Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Hearing this, the shadow man didn't say anything.

"His" eyepiece had been shattered, and his eyes looked back without showing any sign of weakness.

Coupled with the long hair, the shadow figure exposed under this mask is indeed a female face.

Even young.

Lu Meng was smiling, but the knife in his hand was extremely stable.

Seeing that the other party didn't express anything, he exerted a little more force, and a few drops of blood came out from the blade embedded in the flesh.

Seto on the other side suddenly realized.

Even by assassin standards, the figure's figure seemed a bit slender.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would be difficult for outsiders to imagine that the Shadow Man, the strongest swamp ninja who now commands the entire Water Tribe, is actually a woman.

Of course, this is not so strange.

It's just that because the shadow person has always been mysterious and his identity is ambiguous, the world doesn't need to pay attention to gender - whether he is killed by a man or a woman, or something else... it doesn't make any difference.

Now, Seto himself and the unknown person are probably the only outsiders who have seen her true face.

More importantly, for Lu Meng.

This was the reason why he had no intention of actually disguising himself as a 'Shadow Man'.

It's really difficult.

Once you meet an insider, it is too easy to expose him.

The blade of the knife was embedded, causing pain in my neck.

Even the shadow man couldn't help but frown.

She was still holding the tan knife in her hand, pressing it against Lu Meng's chest. Even though she knew it was pointless, she still refused to let go.

The shadow man glanced at the blood spider larvae on the ground.

It struggled on the ground several times and became stiff, as if it had been poisoned.

——As swamp ninjas who live in the southern wetlands all year round, they certainly have ways to avoid and prevent blood spiders to a certain extent.

Especially for immature larvae, as long as you apply a special medicine, you can make them ignore or even hate themselves, thus avoiding insect disasters.

It is even more impossible for the filmmaker to make such a mistake.

However... why is this blood spider able to approach him despite its disgust, as if it can violate its biological instincts?

Moreover, larval parasitism takes time.

How did it discover itself, and when...

"Are you injured?"

As if sensing the shadow man's doubts, Lu Meng sneered: "Although I can't tell the clues now, my crossbowman actually hurt you a few days ago."

When operating the harpoon cannon, Cang Cui has the ability to pose a certain threat to Lu Meng.

With the crossbow in hand, the combat power of this worker bee cannot be underestimated. He did shoot the shadow man, but it did not affect his actions at the time.

The shadow man didn't escape unscathed that day.

Exposing a weakness will attract hunters; and just this little blood energy is enough to serve as a beacon for blood spiders to prey on, which is difficult to cover.

This is also a major basis for Lu Meng to determine that the shadow man is coming.

To deal with a stealth master of this level, one must be prepared with both hands.

As for driving the blood spider to die, it is not a problem for him now.

Lu Meng had a limited number of guards he could trust in Stone Town, and he had confessed to Seto.

But in addition, he also has an absolutely loyal blood spider army.

Of course, Lu Meng would not explain this to the shadow man.

By the way, I won’t tell Seto for the time being.

Otherwise, let this little princess know that outside her room, she is secretly surrounded by blood spiders... I wonder if she will be able to sleep well in the future.

"...I see." The shadow man finally spoke.

After taking off the mask, her voice was not hoarse like an ordinary swamp ninja, but rather crisp.

I don't know if she understands it.

But in short, the shadow person at least knew that the situation was irreversible and she had no power to resist.

She let go of the handle and let the precious knife fall to the ground.

Lu Meng's knife was still held up, and he motioned to Seto on the side - Come on.

The little princess’s eyes lit up:

Kidnap someone?

I like this!

She rushed forward in two or two steps - no additional ropes were needed, the shadow man's straps could be removed and used.

After being tied up in all kinds of ways, the shadow man had no intention of resisting and could not resist.

Her eyes were still staring at Lu Meng.

There was no expression on Lu Meng's face.

After a long time, the shadow man suddenly said: "You knew I would come -"

"Why?"

Seto, who was still moving his hands and feet, was also stunned.

yes.

How did Lu Meng know?

and……

It was the unknown person who originally came to negotiate with her tonight. Why did the shadow person come here?

If the unknown one had not come.

Then after the operations just now...

Could it be that he is dead now?

Seto's heart trembled slightly, and he turned to look at Lu Meng with curiosity in his eyes.

"It depends on what you want to do here." Lu Meng looked directly at the filmmaker, but did not answer her directly:

"A few days ago, some Shizhen residents wanted to go out to collect medicine on their own, claiming that they were injured and needed medical treatment."

"Although our army has medicine reserves, it cannot benefit everyone, so it is difficult to refuse their request. At the same time, we can also use them to explore the surrounding situation."

"In the end, they encountered the 'Swamp Ninja'... but all of them survived. It's a miracle."

"Among them... there must be spies you planted in Shizhen to deliver news."

"What's more important is that you can actually kill a batch and keep a batch as smoke bombs, or even use them all as death chambers to confuse me... But you didn't."

"this means……"

Lu Meng's eyes narrowed: "You... are too eager and have no time to use safer, more covert, but slower strategies. You must immediately activate all previous arrangements to obtain intelligence."

"Everyone feels that if Shizhen is surrounded, the situation will become worse and worse..."

This is certainly true.

"But only you yourself know...if you drag this on, it will be you who can't stand it."

As Lu Meng spoke one sentence after another, the shadow man's originally cold expression became a little looser.

She immediately noticed the gaffe, simply closed her eyes and stopped responding.

It was as if the answer didn't matter to them at all.

Just look at that wavering expression.

There is no doubt that Lu Meng's speculation hit the truth.

Seto on the side was also a little surprised.

She had also heard about this matter, but it was just mixed in with many casual conversations and miscellaneous things. Recently, other major events in Shizhen have been happening continuously. If you don't pay attention, you will ignore them.

Seto also didn't notice anything, but he didn't expect the nameless one to do it.

Of course, as the leader, the accuracy of the information obtained by the latter was not comparable to that of a 'guest' recuperating from her injuries.

She just remembered the teacher's teachings about knowing the subtleties and peeling off the cocoons.

It seems that in practice, I still have a lot to learn.

Seeing that he didn't get the answer he wanted, Lu Meng didn't care.

He smiled and continued: "The more urgent the situation, the more impatient the party will be to take action first... All I have to do is give you a gap, a chance to take action."

"I didn't deal with the spy, and even transferred Cang Cui away... I just left this gap."

"But," Lu Meng suddenly changed the topic: "As I just said, the more urgent the situation, the more impatient people will be..."

"So, Miss Shadow."

"What are you waiting for now?"

"Are you waiting for...your watchman?"

——Hearing these words, the shadow man's lowered eyes suddenly opened, startling Seto on the side.

She wanted to struggle, but Seto's binding skills were surprisingly good.

I don’t know what I have learned in my daily life, but I really don’t care about anyone who comes.

"As expected, you know." The shadow man quickly gave up and spoke coldly.

"Yes." Lu Meng admitted frankly, "How are the ninja brothers who went back last time?"

In an assassination operation, the assassin is the one who does the assassination, and the watchman is the one responsible for the response.

During the last time they broke into the Stone Rat camp, Lu Meng had cooperated with the Swamp Ninja. They would naturally inform the Shadow Man of the news after they returned.

I'm afraid the shadow man guessed the truth because of this.

At this moment, with Lu Meng's admission, the shadow man more thoroughly combined the two things, and it was beyond doubt——

She was angry and annoyed.

It’s your kid, right?

Because of this man, the Swamp Ninja, and even the entire Water Tribe - especially herself, have endured countless disasters.

When she was sitting in the southern wetland and living a good life.

Battle reports came in like snowflakes, some were praising people, some were angry and reprimanding, and some were asking for help urgently...

But the only thing they have in common is that the film man looks confused.

Anyway, I don't know how to deal with it.

In the end, things became more and more true, so much so that the filmmaker once doubted:

Could it be that I am suffering from schizophrenia and have done so many incredible things without knowing it?

I love killing people in my dreams?

Of course, paper can't contain the fire, and the truth will be revealed in the end.

It's just still weird...

But for now, put those things aside.

What surprised the shadow man was that since the other party knew that he had a watchman to respond, why was he not in a hurry at all.

Even if he didn't take the initiative to confess, it would be as if he didn't know and there would be no reaction.

As the most powerful swamp ninja, Shadow Man should logically act as the watchman... Unfortunately, facing an enemy like Lu Meng, she had to take action herself.

Even so, the response team she deployed was not easy to deal with.

"They won't come." Lu Meng said calmly, but in the shadow man's ears, it sounded like a ruthless announcement:

"You have seen what Cang Cui is capable of, so you have been on guard...only after you learned that I had replaced someone on duty did you decide to infiltrate."

"But what you don't know is..."

He and Seto looked at each other and made up their minds.

——Hamut was replaced.

This drifter is a veteran of underground assassination and has rich experience.

Changing his career to become a security guard... can be said to be his professional counterpart.

Even though his perception ability is not as good as that of Crossbowman Cang Cui, he has an advantage in detecting swamp ninjas.

Not to mention this is their home field.

After Lu Meng randomly cited a few examples, the shadow man believed it.

All his watchmen and back-up men have been wiped out.

He has persisted until now... Under the continuous blows, the shadow man couldn't help but feel a bit of despair and his heart was haggard.

In fact, it was not that she had not considered the possibility that this was a trap.

After all, the preparations in all aspects were too rough.

It's just... she, and the Water Tribe, can't wait any longer.

Besides, the film man is confident.

Even if what they broke into was a trap, they could easily tear it open with the sharp blades of the swamp ninjas.

Unexpectedly, they were all caught in one fell swoop, like moths to a flame.

Seeing the Kage slumped on the ground, Seto actually felt a bit of sympathy - and more importantly, thankfulness.

Sympathy is not sympathy for the encounter…

But not long ago, she was also criticized like this by Lu Meng...

Here at the Nameless One, no matter you are a princess of a country or a wanted criminal, you are treated the same.

So the feelings about the movie people.

Seto can totally understand!

Fortunately... hehe...

She is now on the same front as the Nameless One.

And in comparison, Lu Meng was more of an educator and guide to her. Overall, it was for her own good, and in the end it also brought hope to herself.

On the other hand, as a movie viewer, it’s much worse.

The little princess's remaining depression immediately dissipated.

Remembered something.

She sneaked closer to Lu Meng and asked quietly:

"But, Nameless One, how are you sure that the Shadow Man will come here?"

Hamut could detect that someone was infiltrating today, but it was only ordinary swamp ninjas.

At the level of the shadow person's strength, it can be said that she comes and goes without a trace. It cannot be speculated by common sense, and her actions are indeed in a single line.

As asked before.

Why was Lu Meng able to squat and guard the spot where the shadow man made his move?

"Her target must be me." Lu Meng glanced at the tied up woman and didn't shy away from it.

"And this is Big Al's original residence."

"Big Al? She..." Seto was confused.

The shadow person doesn't know your identity... Lu Meng shook his head and continued: "In the whole stone town, if you want to find me, the first thing that comes to mind is the residence left by the previous owner."

"So it makes sense that she would come here..."

But the shadow person didn't know that Lu Meng didn't care about this, and instead gave the metal shack directly to Seto to recover from his injuries.

"I also thought of this, so I came over to guard you to avoid any accidents." He said calmly.

What... Seto was stunned.

She remembered that the nameless man had said before that he wanted to see if she was asleep... She thought it was nonsense at the time, but now it seems that it was half-truth.

This is not an excuse Lu Meng made specifically for negotiation.

If Seto really fell asleep, he wouldn't wake himself up.

He was just waiting for the Shadow Man.

The little princess suddenly felt a little angry and had complicated emotions.

How do you feel...the agreement you made with yourself before is like a by-product? It’s a buy-one-get-one-free gift for those who capture the shadows.

But it stands to reason that this is for her safety and is the kindness of the unknown person...

It really makes sense from both sides.

You have all the reasons.

"But...there is still a key issue."

Lu Meng didn't care about the little Shaq girl's thoughts. He looked at the shadow man and continued:

"When Big Al built this shelter, although he lived and practiced hard for many years, it was generally hidden. Only the core leaders knew about it. After all, ordinary residents didn't understand that he was once a Shaq warrior, so it's hard to imagine that he was just a Shaq warrior. Staying in a room that looks so ordinary.”

"I was prepared to fail."

"But you, as soon as you took action, you found the right position."

"According to the terrain, the assassination operations are interlocking and cannot be planned at the last moment; including those lurking spies, they must have been planned for many years... You have long planned to attack me, no, Big Al, and the Stone Rat Group Take action, at least be prepared."

These plans even occurred before Lu Meng entered the swamp.

And to a certain extent, Lu Meng was able to borrow the name of the movie star.

Those rumors are not groundless.

The swamp ninja is not a white lotus, he can only add fuel to the fire.

Lu Meng believed that besides himself, someone else had already noticed it, so they hit it off so well that it was difficult to tell the truth from the lie.

"What do you swamp ninjas want to do..."

"Lu Meng!" The shadow figure on the ground suddenly spoke, his voice like cracking silk, interrupting the question.

Seto thought that the other party was going to resist, so he suddenly became nervous, stepped on her body, and tightened the rope.

The woman's long hair was hanging down, and her expression could not be seen clearly.

But then, her voice lowered, she changed her name, and murmured:

"No, Mr. Lu, please..." The shadow man's limbs were tied, but he knocked heavily on the ground, causing a splash of muddy water.

"Save the Water Tribe!"

"Save... us too."
