War is a business, and it is foreseeable that the border war that has just begun will be an unparalleled "money-burning" machine. Consul Tifami sent Bond, a business master, to the front line, presumably to make a fortune "War money".
The Gate of Human Spirituality is about to open, and with this incident, the number of representatives of civilizations who can attend is estimated to be less than half. However, Li Liang thinks this is good news.
The spiritual world is in a troubled time. Not to mention the many spiritual worlds in the Dark Spirit General Territory, the Central General Territory alone is known as a thousand cities. Behind each city-state there is a powerful civilization or organization, and there are intertwined interests among them. Humanity's current hard power has not yet reached the level of "competing in the world," so down-to-earth development is the right path.
Fortunately, there is a Dark Spirit Sea between the Dark Spirit General Territory and the Central General Territory. The River Toad people on the Bank of Eternal Tide have always been anti-war. Whether behind this war is the alliance directing and acting on their own, or Harlan Potter leading the wolf into the house, and living alone. Humanity in this corner of the Dark Spirit General Territory can still be stable for a while, but Li Liang realizes again that the days of peace may not last long.
After the meeting, he sent the exhausted Robben and the energetic Li Anqiao to the spacecraft and chatted a few more words with the group. During this time, "Sorge" seemed to have become the main personality of the group, and several other familiar names Personalities such as "Whisper", "Old Ford" and "Director Zhang" also greeted him through Sorge.
Judging from everyone's attitude towards the group, it is obvious that they regard him as the number two figure, with a "status" even higher than that of Cain and K. He has never denied this, because only "Billy" comes from a thousand years like him Before, they had the same confusion and common goals.
Also leaving with the ship was Teemo. Needless to say, Li Liang knew that the Yoders would not miss this war. Although he was deprived of the title of hero, Teemo was still the scout captain of the Yoders. Since the war was discovered There is another possibility of the truth, and the top management of the Yodel Federation must be informed as soon as possible to avoid misjudgment of the situation.
After seeing off the spaceship, Cain hurriedly left and went to the Denali Order Bureau dungeon.
Buhe was a close confidant of China, and he secretly became the core believer of the Natural Sect. Judging from Cain's face, he was suppressing the idea of beating people.
K has not yet returned from Beijing. Mizuno leads people and Alsleng to search Buhe's secret warehouse. At this moment, only Allen is left.
The two stared at each other, and simply returned to Khan's lair "Giyaqi" together.
On the way, they talked about the war again, and Li Liang asked about Allen's hometown.
It turns out that fluid creatures are also a collective term, which includes fifteen civilizations from the basic world and dozens of indigenous races. Allen comes from the basic world of "Ozumai", a barren universe with extremely harsh environment. Even very early on, The door to spiritual theory has been opened, but it has always been an inconspicuous little civilization. Except for Gufo, who has no inspiration, all Ozumai believe in the Throne of the Elements, enlighten the 'factors', and then...work around.
According to Allen, it is not easy to find a job like a KCB security consultant. These days, you have to look like a carbon-based creature to be successful, otherwise you will easily be discriminated against when applying for a job, and even if it entered the company a few years earlier than Deep Blue, After a hundred years, the salary he received was almost the same, just because Deep Blue was a carbon-based creature.
Li Liang saw it. No wonder Allen was a "fine carbon". He had been PUAd in the workplace for a long time and had a bit of Stockholm syndrome. He also found that this Omazu wage earner was not worried at all about the impact of war on his own civilization. .
After thinking about it for a moment, he realized that Timo was considered one of the leaders of the Yodles, so he was naturally considering the interests of the race, while Allen was really just an ordinary Omazu, a man with a long lifespan and not much strength. A poor, ambitious but very small Omazu man.
Deep Blue, who is wandering around the earth with the "Big Chief Band", is actually this kind of person.
In the spiritual world, there are not only "heroes" such as Prince Mass, Prince Tam, Dododisar, and Timo, but also "ordinary people" like Allen and Deep Blue. Even if they learn magic and Taoism, they are just Just survive.
However, Allen said something that he deeply believed in, "Carbon-based organisms are accustomed to intrigues. In the final analysis, the reason is that the life span is too short. You always want to get more in your short life, but in the end you can only regret it." Die."
Of course, these meaningful words were intended to lead to the bragging that followed. He was not a flatterer, let alone a beauty. After returning to the penthouse suite of "Giyaqi", Allen was attracted by the girls playing in the swimming pool downstairs. He had no time to do so. Broken mouth.
Li Liangwo silently read long and short sentences in the "Nobel" language on the sofa, occasionally dipping his fingers in water and drawing runes on the coffee table.
At nine-thirty in the morning, Mizuno pushed in the door and brought news that Buhe's secret warehouse had been found.
Li Liang immediately took Allen and followed Mizuno on Khan's pontoon, all the way down the mountain to the logistics and warehousing center near the west entrance of Denali Sky Screen.
The sky is closed, and all means of transportation are not allowed to leave the city unless approved by the joint meeting. Therefore, the containers in the storage center are full, and even the surrounding temporary loading and unloading points are piled up. The Transport Union organized a large number of workers outside the Ximen office building. The parade was full of people.
The pontoon boat slowly passed by the crowd protesting against the closure. Li Liang noticed that among them there were teams under the banner of the Natural Sect. Although the core believers were extremely mysterious, ordinary believers could be seen everywhere, especially in some occasions to support the lower class citizens. .
As long as the whereabouts of the weapons are traced and the investigation of the Natural Sect is established, the sky curtain will naturally be gradually unsealed. Li Liang looked at the angry faces through the portholes. The dissatisfaction of the citizens became more and more intense, and his time was also limited. New Year's Eve at the latest Before going there, be sure to check out the lower city.
Half an hour later, the pontoon boat passed Khan's container yard, and the surrounding area suddenly became quiet. It bypassed the yard and entered the back door of a warehouse.
Alsileng and a group of cronies came forward. Li Liang got out of the pontoon and asked casually: "Did you find the goods?"
"Yes," Alslen said, wearing a Mongolian robe with fur outside, holding a belt with both hands, like a brown bear standing up, "This is the warehouse of the 'Alliance of Human Destiny'. I found a reason to transfer all the workers." If you go out, no one will notice."
Li Liang was not surprised, nodded and said: "Take me there."
The group marched toward the depths of the warehouse, passed through a secret door, and followed the stone steps to an underground cave.
The rusty iron door had been smashed open, and everyone filed in.
There are large lighting fixtures in the cave, and hills made of temperature-controlled cargo boxes stand around. Some of the boxes were opened, revealing the hallucinogens in glass tubes inside.
"These are all No. 3 on the other side," one of Alsileng's subordinates introduced.
Soon, the group came to an area deep in the cave, where dozens of Spade members guarded a pile of cargo boxes covered by canvas.
Alsileng stood still: "After verification, Buhe received this batch of goods. We notified Miss Sonoya as soon as we discovered it. It has not been opened..."
At this time, Allen showed a confused look, turned around and said, "They are all empty boxes."
"What?" Alsileng shouted, and then cold sweat covered his forehead, "Mr. Li Liang, I..."
Li Liang waved his hand, stepped forward and lifted a corner of the canvas, and opened the top box.
It was indeed empty.
"Open all the boxes!" Mizuno waved his hand, and the Spades members rushed forward.
Soon, one box after another was opened, and without exception, they were all empty.
"It's a step too late," Li Liang murmured to himself. His eyes stopped on an empty box. He walked over and leaned over to touch the bottom of the box with his hands and rubbed his fingers.
Mizuno came closer and touched it, put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and said softly: "Gun oil."
"Alsileng," Li Liang turned around, "Are there any people who associate with Buhe who work for the Alliance of Human Destiny?"
Alslen immediately looked at the men beside him.
The subordinate took out a flat-panel monitor, flipped through it for a moment and said, "There's only one."
"Find a way to get him to 'Ji Yaqi' so that the place can be restored to its original state," Li Liang walked out.
An hour later, he saw this man in Ji Yaqi's suite. His whole body was twitching, red and white pus dripped from his ears and eyes, and his entire face was distorted into something different from a human shape.
"It was like this when we found it," Alslen's face turned pale.
A bioengineer from a hallucinogen factory swallowed his saliva and said: "Judging from the blood concentration, I took at least four shots of Higan No. 3... I'm dead."
Mizuno smiled and said, "Is there any way to make him sober up before he dies?"
"...I'll try," the engineer turned around and ran out. A few minutes later, he brought back another tube of hallucinogen, which he stabbed directly into the carotid artery of the dying man on the ground.
In an instant, the man arched up like a shrimp, and his muscles were as hard as iron.
Alslen picked it up with one hand and yelled: "Where is the goods?"
The man's eyes were red and wide open. When he heard the sound, he regained some clarity and let out a heartbreaking scream: "Subversion——" Then his body went limp and hung on Alsleng's hand like mud.
Mizuno narrowed his eyes: "Subversion?"
Alsleng on the side may have realized the danger of the whole thing through this word. His eyes were lowered, his face turned from rosy to pale, and his hands were tightly clasping his belt.
Li Liang sat on the sofa, gently stroking the double ring.
The room was silent until footsteps sounded.
Cain walked into the room, looked around at everyone, then looked at the corpse on the ground, shook his finger and said, "Alslen, take your people out."
When she was the only one left in the living room, she stretched and said, "Get ready to go, everyone."
"Where are you going?" Li Liang raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Fuji."
"Why?"
Cain said mysteriously: "Because I just learned about a secret plan called...'subversion'."
"..."
Li Liang, Shui Ye, Allen, and more than a dozen Spade members in the room looked at the body on the ground at the same time.
