900. I just found out that the numbering error in the last chapter should be 899 -_-?
Hidden in the forest, the trees disappear without noticing - this principle is applied very well by Meteora.
She wants to hide her true purpose, but she also understands that it won't work in front of someone whose strength and status are far higher than hers.
Stars who are proficient in the art of great prophecy can easily detect lies.
Therefore, she found more "real reasons" and planned to mix things up with others. No, it can't be said to be "like things". Because the other "real reasons" are all real, and she should use more "more real reasons".
There are many pearls, and the pearls are mixed together."
Anyway, Xing Ke doesn’t have more intelligence and shrewd means to distinguish which one is more authentic from a lot of genuine products.
It is not impossible to simply find an initial source of power, but I always feel that such an obvious thing will be a "trap" that Meteora has prepared long ago.
Not to mention that you can’t just find any one of these reasons to deceive yourself.
Forcibly asking Meteora to speak can only be a multiple-choice question of "choose one from tens of thousands"...
All in all... Xing Ke's train of thought has reached a dead end.
Being incompetent, he could only think of boring homophonic jokes in his mind to laugh at himself, but he had no way to counterattack an army.
"Ah...lose, lose, all your years have been wasted." Xing Ke slumped on the table and said dejectedly.
By the way, he is not a very wise and monstrous character. The fact that he appears to be very smart is just a bonus due to his age and experience.
Sometimes when you are older and care about face, you don’t want to make yourself look inferior to those young people. Xingji can pretend to be pretentious (pretending to be B), but who makes him really have the ability to pretend?
But apart from the shell of strength and experience, his intelligence attributes are really not that high, let alone revealing secrets. Decryption depends on [inspiration]. Is it possible that he still needs Fuling potion?
"I quit." Xingke spread his hands to express his resignation, looked at Meteora resentfully, and threatened:
"Meteora, you win this time, but don't be too happy. Maybe I will suddenly think of a solution that day. Then we will have a good chat, haha."
"Okay, waiting." Meteora replied calmly.
I had expected that Meteora would have this kind of expression as if she had cast a [Mechanized Mind] spell, and there was nothing Xingji could say to her.
For being able to work so hard to protect her secret, Meteora deserves praise and appreciation, not disgust.
Although she killed her best friend's husband, Xingji still has to say it again - she deserves to be praised and praised for her efforts to this extent.
Without trying to dig out anything from Meteora, who had deliberately remained silent today, Xingji turned to Serekia and said unapologetically:
"Sorry, Serekia, it seems that I am not able to answer your [question]."
"No one asked you to do this, so you don't have to apologize." Serekia, who was very angry with Xingke now, would certainly not give him a good look.
"Then I will not apologize to you for my [excessive behavior] just now."
Xingke smiled and said: "Just pretend that we haven't seen each other for decades and we miss you so much, and say hello with French warmth."
"That's enough for you! I don't need your sophistry to pity you."
Serekia said angrily: "Whenever one day, I am strong enough, I will definitely collect today's debt with my own hands!"
"Oh? Do you want me not to come back?" Xingke said in surprise:
"Is that okay now? Although you are a widow, I welcome you."
"..."
"Okay, let's stop with this nasty joke first." Seeing that things were not going well, Xingji restrained his bad humor and stated his request:
"Whether you seek revenge or forgiveness, it doesn't matter what you do, as long as you stay calm. I don't want a revenge ghost with no limits and no reason to wander around in front of me in the future."
"That's really a lot of trouble for you, Master Xingke, hum--" Serekia finished speaking word by word, snorting coldly, her whole body filled with fierce and sharp fighting spirit.
But when he saw that the dark, sticky abyss-like aura that had hit a low ebb just now was gone, Xingji smiled nonchalantly and lowered his head to drink tea:
"Then, the next topic is that the incident this time is a bit big. Everyone knows about the battle, but there are still very few people who know the truth.
But after all, we are no longer a small organization with only eleven people, and it is not good to let the younger brothers below have their random thoughts... So, how should we publicize it to the outside world?"
The next moment Xingji raised the question, Serekia, who didn't want to care about this, said:
"How to publicize it? Can't you just write an announcement on the Magic Online and explain it? This has been done before."
"Explain it? How?" Xing Ke asked back.
"How to explain, it's not..." Serekia suddenly stopped talking.
She remembered that she had never cared about this aspect of the matter. In the past, when there was any major incident or panic in the death courtyard, Meteora took care of the aftermath. She never had any doubts about the outcome of the handling.
What opinion.
She unconditionally believes in Meteora, and she has never had any complaints about Meteora's efficiency and quality.
But this time, she could only remain silent.
It was during her moment of silence that Meteora said:
"In the past, when there were similar situations, I would fabricate a fact with nine truths and one falsehood. On the basis of not breaking trust, I would hide some private matters and the parties involved, and use the name of [the original nine-member council] as credibility to suppress rumors.
.
But this time, to be honest, the impact of this incident is quite large. Serekiya and I, as the parties involved, are also special cases among special cases... Lord Xingke, what do you mean?
You brought it up because you had something you wanted to do, right?"
"Well, you guessed it." Xingke nodded and admitted:
"Although I only know your response measures now, and I think your previous approach has been pretty good.
But, don’t you think this still doesn’t have the [features] of the Death Garden?”
"...please speak." Meteora knew that she was in the wrong now and did not stop Xingke from doing whatever she wanted.
Xingke coughed twice with a smile on his face and said:
"Ahem, first of all, we don't need to hide anything. Hongjie Ark has never been the kind of black-hearted organization that relies on hypocritical [beliefs] and [ideas] to maintain credibility and class oppression, isn't it?"
"...Yes, the operating model of Hongjie Ark was decided by you, so there has been no cohesion." Meteora said bluntly.
There are no hypocritical [beliefs] and [ideas] - it sounds nice to say it, but the opposite is: this organization does not even have a supreme leader and a unified goal. The nine small heads do their own thing and don't care about anything.
As an organization, it is basically a piece of loose sand connected by contracts, lacking substantial cohesion and directionality.
But precisely because of this, the fight between two of the nine little bosses did not cause much panic. They even joked about the large number of people watching the show, so no one was worried at all.
"There are actually very few people on the Internet who really care about you two. Most of them just want to know if it will affect their own interests. The others are just watching the fun.
So, we don’t have to hide anything anymore, let’s make this real-life story into a movie and release it!~”
