The information mentioned at the "Leader's" initiated occult study group was somewhat beyond Hugh's expectations, even making her feel a sense of unfamiliarity towards Backlund.
"I'm posting a task." After quickly browsing the information provided by the "Leader," the "Hound," after paying the 50 pounds information fee, continued: "Help me investigate who this person had contact with before his death."
After speaking, he took out a portrait and unfolded it: "I will provide detailed information about this person, and provide a portion of the people he had contact with before his death. As long as you find contact personnel not on the information sheet, it's 10 pounds per person, with no upper limit."
"Um, people he contacted within three months."
Audrey saw that it was a portrait of the deceased 'Punisher' informant.
This was the third time encountering this person. The first time was Enoch's report that someone was looking for this informant.
The second time was the night of the underground boxing match, when he saw the real person during the competition. As a result, the real person turned into a corpse lying on the ground in no time.
This is the third time seeing this face.
Audrey was very clear that this person died at the hands of the Royal Guards. This should involve nobles, and even some secrets of the royal family. It's best not to provoke them.
Immediately after, he pondered: Regarding the assassination of this informant, I wonder if the Royal Guards cooperated with Military Intelligence Section 9? Now the 'Hound' from Military Intelligence Section 9 is investigating who this informant had contact with before his death. It seems that after killing the other party, they did not get the results that satisfied them.
At this time, Hugh raised her hand: "I can try to take this task."
If there is detailed information, a commission of 10 pounds is very generous.
She felt that she could look at the information first, maybe she could find some clues.
"The newcomer is very active." The "Hound" smiled and said: "Who else is willing to take this task? I brought a total of three copies of the information."
Soon, two other members also took on the task. The "Hound's" credibility has always been very good, and the commission for this task was indeed relatively generous.
After the "Hound's" task posting ended, the usually taciturn "Lion" Byron suddenly said: "There is new progress in my previous commission."
"After about a week of squatting in the East End, I found that someone was secretly kidnapping vagrants. I followed those people and eventually found that they were keeping people in a warehouse in the dock area."
"There, I saw Capim."
The other members were slightly stunned. One of the members said indignantly: "This doesn't seem surprising. That bastard will be punished sooner or later!"
Several other members also condemned Capim one after another. Even in Backlund's extraordinary world, this guy's reputation was very bad.
"Leader" Audrey interrupted everyone's condemnation. She asked "Lion": "Do you seem to want to continue investigating?"
"Yes!" "Lion" said in a very firm tone: "I want to gather more evidence and then hand it over to reporters to expose this villain's atrocities!"
"Everyone may not know, but in that warehouse, the fate of those vagrants is very tragic. They are sorted like livestock. As long as they are weak or sick, they will simply be thrown into the deep-water area of the Tussock River."
"They each had stones tied to their bodies, and no one could float up again…"
Hugh suddenly interrupted "Lion's" words: "Wait a minute, are you saying that they each had stones tied to their bodies?"
"Yes, it's very cruel, isn't it?"
"Didn't you notice the problem with this?" Hugh first asked rhetorically, and then answered herself: "If they don't meet Capim's requirements, they should just drive those weak vagrants away."
"Why tie stones to them?"
At this time, most of the members understood that doing so was too troublesome. In the eyes of these human traffickers, perhaps a vagrant is not as valuable as the rope used to tie the stones.
"Lion" also understood: "He… they are, killing people to silence them."
After a few seconds of silence in the living room, the "Hound" suddenly reminded: "I've heard of Capim. He has a strong background. I suggest not to continue investigating."
He had done his best by reminding them to this point.
"Lion" looked at the "Leader" on the opposite side: "Do you have any suggestions?"
Audrey said: "Obviously, you don't intend to listen to our suggestions."
"Lion" was stunned for a few seconds before saying: "I… I just…"
He took a deep breath: "All along, I haven't thought of myself as a good person. I've seen too many dark things in Backlund."
"But this time, I feel that Capim's actions have exceeded my limit."
"It's hard to imagine that hundreds of lives were sunk into the cold water just like that. They struggled, they cried."
"But they were too weak to even transmit their cries to the shore."
After another second or two of silence in the living room, Audrey said: "If you encounter danger, you can come to me. I will try to save your life."
Come to think of it, Capim seems to be about to kick the bucket. It doesn't matter to step on this 'grasshopper after autumn'.
"Lion" got up and said: "Thank you, thank you. I knew you wouldn't ignore it."
"Hound" and "Peacock" shook their heads, seemingly puzzled by "Lion's" actions.
Hugh took a deep look at the "Leader" and then at "Lion." Byron's determination exceeded her expectations, and the "Leader's" promise also exceeded her expectations.
No mistake, first issue, first content, all in one look!
This didn't seem like a scene that would happen at an extraordinary gathering.
"Elephant" suddenly said: "If something happens to the 'Leader,' will the Church of Steam and Machinery send someone else to preside over the gathering?"
"Peacock" looked at him: "Will you die if you don't speak?"
"Elephant" explained: "I just have such a question. After all, after all, this gathering is quite good. At least I feel quite relieved participating in this gathering."
Audrey smiled and said: "Maybe they will send someone else."
This topic ended here, and the information exchange quickly restarted. After several transactions were successfully completed, one member said: "Everyone, I have something I don't understand. Why do some strange things appear after an extraordinary person dies?"
Someone then asked: "Did you kill an extraordinary person?"
"It wasn't me who killed them." This member did not elaborate.
At this time, member "Wild Wolf" said: "Honestly, I also have similar doubts."
Regarding this question, you can immediately see who are wild extraordinary people and who are organized extraordinary people.
People like "Hound," "Peacock," "Wolverine," and "Elephant" obviously don't have similar questions.
"This information is very high-level." Audrey said: "But it's not impossible to trade. I can explain some of the principles, with a total price of 500 pounds. This information is worth this price."
"Oh ~"
Everyone didn't expect the price of this information to be so expensive!
But fortunately, what the "Leader" said was "total price." This is a unique trading method of the occult study group. As long as the buyers participating in the transaction have enough for the total price, the transaction can be carried out.
For example, if the total price is 500 pounds, if ten people participate in the transaction, each person needs to pay 50 pounds.
This amount of money is within an acceptable range.
Although Hugh knew the concept of extraordinary characteristics, she didn't know the specific principles, so she also participated in this transaction. For this reason, she reluctantly paid 26 pounds and 7 shillings.
But the moment she got the answer, she immediately felt relieved. She saw that the information given by the "Leader" read: That is called extraordinary characteristics, and it is likely the most expensive thing on an extraordinary person.
Extraordinary characteristics will not be destroyed, will not be reduced, but will only transfer from one carrier to another…
