"It's November now, so you're the last modulated this year?" Dvoru asked faintly, stopping the current of the "sting".

"The third modulator was selected ten days ago, has just finished the concoction, and is said to be ready for the task soon. Major Has-Erdun replied with a sweat on his face, and every muscle in his body trembled involuntarily. "My concoction will start in half a month, Councillor. ”

"Where will you be assigned in the future?

The Major bowed his head deeply: "According to Lucifer's Lieutenant Deacon, I will join the Temple Cross of Thorns under your leadership, Your Excellency ......"

Dvoru gave him a surprised look, and then nodded for a long time: "If it succeeds." Don't forget, the failure rate of modulation is more than 80 percent. ”

"Of course, Senator, I have this awareness. Major Has-Erdun gritted his teeth, "Whether you succeed or not, you are the person I admire the most, the lonely golden lion of the Cross, as long as I have heard of your prestige......"

"Alright. The commissioner waved his hand, "Five minutes are up, so be it." I remember you, Has-Erdun, and I hope that one day we will fight side by side. ”

The black Volvo sedan started silently and drove south through the checkpoint, and the major saluted the departing car with an inexplicable glint in his eyes.

After driving more than ten kilometers, Dvoru entered China through the Erenhot national gate, and the commissioner with the EU passport and GTC senior inspector certificate was not subjected to any difficulty, even in China, a semi-GTC country where the quantum network is not complete, the GTC senior certificate is also a golden sign for the smooth flow of the country, China has always had a glorious tradition of admiring foreign countries, and today, when the tide of quantum networks is sweeping the world, the ambiguous attitude of the Chinese government towards GTC has been amplified at multiple levels in the local area, forming a flattery, Fear and respect coexisted, and even the customs guards saluted with great force, "Welcome to China, sir!"

"GTC membership is still very important. Dvoru muttered softly to himself, the Volvo S80 sedan was driving on a wide, smooth road, his fingers gently watching the rhythm on the steering wheel, as if waiting for something. Suddenly, the car phone rang, and a smile appeared on the corner of the commissioner's mouth, and the phone was connected.

"Your Excellency, I'm Mammon's communications officer, and the black Volkswagen sedan you ordered to track down has completed its satellite positioning, and the image has been sent to your personal terminal. By the way, China's quantum network hotspot construction is still very backward, and the East Asian core router that is being rebuilt cannot accept a large number of requests, so it is recommended that you use satellite dishes to access the network. A gentle female voice on the other end of the phone said respectfully.

"Roger. Dvoru tapped his temple, "You've run that far...... What's the good news?"

"The identity of the Orientals has never been determined, and we will contact Asmantis to continue the search together. The information of several other people has been extracted and sent as well. "It's certain that at least two of them are ghost warriors." ”

Dvoru's expression suddenly became a little strange, he frowned slightly, and a hint of confusion flashed in his blue eyes, "Polish...... It seems familiar, where have you seen it?"

"That's all you have requested, good luck, Councillor, Mammon is always there for you. "The call was interrupted. The 80 km/h sedan was silent, and Dworu's brow furrowed as he seemed to be trying to remember something, but he couldn't find a clue.

At this time, the car phone rang again, and the correspondent temporarily put his mind down and connected the phone. "Lion, you're attacking alone, that's not why I sent you to Japan. Was the damage to Asmontis severe?' was it internal?" said some old voice in standard French.

"Excluding internal reasons, there is no problem with the 'First World' and 'Freedom Shield' systems, and it is indeed a strong attack from the outside world. I'm following this lead. ...... Deacons elder. The blonde man stared out the window at the street trees that flew by.

"The enemy who can do that kind of thing is very dangerous, you have to be safe, lion. The old voice paused, and continued with some embarrassment: "I know you don't like people to disturb you, but Lucifer has to test the latest modulator anyway, this year's third modulator is said to be a very rare gene carrier, it only took a few days to discover combat power, Lucifer thinks he is very suitable to join the Cross of Thorns." ...... So, I asked him to go to China to stand by, and he should soon join you and test this junior in actual combat, lion, I'm sorry, this is an order, and it is also a request from me, an old man. ”

Dvoru was silent for a long time, "Well, if you ask, Lord Deacon. ”

"Very well, that's it, lion. ”

The call was dropped. “...... Junior?" the blonde man let out a soft breath.

At this time, in the county seat of Wuyuan County, Bayannur League, Inner Mongolia, Gu Tie followed the guide into an abandoned factory, and the mottled sign at the gate of the courtyard reads "Wuyuan County Tractor Manufacturing Factory", the old enterprises that had been glorious in the era of planned economy have been closed down for more than 70 years, and the huge factory area is still deserted, the railroad tracks are overgrown with wild grass, and the two-story factory building does not have a complete glass.

"How did you find this place?" Gu Tie couldn't help but whisper to Hu Bote.

"Intuition?" the scavenger smiled.

As Bot had said, every town had a hub for illegal goods, and it didn't take much effort for him to find out where the fabled black market was located. Eva and Terry stayed in the house to take care of the little white-faced George, and Half-faced Keith and Gu Tie followed the scavenger to buy equipment. The middle-aged man smoking a cigarette led them into the tractor factory, made a few detours, and entered an abandoned factory building, "This is it, see for yourself, collect dollars and euros." With a word, the leader turned and left.

The three of them gasped neatly. From rifles and submachine guns of the AK gun family to shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles of the "Needle" series, butter-rubbed and well-maintained weapons are neatly lined up on the shelves, and on the other side of the factory are all kinds of cars, trucks, and even a BMP series infantry fighting vehicle. “...... Is China's arms ban so lax?" Bot asked secretly.

"It turned my worldview upside down......" Chinese replied sluggishly.

Compared with the restaurants, inns and commissaries along the way, the service attitude of the underground black market can be called a civilized pacesetter, not only ignoring the buyer's situation, patiently explaining the characteristics of the weapons, but also delivering them to the home, a three-year warranty, to ensure the supply of ammunition, the only requirement is not to use these weapons within the scope of the Bayannur League, in case the police trace them here.

The three of them drove a ninety-fifty percent new Chery brand box car with a full load, for this kind of big buyer, the black market seller kindly made a seven-fold discount on the total price, and also gave a few exquisite daggers as gifts, and the half-faced Guise couldn't put it down and played with a single-edged saber of the Great Tsarist brand, "Mr. Tie, is China very chaotic?" The juggler couldn't help but ask.

"As far as I know, it seems to be quite peaceful. Gu Tie touched his nose, "The main reason is that our underworld is fighting to be principled and keep credibility, and generally does not make a fuss, and if the media can't spread it, the world will be peaceful." ”

The group returned to the hotel to pack up, and then drove the Chery van to check out and set off. Gu Tie originally intended to contact Xiao Liping and go back to Beijing to deal with the matter at hand first, but for some reason, there was a faint strange feeling in his heart, and his intuition told him that he could not enter the big city, and the danger was approaching step by step.

"What 'listener' didn't say anything, what the hell won't let me do, and I won't say clearly. The car turned off the national highway and drove east on the G7 highway, and Gu Tie, who was sitting in the second row, asked the clown Terry next to him.

Terry shook his head. Ever since he was instructed, the guy has been looking dazed and doesn't seem to have recovered. The Chinese were about to say something, but the clown suddenly sat up straight, and his eyes glared at the boss: "Aiwa, Aiwa!"

"What's wrong Terry?" Lori leaned out of the third row and grabbed the Joker's shoulders with concern.

"A piece of information. The Joker muttered, "The Chosen have just been raised. ”

"Really?...... I didn't expect ......" Eva was taken aback and frowned.

Gu Tie said confusedly: "What do you mean? I've been upgraded, don't you say that I'm the one I've been waiting for, what kind of mess......

Little Lori whispered, "That's right." Theoretically, the Chosen One will only appear once in a country, and six years ago the Chosen One in Poland appeared, and we lost our captain and partners as a result...... In short, once the Chosen One appears, the Ghost Branch of the country will be downsized, and we've always maintained a squad size of five. Later, you show up in Warsaw, something that has never happened before, the 'Prophet' identifies you as the most likely Chosen One, but at the same time, you have the lowest trust level, and you have too many secrets compared to the other Chosen One that the Ghost cannot fully trust you. ”

Gu Tie snapped his fingers: "I'll just say that you don't believe me." That's why you didn't tell me the information. ”

"Now I can tell you something. What you want to know most is the composition of the Red Brotherhood, isn't it?" said Eva lightly, "The composition of the Brotherhood is as follows: the supreme authority is the Round Table, which consists of a Speaker and a hundred members, the Templar Cross of Thorns is a violent body responsible for raids and corrections, and the seven divisions form the basic structure of the Brotherhood, which are:

Asmontis, responsible for network deployment and various pilot projects, based in Japan;

Belusebabu, responsible for the screening and hunting of the chosen ones, based in Romania;

Mamon, responsible for information collection and processing, the address of the headquarters is unknown;

Beria, whose work is currently unknown, is headquartered in Turkey;

Samael, who was responsible for large-scale armed operations and was based in Germany;

Leviathan, responsible for the deployment of the 'World' project, with an unknown address of its headquarters;

Lucifer, responsible for the cultivation of the Adept, with an unknown headquarters. -- That's about it. ”

"Wait. Gu Tie stretched out his hand, "You say, there is a department dedicated to the 'world'?"
