"So, this is the reason why you carried thousands of living corpses across half the city, and all the living people who dared to block the way turned into corpses and then resuscitated, so that the whole city did not dare to go out?"

A large area of building ruins, rubble and rubble is the main theme of the block, full of broken steel bars and charred building materials, among the ruins, only one room-sized area is still clean and tidy, although it is also open-air, and the surrounding walls have collapsed, but at least the ground is relatively flat, and there is no construction waste.

A dining table is placed there, a group of people sit around the table, the food on the table has long been removed, there is no way, this kind of environment is dusty as soon as the wind blows, it is really not suitable for dining, but the wine glass in front of everyone is still full, even if it is open and the environment is bad, it does not affect the drinking and fun, well, for fun.

A few people dressed as bar waiters stood up straight around the table, these people were just members of the black market, not as thoroughly transformed as traders, and they couldn't perfectly control their emotions, so although their service was very professional, their stiff movements and weird expressions all revealed their current mood.

It's really terrible.

It's not that they're afraid of danger, but in fact, although these people will die, they all have spare electronic brains, and after death, they will be transferred into a completely artificial body, and they will become like traders, which is not a complete death. The problem is that even if people are no longer afraid of death, when they think of the invisible places around, there are thousands of mutilated corpses that can walk and move, it is not bad if they don't go crazy on the spot, of course, the mood can't be good, the problem is that the poor guys still have to support the service of their superiors, which is difficult for these young people.

"I guess it won't be long before the city falls into a crisis of faith. Mia sneered and said, "Brainless exhibitionist, you really dare to do it, for the people, the battle on our side, the city hall and the military can still cover up the past with lies, but you living corpses travel around the city, I'm afraid you can't hide it, I hope that after the world view collapses, those citizens can rebuild their faith as soon as possible." ”

"It's better than some mage who almost stoned himself to death. Miridy glanced at the mountain elf and sneered, "Moreover, did the meteorite just now smash your brain into a problem, an idiot with a flat chest, you would actually say such stupid things, you underestimate the regime's ability to control public opinion, I bet, not to mention that it's just a wave of the undead, even if I open the entrance to the land of the dead here and let the waters of the Styx wash the city, tomorrow they can make up the most reasonable argument for the people to believe." ”

"You can't open it. ”

The corners of Miridy's mouth twitched, she really couldn't open it, just like it was very difficult for Shuer to release the magic here, Miridi couldn't summon the power of the underworld in this world, and it was already the limit to be able to erect a bone wall, like the entrance to the Styx, which was very exaggerated when she heard it, of course she couldn't release it.

"Okay, you two don't have to argue, the results are actually pretty good now. Shuer tapped his glass lightly to regain everyone's attention, "At least for a long time, those in power don't dare to act rashly, of course, even if they want to do something, they don't have enough strength now, so they can only endure it." ”

In fact, when he first arrived, he asked to keep a low profile, because he needed time to understand the surrounding environment, and as his contact with Sky City gradually deepened, and after grasping the current situation of the city and the distribution of power, he knew that hiding his identity was no longer so important.

Therefore, from the moment he let the rescued people leave without any precautions, Shul no longer planned to hide his identity, and Miridy and Mia also understood his thoughts, so they would cause such a high-profile large-scale tragedy.

The reason is simple, the appearance of several strangers in this absolutely closed environment is as obvious as the silver moon in the starry sky, and hiding the identity is simply a joke. Even if there are hundreds of thousands of people living in the city, it is impossible for the shadow chasers who are strangers to blend in, and they will soon be discovered by a certain force and coerced by it, in this case, it is better to completely disclose their existence in order to win more possibilities, the question is......

"Can't you be a little more tactful?" Looking at Delia who was still in a state of despair, Shuer smiled bitterly and sighed, although the little girl was smart and cunning, she was still a child after all, and her endurance was far inferior to that of an adult, like the black market president who sat opposite Shuer, who had now regained his composure, and was looking at the shadow chasers thoughtfully, as if he didn't know about the resurrection of the dead. Well, it is estimated that he is only using a spare body now, and his body is full of artificial organs, and if he uses the original body, it is estimated that it is impossible to be so calm.

"With such a big deal going on, how does Mr. Shul plan to end it?" After pondering for a while, the president let out a long sigh, "I can't rule out that you still have stronger means that you haven't used, strong enough to destroy Sky City, but I think this is definitely not your goal, so how do you plan to end this war?"

"It's up to Your Excellency the President. Shuer patted Delia's head beside him and put on a formulaic smile, "War is never an end, just one of the means to achieve the end, after the war is over, it is naturally a matter of negotiation and negotiation." However, after all, we have just been at war, and it is always a little awkward for us to negotiate on our own, so we can only ask the elders to convey our desire for peace on our behalf. ”

"Oh?" the president frowned, "Mr. Shull, have you forgotten that we are a black market, a force that opposes the town hall and the military, and I can't do anything about the news you can't convey." ”

"Heh, Your Excellency is really joking. Shuer squinted his eyes and gently tapped his thigh, and said slowly, "As long as there are controlled legal goods, there will inevitably be a black market, and this truth will not be an exception in any world." However, if the black market wants to operate normally, it is not enough to rely on underground forces, well, if it is an environment where the official control ability is too poor, it may be possible to rely only on the underground forces, but once the official control ability reaches a certain level, then the black market will inevitably have official forces involved. ”

"Judging from the current situation of the black market in your city, there are not weak armed forces, there are large quantities of traded goods, and even artificial organs can be transformed, hehe, can it be done to this extent, saying that there is no support from official forces, does Your Excellency the President think it is convincing?"

"In my opinion, the situation in your city is actually not too complicated, the city hall is acquiescing to the existence of the black market, and it will also facilitate the black market to a certain extent, I think the black market has a lot of inventory, in fact, it is smuggled out of the warehouse of the city hall, heh, sure enough, it means that at least half of the high-level members of the city hall are involved, and it is natural for His Excellency the chairman to lead this line. ”

"As for the military, tsk, I'm afraid I've been competing with the city hall for the right to speak in the city, hmm, can you ask me, the city hall should have an armed force that can compete with the military, right?"

"Well, there is. The chairman did not hesitate, and nodded directly, "The battle armor special combat team in the city hall is equipped with the most advanced personal battle armor, although the scale is similar to the military's hoplites, but the combat effectiveness is much stronger. ”

"The formation and maintenance of this force also has a part of the credit of the black market. ”

The president was silent.

"That's right, the purpose of the military is to compete for the right to speak, not to destroy cities or take over power, so the best way is to attack the power of the special combat team, and the way is to eradicate the supporters of the special combat team, that is, the black market. I think it's strange that most of the black market is just for money, so how could they choose to clash with the military, presumably this is also to help the city hall deter the military who are about to move. ”

"Heh, sometimes helping allies is actually helping yourself. If it were not for the military taking the lead in breaking the tacit understanding between the parties, we would not have chosen conflict. The president shook his head with a smile, "Mr. Shull looks young, but his vision is quite sophisticated, are all the people in your world like this?"

"Praise the Lord for giving me eyes to see through the truth, and praise the Lord for giving me a cool head. Shure drew a circle on his chest and said with a smile, "To be qualified to step into other worlds to exchange cultures, you always need some reliance. ”

"Well, that's a good idea. The president looked around, not knowing whether he was talking about destructive power or intelligence, "Okay, maybe I can connect you and the town hall and express your desire for peace, but we're on the black market." ”

To put it bluntly, everything on the black market can become a commodity, including intermediaries between two forces. In the same way, since it is a commodity, it must be paid, and the black market merchant has always been synonymous with excessive wealth in the sky city, and it is impossible to do anything that is not beneficial.

"Our advance payment should be enough. Shuer smiled and pointed to the ruins around him, "After this battle, although the military personnel can be replenished quickly, there can be a lot of losses in weapons and equipment, plus the mechanical beasts outside are watching all the time, I think for a long time, they don't have the heart to provoke the black market anymore, hehe, it is estimated that the military high-level is now having a headache How to make up for such a big loss." ”

The bloated president closed his eyes and sat motionless in his chair, like a mountain of motionless meat, and Shul did not urge, but took a small sip of the red wine provided by the bar with a playful smile. Hmm, well, he quickly put down the glass, the red wine is surprisingly unpleasant, it is simply spiritual pollution, but considering the living conditions of human beings in this world, it is already rare to be able to make red wine, as for the taste?

"Okay, but the advance payment is only enough for the black market to come forward. The president suddenly opened his eyes, "I am not responsible for facilitating talks, let alone facilitating deals in negotiations." ”

"Huh?" Shul smiled strangely, "Interesting answer. ”
