[Hunter] Lydia's Life Story I

Back at the grocery store, it was already dark.The low, single-storey wooden buildings are vaguely visible in the night, like giant beasts lurking at the end of the street, strange and infiltrating.

There is no light on the stars and moon tonight, and there is no light on this road. I really dare not walk if I am alone.But now there are two killing gods walking beside me, so what is there to be afraid of?Feitan walked beside me with light steps like a cat, and Kuroro walked on the other side holding my hand, the warmth from his hand made me less shy from the cold, and at the same time led me to walk around Passing the debris on the road, so as not to stumble over the road—they have excellent night vision, and when I can't see my fingers, they insist on walking on the ground, but that's not acceptable.

Walking in front of the wooden door of the grocery store, Kuroro and Feitan on the left and right of me stood still at the same time.They probably released "Yuan" to sense the movement inside, and when they found no one, Fei Tan stepped forward and pushed open the wooden door and walked in.The previously familiar grocery store has turned into a den of dragons and tigers because of the possibility of intrusions by uninvited visitors. Kuroro stood in front of the door to maintain a certain level of vigilance, and when Feitan opened the door, he also dragged me in.

Entering the grocery store, Kuroro turned on the seat lamp with a "snap", because it was time to change the battery, the original bright yellow light was a little dim, illuminating the ghostly shadows of the sundries on the shelves.In such a short while, Feitan had disappeared, and he probably went directly to the backyard to check the condition of the floppy disk.Kuroro didn't pause at all, and pulled me to the bedroom in the backyard.

The lights in the inner room on the opposite side have been turned on, and before stepping into the dark yard, I heard Feitan's hoarse and icy voice calling: "Kurolo, come quickly!" Kuroro held my hand tightly , quickened my pace and walked across the small yard in three steps and two steps, I trotted to keep up with him, feeling a little bad in my heart.

There was still a lingering smell of blood in the bedroom with the lights on, Fei Tan stood in front of the coffee table with his back to the door, looking down at the things on the coffee table.We walked up to him and looked down. It was the floppy disk I had hidden under the bed before. Someone took it out but didn't take it away. Instead, it was placed on the coffee table in a big lala with a note pressed underneath.

Kuroro held up a note, which said, "The abilities of the three are very interesting. Are you interested in joining us? If you have any intention of cooperation, please take the time to talk to the teahouse at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning. Sincerely, Teoff."

"Cooperate for what? Is this a threat?" Fei Tan said, with a hint of disbelief mixed with his murderous intent.Is it unexpected that the other party will issue an invitation to join them, can't believe the other party's whimsy, or amazed at the other party's boldness and difficulty?

Kuroro took a look at the note in his hand, put the note back on the coffee table, spread out the thief's cheat book, turned to the page that recorded the tracking ability before, activated the telekinetic ability and picked up the floppy disk on the table, suddenly He snorted and said, "Sure enough, it was erased. It's really interesting."

The fishing hook was discovered, and the other party turned against the general, leaving such an ambiguous note, is it trying to turn our enemy into a friend?is it possible?

"Could it be a trap?" I asked hesitantly.Is it now that the other party uses the secret of my ability to fish?Dang Kai did not mention chips and floppy disks, but used them as a bait, half lure and half threat to let us go to that teahouse... Is there an ambush?To lure us into a trap?

"Where is the teahouse?" Fei Tan asked.

"It's a store in the Special Commodity Zone, a well-known neutral zone for negotiation between all parties." Kuroro replied without thinking.It could be seen that he was falling into intense thinking, his black eyes fell on the note without focus, and only a small part of his mind was allocated to answer Fei Tan's question.

"Since it's a special place for negotiation, is it a little bit of sincerity to represent the other party?" I said slowly, and I thought this assumption was ridiculous.Just kidding, shake hands and make peace?We are separated by the chip and the floppy disk, the hidden secrets of the parliament, the words I leaked, and the two serious injuries and two lives of the other party!

But... "If it's not a sincere invitation to join us, is it a negotiation? Using the secret of my ability to coerce us to hand over chips and floppy disks?" I guessed wildly.

"But the other party just exposed it like this..." Fei Tan stretched out his finger and pointed at the inscription "Toff" on the note, wondering if this Toff was the one who released the mosquito, or another one?He narrowed his eyes excitedly: "Are you inviting us to do it?"

I felt a mess in my mind, and I looked at Kuroro who unconsciously put his hand over his mouth and thought: "Kuroro, what do you think?"

"I think..." Kuroro pondered for a while, put down his hand covering his mouth, looked up at us and asserted: "I think the other party is really inviting us to join."

"what?"

"why?"

Fei Tan and I said at the same time.

"Just think about the situation in front of them from the perspective of the opponent." Kuroro calmly analyzed, "It's obviously not wise to go hard after a few bad starts and successive reductions. But in order to complete the task, you must get the chip as soon as possible. And floppy disks, and at the same time prevent us from leaking this secret.” Kurolo talked eloquently, becoming more and more certain, “Then how can we get the chips and floppy disks in our hands without confronting us head-on, and resolve our leaks? What about the secret threat?

"Negotiate, pull us into the gang, and turn the enemy into a partner. This is the most sensible choice."

"But we have already killed both of them..." I doubted, this is obviously an unsolvable problem, how kind of heart must it be to shake hands and make peace with us after two lives? "They still have two seriously injured! How can we explain this to our companions?" I said.

"Why not?" Kuroro looked at me and asked, "As long as there is a strong decision-maker, this is the safest choice for them at present. If we are recruited, we can naturally get chips and floppy disks." , the biggest problem was solved immediately. And there is no need to kill us to silence them, a strong enemy turned into a strong reinforcement, they are at a time when they are seriously downsizing, and with our supplements, their strength will be restored or even improved immediately."

"But... dead people..." I still feel incredible.

"Death is dead." The implication is that the living still have to think about themselves.

I was speechless for a while.

"If I didn't have Lydia's ability, I wouldn't be so sure. But now the other party knows that we can get supplies—think about that secret account, on Meteor Street, supplies mean everything." Kuroro's tone Gentle, but the meaning revealed in the words is chilling. "In the face of such ability, no one can be indifferent and do not want to do everything possible to get a share of it. With this alone, we can actually trust the sincerity of the other party's cooperation. What is left to be discussed is just how big the other party's appetite is. .”

When I think about it carefully, Kuroro's analysis is correct. If the emotional factor can be completely put aside, there is actually such a "broad road" in front of the other party.But……

This kind of gang that only considers from the perspective of profit and doesn't care about the feelings of companions at all has no value in joining at all.Even in cooperation, one must consider the danger of seeking skins from tigers. Who knows when they will be abandoned and betrayed by them without hesitation in the face of greater interests?

I looked at the eye-catching note on the table and bit my lower lip unconsciously.

"Having said so much, what should we do?" Fei Tan asked directly, not caring so much.

"We must go to the teahouse." Ku Luoluo said, "The ability to mention the three of us is clearly a threat. We cannot avoid it, and there is no need to avoid it."

"Then we need to negotiate." I said, "But... if the other party really invites us to join the group, how should we respond? There must be a charter in advance."

"If the other party really invites us to join," Kurolo said, "I can't think of any reason for us to refuse."

I stared at him with wide eyes, unable to turn the corner for a moment.

Is it true to join?this……

Kuroro met Feitan's and me's eyes, and explained calmly: "The other party can't know our bottom and dare not act rashly, but we understand that we don't have any choice. Now we can't know the other party's whereabouts, and we are being held by the other party. He has two handles," he pointed to the floppy disk on the table, and looked at me again, "If the other party's request is directly rejected, they will definitely hide immediately to prevent us from silencing them, then we will be very passive—no matter the other party is Continuing to fight against us in the dark as we are now, or exposing us to the forces behind us in the end, will not be the result we want. So instead of carrying it so hard and bringing things to a deadlock, it is better to take advantage of the trend and The opponent contacts."

He reached out and flipped the note on the table, and said calmly: "If you can join the other party, it will solve all our current troubles in one fell swoop. The benefits far outweigh the disadvantages. Even if you just meet the other party, you can get More information can reverse the current passive situation where the enemy is in the dark."

"But won't you be controlled by others if you join?" I questioned, "The handle is still the handle, won't we really get deeper and deeper?"

Kuroro is obviously not without this concern, frowned and said: "It can only be said that there is still room for maneuver if you join, and you must be controlled by others if you don't join - in this situation, it is already the best to bite the bullet and go down There is a way."

He raised his eyes and looked at us, "So, my conclusion is, go to the teahouse to negotiate with the other party tomorrow. If the conditions are acceptable, join the other party and solve the immediate troubles first." He spread his hands, "So, what are your opinions? ?”

"Join the other party?" Fei Tan's faint tone could not hear the tendency.He sneered: "If they really don't care about the previous losses, we don't care."

Indeed, so far, the other party's loss is not bad, and the enmity with us is not bad. On the contrary, we have nothing to lose, just some troubles.

"That is to say, if it is confirmed tomorrow that the other party really sincerely invites us to join, and it is not a trap, then agree to join them?" I confirmed.

Kuroro nodded: "To further confirm the intention of the other party, this is the main purpose of our going to the teahouse tomorrow, and by the way, collect as much information as possible about the other party. If the negotiation goes well, try not to tear yourself apart with the other party."

"...Is there really only one way to agree to the other party's joining? Is there no other way?" I still didn't give up, struggling to my death.This group of people is clearly positioned as the enemy. If you hold your nose and join them, will you be able to sleep peacefully in the future?

"Other ways... Pack up your things and run away? Leave the eighth district..." Kuroro spread his hands.

"We've just started on the right track..." I said disconcertedly, "I can't bear to let go of the grocery store that was finally opened!" What's all this about?It's just a serious business, why is it so difficult!

"I don't care." Kurolo said, "But it's not to the point of throwing everything away and running for our lives. So I agree to join the other party first. Of course, the final decision still needs the three of us to reach an agreement."

Feitan and I looked at each other across Kurolo.

"I agree."

"I disagree."

Feitan and I looked at each other - he said he disagreed, and I said yes.

Kuroro poked the center of his brow with his finger in a headache.

"Then, come one by one and talk about your own ideas." He mediated from left to right, "Lydia, you go first."

"My idea is... It's not okay to force it. Then join them temporarily, and then look for opportunities..." I shrugged and snorted uncomfortably: "We are serious businessmen, people who hinder this goal All must die!"

"That's what I mean too." Kurolo added to Feitan, "Joining temporarily does not mean following the opponent's pace. It is easier to understand the strength of the opponent internally. Once there is a chance, we still have to go back to killing people Thinking up." He showed an emotionless smile, "We must not forget our original intention."

"Fei Tan? What are you laughing at?" I wondered.

"It's nothing." Fei Tan said, with a deep and cold smile in his voice: "Let's do it this way. My opinion is, I won't hang out with those guys, and I will kill them sooner or later."

"Then, the opinions are unified." Kuroro clasped his hands together, "We will negotiate tomorrow and agree to join the other party."

"Now, let's talk about the conditions we can propose tomorrow and the bottom line of the negotiation."
