Chapter 21: Where to Go (Part II)
Walking through the streets, Bill was in a low mood.
He even went to the circus for a while, where the gray-haired and white-clawed lion performed a ring of fire under the control of an animal trainer, and people danced with ringed pythons to perform a Shekou escape.
There were only a few onlookers on the open-air stage, and he was so sad to see the keeper feeding the beast live animals, and he felt hungry too.
"I'm not even as good as the animals, at least someone cares if they eat or not. ”
Lunch at a casual restaurant is cheese white bread, marinated fish with potatoes and cabbage radishes as a side dish, and a glass of light beer.
Johnny's men find Bill before lunch is over, informing him that everything is ready and asking him to come over and 'inspect the goods'.
Bill followed, clutching his revolver.
He couldn't trust Johnny and the Brotherhood, the man was too vindictive, and if Johnny didn't keep his word, he would cut his wrist if necessary, using the shadow power enhanced by black blood.
They came to the edge of the Ghikronsi Pier, where there was a ship repair yard where the occasional man came in and out with suitcases, and it looked like Johnny owned the ship and took on the consignment.
Bypassing the shipyard, which was empty behind the shipyard and piling up rebar scrap, Johnny sat on a wooden box about half a meter long and waited, waiting for Bill to arrive.
"This is supposed to be the gathering place of the Brotherhood in Jicrancy. 」
"See you again, little ghost. ”
"Your new hairstyle is good, and the short hair suits you well. ”
Johnny smiled, patted the wooden box under his buttocks, took out a ticket from his arms, and motioned for Bill to come and pick it up, looking sincere.
"This ship sets sail at nine-o'clock tonight, and I've got a good place for you. ”
Instead of stepping forward directly, his eyes were glancing to the sides, and Bill was observing if Johnny had any other manpower.
Aside from the few repairmen standing behind Johnny, there was no one else around.
After making sure that there was no problem, he took two steps forward and finally got the ticket.
"Thank you for the ticket, and for the payment. ”
"What about the rest of the information?"
Johnny didn't lift his butt to hand over the wooden box and began to ask rhetorically.
Bill pointed to the brain.
"Tsk, little ghost, don't be too cunning and arrogant, how do I know if the information in your mind is true or false, what if you collude or hide it at will?"
"What's in it for me to cheat on my brotherhood?"
"The Brotherhood is all over the country, you can come to your door at any time, Johnny, what the hell are you worried about, have you forgotten my house number so quickly?"
"Still ......"
"You're just bluffing, the Brotherhood doesn't have anything to do with me, why do you know where I live, it's all lying to me?"
As soon as the words fell, several ship repairers instantly pulled out their weapons and pointed them at Bill, their faces full of anger.
Johnny stares at Bill's face, hoping to see a hint of timidity and retreat in his pale but hidden cruelty face, but Bill appears to be completely unshy about the threat.
He drew his pistol and pressed it against his temple.
"Hey! What are you doing!"
"You're crazy!?"
"How could it be possible to swallow the reward, I'd rather this thing get rid of it sooner!"
However, Bill told Johnny with practical actions that he had gone crazy for a long time, the information was in his head, the initiative was in his own hands, and the extra moves would inevitably lead to the failure of the deal.
Staring at Johnny, the scene was deadlocked, and they were all waiting for the other party to loosen their mouths and get their hands on the things first.
"Well, I'm going to know about Kurt first. ”
Johnny finally spoke.
He compromised again, waving his men to drop their weapons, and it would be even more difficult to send someone to infiltrate after the explosion in the Sivar mines.
And the man in front of him is decisive and ruthless, and he should have blown all those things away.
Actually, things don't have to be so troublesome, but Johnny has revenge, and he is very uncomfortable when Bill holds a gun to his head in the morning, and he has to find some trouble.
"You said that I will help you find Kurt's whereabouts, and you will pay for it in other rewards, in exchange for equal value. ”
"Greedy imp, really don't give an inch. ”
Johnny beckoned, and a worker handed Bill a file bag with the Barclays Consortium profile written on it.
"I heard that you rented a safe deposit box at Barclays Trust Bank, and now the branch of Jikrancy is closed, and the safe deposit box is missing. ”
"This is information about the Barclays consortium, including the relationships of the members of the Barclays family, the list of companies under the Barclays consortium, and even their weaknesses. ”
"That's enough, tell me, where is Kurt and how is he?"
Johnny stared at Bill, a serious impatience in his eyes.
"He's dead?"
"I think a few days before I entered the Sivar mines, he went to mine coal cores and died at the hands of managers and soldiers. ”
Bill puts down the revolver.
He had seen the Kurt file in Lieutenant Bam's room, covered with red firing mud, and they all fell victim to digging coal cores, turning into monsters.
Perhaps the monster that Kurt turned into was not dead, and was locked underground, becoming an experimental subject of the Royal Academy of Natural Sciences, but Kurt had already disappeared.
"yes, it's dead......"
Johnny kicked the wooden box in front of Bill, pretending to be an understatement, and turned over Kurt's business, but Bill could still hear that he was in a low mood and was in no mood to wrestle.
"Imp, tell the rest of the information, take your things and leave. ”
"The key is also inside, and this is the only set of keys in the world that can open it, so you can rest assured. ”
Bill opened the wooden box, and inside there was a tightly sealed iron box with a double iron lock, and the iron lock key was placed on the iron box as a groove.
The iron box was also engraved with a pattern similar to a magic circle, and he couldn't see what the reward was.
Johnny became a little absent-minded, not caring about Bill's movements at all, knocking on the iron box, which was solid and very heavy.
For some reason, when Bill stroked the iron box with his palm, something seemed to be responding inside, and the desire to break through the iron box became more and more intense.
"It shouldn't be a fake. 」
"This thing is really dangerous, I can feel it through the iron box, it wants to figure it out. 」
"It's sealed inside as if it's a living thing, won't it be suffocated?"
Retract your palms and thoughts, close the wooden box, and put the keychain in your pocket.
"Johnny, one more thing. ”
"What? The payment has been given to you, the ticket has been given to you, what more can you ask for?"
"Little ghost, don't get an inch!"
Johnny suddenly shouted, he was in an irritable mood, and at the moment he just wanted to get the information as soon as possible and go back to the top management to settle the account!
"It's too heavy for me to move. ”
Bill pointed to the wooden box, which he had to do, as it was his only chance to get his home address.
And it's also true that it can't be moved, and Johnny just kicked it over with the same strength, and with Bill's stature, it's hard to even move the iron box.
It is even more impossible for him to use the shadow circle in public, and even if Johnny's people have seen shadow witchcraft when they help him deal with the bandits, they can't show their full abilities.
"If you don't help, I'll just open it on the spot and take it away. ”
Bill pulls out the key and tries to open the iron box.
"Stop!"
"You arrogant, greedy, shameless little devil, you have no idea how dangerous it is!"
Johnny jumped back two steps in an instant, and even the repairman was terrified, his arm in front of him, for fear that the iron box would be opened and affect himself.
"Then you'll have to help me. ”
"Okay, okay, I got it, I'll find someone to help you get on the ship!"
Bill closes the crate, the key is withdrawn in his arms, and Johnny is relieved to see Bill stop moving.
"Johnny, I'm not talking about this kind of help, what did you do when you got it to Jikransi?"
"Since you have a means of transport, help me mail this thing home, preferably by door-to-door. ”
“...... Yes, but shipping contraband requires many layers of relationships and is expensive to postage. ”
Johnny frowned, cursed in his heart, and at the same time made a decision that he would never entrust this little ghost with anything in the future, even if he did have some extraordinary means.
"It's okay, I still have money. ”
"I'm going to watch you put it on the waybill and send it away, don't you know the address, and you've been threatening me with this. ”
Johnny didn't speak, he pulled out a waybill and a letter, and wrote Bill's home address and name on the waybill against what the letter said.
"Delivery address: 14 Garton Road, 207 Brittus West. 」
"Consignee: Williams Cliff. 」
After Johnny put the pay on the ship and watched the smuggling ship leave, Bill told the rest of the information.
"The results of the study on the use of coal cores in the Sivar mine are all in that report, but it does not deal with the dangers of coal mining. ”
"During the excavation process, dust is released around the coal core, which burrows into the skin and inhales into the body, causing mutations and loss of mind when touched. ”
"There have been many mutations and deaths of miners, and the government has been hiding the news and even trying to erase the traces of these miners working in the mines. ”
"Because they can't safely mine coal cores, but the development prospects of coal cores are huge, and as long as they are used rationally, the Norman country will surpass other countries in all its strengths and become hegemons." ”
"That's all the information. ”
After Bill finished speaking, there was silence in the shipyard, and after a while, Johnny questioned.
"According to you, if it's just dust and poison, they should have a lot of ways to protect the miners, how can they be helpless?"
"Did Kurt mutate?"
"It's a pity, that's the case. ”
"And only I can see the dust in the mine, and the research institute still doesn't know that the dust is the culprit of the mutation. ”
"So the dust and mutations are what you saw with your own eyes?"
"Hmm. ”
"Then why didn't you mutate?"
Johnny stared at Bill for fear of missing a hint of deception in his eyes.
Bill doesn't want to answer that question, that's usually the way it is, and when you tell the truth, there are people who question the truth of those words.
It's better to weave a lie to be more convincing.
"Johnny, you're asking too much. ”
"I was lucky to get out of the coal mine alive, and it has to do with my ability. ”
"Ability?
Johnny asked suddenly, his eyes full of eagerness, which was the most critical part of all the information.
"What am I capable of?"
"Didn't you ...... long ago"
......
"Wait!"
"Johnny doesn't know I know sorcery?"
"That is to say......"
......
"The one who helped me deal with the robbers is not Johnny and the Brotherhood!"
......
"Who's secretly helping me?"
!!
Thinking of this, Bill suddenly felt his hairs stand on end.
As if everything was premeditated, he was already in a bigger whirlpool, and no matter how many difficulties he solved, he couldn't escape.
