and cannot identify himself, the danger will be much less. If you are worried, you can cut off your tongue as a precaution.
This is also why Si Anke didn't ask about the attack on him.
This is equivalent to telling him directly who he is... and if he leaks such obvious information, he will probably not be spared his life. Instead, he will not say anything... The four secretly hope that he will reveal more information.
The purpose is very detrimental.
Si Anke pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Where are your gang's daily gathering places? How many people do you have, and how are you armed?"
He mixed a bunch of questions with a question that he knew the answer to, in order to reduce the possibility of the other party talking nonsense.
After all, Si Anqi really doesn’t know anything... We can only use this method to barely judge whether he is telling the truth.
——Even if he really said the number 35, it doesn't mean that what he said is true; but if he didn't say the number 35, it would probably be a lie.
"...I now believe that you are really not the lord's man."
The man was silent for a while and then answered: "No. 35, 37, and 39 Yishui Street, No. 13 and 17 Chishui Street, No. 23 and 25 Qingshui Street. These are our daily gathering places..."
Si Anqi was a little frightened when he heard so many numbers.
"Then what?"
he asked.
The man was silent for a while, and then he answered in a low voice: "I don't know the exact number of us. After all, it changes all the time. Someone may die every night, and someone may join at any time..."
"Tell me the exact number you last knew, and the date you obtained it!"
Si Anji answered without hesitation, and at the same time kicked forward, knocking the man who was standing with his back to him to the ground, and warned sternly: "Don't look back! Don't reach for the weapon, say!"
"Let me think about it..."
After the man finished speaking, he was silent for a while again and said slowly: "The exact number... should be five days ago, no, six days ago. At that time, we were No. 137, and we had a total of eleven guns.
.However, if conditions permit... we can have up to fifty-one guns."
"Conditions permitting?"
Si Anqi asked nervously.
Eleven guns - this number puts too much pressure on him.
Even if there were only two or three shots at 35 Rusty Water Street, it would still be a huge threat to him.
Players like them are even more afraid of firearms than bandits in this era.
He even hesitated...how to invade?
Is it possible to take off this person's clothes and sneak in?
It's impossible, this isn't really a beater... They just beat me up last night, right? My memory can't be that bad, right?
The man said slowly: "If conditions permit, it means..."
"——That is to say, you'd better not move."
At this moment, a cold voice came from behind Si Anke.
He felt a sharp and sharp metal object pressed against his neck at some point. The cold air made goosebumps appear on his neck... and the tight fit even made him feel a slight tingling on his neck.
It hurts and may have started to bleed.
...It’s an enemy stalker!
Si Anqi's pupils suddenly shrank.
when?
The moment doubts arose, Si An instantly reacted—
The loud surrender before was not for myself.
It’s for friends who may be outside!
The man, like himself, did not open the door... but touched it down from the second floor!
The route is the same!
Damn it, I should leave some traps on my invasion path next time...
If there can be a next time.
I saw the young bandit who was kicked to the ground by Si Anke, calmly picking up the scimitar he threw, then stood up, turned around and confiscated Si Anke's weapon without mercy.
Also confiscated was everything he had on him - including the wad of banknotes.
"This guy is quite rich."
The man clicked his tongue in surprise.
The man behind Si Anqi said coldly: "I'm afraid this is the deposit - the deposit that will cause us trouble."
After he said that, he suddenly took back the dagger and hit Si Anqi's temple hard with the handle.
His vision suddenly went dark, and his whole body fell forward helplessly on the ground.
In a blur of consciousness, he saw a tall, thin man behind him.
The young bandit came over and kicked himself hard in the face, knocking his health down to less than half, but the pain also made him wake up.
"Tie him up!"
The man ordered: "Ask him if he has any antidote."
There's an antidote for Jill.
I don't even know the name of the poison!
Si An cursed in his heart.
But at this moment, the door was suddenly kicked away with a huge force.
The door flew out and knocked the tall, thin man to the ground!
And a petite figure holding a giant ax flashed past like lightning, crashed into him quickly, and knocked the young bandit away!
The moment his body left the ground, the ax cut him into two pieces!
Another figure walked directly to the tall and thin man and knocked him out with an iron rod.
"No... you didn't eat, so you came here to get beaten up?"
Si An suddenly heard a very familiar, joking voice ringing in his ears.
