Necromancer's Second-Original Chat Group

"Xingdi, Xingdi, you are just like a new rock band's work. Even if someone guesses the beginning correctly, they don't know how it will end."

"There's good news too, at least the people on the island won't ostracize her because of the fact that Xingdi is an irrational number."

"Because she's the captain, right? She mistakenly thought the elemental energy cannon attack was an earthquake, and then suspected it was some kind of mystical natural phenomenon or a new change in 'overflow,' so they need a large ship that can take them away in a critical moment. By the way, didn't they have any idea of ​​stealing the ship?"

"At least not yet, the people here are still quite moral."

"After all, they all come from different schools of thought, and they still have to maintain their dignity unless they are pushed to the limit, but we still have to be careful, as people's hearts are unpredictable."

"With the things you left behind, they won't be able to take Apple II."

"Have you connected with the characters in the storyline on the island?"

“Yes, we’ve met Sofia, 37, 6, and 210. They’re on friendly terms now, especially after we offered to stay for a while to observe the situation and provide assistance if needed. They’re now considered honored guests on the island.”

"That's pretty good, a lucky break. It's much better than the treatment in the game's storyline. By the way, have you guys seen Arcana?"

"I saw her. She's plotting something on this island. I plan to make contact with the Unlimited Ones step by step first."

"The Unlimited One is depicted in the game's story as an omniscient being, but such a being does not exist in reality. Or rather, nature itself neither answers nor denies; it simply exists and allows intelligent beings to understand it in their own way. In our hometown, this is called the Tao."

"Does Wan Qi think so?"

"I won't make any hasty judgments about things I haven't seen before. If 37 takes you there, remember to call me and ask her if she can bring another person. I'm quite curious too."

“Okay, I got it.” Veltin nodded, then said, “There’s one more thing.”

"what's up?"

"Have you turned off group notifications?"

"Oh, it's closed."

"why?"

"It's a habit I developed at work. Some bosses think that employees should be treated like slaves and be at their beck and call 24/7. Damn it, they don't even know how much money they're paying us. So my colleagues and I turned off group notifications. After get off work, no matter what the boss yells at us, it's none of our business. If it's too bad, we can just go to a labor court and see who gets hit with the big stick."

"Oh, I see. You probably don't know that Amiya said in the group chat that Kroos is looking for you every day."

"Huh? No, why didn't she call me directly?"

"I guess she was worried about disturbing your work. Amiya is a very considerate person."

"What job do I have? I don't even have anyone to pay my salary right now. Okay, I'll go and bring Xiao Ke over later."

In terms of combat power, the operators on Rhodes Island, relying solely on their physical abilities, could be used as six-star operators in "1999". The difference in civilization and individual capabilities between the two sides is an objective fact.

Of course, this is referring to the real-world situation. If we really want to discuss which storyline is better, I suggest letting Hypergryph fight Deep Blue. Whoever wins will be awesome.

After a brief moment of tenderness, Wan Qi left, and Virtue stood up. A short while later, Sonnet came to her side.

"Si Chen, what are you doing here? Did someone just come by?"

Sonnet, Alert" PG.

"Yes, I discussed the plans with Wan Qi, and his operation is going smoothly."

"Lord Wan Qi, I suddenly feel much more relaxed."

Sonnet knew very well that she was no match for Arcana, not even if they all attacked together. So when she discovered that Wan Qi could appear here at will, the pressure in her heart instantly dropped to almost zero.

Is this what it feels like to have a pillar of strength, a beam of light, in your team? I love it!

"Let's go back and get some rest. Tomorrow we'll explore this place further."

"Okay, Si Chen."

The next day, after meeting with Ilyich, Vanchi directly asked him if he knew a man named Heinrich and described his identity and possible profession. The most important clue, of course, was that he frequented the Secessionist House and was a friend of Isolde's brother.

Don't underestimate the intelligence capabilities of local figures, especially wild mystics like Ilyich who have managed to survive in the cracks and know the local situation inside and out.

"Oh, I think I know that person, an artist who looks very energetic, even overly energetic."

"Asking you about this was definitely the right thing to do. Do you have any information about who he usually associates with?"

“Sir, I am not a professional information broker or a private investigator, but I do know who sells these things.”

Chiding, I'll go check it out.

"This is a bit troublesome, sir. After all, it's a shady gray industry that seriously infringes on personal privacy, so they require someone to vouch for them before providing such services. Of course, I've heard that they have all kinds of intelligence. Whether it's just bluffing or not, the fact that they've survived to this day is enough to prove their strength."

“Someone can vouch for you. Can we use krona as collateral?” Wan Qi took out a bag of gold krona.

Shake it, and you can hear the sound of souls ascending to heaven (European indulgences only).

“Sir, you are very knowledgeable. Of course, this is the best guarantee, or rather, there are plenty of people willing to guarantee for you.”

"Then let's go."

Money makes the world go round. This saying was also true in Vienna in 1913, perhaps even too true. When the king appeared before the other party, even the most stiff expressions became friendly, and the air was filled with an atmosphere of "willing to serve you".

Ilyich first contacted peripheral personnel, who acted as guides to establish contact with those above him. He was then gradually led to the transaction location and the deal was completed in the most secretive way.

After all, being an underground intelligence broker is a very dangerous job; a moment's carelessness can cost you your head. People struggling to survive in the gray area are just trying to make a living, so naturally they have to be extremely careful about their personal safety.

However, after obtaining the second person's contact password, Wan Qi decided to change his plan.

Because a familiar energy fluctuation appeared in his mental perception—it was the energy fluctuation of the Reconstructed Hand mask.

And there are a lot of them.

I've unexpectedly stumbled into the Hand of Reconstruction's stronghold, tsk tsk tsk.

interesting.

Section 88: Ceremony Completed - The Necromancer Receives His Robe and Takes the Oath

(I've been busy working overtime lately, so there might be a sudden break in updates. Special orders are unavoidable. GBP = ('.'*))) Sigh)

St. Love Foundation Headquarters, Vice President's Office

"Vice President, our analysis has completely failed."

The middle-aged congressmen looked extremely frustrated, and the losses reported in the report were particularly painful for them.

All of this was for the purpose of studying red crystals.

The red crystal that had originally fallen into Sofby's villa was recovered by Wan Qi, but under Ms. Z's coordination, Wan Qi provided stable red crystals to the foundation for research. Frankly speaking, Wan Qi was more eager than the foundation to discover something from the research.

Unfortunately, there's nothing the foundation can do.

Even with the current limits of human microscopic technology, the red crystals of the Red Sea still cannot reveal their microscopic structure, as if they had no microscopic composition at all.

It's important to know that what Wan Qi gave them was the purest Red Sea power crystal, a fist-sized piece containing not a single gram of other substances, all of which came from the Red Sea.

This is quite contrary to the common sense of physics. If a substance has no microscopic structure, it should be indestructible. The macroscopic is the microscopic, and the microscopic is the macroscopic. The energy intensity of the two combined is terrifying. Even a water droplet would have to admit that it is about the same as the air in a Lay's potato chip and dare not collide with it.

However, since it's a creation of the occult, it's understandable. We can adjust our research direction and use occult methods for testing.

Then, without any mercy, Hongjing began to brutally beat up everyone who dared to try to activate her power.

Spiritual power, devour.

Mystic art: Devour.

Ritual effect: Devour.

The physical effects directly devoured the physical carrier, transforming it into secondary red crystals. Stimulating the red crystals was extremely unstable, exhibiting destructive power similar to that of the Sufby family villa.

So the researchers ended up with a piece of red crystal derivative that they couldn't move or touch. This thing was even more troublesome than the red crystal itself, so they had to ask Wan Qi for help in dealing with it.

The research has come to a standstill because current technology cannot even analyze the composition of the red crystal; anything too close to it will become something with the same composition.

This absorption has an upper limit, and it will stop once that limit is reached. However, the secondary red crystal contaminants left behind are more than ten thousand times the size of the original red crystals, which is enough to make one's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

Wan Qi could freely control this power; if he attacked the Foundation that day, he could simply unleash a massive flood...

Quickly put on your suit and thank Lord Wan Qi for sparing my life!

"Understood, let's put it on hold for now." Constantine said helplessly after reading the report, "As expected, our way to overcome the 'storm' still requires the Hand of Reconstruction. If there is still no progress in this 'storm,' we should cooperate fully with the Sichen Squad. It's better than being held back by the 'storm' all the time."

The middle-aged councilor hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Vice President, there have been many unpleasant rumors circulating at headquarters recently. What do you think..."

"Let them talk. Do you think a few mouths can replace our work?"

"But that's still not a good idea, since Sichen Tower is right at headquarters."

Constantine knew what the other party was worried about: the mystics within the Foundation were starting to consider the possibility of joining the Sichen Squad, since the atmosphere there was more free in the current environment.

Before comparison, the Foundation was the only refuge; after comparison, Si Chen's team is still more free.

Moreover, they have an unparalleled expert backing them up, which puts them a level above the Foundation in terms of physical strength.

No one has done this yet, mainly because there is a lack of a prominent figure to lead the way. Those members assigned to the Sichen Squad are at least assigned by the Foundation.

If Si Chen's team were to openly demonstrate its autonomy even once, the talent pool at the foundation headquarters would be breached.

Unless they can immediately find someone of Wan Qi's caliber to restrain him, this loophole cannot be plugged at all.

"I think this is a good opportunity to push forward with reforms."

"What does the vice president mean?"

"For a long time, the Foundation has dominated everything related to mystics. The Human Party has become the highest command of the Foundation and its brain. But don't forget, this world is a world made up of both humans and mystics. We share one world, and neither side can monopolize the scales of fate. Now, the wheels of history are speeding in another direction, so we must also make changes."

"You mean the 'Rainstorm Act' should be more radical?"

Constantine shook his head and said, “No, we all know that jumping around won’t destroy order, but extremism will build everything we destroy. It’s not just mystics who are extreme; humans are too, especially the Human Party. Those days made us a little complacent, thinking that the world should operate this way. Those who follow the times won’t drown, but to stand at the forefront of the times, you must grasp its pulse. So, admit it, at least this current era of ‘storm’ is dominated by mystics, and they deserve greater power.”

“Vice President, I have no doubt about your wisdom, but not everyone can keep up with you.”

"It's alright, because when those who can't keep up with the times are eliminated, the times won't even say goodbye. Taking the failure of the Red Crystal research as a starting point, we should have a good talk with that gentleman."

Vienna, slums

The more chaotic a place is, the more likely it is to produce talented and extraordinary people. Taking advantage of the chaos is the motto of these people. They hide in the crowd and use their unique insights and eloquence to make profits from places that others cannot notice. And in this shadow, a lot of evil will naturally breed.

Interestingly, the Reincarnation Hand follows an elitist path, believing that mystics dominate everything. However, the best mystics are generally well-off and hold high positions, so they don't care about their ideals. Therefore, these people changed their original path to a "bloodline path," meaning that only mystics with a certain bloodline purity can join them.

Then these people started competing with the foundation for people, starting from the bottom up.

Well, it's quite sad, because the easiest to fool and the most vulnerable to being bullied by intelligence brokers are those mystics who seem no different from ordinary people. Many of them actually do jobs that are not much different from ordinary people. Being a mystic only represents another identity for them, but it cannot change their current lives.

Upon arriving here, Wan Qi used his extraordinary spiritual power to detect the energy fluctuations of the Reshaping Hand mask. However, after passing through the crowd, he found that the Reshaping Hand was very easy to find.

Because these people generally keep a certain distance from ordinary people, they maintain a respectable demeanor despite living in a slum, much like ducks mixed in with a flock of chickens.

They are Kong Yiji in another sense, but even their pretense is not convincing.

However, as long as they are here, government officials generally will not come to the stinking slums. The patrol teams will only patrol the streets. Their uniforms do not allow them to mingle with the poor when they are not wielding batons. Even if they do not earn much money in a month, they must stand tall in front of the poor.

"Sir, this is the place."

With the help of Wanqi's gold krona pass, they arrived at the "underground house" without any trouble.

Just by looking at the layout of this well-hidden storefront, you can tell that this place is perfect for intelligence gathering. Only a fool would make their agents as conspicuous as 007.

The two went inside, but to Ilyich's surprise, the intelligence that Vanchi had purchased had nothing to do with Heinrich.

Of course it doesn't matter, because when Wan Qi walked in, he sensed two Reconstruction Hand masks. One of them had a very strong Reconstruction Hand surgical aura, so strong that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was seasoned with it. He was probably a veteran employee who had survived more than one "storm".

Considering that Heinrich was most likely a member of the Reshaping Hand, it was natural not to ask for such obvious information. However, the fact that traces of the Reshaping Hand could be found here also proved the extent of the Reshaping Hand's infiltration into the area.

So the question is, has the Reincarnation initiative only penetrated this one place, or is it being carried out worldwide?

Don't forget, this is a terrorist organization that can rival the Foundation. To achieve this, it must have a global presence like the Foundation. With Arcana's skills, she couldn't possibly not have such a presence.

By the same token, if they could replace or win over the entire European underworld, or even a portion of the bureaucracy, wouldn't it be difficult to orchestrate a major event?

After completing the intelligence transaction, Vanchi and Ilyich left the "Underground House".

After returning to the safe area of ​​the inner city, Wan Qi found a nearby phone booth and took out a special phone card.

This thing was given to him by Ms. Z. It's called "Universal Telephone Connector." You just need to place it on a telephone device, and its built-in mystical magic will connect the lines inside and then connect to the telephone at the foundation's headquarters.

It sounds amazing, but it was actually just a special signal device that was temporarily installed. Mysticism allowed it to break through the limitations of the original technology and directly contact the foundation headquarters in this era without satellites and base stations.

Wanqi also has similar technology, but the foundation headquarters' communication lines require a dedicated internal card and number.

Ms. Z's office at the headquarters of the St. Love Foundation

Today was another busy day, with Ms. Z working on the details of the "Rainstorm Reform Act".

After the general framework is passed, various detailed problems will be encountered during the implementation of the policy. If these problems are not resolved, small problems will become big problems and then become obstacles. Therefore, while passing the bill is important, the operation and supplementation of the bill are equally important. A bill without the ability to be implemented is just a fine piece of toilet paper. The only difference between it and toilet paper is that it has not been used yet.

Ring ring ring…
