Chapter 17 Chapter 16 Necromancer

The mercenary registration system was far more complicated than Zhuang Xuteng thought.

"In addition to being a middleman, I am also your mercenary guarantor. Your real name and identity information will be placed with me. I will only disclose it if you cause big trouble and the middlemen including me think you need to be responsible.

Your real information. You usually use other names when receiving entrustments."

Lucy pointed at herself and said: "When I save your information, you have a little need to protect me. Your information, as well as the information of other mercenaries who chose me as a guarantor, they are not kept with me, but

It's in a very safe place. If I'm murdered and some other requirements are met, that information will be made public."

Zhuang Xuteng frowned and scratched his head.

"You don't quite understand, do you? Let me put it in a more straightforward way." Lucy said: "The middleman takes a commission from the mission, and of course he is afraid of being killed by mercenaries who are interested in making money, so he needs some safety guarantee. The mercenary's personal

The information may be important, but it’s not that serious, but you can’t ignore it completely, so it becomes a just right guarantee.”

Zhuang Xuteng nodded and closed his mouth tightly.

"Oops, I forgot to give you a signal." Ge Gongdao patted Zhuang Xuteng's thigh and said, "You can speak now."

"I understand." Zhuang Xuteng said.

Lucy narrowed her eyes. She noticed that Zhuang Xuteng liked to read comics, and was worried that his intelligence might not keep up with his age, or that there was a risk of cynicism hidden in his character. Although she was recommended and guaranteed by Ge Gongdao, she did not

I don't dare to be completely reassured.

"Do you really understand? For the sake of safety, I'd better explain it clearly." Lucy said: "If the middleman is in danger, the mercenaries guaranteed by him will come to the rescue to prevent everyone from knowing his identity.

.Although each middleman guarantees different mercenaries, in general, middlemen and mercenaries can achieve a balance through this method."

Zhuang Xuteng thought for a moment and said, "But the mercenaries don't know the middleman's information, so it's not equal."

"In my opinion, middlemen can only arrange tasks, but mercenaries have guns in their hands, and those with guns are the stronger ones. You see, different results can be interpreted from different angles." Lucy said: "No one can

We don’t expect the law or the PCPD to mediate the problem. And after the gods leave, we no longer have the power above our heads responsible for karma, and we can only..."

Ge Gongdao snorted and added: "Karma is like the conscience of a liar."

Lucy ignored Ge Gongdao and continued to say to Zhuang Xuteng: "The only thing left is to take care of each other and contain each other."

"I completely understand now." Zhuang Xuteng nodded vigorously and asked, "My only request is not to involve my family, even when things get bad or get out of hand."

"I will give you this guarantee, but after all, I am just a weak woman and cannot fight against the whole world." Lucy blew out the smoke, put down the cigarette, handed him a form, and said: "Fill in your information here.

, don’t lie to me. Also, think of a name for yourself.”

"Detective." Zhuang Xuteng patted the comic book in his pocket and said, "I have always wanted to be a detective."

"This name is not good, the PCPD will give you trouble. There are also some separate letters, such as V, D, etc. It has already been used by some legendary mercenaries or middlemen, so it is best not to choose it. In the end

It's better not to give yourself silly names, such as Fool, Rookie, etc."

"Then let me think about it." Zhuang Xuteng began to think.

The first thing that came into his mind was Pink Skull. It sounded mysterious and dangerous, so it was a good nickname. However, he was worried that the characteristics of "Pink Skull" were too obvious. Both Hill and Dr. Booker had seen pink skulls.

Once they hear it and then associate it, it may lead to unnecessary risks.

At this time, a term emerged from his mind: Necromancer.

Pink skull, is that you? Is this your name?

Zhuang Xuteng asked the question in his heart, and vaguely heard the shadow's response. Its voice was weak, as if a dying person was struggling against fate.

"The reputation of Lord of the Dead is now in your hands. I hope you can..."

The sound in the front was like a dream chant, and the sound in the back could not be heard. Zhuang Xuteng was a little worried and quickly asked: "Since it is a prestigious name, will it be known to others and attract unnecessary attention?"

After several seconds, he finally gave a weak answer: "No one who knows my reputation exists anymore."

"What benefits will you give me if I use the name you chose?"

Perhaps because he was angry, or perhaps because he really didn't have the strength to reply, the pink skeleton responded to him with silence.

"Don't you have any ideas?" Lucy urged: "If you can't think of it, I have a suggestion, how about it's called Bookworm?"

This is a metaphor for Zhuang Xuteng's love of reading comic books. He shook his head and said, "I thought of one called Necromancer."

"This name is okay. No one uses it now. Even if someone used it before, it was not famous, at least not legendary." Lucy thought about it carefully, nodded, and then asked: "Purely out of curiosity,

I'd like to know what you mean by this term, psychic or witch?"

"It's a Necromancer. His name can have an abbreviation, N·E·C."

"This name is very fancy." Ge Gongdao said: "I am your partner, and I call you by your name most often. I have to say uh... uh... every time. Not only is it troublesome, but it also delays things."

"You pronounced it like this on purpose, right?" Zhuang Xuteng was almost amused and said, "Use Naike, this pronunciation is faster."

"Okay, I feel like Necromancer is much better. Necromancer sounds like it makes people's skin crawl."

Lucy chuckled lightly, and after asking which two words it was, she slowly said: "Naike also means a helpless person who refuses to admit defeat and is still working hard. This is a good code name. It seems that you have not studied in vain.

."

"I didn't think that far ahead. It was a complete coincidence." Zhuang Xuteng quickly filled out the mercenary registration form in front of him, then suddenly thought of something and asked: "What is Brother Dao's registration number?"

It was obviously a common question, but Lucy laughed unexpectedly: "Haha, you finally asked! Let him tell you, you pure unlucky guy!"

Ge Gongdao snorted and said: "It's nothing to laugh about, it's just bad luck. My mercenary codename is White Wolf - I wanted Black Wolf, but someone took it away..."

"Get to the point!" Lucy said.

"I had just completed my registration at that time, and before I could complete my first commission, my guarantee intermediary was killed. He was handing over the task at the time. Judging from the scene, the person who killed him was probably another mercenary whom he had registered to guarantee.

, so this meets the conditions for understanding the details of the mercenary." Ge Gongdao spread his hands and said: "So I became well-known on the third day of becoming a mercenary."

Lucy continued: "There is no point in re-registering the name after that, so he can only use his real name. He has gone through some ups and downs, but so far, he is doing well, and many people are willing to call him Brother Dao."

"Not bad? I'm as good as a newbie now."

"This is just a temporary setback." Lucy said to Zhuang Xuteng: "N... Naike, follow him and learn more. Every mercenary who can take on the task has his own skills. Brother Dao's experience and knowledge are more than ordinary people.

It’s enough for you to learn for a while.”

"I will study hard." Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said.

"As long as you have the heart to do so! Is the registration form filled out? Let me take a look." Lucy took a general look and said: "It's best not to leave the specialty area blank. Well... can you drive?"

"Yes, but I don't have a driver's license." Zhuang Xuteng said, "I have driven trucks and forklifts in the factory."

"It's not enough. You need to be able to drive a high-speed vehicle or a motorcycle." Lucy said: "Let me test your physical talent and ability, which will be good for your future development. Normally, the cost of a single test is 400 euros.

But you are lucky, I just have a set of testers in hand to see if it works well, so you can be a tester without paying."

Just when Zhuang Xuteng was about to agree, Ge Gongdao rushed to say, "Isn't this right? As Naike is the tester, you have to pay him!"

"No money." Lucy crossed her legs and said: "You like comics, just take any books and comics on the shelf here and treat it as payment for you. I can also help you pay attention to tasks suitable for novices, especially

It’s the kind that comes with training, what do you think?”

"Hurry up and agree!" Ge Gongdao urged.

"Thank you, Sister Lucy." Zhuang Xuteng said quickly.

"That sounds really nice. I'll call you that from now on."

Ge Gongdao chuckled and was immediately kicked by Lucy. No matter how Zhuang Xuteng asked him why, he shook his head and did not answer. After a while, Lucy pulled out a silver aluminum-shell handbag from the inside.

Put the box on the table in the middle of the sunken living room and open it.

"Why use a lie detector?" Zhuang Xuteng was a little confused.

"Poly detector? This is not a lie detector." Lucy was confused and asked, "Have you ever seen this thing?"

"The PCPD used it on me during the interrogation. They had to attach wires to my body, including my wrists and ankles, my neck and my heart, and eight more to my head." Zhuang Xuteng probably understood where he was wrong, and said: "This

It’s not a lie detector, right?”

Ge Gongdao rubbed his chin and said: "This is the PY5B special ability detector. Lucy, to tell you the truth, the PCPD did use this thing on all of us. Nike, did they test any abilities for you at that time?

?”

"I didn't say anything." Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said, "If this thing can measure special abilities, then it should show that I have a zombie constitution, and I should be questioned in depth, right?"

"You have a zombie constitution? Why didn't you indicate it in the information?" Lucy pinched her waist and asked.

"I didn't want to take on the zombie job anymore, which would be equivalent to handing over my life, so I didn't write it."

Ge Gongdao patted his leg and said: "Your idea is right. You should indeed make this determination. Destiny is mainly controlled by..."

"Don't be ridiculous. All your wise words are copied from others." Lucy looked at Zhuang Xuteng and said, "PY5B shouldn't be able to measure your physique. What does this mean?"
