Under One Person, Engage in Black Technology

Chapter 13 Clues
Captain Cong pulled out a photo from the compartment of his briefcase. It showed an old beggar with a hunched back carrying a large package.

"This man suddenly went to the cold storage last night. Our deployed police officers, even with their guns drawn, were unable to stop him. He suddenly disappeared at a dead end. Later, we checked the security cameras, but found nothing. It was as if he had suddenly appeared in the cold storage."

"That method is clearly unusual. I asked the director what he meant, and he said he would negotiate with your company tomorrow and issue the commission."

"And the purpose of my coming here is to inform you, although I don't know whether you will accept the commission."

At this point, Captain Cong put the file back into the confidential briefcase and whispered, "In our system, there are only two police reports related to that beggar in the past forty years. One was when he disappeared in Henan's hometown forty years ago."

"Another story is that fifteen years ago, he was found begging on the street in Guangdong. Records show that he had been mutilated and his limbs were missing. He definitely didn't look like he did in our photos, with all his limbs intact."

"People who cut down and mutilate people often come in groups. He might have a gang."

Listening to what Captain Cong said, Liu Ke also understood that the other party was afraid that he would accept the commission but fall into a trap, and that a good tiger could not stand up to a pack of wolves and would be defeated.

"I understand what you mean. Thank you for reminding me."

Captain Cong straightened his police cap and said, "The person you saved that day was my old subordinate. I should be the one to say thank you."

After the policemen left, Liu Ke looked at the photos left for him, lost in thought.

I thought my reckless action had destroyed all the clues, but God was kind and gave me a chance to make amends.

Ding! The WeChat notification sound came in my mind.

Erzhuang: Do you want to go?
Huh? No, why are you still here? Have you been eavesdropping? I didn't lock my phone because I trusted you!

Liu Ke: Is it really okay for you to trample on other people’s privacy like this?

Er Zhuang: I'm concerned about this, too! Damn it for artificially creating disabilities!
Liu Ke: Don't change the subject! Besides, you spend all day on the Internet and your body doesn't get any exercise at all. How can you bear it?

Liu Ke is seriously concerned about this. There are also hackers like this in "Cyberpunk 2077" who like to stay on the Internet. If they do this for a long time, their muscles will atrophy.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no response from the other side.

Did I say something wrong? Liu Ke thought.

------------

In the afternoon, Liu Ke took a taxi to the Nadutong branch.

Because he deliberately wore shit-yellow work clothes, the gatekeeper let him in with a yawn.

I went to the second floor, knocked on the door and entered the "leader's office", only to find that Xu Xiang, Xu Si and Feng Baobao were not there.

There was a man with glasses.

"Hello, I'm Liu Ke. I joined Nadutong a few days ago. I'm here to look for Xu Xiang or Xu Si."

The man with glasses was typing on the computer keyboard. When he saw Liu Ke knocking on the door and coming in, he simply said, "Please sit down." Then he typed a few more words before closing the document.

"I know you. What I just wrote is the report on your incident."

Afterwards, the man with glasses took two teacups, filled the water dispenser with hot water, handed one to Liu Ke, and put coffee powder in the remaining cup.

"Just put whatever you want to drink."

The man with glasses took a sip of his coffee, and perhaps because he felt it was a bit bitter, he paused.

"My name is Xu San."

After adding some boxed creamer and stirring the coffee with a spoon, Xu San sat down on the sofa, frowning and asking, "It's my turn today and my father isn't here. Just tell me if you have anything to say."

Are you really that tired? Is that report difficult to write?
Looking at Mr. Xu San, Liu Ke adjusted his facial muscles and smiled rather stiffly, "Um, I want to ask about the cold storage."

Before he could finish, Xu San waved his hand to interrupt him, then snapped his fingers, and several pieces of paper floated over and landed steadily on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

"I know what you want to ask. Take a look for yourself." Liu Ke picked up the paper. There were a lot of words on it, starting with just two words: 'Beggars'.

After spending ten minutes reading it, Liu Ke had a general understanding of this organization.

Seeing Liu Ke put down the documents, Xu San's spirits seemed to improve. He said, "Eight years ago, my father and the public security bureau swept out the Beggars' Gang in North China. They eliminated all of them, whether they had extraordinary people or not."

"It wasn't just North China. All of the company's regions cracked down on the Beggars' Gang. Within six months, they were eradicated from north to south, and their presence was practically gone from China."

"As for the one that suddenly appeared in the cold storage..."

Xu San paused and said, "We can't rule out a resurgence. After all, things like mutilation and cutting are not only done by extraordinary people, but also by ordinary villains. They have similar tastes, so maybe they've gathered together again."

After saying that, he turned to Liu Ke and asked, "Do you want to take this commission?"

Liu Ke propped his face up with his hands, rubbed himself vigorously with both hands, and said, "Hmm."

Seeing Liu Ke's attitude, Xu San didn't ask any more questions. He pushed his glasses and said, "Then I'll pass this commissioned list and report to you later. When we find any clues, we'll let you know about the specific tasks and dispatch support."

Xu San turned around and said while drinking coffee, "This is your first mission, so you may not understand it very well."

"The company is very tolerant of extraordinary people, but taking action against ordinary people is an absolute red line."

"Anyone who uses the 'Cai Sheng Zhe Ge' technique should be killed directly."

"As for those that cannot be called, or those belonging to ordinary people, just leave them there for now and wait for us to deal with them."

After saying this, Xu San stood up, looked out the window, and said, "Also, as a person, let me say one more thing."

Liu Ke just felt that the sunlight was too strong, and it made Mr. Xu San's face shiny and he couldn't see his eyes clearly.

“There is a limit to how much one can do, so just do your best.”

Just do your best...right?

------------

After receiving the reply, Liu Ke did not stay any longer. He just asked the Finance Department of Nadutong about the payment date of the special subsidy for foreigners, and then left the Nadutong branch.

He called a Didi and rushed directly to the Seventh Teaching Research Institute as soon as he returned to school.

The equipment in the Seventh Teaching and Research Institute is very modern and has a technological aesthetic, especially the material warehouse next to it. After the dean upgraded his "dog tag", he can use all materials at will, except for those that are too rare.

His purpose of coming here is simple, to get some more weapons.

[Prelude] It's good enough for self-defense, but it's not effective enough against enemies.

"Get the production specifications for [Hercules 3AX] and [Nekomata], and get the highest quality."

"And [Fragmentation Grenade]."

"Okay, master."

The Hercules 3AX is a smart weapon, an assault rifle with a 90-round drum magazine. Its overall design is similar to the Thompson, with bullets splattering like ripples. The accompanying bullets can inflict chemical damage, but manufacturing was too complex, so Liu Ke only made a drum magazine.

In "Cyberpunk 2077", if you want to use the locking function of smart objects, you must install [Smart Connection] on your hand. The system-modified access compartment can implement "wireless Bluetooth" within the range, which saves a lot of effort.

The Nekomata is a technical sniper rifle, and its effect is naturally a powerful sniper that can penetrate walls. Paired with his infrared prosthetic eye, it has a rather amusing "killing the enemy with one shot from 800 miles away" feel.

Finally, Liu Ke returned to the dormitory carrying a large box, a sniper rifle, an assault rifle, and three grenades.

"It's a bit too heavy to carry it like this. How about buying a cello case..."
