《The Empress Livestream (1-201)》Bab 8: Dia yang Melihat Semua (IV)

"Sendirian di belakang? Kamu benar-benar punya nyali! Haha! Aku menghormatinya ... Tolong," katanya, menunjuk ke arah pintu. Meskipun dia bisa jadi biadab, dibandingkan dengan bawahannya, dia hampir tampak seperti pria yang ilmiah.
Dia dan Jiang Pengji saling menilai.
Bos bandit memperhatikan Jiang Pengji dan kemudian melirik gadis-gadis yang bersembunyi di belakangnya. Ada sesuatu yang aneh tentang Pengji. Semua bangsawan yang ditangkap adalah perempuan; lalu mengapa dia bertingkah seperti pria terhormat?
"Lanting ..." Jantung Wei Jingxian berdetak kencang saat dia menyadari bahwa Pengji akan berbicara dengan bos bandit sendirian.
Itu adalah langkah berbahaya bagi Jiang Pengji. Meskipun reputasi gadis-gadis itu telah ternoda sejak diculik, mereka belum dirugikan dengan cara apa pun. Tapi memasuki kamar sendirian dengan pemimpin bandit? Itu adalah cerita yang berbeda.
"Jangan khawatir. Aku akan kembali." Jiang Pengji memberi Wei Jingxian kedipan mata. Sikap main-mainnya menggelitik minat orang lain.
Ruangan di belakang gubuk itu bahkan lebih sederhana daripada yang ada di depan. Jiang Pengji duduk di kursi yang jelas dimaksudkan untuk bos. Dia menyilangkan kakinya dan berbalik menghadapnya. Sebelum bos bandit bisa mengancam bahwa gadis-gadis itu akan hidup melalui hari-hari neraka, Jiang Pengji mengambil alih dalam barter perjanjian.
"Ayo langsung ke intinya. Gadis-gadis itu membawa serigala, dan aku ingin kembali dengan cepat." Meskipun dia merasa tergesa-gesa, itu tidak terlihat dari postur tubuhnya. "Aku tidak mempercayai bawahanmu."
Bos berdiri di samping, matanya berkilat karena urgensi. Mo'niang selalu ada di pikirannya, karena dia adalah beban yang tidak ingin dia tanggung. Dia selalu ingin tahu siapa yang menyebabkan kematiannya, dan sekarang Jiang Pengji menawarinya harapan, dia tidak berencana untuk bersabar.
"Pembunuhnya sebenarnya dekat denganmu. Kamu belum menyadarinya."
Ada teko di sisinya di atas meja. Dia mencuri pandang ke cangkir teh dan melihat noda hitam di atasnya. Tiba-tiba, dia tidak merasa haus.
Bos bandit itu bukan idiot. Dia curiga bahwa Jiang Pengji mungkin mencoba untuk memulai konflik internal di dalam bandit untuk menghancurkan mereka.

Dia mungkin memiliki otak yang cukup untuk memimpin sekelompok kecurangan, tapi sekarang dia melawan Jiang Pengji. Tidak ada peluang dia menang.
Dia adalah iblis yang paling pedas di Korps Tujuh. Tidak ada rahasia yang tersembunyi setelah dia berbicara. Petugas di bawah pemerintahannya takut melakukan kontak mata dengannya karena takut ditelanjangi oleh tatapan tajamnya.
"Aku tahu kamu curiga. Kamu pikir aku mencoba membuatmu saling membunuh. Tsk! Aku mengatakan apa yang harus kulakukan. Terserah kamu jika kamu ingin percaya padaku."
Jiang Pengji dalam hati hmphed. Tubuh ini terlalu lemah. Dia bisa keluar dari tempat para bandit dan menyelamatkan dirinya sendiri, tetapi para gadis bangsawan akan terbunuh selama kebingungan. Seorang perfeksionis seperti dia tidak bisa menerima hasil itu.
"Pembunuhnya berasal dari desa yang sama denganmu. Dia pincang, dan punggungnya sedikit bengkok. Saat kau pergi berburu, dia membawa beberapa orang bersamanya dan memaksakan diri di Mo'niang. Mereka bahkan mengancamnya untuk tidak mengatakan apa saja. Mo'niang sangat mencintaimu. Dia tidak tahan menanggung rasa bersalah dan malu, dan itulah sebabnya dia memilih untuk mengakhiri hidupnya. "
Setiap kecurigaan tentang Jiang Pengji terbaring terbang keluar jendela ketika bos mendengar kata-katanya. Dia benar-benar percaya padanya.
Tidak ada bandit lain yang tahu bahwa dia dan lelaki yang pincang itu berasal dari desa yang sama. Mereka akan saling memberi salam sebagai salam setiap kali mereka melihat satu sama lain, dan mereka saling menjaga, tetapi mereka tidak pernah melakukan apa pun yang mengungkapkan bahwa mereka berasal dari kota asal yang sama.
Setelah Jiang Pengji mengungkapkan fakta seperti itu, bagaimana mungkin dia tidak percaya padanya?
"Jika kamu masih tidak percaya padaku, kamu bisa menanggalkan pakaiannya dan melihat punggungnya. Mo'niang adalah orang yang berkemauan keras. Selama pemerkosaan, dia melakukan perlawanan terbaik dan meninggalkan beberapa bekas luka di punggungnya. Pada akhirnya, bagaimanapun, dia masih wanita yang lemah ... "
Bos bandit berbalik dan meninggalkan ruangan dengan pedangnya. Tidak lama kemudian, Jiang Pengji mendengar para wanita bangsawan menjerit. Bau darah memenuhi udara, dan Jiang Pengji tersenyum sebelum dia berseru, "Selanjutnya!"

Sistem: "..."
Meskipun Sistem tidak mampu merasakan, rasanya seolah-olah hendak meledak.
Pemimpin Dua adalah yang berikutnya memasuki ruangan. Pandangannya yang dijaga ketat bertemu dengan Jiang Pengji.
Bos bandit telah meraih salah satu bawahannya yang biasa-biasa saja. Dengan mata merah dan tatapan gila, dia telah merobek pakaian bawahannya, meresahkan para penonton.
Si bawahan memohon untuk hidupnya, yang hanya memancing bos, jadi dia menghunus pedangnya dan memotong kepala bawahan itu.
"Putramu hilang ketika dia masih sangat kecil ..." Jiang Pengji melanjutkan, tampaknya tidak terpengaruh oleh jeritan. Hanya mencium darah yang tumpah sudah cukup baginya untuk tahu bahwa dia telah mencapai tujuan pertamanya. "Apakah kamu ingin melihatnya?"
"Tentu saja!"
