Hunter Queen: Killer Queen.

Chapter 123 Geralt × Assassination × Date
Joey still has some ideas about how to collect intelligence.

The identity of a professional hunter is the easiest to find some information. Although Joey does not have the identity of a professional hunter, he knows many professional hunters.

When he decided to collect information about Geralt, Joey went directly to Xiaojie.

Xiaojie is not at all opposed to using his identity as a hunter to find some information on the Internet.

So Joey quickly got Geralt's specific information from the Internet with the help of Xiaojie.

Information like this can be entrusted and purchased in the information section of the hunter's official website.

But the price is not low at all. The asking price for such a piece of information is over ten million, and even depending on the level of detail of the information, the price can increase without limit.

But after reading the information recorded in it, Joey just wanted to say it was worth it.

The information contained not only records of Geralt's family members, but also the status of the guards around Geralt, and even a simple analysis of the strength of a small group of guards.

And at the end, there is a short section of summaries and guesses made by the survey hunters.

The summary is very simple, but the guess is a reasonable analysis based on the intelligence he obtained. It is an intelligence worth 300 million.

That is to say, for Joey to buy such a piece of information, the price reached 1700 million gin, which greatly reduced Joey's wallet again.

He finally understood that the wealth and freedom he thought before was just a naive thing he took for granted.

The more than 1 million ringgits in hand were simply not enough to spend. After most of them were spent on Milton, the remaining small amount made it difficult for him to even buy more specific information.

Joey still has a long way to go before he can achieve true financial freedom.

Now he only has less than 1000 million garni left, which is enough for accommodation and food, but not enough to buy news again.

This made him want to get more detailed information, so he had no choice but to investigate on his own.

What he needs now is a chance, a chance to meet Geralt alone.

At that time, he will decide how to deal with Geralt based on the specific situation.

Looking through the compiled information, Joey reconfirmed his action plan.

Geralt has two sons who have no father. If he dies, his two sons will become the heirs of the family. Overall, his family seems a bit small.

But even so, he holds hundreds of billions of assets in his hands. It can be said that even without Joey, he is an extremely attractive rich man.

With just hundreds of billions of assets, Geralt should only be considered a senior executive in the arena, not the core level.

The person in charge can be regarded as a shareholder of the arena, but no matter what, his identity cannot be underestimated.

But because he failed to reach the core level, there were countless attacks on him every year. Even the housekeepers of his family had experienced attacks.

This is not surprising to Joey. After all, this world is not a peaceful one. People with various abilities emerge in endlessly, including gangs, organizations, consortiums, and all kinds of criminals.

As long as you go to prisons in various places and meet all kinds of strange prisoners, you can understand the chaos of this world.

Especially where Geralt is, it's a sky arena where all kinds of talents come out.

With Geralt's wealth and status, it would be really abnormal for him not to be attacked.

However, amidst numerous attacks, Geralt still survived well. This must be attributed to Geralt's bodyguard group.

Geralt has an extremely powerful and professional bodyguard team, which includes not only capable people, but also outstanding talents in various security fields.

Some of these people he recruited from the Sky Arena, and some he trained himself.

The total number of his bodyguard team is 13, and they are mainly responsible for Geralt's safety when traveling.

In addition to this 13-person team, there are still two people following Geralt. One is Atikam, who has been the landlord on the 210th floor of the Sky Arena for a while, and the other has been acting as Geralt's The secretary's beauty.

Information about Atikam could still be obtained from some old people in the arena, but Misora ​​had no information leaked out at all, as if she was just a secretary.

But being able to be arranged by Geralt to protect him personally is enough to prove that the strength of Misora ​​and Atikam is destined to be extraordinary.

In addition, in the final analysis, the analysts believed that Geralt was also a person with abilities, which made the whole thing more difficult to plan.

Even judging from the current situation, with Joey's single-handed status, there is no chance for him and Geralt to meet except forcibly.

But the reason why Joey came here was not just to try his luck.

In the records, there are also a large number of Geralt's travel plans for the future, including records of watching games. In Joey's opinion, that is his biggest opportunity to get close to Geralt.

But no matter what, he had to get familiar with the terrain of the arena first.

So in the following days, Joey started to wander around the arenas on various floors like a loyal spectator who was keen on fighting.

Of course, his focus is on battles above 200 floors.

However, the tickets for watching battles above 200 floors are not cheap, so the money in Joey's hands has dropped rapidly in the past few days.

But he also received important information.

On October [-]st, there will be an important layer main battle!
A large poster has been put up. Although the names and photos of the two floor masters have not been clearly posted, Joey already knows the two sides of the battle.

Chulolo Rusilu and Sishomolo.

Both sides are floor masters. The difference is that Chrollo has completed a challenge before and is in a truce. This time it is considered a return battle.

Hisoka, on the other hand, challenged someone for the first time after becoming the floor leader.

It can be said that the gimmick will be filled up in half a month, and the Sky Arena will be overcrowded by then.

After all, every battle between floor masters is a classic!
Geralt will definitely be in the viewing area when the time comes, and there are no private VIP rooms in the Sky Arena!
If you want to experience the passion of competition, then come to the ring to watch the most exciting competitive fighting competition!
This is the slogan of the arena.

The result of this is that the higher the front row position, the higher the ticket price, and the more it represents the viewer's strength and love for competitive fighting.

It can be said that this is completely an alternative marketing method for the arena.

Joey arranged the meeting place with Geralt in this game.

Because he really couldn't think of any better opportunity.

After collecting intelligence these days, Joey only concluded that the defense around Geralt was too tight when he was traveling.

It was less than half a month before October [-]st, and all Joey had to do during this period was to wait quietly.

Although constantly watching the battle gave him the idea of ​​​​entering the ring to compete, he would not rashly expose himself until the conflict with Geralt was resolved.

Joey's idea was good, but three days later, a sudden feeling shattered his idea.

That was the connection between the golden experience and him.

The only gold experience item he put outside was the coin taken away by Ed.

In other words, Ed will most likely appear in the arena.

As for Ed, will he discover the secret of the coin?It's possible, but unlikely.

Because the first point is that Ed cannot be sure whether he is still in Shi Ping's mine. After all, it is private property, and it is difficult for anyone to sneak into it.

Joey's departure was also under cover, not a high-profile departure.

Not only the use of Zetsu, but also the screened team of tourists in the mine were enough to prevent Joey's whereabouts from being leaked.

And if we can't determine his exact whereabouts, how can we be sure that he will appear in the sky arena.

Of course, there may be accidents in everything, but at least Joey doesn't believe too much that accidents will always take care of him.

So he planned to explore Ed from a distance, maybe this would give him a chance to contact Geralt in advance.

With this idea, Joey quickly packed up his things and left the room.

Sunglasses, a mask, and no hat, because they really didn’t match the suit he was wearing.

This kind of dress is not unusual in the Sky Arena. After all, there are people here who completely hide their identities in cloaks. Joey's dress can even be said to be quite satisfactory.

Following his induction of the golden experience, Joey soon arrived at the elevator leading to the upper floor.

There are two types of elevators leading to the upper floors of the Sky Arena. One is a player-specific elevator with service personnel always present, and the other is a sightseeing elevator used by tourists.

Joey is not a registered player, so the only thing he can ride is the sightseeing elevator.

There were not many people at the sightseeing elevator, so Joey, who was at the end of the queue, waited quietly.

Soon after, Ed, the trio of fitness trainer and fitness girl appeared in his sight.

At this time, the debt collector in Ed has disappeared. He has put on formal clothes. He has a coin in his hand that is constantly turning on his fingertips. The coin is turning very fast. With Ed's frown, it is easy to Let people see his anxiety and nervousness.

Joey was shocked when he saw the coin, because it was the coin he gave to Ed.

Just looking at Ed's appearance, it was obvious that he regarded the coin as an item to relieve anxiety, and judging from his method, he should have been spinning coins for a short period of time. Although it was not a lot of work, it was very stable.

I just don’t know what kind of mental journey he went through before he developed this habit of turning coins.

There were not many people taking the contestant elevator. When Joey boarded the sightseeing elevator, the contestant elevator had already started going down from the 200th floor.

There are three floors it stayed on during its ascent, the 100th floor, the 113th floor and the 200th floor.

After Joey got on the elevator, he pressed the button for the [-]th floor, and then quietly waited for the elevator to arrive.

Among the settings of the Sky Arena, the [-]th and [-]th floors are quite special.

There are a large number of office areas on the [-]th floor. According to the information Joey collected, most of the people in charge of the Sky Arena will have office areas on the [-]th floor. Only a small number of big bosses who really control a large number of shares in the arena will have office areas on the [-]th floor. There are offices on the [-]th floor.

Ed and others stayed on the [-]th floor, which had already conveyed information to Joey, that is, the identity of the big businessman Geralt in the arena was not the real core boss.

This is consistent with the information he purchased.

Slowly walking to the front desk, Joey judged the location of the gold experience coin according to the map, and then purchased a ticket for the venue closest to there.As he walked there, Joey no longer restricted his energy, and his circle with a radius of less than two meters quickly released, and at the same time, a small weather mind beast appeared on his shoulder.

Then Joey's figure fluctuated at the moment when no one was paying attention to him.

[Mirage] A natural phenomenon formed by the refraction of light.

The reason is a temperature gradient formed after the sun raises the ground temperature. Due to the different density of the atmosphere, light will be refracted at the boundary of the temperature gradient.

When light passes through the cooler, denser atmosphere below, it refracts downward.

The result is that there is a deviation between the position of the scene seen by the naked eye and the actual position of the scene.

Joey used the air mind beast to build a gradient of atmospheric density in his circle, and at the same time used water vapor to lower the temperature near himself, so that the light would be refracted after entering the circle.

So Joey was moving forward, but his figure that was seen by others stayed outside the competition venue.

As long as Joey doesn't do anything unusual, his presence won't attract too much attention from others.

Of course, his figure cannot come into contact with others, because it is illusory after all.

Even if you look closely, you can see the illusion of the figure, as well as the slight fluctuations that appear as the wind blows.

However, the place where Joey found the shadow was very clever. It was a shadow of a light, and it was also a corner where a large number of people would not pass by, so the probability of being discovered in the short term was not high.

And he himself continued to explore forward.

But he can only explore forward, because once he walks around the corner, the shadow he projects will quickly change position. Even on the route between him and the shadow, try to avoid the presence of people or objects. Good, otherwise the risk of ghost exposure will skyrocket.

Fortunately, the office area was not too far from the venue. After Joey got close to a certain range, he stopped. Then he took out a small bug from his arms. The golden experience ability was activated, and the bug quickly changed into a A ladybug flew towards the office area.

After a while, it disappeared into the room where Joey perceived the golden experience coin to be.

Joey hesitated for a moment, then took out a new mobile phone from his arms, and turned it into a gecko. While the nearby bodyguards were not paying attention, the gecko climbed up the wall and slowly moved towards the inside of the area.

Joey himself slowly retreated after the gecko disappeared on the roof of the corner shed.

The moment his figure and the shadow overlapped, Joey canceled the [Weather Forecast] and stepped into the competition venue.

At this time, Ed's voice also sounded in his ears.

"...The mission has failed!" A magnetic middle-aged man's voice came from the bug: "But as long as he is fine, judging from the information you sent back, I underestimated him and thought he was just from the Dark Continent. He’s a little guy, it seems I underestimated him.”

Dark continent?Joey's eyes narrowed slightly, which really allowed him to hear some useful information.

Joey was 90.00% sure that the person who spoke was Geralt.

And what he said was obviously related to him!

Does Geralt think he comes from the Dark Continent?Why?Joey remembered that he reported his identity as a citizen of East Kota.

But hearing that Geralt is so sure, does he know the inside story?
Ed's voice sounded again in Joey's thinking: "There is no divine word on his mind beast. I have observed it carefully."

"Doesn't it exist?" The middle-aged Geralt's voice sounded a bit thoughtful.

Joey, on the other hand, was lost in thought.

God word.

He had heard about this thing from Kate. It was a technology passed down from ancient times that specifically targets telekinesis abilities.

The writing and use of divine characters need to be combined with chanting, and the effects they can achieve are as diverse as the ability to chant.

The simplest and most widely used method is to inscribe divine characters on various items to strengthen the thoughts on various items.

The materialization system can be said to be the most suitable system for using divine characters.

This is reflected in Kate's ability [Crazy Clown]. Whether it is a sickle, a big gun or a magic wand, there are divine words engraved on it.

And the divine characters engraved on different weapons are also different.

According to Kate, he learned these divine words from Jin. Jin can be regarded as a master of divine words. The number and combinations of divine words he mastered are among the top five among those who know the divine words today.

Although Joey also got some information about the divine words from Kate, he did not start learning because there were no items in his hand that required the use of the divine words, and he could not use the divine words in his abilities for the time being.

What's more, if you really want to learn how to use the divine words, you can't do it in a short time.

If you just follow the same pattern, although the carved divine characters can have a certain effect, it is not necessarily true that the direction of this effect is negative.

Geralt suspects that Joey's double has divine characters on his body. What is the basis for this judgment?

"Forget it, it's not important. Since it's hard to catch him alive, let's let Atikam go with you, regardless of life or death, and bring back his complete body and all his belongings." Geralt After pondering, a decision was made.

"As ordered."

Ed's voice and a deep voice sounded in the room at the same time.

But in this command of obedience, there was also a surprised female voice: "What is it."

"Gecko? Mobile phone?" Geralt's voice was confused.

"Assassin!" The man with a deep voice made a quick judgment.

"Joey Joestar, he actually followed here!" Ed was the first to react.

But the phone is already ringing.

After a slight pause for a few seconds, a woman's voice came from the receiver: "Hello?"

"It seems like it's not the target." Joey sighed slightly. From the voice, he could tell that this woman should be the fitness girl who was following Ed before.

It's a pity that he thought it would be Geralt or Geralt's secretary who answered the phone!
While Joey sighed, Killer Queen beside him pressed her thumb.

At this time, a blind sound came from his earphones. Apparently, at the same time as he made the attack, the other party also found the Ladybug bug hidden in the room.

Joey watched the fight in the ring and licked his lips.

Originally, he thought he could communicate with Geralt, but now it seems that his idea was a bit too naive. The other person must die!
Joey, who followed the crowd out of the venue, saw a lot of people in black near the office area. It was obviously an unexpected incident that quickly raised Geralt's security level to a very high level.

But Joey didn't care, he just left the 100th floor in front of the approaching men in black.

With the support of makeup and cross-dressing skills taught by Shi Ping, it is not that simple to recognize Joey through photos.

As he walked towards the lower level, Joey was also thinking.

If Geralt wanted his life, then he would just take Geralt's life away.

As for the secret about [Ming] that Geralt has mastered, if you can get it, go for it. Joey doesn't care if you can't.

Joey also didn't care about the consequences of Geralt's death. Anyway, he, Joey, was alone in this world.

Although Kate and the others had a lot of interactions with him, Joey was sure that the other party would not cause trouble for Kate and the others.

On the one hand, Kate is not a nobody, and on the other hand, the relationship shown between Joey and everyone is not to the extent that he will compromise by using these people who interact with him to threaten him.

After all, according to official records, he was just a temporary worker in the crusade team, someone who was to be killed by the higher-ups and forced into the team.

If he didn't die in East Kota, it can only be regarded as Joey's fate.

As for what happened during the mission of the expedition team, it will not be completely and truly recorded in the written report.

At least the part about Joey will be hidden.

There is no doubt about this. His identity and the previous attitude of V5's senior management towards him determine that Norbu and others will not tell the truth honestly, because that will only draw the V5's attention to Joey, thus giving him Joey brings trouble.

In this way, outsiders' understanding of Joey is biased.

In addition, Joey did not take action when treating Andre, which did not reveal his ability to heal, which made him look inconspicuous.

Back in his room safely, Joey looked at the date on the calendar and pondered.

It seems that the original contact day can be changed to an assassination day.

During this period, what he had to do changed from investigating Geralt to investigating the bodyguards around Geralt.

In the conference room before, when he heard that Geralt wanted to kill him, Joey's idea was to hide, so that the golden experience combined with Killer Queen's assassination effect could be maximized.

But there is obviously someone around the other party who is good at using circles or special abilities to sense nearby people, and this person should have kept the circles or abilities turned on, otherwise he would not have been discovered the moment the gecko approached the office.

Ladybugs are not noticeable when they appear in the arena, but geckos are somewhat conspicuous.

So after being discovered, Joey let the gecko rush into the room and deactivated the golden experience and turned it into a mobile phone again.

Then he made a call to the mobile phone, in order to let people touch the mobile phone, thereby achieving the triggering conditions of the first bomb.

That's right, Joey who freed the gecko didn't have completely good intentions.

But if the other party didn't want to kill him, then he would make the gecko become half phone and half living thing. He really didn't believe that someone would pick up the phone in such a weird state to talk to him.

If someone really did this, don't blame Joey if they were annihilated.

Now it seems that his choice was not bad. Although he could not kill Geralt at once, he should have killed one of Geralt's men.

That person should be good at the materialization system. The pair of sneakers with thoughts that Ed wore on his feet should have been materialized by her.

By comparing the information, Joey knew that the person should be one of Geralt's bodyguards.

Now excluding Geralt himself, there should be 15 people that Joey still needs to deal with, including Ed, two personal bodyguards, and 12 members of the bodyguard group.

"The enemy is in the light, I am in the dark, a good start!" Joey had an extra coin in his hand, and when he tossed it, it turned into a beautiful parrot. The parrot spread its wings and circled around Joey before falling back to him. shoulders.

　I just realized that I forgot to set the timer... I almost forgot to update... I was shocked.
