Lin Wu said calmly: "Remember to ask her to come to me early."

The man looked at her one last time, hummed and went out.

In the evening, someone finally went upstairs to report Lin Wu that Ling Xiu was here.

At that time, Lin Wu was still nesting in the guest bedroom and asked someone to bring Ling Xiu up.

She looked at the roster she brought from the study room. Most of the names on it had been crossed out and replaced by new ones.

As he watched, there was a knock on the door.

Before Lin Wu could respond, the visitor just opened the door and walked in.

Lin Wu also looked up and saw Ling Xiu standing at the door with a not very pretty face.

"Not coming in?" Lin Wu raised his eyebrows.

Ling Xiu tightened her grip on the door handle and said, "I heard from the deputy city lord that you want me to enter the 18th floor of the Ice Prison with you."

Lin Wu closed the roster, "It seems he has told you almost everything. Do you know what is on the eighteenth floor of the Ice Prison?"

Ling Xiu nodded.

Lin Wu then asked, "What do you think? Do you want to go with me?"

Ling Xiu took a moment and said, "Can I refuse?"

Lin Wu asked, "Why refuse?"

Ling Xiu said calmly: "No one wants to risk death. If I go and see the city lord, the city lord will understand that I betrayed him. Maybe, I will die in front of you. I am not a mysterious master, and there is no such thing as you I am sure I can live longer in it.”

Lin Wu put the roster aside and said, "I won't force you. But, will Fan allow you to stay?"

Ling Xiu's face turned gloomy.

Lin Wu calmed down and said, "Oh, it seems that you have mentioned it to Fan, but he rejected you and told you to go. Let me guess why."

"Seeing that you look so bad, and you delayed coming until now - tsk, could it be that you haven't found the city lord's order? Fan tortured Mo Lang and couldn't find out, and Mo Lang bit you back and said you knew, but you actually I have never seen the City Lord’s order, but Fan doesn’t believe you.”

"So he probably thinks that it is the best arrangement for you and me to go to the Ice Prison. Even if you really have the City Lord's Order, if you die there, the City Lord's Order will be useless. He will become the new City Lord and have a new City Lord's Order. Yeah?"

Ling Xiu was slightly stunned: "How did you know..."

She suddenly thought of something and her eyes changed.

"Do you know where the city lord's order is?!"

Lin Wu: "Please, to put it in general terms, the City Lord has been in this position for at least fifty years. He has much more knowledge and insight than you. Of course he will take good care of such an important thing as the City Lord's Order. How could he let you Easily found? Even if you find it, would you dare to use something that is easily obtained? Wouldn't you suspect that there is something wrong? "

Ling Xiu was silent for a moment.

Lin Wu looked at her and suddenly said: "I think Fan has told you why I want you. To be honest, I am very sorry that you and I have reached this point. Since we are both going to die, They are just grasshoppers on the same rope, forget what happened before."

Ling Xiu looked touched.

Lin Wu then said: "So, on the last night before leaving, how about we get some wine and have a chat?"

Ling Xiu looked at Lin Wu.

After a moment of silence, Ling Xiu turned around and left.

Lin Wu was not in a hurry and waited patiently. Sure enough, within five minutes, Ling Xiu came back with two bottles of fine red wine and several plates of appetizers.

After closing the door, the two of them sat on the ground in front of the window, facing each other.

The sky outside was dark, without a trace of moonlight or starlight.

There were only three dim yellow wall lamps turned on in the room, which made it look dim.

Lin Wu bit open the cork with his mouth, filled the two glasses, and pushed one of them to Ling Xiu.

Ling Xiu was about to stretch out his hand when Lin Wu said casually: "Take off everything you are carrying, including your ears, cufflinks, brooches, and hidden buckles on your belt."

Ling Xiu stopped suddenly. Lin Wu took a big sip by himself, wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth with his fingertips, and said, "I'm already like this, how can I stir up trouble? On the last night, I just want to reminisce about old times with people I'm still familiar with. I’ll be more willing to leave tomorrow. Isn’t this too much of a request and difficult to satisfy?”

Ling Xiu stared at her, then tilted her head slightly, as if some instructions were coming from the device in her ears.

Ling Xiu tapped it with his hand, then took it off one by one and threw it into the trash can.

Lin Wu glanced at me and said, "With so many, you really think highly of me."

Ling Xiu said: "As I said, you are being too modest. A few years ago you were able to leave Killer City under those circumstances, but now you are not at the end of your rope. It would be the stupidest thing to let down your guard. "

"What about you?" Lin Wu asked suddenly.

"……I?"

"Sister Lingxiu, you work for the city lord because what the city lord did to you a few years ago made you realize that the city lord could easily crush you to death, and you don't want to experience it again, do you?" Lin Wu said.

Ling Xiu nodded after a while.

Lin Wu said: "What about Fan? You did things for him because you really wanted to release your control, and the method he gave may work. Do you hope to regain your freedom through this?"

Ling Xiu hummed lightly.

Lin Wu reached out to clink glasses, and amid the soft "ding-dong" sound, he said coldly: "But he wants you to die now, do you still want to do things for him?"

Ling Xiu stared at him for a moment, "What do you mean?"

Lin Wu smiled.

She usually has a face that is expressionless and cold, and because she is so imposing, it is easy for others to ignore her. It turns out that she looks very good and innocent, making people unable to be cautious.

Ling Xiu was stunned for a moment.

But what Lin Wu said the next moment made her expression change slightly.

"I don't want to die either, but as long as Fan is here, you and I will inevitably die, and we won't be able to take the initiative. How about this, Sister Lingxiu, let's get rid of Fan together and take over this island."

Ling Xiu said solemnly: "Are you kidding? He is the deputy city lord. Now the island is basically his people and under his actual control! Even without these people, he himself is extremely difficult to get close to and cannot take action. He I’m also wary of you, and you can’t do anything. Not to mention, there aren’t many people I can use, and there aren’t many you can use!”

Lin Wu said calmly: "Sister Lingxiu, you don't have to worry about this. You just need to tell me, do you want to get rid of him? Or will you continue to be controlled by him like you are now?"

Ling Xiu said nothing.

Lin Wu took another sip and said: "Help him, he wants you to die. Even if you don't go, I can't guarantee that you can solve this control and hold the city lord back. You have been following the city lord for so long, it should be very long." You know the city lord. As long as the city lord is still alive, even if there is only one breath left, you are still in danger. When the city lord comes to reckon with you, you will still die. People are dying on both sides, why do you want to help Fan?"

Ling Xiu said in a deep voice: "The deputy city lord said that as long as the city lord is seriously injured, then..."

Lin Wu said categorically: "The city lord cannot remain seriously injured. He will definitely get better. You can't stop him at all."

Ling Xiu was startled: "How do you know?"

"...I can't tell you for the time being, but I can guarantee that the city lord's self-healing ability is beyond your imagination. If Ren Ke were here, she would tell you the same thing. If you want the city lord to remain seriously injured for a long time, you are Wishful thinking." Lin Wu said.

Ling Xiu frowned and looked at Lin Wu.

Lin Wu finally said: "Sister Lingxiu, let's stop pretending. You know that the city lord and I met in private."

Ling Xiu tightened his grip on the wine glass in his hand.

Lin Wu said: "The city lord guessed it right. After I learned so much from Fan, what I want has really changed now. So even if I enter the ice prison, I will not hurt the city lord. I even have a way to save the city lord and let him He recovered and was no longer weak.”

"When the city lord comes out, you will be finished. Therefore, Fan will definitely fail, and you will definitely die if you follow him."

Ling Xiu's pupils shrank: "You can restore the city lord? How is this possible?! And why did you change your mind? Don't you want to solve this control?"

"The former, I still can't answer you. As for the latter," Lin Wu paused, "To be honest, I am still confused. Maybe I will understand everything when I see the city lord himself. But before that, I have to Guaranteed no worries.”

"So, I must capture this island!"

She raised her hand again, touched Lingxiu's cup, raised her eyebrows and said, "If you don't want to die, sister Lingxiu, there is only one way - help me."
