MTL - Morning of Swordsman Tower-Chapter 158

"Don't worry, Miss Ceylon, I won't do anything to Miss Hei, but the premise is that you have to listen to the role I have arranged for you. Even if the core is a clichéd story of a brave man saving a princess, I can make it come true with my talent." Bloom a unique beauty, and, I have a reason you can't refuse."

Reasons that cannot be refused... have the ability to put down the gun in your hand before speaking.

Of course, Ceylon was not stupid enough to single out a killer who could knock Hei down without a sound. She made this gesture just to cover up her inner panic, and for now, she could only follow the opponent's wishes.

"It's impossible for me to sell anything about Zista, and I don't have any right to do so, but if you can let Hei go, I'm willing to be your hostage, and my father can pay a large amount of ransom."

As soon as Ceylon finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell into a dead silence like falling into an ice cave. Even the young lady who was not touching the sun suddenly became sensitive to the atmosphere, and realized that she might have stepped into a minefield.

Generally, in such a dangerous situation, it is indeed the right choice to temporarily express a willingness to cooperate with the kidnapper who is unable to resist. After fully demonstrating their own value and importance, normal people know how to choose.

That's right, "normal people" know it.

Today, I will let you, a young man, see what abnormal human beings are. Have you heard the story of Boqihang? In the second year of Yuanhe, the adventurer Joe William, 48 years old...

"Do you know? You are not the first person to try to use a dead thing like money to measure my talent. A respectable old gentleman once said something similar. Do you want to know what happened to him afterwards?"

"...He, is he dead?"

The pink bird feathers on the top of Ceylon's head were shaking like chaff. The handle of the umbrella slipped from her hand and she hurriedly squatted down to pick it up. Although she does know a little water-based combat origin stone spells, it needs to be used in conjunction with watery terrain. Unleash the power, otherwise, at most, it can only drench the other party through.

But this is not the shore of Lake Siesta, but a coffee shop. Perhaps the only way to do this is to blindfold yourself with hot coffee.

"No, an artist who pursues excellence will not use emotions to answer questions, so I smiled at him and made him and his relatives and friends my loyal fans with works full of screams. It didn't hurt anyone, it was just a show, it was suffocating."

Every cadence of Jogo’s crazy-looking but legendary fantasy seems to strike a dramatic melody out of thin air on the piano, making Ceylon feel as if he is on the stage of the resplendent Royal Victoria Opera House. Accepting the illusion of all the attention, he completely forgot the fear of shaking off the bird's feathers just now.

If it was the Great Chief Gavial with ordinary taste, she would not be confused by such rhetoric at all. Compared with some hairy performances, perhaps touching the fighting skills with Gavial with a hammer would make her happier.

But for Ceylon, an upper-class lady who has never seen the coldness of the world and is full of romantic and idealistic fantasies, she has an extremely fatal attraction.

From this time on, Jogo's image in Ceylon's eyes has gradually changed from a vicious, greedy and bloodthirsty killer to the type of Rogue Zorro.

May I ask which chick in the boudoir has not imagined such a plot? Break away from all the rules and common sense that you observe in daily life, exercise your inner justice where laws and axioms cannot touch, and use swords and roses to cast a romantic epic that spreads on Terra.

"I will use the same method to prove to you that no price tag can measure my talent! No poem can match my work!

Miss Ceylon, I sincerely invite you to help me make it beyond the peak, this is my carefully prepared repertoire for you, Kiesta deserves some purer artistic taste, and you, will be beautiful. "

Ceylon, who was immersed in it, was full of longing for fantasy, and she didn't even notice that Jogo had slowly walked in front of her at this time, gently took the only parasol in her hand that could be used as a weapon, and put the other hand on the on her cheek.

Without a single shot, her defenses were completely removed.

If Hei Xing saw this scene awake, he must have dropped the sniper crossbow and stretched out his claws to scratch Jogo's face in a hurry.

Fortunately, Qiao Ge is not fond of the tauren. He is just using the most appropriate way to select the actors he likes, and at the same time, he is also maximizing their potential...or acting skills.

------------------------------------------------

"Damn it, how can troubles happen one after another at this time!"

Bai Gugu... Ah, that's not right, it's Mayor Siesta's personal assistant, Cronin, cursing secretly in the office at the moment, and he has good reason to say this because he is planning to get the Mayor's hand. Conspire to seize the entire Zista.

To be precise, it is an obsidian mine built on the ruins of Siesta.

Obsidian is a gemstone formed by the unique geological environment of the Kiesta volcano. In the early days of the establishment of the Kiesta tourism industry, the city’s fiscal revenue was once dominated by the trading profits of obsidian and its products. The Obsidian Music Festival is a legacy of that period. repertoire.

However, it was later discovered that over-exploitation would destroy the volcanic ecology here, so Herman completely banned obsidian mining. Anyway, the booming tourism industry has been able to stir up the financial burden, and there is no need to kill chickens to get eggs.

But Cronin was not reconciled, because when Herman was obsessed with planning and building the paradise in his deceased wife's mind, he was the head of the obsidian mining industry, and the oil and water in it were enough to risk being hung on a street lamp.

Now Cronin only has the title of assistant to the mayor left, and a natural disaster messenger function similar to a weather forecaster. The sum of the two salaries is not as good as the previous croissant. How can he accept this?

So he had a bad heart, and secretly colluded with V3 Industrial Company, which was in charge of mining obsidian, not only secretly digging obsidian behind Herman's back, but also deliberately destroyed the key nodes of the volcano, in order to make Mount Kiesta out of control.

According to Cronin's professional calculations, the Obsidian Festival one and a half months later is when the volcano erupts. When Mayor Herman and tourists are submerged by the erupting lava, the bustling Kista is just like Chernoborg. Become a dead city in ruins, he can swallow the wealth of obsidian without restraint.

But at this time, Rhode Island, who is said to have a very high-quality armed man and has won a large-scale battle, came to join in the fun. Not to mention, before he could come up with a countermeasure, Herman's daughter Ceylon was arrested again. people were kidnapped.

This forced Cronin to devote a lot of energy to arranging rescue matters for Herman. After all, he was still the mayor's personal assistant, so he couldn't be passive and sabotage at this time to arouse Herman's suspicion.

"Wait, maybe I can... kill two birds with one stone?"

Money touches people's hearts, even when they are busy, the inspiration for making money can flash. Cronin suddenly realized that if Ceylon has not been rescued successfully, Herman will definitely not want to negotiate a contract with Rhodes Island, and he will not There will be time to investigate what he and V3 are secretly doing to the volcano.

As long as it is delayed until the day when the volcano erupts, all worries will disappear with the volcanic ash.

"I don't know if this kidnapper is reliable or not. How about I find a way to buy him with money? No, it's too risky. I'd better quietly rescue the lady first, and then... I will kidnap her myself!"

Chapter 446 As the saying goes, lynx seeks in danger

Since he thought of a good idea, he immediately acted on it. Cronin immediately called the president of V3 Industry and told him all about his ideas. However, this was not a discussion with the other party, but an order.

Cronin invested almost all the money he earned in the past into the V3 industry. He said that the two parties were in collusion. In fact, the V3 industry has been fully controlled by him. The status quo of the volcano has been formed. Liquidated by Herman, there was no turning back for him.

"Be sure to find them before the Public Security Bureau! It would be best if the kidnappers and the young lady can be controlled together. If it doesn't work, kill the kidnappers, but the young lady must be caught alive! What? Of course it was disguised as their gang's infighting The scene! Didn't you call yourself a professional before, and you still need me to teach you?"

The president of V3 Industry on the other end of the phone had a hard time. What he said was professional in company operations and decision-making. Which company’s president specialized in covering up the murder scene? !

However, Cronin understood the plan very clearly when he told him. Indeed, there are still many uncertain factors in the past one and a half months, but as long as the mayor Herman's attention is deliberately held back, he must first attack the mocking The entourage is basically guaranteed.

As for the price to be paid, it was probably only dozens of lives. Herman must have gone crazy at all costs in order to save his daughter, and many armed conflicts would definitely break out during this period.

The only difference is how much these human lives are worth. The lives of mercenaries are very cheap, but Cronin specifically explained that mercenaries cannot be used because he doesn't trust those who are blind to money. Maybe they will secretly use Ceylon to follow him Herman exchanged a high ransom.

Therefore, we can only use V3 Industry's own fighters. This team was cultivated with the money invested by Cronin. The armed forces came together from inside to outside to forcibly capture Kiesta.

And using these fighters at this time can be regarded as "making the best use of them".

"It's good to understand, my hands and feet here can't be too obvious, but I can tell the dynamics of the Public Security Bureau at any time..."

Just as Cronin was discussing the details with the president of V3, a knock on the door suddenly sounded outside the office, causing Cronin to hang up the phone. Door.

However, there was no one outside the door. Even if Cronin poked his head out to look around, he couldn't see anyone. Confused, he thought that he was too nervous just now and misheard, so he closed the door again, and turned around to pick up the personal phone Re-dial to V3 Industrial President.

But the second he stretched his hand towards the table, a sharp and icy object hit the back of his head, scaring Cronin's hair... and shrinking into an owl stick.

Cronin didn't dare to look back, but with the reflection on the window glass, he probably recognized the identity of the person behind him?

"Hei, Miss Hei? Why are you here, Mr. Mayor has been looking for you!"

"...I didn't protect the lady well, and I didn't have the face to meet the master, but I will definitely rescue the lady safely, even at the cost of my life!"

The person behind Cronin holding a crossbow arrow against his head is Hei himself. Although Hei is a sniper now, she was trained to assassinate at close quarters before, not to mention that she is also clear about the security arrangements of the city hall.

So relying on the naturally agile and light body of the Filin tribe, Hei easily sneaked in front of Cronin's office door, used the classic trick to get people to open the door, and then hung on the ceiling to use the blind spot to enter the interior.

Not long ago, when Hei Gang woke up from Mengxi's nightmare, there was only an empty cafe in front of her, and a pool of "human ashes" on the ground wrapped in a broken dress that still had residual warmth. It was the same one that Ceylon was wearing today, and the huge bullet hole on the chest was exactly the same as in the dream.

If you want to use this little trick to trick Hei into thinking that Ceylon is dead, even Jogo himself doesn’t believe it, but it’s more than enough to mess with her mentality. Now Hei is almost turning into a lonely Nemesis, The whole body is full of plot and combat power bonuses.

Probably similar to Keanu Reeves who was kidnapped by his own puppy.

But Cronin, who was held in his head by her, is going to be a dog. If you want to catch the kidnapper, go catch it. What does Hemo have to do with me? I obviously want to kill him too!

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't have much time, tell me all the information you know about this matter now, otherwise I will expose your stealing of obsidian!"

When Cronin heard the words, he broke out in a cold sweat. Even the feathers on the top of his head were soaked in sweat and could not stand upright. Hei was the person Herman trusted the most, and even she knew the secret Herman It must be clearer, I didn't expect to be targeted long ago.

But since Cronin dared to make such a big deal, it was impossible to say that he was not brave. He quickly calmed down and figured out the reason behind it.

The process of illegal harvesting and sales involves a lot, so it can't be hidden for too long. It's normal to be discovered, but judging from Hei's urgent and threatening tone at this time, she probably hasn't investigated the deeper things in it. , that is, plans to destroy volcanic ecology.

From this point of view, it is even more necessary for him to "take over" Miss Ceylon from the kidnappers. Otherwise, once Herman is free, both he and V3 Industries will suffer.

"No, no problem, Miss Hei, I will definitely cooperate with you with all my strength, please don't tell Mr. Mayor about this matter, I will never dare again."

Seeing Cronin's panic-stricken appearance, he thought it was true to save Ceylon's black letter, so he put down the crossbow arrow in his hand, but he didn't realize that he just made this gesture deliberately to delay the action of V3 Industry.

At the same time, what are Jogo and Ceylon doing at the center of the whirlpool?

…

"Miss me? Dear Kelsey."

"?????"

Kelsey stared at Dr. Qiao with a lynx question mark all over her head, who seemed as relaxed as coming home from school, and the person behind him was the mayor whose portrait was plastered all over the streets and alleys of Siesta. The daughter of Ceylon, obviously the trouble he caused has been the mud rock hammer.

But this is not the most important thing, because Kelsey has long expected that he did it. The biggest problem is... They are not in Rhode Island, nor in the Hermann Hotel, but in the city hall of Kiesta Hello, in the VIP lounge!

If you want to do something, do it far away, what's going on with the hostages! ? Now Rhodes Island can't get rid of it!

Chapter 447 I have a unique preference for cats and cats

"You better give me an explanation."

Otherwise, you'll be hanging upside down at night with Warfarin for the next month.

Seeing that there were outsiders at the scene, the plush and cute Kelsey, whose elbows were always inseparable, didn't say this, but her home instinct was already hungry and thirsty.

"Isn't this very obvious? Most people in the city hall are now organizing rescue operations. The most dangerous place is the safest place, and I slipped in with a familiar local. If someone finds out, don't worry."

No one was found... What about the mayor's daughter who was kidnapped by you in the package? It's as if Rhodes Island isn't negotiating business with her family!

Kelsey was about to be stunned by Jogo's divine logic on the spot, but she still had to maintain her "knowledgeable" image in front of outsiders. At least this could show that Rhodes Island was in the same position as the doctor, rather than letting him alone To bear the responsibility of being held accountable by Xista afterwards.

You see, the big lynx really still loves me.

However, Kelsey still missed a point. Ceylon followed him "voluntarily", and Jogo didn't point a gun at her so that she couldn't refuse.

As for who is the local who leads the way for Qiao Ge, it is obviously Hei who went back to the city hall to collect information from Cronin. It is absolutely impossible for Hei to bald her own tail. The target to be dealt with can be so arrogant.

Not only did he not take Ceylon away while Hei was hypnotized, but instead he found a place near the cafe and sat down to drink tea and wait for someone to wake up, and then followed her to the city hall, she sneaked in, and he followed her Sneaking in behind her **** together, this is a high-end technique that uses the psychological and visual blind spots, and it can also bring some benefits by the way.

And the most outrageous thing is that during this process, Qiao Ge let a layman like Ceylon follow him at any time. This is much more troublesome than the "obstructing pear" around him in Resident Evil. Otherwise, you have seen Killer 47 sneaking in. With an ordinary person without any training?

Apparently, even Ceylon herself knew how difficult it was to do this, because she was well aware of black skills. Her father alone wanted to build a new mobile city from scratch, which would definitely attract the greedy prying eyes of many forces. Ceylon was able to grow up so big without incident, and Hei deserved the credit.

More importantly, this is very in line with the romantic plot that Jogo promised her, allowing Ceylon to experience a thrill that she has never experienced in her life. At the same time, returning to a familiar place can also make her a baby bird It is more secure, and it is convenient for both parties to further let go of their guard and open their hearts.

"You are Dr. Kelsey from Rhodes Island, right? I have known you for a long time. I graduated from the Originium Graduate School of Victoria University. I have heard from my instructor that Rhodes Island is a bright light in this field and has rescued countless infected people. I personally I also respect doctors and researchers like you very much."

Ceylon's remarks are naturally exaggerated in the polite way of high society. I have heard that it is impossible. You must know that in the plot without Jogo, Rhodes Island was even killed by Cronin in Kiesta. An empty mouth and white teeth slandered as a fraudulent organization, which shows how weak Rhodes Island's previous reputation was.

If people from Raytheon Industry and Rhine Life come here, do you think Cronin would dare to speak so loudly?

But if it is put into the present, it is not a violation. Except for the reputation earned by the "main" business of Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals, it is almost entirely set off by the Ursa, and it is almost impossible to be completely neutral in this world. Impossible, so Rhode Island's reputation has spread widely in both anti-Ursas and pro-Ursas countries.

"This...Miss Ceylon is awesome. Rhodes Island has never thought of being someone's beacon. We just do our best in this world shrouded in clouds, so that the hopeless can continue to live. "

Kelsey certainly didn't expect Ceylon to have such an attitude, as if she didn't think she was kidnapped by Dr. Dog at all, but our negotiator's on-the-spot response was also extremely fast, which made Jogo couldn't help giving her some advice behind her back. Liked.

Then he was stomped on by Kelsey's heel calmly.

"However, Miss Ceylon was talking about the Originium Graduate School just now? Why do you want to choose this major?"

Originium research is also considered a popular major in Terra. After all, this kind of talent is needed in all aspects, but almost no upper-level people will engage in this kind of work. Most of them are low-level people who are determined to use knowledge to change their destiny.

There is no other in-depth analysis of the reason, it is just because if you have too much contact with Originium for a long time, even if you take good protection every time, you will not be able to avoid the fate of being infected by radiation. Death, and abnormal death before infection.

Although Rhodes Island's reputation is getting better and better, this only indirectly improves the treatment of infected people a little bit, and cannot completely change their status. Once an upper-class person is infected, it is almost the same as Tianlong people being demoted to pariahs No difference, how can they accept this?

That's why Kelsey was surprised when she heard that Ceylon was an Originium major. Generally, such a young lady shouldn't learn business management, literature and painting, fashion design, Triceratops boxing, etc., even if she learns something related to Originium. Whether it is medicine that has nothing to do with stone disease, why can't you think about it so much?

Judging from Ceylon's physical examination report after joining Rhodes Island in the game, the crystallization density of her blood origin stone is already much higher than that of normal people. This is not a surprising value for origin stone researchers, but considering Not long after she graduated, it can be seen that her research attitude and self-sacrifice spirit have surpassed most of her peers.

"It's not like you are worthy of admiration. It's just because I have a sister who grew up with me suffering from Originium disease. I hope to use my own efforts to cure her completely since I was a child. It’s impossible, but I still followed this path stubbornly.”

"No, it's possible."

Ceylon looked back when she heard the sound, only because it was not Kelsey who answered her, but Jogo.

"Tara is indeed cruel, but not necessarily ugly. It is precisely because there are many blooming people like you that people die... Ah no, life becomes an opera, not a passing scene.

My previous works are full of questions, and I have never had an answer, but I can still tell you without doubt that Rhodes Island will eventually find the answer, and the world is full of desolation, except for this one! "

Chapter 448 A variety of vibration doctors switch with one key, there is always one that suits you

"I heard you right, do you really want to join Rhodes Island? Just because of what Bo... what this guy said just now???"

"Yes, although I have conducted some investigations and considerations on Rhodes Island myself, but in terms of the results, he was indeed the one who convinced me."

Kelsey felt very unbelievable about Ceylon's choice, although it seemed logical that a person who volunteered to major in Originium Research came to Rhodes Island, and it probably meant that the contract with Zista was a sure thing.

how to say? Lynx's heart is also very contradictory. On the one hand, she definitely welcomes Ceylon to come to enrich Rhodes Island's medical research team. There is no business plan in it, even if Ceylon is a powerless commoner, the treatment she receives Still the same.

But on the other hand... She is as sensitive and alert as a domestic cat whose newly adopted pet bird is staring at her toy. Although her intellect told her that it was unnecessary, she subconsciously had this feeling.

In fact, it is really not necessary. Ceylon has a "big black cat" to masturbate, so she won't miss Kelsey's furry. She is willing to follow Jogo just because of a promise, and a young lady who can satisfy her Vanity, and a chance to impress both Hei and his father.

Of course, Kelsey gave Ceylon an affirmative answer, and verbally agreed to her request to join Rhodes Island, so Ceylon chatted with Miss Brainaxe, who also graduated from Victoria, and Kelsey hurriedly Take the opportunity to pull Dr. Qiao into the cubicle to talk alone.

"So why on earth did you make this whole thing happen? Wouldn't it be okay to just introduce her to meet me?"

Kelsey now deeply suspects that Ceylon has Stockholm Syndrome, and she doesn't know what the doctor did to her.

"Oh, Aneng, my dear Ms. Kelsey, you who are as extraordinary as the stars in the night sky..."
