Chapter 538 Eliminate the traitor and deliver the 'fat sheep' to your door
Complete all procedures thoroughly and place the purchased mercenaries at the collection desk at the gate of the inner city.
Seeing that it was only three o'clock, he sent Turner away to take care of the exchange, and took Hao Qiang and Sumo with him to continue wandering around.
While dealing with Hao Qiang's identity, Sumo also figured out the disadvantages of cracking the mark by making some insinuations.
In terms of the seriousness of the problem, it is actually not that big.
It's probably after everyone's imprint points drop to 100 points and the time expires.
If you are inside the territory but not within the Free City, you will be forced to "flash" your computer, lose most of your data, and be locked out of the template usage rights, which will show similar effects to the cracked version.
At this time, if someone else transfers money to this cracked mark, it will be forced to turn on, but the identity will still be marked with a yellow warning, and a fine of 500 contribution points will need to be paid.
This kind of situation has happened many times in the Demon Soul Clan territory since the mercenary system was implemented.
Therefore, two ordinary gatekeepers dared to use their authority to forcibly erase the warning and only had to pay a fine.
"Director, let me go over there for a walk and we can separate?"
Compared with the outer city, although the inner city is smaller, the shops are denser.
Seeing that Hao Qiang was more interested in the ordinary goods on the other side, after thinking about it, Su Mo nodded happily, and the two separated after agreeing on a time at the intersection.
Thanks to the fact that entering the inner city requires at least a green stamp and a level three or higher template.
Not only are the people wandering around and trading in the inner city much stronger than those outside, but even the items sold in the shops are rarer.
If you walk into any store that sells weapons and armor, you can see rare old technology weapons directly on the wall cabinets.
Although the quality and treasure level can only be said to be average, for ordinary people, as long as they can own one or two pieces, it is definitely enough for self-protection!
In some shops selling imported goods, Sumo even saw "rare" items such as rice cookers, hand-held pesticide sprayers, water pumps, and miner's lamps that only humans could make.
"Master Hal, would you like two pieces?"
Seeing Somo looking here and there in the store, with a curious look on his face, the servant in charge of sales and soliciting customers came up.
Because of the nature of the product and the fact that there is no market for reference.
In the inner city, even the most common imported goods cost over a thousand yuan.
And some electronic products with advanced technology are priced at nearly 10,000 points.
"Sold well, don't sell it again next time!"
Picking up something that looked like a mobile phone, Su Mo trembled after seeing the price at the bottom of it, 48888, and quickly put it back.
The Demon Soul tribe does not know how to use mobile phones and computers, which are good things that only humans can use.
But this does not prevent them from realizing the exquisiteness of these things and then charging a high price.
At present, the purchase of mercenaries has consumed all the profits of Xinhuo Exchange during this period. Considering that the remaining funds need to be turned around and planned for the future.
Turning his head helplessly, Sumo strode out of the store.
"I don't know where the Demon Soul Clan got these good things from. It's really strange."
"If there were 8,000 people in the depression now, each armed with a steel gun, they might still be able to commit robbery, but now, we can only find ways to make more money!"
"Perhaps, we can get in touch with the demon soul clan lord Shi Nin in advance?"
Remembering the name of the store selling imported goods and thinking of the direction that the stone ninja was responsible for, Somo continued walking forward thoughtfully.
According to what the previous servant said.
This human being, who knew the location of the super-large human gathering place, had been selling it in the inner city of the Demon Soul Clan for many days, and many people had seen it, but they did not buy it because of the risk.
As the external steward of Liberty City on the surface and the lord of the Demon Soul Clan secretly, the Stone Ninja definitely knew the information about this person before this, and even met him more than once.
But he didn't buy it sooner or later. He bought it only after Hao Qiang came into contact with him and learned about this human gathering place.
The meaning revealed by this coincidence is quite intriguing.
"It's interesting. I didn't expect that before I even looked for this stone ninja, he was already thinking of looking for me. No, I'm afraid it's not Hal that he's looking for, but"
"In the depression, the human Su Shen!"
Based on the other party's motives and just a few guesses, Sumo analyzed the stone ninja's thoughts to a great extent.
Hal is in contact with the human God Su. This is news that everyone within the Demon Soul Clan knows.
Without knowing their strength, given their past achievements, in the minds of these people, I am afraid that the strength of the depression is not lower than that of the Empire of Light, or even higher.
There is already a difficult enemy, and the Demon Soul Tribe will certainly not make any more enemies for themselves, lest they be attacked from both sides.
As for the Lord Shi Nin, he wanted to make a comeback and regain the authority to control the Demon Soul Clan.
Not only does it require the cooperation of internal forces, but it also requires a reliable external ally to help it.
"The dwarves are currently expanding their territory at a high speed. They are busy grabbing more resources based on their numbers. They definitely have no intention of taking care of these troubles within the Demon Soul Clan."
"The tree people are too far away and have arrogant personalities, making it difficult to negotiate and control. In addition, after they leave their own territory, their combat effectiveness is erratic, so they are not a good partner."
"Among the several neighbors of the Demon Soul Clan, after counting, it seems that only the depression is more suitable."
"And want to contact the depression, this stone ninja"
Thanks to the direct suppression of information, even though the two of them had not met each other since their last separation, the stone ninja must have never imagined that they would not meet again before they met again.
All his motives were regarded as rotten by Sumo.
"It seems that my plan to occupy the dove's nest can be started in advance!"
"As long as we save 20,000 survival points, we will immediately find a way to kill this stone ninja and replace him!"
After understanding this, Sumo instantly lost the intention to continue shopping.
After returning to the agreed place with Hao Qiang, and continuing to think about some other details, the two met and started walking towards the outer city.
With the staff handling it in advance, by the time Somo arrived at the city gate, seven mercenaries had already been waiting for a long time.
Taking seven people with him, the group began their mighty return.
Wow!
The familiar test passed, and the inner city's shielding barrier disappeared, revealing the wasteland's original sky.
After some delay, it was now early six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time for the shops in the outer city to close.
Relying on the afterglow of the setting sun on the horizon, people flowed into the Liberty City, people going home and people leaving the city.
"How is it? Do you feel like you are new to life?"
The familiar yet unfamiliar scene seemed like a world away to all the mercenaries.
Upon hearing Sumo's joking inquiry, everyone nodded numbly.
But as Sumo's next words came out, there was a faint glimmer in their eyes!
"Let's go home!"
Home.
For mercenaries, it is an unfamiliar term.
And for those of them who are born with hatred and a mission, it is an extremely luxurious word!
Seeing that Somo had strode out, everyone paused, looked at the door stone behind them that was already emitting a faint light, and followed him briskly.
From the outside, they don't seem to be much different from when they "leave the factory".
But if you look at their subtle movements and expressions, you can see something that is extremely difficult to find in other mercenaries.
Spirituality!
"Shopkeeper, you are back!"
"these are"
From afar, when he saw Somo returning with seven new faces, the tree man in charge of cleaning had a glimmer of doubt in his eyes.
Subconsciously, he directly communicated the news directly in the mark.
However, unlike in the past, after he sends a message, the other party will reply instantly.
This time, even if Sumo walked into the exchange from far to near with a smile, there was still a pool of stagnant water in the mark!
For a moment, the tree man seemed to realize something and became a little panicked.
But when he saw the seven new colleagues with the same smiles as Sumo, he cheered up and went to greet them:
"Everyone, are you new here? Let me introduce to you the rules of our exchange."
"here it is"
"No, come in, I have something to announce!"
Before the tree man's slightly trembling voice could finish, Somo's words had already come out through the empty outer hall.
For just a moment, the tree man didn't fully react and take any action.
In his line of sight, seven of his colleagues immediately surrounded him. It seemed that the tree man was about to leave and he was about to take action.
Seeing the malicious looks in these people's eyes, Shuren's heart felt cold, but he still forced a smile that looked like crying on his face:
"What is this? What are you doing? We are all our own!"
"Come on, let's go, I'll show you the way!"
Like a kidnapped kidnapper, the moment the tree man entered the store, the mercenaries behind him quickly closed the door and lowered the bolt.
After being "escorted" all the way to the courtyard, looking at the other mercenaries already kneeling on the ground, the tree man's feet softened, and all the branches and leaves drooped down.
"Very good, eighteen people, our family has finally gathered together."
"Come on, tell me, which "adult" have you disclosed our internal information to?"
"By the way, you don't have to think about asking for help from the people behind you. I think they should know what the current situation is like better than you, right?"
On the way back with the mercenaries.
Somo did not choose a remote path or separate actions.
Wherever there were many people, he walked with seven people there.
Wherever there was prosperity, he would deliberately take the long way back.
Along the way, when greeting some idle people, Sumo didn't have the slightest scruple. He introduced to these people the "masters" around him who spent a lot of money to buy them back like a salesperson!
The effect of this performance is also very good.
As of now, eighteen people can still stand here, and no one has left.
It is a "choice" and "compromise" by the people behind it.
"I said, I said, Master Hal, please don't kill me."
After sending more than a dozen messages in a row, I was sure that the other party had blocked me and there would be no reply.
The few cooks in charge of cooking immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed and worshiped, and kept begging.
"The person looking for us is a werewolf named Ha Jin. He promised to give three of us one hundred contribution points a day."
"Our job is to report what the owner ate, where he went, and..."
Turner, who was standing aside, stepped forward suddenly: "And what?"
"And when necessary, set fire!"
Wow!
Hearing the word "arson", Sumo still felt a chill in his heart, even though he had already made some assumptions.
And marketing talent sets fire to enemy warehouses.
Obviously, the other party also knows where the weakness of Xinhuo Exchange is.
With their status as cooks, as long as the three transformed people make a slight mistake, the whole room will instantly turn into a sea of fire.
Along with all the materials stored in the warehouse in the front hall, they will also be reduced to ashes along with the sea of fire!
At that time, in the consciousness of the three mercenaries, Hal and Turner, who had no money and status, were just ordinary third-order template owners.
Of course the big shot behind them can use strong means to protect them!
"Master, we are also willing to recruit. The person who hires us is"
Three mercenaries opened their mouths.
The others did not hesitate to resist, and they were all like pouring beans through a bamboo tube, clearly explaining their collusion with outsiders.
There are seventeen people, and there are eleven families in total behind them.
While the first few people were talking, the seven mercenaries they had just bought were still able to stabilize their mentality.
But later on, when the methods revealed by these people became more and more "cruel", even they couldn't help but have murderous intent in their eyes.
The three people responsible for maintaining order are usually responsible for recording the latest activity information of the exchange and delivering it in a timely manner. At critical moments, they collaborate with those who are interested in causing trouble directly.
The five people who organize the entry and exit of goods are usually responsible for recording and reporting the sales of goods. At critical moments, they are responsible for replacing goods, passing them off as good ones, and even stealing valuable goods, which has caused Xinhuo Exchange's credibility problems.
They guard the facade and are responsible for recruiting five people to receive guests. They are usually responsible for sorting out and reporting the membership list of Xinhuo Exchange. At critical moments, they transfer stolen copies of contracts placed in the store and make huge profits from them!
But when it came to the two people responsible for cleaning the courtyard, their methods were even more ruthless.
On weekdays, they are responsible for snooping for information and reporting truthfully to their superiors what the two said and did.
At the critical moment, they will take action directly, responsible for poisoning and destroying all evidence of crime!
Like an all-round attack, eighteen people surrounded the entire exchange and the people living inside it.
With the convenience of imprint communication, what did the people living in it say in the last second.
The next second, they might overhear it and report it to the people behind.
"Very good, very good, you are really good!"
Recording everyone's crimes on paper, looking at these "bloody" words, Turner shivered with anger, and his face twitched involuntarily.
"I ask you, since you don't know who the big shots behind these people are?"
"Why did you choose to betray us!"
"You just believe that they can protect you?"
Faced with Turner's angry questions, all eighteen people remained silent.
A huge gamble, the two ends of the scale are freedom and wealth on one side, and life and death on the other.
From beginning to end, these gamblers cannot be blamed for making wrong choices.
The only reason to blame is that Xinhuo Exchange rose too late, or in other words, rose “too early”.
Who would have thought that a secondary shelter with no backing and no money could rank among the top twenty in just one week.
Who would have thought that Hal, who originally failed to explore the depression, could miraculously continue to get on the line and become a close business partner, worthy of the Guardian's investment.
"Okay, Turner, let's send them on their way!"
"If they die in this gambling game, someone will naturally come to pay their gambling debts!"
After putting away the evidence that recorded everyone's crimes and taking a deep look at everyone present, Somo activated the restriction from his mark.
As the master of a group of mercenaries, under the restrictions of authority, everyone instantly lost control of their bodies and turned into lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
With full anger, Turner licked his lips and stepped forward with a machete in hand.
As the first ray of sword light fell and looking at the blood spraying everywhere, Sumo nodded, and the seven mercenaries followed him sensibly.
"Don't worry!"
"From now on, we are a family!"
"The person who betrays me, even if he flees to the ends of the world, I will personally catch up with him and take back the life I gave him."
"But whoever is loyal to me, I will give him freedom, give him strength, and help him fulfill all his wishes!"
Carrots and sticks are always the best way to control people.
Hearing the screams from behind, all the mercenaries shrank their heads, with fear in their eyes.
However, just when Somo was about to continue speaking, someone knocked on the closed door, making a clanging sound.
"So fast?"
At this time, the one who can knock on the door will definitely not be an ordinary trader.
When he thought that the mercenaries behind him had only dealt with two of them, but the person who was paying gambling debts was already at the door, Su Mo frowned and motioned to Hao Qiang, who was standing beside him, to open the door.
Wow!
The door bolt was lowered and the door was slowly pushed open from the outside.
Looking at the two faces that appeared at the door, Sumo was stunned for a moment, and a bright smile instantly bloomed on Somo's face.
"Oh, this is a rare visitor!"
"Guanshi Shi, hurry up, please come in, please come in!"
