In the evening, Lu Ning was sitting on the balcony on the second floor of a coffee shop, with a strawberry cake and a cup of milky coffee in front of her. The coffee here doesn't taste as good as the distribution center, but the cake suits her taste quite well.
There is a parking lot opposite. Now after get off work, many people are already here in a hurry to drive home. Not long after, a white car left the parking lot, and Lu Ning just put the last piece of cake into her mouth. She raised her hand to call the waiter over. After paying, she didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, she turned on her phone and took a look at the tracker's signal.
The requirement is that the injury is serious enough to be sent to the hospital, but not fatal, and the degree must be controlled.
This somewhat subtle request was probably due to some complicated matters behind it. Lu Ning was not particularly interested in it, but he just did a little investigation when the opportunity arose.
The car parked in the villa area in the southwest of the city. Lu Ning then went over and found that the security here was quite tight. She was probably worried that someone was plotting to enrich the residents here. Even excluding the patrolling guards, there were eight security guards at the door alone.
But this is not a big problem. Lu Ning had already searched for relevant information about this villa area on the way here. She walked to the door, looked around, and directly asked the security guard: "Excuse me, are there three unsold buildings here?" villa?"
"Huh? I heard... you have to find a sales company or real estate agent. We don't sell directly here..." Before the security guard could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lu Ning.
"Of course I know. I saw what the advertisement said about natural oxygen bars, transportation hubs and the like. I came to do some on-site inspection before going - what? Isn't it allowed here?"
"Uh..." This involves the blind spot of the security guys. Generally speaking, the real estate company will bring the house to view, but it seems reasonable for someone like Lu Ning to come over in advance after seeing the advertisement.
"It seems your rules are quite strict."
When Lu Ning saw this, she immediately followed him up the stairs.
"Well, let's do this. There are quite a few of you here anyway. One of you can go in and look at the house with me. That'll be alright, right?"
The security guards thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Lu Ning walked around the community along the various roads in the community, and naturally stopped at the three unsold buildings. She probably pretended to be a little dissatisfied, and then returned with the security guard. door. Of course, the target’s home was not missed on this route.
"Thanks a lot."
After thanking her, Lu Ning took a taxi and quickly left the villa area.
Today's inspection has been completed, and she can take action at any time. The only thing that can still make her hesitate is the uncertain casualty situation.
This is an issue that still worries Lu Ning about her actions. Although it is not enough to cause an obstacle at the moment, she is not sure whether she will cross that line in the future.
Just like that, she returned home, took a shower, and came to the computer.
Avoiding Death – This is another mission that’s a bit special.
Her own secret does not include the pursuit of other tourists, so it can be inferred that the risk of death does not necessarily come from other tourists. It is very intriguing that there is a number of times marked at the end. Ten deaths, is it enough to avoid ten death crises, or is it necessary to completely eliminate the root cause of death?
Lu Ning almost walked around the streets in a dignified manner today, but she still didn't receive any attacks, which already made her have some suspicions.
Just then, the phone in the room rang.
"Lu Ning! Where did you go today?"
A somewhat impatient female voice came from the phone.
"We went out for a day and I didn't give you my cell phone number?"
"I asked the class monitor to check the address book! Just leave your home phone number! Forget it, just get through. The class leader said that a specially hired team of teachers will take over our elite class when the school starts the day after tomorrow, and they have to pay a class fee to buy some gifts for the teachers. .”
"Okay, how much?"
"Okay? One hundred per person! Why does it cost so much to buy something for the teacher? This month's monthly exam is coming soon, and I've already spent all my pocket money buying review materials!"
"For a valid reason, ask your parents for it."
"My father has long been dissatisfied with the class charging class fees and giving gifts to teachers. Besides, this is a temporary addition. My mother doesn't care about money. The little money she has is either lost in gambling or buying cosmetics. Why do I need it!"
Although the other party sounded complaining, Lu Ning had vaguely understood the meaning of her words.
"Then let me put it on for you first."
"Wow! I knew you were my best friend! Thanks, I'll pay you back with my pocket money next month."
"Well, I still have something to do. I'll hang up first."
"Bye~"
Lu Ning hung up the phone, was silent for a moment, took out her phone and opened her address book.
The address book is very concise. There are only five local contacts held by this identity, including the principal, class teacher, apartment rental company, bank card contact number, and mother. She got to know the newly added Jiangshanlu by herself.
And everyone is called by occupation or function, and there is no name. After Lu Ning noticed this, he immediately changed Jiang Shanluo's name to aerobics coach.
She has not forgotten that this time there is not only an external crisis, but also some issues about the identity itself that need to be investigated.
But before that...
"Let's solve the immediate problem first."
HELLSPEED's web forum opened again. Lu Ning switched to her mission interface, looked at the sky outside, and pressed the button on her phone to send a signal.
In the distance, in the restaurant of the shopping mall, the hustle and bustle during the day made today's visitors a little deserted. Seeing that the chefs were a little distracted, the boss simply let the morning shift go and put up a sign saying they were closed today. So no one noticed that a black particle on the gas pipeline located in the corner of the restaurant kitchen automatically shattered into powder, revealing the small hole that had been blocked before.
It was a clear night sky filled with twinkling stars.
Lu Ning looked out the window and sent a second command. This time, a particle blocking the wall of the water pipe automatically shattered. The water inside slowly flowed down the wall under the action of water pressure, and the water directly below The location is the socket where the kitchen appliances are connected.
The explosion occurred after a delay of about fifteen minutes. The intense fire even penetrated the glass curtain wall of the building, spitting flames in the air near the third floor. The glass above and below shattered together. Lu Ning felt a trace of it here. A slight vibration. Soon, billowing smoke rose into the sky, blurring the bright starlight.
Soon, Lu Ning saw that the interface for receiving the task showed "Task Completed", and at the same time, there was a payment notification in the account.
"I see...it's really troublesome..."
Lu Ning grumbled dissatisfied and closed the curtains. There were already piercing sounds of fire alarms and ambulance sirens outside. Although the extent of the explosion looked shocking, in fact it would not kill anyone unless it exploded. The entire restaurant Just ruined.
She spent the rest of the night studying the weapon called the "Sword Chariot".
This weapon that fits the arm can be described as a top-notch weapon in terms of sophistication. By pulling the transparent thin wire from the wrist with your fingers, you can command the twenty-four narrow blades inside to pop out and retract. Different gestures correspond to different blade set. For example, clenching a fist can cause the six blades located on the back of the hand to pop out, which can not only be used as a punch, but can also be used as a guard to parry.
In the same way, the sword blades on both sides of the wrist and below the wrist can also be ejected at any time, and the ejection force is enough to directly penetrate the human skin and damage the organs at zero distance.
Because of this, this weapon is not particularly easy to use, because even with the outer frame of the sword cart, the blade may still hurt your hand. Therefore, in addition to a locking safety device, the instruction manual also I would like to emphasize that this weapon is not suitable for people who like to apply poison.
Lu Ning found band-aids from the drawer and stuck them on several wounds that were accidentally scratched during the experiment. She made up her mind to find a store to buy a pair of leather nailing gloves tomorrow.
======================
"Dear viewers, this is City News Express. I am reporter Chang Zibin. At about 20:40 this evening, an explosion occurred in Yunguang Shopping Center in this city. A restaurant located on the south side of the third floor There was a gas explosion. Now that we have arrived at the scene, we can see that the firefighters have controlled the fire and the scene has been brought under control. Now let's interview the people at the scene."
A man dressed as a reporter came downstairs with a camera team and started recording urgently. After the man finished his opening remarks, he immediately found a medical staff next to him.
"Hello, I am a reporter from City News Express. What is the situation of this explosion? Is anyone dead? Has the cause of the explosion been found out?"
"The cause of the explosion is still unknown. The fire brigade has extinguished the fire. It should be a gas leak. Fortunately, no one was dining in the restaurant where the explosion occurred due to some problems, and the staff were off work. No deaths were caused, but there were Many people were cut by the glass, or their eardrums were shocked." The medical staff were obviously prepared, and they immediately agreed with a set of words.
"Then do you think this was an accident or someone deliberately retaliating?"
"I don't know. We are just here to treat the injured. Finding the cause has nothing to do with us."
"Okay, thank you. We will continue to follow up the report, please continue to pay attention to our column."
After Chang Zibin finished speaking, the cameraman understood and ended the filming, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who on earth could do such a thing so late at night..."
"Haha, Brother Chang, isn't that what a reporter's job is?"
"You boys, how can you rest while I'm out working? Come on, go in, I'll go to the toilet first. It's so cold in spring that I'll pee at night..." Chang Zibin laughed and scolded a few people, waving. He led the person into the shopping mall, and then walked into the toilet alone.
He sat on the toilet and immediately took out his mobile phone to make a call. Soon, a sweet voice came from the other side:
"Hello~Chang Zibin?"
"Miss, I have already arrived at the scene. As a reporter, I will probably be able to walk into the fire scene soon."
"Well, you are indeed a trustworthy and good partner."
The other party's voice made Chang Zibin excited.
"Miss, can we talk normally?"
"That won't work. I'm here in Rothers now, and this old guy is just doing this... He is a collector and has a wide network of contacts. I have to take advantage of his power." The woman opposite He chuckled and said, "By the way, I just saw that the task of burning down the restaurant in the forum has disappeared. I'm afraid it was completed by someone on purpose. He was probably a tourist, right? Look carefully to see if there are any clues you missed... Hmm , that old guy has finished taking a shower, I still have to deal with him, so I’ll hang up first.”
"Um... Miss, please take it easy, don't get yourself killed..."
"You still can't believe me? Don't worry, he will be quite useful for a while."
Then the phone became busy.
The corner of Chang Zibin's mouth twitched. Of course he understood the nature of the woman on the other side of the phone. She was a blood-sucking vine, a demon who would never let go until she drained the value of others. The most terrifying thing is that she can completely cater to the target's preferences and dress up in different ways to attract the target. Who knows why a noble lady from a big family is good at these things.
But Chang Zibin has been rescued many times by the opponent since the first level, and the small group he formed afterwards did make him feel a strong warmth - unlike many teams formed because of weakness, everyone in this team is Reliable and powerful companions, they even reached the second level by helping each other.
As one of the three souls of this team, Chang Zibin and others usually use the title "Miss" to express their respect for her, but they will never forget her real name.
——"My name is Zhao Xihua. You are a bit interesting. Come hang out with me for now."
=================
As the night deepens, the strange travelers who have just arrived in the city gradually settle down. A loner like Lu Ning is not particularly conspicuous among them. At least no one will disturb her sleep tonight.
However, the Hell Express Forum ushered in a peak of completion of a number of tasks. At least for most tourists, those low-end tasks are not particularly difficult to complete, not to mention the conditions of the background of Vice City, which makes some people feel like a fish in water.
So when Lu Ning got up the next day, the news about the explosion in the shopping mall last night had already been covered up by some more shocking news. The first three are undoubtedly worth noting.
[The systems of three banks were hacked, and the financial security system was questioned by depositors. 】
[The White Butterfly Killer committed another crime, this time the victims were three high school students. 】
[The gang leader was beheaded in the middle of the night, and a wanted order has been issued. 】
Although none of them are displayed in eye-catching ways such as exclamation points, the fact that three messages are at the top of the news page is enough to show how much weight they have.
Hacking into the banking system is probably someone checking information, and bank statements can reflect the past of many people. The gang leader was probably a tourist who completed a mission, because Lu Ning vaguely remembered a very similar mission on HELLSPEED.
The White Butterfly Killer is a serial murderer who is still notorious in Sin City.
Lu Ning made a casual breakfast and began to search for news about this murderer.
