The communication room is also a secret door that opens with a remote control, located in the storage room where the miscellaneous items are stacked, and a row of shelves with consumables such as detergents, disinfectants, and gloves is pushed open, and the secret door is revealed by pressing the remote control button.

Surprisingly, the communication room is unusually cramped, about the size of a cubicle in an Internet café, and adult men and women can touch the walls on either side with their arms outstretched.

There's a reason why the news agency was built so small, the managers knew that what ninjas were best at was stealth and eavesdropping, and in such an extremely confined space, even if they couldn't see the ninja, they could physically make sure there was no one else in the room with a casual wave of their hand.

One wall in the room is a large screen that occupies half of the wall, and below the screen is a work table with a keyboard, mouse, camera, microphone, and a comfortable sofa chair that can sink the whole body into it.

The waiter sat in the chair, entered the password to start the computer in front of him, and turned on the massage function of the sofa chair, squinting his eyes comfortably.

Member 187 joins the video conference.

Her number in the Black Market Alliance is 187, which is the serial number assigned in the order in which she joined the Black Market Alliance, but it does not mean that there are 187 people in front of her, some managers who joined earlier have retired bravely and no longer operate the black market, or they are dead, missing, and lost contact and no longer appear, but as long as they have paid their dues, their serial numbers will be permanently retained for them, and maybe one day they will return to their old jobs.

The Black Market Alliance and the Ninja Academy are bitter rivals, but in some details, they are very similar, such as the use of serial numbers to identify identities.

In fact, this is quite reasonable, if there are a large number of members in a group and they are not familiar with each other, it is easier to remember the identity by using the serial number, especially if the names of some members are too long and awkward, and the other is that these members are far away and have no intention of making friends or getting acquainted with each other.

There was a regular meeting of the Black Market Alliance today, and she didn't plan to attend because the time of the meeting happened to be her business hours, but today she closed early, and she had something important to tell the other managers.

Except for Antarctica, there are a number of black markets distributed on every continent in the world, which leads to the fact that no matter when the meeting is held, there will always be some managers who are unable to attend due to time differences, but most of the time it is a routine meeting like this, and it doesn't really make much sense to participate, many managers are free but too lazy to participate, anyway, they will send the meeting summary to their mailbox the next day.

If it is a particularly important meeting, members will definitely be notified in advance.

No. 187 entered the online video conference room and saw the rotating chairman speaking with a transcript.

"The draft of next year's annual budget allocation has been drawn up, and it will be sent to your mailbox in a moment, so please pay attention to it. Any comments or suggestions you have on the draft can be fed back to me or any member of the Executive Committee by email, and we will make appropriate changes to the draft based on your feedback......"

It can be seen from the serial number that she is one of the co-founders of the Black Market Alliance, and she is also the manager of a large black market in Las Vegas, and has a high prestige in the Black Market Alliance, so it is logical to be elected as the current rotating chairman.

Becoming the rotating chairman or joining the executive committee, in addition to the good name, there is no substantive benefit, but there will be some headache chores such as budgeting, just like the class president and the representatives of various subjects when you go to school, most of the work is to receive homework, send homework and other trivial things, and what really determines the future of life is your academic performance, face and social skills, so every time there is a squad leader, there are few people competing, and the situation of electing the rotating chairman of the black market alliance is similar, even if someone else wants to try, considering their own lack of qualifications, it is difficult to convince the public, so they will give up, save the election and can't be elected, and take their own humiliation in vain.

Like most members, No. 187 paid his dues on time, but he was not interested in the lengthy work report, and he didn't even look at the draft budget that was sent to his mailbox...... Or, at most, it is impossible to raise an opinion, and then cast a yes vote at the last show of hands and it's over.

Her payment of membership fees is equivalent to paying protection fees, and if one day her bar encounters troublemakers and enemies that she can't handle, the Black Market Alliance will mobilize other members nearby to help her get it, which is actually a mutual aid model of everyone for me and me for everyone.

The main position of the large screen shows the head of No. 6 who is speaking, and a bunch of small squares next to it show the heads of the participants, and the head of number 187 is also among them.

Strange to say, many members are obviously not interested in the regular meeting, but as long as they can catch up, they will still audit, not because they have a sense of ownership, but because they find that the lengthy work report is very hypnotic......

Probably, sleeping in class is always the most fragrant?

A cursory glance at 187 reveals that at least half of the members are asleep.

Compared with the serious and demanding previous rotating chairman, No. 6 is quite considerate of everyone, and the tone of the whole meeting process has been very calm, never slapping the table or shouting suddenly, so that everyone can sleep peacefully......

That's right, because the bar's business hours are always at night, every member is living a life of day and night for a long time, insomnia is even more commonplace, some members borrow alcohol to sleep, but with the improvement of the body's tolerance to alcohol, the sleep aid effect is getting worse and worse, and they can only drink more alcohol, but they get addicted to alcohol...... It was the regular meeting that saved everyone, and the membership fee paid was worth the ticket price when the medical expenses for the treatment of insomnia were paid.

"Regarding the direction of budget allocation for next year, it is roughly the above aspects, and if anyone has anything to add, they can apply to speak. Number 6 looked away from the manuscript and scanned the attendees.

I waited for about ten seconds.

"If you don't want to add anything for the time being, if you think about it later, you can always let us know by email. No. 6 sorted out today's manuscript as he spoke, "Okay, that's all for today's regular meeting, see if you have anything else to say? If not, this regular meeting will be here......

Usually there is no one to add, as most of the attendees are asleep, and the rest are fighting with eyelids.

Number 187 pressed the speak button, and her avatar lit up on the screen.

"Oh, number 187 has something to say, please speak. No. 6 put down the manuscript at hand and set the avatar of No. 187 as the main window for each participant.

This is the first time that No. 187 has taken the initiative to apply to speak, and she is a little nervous, she is usually a member of the sleepy army below.

She cleared her throat and said, "There's something special going on in my bar today, and I feel the need to let more members know and be vigilant. ”

Number 187's voice was noticeably different from Number 6's, and the initial volume of her microphone was turned up a little louder, waking many people out of their sleep at once.

"What's going on?"

"Who's this?"

"Sick, right?

The more insomnia patients get up, the more they feel that they have just fallen asleep, why are they woken up all of a sudden?

Someone else rolled over and muttered about the intention of continuing to sleep, but the work report of the sleep aid artifact had already been finished, and it was difficult to fall asleep again. Let's read a book

These managers usually look majestic in front of the staff and customers of their own bars, but at this point they are completely revealed.

No. 187 didn't intend to let them go back to sleep, and raised his voice and said, "It's a very important thing, I hope everyone can listen to it." ”

Now even the people who didn't wake up just now woke up, with a look of ignorance Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?

"Everyone, be quiet, if there is anything to do, wait until No. 187 is finished before applying to speak. No. 6 interjected, using her prestige to suppress the scene for the time being, but if No. 187 said trivial matters, it is estimated that everyone's opinions will be great.

No. 187 finally got the opportunity to tell the story of the day from her perspective.

At first, everyone was sleepy to hear, but when they heard that there were 14 customers and 15 pairs of raincoats and shoe covers, many people were relieved.

Every black market has a rain veranda, but who really counts the number of customers and the number of raincoats used?

There is hardly any black market that counts the total number of customers every day, it is meaningless, maybe it will be counted once in a while, and no one will count it every day.

Could something similar happen to their bar before they knew it?

If the quantity is not right, it means that it ...... The bar is invaded by mysterious characters, and everyone immediately thinks of ninjas.

Even the most severe insomnia sufferers are sleepy at this time, and everyone is pulling their necks to listen to No. 187's statement.

"Wait! I have something to say!" one of the members couldn't help but speak, "You blocked that person in the bar, you could have caught her red-handed, and ended up coming out with all the customers?

"Yes. Number 187 admits that he misjudged, defending, "But I thought it was a ninja, and even if I caught her, what would I do?"

"It's all happened, and it's not fun to be an afterthought. No. 6 straightened his face, "I emphasize again, wait for No. 187 to finish first, and others will apply to speak if they have questions, otherwise they will be fined." ”

Number 187 continued, and this time no one interrupted her again until she finished.

"Thank you 187 for your statement, this is a really important matter that deserves vigilance from all of us. Number 6 answered, "Did you say you got the picture from those four people so that you can show it?"

That's exactly what I mean. ”

Number 187 put a photo of the mysterious person in front of the camera, "I'll scan the photos in a moment and send them to each member's mailbox, so let's take a look at them now." ”

Everyone was staring at that picture.

"Take a closer look, has anyone seen this person?" asked Six.

"I think I've seen it in my bar, but I'm not sure, and I might have mistaken it. One member said.

"It's okay, you can show it to your employees, who else has an impression of this person?"

No one spoke.

Due to the time difference, there are not all the members who participate in the regular meeting at present, maybe only about half, so maybe some of the members who did not attend today's meeting have seen her.

"After the meeting is over, be sure to print out a few more copies of this person's picture and post it in a conspicuous place in the store, because maybe a customer has seen her outside the store. Number 6 said.

It doesn't really mean much to see this person in the black market, a person who lives in the Western Hemisphere can also take a plane to a black market somewhere in the Eastern Hemisphere, which is not helpful to find the person's traces, but if you have seen this person in your life, it means that the person either lives in that neighborhood or has been there to run errands in that neighborhood, and the chances of identifying her and finding her are greatly increased.

"If she hasn't been to the black market, then it doesn't matter what kind of ability she has, but since she has repeatedly entered and exited the black market, it is a major threat to the existence and stability of this alliance! We must not sit idly by!"

"Also, to be on the safe side, check the identities of the four people who provided you with the information. Number 6 said, "Do you have any pictures of them?"

"The photos should be retrieved from the surveillance of the shop next door, one of them is a customer who has been to our store a few times, and the other two are nuns from the monastery, but the main person I am talking to is a young man in neutral casual clothes. Number 187 replied.

Catherine's identity is easy to find, she often travels to and from the secular world, and Arabella is the first time she has left the Aarer Mountain since she was an adult, and her identity is basically impossible to find out.

The probability of No. 15 disguised on the 22nd is not high, after all, the No. 15 usually wears a mask.

As for Jiang Chanji...... There is only one person who knows Jiang Chanji and often haunts the black market, a person who has just been promoted to the child's mother.

Number 6 and the rest of the team were stunned when they heard this, and the monastery had also intervened in this matter? What was even more surprising was that the monastery was not the leader.

"Don't post their photos after printing, just hold them in your hands and show them to the customers in your store, and the focus is still on the mysterious person. Number 6 glanced at everyone again, "Is there anything else you would like to add?"

"Okay, then that's the end of today's regular meeting, everyone have a good rest, and don't forget to send photos on the 187th. No. 6 nodded, "The meeting is adjourned, the next meeting time is to be determined, and I will notify you by email." ”

No one spoke anymore, but no one wanted to sleep for a while.

Including the number 6, the avatars of the members went out one by one.

A major manhunt is about to begin.
