Chapter 38 Annihilation Bomb
Just when Ji Xun entered the dark rain street black market, a team of people had been squatting here for several days.
This is an elite team of the Blackwater Mercenary Group that is good at hunting.
They received a death order to find the two spell card apprentices who had previously cleared the 407 space.
There are many such pursuit teams in Innocence City, but wherever there are many people, there are almost always people arranged by the Cao family of the Governor's Mansion.
However, this is already the fourth day.
The smell was impossible to distinguish, and the only appearance was that of a gas mask. At present, the only reliable physical characteristic is probably height, but that thing can make a big difference just by changing a pair of shoes.
With just this clue, it is almost impossible to find these two people in the vast crowd of innocent people.
In a small shop with a black curtain in the black market on Anyu Street, there is a signboard of "Harley Motorcycle Modification Shop".
At this moment, the atmosphere in the store was a bit depressed, and the five people were discussing something.
A strong man with the courage sequence [Ace of Hearts - Bright Knight], a legal red-haired woman with the elemental sequence [8 of Clubs - Elemental Controller], a bespectacled man with the healing sequence [3 of Hearts - Physician], and... There is a fallen sequence [2 of Hearts-Ranger] Hooded Man who is good at machinery and trace tracking.
One battle, one magic, one doctor, and one ranger, this is usually the standard configuration of an elite mercenary team.
Then there is a white-haired old woman in a black robe, minding her own business, turning over playing cards.
They have been squatting in the black market for several days.
Considering that the target had obtained some rare treasures in space 407, which might be sold in the black market, their team was arranged to stay here.
It’s not their fault that they didn’t squat originally, it could only be their bad luck.
But this time the Cao family issued a death order.
If you don’t squat down, many people will die.
“This mission is really impossible to complete, and I didn’t say exactly who I’m looking for, nor what I’m looking for.”
“Yes. Can I give you what I’m looking for? You’re sure! I’m just looking for two people, how can I find them?”
"Stop complaining. It's better to pray that we can find it. Otherwise, as you know, the deputy commander of the regiment hasn't heard anything for several days. It is said that Fourth Master Cao has been very angry since he came back from Devil's Crossing. , The house has executed several personal maids in the past few days."
"."
The more they squatted, the more angry they became, but there was nothing they could do.
“Captain, do you think it’s true that our Black Water Regiment has been included as a non-staff member of the Governor’s Mansion? Although we used to get paid to do things, at least we could choose which tasks to take on, and we were happy and comfortable. But what about now? Hehe, he is basically a dog of the Cao family. When it is useful, it is not a pity to die. There is no turning back.”
"Yes. The leader's choice is right. Now that the old continent has been discovered, even the nobles of the Federation are jealous of the treasures in the ruins. The major councilor families will gradually stretch their hands. It's not like you don't know the means and strength of those people. We know that Innocence City will fall under federal control sooner or later. The leader also hopes that we will have a legal status to go ashore in the future."
"Hey"
Several people in the room were confused by this. silence.
At this time, the warrior captain turned to look at the old woman who was using tarot cards to divine fortune, and asked: "Miss Bai, how is the fortune telling?"
This is the one This mission is their only hope of finding someone.
Physical tracking can no longer find clues, so we can only rely on mystery and supernatural beings.
Hearing this, the old woman also looked helpless and shook her head.
Those are a pair of clear and shiny eyes, but they are in great contrast with the old face.
She is a very rare spell card master sequence, a wisdom sequence [5 of Hearts-Prophet]. The devil's mark points to the great demon Ramo, which also gives her some abilities to predict the future.
They were originally retainers of the Governor Cao family, but now they are also arranged to look for 407 together.
The old woman then added: "The vaguer the clues to the divination target, the lower the probability of the divination result."
After a pause, she gestured to the gold poker in her hand and said: "And this Grade II relic is The cost of using it is very high. My life span can only last five times at most, and I won’t be able to help you by then.”
“.”
Hearing this, in addition. Several people also looked dim and didn't say much.
In the past four days, they watched the fortune teller transform from a black-haired girl to the current white-haired old woman.
In other words, using that relic cost her decades of life.
But even so, we still have to continue divination.
They knew very well that the Cao family might have lost something very important this time. If they really couldn't find it, no one would be able to survive.
But the divination ability is also very limited.
Not only does it consume lifespan, that relic can only lock onto a target within a kilometer range.
In other words, they can only wait in the dark rain street black market.
If the target doesn't come near here, it's impossible to divine it.
It’s just a blind cat waiting for a mouse to die.
Having been waiting for four days, the original few people had given up hope.
The despair is still spreading on the faces of several team members.
But suddenly, a turning point appeared!
The old woman turned over several new cards, and the cards 10 of hearts, J, Q, K, and A appeared in succession.
Flush!
This represents a "miracle" in poker divination. This means that the target person is within one kilometer nearby.
The old woman was stunned for a moment when she saw this sorting, and then she looked overjoyed: "I found it! He is nearby!"
Hearing this, several people in the room suddenly became excited and rushed out of the store.
Ji Xun knew that the eldest son of the Cao family would never give up looking for him.
So no matter where he is, he remains alert enough.
If he was looking for someone based on clues, Ji Xun felt that he was well hidden and would be almost impossible to find again.
But this is a world of extraordinary abilities.
Ji Xun already knows that among the fifty-two spell card master sequences, several sequences have some metaphysical abilities, such as [5 of Hearts-Prophet].
Although spell card masters who are proficient in divination are extremely rare, he feels that with the strength of the Cao family, they should still be able to find a few.
So as long as conditions permit, Ji Xun will use [Clown Mask] from time to time.
The mask has immunity from arcane spells.
And it was because of this caution that he once again sensed a crisis in advance.
Just now, when he was chatting with the boss about breathing techniques at the "Silver Star Mystery Shop", he suddenly saw this line of "Mystery Spell Exemption" prompt.
This means that someone nearby may be predicting himself.
And, maybe you have locked your position through some means!
The shop owner also keenly caught the sudden sharpness in the expression of the customer in front of him, and narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what happened.
In his opinion, no one should be stupid enough to rob someone on the black market.
Ji Xun's first reaction may be that he fell into a trap set in advance, starting from the time he met the woman before and ending here.
But immediately, he denied this conjecture.
Ji Xun was certain that the mysterious technique just now had nothing to do with the shop owner in front of him.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the dim street outside. He thought of something. Instead of running away in a hurry, he asked: "Boss, do you have [Annihilation Magic Bullets] here?"
This is a high-end curse-patterned bullet that has been mentioned by hunters. The production process is extremely complex, and it has a strong magic-breaking effect. It can cause fatal damage to official spell card masters.
The price is more than 10,000 per piece.
But you can’t buy it in ordinary stores.
At least, Ji Xun has never seen it in any of the gun shops he visited before.
As for the black market shop in front of you, there is a high probability of it.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper looked at Qi Xunlai carefully for the third time.
He is not just a black market boss, but the deacon of Hong Lou, the largest gang in Innocence City.
There have been countless readers over the years, who hasn’t seen it?
But just for a moment, he felt that the guest in front of him seemed to be a different person, and he suddenly became awe-inspiring.
The person introduced by the lady is interesting.
The shopkeeper murmured something in his heart, looked at Ji Xun and said, "Yes."
He didn't know why Ji Xun wanted the bullet, but the murderous intent he had inadvertently revealed just now had already explained something.
The killing intent was not directed at him, but from outside the street.
He asked with great interest: "How many do you want?"
Ji Xun replied: "I need six."
The shop owner didn't say much, and with a wave of his hand, six special bullets as black as ink were placed on the table, without even mentioning the price.
Ji Xun looked over and saw mysterious and complex incantations engraved all over the bullet. It felt like six poisonous snake teeth, cold and deadly.
He directly loaded the bullets into the revolver. There were two guns, one loaded with an annihilation bomb every other shot, and the other loaded with three bullets every two rounds.
The shop owner looked at it with interest and thought: Someone will be in trouble with this filling method.
He didn’t say anything, and ran away with the things without fear.
Six [Annihilation Bombs] cost 120,000, and Ji Xun had no cash in his hand.
Of course he also saw that the demeanor of the shop owner in front of him was anything but ordinary, and said: "I don't have any cash, can I use these things as collateral first?"
As he said that, he took A stack of cards that 407 brought out before came out.
The shop owner didn't even take a look at the cards, and readily agreed: "Of course. In fact, just the name you mentioned before is enough."
"Thank you."
Ji Xun didn't hesitate, turned around and left the shop.
Now that I have been exposed, it doesn’t matter what the cards are.
Looking at the figure leaving the store, the middle-aged man looked thoughtful.
Sometimes, it is more accurate to judge people not only by their current strength, but also by the details that are inadvertently revealed when faced with danger.
Intuition told him that the young man just now was very different.
