Chapter 153 Goodwill

Hearing Sean's question, the gray-haired veteran couldn't help but frown: "What are you talking about?"

Sean said coldly: "It took 1 minute and 20 seconds from sinking the elevator to stop, with an average speed of 15 meters per second. You wouldn't have to tell me that the foundation of Tianxuan Yulou is more than one thousand meters deep, right?"

Speaking of this, Sean simply dragged the blaster behind him to his chest, pointing the gun directly at the gray-haired veteran.

“Where is this place?”

The gray-haired veteran was silent for a while and sighed: "I am worthy of being Xiao An's friend. You are even more sensitive than I expected."

Hearing the word "Xiao An", Sean's heart moved, and then a guess that was almost absurd at first thought, but reasonable after exploring it.

Xiao An...it should refer to Anping, the captain of the Hongxing Squad? Is this gray-haired veteran a friend of Anping and Lu Nan?

At this time, the veteran said again: "Often people will completely distort their sense of time when they are very nervous, and it will feel particularly long in just one second. In this case, even if they can faintly detect abnormalities, they will probably be attributed to their own illusion. It is rare for people like you to accurately measure time and respond to confidence."

But Sean felt a slump in his heart because the other party was already clearly answering his question: This is indeed not the underground passage of Tianxuan Yudong, and this elevator took him into the trap.

For a moment, Sean just wanted to pull the trigger without hesitation, kill this unfathomable veteran on the spot, and then get close to breaking out with all his strength!

"Kill me, the bomb in the elevator shaft will detonate immediately, and you will be completely trapped in this confined space. Okay, don't be so nervous. If I want to be unfavorable to you, you will be able to fly if you call me at any time along the way, right? Isn't it?"

Sean ignored this, just stared at the scars on the gray-haired veteran's face, trying to capture his psychological activities from the other party's micro-expression.

However, the other party did not show any flaws. The vicissitudes of face seemed like a tattered artificial mask, without carrying a trace of sincerity, making it even more difficult to judge his heart.

"You are the Silver Knights, to be precise, the members of the Red Apricot Squad, right?"

This sentence finally made Sean feel shocked, and the explosive gun in his hand couldn't help but hang down.

This gray-haired veteran actually knows his identity?

"Ha, of course you are from the Hongxing Squad. Only by being influenced by those brave people will you choose to go against the current in a desperate situation and run to Tianxuan Yudong. Do you want to control Zhang Jincheng and then find a way to return to [Xun] through him? It's exactly the same as Anping and the others back then."

Hearing this, Sean vaguely captured a trace of kindness in the other person's dialect. Moreover, considering that if the other person was really malicious, there would be too many mobile phones along the way... Sean decided to temporarily put down his hostility, step out of the elevator, and come to this silver-toned underground square.

Unexpectedly, this place is not an underground passage of Tianxuan Yulou, but a completely enclosed space. When designed and built, it was probably used as a warehouse. The interior space was square and particularly upright. The surroundings were tightly sealed by thick metal plates, leaving only a few narrow ventilation ducts, which were invisible to humans at all.

In other words, except for the elevator behind you, this is an absolutely confined space.

Sean is unknown whether there are bombs in the elevator shaft. He will not accept the other party's words in full or deny them rashly. But no matter what, his situation is undoubtedly passive. The other party knows his origin and can even see in advance that he wants to counterattack Tianxuan Yudong... In this case, impulse is the most meaningless choice.

Sean asked, "Do you know Anping and Lu Nan?"

"Of course, ten years ago, we were teammates fighting side by side..." said the veteran, "But you probably have no way to prove these words. Even if you say Xia Jiang in person and listen to those two people, they will never admit it."

Sean asked, "You are rebelling against each other?"

"To be precise, I betrayed them." Xia Jiang said, "When they were betrayed and abandoned, my friend chose to stand by and watch. Since then, I have no hope of getting their forgiveness, so after seeing you, an old friend... or a friend of an old friend, I am very happy."

Sean pondered for a while, without rushing to respond.

Since the other party has the desire to talk, you might as well let him say it happily... No matter how meticulous a person is, he will inevitably lose too much. Even if the words are seamless, but if the words are raised, information will always be leaked inadvertently in his micro-expression.

Although so far, Xia Jiang feels like a piece of bright and flawless ice, and there is no expression on her face covered with scars.

But this calmness actually made Sean vaguely capture the other person's mood.

While talking endlessly, he was stingy with expressions. This restraint just showed that he was nervous.

However, he has obviously taken the initiative, so what else can he be nervous about?

Are you worried that he would give up on himself and die together? If he really had this worry, there was no need to use it as bait to lure himself here. And if he wasn't nervous about himself, what was he nervous about?

When Shawn's thoughts turned sharply, Xia Jiang said again: "The first meeting between us was not pleasant, but we were responsible at that time, so please understand."

Sean couldn't help but feel confused: When did he meet this gray-haired person?

However, in a trance, looking at the grey-haired veteran's meticulous standing posture, a pair of black armor suddenly appeared in Sean's mind... After looking closely, Sean was shocked to realize that the veteran's outline was exactly the same as that man!

"It's you?" The Jedi apprentice took a breath.

Xia Jiang finally smiled and said, "Sure enough, you didn't even recognize me. Many times, a person only needs to shave and change into clothes, and immediately becomes unrecognizable, right?"
