Otto did know a lot, but now, he no longer treated the information he had as an exclusive secret. Instead, he treated it as a bargaining chip to communicate with Gao Qi. An equal exchange was just a mutual exchange of information.
"The city lord of the City of Sin is called Eddie Beddle. He is at least 1.9 meters tall. In everyone's eyes, he is a big and muscular man, but if you look at him through a camera, you will see that his skin is dark."
Otto spoke weakly. After taking a deep breath, he continued, "The City of Sin used to be a gathering place for barbarians. Not long after the Cataclysm ended, there were thousands of barbarians there. Then, about 20 years ago, there were at least tens of thousands of barbarians there."
Gao Qi did not know the history of the City of Sin, so he was very interested in this aspect.
"Originally, the City of Sin was very normal, but about 15 years ago, slaves suddenly appeared in the City of Sin. No one knew how the change happened, but some of the influential people in the City of Sin started to keep slaves. They even publicly established slavery as the system of the City of Sin. However, at first, no one was interested in it. It was just a gathering place for barbarians. In other words, no one cared."
Gao Qi said with interest, "Continue."
"The City of Sin had always been developing at the northern end of the Central Valley. The population grew slowly but steadily. However, six or seven years ago, the population began to explode because the City of Sin started to take slaves. Most of the surrounding barbarians were turned into slaves. However, this did not attract the attention of other cities. Until last year, the City of Sin obtained a spaceship. They obtained a spaceship from the City of Apple. An important person in the City of Apple had a conflict with Light Devil Thomas. Then, that important person went to the City of Sin. However, it was strange that this important person disappeared after arriving at the City of Sin, but the spaceship he brought with him belonged to Eddie Beddle."
Gao Qi felt that the City of Apple was supporting the City of Sin, and it was very obvious. The so-called defection of an important person was just an excuse. This was because the City of Sin now had controllable nuclear fusion, tanks, and helicopters. These were not things that could be brought over by a defector.
"Apple City, continue."
Otto continued, "With the spaceship, the City of Sin will start to look like a real city. It also needs to have things that a city should have, such as the ability detector. Eddie Beddle bought a batch of detectors from Technology City and paid in gold. So we sent a spaceship to deliver the goods, and at the same time … observed it."
"Oh, and then?"
"Eddie Beddle personally came forward. Our staff confirmed that he was a very charming middle-aged white man. However, the picture taken by one of our hidden cameras was not like this. He was black, but when we asked the staff we sent, the answer we got was that they only saw a white man. Obviously, this is the effect of a psychic ability."
Gao Qi thought for a moment and said, "Well, if that's the case, Eddie Beddle didn't seem to be careful enough. Superpowers can affect people's senses, but they can't affect machines. How could he hide for so long? Why did he appear in front of your cameras? "
Otto said in a low voice, "You're right. Eddie strictly forbids the use of any recording equipment. He often appears in front of the public, but he always appears indoors. The places he appears in will definitely be strictly inspected. Also, he has a large number of guards. His guards will carry out extremely detailed inspections. When our staff members go to discuss business with him, they will undergo a very strict and detailed body search to ensure that there is nothing on them that they should not have."
"Then how did the cameras get in?"
Otto said without hesitation, "Some kind of biotechnology that only Bernhard knows, just like Anna …"
His guess was confirmed. Anna was a walking monitor, under the premise that she didn't know.
In an instant, Anna's face turned pale.
Gao Qi said softly, "Anna is right beside me. Aren't you worried that if you make this call now, Bernhard will find out?"
Otto continued, "Of course I'm worried. But with 24-hour monitoring, Bernhard can't be there all the time. So this is the responsibility of a technical team. There are 16 people in this team. I've infiltrated this technical team. Now, everything I say won't be recorded. Today, I took a huge risk and took the initiative to expose the fact that Anna is being monitored. I took the initiative to contact her. This is my sincerity and the basis of our cooperation. I hope you can understand this."
The topic had changed from the City of Sin to Anna. Gao Qi immediately said, "If you can hear what Anna heard, then why didn't you respond when I contacted you through Anna? Why did you wait for me to call you?"
Otto smiled bitterly and said, "I need time to reply. Also, don't tell me you think that directly affecting a person's brain has no side effects at all? You can just call me directly. Why do you have to make it so complicated? Actually, I called you, but your phone was turned off. "
So Gao Qi said, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Otto hesitated and said, "How did you know that Eddie is a psychic? Through what channels? Now that we're allies, we have a common goal. Can you tell me? "
"Well, I guessed."
"Well, I know you won't tell me. Everyone has their own secrets. But you can just reject me directly. Saying that you guessed makes me feel like you're insulting my intelligence."
Gao Qi hesitated. He felt that it was better not to argue. It was better to maintain a sense of mystery than to prove that he was just guessing. So, he said sincerely, "I'm sorry."
"I suggest that you get rid of Eddie Beddle directly. That way, you can quickly take over the City of Sin. With your strength, it's not difficult to control the City of Sin. After all, it's just a wilderness area and not a real city. So, you don't have to fight your way in."
Gao Qi said, "Thank you for your suggestion. I'll consider it. Now that we're allies, if there's anything important to discuss, how should we contact each other? I need to keep my whereabouts a secret. My phone can't be switched on all the time."
Otto thought for a while and said, "I think that there's no need to keep in touch for now. After you take over the City of Sin, it won't be so troublesome to contact each other. But I have to remind you of something. Bernhard still doesn't know that Anna has discovered her … abnormality. For the sake of both of us, you have to keep it a secret. I think you understand the importance of keeping it a secret."
"I know. If there's nothing else, I'll contact you after I take over the City of Sin. Goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Qi sighed softly. He took Anna's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, you'll be fine. But let's not talk about this anymore. Don't let Bernhard know. Lidong, keep everything you heard today to yourself. Don't tell anyone."
Niu Lidong whispered, "I know. Brother Qi, should we find a way to kill Eddie Beddle directly? Then we won't have to fight anymore, right?"
