Chapter 1520: Negotiation (2)
It seemed as if something invisible was beside them.
More like it emerged from the void.
It started to burn directly.
An arm blocked the translucent virtual apparition.
An arm reached for that tiny conch.
As the deputy commander of the ‘Freedom Army,’ Andek had quite rich combat experience and wouldn’t underestimate any opponent.
Especially when facing scoundrels like ‘Jing.’
He knew that ‘Jing’ appearing absolutely wasn’t merely to mock them.
There must be some purpose behind it.
However, in this room right before him, aside from a set of equipment capable of contacting ‘Uptown,’ there’s nothing worth paying attention to.Therefore, Andek had long set up a smoke arm just in case.
As for the smoke arm in front of the shelf?
That was entirely out of being cautious.
Since ‘Jing’ placed some things there.
Perhaps they might be important.
It’s never wrong to prepare a backup.
In fact, it was just like this.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Andek thought very thoroughly.
But, as the deputy commander of the ‘Freedom Army,’ he still underestimated ‘Jing’s cunning.
The already shaking translucent apparition burned to ashes under the blockade of a flame arm.
The tiny conch was also caught by another arm.
Yet, at the same time, a shadow hidden on the shelf shot towards the wall.
The shadow was less than ten centimeters from the wall.
You could call it extremely close.
This shadow appeared very abruptly, even Andek didn’t notice.
More importantly, the shadow was too small.
Like the size of a date.
It was completely unexpected.
But, just when the shadow was about to touch the wall—
Yi!
A silver slash swept straight across the shadow.
Suddenly, the shadow split into two.
Fell to the ground.
"This, this is…”
"Eyeball?!”
Lauren Delder supported the ‘old man’, when he saw clearly the shadow fallen on the ground, he couldn’t help but frown.
Eyeballs aren’t rare.
Everyone has two.
What’s rare is an eyeball that can move independently, clearly carrying consciousness.
That’s right!
Carrying consciousness!
Because, at this time, the eyeball cut into halves was still twitching on the ground.
The sound from the vibrating air rang out.
"Jason!”
It was still ‘Jing’s voice.
However, unlike the usual slow tone, there was now panic and frustration.
Moreover, the eyeball that was cut into two halves sprouted fine tentacles.
These tentacles collided and fused one by one.
Even the eyeball that was split into two was on the brink of restoring.
And Jason?
He raised his hand and a cone-shaped flame emerged.
Whoosh!
Amidst the burning blaze, ‘Jing’s voice completely vanished.
"Is this ‘Jing’s eye?”
Lauren Delder asked.
Lauren Delder, who had a superficial understanding of ‘Mystical Side Knowledge’, was now completely confused.
He couldn’t understand why ‘Jing’ would leave one of his eyes here.
Moreover, he deployed guardians.
However, since there were guardians, it indicated this eye was precious.
What Lauren Delder understood was naturally comprehended by everyone present.
Only the ‘old man’ didn’t understand the purpose of this eye.
Calming down, Euler looked at the shelf thoughtfully.
Or rather, the set of equipment directly opposite the shelf meant for ‘Uptown’ connection.
"Peering?”
Andek questioned Jason.
"Hmm.”
"Peering.”
"But if we’re serious, it should be ‘monitoring.’
Jason supplemented.
"Monitoring?”
The ‘old man’ hesitated before reacting.
"While ‘Jing’ was contacting ‘Uptown,’ he let this eye peer, allowing the eye’s ‘master’ to understand the movements of ‘Uptown,’ while also letting the other party fully trust ‘Jing.'”
The ‘old man’ said, then took a deep breath.
Rarely angry, the ‘old man’ now found it hard to suppress his ire.
"What does it mean?”
Lauren Delder scratched his translucent scalp.
He still didn’t understand.
However, when you don’t understand something, ask.
Having developed this good habit, Lauren Delder felt no shame or embarrassment.
“‘Jing’ had contacts with the invaders from the 30th district.”
"This ‘eye’ should have been given to ‘Jing’ by those invaders.”
The ‘old man’ explained.
Hiss!
Lauren Delder took a sharp breath.
After all, this was ‘Jing’s room.
The bed and washroom were all here.
Just the thought of someone watching her eat, sleep, and bathe made Lauren Delder feel completely uneasy.
Not to mention, it was under the premise of knowing about it.
This…
Is simply,
"Perverted, right?”
Lauren Delder voiced this evaluation.
It also matched everyone’s thoughts present.
"However, seeing how this bastard guards this ‘eyeball’ so closely, it shows that the ‘eyeball’ is very important.”
"Who knows, if he loses this ‘eyeball’, his master in Zone 30 might spank his ass hard.”
"I wonder if ‘Jing’ this bastard will cry out in pain.”
Lauren Delder grinned at the scorched eyeball on the floor.
‘Old man’ also chuckled along.
"Whether the master from Zone 30 spanks his ass or not, I don’t know if he will cry out.”
"But, if the Uptown master spanks his ass, it will definitely hurt.”
Jason pointed at the scorched eyeball on the ground, then took a quick walk around the room, ensuring there was nothing worthy of notice before looking at Andek and pointed at the set of communication equipment.
"Can you handle it?”
Jason asked.
"Of course.”
Andek smiled and started fiddling with it.
"In a bit, I’ll need you to cooperate with me once.”
Jason added.
"As long as it doesn’t go against my bottom line in my heart.”
Andek replied.
"It definitely won’t.”
Jason assured.
A few minutes later, the debugging was quickly completed.
The screen lit up once again.
A silhouette sitting behind a desk appeared inside.
Upon seeing Jason and the others, the silhouette was clearly startled.
"Where’s ‘Jing’?”
The silhouette asked.
"Defected.”
Jason answered.
"Defected?!”
"Impossible!”
"Are you… that ‘Jason’?!”
"The one who left ‘Uptown’?”
The silhouette first shouted in surprise, then seemed to recognize Jason’s identity.
‘Uptown’ resident?
Jason was not unfamiliar with this term, it originated from Lauren Delder’s self-association and then overheard by ‘Jing’, reported to ‘Uptown’.
However, what Jason didn’t expect was that ‘Uptown’ would actually acknowledge such a term.
Was it reported by ‘Jing’ and they didn’t care?
Or was the system of ‘Uptown’ not as perfect as imagined?
Jason leaned towards the latter.
After all, from the current situation, ‘Jing’ should still have some weight in the other party’s heart.
Of course, it is not excluded that the other party is just putting on a show.
"I am the Jason of ‘Nightless City’.”
Jason answered thus.
He truly was Jason of ‘Nightless City’.
And ‘Nightless City’ included Uptown and Lower City District.
Similarly, in his ‘hometown’, he didn’t go by the name Jason.
A double entendre.
Even with some secret technique detection, one can still get away with it.
"Heh, you abandoned your honor, just for those thugs and criminals in Lower City District?”
The silhouette sneered.
"What abandoned honor was ‘Jing’.”
"He’s been in contact with those invaders in Zone 30 from start to end.”
"Now he’s even planning to overthrow the whole ‘Nightless City’.”
Jason said.
The silhouette continued to sneer.
In a disbelief manner.
Jason then extended out his palm.
In the palm was a scorched eyeball.
Seeing the scorched eyeball, the silhouette’s body trembled.
Very faint.
But Jason saw it.
"This was discovered there.”
Jason added.
"So what?”
The silhouette still had a hard mouth, but the tone inevitably carried hesitation.
"Nothing much.”
"At worst, we die together.”
"We might die first, but eventually, everyone will meet in hell.”
Jason said, lifting his hand to turn off the communicator.
Then, he started counting silently.
“1…2…”
The number 3 hadn’t even been spoken yet.
The communicator rang once more.
