Chapter 504 You Sing, I Take the Stage (1)
In this slightly dim and slightly eerie space, Stinx is like a cheetah that is always alert.
He could see every subtle change in Loki's expression.
Just by the fleeting change in his expression, he had already understood the other person's inner thoughts.
I was secretly thinking about the next response strategy in my mind.
So, Stinkys was the first to break the brief silence and slowly said:
“You have plenty of time to think about it. Before that, we will stay in the underworld. I hope you can think carefully about the cooperation we proposed.
This may be a rare opportunity for you to change the status quo and realize your ambitions. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Stinkys did not hesitate at all. He turned his eyes slightly to the side.
He winked at the bandaged woman standing beside him, and the eye contact seemed to have conveyed a silent command, and the two of them prepared to turn around and leave.
"Your coming in wasn't smooth sailing, was it? Where are the guards?"
At this moment, Loki's deep voice suddenly sounded, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, breaking the silent atmosphere that was about to leave.
There was a hint of inquiry in his eyes, as if he wanted to dig out more secrets from Stinky's answer.
Hearing Loki's voice, Stinx's steps suddenly paused. His raised foot hung in the air for a moment before slowly falling down.
He turned his head slightly and looked at Loki with a faint smile on his face.
But he revealed some deep meaning and said, "Isn't this asking even though you already know the answer?
If those guys were still alive, I wouldn't be able to chat with you here so peacefully!
After all, you have a special status in Elbaf and your priority is still very high. How could those guards easily let us get close to you?"
His voice was neither hurried nor slow, but every word seemed to be carefully considered, and echoed clearly in the silent space.
"The guards change shifts every half a day, so the person who is taking over will show up in five minutes." Loki seemed to be talking to himself, or he seemed to be talking to Stinky on purpose.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a thoughtful gleam in his gaze, as if he was sorting out various clues in his mind, trying to piece together the real purpose of Stinkys and his companions' trip.
"So, you two didn't want to stay here and wait, but to get rid of suspicion."
Loki's voice gradually became more confident. As he spoke, he stared closely at Stinky's breath, as if trying to see through his disguise.
"As for the reason... I guess you must have other tasks, and they are the kind of tasks that absolutely cannot reveal your identity.
And you are ready to take advantage of this opportunity to skillfully throw the "dirty water" that may cause instability on
The Four Emperors who had already reached Elbaf would become the target of public criticism.
Then, taking advantage of the small chaos caused by this incident in Elbaf, he quietly completed his own task.
"So... am I right?" Loki deliberately stretched out his tone when he spoke this, pausing and raising his voice with each word. There was a hint of chill in his words, and he asked coldly.
"Shanks's... Substitute!"
Loki pronounced the last few words very clearly, as if he was revealing a deeply hidden secret.
The atmosphere in the entire space instantly became tense, as if an invisible pressure was spreading in the air.
"This guy..." Stinx's body suddenly stiffened. At that moment, he was like a nocturnal animal suddenly exposed to strong light, and the camouflage around him seemed to have a crack.
But he quickly regained his composure and slowly turned around.
There was still that half-smile on his face, but there was an indescribable coldness in the depths of his eyes.
"You are very smart, Loki." Stinky's voice was low and steady, as if he was trying hard to suppress something.
"However, sometimes being too smart and knowing too much is not a good thing."
He raised his chin slightly and looked towards Loki, trying to find more flaws or any sign of hesitation in the giant's eyes.
The bandaged woman stood aside, her hands unconsciously tightening around her spear. She could feel the tension in the air growing thicker, like the depression before a storm.
She leaned slightly to the side and observed her surroundings out of the corner of her eye, ready to deal with any emergency that might arise at any time.
Of course, she wasn't trying to save Stinkys, she just wanted to find the best escape route for herself.
The Celestial Dragons are not stupid enough to save someone from another family and sacrifice their own fools.
Loki snorted coldly, the voice coming from his broad chest, with a bit of disdain: "I have been imprisoned in this dark place for many years. I have plenty of time to think and see through the tricks of you people.
Do you think I will believe you so easily just because you are under the guise of cooperation? " He leaned forward slightly, and the chains on his body made a slight rattling sound as he moved, as if to cheer for his words.
“Also, you smell so much like that guy, but your speaking style and tone are completely different.
So I can't think of anything other than Vegapunk's cloning technology."
"So what? Does it matter whether I'm a substitute for Shanks?" Shanks narrowed his eyes slightly and asked back.
“What’s important is that I can now give you a chance to change your destiny.
Don't you want to break free from these shackles and return to the pinnacle of power in Elbaf?
Don't you want to make those who betrayed you pay the price?"
He spoke slowly, but every word was like a hammer, hitting Loki's heart, trying to awaken the desire and hatred deep in his heart.
Loki's eyes flickered, and it was obvious that Stinky's words touched him.
But he quickly regained his indifference: "How dare I trust you Tianlong people so easily?
You said you would help me untie the chains, but your performance just now was really hard to believe.
And my "hero" will be here soon, I don't need you at all, the reason I'm talking to you is just to kill time when I'm bored."
"you……"
"If you don't leave now, the guards will be here!" Loki grinned.
Sure enough, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside, and it seemed that the sound of the guard changing shifts was getting closer.
Stinkys' eyes narrowed. He knew that they didn't have much time left.
"Loki, think about it carefully. Opportunities are not always available." After saying this, Stinkys winked at the bandaged woman again, and the two of them quickly ran back the way they came.
Not long after they left, the new shift of guards walked into the place where Loki was imprisoned.
The leading guard was a tall, bearded giant. He held a huge axe in his hand and glanced around vigilantly.
Seeing that Loki was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, but still walked forward and checked the condition of the chain.
"Is there anything unusual? Is the 'Non-Rebel' still there?" asked another guard.
"He's still here, and everything is normal in the underworld. But everyone from the last shift is dead. The method was very decisive. I need to notify the elders!"
The leading guard shook his head, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart. He always felt that under this seemingly calm atmosphere, there was some unknown undercurrent hidden.
On the other side, Stinkys and the Bandaged Woman were traveling through the intricate passages of the underworld.
"What should we do? He's seen through our plan. Can we still continue?" The bandaged woman asked in a low voice, with a hint of anxiety in her voice.
Stinkys was silent for a moment, his eyes flashed with determination: "Of course we have to continue, Loki is the key, we can't just give up like this.
Let's follow the original plan and create some chaos to muddy the waters and see if we can find another way out. " After saying this, Stinkys' face turned slightly cold.
"I just don't know whether Jenny Tren is going to be a punching bag or a fuse..."
