Chapter 771: Using Gai to Lure the Enemy (3k)
As her voice fell, the female Black-clad Bishop was also startled, and looked over. To her surprise, she found something, her expression slightly serious, and a black long whip appeared in her hand. The whip glowed with some black mist as it slowly approached.
“Who?!”
As she was on guard, she saw the Ferryman wearing the White Crow Mask stomp his foot forcefully, leap up, and push open the large door. His palm, wrapped in gray external Qi, struck out.
“Bang!”
With the external Qi, the palm hit the girl’s petite body. In an instant, she was slammed against the wall like a cannonball, with a small notebook left behind.
The female Black-clad Bishop also followed suit. Looking at the scene before her, her wariness towards Lord Cangshan lessened. She took two or three steps forward, bent down, picked up the black notebook, and glanced at the eye symbol on it. Her face became slightly solemn.
“This is from the Night Watcher…”
Before she finished speaking, the Black-clothed Girl stomped on the ground and was about to shatter the window and escape to the other side. Her speed was extremely fast, and the sound of void breaking echoed in the room.
“A rat has sneaked in. Capture her and send her to Lord Zichuan to be interrogated properly.”
Before the girl could make a move, Lord Cangshan sneered, as if he had anticipated this. He reached out his hand towards the front, and a sudden chill surged.
“Roar!”
A large black hand appeared out of thin air beside the girl. Then, as he grasped it, the external Qi hand mimicked the shape of a palm and also grabbed.
“Uh oh…”
The next moment, the Black-clothed Girl’s neck was choked, preventing her from speaking. She tried to pry open the large hand with her fingers, but it was no use, and she could only kick forward with her feet.
Like a fish caught on a hook, she was helpless due to the lack of water.
“Intermediate Battle King? This strength is quite good.”
Seeing that her companion had been captured successfully, the female Black-clad Bishop probed the Black-clothed Girl’s strength with her mental power. She suddenly chuckled, and a sharp glint appeared in her eyes. “After asking some questions, we can give her to Lord Zichuan to be made into a puppet and do things for us…”
“Now is not the time to talk about this. We need to leave quickly. We made quite a bit of noise just now, and it would be bad if it attracted the attention of the Dragon Hunters.”
Lord Cangshan glanced at the other party, then knocked out the Black-clothed Girl and bound her casually with the gray external Qi, then tossed her into a corner of the room.
“Alright, I’ll have the ship start moving.”
Hearing this, the female Black-clad Bishop nodded. She glanced at the unconscious Black-clothed Girl again, her doubts completely dispelled. She took out a walkie-talkie and whispered a few words to the person steering the boat.
“Whoosh–”
Soon, the ship began to turn and slowly sailed towards the southern sea. The speed was leisurely, just like a real fishing boat. There were even people on deck using nets to catch fish from the rolling waves.
About half an hour passed.
Steam billowed from the top of the ship as it slowly left the Huainan region and headed towards the vast ocean. There were fewer patrol boats here, and the “fishermen” on board stopped fishing and started drinking chilled beer.
These fishermen were actually disguised cultists. Since there was no danger, they naturally didn’t need to work so hard. After all, no one was a real fishmonger.
“Puff…”
In the sky, where the moon was invisible, white figures of Gugu Birds occasionally glided overhead, flapping their wings. Porpoises also broke the surface of the water with low grunts, making everything seem peaceful.
In the room on the second floor, three people sat on sofas on either side. The female Black-clad Bishop and her two Priests were each holding a bottle of drink and drinking as if nothing had happened.
“Lord Zichuan, are there any new tasks assigned over there?”
In the most conspicuous spot, Lord Cangshan sat at the main table, one leg on the table, holding a cigarette, slowly exhaling pale blue smoke rings, and glancing at the three people sitting on the sofa.
“Yes, we are to rendezvous with Bishop White Phosphorus on the first island and figure out White Crow’s true intentions.”
Hearing this, the female Black-clad Bishop, sitting on the side sofa, nodded gently. She hugged one of the handsome Priests and said with a flirtatious smile.
“Bishop White Phosphorus? I don’t think I’ve heard that name before.”
Lord Cangshan was stunned and said thoughtfully, fiddling with his white gloves.
“It’s normal that you don’t know.”
She chuckled, picked up the “Power Train” beside her, and drank it with a “gurgling” sound. After a while, she let out a “Ha!” and laughed as she said,
“He is our Intelligence Department’s mole, specifically planted among the Night Watchers who defected. He is currently in charge of a Ferryman named Water Bird.”
“Well done.”
Lord Cangshan’s eyes narrowed, and a hint of surprise appeared in them, but he didn’t reveal it. Instead, he asked,
“Are there many moles like this?”
“I don’t know. The major Cardinal factions all have moles planted in each other.” The female Black-clad Bishop shook her head, indicating that she was unclear about such matters. As part of the Intelligence Department, she, as a direct subordinate, contacted the Cardinals and did not need to explain anything to this Ferryman.
Getting this answer, Lord Cangshan raised his eyebrows and pressed out his cigarette, his eyes drooping as he changed the subject: “You seem to know a lot. I want to ask you about the identity of a Cardinal. It seems that after advancing to Cardinal, they will be hostile to other Cardinals…”
As he spoke, he fiddled with the crystal cross necklace at his waist with his fingers, his intentions clear – I’m about to advance, and I want to ask about the follow-up plan.
“Because different Cardinals serve different high-level Others. Those of the same faction serve the same Other and are influenced by it. Thus, there are strong and weak Cardinals…”
The female Black-clad Bishop glanced at her two subordinates. After they quietly stood up, she paused slightly and continued,
“The weak ones, like The Singer and White Crow, are newly promoted Cardinals who casually believe in weak Others, and don’t even have Fallen Knights. The strong ones are like Lord爵士, whose strength is unfathomable, and they have several Fallen Knights possessed by Others by their side – but he seems to be planning something in Europe.”
After she finished speaking, she stood up again, bowed slightly, and said with a smile, “If your strength reaches the High-level War God level, you can believe in the same Other as Lord Zichuan. His strength is enough to allow you to advance directly to the realm of a Walker.”
“Does Lord Zichuan have Fallen Knights? I’ve never heard of anything like that.”
Casually tossing the cigarette away, Cangshan leaned back in his chair and continued to chat, seemingly very interested in this question.
“I don’t know…”
Hearing this, the female Black-clad Bishop just shook her head slightly. Then, perhaps afraid of displeasing this Ferryman, she quickly added, “Dark Fallen Knights are special methods for every Cardinal. Apart from the truly insane, few people will report their names.”
The few continued to communicate, discussing some trivial matters. When Cangshan inadvertently asked about the “Red Tide incident,” the female Black-clad Bishop, as an intelligence officer, had a strange expression and then found it somewhat amusing.
“This is precisely White Crow’s plan, to use fish monsters to replace humans and offer sacrifices to gain favor from the Others. However, he chose non-intelligent races, which resulted in a large quantity being needed. In a short while, he tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice, attracting the attention of Dragon Country and major international organizations.”
“Can he summon Others like this?”
Cangshan also chuckled a few times and asked again, his gaze flicking towards the Black Skirt Girl in the corner. His gaze met a pair of Blood Eyes, but his smile remained.
“Yes, because he found many Sirens to act as Shallow Believers…”
The female Black-clad Bishop nodded, but then, almost instantly, she realized something was wrong. She retreated two steps in succession, her gaze suddenly focused like a falcon, staring intently at Cangshan, and said in a low voice,
“I remember you should know more about this matter than I do?”
“I’m just asking, don’t be so surprised.”
Cangshan waved his hand nonchalantly, his expression still relaxed, with a smile on his face, as if encountering something insignificant.
Just as the female Black-clad Bishop was about to ask further, the ship suddenly stopped. The shouts of the cultists outside sounded.
“Bishop, the South Sea Patrol is ahead. They are demanding to stop the ship for inspection. It seems they have detected something.”
“Patrol? Where did the patrol come from in this damn sea?”
The female Black-clad Bishop was stunned, then called her two Priests to go out and check the situation. She stayed behind alone and looked at Cangshan again, saying in a low voice,
“Lord Cangshan, I want to ask you, do you remember Lord Zichuan’s real name? All of us who trust him know this matter.”
“…”
Cangshan remained silent, not even getting up. He just smiled faintly, and a trace of light blue appeared in his eyes in the light.
“No wonder you didn’t use any rules before. You were probably afraid of revealing anything?”
She said in a low voice, and then a coldness appeared in the female Black-clad Bishop’s eyes. A black whip had appeared in her hand at some point. A chill ran through her. She had been talking to a Ferryman who might be an impostor for so long.
Cangshan suddenly raised his hand, and a blue butterfly appeared on his fingertips. He tilted his head and looked forward, his posture quite feminine, and said with a soft laugh, “Knowing I’m fake, aren’t you afraid that we two will cooperate and take you down?”
“The Night Watcher cooperates and infiltrates. Apart from having an Elder leading them, they must be of the same rank. If she is only an Intermediate Battle King, you…”
The female Black-clad Bishop forced herself to calm down. Soon, a smile reappeared on her face. She even believed her guess. She pointed her whip forward and said coldly,
“Even if you are stronger than her, you won’t be much stronger.”
“Heh heh, I don’t know if I’m strong or not, but you definitely can’t leave today. You must be one of the planners of that training session.”
He chuckled and gently blew on the butterfly, letting it drift towards the door. The smile on his face carried an inexplicable coldness.
“I’m so thirsty.”
At this moment, the Black-clothed Girl suddenly stood up from the corner, then picked up the wine pot and took a small sip. She then sat down next to “Cangshan,” hooked his chin with one hand, and smiled,
“Little Sisi, your skill is really useful, but it doesn’t last long, and you can’t get stimulated…”
“Miss, don’t be like this, wu…”
And Cangshan, after having his chin held by Su Jiu, let out a girlish voice, and with a “bang!”, transformed into a small girl only about 1.4 meters tall. Her legs were suddenly too short to reach the table, and she fell to the ground with a “plop.”
“Miss!”
Smoothly puffing her cheeks, she got up, like a girl next door being teased by her childhood friend, with a touch of cuteness.
“You guys…”
Looking at the scene before her, the female Black-clad Bishop suddenly remembered the live broadcast she had seen on her phone. The two figures began to overlap slowly, and a deeper chill surged into her heart.
She realized who the two people were.
