Feng Aotian is the protagonist? Take it!

"You are worthy enough to look me in the eye?"

He just waved his hand across the iron railings, and a transparent air blade flew out at high speed with a "whoosh".

The next second, Xiao Jie's eyes were directly cut by the air blade, leaving a horrible bloody line. Blood spurted out, and his vision was dyed bright red and gradually turned black.

"what!!!"

After a while, the severe pain made him cry out.

My eyes can't see anymore!

Xiao Jie only felt that the area around his eyes was extremely hot, and hot liquid was sliding down his cheeks like tears that could not be stopped.

It hurts.

“Ugh! Aaaaaaah! Ugh!!!”

Xiao Jie covered his eyes in pain, rolled around on the ground wildly, and kicked the ground with his legs.

"ah!!!"

"don't want!!!"

"Brother Jie..."

Seeing this scene, many children screamed in fear, trembled instantly, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Don't...don't be afraid! Don't scream!"

Perhaps because he heard everyone's screams, Xiaojie shouted to everyone.

He knew that if everyone kept shouting, the man would kill them all.

Normally, when a child is frightened, he or she will scream uncontrollably to release his or her emotions.

When they heard Xiaojie's cry, even though they were trembling with fear, they still obediently covered their mouths.

In an instant, the scene became quiet, leaving only the children's sobbing.

Jing Ke was very surprised when he saw this scene. He never thought that a group of children would be so obedient.

Unbelievable.

"You have good leadership qualities, but your fate has come to an end," Jing Ke sneered.

“Not here yet!”

Xiao Jie endured the pain and stood up with difficulty. He clenched his fists and shouted in the direction of Jing Ke:

"I, I've already informed my friends, the hero of justice will definitely come to rescue us!"

Hearing Xiao Jie's words, Jing Ke burst out laughing, holding his stomach.

Xiao Jie didn't have any friends at all. He just didn't want to scare the children, so he made up a lie and tried to keep it together.

As a cunning devil, Jing Ke saw through Xiaojie's poor acting at a glance.

What righteous hero, what partner, they are all bluffing.

In Jing Ke's opinion, he just didn't want to embarrass himself in front of the children.

Jing Ke, who saw through the lie, mocked Xiao Jie directly:

"Then just let them beat me up! I'm so scared, hahaha!"

Ha, you little brat, you're still playing hero when you're about to die.

Originally, Jing Ke was going to kill Xiao Jie, but he has now changed his mind.

Since he dared to challenge me, I can't let him die easily.

"Let's see how long you can last!"

Xiao Jie's wound kept bleeding, and Jing Ke wanted him to slowly experience the fear of approaching death.

Don’t you like to pretend and show off?

See how long you can pretend!

After saying this, Jing Ke left the cell and asked the guard to close the door again.

Jing Ke has more important things to do than wasting time with the kids.

Deal with the traces left by Duke Longtao.

On the way to the hidden basement, Jing Ke held his chin and kept thinking about one thing in his mind.

The number of children is not small.

No one escaped.

Since the kidnapped children are all here, how did the masked man know the place called "Castle on the Lake"?

After thinking for a while, he murmured suspiciously:

"Could it be that the masked man has been here before?"

His guess was that the masked man was kidnapped here as a child and then ran away.

but···

As soon as this answer emerged, Jing Ke immediately denied it.

No.

This is impossible.

Duke Longtao was very cautious.

After all these years of getting along, he knew clearly that it was impossible for Duke Longtao to kidnap a child with strong mobility.

If it were him, the child who was blinded just now would not appear here.

He is a destabilizing factor.

Although Jing Ke was not happy with Duke Longtao's behavior, he had to admire his prudence.

Jing Ke even dared to swear that if any child could escape from Long Tao's hands, he would stand upside down and eat shit.

After ruling out this impossible answer, Jing Ke remembered what the boy had said.

"I have already informed my partners."

After careful analysis and rational thinking.

Jing Ke could conclude that the boy's words were full of loopholes and could be said to be completely impossible to be true.

but···

The current situation is very strange.

Assuming that the masked man is really the boy's friend, how did they get in touch?

There are many ways to get in touch, so don’t worry about it for now.

Think about it from another perspective.

Assuming that the masked man had contacted the boy and knew this place, why didn't he come directly to rescue the children?

It is obviously the best time to rescue when I am not here.

After thinking for a while, an answer suddenly popped up, making Jing Ke's eyes widen.

!!!

To seduce the tiger away from the mountain?

Was he deliberately using Ouyang Shuo's mouth to lure himself away from the Dukedom?

Why?

There were so many logical contradictions that Jing Ke always felt something was wrong and had a bad premonition in his heart.

It feels like there is something wrong with the intelligence somewhere.

All in all, the primary goal now is to clean up the traces of Duke Longtao, and other things can be thought about later.

Then, Jing Ke quickened his pace towards the basement.

At the end of a very long tunnel, Jing Ke pushed the wall hard, and with a "clang", the door of the hidden office was pushed open.

The moment he opened the door, the scene inside made Jing Ke's eyes widen.

"What!?"

The place was in a mess, with tables and chairs toppled over and documents scattered all over the floor.

Section 1#Volume 3: Change of Rank: Chapter 400: What a Fool!

Seeing the messy scene in front of him, Jing Ke suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and his mind was extremely confused.

This is the private office of Duke Longtao. Apart from himself, only I, as his assistant, know about this place.

who is it! ?

Does that boy really have a partner?

Tsk.

Jing Ke's mind was in a mess.

He subconsciously turned around, took a step forward, and planned to go back to the child to ask him clearly.

But the next second, he stopped thinking about it.

Even though Jing Ke is a lower-level demon, he is still a demon, and his mind is smarter than that of ordinary people.

Now that it has happened, don't dwell on the past where there might have been lies, but think about the correct way to deal with it.

The most important thing at the moment is to find out what that person took from here.

This will allow us to deduce his purpose and the actions he might take.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Then he began to sort out the scattered documents.

However···

The more he sorted it out, the more he couldn't understand the scene in front of him.

"Long Tao's plan, not a single page is missing..."

Jing Ke counted the documents very carefully, and just as he said, not a single page was missing.

Why is this?

This wave of mysterious operations completely confused Jing Ke.

You know, if these documents were to leak out, they would not only prove Long Tao's identity as a demon, but also reveal all his plans for the empire.

Since you are here, why don’t you take these documents with you?

Did he record it using the magic stone?

No.

Isn't this unnecessary?

Recorded images are never as good as the originals.

hiss···

Jing Ke was puzzled and continued to observe the traces around him, hoping to find clues about the invader.

About five minutes passed.

He discovered that a box was missing from the deep end of the drawer.

Not only that, the moment he opened the drawer, Jing Ke sensed the lingering breath of a higher-level demon.

The smell is very faint, almost non-existent, and ordinary people cannot detect it at all.

But as Jing Ke was also a demon, he was sure that the one who took the box was a higher-level demon.
