NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 719 Look at me
"Many times, common interests are far more reliable than feelings."
Hongyan was very secretive. "Girl, it's not that I don't tell you some things, but people in different positions will see things differently..."
Jiang You did not comment on Hongyan's words.
Sometimes there is no right or wrong, it’s just a matter of different standpoints.
Precisely because she is clear about this, whether it is Red Eyes or the High Priest, in her mind they are just partners.
Partners are brought together because of interests, and naturally they will become enemies because of interests.
She did not blame the high priest for plotting against her time and time again. After all, if she were in the high priest's shoes, she would not necessarily be much more lenient than he was.
Hongyan wanted to say something, but suddenly, his head shook uncontrollably.
The angry expression was only half done and then frozen on his face.
The red in his eyes quickly faded, replaced by a pair of clear, stupid eyes.
"Madam Jiang Jiang, Manager Zhang has recently locked the cabinet containing the sugar jars. You have to keep an eye on her! Am I the kind of person who would sneak into the kitchen at night?"
"Also, what did you ask me just now?"
Jiang You smiled and walked away.
Soon he left the noisy bald man behind.
After returning to the study, Jiang You immediately searched out all the records about the sacrifices in Chenjia Village.
Wen Yu said that a key is needed to open the entrance.
But he didn't know what the key was. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the high priest.
After all, the ones who are most anxious to open the entrance to the abyss, besides himself, are the Hope Base and the high priest.
I hope that this huge base will have other uses.
The high priest is an old acquaintance after all. Although this sinister guy has many tricks, one has to admit that his ability to see fragments of the future is unique.
This guy Red Eyes obviously didn't tell me his plan.
If you want to know what the key to open the abyss is, you can only find it yourself.
……
When he saw the high priest again, if it weren't for the iconic silver mask, Jiang You would never have believed that this guy was the high priest of the Tower of Dawn.
The pair of slender hands slowly put down the chess pieces in their hands.
As he moved, magma slowly flowed out of the dense black cracks on his hands.
The skin exposed outside the robe was almost entirely covered with these black cracks.
This made him look like a dry, cracked old tree.
"High Priest, it's been such a short time since we last met, and you've actually gotten yourself into this state?!"
"Ahem...yeah...it's only been a short time..."
A figure wearing a Vermillion Bird mask walked out of the darkness and helped the high priest stand up from the bunk bed.
He was like an old man, and even needed the power of Suzaku to stand up.
He walks unsteadily.
Jiang You asked, "You used your ability to see into the future again?"
The high priest coughed a few times with difficulty, avoided answering, and spoke slowly, "You came at this time, it seems that the progress is good. Have you seen Wen Yu? Is he okay?"
Jiang You was a little surprised to hear those words from him.
Only a few people knew about Wen Yu's affairs, and she was sure that the news would not reach the Dawn Tower.
How did the high priest know this?
"How do you know I saw Wen Yu?"
The high priest chuckled a few times, his hoarse voice seemed to be squeezed out from a broken bellows, "When I first entered A Yue's illusion, I was the first person to gain power.
At that time, I saw Wen Yu, saw his future, and saw that I left him in the abyss illusion..."
"But if you hadn't left him in the abyss, he wouldn't have had that future."
"Yes."
The high priest sat down on the chair tremblingly, "At first, I didn't understand why Wen Yu became like that.
It wasn’t until he and Jiuyue awakened their abilities that my first reaction was to never let them leave at the same time. It was then that I suddenly realized why I saw such a future…”
Jiang You, "Their abilities are perfectly closed loop. You are afraid that after Wen Yu comes out, his abilities will be stronger than yours and you will be out of control."
"Wen Yu is a smart person."
The high priest said, “There are many times when he has some strange but amazing ideas in his mind, but he is too kind.
Having someone who is too kind in a team is a disaster.
If this person gains powerful abilities and makes everyone willing to follow him, it would be a catastrophe.
If he has average ability and can be controlled by me, then we can continue.
But if he is stronger than me, then in order to maintain the consistency of the team, I can only remove this uncontrollable branch..."
The high priest felt a little emotional and told Jiang You about the past.
Wen Yu was born in an orphanage like them, but he is really kind.
The dean once said that Wen Yu is the best-hearted child among all the people.
He would help weak children and give his own food to his sister...
But such a shining personality is not a good thing in the doomsday.
Some people in this world will become sophisticated after seeing the dark side of society, some will become cynical, and some will remain true to their original intentions.
Wen Yu belongs to the last category.
He has saved us countless times in this way, and he has saved others countless times in this way.
He said that in the story of the farmer and the snake, the snake cannot be blamed because biting is its nature…
……
Jiang You, "If such a person appeared in the enemy camp, I would be very happy! If he appeared in my own camp, I would probably kill him first.
But you are wrong about one thing.”
The high priest looked at her, "What?"
"I don't agree with what you said about Wen Yu's original intention." Jiang You smiled, "This guy now talks about killing people all the time. He is not like the Holy Father you mentioned at all."
Jiang You casually pulled a chair, leaned back, and tapped the armrest with his fingers, "I came here this time to ask for your help, but of course it's not for nothing.
After all, you also want to open the entrance to the abyss as soon as possible, so we can help each other."
The high priest smiled, "What do you want me to do?"
Jiang You pulled a chair and walked in front of him, bending down and looking at him.
“Now we need two things.
1. The exact location of the entrance to the abyss.
2. The key to open the abyss!
You don't have to worry too much about the entrance to the abyss. I've already let my men spread the word that I'm overwhelmed by the backlash of the fire.
I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at Tingfeng City. Once this news gets out, there will always be people who can’t wait.
I guess the first one who can't wait will be the Hope Base. After all, they have devoted countless generations of hard work to this and they will never give up easily.
Even if you know it might be fake news, you can't help but give it a try.
By letting these people in, the entrance to the abyss can probably be found soon.
So I came to you because of the second thing."
High Priest, "The key to the entrance?"
"That's right." Jiang You nodded.
The high priest smiled and said, "Jiang You, do you think I would have waited until now if I knew how to open the entrance?"
"Maybe you didn't know it before, but it's not certain whether you know it now." Jiang You sat upright on the chair, his ink-black eyes staring straight at the high priest.
"So come today, I want you to...look at me! Take a good look at my future."
