Chapter 1684 Tit for Tat
The next night, Ripple was late again on purpose, but it was only two minutes late. If the captain didn't care, no one would say anything, but Yekarina jumped out and said:
"Yu Lianyi, what's wrong with you? Why are you late for two days in a row? Do you have a sense of time?"
A trace of displeasure flashed in Lianyi's eyes, but she still said with a smile:
"Sorry! Yesterday was the first time Vincent and I went on patrol alone. We were a little excited, so we got up late."
Ripple's words contained a lot of information. Although he was apologizing on the surface, he was actually accusing Jim of leaving the two newbies to complete the patrol mission alone.
Jim frowned after hearing this, and just as he was about to speak, Yekarina made a ripple:
"Yu Lianyi, why are you blaming Jim? If I wasn't injured, why would Jim send me back to the headquarters early? You know best how I got injured."
Lianyi also lowered her face and muttered in a low voice:
"How can you blame me for your injury? I didn't hurt you."
"Hmph! It's true that you didn't hurt me, but my injury was caused by your mistake. If you didn't come to support me, nothing would have happened to me. This kind of scene would not be a problem for me, an old hunter."
"I admit that you are a senior, but there is no need for you to rely on your elders. Everyone has been a novice. Is it necessary to target me like this?"
Lianyi said without showing any signs of weakness.
The smell of gunpowder between the two was very strong, and it seemed that they would start fighting at the next moment. Vincent and Jim looked at each other, and the two pulled their partners over, interrupting the dispute between the two.
Jim pulled Yekarina aside and said:
"Why are you so angry today?"
"Seeing her reminded me of my injury yesterday. It could have been avoided, but she caused me to get hurt. I haven't been so seriously injured in a long time."
Jim's eyes flashed and he lowered his voice and asked:
"You said your injury yesterday was caused intentionally by Ripple."
"Um!"
"Then do you want to tell your mother?"
Jim suggested.
"Jim, you know I don't want my mother to solve all my problems."
"Then let's change team members?"
"No, if you do this, she will definitely say that we bullied him. I don't want my dispute with her to affect you, and only by staying around can you find her fault. Doesn't she want evidence? Then I will find it for her. "
Yekarina had an attitude of wanting to fight Ripple to the end.
Jim gave a few symbolic words of comfort, and then took the three of them to patrol, but the atmosphere today was obviously not as good as before.
As the team leader, Jim also talked to Ripple alone and wanted to be a peacemaker.
Ripple obviously didn't buy it, she said calmly:
"Jim, you are Yekarina's partner, you must help her speak. When I first met her, she was very hostile to me.
After I accidentally hurt you before, she challenged me, but lost to me. She was probably dissatisfied with me at that time, but she just didn't have the chance to embarrass me.
Then I saved you two. I said we were reconciled. She was still a little reluctant at that time. I thought that we were all companions and we were in the same team. We would just get along and things would turn around.
The last time she was injured was indeed due to my lack of cooperation. As a novice, I would definitely correct myself after making a mistake. I also visited her in the medical room afterwards and apologized to her, but she still held on to her, which made us How will we work together to complete tasks in the future? "
Ripple expressed his dissatisfaction with a crackling output, and did not want to listen to Jim and Xini anymore, so he turned around and went to find his partner Vincent.
Jim turned around to persuade Yekarina again, but what he said was instigating Yekarina to continue having trouble with Ripple.
This made Yekarina, who was familiar with Jim, feel even more uncomfortable and resentful of the people in Jim's body, because the real Jim would not say such things.
Anyway, in the next period of time, Yekarina and Ripple were tit-for-tat, with overt and understated sarcasm going on one after another. In short, the smell of gunpowder was very strong, which made Jim and Vincent very embarrassed, so they could only try to separate the two.
Filot on the other side has contacted Klinsmann and told him his guess:
"Klinsmann, I guess it was Cassius who did this. He should have used his blood relationship with Jim to complete the soul-changing ceremony, but I don't know which wizard presided over it for him?
As far as I know, this ritual is very cumbersome. Once the wizard makes a mistake during the operation, both people who exchange souls will die. "
After listening to Filot's words, Klinsmann had already filtered in his mind the wizards who were capable of hosting such a ceremony, but he had no clue for the moment. After all, they were not the only family in the wizarding world, and he was not the only capable wizard.
Loffit seemed to have seen Klinsmann's thoughts. He coughed slightly and said:
"Klinsmann, do you remember Wizard Maris?"
Klinsmann reacted after hearing this and then said:
"You're talking about the wizard who rebelled against the hunter organization with Cassius?"
"Yes."
".As far as I know, he has disappeared since leaving the hunter organization, and he doesn't seem to be with Cassius."
"Just because they're not together doesn't mean they're not connected, what do you think?"
Filot insisted on his opinion.
"Then what are you going to do?"
"I would like to ask your help to see if there are any traces of the magic circle on Jim now. At least to confirm our judgment before we can proceed to the next step."
"Okay, but I want to meet him. It would be better if I can get his hair so that I can check it."
Klinsmann did not refuse Philot's request.
"You haven't told the upper echelons of the Hunter Organization about this yet?"
"Why? After all, these are all my speculations. Although two little guys found something unusual, they had no evidence, so they came to seek my help."
"So you plan to report it after getting the evidence?"
"Yes, this is more convincing. After Cassius' betrayal, his name is now taboo."
Philot said helplessly.
Klinsmann did not respond this time. He didn't know how to persuade his good friend. It was not a good feeling to be betrayed.
"Contact me when you have a good time."
Klinsmann took the lead in speaking and ended the meeting.
"Okay, wait for my news."
Soon after, Philot got this opportunity.
The Hunter Organization received the news and found the gathering place of the fleeing demonized people, and also found the traces of the traitors who had betrayed the Hunter Organization. This time the hunters had a big operation.
Lianyi thought this was a good opportunity, so she secretly reached an agreement with Yekaterina and prepared to plot against "Jim".
The two partners were not assigned to the same action group for this operation, which was obviously to separate Lianyi and Yekaterina.
Yekaterina pretended to be angry and said to Jim:
"How can you let Lianyi leave our sight?"
Jim patiently explained:
"Yekaterina, this mission is very dangerous, I don't want you to be affected in any way."
