Casting spells

It is not easy to build a global intelligence network from scratch, especially in a country like Iraq that has just tried its best to fight a real war and is full of turmoil and danger.

Leonid explained quite proudly: "It's more than good! We can get 400 million to 600 million US dollars a month in the Middle East, including selling oil, intelligence, weapons, medicines, daily necessities, drugs, etc., There are also several restaurants and hotels in downtown Baghdad that are also secretly under our indirect control. As long as you say a word, I can immediately make chaos there, even if the United States deploys so many troops, it will be useless."

"War, pain, hatred, chaos, and death, I didn't expect you to move so fast. But don't worry, find some archaeological and geological experts for me before you make that place a complete mess. I need to identify some An ancient map." As he spoke, Zhang Cheng sent the high-definition photo of the parchment map over the satellite network.

In less than two or three seconds, Leonid received the photo, glanced at it, and immediately assured him: "Please rest assured, within a week at most, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"Very good! I'm waiting for your news." Zhang Cheng never doubted the ability of the other party, and hung up the phone neatly.

In any case, the current Iraq is not the country that has experienced more than ten or twenty years of war and was ravaged by various mercenaries and extreme religious terrorists. There are still many experts and professors in some museums and universities. Getting a map should be Not a problem.

Once the location is confirmed, he will set off immediately to see what the real seal looks like.

……

At the same time, Leonid, who was located in the secret underground base in the Pacific Ocean, also quickly conveyed the task. After a while, the materials of more than a dozen archaeologists and geologists in Iraq were sent back.

After a simple screening, he quickly locked on two of them, and without turning his head, he said to the silent girl standing behind: "Yelena, take this map with you immediately and go to Iraq yourself. Remember, the action must be Be quick, I don't want anything to go wrong."

"Obey!" The young girl who looked like a loli immediately stood at attention and gave a standard Soviet-style military salute.

But just as she was about to turn around and leave, Leonid seemed to remember something again, raised his hand to stop him and said, "Wait! There is one more thing! Recently, the CIA has been too quiet, so quiet that I Feeling flustered. If you have time, stop by and clear our intelligence personnel in Iraq to see if anyone has betrayed or betrayed the organization."

"Understood! No matter who it is, as long as he dares to betray, I will make him regret being born in this world." A icy chill flashed in Yelena's eyes.

If anyone in the entire intelligence organization has the highest loyalty, it is undoubtedly an "old team" like her who has been hiding in South America for several years with Leonid.

Because these people have all experienced life like stray dogs with no background and no home, hiding all day long for fear of being recognized as KGB spies. Living this kind of life for a long time is almost a mental breakdown.

So if someone dares to destroy the current stable life, they will not hesitate to use the cruelest punishment to let the betrayer understand that death is not the most terrible thing, but sometimes it is a kind of beautiful relief, at least it can escape pain and pain. torment.

"Remember our old rules? Don't be stingy! Take them out when necessary!"

When he said this, the corners of Leonid's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a chilling smile.

Anyone who saw him smile like that shivered subconsciously and began to secretly pray for the intelligence personnel stationed in Iraq that none of them would betray.

otherwise……

It is best to put a bullet in the head before the torture begins, so as to die early and be reborn early.

Chapter 8 The Mystery of Death

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Cheng began to inspect the wild animals in the living room with a rather troublesome gaze.

According to his habit, the best way to deal with ordinary animals like this with low IQ and no special abilities is to destroy them humanely, and directly use the disintegration technique to disintegrate them into harmless dust particles and blow them away with the wind.

After all, he is not an animal protectionist, and he never thinks that wild animals have any value worth protecting.

Survival of the fittest is originally a part of the life evolution process. If an animal cannot adapt to the changes and destruction of the environment by humans, it proves that it has been eliminated, and other creatures will naturally fill its position in the food chain.

However, considering that Elizabeth might use some of them, Zhang Cheng finally refrained from doing it, and rushed them to a room in the corridor on the right side of the first floor.

After finishing all this, I lay lazily on the sofa in the living room, looking through the missed calls and messages during my absence.

Soon, one of the unremarkable pieces of information aroused his interest.

Just when he was about to make a phone call to inquire about the specific situation, the magical energy permeating the air suddenly fluctuated strongly, and then a familiar figure directly tore through the space and came out from the other side.

"Ah! You are finally back, my friend." Faust leaned slightly with one hand on his chest.

This strange man who holds the title of the strongest necromancer, his face is paler now than it was a few months ago. If the internal organs were not still working as usual, he would be no different from a resurrected corpse.

"How did you know I'm back?" Zhang Cheng asked slightly surprised.

You must know that he has only left hell not long ago, and he has not met anyone so far, and the various evasion spells on his body are enough to resist various magical detections.

"It's very simple! Through your mobile phone. I found that every time you disappear inexplicably, the mobile phone will always be turned off or unable to connect, but as soon as you come back, it will immediately connect to the communication network." Faust Grinning and explaining.

I have to say that this answer is both unexpected and reasonable.

Zhang Cheng pretended to be helpless and sighed: "Oh, well, it seems that you discovered a little secret of mine, didn't you? Tell me, what's the hurry?"

Faust smiled and shook his head: "No, it's not urgent. On the contrary, I'm here to tell you the good news that the goddess's corpse has been completed, and she is the top three masterpieces among all my works. In order to express my respect for Thanks to you for giving up the competition, I decided to give you a book, a secret book that records the mystery of death."

"The mystery of death?!" Zhang Cheng heard these words, and his eyes flashed with anticipation.

In the world of Harry Potter, he once triggered a thermonuclear war on a global scale, with billions of people wanting to get a glimpse of the secrets of the rules of death.

But who would have thought that it would be interrupted by a strange light group in the end.

"Yes! The mystery of death! I can feel that, in essence, you and I are actually the same kind of people, who are so obsessed with knowledge and power. Believe me, this book will not let you down..."

As he spoke, Faust gently placed a book that looked dirty and old with dark brown pages on the table, and then left a meaningful smile, his whole body gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared in place .

Feeling the strong breath of death emanating from this book, Zhang Cheng frowned subconsciously, and stretched out his right hand to open the first page to see what was written inside.

The moment the fingertips touched the cover, the pages suddenly flipped by themselves.

Before he could react to what was going on, he discovered that a force pulled him into another world, a world completely composed of spirit and consciousness.

"This is!!!" Zhang Cheng stared wide-eyed and looked around.

When I looked around, there were all gray dead trees without leaves, and the visibility was very low, giving people a very strong hint of death.

"What is death?" A phantom shrouded in a gray cloak suddenly appeared out of thin air and asked loudly.

"Who are you? Where is this place?" Instead of answering the other party's question, Zhang Cheng raised his own question.

But unfortunately, Xu Ying obviously does not intend to answer any questions, or does not have the ability to answer questions, but just keeps asking repeatedly: "What is death?"

Every time it makes a sound, the entire deadwood forest will produce a creepy echo, as if something is hidden deep in it.

"Damn! I seem to be in trouble..." Zhang Cheng complained angrily.

Obviously, this secret book is not a book at all, but a connection point, a transmission key, which directly tightens the consciousness of the person who touches the pages of this mysterious space.

Most importantly, he wasn't sure if there was any difference in the flow of time between the two worlds.

It would be fine if the flow rate of time in the real world is static, but if it is similar to the flow rate of the real world, then the unconscious body will be in a very dangerous and unprotected state.

As a person who is very vigilant about everything, this is no different from a fish lying on the chopping board to be slaughtered.

And because the whole world is completely composed of consciousness, all the equipment and magic items on Zhang Cheng's body were not brought in, so the only thing he can rely on right now is his own mind.

"What is death?" Xu Ying asked tirelessly again.

"Death is the end of life, the final destination of everything in the world and even the universe. Nothing can escape the final death, even death itself is no exception." Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment, and quickly gave his understanding of death .
