Chapter One Hundred
The uneasiness in everyone's hearts grew deeper and deeper as time went by. However, when they arrived at the mushroom woodland, another unexpected situation made the apostles stunned again.
Among all the soul imprints of the apostles, the pre-task of the epic plot - exploring the Mining Channel of the Miyin Hall, was actually achieved!
This means that one of Gillim and Lorraine has safely reached the surface camp. Gillim is naturally impossible, so this prompt will appear only if Lorraine reaches the surface cave camp alive.
"Is Qin Lun bringing Lorraine back? He also avoided the pursuit of the Drow Elves?" Weiss looked at Hill with a sharp look. The prompt message appeared in the soul mark made his suspicion of Hill and Rand slightly relieved.
If Qin Lun really brought Lorraine back to the camp and was not on the same path as the monkey in order to avoid the Drow Elves, then Qin Lun's team's suspected collaboration with the enemy would be gone. Even so, he could not let go of the other party's behavior of using the monkey as bait and throwing it to the Drow Elves.
"If I told you, Qin Lun didn't tell me what he would do, you must not believe it!" Hill looked at Weis calmly.
"You are not a temporary combination, this explanation is untrustable." Weiss's face relaxed slightly, and he said with deep confusion, "But he could have had a better choice to avoid the Drow Elves, and the risk of returning with Lorraine alone is also very high, which obviously doesn't make sense!"
Hill smiled bitterly in his heart. If he still regarded Qin Lun as the original one, it would naturally not make sense. But he could not tell Weis that Qin Lun was different from before.
What's more, judging from Qin Lun's current series of behaviors, Hill has slowly understood the entire context. Hill and Rand have roughly figured out what Qin Lun wants to do. Perhaps that guy calculated all of their reactions at the beginning of the plan.
"Hill, are you sure Qin Lun will do this?" After Weiss left, Rand looked at the shepherd with a strange look.
"This is the most reliable explanation. After Qin Lun's personality changed, he formulated this plan." Hill said in contemplation, "He found the Miyin Hall Mine in front of us, but did not go into the cave to explore, and he went back directly to find Lorraine and deceived him away.
In this way, when Lorraine returned to the surface, our mission was completed. He himself stayed, and he didn't know how to contact the Drow Elves and slaughtered the remaining Minotaurs and Dwarf camps."
"Why did he do this?" Rand asked with some discomfort. Fireworks had actually vaguely guessed Qin Lun's plan in his heart, but he was still unwilling to believe it.
"This is not obvious yet. The newly emerging Qin Lun has shifted his goal from the mission itself to the Weiss team." Hill sighed and said, "Don't forget that we have another mission, "The Dawn of Obalan's". This is a competitive mission. The battle between the apostle teams will produce bloody cubes."
Hill's eyes were filled with inexplicable meaning, "I was just guessing, but after Lorraine safely arrived on the surface, I was sure. After the dwarf's exploration mission was completed, our team with Weiss is no longer a joint team, and we can fight as a competitive team."
"But we still have restrictions on the cooperation contract!" Rand sighed halfway through his speech, "This is not a problem. Qin Lun can completely let the Drow elves take action on his behalf and then collect the bloody cube himself."
If a competing apostle team is killed by the plot characters of the other team, there is also a certain probability that the Bloody Cube will drop. In competitive tasks, the chance of drop is very good.
Especially "The Dawn of Obalan's", this task is a phased task, requiring the apostles to continue to go deep into the dark area and continue to pick up and drop off dark elves who are eager to return to the surface world. The deaths of Riven and Kosena did not completely disappear into the task list.
"Yes, the thief monkey in Weiss's team is probably Qin Lun's test piece. Since he is dead, it proves that Qin Lun's plan works." Hill said with a serious face, "The only thing we cannot be sure of now is what attitude Qin Lun will treat us both."
"Hill, I still don't understand one thing. Even if Qin Lun targeted Weiss' team, when he contacted the Drow Elves, he didn't know that Gillim, Ilistin and others would stay in the mine to find him..." Rand asked with a frown, "Why does he think that the Drow Elves have the ability to destroy the entire exploration team!"
Hill was silent for a while before saying, "This is the terrible thing about Qin Lun. He once taught himself psychology and had a very thorough grasp of people's hearts. Even we can see Elistin's feelings for him clearly, so why can't he be clear? He knew Elistin would definitely stay and look for him, and Elistin would stay, and Edelya would not leave.
Mastasha himself followed up in the dark area for him and naturally stayed. As for the dwarves... do you think Gillim's personality would allow his friends who helped the dwarves to stay in the mine alone?
Even if the old dwarf doesn't keep him, he will give some of his men to Ilistin. In this way, a part of his men's men's exploration team was already near the maze fortress, and a part of his men would be left in the Mine of the Silver Hall. After two consecutive diversions, the Challenge's side's chances of winning will be at least 80% to 90%, which is enough to fight."
"Then what are we going to do? Tell Weiss and the others about everything?" Rand sighed knowingly.
"Will Weiss believe us? If you confess all this, will Weiss and others believe it. The biggest possibility is to put us under house arrest as a bargaining chip to threaten Qin Lun!" Hill said with a wry smile, "Qin Lun understands the personalities of our two. He knows that even if we guess his plan, it will not be a very obvious loophole."
"You forgot to say he is testing us!" Rand said angrily, "He has not withdrawn from the three-person team so far. Obviously he is counting on us to help him plot against Weiss. If we don't help him, it means that Qin Lun, whose personality changes, is no longer regarded as a companion. He would probably let the Drow elves destroy us together without hesitation."
"You can actually think of this!" Hill raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Even if I am not as smart as you two, I am not an idiot." Rand glared at the shepherd bluntly, "Weis and us had met by chance, and it was nothing to do with each other. He knew this but did not tell us the plan in advance, so he was naturally trying to test the two of us."
"This is just our take for granted. Maybe he didn't mean to let us go!" Hill raised his head and smiled bitterly, "Qin Lun in the past has disappeared. Now he came up with such a desperate plan as soon as he woke up, which really makes me feel bad about it."
"Then you tell me, what are we going to do next?" Rand said distressedly.
"Before I say, tell me first, before Qin Lun disappeared, should we help? Or not?" Hill showed a smile that made Rand want to beat him up.
"Qin Lun just said that he would help him recall his memories after he came back. It has nothing to do with Qin Lun now, right?" Rand said for a moment.
"Of course it's relevant. If we want to find a way to get Qin Lun back as soon as possible, we must have more contact with the current one." Hill spread his hands and said, "If there is even a way to help Qin Lun solve this personality problem, he can still owe us a favor."
"This...even Qin Lun himself can't do it. What will we do?" Rand asked in amazement.
"That's not necessarily. You have to know that when Qin Lun had this situation in the past, he had no memory and had nowhere to start. If someone recorded everything about Qin Lun now, maybe there would be a way!"
Hill shrugged and said jokingly, "But judging from the current situation, Qin Lun is very dangerous. If you accompany the king, you are like a tiger. Maybe you will cheat us in. It depends on whether you are willing to do it!"
"Since the five of us will set up a team in the future, we naturally cannot leave our companions behind when they are in trouble, at least... we need to try it!" Rand pondered for a moment, and finally looked up and replied.
"That's simple. If we don't want to interfere in this matter, we can completely leave the team action now. You should know that the exploration mission has been completed. We only need to hide in the dark area for a few days and wait until the stay time is consumed to return to the broken starry sky."
Hill said slowly, "If we want to contact and understand Qin Lun now, we can only continue to play with him... and extinguish the fire before igniteing the fire!"
"I am the best at extinguishing fires!" Rand looked at the shepherd with a calm expression and couldn't help but grin.
...
Entering the mushroom forest filled with pink mist again, Weiss's eyelids began to beat sharply, and his anxiety had reached its peak. The previous time when they were here, they wiped out a rat-man tribe, but this time when he came to the mushroom forest, he had another premonition of danger.
"Stop!" Looking at the dwarf exploring the way forward, Weiss raised his hand and called out several companions beside him.
"Captain, what's wrong?" The shield guard looked back at Weis in confusion.
After arriving at the mushroom woodland, all the apostles and dwarves were very relaxed, and there was less than half a day left here to the surface camp.
"It's nothing, keep going!" Weiss glanced at the dwarves who were gradually getting away from the apostle, shook his head hesitantly, as if he wanted to get rid of the inexplicable feeling. The team was already very close to the surface, and he really didn't want to make any more troubles.
Weiss's behavior was seen by a man hidden behind the mushroom forest hundreds of meters away. "He" pulled the corners of his mouth disdainfully. Even if the plan was not successful, he would often arrange a preparatory plan, which was difficult for such people to be plotted on.
However, variables are not enough to destroy the plan, and when they are close to success, they will instead be in a dilemma.
Weiss' advantages and disadvantages were particularly obvious during the Silver Moon Celebration. It was precisely because of his stability that Weiss's team was not trapped in the Supreme Palace, but because of his stability, the plan developed with inertia, which led to the final failure of the Santalin Society.
This time, "his"'s calculations were not only tight, but also more concealed, completely targeting Weiss's psychological blind spots. As expected, because of his steadyness, the other party kept the plan developing along with inertia, and even failed to notice that as long as he simply hid, he could avoid the crisis of the group destruction.
