"Pluto" is the most mysterious of the many resistance leaders. As early as District 17, Song Lan was deeply impressed by the portrait on the wanted poster.
Until now, the photo accompanying the bounty of "Pluto" is still an AI-generated image of "?", just like the person who is too lazy to choose a profile picture when registering for the forum.
He originally thought that the leader of the resistance was a hacker, powerful enough to hack the coalition government's database, but Lu Xiang said that the main reason why he could not confirm the portrait of "Pluto" was because of the information provided by everyone who had witnessed him. The descriptions are all different, sometimes it's a man, sometimes it's a woman.
Psychic research institutions suspect that this is related to his abilities.
Now, Song Lan feels that the coalition government's database should be updated.
Because even Ashe and "Rat" who are rebels have never seen the true face of "Pluto". Ashe mentioned that the image of the other party is different every time he joins the resistance, and others have long been used to it. Pluto's mysterious acting style.
In her words, "Pluto" is the kind of person who comes to meetings every time, but does not express any opinions every time. He just chooses a corner and listens. After the meeting is over, he leaves on time without in-depth communication with anyone. Such a person, coupled with his changeable image, often leads to resistance cadres treating him as a newcomer who has just joined the resistance.
Not long after, the liaison officer "Rat" brought back bad news.
"Pluto" has ordered his men to send the young man to the Brotherhood's territory.
"I'm afraid we can't help with this matter. To start a war with an organization like the Brotherhood, you need to seek the opinion of the boss, and then more than half of the cadres need to vote in favor at the internal meeting. You shouldn't be able to wait until you leave. The process is complete.”
Ai Xi said, "But we helped you find the location where the hostage will be delivered. It's up to you whether you can rescue him or not."
"I won't worry about the next thing."
"Nothingness" moved his wrist eagerly.
He had just eaten two large bowls of braised beef noodles, and now his whole body was full of strength, making him want to rush into the brotherhood's den and start killing.
What's more important is that this time he is not killing indiscriminately, but has a good reputation.
The archaeologist is nominally a member of the Chamber of Commerce. No matter whether the Brotherhood treats her as a guest of honor or not, it cannot change the bad fact of kidnapping.
With a strong sense of justice, he naturally cannot sit idly by and watch.
"Nothing" was extremely dissatisfied with yesterday's action. All the limelight and popularity were stolen by Song Lan, which resulted in him doing nothing except shooting Scarface in the knee, like a tourist.
After bidding farewell to Ai Xi and "Mouse", he asked the "Dead Man Lottery" crew to stay in the apartment to take care of the house. Before going out, he didn't forget to pull Song Lan into a small room to discuss three chapters.
"I'll be responsible for taking action when we get to the Brotherhood's territory later. You can cheer me on from the sidelines."
"Well, you'd better act smarter."
Song Lan nodded. If someone was willing to act as a thug, he would naturally be happy and free.
But in his opinion, the "nothing" approach was actually a bit unwieldy. It was unnecessary to shoot Scarface in the knee, take him hostage and drag him to the second floor of the hotel. The longer the battle line was dragged out, the more likely it was that something would go wrong. A necessary accident, which is not in line with his principles of doing things.
"What's the meaning?"
"When you decide to take action, you must be quick, accurate and ruthless, and don't leave too many witnesses."
There was silence in the small room.
"my friend……"
After a long time, "Nothingness" asked doubtfully, "Are you sure you are a detective?"
In the past two days, he didn't see Song Lan's qualities as a famous detective at all, but he perfectly fit the image of a serial killer.
In terms of killing without blinking an eye, Song Lan is no better than the backbone of the Brotherhood.
"Let's go."
Song Lan avoided the question, put on his suit jacket, and walked out the door first.
………………………………
Meanwhile, Goldstone Casino.
After a brief handover, the brotherhood's bodyguard picked up the chain of the young man's handcuffs and dragged him toward the casino.
The gamblers in the casino have long been accustomed to this. Everyone knows that this is the territory of the Brotherhood. They are different from other criminal organizations. In the oasis, they do not need to hide their eyes from others and live like street rats. After the defeat of the encirclement and suppression war, , their influence has long penetrated into the oasis government, making them legal criminals in this country.
Seeing the casino manager coming out for questioning, many gamblers waved to him and cast gloating looks at the young man.
Although I don’t know how this young man provoked the Brotherhood, most of the people who were brought into the back hall of the casino in this way became the missing persons of the Oasis.
The back hall is a popular name among gamblers. It is said that it is filled with all kinds of torture instruments and is specially used to deal with those who steal and cheat in the casino.
When people hear that they are being taken to the back hall, they are often so frightened that they wet their pants.
But the young man's face looked as normal, and he had no consciousness of being a prisoner. Instead, he looked at the magnificently decorated casino curiously.
"You have caused us a lot of trouble. According to the rules, I should smash your knees first and then take away the little fingers of both your hands."
After entering the door, the casino manager said gloomily.
Behind the security door is a cold corridor.
"But you're lucky today."
"Why?"
The young man looked at him sideways, and the look in his eyes made the manager suddenly feel chilled all over, "200,000 watts is not a small amount of money. A reward of 10,000 watts is more than enough for a stranger who is unfamiliar with the place. There are many people in Oasis who are willing I will sacrifice my life for you for this money."
"10,000 watts cannot buy the rebels."
The manager strengthened his spirits and said, "You must be very desperate now. You finally escaped from the Skeleton Gang's territory. You thought you had found a savior, but you were sent here again by the resistance."
"You did not answer my question."
"Because the high priest...why should I answer your question?"
The manager suddenly raised his tone. Ever since they met, the young man has been very abnormal. Judging from the information investigated by the Brotherhood, the young man is not a big shot in the 17th District. The only thing they are interested in is that he has worked in the 17th District. Experience as a volunteer in the Law Enforcement Division.
Lu Xiang was famous for his protection against shortcomings. According to their plan, the disappearance of a young man from District 17 was enough for Lu Xiang, who was leading the way, to find Oasis himself.
But once on their territory, the identity of the law enforcer doesn't matter.
Although there were some twists and turns in the process, things eventually came back under their control.
"Think of happy things. In fact, you shouldn't have run away in the first place. If you didn't resist and followed the Skeleton Gang here, we would also treat you well as a guest from afar."
With that said, a few people walked to the room at the end of the corridor. The manager smiled and said, "Go in, there is someone you want to see there."
As the door was unlocked, a graceful figure came into view.
The woman in the room was dressed in designer clothes, with expensive earrings on her ears. Her long wavy hair hung down on her shoulders. When she heard the sound coming from the door, she turned around in surprise, and her pink lips barely squeezed out. A smile appeared.
"You're here."
?
A question mark appeared above the young man's head.
The manager pushed him behind him and locked the door.
This was a little different from the scene he had expected, or no normal person would have imagined that in the back hall of the Brotherhood Casino, there would be a girl waiting there who wanted to marry him upon meeting him.
The girl acted as a lobbyist, saying that as long as he obeyed the brotherhood's arrangements, they would be able to get married soon. Although he could not go back to District 17, the brotherhood would arrange a team for him in Lila to defraud the industry. The profits are unimaginably high. As long as they work for a few years, they can live a life like a human being in the oasis.
And as the girl continued to talk, the young man finally knew what happened to "him".
He was tricked from District 17 and came here.
He met the girl on a dating website. In order to trick him from District 17 and come here, the Brotherhood made a lot of efforts. Based on the criteria he filled in on the website, they found the girl who best suited his liking in terms of looks and personality. girl, and then the brothers packaged her as the daughter of a large company executive, gradually overcoming the young man's psychological defenses.
Ha, he is another innocent young man who has never experienced anything in the world.
The young man snorted coldly in his heart.
He never thought that "he" would be stupid enough to believe that a girl he had never met would let him come to the oasis to inherit the family property.
"Promise them, you won't lose anything."
The girl still tried her best to persuade, "Help me, if you refuse, they will send me to that place!"
"Aren't you from Oasis?"
"I-I came to the oasis from Liberty City (the capital of the Twelfth Neutral Kingdom)."
The girl's voice dropped.
During her time in the oasis, everything she saw subverted her understanding. When she got here, she realized that this place was not as beautiful as advertised online. The only reason why she had not been violated was She was "lucky" and met the love standards of a person from District 17.
"I don't want to be sent to that kind of place..."
She looked at the young man with pleading eyes.
The manager warned her that if she failed to convince the youth, she would lose value to the fraternity.
"Sorry, I can't marry you."
"Why, why?"
"Because I'm not interested in women."
The casino manager who came in happened to hear these words and was so shocked that he completely forgot what he originally wanted to say.
He found the girl, and he personally controlled all the chat records between them, so he knew very well that when they came to the oasis, the two had already reached the stage of talking about marriage, and the brotherhood also showed enough Sincerity, as long as this young man can trick Lu Xiang into coming to the oasis, he will not only be able to take away the girl he has long admired, but also get a large sum of money.
But just now, the young man revealed a secret that no one expected.
The manager took a full ten seconds to digest this shocking fact and asked, "So, do you like men? What type? If you have any specific requirements, I can also find a way to find them for you."
Lugging Lu Xiang to come to the oasis is the number one task assigned to him by the Brotherhood. Under this premise, he is willing to respect everyone's orientation.
"I don't like men either."
"If so what do you like?"
"Play poker."
"I can play poker with you, every day!"
Hearing this, the girl hurriedly said.
The discussion about poker did not go smoothly. The panicked staff came all the way here and said, "Manager, someone is destroying the place outside!"
Ruining the place?
The manager was shocked again. He felt that there were too many strange things that happened today.
This is the brotherhood's territory. In the years since he became the manager, no one has dared to cause trouble on their territory except for drunken and crazy people.
But if you encounter a drunkard who is drunk and crazy, the security guard can handle it properly, and there is no need to ask him for instructions.
"You stay here and don't go anywhere. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer when I come back."
Leaving behind a harsh word, the manager locked the door and followed the panicked staff toward the door.
"The manager, that's him!"
The young staff member pointed to the neatly arranged queue at the chip exchange desk from a distance. A middle-aged man was standing at the end of the queue, whispering to the young man next to him.
The act of vandalizing didn't seem to cause much commotion. The activities in the casino continued as usual, except for an unconscious security guard lying at the entrance.
"Are you sure it's him?"
The manager asked again. He had never seen any troublemaker knock down the casino security guard and then run to the chip exchange office and queue up like a normal person.
"it's him!"
The manager walked forward calmly and found that the middle-aged man seemed to be having an internal fight with his companion.
"I told you not to worry, you don't have to worry about me, I'll do some research."
"Haven't you watched a lot of movies? Just imitate the clips in them."
"The protagonists in the movies I watch are all decent people, and they don't take the initiative to cause trouble!"
The middle-aged man spoke plausibly.
On the way here, Song Lan and "Nothing" made a detailed plan. After arriving at the casino, "Nothing" was responsible for destroying the casino and creating chaos, while Song Lan took the opportunity to sneak into the back hall and rescue the young man.
But after arriving at the casino, they encountered a serious problem.
None of them had any experience in breaking up places, so after knocking down a security guard, "Nothingness" fell into confusion.
"Split up, don't follow me!"
"Nothingness" couldn't stand the nagging anymore and asked to split up.
There were fewer and fewer people at the front of the queue. Waiting for him at the exchange desk was a sexy casino girl with a smile on her face and asked, "How many chips does this gentleman want to exchange?"
"I'm not going to exchange my chips, I'm just here to ask a question."
"Sir, please ask."
"I'm planning to smash up this casino, but I don't want to accidentally injure innocent passers-by. Where do you suggest I start smashing it up?"
I have to fly back to Shanghai tomorrow and won't get home until around 8pm. The update may be later than 10pm.
Small theater its two hundred and sixty-three:
A certain day of a certain year, a certain day, a Monday, in the evening
"Lao Lu, this is a rare opportunity. I want to interview you. Do you have time?"
After having enough wine and food, Guan Lili moved in simple shooting equipment.
She found that she was full of interest in everything about Lu Xiang, and Potato Seeker should become a good character setting.
"have."
Lu Xiang leaned on the sofa. After constant training, she had already become immune to ginger.
Also immune is the title "Lao Lu".
It must be said that Song Lan's toxicity was so strong that everyone, under his influence, kept the title "Lao Lu" on their lips.
Just be Lao Lu.
Lu Xiang had already looked away. After all, it wasn't the first day she got along with Song Lan. She had already caught Song Lan's weakness.
Don't be complacent, there will be times when you call me wife.
Every time she thought like this, she felt much calmer.
"Okay, first question, when did you start liking potatoes?"
"The first time I went to eat, he cooked potatoes in a pot."
"I see, the first time is always of special significance."
Guan Lili suddenly asked, "Then how did you come up with the idea of using ginger as a way to practice spiritual practice?"
"You have to ask Song Lan."
"oh?"
"He used ginger to disguise potatoes, chicken legs, chicken wings and meat slices."
"...Have you been tricked?"
"Um."
After a long silence, Guan Lili said bravely, "Next question, how did he survive to this day?"
