Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

Chapter 11 Chapter 10 The Middleman

Zhuang Xuteng only needs one glance to remember beautiful women, so it will not affect his reputation among middlemen. However, he also admitted that although his memory was sufficient for appreciating beautiful women, he was still so amazed by Lucy that he almost couldn't help but take a second look.

Her figure is indeed very good, not only concave and convex, but also right in the middle line between natural and exaggerated. The silver yoga clothes tighten her body, making her even more lethal. It can be seen that her parents have given her a good foundation, and she is willing to carry out careful and rigorous exercise. This gives her body the fatal charm that fully balances beauty, sexiness, strength and agility.

Yes, Fatal Charm. Zhuang Xuteng weighed it carefully and believed that if he was attacked by Lucy, the only key to survival was whether he could shout "spare my life" in time.

It's indeed rude to only look at the figure, but if this woman doesn't show you her face, what other choice do you have? Even if we disregard her figure and overall impression, just from the outline, her face shape is very delicate, and her appearance is the same, but it is blocked by a metal mask. The surface of the mask is radiant and has a very confusing and concealing effect. It is most likely a shadow follower device. Although the mask left the mouth and eyes open, the strange light made it difficult to see clearly.

"You are the new person." It turns out that the mask can also change the voice. Lucy stood in front of Zhuang Xuteng, but her voice was erratic and distorted, as if coming from another place. "Ge Gongdao wants to register you as his partner. Do you have any objections?"

"Asking you." Ge Gongdao touched him lightly.

"Brother Dao and I are together, no objection." Zhuang Xuteng finished his routine answer and then returned to silence. Since it was best not to focus on the figure in the middle, he looked around to observe where she lived.

This is an old-fashioned standard apartment of 60 square meters with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom. The living room has a sunken design in the center and a circular sofa on the edge of the sunken pit. This design was very popular at the time, but the sunken ground reduced the space for flooring. At the same rent, it was not as popular as Zhuang Xuteng’s current smaller apartments.

Three walls of the living room are occupied by shelves, one of which is filled with various magazines and comics, and the other two are occupied by crafts and models. Her "collections" are all kinds of weird, many of which are beyond the scope of most people's appreciation. Some of them look a little scary, and they probably come from some underground organizations that should be banned. But what made Zhuang Xuteng speechless the most was not the aesthetic issue, but the fact that some items still had price tags on them, and it was clear at a glance that Lucy definitely didn't pay for them.

"Curious but not talkative, this is a good quality, as long as you are not the slow-responsive type." Lucy has been observing Zhuang Xuteng and commented: "The body and appearance are good, and there are no obvious features. This is good for It’s also beneficial to perform tasks. Brother Dao, you can’t do it, this guy is so easy to recognize.”

"There are pros and cons, and vice versa." Brother Dao arched his arms and raised his biceps.

"Ha, you always have a way to explain." Lucy lit a cigarette for herself, inhaled slowly, blew out smoke rings, and then said to Zhuang Xuteng: "Newcomers, you don't need to be so restrained. The two of us sit here and chat. For a while. You can read whatever you want on the books on the shelf over there. There is food and drink in the refrigerator, just grab it, don’t let yourself get bored."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded in thanks, but still kept his mouth shut.

"You should have teamed up again a long time ago. There are few tasks that one person can take on, and the risks are high, so it is not cost-effective." Lucy held a cigarette between her fingers and looked at Ge Gong in the lingering smoke.

But he brought up another topic: "Is there any news about vipers recently?"

"What do you want to know? Alas, it's still the same. When there was a problem with that commission, he left no loopholes. He is obviously a cunning guy. If such a person betrays you, he will be very careful to guard against your revenge. Maybe they've dug a hole waiting for you. Regardless of whether he has any new information now, you shouldn't go looking for him." Lucy took another puff of cigarette and said, "He is quite popular now, and he is a mercenary that Fatty D values. He has done a lot of missions, and it is said that he has a close relationship with the Blood Bat Gang."

"Mercenaries shouldn't hang out with gangs!"

Lucy nodded and said slowly: "I also agree with your idea, but there are no hard and fast rules in this industry, and there are no red lines. No one will say anything when he is going smoothly, and will even protect him, so he just You can wait. Besides, if you cause trouble for him, it will definitely affect your money making."

"That's a despicable and hypocritical villain! I almost lost so much money! He's become famous again? Damn it!" Ge Gongdao snorted and said, "Sooner or later, I have to make his true face known to the public, so that He paid the price for his betrayal.”

"Yeah." Lucy nodded and was about to continue the topic. At this time, Zhuang Xuteng walked up to her with a comic book and asked, "Can you give me this book?"

"Oh? Okay, take whatever you want, it's just a comic book. Uh, by the way, how old are you this year? Why do you like reading this?"

"23." Zhuang Xuteng did not answer the following question. He just smiled and nodded to Lucy and said, "Thank you."

"Thank you, there's no need. You have a nice smile, I like it. Oh, don't get me wrong, when tracking, spying and infiltrating missions, a smile that can express kindness and intimacy but has no special memory point will be useful."

This question... Zhuang Xuteng didn't know how to answer, scratched his head, turned around and walked away with the comic book.

Lucy stared at Zhuang Xuteng's back for a while. Seeing that he was concentrating on reading comics, she withdrew her gaze and continued to talk to Ge Gongdao: "Suo Yuwan said hello, so I paid attention. There happened to be such a stepping stone. The job is quite suitable for you to take him to familiarize himself with the situation. I didn't ask you, I just made the decision and grabbed it. The specific situation of the target has to wait for the documents from the courier. I can tell you now that the time is to start tonight, and the construction period is 20 hours. , the reward is 10%. If you have detailed map information, there will be bonuses."

The so-called "10%" in industry parlance is one-tenth of a platinum coin, which is equivalent to 500 euros.

"500 euros for some work? Usually this kind of work only costs a hundred euros a night. I feel a little strange. Who are you trying to deal with? It doesn't look like an ordinary task. Lucy, are you sure this is suitable for novices?"

"As I said, I'm waiting for the specific situation. I can tell you one thing at the moment: this mission has not been reversed."

No undercut is also their lingo. If the task fails, you will definitely not get paid. If there is no need for additional compensation to the client at this time, it is called "no deduction".

Even if this task is difficult, as long as there is no deduction, at least the mercenary's wallet will not be bleeding. Ge Gongdao once failed a task with an inversion and was thrown back to the current situation similar to that of a newcomer. As for other pressures, such as the personal risks caused by tasks, time costs, etc... Since you have chosen this industry, you should not be unaware of this.

"Lucy, do you know where the roots of this commission are rooted in the soil?"

Lucy gave Gongdao a very obvious eye roll on his face, which was not even covered by the mask. "Today I will tell you information about other middlemen, and tomorrow you will leave me alone and become someone else's stupid wolfdog. That newcomer doesn't understand the rules, don't you also? Or you don't want the protection of the middlemen anymore?"

"Don't be angry. I said the wrong thing. I admit my mistake and accept the punishment."

"Your attitude is just okay! It's not very satisfactory to me." Lucy stubbed out the cigarette in her hand, raised her arms, and waved her long fingers between the two of them like a baton. She emphasized her tone and said: "I have always taken care of you, right? This time will be no exception. Forget about that bastard, focus on the commission, and work hard first! You are still the Wolf King! "

"I've said it many times, my family's bloodline is not wolf, but werewolf. In addition to wolf, there is also a human character." Ge Gongdao gritted his teeth and looked helpless.

"Absolutely. If you don't have a personal name, no one will think you walk on four legs."

Lucy laughed. Her laughter should have been pleasant, but the mask distorted it, making it hoarse and dry. Zhuang Xuteng leaned on the shelf and read comics, while listening to the conversation with his ears. He didn't understand how much "10%" was, but he really understood "500 euros". Half and half is 250 euros, which is enough to quench his financial situation. He must get this money!

Oh, by the way, there may be a bonus, which is more money!

How to do the task and how to deal with the situation is up to Brother Dao to worry about first. He only needs to perform well and meet Brother Dao's requirements. This is just like going to work in a factory. Newcomers must not only work hard, but also avoid making blind efforts. Only with a good attitude and good abilities can you stand firm in the industry.

It's a pity that today's performance cannot be called perfect: he took the initiative to speak without saying hello. But he really couldn't help it, because of a good and ulterior reason: he saw some patterns in the background of the comic book cover, which were very similar to the patterns on the stone pillars in his dream!

He has been trying to restore the dream, and his mind is filled with hazy impressions of stone pillar patterns, so similar graphics in the comic book immediately stirred his nerves and caught his attention.

This series of comic books is called "The Brave Detective Evans Destroys Three Witches". It costs one yuan a book. The printing quality and comic content have nothing to do with exquisiteness. Its core is to use the flowing mat method to combine a lot of pornography, violence and pretentious content. Pitch it out. You don’t need brains to read this thing, and you don’t need to connect the context. Basically, you can read it when you pick it up, and you will feel happy after watching it. It is a good way to pass the time.

Since the content is repetitive, it needs to find ways to reduce creation costs. When it is necessary to draw a background, it uses several sets of material libraries to paste directly, often repeatedly. And there happens to be a pattern similar to what Zhuang Xuteng saw in his dream.

Is this a coincidence? Or did someone do it on purpose? I don’t know. If the numbers or a small piece of text are exactly the same, the possibility is not small, but the order and feeling of a large number of patterns are exactly the same, which is too much of a coincidence.

Zhuang Xuteng could come up with another possibility: "Tong Meng", that is, a certain painter dreamed of the same scene under the influence of Ying Cong, and then drew it as inspiration and stuffed it into the material library. Hmm... This sounds a bit unbelievable, but the possibility is finally a little bit greater.

Regardless of where it came from, the patterns in comic books were a great inspiration to Zhuang Xuteng. In previous attempts, the graphics in dreams were like long-standing memories, with only a very strong hazy feeling. It was difficult to recall the details individually and in detail. Now he compared it with the pattern in the book, and the content on the stone pillar immediately became clear. Now, he could finally see his dream clearly "with glasses on"!
