The Lightless Sea 21

The ball python cautiously sneaked around the streets and alleys. Every few minutes, he turned on his equipment to scan the surroundings to see if anyone was following him.

The harbor area of ​​Heihai City at night is dark and quiet, with only a few places that are extremely lively, such as bars, underground boxing rings, and casinos. This is a territory controlled by gangs, and even the investigation department must act cautiously. In such a place, bloody incidents often occur.

Poor and backward areas are the most prone to crime, and darkness and chaos are the best protective colors for those who wander here.

The ball python got into a small casino, the guests shouted around the gaming table, colorful cards were flying, and the gamblers rolled out stacks of chips with red eyes.

Ball Python has a lot of gambling addiction, but he came here today not to gamble, but to trade with an informant to get his divine blood.

He quietly walked to the second floor and pushed open the door of room 208.

The room was dimly lit, and a man wearing a hood sat on the luxurious retro-style chair.

“You were three minutes late.” The informant said indifferently.

The ball python didn’t take off its mask, and didn’t respond immediately. Instead, it turned on the equipment to scan the room, for fear that there might be monitoring equipment hidden here.

The informant watched the ball python’s cautious movements coldly, waiting for his explanation.

“That woman Thorn Rose is too annoying, she likes to give orders, I can only listen to her, who made her my boss.” The ball python turned off the scanner, “Hurry up and give me the blood, that woman will go for a beauty treatment Go, I finally got out of her control, and I have to go back to join her in a while.”

“Are you so impatient?” The informant laughed.

“We agreed that I will pass on the information to you, and the reward is to arrange a new identity for me to leave Black Sea City, and a bottle of divine blood.” The ball python said coldly, “I deserve it, and I will bear it.” After taking such a big risk, you deserve a reward of equal value, you don’t want to go back on your word, do you?”

“We have always kept our promises.” The informant took out a reagent tube filled with dark red liquid from his pocket, “This is your reward.”

The ball python’s gaze firmly locked on to the reagent tube. He stepped forward and raised his hand to pick it up, but the informant’s hand holding the reagent tube moved slightly, staggering the movement of the ball python.

His eyes froze, and his voice sank: “What do you mean? We have discussed it, and you will pay the divine blood in advance.”

“Don’t be so nervous, ball python. I told you, we will keep our promise.” The informant smiled and said reassuringly, “There is just one small thing that needs to be done by you.”

“Ha.” The ball python sneered, “How did you discuss it with me last time? Did you forget it after only a few hours? You said that I don’t need to do anything for you, just concentrate on delivering information.”

The informant apologized without sincerity: “I’m sorry, this is an order my boss just gave me, and I have no right to refuse it for you.”

“Then may I ask, do I have the right to refuse?” said the ball python.

“You have.” The informant said, “But if you refuse, I cannot give you divine blood.”

The ball python’s forehead was bulging with blue veins, and he endured his anger and said, “I’m your tool man, right? What do you think of me, an idiot?”

“How could it be? You are an undercover agent with a good mind, how can you be an idiot?” the informant said sincerely.

Ball Python: “…fuck!”

His muscular chest rose and fell violently, and he said with patience, “I feel like I am a wild boar in the woods. The hunter sprinkled bait on the path I must pass, and I followed the bait all the way forward.At the end of the day, what awaits me is not delicious food, but hunting traps. ”

“We are not hunters, we are not trying to hunt you down, we are your collaborators, your traders.” The informant said in a steady voice, “You can take this as a business deal, we are bargaining. You have the right to refuse, but You will lose part of the benefits, you can accept it, and if you accept it, you will bear certain investment risks.”

“My partner and trader tore up the contract. Is it necessary to continue this transaction?” Ball Python said.

“No, it can’t be calculated like this.” The informant said, “We are still in the negotiation stage, and we have not signed a formal contract. Isn’t that a normal thing to propose new additional conditions during the negotiation stage?”

The ball python laughed angrily: “I just fell into your trap. Don’t talk about business as an issue. Who do you see who fails in business investment and needs to take his own life?”

“Don’t refuse in a hurry, Ball Python.” The informant dissuaded, “What you need to complete this time is really a small matter, the risk is very low, and it will be good for you if you succeed, you might as well listen Make a plan.”

“Tell me.” The ball python looked at the observer.

He didn’t refuse, because he had already paid a huge risk. If he quit now, the risk he had taken before would be meaningless.

This made him unwilling, and he didn’t want to just give up. Divine blood was indeed a good bait, luring him forward step by step.

“We have bred a new kind of alien creature.” A thin glass tube appeared in the hands of the informant. At first glance, the glass tube seemed empty, but when he twisted the glass tube, he turned on a tiny flashlight It, the things in the glass tube suddenly appeared.

It was a slightly wriggling red bug. Its body was as thin as a hair, and its presence was low.

“Crystal nematode,” said the informant, “it’s smaller than the red devil spider I gave you before, and it’s harder to detect. People who are parasitized by the red devil spider must die within an hour, but crypto nematodes have a longer growth cycle. After the development of the parasite, it can drill into the brain of the parasite, and slowly control the body of the parasite… even the mind.”

The ball python’s eyebrows twitched slightly: “You are really a bunch of lunatics.”

The red devil spider is a dark red spider-shaped alien creature used by ball pythons to control killers. It is as big as a peanut kernel in its juvenile stage, and it only takes one minute to penetrate into the parasite’s brain and control its host after parasitic on the human body. The red devil spider was also given to him by the informant, and now the informant gave him a new alien creature.

“Are you borrowing my hands to find the experimental items?” The ball python hoarsely said, “First the red devil spider, and then the cryptonematode…you handed over the dangerous juvenile alien species to me not only to let me complete the task , or to obtain feedback data…”

“They are a stable new species.” The informant said to the ball python, “The only thing we are not sure about is whether they can play a role in the awakened person and control the awakened person’s mind.”

The ball python had an ominous premonition, “Could it be that you want me to…”

“The thorny rose next to you, she has been with you for a long time, and she trusts you more. Find an opportunity to let the cryptonematode parasitize her.” The informant said, “It only takes two seconds for the cryptonematode to be placed on human skin.” I can get in, and the feeling when I get in is as small as being bitten by a mosquito.”

He understood the reason, “Don’t you think this woman is too annoying, always controlling you? This is a good opportunity, if you control her with heterogeneous creatures, she won’t be able to control you, and your risk of exposure will be greatly reduced.”

The ball python was persuaded.

Since he became an undercover agent, his main fear has come from the thorny rose beside him. She is too close to him, and he is walking on thin ice, extremely exhausted. He wouldn’t have to be so careful if cryptonematodes were to parasitize her.

“I can try…there is no guarantee of success.” The ball python said, “I will try my best to complete this task, but you have to give me divine blood first.”

The informant seemed to think for a while, “Yes.”

He put the sacred blood reagent and the glass tube containing the cryptonematode in his hand, and the ball python reached out to take it, with excited eyes.

He put the cryptonematode container in his pocket, held up the sacred blood reagent bottle and looked at it for a while.

“Why, are you afraid we’ll poison it?” the informant said.

“How come? You still want me to do things for you.” The ball python said soberly.

The informant nodded in satisfaction: “It’s good that you know.”

He pondered for a moment: “I have a few questions to ask you… What is Red’s extraordinary ability?”

“I don’t know, maybe Rose Briar knows, but she won’t tell.” Ball Python said, “I only know about the bartender, and I’ve already told you.”

“What is the radiation range of Amber and Obsidian’s spiritual superpowers?”

“Where can I inquire about such detailed data? Do you want me to ask them?”

“What about the extraordinary ability of the rich woman?”

“No one has ever said what the extraordinary ability of the rich woman is… The rich woman and Red belong to the high-level people, and we are all their subordinates. Don’t ask about the matters of the immediate superiors, and accidents will happen.”

“When are you going to bomb the port?”

“Before August 8th… Didn’t I say it, why are you asking again?”

The informant said calmly: “It’s nothing, I’m afraid that your task arrangement will change… If there is any change, please notify me in time.”

“Got it.” The ball python gave him a suspicious look.

The time agreed upon with Thorn Rose was about to arrive, and the ball python turned around: “I can only endure this kind of temporary overweight behavior this time. I know that I don’t have the capital to negotiate terms with you. You have resources and the initiative… But my ball Python is a man with a temper.”

informant noteWatch him open the door and leave.

After the ball python left, the room became silent.

The informant turned his head and raised his right hand. The air in one corner of the room fluctuated slightly, and a vague black figure suddenly appeared in the corner.

The ball python scanned the entire room with a scanner, but did not find a third person in the room!

“Did the ball python lie?” the informant asked.

The black shadow shook his head.

The informant laughed and said, “He’s fairly honest… It’s a pity he can’t change his nature as a gambler.”

It is true that Ball Python is a cautious person, but he likes to gamble. This bad habit of gambling has affected his behavior to a certain extent, even the ball python himself didn’t realize that he was gambling and taking risks… Maybe he found out, but like a real gambler, he fantasized about being able to make a big fortune with a small amount.

When he felt something was wrong, he didn’t want to stop the loss in time. He just wanted to gamble one more time to recover the cost and gain benefits.



Yin Mian walked into the living room with heavy steps, took a breath and said, “I definitely have enough bullets!”

He unzipped the bulging jacket, and the bullet box was wrapped around his body with tape several times.

“Can’t you bring a bag?” Wei Xin watched silently as Yin Mian struggled to tear off the tape, and took off the bullet boxes hanging on his body one by one.

“It was only when I got there that I realized that I forgot to bring my bag, and there was no such thing as a backpack in the arsenal…Fortunately, there was medical dressing tape there, so I stuck the bullet to my body.” Silver-face seemed to be very pleased with his wit proud.

Kai Xin was silent for a moment, and reluctantly said, “Good job…be more careful next time.”

She looked at the equipment on the ground, picked up a body armor and went back to the room to change.

The body armor made of this new material is not only light but also strong. It will not affect the movement after wearing it. It not only covers the torso, but also covers the limbs.

The mistakes of the last time cannot be repeated. She may not be so lucky every time to use her iron skull to defend herself against bullets. The body armor must be worn properly so that she can survive when the enemy targets her torso.

Back in the living room, Kai Xin checked the equipment for the last time.

K80 sniper rifles, pistols, magazines, tactical knives, miniature bombs, environmental scanners, communicators, locators, night vision goggles…

“This is?” Kai Xin picked up a button-sized black object.

“The newly developed optical camouflage projector at the headquarters is still in the experimental stage. I brought back two to play with.” Silver pressed the button, and his whole body blended with the environment like a chameleon, but when he moved, the camouflage The effect is not so good.

“Suitable for static camouflage.” Kui Xin commented.

Silver threw down the button and said, “I don’t need this, I can turn my body into transparent water.”

Kai Xin clicked on the bracelet to check the map, “It’s time for us to set off.”

Kui Xin and Thorn Rose have passed the gas, and when she rendezvous with the ball python, she will lead him to the port of call under the pretext of collecting data.

On the only way to the berthing port, Kai Xin squats and waits, ready to kill the ball python.

Thorn Rose has turned on real-time positioning, so that Kai Xin can always check her position to confirm the position of the ball python.

Carrying a gun is too conspicuous. The gun can wait until the sniper site to assemble it. Kai Xin has a box of K80 parts on his back, magazines, knives and pistols on his waist, and sundries on his silver face.

She put on the mask and put on the voice changer, pulled down the hood, went to the balcony and jumped down from the third floor, and went to the preset sniper location together with Yinmian under the cover of night.
