Although Hodge town is called "town", its actual area and population are about the same as Kane''s city in the world, but there is no wall. As orphans, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi live in windmill street in the North District where the sheriff is located, while this "Akaya''s big pot" shop is in the southern business district. It''s normal to have never seen Bai Xiaowen.
"I have some personal property disputes, but for some reasons, I can''t come forward personally," Bai Xiaowen said. "So I want to find some... Professionals to help me deal with them."
"Professionals? What do you mean?" Akaya''s expression was a little thought-provoking, but his tone was more solemn.
Bai Xiaowen added: "we can solve the problem through ways other than the law. When necessary, we don''t mind professionals with a little blood on their hands."
Akaya frowned and flicked the golden sparrow imperial gold coin in his hand: "young sir, for the sake of gold coins, I can provide you with a clue. However, I declare in advance that I am a law-abiding businessman."
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly: "of course, I''ll take it as if I''ve never been to this store."
Akaya nodded: "OK. In fact, the professional you''re looking for is in Blackwater Lane - the left turn at the end of our street. They have a unified organization called crow. Decent businessmen like me never want to deal with those maggots."
Bai Xiaowen got the information he wanted, nodded his thanks, and then took out a goldfinch imperial gold coin.
"Second question... Are there any hidden religious places in Hodge town?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"Isn''t the north side cathedral a religious place?" Akaya frowned. "If you''re talking about a hidden church, there''s also a chapel in the business district. Not many people used to worship, because there aren''t many people in the south side who have faith."
"What I want to ask is not the Church of the Lord of light," Bai Xiaowen said.
"Then I don''t know," Akaya shrugged. "It seems that I can''t earn the second gold coin, young man."
Bai Xiaowen nodded thoughtfully and left the "big pot of Akaya".
Walking in a remote street, Li Shuyi asked, "I probably understand the intention of the two questions you just asked. The second question is to inquire about voodoo. I won''t say it until I ask the news. The first question should be the clue of the main task?"
Bai Xiaowen nodded.
"Do you suspect that this underground organization named crow is behind the scenes?" Li Shuyi asked.
"It''s not sure yet," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. "However, the only place where we can get clues about the disappearance of a large number of people in this city is the underground gangs, except the sheriff. I don''t believe these underground gangs don''t know anything about the disappearance of so many people."
While they were walking and talking, Li Shuyi speculated: "I think this crow organization has something to do with the missing persons case. Even if it is not behind the scenes, it must at least be a peripheral organization that follows the orders of the behind the scenes and binds people."
Bai Xiaowen smiled: "don''t hurry to kill yourself with a stick. Go and have a look first."
At the end of the street, turn left and they stepped into Heishui lane.
"Hey, where did you get the two lambs?" a strong man with a scar on his arm stopped them. After looking at them carefully, he said mockingly, "this is not where a good baby should come."
Li Shuyi glanced at Bai Xiaowen. Seeing Bai Xiaowen nodding slightly, she immediately stepped out, reached out and grabbed the arm of the strong man with scar, pulled hard and bent her knees!
With a dull sound, the strong man''s eyes almost protruded and his body quickly bent into a prawn. Li Shuyi kicked the big man at the bend of his leg, and the other party fell to the ground heavily.
Before the scar man could scold, his neck was cold, and a noble long sword crossed his neck.
"Who are you?" said the scar man, a little fierce and weak, inhaling the cool breath and enduring the pain. "If you dare to kill me, you won''t want to hang out in Hodge town. We crows will never let go of any enemy!"
Bai Xiaowen said lightly, "it''s just maggots in the pit. Do you really think you''re great? Listen, we''re entrusted by sheriff Yahan to investigate the missing persons in Hodge town. The crow organization is our key suspect target... If you don''t want to die, show me the way to find your boss."
Scar man was shocked and angry: "ahan? The damn Sheriff has already come. Boss Benny explained very clearly that the missing person has nothing to do with us..."
"Don''t talk nonsense." Li Shuyi''s long sword made a slight effort, and suddenly blood beads exuded.
Scar man had to raise his hands: "OK, come on... I''d like to take you to boss Benny. Can you move the sword first?"
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi exchanged a look, and Li Shuyi took back the long sword. The scar man walked timidly ahead to lead the way, and the two followed closely.
Walking in Blackwater lane, they met some members of crow organization. Bai Xiaowen scanned several with insight and found that their strength was similar to that of scar man. They were all ordinary templates with a level of about five or six, not even an elite member.
Bai Xiaowen assessed the strength of the crow organization and came to the conclusion that he and Li Shuyi could run rampant in Heishui lane.
In fact, Bai Xiaowen is quite sure that the crow organization has not participated in the missing persons case. Otherwise, he will not explain his intention as soon as he opens his mouth.
From the perspective of Sheriff Yahan, when he investigates the missing persons case, he will certainly run all over the gangs in the city, but the final result is nothing, so he issued a reward order. Just now the scar man also said that sheriff ahan had been here and passed through the old Benny ditch of the crow.
On the premise of knowing this, Bai Xiaowen still wants to break into the headquarters of the crow organization, in fact, in order to subdue the underground organization and take it back for his own use! Otherwise, as the awakened person who cuts in, his eyes are black, and where does the investigation begin.
Deep in Blackwater lane, in an underground casino, Bai Xiaowen met Benny, the boss of crow organization.
Benny is a thin man with dark eyes and thin cheeks, hidden under a black cloak, reminiscent of vultures foraging for no reason.
Bai Xiaowen threw out his insight for the first time and prompted to deduct 25 power points.
[Benny (elite level 8)]
[race: Humanoid race]
[Occupation: Night exile]
[attribute: strength 35, agility 49, physique 32, spirit 20]
[skill 1: night shelter: activate the hiding skill to make it difficult for the enemy to find. Passive effect, hiding priority at night + 1.]
[skill 2: combo: successfully hitting the enemy for many times in a row will cause additional physical damage. The more combo hits, the higher the additional damage.]
[skill 3: preemption: the first attack without being discovered by the enemy will temporarily paralyze the enemy.]
[skill 4: thief leader: passive, health increased by 150 points.]
After seeing the shared information, Li Shuyi whispered in the team channel: "ah, it''s level 8."
With the awakening level of Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi at level 5, it is a bit surprising that level 8 characters appear in the matched spiritual characters. According to the usual law, the matching spiritual character level will be one or two levels higher than the awakening level.
However, there are exceptions, that is, if you have "positioning" items and match them to a specific spiritual plane, the level of spiritual characters may be "abnormal" - for example, three levels higher than or lower than the awakened one.
Of course, the spiritual rules will make a corresponding balance. Where is the balance point? It''s where the awakened one cuts in.
For example, the Aaron position world where Bai Xiaowen performed the transfer test was a generally high-level position. At that time, Bai Xiaowen had not been transferred. Therefore, the rules of the spirit world are set. Bai Xiaowen''s entry point is in the north, which is sparsely populated and desolate. The level of the spirit world characters Bai Xiaowen needs to deal with is only below level 3. Of course, his death attracted level 7 leader Gloria, so he will not be given preferential treatment by the rules of the spirit world.
In front of this level 8 elite, old Benny of crow organization, the strength is about equivalent to the leader of level 5 and 6. He suffers from a loss in priority and skills, but because he crossed the threshold of level 7, his all attributes are relatively high, with a 150 HP bonus.
But this is not a threat to Bai Xiaowen.
After hearing the grievance cry of scar male Committee, Benny nodded slightly and looked at Bai Xiaowen with evil eyes.
"Are you really sent by the sheriff? I don''t believe it."
Bai Xiaowen said plainly, "it doesn''t matter whether it''s true or false. The point is, do you want to die or live?"
Bai Xiaowen''s straightforward threat angered several elite members of crow organization.
"Arrogant little fellow, go back and drink milk!"
A bald man swooped over with a pair of black iron fists on his fists and struck Bai Xiaowen.
Li Shuyi drew out her double swords, crossed and overlapped them, blocked the fist first, then quickly cut back, hissed three times, and started cutting again and again. The three swords accurately hit the throat of the bald man.
Excited by blood and anger, the bald man covered his throat and trachea in disbelief, made a cluck sound, sat down slowly, and finally died on the spot!
This bald man is a powerful intermediate elite. However, Li Shuyi''s strength value at this time has reached 27 points, which is more than enough to block his attack without imbalance. After Li Shuyi blocked the other party''s attack, the speed of the counter attack broke out, but the bald strong man could not match. Three swords, one of which triggered critical hit and killed on the spot.
Seeing the bald man fall to the ground and die, other members of crow organization were even more shocked and angry, but there was a trace of obvious fear in their eyes.
Benny''s eyes were cold, and his hands covered by his black cloak quietly touched the dagger.
Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen coughed and the white light flashed. The bloated and tall voodoo sewn fit fat boy appeared in front of him, accompanied by four skeleton knife shield hands.
The ferocious and ferocious face of fat boy made many people feel frightened. Someone lost his voice and exclaimed: "this is voodoo..."
Benny stared sternly at the past, and the man was silent. Bai Xiaowen knew clearly in his heart, narrowed his eyes and said, "it seems that you are unwilling to cooperate."
Shua!
The fat boy took his hand, hooked the iron chain, tightly wound the man who had just spoken and dragged him over.
If ordinary people may not be able to find the person who screamed from so many crow organization members, but Bai Xiaowen''s insight and memory are extremely powerful. He immediately found the other party''s position and ordered fat boy to do it.
Bai Xiaowen''s act as if there were no one else angered Benny. He roared in his throat: "give it to me..."
However, when all the members of the crow organization wanted to take a knife to cut Bai Xiaowen, an awe inspiring pressure spread with Bai Xiaowen as the center! Except for a few elite members, most members of the crow organization were stunned and sat on the ground.
The crow organization elite who can still stand, as well as Benny, the boss, were not stunned, but also fell into a state of fear.
Bai Xiaowen grabbed the collar of the unlucky man hooked by the fat boy: "Hey, now you answer the question..."
The man woke up with a frightened face: "I, I don''t know anything."
"Tell me about the voodoo cult you just mentioned," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. "Do you think my servant has anything to do with voodoo, huh? Don''t pretend to be crazy or I''ll kill you."
The man said with a sad face: "I heard boss Benny say that the voodoo cult has a huge transformed body, which has a very strong combat power. It can defeat ten with one... This monster is very similar, so I......" he regretted greatly in his heart. He shouldn''t be quick for a moment.
When Bai Xiaowen pressed the unlucky guy, Benny and his subordinates finally woke up from fear and dizziness. Seeing the unfathomable Bai Xiaowen, these people were filled with fear, but they didn''t dare to go forward again.
Bai Xiaowen asked again. After confirming that there was no more valuable information in the mouth of the unlucky man, he threw him aside, patted the dust that didn''t exist on his hands, and said to Benny:
"It seems that Mr. Benny has known the gap between you and me and that I can end your life at any time."
Benny''s face changed, and finally said astringently, "yes."
"I''m glad we have reached a consensus, so I''ll put forward my conditions next," Bai Xiaowen said. "If you can cooperate, you can live and even get a considerable amount of money. If you don''t cooperate... You should know the consequences."
"... I don''t know what your request is? We''ll try our best to do it."
Benny doesn''t believe what Bai Xiaowen said about money at all. His only idea now is to keep his life.
