Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

The shelves of the "Super Hot Video Rental Store" are placed in a roundabout way, creating many blocked areas in the room. The door to the secret passage is located in the corner and cannot be directly seen from most angles of the room. The appearance of the door blends into the wall and hides the frame well. And it has infrared and motion detectors installed on the outside to ensure that the door cannot be opened from the inside as long as there is someone outside.

Zhuang Xuteng patted Ge Gongdao's arm, lowered his voice and told him not to make any move until he gave a clear instruction.

Brother Dao nodded. Although he didn't know what happened or what was about to happen, he completely trusted Zhuang Xuteng and put the shadow gun ring on his hand without making a move.

"I met an acquaintance, so we probably won't start a fight." Zhuang Xuteng took off the sunglasses that obscured his face, lowered the collar of his shirt to reveal his mouth, and waited for the secret door to open and the person inside to come out. He stood up, approached and said, "Mike, don't you want to meet your old friend?"

The person who walked out of the secret door continued to walk out. Although he tried hard to hide it, his body reaction of slight trembling and momentary pause could not escape the observation of the two super-computing martial artists. Zhuang Xuteng smiled and said: "You made your whole body black and your face was processed, but I am very sure that you are Mike Lebedev. I also saved your life, have you forgotten? Even if you don't want to mention it Then you have to think carefully about the future problem: I can recognize you, but others can't? Don't you want to know how you recognized you? "

The man with a dark face, thick lips, and splicing marks all over his face finally stopped and turned to look at Zhuang Xuteng. It could be seen from his trembling lips that he was hesitant, not sure whether he should say "You have the wrong person". After some ideological struggle, he sighed and said, "Go inside and talk. This is not the place."

The light above the secret door turned green. It was Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao's turn to go in, but now it was just a threesome. Enter the secret door, climb up one floor, make two turns through the narrow mezzanine wall, and then go down two floors to enter the hospital. After arriving here, you have to go to a double-door room for inspection. Explosives and dangerous weapons are not allowed into the ward, and various electronic devices with tracking, positioning and shooting recording functions must also be left behind. Some things that cannot be removed, such as implants and built-in imaging devices, need to be kept closed, otherwise "the alarm inside will sound."

Wherever you go, follow the rules of that place, as long as the rules are reasonable and do not have double standards. Ge Gongdao took off a lot of weapons from his body. He had been here several times and had experience. He even brought a sealed bag and put them all in one go. The only thing that can't be installed is the folding sword hidden in the back. This is a daily substitute for the Qingquan sword. When unfolded, it is two meters long. It is not an exaggeration to call it a lance.

Ge Gongdao's improvement in sword dance is to use weapons that are more suitable for him, and no longer deliberately pursues using clear springs to block and rebound ghost energy bullets. Nowadays, there are more and more kinetic energy weapons driven by chemical energy, and there are fewer and fewer usage scenarios where Qingquan can destroy shadow energy. The need to use the advantage of height and arm length to solve the danger as soon as possible is getting higher and higher.

In comparison, Zhuang Xuteng carried very few weapons, leaving only two shadow gun rings, two daggers, four shock bombs and six palm fires. (The armor-breaking hammer can be transformed into a pen and hidden on the body. It will never attract attention, so there is no need to hand it over.) Ge Gongdao took a look and understood that Zhuang Xuteng's current combat effectiveness was indeed higher than his own, and he had gradually gotten rid of the extra Weapon dependence.

"The heavy equipment is on the car, including shotguns, grenades, and two boxes of mines modified from palm fires and shock bombs..." Zhuang Xuteng noticed Ge Gongdao's expression, and didn't want him to misunderstand, so he said, "These are just the minimum amount I carry. , I can’t even take a shower with less than this.”

"Nonsense!" Ge Gongdao smiled, not believing this rhetoric. He tilted his head and looked at the "black man" next to him. Since Zhuang Xuteng pointed out the nature of his transformation, he tried hard to identify who it was.

"Don't bother. The doctor who performed the disguise surgery on him is very skilled. The parameters in the triangle area have changed a lot, and facial recognition is unlikely to be able to see it. His voice has also changed, and the color of his eyeballs is also different. I guess the scanned pupils No problem. Since we have done this, the palm prints and fingerprints must have been changed. Isn’t that right, Mike Lebedev?”

The black man nodded and showed them his palms. Judging from the hidden lines in his skin, he must have undergone a full-body skin transplant, as there was not a trace of his original skin left.

Ge Gongdao moved his gaze to his crotch. "Black" Mike felt uncomfortable and covered it with his hands, saying, "It's not like I have to replace all of it. Some of it is really unnecessary."

"It can't be black and white, right?"

"It can be dyed." Mike said awkwardly: "I don't choose the color, but I still want the original touch. How about we stop worrying about this issue and go in first."

The three of them entered the hospital through the second door, and Mike asked Zhuang Xuteng how he recognized him. Zhuang Xuteng did not answer immediately, but smiled softly and said, "This is a valuable technical question. Let's talk about Palovic first. I want to find him. Do you know where he is?"

"Then you asked the wrong person. I was not in Peicheng when the accident happened, and I just escaped. And I heard that Palovic escaped on his own, and his whereabouts are unknown since then. After that, I hid everywhere, not daring to show up. At the same time, I did the surgery bit by bit and completely changed my appearance. I don’t want to contact Palovich anymore, and he never came to me again. I think he should be dead now, and it’s best that he thinks so of me.”

"Where did you hear that Palovic slipped away?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.

"Hearsay. I still have some friends in the PCPD, and I can always get some news. What do you want to say, do you think I survived, so I am the mole? Naike, use your brain! You should understand the situation, I can only hide You have to join the riot squad to survive. Can I let the riot squad be detained?"

"Not necessarily. You can reach an agreement with the company and use intelligence support so that you don't have to hide. And full-body disfigurement surgery is not cheap, right? Where did you get the money?"

"I heard that you were able to evade Dingxin Magic's investigation team. I thought you were so smart... Use your brain! If I had colluded with the company, I should have done the surgery in the company's hospital instead of coming here! If it weren’t for the introduction and guarantee from my former colleagues, would I have found this place?”

Zhuang Xuteng didn't quite believe this statement. Full-body skin resurfacing, facial disfigurement, dental plastic surgery and a new identity that can be recognized through facial recognition are expensive. It's not a big deal for Zhuang Xuteng, but a person who was forced to leave the PCPD and join the riot squad might not be able to afford the money without additional income.

When Mike saw that Zhuang Xuteng did not continue what he said, with his ability as a police detective, he understood it after a little thought. "I didn't take any money from the company, but the money from the operation was indeed dirty. Palovic arranged for me to go out to work. When I heard about the accident in Peicheng, I put the activity funds in my pocket. Naike, I was also It’s so hard, I have to change my appearance..."

"This skin... Well, I get up at night to go to the toilet, and I am often frightened by it, thinking that the killer has touched me. Now I have a home and dare not go back, and there are roads that I can't walk on. Such a large-scale emergency skin grafting operation has caused I have some complications, and I have to take regular care." Mike shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I sometimes think: If I had known that those people would be so miserable and fail so quickly, I might as well have reported them!"

Three people were whispering at the entrance, and the doctor inside couldn't wait any longer. Dr. Jiang opened the door of the preparation room with his elbow, glared at the three people at the door, and said, "Do you want to make your appointment? Don't waste your time, okay? Who else? If you have nothing to do, don't hinder other patients here. , just go and do what you have to do!”

Zhuang Xuteng turned his head and asked him with a smile: "Are there any other appointments after us?"

"No comment," Dr. Jiang said.

"If there are other appointments, there is no need to reschedule them because of us. If we don't have enough time, we will come back next time. If there are no appointments, we have bought the time for the conversation now and will give it to you at twice the overtime rate, and Your employee. You can sit here with a stopwatch or just stay out of my sight while we talk."

"You look at the clock on the wall and decide your own time!" Dr. Jiang shook his head and turned back to the office. Behind him, the door slammed shut.

"Why is he so angry? Did you provoke him?" Zhuang Xuteng looked at Mike and smiled. "Okay, don't be so nervous. You heard it too. The two of us have an appointment to come here to solve some implant problems. We are not accepting a commission to arrest people. Mike, do you care about the news about the mercenary industry?"

Mike shook his head and asked, "Why should I care about that?"

"Okay, let me tell you the truth! Because of some things, I am now working alone, with an appearance fee of five million euros. I don't want a team that splits the accounts, but I do want to hire a few people to drive me, buy some breakfast, Handle various chores and the like. Are you interested? Work for me for three months. In addition to providing you with food and accommodation, I will teach you how to eliminate the loopholes in disguise."

"I thought you would just say... work for three months, including food and accommodation, and then teach me how to solve the problem? No, thank you, I think it is more dangerous to be with you." Mike shook his head and said: " Now I have food and shelter, I can survive, and..."

"You can definitely survive by hiding in a place like this and selling your brain power to public institutions. I believe that. But do you still want to go back? You have spent so much effort to change everything in your body, and you don't want to plug the last loophole. ?" Zhuang Xuteng stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You can think about it again. Brother Dao and I are going to talk to the punctual doctor. You can talk to me when we come out - or If you don’t look for it, it’s all up to you.”

Zhuang Xuteng's thoughts could not be hidden from Ge Gongdao. He didn't know this Mike Lebedev, but it was enough to know that this man was from the riot squad and was related to Palovich. "If you can disguise yourself well, even if you don't want to work at Nike, you can still come to work at Moat Company. I think your ability is enough. I am Ge Gongdao, the CEO of Moat Company."

"I know you, Brother Dao is the respectful name in the mercenary industry." Mike pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then said, "I have been hiding and don't know who to trust or what to do. I will think about this matter carefully."

Seeing that he still didn't agree immediately, Zhuang Xuteng just nodded, turned around and walked straight into Dr. Jiang's office. Ge Gongdao smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Mike, showing stronger affinity and leadership. "He is the most expensive mercenary in history, but now he is already very good." Ge Gongdao explained with a smile, and finally added: "If you want to spend money to ask him for help, the appearance fee is five million. Euros – think about that.”

I was very lucky to meet Mike Lebedev today, and it would be even more incredible luck if I could get clues about Palovic through him or find Palovic directly. Zhuang Xuteng knew very well that he had to operate carefully and never act too hastily. Once he showed any signs of being anxious to find Palovic, it would not escape Mike's eyes and arouse his suspicion.

The biggest difficulty in the task of finding Palovic is that outsiders don't know the structure, operation mode and whether there are safe houses and other information about the Gardener organization. There is a feeling that people have nowhere to say anything. If we can understand these inside stories and conduct in-depth and accurate analysis, we will be more likely to catch Palovic's traces.

Although Mike is the first (and only) clue encountered so far, the matter cannot be rushed. Today, let Mike know that he can be recognized and can get help from Nike. If this seed is buried, it will take root and sprout as long as the conditions are right, and eventually it will blossom and bear fruit.

Guang was so busy dealing with the unexpected luck that he almost delayed his visit to the hospital today. Zhuang Xuteng entered the doctor's office. He used the Eye of Shadow to observe in advance and confirmed that Dr. Jiang and his assistant had indeed installed the company's advanced implants. They were already in the same boat. Only then could they sit firmly in the chair. It's not about killing people and silencing them. Precisely because they are all in the same boat, Zhuang Xuteng can not take it personally when Dr. Jiang shows arrogance.

"I have rules here: I only provide medical treatment and do not resolve conflicts." Dr. Jiang rubbed his hands with disinfectant and said forcefully: "Don't talk here between patients, and don't ask what others are doing. I think you are This is your first time here, so I will tell you the rules. The big guy outside, he just accumulated a yellow card from me. If there is another time, and the two yellow cards turn into red cards, I will not provide him with medical treatment again. Serve."

"What kind of behavior is a red card?"

"Assault on medical staff, attacks on other patients, leaking medical confidentiality, anything that I would consider a red card."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said: "This is a good rule. I respect, accept and abide by it. However, the punishment of stopping medical services is a bit too light. Don't you consider hiring mercenaries to deal with the guy who got the red card? Killing chickens to scare monkeys is always useful. And I happen to know some of the more powerful mercenaries in this field."

"Are you talking about yourself?" Dr. Jiang shook his head and said, "There is no red card yet. Even if there is, you are too expensive."
