At 22:07 in the middle of the night, in the southeast corner of the Black Cave gathering place, this is the lair of Kaleva, the largest gang that semi-rules the gathering place.
A pickup truck slowly drove in. Finally, as it approached the entrance of what looked like a large industrial area, it was stopped by the Kaleva gangsters who were in charge.
The driver rolled down the window and handed out the prepared cigarettes very skillfully. The gangster in charge of the guard naturally took it, took one out, lit it, and frowned at the driver.
"Didn't you just come here once today at noon? What? There are new products so soon?"
"Yes... yes... I'm lucky. My supplier caught a few more fish. I'll send them to you right away!"
"Where's the co-pilot next to you? Why haven't I seen you bring an accomplice before?"
"Ah! He...he, he is, my new apprentice recently, I brought him here to learn the ropes, hehe...hehehe..."
The driver stumbled a bit as he spoke, forcing an unnatural smile on his face.
He hoped that the gangsters on the opposite side would notice something was wrong with him, but unfortunately, maybe it was because it was too dark at night, or maybe these gangsters never thought that there would be people in the dark cave who would cause trouble for Kaleva.
The gangsters at the factory gate suddenly burst out laughing, especially the one who had just asked, as if they had heard some shocking joke.
"Hey, hey, hey! Is it true? My ears are not broken, right? Now even the scavengers can actually lead apprentices!? These days, as long as you make money, you can do whatever you want - someone Learn!”
"Ha...haha...yeah..." the driver responded with a smile.
Usually the guards would do a symbolic check, but this time they seemed to be amused and had a stomach ache. They didn't even look at the back of the pickup truck and waved directly to the driver.
"You scavengers are really rich. I want to try it... Okay, okay, let's go in."
"Thank you...Thank you, boss..."
The driver nodded and bowed, pretending to be grateful on the outside, but actually he was cursing a bunch of idiots in his heart. He was about to say something but stopped talking, but when the young man in the co-pilot's eyes came to him, he quickly rolled up the window. , and then continued to drive the pickup truck toward the work area.
A few minutes later, the pickup truck finally stopped next to a warehouse.
"Big...brother, that's it. The next step is that after I unload the goods, I go to the head supervisor in front of the warehouse. He will pay me the checkout based on the price of the goods."
"This warehouse is where they store their inventory. If it's high-end goods, they will send people to a deeper place, but...but that's not where I can go..."
The scavenger tried his best to explain to Liao Ji. He didn't know Liao Ji's identity or what he was going to do, but he was very sure that this young man must be crazy.
Others wanted to stay as far away from Kaleva as possible, but the young man actually took the initiative to sneak in. He wanted to escape as soon as possible without being implicated by the young man.
"In which warehouse was the goods you delivered at noon put?" Liao Ji asked abruptly.
"That...that's a high-end product, and they sent it directly into the place I mentioned before."
At first, the scavenger was wondering why the young man asked this, but soon, when he combined it with Dr. Frederic's experience, he suddenly broke out in cold sweat, because he seemed to understand why the young man did all this...
"That nun has nothing to do with me. I...I'm just a transport driver in the middle. It's that guy Frederic, the black-hearted doctor!"
The man began to be afraid of retreating and tried hard to avoid responsibility, but when he saw Liao Ji's eyes that looked at him like a dead person, he completely collapsed.
"You...you can't, you can't kill me! If I don't go out for more than half an hour, they will send people to search, yes! That's right! You will all be exposed by then! As long as you let me be safe Leave, I...I promise you, I will never say another word to them when I go out!"
The scavenger thought he had a trump card for survival, but what he answered was a sharp pain from his back. When the scavenger looked down, he saw a sharp dagger piercing his heart.
"Why...why..."
The man didn't understand until his death. Didn't he understand that these two people were really not afraid of being discovered by Kaleva?
Until he heard the young man's words before he died.
"Half an hour... should be enough. Well, don't worry, no one can escape tonight. Soon, even the gangsters here will go down to accompany you."
"You... a crazy... lunatic..."
thump!
The scavenger, vomiting blood at the mouth, fell to the ground with a look of death.
After dragging his body to the side of the woods, Erin continued to sneak into the darkness of the night, while Liao Ji picked up Frederic's body bag on the pickup truck and headed towards where the man in charge of the warehouse was pointed out by the previous man. Walk to the location.
Maybe it was because it was relatively late. In the supervisor's room, including himself, there were only three gangsters in total, and all three of them were still drinking and playing cards to relieve their boredom. They were all half drunk. When Liao Ji came in, He didn't even notice his unfamiliar face and thought he was the original scavenger.
In this regard, it saved Liao Ji a lot of effort. The girl who emerged from the shadows behind her used a dagger to cut the throats of all three gangsters in the room and bring them down in just two or three breaths.
After finding the warehouse key on the leader's body, Liao Ji and Yilin entered the so-called "inventory" warehouse.
The first moment he opened the door, a pungent stench hit him. With the faint moonlight coming from the window, what Liao Ji saw was a miserable scene like a concentration camp.
Among the captured living people, there were both men and women. They were all very weak. Many were unconscious and only had their breath left. The source of the stench was the starved corpse in a corner of the warehouse. That was a Probably no older than a ten-year-old child.
"Let's go." After circling around and not finding Yilin's mother, Liao Ji said expressionlessly to the girl behind who had clenched her fists.
But anyone who is familiar with Liao Ji knows that when he is expressionless, that's when things really get serious.
That's right, in Liao Ji's mind at this moment, he was not only helping Yilin rescue her mother, but also sentencing Kaleva to death.
The Holy Kingdom was established by Sxiutia, and the Black Cave was part of the Holy Kingdom. Sxiutia was synonymous with all things pure, kind, and beautiful in Liao Ji's heart.
But now, in this land, there are such dirty and filthy black spots, Liao Ji cannot allow himself to just stand by and watch, not only for Yilin, but also for Sxiutia.
After finding two sets of gang uniforms from the management room and putting them on, Liao Ji and Yi Lin continued walking deeper into the factory.
Maybe this is a habit developed by "certain" games, which makes every berserker have a sneaking heart in his heart.
But this time they didn't go very long. It's not that they were discovered by others, but in Liao Ji's line of sight, not far ahead, there appeared a suspicious person who kept looking around, with a sneaky look. Gangsters.
The girl gave Liao Ji a questioning look and made a gesture of wiping her neck, but the young man shook his head, and then walked quickly towards the other party as if he was a guest.
Because he did not cover up the sound of footsteps, the gangster who was already vigilant was immediately startled by Liao Ji approaching. Only when Liao Ji got closer did he see clearly that he seemed to be holding something in his arms. When he saw that he was taking the initiative After walking over, he quickly carried it behind him.
"Hey! What are you doing sneaking around here alone! There is something hidden behind you, take it out! Otherwise I will call someone!"
When Liao Ji shouted at him and said he wanted to call someone, the sneaky gangster who was alone immediately panicked. He quickly shook his head at Liao Ji and then showed Liao Ji what he had hidden.
Broken antiques, clay sculptures, copper coins, and...rusty copper keys?
Liao Ji frowned when he looked at the rags in the opponent's bag. This made him very confused.
On the other side, the sneaky gangster seemed to have come back to his senses. He looked at Liao Ji's unfamiliar face, frowned, and then began to question:
"Wait! Wait a minute...who are you? Why have I never seen you?"
"Oh, we are Lord Simon's subordinates, um...recently recruited." Liao Ji answered casually, Simon was the name of the warehouse supervisor.
When I heard that Liao Ji was just an ordinary member and a new member who had just arrived recently, the man opposite me saw his forehead darken. He immediately took back the bag he showed to Liao Ji, and his attitude towards Liao Ji completely changed.
"You ****! You made me scared! Didn't that bastard Simon teach you **** rules?"
"What are you going to do with these things?" Liao Ji ignored the man's curse and asked directly.
"I...hey! I'm also on my back today! I ran into you two stupid young people! Forget it, it just so happens that I brought a lot of goods today, you guys can help me share some!"
goods?
Are these also goods?
"What are you still doing? Take it!"
After the cursing man distributed these gadgets to Liao Ji and Yilin, he said with a commanding tone:
"Listen up newcomers, you are lucky. Now there is a way to make a fortune in front of you. As long as you do as I say, we can all make a lot of money. Now, the first thing is to go back to your warehouse. Just move any experimental subject out, remember to keep it hidden and don’t get discovered, do you understand?”
Liao Ji, who was behind the man's words, hesitated for a moment and then made a gesture to Yilin. The girl nodded and immediately turned back, while Liao Ji himself stayed here to prevent the gangster from escaping.
"Oh, he's quite smart. Yes, I like it! How about it, are you interested in following me, Artur, in the future?"
"Okay." Liao Ji said quickly.
Artur: "Uh..."
Perhaps within a minute, Irene came back with a body bag on her shoulders. Artur swallowed quietly as he watched Irene walking so quickly.
"You buddy...are quite strong."
"Then what? Can you tell me your next plan?"
"Don't worry! Come with me with the body bag, and I'll tell you when I get to the "factory" first. "
In this way, under the leadership of Artur, Liao Ji and Yilin had an unobstructed journey and successfully arrived at a large factory located in the deepest part of the park.
As soon as they approached the factory, Liao Ji and the girl frowned at the same time, because they both felt the... turmoil emanating from the factory.
Moreover, this level of pollution is absolutely unmatched. It must be at least around level C. A pollution source that can cover such a large factory... Yilin couldn't imagine what must be inside.
The security of this Zhuohe factory has obviously increased. Even at this point, there are still several teams of gangsters patrolling the area. There are also a large number of gangsters at the entrance of the factory.
But fortunately, Artur was there, and he obviously bought the relationship, so that the guards did not question them too much, and gave them three crosses while giving them permission.
"Take it, be sure to wear it, this is a life-saving guy!" Artur turned around and handed the two to Liao Ji, and then he took the lead in hanging the cross carefully close to his chest.
Liao Ji looked at the cross and could feel the faint breath of holy light from inside. This came from Sshutiya's ability, one of the few that could purify and offset the evil.
It now seems that the reason why Kaleva was able to open such a hugely polluting Zhuohe factory here, but not many members went wild and mutated, is probably because of these crosses, which serve as "protective suits".
but.
Cross...?
It would be fine if there were just a few crosses, and it could be explained as coming from special channels. But if crosses are used as consumables like now, hundreds of crosses may be used every day...
The gang itself has no possibility of making a cross. Only one organization can produce a cross with the power of Scutia.
church.
When he thought of Sxiutia's power being used like this, Liao Ji looked at the factory with a colder look.
After the three of them came in smoothly, Artur was familiar with the road. He spotted a corner and led Liao Ji in. This was considered a blind spot in the field of vision. Normally, people in the factory would find it difficult to spot them in the corner. .
"Okay, now you just need to take out all the things I gave you before. I hope you will have better luck this time and produce more good products!"
catalytic?
Could it be that...
It was only then that Liao Ji finally understood.
This factory is full of strong turbid pollution, but if you think about it from another angle, it is also a resource. If you can sneak in external items, deliberately keep them away from the cross, and let them be contaminated by the turbid pollution here, maybe it will happen. can make it become...
Ruinous items.
No, look at the man's appearance, it doesn't matter even if it's not a real Zhuo'e item. As long as the item is contaminated with the Zhuo'e aura, he can take it out and sell it back on the black market, and he can make a fortune!
This is the way he first told Liao Ji to make a fortune.
beside.
Erin was stunned.
The girl stared blankly at the "clay sculpture" object that was assigned to her hand. It seemed so familiar and so... ironic.
Because six years ago, her father happily thought that he had taken out "precious" evil-eating items on the black market, and then he became an evil-changer, triggering a series of tragedies that followed.
Erin never thought about it, never thought about it.
It turns out...all this...
"Artur, have you ever thought about... what kind of disaster will happen if you contaminate these items with evil and circulate them to the gathering place outside?" Liao Ji took a deep breath and asked.
"Ha!? Is there something wrong with your brain? You have trouble with money, right? What about those people who bought the goods? They have nothing to do with me! If something really happened, they deserve it if I tell you. ,ask for it!"
"Have you ever thought that if you didn't do these things, you could prevent many tragedies from happening?"
"Hiss... Hey, you are really funny. I won't do it? Do you think I'm the only one doing it? Shit! There are many people in Kaleva like me who make extra money secretly by doing this. went!"
Artur looked a little annoyed. He was kind enough to lead them to make a fortune, but now the two of them were asking him if he had any conscience?
Is conscience useful? Can conscience make him rich?
Still conscience...
Pooh!
"Come on, let me tell you, if you really have a conscience and want to be a good person, you can take over this factory. Then we will have no place to work. But do you have this ability? Do you know what's inside this factory? What's that lying around? If you don't have the ability, don't bullshit me here!"
"What is it?"
Seeing that the young man opposite was still arrogant, Artur sneered.
Immediately afterwards, the gangster mocked Liao Ji in a tone full of pride and pride:
"Haha, listen up newcomer, it is stored here, but the reason why we, Kaleva, are so powerful is the biggest trump card for the owner of this black cave!"
"That's the relic of the legendary..."Great Emperor" that we dug out from the [Relics Cave]! "
As he said this, Artur's face showed enthusiasm and longing. No one would not be crazy about something with the word "Emperor", let alone a real relic.
He has just drank a little bit of the soup from the "relic". There is so much oil and water, so many Kaleva members have to risk their lives to drink this soup at the risk of violating the regulations.
One can imagine what a huge fortune it would be if one could really own an "Emperor's Relic" in its original form!
pity...
This kind of thing is just a fantasy. After all, even Kaleva has not yet figured out how to use the "Emperor's Relic" they dug up, otherwise they would not have built such a large factory. , collecting "test subjects" from everywhere just to try to awaken the "relics".
However, Artur believes that one day Kaleva will be able to successfully activate the "Relic" and awaken the true power of the "Emperor's Relic".
Then...
Hum.
Not to mention a dark cave, they were about to head towards the number one gangster in the Holy Kingdom.
Just when Artur was still immersed in the fantasy of a better future, the young man who had been immersed in it for a short time next to him spoke again.
"That's it... no wonder." Liao Ji sighed with mixed emotions.
"What's so strange? Hey! Wait a minute, where are you going! Don't wander around!"
Seeing Liao Jijie getting up and leaving, Artur became anxious. The fact that they drank the "relic" soup was considered an unspoken rule in Kalevane. If they were discovered, they would still be severely punished.
But who knows, in response to his anxious dissuasion, the young man turned around, seemed to think about it for a while, and finally said.
"Probably to... retrieve something that belongs to me?"
