Why am I a villain and still have my own jokes?

Ling Yao really wanted to see Xin Ran, so he acted first and caught Xin Ran by surprise.

He even filed an application report for this, but it was not approved.

But the premise of this "meeting" is that he can quietly spy on Xin Ran's secrets, and Xin Ran still doesn't know that he is the "Ling Yao" of Mangsheng Great World.

And Xin Ran's phone call shows that the situation has suddenly reversed!

Although in Ling Yao's timeline, the last time the two met in Mangsheng Great World was obviously more than 30 years ago.But perhaps in the eyes of Xin Ran, who came to this world earlier, only 30 years have passed, and this is also possible!

Obviously, Xin Ran had discovered him, guessed who he was, and even took the initiative to reveal his identity.

Therefore, this side may meet sooner or later, but it is absolutely impossible for Ling Yao to accept Xin Ran's invitation at this moment without preparation.

This is [-]% a trap.

Either to catch the turtle in the urn, or to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

"Perhaps I shouldn't be so unfamiliar, but we rarely meet. The last time we met was 18 years ago, when you picked me up from the orphanage.

"Maybe your diary is bad, but that's not important.

"After 18 years, you suddenly contacted me and wanted to meet me. You couldn't just ask me for a few words, right?"

Knowing that Xin Ran probably already guessed that he still retains the memory of his previous life, but it is impossible for Ling Yao to blew himself up like the other party.

He still has a hidden hole card, and now is not the time to reveal it.

Even if Xin Ran had figured out his identity from the moment he came to this world and adopted him, and then deduced his full current strength through the systematic "plot arrangement", and even the informant was lurking in Fengcheng to keep an eye on him all the time. According to his own whereabouts, through the investigation of the Special Intelligence Bureau, he deduced his cooperation with the Special Intelligence Bureau, and even had an inner ghost in the Special Intelligence Bureau to provide him with information...

——These are bad, but as long as there are no traitors in the top-secret project of popularization of cultivation, Xin Ran will never guess how closely he is connected with the Secret Service, and how much information and resources the Secret Service is willing to provide to deal with him support.

The moment he heard Xin Ran's voice, he had already beckoned for the bodyguard who had been waiting by his side, gesturing for a pen and paper.At this time, while he said this slowly, he quickly wrote on the paper:

[Xin Ran's phone call.He wants to meet.Find Zhang Yongxin]

Zhang Yongxin is the direct person in charge of the investigation of Xin Ran by the intelligence department of the headquarters. Before he came to the capital, he had dealt with Ling Yao a lot.

Maybe this is the sympathy between two smart people.

In this sudden situation, Zhang Yongxin's intervention is indispensable.

Ling Yao tore off this page, and while the bodyguard was out on the phone, he wrote on the next page:

[may go out, my equipment]

Then there are many blank lines, and write:

【Trajectories of Lin Tianyu and Li Jiaheng】

These are all written for Zhang Yongxin who will arrive later.

Although it may take a lot of effort to explain why Xin Ran's actions are related to Lin Tianyu and Li Jiaheng afterwards, but right now he has to act in advance to have a chance to guess what Xin Ran wants to do.

"You sound a little nervous. There's no need. This time is different from last time. Last time you disrupted the plan and I had to do it. But this time is different. Everything is going well. Even if it is for myself, I will not will hurt you."

Xin Ran downplayed the past, but Ling Yao was more vigilant than angry.

all the best?If everything goes well, there is no need for Xin Ran to make such a phone call, why not sit back and enjoy the success?

What does Xin Ran want to use himself for?

In just a short while, Zhang Yongxin, who was having a meeting next door, rushed over with a small team of intelligence agents.

Laptops, locators, antennas, various connecting wires, and construction vehicles—everyone has all kinds of equipment in their hands, and they start to assemble them immediately after entering the room. This posture seems to check Xin Ran to the bottom at once .

Ling Yao is also familiar with their working methods.After handing over the handwritten note just now to Zhang Yongxin, he quickly turned on the hands-free, and put the phone in the reverberation box that simulated the external environment.

Da da da--

beep beep-

Outside the box, there is the sound of rapid keyboard tapping, as well as the beeps of various instruments flashing, as well as short passwords.

The subtle sounds from the reverberation box cover up everything outside: there are the voices of people talking about trivial matters in the distance, the footsteps of waiters walking around, the rustling of pages turning, the crispness of cups being rubbed, and the sound of coffee. Machine-polished transliteration.

It was as if Ling Yao was really in an ordinary coffee shop, not in the separate lounge of the Secret Service.

Zhang Yongxin read the note, did not ask Ling Yao the reason, but waved his hand to explain Ling Yao's request.

At this moment, every second is racing against time, and there is no room for hesitation.

He wrote a new note and handed it to Ling Yao:

【Positioning, 3min】

The sudden appearance of Xin Ran at this time is also not a good sign for the Secret Service.This means that Xin Ran may have discovered the layout of the Secret Service, and may disappear at any time, or even counterattack secretly.

At this moment, I can't take care of the whole criminal chain, and it is more important to catch Xin Ran, the key person first.

But it takes enough time to locate the other party by phone.

3 minutes is not too long.However, with the relationship between "Nan Botu" and Xin Ran, if there is not enough conflict and confrontation between words, it is undoubtedly to actively expose their need Time to locate Xin Ran's situation.

Ling Yao also knew this, so he no longer slowed down his speech:

"I know what you have done, and it is impossible for me to be moved by your few words and change my opinion of you easily.

"If you want to meet, let's change the reason. You are busy, and I am too, so I won't spend time on boring games. What tricks do you have? Threats? Or lures?

"Or, if you want to surrender, you can meet with me."

After hearing this, the technician next to him immediately blew his beard and stared at Ling Yao, as if he was silently questioning why Ling Yao exposed the secret investigation of the other party's crime.

Zhang Yongxin shook his head at the man.Rather than saying that Ling Yao was exposed, it is better to say that Xin Ran had already noticed it.

Sure enough, the voice on the other end of the phone said:

"It seems that you have found a lot of things. But I know that your anger lies in what I did to you more than what I did to those children. It's just that you chose to use this method to indirectly Come back with revenge.

"But you are just useless. Is the so-called law of this world enough to punish me? Can it punish me? No. Of course not. In this world, let alone me, even those who are clearly guilty and have blood on their hands People can get away with it. This is the weak law of this world.

"You know this better than anyone else, but you are actively bound by the laws of this world. What a ridiculous thing. After so many years, you have become cowardly instead."

"In your opinion, I should accept the invitation, meet you, and then find a chance to stab you to death. Is this the best choice?"

Ling Yao seemed a little annoyed, with a slight sarcasm in his tone,

"If that's the case, do you still dare to ask me to meet?"

But he was extremely clear in his heart: Xin Ran would not talk about such things for no reason.If he wasn't trying to trick himself into agreeing to a meeting, it was just delaying time.

Why did Xin Ran delay his time?He couldn't have guessed that he was now with the intelligence service that was about to arrest him.What's worth delaying for a mere "Nan Botu"?

Facing the eyes of others who didn't know what was going on, but thought carefully and fearfully, Ling Yao quickly changed into the equipment for going out.

This is [Ling Yao]'s special clothes when he goes out on missions. It is not only convenient for limbs to move around, but also full of pockets and card slots for storing small equipment.More importantly, there is also a belt for carrying a sword and hanging a gun.

That's right, since he realized the benefits of gun abuse and sneaking, this thing has been promoted to his second must-have.

Don't tell him that swordsman Kenshin and only swords are usable, don't say that he is a pragmatist, this thing is no different from Feijian and Jianwan, and it doesn't violate his heart of sword cultivation at all!

At this moment, Xin Ran's voice also came out leisurely:

"Why don't you dare? Even if you have such courage, you may not have such ability."

Associating the "murder and arson" with "courage", it can be said that Xin Ran's words reveal the atmosphere of "I am a big villain, what can you do to me".

Even if Ling Yao called himself a "villain" in daily jokes, he couldn't help feeling contemptuous.

This is how system holders treat them.Playing in the world, naturally, people will not be treated as human beings.Anyway, when things are done, they can always pat their butts and leave easily.

Unlike Ling Yao, no matter whether the so-called "task" is over or not, he has to continue to live in this world.

"Speaking so much nonsense, you are not delaying time, are you?"

Ling Yao suddenly raised his voice, as if he was so angry that he lost his mind - if you didn't see his calm expression, at least it sounded like this,

"Okay, it's very good. Then you can try it. Since you sent it up on your own initiative, how could I not accept it? It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Today, now, where? I can leave immediately.

"I don't believe that the sword is on your neck. What else can you use to threaten me and advance your so-called plan."

Ling Yao didn't really want to meet the other party, but because he believed that Xin Ran's repeated delay at the moment had already proved that the other party was definitely not sincere in asking him to meet.That being the case, no matter whether he goes in the end or not, at least he must not show weakness in words.

The brief silence on the phone showed that Ling Yao's anti-client attitude had dispelled Xin Ran's doubts about them to the greatest extent, and even disrupted the rhythm of Xin Ran's speech.

But at this moment, the initiative is still in Xin Ran's hands:

"Okay, this is a bit interesting. You are more decisive than I imagined. In this case, I will not lag behind. I will give you three choices. First, the top floor of Block B of Jinmao Tower; second, Green Letter First Floor, Unit 396, No. 42 Main Street; Third, Chenxiang Tea House, No. 73 Xinyuan Road.

"I'll wait for you at one of the places, and it's 60 minutes from the time I hang up the phone."

"Are you kidding me? It takes more than half an hour to go to any place here, and there is an hour and a half difference between Jinmao Tower and Xinyuan Road!"

Ling Yao's interruption was also the voice of everyone present.Moreover, the hour and a half that Ling Yao said was based on the fact that it was midnight and the duty cars of the Secret Service were allowed to speed and run red lights.

Some people even began to suspect that the purpose of Xin Ran's call was a kind of teasing.

"No, no, don't worry. I'm not teasing you. On the contrary, I'm showing my sincerity to the greatest extent."

Having said that, Xin Ran's tone couldn't help but have a hint of lighthearted playfulness,

"If I give you an address casually, you will only feel that I am fooling you, or even give you a fake address on purpose, so that I can transfer it secretly.

"But now, I've given you three options. That is to say, at least two of them are baits for delaying time, right? If I want these two baits to play the most important role, I must throw out baits of corresponding value." clue."

Ling Yao snorted coldly:

"It could be three decoys, too."

Xin Ran did not refute, but continued:

"Believe me, no matter which place you choose to go on an appointment, you will meet surprising 'old friends'. In addition, a warm reminder, the 'protagonist' Lin Tianyu's current activity area happens to be in Xizhao, which is Jinmao Tower and Luxin Street Between these two locations. Maybe the surprises in these two locations will be bigger?"

Ling Yao cursed this crazy old thing in his heart, but his eyes wandered to Zhang Yongxin.Now he didn't have to bother to explain why he was looking for Lin Tianyu's whereabouts.

But Zhang Yongxin looked dignified and nodded slightly to him, confirming that Lin Tianyu is indeed in Xizhao District now.But it was inconvenient for that kid to tell Ling Yao briefly what he was doing.

Facing Ling Yao's silence on the phone, Xin Ran seemed to have acquiesced that the other party had accepted this "game":

"Of course, I also welcome people from the Secret Service to join in. Although this is not very helpful to catch me, the more people play the game, the more interesting it is, right? The most important thing is to participate. What if these places , Pong~

"Anyway, good luck, kid."

Before Xin Ran hung up the phone, Ling Yao reached out and pressed the red microphone button.And the moment the phone was disconnected, Zhang Yongxin also roared angrily:

"Contact the explosion-proof team immediately!!!"

"It's best to find one or two duty teams. Even if Xin Ran is not a cultivator himself, since he mentioned Lin Tianyu, there must be incidents with cultivators in these places."

Ling Yao added.

Zhang Yongxin shook his head:

"You don't need to contact us, just notify the three teams that are watching Lin Tianyu directly."

Ling Yao's eyelids trembled:

"What trouble did Lin Tianyu go out to cause again?" Three teams were required to keep an eye on him alone.

"Black, gang, fire, fight!" Zhang Yongxin replied through gritted teeth.

Seeing Ling Yao's expression of "This is the capital, you told me that gang fights are outrageous", he was even more annoyed:

"There's no way it's that simple! It's a gangster, but it's not just people under the name of the family who are fighting! Even if there is no Lin Tianyu Special Intelligence Bureau, we have to keep an eye on them. These people have no taboos, we always have to worry about ordinary people casualties!"

Ling Yao really didn't bother to ask what kind of role Lin Tianyu played in it, he was either a "dark horse" who got involved innocently, or an unpopular "hero".He just felt a little emotional in his heart. He didn't expect that even the capital is so turbulent now, and things like fighting have been defeated on the bright side.

"Where's Li Jiaheng? Have you found it?"

"No. Although we don't know why we were looking for him, we haven't checked this person before. Now we can only confirm that he should have joined the melee, but where and what he is doing is not so fast."

Zhang Yongxin brought a laptop, placed it in front of Ling Yao, pointed at the map and said:

"As you said, it is impossible to run all the three places provided by Xin Ran in one hour. But there is still a chance to run two. Especially Jinmao and Lvxin, the distance is within 10 minutes. From It takes only 10 minutes to drive to Jinmao from here. I have already asked them to prepare the car, and I can start immediately after going downstairs."

After a little silence, Ling Yao objected:

"...Xin Ran can't be kind enough to give us the idea of ​​the correct answer. And the 10 minutes you mentioned is under normal circumstances. It's a scuffle right now, and no one can say how big it will be. What if the car on the road is affected and breaks down directly?

"What's more, if there are really bombs in these places, then the priority of catching Xin Ran will be in the back row. The place with the most people must be kept first."

Ling Yao pointed at Chenxiang Tea House with a finger,

"Jinmao is an office building, and everyone is off work now. The area of ​​Luxin Street is being demolished, and there are relatively few residents, so they can be evacuated directly. However, although there are not many high-rise buildings in the area of ​​Xinyuan Road, there is a night market next to it. There are also residential areas where the flow of people is relatively large.”

"You're right, but it takes four to ten minutes to get to Xinyuan, and six to ten minutes to get to the closer Green Letter from Xinyuan. What about the time spent in the middle of the investigation?"

Ling Yao touched his chin and had some vague guesses, but he said:

"Actually, if I let myself run... I can run faster than the car. Including the search time, about an hour is just right?"

Zhang Yongxin looked at him with an expression of "what kind of freak are you", but after the shock, he also changed his face instantly:

"You mean, the hour Xin Ran set may have already reached the limit of your ability, and you can go to two places at most? But what's the point?"

"It's not a question of how many places to go at most"

Ling Yao touched the hilt of the sword with his hand, with a hint of coldness in his tone,

"It's that if I want to go as far as I can, I have to do it alone, out of your sight. Can you see what I mean?"

"...He has come to this situation, why is he still thinking about this kind of thing? It's unreasonable."

"It means that he hasn't been forced to the point you imagined."

Ling Yao thought, you would never have guessed that what the dead old man wants to accomplish most is his "villain mission", and the others are secondary. Anyway, he can use the system to escape at any time in the end.

It is of course unreasonable to use indigenous thinking to understand the minds of system holders.

He has devoted himself to cultivating in the Secret Service for so long, and Xin Ran may be anxious looking at the task progress bar.

Since Li Jiaheng felt that he sneaked into the Secret Service to be an insider, Xin Ran of course wanted to use this identity to stigmatize him "naturally".

But he had to.It wasn't his style to cringe at the possibility of damaging his own reputation when a matter of human life was at stake.

It's not that there is no way to crack it, as long as the plan is used...

"Go to Xinyuan first. I'll go with you in the car. Evacuation of the crowd is inseparable from manpower. If I arrive too early, I will only startle the enemy. I also happen to save my energy. Other places..."

Zhang Yongxin didn't ask any more questions, but while listening to Ling Yao's train of thought, he quickly led people to the prepared vehicle.

At this time Ling Yao had finished explaining, Zhang Yongxin nodded:

"There is no better way, you know him better, trust you once. I will bring the others and arrive later."

When the car carrying Ling Yao disappeared from sight, Zhang Yongxin turned his head and walked towards the first car of Team A on duty, opened the door, and shouted to the driver:

"Follow me to Luxin Street."

The driver of the car was the vice-captain of Team A, and he was taken aback when he heard the order.And the captain of team A who was sitting in the co-pilot also turned around:

"I just said Xinyuan."

"The plan has changed. There are explosion-proof and other teams in Xinyuan, that's enough. We have other tasks. Let's talk about it on the way."

"...OK. Let's go!"
