When Ren Xiaosu saw the mission to hunt down the Pyro Company's Midnight squad, he was stunned. The organization behind this cell phone must really have a grudge against the Pyro Company. Otherwise, why would they offer such a high reward?
As he had fought against the Midnight squad before, Ren Xiaosu had a rough idea of their combat prowess.
Those people might look like supernatural beings, but it was just that their genetic sequences had been modified and they had a stronger physique than normal people. Although they were also far stronger than normal people, they still couldn't compare to supernatural beings.
After all, the current means of supernatural beings were still a little more explosive and bizarre.
Yang Xiaojin had once said the Pyro Company had even more powerful fighting forces, but Ren Xiaosu could not comment on them as he had never seen them before.
In terms of the reward, the money was secondary. The main thing was that he could seek protection from them once. That was the most important thing.
Who had never encountered a dangerous situation in their lives? Even Ren Xiaosu had encountered it many times before.
For example, anyone would need an extremely safe place to recuperate after getting injured. This was the time when it was the easiest to die suddenly. Even supernatural beings could be killed by normal people.
At this time, a secret safe house and a trustworthy shelter would become everyone's first choice.
Was the Anjing House trustworthy? At least among hitmen, they were extremely trustworthy. Otherwise, why would everyone want to join the Anjing House?
Therefore, the Anjing House's offer to protect the person who completed this mission would definitely tempt a lot of people.
It was very difficult for hitmen to have a good ending. This was something all hitmen knew.
When Ren Xiaosu read the text, he frowned. This mission happened to appear at Stronghold 63, which was right next to him. However, it was an A-rank mission, so he could not accept it even if he wanted to.
He really wanted to fight the Pyro Company. After all, Yang Xiaojin seemed to have a grudge against the Pyro Company.
But he was only D-rank. Including the mission he just completed, he could be considered to have completed two missions at Stronghold 63. He should be able to get promoted to C-rank, but he was still very far from A-rank.
This mission did not seem to have anything to do with him.
Wait, Ren Xiaosu suddenly realized that even if he could not accept the mission, he could totally go and see how these A-rank experts carried out the mission now that the address was clear.
When the time came, he would hide in the shadows and watch the hitmen fight the Pyro Company. The more intense the fight, the better!
At this very moment, one of the biggest characteristics of humans was vividly displayed by Ren Xiaosu. He liked to watch the commotion and was not afraid of making it worse.
…
Just as Ren Xiaosu made the decision to infiltrate Stronghold 63, someone in a residence muttered, "That 1583850 has completed another mission. Counting the time, he's already completed five missions in 60 days. Should we promote him to C-rank?"
The person next to him gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you notice? Ever since he went to Stronghold 63, the D-rank missions near Stronghold 63 have been delayed for more than 20 hours before they were completed. Moreover, the six people who responded to accept the missions for the first time all seemed to have disappeared by the time the second mission was completed."
"Hmm …"
The person next to him said, "If you say it has nothing to do with him, I definitely won't believe you. He was definitely the one who stole the other hitmen's cell phones at Stronghold 61."
The Anjing House were not fools. These suspicious missions were all completed by the qualified holder of 1583850. Even a fool would know there was something fishy about him!
After the incident at Stronghold 61, they started investigating the matter. Even their boss personally went there, but he could not catch the culprit even when he arrived.
"Let's ask the boss about this and see how we should handle it."
They sent a text message to their boss, who replied, "Promote him to C-rank and see what he's up to. Don't alert the enemy and don't assign him D-rank missions when sending group messages. Don't let him harm the other D-rank hitmen again."
The two people in the residence asked again, "What if he kills the other hitmen?"
However, their boss replied, "He did not kill them."
The Anjing House had encountered many hitmen with personalities. For example, some hitmen had special hobbies or were extremely unruly. But as long as they completed their missions, the Anjing House would not care about such things.
But the hitman they encountered this time was indeed a little too much.
The two Anjing House members in the residence were in charge of allocating missions and resources. This residence was their safe house.
Since it was not clear what their boss's attitude was, they would just do as he said.
When Ren Xiaosu received the text message informing him that he had been promoted to C-rank, he had quietly sneaked into Stronghold 63 to watch the show.
If Ren Xiaosu were to sneak into the stronghold again, he would no longer have to crawl under a vehicle. He could just jump into the stronghold.
The Wang Clan's stronghold looked more prosperous. At 10 PM, there were still colorful neon lights on the streets that illuminated the stronghold's night sky like it was daytime.
However, the difference between the Wang Clan's stronghold and other places was that there would be a surveillance camera set up every 100 meters on the streets here.
Moreover, he heard that anyone who wanted to stay in a hotel or eat in a tavern in the Wang Clan's stronghold would have to swipe their identification cards. Everyone in the stronghold city was like a set of data that was controlled by the artificial intelligence.
Ren Xiaosu had also heard a lot about the Wang Clan's stronghold. For example, all the young adults here would have to serve in the military once they reached the appropriate age.
If they deserted the military, their entire family would be implicated and expelled from the stronghold.
Also, if they encountered a thief on the streets, the artificial intelligence would issue a warning, and everyone near the thief would be obligated to catch him. If an adult male saw the thief but pretended not to see him, he would also be punished.
If an elderly person fell down on the streets, the person next to them would have to help them up. If the elderly person turned around and tried to extort the person who helped them, the elderly person would be sentenced.
All of this would be judged by the pervasive artificial intelligence.
For example, there were thousands of such laws in the entire Wang Clan's stronghold. Furthermore, everyone had to familiarize themselves with them during school and take exams.
The storyteller said that this was the Legalist ideology of the Qin Kingdom before The Cataclysm, where the rule of law was the foundation.
They did not believe in human nature and only believed in reason and the law.
Ren Xiaosu found it a little hard to describe such a system. Of course, it was a good thing that everyone could act bravely for a just cause, but he was actually not too willing to live in a stronghold like this.
It was not that such a system was bad. In fact, it was quite good. At least the stronghold residents lived very safely.
But Ren Xiaosu was not used to it. He had no intention of judging the merits of the various consortiums' systems. He just felt that he did not have enough freedom, and his every move was being monitored by others.
Ren Xiaosu could not walk around freely in a stronghold like this. That was because the legendary artificial intelligence did not have his appearance in its database. Once he was spotted by the surveillance cameras, they would immediately sound the alarm.
Moreover, if he did not complete the mission perfectly and avoid all the surveillance cameras while carrying out a mission in a stronghold like this, he would definitely be wanted by the entire Wang Clan. The artificial intelligence would even help him analyze the location of the hitman's hideout.
Ren Xiaosu also wanted to know how those A-rank hitmen could kill people in a stronghold like this.
