Quadruple split

Chapter 1530 Interlude·33

"..."

As if he didn't hear what the other party said, Mo just turned his body and put his arms on the armrests to support his cheeks. His eyes behind the mask narrowed slightly, and a hint of amusement flashed in the black eyes like the abyss, which was subtle but extremely powerful. Ironic color.

It's too obvious, really too obvious.

Although the existence of information gaps does not make those people...those hiding under the table look too stupid, it is really ridiculous if you only look at this so-called 'trap'.

And the being who controls the world in a certain sense seems to have the same view, so he unabashedly comes out to contact 'Mo Tan' and tries to restore balance to the situation through another equally lame method. .

[Haha, I’m so embarrassed... I’m so embarrassed...]

The corners of Mo's mouth raised slightly, outlining a playful arc, and his shoulders shook in a rare way.

This is understandable, after all, it is indeed a bit hard to endure and not laugh wildly.

"So...you don't plan to participate?"

Already accustomed to the other person's appearance, the cold and beautiful dark elf slowly walked out of the darkness, with her beautiful long silver hair hanging casually on her back. She looked particularly dazzling and out of place in such a dark and depressing environment. .

Mo did not turn around to look at the girl next to him who seemed to be getting used to the atmosphere. He just said lightly: "It makes no sense."

"Eh?"

Although the other party's answers and tone of voice can be described as indifferent in most cases, and there is even a hint of obvious impatience in them, Ji Xiaodao is still a little surprised by the reaction of the person next to him, which is very inappropriate. The example is like suddenly seeing Fat Tiger doing good things.

On the other hand, Mo, who was leaning on the chair, frowned imperceptibly after hearing Ji Xiaodao's "Hey" that was obviously two times louder. However, because he was wearing a mask, he was not noticed by the latter. .

"Ahem, I mean..."

Ji Xiaodao, who had regained his composure, coughed slightly, paused unnaturally for a moment, and then said uncertainly: "The reward in that competition seems pretty good?"

As expected, the gloomy masked man in the chair showed no reaction as if he hadn't heard.

"Well, you don't really seem like someone who would care about that kind of thing."

Only then did Ji Xiaodao, who realized that the opponent really had no reason to participate, shrugged, muttered helplessly, and then said reluctantly: "But even if you don't need the epic-level professional missions, the legendary equipment should be pretty good. Bar?"

Mo glanced at Ji Xiaodao indifferently, but still did not speak. Just when the latter curled his lips in frustration and was about to 'talk about business', the door of the study room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"I'm here, boss."

Jia Wen, who rarely used [Thousand Faces] to change her appearance, walked in briskly. She was wearing a slim-fitting burgundy tuxedo, and her face was very deceptive in Ji Xiaodao's eyes, as elegant and soft as a picture. It was a smile: "Sister Ji Zhong is here too."

Ji Xiaodao glanced at Jiawen with a slight frown. If she guessed correctly, the latter should have been called over by Mo just sent a message.

"wait."

Mo just said something lightly, then closed his eyes and fell into a state of sleep.

"Okay boss~"

Gawen nodded meekly, then took out a well-crafted high-backed chair from her luggage, sat down next to the large desk, reached for a stack of reports next to her, and started reading. The position happened to be facing Ji Xiaodao, who was leaning on the edge of the table.

Then the study fell into a reasonable silence.

One of the three people leaned back in the chair with his eyes closed, one folded his arms and frowned slightly, and the other smiled and looked through the simple reports collected here from various places in the Southwest Continent. Did anyone say a word more.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that the study door was pushed open again. Ji Xiaodao and Jia Wen subconsciously turned their heads and saw that there was no one there.

Then he bowed his head again, Merlin.

For some reason, Ji Xiaodao's brows spread quietly.

"I'm not arrogant, Mr. Mo, can you please stop making the house dark?"

As the saying goes, if a family has an old man, it is like having a treasure. As soon as the eldest baby Merlin entered the house, he immediately gave his sponsor a lesson, and then casually took something out of his sleeves that seemed to hold little. As soon as he rubbed his hands together, the soft and bright light filled the whole room. Not only was it not dazzling, it also felt very natural.

Apart from the lack of temperature, there is no difference from normal natural light.

"Wow~"

Jia Wen cast her eyes admiringly at the old man standing at the door, and said sincerely: "It would be a pity that you don't become a magician, Master Merlin."

"This is science, or the alchemy of this world. It has nothing to do with magic or anything like that."

Merlin said casually, looked around and saw that there was no chair suitable for him, so he just sat down on the carpet in the middle of the study room, looked up at Mo Tan who had opened his eyes at some point, and said quickly: "If something happens, just tell me and don't lie. Boy Mo, do you know how many projects I have in hand now? Sixteen! Sixteen projects! Osiris and Garros only participated in some basic work and they are already tired and vomiting blood!"

Only Mo smiled lightly at the old man, who looked pleasant (compared to others). He did not immediately explain why he called him over, but asked softly: "So Merlin, the problem you encountered is ?”

“I’ve said it a million times!!”

The old man blew his beard and stared at Mo Tan, and said angrily: "Insufficient manpower! Insufficient manpower! Insufficient manpower!!"

Mo nodded slightly, paused for a moment and then continued: "But I should have said before that you can call anyone you like at will."

"Yes, you did."

Merlin tugged at the corner of his mouth and said angrily and with some frustration: "But the problem is that there is no one I like at all. Except for Garros and Osiris who can help a little, everyone else is useless! They are all used as experimental subjects. Stupid waste! And you said you are someone I like, but I am too busy in the workshop every day. Where can I find someone? Who will lead the project if I find someone? Are you going? Huh? !”

Glancing at the old man who was getting more and more angry as he spoke, Ji Xiaodao and Jia Wen exchanged glances subconsciously. They both felt that the old man was worthy of being an old man, and because of his spirit of being able to ignore Mo's oppression and directly curse, they One has to admire it.

"You're joking."

Mo changed his honorific, smiled softly, and said calmly: "There are specialties in the art industry. Even if I am willing to go, you will not trust me to do the professional things. How about this, a few Stop the unimportant research for a while, and just focus on the few key projects at hand before you find a suitable assistant to share the work."

As soon as he heard what Mo said, Merlin's expression suddenly froze. It took him a long time before he finally said, "All projects... are quite important."

Mo shook his head and said slowly: "There is always a priority."

"You kid...well, forget it, let's talk about this later."

It was obvious that he had too many things to study that seriously exceeded the human resources budget. Merlin, who not only detained Osiris and Garros but also complained first, did not continue to bother him, but snorted twice with a stinky face. , dragging the topic back very unhappily: "So why did you ask me to come?"

"You should have read the official announcement..."

Seeing that Mr. Merlin stopped being rude, Mo didn't continue talking about the topic just now. He just asked lightly, and after a pause, he added: "That [inquisition and debate]."

Ji Xiaodao didn't react at all. After all, she had already mentioned this matter when the other party first came online.

Jiawen smiled and winked at her boss playfully: "Of course I have seen it, I think the name of this activity is very interesting, as if...it is specifically to deal with you, the sin lord."

"It's too far-fetched."

Ji Xiaodao shook his head and looked at Jia Wen with a sharp look: "The reason why it is called [Inquisition of Crime] is just because the name of the game is [Innocent Realm], right?"

"I still think the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference is better, haha."

Merlin thought he had made a wisecrack, but no one laughed.

"It's just a joke~"

Gawen shrugged her shoulders, clasped her hands together and made a very cute tilt of her head, but no one thought she was cute, or in other words, no one cared whether she was cute or not.

"Gawen."

Ignoring the exchange between the three of them just now, he turned his attention to Gavin Mo and said slowly: "You died once in Academy City before. Although you left behind the [Thousand Faces], but..."

"Well, the character is gone."

Jiawen didn't let her boss finish, and replied obediently: "Although I have learned the lost profession and found the [Shadow Spear], but in terms of hard power, I am only at the intermediate level. In terms of combat effectiveness, it’s pure garbage.”

Mo nodded noncommittally and said casually: "Pay more attention in the future."

"There won't be a next time..."

Jia Wen replied with a cold tone, then licked the corner of his mouth, and his expression suddenly fell: "Although I really want to say this, after all, nothing is absolute. If a similar failure occurs again, please be noble and don't put it down. I'll fire it off."

"There's a difference between failing and failing."

Mo lazily raised his hand and touched the outer edge of the mask, and there seemed to be a hint of mockery in his tone: "A powerful enemy is never your opponent, only your stupid self is."

"..."

With an expressionless face, Jia Wen subconsciously clenched her hands in her sleeves. After a while, she silently stood up, saluted Mo Tan, and replied in a voice without any emotion: "Keep it in mind."

"I acknowledge your strength, but in many cases, simply being strong in a certain field is not enough, especially in this world. You need to add some more real strength."

Mo ignored Jia Wen's statement and just said to himself: "So this [criminal debate] is an opportunity for you."

"My time is precious and I don't have time to fight with others."

Merlin said this angrily.

"I support the boss's view~"

Sitting back on the chair, Gawen folded her legs gracefully and chuckled, "So what you're saying is, is it right for Sister Ji Prayer to lead the two of us in a dozen group battles?"

Ji Xiaodao was slightly startled when he heard this, then turned to look at Mo, looking a little surprised.

"Silent Prayer will participate in the individual competition alone."

Mo nodded slightly and glanced at Gawen and Meilin: "And you two, if possible, join her in the team battle."

Gawen blinked, and then raised her hand to cover her mouth cheerfully: "Wouldn't this be too troublesome for Sister Ji Prayer? It must be tiring after dragging three people in and out, right?"

“Think about the rules of the game.”

Mo did not answer directly, but gave a faint reminder.

"oh!"

Before Gawen could react, Merlin immediately stood up. His originally uninterested expression suddenly turned enthusiastic: "I thought about it, I thought about it. If you are thinking about 'that thing', I think It should be feasible!”

Upon hearing the words 'that thing', Jia Wen also showed a look of surprise, and then her face suddenly turned subtly pale.

"I have already read the report on [criminal-impregnated bombs]."

Mo casually picked up a stack of reports and experiment logs that were nearly a hundred pieces of parchment, and said calmly: "According to the rules of [Inquisition and Debate], consumables in the game can be used in the competition without restrictions, and according to me As we know, the cost of [criminal impregnating bombs] is very low, and the only difficulty is that there are very few 'adapters' who can meet the requirements for its use."

Merlin nodded immediately and said without thinking: "Yes, the only two successful subjects now are me and Jia Wen, but there is a variable problem. I need some more precise data support. Since Mo Boy, you have read the report between me and Jia Wen, you should know what I am referring to."

"go a head."

Mo Tan nodded slightly and said without hesitation: "I agree."

Hearing this, Ji Xiaodao finally couldn't help but ask: "So what are you referring to..."

"It should be a player."

Gawen shrugged, spread his hands and said: "After all, the death record of NPC subjects so far is 100%, while the only two players who have been subject are me and Master Merlin, and both of them were successful."

"Theoretically, Silent Prayer Girl, you can also withstand the power of the [Sin-soaking Bullet]."

Merlin narrowed his eyes slightly and grinned: "We have one thing in common, my [crime of madness], girl Jiawen's [crime of betrayal], and yours..."

"No."

As a result, at this moment, Mo suddenly interrupted Merlin and shook his head slowly——

"Don't ration [criminal-impregnated bullets] to her."
