Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 32 Chapter 31
Master Lich warned Zhuang Xuteng that if he does not provide shadow energy, the next meditation will be the last.Since once he left the meditation, he couldn't go back for a while, so Zhuang Xuteng was very concerned about a question: Will the Lich Master dissipate due to lack of energy?
"You still haven't completely let go of the idea of ​​selling me." The Lich said, "Yes, without energy, I will dissipate and become a pure ghost without wisdom and only primitive hatred. You don't have to worry, at that time you will Will die. My hatred is bigger than any shadow you have ever heard, no one's brain can take it. You will either lose your mind completely and stop being yourself, or you will be brain dead quickly in the painful torture .”

Zhuang Xuteng was a little scared when he heard that scene, but he cheered up and asked, "You're not right? How did you bear so much hatred?"

"I couldn't bear it either, so I lost my brain and barely survived in the form of a pink skull." The Lich Master said: "The undead are cold, even if there is outrageous hatred, it can't cause a physical reaction through the nervous system. "

"You don't even want your body, but you also need to keep your hatred. You are so cruel to yourself..."

"Everyone of you is going to die, including you." The Lich Master said in a calm tone, as if he was telling the kind of daily facts that don't need to be proved, such as "everyone needs to sleep at night".

"I don't have any grudges with you, do I? Even if I want to sell you, it's just an idea, not a fact."

"So you can die later."

Zhuang Xuteng sighed, and said, "Okay, I can't do anything about you (temporarily). I just ask you to care about your own interests and keep a low profile as much as possible while I'm still useful to you. Get me into trouble."

"Stop rambling, get the shadow from the energy earlier."

It is not a comfortable thing to have a sane, hateful shadow parasitic in the body, the key problem is that Zhuang Xuteng has nothing to do with it.

First of all, he can't risk his life, so he can't deliberately starve it to death; he can't try to peel it off before confirming that there are no hidden dangers in the body.Moreover, even if he wanted to, he had no method or channel.Now that I think about it carefully, I realize how naive and ridiculous the idea of ​​"getting a living shadow can make a fortune" is.

To get rid of fantasy and face reality, Zhuang Xuteng has only one way to go, and that is struggle.

There were still two days left before Lucy's commission, and he had no intention of resting and waiting, but started earnestly preparing for it.

Lucy did not say the specific situation of the "chef", this is out of the principle of entrusted confidentiality.Initially, the mercenary can only see the brief summary of the entrusted task, and the specific information will not be given until the mercenary confirms the acceptance of the entrustment.The intermediary reviews the mission specification to see if it matches the previous brief.And this commission was sent by a middleman, without the step of review, Zhuang Xuteng had to trust Lucy's "ethics" and bet that she would not deliberately conceal or deceive in the commissioned task.

At present, he only knows that the "chef" is a member of the gang, and because of his good skills, he is valued, so there will be no lack of protection.The first thing I have to do is to learn the knowledge of shadows, and then find a way to understand this person, it is best to grasp his weakness.In any case, killing him is definitely not the first choice. It is obviously a better choice to use threats to make him submit, or get rid of his big mouth problem.

Since he wanted to join a gang, he couldn't escape the harassment of gangsters, so he had to find a way to protect himself.Gang members often use fists, clubs, swords and stun batons as weapons, and a few also have black market unstable shadow guns.Among them, there is really nothing to do with the shadow gun, there are only two possibilities: dodging and praying for good luck; fists and sticks are relatively low-threatening, and if necessary, you can bear it a few times, not necessarily desperately; as for the sword... If the opponent takes it If he raised his sword, he had to fight back immediately.

"I have to have an electric shock baton. It must be portable and easy to hide. It must be hard enough to withstand a sword's chopping. It must be powerful enough to knock down the enemy with one blow." Zhuang Xuteng pondered in his heart. "As for the anti-shock baton, can it be grounded with a wire inside the clothes?"

He didn't know whether this would work, so he immediately set off to the market to find out.He spent 150 Euros to buy an electric shock baton modified from a steel clip-type swing stick, and a metal shirt that claims to reduce electric shock damage.

"This is a lightweight shark-proof suit. At that time, there were piranhas in the Peihe River, and some fishermen who needed to go into the water relied on this to save their lives. Don't look at it as old, it can be used without any problem." The enthusiastic boss said: "Two floors There are metal wires buried in the middle of the light fabric, so the piranhas can't bite. The wire conducts electricity, so you can ground it. Also, in the core area of ​​​​the heart and stomach, and the corresponding parts of the back, the inner layer adds Insulating fabric. You can still get stabbed hard, but you're unlikely to get electrocuted."

The advertisement is not trustworthy, but the boss put on that dress and asked Zhuang Xuteng to shock him. If he is knocked down by the shock, Zhuang Xuteng can grab his shop at will.This attitude is admirable, so Zhuang Xuteng did it.The boss was sweating profusely from the shock, his hands and feet were shaking, and there were many bleeding spots on his calf, but he did not fall down, which proved that this set of equipment was useful.

The 150-euro electric rod and grounding suit gave Zhuang Xuteng a little self-protection ability.

The grounding suit is not perfect, it requires a wire to be connected to the ground at all times.It is best not to expose this wire obviously. In other words, Zhuang Xuteng can only wear long trousers this summer and use the trouser legs to cover the wires.At the same time, the ground suit is a double-layer fabric with a metal wire in the middle, which has poor air permeability.Considering that it needs another piece of clothing to cover it, the heat dissipation is even worse.

"This is the rhythm of death." Zhuang Xuteng sighed.

Bring your clothes first and see if you can use them.Zhuang Xuteng spent two days practicing the use of swinging sticks, and at the same time used running for physical training.I can't practice anything in two days, but this is a beginning after all, and it will always be useful if I persist in it in the future.In this way, the time soon came to the day to pick up the task.

He came to Lucy's house as promised, but this time Brother Dao was not there.If there is no role for him in the entrusted task, then he is not qualified to know the details of the entrustment.Whether the partner is a partner or not has nothing to do with this matter. Lucy wants to show the professionalism of a middleman, and the personal relationship between Naike and Brother Dao is not within her consideration.

"You have to use an alias to enter. The mercenary code name Naike cannot be used. Although you have only completed one commission and are an absolute newcomer in the mercenary world, if someone in the gang pays attention to mercenaries, it is still possible to find you , and then doubt your purpose."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, admitting that what Lucy said made sense.

"You are a newcomer. At present, only Brother Dao and I know what you look like. This is an advantage for you. You use Jay Pinkman as your pseudonym, and you use J.P when you sign. You can tell the chef that you owe me A lot of money, and I have to work for me for the rest of my life. You can develop the specific content yourself. My suggestion is that if you can act cowardly and fearful, it should be more beneficial."

"The chef's real name is unknown, and the Wild Monkey Gang has hidden his past and even erased his identity information in the PCPD. I can find out that he has signed with W·W, which is likely to be the abbreviation of his real name. He is in the gang The code name in the game is Heisenberg, and he explained the name to me: his own studio is called Mystery Castle, the Wild Monkeys live in the forest, and Peicheng is the sea outside the forest.”

Zhuang Xuteng cast a look of surprise in his black eyes, and said, "Oh, so that's how Heisenberg came from!"

"I have already contacted him, and he is willing to accept you as an apprentice. After you go, the contact and dialogue with the gang will be conducted by Heisenberg. You can accept whatever he covers for you." Lucy said: "Let me remind you that you must be extremely careful. Although Heisenberg does have the idea of ​​returning my favor, his motivation will not be too strong, nor will he be very firm. It is definitely not a place for long-term learning. I will leave it to you. The safe time is only one month at most.”

"After more than a month, the Wild Monkey Gang will definitely recruit you into the gang, or attack you because they can't find out your detailed information. No matter what happens above, you will be in danger. So after a month, no matter what you learn How much, have you completed the task of 'shut up', you'd better get out of there."

Zhuang Xuteng remembered carefully and nodded slowly.

"Then, here is the specific joint method, and the identity token. You do as required and hand over the things to Heisenberg." Lucy said, "That guy is a middle-aged man, about 1.8 meters tall, with no hair, like Beard. Brown-black beard, centered around the chin. He looks a little skinny and a little stooped, but he's capable of multi-slaves, and you can't underestimate his size as a threat."

"This guy likes to talk a lot, and he can't control his mouth, so if you can find a way to make him talk, maybe you can speed up your learning progress." Lucy said: "You go to the Wild Monkey Gang, it's best not to bring any weapons , that can’t help you, but may cause trouble. I estimate that you will encounter at least two or three body searches, remember not to be impulsive, don’t get angry, you can’t go against a whole gang, so safety first, patience first.”

Zhuang Xuteng hurriedly said: "I brought the electric shock baton and grounding suit, can I take it with me?"

"Yes, take them all off, those things are useless." Lucy said: "Don't worry, I prepared a life-saving thing for you, and I won't let you go empty-handed. It's just that this thing is more troublesome. You just went It’s definitely not going to work, at least for a day or two.”

"why?"

"You have to swallow it first, and then you can use it after you pull it out."
