Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Upon hearing Zhuang Xuteng's question, Morgana lowered her head, her whole body softened, and she suddenly became unhappy. She leaned against Zhuang Xuteng and said slowly: "In the past three months without you, life has been quite boring. Today I am always repeating what happened yesterday, and I will have to do it again tomorrow - I really don't want to talk about it anymore."

"No! PCPD has always been boring. I can understand that, but how is your experiment?" Zhuang Xuteng lowered his voice and asked gently: "Is there no progress? Or is it still stuck and you are back to the same place?"

"That's not true. We have gained something, but we can't continue." Morgana sighed and said, "The third set of experiments more than a month ago had very good results. I have already analyzed what is going on. The fourth set of experiments was also completed the day before yesterday, and the results of the third set of experiments were reproduced and verified. I am running the fifth set of experiments. If it is still the same, then there is no need to repeat it and the results can be directly recognized."

"In other words, there is now two-thirds certainty?"

"Now there is more than 75% certainty, and this is the only certainty." Morgana did not show joy or excitement because of this result. Zhuang Xuteng was puzzled and asked her why. Morgana replied: "I know where to go next to investigate, but I can't go. The road ahead is blocked,"

Considering that Zhuang Xuteng had no knowledge of chemistry, pharmacy, etc., Morgana tried her best to use a more popular method to explain to him. Her series of experiments confirmed the core mechanism of Safety Blue: it is not a chemical or biological agent, but something created using the power of divine magic with shadow magic as its core.

The gods have left this world for a long time. They left very decisively and completely. All temple systems, all priests, priests and magical users know clearly that the glory of the past is no longer there, and their magical power has also disappeared forever. The last legacy of the gods in this world are a few ruins, left in the care of several temple families. Later, these ruins were handed over to the company for management by the temple family on a lease basis for research. After complex authority transactions and exchanges, all the relics fell into the hands of the four major companies, and the managers were all controlled by the companies. The Temple family only had nominal ownership, but actually had no way to use its power.

Today's people want to experience the feeling of the age of magic for themselves, and these relics have become the only way. With the exception of companies and temple families, research into the history of gods and divine arts is completely cut off.

Even the temple family's research on divine arts is in a state of neglect. Morgana is very interested in magical arts, but the limit of her ability is to study witches' spells and potions, plus reading documents that record the history of magical arts. That is, through the literature, Morgana knew the names and effects of some magical spells, including a very powerful spell: Miracle Comes.

Through specific prayer rituals and the extremely focused beliefs of a large number of believers, the "holy light" energy required for divine magic is generated, which is then approved and transformed by the gods to achieve various effects. Even at the peak of the temple's power, the magic of miracles was one of the most powerful and difficult to achieve.

This spell is quite famous and has been recorded in many classics, which left a deep impression on Morgana. In the book "An Examination of Complex Ritual Issues", many taboos about the magic of miracles are described in detail, such as the dangerous consequences that may be caused by believers' inattention, selfishness and other problems. The same book also describes various phenomena that occur after a successful ritual, including the characteristics of objects created by divine magic.

Morgana discovered magical ingredients in the safety blue, and all the characteristics were in line with the description of the miraculous descending spell item.

"I don't understand, I can't understand it at all." Morgana said to Zhuang Xuteng: "In the era of gods, the effects of miracles can bring people back to life, can cure injuries and illnesses in a wide range, and can make people live longer. In the process of making items Sometimes, just making a Holy Grail, a Holy Sword, or providing spells for full-body armor must be done by piece. The quantity of safety blue is calculated by ton, and Miracles cannot be made."

Zhuang Xuteng said: "Then it is possible that it is not a miracle, or that the effect is similar, and you are wrong?"

Morgana shook her head and said: "First of all, I can 100% confirm that the magical ability is used in Safety Blue. It is definitely a magical creation. It is precisely because it is a magical creation that its various characteristics can be recognized as a god. The sign is coming. Zhuang Xuteng, it is first in the circle of magic. In this circle, can the company come up with something more powerful than the Peak Temple?"

"Maybe we really can't say for sure..." Zhuang Xuteng shrugged and said, "What kind of weird things won't happen these days?"

"No, it's absolutely impossible. Even if the company doesn't know how to achieve the level of the strongest temple in the past, where is the god? Well, taking a step back, they made a god through some kind of technology, and this god is even better than before The main god of light is even more powerful... Zhuang Xuteng, let me tell you, this god can't create that many safe blue potions!"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry...why are you so excited?" Zhuang Xuteng hugged Morgana hard and said with a smile: "It's normal to encounter things that you don't understand. It just means that we must continue to study and ponder, and turn the unknown into What can be known eventually becomes known - this is what you said! But I heard what you just said, now you are stuck at the 'knowable' step?"

"In the current environment, it is impossible to study magic unless you become a senior researcher of the company and then be lucky enough to join the research team of Safe Blue." Morgana sighed again and said: "I have always been very concerned about blue crystals and blue savages. Regarding the matter, my family’s channels are already the best outside the company. I used various channels to collect information, but I was completely unable to know about the safety blue in advance. You can understand how high the confidentiality level of the safety blue research project is within the company. .A level is certain, S level is possible."

"It's understandable. After all, it's one of the four major breakthroughs!" Zhuang Xuteng said.

"Actually, there are three major breakthroughs, not counting cars." Morgana said: "It's not that cars are bad. After oil is refined, it can coordinate with the shadow equipment without affecting each other. This in itself is a huge technological breakthrough. Through research It, especially the changes in the properties of oil, can enhance the understanding of Yingcong from the side. As a fuel, why can a steam engine that uses coal to boil water be matched with Yingcong, but oil can block Yingcong's energy, but gasoline is fine. Don’t you think it’s weird?”

Zhuang Xuteng said that he felt that everything he didn't understand was weird.

"Another reason why the car is not a breakthrough is: we already had a car before the company announced it. How can I not see the company's methods if others don't know it? They took the car invention away and claimed it was theirs . With their propaganda power, except for a few of us, everyone will think that the automobile is the company's four major breakthroughs. After a few generations, no one will know who the real inventor of the automobile is."

It's my brother Zhuang Teng - Zhuang Xuteng thought to himself.

Morgana said: "Remove the cars and replace them with chemical energy weapons. These are the company's four real breakthroughs: execution puppets, security blue, shadow cloning technology and chemical energy weapons. The confidentiality levels of these four are very high. , there was no news at all before the launch. You haven’t seen it in the news, right? It’s not in the rumors, right? Even conspiracy theories will not involve the four of them. I will tell you in addition, their related research and potential prerequisites Research does not exist in academia. Or to put it another way: the company controls all researchers, research successes, research ideas and research processes, and provides the highest level of confidentiality."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded: "The highest level of confidentiality measures is worthy of the four major breakthroughs. Cars, that's called a grand robbery."

Morgana nodded and said: "It is precisely because of the excellent confidentiality measures that there is an absolute information barrier. Even if I know that Safe Blue has a research project related to divine magic, I don't know where this project is or how. Join. I don’t even know where to ask.”

"Catch the senior management of the company and ask, someone must know." Morgana rolled her eyes and asked: "Then do you know who to arrest? Do you want to arrest them one by one? Do you think you can follow the clues? No, within the company That's not the case. The people below have no idea what the people above are doing, they only know what they want to do. If you don't look down from the top of the plan, you don't know which step is related to safety blue. And such a project More than one, maybe thousands or tens of thousands. The company is too big and you can’t handle that much information.”

"As desperate as it sounds, I still believe that it's all about the people."

Morgana smiled and said: "I like your personality, and I also like your other side: think of a solution first and refuse to be hot-headed."

"Yes, you know me very well." Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and said, "Since we can't break in for the time being, can we try to lure it out? I have an idea: forge a cultural relic related to the magic of miracles. See who bites the hook and then follow the clue upwards?”

"The internal structure of the company is not a line, but more like scattered points - you can't find them." Morgana shook her head and said.

"I don't understand, but I believe what you said." Zhuang Xuteng spread his hands and said: "To put it simply, this is like a headless case: I know there is such a thing, but there are no clues at all, so I can't start."

"Yes, that's what it feels like. This is the worst feeling!"

"I have another idea!" Zhuang Xuteng licked his lips and said: "This method is a bit inhumane: if you let someone publish your research results, or take a step back and promote this conspiracy theory, you can probably not Lead it out?"

Morgana shook her head and said: "If it's just one person, maybe the person who comes is just a gang killer, or simply someone in your mercenary industry. There is even a possibility: PCPD caught him. The essence of the matter It’s simple: we’re all little people.”

"I'm a billionaire, you're a temple saint, and together we're still considered a nobody?"

"When did I become a saint in the temple? Don't talk nonsense, there has been no saint for a long time! Even if there is a chance, I will not be that decoration." Morgana shook her head, suddenly startled, and said: "Uh, you are Billionaire? What have you done again?"

"Nothing done." Zhuang Xuteng deliberately let his eyes drift.

"No! You must have done something!" Morgana grabbed Zhuang Xuteng's shoulders and shook her hard, saying, "Okay, you are so uninterested! I told you everything about the serious matter of dismantling the company's safety blue, you You're a little mercenary, and you still can't tell the truth!"

"If it involves the client, out of professional standards, I definitely can't tell you. You are the PCPD, and telling you is tantamount to informing you." Zhuang Xuteng pursed his lips, and finally couldn't help but smile, and said, "I really want to Let me share with you. I did something big: I killed Rosa Miles, one of the three elders of the Canghuo Gang."

"Rosa Miles...Ms. President? I heard that she is planning to retire and wants to get into the court system. Is she this person?" Morgana tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "She is dead. ? Are you sure? There is no news at all!"

"I did it myself, and she died in front of me. Can I lie to you?" Zhuang Xuteng said: "I found a lot of money from her family's treasury, and it should be about 100 million in my hands, so I Talk about billionaires. The Canghuo Gang is really rich. The family of one of the three elders has several hundred million. How much money does the entire gang have..."

"Well...you must know that bank accounts can be traced, so you wouldn't be stupid enough to include that part, so you took cash?"

"Yes. Euro notes and platinum coins. No tracker, I checked three times."

"I assume that Yanque and Nightingale are moving with you. Since Brother Dao has been busy working on the moat, so he is not included. I will count them as three people first. You will take away at least 300 million from the Canghuo Gang this time." Morgana shook her head and said: "PCPD has calculated that the Canghuo Gang's liquidity is between 200 million and 300 million, and it will not exceed 400 million at most. This operation of yours has wiped out the Canghuo Gang."

"Is the Canghuo Gang that poor? Don't they have seven, eight or nine billion?"

"How can you have so much money!" Morgana managed to make Zhuang Xuteng laugh. She pinched Zhuang Xuteng's face and said: "Although the PCPD has never killed the gang, if anyone knows the gang best, it is the PCPD."

"Isn't it a company?" Zhuang Xuteng retorted immediately, and said: "It's not a good thing to know the gang best. The PCPD has done a lot of cooperation with the gangs. Didn't they torment the Moat Company together a while ago? We are hooked up, can we not? understood?"

"There are many people in the PCPD who don't like Moat Company, thinking that it takes away jobs and financial allocations. I don't agree with this, so in Taiping District, this kind of thing against Moat will not happen. Shangcheng District does not...oh, No wonder they promoted me and transferred me, it turned out to be just for this..."

"Did you help Brother Dao in Shangcheng District?"

Morgana shook her head and said: "It's not to help him, but two groups of gangs are fighting. I will definitely not watch the show. I will definitely catch them immediately. At least I can disperse them. Damn! This may be the reason!"

"Don't be angry. If I kill the gangster leader and steal their money, I'll take it out on you, right?"
