End of Mystery

Xiao Xiao said what seemed to be a joke, and with a joking expression, he described things that seemed to be a joke.

But everyone present could see that he was not joking.

... He was actually conveying his plan to everyone, hunting down the mysterious source.

Even using the remains of the mysterious source as the skeleton of the Noah plan they are about to implement, this kind of thing makes everyone feel weird. Indeed, when everyone first heard that the Noah plan needs a million points, they felt incredible , It's not like the total amount of points you can earn, but, is your plan to hunt down the mysterious source feasible?

So, President Xiao of our meeting is really crazy, right?

In a silent and oppressive atmosphere, everyone stared blankly at Xiao Xiao, without saying a word for a long time.

Only Xiaosi, after pouring water for Xiao Xiao, squatted next to the water dispenser with a kettle in his hand, and reacted strangely to everyone:

The first day you knew he was crazy?

...

...

After maintaining a sluggish expression for a long time, everyone slowly came to their senses, and reluctantly looked away. Although the president did seem crazy, and the plan did seem to be joking, but after all, he is the president of Heimen City. Long, and obviously a president who doesn't listen to persuasion very much, so since he wants to hunt down the mysterious source, others have to think seriously: How to hunt down the mysterious source?

There is no answer to this question.

So everyone just changed their dull eyes to doubtful ones, and turned to Xiao Xiao again.

Facing everyone's unifying doubtful eyes, Xiao Xiao only slowly gave a very simple answer:

"Attract it, trap it, kill it!"

"..."

Everyone suddenly realized, with embarrassed but polite smiles on their faces: It really makes sense!

While looking at each other, it was the red-eyed Ling Ping who was the most prestigious in Heimen City besides Mr. Ye and Yang Jia. He raised his head and asked Xiao Xiao: "If you really want to implement such a plan, what is my first plan?" It's a simple question..."

"...What is the mysterious source?"

"..."

Looking at Ling Ping's eyes that were faintly red even in normal times, Xiao Xiao knew that he was serious about this question. Ling Ping with red eyes was actually a very prudent person, but he used to be a newcomer when he was still a newcomer. , I had a conflict with myself, so when I encountered something, it was difficult to discuss it directly with myself, and the question he asked now represented his opinion.

If you want to hunt down the mysterious source, at least you know what the mysterious source is, right?

If you don't know, it's just a joke, so don't continue to scare your own people.

If you really know, then you are the chairman, and everyone must respect your opinion.

After all, everyone knows the term "mysterious source". They know that it is a general term for the will of the city, and they can feel its existence in person. However, they do not have a clear concept of its definition and its nature. For many For foreigners, regarding the source of mystery, it is like a blind man touching an elephant, knowing that he is touching an elephant, but unable to give a complete and specific description.

Just before this day, Xiao Xiao was actually vague about the answer.

But he had already communicated with the shepherd, so he looked at Ling Ping seriously, and replied softly:

"Don't feel so scared."

"The mysterious source is actually a deformed creature."

"..."

"Wow..."

Hearing Xiao Xiao's answer, there was an uproar all around, and some people even showed absurd expressions on their faces.

Everyone knows about abnormal creatures, and so does the mysterious source, but one of them is dirty, distorted, and weird, and they are their own prey. High-dimensional, transcendent, like an illusory god to oneself, belongs to oneself and needs allegiance, even an indescribable transcendent existence, how can it be equated?

And Xiao Xiao looked at their astonishment, took a deep breath, and slowly explained: "It is true."

"Sometimes, we are too close to some problems, but it is not easy to describe."

"On the contrary, in some materials left by the old president, the research is very clear. He believes that the mysterious source is a more powerful abnormal creature. They all have the characteristics of pollution, parasitism, assimilation, etc. The difference is only a chaotic and disordered creature. , only spread according to instinct, the other one is stable and powerful, we look at it, just like the aborigines look at abnormal creatures..."

"...To add, in the eyes of the aborigines, abnormal creatures are just chaotic and disordered spiritual bodies."

"..."

Now Xiao Xiao doesn't intend to tell them about the communication between himself and the shepherd.

That means a lot of explaining.

So I can only humiliate the old president, let's make my image even better!

It was obviously the first time for everyone to hear this theory, their eyes were dimmed, and they wanted to refute but didn't know where to start.

Mr. Ye reacted faster, and said through the phone in the office: "Why do you say that?"

"because……"

Xiao Xiao paused slightly, and said: "The old president has done a lot of research, whether it is the theory of foreigners or the theory of aborigines, so he has explored some contexts. In our eyes, abnormal creatures are divided into D and C. , B, A, among them, the first three are not uncommon, and the highest level of danger that our Black Gate City has dealt with is only a B-level Rotten Kingdom, but what is higher?"

"For most foreigners, A-level or higher abnormal creatures seem to only exist in other people's cities."

"Or the bragging of those people on the forum."

"But in fact, we all know, or even have seen, A-level abnormal creatures. That is the source of mystery."

"Once a B-level abnormal creature breaks away from the shackles of the city, escapes into the sea of ​​mist, and becomes an individual that exists alone, then it already belongs to the category of mysterious sources. However, this lowest-level mysterious source is in the In the misty sea, there are only beings that are preyed on, and the mysterious sources that can survive relatively safely are basically S-class..."

"S-class, in theory, is the highest level of deformed creatures that we foreigners can handle."

"Similarly, it is also the weakest source of mystery in theory..."

"A-level deformed creatures, you can understand that they are between the deformed creatures and the mysterious source. If they stay in the city, they can only be regarded as deformed creatures. If they escape to the sea of ​​mist, they are the mysterious source. Devour that..."

"..."

"..."

Xiao Xiao narrates clearly and talks eloquently.

Knowing his identity, and having met that mysterious girl in Night City, it was not difficult for him to accept this.

But for the other foreigners in Heimen City, it is no different from a fairy tale. Some people subconsciously want to reprimand Xiao Xiao for talking nonsense, but after listening to him talking about the old president, they suddenly think of the former president who really lived for a long time. I have spent all my energy on the old man who understands the world. I feel that what he said makes sense, and when I think about it subconsciously, I feel horrified for a while...

"No wonder the old president was able to formulate such a whimsical idea as Noah's plan..."

"We all know that the old president's strength and knowledge far exceed our imagination, but now we understand that he is even more powerful than we imagined. Once such a theory is publicized, it may cause an uproar on the forum. Bar?"

"..."

On the other hand, Lin Bo, who was listening to the meeting in Heimen City, was momentarily stunned.

"The old president of Heimen City is really amazing..."

"It's just that this theory sounds a bit like the words collected by the Dante organization from the aborigines?"

"Could it be that the understanding of the world by the aborigines and foreigners will become more consistent after reaching a certain level?"

"..."

Xiao Xiao gave them time to digest this theory, and then slowly said: "Of course, you can't take a peek."

"The information left by the old president clearly stated that although the two are essentially the same, their levels are completely different. Just like a D-level deformed creature, even if it is killed, it only has a dozen points, and a C-level creature , it is already a level of several hundred points, B-level can even reach several thousand, correspondingly, A-level abnormal creatures, one of which is legendary, is worth tens of thousands."

"..."

As he spoke, he thought about it, and slowly shared the information given to him by the shepherd in the name of the old president.

What is connected with this theory is the power level of the mysterious source.

If A-level deformed creatures are only worth tens of thousands of points, then the deformed creatures that can survive in the misty sea and are regarded as the source of mystery are probably at least hundreds of thousands of points, and the slightly stronger ones are worth millions of points. .

And when everyone first heard the connection between the mysterious source and the deformed creatures, it was inevitable that they subconsciously lowered the level of the mysterious source.

It wasn't until I finished listening to this set of theories that I suddenly realized that I was indeed being abrupt.

Regardless of whether the essence is a deformed creature or not, how can you underestimate the existence that can already reach tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of points?

Back then, the B-level rotten kingdom in Heimen City had already troubled everyone for a long time.

If an A-level one comes, can we deal with it?

…No, judging from the current strength level of Heimen City, the A-level is indeed not a big problem.

Moreover, theoretically speaking, Heimen City has already dealt with the A-level distortion incident. The man who was favored by death was actually a level-A distortion creature. However, his nature determined that he did not want to pollute others, so he It became a unique weapon until it was detonated by Xiao Xiao, instantly killing hundreds of members of the hell organization.

So, strictly speaking, the danger level of that distortion event was really too high to imagine.

But it was actually the hell organization that paid the price.

However, does this mean that the Black Gate City has just stopped for a long time, and it is going to fight against a higher level of danger?

In this regard, Xiao Xiao, with the keenness of an insight, noticed the thoughts of everyone, and comforted them with a smile:

"Things didn't necessarily go that smoothly."

"Although the lowest-level mysterious source is equivalent to an S-level abnormal creature."

"But what we want to hunt is very likely not just an existence as weak as S-class."

"..."

Mr. Ye's voice sounded low and low, and he said the words to support Xiao Xiao: "It is true."

"The lowest-level mysterious source is only suitable for wandering in the sea of ​​mist, occasionally polluting a few people, or cooperating with a certain group of pirates. However, what we have to face is those who already have their own brand, and it The branded people can even travel freely between cities, and compared with us foreigners, they all have a mysterious source of clear strength, and its rank..."

"...unimaginable."

"..."

Everyone understood this question, but their faces turned pale.

That's right, that mysterious source is the existence that left a mark on Yang Jia.

Everyone already knows Yang Jia's strength. She is a well-known strongman in the circle of foreigners. She once wiped out an organization with disagreements without blinking an eye, so she got the name of black hand Yang Jia. Then, the mysterious source behind her How strong should it be?

In other words, how many branders are as strong as Yang Jia?

All it takes is the simplest comparison, and the strength of both sides is clear at a glance.

How many Yang Jias can fight against at most at the same time in the current Heimen City?

...

...

This is a question that makes people feel more and more hopeless the more you think about it, probably because you sensed that the atmosphere was not right, but an unexpected person took the initiative to speak up and broke the deadlock. Old Zhou under the bridge was able to remain silent when discussing affairs in Heimen City. He didn't speak, but at this moment, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Xiao Xiao, and said, "According to your plan, how do you lure it over?"

Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and answered seriously: "The first step in the three-step plan is easy to complete."

"We don't need to do anything special, it will definitely come."

"Look at me now... What is not pleasing to our Noah's plan is the mysterious source. Yang Jia is only controlled by it through branding. As branders, they cannot resist the will of deformed creatures, so they will definitely come to Heimen again. city."

"Use all means to come to our Black Gate City."

"..."

"We talk about hunting and killing, but we are actually defending and counterattacking?"

Everyone's lips moved, and many words were swallowed back, and subconsciously followed the old Zhou at the bottom of the bridge to ask:

"What about the next two steps?"

"How to trap a powerful mysterious source?"

"And how to kill it?"

"..."

"That's something we need to brainstorm."

Xiao Xiao had been waiting for them to ask this question, so he smiled and said softly: "Mr. Ye and I will consider this question and find some feasible solutions, but if you have any methods, you can tell them, of course , So far, what all of us need to do is to raise our own strength, only in this way can we realize the possibility of the plan.”

As he spoke, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he said: "I know that you have already made a lot of money in the gambling fight with the hell organization before, so now, I suggest that you save the part that needs to train newcomers. , don’t worry about the rest.”

"The strength of Heimen City needs a big upgrade."

"..."

When this question was mentioned, everyone felt a little relieved.

Before organizing a gamble with Hell, everyone did get a big harvest, and the point cards were collected in a large box. According to the unwritten rules among foreigners, the points in these point cards can be kept by themselves. They have to return it to the Hell Organization, which is still stored in the Red Eye Club, and they have not found a chance to return it to them, and everyone has already kept the points.

But he really didn't dare to use it, worried that Xiao Xiao would let them turn it in in the name of the president.

But hearing what it means now, Xiao Xiao has indicated that they can use most of it on himself?

In normal times, this is definitely a happy event worth a drink.

But now, because of the appearance of the plan to hunt down the mysterious source, everyone is not excited...

...Of course, they kept the points and prepared to turn them in, and they really underestimated Xiao Xiao. Just a few points, how can they turn them in? Come on, there is absolutely no need to do this.

...After all, if they turn in the points, what if they are also implicated and take out the points for public use?

... You can earn tens of thousands at most, but I have more than a hundred thousand!

...

At this point in the discussion, there was no need to continue. Under the arrangement of Mr. Ye, everyone left worriedly. After all, this plan is not really to be discussed with everyone, but just an announcement. Xiao Xiao neither planned to discuss with these people whether he must hunt down the mysterious source, nor did he really expect them to give any valuable advice.

In the final analysis, the only one who can help is Mr. Ye.

"As long as it is beneficial to the old president's plan to stay, I will not try to stop it."

When everyone left, Mr. Ye said to Xiao Xiao seriously: "But I must also remind you that even if Heimen City can really collectively improve the strength of a level, it will be difficult to compete with the mysterious source. terrible……"

Xiao Xiao frowned and said, "You seem worried?"

"Now I have a lot of points in my hand, and I should be able to exchange them for many powerful weapons."

"..."

"For you at this time, the weapon that can be called a powerful weapon is A-level."

Mr. Ye immediately said: "But if you are an enemy of the mysterious source, A-level weapons may not be very meaningful. Unless you are born with some kind of logical restraint, otherwise A-level weapons will be superimposed, and it will be very difficult to defeat them. An S-level piece, and I judged from Ms. Yang Jia's strength, the subordinates of this mysterious source, like her, surpassed the A-level in strength, and even approached the S-level..."

"...I'm afraid it won't be less."

"..."

"That's the problem."

Xiao Xiao replied lightly: "Since it is a problem, just think about how to solve it."

"But I will definitely do it."

"..."

He did not explain to Mr. Ye why he would do it, but only expressed his firm attitude.

Mr. Ye expressed his understanding with silence, but before disappearing, he suddenly thought of a question: "I don't understand..."

"Before I arrived, you did not lose in the fight with Yang Jia."

"I can feel that Yang Jia at that time had already used her extreme power as a brander..."

"Theoretically, you are far from her opponent now, why can you survive?"

"..."

"this……"

There were so many things that happened that day, even Xiao Xiao hadn't seriously analyzed this issue yet, so he was startled when he heard this.

really.

At that time, I didn't even summon the butcher, but simply fought against Yang Jia with the Thorn Dog and Miss Record Player, and neither of them seemed to have any effect on Yang Jia at the time, but I did survive Yang Jia's best effort against me catch...

why is that?

What kind of strength can allow oneself to fight against the brander with all his strength?

The clear feeling that the heart was beating at that time, and the whole city merged with him immediately flashed through his mind clearly.

Xiao Xiao also felt a little strange...

...Could it be that I am also a brander?

...

Mr. Ye seemed to see Xiao Xiao's thoughts, and said softly: "In theory, unless your personal enhancement has reached the taboo level...you are obviously not, I can see...otherwise no one will be the opponent of the brander, Unless you are another brander yourself. Of course, I have no intention of prying into your secrets, I just need to ask this question, and you find the answer yourself."

"As for the plan to hunt down the mysterious source, I will collect as much information as possible."

"President, please think carefully about all this."

"..."

After saying these words, he quietly exited the telephone in the office.

Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, really sat on the sofa for a long time because of his reminder. He could feel that he was able to resist Yang Jia's arrest at that time, all because of his unextinguished heart. What role will the fourth element obtained by Dicheng play? What is it that gives him the qualification and power to wrestle with a brander?

He felt a little confused in his heart, but Xiao Xiao quickly forced himself to wake up.

Now is not the time to focus on these things, because the plan to hunt down the mysterious source and rescue Yang Jia is serious, so I still need to make a lot of arrangements, and I need to spend part of my time communicating and negotiating with the shepherd.

In addition, if you want to hunt down the mysterious source, then you need to find your friends... the white demons organized by hell, it is necessary to learn from them, right?

After all, the hell organization once killed the mysterious source.

It is also necessary to find Dante's organization through Lin Bo and learn more about "Mr. Du" behind the door, right?

Yang Jia is a member of Dante's organization, and they cannot stand by.

As for the rest...

... Xiao Xiao took a deep breath, slowly stood up from the sofa, put on his coat, and walked downstairs silently.

The Thorn Dog, Miss Jukebox, The Butcher...

Now I have more than 100,000 points on hand, and I got it without spending any money. Then, now I use these points to give these old friends who have been following me all the time a wave of strengthening. Is it reasonable?

Except, of course, Miss Jukebox.

She is so sensible, she will complete the strengthening by herself.
