Chapter 538 Eliminate the traitor and deliver the "fat sheep" to your door
After completing all the procedures thoroughly, place the purchased mercenaries at the collection desk at the gate of the inner city.
Seeing that it was only three o'clock, he sent Turner away to take care of the exchange. He took Hao Qiang and Sumo with him and continued to wander around.
While dealing with Hao Qiang's identity, Sumo also figured out the disadvantages of cracking the mark by making some insinuations.
In terms of the seriousness of the problem, it is actually not that big.
It's probably after everyone's imprint points drop to 100 points and the time expires.
If you are inside the territory but not in Liberty City, you will be forced to "flash" your machine, losing most of your data, and you will also be locked out of the right to use the template, showing an effect similar to the cracked version.
At this time, if someone else transfers money to this cracked mark, it will be forced to turn on, but the identity will still be marked with a yellow warning, and a fine of 500 contribution points will need to be paid.
This kind of situation has happened many times in the Demon Soul Clan territory since the mercenary system was implemented.
Therefore, two ordinary gatekeepers dared to use their authority to forcibly erase the warning, and only needed to pay a fine.
"Director, let me go over there and take a look around. Can we separate?"
Compared with the outer city, although the inner city is smaller, the shops are denser.
Seeing that Hao Qiang was more interested in the ordinary goods on the other side, after thinking about it, Sumo nodded happily, and the two separated after agreeing on a time at the intersection.
Thanks to the fact that entering the inner city requires at least a green mark, and a third-level or above template is required.
The people wandering around and trading in the inner city are not only much stronger than those outside, but even the things sold in the shops are rarer.
If you walk into any store that sells weapons and armor, you can see rare old technology weapons directly on the wall cabinets.
Although the quality and treasure level can only be said to be average, for ordinary people, as long as they can own one or two pieces, it is definitely enough for self-protection!
In some shops selling imported goods, Sumo even saw "rare" items such as rice cookers, hand-held pesticide sprayers, water pumps, and miner's lamps that only humans can make and use.
"Master Hal, would you like two pieces?"
Seeing Sumo looking here and there in the store with a curious look on his face, he is responsible for sales and soliciting customers. The servant came up.
Because of the nature of the product and the fact that there is no market to draw from.
In the inner city, even the most common imported products cost over a thousand points.
And some high-tech electronic products are priced at nearly 10,000 points.
"Sold well, don't sell it again next time!"
Picked up something that looked like a mobile phone, and after seeing the price 48888 clearly below, Su Mo's hand trembled. He quickly put it back.
The Demon Soul Clan does not know how to use mobile phones and computers, which are good things that only humans can use.
But this does not prevent them from realizing the subtlety of these things and then marking a high price.
Currently, the purchase of mercenaries has consumed all the profits of Xinhuo Exchange during this period. Considering that the remaining funds need to be turned around and planned for the future.
He turned his head helplessly and strode out of the store.
“I don’t know where the Demon Soul Clan got these good things from, it’s really strange”
"If there were 8,000 people in the depression now, each with a steel gun, they might still be willing to rob, but now, we can only find ways to make more money!"
"Perhaps, Can I get in touch with the demon soul lord Shi Nin in advance?”
Remembering the name of the store selling imported goods, and thinking of the direction Shi Nin was responsible for, Somo continued to walk forward thoughtfully.
According to what the previous servant said.
This human being, who knows the location of the super-large human gathering place, has been selling it in the inner city of the Demon Soul Clan for many days, and many people have seen it, but they did not buy it because of the risk.
As the external steward of Liberty City on the surface and the lord of the Demon Soul Clan secretly, the Stone Ninja definitely knew the information about this person before this, and had even met him more than once.
But he didn’t buy it sooner or later. He bought it only after Hao Qiang came into contact with him and learned about this human gathering place.
The meaning revealed by this coincidence is intriguing enough.
"It's interesting. I didn't expect that before I even looked for this stone ninja, he was already thinking about looking for me. No, I'm afraid it's not Hal that he's looking for, but"
"In the depression, the human Su Shen!"
Based on the other party's motives and just a few guesses, Sumo analyzed the stone ninja's thoughts in detail.
Hal is in contact with the human Su Shen. This is news that everyone within the Demon Soul Clan knows.
Without knowing their strength and their past achievements, in the minds of these people, I am afraid that the strength of the depression is not lower than that of the Empire of Light, or even higher.
Already having a difficult enemy, the Demon Soul Clan will certainly not make any more enemies for themselves, lest they be attacked from both sides.
As for the lord Shi Nin, he wanted to make a comeback and regain the authority to control the Demon Soul Clan.
Not only does it require the cooperation of internal forces, but it also requires a reliable external ally to help it.
“The dwarves are currently expanding their territory at a high speed, relying on their numbers to grab more resources, and they definitely have no intention of paying attention to these messy things within the Demon Soul Clan.”
“The trees are too far away. They are far away, have arrogant personalities, and are difficult to negotiate and control. In addition, after they leave their own territory, their combat effectiveness is erratic, and they are not a good partner for cooperation."
"Among the several neighbors of the Demon Soul Clan, several After counting, it seems that only the depression is more suitable."
"And if you want to contact the depression, this stone ninja"
Thanks to the direct suppression of information, although the two of them had not met each other since their last separation, the stone ninja must have never imagined that they would not meet again before they met again.
All his motives were regarded as rotten by Sumo.
“It seems that my plan to occupy the dove nest can be started in advance!”
“As long as I save 20,000 survival points, I will immediately find a way to kill this stone ninja and replace him! ”
After thinking about this, Sumo instantly lost the intention to continue shopping.
After returning to the agreed place with Hao Qiang and continuing to think about some other details, the two met and started walking towards the outer city.
With the staff's advance processing, by the time Somo reached the city gate, seven mercenaries had been waiting for a long time.
Taking seven people with them, the group began their mighty return.
Wow!
The familiar test passed, and the shielding barrier of the inner city disappeared, revealing the original sky of the wasteland.
After some delay, it was now early six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time for the shops in the outer city to close.
Relying on the afterglow of the setting sun on the horizon, people are flowing in the Free City, people going home, and people leaving the city.
"How is it? Do you feel like you are new to life!"
The familiar yet unfamiliar scene seems like a world away to all the mercenaries.
Hearing Sumo's joking inquiry, everyone nodded numbly.
But as Sumo's next words came out, there was a faint glimmer in their eyes!
"Let's go home!"
Home.
For mercenaries, it is an unfamiliar term.
And for those of them who are born with hatred and a mission, it is an extremely luxurious word!
Seeing that Sumo had strode out, everyone paused, looked at the door stone behind them that was already emitting a faint light, and followed him briskly.
From the outside, they don’t seem to be much different from when they “leave the factory”.
But from their subtle movements and expressions, you can see a touch of spirituality that is extremely difficult to find in other mercenaries
!
“Shopkeeper, you are back!”
"These are"
Far away, seeing Somo coming back with seven new faces, the tree man in charge of cleaning had a glimmer of doubt in his eyes.
Subconsciously, he directly communicated the news directly in the mark.
However, unlike before, after he sends a message, the other party will reply instantly.
This time, even if Sumo walked into the exchange from far to near with a smile, there was still a pool of stagnant water in the mark!
For a moment, the tree man seemed to realize something, and the tree man was a little panicked.
But when he saw the seven new colleagues with the same smiles as Sumo, he cheered up and went up to them:
"You guys, you are new here, right? Let me introduce to you the rules of our exchange."
"Here it is"
"No, come in, I have something to announce!" Shuren was slightly trembling. Before the voice could even finish, Somo's words came out through the empty outer hall.
For just a moment, the tree man had not fully reacted and made any move.
In his sight, seven of his colleagues immediately surrounded him, with the strong intention of taking action immediately as the tree man wanted to leave.
Looking at the malicious eyes of these people, Shuren felt cold in his heart, but he still forced a smile that looked like crying on his face:
“What’s this, what’s this? Whatever we do, we are all our own!”
"Let's go, let's go, I'll lead the way!"
Like a kidnapped kidnapper, the moment the tree man entered the store, the mercenaries behind him quickly closed the door. The door bolt was lowered.
Being "escorted" all the way to the courtyard, looking at the other mercenaries already kneeling on the ground, the tree man's feet softened, and all the branches and leaves drooped down.
“Very good, eighteen people, our family has finally gathered together”
“Come on, tell us, who will you reveal our internal information to?” "My lord!"
"By the way, don't worry about asking for help from the people behind you. I think they should know better than you what the situation is now, right?"
On the way back with the mercenaries.
Suma did not choose a remote path, nor did he choose to act separately.
Where there are many people, he will lead seven people through there.
Wherever there is prosperity, he will deliberately take the long way back.
Along the way, when greeting some idle people, Su Mo didn't have the slightest scruple. He introduced these people to the "masters" who had spent a lot of money to buy them as if they were selling!
This performance has a very good effect.
As of now, eighteen people can still stand here, and no one has left.
It is a "choice" and "compromise" by the people behind it.
“I said, I said, Master Hal, please don’t kill me”
After sending a dozen messages in a row, I was sure that the other party had blocked me and there would be no reply.
The cook-turned-humans responsible for cooking immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed and worshiped, and kept begging.
“The person looking for us is a werewolf named Ha Jin. He promised to give three of us, each of us a hundred contribution points a day.”
“Our task is to report what the master has eaten. , where have you gone, and..."
Turner, who was standing aside, stepped forward suddenly: "And what?"
"And when necessary, set fire!"
Wow!
Hearing the word "arson", Sumo still felt a chill in his heart, even though he had already made some assumptions.
And marketing talents generally set fire to enemy warehouses.
Obviously, the other party also knows the weakness of Xinhuo Exchange.
Relying on their status as cooks, as long as the three transformed people make a slight mistake, the whole room will instantly turn into a sea of fire.
All the materials stored in the front hall warehouse will also be reduced to ashes along with the sea of fire!
At that time, in the consciousness of the three mercenaries, Hal and Turner, who had no money and status, were just ordinary third-order template owners.
Of course the big man behind them can use strong means to protect them!
"Master, we are also willing to recruit. The person who hires us is"
Three mercenaries opened their mouths.
Others did not hesitate to resist. They were like pouring beans through a bamboo tube, clearly explaining their collusion with outsiders.
Seventeen people, there are a total of eleven families behind them.
While the first few people were talking, the seven mercenaries they had just bought were still able to stabilize their mentality.
But later on, when the methods revealed by these people became more and more "cruel", even they couldn't help but have murderous intent in their eyes.
The three people responsible for maintaining order are usually responsible for recording the latest activity information of the exchange and delivering it in a timely manner. At critical moments, they collude with those who are interested in causing trouble directly.
The five people who organize the entry and exit of goods are usually responsible for recording and reporting the sales of goods. They are responsible for replacing goods at critical moments, passing them off as good ones, and even stealing valuable goods, which has caused credibility problems for Xinhuo Exchange.
The five people who guard the facade and are responsible for recruiting and receiving guests are usually responsible for sorting out and reporting the membership list of Xinhuo Exchange. At critical moments, they transfer copies of contracts stolen and placed in the store, and make huge profits from them!
When it came to the two people responsible for cleaning the courtyard, their methods were even more ruthless.
On weekdays, they are responsible for snooping for information and reporting truthfully to their superiors what the two said and did.
At the critical moment, they will take action directly, responsible for poisoning and destroying all evidence of crime!
Like an all-round attack, eighteen people surrounded the entire exchange and the people living in it.
With the convenience of imprint communication, what did the people living inside say in the last second.
The next second, they may overhear it and report it to the people behind.
“Very good, very good, you are really good!”
Recording everyone's crimes on paper, looking at these "bloody" words, Turner shivered with anger, and his face twitched involuntarily.
“I ask you, since you don’t know who the big shots behind these people are?”
“Why did you choose to betray us!”
“That’s what you do Do you believe they can protect you?"
Faced with Turner's angry question, all eighteen people remained silent.
A huge gamble, with freedom and wealth on one side and life and death on the other.
From beginning to end, these gamblers cannot be blamed for making wrong choices.
To blame, we can only blame Xinhuo Exchange for rising too late, or in other words, rising too "early".
Who would have thought that a secondary shelter with no backstage and no money could rank among the top twenty in just one week.
Who would have thought that Hal, who originally failed to explore the depression, could miraculously continue to get on the line and become a close business partner, worthy of the Guardian's investment.
"Okay, Turner, let's send them on their way!"
"If they die in this gambling game, someone will naturally come to pay off their gambling debts!"
Collapse record Evidence of everyone's guilt. After looking back and taking a deep look at everyone present, Somo activated the restriction from his mark.
As the master of a group of mercenaries, under the restrictions of authority, everyone instantly lost control of their bodies and turned into lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
With full anger, Turner licked his lips and stepped forward with a machete in hand.
As the first ray of sword light fell and looking at the blood spraying everywhere, Sumo nodded, and the seven mercenaries followed him sensibly.
“You don’t have to worry!”
“From now on, we are a family!”
“Those who betray me, even if they flee to the ends of the earth, I will never I will catch up with him personally and take back the life I gave him"
"But for those who are loyal to me, I will give him freedom, give him strength, and help him fulfill all his wishes!"
Carrots and sticks are always the best way to control people.
Listening to the screams coming from behind, all the mercenaries shrank their heads, with fear in their eyes.
However, just when Somo was about to continue speaking, someone knocked on the closed door, making a clanging sound.
“So fast?”
At this time, the person who can knock on the door will definitely not be an ordinary trader.
When he thought that the mercenaries behind him had only dealt with two of them, but the people to pay gambling debts were already at the door, Su Mo frowned and motioned to Hao Qiang, who was standing beside him, to open the door.
Wow!
The door bolt was lowered and the door was slowly pushed open from the outside.
Looking at the two faces that appeared at the door, Sumo was stunned for a moment, and a bright smile instantly bloomed on Somo's face.
“Oh, this is a rare visitor!”
"Manager Shi, hurry up, please come in, please come in!"
