Infinity Armament

Chapter 161: Countervailing (1)

Two more graves on desolate land in Los Angeles.

It belongs to Jingxii and Lude.

Despite their attempts to harm themselves, Shen Yi left them to die, even though it seemed so distant.

They substituted cigarettes for incense flames and inserted them in the graves of the two men.

Standing not far away, Kyle Reese did not understand the behaviour of these adventurers - they fought side by side and killed each other, and then the rabbit died.

At the same time, he couldn't understand Marcus —— why a good end to a person suddenly turned into a machine.

Shen Yi stuck his hand in his trouser pocket, and the trench coat hunted and sounded under the strong wind. His eyes squinted slightly and seemed to be waiting for something.

King Kong stood beside Shen Yi and looked at the two graves. He muttered softly: “Too bad. ”

It is indeed a pity.

The death of two adventurers and the departure of Zhou Yiyu and Sang greatly diminished the strength of the adventurer team, and the next round of hunting, if no accidents occurred, they would only be part of the escape.

“You know what I think?” The waves suddenly said: "Maybe they didn't really die, maybe they just went back to the world they were once in, erased of their memories and abilities, and then went on living like ordinary people. Maybe death isn't real death, it's just a relief. ”

Gently looked at Hung Wang with some surprise: "When did you become so philosophical? ”

Flood shrugged: “It's just a self-comfort for those who fear failure and death. If one day I'm going to die, then at least I can use that reason to comfort myself before I die and tell myself not to be afraid, it's just a game, and now that the game is over, I can finally go home. ”

Shen Yiyu said: “Are you implying that if one day I leave the bloody city and return to Earth, I will find myself just a pile of corpses that have rotted? ”

Everyone laughed hahaha.

Laughter faded away the haze, making everyone feel somewhat better about the loss of strength and the leakage of information.

After laughing, Shen Yi looked at everyone: “Who figured out why I wanted Zhou Yiyu to leave? ”

Kong shook his head: “Still can't figure it out. All I know is that the comparison between us and the Stabbing Squad is like a game of cards. Once one of the cards is seen by the other party, it becomes passive. Even if we have new cards in the future, we can't replace those already exposed… the more good cards we have, the better, right? ”

Shen Yi chuckled: “If it's two people fighting each other, of course, the tighter you cover the cards in your hand, the better. It's better not to be seen by each other, and you have to look at each other's cards desperately. In such cases, it is true that one party's exposure to most of its cards can be problematic. Unfortunately, this is not a two-man showdown, but a multi-man showdown. The biggest mistake you made was to mistake our strength for no one else to betray, but you forgot one thing. ”

“What?”

Shen Yi sighed: “I remember telling you that Xie Rongjun also has reconnaissance skills. ”

As soon as that happens, everyone stays put.

Exactly.

In the bloody city, Shen Yi went to inform Xie Rongjun about his brother's death, he used spiritual probes on Xie Rongjun, but was called to break his city number by Xie Rongjun. This fully demonstrates that the Xie Rong Army also has probing skills and can see some of the details of each other.

Problem came up.

If Xie Rongjun has probing skills, why is it so costly to get Shen Yi's information at all costs?

You know, Shen Yi did this because his psychiatric probing skills were blocked by the Assassin Blood Squad, which couldn't detect anybody else. The ability to seal each other's probing skills did not exist in Squad 641, and the Assassin Blood Squad didn't have to pay that much.

But he did it anyway, and it was more generous and powerful than Shen Yi's.

Looking at everyone's stunned face, Shen Yi sighed for a moment and said: "Actually, there is never much news in the world that is not breathable. Even without Xie Rong Army's probing skills, we have cooperated with other adventurers on the first two missions and will always find some information as long as Xie Rong Army is willing. So Xie Rongjun did not do this for the purpose, or the biggest purpose, of gathering information. ”

“What's that for?” King Kong asked hastily.

Shen Yi's eyes showed a glimmer of helplessness: “What else could it be for? Look at what just happened. Don't you understand? That's exactly what Xie Rongjun wants... he's actually making enemies for us everywhere! ”

Xie Rongjun's bounty order appeared to be only one way of obtaining 641 squad information, but secretly hid another killing machine.

That's how he's turning all the slum adventurers into Shen Yi's enemies.

Believe no adventurer will mind betraying Shen Yi after receiving a reward order. Shen Yi, if they want to keep the secret of their strength, they will have to start killing, such as Jingxii et al.

The impact on Shen Yi is really huge, after all, he is best at using others.

On more than one occasion in his previous assignments, he has made other adventurers his allies, his tools, even his cannon ash, his ATM... Shen Yi is good at leveraging force and never easily engages in revenge in a bloody city.

However, Xie Rongjun's approach has nullified this specialty of Shen Yi, making him a thorny man in a bloody urban environment.

This is good for both sides to play cards, one of them openly releases a declaration, and whoever tells me what cards are in the other hand, I will give him a sum of money. So a bunch of guys watching the game got all excited, dying to peek at your cards. If you get angry, curse, or even fight, you'll find yourself in a four-way situation.

You'll be facing not only an opponent in the game, but also a large group of people outside the game.

The latter is even more frightening - Jingxii is dead, Lud is dead, the monk has fled, and Squad 641 has an additional enemy. If Jing XII and Lu De still have friends in this world, then there may be more than one.

If this situation continues, Squad 641 will soon be everywhere.

Shen Yi's opponent is the Blood Assassin Squad in the common area. He will only be stronger than Squad 641 in terms of strength and financial resources.

In order for other adventurers to choose the side team, 80% would only choose the Blood Stabbing Team instead of the 641 Squad.

It can be said that the Xie Rong Army's approach took full advantage of its reputation and strength and put Squad 641 in despair at the beginning of the war.

Therefore, the true intent of the Xie Rong Army to issue a reward order is not to know the bottom line of the 641 squad, but to deliberately use it as bait to create trouble and build enemies for the 641 squad.

Now, for example, because of the death of Jingxii et al., the difficulty of accomplishing their tasks has suddenly increased, which is precisely the result of the clandestine push of Xie Rong Army.

In this case, Shen Yi realized that if he wanted to finish the game well with the stabbing team, he had to first deal with the bystanders who kept peeking behind them.

Even if they cannot be used by themselves, at least they must be reinstated in a neutral position.

How can bystanders stop messing around?

The best way is to open the deck.

At this moment Shen Yi slowly turned around and faced everyone:

“To be honest, if I had known earlier that they had killed me because of the Xie Rong Army, and that the Xie Rong Army was using a reward order method, I would not have chosen to kill them. While information is the key to deciding whether to win or lose, alliances are even more important. It is the Path of Kings to be outnumbered and outnumbered. Fighting alone, with a dozen dozen... don't say there is no hope of winning, even if I can win, I will feel I have failed too much. ”

“As for Zhou Yiyu, I don't know if he will betray us, but it doesn't matter anymore. Think of it as a test for him, and if he hadn't betrayed us, maybe we'd have another comrade in the future. Even if he betrayed us, there would be a little bit of apology for being him...”

“This battle has just begun and our adversaries… are much more cunning than we thought. ”

Shen Yi's answer suddenly enlightened everyone.

They cannot fail to acknowledge that Shen Yi is far more comprehensive than they thought.

It is also because of this consideration that Shen Yi let go of Zhou Yiyu. For him, killing Zhou Yiyu or not doesn't really make sense anymore. Instead, if Zhou Yiyu hadn't betrayed them, he would have had another trusted friend. Emotionally, this is also the most acceptable option for him.

As for the monks… the hatred that has been forged cannot be turned back, it can only be confronted with frankness.

King Kong asked, "Why don't they just give us a higher price and ask for our heads? Isn't that simpler and more convenient? ”

“Because they don't want to kill us at all, it's just a front. For the Xie Rong Army, all he needs is to use this to provoke hostility towards us by other adventurers and to stimulate our resistance, thereby fuelling contradictions between us and others. For adventurers, in order to kill five adventurers at 15,000 points, it is obvious that it would be more cost-effective to exchange 10,000 points for intelligence on the five adventurers, which corresponds to the needs of the Sha Rong Army. If he really wants to buy our lives with money, he has to at least double the price he offers. Even for adventurers in the common area, 30,000 bloody dots are not a small number. The Bloodstabbing Squad doesn't have to pay this much, so it's better to strengthen yourself and kill us with your own hands. ”

Gentle asks, "So what do we do next? ”

Shen Yi smiled softly: “There are both sides of things, nothing chess is only good, nothing bad. Since Xie Rongjun doesn't need any information about us, but rather deliberately releases himself, then don't blame me for not being polite to get a benefit from him. After completing this mission, let's ask Ali to come to his place. Wouldn't it be nice if he sold our intel and made a net profit? Instead of letting others earn this reward, we can make revenge everywhere, let's make it ourselves! He's sending money to the door. ”

I couldn't help overhearing that.

Shen Yi's hand will definitely be shady enough. Since you want to make me enemies everywhere by way of a reward, I will simply sell my own information for the benefit. Believing in the reputation of the Blood Stabbing Squad will never be easy. Whether he buys it or not, this reward must be sustained at the expense of expensive blood spots.

If he wants to continue his senseless spending, he must cancel the reward order. As long as the reward order disappears, Shen Yi naturally does not have to worry about building enemies.

But King Kong frowned: “Anyway, exposing our details like this always has a huge impact on strength, what can we do to eliminate it? ”

Vajra's fears are unreasonable.

The Xie Rong Army, despite its probing skills, can only be used against people and not necessarily know everything. In other words, selling too much of your intelligence will still be very detrimental to you.

Shen Yi smiled slightly: “Sure. There are two ways to address the disadvantages. One: Look back at each other's bottom cards. Wouldn't it be nice if we all knew each other? We've asked Ali to do this, do whatever he has to do. As for the second point... just give yourself a new, leak-free base card as much as possible. ”

Speaking of which, Shen Yi's voice became shady and deep. Through the cold winter, he heard a heartbeat in everyone's heart.

Gentle instinct asked: “How do I get a new base card? ”

“It is, of course, a highly challenging task.” Shen Yi replied quickly.

High difficulty? Look at each other.

King Kong probed: "Are you talking about eliminating the terminator of the fourth round of pursuit? ”

“No!” Shen Yi categorically denied: “That's not very difficult! ”

He looked around at his partner and smiled: "Interested in going to Skynet headquarters with me? ”
