Chapter 2698 Hostage Redemption
The flag of the Bloody Mercenary Regiment is hung diagonally on the wall of the building and blows in the wind. The ground is soaked by drizzle and snow seeds. On Nightingale Street, steel boots, cloth boots, and leather boots are worn. Walking on the uneven street with high boots, the carriages and horses splashed dirty water in the pit, drenching the white stray cat in the corner.
It was noon, and those who were not on mission in the mercenary group were dining in the backyard canteen. A thin middle-aged man came to the door of their canteen and knocked on the iron-clad wooden door.
Everyone looked sideways, and Miao Ba, who was sitting near the door, chirped and asked, "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"
The thin man glanced around the dining hall. , his eyes fell on Bimoye’s table.
"He's looking at you." Susan, who was sitting opposite, peeked at the man while feeding her child.
Bimoyer took a look and thought the man looked familiar, but didn’t take it to heart. After finishing the meal, he left the table with Lukwen and Delma, and found that the man was still standing there, waiting for him. .
"You are..." Bimoye walked up to this man and suddenly recognized who he was: "Adams!"
Although Dark Night Blue Soul has always had a presence in Ten Star City, And it has been many years, but Night Revenant Adams rarely comes here. If he is not on a mission, most of the time he is in the Shuling Principality. This is the first time he has seen Adams since Bimoye, including the Bloody Mercenary Group, moved here to station here. myself.
“Long time no see, Christine, you are more mature than you were a few years ago.”
"You are even more haggard than before. I almost didn't recognize you." Bimoye said: "If you have anything to do, go upstairs and talk."
Upstairs, in Bimoye's room, he used magic to boil a pot Hot water and make tea for Adams.
Adams said: "I want to drink more now. Is there any wine?"
"This is not a pub." Bimoye refused directly, even though there was a drink on the shelf next to him. opened the whiskey and asked straight to the point: "This You shouldn't have come to the Bloody Mercenary Group at that time. Are you here because you are in trouble?"
"You still don't show mercy to others." Adams held his face, his hair was disheveled. He hadn't cleaned himself in two days. He wanted to speak several times but couldn't. Bimoye knew that as the leader of an A-level mercenary group, it was difficult to say some words.
Bimoye said: "I am also interested in those kidnappers. Those who can do such a thing are not ordinary kidnappers."
"I don't know who the kidnappers are."
"You don't know either?"
"No one has seen the kidnappers yet. They sent letters and tokens, and the person is indeed in their hands." Adam Si said: "The Republic said that the redeemers can redeem the people of Dark Night Blue Soul together. The Shuling Principality and we, Dark Night Blue Soul, can pay the ransom."
"Then why are you here? What? With Disman’s strength, you don’t need to worry at all. If they can’t bring people back safely, there’s no point in worrying.”
"But the kidnappers asked for separate redemptions. At the same time, different places."
"Is it to spread the risk by releasing people separately? Or does the kidnapper have ulterior motives?" Bimoye thought.
Adams said: "There will definitely be no trouble in Desman's redemption of people, and they will definitely send powerful experts. It's okay for the gangsters to avoid risks. I'm worried that the purpose will be the latter. Although the kidnappers are seeking money, so It's unlikely, but in this world there are all kinds of people, who have the strength to kill Lingdian Master Huofen and become bandits. I'm worried that there might be some ulterior motives." "That's the case. think That's right."
Adams said: "I, Dark Night Blue Soul, think I have some strength, and Desman is willing to send a few people to redeem people with me, but I still feel a little unsure. . To put it bluntly, no one can escape if the opponent dares to attack the mission. To be honest, my wife, Princess Victoria’s brother, must not fail in their hands.”
"So you want to ask the Bloody Mercenary Group for help?"
Adams said: "It will be very bad for the reputation and morale of Dark Night Blue Soul if this is revealed. We have cooperated in the battle of Yanyang City. I can trust it. Your ability, too I trust your character. You don’t need to send too many people. It’s useless to have more people. If you agree, just pick a few of the most capable people.”
“Yes, I promise you.” I readily agreed.
Adams was slightly surprised: "I asked, if your leader is not here, can you make the decision?"
"When will you leave?"
"At two o'clock this afternoon. Disman will send a few people to go with us."
Bimoye checked the time: "Okay, I will gather people. At two o'clock, I will be on the west avenue outside Shixing City. Waiting for you.”
Many days later, when the Disman officials and Dark Night Blue Soul and others arrived, Blocking San Rafael County, they were still chatting with the county magistrate, county lieutenant, and local prosecutor in front of the county government office when they saw a crudely made puppet staggering over. The guards on both sides immediately stepped forward to control the puppet and prevent it from happening. Someone was assassinating him, but he saw two mailboxes in the puppet's hands. When he opened them, he saw that they were letters from the kidnappers.
Everyone in front of the government gate looked around. The chief priest from Ten Star City said: "Our actions have been monitored by the kidnappers before and after entering the city."
"We can find out who is Who? ”
The roads outside the government building are open in all directions, and people move around a lot. The chief priest shook his head: "Such a simple puppet can be operated several kilometers away with a single control. Let alone a few kilometers, there are so many houses nearby, one kilometer away, it is impossible to find it." "
The demon servant Zana, who was hiding in the corner of the room, saw Disman's people getting the letter and activated a small magic circle in his hand. The simple puppet in the distance immediately spontaneously ignited. Burns very quickly. Although the guards responded quickly and extinguished the fire immediately, the fire was too intense. They probably hid flammable materials inside the puppet. By the time they were rescued, it had turned into pieces of black carbon, even the coverings on it. The iron sheets were melted.
The county lieutenant looked at the remnants on the ground and said: "The other party is very cautious and does not leave us a chance to investigate the puppet maker and his operating methods. However, this simple puppet must be homemade or picked up. The origin of the waste cannot be traced. "
The puppet master's control array usually has strong personal characteristics. In the eyes of professionals, suspects can be identified based on these characteristics.
"What did the letter say?" They did not enter the government building and looked at the letter directly outside the door.
Two letters, one to Disman and one to Dark Night Blue Soul, both asked them to go to the designated place within the designated time to trade the ransom. Since one of the trading locations was in the north and the other in the south, and the time was limited, out of concern for the safety of the countess and Ophard, they had no choice but to rush to the trading location immediately without stopping.
Let’s talk about Disman first. The high priest took the man and the ransom and went straight to a place in the northern part of the San Rafael Plain that the locals called a small grass pit.
