Returning from the abyss

Chapter 179 Investigation
It is not surprising that there are explosions in places like Vice City, but these days it is too frequent.

When Lu Ning woke up in the morning, she could still smell the burning smell in the air.The places where these explosions occurred were not in the chemical industry area, but not far from the villa area.The burning flames also ignited surrounding woodland, and it took all night to extinguish the blaze.

In the morning news, the news that "The Club of the Victims declared that the explosion was an act of revenge" appeared, and the general public was emphatically reminded that the members of this club are a group of lunatics who do not hesitate to hurt innocent people in order to take revenge.

After listening for a while, Lu Ning went out to go to school. By the way, she also explained to the guard that someone had delivered goods to the door today.Today's class was still going well, but Cheng Yurun called her to the office during the lunch break.

"Do you know what happened last night?"

"The news is broadcast..."

"The Victims Club, this seems to be a terrorist organization here." Cheng Yurun took two bound documents from the printer at hand and handed them to Lu Ning.

"This is……"

"Some clues I found in the past two days."

The purpose of the Victims Club is "revenge", which is originally within the scope of the city's permission, but most of the members of this club are targeting the city itself.

Judging from the previous crimes, they are more inclined to destroy the city than the "revenge target". These people never use methods that focus on individuals, but take revenge in such a drastic way as to kill a person and destroy the entire building. .So many people were involved—people who the club members declared equally guilty and equally worthy of death.

All registration information on the Internet is fake. The Victims Club has never publicly recruited members, and has no way of knowing its recruitment methods and background check methods, and even the number of members is unclear.Although such a group is not feared by Vice City, it makes people feel a little disgusting, so many people will secretly visit the members of the Victims Club and take pride in killing them.

This is the general situation of the first data.

Lu Ning turned to the second copy, which was Tiancheng Yurun's record of the "crows" in the scene.

As a tourist who did well in the second level, Cheng Yurun knew a lot of celebrities from various distribution centers, even if some of them didn't have a good relationship.In this scene, there are two well-known independent teams. The members of these two teams were promoted together from the first level. They have experienced many life and death. The trust and coordination in the team are far from that of wild teams. .

"Crystal Pipe—this team has three core characters, and eight members who are slightly lower. This time it is the 'Miss' Zhao Xihua who came to the scene, leading Chang Zibin who is good at intelligence work and disguise in the team , and the craftsman and pharmacist Yang Qingyu. I think I sent you Yang Qingyu's identity before, but this time they actually entered with three people, which is quite courageous."

Cheng Yurun also obtained the recent photos and identities of the three people. Yang Qingyu is a woman with a slightly charming appearance, but overall mature and stable; A life photo shows a young woman sitting on the window sill with a wine glass and turning her head to look at the high-rise buildings outside the window.

"The other team has more people here. Well-known martial arts explorers Jiang Shanhao and Jiang Shanluo brothers and sisters, as well as Tan Xiao, Liu Dongyun and Wei Wenyang, three players who have learned a few skills independently in addition to martial arts, the members of this team Although they are not bad people, they all like to calculate, and it will be very uncomfortable to get along with them."

Lu Ning already recognized several of these people, not to mention Jiang Shanluo and Tan Xiao, Jiang Shanhao was also the man who went to the casino to rescue Yang Qingyu that night.

Lu Ning made a little calculation in her mind, the eight people here, plus three of herself, as well as Yuichi Kobayakawa, Shang Chi and Luke whom she met before, and the other two that Si Fangle gave her, this part alone was confirmed There are as many as 16 tourists in total. If the number of people in the usual scene is around [-], half of the tourists have already shown their tracks.

"What is everyone doing now?" she asked.

Cheng Yurun thought for a while and replied: "Some of them are climbing the level of that forum. They should think that those forum levels will be useful sooner or later. No one has checked the issue of the Council of Heaven, I am basically sure of this, because the 'abnormality' here has not been touched yet."

"Where's the Black Badger?"

"That's a trap. If any tourist really intervenes in the task of chasing and killing the black badger, it will definitely affect the appearance of the supernatural forces behind the whole scene. Now that everyone is accumulating energy, there will be no problems in a while." Cheng Yurun took With a pen and paper, "Let me tell you about the key moments after this."

He wrote down the dates of April [-]th, April [-]th, April [-]th, and April [-]th.

"April [-]th is the second weekend. Information exchange among tourists will also take place at this time. If you know someone, don't miss this time, because this is also half of the first part of the mission. You At least half of the murderous intentions encountered should have appeared. Next, April [-]th, the monthly exam."

"Monthly exam? Is this also an important thing?"

"It's a constraining event - it's most useful to work on when people are bound to go somewhere, and that's already decided in advance, and it's true that there's not necessarily going to be a problem here, but it's the probability of it going wrong. When I was older. I don’t know what will happen then, I hope you have been fully prepared by then.” Cheng Yurun said seriously, “Then on the [-]th, Cen Mujian’s concert, before the Sabbath. As a The celebration-type events that must be experienced during the mission, it is only natural for something to happen at such a time, as for the importance of the [-]th Sabbath, I don’t think I need to say more?”

Lu Ning nodded.

"I'm very glad that you are not reckless, and you don't have to act rashly in the future. I don't know about the others. That person Zhao Xihua can't be idle, but it's a pity that I can't talk to her." Cheng Yurun said regretfully.

"Can't we talk?"

"In a sense, we all feel awkward looking at each other."

=========================
"The manager behind the website is undoubtedly a 'superpower', and may even be a member of the so-called Heavenly Kingdom Council."

This is the top floor of the Queen's Golden Crown, the Royal View Restaurant.A table of extremely luxurious dishes was placed beside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, but the function of these dishes as decoration was far higher than the function of being used for eating.

Sitting on either side of the table were two people who didn't seem to fit well together.

The young woman in a red evening dress holds a wine glass and has a charming smile on her face. Her beautiful appearance is easy to make people feel good, and her elegant demeanor makes this beauty even more outstanding.

On the other side is a middle-aged man in a rigid suit. His figure is so fat that his suit is bulging. He has alopecia areata on the top of his head, and his facial features are crowded together. However, his serious expression can save his image. .

The words just now were spoken by this middle-aged man.

"Through the contacts of this identity, I have probably guessed the location controlled by the members of the Heavenly Kingdom Council who control this city. First of all, I don't want anyone to start investigating this matter now. These members are likely to be senior Criminal, born antisocial lunatic."

"Evil of Essence—Roses, don't really treat me like a little girl who doesn't understand anything."

The girl in red laughed and put the wine glass on the table.

"I know what kind of person you are, but I'm happy to act on the occasion, because you and I both know where the insurmountable boundaries are. Zhao Xihua, it would be great if you are willing to take over. You must know that I am not the kind of person who is good at walking around. Humanoid." Rosers twitched the corners of his fat mouth and squeezed out a smile.

Among the distribution centers, people like Rosers can be regarded as a kind of strange people.

With that kind of body type, he successfully ascended to the second level, and he has a wide network of people, and he can often do well in the scene, spend all his points to make money, live a chic life without falling into a dead end, such a person is probably the only one up.For many second-tier tourists who are still struggling to pass the pass line, Rosers is a miracle.But only those teams who really know this person can understand that Rosers is really good at information turnover and analysis. Although he will be pushed to the front to take care of things when doing business with him, he can get real information. .

Zhao Xihua is not timid, and Rosers is also a smart person, and the "chat" between the two was very pleasant.

"Then, tell me the specific situation of the Evil of Origin."

"A beauty's request will naturally not be refused. But first, I would like to talk about the situation of this city." Rosers picked up the knife and pointed it out of the window.

"The entire urban area of ​​this city is a nearly rectangular structure, and the direction of the glass window we are facing is south." Rosers turned the table knife in his hand, and then clicked on a square building in the distance, " That building is the War History Museum, and the prison museum built next to it, which existed as a landmark building in the early days of Sin City, but the manager there is also unknown."

"Equally unknown?"

"Yes, there are several large buildings in this city whose owners have never really shown up, such as the casino downstairs. Then to the south, there is the newly built orphanage and welfare home area in the third district, where the The security work is currently at the highest level in the city, but the people behind the scenes are also unknown."

Zhao Xihua nodded slightly.Seeing this, Rosers slightly deflected the blade in her direction.

"Your side, that is, the west side of the city, is the red-light district of the Seventh District and the streets of related industries. The Drunken Dream Red Makeup, which is as famous as the Queen's Golden Crown, is there. Similarly, it is also a building that does not know who is in control."

And the fourth district in the south of the seventh district is the old city area. Although it is close to its own school, the owner of an underground colosseum near Red Crow Street is also unknown.

In the second district in the south of the fourth district, there is the only university in the entire city, but the principal of this university is only an acting principal, and it is not clear who the real principal is.

"In addition to the entertainment and cultural industries on our two sides, Districts [-], [-], [-] and [-] on the central axis of the city are the core areas and operation centers of the city. From south to north, District [-] has a large number of The scientific research institution also has the only army stationed in Vice City. The identity of the legion leader is unknown. District [-] is located in the center of the entire city. The buildings of the city hall and various political organs are located in that area, but they cannot Find out who the leader is. The Ninth District is a guarded residential area. Those vicious criminals who want to enter the city must live in that place for more than a year before they can freely choose a residence in the urban area, and they don’t know the management there. Who is the victim, although there are many small things, but there has never been a big thing. Finally, there is the black market in the tenth district, which is full of illegal transactions such as organ smuggling, drugs, arms, etc., and it is also the darkest place in the entire vice city. The black market operators are also -"

"Unknown." Zhao Xihua raised the corner of his mouth.

Rosers spoke dryly, raised his glass and drank the wine in the glass.

"What a waste of good wine."

"If it can quench my thirst, it's not a waste." Rosers picked up the red wine bottle in the ice bucket and poured himself half a glass again, raised the glass and said to Zhao Xihua, "Then Miss Zhao already understands?"

"I'm sorry to trouble you for checking so many places these days." Zhao Xihua raised his glass together, "There is one more question, are you going to go through the process and leave this time, or are you going to give it a try?"

"Why don't you try?" Rothers smiled slyly, "It's fine if the tourists in this test field are all mediocre. There are two teams of you, plus Cheng Yurun and that cunning Zhang Yufeng, and Bai Mu. Those action guys, I’m afraid I won’t be able to meet such a luxurious lineup in five more testing grounds, and I feel ashamed if I don’t dig out the details of this city.”

"It sounds like Mr Rothers is very confident in convincing them."

"What I'm good at is making offers that others can't refuse." Rosers laughed loudly, "People always have some weaknesses in their hearts. If they attack these weaknesses, they will meet extremely strong resistance, but if they go first It’s hard to say no to helping them make up for it.”

"Oh? Then what is my weakness?"

"Business secrets, Ms. Zhao." Rosers waggled his fingers, "If I ask you anything in the future, you will know."

"Old fox." Zhao Xihua took a sip of red wine, "But I don't hate chatting with people like you."

"If I don't get Ms. Zhao's blue eyes, I'm afraid my 200 kilograms have already been buried in a mass grave? I'm really terrified."

Rothers raised his glass.

"For your wisdom."

"Hmph...for victory."

Zhao Xihua also raised his glass.
