Natural enemies

"You mean, the 23rd followed you to the hospital today?" In the study, Sang Lin's face changed slightly just after Tang Jic finished speaking.

"Yes." Tang Ji nodded affirmatively, "Although I didn't see him at the time, my feeling shouldn't be wrong. Moreover, after I discovered his spying position, although he moved, he didn't leave immediately. So I think he should be staring at me all the time, not by chance in the hospital."

Wu Peng patted his thigh: "I should have known, I should go with you today!"

Tang Ji waved his hand: "If you go with me, he may not follow. Besides, places like hospitals are not suitable for arrest. But he followed me, this is our chance."

Wu Peng immediately understood: "You mean, create opportunities, trap?"

Sang Lin frowned: "Are you sure he is following you? It may also be following Gu Yi. Or he may be trying to find Li Tianyi through you - after all, he should be the first one to follow in the bar, right?" ?”

Tang Ji nodded: "Indeed, it's all possible. Therefore, there is a chance to put everyone out and see which bait he wants to bite."

"Everyone put out?" Sang Lin was puzzled, "What chance?"

"Isn't Li Tianyi going to play CS Field Battle?" Tang Ji chuckled, "That's an opportunity. It's more beneficial for us to have no high-rise buildings." The vampires can turn into bats and fly as much as they want. Demon hunters don't have this ability, so Chasing in the city is actually quite detrimental to the witcher.

Wu Peng murmured: "This--No. 23 should also consider this issue, right?" The trap is set, but it's hard to say whether the prey will take the bait, "After all, we don't know why he is eyeing Li Tianyi, maybe he didn't So eager. After all, he is keeping us in the dark, so he should be able to afford more time."

Tang Ji stretched out a finger and shook it: "But number 23 should prefer to fight in the wild."

"How do you know?" Wu Peng was a little surprised.Regarding No. 23, there is not much information about the dangerous sequence, and his personal preferences are not indicated in it.

Tang Ji rubbed his chin: "It's true that the information doesn't say..."

"Then how do you know?" Sang Lin couldn't help but question it.She has a deeper understanding of her partner's ability to fool around than Wu Peng, "This is a sixth generation, don't underestimate the enemy!"

Tang Ji chuckled again: "What... Actually, there are a lot of interesting things in the unclassified files within the trade union. At least three of the files I've seen are likely to be about No. 23. "

There is indeed a column for "unclassified" case files in the files of the Demon Hunters Guild.The so-called "unclassified" is actually equivalent to a general unsolved case, that is, there is no file for the target of the crime.There are even some bits and pieces of information collected by the demon hunters outside, not even a case.Some of them are simply rumors, and it is impossible to tell whether they are true or false.However, this type of files accounts for a large part, and it is difficult to sort them out after years of accumulation. If you want to read or start from the beginning, or pick from the middle by chance, you may not find a valuable file in a few days. information, so there are not many demon hunters who consult them.

"Unclassified file?" Wu Peng's eyes lit up, "You often read that too? How many times have you read it?"

Tang Ji scratched his eyebrows and said modestly: "Not much, not much, I only read about two-thirds of it, and I haven't read all of it yet."

Wu Peng was stunned: "It's already a lot, I only read a quarter, and it's all in English..." Because these files have not been specially sorted out, many of them are directly included in the records of the demon hunter, so what English and French? German and Italian are all available. Wu Peng's foreign language level is limited to being able to understand English materials stutteringly, so it is even more difficult to read.

"You've read a lot." Tang Ji was slightly surprised, "I thought Asia would find it useless..."

Wu Peng shook his head: "Many things may not seem to be needed now, but there is no wasted effort in the world. When you need them one day, at least you know where you have seen them."

Tang Ji laughed: "That's right! A lot of things that seem completely irrelevant may point you in the right direction at some point—"

"Okay, okay." Sang Lin interrupted him, "You guys wait a while to talk about these big truths, let's talk about the business first!"

Tang Ji couldn't stop thinking: "This is the business. As the saying goes, sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood. There is nothing wrong with learning more and watching more."

Sang Lin got a headache from his noise: "Okay, I understand. I'll take care of it when I have time in the future? Please get down to business. Now that there are so many things to do and so few people, please stop talking nonsense."

"You——" Tang Ji shook his head and coughed, "Okay, let's talk about the business first. As I said just now, among the files I have read, I think three are related to No. 23, but it may have been No. 23 was not formally filed, and the author did not know how to classify it, so he threw it in the fragmented materials. If we combine these three materials with the file of No. 23, I think that No. 23 is likely to be Plants have a special affinity."

The word affinity is used to refer to alien powers related to plants that are different from manipulating plant magic.In other words, for No. 23, although he cannot directly manipulate plants, the environment full of plants is more beneficial to his actions.

This ability is a bit mysterious. Compared with the magic that some witches can directly manipulate the growth and even attack of plants, it is a bit difficult to grasp.This affinity may refer to the fact that No. 23 is extremely good at using plants to hide himself, or that the toxins of certain plants do not work on him, or it may even be that when others manipulate the plants to attack him, the plants will show mercy or something.In short, when No. 23 launches an attack in a place such as the woods, there will be a certain power bonus.As for the rationale for this bonus - the abilities of the alien species are all kinds of strange things, and the Demon Hunters Union still can't fully understand it.

"Have an affinity for plants?" Sang Lin was a little puzzled, "Are you sure? But you said fighting in the field—wait!" Trapping in an environment you are good at? Are you kidding?"

Since ancient times, combat has paid attention to the right time, place and people. Even if you can't occupy these points, you must try your best to control the enemy from benefiting.How can there be someone like Tang Ji, who knows that the environment is favorable for others, but still rushes to send him to the door?

Wu Peng's eyes flashed: "Only in this kind of time, No. 23 is most likely to appear."

"That's right!" Tang Ji slapped his thigh, "Heroes see the same thing!"

"This is nonsense!" Sang Lin stood up angrily, "You two are pure nonsense!"

She was like Lianzhu Pao: "This is not a blood family of ten or eight generations, but a blood family of six generations, and it is on a dangerous sequence! If what you said is true, and there are at least three files related to him, then he is in danger. The position in the sequence should go up! Such a dangerous alien, but you want to trap him in his favorite environment? This is pure nonsense! The witcher regulations—”

Tang Ji touched her ear, raised his hand and interrupted her: "Wu Peng already said it just now, only in this way can No. 23 jump into the trap."

"What does he know!" Sang Lin had completely forgotten that Tang Ji had proposed this idea, and fired at Wu Peng again, "How many alien species have the Asian Union captured? A six-generation blood race, have you really seen it? Do you know the ability of the sixth-generation blood race? You don’t know anything, and you dare to propose this method? If you want to die yourself, no one will care about you, don’t drag others!"

Wu Peng looked at Tang Ji silently.He just echoed Tang Ji, why did he propose this method now?

Tang Ji, who diverted the gunfire to the innocent companions, shrugged and stretched out his hand to pull Sang Lin down: "Don't get excited, don't get excited, Wu Peng's method is a bit risky, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that this is the best way .”

Wu Peng had nothing to say about his brazenness, so he could only keep silent and accuse him with his eyes.Reluctantly, Tang Ji turned a blind eye and continued to talk freely: "We don't know his purpose, we don't know where he is hiding, even if he is found to be following, it will be difficult to catch, you say, in this case, can we afford it?" ? Don't forget, we have several things to attend to."

Sanlin stopped talking.Indeed, Binglan, Jason, and the vampire that flies very fast and can use illusion, and has escaped from them twice, are all they have to deal with now.In this case, if there is number 23 behind him, it is really like a light on his back, and he has to keep one eye open when he sleeps.

"Because the suburban environment is suitable for No. 23, he is most likely to appear, and he may underestimate the enemy." Tang Ji knocked on the table, "Even if he doesn't underestimate the enemy, but if we set traps, the environment will be in our favor." It is always better to fight well prepared battles.

Like every mission before, Sang Lin was persuaded, but still wanted to struggle one last time: "I'm still not sure who No. 23 is following. Maybe he wants to find someone named Li through you."

Tang Jiman didn't care: "Anyway, everyone goes, it doesn't matter who he looks for."

"They?" When Sang Lin talked about Li Tianyi, she looked disgusted, "If you tell them that you are going to be a bait..." She dared to guarantee that Li Tianyi would definitely cry and refuse to go, and so did Daniel.

"Who said they were used as bait." Tang Ji smiled slyly, "I am the bait. I think the target of No. 23 is me, and they are just playing."

Sang Lin looked at him speechlessly for a while: "You... violated the law..."

"No." Tang Ji looked innocent, "The union didn't say that demon hunters should not be used as bait. It also didn't ask that the field must be cleared when setting up an ambush." ​​Needless to say the former, the latter is basically impossible, especially It's time for the witcher to go it alone.

Sang Lin had nothing to do with his face.The matter was quickly decided. Wu Peng left first. Tomorrow he had to go to the scene to investigate carefully and find out all the terrain before he could decide how to set up an ambush.

After closing the door, Sanlin looked back at several bedrooms.Li Tianyi and Daniel have already gone to bed, and the light in the master bedroom is still on: "He is quite dedicated. However, if you don't tell them in advance, in case they run around and get injured, you will still be responsible " Tang Ji's approach was actually quite rascal, taking advantage of the loopholes in the regulations of the witcher.If everything goes well, of course it will be fine, but if Li Tianyi and others are injured or even killed, the trade union will definitely hold him accountable.

Tang Ji put away his smile: "Li Tianyi and Daniel must not know the truth, otherwise they will only screw things up."

Sang Lin immediately understood what he meant: "You mean Gu Yi can do it? I think it's a little strange, what's wrong with you these days? Don't tell me that your true love has come to acting. gone?"

"Cough!" Tang Ji touched his nose in embarrassment, "You are an unmarried lady, don't speak so vulgarly. There is nothing wrong with it, and——I'm normal, okay?"

Sang Lin's face softened slightly: "That's good. Then tell me, why do you plan to believe him? Don't forget the video of Liang'an Bridge Commercial Street..."

Tang Ji coughed again: "I went to see his friend who needs to borrow money today."

An idea flashed in Sanglin's mind: "Could it be the one who went to Liang'an Bridge with him?"

"That's right." Tang Ji nodded, "And if I'm not mistaken, he's a hacker."

"So the monitoring was done by him?" Sang Lin frowned, "That doesn't explain anything. Do you think Gu Yi just went with the hacker? But on the other hand, it is also possible that he asked the hacker for help. "

Tang Ji nodded in agreement with her statement: "However, I have made repeated comparisons in the past few days. The magic fluctuation of the spell cast at the bar on the 23rd is basically the same as the trigger magic at Liang'an Bridge that day."

Different magic, of course, must be performed in different ways.But for the same person, even though they are casting different spells, the fluctuations in the magic power released are always similar.It's like a painter depicts different things, but his brushwork or color use always has a certain fixed characteristic, which is called "personal characteristic".

"Are you sure?" Sang Lin raised her eyebrows sharply, "So you're saying that it was No. 23 who attacked you at Liang'an Bridge that day?"

Not everyone has the eyesight to appraise, whether it is appraising paintings or appraising magic.Anyway, Sang Lin herself is not good at this aspect, but Tang Ji is quite talented.

"It's basically certain. The only thing that puzzles me is that the black mist attack at Liang'an Bridge doesn't seem to be in line with No. 23's behavior. He really doesn't look like a alien who will show mercy to demon hunters. However, the magic power fluctuates It’s not wrong, and in this way, one thing can make sense: 23’s appearance in Shanghai should have something to do with Ice Blue. 23, the blood clan who can use illusion, plus Jason, can be used The line of ice blue is strung together. The U9 plan seems to have a follow-up."
