XXIV. Greed Inducements

Mayor Krett held a banquet in the residential area, took out all the stored food to treat the civilians, very clever, when does it not cost money?

Dong Dingqi and Coke stood in front of me, and the former said, "My lord, we will go with you." ”

It must have been Mai Zong who ordered them to go to the ruins, they are veteran demon test subjects, after the Blood City, Mai Zong must have strengthened them again, plus plenty of divine sword bullets and ether grenades, indeed, I can use some powerful helpers.

Sosa said, "Godfather, I'm going too." Narlei immediately said, "Me too." ”

I said, "Sousa can, Narre can't." ”

Narre's face turned blue in an instant.

I smiled and said, "Just kidding, the two of you stay, in case there is another large-scale mutation, you will command and clear it." ”

Narre turned from sorrow to joy, but I felt inexplicably sad, as if Narre had yellow hairs growing on his head, and Sosa looked unusually weak and helpless, and me? is a simple and cowardly bitter master.

But when I think about it, there is a little excitement. Ah, the whirlpool of love, with its power to devour all things, makes all who fall into it deeply attracted and unable to escape, obsessed with the pain and pleasure in it. Cold blood, young children, tangled friendships, deviated loves, burning blood, strong baths, oh, am I also a confused passerby in this labyrinth of feelings?

Sosa shouted, "Godfather! Godfather! ”

I hurriedly wiped my saliva, but luckily it didn't, and I asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Sosa said, "It's nothing, it's just that you've been rubbing your face for a long time, and you seem to be very intoxicated." ”

I sighed softly: "Silly boy, alas, the so-called: wine is not intoxicating, people are drunk, how much can you comprehend the parting feelings, love-hate entanglements?" Come, rest with me, and I'll teach you little by little. ”

The highest level of the Minotaur is to become a yellow hair.

Narlei hurriedly said, "I thought you were about to go. ”

I said, "I'm tired, I need double comfort in my soul, Sosa, my godson, now is the time for you to do your filial piety, come, it only takes half an hour, and the treatment will be over......"

If Lamia had been there, I would have been struck and sober, but now, no one can stop me, and the madness of the madness of the madness of the web is like a runaway train, about to send me, Sousa and Narray together to the depths of the sea of desire, to achieve the great harmony of life that betrays morality.

Green Veil said, "The mad web didn't let you do that. ”

Don't quibble, for quibbling is a weakness of heart. Isn't it the web of madness that has allowed all kinds of evil thoughts to take root in my heart? Isn't it the crazy web that has led me astray from the path of life? Isn't it the crazy web that makes me think cranky about the handsome boy in front of me? Didn't Crazy Net want me to play a cute little game of bayonet with him?

She told me no, and I pretended not to hear.

Suddenly, I saw a tall man with a ponytail walking towards me, he was wearing a very stylish trench coat, he had dark skin, a resolute face, a pair of small eyes, thick eyebrows, he was Asian, he was carrying a shotgun on his back, two pistols in his waist, and I saw a small crossbow tied to his calf.

This man didn't look like a civilian in the settlement in any way, much less like a ranger.

I shouted, "There are assassins!" ”

The tall man raised his hand and said, "No, I'm an IBA businessman, my companion is also sick and quarantined, I want to ask her how she is doing." ”

She? Are they husband and wife?

I said, "It's all right, everybody is alive and well, and we've got a cure." ”

The panic must be stopped, so I can only hide it.

Wait, how can IBA merchants come and go in and out of our settlements at will? They are the licking dogs of the Era Empire.

I asked, "House, he... What's the matter with this man? ”

House hurriedly said: "My lord, there is nothing to be done about this, there is a black coffin whose food has not been delivered for a long time, and we can only barely survive by doing business with IBA...."

I immediately suspected that he had sold the iron ore privately and exchanged it for supplies from IBA, not only in exchange for food, but also in his own pockets, but I did not break it, surviving in this last day is also one of the wisdom of survival, otherwise I will only starve to death, not to mention that he is Michael's descendant, and besides, what he stole is not my embers.

The tall man said, "I can't feel her now, her scent is broken." ”

What do you mean? The smell is off?

I said, "What's your name?" ”

"Takahashi."

"Where's your girlfriend?"

Takahashi said, "Jesse. ”

I said, "How many merchants do you have?" ”

Takahashi said: "There were ten people in the caravan, but two of them got sick after arriving here, Jess and Yu Jie. ”

He doesn't care about Yu Jie, he only cares about Jessy, maybe that Yu Jie is his rival? No, no, it doesn't matter at all.

I said, "They're all fine, everybody is just asleep, now, out of the way, sir, please cooperate with us." ”

Takahashi stared at me and said, "You want to go to the ruins?" ”

I thought to myself and asked, "How do you know?" "Sousa and Narray listened to my unkind tone and immediately pointed their guns at Takahashi's head.

He was calm and said, "Don't be nervous, we are the bodyguards of the caravan, but we have another mission on our side, and we are also going to that ruin... Find someone. ”

I saw the mark on his chest and remembered the anecdote that the mask had told me, saying, "Are you a bounty hunter?" ”

Takahashi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Yes." ”

"You're hunting someone in the ruins?"

Takahashi said, "It was an extremely dangerous wanted criminal, and the IBA learned that the wanted criminal was in the ruins, got a map of the ruins, and commissioned us to kill the wanted criminal." ”

I said, "Who is Wanted?" ”

Takahashi said, "Sword Master, you just need to know that it is an extremely ferocious monster named Enkidu. ”

I've heard of a name in ancient Sumerian mythology that was a demigod on the same level as Gilgamesh.

I said, "This Enki is the ancient one?" ”

Takahashi said, "How is that possible? He just had a trendy name. ”

"Does this wanted criminal have anything to do with this illness?"

Takahashi said, "I've heard that there will be plagues and plagues near the area where Enkidu is located, and of course, I suspect it has something to do with him. ”

I said, "Time is pressing, let's get rid of this Enki at once, and you give me the map." ”

Takahashi: "No, this map can only be in my hands, and our people will go with you." ”

"How can I trust you?"

Takahashi said, "I heard that you are a great sword master, haven't you? Juggernaut is naturally fearless. ”

I stared at him for a few seconds and said, "I hate sycophants the most, so come with me." ”

Takahashi didn't have anything to say, saying that he used to live in San Francisco's Chinatown, and his name looked like Japanese, but he was actually Chinese.

I didn't understand the difference anyway and said, "How can you live that long?" Are you a Bloodline? ”

Takahashi: "I'm from the Moon Clan. ”

Ah, werewolves, but I've heard that werewolves don't live too long, and maybe werewolves don't live the same with werewolves.

I looked closely into his eyes, and indeed, on the eve of dawn, he had in his eyes a distinct beast, a wolf, and I remember dealing with werewolvesβ€”the hunter named Yongshui, and a girl named Tess, who had been nearly killed by a dark nightmare.

The other four were the bodyguards of the caravan, and they all had the characteristics of werewolves, and they could be seen from their expressions, which was full of wildness and threat. The merchant of the caravan was a cautious and respectful mortal, and when he saw me, he was full of gossip, and the people of the IBA were not bad at dealing with me, even if they were grass on the wall.

Takahashi called three people to accompany him, named Ollie, Onizuka, and Oi, leaving a werewolf to guard the goods. He also has a smartphone, which is unlocked with his pupils, and that map is in the phone.

Without further ado, we left the settlement and headed in the direction of the ruins, and on the way, I asked, "What exactly is the origin of the ruins?" ”

Takahashi said, "It looks like a medical center of the Charon company. ”

"Charon again? God, is there no problem with any projects in this company? ”

"It's true that IBA had a lot of dealings with Charon before the end of the world, and the company's purpose was to use 'phenomena beyond human comprehension' to make a profit," Takahashi said, and if the need arises, they could package a modern-day Jesus Christ." ”

I laughed, "That's true." ”

Dong Dingqi: "My lord, the information I got is that IBA has formed an alliance with the Epoch Empire, do you think they are credible?" ”

The woman named Onizuka said coldly: "We are not under the orders of the Era Empire, on the contrary, there are many people within the organization who are very dissatisfied with the Era Empire, they have kidnapped our merchants, seized our goods, and harbored the wanted criminals we want to hunt, but because of the hostages, we must cooperate with them. ”

I remembered the young mage named Osgood, who had asked me for help that if I could plot against the IBA from within, I might be able to launch a decapitation operation that would kill Yegri.

Cork asked, "Who pays the bounties for so many of your most wanted criminals in the IBA?" And to whom? ”

"Some wanted criminals are bounties from customers, and some wanted criminals are paid by the head of IBA," Takahashi said. ”

I said, "What if I entrust you with a bounty for Yegari's head?" Can you do it? ”

Takahashi whispered: "Actually, someone has already placed an order, but no one can execute it, and the current bounty is a staggering billion gold dollars." ”

I asked him who his employer was, and Takahashi said that it was jointly funded by many parties, but he could not disclose it and had no way of knowing.

I frowned and said, "What about me?" ”

Takahashi said, "It's about a billion gold dollars. ”

I don't know how much my net worth is, I guess it's only about 500 million gold dollars, but my head is so valuable? This is my iron-clad proof and glory that will make the demons clear in the last days....

Suddenly, I looked at Dong Dingqi and Coke, and saw that they were looking at me intently, and as soon as I turned my head, Takahashi, Onizuka, Ollie, and Oi were also staring at me. I shuddered and touched my throat.

I realized that I was in a very dangerous situation, much more dangerous than a beautiful, unclothed beauty walking among a group of top criminals.

I can see that the human soul is the color of greed.
