old dream

Chapter 368 The Return
Rui has a very typical Anhe appearance, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a nightman.However, he was indeed working for the dark river.

When he was in Gallo Hall, Colin once suspected that the person who saved him was another nightman half-breed.But after discovering that this person was Rui, he had to overthrow this guess.

Because of Rui's age, he was really too old.

Lenz broke the reproductive isolation between the night folk and humans unprecedentedly, so his eldest son "Colin" is the world's first night folk hybrid.

Therefore, the Yemin hybrid born later must be younger than himself.

But the appearance of Rui in front of him, no matter how you look at it, he is over 40 years old.

Then Colin felt that he might have fallen into some preconceived misunderstanding again.Because no one has ever said that everyone in the dark river must have the blood of Yemin.

For example, Lenz is a complete Sincilian, and he chose to become a member of Underworld in order to fulfill his family's long-cherished wish for hundreds of years.The Yemin also returned their trust to this alien race, almost making him the most important person on the entire Senal battlefield.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there are allies like Rui Rui among the members of the Dark River. Without them, it would be even more difficult for the Yemen to gain a foothold in the Western Continent, but I don't know why they chose to betray the alliance.

While thinking this way, Colin followed Rui into his hiding place.The appearance of the room was almost the same as the two safe houses that Colin lived in. The furniture was small and old, exuding an inexplicable and depressing atmosphere.It's not that the dark river prefers this kind of arrangement, but that most of the dwellings in Danaro are so cramped, just like their angry masters who can only lie at the dining table and whisper.

A pot of tea was boiling on the stove, already boiling, its cast-iron spout humming and screaming.Rui turned off the fire casually, and slowly poured the rich tea soup into the cup.Ke Lin had a feeling that this careful man might have known that there would be a visitor today and had been waiting here for a long time.

Without an explanation, Colin could roughly understand why Rui hid his identity from him.Rui Yi's task in Danalo should be to protect and support the agent, but this does not mean that he has to confess all this to the agent.The clues left by Rui are like some kind of ability test. Only when the other party meets the standard, is there a need for communication and cooperation.Otherwise, it would be better for everyone to keep the other party ignorant.

Agents are very important to Underworld, but their status is not necessarily high.For example, people like Ruy will only respect professional ability more.

"How long has it been?" asked Colin.

"Only counting the time in Danaro." Rui said: "Eight years."

eight years...

Nancy had been waiting in Stade for ten years, and in order to cooperate with her, Rui had been hiding in Danaro for eight years.That is to say, when the Senalese War just ended, they were already planning the situation of Danalo today.How many ten or eight years can a person have in his life?
Ke Lin found that the actions of the members of the Underworld always have a particularly exaggerated time scale, like the undercurrent in the underground cave, bit by bit, over the years.

"Nancy's plan has progressed so far...do you think it's going well?" Colin asked.

"Basically consistent with expectations." Rui said:

"If it wasn't for the unexpected appearance of Priest Kane, I'm afraid it will take more effort to find the location of the Holy Spirit in the canopy." At this moment, Rui blew away the hot air on the cup, and he watched the floating residue in the tea soup sink slowly At the bottom of the cup, it seems that the unknown road ahead also becomes clear:
"Nancy's theater ceremony has been going on so far, and the most difficult node has passed." He said:
"If Edmund can't even hold the position of a judge, then those scattered congressmen and jesters will not be able to hold it... But, how should I put it?"

His finger flicked the wall of the cup, and the vibration caused the broken tea leaves that had been quiet to rise again, floating in the cup.

"But something feels wrong, doesn't it," said Colin.

Rui looked at Colin.Sometimes, being too smooth is an anomaly.

"Do you have any other thoughts or plans?"

Rui thought for a while, then slowly shook his head.

Maybe something was wrong, but it was just a vague feeling after all.In fact, they have no way out, no matter what the situation is, they can only go on.

The big road map was determined ten years ago, and under the almost absolute power gap between the Principality and the Principality, everything needs to be arranged in advance.What's more, Danalo's current situation is turbulent, and the streets are full of secret police detectives, and they are not allowed to stop and reconsider.

"If you have no other plans, then you wait until Nancy recovers." Colin said:

"Or listen to my orders first."

Rui was taken aback when he heard this, and subconsciously asked:

"Is that what Nancy meant?"

"No, it's just my own plan."

"She didn't say you would take over..."

"Nancy Nancy, you mentioned Nancy several times, but you are not her subordinate, right." Colin said.

There is no strict hierarchical relationship between the members of Underworld, and all cooperation is spontaneous and proactive.

Only such a loose organization can ensure that they can continue their activities when they cannot communicate with each other for a long time, or even the central figure dies suddenly.

"Maybe you've bet everything on Nancy's plan for the past eight years. But no one can guarantee that the theater ceremony will be completed." Colin said:

"Since there are spare chips now, why don't you try betting on me?"

Nancy was injured, and the plan had been suspended.Idle is idle, but diversification always reduces risk.

What's more, Rui himself has the obligation to protect and support the agent.

"But even if you want to do something, Danalo's current environment..." Rui continued, but his words were slightly loosened.

"Of course Danalo can't do anything, but I didn't say I was in Danalo." Colin smiled, but his eyes became serious:

"I'm going to go back to Stade until Nancy recovers."

Stad... As the intelligence officer of the Investigation Department, Ruy of course knew what was there.The Stade Institute, the largest bootlegging organization in the world, is currently the most important source of income for Archduke Edmund.

At the same time, it is also the most unforgivable crime in the league.

And as the person who meticulously prepared a false identity for Colin, Rui naturally also heard about Colin's other identity from Nancy. ".

There is no doubt that Colin has too many secrets in Stade, but now he invites himself to go back with him, which is a kind of extremely high trust.

Might be worth a try.

Ruy sighed and asked:

"why me?"

"Because..." Colin said after thinking for a while, "Because you saved my life in Gallo Hall?"

In this strange Danaro, there are not many people that Colin can fully trust.

But he thinks Rui can be counted as one.
