Chapter 63: Acting President
The conference room, which used to be packed at every meeting, is now only a handful of people, and at this time, Duanmulin, as the acting president of the Dongmu Society, did not choose to sit in the main seat, but still sat at the conference table with her back to the window, and across from her sat the cannon and the other three executors.
Zhou Jialiang and Qianyu pushed the door in, and found that everyone inside looked serious, but the atmosphere in the conference room has always been like this, and Zhou Jialiang didn't care. He and Qianyu quietly found two places to sit next to Duanmulin, and called up the notebook and pen from the bracelet.
"Now that everyone is here, I'll show you something first." Duanmulin turned on the projection of the conference room, which showed a photo taken through the surveillance probe, the environment in the photo was a dilapidated street in a wild area during the day, and there were actually a lot of people on the street, but they all looked ragged, it was estimated that they were all scattered, and among them there were two relatively neatly dressed people who stood out from the crowd, that was a man in a black trench coat and another man in a white martial arts suit, and the two were walking together in the crowd.
"Isn't that Shi Zhen and the Kashiwagi Spring of the Far Eastern Society?" Cannon blurted out, and then he asked, "Where did this picture come from?" It doesn't feel like a place near our guild. ”
"This is a photo from an anonymous message I just received, and through the cracking of the sender's location, it should be in the wild area near the Hata Society." Duanmulin switched the projection screen to the map of "Zone of Disillusionment", and enlarged the surrounding area of one of the permanent points of the Hetian Society above, so that some relevant real-life pictures of that area appeared, the barren feeling of yellow sand in the eyes, coupled with the ruins of the surrounding buildings, this environment is exactly the same as the one in the photo.
"There are two permanent points in the Hetian Society, although the first permanent point is the main point, but the area of the wild area under control is far less than the second permanent point, and the place I am showing you now is the wild area controlled by their second permanent point." Duanmulin compared the photos with those pictures on the map, and said: "Because of the large area and complex terrain, many scattered people often gather here, and it can be said that it has a small scale until now." ”
"It doesn't matter who sent the message, since you already know where Shi Zhen is hiding now, then send someone to bring him back and ask what was going on at that time!" The cannon looked excited.
"That's right, kill Boss Chen and escape, you must not tolerate such a guild scum!" The other three executors chimed in.
Hearing this, Zhou Jialiang finally couldn't bear it, he changed his previous calmness, and suddenly took the case: "The matter hasn't been investigated yet, why do you say that Shi Zhen is the murderer!?" ”
"Why? Just based on the video of him killing Boss Chen, it has already been made public to all passers-by, is it still necessary to investigate!? ”
"That is, don't think that just because you are the god of thunder, you can speak disrespectfully to us elders, when we helped Boss Chen fight the country, you were still lying in your mother's arms drinking milk!"
"Do you have to say it again!?" Zhou Jialiang's face flushed.
"Alas, okay, okay, my family has something to say." The cannon persuaded on the side.
"Enough!" Duanmulin slapped the table and stood up suddenly, "I didn't let you come here to quarrel!" ”
As soon as the acting president spoke, the venue immediately fell silent, and everyone honestly sat back in their seats.
At this moment, Duanmulin had tears in her eyes, her vermilion lips trembled slightly, she never flinched in the face of the pressure brought by internal and external troubles, as a woman, she was shouldering too much, he hoped that Shi Zhen would come back more than once, and even every time he was asleep, he was the figure of the other party......
Zhou Jialiang told her about the puppet people, which also made her even more denied Shi Zhen's killing of Boss Chen, but in the eyes of outsiders, her attitude of appeasing traitors is really incredible, so many people have different views on her, and some even suspect that she and Shi Zhen are in the same group at all, and want to usurp the throne by killing Boss Chen.
At that time, when the acting president was elected, Duanmulin actually didn't want to be competent in order to avoid suspicion, but with the strong support of the main guild leaders such as Cannon, Zhou Jialiang, and Qianyu, he reluctantly carried this banner. The pressure of public opinion almost overwhelmed her, and the idea of stepping down appeared more than once, but then she finally figured out one thing: since she was determined to clear Shi Zhen's name, she must first stand at the top of the guild's power, otherwise she could only be depressed in those gossips that slandered herself and slandered Shi Zhen!
Duanmulin calmed down and asked, "So, who of you here is willing to go?" Bring Shi Zhen back. ”
Everyone knows that the scattered people in "Disillusionment Zone" are exiles with extremely bad morals, and since they are not accepted by any guild, most of them are very extreme-minded, and they hate the guild, especially those who execute the guild. Therefore, they often set up ambushes to attack the guild's material convoy to steal the supplies, and once they succeeded, sometimes they would even take hostages to blackmail the other guild. In short, there are deep grievances between the Sanren and the guild, and there are irreconcilable contradictions.
The place Duanmulin said just now is a black area where scattered people are rampant, and it is too late for ordinary guilds to hide, let alone take the initiative to find trouble. It's safer to set foot in the Black Zone than to go to the jungle to fight in the jungle, at least the monsters won't engage in intrigues.
After a silence, Zhou Jialiang suddenly raised his hand: "I'll go." ”
"I'll go too!" The cannon chimed in loudly.
"The cannon is fine, but Xiao Zhou, aren't you still looking for clues to the resurrection altar?" Duanmulin looked at Qianyu at the same time, "By the way, speaking of this, how did you investigate?" ”
"Well...... this" Qian Yu stood up.
At this time, Zhou Jialiang suddenly rushed in front of Qianyu: "There is an important information point repeatedly mentioned in "The Record of Destruction", which seems to be near the place just mentioned, maybe this is the reason why Shi Zhen appeared there. ”
"Huh?" Qian Yu looked at Zhou Jialiang with a veiled face.
"In that case, then you can go to the field to investigate, then this matter will be arranged for you and the cannon."
"But Sister Lin, I still want to bring someone with me."
"Bringing someone with you? Who to bring? ”
Zhou Jialiang looked at Qianyu beside him: "I want Qianyu to go with us." ”
"That's not going to work, do you know how dangerous it is for a little girl to go to that kind of place?" Duanmulin refused the request without hesitation.
As soon as she heard this, Qianyu didn't do it: "I'm not a little girl, I'm the chief assistant of Dongmu Society, with me, I can fully enhance the team's combat effectiveness, so I must go this time, I hope you must agree!" ”
