"That'll do."
Sun Lang threw the shovel in his hand to the side. A huge hole had already been dug out in the clearing. He kicked the Death Messenger Blazing Angel into the hole and waved his hand, "Bury it."
Hu Shouxin pushed the piles of dirt back. The Lone Walker, who had been watching from the side, hesitated for a moment before coming to help.
With the help of this gigantic steel giant, their efficiency was greatly increased. The support holy soul Euphemia said while helping, "It's unbelievable. Humans are weak, small, and made of flesh and blood, but they defeated the steel bodies of the Blazing Angels … As a member of the Blazing Angels, I feel defeated and uneasy."
Sun Lang put his hands on his hips and smiled. "Do you want to avenge your comrade?"
Youfeller shook his head. "First, the odds are too low. Second, he's not a comrade.
This is Gabriel, the Death Messenger and the Horn of Doom. We come from the same origin, and now we're enemies. Sad, disappointed. "
Sun Lang looked up at the red glow in Euphemia's eyes. Even though there was no soul under the gigantic body and it was just a logical module running according to the program, Sun Lang was still used to talking to it as a personality. He said, "As far as I know, the auxiliary holy soul is not only the comrade-in-arms and helpers of the Flame Guardians, but also the watchers and guides. The logic of the auxiliary holy soul's actions is strictly set. In your code of conduct, the interests of the Church are paramount, right?"
"It has always been so, and always will be," Youfeller said in a low, muffled voice.
Sun Lang smiled. "So, when the Flame Guards' actions hurt the Order's interests, when the Flame Guards betrayed the Lifire Kingdom, when the Flame Guards received the relevant orders, the Holy Soul that the Flame Guards trusted so much would become the gendarmerie that imprisoned them, or even the executioner that executed them, right?"
"Yes," Youfeller replied.
Then, Sun Lang pointed at the Death Messenger who was gradually being buried by the soil. "As far as I know, the laws of the Order of the Blaze forbid any member from killing each other, much less the Flame Guards who hold high positions and are of great strategic value. But now, the Death Messenger and the Lone Ranger have indeed had an internal conflict, and such a thing would never be allowed to happen unless … one of them has committed treason. In that case, the nature of this matter is not an internal conflict, but an execution of the traitor."
"But here's the problem …" Sun Lang said indifferently, "You're protecting Long Wande with your life, and the auxiliary saint soul of the Death Messenger is also assisting Courrier in battle. In other words, neither of you thinks that your pilot is a traitor of the Divine Power of Flames. If Long Wande betrays the Divine Power of Flames, then there's no need for Courrier to pursue him. You'll control and detain him yourself and wait for the church to escort him. If Courrier has evil intentions and attacks Seraph for no reason, then she won't be able to operate the Death Messenger at all."
Euphemia was silent.
Sun Lang asked straightforwardly, "So, what's the inside story of this matter?
Your master is in a coma, and you're all alone and helpless. You can only escape to the Empire for refuge. Logically speaking, you need help, and I'm the one who can provide it. Now that the Death Messenger is my captive, I'm on the same side as you. Whether it's to protect your pilot or to protect the interests of the Divine Power of Flames, you should be honest with me, understand? "
The Lone Ranger still refused firmly. "You're a senior general of the Houtu Empire and the highest commander of a potential enemy nation. I can't tell you such top-secret information."
Sun Lang rolled his eyes. "I've retired a long time ago. Even my name has become a forbidden word, the kind that you can't even find on Baidu. Right now, I'm thinking about establishing an anti-government force, a force that the Divine Power of Flames should try to rope in and support. Do you know it or not?"
As expected, Euphemia was still stubborn. "According to the top-secret regulations —"
Sun Lang piled the last bit of soil in and then walked around the layer of soil. After the layer of soil was firmly pressed down, he reached out his hand to interrupt the Lone Walker's nonsense. He rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, so much nonsense … I'll leave the Death Messenger to you. If it escapes, you know the consequences."
Euphemia did not seem to understand Sun Lang's threat. He nodded, and the semi-automatic rapid-fire cannon in his right hand made a crisp sound. "The Death Messenger, Saint Soul Gabriel, a strong opponent, good at close combat. I was countered, and the result of the battle was a complete defeat. I had to escape in a hurry, and I hold a grudge in my heart …"
Euphemia looked at the Death Messenger buried in the soil with only its head sticking out. Euphemia's unchanging rigid tone had a subtle fluctuation. "I've had my revenge, and the situation has reversed. I'm suddenly excited, and I'm holding back my desire for revenge. I'm determined to work hard as a warden, and I won't slack off. Please don't worry …"
"… So, his logic module is based on that guy's personality?"
Sun Lang grumbled. Then, he said seriously, "It's reasonable and convincing. Then, I'll leave it to you."
"I won't let you down. Don't worry, sir. If it dares to make a move, I'll shoot it to death."
Sun Lang patted the soil off his hands and left with Hu Shouxin.
After walking for a while, Old Hu said in bewilderment, "This Blazing Angel Armor is an inanimate object after all. The so-called auxiliary mechanical soul, although it can speak, is just a mechanical spirit beast. It has no intelligence, so why are you bargaining with it?"
Sun Lang smiled. "You don't understand. It's because it has no real intelligence that it can only rely on logic and programs to act. That's why it's easier to fool than a normal person. Unfortunately, I haven't found the right breakthrough …"
Hu Shouxin was even more confused. "Let's not talk about the woman you caught for now. Long Wande's condition is improving. He might wake up soon. If you want information, you can just ask him directly."
"Because I suddenly thought of something … We have to be more proactive. We can't just wait for Long Wande to wake up. First, we don't know when Long Wande will wake up. Second, we don't know if Long Wande will cooperate with us and tell us everything we want to know."
Sun Lang said calmly, "It's hard to know what's in a person's heart. We haven't seen each other for a few years. It's hard to say if Long Wande is trustworthy. Besides, this is a domestic matter after all, and it involves a lot of people. Even if he's a good friend, he might not be willing to talk about it … Some things should be investigated as much as possible. If we can get some clues from Josephine and Courrier, we can also prove whether Long Wande is lying or not."
Hu Shouxin frowned. He was a little dissatisfied with Sun Lang's skepticism, but with Qin Hui's example in front of him, he could only choose to keep his mouth shut.
But soon, Sun Lang turned his head and said, "Oh right, something like this happened again. You should go back and tell them you're safe. So many things have happened in the past two days. Your wife and daughter must be worried. Now that they're living in someone else's house and living under someone else's roof, they don't know what happened. They must be feeling very uneasy. As their husband, you shouldn't wander around outside. Go back and comfort them and let them feel at ease."
Hu Shouxin was stunned for a moment, then said, "Don't worry. My family is sensible, and my daughter is sensible. I've already told them before we came out …"
As he spoke, he looked Sun Lang up and down. His tone was quite touched. "I just didn't expect you to be so considerate of others.
I thank you on their behalf. "
"You think too much."
Sun Lang rolled his eyes. "Since you don't know what's good for you, then I'll be straightforward. Next, I'm going to do something that's not suitable for children. The tall and busty Caucasian woman is waiting for me to play with her. You're married, so go back and play with your wife and children. Don't be an eyesore in front of me."
Hu Shouxin choked and sneered. "Stop dreaming. With Miss Zhang around, what else can you do?
Caucasian woman … You like caucasian women so much. When we were in the war, I didn't see you do anything to Dr. Angela … "
He patted Sun Lang on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Let me tell you, don't talk about the foreign horse. You almost turned the foreign horse into dried horse meat in such a short time. Even an ordinary woman would feel that this is a great humiliation, let alone a Li Huo Yan Guard with such a high status. Perhaps the foreign horse is thinking of how to fight you to the death, and Miss Zhang is probably jealous. You swaggered over to find the foreign horse, if something happened, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
Let me go with you, at least I can take care of you. "
Sun Lang squinted. "After saying so much, you just want to watch the show, right?"
Hu Shouxin denied. "Am I that kind of person?"
Sun Lang snorted. "Cut the crap. Are you coming or not?"
Hu Shouxin's donkey temper rose. He straightened his neck. "If I'm not going, what are you going to do?"
Sun Lang did not say anything. He immediately acted like Romeo and said affectionately to Juliet on the balcony, "Ah, my wife is about to give birth …"
"… F * ck!"
Hu Shouxin left a few harsh words and ran away.
Sun Lang wagged a finger at his back. Then, he didn't go to find Zhang Yinluo. Instead, he came to a side hall of the marquis' estate. Zhang Jianyuan, who had already finished washing up and changed into a set of clean clothes, was already waiting there.
When the most domineering CEO of Mingzhou City saw Sun Lang, it was as if he had seen a gang member. He greeted him with an aggrieved expression and wanted to hug and comfort him. "Master …"
Sun Lang took a step back subtly. "Stop. You can just say it there. Distance makes the heart grow fonder …"
Zhang Jianyuan stopped and looked at himself. Then, he said pitifully, "Master, you despise me …"
"Silly boy, what are you talking about?" Sun Lang said gently. "Isn't that a f * cking load of crap?"
As a result, CEO Zhang felt the cruelty and reality of the capitalist world and shed two lines of manly tears.
"That's enough. I'm just kidding."
Sun Lang put on a pair of gloves as if nothing had happened. Then, he patted CEO Zhang Jianyuan's shoulder affectionately and threw the gloves aside as quickly as possible. "I've caught that bold female thug. I'll teach her a lesson with the big stick of capitalism. Don't worry."
"It's all up to you."
When CEO Zhang Jianyuan saw Sun Lang's expression, he knew that his master needed him. According to his past experience, once his master needed him, he would definitely give him some guidance. He couldn't wait to be ordered around by Sun Lang all day long. Therefore, he immediately got into the mood. "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yes."
Sun Lang's words were simple and clear. "This woman seems to have come for you. Just in case, go back and investigate what's going on."
"There's no need to investigate. The person who came to inform me has already told me clearly."
Zhang Jianyuan said, "My master ordered me to recruit Slalos to work. Based on my master's past teachings, I figured out a recruitment method and implemented it in the entire Ming Province. When a Slalos named Andre Miller Nutrilite was recruiting workers, he happened to run into the female thug. The woman became interested in the Embroidery Hall and forced Andre to take her to the Embroidery Hall to have a look.
"When Andre was in the Lifire Kingdom, he was used to people from all walks of life. He recognized that the woman seemed to be a member of the Flame Order in the Lifire Kingdom. He sensed that the woman came with ill intentions and thought of the humanity of the Embroidery Hall, which regarded the Slalos as brothers. Under the condemnation of his conscience and uneasiness, he summoned his courage and reported to a small leader of the Embroidery Hall named An Li …"
After listening to the story, Sun Lang's expression was a little subtle. He nodded and said, "Is it a coincidence … Oh, right, that Andre Miller Nutrilite, why don't we make him a model …"
Zhang Jianyuan agreed. "I think so too. I plan to promote him to be the first leader from Slalos and let him be An Li's deputy."
"I'll leave these matters to you."
Sun Lang said seriously, "Then the second matter is that I want you to secretly arrange for people to head to Hongcheng and head to the residence of Mingzhou's Great General Qi Guanyan. Help me deliver something."
Very quickly, Zhang Jianyuan carried a box and left Marquis Jingan's residence with a serious expression, carrying Sun Lang's request. Sun Lang narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then revealed a faint smile.
Long Wande, Courrier, Euphemia, Gabriel, Qi Guanyan.
The reason for the internal strife of the Blazing Angels, what exactly happened in the Lifire Kingdom, what was the relationship between the Tensei Province and the Lifire Kingdom, what was the truth behind the Solitary Wanderer being hunted down … Three people, two Holy Souls, five insiders. One of them would definitely be willing to speak, and there would definitely be a way to get to the bottom of this.
Next, it was …
Western horse time!
"You still don't understand?"
In Yinluo's room, facing Courrier's meaningful question, a trace of panic flashed across Zhang Yinluo's eyes.
But she still stubbornly said, "Understand … understand what?"
Mao Mei glanced at her, then shrugged and said, "Forget it, it's good that you don't want it."
Zhang Yinluo's voice immediately went up an octave. "What do you want to do?"
Courrier was just about to speak when Sun Lang's voice came from outside. "Yinluo, why did you take so long?
Have you already worn it out?
Bring me along, let's make hot dogs together, roar! "
Zhang Yinluo's expression changed. She turned her head and said sternly, "Don't come in!"
Hearing this, Sun Lang shouted excitedly, "Yinluo, don't be afraid, I'm coming!"
