Although the people in the upper area do not think that the existence of angels has any inevitable significance.
But in fact, the deterrent power of angels is quite high.
Including the Veil of Ignorance and the Eternal Reincarnation, the most high-profile underground organizations have recently been forced to retreat from their locations in the "Tian'en District" in the center of the city to the borders.
A long time ago, being able to occupy this area was proof of status.
There are strong ones among them who are united enough to seize this area from other colleagues; they dare to stay close to the execution department without being driven out to death, which shows that they are not afraid of the execution department and can
Carry out aggressive actions without fear of retaliation. This will naturally attract other uncoders to submit.
There are a large number of criminals among the Uncoded... There are indeed a lot of bastards, but there are very few real fools.
They know very well that given their position and identity, they must stick together to survive.
But angels also live in the executive department.
No matter which direction they patrol, they must be "refreshed" from the Xiacheng District corresponding to Tian'en District.
This means that just living below Tian'en District has become a fatal risk.
The two most popular areas at present are below the Pendulum District near the Snow Mountain, which is the prison, and below the Luopan District between the Ling Pendulum District and Tian'en District.
The former is the area occupied by the Veil of Ignorance, while the latter is the eternal cycle of reincarnation.
This is the territory assigned to them by their godfather.
Although it was said at the beginning that they wanted to unite to fight against the angels.
But it's okay to cooperate with other organizations... After a month of trying, the two of them still can't fight side by side.
The main reason is that they lack leaders who can convince both parties at the same time.
Only when the godfather occasionally appears can he temporarily mediate the conflicts between them.
And this, in turn, deepens the authority of the godfather... and makes it more difficult for other leaders to convince the public. Once one of them makes more sacrifices than the other, the two parties will quarrel after the war.
In order to avoid a civil war, in the end they could only temporarily separate. And because of the pressure brought by the angels, they did not dare to separate too far, so they retained the possibility of supporting each other for the time being.
However, the battle situation in Xiacheng District has gradually stabilized.
It's not that the angels are not doing enough work, or that the number of mages has suddenly increased explosively. The reason is actually very simple.
That is, under the pressure of angels, mercenary groups that were originally free from these criminal organizations were forced to choose a force to join them.
These mercenaries were originally free men... and there were definitely no mages among them.
But they are also Uncoded and illegal psychics. And they have definitely committed crimes such as murder, robbery and theft, so it is impossible for the angels to hold back on them.
It is impossible for mercenaries in squad mode to fight against angels.
They are also uncoded people and criminals. They cannot live in the upper city and will be killed in the lower city, so they can only choose to attach themselves to the group...
On the contrary, this has caused that as the form of war changes, the combat power of the psychics of criminal organizations has increased instead of falling.
After all, these mercenaries can be said to be elites in all battles.
Compared with those who only know how to bully civilians, or engage in group warfare to bully criminal organizations...the main targets of mercenaries are other mercenaries, except for elite prosthetic bodyguards.
Their joining has greatly improved the combat capabilities of these organizations and allowed them to make up for a huge shortcoming.
That's intelligence.
These criminal organizations have always wanted to grab what they want. Even if it is not for the benefit, they still want to attack others for the sake of existence, fun and revenge. Naturally, it is impossible for anyone to communicate with them.
Mercenaries are relatively more orderly. At least they rely on middlemen and can reason reasonably.
So after the mercenaries joined, the organization in Xiacheng District quickly evolved a new mode of action.
That is to let the mercenaries receive orders in batches, and then they help the mercenaries complete the orders. They then rely on the mercenaries' "accounts" to purchase supplies and information.
In this way, these mercenaries become similar to contractors...
Originally, these mercenaries were very cautious when accepting missions.
Because if the task cannot be completed, there will be punishment. And they cannot appear in multiple places at the same time. If they don't get enough rest, they may easily have problems when performing the task.
But no more now.
As long as the pay is reasonable, you can take it with your eyes closed. It doesn't matter even if there is a time conflict, and they don't care whether it's dangerous or not... Anyway, those tasks are done by others.
There are many of them. As long as there are more people, many difficulties will no longer be difficulties.
So now the mode for mercenaries to take on tasks has become "grabbing orders".
Regardless of whether I can complete it or not, I will grab it first.
After snatching it, go back and distribute it to other people in the organization. They can take a commission from it, and all they pay in the middle is the reputation guarantee...that is, the penalty for failure of the mission.
Unlike other uncensored people with low desires, mercenaries have adapted to this lifestyle of "temporarily returning to the uptown" through middlemen.
A mercenary who is rich enough can theoretically even own his own villa in the uptown area. As long as he does not install an Internet-connected smart home and does not go out and walk under the camera, no one will know that the owner is actually an uncoded person. And the middleman can also
The executive branch argued, "We are not providing housing to people without codes, but they have cracked the keys and moved in when the owner is not at home."
They can even enjoy fine wine, delicious food, and beautiful women as normal. It’s just that they can’t order it themselves, but have to have it delivered directly to their door through an intermediary.
Of course, the rent of this villa will definitely not be cheap.
When they run out of money and return to Xiacheng District, they will be more eager to return to the life under the sun. Therefore, they will work harder to accept orders for middlemen.
Then if someone grabs too many good orders, they will easily start fighting.
Grandma Lan's commission to the "Godfather" was to mediate the conflict between the two groups of mercenaries.
At least don't let them fight in the open, causing trouble to other guests and attracting the attention of the execution department.
Originally, Grandma Lan had already conducted a round of mediation. She arranged a full set of hot spring services for the two of them. After soaking in the hot spring, they received essential oil massages from the two bunny girls. It would relax people's body and mind. In that state
A more rational and gentle conversation is possible.
After all, they themselves are not enemies. But after all, both of them are generals under Grandma Lan, so she can't be biased.
But I didn't expect that these two people were too vulgar, and neither of them gave in.
Before the massage was over, the annoyance and ridicule gradually turned into yelling, then attacks by throwing teacups at each other, and then a scuffle.
The two little girls had already stopped what they were doing and were cowering in the corner of the room with some fear.
They had a vague feeling that these two people dared to kill people. Not only could they judge from their words and deeds, but they also vaguely felt the bloody smell.
Rabbits are very sensitive in this regard.
And when they were already considering whether to jump out of the window and escape, the door suddenly opened.
The first one to enter was Grandma Lan. Her entrance attracted the attention of both of them, but the movements of their hands did not stop.
But after that, the young man with blue hair and ponytail walked in calmly.
At that moment, it was like pressing the pause button. The movements and expressions of the two people were frozen at the same time.
The girls are very sensitive, and I saw very clear fear and nervousness on their faces.
Both of those people are canine soul relatives.
It's like a domestic dog that, after tearing down the house, sees its owner come home, tucks its tail and folds its ears, hiding in the corner and shaking non-stop.
So they were full of curiosity about the young man.
He doesn't look vicious or violent... Although he is not as handsome and cute as Ultramarine, this young man has a straight back, thick shoulders, and always slightly squinted eyes giving people a warm and broad feeling.
Like the brother next door, the gentle senior, the baker standing in a room filled with the aroma of bread.
It doesn't look offensive in any way.
But the young man came in, took out a stool, sat in front of the two of them, crossed his legs, and looked at them quietly.
The two men slowly let go of their hands holding each other's collars.
"Fight?"
The young man didn't get angry, he just smiled and asked gently: "No fight?"
Silence.
No one dared to respond or even look directly at the young man.
The lonely wild wolves turned into dogs with their tails between their legs in front of him.
