Enforcer's Handbook

Song Lan brought the important information he got from Jasmine back to the garbage dump. Madele listed all the details on the note and murmured to herself, "Strict ethnic system, hierarchical management, I I’ve never seen anything like this before.”

Not only are these worms intelligent, but they also know how to extract knowledge from humans.

"This is not their final form yet. If we leave them alone, perhaps soon they will give birth to a group of people whose intelligence and creativity are no less than that of humans."

Not since the Stone Age has humanity been so threatened by another group of people.

Song Lan said, "Moli said that their actions are all controlled by liaisons. The liaisons are likely to be company executives, managers of a certain department, or politicians, and they have a lot of social resources in their hands. "

"It's too broad."

Dr. Bai Zhu shook his head, "There are too many people who meet these requirements. There are at least dozens of them in District 17."

Looking for the replaced person is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, while the liaison officer is hidden deeper and will never appear at the "front desk". All the dirty work is done by the engineers in the group.

These engineers are absolutely loyal to the group, and even the consciousness of the Devourer cannot affect them.

Even when imprisoned in a vessel, worms will still be extremely aggressive towards anyone who passes by them.

Medel analyzed that this is most likely because worms are direct creations of consciousness aggregates, which allows them to avoid being intruded by similar creations. It is almost impossible for these worms to reveal their contacts.

"Luckily they're targeting you."

Dr. Bai Zhu lamented that anyone targeted by this group of worms that could turn into anyone would be in danger. Even they had no way of knowing how many "engineer" branches there were in District 17.

"What do you mean it's lucky that their target is me? Don't you have any sympathy at all?"

Song Lan was not happy anymore.

"Their healing abilities have limits. This difficult characteristic should be no different to you than a blank slate."

Among the employees at the garbage dump, Medelle was most deeply affected by the Devourer's consciousness, so she could often feel the Devourer's respect for Song Lan from the swarm's consciousness. "The way to kill them is very simple. As long as you annihilate their bodies into dust in an instant, the worms parasitizing in their bodies will also die together."

After her trip to the Third Neutral Country, Medel finally understood Devourer's feelings for Song Lan.

It didn't just come from fear, but from the heart's admiration, treating him as a god or a father.

All these emotions towards the consciousness aggregate were transferred to Song Lan for some reason.

Could it be that when their consciousnesses were connected, Devourer mistook him for a consciousness aggregate? After all, if upper-level life forms really exist, Song Lan and the consciousness aggregate are most likely at the same level.

This is……

The 2167 version of recognizing a thief as a father?

Song Lan, who was unlucky to be the target of the assassination, was sitting listlessly on the sofa in the common room, holding a container and looking at the worms inside through the glass material.

It was still very energetic after not eating or drinking for a day, grinning at him in the bottle.

"Did you hear that Merdale just said that as long as I am willing, I can get rid of you in an instant!"

"Hiss—! Hiss—!"

Facing Song Lan's deliberately vicious expression, the worm in the container was not afraid at all, but instead hit the part held by Song Lan's fingers with its head as if it was irritated.

After emerging from the human body, they lost the ability to communicate and could only rely on the Devourer to help translate their emotions.

"Hey, are you still angry?"

Song Lan flicked it through the container, and the worm immediately rolled several times on the bottom of the container.

"They're not angry, it's just the raw aggression of a living being."

After hesitating in the darkness for a long time, δ finally found a suitable opportunity to cut in. She didn't understand why these worms dared to provoke this demon. Did they naively think that as long as the liaison officer hid in the crowd, he would not be discovered?

In fact, the demon didn't need to discover them at all.

He only needs to trigger a psychic storm to turn all the counterfeiters into dust, and based on its knowledge of this demon, it is entirely possible for the other party to do such a crazy act.

Therefore, in order to avoid being harmed by Chi Yu, δ believed that it was necessary to meet this devil.

"First of all, I need to clarify something. I have just been following Jasmine. I have no intention of coming to District 17, and I haven't done anything since I came here!"

This is a long disclaimer.

Song Lan's attention also shifted from the insignificant worm to the palm-sized shadow on the table.

δ seems to have consciously compressed its body shape to make itself look as small and harmless as possible.

When they last met, the demon had warned him not to come to this city. She had to first ensure that she would not be swallowed by him before the conversation could continue.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to bring you some important news, I can pick them out from the crowd!"

"How to tell?"

"They are a group of creatures with no emotions, only instincts. Although they can simulate various human expressions, they do not produce any emotions."

δ even gave up his hobby of playing riddles and told everything he knew, "So, if you can sense the emotional fluctuations of humans or creatures, you can pick them out from the crowd!"

"But how can I sense other people's emotional fluctuations?"

"...This is a side effect of my ability."

δ said, “I can sense human emotions, especially their negative emotions, so that I can find potential customers from the crowd, and these worms will never become my customers. "

"I understand, you mean we can hire you to find the whereabouts of the liaison officer."

"You can think so."

"Then you set a price, but you should have noticed when you came here that the conditions here are not very good."

Hearing this, a trace of joy flashed in δ's eyes.

In addition to clarifying misunderstandings, she also came here to facilitate a business deal.

I am afraid that none of its kind can imagine that it has the courage and ability to negotiate business with this devil!

"First of all, you can't eat me."

"Can."

For a good citizen who has never thought about cannibalism, this is not a requirement at all for Song Lan.

"You can't eat jasmine either!"

"Huh……"

Seeing Song Lan frowning, δ immediately changed the conditions. Now it tightened its nerves and realized deeply that once the deal collapsed, it would never be able to leave this room again, "Okay, you You can eat her, but you have to wait for a while before eating her again!”

"I never said I wanted to eat her, but aren't you enemies?"

"Not anymore."

"Okay, what else?"

Song Lan wanted to continue asking, but when he noticed the subtle looks in Bai Zhu and Mei Dai's eyes, he could only suppress his curiosity to prevent his image of a "cruel ogre" from being further deepened in their understanding. deepen.

No, why do people around him believe rumors so easily?

"And...I haven't thought about it."

δ After thinking hard for a while, she didn't expect that the business went smoothly unexpectedly. The devil readily agreed to her two conditions, leaving her at a loss for words.

In the past, when negotiating business with humans, she was usually on the stronger side.

"In that case, you can help us find the liaison first, and you can go back and think about the conditions slowly."

"Okay, then it's settled...do I need to put a stamp or signature on it?"

δ asked again cautiously.

"unnecessary."

Song Lan waved her hand, "You can go out and ask around. There are few people in District 17 who are more trustworthy than me, Song Lan."
