Chapter Twenty-Eight: On the Eve of the War
"Why are you buying so many dried fish?" Ye Zi asked puzzled as he looked at Thirteen holding a large bag of instant dried fish.
"It's not for you. Thirteen glanced at her, "You think it's easy to bribe cats? If you don't honor these cats, grandparents, cats, and grandmothers, they won't help you work!"
Thirteen walked into the old town, tore up the dried fish and threw it on the ground, and the wild cats in all directions smelled the salty smell and immediately rushed up.
Although Ye Zi knew that Thirteen's Cat City Chronicle could give him the ability to communicate with cats, this was the first time she had seen him activate his ability with her own eyes, and she waited until Thirteen had fed all the wild cats before she slowly said, "You want to mobilize this group of wild cats to collect information everywhere for us?"
"Hmm. Thirteen picked up a snow-white kitten and said, "By the way, let them help me find Lin Xiangnan, that kid said that he would go to find his sister, and he hasn't come back for a day?"
"Now there are only two days left. Ye Zi looked at his watch, "Two o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow will be the time for Bai Murong to declare war on us." ”
"I know. Thirteen wiped his hands, "You can't put all the treasures on this group of cats, didn't Cao Zizheng go to adjust the monitoring? Maybe there will be some discoveries." ”
......
"Not much was found. Or even nothing. Cao Zizheng shook his head and pushed the computer to Thirteen and Ye Zi.
"Dongzhou City is too big, there are at least tens of thousands of surveillance cameras that can be called, and the information we need is hidden, and it is impossible to find out the location of the battlefield in such a short time. ”
"What about Chunjiang?" Ye Zi asked, "Thirteen, you launched the wild cats in the city, Cao Zizheng is facing the surveillance video, Lin Xiangnan doesn't know where to run, what did Chunjiang do?"
"Armed with voice recorders and notebooks, I went down the street looking for witnesses. Thirteen lit a cigarette, "and went to the intelligence dealer with a lot of bills." ”
"We need to find the location where Bai Murong will start the war in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, firstly, to reduce the damage of ordinary people and prevent them from being drawn into the war, and secondly, to ensure that the idlers can be dispersed to maximize the effect. Thirteen stretched out his index and middle fingers to hold the burning cigarette, "In this war, the fierce beast and the card ghost it created must be Bai Murong's soldiers and generals." ”
"How do you know?" Ye Zi asked, "Bai Murong is unilaterally declaring war. ”
"Just think about it with your head. Thirteen said, "The out-of-control change-type secret card master, if he doesn't appear sooner or later, he just picked this juncture and came out, and the card ghost that it has carefully cultivated, it is obviously cannon fodder!"
"Since Bai Murong dares to declare war by himself, it means that he is fully prepared. Ye Zi touched his chin, "Maybe the card ghosts cultivated are not only those under the outer Chinese academy, there may be batches of card ghosts in other places that are sleeping." ”
"That's what I thought, too. Thirteen nodded, "If this conjecture is true, it would be helpful to dispose of these ghosts in advance for our next actions." ”
"Lao Cao, do you have that kind of software, that is, you can enter a person's information and you can investigate the scope of his recent actions. ”
"Do you think I'm an immortal?" Cao Zizheng glanced back at Thirteen. "I can't do it, the software you said can at least be used by the serious crime team, and I don't have that ability. ”
"I was thinking that if I could bring Bai Murong's file out and look at the places he has been going to a lot recently, maybe I could get something fruitful. ”
"No need. I've got them all. Chunjiang suddenly pushed the door in, holding a voice recorder aloft as if showing off the loot.
"Is there a clue about Bai Murong?" Ye Zi asked impatiently.
"Nope. Unexpectedly, Chunjiang shook his head.
"And what did you bring back?" asked Thirteen Stronghold, angry in his heart.
"Confessions and records. Chunjiang picked up the water heater, brewed a cup of instant coffee, and said, "I have found a lot of secret card masters, but I still haven't found anything about Bai Murong, that guy is too cunning and has left almost no traces." ”
"Like a ghost. Thirteen said in a voice that only he could hear.
"And we know about the beast's information, so I changed the direction of my search with a wit. ”
"In what direction?" Ye Zi asked.
"Card ghost!" Chunjiang smiled proudly, and by the way, he took out a paper map from his pocket.
"Isn't this the map of Dongzhou City?" Cao Zizheng asked puzzled, getting down from the swivel chair.
"Look at the place circled with a red pen on it. Chunjiang held out his index finger and pointed at a few red circles on the map.
"Recently, not only the beasts, but also the card ghosts have appeared a lot more frequently, but we deliberately ignored or ignored them. "In addition to the vicinity of Dongwai University, there is also a high frequency of brand ghosts near North Station Park and Jinyuan Mall. ”
"That's true. Ye Zi nodded.
"Card ghosts are a rare thing, and there have been so many traces of card ghosts in those two places just now, so I have reason to believe that maybe it is also a secret place for cultivating card ghosts, just like the sewers of Dongwai University. ”
"This finding is really important. Thirteen said after a moment's silence.
"You know, card ghosts are a very difficult creature to control, they don't obey anyone's orders at all, they are just a bunch of monsters who know how to fight and destroy. Chunjiang said, "Now we can make a bold assumption, if the place just mentioned is really a warehouse where the card ghosts are stored, then the probability of Bai Murong starting a war nearby is also very high. ”
"I don't know much about Jinyuan Mall, but near the North Station Park, there is indeed a place where you can store brand ghosts. Cao Zizheng said.
"What's going on?" Ye Zi is not from Dongzhou City, and he doesn't know much about the geography here.
"The North Station Park was originally a train station, but later I heard that it was destroyed by an earthquake, and there are many abandoned bomb shelters around the park. Cao Zizheng closed his eyes and tried to recall, "When I was young, my parents didn't let me go into those air-raid shelters, saying that the road inside was like a maze, and ordinary people were dizzy when they went inside. ”
Cao Zizheng was talking eloquently, and everyone else was listening intently, and he was the only one in the group who was a local of Dongzhou, and only he knew about these things.
"I went there once when I was seven or eight years old, and it was very desolate, full of abandoned barricades and broken shacks, only a few old aunts who picked mushrooms and wild vegetables would go once or twice, and it was said that there were ghost planes, but I had never seen them. ”
"Later, after it was renovated into a park, those bomb shelters were not filled, so they were abandoned all abandonment, which is really a good place to store cards. Cao Zizheng brought all the rumors and situations in the North Station Park together.
"Clues are starting to surface. Thirteen said.
"Since the card ghosts are Bai Murong's important combat power, and he can't completely control these disobedient ghouls, the best way is to directly start a war nearby. Thirteen said, "Anyway, we still have 48 hours, so it's better to go to the North Station Park overnight tonight and strangle all the card ghosts in the cradle." ”
"Wonderful!" Ye Zi slapped the table, "Bai Murong should have prepared three places to declare war on card ghosts, if the war starts, the entire Dongzhou City will be connected at three points, and it will immediately fall into chaos." ”
"And you actually destroyed a den in advance, if we can destroy the den in North Station Park or Jinyuan Mall tonight, then there will only be one left on the battlefield?" Ye Zi continued.
"Without further ado, Lao Cao, you know the way, we will kill it tonight when the moon is dark and the wind is high. Thirteen said.
"Absolutely. Cao Zizheng nodded, "But what about Lin Xiangnan? Where did he go? Is he afraid of running away?" ”
"Probably not. "I don't think he's that kind of person." ”
"That's it!" Thirteen said, tonight we should go to the North Road Park to explore the road and see if it is a den for storing card ghosts, if so, we will destroy it directly, as for Lin Xiangnan, just hand it over to my cat army. ”
