"I hope you can bring me some good news."

The blacksmith looked expectant when he saw Axel's appearance.

"Of course, I brought the information back."

Axel smiled confidently, and he unzipped his fanny pack and reached inside to pull out the papers.

One second, two seconds, three seconds......

Axel's action of digging out things became faster and more intense, and the smile on his face gradually froze.

I saw him turn his waist bag over, shake it desperately, and pour out all the contents of it.

It's full of deadly weapons in the form of magic props, such as exploding rubber chickens, candy hard shells, expanded gum, tickle powder, and T-bombs......

The only thing that is not that "network" material.

Rubbing his eyes, still no.

The blacksmith's face turned cold all of a sudden, and Axel broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes full of disbelief.

"It's impossible, I got it, it's inside!"

Axel was very sure that he had put the information in his bag, and now that the zipper was good, the bag was not broken, and he had not been blocked along the way, how could it be missing?

No matter how much he wanted to break his head, he couldn't think of a disembodied alien who had stolen the information from him.

"I need an explanation."

The blacksmith said in a cold tone, and Axel felt a chill that made his hairs stand on end.

He recounted his actions word by word, including how to recruit Yuri and the others, how to calculate the gangster foursome as cover, and how to get rid of the FBI guards and escape after getting the information.

With that, Axel sneaked a glance at the blacksmith, who stared at him with a blank face.

"Are you sure you haven't been spotted on your way here?"

Suddenly, the blacksmith asked coldly.

Axel immediately replied, "I'm sure, I can guarantee that." ”

"Heh," the blacksmith sneered, "how did that information disappear?" ”

"This ...... I don't know, but ......" Axel said boldly, "I don't think that information can really threaten the network, they don't know where we are, they don't know where we are hiding underground, they don't know how many people are in the network, and the few peripheral members they know can't reveal much information......"

Bang!

A loud bang was heard, and the blacksmith suddenly burst into flames and rushed towards Axel, the desk in front of him being smashed to pieces like tofu.

Under Axel's horrified gaze, the blacksmith's skin turned blue metal from head to toe, and then grabbed him by the neck with one hand.

"I don't want to hear 'I don't know'!"

The blacksmith grabbed Axel with one hand and lifted the latter into the air.

The feeling of suffocation caused Axel to struggle frantically.

"Do you know how important that information is to us?"

The blacksmith said angrily, "The next step of the network is very important, and there must not be the slightest risk of leakage. ”

"They haven't noticed the really important parts of the material yet, but sooner or later they'll piece together a complete clue, and we'll all be doomed by then!"

"Maybe you thought the Flash wasn't in Canterlot and we could be unscrupulous, but don't forget that there's a goddamn satellite in the sky watching the entire Earth! If our plans leak out, the Justice League will be on the move, so we have to tread carefully! ”

Axel pleaded with difficulty, "I...... I understand my mistake, but I can guarantee that the information will not be in the hands of the FBI now, at least your plan...... There is still time. ”

"Please give me a chance to make up for my mistakes."

The blacksmith looked at him coldly for a moment, then finally let go of his hand, and Axel collapsed to the ground clutching his neck, retching incessantly.

"I'll give you another chance, remember, I won't tolerate your second failure!"

Axel breathed a sigh of relief, it was really a line of life and death just now.

"I'll get it back as soon as I can."

"No need." The blacksmith shook his head, "If the information is in James's possession, then it must be hidden somewhere we can't find it, and if it is obtained by someone else, then this person will take the initiative to come to us." ”

Axel didn't quite understand what the blacksmith meant, but he didn't dare to ask questions and waited quietly for the blacksmith to come next.

"There's an outside profiler at the Wedge Rock Police Department, named Hunter Zolemont, who thinks he's fooled me, but I've known for a long time that he's in touch with my ex-husband, and you're tasked with erasing all files from Hunter Zolemont's personal computer."

The blacksmith threw a palm-sized disc at Axel, "Stick this on your computer and it will automatically erase the data." ”

"Axel, don't let me down!"

At the same time, Yuri's home.

Yuri sat in the chair of the old broken car, examining his loot.

The little broken watch is still analyzing the mysterious energy captured from the Lightning Kid, and it is estimated that there are seventeen hours left.

Until then, Yuri will not be able to use the Little Broken Watch for the time being.

Let's look at another piece of loot.

Online survey data.

Yuri spread out the information on the table, skimming through it bit by bit.

"Wow, this network has a bit of a trick."

The content of the material is not too much, only a dozen pages in total, but the amount of information on each page is amazing.

The headquarters of the network is very secretive, and until now it has been impossible to determine the location of the network.

All the known supervillains in Canterlot have cooperated with the network to a greater or lesser extent, and it stands to reason that they should be able to pry out a lot of information.

However, the truth is that every captured supervillain remembers that he has been to the Internet, but he has forgotten where the Internet is and what he has done in the Internet.

They were not mentally ill, had not been hit on the head, and did not have any visible injuries on their bodies.

Even the warden of Iron Mountain Prison, known for his ruthlessness and brutality, failed to torture the information on the Internet.

The Internet has a monopoly on the black markets in Canterlot and Wedge Rock, and there is close trade with the black markets in the states, so it can be said that there are no goods that cannot be bought on the Internet.

According to the FBI's estimates, the annual trading volume of the black market can reach 200 million US dollars, and the network can take 20% of it, which means that the network can make a profit of 50 million a year......

It didn't take long for Yuri to read all the information.

In addition to describing the business of the Internet, it is also pointed out that a small number of supercriminals have mysteriously disappeared after committing consecutive crimes, or have not been caught yet, and are suspected to have deeper ties to the Internet than others.

The last page is dedicated to the boss of the network, and this page is still information provided by an anonymous informant.

The leader of the network, who calls himself a blacksmith whose real name is Amunet Black, is the ex-wife of Keith Kenyon, a former super-criminal golden-faced man and current president of the Kenyon union in Wedge Rock, who began forming the network fifteen years ago......
