Chapter 669: Shining Light (two-in-one super large chapter, please vote for me)
The doctor picked up the bracelet and walked into the back room.
He Ao raised his bracelet and looked at the content in it.
Eve has already projected the screen of the bracelet bound to the 'Night Listener' account to his bracelet.
At this moment, the chat interface of the black market is inside, and there are chat records between Eve and the 'blood wolf'.
The content of the record was very simple. Eve sent a message asking for the details of the task, and then sent a very formal personal introduction.
This is a personal introduction generated based on the account "Listening to the Night". Generally speaking, it means that I am a solo traveler with rich experience.
There is a lot of talk about Chelulu, but not a single bit of actual information is involved.
These words on wheels are valid for He Ao and even for any lone traveler.
However, this kind of self-introduction should be very common in places like the black market, so Xue Lang did not ask in detail.
Then there is the general content of the mission that the blood wolf replied, 'kidnapping some wanderers and delivering them to the agreed upon location'.
The only problem is that the quantity requirement is large, so it is a lv2 mission.
Level 2 means that this is a task that requires at least a transcendent person or a gang to take over.
Of course, Xue Lang only mentioned the general mission requirements and did not mention a word of detailed information.
Seeing these messages, He Ao directly replied, [I decide who will be kidnapped? As long as they are homeless?]
The other party seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then replied, [No, I will give you a list, and you arrest people according to the information in the list. After you catch the person, send the person to the designated location.]
List? Wanderers' list?
In fact, He Ao can understand why this mission is to capture wanderers. In fact, this is an attempt to kidnap a 'sacrifice' to feed the monster.
He Ao can also understand the method of arresting people according to the list. It is most likely for the purpose of "controllability".
Avoid the person who accepts the task from randomly grabbing some ordinary people to act as homeless people, which will attract the attention of the Pollution Cleanup Department, or keep catching homeless people in one place, causing a large number of homeless people in the entire area to disappear, which will also attract the attention of the Pollution Cleanup Department. s concern.
But what makes He Ao a little confused is why do they have such a thing as a homeless list?
In the entire federation, the only place that holds everyone's personal information is the Federal Social Insurance Group.
The municipal government only has information on residents who have issued passports themselves.
However, this information is only some basic information, and it is impossible to know the person's professional status in detail, or even whether the person is a homeless person.
The social security group can check an individual's occupational information in disguise through the social security status, but there are also a large number of companies that do not pay social security to their employees, and there are also people who do not need to work or receive social security.
In other words, if you want to get information about homeless people from the city government or social security group, it is impossible.
Because they don't know who the wanderer is.
The city government only roughly counts the number of homeless people every few years, and most of the time the statistics are inaccurate.
So where does this ‘blood wolf’, who is suspected to be from the descendant of evolution, come from on his wandering list?
Unless he investigated the homeless people deeply and collected their personal information.
But since he had gone deep into the homeless community, why didn't he just carry out the arrest mission, instead of taking a detour and hiring people on the black market?
Is this method deliberately used to develop members so that the process of member development is controllable?
Or are the people investigating information about homeless people and the people who arrested them not the same people?
He Ao was thinking and typing quickly and asked, [Look at the details of the list? Let me determine the difficulty of the task.]
There was no immediate reply, but after a while, a screenshot was sent.
This is a screenshot of a simple form, which contains basic information about a homeless person.
At the front is a photo of a skinny man with messy hair and a steel pipe, followed by his detailed information:
Santer, male, Nancheng 7th Street,
It seems that this list includes photos, names, genders, and activity areas.
Compared to a capture mission, it is already very detailed.
Immediately afterwards, Xue Lang sent another message,
[This person is no longer on Nancheng Seventh Street. I just took a screenshot to give you an example. The task itself is not difficult, but it is a little more complicated. Another requirement is that it must be kept absolutely confidential and cannot be discovered by anyone. If
If you do well, there will be additional rewards.]
He is no longer on Nancheng 7th Street...that means he might have been arrested a long time ago.
At this time, Blood Wolf sent a new message,
[If you really have the idea of taking on a mission, you have to take a test mission first. I will randomly send you a message about a wanderer. You go and catch it. This mission is not difficult. If you complete it well, we can start the next one.
For one step of communication, the rewards for subsequent tasks are very considerable.]
He Ao thought for a while and sent a message asking, [Is there any compensation for this test task?]
This time the reply was very quick, "No, but we will give you a certain amount of cash as compensation depending on the situation."
Failure to quote a clear price means the price is not attractive enough.
For tasks with high commissions, people are afraid that others will not see their high commissions. Only tasks with unattractive commissions will be secretive.
······
So why is this guy so honest and telling so much information? The fundamental reason is that he wants to have sex for free.
Well, it's not necessarily a completely free prostitution. It may also be to lure people to do test tasks. If they perform well, they will develop into new members. If they perform poorly, they will be captured and sacrificed together with the wanderers.
In that case, not only would they not have to give money, but they would also be able to earn another free sacrifice.
Although this is a bit unruly, what these people did may not be considered human beings, and it is not impossible to do such things.
The black market itself does not restrict the situation of gangsters eating gangsters. There are not so many bright rules in the underground world.
However, He Ao is not too worried about being besieged. What he is a little worried about is that in this test mission, the mission target is the wanderer designated by the opponent.
And they have details of homeless people.
In other words, He Ao couldn't just find a friend to disguise himself as a wanderer to meet the 'blood wolf' who entrusted the mission.
If the time given by the other party was short, there was no way He Ao could reach a deal with the wanderer as a stranger.
What's worse is that if the wanderer himself was bribed to be used for testing, then He Ao would directly expose himself if he consulted with him.
If you follow the trajectory drawn by others and don't know how much preparation the other party has made, it is easy to fall into passivity.
He Ao thought for a moment, and now the bracelet replied, [I'll think about it]
It is normal to think about this situation. After all, veterans of the black market can immediately see that the commission for this task is not much. Although the 'Blood Wolf' has taken the cake later, it seems that the rewards for the subsequent tasks will be very large, but it cannot be done all at once.
Making decisions is also normal.
A cautious approach will make you look more professional.
[good]
The other party responded quickly.
He Ao closed the bracelet and looked up ahead.
At this time, the doctor had finished making the phone call and came out. He looked at He Ao and said, "My mechanic friend will come over in about ten minutes. His name is Temok. He has high attainments in machinery, but
I can't promise you that I can build what you want."
"OK,"
He Ao nodded, then he smiled in confusion, "I don't know your name yet."
“Senzi”
The doctor said slowly, reaching over the counter and extending his hand.
"Sito."
He Ao also answered and raised his hand to shake Si Enji's hand.
Si Enji glanced at He Ao, then at the package on the ground, "Give me your bag, and I will extract the talent sequences of those two extraordinary people."
"good."
He Ao stretched out his hand, picked up the bag on the floor, and handed it to Si Enji across the counter.
As soon as Si Enji took it, his hand felt heavy.
Then he glanced at He Ao with some surprise, "Old guy, you have good physical strength."
These two extraordinary beings are quite big, weighing nearly 400 kilograms in total, and He Ao was able to lift it up with one hand. Although it seemed a bit strenuous, this strength should obviously not be found on an old man who looks to be in his late seventies.
.
And from Si Enji's professional point of view, He Ao's physical condition is actually not very good.
"Always working out."
He Ao smiled.
"Exercise can make you like this?"
Si Enji glanced at He Ao and crossed the counter with his bag in hand. Then he asked doubtfully, "Did you kill these two extraordinary beings?"
No matter how he looked at it, he didn't think that He Ao was someone who could burst out with extraordinary power.
"No,"
He Ao shook his head, "It was self-defense."
Si Enji's brows jumped, he shook his head and sighed, "I don't know what method you used, but it is obvious that your physical condition is not good. If you want to live longer, it is best to avoid this
A fierce battle."
He Ao looked at him, paused, and said, "Thank you."
Si Enji glanced at the gray-haired old man, sighed softly again, and walked towards the back room.
The appearance of an ancient old man with his young granddaughter here means something in itself.
If you can live your life at home, who would risk death and get involved in a battle with extraordinary beings?
As Si Enji walked towards the back room, He Ao was the only one left in the entire pharmacy.
He walked to the counter, folded the butterfly knife and put it back in his clothes.
At this moment, there was a soft sound of the door opening behind him.
He turned around.
Behind the counter behind him, an invisible door that was almost integrated with the wall was slowly pushed open.
A little girl who was no taller than the counter appeared from behind the door.
Behind the invisible door, you can vaguely see the front of the off-road vehicle.
She glanced around, and her eyes quickly fell on He Ao. She twitched the tip of her nose, and there seemed to be crystal ripples rippling in her jewel-like orange eyes.
On the cheeks with a little baby fat, there are also two faint marks reflecting the faint light.
When she just woke up, she was sitting alone in the passenger seat of an off-road vehicle, with no grandfather around.
She walked to the counter, grabbed the edge of the counter with her hands, pulled her body up, and quickly climbed over the counter. Then she walked to He Ao and hugged him.
She didn't say a word, pursed her lips tightly, hugged He Ao tightly with both hands, and was unwilling to let go.
He Ao stretched out his hand and put his dry palm on his granddaughter's shoulder.
I don't know how long it took, but the little girl seemed a little tired, and her hands slowly relaxed a little. He Ao reached out and touched her head, "Would you like some ice cream?"
There is a chain convenience store nearby, and He Ao took Jia Qian to buy ice cream before.
Jia Qian raised her head, glanced at He Ao, and then lowered her head again, "I want a vanilla and a strawberry."
Then she slowly let go of her hand.
Her voice still trembled slightly, but it was much calmer.
He Ao reached out and touched her head again and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go buy it."
"Wait a moment,"
At this time, Jia Qian tugged at the corner of He Ao's clothes and said, "Let's go after grandpa finishes his work."
She knew that He Ao must have something to do here.
"It's okay. The ice cream shop is nearby. Let's go and get back quickly."
He Ao smiled and said to his granddaughter.
Jia Qian looked at He Ao. She seemed to be trying to stick to her point of view, and her eyes flashing with desire for ice cream clearly betrayed her.
Then He Ao walked quickly towards the small door, "Let's see who of us gets to the ice cream shop first."
In the past, Sito often played this game of competing for first place with her granddaughter.
"I'll start counting to three," He Ao gestured to his granddaughter, "Three!"
Then he ran away,
Jia Qian was stunned, then ejected and caught up with He Ao.
The convenience store is not far from Si Enji's pharmacy, just at the other end of the street.
It's around six o'clock in the morning, which is when the convenience store opens.
Many employees who want to work in factories have to get up around six or seven in the morning to buy breakfast and catch the early bus.
This is the biggest wave of business in the convenience store in the morning.
However, when He Ao and his granddaughter ran to the convenience store, the flow of people in the convenience store had just begun, and there was not much.
Jia Qian ran to the counter faster than Heao. She stretched out her hands and said, "One vanilla ice cream and one strawberry ice cream. Thank you sister!"
The morning shift worker at the convenience store seemed to be a part-time student aged fourteen or fifteen. She was yawning a little sleepily at first, but looking at Jia Qian's cute look, she seemed to be more energetic. She smiled and picked up the
Two cones, "Okay, little sister, please wait a moment."
At this time, He Aocai slowly walked over, smiled and gave a thumbs up to Jia Qian, "Jia Qian is so amazing."
Jia Qian shook her head happily.
At this time, the clerk had already prepared the ice cream and handed it to Jia Qian.
And He Ao also reached out and paid.
Then Jia Qian naturally handed the vanilla ice cream to He Ao.
"Little girl, take twenty of the biggest burgers."
At this time, a tall man wearing light blue work clothes, with various black oils on his body, and a tall man who was almost two-thirds as wide as a convenience store double door walked into the store.
His eyes were surrounded by thick dark circles, and his face looked a little tired. He yawned and passed by He Ao, who was holding ice cream and carrying his granddaughter.
He glanced at He Ao and Jia Qian and said, "Good morning."
"Good morning."
Howe responded to his greeting.
"Good morning, uncle."
Jia Qian also excitedly raised the ice cream in her hand.
"Good morning, kid."
The burly man smiled gently and walked into the shop.
After walking out of the store, Jia Qian turned to look at He Ao and said, "Grandpa, that uncle seems to know us."
"You must have heard our description."
He Ao said with a smile.
After all, the combination of one old and one young is too conspicuous.
In the small drugstore, a burly man threw the entire hamburger into his mouth and chewed it. He glanced at the cane and butterfly knife on the cabinet.
"Old sir, to be honest, I already have some ideas in my mind. For your price, I can make you a near-D-level extraordinary item, which guarantees your satisfaction."
"How long will it take?"
He Ao held a burger in his hand and looked at the strong man.
This hamburger was forced upon him by the strong man just now, and Jia Qian also had one in her hand.
This strong man is Si Enji's mechanic friend, Temok, and he is also the strong man that Heao and Jia Qian met at the convenience store just now.
The reason why he could recognize He Ao and He Ao at the door was because when he came, Si Enji and Sunkou mentioned to him that He Ao was an old man and there was a little girl with him.
At this time, Jia Qian was also holding a burger. She raised her head and glanced at the strong man who was eating a burger like a jelly bean, and then glanced at the burger in her hand that was bigger than her little cheek.
His eyes were a little dull.
"If you're in a hurry, I happen to have equipment there that can be modified in three days."
The strong man picked up the butterfly knife, studied the structure of the knife with luster in his eyes, and thought for a moment, "Two and a half days."
"Is it okay to go tonight?"
He Ao asked, he may not have that much time.
"Tonight?"
The strong man was stunned, "This is too urgent..."
He seemed to be lost in thought, thinking about how to complete this equipment in one day.
After a while, he put the butterfly knife on the table, "If you want to finish it in one day, some structures may not be built so well, and the durability will be lost to a certain extent."
"It doesn't matter,"
He Ao said, "As long as it works."
"Okay," the strong man took out a camera from his work clothes, "Old sir, I want to scan the structure of your knife so that I can locate the opening. Don't worry, this knife will not be damaged."
"good."
He Ao nodded.
After getting the promise, the strong man carefully picked up the butterfly knife and started scanning.
It wasn't until he had scanned every detail with the camera that he breathed a sigh of relief and put the butterfly knife back on the table.
Then he looked at He Ao with some embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "Old sir, may I ask where you got this knife?"
“Made by a friend’s elder.”
He Ao replied calmly.
He could clearly see that this strong man valued this knife, but it was not the way a warrior valued a weapon, but the way a researcher sees an exquisite creation that is close to the truth, and an artist sees a beautiful work.
value.
He thought for a while and continued to add, "But that elder has passed away."
"ah?"
The strong man was stunned for a moment, with obvious regret and disappointment on his face.
"I can help you ask if there are any saved notes,"
He Ao continued, "But it's someone else's thing. If they don't want to share it..."
"It's okay, it's okay," the dim light in the strong man's eyes lit up again, and he waved his hand quickly, "It's a good thing if you can help me ask."
Then he scratched his head and raised his hand to glance at the bracelet on his hand.
His bracelet was in the style of an old-fashioned watch, with steel buckles strung together into a strap. It had a wild mechanical beauty. At this moment, the analog second hand on the bracelet was rotating rapidly. He raised his head and looked at He Ao.
"Old sir, time is a bit tight. I have to rush back to the studio immediately. I will contact you when everything is ready."
The two of them had just exchanged electronic business cards and had each other's contact information.
"Okay, please."
He Ao thanked him.
"it's okay no problem."
The strong man waved his hands quickly, then turned around and said goodbye to Si Enji beside him, and walked towards the small door.
Then he hit the door frame with a clang.
The door was too small, and he couldn't get through normally. He touched his head, squatted sideways, and moved out of the small door.
"This kid is so reckless,"
Si Enji on the side glanced at the crooked door frame, and slowly straightened it with his hand with some distress. Then he turned back to look at He Ao,
"After the secret secret medicines of the talent sequence are prepared, I will give them directly to Temok. You only need to contact Temok to pick up the things. What are your next plans? Wait until the things are ready?"
"I might go out later."
He Ao reached out and took off the folding knife and cracked crutches from the cabinet.
He was going to investigate some areas in St. John City where there were many homeless people. Since the people of Evolution had collected intelligence, they would always leave some traces.
At this time, Si Enji glanced at He Ao, walked slowly behind the counter, took out a spray from behind the counter, and placed it on the counter.
"Quick Hemostasis Recovery Spray, from Star Pharmaceuticals."
"Thanks."
He Ao reached out and took the spray.
This spray is very effective, can quickly stop bleeding, promote wound recovery, and can save lives at certain critical moments.
"Okay, let's go,"
Si Enji waved his hand, "Every time you come here, I lose something. I feel bad when I see you now."
He Ao smiled, picked up the spray, took Jia Qian's hand, and turned to leave.
At this time, Si Enji, who had already reached the door of the back room, turned around and looked at He Ao, "I have already opened the garage door next to him,"
He paused, "I'm still waiting for you to help me contact the Goddess of Life Church, don't die too early."
He Ao smiled and raised his crutch at him.
"A guy who matures with age."
Si Enji turned around and continued walking to the back room.
And through the corner of the door that opened, He Ao saw something placed behind the door. It was a photo frame, and inside the photo frame seemed to be a photo of Si Enji and some other people.
At that time, Si Enji seemed to be still very young. He was wearing a white doctor's robe, standing in the crowd, looking at the camera, smiling, and his eyes sparkling.
Looking at the people in the photo, some memories vaguely appeared in He Ao's mind.
He shook his head, turned around, took his granddaughter, and walked out the door.
