Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

Holding down his pounding heartbeat, Lin Wei looked down and saw that the dagger had accurately passed over his forearm, cutting the rope just right without hurting himself. He just lifted his arm slightly and was free again.

"Alas, you petty-minded woman..."

Lin Wei complained inwardly, then reached out to untie the restraints on her legs, stretched out her legs comfortably, and spread them out to enjoy the laziness of freedom.

After a while, Lin Wei stood up, lifted his feet left and right, feeling that his consciousness had completely recovered, and then followed the raven's path and walked out of the door.

"Why are you so slow?"

Raven had been waiting at the door, and when he saw Lin Wei coming out, he questioned her in dissatisfaction.

This guy, is he stalling for time and fooling me again?

"My legs are numb."

Lin Wei answered as a matter of course that it was true.

Raven paused for a moment, then suppressed the curse in his heart and turned away.

Lin Wei smiled slightly, followed behind, also without saying a word, then looked around the surrounding environment, guessing where he was.

At first, she was quite curious, but as she walked and looked, Lin Wei couldn't hold back any longer——

This is actually an underground bar...

Inappropriate?

Lin Wei complained in his heart, glanced at the raven walking in front, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

It’s actually quite reasonable.

"Ok?"

The raven seemed to sense Lin Wei's gaze and turned its head to glance at Lin Wei, wanting to see what kind of ivory could come out of his dog's mouth.

"It's just a little unexpected. I guess you can buy me a drink later?"

"Ha!" That's wishful thinking.

The raven turned and continued walking.

The light in the bar was dim, but sunlight still filtered through the gaps between the few, tightly closed windows, telling Lin Wei that it was daytime.

Therefore, it seemed very quiet here, and even though the door could be seen open from a distance, no guests came in.

Looking in the direction we are moving forward, there is the bar's lobby and the bar counter.

A figure was sitting on the long sofa opposite the bar. Behind the sofa was a huge glass window. Even with four or five thick curtains, it was not possible to completely block out the sunlight. The figure in black sat in the strands of Tyndall light, looking solemn, mysterious, and even a little sacred.

Lin Wei's mind moved, that should be the purpose of this trip.

I couldn’t help but complain in my mind – how come you guys are all so good at posing?

As I got closer, I could see clearly that it was the body shape of a man, wearing a black jumpsuit with a hood on his head, covering half of his face, while the other half was covered tightly with a mask.

What kind of dressing taste do you have!

Lin Wei complained in his heart. Suddenly, he remembered that Raven was adopted by Gray Snake in his early years. He couldn't help but turn his eyes to Raven who was also wearing a hooded jumpsuit...

Could this guy have learned his taste in clothes from Gray Snake?

Lin Wei couldn't help but speculate out of curiosity.

"…The guests are here, you guys can chat."

Raven seemed not to notice Lin Wei's rude gaze. He just calmly handed over to Gray Snake who was sitting on the sofa, turned around and walked to the bar not far away, took out a towel and began to wipe the wine glass. After a while, he couldn't help but looked up and glared at Lin Wei.

Who is this?

Do you think I'm stupid?

"Mr. Lin Wei...Isn't that right? I apologize for the poor hospitality before. Mr. Lin Wei, please forgive me."

Gray Snake's voice sounded muffled, as if he was wearing a respirator or a gas mask, as if there was a layer of medium between them.

He extended his hand to guide Lin Wei to do it, and his movements were as elegant as those of a nobleman.

"Mr. Gray Snake, it's really not easy to see you."

Lin Wei said half sarcastically and half sincerely.

From the time he plotted against Bronya to the actual meeting now, it really took Lin a lot of effort.

He unceremoniously pulled over a round chair and sat opposite Gray Snake, looking directly at the mysterious man across a quaint wooden round table.

This is a stare-to-eye contact with the snake.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Lin Wei. After all, I'm a businessman, traveling around the world all day long. I don't need to explain too much about wasting time on ineffective things, which will lead to loss of profits. If the business chips are not heavy enough, it is indeed difficult to arouse my interest."

"Haha, of course I understand, Mr. Gray Snake. So in order to arouse your interest, haven't I already offered you a bargaining chip that you absolutely cannot refuse, Mr. Gray Snake?"

Lin Wei smiled and showed his fangs.

Since it concerns the Stigmata Project, this is an offer that Gray Snake cannot refuse no matter what.

This is indeed the case. Gray Snake is also very curious about who could use the "Stigmata Project" to threaten him. This at least shows that this person must know him very well, and secondly, at least knows the existence of the Stigmata Project.

So he accepted the "deal" as agreed to see whether the value provided by Lin Wei was worth his condescension, and then decide whether to kill him.

After all, this man's previous resume was too ordinary. He only seemed to be active recently, which seemed to be related to destiny, and he just went out with Hua.

Why was Lin Wei so familiar with him? Gray Snake couldn't figure this out.

Destiny knew nothing about snakes, and knew nothing about the gray snake.

Was it Huawei who provided him with the information? Gray Snake had also considered this question, but he immediately rejected it. That pathetic woman had forgotten everything and was now just a useless weapon in the hands of the Bishop of Heaven's Fate.

To the snake, it has no value.

After thinking about it over and over again, he still couldn't figure it out, so Gray Snake decided to meet him and accept the deal.

Moreover, Lin Wei just mentioned the Lord's name clearly, which aroused Gray Snake's interest even more.

"That's right, Mr. Lin Wei. After all, business is business."

Gray Snake's voice was still as deep and steady as ever, as if he had no psychological activity at all.

"Now I am here as promised, sitting here and talking with you. Now, it's time for you to demonstrate your value, Mr. Lin Wei. State your demands, and then let me see if the bargaining chips you use can satisfy me."

If the chips are not enough, the snake will be disappointed.

The consequences of angering a snake will make you regret it for the rest of your life.

"Yes, Mr. Graysnake."

Lin Wei nodded, then put on a harmless smile and put forward his request with a calm but provocative tone. He knew that the arrogant Gray Snake would not care about these small details, he only cared about the results.

"I was asked by an old friend to talk to Kevin, your Lord. I know you can contact him, so please tell him a message for me:"

"Ring wants to see him."

There was so much information in these two sentences that Gray Snake couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Then he chuckled twice and asked the question that he was more concerned about at the moment.

"What an interesting deal. So, Mr. Lin Wei, what kind of chips can you offer?"

Lin Wei was confident and said with a frank smile,

"I'm penniless and I'm afraid I can't come up with much money. Of course, I also know that Mr. Gray Snake won't care about these boring things."

The gray snake just nodded slightly, without comment, and continued to watch his performance.

"So I have another proposal, Mr. Gray Snake. I know that you play an irreplaceable role in the smooth implementation of the Stigmata Project. Therefore, I think that using 'Gray Snake's life' as a bargaining chip should be able to impress Mr. Gray Snake, right?"

Gray Snake was not angry when he heard this. He first said "ah", then nodded three times, as if to express his surprise.

Then he regained his composure and smiled at Lin Wei, as if they were just having a casual conversation with strangers.

"Trading my life for my deal, this is not the right attitude to do business with, Mr. Lin Wei."

Then the gray snake's tone turned slightly colder.

"And, for snakes, death is just..."

"It's the beginning of a new life. I know, Mr. Gray Snake, I'll speak for you."

Lin Wei interrupted Gray Snake's singing and snatched his line.

"I have some understanding of Mr. Gray Snake's true identity, so I am not surprised that even if I kill you today, I will see another new Mr. Gray Snake behind the door. This kind of trick can't scare me, Mr. Gray Snake."

Lin Wei showed his fangs and his smile was very dangerous.

The truth is revealed when the plan is finally revealed, and it's either success or death. This kind of game can really make people excited.

"So I said, my bargaining chip is not your life or death, Mr. Gray Snake, but the life of 'Gray Snake'."

Lin Wei bit the last "gray snake" very hard, and after a slight pause, he added the other two words, the meaning of which was self-evident.

He slowly raised one hand, and then a black light flashed, and a pitch-black box appeared in his hand.

"Now, tell me, Mr. Gray Snake, in exchange for the opportunity for Gray Snake to continue to live and implement the Stigmata Project, I will be able to communicate with Kevin himself."

"Will this bargaining chip satisfy Mr. Gray Snake?"

After saying that, Lin Wei stretched out his hand and opened the box completely!

Chapter 41: Kevin

The moment the box was opened, Lin Wei suddenly felt his hair stand on end. A sharp blade came from behind and stabbed straight into his neck!

At the same time, there was a gunshot, and Gray Snake took out a pistol from somewhere and shot the deadly blade away with one shot.

"Raven, you're anxious."

The gray snake chuckled and comforted the raven. The latter snorted, relaxed his tense nerves and continued to wipe the wine glasses silently, like an ordinary bartender.

I was just being too sentimental!

The raven was indignant in his heart.

"what!"

The feeling of being on the verge of death again made Lin Wei feel extremely excited. This feeling was really wonderful!

Lin Wei's rational side knew that this state was not right and was very dangerous. A good swimmer can drown in water. If one always plays this kind of extreme game, he will die sooner or later!

But he didn't want to control it at this time because he had no choice, so he completely unlocked the crazy side of his heart and let himself enjoy this crazy game of dancing with snakes!

He was still holding the black box steadily, with a gentle smile on his face. He was not at all startled by the lightning collision just now, but his black eyes revealed a kind of hysterical madness.

Lin Wei went crazy and even scared himself.

The lid of the box was opened, but nothing happened. This is why Gray Snake tried to stop Raven - he didn't feel any danger.

No matter how much the gray snake's behavior imitates humans, it never truly becomes human.

In his brain made up of mechanical and electronic components, and in the gray snake network composed of countless brain nodes, there are rational trade-offs, calculations of interests, and realistic games, but there is no emotional thinking that would make him hesitate.

Therefore, he made an instant judgment when he did not notice the danger at the first time, and took action to organize the ravens that were nervous because of Lin Wei.

Playing rationality with emotional humans, leading them to the rhythm they want;

Playing with rational machines impulsively and taking the direction of development out of the opponent's rhythm, they will weigh the pros and cons and take the initiative to retreat;

The only way to play with a madman is to see who is crazier!

At this moment, when his adrenaline was rapidly mobilized, Lin Wei suddenly looked forward to the future clash with Bishop Otto!

“Am I too inflated?”

Even though he was extremely excited now, Lin Wei still did not lose his mind. He complained about himself in his heart.

A madman with rationality is the most terrifying existence.

But the goal was achieved.

The box was opened, and there was nothing inside, completely empty.

Lin Wei played with the box in his hand, shaking it with one hand, and the lid opened and closed, making a "click-click" sound, as casually as a toy in a child's hand.

He looked directly at the gray snake and said jokingly:

"The guest was killed before he could even finish his words. The way the World Snakes treat guests is truly unique and eye-opening."
