Chapter 40: Blood Cross
Gu Yun didn't like ovens, so before Shen Yue and Bai Kite came, he prepared a charcoal stove.
He thinks that all the techniques in the world can be summed up in three points, and barbecue is no exception.
The first step is to start the carbon furnace.
The second step is to roast.
The third step is to taste.
As a result, a plate of fragrant baked products was successfully completed.
That's how the mother-in-law in the village taught him how to cook.
However, it didn't take long for the white kite to come to the door with a sad face.
"Gu Yun, Gu Yun! She doesn't buy baby corn for me! ā
However, this time, Shen Yue's reason for refusing her was not because she was too lazy to go, but because she hadn't finished her afternoon class, so she was called to a meeting.
The only one who can move Shen Yue is naturally the Foundation, even if the white kite is forced by the handheld game console, Shen Yue is not moved at all, and it is naturally very important to make Shen Yue show such an attitude.
"And she also told me that I might have to work overtime these days, IāI just want to eat small corn!"
Gu Yun saw that the white kite was pitiful, so he could only call Gu Tiantian and ask his sister to help the other party buy some small corn on the way back from school.
"What did you say she was going to?"
Since the stove has been started, naturally he can't give up halfway, Gu Yun screened out some rice grains and gathered them together, piled them up on the strainer, and at the same time sprinkled the necessary ingredients for barbecue such as chili powder and cumin powder on top one by one - in his hometown, baked rice is also a staple food that people often see in their lives.
"It seems to be about the CEO...... Huh? This one is delicious! ā
The white kite is not afraid of being hot, grabbing a small handful of golden rice grains, putting them in the palm of his hand and putting them into his mouth one by one, this full feeling is somewhat similar to that of small corn, but the bite is harder.
However, this is not a problem for the pigeons at all, and the raw rice grains are also in her diet.
"Oh, you're pretty knowledgeable."
This sentence really spoke to Gu Yun's heart - he had been in this world for so long, and the white kite was still the first taster who knew how to appreciate the essence of roasted rice grains, and he also grabbed a handful of it himself and chewed it with relish.
One man and one pigeon sat around the stove in the kitchen, and the crunchy sound attracted the white rabbit who was dozing in the living room.
The white rabbit also naturally joined the ranks of munching on roasted rice grains.
Look, it's normal to bake rice grains, but I don't understand why those people, including my sister, were always making a fuss before.
And just when one person, one pigeon and one rabbit were feasting, Shen Yue, who was on the other side of the city, was not so relaxed.
She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had been to the operations center of the branch, and like the design of the simulation training hall and the large library, the operations center also adopted holographic production technology, and the dimness in the room was mainly to make the picture outlined by the lines more obvious, and at this moment, the photo of the CEO was clearly presented in front of everyone's eyes.
In the photo is a handsome male.
This person is very affinity when he laughs, and Gu Yun can be said to be the other extreme, belonging to the kind of people who will inexplicably make people produce without seeing him or communicating with him.
However, the topic in the operation center was not at all affinity, not only Shen Yue, but also Chen Jiang, Ikeda Chaoye, Seventeen and Luo Xin attended the meeting, and the important employees of the branch who could and could not be named were all gathered together at the same time, and the speaker was not Shen Yue, who was the ace of X City, but a middle-aged man wearing a white coat and a majestic momentum.
"Eric Brando, who has recently become a key partner of the Foundation in Europe, is here to do whatever it takes to keep him safe."
The atmosphere in the room was a little depressing, and even Shen Yue, who was used to being lazy, didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the middle-aged people.
After all, this is her former instructor, and her unsmiling attitude has long been rooted in the hearts of every student, and his arrival means that even if Gu Yun's uncertainty is put aside, in order to protect Eric Brando, X City has dispatched two S-class employees, as well as a number of A-class employees.
For outstanding graduates such as Ikeda Asaya and Seventeen, it is conservatively estimated that they are at least between B and A grades.
This is enough to see how much attention the Foundation attaches to Geert Pharmaceutical.
"Bad news, according to the Americas Division, Eric Brando has been targeted and is highly likely to ambush him on this trip."
Then you just go back and don't come!
Shen Yue could only complain in her heart, she still didn't understand what Eric Brando came to City X for taking a huge risk, a city where birds don't.
And just as she was complaining, the content of the projector changed.
A cross, completely painted red, appeared in front of everyone, and next to the cross was marked with a corresponding mark - a blood cross.
Below these four words, there are more dense text notes.
"The Blood Cross is an extreme group of witchers in the Americas."
This is something that will be familiar to any of the employees who have a little knowledge of witchers.
In fact, the Witcher Guild of the Americas, to a large extent, was passed down from the European continent, and in the later development process, it reflected a huge difference - the witchers of the Americas did not stick to the rules, and combined a series of exorcism props with modern technology, if the first priority was to kill supernatural creatures, the witchers of the American continent were likely to be the most efficient soul killers in the world.
In many cases, witchers don't even need to be physically present, they only need to maneuver the machinery from a distance to deliver precise and lethal strikes to their targets.
"As you can see, the extremes of the Blood Cross are mainly manifested in the willingness to break all existing rules in order to hunt and kill the target, and at the same time, as long as they identify the target, they will be judged indiscriminately."
The biggest reason why this group is notorious in the country is that they don't care about the casualties of ordinary citizens, and they will not hesitate to involve civilians as long as they can eliminate their targets.
Their model of identifying targets is highly subjective and firmly adheres to the principle of finding guilt in doubt.
In other words, once a person is identified by them as a supernatural creature, it will not be further investigated, but directly eliminated, and in the process, there will be many cases of manslaughter.
Because of this, the Witcher Guilds in the Native Americas are reluctant to recognize the Blood Cross as a legitimate Witcher Guild.
"In this case, the target of the Blood Cross was Mr. Eric Brando, and he could be ambushed by the Blood Cross at any time after the private jet landed, so it was important that someone accompany him at all times to keep him safe...... And according to the results of my discussion with Chen Jiang - Shen Yue, you are undoubtedly the best candidate. ā
