It's not surprising for explosions to occur in a place like Vice City, but it's been too frequent these days.
When Lu Ning got up in the morning, she could still smell the burnt smell in the air. The places where these explosions occurred were not in chemical industry areas, but not far from the villa area. The blaze also ignited surrounding woodland and it took throughout the night to extinguish the blaze.
The morning news has already shown the news that "the Victims Club declared the explosion an act of revenge" and reminded the general public that the members of this club are a group of lunatics who are willing to harm innocent people for revenge. Please do not look for traces of each other without authorization.
After Lu Ning listened for a while, she went out to school. At the same time, she also told the guard about the delivery that was coming to her door today. Today's class went smoothly, but Cheng Yurun called her to the office during lunch break.
"Do you know what happened last night?"
"The news is playing..."
"The Sacrifice Club seems to exist like a terrorist organization here." Cheng Yurun took two stapled documents from the printer at hand and handed them to Lu Ning.
"This is……"
"Some clues I found in the past two days."
The purpose of the Victims Club is "revenge", which is originally within the scope allowed by the city. However, most of the members of this club target the city itself.
Judging from the past few crimes, they are more inclined to destroy the city than the "retaliation target". These people never use personal-focused methods, but take revenge in such a drastic way as to destroy an entire building just to kill one person. . Many people were thus involved - all equally guilty and equally worthy of death, the club members claimed.
All registration information on the Internet is false. The Sacrifice Club never openly recruits members, and there is no way to know its recruitment methods and background checks. Even the number of members is unclear. Although Vice City is not afraid of such a group, it makes people feel a little disgusting. Therefore, many people will secretly search for members of the Victim Club to be proud of killing them.
This is the general picture of the first information.
Lu Ning turned to the second copy, and this was Cheng Yurun's record of the "crows" in the scene these days.
As a tourist who has done quite well in the second level, Cheng Yurun knows many celebrities from various distribution centers, even if some of them are not well connected. In this scene, there are two well-known independent teams. The members of these two teams have all been promoted from the first level together. They have experienced life and death many times. The trust and coordination within the team are far beyond that of wild teams. .
"Crystal Pipe - This team has three core characters and eight lower-level members. The one who came to the scene this time is the 'eldest lady' Zhao Xihua, led by Chang Zibin, who is good at intelligence work and disguise in the team , as well as craftsman and pharmacist Yang Qingyu. I think I have sent you Yang Qingyu’s identity before, but this time three of them actually entered, and they are quite brave."
Cheng Yurun also obtained the recent photos and identities of the three people. Yang Qingyu is a woman with a slightly charming appearance, but overall she is mature and steady; Chang Zibin has an ordinary appearance, and the photo is also a rigid ID photo; and finally, Zhao Xihua, A daily photo shows a young woman sitting on the window sill holding a wine glass and turning her head to look at the high-rise buildings outside the window. She is a beauty that makes people feel good at first sight.
"The other team has more people here. The well-known martial arts explorers Jiang Shanhao and Jiang Shanluo, as well as three team members, Tan Xiao, Liu Dongyun and Wei Wenyang, who have learned several skills in addition to martial arts. The people in this team Although they are not bad people, they all like to scheme and it will be difficult to get along with them.”
Lu Ning recognized several of these people. Not to mention Jiang Shanluo and Tan Xiao, Jiang Shanhao was also the man who went to the casino to rescue Yang Qingyu that night.
Lu Ning made a mental calculation. The eight people here, plus three of himself, as well as Kobayakawa Yuichi, Shang Chi and Luke who he met before, as well as the other two people given to him by Si Fanle, were confirmed by this part alone. There are sixteen tourists in total. According to the usual number of people in the scene, which is about thirty, half of the tourists have already shown their traces.
"What is everyone doing now?" she asked.
Cheng Yurun thought for a while and replied: "Some of them are climbing up the levels of that forum, probably thinking that those forum levels will be useful sooner or later, while the other part is continuing to investigate the victim club and the clues about the serial killer. But so far, there are still No one has checked the issue of the Heavenly Kingdom Council, I am basically sure of this, because the 'abnormality' here has not been touched yet."
"Where's the black badger?"
"That's a trap. If any tourist really gets involved in the mission of chasing down the black badger, it will definitely affect the supernatural forces behind the whole scene. Now everyone is accumulating strength, and there won't be any problems for a while." Cheng Yurun said Taking out a pen and paper, "Let me tell you about a few key points in time after this."
He wrote down the dates April 8th, April 10th, April 14th, and April 15th on the paper.
"April 8th is the second weekend. Information exchange among tourists will also take place at this time. If you know anyone, don't miss this time, because this is also the half of the first part of the mission. You At least half of the murderous intentions encountered should have appeared. Then, April 10th, the monthly exam."
"Monthly exam? Is this also an important thing?"
"This is a constraint event - when people are bound to go to a certain location and it has been determined in advance, it is most useful to make a fuss about it. It is true that there may not be a problem here, but it is the probability of a problem. When you are older. I don’t know what will happen then. I hope you will be fully prepared by then." Cheng Yurun said seriously, "On the 14th, Cen Mujian’s concert will be held before the Sabbath. As a It is a celebration type event that must be experienced during the mission. It is only natural for something to happen at such a time. As for the importance of the 15th Sabbath, I don’t think I need to say more, right?”
Lu Ning nodded.
"I'm glad you're not reckless, and you don't have to act rashly next. I don't know about other people. Zhao Xihua can't sit still. It's a pity that I can't talk to her." Cheng Yurun said with some regret.
"Can't we talk?"
"In a sense, we feel awkward looking at each other."
=========================
"The person behind the website is undoubtedly a 'superpower' and may even be a member of the so-called Heavenly Council."
This is the top floor of the Queen's Golden Crown, the Royal Viewing Restaurant. A table of extremely luxurious dishes is placed next to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, but these dishes serve as a decoration far more than they are actually used for eating.
Sitting on both sides of the table were two people who didn't look like they would be suitable to sit together.
The young woman in a red evening dress is holding a wine glass with a charming smile on her face. Her beautiful appearance is easy to make people fall in love with her, and her elegant demeanor makes this beauty even more outstanding.
On the other side is a middle-aged man wearing a traditional suit. He is so fat that the suit is bulging. He has bald spots on the top of his head and his facial features are crowded together. However, his serious look can save this man's image. .
The words just now were spoken by this middle-aged man.
"Through this identity, I have probably guessed the location controlled by the members of the Heavenly Kingdom Council who control this city. First of all, I don't want anyone to start investigating this matter now. These members are probably senior Criminal, born sociopath lunatic.”
"Essence of Evil - Rothers, don't really treat me like a little girl who doesn't understand anything."
The woman in red laughed and put the wine glass on the table.
"I know what kind of person you are, but I'm happy to take advantage of the situation, because you and I both know where the insurmountable limit is. Zhao Xihua, it would be great if you are willing to take over. You must know that I am not the one who is good at walking. Humanoid." Rothers twitched the corners of his fat mouth and forced a smile.
Among the distribution centers, people like Rothers can be considered a strange person.
With that kind of body type, he has successfully promoted to the second level, and has a wide network of contacts. He can often do well in the scene. He can earn points after spending them all, and live a cool life without falling into a dead end. I am afraid that this kind of person is the only one. . For many second-tier tourists who are still struggling to pass the pass mark, Rothers is a miracle. But only those teams who really know this person understand that Rothers is really good at information turnover and analysis. Although doing transactions with him will be pushed to the front by him, they can get real intelligence. .
Zhao Xihua is not afraid of trouble, Ross is also a smart person, and the "chat" between the two went very happily.
"Then, tell me the specific situation of the evil of origin."
"Of course I won't refuse the beauty's request. But first, I want to talk about the situation in this city." Rothers picked up the knife and pointed out the window.
"The entire urban area of this city is a nearly rectangular structure, and the glass window we are facing now is in the south." Rothers turned the knife in his hand, and then pointed at a square building in the distance, " That building is the War History Museum, and the adjacent Prison Museum exists as a landmark building in the early days of the establishment of Vice City, but the managers there are also unknown."
"Same unknown?"
"Yes, there are several large buildings in this city whose owners have never really shown up, such as the casino below us. Then further south, there is the newly built orphanage and welfare home area in District 3, where The security work is currently at the highest level in the city, but the person behind the scenes is also unknown."
Zhao Xihua nodded slightly. Seeing this, Rothers turned the blade slightly in her direction.
"On your side, that is, on the west side of the city, is the red light district of District 7 and the streets with related industries. Zuimeng Hongzhuang, which is as famous as the Queen's Golden Crown, is there. Likewise, it is also a building that I don't know who controls it."
The fourth district to the south of the seventh district is the area in the old city. Although it is close to its own sect, the owner of an underground colosseum near Red Crow Street is also unknown.
District Two, south of District Four, is home to the only university in the city. However, the president of this university is only an acting president, and it is not clear who the real president is.
"In addition to the entertainment and cultural industries on our two sides, Districts 1, 6, 9 and 10 on the city's central axis are the core areas and operation centers of the city. From south to north, District 1 has a large number of Scientific research institutions and the only army in Sin City are stationed there. The identity of the army commander is unknown. District 6 is located in the center of the entire city. The buildings of the city hall and various political agencies are in that area, but there is no way to Find out who the leader is. District 9 is a security residential area. The most vicious criminals who want to enter the city must live there for more than a year before they can freely choose where to live in the city. They don’t know the management there. Who is it? Although there are constant small things, there has never been a big incident. Finally, there is the black market in the tenth district, which is full of illegal transactions such as organ smuggling, drugs, and arms. It is also the darkest place in the entire sin city. The black market operators are also ——”
"Unclear." Zhao Xihua raised the corner of his mouth.
Rothers' mouth went dry as he spoke, he raised his glass and drank the wine in one gulp.
"What a waste of good wine."
"If it can quench my thirst, it's not a waste." Rothers picked up the red wine bottle in the ice bucket and poured himself half a glass again. He raised the glass and said to Zhao Xihua, "So Miss Zhao already understands?"
"I'm sorry to trouble you to check so many places these days." Zhao Xihua also raised a toast, "One more question, are you going to go through the process and leave this time, or are you going to give it a try?"
"Why not give it a try?" Rothers smiled slyly, "It would be fine if all the tourists in this test site are mediocre. There are two of you teams, plus Cheng Yurun's two people, Zhang Yufeng's slick guy, and Bai Mu You action guys, I'm afraid I won't be able to encounter such a luxurious lineup even if I go to five test sites. I feel guilty if I don't dig out the details of this city."
"It sounds like Mr. Rothers is very confident in convincing them."
"What I'm best at is offering prices that others can't refuse." Rothers laughed. "There are always some weaknesses in people's hearts. If you attack these weaknesses, you will encounter extremely strong resistance. But if you go first It’s hard to refuse if you help them make up for it.”
"Oh? Then you don't know what my weakness is?"
"Trade secrets, Miss Zhao." Rossus shook his finger, "If I ask you for anything in the future, you will know."
"Old fox." Zhao Xihua took a sip of red wine, "But I don't hate chatting with people like you."
"If I can't win Miss Zhao's favor, I'm afraid my two hundred kilograms will have been buried in a mass grave somewhere? I'm really frightened."
Rothers raised his glass.
"For your wisdom."
"Hmph...for victory."
Zhao Xihua also raised his wine glass.
