Chapter 1496 Lasso
As the first high-level observer of Tianzhu Mountain that Mo Tan met, and also the most mysterious and fashionable high-level observer, Wu Zai took a sip. After drinking tea, he expressed in an extremely light tone that he and Lu Wei had the same opinion.
In Mo Tan’s view, Long’s words were both unexpected and reasonable.
So he just nodded slightly, neither expressing his own opinions nor asking how the other party knew what Lu Wei said to him.
“Lu Wei is a very pure person.”
Hao sighed softly and said leisurely: "But this is also the problem. He is too pure, so he lacks consideration in many things."
Mo Tan frowned slightly, a little curious. He opened his mouth and said: "You mean..."
"I mean, he actually has many ways to convey his thoughts to you."
The hazy tone sounded Somewhat helpless, he paused for a while before continuing: "But he chose to isolate you from himself in a place where even we can't sense it. This approach is really a little inappropriate. If we don't get along, Friends who don’t know how long it is, it’s really easy to cause misunderstandings.”
After hearing this, Mo Tan was slightly stunned, but after thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, “I don’t think Master Lu Wei didn’t consider it. That’s it, Mr. Long.”
"That's it."
Long immediately followed Mo Tan's rhythm. Instead of showing the slightest doubt, he chuckled and said, "I understand. Lu Wei has isolated himself from you in a secret space. The purpose of whispering is not just to let you understand something, but also to convey a signal to others... Haha, to put it this way, my previous thinking was too shallow. "
Mo Tan also laughed lightly and said softly: "I'm just guessing."
"That can only mean that your guess is much deeper than mine."
Hazy While pouring himself tea, he smiled in a rather relaxed and cheerful tone: "I don't want to waste too much time, so let's get straight to the point. From now on, I will temporarily give up the 'obscure' position, but stand on Talking to you from the perspective of thirteen high-level agents of Tianzhu Mountain, of course, this is just a scene.”
Mo Tan took a sip of the tea, which until now had no way to add basic attributes to himself, but was still outstanding in terms of taste, and repeated with some confusion: "Scene talk?"
"Yes, really The reason is that among the high-level observers, the only people with whom you have had much communication are Lessard, Noyce and me. Lessard’s personality is not suitable for chatting, while Noyce and others There is work to be done on the other side of the arena."
He leaned back lazily on his chair and smiled in his soft and magnetic voice: "So everyone thought about it and finally decided. Let me have a little chat with you as a representative."
Mo Tan, who originally planned to have a good chat with these Tianzhu Mountain bosses, nodded slightly and smiled apologetically: "Although he may not say it. What nutritious content, but I really want to know more about the situation."
Having decided to be frank, Lu gently tapped the rim of the cup and said with a half-smile: "It sounds like we are about to meet. An unfair exchange of information.”
"Although I shouldn't be qualified to bargain with you, but..."
When Mo Tan said this, he suddenly paused, and then showed a breathtaking smile: "Mr. Long and I You have the same view as Master Lu Wei."
He nodded calmly, and there didn't seem to be much regret in his tone: "Although from a high-level observation. From the perspective of the reporter, we do prefer a relatively fair exchange of information...or at least it must be an exchange of information that you know everything about, Brother Mo. But since I have no objection to being selected as a representative, naturally everyone will not say more. What, then...do you mind letting me pace this conversation?"
"Of course I don't mind."
Mo Tan shook his head without hesitation.
"Then, let's start with our investigation of the prophecy."
Long did not say any more nonsense, but immediately went straight to the topic: "To be honest, the results are not very optimistic. I I think you should have guessed that in view of the importance attached to this matter, starting from the discovery of you as the light of the apocalypse, our Tianzhu Mountain has already launched operations. It is a pity that except for Cordoba, other agents There was almost no useful information collected in the first period of time.”
“Sorry.”
Mo Tan raised his hand slightly to stop Hao who deliberately paused to ask questions. , asked politely: "If it's convenient, can you explain to me what an agent is?"
"Of course, if it is you."
He only thought for less than two seconds before giving an affirmative answer, and then explained softly: "To put it simply, the agent is just like its literal meaning, it is to replace 'Tianzhu Mountain' The people who walk on the mainland and do things are not servants of Tianzhu Mountain, but like-minded partners in a sense, at least for the superficial reason."
Mo Tan had similar suspicions before. Not surprised, he just continued to ask: "So, you...well, I mean..."
"There is no need to look for euphemisms."
Considerate The ground stopped Mo Tan's thoughts and said briskly: "Yes, as you guessed, the indigenous people of Tianzhu Mountain cannot leave here in most cases, including Master Lu Wei and We are high-level observers.”
Mo Tan’s face was slightly solemn, and his eyes were a little more searching.
"Strictly speaking, this is not a secret. Although there are not many people who know it, it is not a small number."
Hazy smiled nonchalantly and motioned to Mo Tan to relax. He casually brought the topic back: "So those agents are naturally people from outside Tianzhu Mountain. The ones you are more familiar with are Femiguel and Cordoba. One of them is The pure-blood dragon who originally lived in the Pride of the Dragon Clan is an outsider 'player' like you."
When he heard this, Mo Tan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he used it very normally and naturally. He asked in a tone of voice: "Besides that? Fimi's joining Tianzhu Mountain should be related to the Sun Dynasty, and the rune body carrying Cordoba was created by Master Lu Wei Are other agents in a similar situation? "
"No, there are too many reasons for people to become agents, whether they are pursuing knowledge, power, learning, or anything else, as long as they are pursuing it. Anyone who is recognized by a high-level observer in terms of character can sign a contract with Tianzhu Mountain and become our spokesperson in the world.”
Long did not hide anything and explained to Mo Tan in detail: "The content of the contract also varies from person to person. In fact, there are very few people like Fimiguel and Cordoba who run around all day. Before this, most agents would generally live their own lives while protecting the secrets of Tianzhu Mountain, and then live and die normally.”
Mo Tan grasped the key point keenly, leaned forward slightly and asked: "Before this?"
"Yes, it was before this."
Hazy played lightly He touched the jade cup in front of him, causing the tea inside to ripple: "Since we After the investigation into the light and shadow of Apocalypse began, the number of agents mobilized was dozens of times that in the past. Especially after one of the agents died inexplicably half a year ago, almost all agents outside Tianzhu Mountain took action. ”
Mo Tan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, Then he hesitated and said: "Cordoba once mentioned a name to me - Farah Ossis."
"Yes, the protector of the country in the Chauvin Empire, the legendary sage with a far-reaching reputation. Farah Ossis is one of the representatives of our Tianzhu Mountain. He didn't know the details of the prophecy, but he was the first person to discover the clues." When he mentioned Farah, there was a hint of solemnity in his tone: "He died in front of Cordoba who went to confirm the situation. The truth was not conveyed to us until the end.”
Mo Tan nodded silently. Although he did not know that Farah Ossis, he still felt a little sad at this moment, because if nothing unexpected happened——
"The unknown shadow of the apocalypse should be Farah ·Responsible for the death of Ossis."
Long's tone was still calm, and he just said categorically: "This is the conclusion that all of us have reached, but the problem is..."
"Sorry."
As a result, at this moment, Mo Tan suddenly interrupted Long and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Long, I have a suggestion."
The latter was slightly stunned, then nodded and said: "But say It doesn't matter."
"You said before that you hold the same view as Master Lu Wei."
Mo Tan took a deep breath and said with a strange expression: "Then, I will. I hope that from now on, you can apply this point of view to me as well."
A glimmer of light seemed to flash under the thick linen bandage, and the hazy tone rarely became a little confused: "Mo. "Brother, although I think I know very well what Lu Wei is thinking, what exactly do you mean by what you just said..."
"That's what it means literally."
Mo Tan nodded seriously and said with an extremely serious expression: "I know exactly what I'm talking about, Mr. Long, but please forgive me for the inconvenience because of the excessive content. Revealing too much.”
He didn’t give any feedback immediately. He was silent for about half a minute, and then suddenly stood up, put his hands behind his back and started pacing in front of the table. His pace was neither fast nor slow, and there was no obvious fluctuation in his expression, but Mo Tan could still feel that this high-level observer with great depth and mystery was beginning to feel restless.
But Mo Tan had no choice. If it was very dangerous for him to easily release certain information to Tianzhu Mountain, then the reverse was also true.
Mo Tan couldn't believe 'himself'. Although this was a very ridiculous thing, he finally interrupted the person who might want to leak some important information to him, and asked this high-ranking official The observers sent an obvious signal.
‘Mo’ cannot be trusted.
Although Mo Tan has said it vaguely enough, there is no doubt that what he wants to convey is this news.
[I was careless after all...]
Looking at Long, who was still pacing slowly, Mo Tan smiled bitterly and drank the tea in front of him in one gulp, tapping himself lightly. forehead, and then sighed deeply.
Mo Tan knew very well that after all, he thought of things too simply.
It is too naive to think that we can make progress by communicating with the seemingly omnipotent Tianzhu Mountain, and that we can break the situation early by joining forces with Lu Wei and those high-level observers.
Lu Wei's previous words shattered half of the plans Mo Tan had made on the way here.
And he himself broke the other half with his own hands a minute ago.
Tianzhu Mountain cannot be trusted, Mo Tan has never considered this possibility before.
'Youself' cannot be trusted, this is the main premise that Mo Tan came to not long ago, but even a seriously mentally ill person like him has no habit of being wary of himself, and he can say what he said just now Reacting before the end was already considered valuable.
After all, over the years, the only people Mo Tan could trust were Yi Dong and himself.
[Is this why ‘I’ don’t care about being exposed at all, and don’t take any remedial measures even if things change? 】
When he thought of this, Mo Tan's hands were shaking uncontrollably. Only then did he realize that it was impossible for him to discuss countermeasures with Tianzhu Mountain.
If you don't figure this step out, you are very likely to unintentionally become a pair of eyes without any awareness, constantly conveying messages to the 'silhouette' that is always hiding in the dark, and obliterate it. All the efforts of Tianzhu Mountain.
If you figure this step out for yourself, the best result is the same as before. If you think about it at the worst, it is very likely that the character of 'Mo' will directly let go of the initial trust that he has finally established with Tianzhu Mountain. Destroyed.
Just look at Long's reaction and you will know that even an unfathomable person like him seemed a little unable to sit still after realizing the true meaning of Mo Tan's words just now.
The situation went from bad to worse in an instant, and what is ironic is that the reason for all this turned out to be that Mo Tan caught the clue and completed a series of analyzes through the existence of Jia Wen. .
At first glance, this seemed to be a good thing, a good thing that could bring him one step closer to the truth, but it was only now that Mo Tan realized that after he took this step, he was directly locked to death. He is stuck in the same place, unable to move forward, and is isolated and helpless!
It was like being invisibly tightened by several invisible nooses.
A cold chill gradually spread in Mo Tan's heart, and the suffocating helplessness made him feel like breathing was a burden.
Then——
“Calm down, Brother Mo.”
The always gentle and strong hand suddenly pressed on Mo Tan’s shoulder, and the calm and powerful voice sounded firmly behind him: "There is no need to get upset because of this small setback. Although I don't know the fate, But I believe that neither you nor we will stop here so easily."
"Mr. Hao..."
"The road ahead. If it’s steep, just walk more carefully, what do you think?”
