Chapter 216 Sleepless Night Talk
Port area, a certain villa.

At midnight, Arthur found that he could not sleep at all.

Even for him, what he experienced today was too much.

——First, I suddenly received news that the Huo Thallium Heroes had formed a large battle formation in Dongju.But when he rushed to the scene with STF, he found that Zhe Lukui, Snake, and Hui Yuanchu were also involved, and the matter became exponentially more complicated.

——Then he and Hui Yuanchu fought against the fire thallium hero, but the fire thallium hero successfully launched an unknown spell, causing Hui Yuanchu, a guy who couldn't die at all, to be seriously injured and dying.
——In the end, the fire thallium hero's magic actually summoned the maid of Atalabadu, the mythical creature "Sleeping Girl".The sleeping girl resurrected the fire thallium hero, and the two worked together to capture him and use the lives of all his men as hostages to force him to surrender.

Actually, so far... things are pretty normal.

No matter how strange the phenomenon is, no matter how fierce the battle, life and death, it is just an ordinary day that a group operations expert may experience...

But what happened next made Arthur feel weird no matter how he thought about it. He still couldn't let it go and kept thinking about it.

The Sleeping Girl and the Fire Hero captured Arthur and used his men as hostages to demand his surrender.

And the "surrender" here is different from what Arthur originally expected.

The fire thallium hero stared at him with burning eyes and said: "——Swear. Swear that you will be our companion sincerely until the snake is killed."

……Huh?How did the fire thallium hero know the law of his oath?
But forced by circumstances, dozens of members of the STF team were still buried in the wall of flesh and blood, so Arthur had no choice but to swear an oath as he said - in the name of honesty, honor and mercy.

Then, the fire thallium hero simply lifted all the restrictions on him, not caring that he continued to hold the weapon, and even did not shy away from leaving his back to him on the way out of Dongju, as if he really He treated him like a companion.

Arthur also thought about whether to give a righteous backstab...

But unfortunately, since he has sworn an oath, he will carry out the oath calmly and wholeheartedly.

Next, after taking Arthur's car to leave Dongju, the sleeping girl also expressed her opinion for the first time, saying that it would be up to Arthur to arrange her final destination.

Arthur felt a little weird, but in the end he drove the fire hero and the sleeping girl back to the current villa.

——This villa is actually a safe house for Arthur.And it was the kind he prepared for himself in private. It had nothing to do with the group and no one else knew about it, so it was naturally very safe for the Fire Thallium Hero and the sleeping girl at this time.

It was already night when he entered the villa. After briefly eating some emergency food, Huo Thallium Hero quickly went back to the guest room and fell asleep peacefully.

But Arthur tossed and turned in bed for several hours. He always felt that in the previous incident, everyone seemed to have behaved abnormally at some point, and he had overlooked something...

Finally, Arthur simply stood up.

But when he went downstairs to the living room, he unexpectedly saw the figure of another distinguished guest.

The headless girl folded her legs in a ladylike manner and sat on the sofa in the living room. It seemed that she had no intention of falling asleep at this late night.

After entering the villa, the headless girl also took a bath immediately and changed out the few strands of cloth that were almost no longer hanging on her body.

The villa is nominally owned by a couple who frequently travel overseas, so as part of the disguise, the villa is also equipped with a complete set of women's clothing from the inside out for the imaginary hostess.But the headless girl chose a clean men's T-shirt and shorts.

She seems to be quite fond of this kind of loose clothes. She has been wearing them without any intention of changing them until now, and her posture also exudes a lazy and leisurely atmosphere.

Just lying lazily on the sofa, the girl is holding a red wine glass in her hand, repeatedly raising it to her non-existent mouth, putting it down, raising it again, putting it down... After all, she doesn't have a head to taste This glass of wine.

Although the fracture of her neck was covered with a layer of gray mist, it didn't look like she could pour liquid directly into it.

...Perhaps, the hunger in the soul is still unquenchable.

thought Arthur.

Finally, the headless girl finally gave up and raised her glass.

Although there was no sigh or expression, just sitting there gave him a lost atmosphere.

Arthur sniffed the smell, but suddenly felt something strange: there was no aroma of wine in the air.

He looked around again - on the coffee table next to him, there was an open can of Coke.

Arthur covered his face and shook his head, sighing deeply, then walked over and sat across from the headless girl.

"Miss Seluti." He looked at the other person and said, "Can I call you that?"

There was no response from the other side.

"Then I'll take it as your acquiescence." Arthur nodded and quickly moved on to the next topic, "Out of curiosity, can I ask you a few questions?"

"..."

"I want to know why you want to help the Fire Thallium Hero?"

The headless girl finally moved.

She put down the red wine glass that she had poured Coke into, then took a mobile phone from the coffee table nearby and began to dance her fingers quickly on it and start typing.

Arthur looked at this scene, and his sense of disobedience rose again.

He never thought that this "mythical creature" could use the products of modern technology so skillfully.

In fact, in Dongju, when the headless girl expressed her opinion for the first time and asked Arthur to decide where to go, she "spoke" by manipulating blood stains.Arthur is also a little worried whether he will have to kill someone first every time he communicates in the future...

But in fact, after returning to the villa, the headless girl simply took away the spare mobile phone in the villa, and then started to communicate with them by typing with ease.

The headless girl finally finished typing and showed the phone screen, which read: "The strong desire of the Fire Thallium Hero caught the attention of the Lord of Flesh and Blood. Therefore, he responded to the Fire Thallium Hero."

After Arthur read the words, he thought for a while and asked: "So, what you are saying is that you will help the fire thallium hero realize his wish?"

"Yes."

"So what is his wish? To kill the snake?"

"No."

Arthur was a little surprised: "That is?"

"This is a contract between both parties, so I can't tell you about this third party. However, killing the snake is indeed one of the things that needs to be done in order to realize this wish. Or, you can think that this is the current goal... Anyway , your oath is until that moment, isn't it?"

Arthur nodded, and then continued to ask: "So it can be said that the fundamental reason why you want to capture me is to kill the snake?"

For such an obvious question, the headless girl didn't even bother to type "yes".

"It makes sense." Arthur showed a thoughtful expression and continued talking to himself, "Because under the circumstances at that time, Haiyuan lost his combat effectiveness and the P device could not be activated. The STF alone could It's hard to compete with a fire thallium hero, and with you...so, you can easily kill everyone in the whole building.

"But even if all the STFs in the group are really killed, it will not help the Fire Thallium Hero's goal... because the Fire Thallium Hero's first goal is always snakes.

"The whereabouts of the snake is not a secret. He was taken away by the group. However, this can only be regarded as a 'clue' at best. You still need to find out the specific place where the group imprisoned the snake. Moreover, you also need to consider how to break through the group's defense.

"We can't place our hopes on the snake to give guidance again, because we may never hear the snake's whisper again. Who can tell what the snake is thinking? Moreover, the group cannot let the snake continue to whisper with us. There must be some means of contacting the outside world.

"So, at this time, you need such an information source, someone who is familiar with the internal affairs and routine procedures of the group. This person can deduce the whereabouts of the snake and help you estimate the strength of the group's defense forces that you may encounter.

After a pause, Arthur finally said: "You chose me."

The headless girl didn't respond.

And Arthur continued: "You know what kind of person I am. Not only do you know that I meet all the conditions you just mentioned, but you also know that... you should let me help you sincerely, without playing tricks or betraying. Methods.

“That’s the oath.

"So, based on these conditions, you conceived the last battle in the detention center. And let the fire thallium hero cooperate with you to execute it.

"It seems that the core of the tactic is to behead me... However, in fact, the really important part of the entire battle is to make dozens of STF members lose their ability to resist, but remain intact. Only by creating these hostages can we serve as an order. I yield, to the terms of the oath.

"——But in short, you succeeded." Arthur sighed, "I was defeated, and I vowed to help you." He shrugged, then spread his arms and said: "Then, I will help you, you are right Are you satisfied with this safe house?"

The headless girl typed: "I am very satisfied."

Then, another line: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Arthur spread his hands: "...Actually, I have insomnia."

"Because the more I think about what I just said, the more I can't figure out one thing...that is, Miss Seluti, why do you know so much.

Arthur stared at the headless girl opposite and began to ask questions one after another.

"How did you come to this world and accurately grasp the relationship between the snake and the group, and the situation on and off the field?

"Hero Hero? He's not the type to plan and design actions. In the past, including this time, all of them were made with the help of snakes.

“So, this time, it can only be you, not the Fire Thallium Hero, who came up with this plan.

"Then, how do you know that I, Arthur, meet those conditions? How do you know my position in the group? How do you know the rules of my oath?
“Although I have never kept these things secret... only people who are close and familiar with me know these things.

"But where did an out-of-this-world mythical creature, 'Aldabadu's maid'... know these things?"

The headless girl remained patiently silent, waiting for Arthur's endless stream of questions to pause before she started typing.

Soon, she revealed her answer: “Of course from the sacrifice.

"He was sacrificed to the Lord of Flesh by the Hero of Fire.

“So, the fire of his flesh and soul also belongs to the Lord of flesh and blood.

"...You don't think that memory and consciousness only exist in the physical brain, do you?"

Arthur leaned forward and read these lines carefully.

Then, he exhaled and fell backwards, and slowly said: "...But, what if the sacrifice is not established at all?"

"I learned a secret from a certain channel. That is—Hui Yuanyuan is a very special existence."

"Although he is indeed in the realm of flesh and blood...but he is not the one in power at all." Arthur said word by word: "Rather, he is the creator level."

Although the headless girl itself did not move much, at that moment, there was indeed a certain solid atmosphere.

Arthur laughed and continued: "From this, we can't draw any conclusions about what kind of relationship he has with Yadabadu... But now that I think about this information, I realize that it is at least very crucial. One thing can be inferred from here, that is——

"You want to use Huiyuan as a sacrifice? This kind of sacrifice is impossible to succeed." He finally said, "-And if the sacrifice is not successful, then the real sleeping girl in front of me cannot be.

Finally, Arthur finally asked the most critical question: "So, who are you?"

The headless girl was silent for a moment and started typing on her phone again.

Arthur rubbed his temples and sighed deeply.

He gave up telling riddles and said bluntly: "—Okay, my friend! Stop pretending, there is no one else here!"

The headless girl's fingers stopped for a moment, then pretended not to hear and continued tapping.

"Okay, okay, I know what you are worried about. Are you worried about settling the score after being cheated by Lu Kuiqiu? Then let me tell you two pieces of good news."

"First of all, the information just now, about what's special about you, is something that only I know, and Oroku Kui doesn't know about it at all."

"Because the source of this information is..." Arthur weighed for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth, "It's Zheli. He didn't let Zorukui know about it."

"And without the key information of 'you cannot be sacrificed', from my perspective, she really thought you were sacrificed."

"Second, I didn't install a keyhole."

This time, the headless girl's movements actually paused for a moment.

Then, she quickly deleted the text she originally typed and changed it to another sentence: "Impossible. The senior leaders and people in power of the group must install keyholes."

"Yes, but I am the only exception. Because..." Arthur paused and said, "...Well, although this should have been one of the top secrets, now that I know your secret, Then in exchange I will tell you my secret."

"I didn't install a keyhole because I am the 'most prototype of a human being' to the group."

Finally, Arthur raised his hand and said solemnly: "I can swear on all the above that I will never lie."

The headless girl was silent for a moment, not typing, as if she was thinking about something.

Finally, she typed a short line.

It was specially blackened and the font size was enlarged.

——"Call me Seluti!!!"

Arthur smiled.

"Okay, my friend... Seruti." Then he said, "Since you always respond to expectations, please be sure to grant me a small request, okay?"

"Say."

"Okay, actually..."

In fact, Arthur wanted to say it a long time ago.

From the very beginning of the conversation he tried to look into the eyes of his interlocutor, as was his custom.

But...the headless girl had no head, so she had no eyes to show him.

Therefore, he could only look down a little and look at the broken head and neck of the girl... But just by looking at it for a little longer, the black mist made him feel mentally corroded.

Arthur could only look down again... and then found that his mental pressure was even greater.Because even though she is wearing a loose T-shirt, her body under the T-shirt has a truly girly figure.

"Can you turn back into a male body and talk to me again?" Arthur scratched his head, "I'm very stressed when you look like this."

The headless girl started typing again.

Arthur added calmly: "Actually, the information about you as a 'sleeping girl' has been sent back to the headquarters by the STF. In this case, wouldn't it be more advantageous for you to transform back into a male body?

"What I mean is that when the intelligence network captures the actions of 'three men', it may not immediately connect with the high-priority combination of 'two men and one woman', and it may be hidden from them. The sight is neither long nor short."

"'Headless' can be disguised with helmets, masks, hats, etc. But gender and body shape are the 'first characteristics' with the highest priority for any intelligence filtering system."

The headless girl stopped typing.

After a while, she began to change.

Just a blink of an eye, like a fog drifting away in an instant.The person sitting there wearing a T-shirt and shorts was already the body of a headless boy.

He spread his thighs carelessly, picked up the Coke can on the side... and then poured it down towards the black mist on his head and neck.

With a satisfied sound of "burp" coming from his lungs, the headless boy started typing.

"Tell me more, what does Zheli know about me?"

"Okay, actually I don't know how much Zheli knows...but he didn't tell me much. About you, he just said it casually..."
