"Don't let it go, I surrender! I surrender!" Seeing that the bone demon had turned into a pile of broken bones, the black fog around him gradually became thinner, Nightmare was completely panicked and hurriedly revealed his body. His knees softened, and he fell to the ground, hugged his head with both hands, and posed without resistance.
"Surrender? Members of the Shadow Council will surrender?"
Nightmare raised his head, and a flattering smile appeared on the face condensed from black mist: "A man who knows the current affairs is a hero! Besides, I am just a worker, why bother to fight for this life for the parliament? It's not worth it, it's really not worth it!"
Lin Yi sneered, ignored its quibbling, turned to look at Reinhardt: "What do you think should you deal with it?"
Reinhardt narrowed his eyes, and lightning condensed into a dazzling ball of light in his hands. The crackling sound of electric current seemed to be verbally sentenced to nightmare: "It is a disaster to keep members of the Shadow Council. It is better to solve it directly, so as to save the night from long dreams."
When Nightmare heard this, she was so scared that she was scattered, and her body condensed by the black fog began to tremble.
It hurriedly shouted, "No, no, no! I am valuable! I am really valuable! I can provide information! I know a lot about the plans of the Shadow Council! I will save my life and it will definitely not be a loss!"
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows, as if he had a slight interest in the words of Nightmare: "Oh? Let's talk about it. If your information is valuable, maybe I can consider spareing your life."
Nightmare nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay! I'll say everything! The Shadow Council has been planning a major operation recently, targeting the Central Station of Zur City. They plan to launch an attack at the ribbon cutting ceremony, use the special location of the station to open a large teleportation array, and introduce more demons into this world."
It paused, as if weighing something, but soon continued: "You should also know that the way we were born was very strange, and even we don't know it very well. However, the Speaker seemed to have cracked our origins. He was ready to quickly increase the number of demons by guiding demons from other worlds into this world and completely break the existing balance."
Nightmare's words were like a cannon, telling everything he knew without any reservation.
However, these words suddenly changed Reinhardt's face.
If, according to Nightmare, the Shadow Council's purpose is much more than just attacking the station and throwing the Zur Empire into chaos.
Their ambitions are far more crazy than they thought.
"Since you know the consequences, why do you still have to help them?"
Nightmare smiled awkwardly, and a hint of helplessness appeared on the black fog condensed face, and a little self-deprecating tone: "I'm forced to do anything! Besides, I'm just an executor, and the real decision-makers are the high-ranking members of the parliament. How can I resist a small role like me?"
The lightning ball in Reinhardt's hand contracted slightly, and the crackling sound of electric current seemed to warn Nightmare not to play tricks.
Seeing this, Nightmare was suddenly panicked: "You...you said you would spare my life! You can't go back on your word!"
"Okay, save it for a lifetime. Tomorrow's hearing is useful. Don't forget that Congressman Bell died in his hands." Lin Yi held Reinhardt's right hand.
Hearing Lin Yi's words, Reinhardt was silent for a moment, then nodded, and the lightning ball in his hand gradually dissipated.
Seeing this scene, Nightmare let out a long breath, leaving the green mountains without worrying about burning firewood.
For a demon like it, it is actually only one of its own.
They are both demons, but the types and essences of each demon are completely different.
This also makes Nightmare have no psychological pressure when selling teammates. Anyway, they are all working hard, so who are you selling your life?
As long as it can survive, it does not mind betraying anyone, even if it is a former companion.
Lin Yi sat on the box, staring at the nightmare bound by the chains of lightning. The long sword in his hand was casually placed on his knees, and there was still a little black mist of nightmare left on the sword edge.
"Tell me, explain everything you know about Shadow Council."
The black mist body of the nightmare trembled slightly, as if he was extremely uneasy at Lin Yi's gaze.
It clearly realized that the human in front of it was definitely not the kind of character who would be easily fooled.
Nightmare swallowed the "slobber" that did not exist, and the voice was filled with a hint of flattery and nervousness: "The goal of the Shadow Council is to subvert the Zur Empire and turn the continent into a paradise for ghosts and demons."
"The leader of the parliament is 'Dark Eclipse', an ancient great demon. His power is very terrifying, able to control the power of darkness and corruption, and even the demon's will can be easily distorted by him. Once a member of the parliament wanted to overthrow its rule and replace it, but... he was brainwashed by him in one move and became a dead soldier without self-awareness."
"Dark Eclipse...what is it weak?"
Nightmare shook his head, and a trace of helplessness appeared on his face condensed by the black mist: "Weakness? How could a small character like me know the weakness of the speaker? But... I heard that he has been looking for something called "The Source of Dark Eclipse", which is said to be a prop that can help him advance. If you can find that thing, it may be a threat to him."
"The source of dark erosion? What is that? Where is it?" Reinhardt recalled and did not find any impression of this item.
Nightmare's body swayed slightly: "I don't know the specific details, but it is said that it can not only greatly enhance the original power of the demon, but also lead the "Immortal Lord" into this world."
"So what about the other members of the Shadow Council? Where are their specific locations?"
"Members of the Council rarely appear. They usually pass instructions through agents and their whereabouts are extremely secretive. However... I know that the Deputy Speaker 'Eye of the Void' has been operating near Zur City recently. He is a high-level ghost who can control space and illusions. His whereabouts are mysterious and difficult to find him."
"Eye of Void... It seems we have to find him first."
Nightmare quickly added: "Also, the members of the Shadow Council are responsible for different tasks. 'Blood Devour' is good at devouring souls and flesh, and can obtain intelligence by absorbing human memories; 'Shadow Song', once a human awakener, but now he has become a ghost, with the ability to control shadows; 'Soul Slitting', he is good at spiritual attacks and can directly destroy the enemy's will."
Lin Yi's eyes were filled with a hint of scrutiny, and he fell on Nightmare.
You should know that although these information has been mentioned in the Paradise of Reincarnation, it is not so detailed.
The narrative of Nightmare not only confirms the known information, but also provides more details, which means that Nightmare really wants to surrender.
"The strong prey on the weak, the strong take all... It's very consistent with your demonic style. However, if you betray your companions so hard, aren't you afraid that they will tear you first?"
The black fog body of the nightmare swayed slightly, with a hint of disdain and resentment in its voice: "Comrade? Humph, those guys are just tools driven by the council like me. They have never regarded me as a 'companion', especially the idiot who split the soul, tortured me with mental attacks all day long, wishing that I could die in the mission to devour my origin. I had had enough!"
Reinhardt glanced at Nightmare: "It seems that the 'unity' among your demons is nothing more than that. So, are you planning to borrow our hands and get rid of your 'companions'?"
A flattering smile appeared on the face of the nightmare's black fog: "Hehe, don't you humans say that 'the enemy's enemies are friends'? I'm standing on the same boat as you now, and helping you is also helping me."
It seemed that I realized that my current situation was not very good, and the nightmare voice was filled with a hint of eagerness: "I can help you find the Eye of Void! I know his recent range of activities in Zur City, and I also know his weaknesses! As long as you promise to save my life, I can help you deal with him!"
Lin Yi and Reinhardt looked at each other, and a trace of thought flashed in their eyes.
Nightmare's intelligence is indeed valuable, but its cunning and untrustworthy also makes people beware of it.
After a moment, Lin Yi nodded and his eyes fell on Nightmare again: "Okay, we can cooperate temporarily. But if you dare to play any tricks, I will make you feel more uncomfortable than death."
The black mist body of the nightmare trembled slightly and nodded quickly: "Don't worry, I will never play tricks! I really want to cooperate with you!"
After saying this, Reinhardt and Lin Yi made a mark on Nightmare's body at the same time.
The purpose of this mark is to prevent nightmare betrayal. Once nightmare betrayal, the two of them can control their strength to destroy the core of nightmare at any time.
"At 8 o'clock in the morning, come with me. There is something you need to attend to testify." Lin Yi stretched and glanced at the time on his wrist, and found that it was already two o'clock in the morning.
Although after becoming a fifth-level contractor, resting is no longer a necessity for Lin Yi, his habits as humans are still affecting him.
At this moment, Lin Yi couldn't help but yawn, and his eyelids were a little heavy.
"You two should rest for a while first. There are still a lot of troubles in the morning. You don't have enough energy." Bonnie glanced at Lin Yi who was yawning and signaled him to go to the car to sleep for a while before talking. Lin Yi did not refuse, nodded, turned around and walked towards the jeep outside the factory.
The night breeze was slightly cool and blew on his face, making him feel a little more awake.
However, the moment he reached out to open the car door, a strange feeling suddenly came - he felt someone was monitoring him.
Lin Yi paused slightly and his fingers tightened on the door handle.
Instead of looking back immediately, he pretended to be nothing, slowly opened the car door, but his body had already entered a state of high alert.
"The distance is about 2 kilometers at 9 o'clock."
As he finished speaking, more than a dozen awakened people around him rushed out like cheetahs in an instant and galloped towards the direction Lin Yi pointed.
More than ten seconds later, an explosion came from a distance, and then the sound of a sniper rifle was heard.
Not long after, a familiar figure was taken to Lin Yi.
Her hands were tied behind her back, and her body was covered with dust and blood. She obviously suffered a lot in the confrontation just now.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
The person who was brought over was nothing but Winnie of the brigade.
Winnie wanted to get up, but this action touched the wound on her body, which made her grin and grin: "Don't be so nervous, I'm just passing by."
"Passing by?" Lin Yi sneered, with a hint of danger in his eyes, "At this time, this place, do you tell me you are passing by?"
Winnie sighed helplessly, knowing that she couldn't fool her, so she had to honestly explain: "Okay, I admit that I heard that the Shadow Council has taken action in Zur City, so I came here to see if I could get some benefits. Who knew that I saw you just arrived here and wanted to say hello, but your people rushed over."
Lin Yi's eyes were still suspicious, but his tone eased a little: "The actions of the Shadow Council? What else do you know?"
Winnie shook her head, with a hint of helplessness on her face: "I don't know much, but I heard that they are planning a big operation recently, and the target seems to be an important facility in Zul City. I don't know the specific details, after all, I have no cooperation with the Shadow Council. However, their people came to me some time ago and hoped to hire me to assassinate Harold. I am not a fool, so I refused on the spot."
After a while, Lin Yi waved his hand and signaled the awakened man to escort Winnie to let her go: "Okay, let you go this time. However, I advise you not to get involved. This time you can't interfere."
Winnie rubbed her twisted arm, with a hint of dissatisfaction on her face, and a little provocative tone: "You said it as if I was weak. After all, I am a member of the brigade. Don't you look down on me so much, right?"
She paused, and glanced at the silent subordinates behind Lin Yi, "By the way, why are you here?"
"What do you think?"
Winnie's little head was spinning rapidly, and she instantly realized that Lin Yi's identity in this world was not simple.
She lowered her voice and asked tentatively, "You can't be the top management of a nursing home, right?"
Through this period, Winnie also knew what the status of the nursing home in the empire. It can be said that among the five major violent institutions of the Zur Empire, the nursing home is also half a level higher than other violent institutions.
Lin Yi did not answer, but Winnie had already got the answer from his expression.
She was secretly happy, but her face pretended to be nothing: "Hehe, are you short of people there? Didn't you say you would help you work as a world of work? Or what about this time?"
"Why, are the members of the brigade so proactive now?"
Winnie smiled and waved her hand indifferently: "It's time and time! Besides, following you is worse than fighting alone. Moreover, I heard that the plan of the Shadow Council is very dangerous, and it's too dangerous to act alone. It's better for us to cooperate and win-win!"
"And you know my sniping ability, and you can definitely help!"
Lin Yi was silent for a moment, nodded, and agreed to Winnie's joining.
The main reason is that Winni's sniping ability is indeed strong, and even Lin Yi cannot ignore Winni's attack.
It can be said that Winnie is also a guy who takes the extreme route. The lethality of the sniper cannon in the fifth level can be said to be strong.
But at the cost, Winnie's melee ability is almost zero, and once she is approached by the enemy, she has almost no power to fight back.
"What do you mean now?" Winnie moved her muscles and bones, then took off the sniper rifle from behind and began to maintain the parts.
"Stay first. I have other things to do in the morning. I will deal with other troubles after I'm done." After Lin Yi said that, he walked straight towards a jeep, opened the door and lay in.
Near the vehicle, five or six awakened people from the nursing home are guarding.
At 7:50 in the morning, the second floor of the Parliament Palace, inside the Arbitration Hall.
The function of this arbitration chamber is very single, not used to judge vicious people, but to judge officials, or to rule the upper-level officials of the empire.
The arbitration hall, which had not been used for a month, was still neat, the thick curtains were tightened, the crystal lamp in the center of the ceiling was lit, and a well-dressed official whispered to each other, and the arbitration had not yet begun.
In the Arbitration Hall, a well-dressed official was whispering in a low voice, and the arbitration had not officially begun.
At the innermost side of the Arbitration Hall is a tall judge's desk with several documents on it. There is no one behind the table, and a pattern of crossing two swords is engraved on the back of the chair, symbolizing justice and power.
There was an open space in front of the judge's desk, and the smooth marble floor was spotless.
In the center of the arbitration hall, there is a special wooden chair, surrounded by iron railings, which is particularly eye-catching.
This is the "special seat" of the rulings, and no one wants to sit here because it means they will face the most severe trial.
The ‘special seat’ is opposite to the judge’s table, and on the left and right sides of the special seat, close to the wall, there are two rows of wooden tables each. At this time, the wooden table is full of people. Most of the people sitting here are quite old. Conservatively estimated that the average age is over 50 years old. They look serious, while some of them keep their eyes closed and take a nap.
Behind the "special seat", there are several rows of seats, which are almost full of people. Reinhart was sitting in the first row, while Bonnie and Winnie were sitting in the third row.
The remaining members are all members of parliament. Except for the monarch, they gather together and become the supreme rulers of the empire - provided that they dare to gather together.
The door next to the judge's desk was pushed open, and everyone in the room stood up, pressed their right hand against their chests, and bowed their heads to salute.
Monarch Harold was unhappy in his pace, and he walked to the judge's table and sat down, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.
"Sit all."
As soon as Harold finished speaking, the parliamentarians and the audience sat down one after another. The members looked quite natural, while most of the audience were a little nervous. Harold just sat there, putting a lot of pressure on them.
"Cough."
Harold cleared his throat, and the whispers in the Arbitration Hall disappeared, and then he slowly spoke: "This arbitration is related to the safety and order of the empire. I hope you can treat it with a fair attitude."
There are three important figures in the arbitration today, namely Monarch Harold, Deputy Director of the Sanatorium, and Reinhardt, Chief of the Execution Organs. (This chapter ends)
