All the strangers in Black Gate City suddenly didn’t know whether they should be excited or scared.
What was exciting was that it turned out that Mr. Ye actually had some backup plans and had made a plan with the new president.
Does this mean we won’t be at the mercy of others like last time?
What I'm afraid of is...
Damn it, this thing actually fell into the hands of the president. He could definitely light it on fire just for fun...
However, just when the strangers in Black Gate City suddenly fell into a deep panic, Xiao Xiao had already left the nursing home, took a taxi, and walked towards his home, silently thinking on the way.
: "With this bomb, I do have a trump card, and I feel a lot more confident, but there is no doubt that this trump card is not enough..."
"What's enough?"
"..."
The answer is actually very simple, it is still a matter of strength.
The strength of the hell organization is more than one level stronger than that of Black Gate City. Previously, strong men like the old president were killed under their siege. As the new president, his actual points are not even as high as
Ten thousand, how can I play with them?
Perhaps, the people in the Hell Organization are indeed interesting, and they may even develop a true friendship with themselves.
But the strength of both parties is not at the same level, so how can I be qualified to sit on the same card table as others?
However, if I want to achieve my own upgrade in a short period of time, how is it possible?
I don’t even know how to carry out the fourth stage of strengthening now.
The strengthening of strangers is all like this. Whether it is a strong person, a hunter, or an insight, through points, you can easily complete the first three stages of promotion with the intervention of the city's will, but after completing the first three stages,
If you want to continue, it won't be that easy. You need some specific special items that are possessed by this city and have terrifying power.
In other words, there are basically no stocks of such things in the city.
Of course, even if there were, I wouldn't be able to complete it myself, and I wouldn't know where to get tens of thousands of points.
Therefore, if I want to improve my strength in a short time, there is only one direction...
Betting on dogs!
...Oh no, Collector!
…
I am a bastard on the insight route, and my own strength is limited. If I want to fight against aberrant creatures or other strangers, I often have to rely on the ability of special items. I am already very familiar with this, but what is in front of me
There are two choices: one is to find more special items and add them to your collection. The other is to continue to strengthen your collection...
Xiao Xiao soon eliminated the first option.
First, it is difficult to find, and second, even if you find it, it has a terrible price based on its quality.
So, there is only the second option?
After passing this second option, Xiao Xiao thought about it carefully:
The three dogs have been strengthened twice and are now his right-hand assistants. If they continue to be strengthened, the risk is a bit high.
The record player lady is too mysterious.
In fact, she was the most suspected of the Hidden Compass, but Xiao Xiao didn't think it was credible.
If it was her, it would be too easy to guess. How could she deserve the word "secret" in the name "Secret Compass"?
Moreover, her role has always been auxiliary, not obvious enough.
Of course, the most important reason is that she has been working hard. How can I discourage her enthusiasm?
Then your options are simple.
Butcher!
…
…
The Butcher is the one that he needs the most strengthening points on hand right now. To strengthen it once, it costs 10,000 points.
This sounds scary, but Xiao Xiao still remembers the sudden burst of terror when he entered the Kingdom of Decay. At that time, he even saw him automatically completing the second stage of strengthening without even knowing it.
, I also analyzed it carefully afterwards, and felt that it should be some kind of thing or phenomenon in the Kingdom of Decay, which suddenly touched his own potential.
These special things and phenomena are not difficult to guess.
After all, the butcher is the one who understands the past best and can empathize with him the most among the three special things.
Although, I am most afraid of him.
Moreover, in the Butcher's explanation, it was also mentioned that if he strengthens it again, there may be very terrifying changes. However, if you think about it carefully, the Hell Organization has already invaded the city, and the entire Black Gate City is in panic. What else can be better than this?
horrible?
Do you really want to be the kind of dog gambler who must be forced into a desperate situation and only put all your money into it?
no.
He must prepare for this huge gamble now.
Therefore, the next step is to consider strengthening the butcher.
After the strengthening was successful, I had the confidence to sit at the same poker table with the captain of the Hell Organization and the presidents of other stranger organizations.
The reinforcement failed, and Black Gate City was almost gone without the Hell Organization taking action.
…
…
After thinking about these things, Xiao Xiao made a phone call and asked softly:
"did you find it?"
"..."
"No……"
The rabbit's ears were long and full of frustration: "Brother, you can punish me, you can use a whip or a candle..."
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking that this is obviously a reward for you...
But the voice still sounded very gentle: "Why?"
"This person is just like a rabbit. He can't be found in the city..."
Rabbit Ears said: "In order to investigate him, I sent out all the most capable people under my command to investigate his company, his business, and his marital status. These are all easy to find. They are all on the surface.
However, whenever I investigate further, I always encounter an invisible resistance, as if there is a mysterious force that doesn't want me to find out these things..."
"Um……"
Xiao Xiao was silent for a moment and said: "Don't use the word rabbit, after all he is my dad."
Rabbit's ears were stunned for a moment, and he asked tentatively: "How can the relationship between father and son be so deep?"
"I just feel a little uncomfortable with it."
Xiao Xiao said: "In this case, you can do me another favor first."
Rabbit Ears quickly cheered up: "Okay, which relative should we investigate this time?"
"Not relatives."
Xiao Xiao was helpless and explained softly: "I want you to help me investigate the twisted, paranoid, and disgusting monsters in Black Gate City, or the underground world. Maybe some of them are copper-smelting addicts, and maybe some of them are serial killers."
, maybe a human trafficker, maybe... in short, find anyone with such characteristics and give me the information... try to have as much evidence as possible."
Rabbit ears were shocked: "Why?"
Xiao Xiao smiled and said into the microphone: "Because I've been a little bored recently and want to do an experiment with them?"
He didn't even notice that when he said these words as if no one was watching, the taxi driver in the front row trembled.
Rabbit Ears was also deeply shocked.
After a long while, he sighed with emotion: "I have always wanted to learn your special temperament, but you are really gifted..."
…
…
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Xiao asked the taxi driver to turn around and go to the hospital, where he chatted with his mother for a while.
Then he went downstairs again and returned to his home.
The alley was dark and quiet. The record player girl was probably working in the bar at this time, so there was no movement. Two of the three thorn dogs still waggled their tails excitedly when they saw Xiao Xiao, while Erha looked up.
Looking at Xiao Xiao's hand, he saw that it was empty, so he tilted his head and lay down. Xiao Xiao then touched the two dog heads affectionately, and then came to the butcher shop at the end of the alley.
The butcher had already closed, but there was a faint fluorescent light coming from the window next to the rolling shutter door, indicating that he was not asleep yet.
Xiao Xiao slowly approached the window, thinking about something to talk about with the butcher.
But when he got close to the window, he suddenly found that the butcher was standing inside the window, looking at him steadily.
I was slightly shocked, but my face remained calm.
The two looked at each other through a rusty window. Xiao Xiao looked at the butcher's cold eyes and suddenly realized that he didn't actually need to talk to him. As an observer, he could clearly feel that the butcher was
He didn't care about anything, he didn't even care about the subtle bond between himself and him, he didn't care about what he wanted him to do and what the consequences would be.
There was only vague anticipation in his eyes, wanting to know what would be cut next.
"Ding……"
At this moment, a message entered the mobile phone. The efficiency of the rabbit headset was quite high:
[First floor, No. 154, Dongqing Lane, Zhongcheng District. Crime: Kidnapping two female high school students and imprisoning them to death. He was arrested by the Security Bureau, but was released due to lack of evidence. Afterwards, when he was drunk, he boasted to others: There was no evidence, it was because of him
Eat all the evidence.]
[We investigated him, but we really couldn’t find any evidence.]
【……】
【……】
Xiao Xiao held his breath slightly and said nothing. He just picked up the phone and handed it to the butcher.
The butcher's breathing suddenly became heavier.
He stared deeply at the screen, wrote down the content, then nodded and turned to leave.
Xiao Xiao heard the sound of a chainsaw being picked up inside.
…
…
After taking a few steps back, Xiao Xiao turned around and returned home with a strange thought in his heart.
He knew that he was doing something that had never happened before, but he didn't know if he was releasing a devil or something else.
He just patiently returned home, found the ingredients, and silently prepared a midnight snack.
About twenty minutes passed, and when he was sitting at the dining table, preparing to enjoy his late-night snack, a message suddenly flashed across his face:
[Specially dangerous things: bloody butcher]
[Hazard level: B]
[It is detected that the painful substance is increasing, yes/no to strengthen it]
[Enhancement amount: 9500 points]
【……】
"It turns out it's really possible..."
Xiao Xiao suddenly felt a little better, put down his phone and picked up his chopsticks.
But at this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang, and the rabbit-eared voice was shocked and excited: "Brother, what are you doing?"
"After you asked me just now, I immediately arranged for people to keep an eye on the murderer. Unexpectedly, just after my people passed by, I heard that the guy had been killed. His whole body was dismembered and even cut into flesh.
Jiang, is this your fault..."
"..."
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Xiao interrupted her and said politely: "I'm having a midnight snack."
"Don't disturb me yet."
"..."
There was suddenly silence on the other end of the phone, except for a gasping "hiss" sound...
