Chapter 22: The Secret of the Hunter Guild, Go to the Stronghold!
Two hours later.
Xia Chen opened his eyes and saw Ye Guanhai come back and sit back on the sofa.
"How? What did you find? β
He spoke softly, then got up and poured a glass of water, judging from Ye Guanhai's expression, he should indeed have made a discovery.
"There have indeed been discoveries!"
Ye Guanhai nodded, frowning slightly, with a thoughtful look.
After a moment, as if it had been sorted out, he raised his eyelids to look at Xia Chen, and slowly spoke:
"This hunter union is really not simple!"
"How?"
"Two hours ago, I searched all the way to the address they gave, and soon found the place, and then found that it was a card research company called 'Jiulin'.
I immediately looked for a quick look, and found that the background of this company is quite clean, and it has been in business for more than ten years, and there have never been any problems.
Then I checked the company's legal person and a number of senior executives, but I didn't find any problems, so I thought I would take a look inside the company.
And until I went up and down this company, everything was normal, from people to things, there were no strange traces. β
"That's the weirdest ......"
Hearing this, Xia Chen interjected, no problem is the biggest problem, indicating that there may be something deeper hidden in it.
"That's right, I think so too, so I didn't rush to leave......" Ye Guanhai nodded and continued to speak.
"Then I thought about it, and thought there must be something I hadn't noticed, so I went to the president's office on the top floor, and if there was any secret in it, it was most likely hidden there.
And it happened that the president of that company was in the office, so I attached him directly, logged into his computer, and saw if there were any confidential documents in the computer. β
"Possessed" ......
It is another special ability that Ye Guanhai has mastered after becoming a spirit body, which can unconsciously control the spirit of a person whose mental power is weaker than him, and temporarily replace the identity of the other party.
And this ability is also the core of their plan this time, relying on Ye Guanhai's possession, they can easily know the identity of the top management of the trade union, and they will not be detected by the people in the trade union.
"Looks like you've gained something this time?" Xia Chen smiled slightly, and then asked.
"That's right!"
Ye Guanhai nodded, but his face was a little calm, and at the same time, he ...... It's also a little hard to believe.
"Through what I observed with his idiomatic password, I opened the hidden files on his computer and found that the company seemed to be part of a large group......
The group is basically a group of card research companies and some card factories, and these companies have no connection to the factories on the surface, like ...... Parts that look disparate but fit together! β
"And what is their purpose?"
"Maybe it's to prevent the leakage of secrets, it's not too clear on the document, and even what I said above is just my speculation based on clues, and there is no specific evidence.
But it can be seen that this company has been in charge of a project, that is, the development of epic and above general-purpose cards, although it is only responsible for the overcoming of one of the nodes, and the progress is slow, but it is enough to explain a lot of problems! β
"Hmm...... Indeed......"
Hearing this, Xia Chen couldn't help but nod, and then began to think about it, sensing that something was wrong.
You know, the topic of "general-purpose epic cards" has been settled by the academic community a long time ago, and its conclusion is:
Impossible!
The so-called "general-purpose cards" are cards that do not have a mental power imprint, can be mass-produced, and can be used by anyone, just like the "life cards" that civilians usually use.
And since it is available to everyone, its quality naturally cannot be too high, and now black is the limit, and no matter how high it is, it is impossible.
However, it is worth noting that the conclusion is "impossible to achieve", not a "false proposition", which means that theoretically it is still possible if certain conditions can be met.
But this so-called "condition" can be described as extremely harsh, even if it is the strength of all the card masters in the alliance...... It is also impossible to achieve.
"Do you mean...... This Hunter Guild has solved the problem of the Legendary [God Seed]? After thinking for a moment, Xia Chen raised his head and asked.
This Legendary-level [God Seed] is an indispensable part of making epic general-purpose cards, and it takes at least a hundred to do it, not one!
You must know that at present, the total number of registered legendary-level people in the four domains of the entire alliance is only about fifty, and some of them are not [God Species], hundred......
It's a fantasy!
And the reason why the [God Seed] is needed is because the [God Seed] that can reach the legendary level and the [Knowledge Gift] it receives are quite profound, and only by their joint efforts and mutual confirmation can it be possible to overcome the epic general-purpose problem, just like the key to open a new door!
"No, this should be impossible, no matter what, it is impossible for the Hunter Guild to hide so many powerhouses under the nose of the Alliance, not to mention that the appearance of so many [God Seeds] is impossible to achieve in itself." Ye Guanhai shook his head.
And even if they did, why hide it? Isn't this something that will benefit all mankind and help them get out of their predicament? They can't all be traitors to humanity? β
"Hmm...... That's the truth, but now this unreasonable situation is indeed happening, and with the way the Hunter Guild has always acted, it doesn't look like it would do such a useless ......."
Xia Chen thought and gradually narrowed his eyes......
"If you want to rationalize this situation, it's only possible that they made epic general-purpose cards not for the benefit of humanity, and probably not to betray humanity to help the Abyss, but to ...... We don't know much more about it! β
"Indeed, there is only one possibility, so what do we say now? Do you want to continue the search? Ye Guanhai thought for a while, and then asked.
"No, there's no need to keep looking, with their caution, they should have already found the end of the search, and if they want to know more, that's all they can ...... Climb up! Xia Chen shook his head, his eyes flickering slightly.
"Okay Senior Ye, let's write down this matter first, this is not something that can be figured out in a while, our top priority now is to complete the plan, and when our status is raised, everything will naturally have a chance to be contacted."
Soon, Xia Chen waved his hand, indicating that he would put the matter down first.
"Is there anything else you've found? Their true stronghold...... Is there a clue? β
"No, even the president's computer and hand don't have any possible records, it seems that they are really cautious and divide everything very clearly." Ye Guanhai shook his head.
"Okay, then in that case, let's not be busy, anyway, there are no more hours left, everything ...... You'll find out when the time comes. β
Xia Chen smiled, and after greeting him, he closed his eyes again and entered a meditative state......
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Soon.
It was half past five in the afternoon.
Ding dong!
The doorbell in the room rang suddenly, and Xia Chen also opened his eyes.
"Someone's coming......"
He gave Ye Guanhai a look, Ye Guanhai immediately understood, and then hid his figure.
Da, da, da......
Click!
Ga β
Xia Chen put on the demon mask, walked to the door calmly, opened the door, and immediately saw a familiar figure.
"Hey!"
"See you again!"
"Smoking Gun" waved his hand, smiling all over his face.
ββ¦β¦β
"You've broken your promise again."
Looking at this guy's smiling face, Xia Chen was speechless for a moment, and his tone was very cold.
"Hehe, you can't blame me, the top will temporarily notify you to change the location, won't I be able to take you there?" "Smoking Gun" shrugged his shoulders and was unimpressed.
ββ¦β¦ Let's go. β
Xia Chen glanced at him and didn't say anything more, this guy is not easy to deal with, and there is no need to waste this time.
So, the two quickly took the elevator down to the first floor, got into the "smoking gun" taxi again, and headed for their new destination.
"How? Resting well? β
In the car, the "smoking gun" talked very familiarly, and it could be seen that the incident at noon had no effect on him.
ββ¦β¦β
And Xia Chen leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes, ignoring him at all, he couldn't see through this person, it was best to be cautious.
However, although he didn't want to pay attention to this guy, it didn't mean that Ye Guanhai was not interested in him, Ye Guanhai had already quietly gotten into the back seat of the car at this time, and a pair of eyes were constantly looking at the "smoking gun".
I don't know why......
He always felt that this guy was a little familiar.
But after thinking about it, I couldn't think of anything for a while.
After about twenty minutes......
"It's here, get out of the car."
The "smoking gun" said and parked the car in front of a building.
"Huh?"
Xia Chen opened his eyes, and immediately found that this was a bustling downtown area, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, thinking:
I see!
Hiding the union base in such a downtown area is indeed difficult for ordinary people to think of, as long as enough attention is taken, it is difficult to be discovered.
Then he raised his head and found that the building in front of him was still a karaoke in business, and he had to say...... These guys are really daring!
"Eh, kindly remind you, try to follow the process after going in for a while, don't resist, otherwise even with your strength, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of here." "Smoking gun" said with a smile.
"Anything else?"
"Huh?"
"What else is there to remind, can I say it."
"Hehe, you guy is a little interesting, then I will give you another piece of advice, the water in this union is much deeper than you think, if you want to save your life, you should find a thigh to hold as soon as possible!"
"Oh? Really? β
At this time, Xia Chen suddenly turned his head and looked at the "smoking gun" who was about to light a cigarette, and there seemed to be interest in his eyes.
"And what's your thigh?"
He then asked, he wanted to know which side of the person in front of him was, and he had a lot of information.
"Me? Hehe, I'm a thigh myself! "Smoking gun" said shamelessly, then lit the cigarette and inhaled deeply.
"Whewβif you want, you can ...... Forget it, don't hug me, I'm too tired to keep people, I'm still trying to be quiet. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Understood, thank you."
For this guy's words, Xia Chen just listened and didn't say anything, but he still expressed his gratitude.
"Here, car money."
Then he directly put a few banknotes in front of the car window, then opened the door and got out of the car, and walked straight into the KTV.
"Hehe, interesting guy, it's a pity ......" Looking at Xia Chen's back, the "smoking gun" grinned, then picked up the banknote in front of the car window, looked at the sun, and then happily put it away.
For him, there will be one or two people like Xia Chen every year, but due to personality problems, it will not end well in the end, which is a pity.
"This guy is kind of funny, it doesn't feel like the hunters you usually see." Walking into the KTV, Ye Guanhai said to Xia Chen, obviously interested in "smoking guns".
"Well, it's an interesting guy, and I can pay more attention to it when I have a chance in the future, I think...... He seems to know a lot of things. Xia Chen nodded and responded with mental power.
Then, in order to prevent the other party from being suspicious, the two no longer had any form of communication, and Xia Chen immediately walked to the front desk and said the code that the "smoking gun" told him:
"Hello, do you have a luxury private room here? The kind of ...... that delivers fruit plates at night."
ββ¦β¦β
"Wait a minute."
The front desk lady glanced at him, and didn't seem to be intimidated by his ghost mask, just smiled slightly and began to operate on the computer.
Moment......
"After a long wait, the room has been opened for you, and our staff will take you there." She smiled again, then beckoned to the waiter.
"Hello, please come with me."
The waiter immediately stepped forward and bowed his head, with a professional smile on his face, and began to guide Xia Chen.
Then, Xia Chen followed the waiter into the elevator, the waiter swiped the card, pressed the top floor, and the elevator started.
However, in the next second, Xia Chen felt a burst of weightlessness, and he found that the elevator was not going up, but down, and the speed was still quite fast.
Bite!
Soon, the elevator bell rang, the elevator stopped running, and the elevator doors slowly opened.
Wow β
Then, a tall figure appeared behind the elevator door, looking at Xia Chen coldly, as if he was waiting for him here.
"You're the 'Yama'?"
"Hmm."
The man asked, and Xia Chen immediately nodded in response.
"Alright, you can come with me."
The man beckoned, then turned around and walked toward the passage behind him.
ββ¦β¦β
Immediately afterwards, Xia Chen also stepped out of the elevator, looked left and right, and found that there was only this passage in front of him, and his eyes narrowed.
Judging from the speed and time of the elevator descent just now, this place should be 300 meters underground, and it is really a big deal to make such an underground space in such a trouble!
"This Hunter Guild man...... Are they all gophers? He couldn't help but complain, and then followed......
