C301 Internal Strife(2)
"Hmph! Friend? We are only enemies. We are only together because we have the same benefits. Who would become friends with such a person!? " Auden was the first to be dissatisfied and shouted.
"Indeed, perhaps this person is using a clone no matter where he is. It's just that we don't know about it. " Actually, this matter didn't really matter to Ginger. It was just that he felt a little uncomfortable. At most, he wouldn't go with them when they returned. This wouldn't affect the conflict of interest between them.
"But I think there seems to be another reason." Tian Qingtian's voice caught their attention again.
Tian Qingtian felt that both of them were paying attention to him, so he deliberately kept them in suspense. "But I think you guys are more than certain whether what I said is true or not. After all, I'm just guessing. If this matter affects our plan this time, then the loss outweighs the gain. If he's really a fake, I think I already know what this guy's goal is." It makes your hearts itch. No matter how they ask me, I won't say anything anymore.
There's no way to get any more information from Qingtian. In the end, the two of them could only confirm his identity first. But what could they do? Could it be that they had to go over and ask him directly, "Duan, this is a clone, right? It is clearly a corpse, yet it pretends to be a living person. Am I right?" If that was the case, it would not be appropriate. No one would ask such an idiotic question.
"Then what should we do? Since you want us to confirm, there must be a good way, right?" Seeing that Ginger did not speak, Auden could only say it first.
"Of course there is a way. You guys do this, and then this..." Hearing what Qingtian said, both of their faces revealed a smile. "Kid, you're still the smartest! Alright, let's go now." After saying that, Auden and Ginger stopped appreciating the show. The two of them returned to their residence together.
Old patriarch, who was staring at the broken door, was a little puzzled. "Why did Ashlow want me to watch it break? Could it be that he wants to talk to those two guys alone? " This strange person had been silent since he went in. He could be considered an expert. But I can't even hear the sound of his breathing. I'm really surprised.
Not long after, he found Ginger and Auden had returned. Therefore, he stopped monitoring them, because he knew that the patriarch had already settled the matter. He immediately left.
Given Ginger and Auden's strength, they naturally discovered old patriarch. They saw that he wasn't with them just now. And now that he was standing in front of the broken door, they were even more convinced of what Qingtian had said. The two of them also stopped at the door for a while, and their discovery was the same as old patriarch's. They didn't feel any signs of life or breathing in the room. It was as if there was no one in the room.
After filtering his thoughts, Ginger knocked on the door and said, "Stop. We have something to discuss with you. Can we go in?" After a while, there was no response from the room. Just as Auden was about to push the door open, "What is it? Come in and talk."
Sure enough, this guy was slower than normal people by a beat. The two of them looked at each other and nodded. They pushed the door open and walked in.
The two of them were both experts. As it turned out that they didn't have any intentions, they didn't pay much attention to each and every one of their words and actions. After Qingtian's reminder, the two of them who had just entered the room immediately started to observe this' person 'in front of them.
Indeed! They didn't feel any heartbeat! No matter how skilled you were, at least you could make the people around you feel his heartbeat. And this guy actually didn't, he was completely a cold body. "It seems like what junior patriarch said is right." Thinking about it, the two of them immediately perked up. They were afraid that they would see something.
Afraid that Auden would spill the beans, Ginger was the first to speak. "I wonder what you thought about the patriarch's words just now?"
" Oh? I think you guys are tempted. That guy just used a few flowery words to move you guys. I won't believe his words. " Still not saying anything, a sinister voice came from within his body.
"Hmph, a corpse, of course you can't open your mouth. For the next test, I will know whether you are a human or a ghost!" Ginger continued, "Actually, we don't completely believe his words, but we can't be too cold. But now that we are on the same boat, I don't think there will be any problems. How about this, let's do the simplest thing and make an oath. Prove that the three of us will advance and retreat together on this matter." As he spoke, Ginger took out a dagger and extended his left hand.
The vow on this continent was usually to use a dagger to cut his own palm, which was very painful. However, it also reminded people not to forget their vow. Everyone would do this when they swore. The way to lift the sky was to make the three of them swear. He wanted to see if there was any blood that could flow.
Auden, who was standing at the side, added fuel to the fire. "Alright, I think this is a good thing. As long as we swear to advance and retreat together, even if all the forces on the continent come and attack us, it's nothing. With the three of us together, we can defeat anything. " As he spoke, he also took out a saber. He placed it on his left hand.
After a while, Duan spoke again: "I'm afraid there's no need to do this? Even such a small matter requires an oath. Don't you think it's a little child's play? "
"Of course not, this oath is just to help the three of us unite together. There's absolutely no other meaning." Ginger continued to force him. He believed that this fellow would not be able to escape this fate no matter what.
"Alright then." After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind. He took out a dagger and slowly reached out his left hand. His left hand was completely bloodless. It looked like a mummy's arm.
"Alright, I, Ginger, swear in the name of the city lord of Cinnuth, that during this period of time, the three of us must be united until the plan ends." As he spoke, he cut the heart of his left hand, and blood immediately flowed out.
"I, Auden, swear in the name of the City Lord of the Hansenberg, that we will fight our enemies together, and the three of us will fight the outside world together." After saying that, he also cut his left hand. This man was obviously too energetic. The moment he cut his left hand open, fresh blood immediately spouted out a long distance.
Finally, it was his turn to break. The two of them looked at him with anticipation. Their four eyes were staring at him closely, afraid that they would miss out on every detail.
Sure enough, Broken also swore a few meaningless oaths. He picked up the dagger with his right hand and cut at his left hand.
"There's no blood! There really is no blood!" Ginger and Auden were very surprised. They suppressed their excitement and panic. When they saw the cut, it was as if nothing had happened. They simply ignored the hand that had just been cut.
"This guy really isn't human!" Thinking of this, Ginger did not like to stay around him. He quickly said, "Since everyone has made an oath, then I'm relieved. We still need to return to that kid's side and observe his every move. Once we find a flaw, we will immediately take measures!" After saying that, he glanced at Auden.
"That's right. Why don't you come with us?" Auden asked tentatively.
"No, I need to stay for a while. You guys can go." The words were exactly what they wanted. Thus, the two of them immediately went out and headed towards the place just now.
When they saw them go out, they did not say another word and directly laid on the bed without making any sound. He did not have the slightest bit of doubt about what happened just now.
The two of them ran to Qingtian. "Brother, it is as you said. This guy cut his left hand. However, not a single drop of blood flowed out. He's not human at all! " Auden said first.
Ginger, who was standing at the side, also nodded his head, proving what he had said.
"As expected, it seems like my idea is correct." After some effort, Qingtian finally made the two of them doubt each other.
"Brother, quickly tell us your guess. I think this person who is neither human nor ghost will not tell us the truth." Auden was a little anxious because he saw the worry on Qingtian's face.
"I remember that there is a small power in the middle of your three families. It is called Ogren City, right?" Qingtian asked even though he knew the answer.
"Yes, you mean..." Ginger couldn't believe what Tian Qingtian was thinking.
"Both of you are with me now, and Duan's true body should still be in Ivano City. I don't need to say anything more, you should already know what will happen next, right?" Qingtian finally said his' guess'.
"What? This bastard! I won't let him off! " Thinking of the current situation, Auden not only cursed. On the other hand, Ginger remained silent, but his expression didn't look good either.
On the other side, Duan had no idea that his two allies had unknowingly become enemies!
