Chapter 800: The ‘commission’ for killing now (a long chapter, please vote for the monthly ticket)
The hazy white light filled He Ao’s vision, and an unprecedented sense of fatigue came from his limbs and swept through his soul. [Read the novel without errors, search on Google]
This sense of fatigue was like a mountain weighing tens of millions of pounds, pressing on him, making him unable to even move a finger.
And in this hazy white light, a series of illusory shadows slowly emerged from the pure white background of the world. Their faces were blurred, like nameless souls.
Their shadows passed through He Ao’s body, but what they brought was not the cold chill, but a stream of warmth that seemed to penetrate every inch of muscle.
And as this warmth spread through He Ao’s body little by little, the fatigue that seemed to be a mountain pressing on his head melted away like spring breeze melting snow.
He Ao moved his fingers and felt that his whole body was ‘lighter’.
He looked up and saw the countless phantoms that passed through his body. At this moment, they were gathering together in the white light in front of him and condensing into an illusory figure.
A vague little girl wearing a long skirt and with her eyes closed gradually appeared in the white light.
When the last phantom passed through He Ao's body, He Ao felt that he seemed to have completely recovered his ability to move, and the little girl formed by the phantom in front of him was completely formed.
The vague and illusory long skirt began to form an opaque entity, and then turned into pure blood red.
"Alice?"
He Ao looked at the little girl in the red skirt who was gradually taking shape in front of him, and watched those illusory shadows completely merge into the little girl's body.
The little girl opened her eyes and looked at He Ao in front of her. She slowly opened her hands, and a blood-red paper butterfly spread its wings from her palms and slowly flew towards He Ao.
He Ao reached out and took the butterfly.
At this moment, he vaguely understood that what he was facing now was not "Alice", or in other words, it was not purely "Alice".
Those souls that were "released" from the inner church and used to be the "foundation of the church" left some "power" on He Ao as a thank you before returning to the world.
These strands of power finally gathered on Alice's paper butterfly, forming the appearance he saw now.
Alice was the only one among these powers with some "regrets", so she naturally became the subordinate of these powers, and the embodiment of these powers also showed Alice's appearance.
Before, He Ao vaguely noticed that some power left the inner church at the end and entangled him and the paper butterfly, but after he left the inner church, the paper butterfly did not appear.
Now it seems that those powers were not stable at that time, and it was not until this time that they completely formed a stable form.
The bright red paper butterfly landed on He Ao's fingertips and slowly folded its wings.
At this moment, the entire pure white world of light was shattered.
He Ao slowly opened his eyes and looked around.
The first thing that caught his eye was a delicate and pretty face and golden twin ponytails extending from both sides.
"Are you awake?"
Villi stared at He Ao and blinked, "I thought you would sleep for a while. How are you now?"
Just as He Ao was about to speak, he felt a strong sense of fatigue and weakness throughout his body.
At the same time, a warm force came from his right shoulder, constantly repairing his body.
He turned his head and looked at the blood-colored paper butterfly on his right shoulder with its wings spread out and a little illusory, then turned his head back and looked at Vili, "It's okay now."
At this time, Vili also followed his gaze and looked at the little bit of solid paper butterfly on He Ao's shoulder.
She remembered very clearly that there was no paper butterfly on He Ao's shoulder just now.
But she didn't ask more questions. After all, it was normal for a supernatural person to have some secrets. She turned her head and glanced at Lena beside her, "No, your guest is here."
Then she straightened up, "You guys chat first, I'll make some milk tea for you."
Hearing this, He Ao looked at Vili with some surprise.
Even Lena looked at Vili with some surprise.
"What are you looking at? In your eyes, am I just a young lady who has nothing to do but has everything to offer?"
Willi rolled her eyes, "I learned to make milk tea from Uncle Jacko when I was very young. I have been doing this skill for almost ten years. You have to believe in my skills!"
She clapped her hands and walked out of the inner room with a puffed face.
"She is very different."
Lena watched the girl disappear behind the door, turned around and looked at He Ao.
At least, no young lady of the consortium that she knew would make milk tea by herself. This is usually the job of hiring a maid or a private chef.
"Yes,"
He Ao looked at the direction where Willie disappeared, and nodded thoughtfully.
Although Willie may be the richest 'young lady' in the city, her upbringing makes her not look like a young lady.
Then he turned his head and looked at Lena, "How is the situation of the Security Federation?"
"Not very good, but much better than expected,"
Lena nodded slightly and briefly described the current situation of the Security Federation. Then she continued, "Currently many people in the Federation hope to establish a 'covenant' with you,
"Your performance last night has spread throughout Winter City and even the entire Federation. Now I'm afraid that the entire Federation's top leaders know that a fallen angel mecha shot down a space monster.
"United Industries issued an announcement this morning, offering a reward of 50 million federal coins to anyone who can provide valid clues. There will be a direct reward of 10 million."
"Aren't you going to receive this bonus?"
He Ao put the hand holding the IV pole on his lap and looked at her with a smile.
"We, the bounty hunters, also have rules..."
Having said this, she paused, tilted her head and looked at He Ao, her waterfall-like red hair sliding down her shoulders, "At least I have rules, I don't earn money that I shouldn't earn."
"Did you really make money as a mercenary?"
He Ao looked at her curiously.
"Let's... make some money,"
Lena paused for a moment, then immediately changed the subject, "The good news is that based on the intelligence I have received so far, your driver's identity has not been leaked. The bad news is,"
She looked at He Ao, "Your wanted posters are plastered all over Winter City."
"Did the Eternal Secret Cult do it?"
He Ao saw her intention to change the topic, so he didn't point it out, but thought for a moment.
As early as when he fought Levins, he discovered that the Eternal Secret Cult seemed to have mastered his information.
Although the Eternal Secret Cult may not be able to confirm that he did those things, it does not affect them. They would rather kill the wrong person than let them go.
"Yes,"
Lena nodded, "Now the entire Winter City belongs to others. Wanted posters can be posted wherever they want."
"So what is the relationship between United Industries and the Eternal Secret Cult? Do you have any information there?"
He Ao continued to ask.
"I don't know, we haven't received any news before,"
The expression on Lena's face was a little strange,
"These two have deliberately hidden it for too long. It is normal for the Eternal Secret Sect to hide it, but United Industries can also hide it.
"Until last night, the middle-level employees of United Industries thought that the Eternal Secret Cult was their enemy,"
Speaking of this, she continued thoughtfully, "At present, I suspect that only a very small number of people at the top who make decisions in United Industries are really related to the Eternal Secret Cult. The 'covenant' signed between them may be Even the United Industries board of directors doesn’t know.”
"Um,"
He Ao nodded slightly. United Industries even hid it from the FBI. This time it was indeed concealed very well. He looked at Lena again, "Has the FBI made arrangements?"
"I have arranged for people and doctors to help stabilize their injuries,"
Lena nodded, "They should have contacted FBI headquarters by now."
"Trouble,"
He Ao thanked her softly, then he looked at Lena and said slowly, "Can I see the disc you entered the church inside last night?"
"certainly."
Lena stretched out her hand and handed the disk with the pointer to He Ao. She vaguely realized that He Ao's visit to her this time was most likely related to the disk.
"Thanks."
He Ao took the disk, placed it in the sunlight coming from the window, and looked at it carefully.
The disk itself is a light golden color, with densely twisted lines painted on it.
At this moment, in He Ao's spiritual vision, there was a twisted light swimming on the outermost side of the disk, forming a 'ring' shape along the outer edge of the disk.
The ring surrounded by light is filled with a large number of twisted and restless patterns, and there is a vague twisted light that rises and falls in these twisted patterns like breathing.
On the top of the disc, there is a light golden pointer inlaid.
He Ao saw that when Lena took out the pointer last night, it was pointing upward. But now, the pointer has been moved 180 degrees and is facing directly downward.
This is something Lena has already used once.
"You said last night that this disc is dangerous?"
Lena on the side watched him look at the disk and asked with some confusion.
"Strictly speaking, the disc is not dangerous,"
He Ao put down the disk, looked at Lena, and sorted out his words.
"It is the pollution hazard stored in the disc. It stores the pollution you enter into the church inside, but it can only be stored once. If you use it a second time, the disc will be directly squeezed because it cannot store so much pollution. It explodes, and the pollution inside will spill out."
"Then I'll die?"
Lena glanced at the disk and asked cautiously.
"Well, that's true for humans,"
He Ao nodded, "Of course, to put it more strictly, you will become a monster polluted by the eternal light,"
He looked at the disc in his hand carefully, "The person who gave you this disc should have the ability to locate and even control the monsters contaminated by this disc to a certain extent. Moreover, he is most likely a believer in eternal light, which is still very important. Advanced believer."
"So this guy never wanted to pay the bill in the first place?"
Lena rested her chin on her hand and stared at the disk in He Ao's hand, with a rare expression of anger on her face, "You don't have to pay commission if you kill the employee, you bastard!"
He Ao smiled and looked at Lena, "Aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?"
"If you really want to harm me,"
Lena looked at He Ao and smiled slightly, "I died in the church last night."
He Ao smiled, holding the disc in his hand, and continued to ask, "So this is given to you by the person who hired you to go to the church inside? Do you know who he is?"
"have no idea,"
Lena shook her head, "He is an old client of mine. I met him through the 'black market'. He paid normally the past few times."
Having said this, she paused slightly and cursed again with suppressed anger, "Son of a bitch!"
"In this case,"
He Ao looked at her, "Can I give you a commission?"
"Um?"
Lena looked at him doubtfully.
"This person may be a high-level believer in the eternal light, and the pattern style of this disk is a bit like the style of the eternal old religion."
He Ao looked at the disc in his hand and said thoughtfully.
"Eternal Old Religion?"
Lena was stunned, "Didn't they arrange for people to enter the main church themselves? Why did they hire me to enter?"
"That's what we need to investigate,"
The trap process laid out by the Eternal Secret Cult flashed through He Ao's mind. The Eternal Secret Cult seemed to know exactly what the people of the Eternal Old Cult wanted.
He thought for a moment, looked at Lena and said frankly, "I want to entrust you to help me send a message to your 'client' and ask him out. I think he may have some connection with the death of my parents. "
"Follow the rules,"
Lena looked at He Ao, "We should not expose the client's identity."
"He wanted to default on the bill."
He Ao smiled.
"Done."
Lena responded without hesitation.
After saying this, she paused and sighed, "It seems that I am really not suitable to be a bounty hunter. I will quit this job and focus on opening my bar."
"Then do you want the commission fee this time?"
He Ao looked at her.
"want!"
She responded without hesitation again, and then she looked at He Ao, "Speaking of which, what are you going to give as commission?"
"Your talent sequence is the follow-up talent sequence of 'Angry Man'? D level?"
He Ao looked at her and asked thoughtfully.
"how do you know?"
Lena was confused for a moment and looked at He Ao with some confusion.
"Guess."
He Ao blinked.
Divine consciousness can see the color of the energy in the extraordinary person's body, and this color is the same as the radiant color in the extraordinary person's blood.
Based on current experience, He Ao guessed that all subsequent talent sequences derived from the same F-level talent sequence are likely to be of the same color.
For example, 'Talent Sequence 5: Angry Man' is red, then the E-level 'Fighter', 'Bull', D-level 'Thug', 'Martial Artist', and C-level 'Warrior' derived from Angry Man,' Predator' and 'Martial Bearer' are all red.
He Ao is now unsure whether his guess is accurate, at least in the talent sequence he understands, this is the rule.
At this moment, the energy in Lena's body was 'red' in his field of vision, so he made a 'guess'.
Among the three D-level talent sequences corresponding to 'Angry Man', two of them are familiar to He Ao.
In fact, He Ao had already 'guessed' the sequence of Lina's talents based on the combat qualities she had shown before.
"My ability is 'Talent Sequence 50: Martial Artist'."
Lena did not hide it, and directly stated her talent sequence clearly. She did not ask He Ao how she guessed it, but looked at He Ao, "So your 'commission' and my 'talent' Sequence' related?"
She actually didn't know what kind of 'commission' He Ao could give. After all, she was very clear about Yiluo's family situation.
If the child wants to make an IOU, she can accept it.
"Um,"
He Ao nodded, "Talent sequence 98: warrior, secret medicine and ritual, but the secret medicine requires you to provide some auxiliary materials."
"Actually, if you really can't pay the commission, you can also owe it first... ah?"
Lena originally wanted to comfort 'Iroh', but after hearing He Ao's words, she was immediately confused, "Do you have the main material for the talent sequence of 'Warrior'? When? Where is it?"
"It's in the trunk of the SUV,"
He Ao looked at her with some confusion, "Didn't you drive my SUV here?"
"The body?"
Lena felt that her thinking was a little stiff. Naturally, she saw what He Ao put in the trunk. "That person's talent sequence is 'Warrior'? Have you already thought about it? Now he killed a 'Warrior' To make a commission?”
"It's not immediate killing,"
He Ao emphasized, "That was the 'Swent' of the Eternal Secret Cult. He attacked me first. I was acting in self-defense. I can't say nonsense. I will be held legally responsible."
Lena:
"Okay...Okay,"
Lena felt dizzy. The behavior of the child in front of her seemed different from what she had imagined. She looked at He Ao, "So how do you want to lure that guy out? I'm afraid that guy is very cunning. It won’t come out easily.”
"He'll come out,"
He Ao put down the disk in his hand and looked deeper into the room, "Tell him that you know the whereabouts of the triangular wooden sign with the eyes carved on it."
