Embers Ad Infinitum

When Wall saw it, Theodore also noticed this, and said in a moment of absurdity and anger:

"They also accepted the mission we issued!

"What is this going to do?"

This is simply a provocation, even an insult!

The middle-aged and elderly gentleman Constance said thoughtfully:

"Perhaps you want to convey wrong information to us in this way?"

Many "Hand of Order" members present agreed with this guess because it sounded the most reasonable.

One of the sheriffs laughed:

"That's the only way to explain it. It can't be for the bounty we gave it, right?"

"Haha." The other "Hand of Order" members laughed, obviously amused.

When the atmosphere recovered, they felt they had been provoked and actively went to work, trying to find useful clues from the information provided by the Hunter Guild.

"They took over the mission of the giant white wolves in the mountains on the north coast."

"You can contact the garrison at the forward camp to see what they know."

"They should be coming from the direction of Weedao City."

"Another piece of information shows that they had a relationship with the 'Anti-Intellectual Cult' and helped General Phocas to hunt down those cultists. Yes, when it was discovered that Senator Varro had a relationship with the 'Salvation Army' and the 'Anti-Intellectual Cult', they Right there.”

…

The assistants of the Order Officer and the Sheriff brainstormed, setting off a storm of discussion.

During this process, Wall keenly captured the term "anti-intellectualism."

His heart suddenly moved, and he remembered what happened last time, and quickly turned his head to look at Theodore.

Snapped!

He tapped the table to signal everyone to be quiet.

Then, he looked at Theodore and said in a deep voice:

“Remember the real ‘priest’ death case?”

Theodore has been a member of the "Hand of Order" for many years. His promotion to his current status is mainly due to his personal ability. Hearing this, he immediately understood what Wall wanted to say.

He turned his neck, moved his gaze over, and asked with a solemn expression:

"Do you think it was done by Xue Shiyue and Zhang Qubing's team?"

He no longer considered that the other person was someone he hated.

"They have the motivation and the ability!" Wall recalled that case and felt that it was very similar to the case of stealing intelligence in the arena.

——The target made a detailed plan in advance. During the execution, he was firm-willed and had a stable mentality. During the evacuation, he paid attention to all details and left almost no clues for tracing.

If there hadn't been an accident and an unexpected encounter with him, Wall felt that the team would not have been locked in so easily.

"It's really amazing. The 'Father' has been so arrogant for several years. He certainly never thought that he would die in such a miserable state." Constance, a middle-aged and elderly gentleman, sighed with emotion.

While they were communicating about this matter, the garrisons at several forward camps responded with telegrams.

The police officer in charge of decoding raised his voice uncontrollably:

“They, they have three military exoskeleton devices!

"There is also a robot following."

"What?" Theodore and others' eyes widened.

This feedback really shocked them.

The opposing team was stronger than they thought.

If they didn't understand this and pursued blindly, I don't know how many members of the "Hand of Order" present would have died in the line of duty.

Theodore himself was not sure, after all, his abilities were not effective against robots.

After a short silence, Constance exhaled and said:

"Look at the remaining mission records. There may be other clues hidden."

…………

Green Olive District, inside a safe house.

Five members of the "Old Investigation Team" are sorting through various matters related to the identity of the hunter to see if there are any hidden dangers that may be implicated in the current situation.

"The missions we completed revealed too much information." Long Yuehong said with a frown.

Shang Jianyao laughed:

"What does what Zhang Qubing did have to do with me, Shang Jianyao?"

"Yes, although those missions can restore part of our experience and allow the enemy to have a more accurate grasp of our strength, they cannot actually threaten us now. We will not rush out recklessly and fight with them. Beat him to death." Jiang Baimian also expressed his thoughts.

What she means simply is:

This is all cut information and will not lead to the location where the "old tune team" is currently hiding being dug out.

"Yes." Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Bai Chen proposed another possible hidden danger:

"In addition to accepting tasks, we have also issued tasks."

"Yes, will they find Waite's family?" Long Yuehong's heart tightened.

He didn't want those poor families who had lost their fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, sons, and daughters to be implicated because of him and others.

"It should be possible to find out, but it's unlikely to embarrass them. They don't even know who we are. In this matter, we acted as if we had taken on a certain task and specially sent gifts to the families of the victims." The hunters of Pension are not related to each other, and this is also true. It is impossible for the Hand of Order not to be able to find out such a simple thing." Jiang Baimian comforted Long Yuehong.

After saying that, she looked at Bai Chen who was about to speak, smiled and said:

"I know what you want to say.

"Are you trying to say that the low-level security officers will take the opportunity to plant a crime on those poor people and seize the 'pensions' they receive?"

Bai Chen nodded:

"Don't have too much confidence in the integrity of the security guards in the 'First City'. A large number of them don't have such a thing at all."

Jiang Baimian sighed:

"The main reason is that this matter is quite big, and many people above are watching. They shouldn't go too far, but it is inevitable to extort some benefits. Since Waite and his family live in the original city, living After so many years, I must know the principle of losing money and avoiding disasters. Besides, no one except us knows how much 'pension' they receive, so giving a little bit won't have much impact on them."

"Yeah." Bai Chen accepted this analysis.

At this moment, Shang Jianyao stood up and uttered two words:

"Old Han!"

yes! We even offered a reward to find Lao Han, and he was said to be our friend! Long Yuehong was also horrified.

Jiang Baimian's face became quite solemn, Bai Chen pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, while the red light in Gnawa's eyes flickered a few times.

…………

"When we get the batch of arms, we will meet up with the others and set off for your town." Han Wanghuo put his rifle on his back and said to Zeng Duo beside him.

"Okay." Zeng Duo's dark eyes brightened a little.

They went downstairs and walked to the intersection, ready to turn to Antana Street.

Suddenly, Han Wanghuo saw a familiar intelligence dealer.

The information dealer huddled in an alley, peering out.

As soon as he saw Han Wanghuo, he immediately waved his right hand and motioned for him to come over.

Han Wanghuo glanced around cautiously and saw that no one was paying attention to him and no one was suspicious, so he quickly walked towards the information dealer.

"You should be more careful these days." The intelligence dealer retreated into the alley and said in a lowered voice, "The 'Hand of Order' is looking for you, and it's very loud!"

Han Wanghuo frowned:

"Why?"

"I don't know, I'm just here to remind you." The information dealer sighed, "The reward is very generous, and I am very excited. If you hadn't helped me before, my son's illness could be treated in time. For treatment, I will definitely choose to get the bounty. Let’s go quickly, next time we meet, we will be enemies.”

Because I helped you? After hearing the other party's explanation, Han Wanghuo moved his mouth but said nothing.

…………

Green Olive District, in the safe house.

"Hiss." Long Yuehong took a breath, "Old Han should not be implicated by us... He just needs to explain the situation truthfully. We have only cooperated in Hongshiji, and we are barely acquaintances, nothing more. Relationship. Well, the 'Hand of Order' can definitely confirm that he is telling the truth."

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"That's the theory."

She said this, but her expression didn't ease at all.

After taking a breath silently, Jiang Baimian added in a deep voice:

"But Lao Han is a second person."

The citizens of the "Primary City" hate everything related to genetic research and pollution and aberrations, and are very discriminatory towards subhumans. After the Senate formed the subhuman guards, in addition to discrimination, there was strong hatred.

Once a secondary person is caught, even if they have not committed any crime, they may be tortured to death. Their only hope is that they have special abilities and strong bodies, and are selected to join the secondary guard of the Senate.

"What should I do?" Long Yuehong asked eagerly.

He believed that what Jiang Baimian said was indeed a problem.

Discrimination against subhumans exists widely in every corner of the earth, and the original city is considered to be a relatively serious place.

Long Yuehong was deeply impressed by what happened to the residents of Black Rat Town, and he still occasionally has nightmares because of it.

Jiang Baimian glanced at the serious Shang Jianyao, considered it and said:

"Pretend well, go out and wander around, and try to find Old Han in front of the 'Hand of Order'!"
