Chapter 152: Instant Prison Kill! (3k, second update, please subscribe)
Lin Qinfu sat up from the straw mat; he had privately spent a large sum of money to have the locals in this village carry him and Bai Cangshu to a nearby manor.
He gently rubbed his temples, feeling as if he had suddenly forgotten something, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not recall what it was.
He reviewed his memories and felt that something was not quite right.
For instance, he remembered very clearly that when he first arrived here, he was working under a terrifying guy, but he could not recall the other person's name or appearance at all.
Or, for another example, he knew there was a manor nearby where a big boss lived who controlled various villages, bandit gangs, and industrial parks for nearly a hundred miles around, but he could no longer remember the other person's identity either.
Even the reason why he knew about this manor had begun to grow blurry.
Lin Qinfu stammered as he explained to Bai Cangshu, terrified that the other party would deem him useless and kill him.
But to his surprise, this true tyrant merely nodded with a smile and did not pursue the matter.
Bai Cangshu knew that the cognitive interference of Paradise had begun to take effect.
As a Reincarnator died, all 【Information】 related to them was seized and confiscated by Paradise, as if it were being allocated and consumed as some kind of resource.
The resulting manifestation was that, depending on the closeness of the relationship with that Reincarnator, all ordinary people would gradually forget the other party's existence, and related matters in their minds would become blurry and impossible to verify.
After more time passed, they would even completely forget those events, and would never be able to recall anything about that person again.
Therefore, Bai Cangshu consciously took advantage of the fact that the other party had not yet forgotten that manor, and had people bring him to the "Wuhui Manor," which was quite famous in this region.
Many people who had offended Moye were brought to the manor and never returned; it was the place the locals feared most.
The industrial park Bai Cangshu had seized hadn't even been enjoyed for a few weeks before it was destroyed by a single blow from Moye; he prepared to move into a new manor to settle down and study how to build his own Paradise bit by bit.
At daybreak, the two saw the manor nestled in the mountain forest; honestly, it was not built luxuriously, and the large number of wooden structures made this manor look like just a slightly better village.
There was a perimeter wall at the entrance, with a four-meter-wide gravel road leading inside, and several guard posts along the way, all manned by people holding guns.
Lin Qinfu watched with his own eyes as Bai Fengzi walked over to negotiate and then slaughtered the gun-wielding men one by one; the bullets seemed to have eyes, as they could never hit Bai Fengzi.
A moment later, Lin Qinfu entered the manor; he began directing the locals to gather the corpses and rounded up the numb servants, ordering them to continue cleaning the manor's environment and to carry away and bury the various stinking bones far away.
While doing all this, Lin Qinfu felt as if the piercing pain in his thigh had lessened quite a bit; he found a sense of stability, and perhaps this manor would be his place of refuge for some time to come.
Thinking this, he looked back and saw Bai Fengzi standing on the second floor of the exquisite wooden building, lying on a lounge chair and seemingly already asleep.
If it were before, he might have had other thoughts, but now, just seeing the other party's appearance was enough to make him recall scene after scene of terrifying images.
This Bai Fengzi was a beast in human skin, a Monster, a Ghost; there was simply no way to survive if one made an enemy of such a thing...
Bai Cangshu noticed that there was a huge pond in the backyard of the manor, which smelled foul and disgusting, with many incomplete skeletons floating on it; he guessed that perhaps among Moye's abilities, there existed something similar to summoning and Contract beasts.
It was just that such things were hard to utilize in the real world, and he hadn't brought them that night; now that Moye was dead, he didn't know if that thing had disappeared or escaped the manor.
Tsk, hopefully it won't bring any disaster to the locals.
Bai Cangshu lay on the rocking chair, swaying.
If he wanted to hunt Reincarnators on a large scale in the Myanmar North region, then the first priority was, of course, a sound means of obtaining Intelligence.
This place was a mix of the good and the bad, with various forces carving out territory; there were old-money families left over from history, warlords, bandit gangs, drug traffickers, and all sorts of bureaucrats in government agencies lining their own pockets.
Intelligence and information were very opaque.
"Lin Qinfu! Get me a computer!"
Bai Cangshu suddenly roared, making Lin Qinfu below immediately rack his brains to find a way.
In the information age, Bai Cangshu decided to try to find a way through the internet; coincidentally, he also needed some translation tools for the laptop he obtained from the Private Space of the Evil Child, to see if there was any special Intelligence.
The number of Reincarnators in Gaoli should also be quite high; if the Evil Child had suitable targets, Bai Cangshu wouldn't mind hunting in their stead.
——
【Black Butler】 moved his mind, attempting to visit a Private Space.
【You are applying to enter the Private Space of Team Garou Legend...】
【Applying...】
【Application approved】
With a flash of light, Black Butler appeared in a small street block; this space covered an area of more than 2 mu, with darkness in the distance, but nearby were several buildings flickering with Nihong lights.
The team named 【Garou Legend】 was clearly not small in scale, and they had planned the Team Space very distinctively; because the team had sufficient resources, they had even independently partitioned several buildings specifically to serve as a resource warehouse, a conference hall, and a training room.
This was quite rare even among teams in the Second Tier.
The Permission Black Butler had obtained at this time only allowed him to visit the conference hall; he looked at the gray corridor about three stories high in front of him, which was filled with a strange aura; this height was not at all meant for Reincarnators of normal stature.
He came to the front of the corridor, reached out to touch it, and was directly teleported inside.
Arriving within, it appeared very Empty and spacious, with exquisite red carpets laid on the floor.
Besides Black Butler, several other Information Brokers were also present.
A sturdy man with short pink hair sat at the very head of the conference room; his features were refined, but his anger was hard to conceal at this moment.
"Someone in the real world hunted our team member."
As soon as he spoke, the few people below all opened their eyes, and powerful auras and pressure appeared simultaneously; Black Butler knew that this group of people were all Elite Reincarnators who had crossed the First Extremity.
【Garou Legend】 was an even more powerful team than 【Fifth Element】 in its heyday, and was a top-tier Elite team in the Second Tier, on par with teams like 【9527】 and 【Far East Magic Society】. Multiple large-scale Gatherings were attempting to recruit them.
The team leader of 【Garou Legend】 was the pink-haired man speaking now, codenamed 【Rose Tiger】, a powerful martial artist mentioned in the same breath as 【Kai】 of 【Fifth Element】; the two had clashed many times on various occasions and had also sparred within Paradise, with the results being a draw.
"I need a name, a codename; you are all free to name your price."
The few Information Brokers exchanged glances, knowing that today's matter might not end well.
The job of an Information Broker always inevitably encountered such situations; dealing with Intelligence all day long, there would always be people who lost their minds because of the Intelligence and started coming after them.
"Apologies, Rose Tiger, my condolences, but no one has been asking about your team members' information from me recently."
【Cyber-Blog】, wearing a cloak, was the first to answer, but Rose Tiger's expression grew even worse.
He had no patience to begin with, and at this moment he stood up, his aura already somewhat unstable; he said to the few people:
"Whether you really don't know or not, I need a name!"
In increasingly dangerous mission worlds, a qualified Defense Specialization Reincarnator was very precious.
【Mojiang】 was someone the team had spent many resources to cultivate, and the other party had indeed done their best, saving the team many times along the way, always standing in front of the most dangerous enemies.
!
Whether out of personal sentiment or team interests, Rose Tiger could not forgive the person who hunted Mojiang.
However, their team was not as "harmonious and friendly" as the Fifth Element; the result of excessively pursuing powerful combat strength was that the feelings between team members were not good, and they even harbored suspicions toward one another.
Team members also basically would not reveal news about each other in the real world.
Their mode of getting along was closer to "teammates" rather than the "friends and family" type of the Fifth Element.
Therefore, at this moment, Rose Tiger wanted to take revenge, but he surprisingly had no target at the first instance.
He did not even know if this was done by some teams of the Second Tier, or the personal actions of some Reincarnators, or perhaps, because his own loose lips recently and getting too close to Red Lotus Mage Luo Xi had caused dissatisfaction among other Title-level Reincarnators?
Rose Tiger clutched his head; thinking about such things made him feel as if his head were splitting with pain.
"Haha, Tiger, what's the use of you forcing them? If you ask me, you'd be better off finding a diviner to divine Mojiang's location in the real world and start from there, if... you really want to help him take revenge that much."
The woman speaking was wrapped in a long dress, leaning against the windowsill on the right-hand side; her eyes sized up several teammates. Aside from that idiot Rose Tiger, not many people truly wanted to avenge Mojiang.
She knew very clearly that Red Lotus Mage Luo Xi had indeed won over Rose Tiger, but the other few Title-level Reincarnators had also made contact with other core members in the team.
Even she had received a few promises.
This so-called Garou Legend, I'm afraid, is about to become a legend soon...
Her eyes were wanton; suddenly, she noticed Black Butler and spoke with great interest:
"Black Butler, I heard that His Excellency Final Sun recently sent someone to look for you. Was one of his Followers really killed?"
Once these words were out, even Rose Tiger could not be bothered to be angry anymore; he turned his head and looked at Black Butler.
Black Butler pushed up his monocle, thinking that this Intelligence did not have much value; on the contrary, this kind of Intelligence was usually a lead that could attract others' interest, thereby making the other party pay for more in-depth Intelligence.
"That is correct. His Excellency dispatched a Follower to contact me, confirming that Jiebo of the First Tier was his Follower and has already been killed."
Rose Tiger sneered.
"Jiebo?"
"For that kind of small fry to be chosen as a Follower, what kind of dog-shit Luck did he have."
The woman's mouth curled up; she did not take Black Butler's bait, but instead changed the subject.
"That Tao Baibai is your client, right? I have my eye on those Compound V of his and would like to ask you to negotiate on my behalf."
"By the way, do you know what type of items he tends to favor?"
The woman revealed her true intention, and Rose Tiger's expression changed slightly.
For others, Compound V was actually just a "gacha" item with average cost-effectiveness; after injecting it, one would see if their Superpower was powerful, and if it was powerful, one could spend a price to anchor it at the Goddess.
If the effect was not good, one would have to spend a high price to remove it and repair their genes.
But this woman was different; for her, Compound V was likely a convenient genetic weapon.
He keenly realized that this woman likely had other intentions.
Black Butler took in the expressions of the few people; he thought about Tao Baibai's needs and said:
"Tao Baibai probably needs two types of things the most."
"One is a fast and convenient mobile vehicle, and the other is..."
"Powerful, high-frequency martial arts attack abilities."
He explained this to the woman, but his gaze was directed at Rose Tiger.
Many people knew that an Information Broker in the space was arranging a trade for Rose Tiger, and the item was an Ability Scroll named Shun Goku Satsu.
