Gunfire, Punk and Necromancer

The Scarlet Group flexed its muscles at the Grand Expo, and the sensation caused by the Celestial God's execution of the puppet Ia quadrupled the value of tickets to the exhibition. Many people wanted to come and see the super execution puppet with their own eyes, and even more people wanted to join in the fun and take some photos of themselves and the execution puppet.

Ge Gongdao said jokingly: "If the exhibition is held for a few more days and a photo-taking charge is added, the cost of the execution puppet may be earned."

Taking advantage of his position, Zhuang Xuteng also went to the exhibition hall to watch the gods execute the puppets, so as to give himself a little free "company shock". He doesn't need a camera, his excellent graphic memory is enough to imprint in his mind all the details of the appearance of the puppet executed by the god. If the shadow vision is also used, he can also analyze where the shadow slaves used by the gods to execute the puppets are placed, and what their strength is.

Every shadow slave and implant exudes blue light, and a faint highest-level orange halo is looming under the puppet's helmet. They are all active shadow slaves, the best kind. The cost of making this execution puppet cannot be cheap. But after the invention of shadow copying technology, its cost can indeed be greatly reduced, and those shadows will not make people feel too distressed when using them.

Alas, companies have the best products, but because they don't put them on the market, ordinary people have no idea how much these good things are worth. Many people join the company just to be able to use these good things. They need to show and contribute their ingenuity and step by step to get access to the highest technological achievements.

Now the result was right in front of him, about twelve or thirteen meters away from Zhuang Xuteng. Um? Zhuang Xuteng had a sudden thought. He was wondering whether this execution puppet was a kind of corpse? Structurally, it is still humanoid, with a complete head, body and limbs. Although the internal organs are missing, this lack does not affect necromancy such as controlling dead bodies. From the outside, the Celestial Execution Puppet is closer to a zombie. Don't forget, even if there is no muscle and skin, and only the skeleton is left in the end, controlling the necromancy can also make the skeleton move.

Twelve to thirteen meters, still within the casting range. Do you want to try it? Zhuang Xuteng licked his lips, secretly running his magic power and casting spells.

The necromancy spell caused energy fluctuations in the shadow slave, triggering the god's defense mechanism to execute the puppet. Regarding the unknown energy fluctuation, the puppet turned its head slightly and used scanning methods to find the source. Its sudden movement made the people present very nervous, and many people shouted excitedly, as if they would die of excitement in the next second. Zhuang Xuteng was also startled. This was the first time he encountered a necromancy spell being detected. Normally, the random activities of the resentful spirit servants were never discovered.

Just when he was thinking about how to cover up the casting behavior, the spell was completed. The execution puppet was indeed a corpse and could be affected by the undead spell. The moment the spell was successful, Zhuang Xuteng confirmed two facts: the method of controlling the puppet was no different from when he practiced on the corpse in the funeral parlor, just treat it as an extension of his own body; the other fact was that the method of controlling the puppet was executed by the gods. The shadow slave consumes a lot of energy and has extremely terrible side effects. Any movement performed by manipulating it is an almost unbearable burden for Zhuang Xuteng at this stage.

The only command he could make the puppet execute was to return to its original position and stop detecting shadow energy, and "Ia" really did so. With just this order, all the mice carried by Zhuang Xuteng were killed. He also felt entangled in resentment, and his body and spirit were weakened a lot. So he quickly gave up control, used the vindictive spirit spell to absorb his own grievances and side effects, and hurriedly left among the crowd.

The god made the puppet stand upright again, as if nothing had happened, but it did move just now, and the audience and security guards saw it. Soon, seven staff members wearing light protective clothing came to the stage, connected many devices that no one had seen before to the platform at the feet of the puppet, and began to check the situation on site. They checked for a long time, and all they knew was that there had been strange shadow energy fluctuations. The source was unknown, there was no danger, and it disappeared quickly. Performing the puppet's actions is stressful and there is no problem.

Zhuang Xuteng left the venue and returned to the restaurant. He ordered a few high-protein foods and started stuffing them so that his body could recover as quickly as possible. Ge Gongdao reached out and touched his backpack. There was no movement of a mouse inside, so he knew something was wrong. He was about to take off his coat and give his mouse backpack to Zhuang Xuteng when he was held down.

Zhuang Xuteng tilted his head and said, "No, there are many people here. Just sit next to me and let me grab a handful."

"Okay." Ge Gongdao sat down. He knew very well that two people might be misunderstood if they were too close, but did he care about the rumors? Just like what he often said: If I wanted to lose face, I would have stopped doing this business long ago when my identity was revealed!

Another bunch of white mice were sacrificed, and Zhuang Xuteng recovered. Necromancy also includes some spells that sacrifice life to strengthen oneself. Because they are quite cruel and difficult to be accepted by the public, they are classified as "forbidden evil spells". Zhuang Xuteng believes that his current behavior is a sacrifice, and the mouse will die sooner or later, why not improve some efficiency?

Besides, there is no question of whether the "public" accepts him.

"Thank you, Brother Dao, you've recovered." Zhuang Xuteng frowned and said, "When God executed the puppet movement just now, I felt a lot of pressure, and side effects suddenly appeared. Do you feel this way?"

Brother Dao shook his head and asked with concern: "Rejection of the implant? Or are you too tired from practicing recently?"

"It's not a rejection reaction, maybe I'm just tired, and then I was shocked." Zhuang Xuteng waved his hand and said: "I feel normal now, and it should be fine. I won't practice for the next two days, take a good rest and relax, and then change A group of guinea pigs, then everything will be fine."

The appearance of the God's execution puppet gave Zhuang Xuteng a sense of urgency to improve his power. Now the situation is even more obvious. The path of implants is basically unworkable. The gap is too big. If the same energy and cost are invested in necromancy and super-computing martial arts, the benefits that can be obtained must be many times that of implants. .

At the same time, Zhuang Xuteng also found the weakness of the God's execution puppet: it can be controlled by undead spells, which shows that it is definitely not invincible. From the perspective of the system of shadow slave equipment, shadow slave implants and shadow slave spells, the god's execution of the puppet can completely kill everyone, but it cannot prevent the power of other systems that it has not seen before. And the best execution puppets of gods can be controlled, so other execution puppets should not be able to escape. Since there are ways to deal with it, there is no need to be afraid.

Necromancy can completely open up the situation for Zhuang Xuteng, but he also knows that this method cannot be commonly used. The short spell cast just now attracted a lot of staff. If the phenomenon of execution puppets being controlled by others occurs frequently, the Scarlet Group will definitely make great efforts to study it and eventually either solve the problem or him. Zhuang Xuteng does not want that end at all.

It can be controlled as a corpse, which also inspired Zhuang Xuteng. Neither Shadow Servants nor Shadow Servant Implants are affected by the Undead Manipulation spell, as they are not the correct target to cast the spell on, and the Golem is a corpse that "qualifies for the spell." Simply stacking implants and shadow slave equipment cannot obtain a corpse, so the god's execution puppet is more likely to be modified from the corpse, which can explain why the spell can take effect.

The Celestial Execution Puppet is nearly three meters tall, and judging from its body proportions, it seems like it was originally this way. Such a body type is rare and normal people don't have that. King Kong of the Wild Monkey Gang can reach it, so the source of the body may be a guy like King Kong. Using implants, drugs, equipment assistance, large nutritional intake, and special exercise methods, a person is first trained into a huge and strong man, and then his intestines and stomach are broken open, and he is stuffed into the equipment. modified into……

Zhuang Xuteng couldn't think about it anymore. He shook his head and quickly removed those terrible scenes from his mind. If that were the case, wouldn't it be the same as the most evil part of necromancy? Zhuang Xuteng believes that the company will not go to that step, because once such things are exposed, it will have an impact on the company's reputation and their profits, which is not in their interests. In particular, they do not have to go to such extreme measures. The four major group companies have not encountered real threats. Besides, cultivating a King Kong is already very troublesome. Using it as a container for shadow slave equipment is obviously a very inefficient method.

"If you need a lot of equipment to be used together, you can still attach external skeletons if you can't fit them inside! There is no need to go all the way to the end of the road of 'King Kong'."

There is a lot of thinking caused by the execution of the puppet by the gods. People with brains and brainless people are predicting the changes it will bring, but no one is thinking about how to deal with it. Everyone may be used to the invincible status of the four major group companies. Apart from corporate wars, there is nothing that can pose a threat to them. God's execution of puppets is nothing more than invincibility on top of invincibility, and does not affect the outcome.

Perhaps influenced by the knowledge on the stone pillar, Zhuang Xuteng thought a little more. He saw the vague possibility of a union or even a merger of the four major group companies. Being able to allocate profits and risks in advance, being able to act in unison, and being able to cooperate and complement each other, the four major companies have no competition, only cooperation! Now is just the beginning. In the future, as more and more similar things happen, routines will gradually be formed and mutual trust will continue to increase. Sooner or later, these four major companies will become one.

By then, even corporate wars will be meaningless, won’t they just do whatever they want?

Zhuang Xuteng believed that that situation must be bad, but he neither knew how to prevent the bad situation from happening, nor what kind of ability could be called a good situation. All he knows now is that if a threat is coming, he must improve his skills and be prepared to deal with it. Therefore, after the task of the Grand Expo was completed, Zhuang Xuteng devoted himself to the practice of necromancy and super-computing martial arts.

After two weeks without mercenary commissions, Zhuang Xuteng received a call from Lucy and finally had work to do. Zhuang Xuteng was very excited and asked Brother Dao and others to go over to listen to the briefing. Unexpectedly, Lucy told him that he was named to complete this mission, and the person named was Morgana.

"Well, if it's a mercenary mission, I have a fixed team now, so it's hard to go out and do it alone." Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while, he understood Lucy's dilemma, and took the initiative to say: "I'll call Morgana. Don’t you break the rules?”

Lucy agreed with a faint "hmm", and while waiting for Naike's call, she called her daughter Meteor. She wanted to persuade Meteor that it was absolutely okay to treat Naike as a friend, but if she wanted to go further, she had to prepare herself for failure.

Naturally, she was yelled at by Meteor. It was expected that her daughter did not understand her situation, and it was reasonable to have a quarrel, but what should be done must be done. The same goes for Zhuang Xuteng. Part of his responsibilities need to be responsible for the team, so even if it may make Morgana unhappy, he has to make the call.

"If it's just the two of us, then let's go on a date. Why are you paying the middleman?" Zhuang Xuteng said on the phone: "If it's an important task, then I need a team. Now there are four of us and we can handle it. There are a lot more situations than before.”

Morgana finally determined that this was a mission rather than a date, and complained that Zhuang Xuteng took the initiative to ask her out too few times, and she expressed dissatisfaction. Well, conscience of heaven and earth, the PCPD was so busy during that time, cracking down on gang drug dealers, protecting the evidence storage center, maintaining the peace of Peicheng during the expo... Zhuang Xuteng called her, but couldn't make an appointment at all.

By the way, Morgana was very careful when calling him. She kept her sentences as short as possible, except for using encrypted language. Zhuang Xuteng always felt that she was performing a special mission, and his unwarranted phone call might put her at risk. When he showed this concern and promised to ask her out more in the future, Morgana was completely satisfied and changed the mission from a named individual to a named team.

A group of four people came to Lucy for a mission briefing. With four people sharing the money, the income is relatively reduced, but this mission has some opportunities to make extra money. Morgana asked them to go to Peicheng Sanliu Charity Foundation's university - the one Zhuang Feifei studied before - and steal a testing instrument from its laboratory. It was a modified chemical spectrum analyzer, and its value lies more in the "modification", so everyone is required to ensure that the instrument is intact.

"She also gave a list to make sure to get these medicines during the theft. Without these specially prepared medicines, the analyzer will not be effective." Lucy said: "In order to avoid showing too much The purpose of this operation is to disguise it as a burglary by blue savage addicts. What you actually have to take out will greatly exceed the originally requested list. At the same time, you also have to take out a detector of the same model. I sent it in and accidentally broke it, so that it would appear that the thing was not stolen.”

After Zhuang Xuteng read the task requirements, he raised his head and looked at Lucy helplessly. Lucy understood the look in his eyes, which meant: This task was so complicated that it was actually prepared for Zhuang Xuteng himself before. Morgana asked to name an individual, and Lucy immediately understood that the woman must have made up her mind to go with Naike, which was equivalent to going on a date during the mission.

Fortunately, Naike has a clear mind, and fortunately he is very principled and always thinks about his partner. Now that the four of them are acting together, they have a lot more manpower, and Morgana won't interfere. Hehe, that woman may feel shy, which at least reduces the impact of off-field factors on professional activities. But this may not be a good thing for Meteor, well... Lucy is starting to have trouble again.

"According to the information, there are many things in the university laboratory that can make a fortune. Moreover, some of the nutritional formula ingredients that Brother Dao and Naike have always wanted cannot be found outside. There may be some in the laboratory. You can plan carefully. one time."
