Chapter 300: Rest Till Death
Facing Su Mo's question, Qi Ling shook his head: "I haven't been to the Borderlands, why did you suddenly ask this?" β
Su Mo sighed lightly, leaned into Qi Ling's arms and said, "I'm suddenly a little annoyed with this place in Crescent City, so many intricate forces, so many inexplicable and wonderful rules. β
"I can now understand why so many people have gone to the Borderlands to set up their own Cypriot forces. Because it is very pure, everyone looks down on life and death, and if they don't accept it, they will do it, which is indeed much more comfortable than in the human domain. β
Qi Ling: "You have something to say. β
Su Mo: "I was thinking about the way forward. I wonder if I should abandon Crescent City and move to the Borderlands with all my core resources. β
After a moment of silence, Qi Ling let go of Su Mo and looked at him with deep eyes, his fingertips gently caressing his face, reaching down his neck, and finally touching the collarbone.
Without warning, Qi Ling took a bite into it.
The sudden sharp pain made Su Mo gasp: "What are you doing?" β
Qi Ling didn't let go, she grabbed Su Mo's back tightly, and bit his collarbone, biting hard.
Su Mo could feel that his skin was bitten and warm blood was flowing, but he was afraid of hurting Qi Ling, so he didn't dare to struggle hard, so he could only sit there in pain.
I don't know how long it took, the pain subsided, and Qi Ling was relieved.
She gently kissed the wound on her collarbone with her lips, like a kitten that bites its owner and comes back to apologize with guilt.
Su Mo: "What's wrong with you?" β
Qi Ling's voice was faint: "I want you to sober up." β
Sumer: "I'm sober. The mastermind behind this time is the Society of Fools, we are not full of wings, and being targeted by that group of madmen at this point in time can only be said to be bad luck. β
"It's hard for us to stand firm anymore in Crescent City. Even if you go to a new city, it is useless, the fool will never let go of his prey, and will inevitably chase and bite all the time. β
"The only way out for us is to go to the Borderlands, to the places where the Big Three can't influence, and start all over again."
Qi Ling: "Are you happy if you do this?" β
Su Mo smiled helplessly: "How can you be happy?" Going to the Borderlands meant that everything I had been fighting for so long had to be torn down and reinvented. β
"It's just a desperate move. If I had a choice, I would certainly like to stay in Crescent City. β
Qi Ling: "Then stay." β
Sumer: "Huh? β
Qi Ling: "I said, then stay." β
She held Su Mo's face and looked deeply into his eyes: "Remember?" I told you that I would live for you alone for the rest of my life. β
"If you're happy, I'll be happy. If you are frustrated, I will be frustrated. If you die one day, I will not hesitate to die. β
"If you feel unhappy going to the Borderlands and want to stay in Crescent City, then stay, it will be my wish."
Su Mo sighed softly: "Of course I think so, but in addition to being unhappy, I still have to think about practical issues." β
Qi Ling asked coldly: "You just said, who is behind all this?" β
Su Mo: "The Fools, if you are specific, the president of the Fools, the head of the intelligence department of the Crescent City branch of the Co., Ltd., Mammon. β
Qi Ling: "It's not him. β
Su Mo asked suspiciously, "Why not?" Such an ostentatious bounty, coupled with Lucifer's arrogance, Mammon almost jumped in the face and said that he did it. β
Qi Ling: "All this was done by Mammon, I don't deny it. But there is also a black hand behind him, a black hand that you may not even have noticed to you. β
Su Mo was even more puzzled: "Why do you say that?" β
Qiling: "I told you earlier that I worked for a while at the Co., Ltd., where I was responsible for their firewall infrastructure. β
"You've been busy with things these days, and I'm not idle. I always feel that this thing is very strange, there are 32 million people in Crescent City, why is it your friend who is involved in it? β
So, I used several firewall vulnerabilities to hack into the intranet of the company, trying to find out if there were any clues. And guess what I found? β
She pulled a data chip out of her bosom.
Su Mo took the chip and plugged it into the computer and opened the only file inside.
It was a video taken from a high altitude, filming the battle between Nuo Bai and Ou Chenyu in Meteorite Canyon at that time.
Su Mo couldn't help muttering: "Such a clear picture was definitely taken by Hezi with the Apocalypse Star." β
"The Apocalypse Star orbit change costs a huge amount of money, and it is usually used to monitor high-value strategic targets, how can it be used to film this battle"
Qi Ling motioned to continue looking back.
Broadcast and broadcast, when he saw Ou Chenyu slash off Nuobai's mask with a knife and her true face was exposed, Su Mo held his forehead and said, "It turns out that the source of Nuobai's exposure is here, which you found from Mammon's database?" β
Qi Ling's expression became serious: "The interesting place is here, can you imagine?" Such an inconsequential video was actually sealed at the highest level, and even Mammon, as the head of the intelligence department, had no access to it. β
Su Mo frowned when he heard this: "You mean, the reason why Mammon was able to get this video was because someone of higher rank gave him this video?" β
Qi Ling nodded, she leaned into Su Mo's ear, and whispered a name.
"Zhao Yiming."
Su Mo sat there for a long time without moving, and only after a long time did he mutter, "Vice President of the Crescent City Branch of the Co., Ltd."
Qi Ling shrugged: "It's not much different from the right one." Their president has been bedridden in recent years and is not far from retirement. Zhao Yiming had actually taken over the functions and powers of all the Crescent City branches, and he was only one name away. β
Sumer: "I don't understand. Zhao Yiming and Nuo Bai have no grievances, they don't even have the slightest intersection, and both sides are not from the same world, why did they suddenly target her? β
Qi Ling: "I couldn't figure it out at first, so I didn't act rashly and just watched the changes. β
"Later, I saw that the Fool would change its goal and start toying with you, forcing you to the point where you are now, and I kind of understood."
"Nuo Bai was not Zhao Yiming's target from the beginning, but just a pawn in his game. Zhao Yiming's real target is you. β
Su Mo tried to keep up with the rhythm of Qi Ling's thoughts.
Qi Ling tapped the tip of Su Mo's nose, and said step by step: "In this way, you play yourself, I play Zhao Yiming, and we will conduct a thinking deduction." β
Su Mo nodded, and according to his understanding of Zhao Yiming, he began to answer with Qi Ling: "You deliberately gave that video to Mammon to induce Mammon to use the power of the Fool's Guild to hunt down Nuobai. β
Qi Ling: "And with your friendship with Nuobai, if something happens to Nuobai, you can't ignore it, you will inevitably be implicated in the water, and you will inevitably be targeted by the Fool's Association." β
Su Mo: "With my current accumulation, against a big man of the level of Shang Mammon, I can only be toyed with, and there is no room for struggle." β
Qi Ling: "Oh~ Yes, little pitiful, we are a joint company, the existence at the top of the food chain in this world, our director wants to pinch you to death, it is easier than pinching an ant to death." β
Su Mo: "I was cornered by Mammon, it is impossible to break the game by my own strength, if I want to keep everything I have, then I can only ask others to help break the game." β
Qi Ling: "The iron-blooded consortium has alienated you, and the Black Domain Group has no intention of ending, so you can only hope for the joint company." β
Su Mo: "Who in the company can deal with a department leader like Mammon?" β
Qi Ling: "Yes, poor little girl, who is it?" β
Su Mo: "Then it's just you." β
Qi Ling: "It's just me." β
Su Mo: "But I've never had any contact with you, how can I get in touch with you?" β
Qi Ling: "Oh, it's okay, there's a guy next to you who is an old friend of mine. If you want to contact me, why don't you go find the magical Qi Ling~"
The simulation is over.
Like a candle lit in the darkness, Su Mo's mind was lit up.
Su Mo summed up the conclusions he had just deduced in his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Nuobai, Mamen, and the Fool's Guild are all Zhao Yiming's pawns. β
"He's already done it, and he's going to use the hand of the Fools to corner, and then let me beg him through you."
Qi Ling nodded: "From the beginning, we were counted in the game by him." β
Sumer: "But I don't understand one thing, what is his purpose in doing this?" β
Qi Ling: "I haven't figured this out either, I don't have enough information at the moment." He definitely has his own ideas in the next big game. β
Su Mo: "But if that is the case, I should leave Crescent City." Otherwise, even if I borrowed Zhao Yiming's hand to get rid of the Fool's Club, I would have fallen from one pit into another, bigger pit. β
Qi Ling shook her head, she looked into Su Mo's eyes, and said deeply, "You are already in the game, you can't escape." Even if you want to escape, Zhao Yiming must have a way to leave you behind. β
"And, silently, I talked to KK and them before, and they talked about your vision."
"If you have the ambition to ascend to Sky City, to set foot on the highest part of this world, you will inevitably have to face those three behemoths one day."
"Since there will always be a face, why don't you start here. Use me, treat me as your pawn, go down Zhao Yiming's game, and face this big man of the joint company. β
This crazy thought made Su Mo's eyes complicated, and he put his hand on Qi Ling's face and gently stroked it: "We have lost the first momentum, playing against him at this time, what do you think are the chances of winning?" β
The corners of Qi Ling's lips were slightly hooked, revealing a meaningful smile: "I don't know how many chances there are, I only know that Zhao Yiming is very good at chess." β
"Ordinary people play chess by taking one step at a time, and he can see a hundred moves when he takes one step. Butβ"
Su Mo smiled and picked up Qi Ling's words: "I can only see a hundred steps." β
Qi Ling suddenly fell into a trance, as if his heart had been hit hard, and his soul was blended with him.
She hugged Su Mo's neck tightly, rubbing her red lips in his ear, and the intoxication in her voice almost melted: "I really want to cut open my heart and let you kiss my heart." β
Su Mo's smile gradually deepened: "The only way to defeat this kind of person who walks one step at a time and sees a hundred steps is to see a hundred steps away first, and see farther than him." β
There seemed to be a fire in his eyes, and he repeated two words.
"Get in!"
The corners of Qiling's lips curled in a crazy arc, and those amber eyes shone with a cold light like a cold-blooded animal ready to hunt, and the monster that once made Crescent City tremble was back.
"Go, Sumer, I want to see you standing at the top of the city!"
Knock Dong raided the Hellhound Mansion with an unknown person, and hit the head of the Seven Stars, "Tai MSI" Lucifer, head-on, and the sensational news has already spread.
Knowing that Dongdong was seriously injured and rescued by Su Mo, reporters from all walks of life gathered outside the Edge Building to follow up the latest news 24 hours a day.
The gates of the fringe building were closed, like an invulnerable fortress, and reporters were gathering in groups in the outer plaza to exchange information they had received.
Just when everyone was discussing fiercely, an exclamation suddenly came from the scene: "Look at the roof! β
They looked up one after another, and for a moment they fell into a state of horror.
As always, the red umbrella logo shines on the top of the edge building.
And next to it a blood flag was raised!
The blood-colored banner fluttered in the cold wind of the winter night, and the light of the red umbrella logo sprinkled on it, reflecting an even more eerie and terrifying scarlet.
Blood Flag, as long as you know something about mercenary culture, knows what it means.
This is the coldest and most extreme signal that a mercenary can send to the outside world.
The blood flag is raised, and the blood debt is paid in blood, until death is rested.
It has been 70 years since the development of the mercenary world in Crescent City, and the number of times the Blood Banner has appeared is extremely rare.
Because mercenaries come out to make money, and only by being friendly can they make money.
Even if there are fights and killings between each other, most of them are talking while fighting, promoting peace with war, leaving a line of life, and seeing each other in the future.
And the edge brazenly raised the blood flag this time, which means that they can't bear it anymore and want to completely settle the accounts of what has happened recently.
Before the reporters could react from the shock, the hangar hatch between the 33rd and 40th floors of the Edge Tower was wide open.
Armed drones, floating gunboats, and individual aircraft drove out of it, and the engines shone like a sea of stars, grinding towards another part of the city.
At this moment, the scene of the blood flag raising in the Edge Building has spread all over the major media through the Internet.
γLakeside Business District, Edge Building Medical Districtγ
The medical work for Shangguan Li and Dongdong is still ongoing.
Dongdong is seriously injured and has not yet woken up, and is still undergoing surgery.
Shangguan Li had already woken up and transferred to the recuperation room, she was lying on the hospital bed looking at the blood flag on the TV, only feeling a chill down her spine, and muttered: "Commander Su, you have to be calm."
γAnjing New District, Lakeside Villaγ
Dresses and several intermediaries were partying at home for a drink, all silently watching television.
One of the intermediaries asked with a strange expression, "Is Su Mo already crazy?" Does he know what it means to raise the blood flag? β
Dressy sneered, spit the melon seeds in his mouth into the ashtray, and said coldly: "I told you everything, this person has a brain disease. It's a good thing I cut the table with him early, otherwise he would have been splashed with blood sooner or later. β
γCivic Center District, Death Scythe Military Industry Headquartersγ
Wen Ye stood alone at the top of the building, looking at the blood flag raised at the far end of the city line and the building on the edge.
He was so old that the cold evening breeze alone was enough to make him shiver.
The escort reminded softly: "Master Wen, it's too cold here, let's go back." β
Wen Ye tightened his neckline, left with the support of the escort, and muttered: "I haven't seen this scene for many years, what kind of person is this Su Mo?"
γBorder area, occupied by wolf attackγ
The huge street had been reduced to a sea of fire, and the wolf thugs who guarded the neighborhood had been slaughtered, and the corpses lay on the ground.
The Death Scythe mercenaries are sweeping the battlefield, killing the wounded in the wolf attack who are still wailing, and each shot represents the loss of a life.
Zhou Hannian stood on a high place, with a blazing wolf's head banner at his feet.
He was holding his mobile phone and was silently looking at the other blood-colored flag that was proudly raised in the picture.
A dead scythe mercenary ran over, raised his head and shouted: "Regiment commander, the drone reconnaissance unit has sent information, the wolf king is coming to us, and he will be there in twenty minutes." β
Zhou Hannian took back his phone and made a retreat gesture.
The surrounding Death Scythe mercenaries immediately boarded the individual aircraft and drove away from the battlefield one after another.
Before Zhou Hannian stepped on the flying machine, he looked up at the dark night, and said meaningfully: "The future is terrifying." β
γCivic Center, Tower of Babelγ
Zhao Yiming sat in the office with a chessboard in front of him, and the position of the game was empty.
He is the one who holds the white son.
He is also the one who holds the sunspot.
He looked at the hologram of the blood flag projected by Zygote One, laughed heartily, and applauded happily.
"That's it! Young man, you didn't disappoint me, that's it! β
"Go ahead, towards the abyss! Only by rising in blood and fire can you forge the true king of mercenaries! (End of chapter)
