Meeting the big fox in Lao Yao's office at noon on Friday was not the only thing that made Zheng Qing feel bad that day.
night.
During the Seven Deadly Sins gathering, he received another disturbing news.
The current 'Mammon' received a commission from the previous 'Mammon', hoping that the Seven Deadly Sins could obtain some biological information of the great elves through the school's channels.
As an organization with loose management and strict rules, under normal circumstances, most of the time, only the guilty ones among the Seven Deadly Sins will have access to information entrusted by external tasks, while the devils in the organization will only do "intelligence exchange"
'Resource sharing' kind of thing.
A more appropriate example is that Seven Deadly Sins is like a coffee shop. Every member is a customer who comes to drink coffee. Everyone can hear the chatter of other guests in the room and can see the task information listed on the small blackboard behind the bar.
But there is no strict obligation to do anything. It's just like those coffee shops that have been running for a long time. After the customers get familiar with the store manager, they sometimes bring their own snacks and drinks to the store to share with others. The seven deadly sins are not
Restrict members from publishing external delegates.
Sometimes, Zheng Qing feels that the operation model of the Seven Deadly Sins is somewhat similar to the business model of CAA (Innovative Artist Agency) in the United States - flat management, equal cooperation, and client list sharing - each member of the Seven Deadly Sins
Members of the organization can make the entire organization serve them; each member also provides their own resources to the entire organization.
More importantly, this loose management model gives many old members who have withdrawn from the Seven Deadly Sins an opportunity to disconnect. They can maintain indirect contact with the Seven Deadly Sins through the relationship between the 'predecessor and the successor'. Similarly, for the Seven Deadly Sins,
Crime provides indirect support.
Like a spider web.
The Seven Deadly Sins are the "vertical threads" that form the core skeleton, and the retired members from generation to generation are the "horizontal threads" that spread outward, forming a loose and flexible organization.
Back to business.
The orange light only illuminated the withered bonsai in the center of the table, and the black cat squatting next to the bonsai - Zheng Qing certainly did not let the black gem cat come to such a risky place for him - the ceiling was upside down.
The hanging candles were clustered together, of different lengths, spitting out golden candlelight, and making a beeping sound in the quiet room from time to time.
Around the oval conference table, the figures of seven "devils" are shrouded in the dancing shadows of candlelight. Only the masks that hide their ears and bells appear particularly clear.
Just like the black cat still wears its mask that looks like a shelled egg, although other devils are now accustomed to using transformation to hold meetings, they have not lost the fine tradition of wearing masks.
As if a mask is not enough to bring them a sense of security.
"The word 'acquisition' is a bit subtle."
Samael, who has always been a man of few words, was unexpectedly the first to speak after hearing Mammon's new commission. He commented in his rough and harsh voice: "——It sounds like the predecessor Mammon did not recommend that we use a certain method.
Some coercive measures?”
Maybe it’s because cats and dogs are in conflict with each other.
After hearing what Samael said, the Persian cat Ms. Leviathan, who was sitting diagonally across from him, let out a clear and melodious laugh: "Huh? Forced? Do you know where those big elves live?"
"It's really not a good idea to attack the guests of Qingqiu Mansion." The white-skinned and black-flowered piglet Beelzebub added his point of view with a grunt.
"Guest or host, you can't tell." Lucifer, wearing a bat mask, tightened his broad fleshy wings, and the sound generator under his jaw emitted a low trill.
The black cat listened silently to the devils' discussion.
Until everyone shuts up.
Only then did it tentatively ask its first question: "——Listen to everyone, those big elves that Mamen is talking about are the three little fox girls that Qingqiu Mansion sent to Fringe Academy a few days ago?"
He pronounced the word 'little fox girl' very clearly.
He couldn't help but feel flustered.
You know, because of the fear that these little guys would be coveted by wizards with evil intentions, and because their identities have not yet been fully certified by the alliance, Zheng Su 123 entered the Fringe Academy as a member of the Qingqiu clan.
But it seems that many people know their true identities?
The devils in the shadows all looked at the black cat squatting in the middle of the table, their eyes full of meaning.
"Dear Sinner," Asmode, the black goat with shiny fur, said in a smooth voice similar to its fur: "Have you ever seen a fox with wings and no tail?"
The black cat twitched its ears.
"——I don't rule out that he is a child of a vassal family of Qingqiu," it laughed dryly, and threw out the excuse it had prepared: "How can a serious Qingqiu bloodline go to a place like Fringe Academy?"
Kaka.
The parrot-like peacock clicked its beak and made an impatient sound.
"Don't waste time on this kind of thing."
Belphegor waved his wings and glanced at the black cat with disdain: "Since our sinner wants to pretend to be stupid, he will continue to pretend...haven't you always said that you are the cat of the relevant department? Don't the relevant departments know,
Did Qingqiu submit the identity authentication materials of those great elves to the alliance? This matter has spread throughout the alchemist circle! A new magical race was born in the school. You don’t know about this, or, your previous
The waistcoat is fake - which is not unexpected in the first place - or you are pretending to be stupid to test everyone's identity."
"There is another possibility. Our sinner has a limited level and really doesn't know about this." Beelzebub suddenly flashed his wide pig ears and looked at the black cat with evil intentions.
"——It can directly connect the great elf mentioned in this mission with the three freshmen at Fringe Academy. Does he know about this? I was suddenly curious as to why he would try to cover up this matter. Still using it like this
Clumsy method." Mammon hugged her fluffy red fox tail, squinted her eyes, and examined the black cat.
Under the mask, Black Cat's expression was a little stiff.
These guys are really extremely sensitive.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Samael let out a warning whimper in his throat and looked around: "——Mammon's mission, how much is the reward? Is there a time requirement? Do we accept it?"
The red fox immediately corrected his attitude: "The conditions given by my predecessor were very loose, saying that as long as the task is completed, the reward can be mentioned when the goods are delivered. If jade coins are needed, one drop of blood can pay one hundred jade coins."
Black Cat clearly heard the sound of more than one devil swallowing saliva.
This suddenly made him feel a little tired - why are he surrounded by such nonsense! Why do the Seven Deadly Sins always receive such commissions - last time it was him, this time it was his own elf, what about next time? Are they?
Do you still want to pick out your own dog’s hair?
