The two of them found a table and chair in the garden that was just big enough for them to sit down. Lu Ning asked Zuo Xiaobi to sit down first, and then she sat opposite him. Zuo Xiaobi had already taken off his raincoat and hat. There was no doubt that this man was a melancholy handsome guy, but it was a pity that he was among them. Lu Ning knew very well what kind of mission it was to be able to talk about murder as a daily routine.
"I killed three meerkats resident here." Zuo Xiaobi took out a cloth bag and placed it on the table, "But I found something very strange. When they died, they were completely different from normal people. Same."
"Different from normal people?"
"I have killed many people, assassinations, open killings, I have tried many methods, painful, sad, angry, and even calm acceptance of death. I am very aware of the different kinds of death." Zuo Xiaobi said softly , "But the three snake meerkats were very weird. When they died, they tried their best to carry out a lot of meaningless resistance."
"Isn't this a normal situation? If I were to be killed, I would fight hard," Lu Ning said.
"I mean, meaningless resistance." Zuo Xiaobi shook his head, "When humans are about to die, they will grab every life-saving straw, even if it has no effect. But people will not leave the table when they are about to die. The chairs are all arranged neatly, and you won’t pay attention to trivial matters when you are about to die. No matter what kind of person you are, you will panic when you die, you will concentrate, you will try to fight back, but you will not... get distracted. "
"There are only two types of people who can lose their mind between life and death." Lu Ning said, "Either this is not a death, just an ordinary thing; or the thing that makes him lose his mind is more important than his life and death, but We didn't notice."
"You're right, so I reviewed the information I had. I thought I didn't have enough information here, and it happened that I met you... Since we can find the same place, our information must have something in common. Zuo Xiaobi said, "Lu Ning, you can decide how to exchange information."
"I'm not interested in playing a question-and-answer game here anymore. I have more information than you now, so you tell me what you know, and I'll tell you what you want to know. Do you accept it?" Lu Ning crossed her arms.
"Okay." Zuo Xiaobi gave a rare smile, "Then let me talk about the meerkats here."
There are three snake meerkats here. Judging from the description, their clothing, weapons, etc. are exactly the same as the snake meerkats that Lu Ning saw before. When Zuo Xiaobi arrived, the place where the three people were hiding turned out to be a public restroom.
The third toilet door in the bathroom was designed as a reciprocating passage, but Zuo Xiaobi still found his position and squatted in the toilet door next door to prepare for an ambush. With Zuo Xiaobi's killing skills, these three people were It didn't last long, and even the last person was killed by Zuo Xiaobi after grabbing the key.
The size of this space was not as good as the one Lu Ning had seen before. It was only the size of a small dormitory, but the evidence found in the mailbox was very useful.
Power of attorney - not a power of attorney received, but a power of attorney sent. Zuo Xiaobi took out a few unremarkable-looking letters from his pocket and asked Lu Ning to read them.
"Snake Meerkat seems to be an intelligence and assassination organization, but from these letters, it can be seen that they have actually done a lot of commissioned intermediary work. Unfortunately, there is no commission to kill Li Zhu, and I have not seen it. I want to attack the secret police. But..."
Lu Ning had already found an assignment for Yin Xiu. The organization assigned was the "Four Chasms Secret Line", but now that Yin Xiu has come out, the organization that carried out the kidnapping is probably gone.
But the further back he turned, the more shocked Lu Ning felt.
From some small organizations whose names I have never heard of to those organizations that were named in the mission, this snake meerkat has been assigned to all of them, and they have all been successful. It not only involves the Xunyou Sisterhood, Five-Colored Bird Club and Destiny Covenant, which are not weak organizations, but there is even a commission issued to the ascetic.
[Restrict the actions of Earthly Ashes until receiving a signal to terminate the commission. 】
"They actually have such strong energy that they can appoint ascetics to do things? Then they..."
"Obviously things are not that simple." Zuo Xiaobi said, "This is what I want to know. I am very curious. The strength of the Snake Meerkat organization is not to mention the ascetic monks. Even organizations like the Five Colored Bird Club are no match for them. , so where do they get the position to entrust?”
"A commission does not require strength as its foundation?"
"Definitely necessary, maybe civilized organizations don't need it, but for an organization whose main business is plundering and killing, it's impossible to assign them to do things without the strength." Zuo Xiaobi said, "I prefer The person who gave the commission to the Snake Meerkat is strong enough."
"Strong enough to be on the same level as an ascetic? Not the earthly dust? Do you think it is...Aurora?"
"Do you know Aurora? If possible, I hope to exchange some information about this organization." Zuo Xiaobi said smoothly.
"I don't know much about it." Lu Ning immediately stopped the topic. She didn't think Qisha would be someone who needed help from outside forces. She had enough talents under her own hands, so why did she need to hire some people who didn't know her background?
Zuo Xiaobi heard this and stopped asking, but continued to ask: "Then, let's proceed as planned. I hope to exchange the relevant information about the meerkat that you know. This will also make it easier for me to understand this organization. the real situation.”
Lu Ning thought for a while and roughly summarized the information obtained from Yin Xiu. Regarding the snake meerkat setting up multiple strongholds, her meeting with the snake meerkat last night, and the relevant information that the snake meerkat hired people to kidnap Yin Xiu and other chairman of the board.
"It doesn't sound like a very powerful organization."
"It's really not very strong."
Zuo Xiaobi touched his chin and asked Lu Ning for those letters. The exchange of information between the two was just that brief. For Zuo Xiaobi, he knew very well that Lu Ning had something he didn't tell him, but he was not a pushy person. He exchanged the information from the downstream for the information from the upstream, which was enough for him to follow this clue. .
Lu Ning watched this alarming man leave without looking back, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Zuo Xiaobi is definitely a veteran tourist, and the calmness on his body cannot be faked at all, and Lu Ning can't even feel the evil aura similar to that of other puppet party members outside of his words.
is a terrible person.
Lu Ning sorted through the letters she had just read, made a note on her phone, then stood up and walked to the public restroom that Zuo Xiaobi had mentioned before.
There was no body, and there was not even any trace of a murder at the scene. Lu Ning glanced around, and then opened the third toilet door. When she opened the door completely, the other door also opened from the inside. .
It seemed that Zuo Xiaobi did not carefully close the door of this place when he left, but left a crack in the door. Lu Ning observed it and found no fatal traps around it. She thought for a moment, took out her phone and dialed a number.
Soon, the other party answered: "Lu Ning? What do you want to see me for at this time?"
"Lan Tu, I need your help with two things."
"Oh, tell me."
"First, I want to meet with Qisha. Do you have the ability to arrange it? I want to discuss a few issues with her. Second, I need a hidden space positioning device, like the one equipped by Charles before. Yes, a higher technological level would be best.”
"I understand. I'll try to contact Qisha over there, but I can't guarantee this. I'll ask Ana to send you the things you want. She will make some on-site records and take them back to report, if it's convenient for you. , do her a favor too.”
"That can."
Lan Tu hung up the phone and went to arrange things, while Lu Ning walked into the broken space of the Snake Meerkat. As Zuo Xiaobi said, this place is just like an ordinary student dormitory. It is not large in area and is filled with debris and four iron beds. At first glance, you can’t see any furnishings with technological content at all. It smells bad. Zuo Xiaobi stuffed the corpses under the bed, and the boxes and boxes were opened. It didn't look like they were cracked by force. The valuable intelligence documents in them were gone. Except for the part that was taken away, Lu Ning was there. A pool of ashes was found in the innermost place, which seemed to have been burned.
The only good thing is that the weapons hidden here have not been taken away. Lu Ning will not touch those hot weapons. Carrying prohibited firearms in peacetime scenes will cause a lot of trouble. Not as good as those tools.
Unfortunately, I didn’t see any useful tools. This is not their main stronghold, so naturally they will not keep any useful things. The only device that is suspected to be used to make this kind of folding space room cannot be taken away, because if you take it away, this pile of things will be destroyed. and take away.
Lu Ning touched the body last. The body had obviously been searched by Zuo Xiaobi first. With that person's level of detail, he would definitely not leave anything useful to the people who came after him. Lu Ning found nothing, but in the end he saw these people from the cut clothes. Body tattoos.
Zuo Xiaobi said before that their state of death was strange?
No wonder... Lu Ning took a knife from the side and cut off several pieces of iconic tattooed skin on the three people's bodies, then pulled a piece of cloth to wrap them up, and then left this place Room.
It was already dark. It was a rainy day after all, and those who came here to play had already left. Now she seemed to be the only one left in the huge garden area, which was very quiet. Lu Ning took a deep breath, turned on the light on her phone, looked around, and pulled up her raincoat.
A gust of cold wind blew by, making the air a little colder again. Lu Ning narrowed her eyes slightly and turned off the phone in her hand.
"It's very cold now. If I visit, I hope to receive guests indoors."
There was silence.
"Refuse to show up? Ah... I'm afraid I've been targeted by someone if I'm actively investigating like this. I felt someone was paying attention to me before. I could ignore it before. Now if I have time, I still want to find out."
Still no one showed up. It seemed that he felt that he was cheating. Lu Ning sighed. Such a dark rainy night was really suitable for his home court. She started walking, but silently, everything was covered by the raindrops falling around her.
The people hiding in the dark were a little surprised. They couldn't catch Lu Ning's whereabouts, and they couldn't even see the heat sensor. He didn't appear from the hidden place because he was still not sure whether Lu Ning had discovered his location. Since it was impossible to continue to follow Lu Ning, it was okay to visit the place she searched later.
And Lu Ning did not directly locate the other party's position. She just noticed that someone was following her, so she could escape from the other party's surveillance by silent means. Nowadays, most of the people who follow her without taking action are her own. Visitors whose mission progress is stuck. She had to rush to the last place to check the situation while it was still early.
The three strongholds of the Meerkats were all chosen near the entrance, and the last one was even outside Area 12. The film and television base is fenced, but it doesn't stop people outside from building some buildings attached to it. However, according to Lu Ning's knowledge, most of these were done by Lan Tu and Chen Qiying in order to surround this abnormal area. In the middle, emergency control will be carried out when necessary.
However, their manpower could not fill all the surrounding houses, so there were more people renting houses nearby. Now the snake meerkat rents a room here and doesn't even need the space-compressing equipment.
When Lu Ning arrived at the door of Area 12, a car happened to be parked outside the door of Area 12.
"Good evening." A woman wearing a waterproof coat got out of the car, it was Ana. She waved to Lu Ning, who was very happy to see her old acquaintance and walked quickly through the gate to the car. Ana reached into her pocket and took out a device about the size of a mobile phone.
"Lan Tu is a little curious as to why you want this. Do everyone here have mastered space folding technology?"
"The people here haven't reached that level of technology yet, so that's not necessarily the case for outsiders." Lu Ning took it over with a smile, "You also know how many messy organizations have gotten in here, and many of them are repeat offenders."
"Ha, if you're talking about that group of guys, I know them quite well." Ana licked her lips, "Our pioneering team has had many collisions with them recently, and both sides suffered casualties. But I heard that it seems like This is a normal situation during development, and the result is usually a fight, and whoever stands in the end is justified."
"Simple and crude."
"It is indeed that simple and crude, but this time it seems to be a little different. Both Qisha and Xixi told us not to easily make enemies with the people here, so Lan Tu did not cause too much damage. On the contrary, Captain Guo Some war weapons have begun to be deployed over there, so they have to give us a back-up."
"You are already preparing for this kind of thing?"
"Generally when we go out, we will comprehensively judge the threat and exploitability of a world. In this regard, the advance team will first find out the situation. Those of us in charge of logistics are responsible for verification and final reports. This is quite troublesome. The process is, but it is also a process designed to avoid problems in the judgment of a single team. This is the case now that Lan Tu has sent me here."
"So? Do you want to go in and verify, or..."
"Let me tell you first, I am also very curious about the snake meerkat. We have encountered their people during the operation, but they don't seem to be very aggressive. They mainly avoid people when they encounter them. They are so slippery and do not hold back. Guys, we are very curious about how they survive."
"Then...borrow a car?"
"Come up." Ana shook her head simply.
Lu Ning took off her raincoat and got into the car. Ana casually handed over a piece of chewing gum. Lu Ning took it and threw it into her mouth, which made her cough.
"Hahaha, let's go!"
