Chapter 111: 【Conspiracy】and【The Intestine Hunter】(4k, third update, requesting subscriptions for the 10,000-word daily goal)
Bai Cangshu leaned against the window of the second-floor office in the white industrial park; Lin Qinfu, his wrists wrapped in thick bandages, stood at the doorway with his head bowed.
"I have followed your instructions, stopped the flesh-peddling and telecommunications operations, dismissed some of the personnel, and transferred the remaining staff to the liquor business..."
Lin Qinfu's wrists ached unbearably, but since the other party hadn't spoken, he didn't dare leave the park to seek medical attention; even now, some bloodstains and bits of flesh remained on the courtyard wall.
The brutality of the guy before him was beyond imagination.
He wanted to say something but hesitated, not understanding what this Boss Bai was trying to do; the two most profitable businesses had been shut down—did he really expect those drug dealers on the mountain to support this huge group of people?
Bai Cangshu hadn't actually dismissed those people out of moral or legal considerations; it was just that the women covered in needle marks made him feel they were an eyesore, and the telecommunications business required getting involved with too many people, which was too much trouble.
Only by doing the liquor business would it be worry-free and effortless; he only needed to go back up the mountain and patiently "communicate" with those drug dealers—who wouldn't have anyone call the police or seek justice for them even if they were killed—and his industrial park would likely be established.
As for the remaining effort, it would naturally be to develop an Intelligence network and transform this No. 815 telecommunications fraud park into a new-generation headhunting group; that's right, "headhunting" in the literal sense.
In this kind of chaotic environment, people dying is a very normal thing; not many people care how many people die or go missing every day in this country.
The overly safe environment of Dongxia has caused many people to lose their Adaptation to danger.
But Bai Cangshu was quite content and at ease.
He leaned against the window, holding a few photographs; these were the few photos taken of that 【Moye】.
The man in the photos was bare-chested, dark-skinned, and obese; he didn't look like the type who excelled at speed, and the gold worn on his ears and neck didn't look like any special equipment either.
Overall, this person didn't look like anything special from his appearance.
But according to rumors, he was able to charge into a drug dealer's den single-handedly and, facing those guys who possessed firearms and had no psychological burden about killing, completely slaughter a gang of nearly a hundred people.
It was clear that he possessed some kind of special ability.
"You said someone once heard terrifying bear roars coming from Moye's territory?"
Lin Qinfu was startled, not knowing why this person cared so much about those groundless rumors regarding Moye.
Mixing in this kind of place, one always needs some deeds that sound intimidating; in the early days, these deeds are the reason you make people fearful.
But Moye's influence was already quite significant now, and he had even established connections with officials; there was even news that Moye had begun to assemble a private army, hidden in the mountains and forests.
A Moye like this was already developing in the direction of the Five Great Families; ordinary park bosses and those guys hiding on the mountain didn't dare provoke him at all.
But with his life in someone else's hands, Lin Qinfu didn't dare to question him and could only answer with his head down:
"There is such a rumor; perhaps Moye really does keep a bear. It is said that in Moye's former park, he would take worthless 'meat chickens' and feed them to the bear."
Bai Cangshu nodded and continued writing and drawing on the white paper in his hand.
【Suspected of possessing summoning or transformation-type abilities】
Bai Cangshu thought for a moment, then turned to look at the layout of his park; the visibility was quite good, as this was a park cleared out in the mountains and forests with not much obstruction, and he drafted a plan in his mind.
"Little Lin, does the park have security cameras?"
Lin Qinfu was stunned for a moment before realizing that this Fierce Person, who looked no more than twenty-something, was really using "Little Lin" to address him.
"Uh, yes, there are indeed a few cameras, all on the outer walls and in the work areas."
The cameras he had installed were all to guard against the 'meat chickens' escaping or slacking off.
Bai Cangshu waved his hand.
"Move all the cameras to this building and aim them at the plaza outside."
Lin Qinfu was full of questions, but he could only do as the other party wished; he planned to act more docile for now, and when the other party let their guard down in a few days, he would find a way to kill them or simply escape, and let Moye teach this guy who didn't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth a lesson.
Out here in the streets, is being able to fight useful?
What era is this!
However, he also realized that this Mr. Bai was truly a bit too capable of fighting; could someone really beat 4 men holding AKs to death with their bare hands?
He felt that the world had been a bit crazy lately; in the last half-year, he had heard many such absurd rumors, and this time, he had seen it with his own eyes.
Could it really be, as the short dramas in those Dongxia short-video apps said, that the spiritual energy has recovered?
Or has humanity started to evolve again, just without me?
His thoughts were a mess as he turned and left the office; looking at the somewhat empty park, he felt very bitter—the industry he had built up with his own sweat had been snatched away by the other party just like that.
Damn it, you loser, I'll kill you sooner or later!
He muttered under his breath, and the corners of Bai Cangshu's mouth in the office curled up.
He sat in the chair, a flash of light appeared on his hand, and a silver-white ring appeared.
【Weapon Arm: Psychokinesis Ring】
【Quality: Blue】
【Description: A special magical tool produced in the Magic world Marchen, possessing special ability effects】
【Equipment Requirement: Constitution > 8, Spirit > 5】
【Effect 1: After wearing, meditation efficiency is slightly increased】
【Effect 2: Can be activated using Spirit; after activation, strength is increased by 20%】
【Effect 3: For every additional ring worn, the Constitution requirement increases by 4】
This was an item transferred to Bai Cangshu by the Reincarnator codenamed 【Li De】 before he died, coming from the 【Marchen】 series.
It was a very convenient and magical special item.
Not only were the usage restrictions low, but the effects were outstanding; in this work, everyone fought using various silver magical tools collectively called 【Arm】.
They were divided into 【Nature Arm】 which controlled elemental power, 【Weapon Arm】 which leaned toward close-quarters combat, and 【Guardian Arm】 which summoned various powerful guardians;
【Sacred Arm】 which excelled in sacred energy and healing, and 【Darkness Arm】 which carried great risks but had powerful effects;
Relatively speaking, Weapon Arms usually had the lowest rarity, but these two Psychokinesis Rings were quite practical due to their good special effects.
Bai Cangshu's Constitution was 13 points at this time, so he wore both rings at the same time.
He clenched his fist, moved his mind, and then lightly landed it on the mahogany table.
Boom!
The surface of the table shattered instantly.
This ring amplifies Bai Cangshu's power to a certain degree and releases it in the form of a special psychokinetic attack; depending on the user's intent, it can also serve as a shield of sorts.
Bai Cangshu is very satisfied with the effects of these two items; they are even more practical than the Rare and Peerless Bloodline Item 【Spirit-Gathering Finger】 he purchased himself.
The sound of the red mahogany table shattering makes Lin Qinfu, who is still in the hallway, tremble in his heart, and he runs even faster.
In the afternoon, he receives notice; Bai Cangshu tells him to send men to acquire a batch of special medicinal herbs, primarily from Dongxia, Nihong, and Korea.
"Three-Immortal Spear Grass, Feather-Leaf Ghost Lantern, Tomorrow Leaf..."
Lin Qinfu frowns; he has never heard of these tongue-twisting names for medicinal herbs, but Bai Cangshu's arrangement still gives him a glimmer of opportunity.
He immediately has his trusted aide take the list of medicinal herbs and drive to a nearby town.
Of course, he also carries the message he needs to deliver.
He stands on the playground on the first floor, a place usually used for those "broilers" to get some air; now, aside from a few people installing surveillance cameras, it is empty.
Lin Qinfu looks back at the office on the second floor and sneers.
But the next moment, Bai Cangshu's face stretches out from the window, making Lin Qinfu tremble in his heart.
Bai Cangshu waves his hand with a smile and shouts:
"Remember to be quick!"
He leans his entire body out of the window again, watching the people installing surveillance cameras on the walls and in some hidden places, and nods with satisfaction.
Lin Qinfu breaks out in a cold sweat, but the other party does not seem to suspect him; he pats his aide on the shoulder.
"Remember, tell Moye that this Bai Cangshu is a very good fighter, so bring more guns..." He thinks for a moment, perhaps influenced by Bai Cangshu constantly asking him about the rumors regarding Moye, and adds:
"It's best to bring the Bear along too!"
The aide nods, drives a beat-up pickup truck out of the compound, and steps on the gas to speed away.
Bai Cangshu counts the days on his fingers, knowing in his heart that even if that 【Moye】 receives the news and rushes here, it will take at least a day or two.
Given the level of power he has displayed, the other party will certainly not be careless.
And as for himself, he has been quite busy lately as well...
With a thought, Bai Cangshu's figure vanishes, and he returns to the Public Space.
A message appears before his eyes.
【lt44344564 (Conspiracy) sent a contact: I am at Shanty Town stall e385, come quickly for the trade】
This type of contact is a designated communication conducted by the space in the Public Space for a certain amount of Dimension Points, but the message can only be seen when both parties are within the space.
!
It is a special contact that requires knowing the Reincarnator's ID number or using a Reincarnator's stall.
For stranger Reincarnators who are not team members, it is the most convenient contact tool, with no need to worry about being tracked in the real world.
Bai Cangshu happens to be planning to go to the official stall of the 【Destiny】 Gathering to purchase items at this time, so he decides to go and meet this Reincarnator who also knows the special casting Tese.
If the other party is not an Information Broker or someone who bought the information, then knowing this path means the other party has also obtained an S-rank evaluation at least once.
They are a Reincarnator with considerable potential.
Bai Cangshu, wearing the face of an Ancient God that has already begun to gain a small reputation for ferocity, appears in the Shanty Town, drawing a small crowd.
【Conspiracy】 is a guy wearing a crow mask; his face is completely invisible, but in the space, Avatars are diverse by nature, and wearing a mask is also a way to increase recognizability.
Seeing Bai Cangshu arrive at his stall with many eyes on him, he recognizes that the other party is the owner of the material for that 【Heartless Ghost · Doma】.
"You didn't confirm my trade; do you already know that method?"
Bai Cangshu scans the items on the stall; he has to admit that this 【Conspiracy】 might indeed have some strength.
【Bloodline Item · Genetically Mutated Spinal Fluid】
【Quality: Purple (Rare and Peerless)】
【Description: The spinal fluid of an Ability User from a certain world, possessing the potential to make genes mutate and awaken superpowers】
【Price: Negotiable】
【Effect: Hidden by the stall owner】
The items are mostly related to superpowers.
"That's right, once you get an S-rank evaluation, you naturally know it."
"What, did you just come back from ransacking a superpower mission world?"
【Conspiracy】 does not deny it, merely observing this rising Reincarnator through the crow mask; just one mission world ago, the other party was selling materials from a low-difficulty world like the 【Demon Slayer World】.
Now, it is rumored that he has already been able to wipe out the 【Fifth Element】; this span of strength is immense.
Either someone lied and the information is untrue.
Or the other party's strength has improved extremely rapidly.
Or... both.
【Conspiracy】 nods and speaks, answering irrelevantly.
"It seems you are indeed a guy with social value, not one of those idiots who only know how to waste my time."
Conspiracy looks at the idiots in the distance who are still wasting their precious time watching him and 【Tao Baibai】, feeling disdain in his heart; these guys won't survive more than a few reincarnation missions.
They are not worth his effort to socialize with.
But a guy like 【Tao Baibai】 is different; he has value.
"I want Doma's head; if you see anything on my stall you like, we can talk."
Bai Cangshu is about to speak, but sees a long, narrow blade appear before the stall.
The blade emits a red light.
"Hey, you two, you aren't planning on trading in private, are you? Since we both made an offer, you should naturally let us bid fairly, Tao Baibai~"
The female voice carries a special magnetism; it is neither crisp nor hoarse, yet it seems capable of making a person's heart waver slightly.
In the Public Space, any ability that exerts influence on others has no effect, so this is her own natural talent, a result of her vocal timbre.
Bai Cangshu turned his head and saw a woman in a purple robe standing by the stall, holding a long blade with a curved tip in her hand.
A smile appeared at the corners of Bai Cangshu's mouth.
"I didn't expect the Liechangren to actually make her Avatar look exactly like the 'Bowel Hunter Elsa'."
"You are quite interesting."
Most people in the Reincarnation Space try every possible way to hide the truth of their abilities.
For example, if you are a Zoan Devil Fruit Ability User, you would disguise yourself as having a Werewolf Bloodline to prevent the other party from knowing the true nature of your ability.
Hiding the true nature of one's ability can avoid being targeted.
But the woman before him, whether in terms of weapon or appearance, seemed to be declaring the essence of her ability.
Either this is a more complete deception and disguise;
Or...
Bai Cangshu looked at the wantonness in the woman's eyes and confirmed that she was indeed such an Arrogant person.
She does not hide the truth of her ability at all; she just wants to be like this, to humiliate you, and then kill you.
Seeing someone stirring up trouble, Conspiracy also stood up at the same time.
Both of these two are Reincarnators with a bit of fame, and gathering together is already enough to attract attention, not to mention that there is also a Tao Baibai among them at this moment.
It inevitably leads people to make many guesses.
Many lone-wolf Reincarnators with some fame eventually team up together.
Some powerful teams that are now renowned were formed in this way.
Black Butler was in the distance, originally intending to give Tao Baibai some worthless Intelligence to build a relationship, but seeing this scene, he also speculated in his heart.
Are these three planning to form a team?!
