After Gecko accepted the setting that Chen Zhong took the initiative to tell him, Lu Xin continued:
"This time they came to our Qinggang to snatch the painting. However, he didn't know who specifically commissioned it and who should give the commission. This is the rule in their team. They have complete trust in Qin Ran and don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked."
"In addition to grabbing this painting, they seem to have two secondary tasks."
"One is that for this mission, they purchased the ten-thousand-level weapon called 'Weeping Boy mental pollution bomb' from an organization. It is said that this weapon is only an experimental product, so when they use it, they also need to record the specific data of the bomb. Handing the data to the organization that sold them the bomb can be regarded as completing a commission."
"It's just that because Qin Ran took over that organization, he doesn't know much about it."
"..."
"Mental Pollution bomb?"
Gecko heard this name and thought for a moment, "Is it the one we solved at that time?"
Lu Xin nodded and said, "That's it, but the bomb was deactivated by us early, so he said the mission was a failure. According to Qin Ran, this bomb can only detonate when the spiritual level reaches 10,000..."
At this point, he paused and said, "It is considered a success."
Gecko also knew why his voice became heavier. They all remembered so many corpses under the south wall at that time.
"Damn bastard!"
Gecko cursed.
Lu Xin nodded and said, "He is indeed a bastard!"
"This group of bastards is much more hateful than the group of marauding knights in the wilderness..."
Gecko cursed again and then said, "Where is the third mission?"
At this time, it was Lu Xin's turn to be silent. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I didn't ask."
"Huh?"
Gecko looked at Lu Xin in surprise.
Lu Xin said, "This matter was finally explained, but he couldn't hold it anymore at that time."
While saying this, Lu Xin glanced at Mom and his sister in the rearview mirror.
I saw that neither Mom nor his sister had any abnormal reactions, as if they had not heard about this...
And this also proves Lu Xin's suspicion that it would be normal for Mom and his sister to have abnormal reactions.
If they didn't respond, it meant that something was not normal, so...
...Is it true that my sister didn't ask on purpose?
This was an internal matter within the family, and Lu Xin did not say much to Gecko.
He continued, "He collapsed too quickly, so it's a pity. According to his own admission, there were three ability users and four extremely experienced mercenaries in their team. What is certain is that the Rose Flower incident was caused by a member named Big Head Ghost in their team, but they had an agreement not to take the initiative to inquire about each other's abilities."
"As for Qin Ran, he only confessed one word..."
Lu Xin After saying this, he raised his head slightly, as if he was a little confused. "Can't be killed."
"Immortal?"
Gecko couldn't help but be slightly startled after hearing this.
After being startled for a moment, he said, "At that time, the research department speculated that his ability might be related to rebirth. Is it really so evil?"
Lu Xin did not answer.
At this time, he also thought of the Sifang Transportation Company, Qin Ran, and the Human-shaped Fruit Tree tree at the bottom of the lake.
"Are you sure he told the truth?"
Gecko also frowned and said, "Didn't he say that he had fought with Qin Ran?"
Lu Xin shook his head and said, "What he said at the time was that it was because he had fought against Qin Ran that he did not understand Qin Ran's ability. When he fought against Qin Ran, he did not wait until Qin Ran fully showed his ability, and he was already defeated..."
"..."
Gecko nodded and didn't say much, but there was a slight shadow on his face.
A battle between ability users is a very dangerous thing.
Especially when fighting an esper with unknown abilities, you don't know what situation you will encounter.
"But fortunately I asked something else..."
At this time, Lu Xin sighed softly and his expression became more relaxed.
Upon hearing this, Gecko hurriedly turned to look at him nervously, and saw a smile on Lu Xin's face:
"I asked about the whereabouts of Qin Ran."
Gecko suddenly became slightly nervous, and his expression became very serious.
"According to the Chen Zhong's confession, the reason why Qin Ran wanted to be separated from him temporarily was because he was worried that he had been targeted. Therefore, he did not tell him where he would go, nor did he say where he would go to meet the client who received the painting. He only made an agreement that if nothing happens to everyone, wait until three months later and then meet at a High Wall City in the south."
"..."
"Ah this..."
Gecko couldn't help being surprised after hearing this, and subconsciously slowed down the car.
At this time, his face was really confused. "Then the clue has been broken again?"
Although he had already expected that the tracking this time would not be so easy, it was not until this moment that he realized that the people in the Knights were really more cunning and vigilant than he thought, and it was actually so difficult to track them.
"It's okay."
Lu Xin shook his head and said slowly, "After he decided to confess, he became very cooperative. Although Qin Ran did not tell him where he was going, he tried to recall it and remembered a habit of Qin Ran. He said that the boss, every time he encountered something risky, he would go to a place to hide for a few days. After the news passed, he would continue to act."
"And the place where they want to trade things this time is also in the south, so it is very likely that he will go there to hide for a few more days."
"..."
"That's okay..."
Gecko was stunned for a moment, and then said nervously, "Where is it?"
"The end of Highway 85, not far from Cigarette Market, he said that place is called..."
After pondering for a while, Lu Xin said, "Happy Town?"
"Squeak!"
Suddenly, there was a harsh braking sound from the off-road vehicle, and Lu Xin in the car shook violently.
Fortunately, Lu Xin was wearing a seat belt.
Glancing at Mom in the back seat, Lu Xin found that she was still sitting very firmly and was not affected at all. However, the sister on the roof of the car was thrown out with a "whoosh". At this time, she was lying on the front hood of the car fiercely, baring her teeth at Gecko.
He looked at Gecko strangely, not knowing why he was nervous.
"Brother..."
Gecko's voice trembled slightly. "Are you sure it's that place?"
Lu Xin nodded and said, "What's the matter?"
Gecko wanted to say something, but didn't say it. He just leaned over quickly, pulled out the map from the cabinet below, unfolded it on the steering wheel, moved his fingers slowly on it, and quickly stopped at one of the locations, saying, "Here?"
Lu Xin saw where he was pointing and nodded slowly.
At this time, he also understood why Gecko had such a big reaction.
This map not only indicates which roads are easy to walk, which roads are difficult to walk, and which roads are cut off at the end or have certain dangers. It also marks the locations of some human gathering points, and their dangers are marked with different symbols.
Just like Blackwater Town, it is marked with two symbols: "Market" and "oil", as well as a skull.
This means that there are still certain dangers in Blackwater Town and you need to be careful.
On the map, there are several other places marked with other symbols.
For example, the one with two skulls represents that there is a group of vicious knights with a notorious reputation.
There is another place marked with three skulls, which is also a gathering point for humans. However, they had previously robbed Qinggang City's transport convoy, and were retaliated by Qinggang's army, killing their leader at the time. Now, the new leader has taken over the power and is still fighting to the death with Qinggang City. Whenever he meets someone from Qinggang, he will take crazy revenge...
But where Gecko pointed, there were five skulls marked in a row, followed by an eye-catching question mark.
The entire area was painted black, occupying a space the size of a fingernail.
The size of a fingernail on the map is, in reality, an area close to the size of two Satellite City.
"What does this mean?"
Lu Xin frowned and asked Gecko.
"It means you can't get close here, otherwise you can't get in or get out."
Four updates today, and I'll report yesterday's results to everyone!
