Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

"Don't tell me that these are all part of the plan, because it will make me think that you look down on my IQ." Zhuang Xuteng sat across from Lucy, said his thoughts unceremoniously, and then followed. Brother’s advice was to avoid making things worse, so he added: “If you don’t want to speak, you can answer with silence.”

Lucy felt her scalp itchy and raised her hand to massage it a few times. Because of the mask, no one could see her expression, but they could all see her embarrassment. Lucy could only say in the end: "The mission was completed very well, thank you for your hard work."

"As long as you are satisfied." Zhuang Xuteng spread his hands, then slowly closed them and rubbed his fingers: "Don't forget the balance."

"Are you in a hurry to leave? I will transfer the money to you right away." Lucy said: "You overkilled the other party's intelligence officer. This is a positive performance of your work and you should receive a 100% bonus. In this matter, everyone How about 160,000 euros?”

The total amount per person is 160,000? Zhuang Xuteng was stunned for a moment when he heard this number. Originally, the amount of his commission was 80,000, but because he wanted to drag Brother Dao along, he lied and claimed that everyone would share 40,000 equally. If there is a double bonus, the total amount is 160,000, not 160,000 for each person.

Understand, this includes the hush fee of "not to reveal that Brother Dao failed the test", so the bonus is actually tripled. Lucy did show a lot of sincerity. As for whether she apologized or not, it wasn't that important. After all, the middleman's apology can never be seen, touched or heard, but the euros are real, and that's enough.

"Thank you Lucy for the reward!" Ge Gongdao laughed, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much more relaxed and lively. He took this opportunity to talk about how he was "almost bribed". Lucy was confused at first, but it took her a while to understand, and she immediately scratched her head and ears.

Why did the guy sent to test the concentration of Ge Gongdao act and act himself into it?

Is that person still alive? What is the current situation? This man is saved! Lucy originally wanted to ask in detail, but until she heard Brother Dao say that he had "sold" the man, she knew it was more likely to happen than not. Alas, the woman boasted that she was very good at disguise and acting, and had successfully carried out a fraud worth more than one million, so she would definitely be able to complete this small task. It's fine now, I guess my life is gone, and I won't have to work as a mercenary anymore.

The elimination of mercenaries is often fast and cruel, and only a few can survive - Lucy once again confirmed this theorem. However, she also knew at this time that she had misunderstood Ge Gongdao. It turned out that the matter was completely contrary to the report she heard. Ge Gongdao not only noticed the bribery, but also sold the tempter in turn! Brother Dao is qualified, but the woman who went to test is not qualified.

"There may be a lot of this kind of thing recently. Brother Dao, your identity is public. People in this city respect you and generally won't mess around. But people outside don't know. If you don't recruit well, they may cause trouble for you. You need it over there. Can you make arrangements?" Lucy continued to show her kindness.

"I've been saying hello to the mercenaries and middlemen from the outer city since I knew they were coming to cause trouble. Hey, even though I was punished, at least everyone in my family knows how to take precautions. It's okay, no special arrangements are needed. The main target of outsiders is you middlemen. As long as nothing happens to you, you can attract firepower to us."

Lucy tapped Ge Gongdao with her index finger and said: "You are too bad. Okay, you go back first, I will stay... Naike, what else do you want to say?"

Zhuang Xuteng put down his hand, tilted his head towards Meteor and winked.

As a human spirit, Lucy immediately understood what Zhuang Xuteng meant: she didn't want Meteor to be present. He clearly knew that Meteor was her intelligence officer, but he still made this request, which meant that he did not tell Brother Dao about Meteor's identity, so he had to make the scene correct and take care of Brother Dao's IQ and mood. So Lucy said: "Meteor, don't spend the money you get. Come see me again at this time tomorrow. Now go back and rest!"

Meteor hummed, a little angry at Naike for driving her away, and immediately after leaving Lucy's office, she went around to the next door, which was Lucy's lounge, and hid inside. She couldn't go home without Nike or Lucy to escort her, and she also had to listen to what Nike had to say.

Zhuang Xuteng directly relayed the words of the man who called himself Palovich, but might be Carter Ross, to Lucy. Because he didn't know the meaning of this message, Zhuang Xuteng didn't change a word. He not only imitated the person's tone, but also showed his body posture at the time.

"There are no scars on Carter Rose's face, but the height, body shape, and some habitual words of the man are completely consistent with Carter Rose. The possibility of disguise cannot be ruled out. Maybe the scars are fake, or maybe the Carter Ross that people thought before is Rose's face is fake." Lucy said to Zhuang Xuteng, "He said he wanted to stop? He can't believe it completely, but he can't believe it either."

Zhuang Xuteng remained silent, waiting for Lucy to say the next thing.

"Whether Carter Ross is dead or alive has no impact on the entire plan. As long as the intelligence network is disconnected, the operation can begin." Lucy said: "You are all mercenaries I trust, and the next operations will also require your strength. , now it’s time to tell you the action plan.”

Ge Gongdao rubbed his hands and said, "It's finally time." Zhuang Xuteng didn't say anything, he just waited for the next step.

"There were two stages of layout before, and the operation you just conducted belongs to the third stage. In addition to the three of you, there are four groups of mercenaries operating under the command of three other middlemen. You will turn the enemy into blind and deaf people. Others stopped their enemies’ mouths, tied their hands, and cut off their feet.”

Zhuang Xuteng nodded, and then said: "The goal of the entire operation is not to kill the opponent, but to frame the blame on them."

"Yes!" Lucy nodded and said: "Actually, it has always been a clear sign: we will blame them, and they will blame us. As a local middleman in Peicheng, he is obviously more suitable to carry the Gardener Organization than outsiders. Blame the blame. Naike, what’s the key?”

Test me again, it’s not over, right? Zhuang Xuteng sighed and said: "The PCPD has the final say who takes the blame in the end. It doesn't care who takes the blame, as long as someone takes the blame. This matter remains unresolved because the PCPD needs to weigh who can give it greater benefits. But it can rise Not many guys have such stupid ideas, let me guess, PCPD Acting Chief Brewer Pace?"

"The best score in target practice is 10.9, and you already have over 10.2." Lucy clapped her hands and said, "Brewer Pace is very ambitious, but at the same time very cautious, and has always hidden his ambition. We investigated for a long time before we found out Understand the secret behind the PCPD’s series of inactions. Generally speaking, Acting Chief Pace’s attitude is neutral and biased towards local forces.”

Zhuang Xuteng understood. It’s obvious that someone around Acting Director Pace is leaning towards external forces, or he was caught and had to cooperate with external forces, or he is very arrogant and thinks that the middleman can kill both sides and he can bring them all together? There are many possibilities here, which is troublesome just thinking about it. And not only thinking, but also investigation, analysis and action. The middleman must establish a favorable balance in a complex environment where multiple forces are pulling and interacting with various possibilities. Zhuang Xuteng pressed his temples, feeling that mercenaries were more interesting.

"The key to the operation is whether we can get Acting Director Pace to express his attitude and support us without any worries. To this end, we have prepared a gift for him and hope he can accept it; we must also kill other people who may give gifts. , saving him the difficulty of choice.”

Ge Gongdao nodded and said: "Give him a proposal that is hard to refuse! I understand this. Lucy, what should we do next?"

"The location given by Palovic makes me very curious. How about you investigate it for me? Find out what's inside and bring it back to me. The commission fee is on a sliding scale. The minimum is the remuneration for the investigation that matches your worth. That’s five thousand euros per person per day. On top of that, 10% of the value of the things you get back is yours.”

Zhuang Xuteng thought this task sounded good, but Ge Gongdao waved his hand and said, "This task is boring. Is there anything else? The two of us want a challenging task so that we can exercise our skills. Lucy, we The target at this stage is Master, you can find any errand boy to do the work of reconnaissance and retrieval."

Lucy giggled and said: "You like challenges, don't you? That's fine too. This is Jamil Cannings, Pace's deputy, senior inspector and third-level detective. He was beaten by Pace when he was first-level detective. A middleman named You Don’t Need to Know Who was tricked in the city. It seems that he has always held a grudge and currently firmly supports the use of outsiders to cleanse the old forces."

"Kill him?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"No, we are not a killer group!" Lucy shook her head vigorously and said, "His wife works in the court and has a low position, but she has a father who is a chief judge and is also a lifelong member of Parliament. She is a famous and powerful person. Cannings' ability to get back up after being cheated has a lot to do with him. But the combination of forces is beautiful but not necessarily sweet. This Cannings has a lover, and they often date. I need you to get it Proof that they’re together.”

Ge Gongdao was still not satisfied and said: "Find a paparazzi and give each of them a few hundred yuan. Those guys can take photos for you in their free time other than following celebrities. What's the point? Challenge?"

"His lover is a manager of the business development department of the Peicheng branch of Today Group. There are currently no photos that can escape from her hands alive. Of course, compared to ordinary PCPDs, Cannings is also quite capable of fighting. Don't worry , he is definitely not as good as a riot strike unit raider, so I believe he can’t beat you—but that’s not necessarily the case for her.”

"It's very challenging." Zhuang Xuteng held his head in his hands. Waves of headaches made him feel like he was back in 403, suffering mental attacks all over again.

"This task is interesting, and we are very interested - just tell us how much it will cost!"
