Invincible Chapter 1139
Like most violent violent organizations that take advantage of the chaotic situation, the organization Kevin King and the others belong to has a well-known name called the 'Freedom Revolutionary Army'.
In recent months, it has been too jumpy, and it did not hesitate to take over a sensational case of assassinating a high-ranking official and destroying its family. While successfully gaining fame, the organization was also targeted by the authorities.
The original raid on Kevin King was one of a series of targeted actions.
However, the top management of the organization obviously has brains, and they have already set up a maze while they are taking matters into their own hands, so the core strength has not suffered too much loss in this round of official blows.
Of course, the vigilance has increased a lot. Even the peripheral members of their own family are like guarding against thieves. They not only set up various obstacles to prevent being caught by the vine, but also send people to observe secretly to prevent being bribed by the government and become spies who infiltrate the inside. .
Therefore, Zhao Wenrui and the others were tricked a lot before they got involved with the real mission.
Including bright muscle scare, and magic polygraph quiz and so on.
After successfully passing the level, the four were taken from an abandoned house in the old city to the real stronghold.
The real stronghold is also an abandoned house. In the old city, there are still quite a few such wastes that have died, and whether they are haunted or sick. In the background of lack of profit, there are no demon-slayer heroes, and there are no renovations or leases. sell.
After all, the economy has been in recession for several years, the factories are underoperated, and the laborers can't survive in the city, so gradually a trend of going to the villages and towns to make a living has formed. There are few people in the house, and even the homeless in the past can live in a house in the slums , who is willing to invest money in the housing market?
Those who are really well-informed or have clever brains have all stockpiled food and living supplies. The generalization of magic allows food to be stored for a longer period of time, so that it will not become old food within three or two years.
On the other hand, once the war starts, a large number of battlefields will cause the magic power of the battlefield and the surrounding area to be disordered, and the recovery will be slow, which means that the cast spells of strengthening seeds will be costly and ineffective, so food shortages and shortages of living supplies will be inevitable . There is nothing wrong with hoarding grain.
Once this trend occurs, the price of food-based living materials will increase, and the cost of living will inevitably rise. This will further lead to urban depression. The bottom people who basically have no surplus money will naturally lack resistance and can only leave the city. Go to town for food.
Of course, there is another kind, that is to engage in dangerous business, such as adventurers, pioneers, or work as coolies in dangerous areas with higher prices, and there is illegal business that will be jailed or even hanged if caught.
some of,
There is a gray profession that has been criticized since ancient times but has always existed, called mercenaries.
Without honor, without loyalty, and doing work for money, they are called war hyenas.
In fact, being able to find out about the "war hyena" is already high-end. There are also low-end, even low-level mercenaries, who can be called temporary thugs, and they will guest robbers and bandits when they have the opportunity.
In the secret stronghold of the organization, the four of Zhao Wenrui met a group of mercenaries of this level.
There is no sense of discipline at all, some are laughing and chatting about nasty jokes, some are playing poker or gambling with dice, and some are playing iron for fitness...they look like they should be pastime after dinner , but Yiye Zhiqiu, just looking at these things shown, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of a bunch of miscellaneous cards this is.
But if you change the angle, it can be another scene. For example, these people are either big or thick, or have hideous faces. The atmosphere and aura created by such a group of people is quite bluffing. It will remind people of the saying that "ghosts and ghosts are afraid of evil people".
Although they had gone through a very complicated process before, the four were searched by two muscular brothers.
Naturally, Zhao Wenrui would not be disgusted by these two men who seemed to be serious, but in fact, the banter and desire in their eyes were ready to come out, and the saliva was about to flow out.
A very simple psychic power can fool these two guys who are also accustomed to picking up the soap from the little boy, and even disgust each other with the skinny feeling like touching a skeleton.
The other three didn't have a good time, especially Angela, whose appearance really made male animals feel protective.
Oliver was so angry that he couldn't hold it anymore. In the end, the middle-aged man who had been leading the way seemed to have some prestige. He coughed heavily, and the muscular brother stopped mopping. But before leading a group of people far away, he couldn't help laughing and laughing lewdly, but it was still exciting like adding fuel to the fire.
The middle-aged people also seem to realize that there are such filthy things in the organization, which seriously discredit the image of the organization in people's minds, so they explain: "For the sake of the revolutionary cause, the organization has to be more tolerant. Open one eye, close one eye. After all, we provide enough material to let people go through life and death, and at the same time pay attention to ascetic desires and pay attention to morality. It is also unrealistic to blindly mention awareness."
"Of course, this is all temporary. Once we seize power, even if we only occupy Marienburg, the superiority of the free and democratic system will quickly make our organization stronger. With finances, we can forcefully clean up the black sheep."
Zhao Wenrui said heartily: "The high school students in my hometown can speak better than you."
But they have their own reasons, and this matter was eventually exposed as an episode.
In the end, the four were taken to a basement with a relatively deep location.
Even Zhao Wenrui has a sense of knowledge. He really didn't expect that the old city, which had been reduced to a slum, would have facilities similar to dungeons.
Although it is now used to store items, the layout, iron gates, stone walls stained black by dried blood, and the faint smell of achievements in the moisture are all enough to prove its former function.
Although separated by iron bars, tarpaulins, and boxes, he still easily knew what was inside.
It can be said that they are all common combat and living resources, which is a matter of course.
As for the secret stronghold, it is natural to hoard some supplies, so as not to estimate the size of the number of people here through the daily flow of supplies, etc.
Furthermore, since it is a world where magic is commonly used, just like the fairy world, space magic tools are almost standard. Items with high value are naturally carried by important people.
The prison cell diagonally facing the stairs was transformed into an office room, where a man of five big and three thick men sat and warmed up by the fire. Without Kuguan temperament, he looks more like a guard, with a centipede-like scar on his face, passing through his eyes, so the eyes are blind without accident, and the flickering firelight outlines changing light and shadow on his face. Not like a kind person.
The guide seemed to know him very well, nodded and led the four of them inside. This person didn't even intend to stand up from the beginning to the end, and his vigilance seemed very low, and he was not conscientious enough.
But Zhao Wenrui knew that this guy was one of the strongest group of people in this secret stronghold.
Of course, being strong is also relative. Even being a horse boy for his servants is too low, so there is nothing to repeat.
The guides brought them here, mainly to collect equipment. Among them, magic guns and amulets are the highlights, and they are all of good quality.
The four of them clearly knew little about these mysterious artifacts, but the guide didn't take the opportunity to talk about how much the organization valued them, how hard-won these good goods were, and the political commissars were unqualified and received bad reviews.
Oliver, Ricard, and Angela all showed more concern about those kinds of alchemy potions. In fact, they were the most unreliable ones, with serious side effects, which made him suspect that the organization did not intend to let the four of them live for too long , regardless of whether the task can be completed.
Well, here comes the meat scene. What kind of mission is it that makes the organization so prudent and cruel?
After all, if it is really valuable, or crucial to the organization, then it should be a reliable and powerful person, not a peripheral like them.
And if they were used as cannon fodder, a cover, and a real mission team to operate secretly, there would be no need to make it so complicated, and a certain degree of investment had been made.
Furthermore, if they really cared about their lives, why were they given alchemy potions with such strong side effects as to reduce their lives by decades?
It is really a bit confusing to put the four of them in what position.
The manager in charge of introducing and distributing equipment to the four of them naturally had his own set of rhetoric:
"You don't need to be too nervous. Equipping you with these is mainly for the organization to cherish talents and be prepared. The main purpose of your mission this time is to investigate. If you really need to use violence, it will be done by professionals."
The person also said that the mission this time was in the neighboring city of Paian, where the organization's strength was limited, and the appearance of the combatants was too conspicuous, and the only few officers were not suitable for exposure, so the four of them Make faces.
Such rhetoric, if you don't go into it and think about it, it makes sense.
Zhao Wenrui naturally pretended to believe it, and made a statement on the spot.
So I quickly entered the next link, reading the secret document.
It turned out that their mission this time was to investigate the curator of the Paion Planetarium.
Paian is an emerging city, which has made a fortune due to convenient transportation, the iron ore with good quality and sufficient reserves discovered more than 20 years ago, and the nearby largest freshwater lake in the province.
Paion's domestic positioning is like Pittsburgh in the lighthouse country, focusing on smelting and steel blank production.
Because of the large enough production scale and the latest new technology, Paian has been known as the capital of steel since a few years ago.
In addition to this, another well-known label of Pion in the country and even overseas is the planetarium.
The planetarium built on Mount Zion has the largest and most advanced astronomical telescope in the country.
Because of its shape, the popular name of "Cannon Mountain" is widely known.
That's right, the astronomical telescopes of this era are still playing the trick of monocular telescopic tubes, so when stretched out, it looks like a planetary cannon.
Of course, people's astronomical telescopes are not for looking at the stars, but for looking at the outer planes, or even the astral world. They are super-large magic items, and they still have a certain style. It is reasonable to be different from the scientific and technological telescopes.
According to the secret document, Cannon Mountain still has some unknown secrets.
According to a reliable source, the authorities are studying a special weapon there, one that involves great powers outside the Prime Material Plane.
In this context, Jon Joyce, the curator of the planetarium, suddenly disappeared without warning.
It is said that the government has sent a high-level special agent team to search, and issued an instruction that nothing should be done, and that killing on the spot is allowed.
The organization has reason to believe that Jon Joyce played an important role in the special weapons research project and did not get along well with the authorities.
So the core task this time is to find out the specific content of the special weapon research project, find Jon Joyce, and persuade him to join the organization, including force persuasion.
The four of Zhao Wenrui and the others obtained relevant information from daily life, such as Jon Joyce's family.
Of course, it is impossible for official agents to let go of this part.
If the organization does not have any advantages, trying to find Joyce under the background of official attention and vigorous search is tantamount to preying on him, and the probability of success is really not high.
So does the organization have its own advantages?
some.
According to the information provided by the secret document, the person Joyce really cared about was his widowed sister-in-law.
The organization even suspected that his brother's son, who had been missing for more than ten years, was actually his.
Therefore, the task of the four of them is not to directly investigate Joyce, who is at the forefront, but his nephew Rick Joyce.
Rick was an older boy, although he was about the same age as them, but because he was young and weak, he couldn't go to school, so his cultural lessons were completed under the guidance of a tutor.
One has a stronger vision for society, and many cognitions are more idealistic. That's how Rick is, so he's the big kid.
According to these information prompts, it is indeed appropriate to choose the four of them as task personnel.
"Young is beautiful" Angela, her career makes her mature far beyond her superficial age. To put it bluntly, she is a scheming bitch who punctures little girls' fantasies. Playing the role of Rick's dream girl is probably a breeze.
Oliver is a "lively and healthy sunny guy". If sports is Rick's desire, then Oliver is definitely qualified for the role of both a teacher and a friend.
Ricard is a "future craftsman with ingenuity and ingenuity", and his hands-on ability is explosive. He is not only good at picking locks, he is also quite good at gadgets with delicate mechanisms such as the Rubik's Cube.
If Passive House Rick is a handicraft enthusiast, then he and Rickard should have a common language.
Finally, he plays Kevin King, who is ideal, passionate, and wants to change the world... If Rick is this kind of "promising" young man, then Kevin basically belongs to the same channel as him, a little flattering, with the help of his freedom What the reporter sees and hears, there are a lot of topics that hook Rick's appetite, make him admire, and make him yearn for it.
After reading the secret document, it was destroyed directly.
The steward handed the money bags containing the activity funds to the four people one by one.
Afterwards, the beating of righteous words:
1. Act in a low-key manner. Fake identities cannot withstand strict inspections and can only deal with general inspections.
2. Supervise each other. If someone betrays the plan, the other three are obliged to erase it.
3. Once arrested, the organization will not recognize its membership and will not rescue it.
Finally said: "The brothers and sisters of the organization save money and provide you with sufficient funds for activities. It is neither for you to spend indiscriminately, nor for you to be useless."
"I suggest that you prepare at least two sets of identities for yourself. The core is the secret investigator of the official special affairs class, and then prepare a set that is easy to contact according to the target situation."
As he spoke, he took out another pamphlet, expressing that this was his personal wish, and wishing them success in their actions and missions.
Zhao Wenrui took the booklet and simply flipped through it. It turned out that it contained some information summaries, which would help to act as a secret investigator. After all, if they only rely on guesswork to act as secret investigators, there are likely to be major omissions. It seems that this booklet has a certainty about secret investigators' behavioral style and even taboos.
Angela asked at this time: "Can you open the purse now?"
The steward nodded.
So Angela began to count the activity funds in public.
Seeing this, Oliver and Rickard also opened their bags to check, and their faces were overjoyed.
There are gold pounds, shillings, and pennies, totaling 10 gold pounds.
It is equivalent to the purchasing power of 20,000 Ruanmei coins in 2016. For the four young people, it is definitely a fortune. With their current monthly income and balance, it may take them more than three years to save such a sum of money.
But as an activity fund, it's actually not that much, and it's not even enough for them to buy the heart of acting as a decent person.
Zhao Wenrui said: "As far as I know, the dress style of secret investigators is actually an open secret. Except for them and the secret police, few people wear military or police uniforms, but without epaulettes, collar patches, and ornately decorated uniforms. The so-called Ex-military is just a poor excuse, after all, the military has a bad reputation among the people, especially now."
As the saying goes, the crimes of bandits are like a comb, and the crimes of soldiers are like a grate (a comb with fine teeth can pull out lice). The army of this era is between the modern army and the ancient army. It still has many bad habits and is hated and feared by the people.
Secret investigators or secret police actually know the military and police's reputation among the people. They use this "open camouflage" mode to meet the requirements of their bosses in casual clothes and enjoy the deterrence brought by public office. force. If you really want to investigate the case, you will change to other outfits.
As for the soldiers of their own country, their reputation is particularly bad now, because in recent years, whether it is local wars with neighboring countries or repression operations in colonies, they have been repeatedly defeated and have no bright spots. A waste that only bullies the people of its own country will naturally have a worse reputation.
The meaning of what Zhao Wenrui said is also very obvious. Since he wants to play the role of a secret investigator, he must be qualified in uniform.
Wearing this skin and pretending to be low-key is in line with the personality of a general secret investigator. Compared with showing a fake secret investigator certificate when being made difficult, this kind of pretending to be low-key is actually more difficult to be interrogated.
Of course, when you really get in touch with Rick Joyce, you need to change your outfit and personality.
After Zhao Wenrui made a statement, he noticed an interesting little detail.
After the steward listened to his words, he looked at the guide intentionally or unintentionally, that is, the middle-aged man pushing a cart and selling snacks in the northern square.
And the middle-aged man combined with a blink that closed his eyes for a little longer than half a second, and nodded imperceptibly.
So the steward asked Zhao Wenrui and the others to go to the opera house at 8 o'clock the next morning to find Bob, the prop master, and told them the secret code for the conversation.
This contact has almost come to an end.
The guide said that he would arrange for them to stay overnight tonight. The four of them could take this opportunity to familiarize themselves with the mission-related information, prepare their respective roles, and discuss and draw up a rough plan. Take the train tomorrow afternoon, and you will be able to reach Paion in the evening.
The four of them had no objection to this arrangement, and bid farewell to the steward politely. Just after coming from the dungeon to the surface room, they heard the siren of 'beep beep'.
This is a small gimmick played by the organization, which not only achieves the purpose of warning, but also expresses the purpose of "do not welcome people with good things to watch" to the people around them.
The police are notorious in this country in this era, not only because of the lack of a civilized law enforcement attitude, bad words and evil deeds, and too many gangsters who make excuses for their own use, but most importantly because it has become an industry trend to disregard human lives.
From top to bottom, the police station is playing the trick of 'making big things into small things'. The bodies found in the river are said to be drowned, those with trauma are said to have been bitten to death by wild animals, and those with strangle marks on the neck are said to have committed suicide and hanged themselves. If the cause of death is obvious, it is said to be weird and harmful.
In short, unless it is committed in the street in broad daylight, there is basically no murder.
This also further promotes the rampant gangs and crimes.
Therefore, when the police whistle is sounded, the police who hate ghosts are handling the case, and few people will risk being framed and beaten for the sake of watching the excitement.
The four of Zhao Wenrui, as peripherals, didn't know that the organization's secret stronghold had such a showy operation, but even if they mistakenly thought it was really a policeman, it didn't prevent them from understanding a concept-enemy attack!
