Byron's Blade

Perhaps Lanny had guessed Dubo's identity a long time ago, so after a brief surprise, she accepted Dubo Scott's new identity as a matter of course.And Mu Li, on the contrary, is not as surprised as Lan Ni. In her opinion, all the people and things surrounding her have been arranged by General Friesman so far, so the appearance of Dubo Scott is reasonable. , nothing surprising.

The only thing that surprised her was that Lanny didn't know Dubo Scott's identity.She thought it was Friesman's arrangement that Lan Ni took her to find Sister Du Bo.Now it seems that it was Lanny's own actions.

Du Bo got out of the car and greeted them at the front of the car.Since Qiu Zheng and the others walked in front, she took the lead to shake hands with Qiu Zheng and the others.The leader Qiu Zheng greeted:

"Counselor Du Bo, why don't you come and pick us up in person?"

"My own request to the leader is mainly that you have someone I really want to see here, and I can't wait for a moment." Du Bo said with a smile.When she said this, her eyes fell on Mu Li and Lan Ni.

Lanny's eyes met hers, she shrugged helplessly, and smiled:

"Teacher, you have deceived me so hard."

"Sorry, little Lanny. But...you know, it's all for that damn mission." Dubo replied.

Saying that, the master and apprentice gave a long-lost reunion hug.Du Bo's tall and fat body is more than twice as big as Lan Ni's. Mu Li was worried that Du Bo would strangle Lan Ni's slender waist in this hug.

"How are you doing after Ares?" Lanny asked.

"I'm fine. I'm just worried about you. I'll keep an eye on your developments. When I knew you were coming, I couldn't wait to come over." Du Bo said.

After exchanging pleasantries with Lan Ni, Du Bo looked at Mu Li again.Maybe it was because he couldn't find anything to say for a while, so Du Bo stared at Mu Li for a long time before choking out a sentence:

"The hairstyle is cool."

"Thank you." Mu Li pursed his lips and smiled, and replied calmly.

Du Bo looked at Mu Li, seeing her completely changed temperament, he couldn't help but sighed softly and said:

"troubled you."

Mu Li just shook his head and didn't speak.

Du Bo didn't talk to Mu Li anymore, he clapped his hands and called everyone to get in the car.After everyone got into the car and sat down, Du Bo drove the car himself and drove away from the factory area.

On the way, Lanny asked:

"So teacher, is Xinghuo also a branch of Assassin?"

"It wasn't two months ago, but it is indeed now. Xinghuo was hit hard. Although it was expected, there were not many members left, so it was merged into Assassin. The hermit and I were sent by your father The person who organizes civil forces. It’s just that the Hermit is different from me, her qualifications are longer than mine, and her ability is stronger than mine, so her Assassin is a powerful armed force, while my Xinghuo is just a group of rabble.” Du While driving, Bo laughed wryly at himself.

"Counselor Du Bo is too modest, but the direction of assignment is different. Your task is to gather Li Byron who is in a state of disunity and create an organization that belongs to Li Byron. And Assassin's internal members have complicated identities. Byron." Unexpectedly, Qiu Zheng, who was always cold and proud of his organization, suddenly said such words.

"Is the mutiny in your faction ten years ago true or false?" Lanny asked with a frown.

"It's true, my camp has indeed rebelled, otherwise I won't be able to fool the church." Du Bo replied.

"Teacher, you know what I want to know." Lan Ni said.

"Well, my camp rebellion was not induced by your father. I was betrayed and oppressed by the military system during that time, and my thinking changed a lot. I rebelled on my own. But your father discovered it earlier and discussed it with me. After making plans for the future, he announced the news of my rebellion. Don't worry, I did all this voluntarily, and no one forced me. Lanny, you have to learn to understand your father, he is not evil." Du Bo glanced at Lanny in the rearview mirror and said.

Lanny didn't answer.

"Sit back and watch the massacre of the Ares traitors, and watch the team you worked so hard to build be torn to pieces. Those members of Starfire, the poor people in the slums, you are very familiar with, and their smiles are still vaguely before your eyes. But now I can't come back."

She paused, and continued: "These days, I can't sleep well at night, and I keep having nightmares, dreaming of the execution on the wall, dreaming of Mary and Rui Qiao's death. So many people , died for me, just because I was the center of his so-called big plan. Even so, do you think he is not heinous?" Mu Li suddenly said coldly.

Du Bo's throat choked up, he squeezed the steering wheel tightly, and his eye circles slowly turned red.For a moment, the carriage fell into silence.

"So, it seems that you are the most pitiful person in the world, and everyone feels sorry for you, right?" Qiu Zheng choked suddenly.

Mu Li looked at Qiu Zheng with her dark eyes, and after two seconds of silence, she said coldly:

"You'd better not forgive me."

Qiu Zheng smiled, reached out and grabbed Mu Li by the collar, pulled her to his eyes, glared at her and said:

"Cowardly guy, I see you have been upset for a long time."

"Hey! You all stop!" Lan Ni got angry, grabbed Qiu Zheng's arm, and said angrily, "What are you doing? Infighting?"

"Boss..." Joan also reached out to grab Qiu Zheng and shook her head.Lin Zhao looked on coldly, but Zoe, who talked a lot, looked out of the car window, as if she was out of it.

Qiu Zheng pushed Mu Li back. Mu Li slammed into the back of the car seat, and then raised his hand to fight back. At this moment, Du Bo suddenly slammed on the brakes, and everyone rushed forward due to inertia. Inner suddenly staggered.I only heard Du Bo say angrily:

"Whoever makes trouble get out of the car immediately!"

Everyone was silent, suppressed their anger and stopped fighting, and sat down slowly.

"A Zheng, I will report this matter to your teacher." After Du Bo finished speaking, he continued to start the car and drive forward.

Chou Zheng clenched his fists angrily, making crackling noises, and his blue eyes were burning with flames.

The rest of the drive was silent all the way, and the atmosphere was condensed to the extreme.Everyone's mind is not on the place to go, everyone is sullen, with various emotions and thoughts in their hearts.

The car gradually drove into the southern business district of Chu City, and soon stopped in the parking lot behind an express hotel.This express hotel occupies more than half of the ten-story commercial building, and its scale is quite large.Everyone came to the front lobby from the back door of the hotel. The first hotel receptionist was a sweet-looking little girl. As soon as she saw them, she immediately walked out of the front desk and handed out the room cards that had been prepared earlier.

"One room per person, let's put our luggage first. This hotel is our current headquarters. Most of the main cadres live here. You will also live here until we move to the next stronghold. Lan Ni, Mu Li, put your luggage and go to the meeting room on the second floor, the leader is waiting for you." After speaking, Du Bo went directly into the main control room behind the front desk, as if he didn't intend to greet them any more.

Lan Ni and Mu Li responded to Du Bo's words, looked at the room card, one was 508, the other was 510, and they were leaning on each other.Mu Li took the lead to press the elevator to go upstairs, and Qiu Zheng and the others directly carried their luggage and equipment and walked up the stairs, obviously unwilling to stay in the same space with Mu Li.Mu Li stood in front of the elevator with a straight face, until Lan Ni suddenly took the room card from her hand.

Mu Li looked at her suspiciously.

"Relax, I know you are very upset now, but it's only me and you now, do you want to show me?"

Mu Li calmed down, and there was a lot of tenderness and guilt in his eyes:

"Sorry...I'm just...uh..."

"Okay, I don't know you yet? I hate these people, they lick their blood every day, they have a strong personality, and they go straight. Most of them are people from the chaotic good and chaotic neutral camps, and their concepts are also very different from yours. There are contradictions It's normal, after you get used to it, you can get used to their style."

Mu Li laughed at himself and said, "Is it because I have seven camps?"

Lan Ni didn't answer her words, but took her arm, shook Mu Li's room card in her hand, and said with a smile:

"I will confiscate your room card."

"Then where do I live?" Mu Li asked in a daze.

"Stupid." Lanny bit her lip and scolded.

Mu Li suddenly reacted, his ears turned red instantly, and said in a panic:

"This...isn't it good..."

"What's wrong? You don't want to live with me?" Lanny raised her eyebrows and asked.

"No..." Mu Li subconsciously denied.

"Oh, that's why I really want to live with me, A Li, I didn't expect you..." Lan Ni looked at Mu Li in disbelief.

Mu Li: "..."

Seeing her speechless and embarrassed appearance, Lan Ni couldn't help but smile, her brows and eyes crooked, and said:

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, silly..." He raised his hand and scratched Mu Li's nose.The intimacy between the two caught the attention of the little girl at the front desk.

This irritating goblin...Mu Li was tickled by her, and it happened that the elevator came, and Mu Li pulled Lan Ni into the elevator.Pressing the button on the fifth floor with one hand, forcing Lan Ni to the corner of the elevator with the other, he lowered his head to catch her lips.

Lanny knew that she would not be able to bear it, and put her arms around her neck, enjoying a long kiss with her lover.By the way, I took the time to glance at the surveillance camera in the elevator, and then turned on the camera.

So the little girl at the front desk who was staring at the surveillance video of the elevator blushed suddenly, and dared not watch it anymore.

Sweetness is short-lived, and now is not the time to flirt with each other.The two entered the room to put down their luggage, then immediately went down to the second floor and came to the door of the conference room.

Du Bo was already waiting at the door, and when she saw them coming, she knocked on the door first, and waited for a voice inside to respond "come in", then she opened the door and led Mu Li and Lan Ni in.

There is no long table as imagined in the conference room, it is empty and the area is large.Instead, a blackboard was hung on the wall, occupying the entire wall. Various documents, including photos of people, were densely pasted on the blackboard with magnets.There is also a chalk connection in the middle, writing the relationship and speculation between the materials.Just in front of the blackboard, there are three chairs facing each other in a triangle.On one of the chairs was sitting the supreme leader of the Assassin organization - the hermit.

This is a middle-aged woman who looks about forty years old, Asian, with short and neat hair.It's just that the temples are gray and slightly vicissitudes.Her facial features are very handsome, and there is a wise and aloof demeanor between her eyebrows.She was sitting upright, and although she was dressed casually, she was neat and tidy and kept spotless.A pair of half-rimmed glasses hung on the bridge of her nose, as if she had painted the most perfect strokes on her body, a gentle and knowledgeable leader with deep eyes appeared in front of her eyes.

However, only a ferocious scar on the left side ruined her entire face. It added a brutal and domineering aura to her body, intertwined with a gentle and bookish aura, which gave people an indescribable feeling. , the best choice is to bow your head and surrender.

From the moment Mu Li and Lan Ni entered the conference room, her eyes followed them, especially Mu Li.Those eyes, which were as dark as Mu Li's, contained too many emotions, making it hard for people to see through them.

Until Mu Li and Lan Ni approached and stood still in front of her, the emotions in her eyes instantly subsided, she stood up with a smile, and said:

"Mu Li, Lan Ni, welcome. I am a hermit, and children usually call me leader or teacher."

"Hello, leader." Lan Ni responded first.

Mu Li also greeted Lan Ni, and she stared at the hermit, her brows gradually furrowed.This person...how does it feel, so familiar?

At this time, Du Bo stepped forward and whispered a few words in the hermit's ear, because he was not far away, Mu Li could basically hear what she was saying, that was to report that Qiu Zheng had an argument with her in the car things.Mu Li was a little depressed, did he leave a bad impression on the leader on the first day of joining the new organization?I don't know if Lanny heard Du Bo's whisper, but the eldest lady always does her own way, and she keeps a smile on her face at this moment, and she doesn't know what she is thinking in her heart.

After listening to Du Bo's words indifferently, the hermit nodded to show that he understood.Du Bo then left the meeting room, the hermit raised a smile, raised his hand and asked:

"Sit down, I have a lot to say to you, standing is too tiring."

The three sat down, and the hermit looked at the two peacefully, and then said:

"I'm very glad to see that you all appeared in front of me safe and sound. When you come to me, it means that our plan b has officially started. Plan b is carried out in stages, and you can only know the goals and contents of the stage. Plan b I will not tell you the full picture of the situation, unless the time is ripe. You need to know this in advance."

Mu Li and Lan Ni looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"Okay," she smiled, "Before I introduce the content of the first phase of Plan B, we need to take a history lesson to learn about some very secret things in the history of the Federation, so that you can understand that we do these matter, what is it for?"

Lanny raised her eyebrows, full of interest.Originally, Mu Li was still a little off, searching his memory, thinking hard about where he had seen this middle-aged woman full of special charm in front of him.But at this moment, his attention was also focused on the words of the hermit, and these thoughts were put aside for the time being.

Hermit's voice is like a stream, clear and tactful, with elegant diction and eloquence, as if he is really an experienced teacher.Lan Ni thought that she knew the history of the Federation well, and she would not be surprised no matter what historical secrets the hermit told.

But after this conversation was over, she realized that she was very wrong.
