Fast Forward To three thousand and seventy seven

In the face of Xu Jiu's behavior of asking for compensation.

Xinmu group has no intention of bargaining.

As a top consortium with its own territory in Wusu city, this choice is somewhat strange.

The reason is simple.

At present, the relationship between them and the officials of Wusu has fallen to the freezing point, and Xu Jiu is the latter's partner.

At this time, if Karen, another cicada molting apostle, conflicts with a cicada molting Apostle who is stronger than Hobbes because of his arrogance, he will not be happy for himself.

I really want to attract Xu Jiu's revenge.

The officials of Wusu not only won't help, but may encourage Xu Jiu to start harder.

As I said before, the official of Wusu is greatly affected by the consortium, but the problem is that the "Consortium" here is not only Xinmu group, but also other top consortia.

To put it bluntly, they are eager to find a reason to press Xinmu group to death, and then sit next to its body and have a gluttonous feast!

That's why.

Xinmu group can be said to be full of sincerity. Hobbes personally escorted the goods to meet Xu Jiu at a hotel controlled by their group.

Max and Jingshu didn't plan to meet the people of Xinmu group.

The dirty things done by Xinmu group really disgusted them, so they first returned to the secret society.

Take an empty boat to the top floor of the hotel, where a small sky garden is built. The rain proof dome has just been removed. A dozen waiters are going in and out with all kinds of things, while Hobbes is waiting outside a wooden bar in the center with a party.

"What do I want?"

On the rooftop, Xu Jiu subconsciously emerged this classic line in his mind.

Unfortunately, Hobbes didn't cooperate very well.

"It's all ready for your excellency."

"It seems that you are recovering well. I thought you had to treat for some time."

Xu Jiu looked at Hobbes, who was dressed up as a gentleman again. What he remembered in his mind was his embarrassed appearance under the threat of evil.

Hobbes obviously knew what Xu Jiu meant. He arranged his collar awkwardly, then adjusted his posture, waved to all the people inside and outside the bar to withdraw, leaving only the core members of Xinmu group.

They didn't enter the bar. It was not convenient to show things inside. Hobbes didn't mean to procrastinate. He directly asked his men to show the sincerity of Xinmu group in turn.

According to the two requirements put forward by Xu Jiu, Xinmu group has prepared a lot of items accordingly.

Half strange thing or strange weapon Xinmu group didn't own it and chose to replace it with a large number of precious metals. Hobbes originally wanted to use these materials to help Xu Jiu build a weapon, but the latter directly refused.

On the one hand, Xu Jiu doesn't trust Xinmu group. God knows what they will add to their weapons. He doesn't want to be broadcast live by the knife handle or the monitor that may be hidden on the knife body in the future.

On the other hand, for today's Xu Jiu, the improvement of his combat effectiveness with ordinary weapons is actually quite limited. As long as it is not a strange thing, the effect is almost the same. No matter how strong the technology of Xinmu group is, it is impossible to beat out a strange thing for herself. On the contrary, Gloria has the skill of making semi strange things.

How to choose is clear at a glance.

Then there are some rare treasures.

I have to admit that top consortia such as Xinmu group do have a lot of inventory. Hobbes has now come up with two kinds of rare treasures that Xu Jiu worked hard to get in the special zone.

In addition, there are also some attached rare treasures with lower ability.

Hobbes thought Xu Jiu would be happy to see these strange treasures. After all, for the apostles, taking strange treasures can improve their ability and physical quality.

Especially this kind of A-level rare treasures, if they meet the right, it is not uncommon to awaken new branches of ability.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jiu just glanced at them and asked them to pack. It looked like he didn't care at all.

It is true.

For Xu Jiu, who has the crystal of sage, the effect of this level of rare treasures on him has become extremely limited.

Now, if Zhenbu wants to be promoted, these things can't help. If you take them back, you can eat them as snacks.

Of course, just because it's useless to Xu Jiu doesn't mean it's useless to Fuling.

As a dissimilated beast, his eyes straightened when he saw these rare treasures appear. He kept tossing in Xu Jiu's arms. As soon as he let go, he rushed to the nearest rare treasure and chewed.

Hobbes had subconsciously wanted to stop, but Xu Jiu stopped him and allowed Fuling, a big orange cat, to "spoil" those treasures.

The people who watched this scene were stunned.

Just want to ask Xu Jiu, is there still a shortage of pets at home?

Soon I felt strange, because normal creatures could not bear the energy contained in the treasure, and the orange cat didn't stop eating... It didn't even hiccup!

Damn it.

After watching these miscellaneous things, the rest is naturally real drama meat.

Strange things!

Hobbes snapped his fingers and immediately someone came forward with a silver gray metal box more than one meter long. He looked more confident,

"This is a strange thing discovered by the group from a sub level specific area three years ago. You will certainly like it."

Enter the password, the box slowly opened, and Xu Jiu, who was standing next to Hobbes, saw the food items inside, and a surprise flashed in her eyes.

This is a special rifle with a shape similar to a flint gun. The butt and part of the body made of brownish red wood show a warm brownish red, and the barrel is made of silver gray metal with strange patterns engraved on it.

"Sequence 137, magic bullet gun. The holder can lock any object within three kilometers with the help of the cross sight on the gun body. As long as the trigger is pulled, the bullet will automatically call the enemy."

Speaking of this, Hobbes paused a little and noticed a touch of disappointment on Xu Jiu's face. Then he went on,

"What's really powerful about it is that its bullets need the independent cohesion of the gunman, that is, infinite energy bullets!"

Is this rifle powerful?

Various restrictions have doomed it to be no different from a fire stick for most people.

People who don't master elemental energy can be a telescope with it. Even if they are close enough to knock people, I'm afraid they don't think it's enough. Even if a considerable number of people can mobilize energy, it doesn't make much sense.

At present, it is not an old era with backward science and technology. With current military technology, there are simply not too many long-range tracking sniper guns, let alone the long-range strike artillery mastered by major forces.

However, meeting such wonderful flowers as Xu Jiu, the ability of this rifle is another scene.

You should know that Xu Jiu himself is a "lone wolf", there is no long-range artillery support, but he has a variety of extraordinary abilities, and really speaking, he is also an out and out "sunset red" gunman.

This rifle can be said to be perfect to make up for his current lack of long-range attack.

If the energy is sufficient, it will be infinite bullets, and the power of bullets

Xu Jiu grabbed the rifle, opened the bolt according to Hobbes's operation requirements, and the cyan lines immediately lit up outside the gun chamber.

Bang~

The gunfire rang.

A tree more than ten meters away burst into a green and red fireball, and it became a mass of ashes in the blink of an eye.

When the night wind blew, Hobbes standing next to him shivered and coughed twice. Then he added,

"This strange thing is delivered to you. We have a requirement that the muzzle of the gun cannot be aimed at the people of Xinmu group."

"Do your killers need it?"

Xu Jiu looked back in surprise and threw the spear at Fuling. The latter waved his head and opened his mouth and swallowed it,

"This gun is good. You have a heart."

"So it's a alienated beast... With space handling ability?"

Seeing the special ability of Fuling, Hobbes's smile suddenly froze, and then asked with some hesitation,

"Can I venture to ask how many things it can hold?"

"Well, it's just the size of a refrigerator for the time being. What's the matter?"

The actual space may be much larger, but there is no need to tell Hobbes. The latter was obviously relieved to hear the answer and asked his subordinates to send another strange thing.

"In fact, the second wonder is very similar to its ability, sequence 102, model capsule."

Hobbes revealed the reason by taking out an oval mechanical capsule the size of ordinary corn and hooped with gear objects at the front and rear ends.

"Oh, you are actually willing to give me space strange things. Say it first. It's just a reward without additional conditions!"

Xu Jiu was also a little surprised at the first time he saw this thing.

Although there are not many strange things found in the ruins, they are basically stored in the warehouses of major forces. Rao, who doesn't pay attention to the transaction of strange things, also knows that space strange things are particularly precious, almost all of them are sky high prices.

It's a treasure used to attract other cicada molting apostles. As a reward, it's unreliable.

"Well, you may have misunderstood. This strange thing is actually a little defective. It can only hold one thing."

Open the mechanical capsule, Hobbes takes out a small metal ball the size of a baby's fist, throws it forward on the ground, and then turns the gear on one side of the capsule.

I saw that the small ball expanded in an instant and finally turned into a yoga ball with a diameter of nearly one meter

They looked at each other. Xu Jiu finally understood why Hobbes had to ask.

Fortunately, the mechanical capsule is not as chicken ribs as expected.

On the one hand, the scale of items it can change is quite large. After testing by Xinmu group, it has reached the scale of a small empty boat.

On the other hand, it can only hold one item, but the judgment mechanism is actually flawed.

Take a simple example. For example, the idea of using an oversized box to hold items and then converting them into models with capsules has not been realized after testing. However, if these things are installed on the box and then the capsule is enabled, they can be transformed successfully.

The key is to let the model capsule determine that the folded items are a whole.

This means that Xu Jiu can actually go to the inner frontier to plug vehicles, such as motorcycles and empty boats. After testing, it is completely feasible, but he can't plug additional objects in it.

It can be said that the two strange things before and after are specially prepared for independent travelers, which is obviously the result of internal discussion of Xinmu group.

Even if Xu Jiu knew that this was the other party's flattery, he had to praise a "stress" in his heart.

Facts have proved that the forces that can stand in the highest power structure of a super city will never lack smart people.

They know exactly when and what to do.

Not only will you see your position accurately, but as long as you are ready to do one thing, you will definitely do it, which is beyond reproach.

There is no doubt that the remuneration paid by Xinmu group exceeds its due share.

Even if Xu Jiu makes it clear that this is his due reward and will never involve anything else, this behavior undoubtedly shows the attitude of Xinmu group to some extent.

of course.

The premise of doing these things is that they think it's worth it.

let me put it another way.

If Xu Jiu didn't have the strength now, he couldn't leave the jurisdiction that night!

If you can keep the secrets in your jurisdiction forever without spending any resources.

Who is willing to take out these wonders and offer them with both hands?

So far, the handover of the remuneration has been completed. Xu Jiu originally planned to return to the gathering point for a rest. As a result, Hobbes said that he had something important to say. He specially left him and said that he had important information to share with him.

Xu Jiu was stunned and immediately burst out laughing,

"Do you still have information to share with me?"

Xu Jiu doesn't need to know that Xinmu Group intends to achieve the purpose related to him through some information.

But at least he received many good things from others, and he didn't miss these few minutes. He nodded to agree to talk more for a while.

This time Hobbes did not let his subordinates sit in, but motioned Xu Jiu to leave the bar and talk in private.

Earlier, the dome was used to stop the rain. At this time, the top garden is still clean and tidy.

Light yellow floor lamps are distributed on the surrounding lawn, with large fountains rising and falling with melodious music.

"What information needs to be so hidden?"

Walking in the garden with an old man at night, Xu Jiu only felt unwell and asked directly.

"This morning's vision..."

"Wait, if you want to tell me about the crown zone, you don't have to. I just came from the secret society."

Xu Jiu turned sideways to catch Fu Ling running from behind and shrugged.

He talked to Vanessa in the morning and the secret society in the afternoon. He didn't want to talk to anyone again in the evening.

"According to the intelligence collected by the group through various channels, it is not only our wasteland that is abnormal. Xinmu group has business contacts with many super cities. Coupled with the cooperative relationship with the government, our intelligence network is wider than you think."

Thinking of the relationship between Xu Jiu and the secret society, Hobbes simply skipped some known news. Halfway through, Hobbes kept silent for a while before continuing,

"Even if many places deliberately hide the reality in order not to cause folk panic, one thing is certain... The world is about to usher in an unprecedented change... Not in a good direction!"

Xu Jiu stepped down, turned his head and looked at Hobbes with some doubts. In his mind, he thought of the changes in the wasteland recently talked about with Vanessa and the people of the secret society today.

Hobbes looked at Xu Jiu, who was in silence. He thought he didn't believe his words. Instead, he took out the palm computer prepared in advance, opened the internal database of Xinmu group, and said in a deep voice,

"It's not that Xinmu group has to take great risks to deal with evil spirits, but the current situation makes them aware that the crisis is coming!"

Hobbes no longer calls Xinmu group "us", but "them".

Now?

He is Hobbes, the apostle of cicada, and what he wants to talk about seems to be out of the scope that the "thugs" of a consortium should consider.

At this time, the two people walking side by side have been far away from the members arranged by Xinmu group.

The topic suddenly mentioned by Hobbes surprised Xu Jiuyi.

The thought of leaving directly after two perfunctory sentences also faded down, and then signaled Hobbes to continue to elaborate.

"Since you have cooperation with the secret society, you obviously know something about evil."

Regardless of the identity background of the new wood group, Hobbes, who is also a cicada molting apostle, naturally did not use a respectful name for Xu Jiu, but changed his name. At the same time, his words were a little more solemn. He clenched the gem at the top of the wooden staff with the palm of his white glove, and then said,

"I want to know how much you know about evil."

"A group of monsters who escape the seal of the special area and make trouble in the world?"

Xu jiulue thought and gave an answer in line with his identity as a collaborator of the secret society.

"You mean the seal in the crown specific area?"

Hobbes asked.

"Of course."

"Do you think only the crown level special area in Wusu area has this seal?"

He handed Xu Jiu the handheld computer in his other hand. Hobbes looked dignified. When the former took it over, he clicked on a folder on the screen,

"At present, there are 15 crown level special areas found all over the world. Without exception, there is an extremely strange space inside. The impact of special areas on the surrounding environment has long been detected by major super cities. Recently, there has been an intensification of assimilation in each region."

Without answering, Xu Jiu's eyes stayed on the screen and constantly pushed out a large number of pictures.

A considerable part of them come from news reports in major regions, as well as some video clips that look incredible.

After zooming in a few photos and watching two videos, Xu Jiu quickly realized that what was hidden behind these news was probably something related to evil.

"Crown level special area exploration team... Have you ever wondered why the government should suddenly organize this scale of exploration? How many Longmen can there be in the whole Wusu city with a population of hundreds of millions?"

Hobbes obviously knows the inside story of many exploration teams through Xinmu group. After all, there are many participants. It is almost impossible to keep secret of organizations that are part of the government structure.

Xu Jiu raised his eyebrows and kept secret about the exploration of the crown level special area, whether it was the different adjustment Bureau or the secret society. Only the people of the secret society once disclosed some information, but that's all.

It just means that there is something that forces them to take risks.

It is false to say that Xu Jiu is not curious about the reason.

The connection between evil and the crystal of sage, the beads in his body, and his experience in the waking world all prompted Xu Jiu to explore.

But at the same time, Xu Jiu also realized that the hidden things behind it were far more complex than expected.

"Do you know why?"

Put Fu Ling on his shoulder, Xu Jiu put his arms on his chest and asked in a muffled voice.

"Where can I know what happened in the crown level special area, but one thing I know very well is that the occurrence of evil and frequent events are not just because of accidents in the exploration in the crown level special area. The events recorded above are earlier than when the exploration team entered the crown level special area!"

What Hobbes meant was clear.

The emergence of evil spirit does not originate from the crown level specific area. At least it also exists in other places, or it has been sealed.

In fact, Xu Jiu knew this for a long time. The experience in the wake-up world is enough to prove it.

"Sir, I'm not telling you these news today to get information or get some promise from you. I just want to say that there will be more and more attacks on evil around the world. I think this is a sign!"

The footsteps stopped. Hobbes looked at Xu Jiu and said word by word,

"A sign of evil invading reality!"
