The First Order Chapter 735 - The Demon Whisperer in the dark

Chapter 735 The Demon Whisperer in the dark

Everyone at the campsite looked at one another in confusion. What kind of f.u.c.king twist was that?

They were already starting to guess what kind of show Ren Xiaosu was going to put on this time. However, they were utterly stunned by the sudden twist.

A hardtack biscuit would be enough to fulfill their daily intake of energy. This was definitely a good offer since they would not even have to pay for it. But it was way too nonsensical to request them to put on a performance.

Cheng Yu looked at Ren Xiaosu. “Do you really think we’ll throw away our pride for a little bit of food?”

Ren Xiaosu said unhappily, “I’m only asking y’all to put on a performance. Didn’t I also do it previously? What does this have anything to do with throwing away your pride?”. Cheng Yu thought to himself, ‘That’s because you’re thick-skinned, but we aren’t!’

But he did not say it out loud as he was thinking about the hardtack offered by Ren Xiaosu.

A middle-aged man said, “Everyone here is probably a well-known figure in their own organization. Do you think anyone will put on a performance for you for a hardtack? What about their reputations?”

At this moment, Cheng Yu suddenly looked at White Mask. Ren Xiaosu and White Mask were probably the strongest ones in the entire group, so why not make use of White Mask and have him stand up to Ren Xiaosu instead?

Cheng Yu smiled and said to Old Xu, “Do you agree with—”

Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Yu could only watch helplessly as White Mask did the splits!

Cheng Yu and the others were dumbfounded. ‘You’re an expert who defeated a T5-ranked combatant. Why are you doing the splits just because someone asked you to?’

This sight upended Cheng Yu’s worldview!

He was bewildered and wondered if he was still trapped in the hallucination created by the canyon. Off to the side, w.a.n.g Yun was smiling. This sight incidentally helped to confirm his thoughts. The Stronghold Destroyer and White Mask appearing in Luoyang City at the same time was definitely not a coincidence. The two of them definitely knew each other, and they might even be close friends. Why else would someone as powerful as White Mask want to play along with the Stronghold Destroyer?

w.a.n.g Yun felt he had seen through everything. Just this intel alone was worth tens of millions of yuan!

Although he still did not know what White Mask’s superpower was, he could at least confirm which organization White Mask belonged to. If anyone wanted to target Fortress 178 in the future, this intelligence could prove to be of great use.

w.a.n.g Yun also got up and said with a smile, “Then let me perform for everyone as well. It’s a song that I learned in the Kong Consortium’s military. It’s called the ‘Song of the Guerrillas.”

With that, w.a.n.g Yun began singing. But while he was singing, his powerful memory brought him back to the time when he was still young and inexperienced.

There was no scheming or mutual deception that was so frequently seen in the intelligence agency. w.a.n.g Yun even missed those times a little. Ever since he joined the intelligence agency, he did not dare claim he was a good person anymore.

His subordinates turned their heads and looked at their director in silence. They suddenly felt their director seemed to have something on his mind. Although w.a.n.g Yun got along well with his subordinates, they had never heard him sing before.

Now that w.a.n.g Yun and White Mask had gone along with Ren Xiaosu’s request, they had eased the awkwardness for everyone. Very quickly, the rest of the people at the campsite tossed their pride away as well.

With someone opening the show, everyone was able to disregard the embarra.s.sment and follow suit.

In fact, this really made the entire campsite suddenly feel more joyous. With something to eat, some of these people even started cracking jokes.

In the forest, someone was lying on a cliff and watching all of this with a pair of military binoculars. That person transmitted through his earpiece, “We gotta postpone the higher-ups’ plan for a while. I just discovered their supplies have not run out yet, and they aren’t exhausted either.”

Someone said through the earpiece, “How is that possible? What are they doing right now?”

The Pyro Company’s spotter hesitated for a moment before saying, “They’re singing and dancing. Someone even did the splits for everyone.”

There was silence over the earpiece. Half a minute later, someone said, “…Continue observing. Report back immediately if there’s anything new.” “Roger.”

At this moment, Cheng Yu and the others were unaware that someone was watching their every move from afar. He just looked at the people at the campsite and then at Ren Xiaosu again before saying with a sigh, “Could he be a f.u.c.king lunatic?!”

“He’s definitely a lunatic alright,” Vanilla said helplessly to Tang Hualong. At this moment, people were singing and dancing at their campsite as well. However, the performers over here were not from the Anjing House but the Pyro Company members.

Vanilla looked at the large song and dance show in front of him. Hundreds of people from the Pyro Company were skipping and hopping around in the open s.p.a.ce, performing all kinds of challenging movements. It looked very festive.

Those who did not know the inside story would probably think there was a bonfire party being held here when they saw this.

Tang Hualong whispered, “Don’t let him hear you complaining. I don’t want to see you putting on a show for everyone tomorrow night as well. That’d make my eyes bleed.”

“Why would it make your eyes bleed?” Vanilla’s eyes widened. “No matter what, I should be an idol, right?”

But as they were talking, the song and dance show by the Pyro Company gradually came to a close. Li Shentan smiled and said to Si Liren, “Little Liren, come over to me.” Then Li Shentan picked up a pebble beside him and flicked it into the dark forest.

Vanilla and the others immediately looked towards the spot where the pebble had disappeared. However, they saw nothing there.

What was even stranger was that even though the pebble was flying at such a high speed, there was no sound of it hitting anything at all.

Li Shentan looked into the dark and said with a smile, “What’s wrong? Are you finally unable to hold back because I’ve captured too many of your people?”

From the dark, someone said with a laugh, “Why would the two of us care whether these people die or not? I just wanted to come over and have a look at you.”

Vanilla and the others were stunned. The voice in the dark sounded exactly the same as Li Shentan’s.

Si Liren looked at Li Shentan. “Should I kill him?

“There’s no need for that.” Li Shentan shook his head and turned towards the person in the dark and asked, “Were you responsible for the cave-in at East Lake and the traps in the Sacred Mountains?”

The voice in the dark denied, “You should know very well that neither of us has the intelligence for that.”

“Bulls.h.i.+t!” Li Shentan was so angry he jumped up. “You can call yourself stupid, but don’t get me involved!”

“Is there a difference?” The person in the forest started laughing.

“Of course there’s a difference.” Li Shentan said coldly, “You are nothing but an inferior product.”

“Oh? Then let’s wait and see.” After saying that, the person in the forest turned around and left. He did not rush out to start a killing spree.

Vanilla and the others could finally heave sighs of relief. They dropped their guard since they no longer had to face that formidable enemy anymore.

Now that their speculation was finally confirmed, there was indeed a second Demon Whisperer in the Sacred Mountains.

When Vanilla looked back, he saw Li Shentan flip a silver coin into the air from his fingertip. The sound of the spinning silver coin was crisp and pleasant. Vanilla and the others suddenly felt more refreshed than before.

Vanilla frowned. “Are you trying to hypnotize us?”

Li Shentan said calmly, “When he was talking just now, he placed a psychological suggestion on you all. I’m only trying to help you regain consciousness to prevent you from not knowing how you die.”
