Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 618 Chapter 615 Weird Treatment
Elizabeth Shaw kept looking for opportunities, but after she missed the short window of the middleman war, there was no better time to start. After a day spent in vain, she had to retreat and was furious when she returned to the office. She first scolded the person responsible for keeping an eye on the line of information on the Scarecrow Naike, and then gave a "greeting" to the intelligence officer who was paying attention to the line of middlemen-mercenaries. Finally, she summoned her team members to a confidential conference room to discuss information that only insiders could know.

"This scarecrow Naike has caused many investigation teams to suffer a lot. I didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen again!" Elizabeth Xiao said calmly, as if she who was angry just now was just an illusion. "We can still push the problem to other departments this time, but we may not be so lucky next time."

She clearly pointed out that Peicheng was a very strange place, and many of Dingxin Magic's actions failed inexplicably. Kaho, who was able to abide by the company's regulations on other occasions, let himself go when he came here, and then "let himself go" to death.

Colonel Taft, who came to investigate the murderer in the first wave, was focused on making money and did nothing at work, so he could only be removed from the company's directory. Later, people were sent to track down the murderer again, but Isabella couldn't stay online for a moment and died as soon as she turned around. When everyone discovered that the Gardeners organization was just the unlucky ones who were pushed out to take the blame, and the real murderer was at large, someone once again noticed Naike, who was ruled out as a suspect by Colonel Taft in the first wave. Everyone wanted to find his location, but nothing came of it for more than half a year, until he took the initiative to return from the Constitutional Capital City.

"We spent a lot of time on him. We used combat puppets to test his combat effectiveness, but the result was that he was not even pushed to his limit. We gave him a demanding task, and how long did it take to complete it? Seeing Palovic's body , How many people have to feel ashamed? Isn't that a slap in the face?" Elizabeth Xiao said: "Including this time..."

Through intelligence analysis, Dingxin Magic believes that Lucy is about to launch a middleman war against Lao Mo. This is a rare exception where the company's headquarters-level intelligence analysis capabilities are used for low-level forces such as local middlemen-mercenaries. Elizabeth Shaw believed that this was an excellent opportunity to quietly kill Nike and eliminate almost all future troubles. But everyone also knows the result: Scarecrow Naike relied on his early action to complete the middleman war before the company's observers arrived. Elizabeth Xiao and others simply did not find any opportunity to strike.

"For Scarecrow Nike, is this luck or strength? If it's luck, why is his luck so good? If it's strength, then he must be eradicated!" Elizabeth Shaw tapped the table with her fingertips and said, "The weird events we encountered in Peicheng are increasingly concentrated on Scarecrow. He is like a vortex that attracts weird stories. Don't forget Dr. Egghead, his helicopter crashed near Nike, no more than 30 kilometers away. This is too weird, do you understand what weird means?"

Elizabeth Xiao looked at everyone and saw that they all had constipation-like expressions on their faces, so she nodded and said: "It seems that you all know: If it is determined that this is an evil thing that cannot be solved by the people below, the technical audit department of the headquarters will Come on. We will be the first to be unlucky. You should all know this: if you suffer a technical audit, your life will be lost first.”

"Those guys usually mainly serve the high-level reformers of the development team, and they also deal with weird things in the shadow world. They are very heavy-handed! If he..." Before Elizabeth could finish her words, she was hit by an emergency message. broken. She put two fingers on her temples and tilted her head to accept the encrypted communication. Her brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and deep grooves were squeezed out of her armored skin. After receiving the message, she suddenly raised her hand and punched it down, causing the table in front of her to shatter to the ground without a sound.

"Asshole! What a mess! Now I finally understand what's going on!" Elizabeth distributed the news to the team members and said at the same time: "The Special Department launched an operation to kill Ge Gongdao, but Naike happened to go to Ge Gongdao, so the plan failed. Naike took action in advance, and the most damning thing is: Naike should be wary of us!"

"Why does the Special Department want to engage in engineering?" one of them asked.

"I have ordered an inspection of the entire decision-making process. I have clearly given an order not to disturb Naike. The people around him, such as Ge Gongdao and Morgana, cannot be targeted. We must be the first to take action. This order Why hasn't it been implemented?" Elizabeth Xiao was most angry about this detail. "I want a detailed report on this operation of the Special Department. Liu, go and supervise the completion of this matter immediately. Come back here and report within half an hour!"

Elizabeth Xiao was furious, and now she obviously had to do a good job to satisfy her, otherwise it would be unbearable to vent her anger on anyone. After one team member went out, another person immediately said: "Commander, there is an urgent matter that must be done as soon as possible. This scarecrow Naike is very good at hiding. He has been completely out of our control for half a year. We must guard against him. Play this again.”

"Last time, he even hid in Constitution City, the capital, right under everyone's noses." Elizabeth Xiao scratched her hair and said, "Do you have any suggestions? Should we act now?"

"It is not appropriate to take any high-profile action now. The Reese family has just submitted a report on Naike becoming a family member. This time is relatively sensitive. If... no, it should be said that even a watertight action will be regarded as a threat and persecution by the Reese family. Follow-up There will be a lot of trouble. The headquarters once had instructions to satisfy these temple survivors and keep them quiet so as not to affect the company's strategic plan. "

Elizabeth Xiao nodded, she was very aware of the headquarters' concerns. Don't cause trouble for the leaders in your line, otherwise the headquarters will cause trouble for her. "The best way at present is to kill Naike when he is on a mission so that he can be blamed on others. Arrange white gloves, especially clean ones, find a reason to hire Naike, and then we ambush him. It is best to put him It's easier to lead them out of the city. The satellite city is the next best thing. Let's check who has the operating costs..."

New news came, and Elizabeth Xiao still answered it with her fingers on her temples. After listening, she punched in the air, the wind roared, and the incomplete desk creaked and moved. Everyone looked at her in confusion. They had never seen such a rude boss.

"The latest report from the Peicheng Intelligence Coordination Group: Lucy, the middleman, has raised Scarecrow Naike's appearance fee to a record-breaking 500 million euros! If you want to ask him to take action again, you must first prepare a deposit of at least 250 million!" Elizabeth Xiao gritted his teeth and said: "Fifty million euros, he really opened his mouth! Even with so much money, what kind of commission would be worth this amount? Stealing something worth 500 million yuan or killing someone worth 500 million yuan?" "

One team member shook his head and slipped out a sentence: "Maybe the assassination of Baden-Powell is worth the price."

Elizabeth Xiao swung her hand and used the airflow as a slap to hit the talkative guy in the face. "You're smart! You think fast, right? Why don't you let him assassinate the bosses? Five hundred million yuan means that only corporate power can afford this money. It's impossible for him not to understand that as long as someone pays It's a trap." "Commander, is this a demonstration by Scarecrow Naike?"

"No, it's not like a demonstration, but more like a showdown." Elizabeth Shaw said, "He sensed the danger, so he used this method to turn down the commission. Rumor has it that he made a lot of money from the corpse of the local gang leader in Peicheng, and he can survive without being a mercenary, not to mention Morgana. He knows how he is most likely to be arranged, so he made a big fuss about the 2.5 million. If we pay the deposit and then kill him during the operation, then the deposit will become his funeral expenses. In other words, Nike asked us a question: I want to sell my life for million, do you want it?"

"Impossible! He's not worth that price at all!"

"Anger and denial are the easiest emotional reactions, but think about it carefully, if that guy hides again, is our face worth 2.5 million?" Elizabeth Xiao calmed down, thought for a moment, and said: "Let The intelligence team will keep an eye on him through the Internet and will not let go of any clues. I will apply for higher intelligence analysis capabilities, including using Baishou's core resources. From now on, all actions will be limited to the real world. It is possible for him to escape immediately."

"Also, mobilize a group of fixed-point killings to come to Peicheng and stay on standby at all times. If we want to eliminate Naike, we need a faster and more stable strike capability than helicopters." Elizabeth Xiao looked at the time, it was almost half an hour About to arrive……

Xiao Liu pushed open the door and came in, holding a storage image slave chip high. "Commander, the information from the Special Department, I finally understand what's going on."

Give the chip to the intelligence officer in the team, who will be responsible for disassembly and security, and then distribute the clean data to everyone. It has to be said that Xiao Liu acted very efficiently, retaining important facts and evidence and not giving the Special Department any chance.

This time the Special Department's actions were reckless and in fact ignored and affected the operational rights and interests of the Elizabeth Group. Their action instructions came from the Peicheng Business Development Department, purely to speed up the acceptance of Moat, possibly to allow someone from a certain department to take over as soon as possible. It can be said that this is an action that puts personal interests above the company's internal command chain. Regardless of how the conclusion was reached during the research stage that this move was very profitable, this task should not be approved and should not be executed. Not to mention failed.

The specific process of the failure was also analyzed. Among them, Scarecrow Naike's actions were very reasonable and there was nothing to blame at all. The only uncertainty was the specific content of his two encrypted calls. According to the analysis, Naike first answered the call from the middleman Lucy and knew that he wanted to take action. Only then did he come up with the idea of ​​​​taking Ge Gongdao with him. Considering their relationship as brothers and partners, and the fact that Scarecrow currently has no other partners, this all makes sense.

The timing was a coincidence. When Naike arrived, the operators of the Special Department had just retreated, and there was a little friction between the two sides. Dingxin Mochuang's intelligence personnel believed that Naike might have overheard certain conversations, became more vigilant, and then most likely warned Ge Gongdao. It is still not possible to draw a clear conclusion on this judgment. We can only judge from the "car cleaning" incident that seemed too deliberate. It is possible that the mouths of the Special Department operators were not kept tightly.

"Look, we can't find fault with Naike at all, but he just slipped through our fingers. No matter how powerful he is, he can't mobilize the power within the company to carry out such clever cooperation! This matter is getting worse and worse. It’s getting weirder and weirder!”

All along, the four major companies, including Dingxin Magic, have a consensus: given their size, no one can confront them head-on. Four corporate wars have proven this. If a company has problems, the greatest probability is internal, especially the consumption caused by internal struggles, corruption, and inefficiency. In addition, in order to maintain full attention to "abnormal events", it is necessary to determine whether the cause of the abnormality is an occasional random event or whether there is a conspiracy being carried out by forces.

This is a lesson learned from the corporate wars. When companies control the military, local governments, gangs and other forces to fight, losses can be controlled. The losses that really hurt the company all started with some strange phenomena and were ultimately attributed to the machinations of other companies. Because shadow followers' spells and shadow followers' abilities are all kinds of weird, some abilities can be combined to create incredible phenomena. Therefore, from that time on, a department was set up specifically to deal with strange events, which reported directly to the board of directors, but was usually affiliated with the development team. It is one of the few departments that is more ruthless to its own people than to outsiders. Its most important responsibility is to prevent the fortress from being breached from within.

For both safety and future, no one wants to mess with this department, including Elizabeth Xiao.

"Strictly investigate the Special Department and make sure that they ignore orders and act recklessly. No matter which group of people is leading this matter, we are worried that there is no way to resolve the chain problems that may be caused by 500 million scarecrows." Elizabeth Xiao Said: "Remember, we are not looking for a scapegoat, but the culprit! Do this well first, the sooner the better. Report to the superiors early, and we can still take the initiative. It's really tricky... The descendant family of the temple Why did you pick up such a mistake?"

The fish that slipped through the net, Zhuang Xuteng, didn't know that Elizabeth Xiao was orchestrating him, and he was preparing for the next stage of action. Now that the company has been set as the main opponent, we must strive to know ourselves and the enemy. At this time, he looked at the map near Dingxin Magic's headquarters, thinking about finding a nearby residence or office so that he could use his sensory tentacles to peek. At present, the intelligence ability of sensing tentacles is the most important guarantee to compete with the company. If we can gain an advantage from this and take action in advance, we can not only avoid danger, but also have the opportunity to injure Dingxin Magic.

He carefully checked for a long time, and finally felt that any house on the ground was not safe, and it was impossible not to leave traceable clues for the company, whether it was buying or renting a house. Just look at the crime rates in those communities and you will know that the power of the company has penetrated them many years ago. Whether it is PCPD or gangs, they can only stay away from there. If gangsters don't cause trouble and gangs don't do anything, can the crime rate not be low? Can it be difficult to move here?

Zhuang Xuteng only came up with two solutions: one was to go in quietly and use hidden means to stay in other people's homes. Another plan is to drill into the sewer and explore the Dingxin Magic Building from underground. The core idea of ​​both plans is the same: not to alert anyone on that block, so as not to hit the line. Since he needs to spy for a long time, he prefers the first method. Hiding in someone else's house is definitely more comfortable than hiding in the sewer, but who should he choose as the target?
