Gentle Sleep Instructor
Chapter 579 Kidnappers
At this point, deceiving a dying man was indeed not Number 3's style.
Pi Ruan retracted his gaze, a rare look of seriousness on his face. "Judging from the level of information leaked, the other party has a very high position in Deep Crimson. They can even successfully hunt Number 5 based on the information."
"The source of the leak can only be from a few of us. Not you, not me, so it can only be Number 2, or even Number 1."
Luo He seemed to have realized this long ago, and there wasn't much surprise on his face. "I don't deny wanting to attack Zero, but I would never do it."
"But if Number 1 or Number 2 wants to attack Zero, I won't stop them."
"Hmph." Pi Ruan seemed to have thought of something and snorted coldly, saying, "What do you think Zero is? Someone you can kill whenever you want? Don't forget, if it weren't for him, all of us would have died in that siege twenty years ago."
"But now the door in his body is dormant. Mr. Ling explored it last time and could only sense scattered fragments. Even so, do you still think he has a chance to survive?" Luo He knew the methods of Number 1 and Number 2. If they wanted to kill someone, they rarely lived to see the next day.
Hearing this, Pi Ruan narrowed his eyes, his mouth grinning into a meaningful smile. "Of course, Zero can't do it alone, but don't forget, there's more than one door in his body."
"That Wu?" Luo He raised his eyebrows, put down his teacup, and looked at Pi Ruan. "Number 4, your ability isn't suited for combat. He can restrain you, but he may not be able to restrain Number 1 and Number 2."
"Then let them try." Pi Ruan seemed confident.
Hearing this, Luo He seemed to realize something. "It seems you've kept some incredible information about that Wu."
Since Wu's door entered Zero's body, they hadn't received any abnormal intelligence, as if Wu's door had also fallen into dormancy.
This was very unusual.
After a few seconds, Luo He's blue eyes suddenly glowed. Wan Yuan Ning, who also had the Luo family bloodline, also had a pair of sapphire blue eyes.
But the difference was that the latter's eyes could only penetrate darkness and see in the night.
As a member of the Abyss Project, Luo He's eyes could not only penetrate darkness, but also break through the mist and dispel illusions.
This was related to his ability.
Originating from the door in his body.
"Is... Wu aware of the door dormant in Zero's body?" Luo He's eyes paused. "He's also looking for that door."
"Don't forget that Zero doesn't belong to our world in the first place." Pi Ruan said, "For Wu, the door in Zero's body is more like an origin."
"No one can refuse the temptation of the origin. Whoever controls that door controls the key."
"The Night Watchers are, and Deep Crimson is too. For Wu, there is no essential difference between us."
"So... you found Zero a free bodyguard?" Luo He's voice barely fluctuated. He seemed to be suppressing the impulse in his heart.
"Sort of." Pi Ruan smiled. "But I think the word 'kidnapper' is more appropriate. After all, a bodyguard won't harm the employer, but if a kidnapper doesn't get what they want, they'll tear up the ticket."
"What exactly is Wu's ability?" Luo He became interested in Wu for the first time. Number 4 wasn't known for fighting within Deep Crimson; he was a strategist.
Since he chose Wu as Zero's trump card, then this Wu was definitely not simple.
For the uncanny, the most terrifying thing was ability.
"Collection." Pi Ruan sat up straight and stared at Luo He. "He has a comic book, similar to your book, but the ability is to collect captured ghosts into the book."
"Is that all?" Luo He didn't think there was anything special about it.
"Then, he can master the abilities of the ghosts in the book." Pi Ruan continued, "Even manipulate them and turn them into new weird tales."
Although they were both uncanny, Wu's initial value might be average, but his growth was quite terrifying. After all, when fighting other disciples with doors of the uncanny, you only needed to be wary of one of his abilities, but when fighting Wu, you had no idea how many strange abilities he had waiting for you.
One careless move, and you'd fall for his trick.
Fortunately, for the time being, the degree of fusion between Wu and Zero wasn't high, and it wasn't easy for him to borrow Wu's power.
"I advise you not to have any crooked ideas about strangling him while Zero and Wu haven't fused yet." Pi Ruan said, "I have a feeling that the relationship between Wu and Zero isn't as bad as you think. When it really comes to life and death, Wu will definitely step in to protect him."
"After all, if the hostage dies, who is he going to ask for ransom from?" Pi Ruan said casually.
"I fought Wu in a dungeon. He used at most 50% of his strength to deal with me. The only one of us who has a chance to win against him head-on is Number 6."
"Number 1 and Number 2 might be able to use some tricks, but Number 3, you can't." He glanced to the side. A girl was sleeping on the bed, her features exquisite. If she didn't open her mouth to curse, she would look like a cute doll. "Unless you can persuade Number 8 to join you, but you also know that's impossible."
Although Pi Ruan's words weren't pleasant, Luo He had to admit that every word he said was true and correct.
He was analyzing the pros and cons, the situation, rather than standing on the position of one side.
That kind of person was the most terrifying.
He was flying the flag of doing it for your own good, and unknowingly, he had already paved a path for you, and all you had to do was walk according to his requirements.
Now he finally understood why Number 4 was sent to be an undercover agent by Zero's side, not only because of his disguise ability, but also his intelligence.
There weren't many people in this world who could deceive Zero and gain his trust.
"Good move!" Luo He said in a low voice.
Pi Ruan waved his hand indifferently, knowing that Luo He's words were both about Wu's ability and his recognition of his layout ability.
They of Deep Crimson had all come from the Night Watchers, the elites selected from the Abyss Project, and half of them were former S-ranks.
They couldn't do anything about Wu, so the situation among the Night Watchers wouldn't be good either. After all, that siege twenty years ago had exhausted their elite forces.
The top combat power had been exhausted in their desperate counterattack, and the remaining masters were also facing the door's crazy backlash.
In this way, Zero was indeed in a relatively safe environment.
"Hmm?"
Luo He, who was thinking, seemed to be interrupted by some special situation, and his blue eyes looked towards the wall.
He seemed to be able to see the situation outside through the wall.
