i'm the villain

Chapter 767 Hostage
……

"So you said to find someone to understand the situation, is he?"

Barnes stood behind Luo Yang.

"Yes, what's the problem?" Luo Yang spread his hands.

……

At this time, the two of them were standing in the office of the CEO of New Phoenix Company.

The middle-aged man sitting across from them with his legs crossed was once the most famous technology entrepreneur in the world.

Rael Adam.

……

Adam looked at Luo Yang and Barnes and asked.

"coffee?"

"No."

"Just drank it."

Both Barnes and Luo Yang shook their heads.

"Then you must be looking for something else... Oh yes, it's been a long time since I saw you. I thought you were dead long ago." Rael greeted Barnes.

"Almost." Barnes nodded lightly.

"So you just lost one eyeball. It's a coincidence to say that, my hands are not very sharp now..."

……

"Hey, stop, you two started chatting? I didn't come to see you chatting." Luo Yang interrupted Barnes and Rael's chat.

He sat down on Rael's desk and said seriously: "I want all the specific information about what happened in the sixth district a few hours ago."

Rael blinked.

He put down the coffee cup in his hand, and said with a strange expression: "Information, what do you mean?"

"This." Barnes pushed the tablet in front of Rael.

What is displayed on the computer screen is the news content previously released by the official.

"Hey wait, this is what you want to know?" Leyl looked at Luo Yang.

"Otherwise?" Luo Yang asked back.

Leel touched his gray and white beard and said, "I thought you guys did this."

"Well, in theory, it was indeed our plan, but the situation is more complicated. This is part of our people responsible for the implementation, but this one-eyed man and I went to work on another matter, and we just came back now... In short, it is more difficult to explain. It's complicated, you just need to tell me what's going on with the Welsh engineer." Luo Yang didn't intend to explain the time jump to Leier, and it took only a few hours to explain the cause and effect of this kind of thing. of.

"Then..." Rael nodded with a vague understanding.

"You really don't know anything?"

"You really think we're here to drink coffee with you?" Luo Yang spread his hands.

"Okay." Rael nodded.

……

Rael quickly began to call up information from his computer system.

A lot of documents began to bounce out of his desk.

Luo Yang and Barnes stood beside them with their arms crossed.

He reached out and clicked a certain control button on Leyle's desktop, and then a cup of coffee rose on the desktop.

Luo Yang smiled and said to Barnes: "I suggest that you add this function when you install mechanical limbs for yourself next time."

"Can consider it."

Barnes nodded calmly.

……

Beside, Rael rolled his eyes.

After pulling out all the information, he said to Luo Yang: "The above are all the information that the military currently has."

"Although I don't know exactly what you did in the sixth district, but the Welsh energy system was destroyed, which you have done quite successfully, but on the other hand, it is the thing you said about the Welsh engineer , it seems that your people have encountered some troubles." Leil pointed to the virtual screen in the air and said.

"That... Hunter, that's what it's called. I'm not very familiar with other free people organizations in District [-], but if I remember correctly, it's called Hunter Organization. It seems to be the girl who followed you two years ago. " Rael called up some picture materials: "This is the information transmitted by the Weil people to the military. This should be the girl named Bonnie. She is now in the hands of the Weir people and has been captured alive."

"It's about the same as what I guessed." Luo Yang shrugged.

"Why didn't the Weirs kill her?" Barnes asked.

Obviously, he is aware of the Weir people's style of work. To this race, the earthlings are just low-level creatures to them, and they will be obliterated sooner or later.

"Because the hunter organization didn't kill that engineer?" Luo Yang said looking at the virtual screen in the air.

"Yes." Rael nodded, "The girl's subordinates are not stupid, they took away the Welsh engineer and didn't kill them directly, so it's considered that they have held each other's hostages. .”

"Where's the engineer?" Barnes asked.

"They're missing. They're hiding well. The entire military is trying to find them, but there's no news at all. We don't even know if they're hiding in the sixth district or the human realm." Rael shook his head.

"No wonder the Welsh people transmitted Bonnie's information to the military." Luo Yang was stunned.

He looked at the miserable appearance of Bonnie nailed to the wall by many metal spikes on the screen, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.

This may be the first positive dialogue between Welsh and the military in two years.

"They're trying to trade that engineer by holding Bonnie?" Barnes surmised.

"Fool, why would the military care about her life~" Luo Yang rolled his eyes.

"But the military really wants to know where the engineer is." Rael said lightly.

"So the military doesn't know anything, right?" Luo Yang spread his hands.

"That's all I know so far." Leyle nodded and said, "As far as I'm concerned, I only know this."

"Then you are really useless, goodbye."

Luo Yang waved his hands boredly, turned around and was about to walk out of Leier's office.

But before he walked out, Rael asked him loudly: "I'm more curious about what you will do next?"

And Luo Yang was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with the other party.

There is no solid cooperative relationship between him and Rael, which is even more fragile than the relationship between him and Barnes. Even if the two reached a certain consensus before that, it does not mean that Luo Yang and Rael is on the same side.

"Save the girl first?"

"Or find that engineer?"

Leier continued to ask Luo Yang from behind.

"I suggest you kill the engineer first, you should know more about which is more important than me, and next time, don't f*cking press the system on my desk!"

"boom!"

The door of the office was closed by Barnes.

……

And Leier didn't intend to prevent Luo Yang from leaving.

The way he does things now is very different from what he used to do.

Rael no longer fully abides by the rules, and many of his behaviors are above the rules. For him, the official suppression is gradually weakened imperceptibly.

He is now the leader of the new Phoenix company.

And in his own mind, only he knows what the new Phoenix company's position is.

……

Luo Yang and Barnes walked swaggeringly in the corridor of the new Phoenix company's base.

They don't worry about their whereabouts being exposed at all.

At this time, the two of them are completely invisible in the surveillance system of the entire New Phoenix Company.

Under Rael's operation, the system ignored the existence of these two people inside the base.

Compared with Luo Yang and Barnes, if they are exposed, Leyle will bear a higher risk, so Luo Yang is very calm, and Leyle will cooperate to clean up the traces for the two of them.

even……

Provide mobility machines.

……

"Look, when you cooperated with him before, you didn't get such a good treatment, did you?"

On the top floor of the New Phoenix company base, Luo Yang pointed to the stealth fighter Rael had prepared for the two of them and said to Barnes.

"good."

Barnes was too lazy to talk nonsense with Luo Yang, he directly boarded the fighter plane.

The two left New Phoenix Company as quickly as possible.

The information they need to know on this trip is very clear.

After their actions, the Welsh suffered heavy losses, but even so, they and the military still did not go to war. This was beyond Luo Yang's expectations. How nice it is to be able to calm down and try to negotiate with the military.

But in fact, if you look at it from the perspective of the Welsh people, there is nothing wrong with it.

Their army is incomplete, or it should be said that what the Weirs ultimately want is not to completely control the earth at this stage, but to maintain the integrity of their entire ethnic group, because the purpose of plundering the earth's resources is to continue If they plunder the life of the race, if they cannot allow more than half of the other races to enter the earth, their losses will be very heavy. Even if they completely devour the resources of the earth, they will not be able to make up for the loss of more than half of their clansmen.

This account is not difficult to calculate.

But within two years, the Weirs still didn't seem to understand the nature of human beings.

They actually thought that the leader of a hunter organization could make humans hand over their engineers...

You must know that if a person like Bonnie stepped out of the sixth district, she would be tried by the Supreme Court. In the Human Act, she is no longer a member of this race.

Apparently, the Weirs still don't understand how serious the division within human beings is.

……

Stealth fighters are heading towards the sixth area at high speed.

Along the way, Barnes has been reading the information given by Rael.

……

Although there were only a few words of communication, it can be seen that the military did not know anything about the actions of Bonnie's team.

After all, it's only been a few hours.

Luo Yang didn't think that the hunters under Bonnie could send the Welsh engineers out of the sixth district in such a short period of time, so everything that followed would still only be carried out within the sixth district.

This is a restricted area for humans.

But since people like Luo Yang and Barnes have been eliminated from the human race by the Human Act, they don't care where they are.

Instead, the sixth district is where they are freest.

And the military did not dare to take any large-scale actions against the sixth district.

Once it is done, it is a signal for war.

Just like the battle two years ago, Luo Yang became the biggest sinner in the new century because he chose to take the initiative to fight against the Welsh army. This kind of title is not something that just anyone dares to bear. No one wants to be the second culprit. This rare state of stalemate at this stage is what the United Council most wishes to see.

……

"So, shall we go directly to the originally agreed position?" Barnes asked Luo Yang.

The two of them are now heading to the sixth district at top speed.

Before all the actions started, that is to say, at this time yesterday, according to the plan they formulated, if everything goes smoothly, Luo Yang's team will successfully return from the timeline two years ago, and Bonnie's team will also assassinate Engineers, all will gather at one of the Hunters' secret outposts.

But the problem now is that Bonnie didn't complete her task perfectly. She is now in the hands of the Wills, and the engineer is in the hands of those members under her.

Although I don't know what exactly happened during the actual battle, it is obvious that the reason why the engineer was not killed directly should have a lot to do with Bonnie being captured.

As long as the Engineer is in his hands, the Welsh won't kill Bonnie for a while.

This should be the thinking of the rest of the hunters.

……

However, what Barnes meant by asking this sentence was not really asking for Luo Yang's opinion on the destination. What he meant by asking this sentence was actually similar to the question Leyle asked when the two left New Phoenix.

Find an engineer first, or save people first.

For the joint council and the military, Bonnie's life and death are completely irrelevant. They just need to ensure that the engineer dies.

And for Barnes, the same is true.

At least that's the attitude he showed.

But what Luo Yang was thinking, he didn't know.

After all, he is a person who does his own way through and through, and has always been like this.

So Barnes was very curious about Luo Yang's plan, and he needed to figure out this guy's attitude.

……

"Ah, otherwise, do you have a better suggestion?" Luo Yang looked at Barnes as a matter of course.

"Aren't you going to save your little girlfriend first?" Barnes narrowed his only remaining eye.

"Of course." The corner of Luo Yang's mouth twitched.

"But she still can't die now, can she." There was no serious expression on his face, but surprisingly flat.

Barnes didn't bother to speculate on what the guy was thinking.

Maybe Luo Yang didn't care much about the girl's life at all, maybe he had other plans, but at least the current situation was acceptable to Barnes.

They've straightened the entire timeline.

And the key person who will restart the wormhole in the short term is now missing.

This is much easier than the original situation where various crises were on the verge of easing.

……

"What if we find the engineer first?" Barnes glanced at Luo Yang.

"What are you thinking, do you think we can find that guy so easily?" Luo Yang looked at Barnes inexplicably.

"Oh."

Barnes responded lightly and stopped talking.
