Chapter 18: Crazy Rubacher
Everyone wore the clothes they were used to wearing on weekdays, and the four members of the Support Division walked into Li Cao's office together.
He seems to have been temporarily transferred by Director Roberts because of the failure of the tactical shell activation this time (although it was a deliberate failure), and is seizing the time to adjust.
Although the tactical shell has not really been studied, it has to be said that it has reached the point where it can really be made into a "prototype".
This is something that even Director Roberts himself finds incredible. It often takes several years for a new technology to be conceived and finally realized, not to mention this tactical shell, an epoch-making weapon that "can float in mid-air and launch attacks freely", this kind of thing, whether it is suspension technology or operation technology, it takes more than ten or twenty years, and it is actually such a great progress in just a few months, even he himself finds it difficult to understand.
It's as if time has been sped up, condensing the time needed for development into just a few months.
So, although Roberts was sorry to call him away at this time, there was nothing he could do, because it really got to the point where someone had to start experimenting with this new weapon.
Although Hoo and Tio were a little reluctant to separate, they finally left obediently. After all, now she can't be a helper of the support department, either mentally or forcefully, but after the tactical shell is actually made, it will be different. If you can really exert the power you expected, then it has nothing to do with your age, and it shows a strong attack power.
For a better future, bear with us now! He Xu comforted himself like this.
Dudley glanced at the four of them, sighed weakly, and casually found a reason to leave.
"Ah, aren't you from the Support Division? So, is there anything you'd like to ask? ”
Li Cao still showed a fox-like expression. Lloyd felt sick to his stomach and threw out the rhetoric he had thought of on the road.
"Mr. Li Cao, I think we can talk openly and honestly. After all, we know very well what kind of company Black Moon is, and this kind of dumb riddle doesn't make sense to either of us. ”
"Okay~"
"Yes."
Li Cao's cheerful consent was also expected by Lloyd. Because, now the black moon, it shouldn't give up the help of the support department. And, although he doesn't want to admit it, Li Cao does have a long-term vision. It's certainly a way to refuse the support department here, but in this way, even if he can defeat Rubacher, he will be in the embarrassment of being guarded by the police.
Rubache has the backing of the Speaker, and it is a giant organization that has been entrenched in Crossbell for a long time, so the police are powerless. But the Black Moon is different, the Black Moon is a new, foreign force, although there are parliamentarians to support it, but because the speaker is an imperialist faction, the influence of the Republican faction is not superior. As long as Li Cao is not a reckless man who only cares about his immediate interests, he will not mess around.
Even if Li Cao really refused, it would definitely be a desire to get away with it, and at this time, Lloyd was ready to speak. But it's great that he agrees.
"Then, ask Lloyd. I'm sure I know everything. ”
Li Cao's smile made everyone shudder, it was obviously a smile, but it was always reminiscent of a knife blade. This is also a superhuman talent.
"First of all...... Qi Ya's identity, does Black Moon really not know? ”
"Well, yes. Speaking of which, the Black Auction you're doing really beautifully. It's a nice feeling to watch the fire from across the river. This little girl, we were only notified by the mysterious person. Who, when, and for what purpose, we don't know. In fact, we didn't even know it was a child until you rescued the little girl. ”
Li Cao's statement coincides with Lloyd's thinking. If Li Cao really knew that it was a child inside, he was afraid that the order given to Yin would not be "to confirm what was inside" but to "really guarantee that the auction item would be sent to auction", that is, Yin did not become his enemy, which shows that Li Cao did not know about it.
"Second question...... The Black Moon was attacked last night, right...... The real identity of the attacker...... Is it Lubacher? ”
"Oh? Your news is as good as ever. Yike got the news early enough, I didn't expect you to be so fast. Yes, I'm sure it's Rubacher. Not only Empire-made heavy machine guns, but also combat habits. The former can be disguised, but the latter is not so easy to change. On top of that, quite a few of them are familiar faces from the battles we have fought. ”
The categorical words came out of Li Cao's frivolous mouth, and they were unexpectedly stained with a bit of blood.
However, Randy was a little puzzled: "Listen to you, the enemy used a heavy machine gun, right?" Why, then, are there almost no bullet holes in the building? Obviously, the outer walls have been beaten like that, so there is no reason why the bullet will be bounced off the wall when it hits the wall, right? ”
"Hehe, there's nothing to hide either. Yesterday, a salesman came to the door. That's right, it's the salesman of the Carummen consortium, Dior. The man entered the door just in time for Rubacher's attack, so he blocked all the bullets with his whirlbag. Oh, I didn't mean to let Karumen carry the black cauldron, Dior-kun just protected the building. Those attackers who don't have long eyes, I solved them. ”
Li Cao smiled, knuckles crunched, and his bloody smile was full of disdain for Lu Bacher.
Did you sense the darkness in his heart? Tio couldn't help but shudder: "You...... Do you say, ...... them all?"
"Kill it~ Just kidding. It's just the extent that you can't get up again. After all, in that case, you can't keep your hand. ”
"That situation?"
Lloyd immediately noticed the point.
"yes. Those guys are also very strange to me, not to mention the use of heavy machine guns with one hand, and the combat effectiveness has increased several times. Really, how do you train? In just a few days, all of them have become fighting machines. ”
Did Rubacher's people become such monsters?
"It's a little weird, though...... This kind of action is too inefficient. Is Garcia in the attacking team? ”
Randy was surprised, for a hunter, even if he had an absolute advantage, he would still calculate carefully and reduce his losses. There is no reason to attack the opponent's lair so openly.
"Oh, Garcia isn't there. There were only about 10 people here. But I have a clue about this. Dio-kun mentioned that Rubache's main force went to the Karumon Consortium - well, maybe the Black Moon was just a passing...... Oh, it's really underestimated - but compared to that side, it's understandable to be underestimated. Over there, I guess it won't be solved by breaking my hands and feet......"
Li Cao's words made everyone's hearts chill, and it must be admitted that Karumen gave people the impression that he acted ruthlessly and showed no mercy. If he is hit by Lubacher, he will definitely be annihilated......
Damn it......
"So, Royd-kun, do you have any questions?"
"Well, the third question...... What is the Black Moon ready to do? ”
"Hehe, don't do it. Although for you, our line of work should be rewarded, but unfortunately, my approach is closer to making a fortune in silence. I won't do anything that doesn't have benefits. The situation now is that without my intervention, Rubacher will surely bring about his own destruction. At that time, I will take over everything Rubacher, live in his house, use his connections, go through his channels, use everything he has. This is my Li Cao's means of revenge. ”
Ellie's face sank, and to be honest, it would be fine if Black Moon said that there would be a conflict with force, but he said that Black Moon would continue to wait. Ellie didn't think that an organization that made "kill when you see the enemy" as its motto would be so soft. Then, there must be something that Li Cao was afraid of and made him dare not do it.
"Is that so...... So bothered. ”
Lloyd said that he was leaving, but unexpectedly, Li Cao actually stopped him.
"Wait. Officer Lloyd. Come and don't be rude, then, answer me a question too. ”
“…… What's the problem. ”
"Lord Wind...... I mean, what is he doing? ”
“…… He's hurt. at rest. ”
"yes, that's right. I understand. ”
The two sides did not hide it, and usually gave each other the answers they wanted.
Seeing the support department leave, Li Cao did not return to the office desk, but sat directly on the sofa used to entertain guests. I poured a cup of tea from the teapot that had already cooled down.
Liu stood silently behind him. The atmosphere of silence circulated between the two, and I don't know how long it took before Li Cao said silently: "Liu, I agreed to the weapon procurement plan proposed by Karumen before. Let's negotiate. The main targets are the Glaive and the Spiral Stick, as well as other weapons that we are good at at Black Moon, to be dealt with by you. ”
"Yes...... But is it okay to make a conclusion so quickly? Didn't you say yesterday that you should wait and see how it goes? ”
Li Cao smiled. Liu's thinking is not unreasonable, although Li Cao would prefer him to be clever, but cleverness often means disobedience, and will make too many unnecessary small actions to Li Cao's plan. In terms of the implementation of the plan, it is better for an honest person like Liu.
"Hehe, I said it a long time ago. The tide of battle is changing rapidly. You Tatsumi didn't come, don't you understand what this means? ”
"Forgive me for being stupid."
"Quite a simple reasoning. That man, who had been involved in danger countless times, would understand if he carefully read the assassination records of Uncrowned Wind that he never minded how tightly defended the enemy was, nor did he mind how skilled the martial artist the enemy had. What does this mean? ”
Liu thought for a moment, and then hesitated: "Explanation...... He's strong? ”
"That's right. Very strong. Strong outrageous. Let's put it this way. If he accepts the order to assassinate the Black Moon Elders, I'm afraid that no matter how we deploy our defenses, he can easily pass through and kill the Elders. So let me ask you, why would such a strong person be injured and hospitalized? ”
“……”
Liu didn't know, it should be said that it was because he didn't understand that he asked Li Cao.
"It's simple. It's a fake death tactic. Create a disguise that you are badly injured and unable to move to paralyze unknown enemies. He's already seen the big shady scene behind Cross Bell's back. Besides, he's going to kill that guy. ”
“……”
"So, Liu. I want you to strengthen our armaments right away. Whether he wins or loses, the next step is our battle. If we win, we'll take Rubacher's turf right away. In order to maintain balance, we are likely to be suppressed by the combined efforts of Karuman and the occult organization. If we lose, we have to face Rubacher and the shady behind it on our own. In any case, armaments must be strengthened. ”
"Yes, I see. So do you want to transfer someone back? ”
"No, no. It's not good to startle the snake. Our task now is to have the tail of the serpent, which can be broken at any time to keep the organization safe. Let them think that I, Li Cao, am an innocent and cute child -- it is much more pleasant to be underestimated than to be looked down upon. ”
“…… Be! Obey orders! ”
