Chapter 3 The Fisherman

'Freedom Army'? !

Jason was taken aback.

As a 'postman', Jason had heard of the so-called 'Freedom Army'.

A group of forces that do not belong to any party, a group that is not a lone ranger, but a group formed just to leave the 'city that never sleeps'.

The rumored 'Freedom Army' is one of the seven urban legends of the 'City That Never Sleeps'.

That's right.

The 'city that never sleeps' also has urban legends.

Moreover, it is also the legend of the seven major cities.

One of them is the 'Freedom Army'.

The remaining six are: 'Treasure in District 13', 'Ghost that Haunts in District 15', 'Pirate Ship in District 22', 'Kitchen on Requirement', 'Devil in the Shadows' and 'The Vanishing 31 Area'.

Jason didn't pay much attention to these urban legends.

Because he has been in the three areas of 16, 17, and 18 for a long time, even if he leaves these three areas, it is a short-term delivery, and he will not stay in other areas for a long time.

So even if you want to explore, there is no way.

However, now the 'Freedom Army' has appeared.

That,

Are the rest of the urban legends true?

Jason thought.

His eyes were on the looming figure.

After hearing the shout of 'trader', this figure quickened his pace and finally appeared in front of the two of them.

He has a normal figure, a thin face, and high cheekbones. He looks mean, especially his eyes, which protrude like goldfish, and his hair is very short, but very long. And swaying from side to side, revealing the bald top of the head, and the top of the head is translucent, revealing the wriggling brain, making the opponent look like a stunted 'Frankenstein'.

Simply put, as long as it is a normal person, it will not look like this.

To say it is deformed is to praise.

But that's how the other party appeared.

Still in the attitude of a 'winner'.

Mysterious erosion!

Jason glanced at the other party and made a judgment in his heart.

The mysterious side is not a kind hall.

Mortals who want to contact the mysterious side will inevitably pay a price.

Some are the price of life.

Some are the price of half-death.

The former is unfortunate as well as fortunate.

At least it won't become worse than death like the latter.

However, the 'collaborator' in front of him is not one of the two.

This 'collaborator' should have made some kind of mistake in the ceremony, but it wasn't a big mistake. It was enough for the other party to survive extraordinary, but it paid a certain price.

"Is it an 'accidental' competition that made him the final winner?"

"still……"

"The arrangement of the 'big man'?"

Jason guessed.

On the surface, they backed away in horror, giving the stage to 'cooperators' and 'traders'.

"Where is the Freedom Army?"

The 'collaborator' asked sharply.

It's not pretending, but it's really full of malice.

It was a malicious intent to kill.

In fact, the other party did just that.

"In Area 31!"

'Trader' replied immediately.

Area 31?

The 'collaborator' was taken aback.

Jason also frowned secretly.

One of the seven urban legends of the 'City That Never Sleeps' is actually related to another urban legend?

This can't be fooling people, can it?

Jason thought so, and the 'collaborator' naturally thought so too.

"You play with me!"

The 'collaborator' roared and waved his hand.

A spider thread that had been lurking at the feet of the 'trader' jumped up like a snake, entwining the 'trader'.

Then, hang!

The 'trader' with his legs bound was hung upside down on the beams of a ruined building on Turtle Street.

The spider thread snaked upwards, wrapped around the neck of the 'trader', and began to tighten slowly.

The face of the 'trader' quickly turned purple.

After four or five seconds, the 'cooperator' let go of the 'trader'.

Hoo, hoo.

The 'trader' who was let go gasped heavily.

Breathing greedily, the 'Trader' waved his hands repeatedly.

"I didn't lie!"

"'Freedom Army' is really in Area 31!"

"and……"

Speaking of which, the 'trader' has a meal.

"And what?"

'Collaborator' asked.

At this time, the 'collaborators' somewhat believed that the 'Freedom Army' was in 'Area 31'.

A man does not gamble his life with an obvious lie.

Likewise, everyone is honest when faced with threats to their own lives.

Even, at this time, the 'cooperator' already knew what the 'trader' was going to say.

The other party knows where Area 31 is.

"I know where Area 31 is!"

The 'trader' answered as expected, making the corners of the 'collaborator''s mouth twitch.

"very good."

"Take me to Area 31."

"If I find it, I'll let you go."

The 'collaborator' promised.

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Facing a person who can even get rid of his subordinates at will, how can you make me trust him?"

'Trader' asked bluntly.

"They are the dark ones that some bastard planted beside me. I'll just find the right time to kill them. So, you don't need to worry. I've always kept my promise."

The 'collaborator' replied.

Dark child?

'Big man'!

Jason immediately gave the answer in his heart.

At the same time, secretly strange.

Why didn't the person hiding nearby, supposedly behind the 'trader', show up?

What are you waiting for?

still……

The current situation is not fatal to the 'trader'?

Maybe!

A little bit of both!

Jason held his hands up high, with a look of horror on his face, thinking to himself in his heart.

"The 'City That Never Sleeps' didn't keep its promise!"

"I need to be more direct..."

boom!

'Traders' want to bargain.

But before he could finish speaking, the 'collaborator' rushed to him and punched him in the face.

The voice stopped abruptly, and the 'Trader' was still swinging back and forth like a pendulum.

"You have no right to tell me this!"

"Tell me where is Area 31?"

The 'collaborator' said, another punch.

boom!

'Trader' shook even more.

However, the 'Trader' refused to let go.

"I am the only one who knows this news, and those people knew it before, but you killed them, and now only I know it, and you will never know it if you kill me."

"and……"

"Don't expect to lay another trap!"

"If the 'Freedom Army' was fooled once, they won't be fooled a second time!"

"We are the first and last batch of people to appear in front of you!"

After the 'trader' spit out the blood mixed with his teeth, he grinned an ugly smile.

"Not always."

The 'cooperator' started beating the 'trader'.

Fifteen minutes later, the 'Trader' was already dying.

But, just don't say it.

The 'collaborator' stopped.

However, this time, the 'cooperator' did not look at the 'trader', but looked around.

"Is that guy not here?"

The 'collaborator' asked.

"Heh, if Master 'Ji' is here, do you think we will lose?"

"He's going to deal with the guy behind you!"

"You have to be thankful that you have a strong partner, otherwise, you would be the one hanging here!"

'Trader' became dying, and his voice was intermittent.

And 'collaborators'?

Another punch, hitting the 'trader'.

boom.

The 'trader' swayed again, as if dying at any time.

The 'cooperator' just watched it until the breath of the 'trader' was getting weaker and weaker, and when he was really about to die, the 'cooperator' took out an injection the size of a little finger and stuck it in the 'trader'. on the 'neck.

Push it straight down.

hiss!

After the 'trader' took a breath, he opened his closed eyes again.

"This is a good thing before the 15th district. You can't die, at most disabled."

"Sign this and tell me everything."

"I spare your life."

The 'collaborator' said, and took out a piece of parchment.

contract? !

Jason recognized this thing at first sight, slightly surprised, and glanced at the 'collaborator' calmly.

The other party may have really been 'lucky' and obtained extraordinary power. Although there were some accidents during the period that made the other party look like this, but the other party really obtained extraordinary power, and the obtained extraordinary power Force must be systematic and complete.

More importantly, there is 'legacy'.

At least, Jason didn't know where he could get this kind of 'parchment' that seemed to have been preserved for a long time in the 'city that never sleeps'.

Of course, the parchment is real.

But what was written on it was false.

That's not a 'contract' at all.

It was a remnant page of a 'potion' formula.

Of course, for ordinary people, it is not clear at all.

It can only be the perception of the mystery above.

"what is this?"

The 'trader' looked at the parchment warily.

"Things like a contract can give you a chance to survive after telling the truth."

'Collaborator' said.

"Like the ability you used before?"

'Trader' asked.

"similar."

The 'collaborator' answered vaguely.

When the 'trader' looked greedy, the 'cooperator' had sarcasm in his eyes.

However, as the 'trader' signed the agreement, the 'cooperator' put away the ridicule just right.

"Area 31 is in..."

The 'trader' opened his mouth, his voice stretched unconsciously, and his voice became lower, as if he didn't want Jason to hear it, and the 'collaborator' who was listening unconsciously moved closer to the 'trader'.

Then--

puff!

A small dagger was inserted into the neck of the 'collaborator'.

Just when the 'trader' was about to turn the dagger and take off the head of the 'cooperator', the 'cooperator' kicked the 'trader' hard on the head.

boom!

This time, the 'trader' suffered an unprecedented blow.

Not only did he vomit blood from his mouth, but blood flowed from his nasal cavity, eye sockets, and ear holes.

Likewise, 'collaborators' have been hit hard.

Even with extraordinary power, the neck is also the key.

Especially after being pierced through the main artery, it should be a fountain of blood.

But the 'collaborator' just backed away clutching his neck.

Not a single bit of blood flowed out.

The 'trader' stared at the 'collaborator' with blurred eyes.

"Hey, just a little bit."

The dizzy 'trader' smirked.

The 'trader' at this moment has no timidity at all.

There is only a guile.

"Yeah, just a little bit."

"However, I didn't die, it should be you who died."

The 'collaborator' said coldly.

"yes?"

'Trader' asked back.

As soon as the face of the 'collaborator' changed, he subconsciously took out the parchment he was carrying in his arms and threw it out.

But as soon as his palm touched the parchment—

boom!

With a flash of fire, the 'collaborator' was blown away during the explosion.

"Hahaha!"

"Do you really think that if you master extraordinary power, you will be invincible?"

"Every year in the 'City That Never Sleeps', guys like you die the fastest—because you, who are no longer ordinary, not only lose the vigilance that ordinary people should have, but also have a half-knowledge of extraordinary power, and have It's just arrogance and ignorance."

'Trader' sneered again and again.

But soon, the 'trader' shut up.

Because, the 'collaborator' is not dead.

Not only did he not die, but he also stood up unsteadily.

Even if the whole body has become tattered, the scorched muscles hang from the skeleton, and the squirming internal organs are clearly visible, but the other party is really not dead.

It's just that he stood still and didn't move.

Those goldfish eyes stared at the 'trader. '

"Thank you for teaching me another lesson."

"However, I am."

"you?"

"What's the difference?"

The 'collaborator' sneered.

Just as the 'trader' was about to speak, he felt numbness in his hands, especially the fingertips that touched the parchment. At this time, he had already lost consciousness.

He tried to keep his eyes wide open.

I saw that his ten fingers had all turned black.

"poison?!"

'Trader' exclaimed.

The 'collaborator' sneered, but did not answer.

The answer is self-evident.

Then, the two sides fell into a strange silence.

Then, almost in no particular order, the two looked at Jason who was standing aside, who had not moved from the beginning to the end, with his hands raised high.

"Help me kill him!" X2

'Cooperator' and 'Trader' shouted in no particular order.

Then, the two looked at each other coldly and with murderous intent.

Jason?

Still standing still.

It seems that they haven't figured out the situation in front of them.

It's just that those eyes look left at the 'cooperator' and right at the 'trader'.

A greedy yet cautious look.

It seems to be thinking about which one to start with.

Completely is a good resident of the 'city that never sleeps'.

"Hey buddy, want to join the 'Freedom Army'?"

"Do you know that I also have a good collaborator who is a 'big shot'."

Once again, the 'cooperators' and 'traders' spoke in no particular order.

But this time, Jason was not silent.

With a sneer, he spoke.

"I've heard of the 'Freedom Army', but I don't know the specifics."

Jason first said to the' trader'.

Then, Jason looked at the 'collaborator' again.

"The person who can cooperate with you is naturally a big shot, but I don't know anything about this big shot."

"so……"

"Why don't you all talk about it, and then let me make a choice?"
