Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

In addition to discussing how to deal with Dingxin Magic in the future, Zhuang Xuteng also wanted to ask how the investigation of Lucy went.

"Clueless" is the most accurate summary of the investigation. The two sisters Ge Gongdao and Nightingale Yanque still found nothing after many searches. Lucy hasn't been acting out of the ordinary lately. She met some friends in the industry, organized a few commissions, and talked to Brewer Pace. If anyone could threaten Lucy, Mayor Brewer Pace might be a suspect.

"If it's Brewer Pace, it can only be said that Lucy is getting old, her methods are no longer good, and it's time to retire from the middleman business." Gogongdao said three "yes" on his face, as if he wanted to give Lucy a career Career comes to an end. He then shook his head and contradicted himself. "No, it's too impossible! Supporting Brewer Pace and gaining benefits from the position of mayor is a joint action of all middlemen. Everyone has his handle, and together they can definitely bring him down, so There is no possibility of being blackmailed back.”

So now there are two possibilities: Lucy is indeed fine, or the three of them can't find out. If the second possibility is extended, considering that Nightingale and Rock Bird had conflicts with Lucy... Zhuang Xuteng made a guess: Lucy's pressure may come from the two sisters.

"Brother Dao, I have to gradually retire from the mercenary industry. Within half a year at most, I have to be at least semi-retired. I have to first disband the team with Nightingale and Yanque and return to working alone. What do you think of this? What do you think, any suggestions?”

"Okay, I think it's okay. It's very common for mercenaries to form a team and break up a team. As long as they get together and disperse easily, there won't be any psychological burden. The two of them have long since grown up and have seen the darkness of life. In fact, they are more mature than you. You used your superb work ability to bring them into the mercenary industry, and they have been in the mercenary industry for so long, which is enough. Our master has never taken us on a mission. "

"Haha, speaking of our master... is there any news about our master recently?"

"No news is the best news, which means he doesn't need to be saved. You are still young, and your fighting power is a deterrent, so you can't take the path of master's golden basin. Raise the price and gradually take on less work. , the excuses are all ready: the maintenance pressure of implants is relatively high, and frequent work will reduce the life span.”

"Okay, let's do this." Zhuang Xuteng nodded, then looked around and said, "Brother Dao, we have to start looking for the return ship. If we continue like this, we will soon enter the sea..."

"Yes! I forgot about this!" Ge Gongdao quickly got up and while observing the river, he searched the shore to see if there was any car returning.

The shipping traffic in Peihe has long lost its former prosperity, and they finally waited for the cargo ship coming in the opposite direction. The boat was moving slowly, and no other boats were passing it along the way. No matter how anxious the two of them were, they could only spend the night on the boat, and only saw the shadow of Peicheng Pier again in the early morning of the next day. When the two people jumped onto the pier, the rising sun just crossed the river embankment and shone slantly on their faces. The golden light brought a little warmth and drove away the shadows around the two of them. Perhaps this was a blessing from the world to them.

Now that we have decided to break up, we should do this sooner rather than later. After returning to Peicheng, Zhuang Xuteng sent messages to Nightingale and Yanque non-stop, asking them to come to the music restaurant and saying that he had important matters to discuss with them.

Zhuang Xuteng arrived at the restaurant earlier and watched the sisters walk in. The two people looked a little nervous. After entering the door, they looked left and right, as if they were afraid of an ambush. Regardless of whether they really had something going on in their hearts, Zhuang Xuteng had postponed their conflict with Lucy and given them enough time. He's not a nanny, so he can't take care of everything.

"Sit." Zhuang Xuteng chose a seat in the corner, which was far away from every window and half blocked by the bar. It was a seat that all mercenaries liked, but if you want to always be able to sit here, it involves giving up your seat to whom. , it depends on your status in the mercenary world.

"I called you here suddenly because something happened recently. I have to make some decisions. I can't delay it any longer." Zhuang Xuteng smiled and wanted to give them a chance, so he asked, "Have you met anyone recently?" Troublesome thing? Solve it as much as possible, then you will feel relaxed!"

Nightingale shook her head, and Yanque slowed down for a moment and shook her head too. "Naike, we are all fine. The question is, how are you? I heard that you met with someone from Dingxin Magic Creation yesterday?"

"It can't be called a meeting. It should be said to be a unilateral reprimand and assignment of tasks." Seeing that they didn't want to talk about the problems they encountered, Zhuang Xuteng felt that he was being kind and said, "I did encounter trouble and was targeted by Dingxin Magic. Working for them has become overwhelming. There is no need for my troubles to continue, so I have to quit the team and go back to working alone. Alas, there is no other way to this matter."

Nightingale frowned, and Yanque glanced at her sister first, and then said to Zhuang Xuteng: "We cooperate very well, don't we? You need intelligence support to get those security systems, and we also need your ability to act. "

"I'm in trouble now, and for the next period of time, I have to work for Dingxin Magic, and the mercenaries have to be put aside. I don't know how long this time will last, and I don't know if I can survive in the end." Zhuang Xuteng shook his head. He shook his head and said, "I've made up my mind, we have to take it apart."

"This news is a bit sudden." Nightingale held her forehead and closed her eyes tightly, her expression quite anxious. "Our business has been going very well recently. It's a pity to stop like this."

"We have made no less money, and we have not encountered danger during the mission, but we cannot think that things will continue like this forever. Mayor Brewer Pace has issued a warning that the situation of one death and one house is indeed too scary. What follows? There are no such lucrative jobs anymore, especially the gang bosses who are still alive, and most of them have fled Peicheng and gone to other places to enjoy themselves.”

Yanque pursed her lips and thought for a while, then asked: "If...if we need help, can we come to you?"

"Of course, as long as I am not captured by Dingxin Magic to do hard labor. You two are still Lucy's mercenaries. Even if you decide to go out alone, you will still be my and Brother Dao's partners and comrades. We will never be able to Fellow travelers.”

Seeing that there was no way back, Nightingale could only accept the reality. She sighed and said, "Oh, what a pity, the good times are coming to an end. Naike, shall we share the debt?"

"Which accounts? The income from each mission is divided into three equal parts and credited directly to the account... Oh, you mean the ones to be sold?" Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said: "Two ways: First, let's draw lots and follow the order. Each person can take one piece to his own home; the other way is, after selling it, all three pieces will be divided directly. But you have to think clearly, now is not a good time to cash out, and there is still a risk of not being able to sell the price. "

"Let's split it up. Let's find a way to sell it slowly." Nightingale said.

The three of them separated the large trophies obtained from the gang leader's house and stored them in several places. If they wanted to separate them, they would have to go everywhere to sort them out, which was really time-consuming. Moreover, Zhuang Xuteng put forward a point: Dingxin Magic's investigation team has not left Peicheng yet, and they must still be closely monitoring these mercenaries. If the guys in the company guess that they are sharing the stolen goods and have greedy thoughts in their hearts, they may come to take advantage of them.

Under Yanque's persuasion, Nightingale finally changed her mind and agreed to sell it first and then divide the money. Through this incident, Zhuang Xuteng confirmed that the two sisters would definitely leave Lucy, and what he delayed would eventually happen. Zhuang Xuteng didn't think that was a good idea, but he could only respect others' choices and stop trying to persuade them. But before they separated, Zhuang Xuteng gave the two sisters a thorough head massage to absorb the side effects, and told them: If they feel uncomfortable in the future, they can still come to him.

Yanque also wanted to have a breakup meal, but Zhuang Xuteng and Nightingale were not interested, so the three of them said goodbye in the corner of the music restaurant. After that, the two of them left directly, while Zhuang Xuteng went to the second floor to find Lucy. He still felt that Lucy's behavior was abnormal. Now that the Dingxin Demonic Creation matter had come to light and he had resumed his status as an independent mercenary, he should speak openly about some things.

"Ah? I'm being blackmailed? Why do you have such an idea?" Lucy covered her chest with her hands, leaned back slightly, and said in surprise: "You care about people, and you are an old woman like me. I am so touched!" "

"Stop talking and get down to business: haven't you been in trouble lately?"

"Oh, I understand, do you think Brewer Pace is a little too aggressive? In fact, I did ask him for something, and he thought he could repay all the favors. No, he was wrong. Do things for me plus give it to you. Being the middleman for Ding Xin Mo's creation, the two things combined don't amount to a return of favor - at most, it only allows me to force him to do less work."

"What's going on? Can I help?"

"The market environment of Peicheng has been affected by Dingxin Magic Chuang's interference, so I have to think of a way out." Lucy spread her hands and said, "I have made enough money, why don't I offend anyone to death?" , and began to arrange everyone's future life bit by bit. The people around me more or less know some things that cannot be said. I have to find a way to arrange them well, so as not to leave any trouble for me. In addition, there are also black sheep in the organization. I need to take care of it before I leave, and I’ll need your help then.”

"Wouldn't it be better to just tell me who he is? Could he be harder to kill than the gang elders?"

"No, killing is only secondary. The key lies in what he knows and whether he has a back-up plan. I have to remove all the traps that guy has planted before I can issue an attack order. Nike, don't worry, it's not so fast."

"Okay... I want to get these things done first, and then I can concentrate on Palovic." Zhuang Xuteng waved his hand and said: "I have now left the team and returned to working alone. Let me tell you One sound."

"So this is what you are talking about below! Okay, it's okay to go it alone. I've always felt that you gave them too much, which is very unfair to you. Well, how should I put it... I also reminded them, Don't lie on you and suck blood, they won't listen." Lucy thought for a while and said, "Since the team has been broken up, you have to be careful to prevent those two people from causing trouble."

"What trouble can there be? They are just intelligence officers, how can they turn the world upside down?"

"People are stupid when they are stupid. Well... the most common problem when breaking up a team in the past was distribution. The three of you always split it equally, so it should be fine in this regard. By the way, what do you do with the things you sell on behalf of others? "

"Continue to wait for the market, and then split the money after selling."

"Are they capable of opening the warehouse themselves and transporting the contents away?"

"It's theoretically possible. To put it bluntly, it's a warehouse with mechanical and electronic locks. It can always be opened as long as it takes time. What, do you think they will steal from me? I should take the risk of being hacked by the company and take the goods Divide it?"

"It's possible, but there's no harm in taking precautions."

Most of the unsold items still sitting in the warehouse are jewelry, precious metals, artworks, collectibles, implants, imaging devices, financial certificates and other high-value items. The total value is almost enough for each of them to divide tens of millions. This is not a small amount and cannot be taken carelessly. So Zhuang Xuteng sent a message to Nightingale and Yanque, directly stating this meaning and asking for their opinions.

Although it is troublesome to go back and forth like this, and it seems that Zhuang Xuteng is wavering, but a large amount of money is involved, and no one can be too careful. In particular, Nightingale and Yanque are obviously going to leave Lucy, so Lucy must pay more attention to Zhuang Xuteng who is staying and not let his interests be damaged.

She heard about the method of drawing lots between three people. She found it funny and lamented why she hadn't met someone like Zhuang Xuteng earlier. He was indeed the best partner. And when she heard that Zhuang Xuteng dismantled the team not only because of pressure from Dingxin Magic, but also partly because of her, Lucy became even more interested in Zhuang Xuteng. She pointed out that the person who was blowing off the two sisters outside was probably the "black sheep", but there was no concrete evidence at the moment, so she could only stay put.

"It's best to delay this distribution for a month. Don't let the two of them leave so easily. If they really go there, how embarrassing will it be to meet again? If there is a conflict, what will you do? "

Zhuang Xuteng frowned and shook his head. "No. They know how I act. They have seen how a room after a room of people was defeated one by one. They will not think of being my enemy. Although it is impossible for me to know all their thoughts, if I even have this little confidence None, and I don’t have to work in this business anymore.”

"Well, very good, it seems that you are still in excellent condition. Remember this feeling, this state is very important when dealing with Parowi in the next few months." Lucy nodded, Then he said: "When are you going to divide the things? Do you need me to find an estimator for you?"

"No. My policy is very simple. Pick what you know, such as beautiful jewelry and precious metals. Sister Lucy, I need to use your warehouse, and I also need to ask you to find someone to help cover the transportation. .”

"Okay, that's no problem - I really want to know what you have collected from the gang elders. This curiosity has scratched me for a long time." Lucy joked, and then asked: "Any other needs in the near future? What did I do?"

"Look for Palovic to see when the people from Dingxin Magic will leave." Zhuang Xuteng said: "I am going to install some more implants and make preparations in all aspects. Alas, this guy Palovic can hide Where to go?"
