Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

"What does it mean? Your question is a bit stupid." Ge Gongdao leaned back on the sofa, turning a deaf ear to the creaking and wailing of the springs and leather. He sneered and said: "It means that this kind of testing machine does not work! Test me... ...You are of wolf-dog blood, you are clearly insulting me! Lucy, you know that I am of werewolf blood."

Even though the mask obscured her expression, Lucy was confused from her stiff movements. "Although PY5B is an old model and is rarely used now, its stability has always been good. How could it be so wrong?"

"How do I know this? Maybe the PCPD didn't maintain it well?" Ge Gongdao shrugged and said: "There are rumors that the city government's allocation to the PCPD has decreased, and they have also become stingy with the money they give to mercenaries. .”

"No! I probably thought of it! This model of special bloodline tester is not always stable. Many people have been deceived by Dingxin Magic's advertisements, and the same goes for PCPD. They are the first few customers, and the test in their hands The device is most likely the original product in question."

Lucy continued: "After the problem arose, Dingxin Magic spent money to settle the matter, upgraded the old products, and slowly brought the reputation back. I guess the current police officers of PCPD probably don't know about this. , that’s when the error occurred. Hey, do you still remember what their tester looked like, and is it any different from this one?”

Ge Gongdao shook his head. He only remembered being stared at by the blue shirt, and he had no time to look at the tester.

Zhuang Xuteng searched for a while from the memory of the day before yesterday, compared it with the tester in front of him, then pointed to the lower right side of the instrument panel and said: "The slot is different here. On the PCPD machine, the first slot is severely worn and empty inside. "The second slot was a thick blue card, and the last slot had a lot of dust in it and looked like it had never been used."

"Sure enough, I guessed it right. The PCPD is using an old model machine for you, and the 'pest removal card' should have been placed in the first slot so that it can work properly. The thick blue card you mentioned, that is An updated database of special bloodlines and abilities. Later models of testers only require one card to update the database to work. In all likelihood, the guy using the tester didn’t know about it, so he didn’t use the deworming card.”

"To sum up: PCPD is stupid anyway!" Ge Gongdao waved his hand and said: "Stop talking nonsense, give Naike a test and complete the registration. We still have a commission to deal with."

"Don't rush, it will be ready soon." Lucy began to install the patch on Zhuang Xuteng. She was very close, and there was a faint smell of mixed flowers, which made Zhuang Xuteng's nose itchy and made him want to sneeze.

Fortunately, he held back, otherwise it would have been very rude to hit Lucy. Soon, the instrument started running, and the panel maker's readings kept changing. Lucy said while watching: "Look, it's right now. It has shown that you have a zombie physique. The index is quite high, actually 94/100 points. Nike, I have to admit, you are a pretty good zombie, even Probably one of the best I’ve heard.”

"Is it that good?" Ge Gongdao also became interested.

"Well, it's very rare. The higher the score, the better the adaptability and will not cause rejection. There are very few zombies with a score of 80, and those with a score of 90 or above are only one in a million even among zombies. You have never been able to Do you know how rare you are?”

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said, "The tests I took when I was a kid didn't give scores. I didn't know it would be like this."

"You must have used the folk method. It can only tell you whether or not you have something, but it can't tell you how strong you are." Lucy sighed, and was about to tell him that zombies with high scores can get good income in the company, but Suddenly, it was discovered that Zhuang Xuteng's scores continued to decline.

She patted the tester and made a "pop" sound, but it still did not stop the downward trend of the readings. At the same time, Zhuang Xuteng discovered that waves of itching continued to pass along the wires and patches, especially the wire connected to his heart, with thin black smoke spreading rapidly from it.

Oops, isn't this just absorbing shadows? Zhuang Xuteng hurriedly muttered in his mind: Stop sucking, stop sucking, there is no way to explain if the instrument is sucked into pieces!

Perhaps it was because of his sincerity that the black smoke disappeared, and the reading on the instrument stabilized, stopping at 34. Lucy was dumbfounded. Turning the knob and adjusting the functions couldn't get the reading back. She muttered: "It's so strange. I just saw that there were new readings coming out. Why did it become like this?"

"Hehe, I guess this one in your hand is also a defective product, right?" Ge Gongdao stretched out his arm and said, "If you are still not worried, I will know about it."

"One test costs 400 euros to buy additives. You are not guaranteed by me, so I won't waste it on you!" Lucy was obviously in a bad mood. She reached out and grabbed several wires and pulled them off. "Okay, you have done me a favor by letting me find out that there is something wrong with this instrument. I have to find a way to deal with it. I don't know if I can find the person who took advantage of me."

"Then you can worry about it slowly!" Ge Gongdao smiled and rubbed his hands and said, "Let's go first, see you tomorrow."

"Do the commission with all your heart, and I wish you good luck." Lucy angrily threw the wire back into the box and closed the lid hard, still cursing.

After leaving No. 76 Punk Street, Zhuang Xuteng looked back with a guilty conscience and asked, "Brother Dao, is she okay?"

"She loves money and cares about money. She will be in a bad mood as soon as she loses money. Don't worry, once the commission is completed, she will be in a good mood as soon as she gets the commission." Ge Gongdao put his hands in his pockets and took the lead. Passers-by gave way. He thought for a while and then said to Zhuang Xuteng: "Don't worry, Lucy has a good reputation and will not betray her guarantor for money. Your zombie physique is safe with her."

"That's good." Zhuang Xuteng stroked his chest gently and said.

The two walked for a while and returned to Hongyue Commercial Plaza, where they waited for the bus. Liming District, where the square is located, is a prosperous area in Peicheng. Although it is not comparable to Shangcheng District and the latest Taiping District, it is at least much better than the industrial area.

During the day, cheap and aggressive trucks are not allowed to appear in Liming District. The streets are occupied by cars and motorcycles. The steam they emit is white, light and graceful, making them seem to be driving in the clouds. If it were an industrial area, those black exhaust gases, filled with the stench of low-priced whale oil and burnt ash, would not make people shopping feel good.

Whenever a good car passes by, Ge Gongdao can't help but take a few more glances. Zhuang Xuteng asked him if he wanted to buy one. He nodded firmly, but frowned, as if he was worried. "Nike, when you make money, I will buy a car, and we will drive to do the commissioned tasks, so we don't have to wait for the bus that is late all day long. You can learn to drive when you have time, and I will enjoy sitting in the back seat. a feeling of."

"Oh." Zhuang Xuteng nodded. Learning to drive is certainly useful, but it still has to wait until he pays the rent and raises money for his sister’s tuition and living expenses. As a mercenary, you can earn 500 euros for one night's work, which is much more than working as a worker, but such commissions don't seem to be common.

"Brother Dao, when you accepted the commission, I noticed that your face was not very good. And I looked at the commission and I always felt something was wrong, but I couldn't tell." Zhuang Xuteng frowned and asked, "Will Lucy be cheated?" Us?"

"It's a bit strange to entrust a task, but Lucy doesn't. Your kid's worries are only half right."

"What's wrong with the mission?"

"Let's talk about Lucy first. Our relationship with the middleman is more important than the entrustment." Ge Gongdao said: "I have been a mercenary for three years and have met more than ten middlemen. Lucy will not make big money here. For high-risk commissions, her style is to be prudent, safe, and have a way out. She is very cautious, and she will never do it if she is tempted to trick mercenaries. She is the most reassuring guarantor, but it’s a pity that I didn’t understand it at the time. Quotes, I didn’t go to her.”

"She is a trustworthy intermediary, but she is just an intermediary, not your mother. I mean, what the entrustment looks like and whether there are any problems have nothing to do with her directly. The intermediary is not responsible for the content of the entrustment, only the entrustment execution process.”

Ge Gongdao licked his dry lips and moved his chin, looking for more suitable words. "What I want to say is: Lucy helped us find out about this commission. Even if we count from last night, we only have half a day. She..."

Zhuang Xuteng put his hand on Brother Dao's arm and said, "I understand that Lucy has nothing to do with the issues in the commission. Brother Dao, I want to know what's wrong with the commission."

"Judging from some details of the envelope and the power of attorney, the commission was just issued a day ago and required to be completed tonight. There are often problems with such urgent commissions." Ge Gongdao said: "We both know very well. The workers of the Eleven Magic Crystal Factory have just encountered trouble. The PCPD is investigating at this time, and there are people from the company inside. At this time, a commission to investigate the next door to the Magic Crystal Factory appears, can you not let people think about it? "

Zhuang Xuteng was a little nervous and panted heavily. After he calmed down a little, he asked, "Brother Dao, is this commission a trap?"

"That's not true. The person who issued the commission doesn't know who will accept the commission, and who will he set a trap for?"

"Oh, yes, I just registered today, no one could have predicted this."

"It's not like no one, I can predict this. I say this to remind you, don't forget to be careful with your companions." Brother Dao smiled and said: "I think it scares you, don't be nervous. There is something wrong with this commission. , but most commissions will have problems of one kind or another, and being full of surprises is the joy of life.”

"Brother Dao, you are really good at comforting people. It's okay if it's a surprise, but what if it's a shock, or even panic?"

"Just do it!" Ge Gongdao waved his fist and said: "Let me tell you this...according to my experience, this commission task is like throwing a stone to ask for directions. Some people want us to be that stone, otherwise they would not ask us. What time should we go to investigate, and what time should it be completed before. It is best if we are put in, collect information and no movement occurs; if there is movement, that person will also gain accordingly. "

"I kind of understand." Zhuang Xuteng said, "Then what should we do?"

"We have been asked to go there tonight. Let's go now and check the situation first." Brother Dao said.
