Chapter 164: Wendy is held hostage
At this moment, a cry of surprise rang out: "Su Mo, save me! Su Mo!!!"
Su Mo and the other turned around and saw that Wendy had been held hostage by a debt collector.
Su Mo looked at this scene with some helplessness. It seemed that he was careless, but it was not a big problem.
Su Mo immediately complained: "Good fellow, you split your forces into three groups, right? When did these Fatui become so smart?"
Debt Collector No. 3 who was holding Wendy hostage snorted coldly: "Don't think you are the only smart ones. We are the elite soldiers of the Fatui. Our wisdom is beyond your imagination. It's just that I didn't expect you to discover his existence." As he said that, he looked at Debt Collector No. 2 who was killed by Jean.
Su Mo spread his hands and said, "The main thing is that I am very familiar with your fighting methods."
I almost died because of this in Inazuma before, so how could I not be familiar with it.
The debt collector tightened his grip on Wendy's neck again, put the knife against his neck, and said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, hand over what you have in your hand, otherwise..." As he said that, he moved the dagger closer to Wendy's neck, and the threat was self-evident.
At this time, the battle on Ying's side was nearing its end. Diluk knocked the man away with a heavy blow, and Ying took advantage of the situation to use the wind blade to kill him.
Seeing his companion's body thrown in front of him, the Fatui debt collector began to panic, but when he thought of the hostages he had, he regained his confidence.
Looking at the crowd that was slowly gathering, the debt collector shouted, "You, don't come over here, or I can't guarantee his life."
"Yes, yes, Su Mo, Ying, you must save me. I don't want to die yet, wuwuwu..." Wendy's eyes gradually became moist as she spoke.
"I'm still just a minor. I never thought I'd end up like this today. I still can't accept it... My beautiful life, my best years, ahhhh..."
Su Mo and Ying were speechless watching this scene.
Seeing this, the debt collector became more confident: "Did you hear that? You don't want him to die, do you? In that case, quickly put down your weapons and hand over the things to me!"
Qin, who was unaware of the situation, said worriedly, "Su Mo, what should we do? Wendy's been held hostage. Do we have to hand over the Tear Crystal?"
Diluk remained silent.
Su Mo looked at everyone's reactions, then walked forward and said coldly, "Qin, your kindness is still so overflowing. This is not good."
"Su Mo!" Qin couldn't help but feel worried when watching this scene.
Ying comforted her: "Qin, we should trust him, nothing will happen to him."
"But..." Qin wanted to say something else, but it ended in a sigh.
Su Mo ignored Qin's call and walked forward slowly with Yunhua in his right hand.
Seeing Su Mo walking towards him with cold eyes, the debt collector suddenly panicked.
"What are you doing! Didn't you hear me? Put down your weapon quickly, or I will kill him immediately!" As he said that, he put the sword against Wendy's neck, as if he could use the sharp dagger to cut off Wendy's tender white neck in the next moment.
Su Mo seemed not to hear the debt collector's warning, but Su Mo seemed not to hear it, and continued walking, his eyes became colder, and he said coldly: "Don't play anymore, if you play again, I won't care if you get hurt!" As he said that, Su Mo suddenly rushed forward with all his strength.
The debt collector's pupils shrank when he saw this. He knew that Su Mo was serious, and then a surge of anger rose in him.
You come! I come too!
He then raised the dagger and was about to plunge it into Wendy's neck, only to realize that the person in his arms had turned into light air without him noticing.
not good!
The debt collector was shocked, a cold light flashed in his heart, and he fell down in the eyes of disbelief.
Su Mo had an indifferent look on his face and sheathed his sword.
"Ah~ I didn't expect that Su Mo, you really don't care about my safety." Wendy appeared at the side and complained.
Su Mo said coldly: "Since you can escape, you must have fun."
Wendy shrugged, unconcerned.
"Isn't this just to liven up the atmosphere?"
"Hmph, you're trying to liven up the atmosphere. I'm afraid you think we're too idle." Su Mo retorted.
Wendy was a little helpless.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, don't be angry."
"Wendy, are you okay?" Paimon asked.
"Of course." Wendy responded with a relaxed look.
At this time, Qin came forward. "Sir Wendy, I was so worried about you just now. I'm so glad that you're okay."
Wendy smiled slightly.
"Qin, what Su Mo said just now is right. Your kindness is indeed a bit excessive."
Qin was a little embarrassed, and then said: "I don't think I can put my companions in danger because of my own selfish desires."
"Oh? Really? It's all very well to care about your companions' safety, but what if they ask you to lay down your weapons and surrender? Or perhaps they ask you to exchange something of national importance for them?"
"I think I can listen to the former and then find a solution. But... I will never agree to the latter," Qin said in a firm tone.
Wendy nodded, then shook her head: "Qin, your idea is too idealistic. You have to know that having a weapon and not having a weapon are two different concepts. What if you put down your weapon and are controlled by the opponent?
Qin was silent.
Wendy continued: "If that is the case, not only will the safety of your companions be at risk, but you will also be trapped." Wendy continued.
Su Mo looked at this scene and couldn't help but recall some stories. Clearly, the protagonists had the upper hand, but once a hostage was taken, they didn't know what to do. And then they surrendered and were captured. Ten years of watching this would give me a brain clot.
"It is certainly right to worry about the safety of your companions, but if you are taken advantage of because of it and your companions' efforts go to waste, wouldn't that be even more heartbreaking?" Su Mo said in a deep voice.
"Ah~ What you said is so profound. You say it's right to worry about the safety of your companions, but you also say that they cannot be used by others. So if your companions are really being held hostage, is it better to lay down your weapons? Or is it better to disregard the life and death of your companions?" Paimon said anxiously.
Paimon's words silenced everyone.
Su Mo said: "The reason why it is difficult to comment is that there is no right or wrong in this matter, only different positions. From a personal point of view, when faced with threats, accepting the threats from others for personal reasons reflects your loyalty and righteousness. Not accepting it is also to prevent the situation from further deteriorating. These are all correct choices." As he spoke, Su Mo's tone suddenly changed and became fierce.
"But I think it would be a very foolish thing to lay down our weapons at this moment!"
"While laying down your weapons demonstrates your friendship with your companions, it could put you in even greater danger. Keeping your weapons is the best option, as it will prevent the situation from escalating further. We'll then make appropriate adjustments based on the actual situation."
"But if this matter involves state secrets, threatens national development and other major events, I think this is absolutely unacceptable." Su Mo said firmly.
Wendy then stood up, scratching her head, frowning slightly. "I feel like this is getting more and more complicated. But the truth is this: make appropriate adjustments on small matters, but don't compromise on big ones. Especially as someone in a higher position, too much kindness will only lead to a bad outcome. Having weapons in our hands is one thing, using them is another."
"That's right, especially when it comes to guys like the Fatui. Don't hesitate, just go for it." Diluk agreed.
Hearing this, everyone looked at him speechlessly.
He really can always involve the Fatui in everything.
……
December 24, 6, the weather is sunny
I have CET-4 and CET-6 exams today. I had a bit of insomnia last night and I was wondering if this was caused by staying up late to write?
But fortunately, I woke up in good condition this morning.
I was assigned to a small classroom with about thirty people and two electric fans. My seat was next to the window.
After handing out the test paper, I took a look at the composition.
Oh, this is OK.
I started writing immediately, and when I finished my masterpiece, I found that only more than ten minutes had passed!
I looked around and saw that everyone was still answering questions.
Since the next part after the composition test was the listening part and I wasn't allowed to look at other questions, I just focused on enjoying the scenery outside the window. There was a gentle breeze, swaying shades of trees, and blue sky and white clouds. What a leisurely scene of blue sky and white clouds, it made me feel relaxed and happy.
After a while, the listening session started, and the sunlight came through the window, gradually becoming stronger. I felt a little bit of heat, but the breeze was blowing gently and I was still immersed in the tranquility.
However, as the sun shone brightly, I felt a burst of heat and sweat began to seep out of my forehead.
As the sun gradually rose higher in the sky, the heat became even more intense, and the cool breeze never came to my window again.
After walking out of the examination room, looking at the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, I couldn’t help but sigh: What a “exhilarating” exam!
On the way back, sweat soaked my face, but for some reason, I felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
