Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 182.013. The Transaction
Soon, with Jin Ziyue's help, they logged onto the black market's online trading website.

Jin Ziyue, not wanting to show himself and respecting Qing Yise's wishes, left the room.

"I'll go inform the smuggler first. With the transaction amount and my own savings, it should be enough to take you on a trip." He gave Qing Yise a reassuring smile.

"Hmm." Qing Yise left the young man, somewhat nervous.

A video window popped up on the computer screen, showing a man wearing a black top hat and a question mark mask.

"Hello, esteemed guest. This is agent number 1027 at your service. We understand that you are preparing to trade Class A intelligence. Confirm?"

"confirm."

"Please submit your information. We will assess the value of the information you provide and then give you a fair reward."

"That's what the man in the question mark mask said."

"What I want to talk about is the intelligence regarding the 'Shadow Legion'."

"'Shadow Legion'?"

"Yes. Let me tell you about my experience. When I woke up as a White Walker, I was in a dark place where I could clearly hear the clanging of railroad tracks. There, there was a group of people like me who had been secretly turned into White Walkers."

Qing Yise seemed lost in memories: "They completely stripped the White Walkers of their lifeblood, leaving the newly born White Walkers in a state of extreme hunger and madness."

She recalled her face that morning; she was probably close to exhaustion and on the verge of madness.

"Then, they control their minds through new pronouncements."

Qing Yise stopped and asked, "Do you know about destiny words and destiny controllers?"

"Rest assured, this kind of information is no longer a major secret. Even the mysterious Fate Drivers have sufficient channels to understand it."

"Then I'm relieved." Qing Yise valued this mysterious intelligence department even more.

“As I just mentioned, they use commandments to control the minds of the White Walkers, and these commandments are achieved by injecting the blood of the commanders. The blood of the commanders is the container for most of the commandments. They used their own methods to develop some magical artificial commandments and injected these commandments into these emotionless killing machines, thus creating a new force—the ‘Shadow Legion’.”

"Artificial wording?" The man in the question mark mask grasped the key point.

“Yes. They made artificial corrections to the original decrees, as if they had unearthed the hidden abilities of the decrees and amplified them,” Qing Yise said. “But at that time, I had already become a Otherworlder and lost the ability of the Fate-Controlling Clan, so I couldn’t judge what the difference was.”

"The characteristic of these commandments is that they are mass-produced because they control the commanders who possess the mother commandment, constantly drawing out his blood and transferring it in a certain proportion to the newborn Others who do not have a commandment, so that they will obtain his child commandment."

"Hmm..." In the video, the other person made a thinking gesture.

"The White Walkers who obtain the mandate actually only have a few hundred milliliters of blood containing the mandate, so the mandate's lifespan won't be very long."

"Qing Yise said."

"I understand. So this is how the 'Shadow Legion' was created?"

“Yes,” the girl said. “From there, they began to raise most of the White Walkers and amass their forces. The only medical tests I underwent there were the most basic ones.”

"Could you provide the specific address? The location of the 'Shadow Legion'?"

“I stayed indoors the whole time, but I could clearly hear the tram, so I think it must be near some underground tram platform.”

"Then how did you escape?"

“Three days ago, the entire ‘Shadow Legion’ of the training base was mobilized, and the person responsible for regularly administering anesthesia to me was knocked unconscious by me, which allowed me to escape.”

She recalled, "There were many checkpoints throughout the base. Some required iris scans and fingerprints, while others required combination locks. Because of the fear that the White Walkers might break in, capture people inside, gouge out their eyes, or cut off their fingers, the most primitive combination locks were retained. However, I managed to pass through the hidden checkpoints without any major incidents by using a researcher's access card."

"Could you draw a detailed map and mark the passwords for each level?"

"I'll try my best. After all, I came out based on my memory, so I can only describe it roughly."

"After running out of the base, I found myself inside the subway tracks. It was one of those tunnels where you could see the dark scenery outside the subway window between each station, and occasionally there were giant LED screens displaying advertisements."

"When I first saw this scene, I was a little confused, but as I walked down, I found a place where the city's drainage system was located on the lower level. There had been a lot of thunderstorms those days, and the water level had risen very high, so when I went down, the water was already up to my ankles. I don't know how long I walked through the dirty water below, winding and turning, before I found the city's drainage system with some flowing water and lights on it. I crawled out and was able to escape."

After she finished recounting the incident, she seemed to still feel lingering fear, recalling the scene with a sense of unease.

"But the city's railway and flood control systems are numerous and complex. Do you have any more specific landmarks that you could use as a reference?"

"It's in this area, but I can't quite pinpoint the exact location because I got lost in the sewers."

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

"Wait, I have something else to say."

The man in the question mark mask nodded slightly and said, "Please speak."

“Some of the Fate Masters are colluding with the Others! As far as I know, there is one, named Chu Binlin.”

The other person nodded and wrote something on the other side of the computer screen.

"They have planted spies within the Fate Masters. I'm afraid the Fate Masters will be in danger soon. Please pass on this message for me."

"That's a good bargaining chip," the other party nodded.

"In that case, I'll trouble you." Qing Yise thanked him.

"Please wait a moment while we calculate the value of your claim."

The girl sat upright and breathed a sigh of relief.

A moment later, the other party came back online.

Is the compensation you requested in monetary form?

"Yes."

"Okay, dear lady, our company considers your information to be very important. Thank you for your cooperation. We will transfer 20 Alliance Coins to your designated account."

"20?!" Qing Yise exclaimed in surprise. "That much?"

"Yes, but given the significant risks you face, we recommend that you hire a bodyguard."

Qing Yise pondered for a moment. She wanted to escape because the recent pursuit had become much more intense, and she didn't want Zhu Qinsheng to be in danger.

The price for smuggling is only 10; the other 10 can be used to hire bodyguards.

She nodded and said, "Thank you for your suggestion. May I ask what list I can choose from?"

Qing Yise was also clever; she knew that the other party wanted to do more business with her.

"Yes, I've sent the file. Please receive it. The list consists of hunters and bounty hunters from the vicinity of Zuojingdu. They have a good reputation with us, so you can rest assured and don't need to worry about being robbed."

Qing Yise nodded, casually browsing through the other party's bodyguard list.

They are all highly skilled assassins. District 16 is known as the city of the White Walkers, so it is truly remarkable that it has so many skilled human assassins.

Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks, as well as various races and assassins.

Suddenly, she paused, and saw a familiar face in the list.

The photo clearly shows a white mask that is half crying and half laughing.
