Returning from the abyss

Chapter 893 Mercenaries and Networks

After Lu Ning and Xia Er intercepted and killed a person again, Yin Xiu's message was also delivered at this moment.

Shire skillfully collected the loot, while Lu Ning turned on the phone to check the received messages.Yin Xiu first reported that he was safe, and then told Lu Ning what he had noticed.

"Although I don't know who it is, is there already some hostility among the tourists? It's normal...Since Yin Xiu has been attacked, there is a high possibility that we will encounter assassinations from tourists in the future. In order to avoid this situation , it’s better to take the initiative.”

[Lu Ning, if you believe in our covenant, please go to the following three places to check the traces left by an organization called "Mongoose".I deduced the approximate scope of activities based on their previous conversations, but neither my supervisor nor I have time to take care of this matter now. It may not be that important, but it may become a useful pawn for us later.In addition, I know that you have already met Gui Yaoying. She has a certain cooperative relationship with us, but I can't fully believe it. This is the position I can provide. 】

"This guy is pretty reliable..." Lu Ning swiped down the information and saw three addresses.She was able to agree to continue to cooperate with Yin Xiu because she liked this man, although he was a bit arrogant, but he did have his own meticulousness in doing things.This time, he escaped the assassination by being kidnapped. I don't know if it was luck or he had arranged it.

"Charles, have you packed your things?"

"No problem, our goal has changed again?"

"Yeah, adapt? Our goals change often."

"Before you were planning to do things here first."

"Because if there is nothing else to do, pick the important ones first. As for such an opportunity, I can create one myself in the future." Lu Ning pulled the light in front of her eyes, "Area 4 of the base, near the entrance , there is a building similar to an art museum, and the building itself is only used as an exterior scene, and the interior is currently only decorated briefly, and in the future it should be set according to the requirements of the filming party. But..."

"Is there someone now? But now it's a long way to go, it's like we're going back to the hotel." Charles said.

"Run more errands, it's raining anyway, exercise to strengthen your body." Lu Ning smiled.

For the two of them now, this battlefield may not be easy to get involved in, but leaving is much easier.It's just that before she left completely, she felt several birdsongs in her ears.

Are you being watched by something?That's what I'm used to.

Area 4 is located at the back of Areas 1 and 2, and the gate on the west side can directly enter this area.In terms of design, compared with the much modernized No. 1 and No. 2 areas, this area tends to be more artistic and gather various special modern buildings, so the area is actually not small.When she arrived here in the midst of the heavy rain, Lu Ning was already soaked in the rain—she did it on purpose, and the coldness was her partner at the moment.

"Heat source?"

"Except for some of the staff in the sentry box, I haven't seen any heat sources in human form. Of course, if they are the teams you mentioned that carry out various assassinations, there will definitely be no lack of basic self-concealment methods." Xia Xia "We could go around here a lot, but I think most of it would be useless," said Hall.

"It doesn't matter, we have the detailed address anyway."

Lu Ning glanced at the phone: "Xiaer, you don't need to be in charge of the investigation, you can just be in charge of the battle, and leave the task of investigation to me, understand?"

"of course can."

The two rushed towards the art gallery. Lu Ning's eyes were already looking around through the light in front of her eyes. The cracks that gradually expanded and disappeared seemed to have some kind of rhythm. Almost all of them are occupied by pure light and darkness, but they can still see everything around them.

Can see "shape".

The overly complicated configuration made Lu Ning temporarily unable to understand what these figures like messy strings were.But she soon discovered certain properties, coherent properties.So Lu Ning almost subconsciously cut off such coherence in her mind-then they formed a picture.

Although it was only for a moment, Lu Ning was sure that she had captured the "light of the past".

Can the Light Mantra transcend time?But... for light, it would be strange if it has no connection with time, right?In contrast, the time-related things mastered by "Zai" are like fragments. Fortunately, Lu Ning was able to adapt to the incongruity brought about by this huge sense of time, which reminded her of the glimpse in the past. The birth and death of the observed universe.

"I see." Lu Ning said to Xia Er in a low voice, "When I point my finger, I release the attack directly."

"it is good."

Lu Ning rushed into the art gallery, and a composition of pure light threads appeared in front of her eyes like a strobe, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, but it was worth it compared to the information she got.

In those past clips, she finally saw a human-like configuration. Humans should hold some instruments in their hands, or something else?She couldn't see too clearly from such a clip, but as long as she caught the signal, she knew which direction to follow.

Go to the right, go around a corridor, go upstairs, empty exhibition area, small exhibition hall, pass through two blocks...

In an instant, Lu Ning finally found the abnormal line.A ray of light seemed to be broken and came into contact with the wall.

Is it the wall?But no, there are windows in this exhibition hall, and it can be clearly seen that there is no hidden space between the wall and the outside. If you attack the wall, it will probably only open a big hole leading to the outside.

But there must be someone hidden in the wall. "Snake mongoose"... In this regard, Yin Xiu failed to provide what kind of abilities and characteristics the other party has, so Lu Ning can actually guess a little bit.

She looked around, then took off her wet robe and flicked it vigorously, a large number of water droplets splashed on the wall in front of her, and some dark water stains appeared on the white wall immediately.Lu Ning turned her gaze to the wall where she saw the light overlapping, the water droplets formed a silhouette on the wall, but the point was not the wall - Lu Ning immediately pointed out, she was sure that Charles had just seen it, his Dynamic vision is definitely better than yourself!
Charles has also immediately pulled out a gun shaped like a trumpet. This is obviously not a conventional weapon. The moment Charles pulled the trigger, the surrounding space immediately trembled unsteadily, followed by Before Lu Ning's eyes, a "house" suddenly swelled from the floor and walls.

"The method of space concealment is not particularly clever." Charles dragged Lu Ning away from the inflated house, and then kicked open the door. There was actually a downward staircase directly behind the door.

"...and pretty poorly designed."

"Be careful, there should be three to four people here." Lu Ning narrowed her eyes, and the light in front of her eyes suddenly decreased. In this specially created space, there seemed to be a lot less disturbing information, but she couldn't Judging by extracting the light from the past, because the traces of human activities inside are much denser than outside, and there is no accuracy of judgment.

"I didn't see anyone, do you want to attack with a disabled bullet first?"

"They must also know that we have broken in. The space concealment method has failed, so it is impossible not to notice it." Lu Ning looked left and right, there was no strange light on both sides of the stairs, and Charles hacked in with an axe, and then died. Walk down the stairs, of course, there is no one on both sides.

It is very troublesome to make such a space, and its area will not be very large.The two walked down the stairs of about two meters, and soon came to the real hiding place downstairs.But unexpectedly, there was no ambush here. Five people in green camouflage were already sitting in the small hall, with weapons in hand, waiting for the two to come down with displeasure.

Charles took half a step forward, with the ax lying in front of the two of them.

A man sitting on a sofa in the center was smoking a pipe, staring at Charles with a pair of triangular eyes.He has a very obvious coat of arms on his chest, which depicts a creature like a mongoose.

"Uninvited guests... The way you entered the door is very barbaric. If you hadn't had some skill, I would have stuffed the barrel of a gun in your mouth." The man was unhappy, "Tell me, why did you come here?"

"I didn't expect that you are really here, so it's easy to handle. Let's make it clear. I'm here on behalf of Mr. Yin Xiu." Lu Ning tried her best to show a friendly smile, "Everyone of the snake mongoose, actually Are you hired?"

"You can tell if you have eyes, or is our style not obvious enough?" The man said sarcastically, and then pointed to the stool opposite him, "Sit there, our last order is over , I am worried about placing an order, since you are here, you still represent the rich young man, so I think you can give us a satisfactory price."

"The price is the best thing to say." Lu Ning had no intention of saving Yin Xiu money at all.

In an unfriendly atmosphere, the conversation finally started.

The snake mongoose fits the characteristics of those mercenary groups that have no sense of morality at all.Their world travel ability is rented, because this is not their field of expertise.They are greedy, they only pursue money, and they are also obsessed with power, but they also abide by their own mercenary principles-because if they do not abide by everything in this business, they will have been wiped out long ago.

As for their leader, he simply called himself "Mongoose".

"It's impossible to get information about other employers from us." The snake mongoose sneered, "You should also know that if we don't abide by this rule, we will probably be wiped out by the employer."

Some people hire this kind of team not because they are not strong enough, but because there are some things that they can't do well. It seems that the snake mongoose will inevitably have such a situation.

"We don't need to know who your employer is. We will investigate this kind of thing ourselves. I just want to ask... Can you really take on any task? As long as it is in your professional field?"

"Are you trying to provoke me?" Snake Mongoose sneered, "We don't just work by ourselves... What's your goal? Tell me, and I can give you an estimate on the spot."

"Ash of the world..."

"Cough." The meerkat coughed immediately, "If you don't have the sincerity to talk, we don't mind sending you away with bullets."

Lu Ning smiled: "Should you know about the actions of the dust of the world in Shenyuan City before?"

"It's easy to find out about such a big thing."

"At that time, Dust of the World dealt with some forces, but there were other forces lurking in Shenyuan City that were not eliminated. You should also know."

"So what? Did you have a problem with them?"

"Of course." Lu Ning sneered, "Although I didn't suffer any injuries, I still hold a grudge. And I just don't have much time to deal with them right now, and you just happen to be very convenient."

"Oh?"

"If you only have appearance, can you find the target?" Lu Ning asked with a smile.

The mongoose turned his head and gestured to his little brother: "Give her a board."

The younger brother took out a wooden board with paper sandwiched on it from the cabinet next to it, and handed it to Lu Ning. Such a retro thing has nothing to do with the technological means they displayed.

"Whether you use writing or painting, try to write the features as much as possible, and we can do it. Of course, if we find the target, we will discuss the price with you. We charge money to do things. [-]% beforehand, [-]% afterwards, Do not default."

"Two people, if you find out who else is close to these two people, then I will add money to kill those people. Is this a good deal? Let's discuss by the way, the 'money' you accept is what?"

The snake mongoose's eyes suddenly became dark: "Actually, you two are rich people in my eyes."

No matter how traditional the Meerkat appears to be on the surface, this kind of organization that can conduct business across the world will not be very simple.The greed in the eyes of the captain of the snake mongoose almost regarded the two as rare treasures, and even Lu Ning felt that he was the same as seeing his relatives.

When she walked out of that space, Lu Ning thought about it and called Yin Xiu.

"Lu Ning? You move fast."

"You are also very fast. Since everyone knows my whereabouts, it seems that I have returned to the base safely?"

"Hahaha, well, what should I say? Information about the mongoose?"

"I found it. The meerkat is a second-hand dealer, and he can also do some business. I'm not sure how strong their own capabilities are, so I cast a bait to see how close their network is."

"Sounds okay, by the way, what should I pay them? I can offer whatever I can offer here."

"That's not necessary. I will report to you when there is a follow-up. The reward they want is exactly what we don't lack."

"What is it?"

"The killing experience is best filled with blood and violence." Lu Ning raised the corners of her mouth, "It fits the style of their mercenary group."

Yin Xiu's laughter came from the other side of the phone. After about a minute, he stopped and said, "Understood. Anyway, I'm back in touch. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. That's right... Lu Ning, I have some news from Wei Jia, I think it is necessary to share it with you."

"what?"

"At the beginning, Wei Jia and the other two members of the base group didn't like this kind of random team formation, so they just split up. I thought that was the case. But today Wei Jia contacted those two people, and found that they couldn't get in touch... I The body of one of them named Tian Kun was found here." There were some slight clicks of buttons on the other end of the phone, which was the sound of Yin Xiu adjusting the surveillance.

"Another tourist died?"

"I don't know this person, so whether he dies or not has nothing to do with me. But in this way, the suspicion falls on the other person, Lu Ning, you have to pay attention to this person named Zuo Xiaobi."
