Chapter 1487 Abyss
Game time AM10:37
The third floor of the main house of Keyworth Manor, the second data room
This is located at the end of the third floor. It was originally Part of the Kevos family's data room. It contains some basic things that can make Mo Tan fall asleep quickly within two minutes. The amount is not small, and it is barely enough to survive in the Free City, but The content is so boring that it cannot be complimented.
For example, the division of forces in the Free City that is updated every two or three years, the account books of several small workshops on Bella Street, the records of cooperation with several other third-rate forces, the imaginary enemies and imaginary allies A survey is conducted, and a list of blood supporters is given to outsiders every year.
In the past few decades, these materials have indeed been necessary, and the first two generations of family heads have actually relied on them to gain a foothold in the city. But in Mo Tan's view, despite the importance the Kaivos family attaches to intelligence, The extent is worthy of recognition, but their starting point for wanting to survive here is indeed absurd and ridiculous.
Because of a very simple reason, that is, the two words "weak" and "stable" are contradictory to each other in a place like this.
The concept of 'stability' is an absolute luxury in a place like the Free City. It does not exist, but it is something that most people cannot enjoy. In Mo Tan's view, Kai The reason why the Voss family has been able to survive to this day with such an attitude is simply because of their great fortune.
Although they have some small industries, although they have accumulated some connections and popularity through 'blood embrace', although there are not many strong people in the manor, they are by no means few, and the characteristics of blood seekers are more It makes them quite cohesive, but this still cannot change the fact that the Kevos family is only alive today because of good luck.
In the final analysis, they are just maintaining the status quo, and they have basically not developed much since they established themselves here.
If they are that kind of super-large force with extremely terrifying background, they can naturally enjoy peace and quiet unscrupulously, but for many second-rate or even third-rate forces, even if they stay in place for one more day, they will be frightened to the point of running cold down their spines.
The so-called sailing against the current is too gentle compared to the environment of the City of Freedom. If you slack off even a little bit, you will be eaten by others without leaving any bones. No. In a place where the boat will be destroyed if you try hard to row, the concept of 'giving in' is also a luxury.
However, not many people can understand this truth. In the eyes of many people, those forces who work hard to strengthen themselves and dream about becoming stronger every day are more dangerous, so instead of inexplicably falling in hard work On the way, it is better to stay on your toes from the beginning and make others feel that you are not a threat.
For example, the Kevos family does this. They skillfully deal with various forces, spend most of their time following the crowd and making friends, and maintain a neutral attitude. A concept taken to its extreme.
And they have indeed witnessed many emerging forces fall on the road to growth, and have witnessed countless people with incomparable scenery go to destruction and destruction, which makes Kaivos firmly believe that his choice is not wrong.
But what they fail to understand is that although those forces that desperately want to become bigger will most likely fail in the middle, those who are content with the status quo will only end up dead, without exception.
In other words, even if the Bloodwing family does not take action, it is only a matter of time before the surname Kevos is directly exterminated in the Free City. Those direct members who are pure-blood blood seekers will probably be exterminated. Keep them in captivity and use them as a machine to give others 'blood possession', or even a tool to produce a new generation of purebloods.
This is by no means an alarmist. Under the bright surface of this city, there is an extremely cruel and dark abyss of flesh and blood from the beginning. The so-called prosperity has always been based on countless desperate curses.
Of course, Mo Tan did not intend to let the newly born Kevos family make the same mistakes again, so he divided the data room into two parts early, and the floor space was so large that it was only the size of a few toilet cubicles. A data room is used as a memorial to Lesa. It contains all the files that were used in the past. To maintain the stability of materials, the newly opened second data room is decorated to a super standard. It is not only elegant in style, bright and transparent, but also equipped with the latest anti-theft measures. Sofas, carpets, and data cabinets are also made from blood. The high-end goods copied from the Yi family are basically new.
The things stored inside are also important information with a very high level of confidentiality. In view of the fact that they are basically sealed with high-end encryption wax seals (50 gold coins/ (with a capacity of 10 pieces of parchment), and its security is second only to the player’s message bar that will be cleared by the system every once in a while.
"Well, if I remember correctly..."
Mo Tan placed the two wax seals in front of him and casually burned them with the lighter that symbolized the identity of the Joker brand [JOKER]. After a while, he easily took out two small stacks of reports, flipping through them while raising his eyebrows and saying: "Sure enough, this is it, tsk "Tsk, this is really unexpected~"
Soon, a page of parchment was singled out by him -
[Southwestern Chauvin Empire's new hereditary Extended information of Earl's 'Sin Jue Mo'②:

His daily life is mainly taken care of by his personal maid, while he is responsible for taking care of [Sui Lord]'s daily life. His pastime is reading and reading. Baking.
Appendix 1: Considering the naming style of the Dark Elf clan, 'Silent Prayer' is most likely a pseudonym - Jun Wu
Appendix 2: After preliminary investigation, 'Silent Prayer' and The action overlap rate of regular outsiders (i.e. players) is extremely low, and there is a high probability that they are native NPCs in the Innocence Realm. ——Jun Wu
Appendix 3: The target's perception is extremely keen. The staff (high-level peak) have been nearly discovered several times when collecting intelligence. Most of their strength is at the beginning of high-level or high-level peak. ——Sphink
※Note 1: [Silent Prayer] and [Sin Lord] both have registration records in the Adventurer's Guild, both in the year 9562 of the Holy Calendar, and the registration location has been verified as The birthplace of Silent Prayer has completed a total of 522 missions in the past nine years. The main scope of activities is the eastern border of the Chauvin Empire, the northern border and the southern border of the Griffin Dynasty. Since the data is too clean and detailed, it is judged that its authenticity is doubtful and remains to be seen. Further verification and investigation. ——Sphink
——The person in charge of the Wanderer Hostel in Pallast City of the Chauvin Empire: Sphink Chalkin]
……
Above, That's all there is on this page of parchment.
This is a piece of information that Jun Wu obtained through special channels and has a confidentiality level of C within the Traveler Hotel.
At first glance, it does not seem to be of much value. It is just a personal file with a relatively comprehensive range of interests. Even if there are some contents of doubtful authenticity, in this world where everyone has some secrets, it is It's perfectly normal and won't arouse any suspicion or attention at all.
From the fact that this thing is classified as C-level, it can be seen that whether it is [Silent Prayer] or [Sin Lord], in the eyes of Wanderer Hotel, they are just registration objects. It appears to be very professional, simply because the report written by the intelligence collector is professional. There is no reason to be taken seriously, nor is it worthy of serious investigation.
But... from Mo Tan's point of view, the gold content of this thing is another matter.
In fact, the fundamental reason why he waited until he was sick and reached 'Chaotic Neutral' before going online today was because he wanted to confirm the thing in his hand as quickly as possible. ‘[Chaotic Evil], dark elf, didn’t choose a profession. ’
This is the content of someone’s self-introduction when we met for the first time.
In Mo Tan’s impression, that person was the only one who only mentioned his camp and race, and did not directly report his game vest. However, he didn’t care at the time. After all, everyone had just mentioned it at that time. They had known each other for less than a meal, and although the conversation was quite speculative, given the character and temperament displayed by that person, it was not difficult to understand that he would hide his game ID when reporting his home.
Yes, that person is Ji Xiaodao. He has been in the game since the day the world of innocence was launched. However, he has not met any acquaintances in the game, and his friends only added himself. As a sister, whenever we talk about the content of the game, her presence is extremely thin, almost like a non-existent girl.
In fact, even when she met everyone in a public space, she was invited into the room by Ji Xiaoge, and she still did not reveal her game ID.
This is not a deliberate attempt to hide it. Mo Tan feels that if anyone takes the initiative to ask, Ji Xiaodao will not ignore it completely even if he is reluctant. In the final analysis, everyone is more considerate and no one wants to do this. The more unsociable girl is in trouble.
But even so, as Ji Xiaoge's good friend in the game, Mo Tan still vaguely heard the name 'Silent Prayer' a few times, but it was always mentioned by the former inadvertently during chatting. , so the impression left on him was not deep.
That's why Mo Tan didn't react immediately when he received the 'short summary' sent to his friends from Jun Wu. On the one hand, the words 'Silent Prayer' were in the summary. Chuuya was mentioned in passing, but on the other hand, he was not impressed enough by the name.
It wasn’t until the meeting during the day when the self-proclaimed person said ‘that sentence’ on Ji Xiao Island in the Chauvin Empire that Mo Tan connected these detailed clues together in shock.
‘And the peace and tranquility are only temporary. When war breaks out, many paradises will be destroyed in a short period of time. ’
It was this sentence that sounded innocent at first, but made Mo Tan feel an extremely strong sense of violation.
From an objective point of view, there is indeed an undercurrent in the Southwest Continent, and Mo Tan has long analyzed this after summarizing the large amount of news sent by Jun Wu, so Ji There is absolutely nothing wrong with what Xiaodao said.
Then what’s the problem?
The answer is obvious, that is Ji Xiaodao's default attitude of "a war will begin when the time comes".
Mo Tan can be keenly aware of the undercurrent in the Southwest Continent because he has a large amount of data and intelligence in his hands for reference, and even so, he has no attitude towards the matter of 'a fight is about to begin' The other party is determined.
In Ji Xiaodao's words, she is just a "pure scenery party" who doesn't hear anything outside the window and only cares about wandering around.
Mo Tan is not very sure what the "Scenery Party" the girl means, but even so, he doesn't think any Scenery Party can judge the situation so accurately, especially when she is It is even more impossible to know when you are in the grassroots circles of the chauvinist empire. Unless the decision-makers there are fools, there is no way that this situation that is very likely to cause panic will happen.
Of course, Ji Xiaodao is not an ordinary villager after all, and it is not difficult for players to obtain information that ordinary NPCs do not know, but even so, Mo Tan still has doubts in his heart. of seeds.
So he thought about it carefully.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t think about the result. Once you think about it, you will find a problem.
For example, he vaguely remembered that Ji Xiaoge had mentioned his sister's game ID several times, and that name seemed to have appeared in the information Jun Wu sent him a few days ago.
"Silent Prayer..."
Clenching the parchment in his hand into a ball, Mo Tan narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured softly as if suppressing a smile: "It turns out So, I really misjudged you, you are really an amazing character."
He stood up suddenly, pacing back and forth in the room with an extremely enthusiastic expression, excitement constantly flowing in his eyes. The light shone brightly, and there was even a drop of sweat on his forehead amidst the extremely intense thinking.
Things are getting interesting, even a little too interesting.
Especially the long-lost fear made Mo Tan feel a joy that even Futaba couldn't bring to him at this moment, and even his soul was trembling slightly.
Pieces of the puzzle are connected one after another, and the information grasped by the three characters of 'Hei Fan', 'Mo' and 'Tan Mo' is exhausted, and the shadow that has been hidden under the water is finally revealed. The tip of the iceberg appeared before his eyes with unprecedented clarity.
But it was still too vague. It was so vague that at this moment, Mo Tan had to desperately control himself in order to suppress the urge to leave everything behind to explore the truth, and use the most rational and safe angle to do so. Look at that abyss where no amount of caution is too much.
Yes, it is an abyss, an abyss that will swallow everything up if you are not careful.
【Wait...】
Mo Tan's enthusiastic expression suddenly froze.
Abyss...Abyss...
What did Nietzsche say?
When you stare into the abyss...
Where is the abyss?
