Page 278 [Gambling]
The party is in the evening.
In an inconspicuous tavern.
In the lobby, which had closed early, the surrounding windows were covered with curtains, leaving only a lone lamp in the middle burning faintly on a long table.
The whole space looks like shadows.
In addition, all the participants were wearing thick black robes, making the whole scene look like some evil ritual of some secret religion.
"We finally meet, everyone." A man in black robes sitting at the top of the table spoke first.
His voice was high and low, weak and strong, yin and yang, making it completely unclear whether he was a boy or a girl, old or young.
But this is the most basic disguise, and no one present will reveal it, even if they actually know exactly who the other people are.
"Let's finish it quickly. This is not an interesting dinner party." Another man in black robe used the same voice processing method, which made people confused at all.
But he was obviously more anxious.
"What did you say?" The third person looked very indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Do you have anything to say about what happened yesterday?" At this time, someone stood up and took charge of the overall situation.
The original intention of this adventurous gathering was to unite the efforts of all members and to express their attitude towards yesterday's incident to Chen Senran.
"Tell me, what's there to say?" Someone immediately expressed his disdain. He was really disdainful. You could feel the aura even in the voice that changed between yin and yang.
"What do you mean?" Where there is offense, there is defense. Immediately following the man's words, someone jumped out and grabbed his painful foot.
"Do you mean..." The seventh person was preparing to say something with ill intentions.
"Okay, everyone, stop arguing. We're not here to argue. What's the point of making noise like this?" The eighth person came out to be the peacemaker again.
As for the ninth person, Chen Senran just watched them quietly showing off their acting skills, unmoved.
"I have already found out that what happened yesterday was done by LeBlanc." The eighth person continued. But before he could finish speaking, those who always liked to hold objections jumped out again.
"Then why is he sitting here?" This sentence was quite rude.
He was just asking why Chen Senran could attend this party without killing LeBlanc.
"He has succeeded, but LeBlanc is too cunning." This time, it was naturally Swain who spoke.
He is now on the same front as Chen Senran, because he has seen the incredible secret.
"Hmph, who knows if he is..." Those people were naturally unwilling to let Chen Senran go easily, and some people still jumped out to question him.
"Okay, Anne was assassinated, which is enough to prove that he really did it, but LeBlanc was just too cunning." He was still the peacemaker, continuing to smooth things over.
"Oh? Then why did LeBlanc go back to assassinate Annie?" The second, extremely pointed question, I almost didn't ask Chen Senran, why didn't you jump out?
This is already a naked test of Chen Senran's true identity. In fact, everyone here almost thinks that Blind Jack is Chen Senran.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be so nervous if Anne was assassinated.
In other words, is that why someone assassinated Anne?
The whole place was silent.
Only the lone lamp in the center is burning.
Quiet, very quiet.
It was quiet, not even the sound of a heartbeat.
The whole tavern was like a ghost land.
"Chen Senran. I know you are here. Come forward. Why bother hiding?" Someone finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted provocatively.
But Chen Senran ignored him.
No one paid any attention to him.
"My own woman was almost killed, but you can still sit still. A man like you..." This man refused to stop, and kept saying ugly words, "Just be a coward."
However, Chen Senran still ignored him.
Poor provocation.
Chen Senran commented in his heart.
"Does anyone know where LeBlanc is?" After a long silence, Chen Senran finally spoke.
"I know." Almost at the same moment, another person who had not spoken before answered Chen Senran.
At that moment, Chen Senran and him looked at each other.
Even with his eyes closed, he could still feel the surging pressure coming from under the black robe, as well as a hint of familiarity.
"Where?"
"At Jericho's house."
"What do you plan to do?" Chen Senran asked naturally. This was also a test, and at the same time, it was also a risky move.
"Of course we will kill LeBlanc." The person who provided the information said firmly.
This time, unexpectedly, no one objected.
"I agree to kill LeBlanc..."
"I also agree..."
"But..." Someone finally said, "I think there is another thing we can do together."
"What's the matter?" someone asked.
"Let the Gray Order submit its name." As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent again.
This really reversed Chen Senran's army and suddenly forced Chen Senran into an embarrassing situation.
"But, what if Old Hastur is not willing?" The situation was awkward, so naturally someone came to the rescue.
"Our ten alliances are all bigger than the parliament, right? Does he dare to agree?"
"If you don't agree, you will be killed."
This is another provocation to Chen Senran.
But unexpectedly——————
"You dare?"
"You dare?"
"You dare?" Almost three voices sounded at the same time, making it impossible to tell which one came first and which one came last.
"Then let's try it first, otherwise, it will be in vain if we delay it any longer." Those people no longer provoked, but changed their tone and said, "I believe that everyone will not want to come to this Summoner's Rift Conference again next year.
Alright?"
This time, everyone present fell silent.
It's the default.
"So, is that settled?"
So it was decided.
When the show ended, Chen Senran and Swain walked together again.
"Isn't your gamble too risky?" Swain walked for a while and suddenly said.
"Is it dangerous?" Chen Senran shook his head, but stopped talking and didn't know what he meant.
"By the way, Lissandra, what is her certificate of surrender?" After a while, Chen Senran asked again.
"She..." Swain's voice was hesitant, or weird. He paused for a long time, and finally said, "She... is actually the initiator of the entire alliance."
"She is... the initiator?" Chen Senran said oh and stopped talking.
Soon, he disappeared into the night.
The whole night was as thick as ink.
