After hesitating for a while, Peggy felt that it was better to believe it than not, so he said truthfully, "A Silver claimed to be a messenger from Dark-star. I found a black bead on him. I didn't know what it was, but I thought it was a treasure, so I took it with me. However, a few days ago, I lost the bead during the battle at the dock. It might have been picked up by someone …"
Because the bead was not with him, there was no loss in telling the truth. The other party was probably a Dark-star. Not to mention that he was his idol, just based on Dark-star's style of doing things, if he refused to disclose the information, the consequences would be predictable. According to the risk assessment, compromise was the safest.
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
Bead? What is that? Why have I not heard of this in my previous life?
Is it a hidden plot?
Han Xiaoxin's heart moved. It seemed possible. Dark-star sent Ashes' representative with great importance. Maybe it was a large-scale secret mission that no one had triggered in his previous life.
"You are very cooperative. I will pay a certain reward for the information."
"There is no need for the reward. I just want to join Dark-star."
Peggy rubbed his hands and said.
Hearing this, Han Xiao suddenly understood. No wonder Peggy did not bargain before the information was revealed. It turned out that he was a potential supporter of Dark-star. Back then, when he saw that Peggy was a mixed-blood Godora, Han Xiao had a guess. He chose to replace Dark-star's name, not only to cause trouble, but also to try his luck, and he actually won.
In fact, the reasoning was not difficult. Peggy was a mixed-blood Godora and a wanted criminal who did not tolerate order, so his political orientation was more likely to support Dark-star.
Han Xiao dared to use the name of Dark-star because he considered that Ashes would hide his true identity in order to keep it a secret. Even if Ashes came to ask first, he would use another identity. If he used the identity of a mercenary, Peggy would definitely hate them. He might not get the information and might even expose himself.
With a cough, Han Xiao pretended to be serious.
"I can see your conviction. You are a Godora person with a sense of awareness. Our great cause needs hot-blooded people like you …"
Without waiting for Peggy to be happy, Han Xiao changed the topic.
"However, we have strict screening procedures for newcomers to prevent spies from sneaking in. It just so happens that I need your help with something. There is another force on this floating island that is secretly competing with us for this pearl. Before me, has anyone asked the same question as me?"
"Uh, no."
"That's good. We're one step ahead of them. This is your chance to contribute to the organization. Later, they'll probably come to you and ask you the same question as I did. Just tell them that the bead has been thrown into outer space."
Han Xiao held back his laughter and said, "After you complete this task, Dark-star will accept you at the right time and take you to a secret base to receive formal training."
"I understand."
Peggy was convinced and his expression was solemn.
He did not expect the pool of Silvers to be so deep. He could not help but be curious about the secret of that pearl that would attract a major force to secretly compete for it!
At the same time, Peggy was also annoyed. If he had noticed the extraordinariness of the pearl at that time, he might have been able to obtain greater benefits and would not have done such a thing. However, it was too late to regret now.
After ending the communication, Han Xiao turned around and left the dock. He waited until there was no one around before changing back to his original outfit.
"So, what Dark-star wants is a black pearl, but its whereabouts are unknown."
Although there were gains, the information was still very little. If he followed the normal method, the clues would have ended there …
However, Han Xiao did not take the normal path.
"Since I know what the target is, I'll try using the Destiny's Child card. Hopefully, it'll be worth it." Han Xiao decided to use the Prediction Card. At least, he had to know what the target was. Although Peggy's information was scarce, it happened to meet the conditions.
You have used [Character Summon Card – Destiny's Child], Number of Uses/
The familiar hazy fog appeared, like a scene from a dream. Han Xiao's gaze passed through the fog, and a black pearl appeared in front of him. It was caught in a palm. Looking up along the arm, a handsome face was fixed in Han Xiao's eyes.
After a full two seconds, the image shattered and returned to the original environment as if he had experienced an illusion.
"Li Ge?!"
Han Xiao's eyes widened.
He really did not expect that the pearl would be picked up by a player, and by this naughty kid at that. No wonder it was not given to him.
…
Just twenty minutes after Han Xiao left, Ashes arrived late, rushed to the dock, and found Peggy.
Peggy remembered Han Xiao's instructions, and his expression changed slightly. As expected, Dark-star's competitor came so quickly.
"Who are you? What do you want? "
"I'm a mercenary, and my employer is a Silver. The captives have been saved, and you're no longer our enemy. Now, I have something to ask you. Did you kill two Silvers? We want to know the details, and for that, I can pay a certain amount of information."
Ashes chose to pretend to be a mercenary. Only mercenaries knew about the two dead Silvers, so it was reasonable to ask about his motive. Otherwise, it would be easy to arouse suspicion and be reported as the murderer who attacked the slave market. In his impression, he had not been exposed, and no one knew about their identity as Dark-star.
However, his choice happened to form a coincidence. Han Xiao and Ashes mysteriously swapped identities!
Peggy believed it even more. He thought that Han Xiao was' Dark-star ', and Ashes, who really belonged to Dark-star, was regarded as the enemy of Dark-star!
What was more coincidental was that because everyone only had a part of the information, Peggy and Ashes were kept in the dark. Only Han Xiao could barely see the truth. His trick made the two of them deviate from the path to the truth!
"You're a mercenary?!"
Peggy's eyes were filled with hatred. It was the mercenary who made him lose a lot of money, and you still want information? If it wasn't for Dark-star's order, I wouldn't even care about you!
Ashes said at the right time, "As long as you're willing to answer, I can pay 50,000 for the information to make up for your loss. This is a lot of money."
Dark-star was rich. Ashes directly transferred 10,000 as a deposit and was confident that he could make Peggy talk.
Even though Peggy was not a money-grubber, he was shocked by this generous offer. He did not look like a mercenary at all.
He rolled his eyes, pretended to be moved by the money, and talked about the process of capturing the Silvers, only hiding the Secret Message Bead as a test.
Sure enough, Ashes heard until the end and found that the information he wanted was missing. He had to point out the target and said, "Did you find a black bead on those two?"
"What bead? I've never seen it before. I threw them out of the spaceship and didn't bother to waste time searching them. The thing you said is probably also floating in the universe. "
Peggy sneered in his heart and lied according to Han Xiao's order.
Ashes's eyes flashed with a hint of gloominess.
This was the worst result!
If the carrier's body was accidentally captured by a star, the Secret Message Bead would also be destroyed. If it was attracted by a black hole, it would not be found at all.
"By the way, did anyone ask you the same question?"
Ashes suddenly asked.
"No."
Peggy immediately denied.
Ashes frowned, transferred the rest of the reward to Peggy, and left with a heavy heart.
At this point, the clues had been cut off. Their task force could not be used, so they could only report to the headquarters.
In the spaceship, Peggy looked at the dark communication screen and smiled with anticipation.
Joining Dark-star had always been his goal. Because Dark-star was too mysterious, he had never had the chance to come in contact with it.
But now, the opportunity he had been dreaming of fell from the sky!
Peggy was secretly excited.
I made a contribution to Dark-star! After waiting for so long, I finally got the chance. I can finally join Dark-star …
…
Near the ruins of the slave market, the players did not need to return to the guards. They temporarily settled the three Volga brothers and Aroshia.
Everyone surrounded Aroshia like crazy bees and butterflies. Aroshia's beauty was off the charts, and she was also a great beauty who had lost her memory. With Pork Bun as the representative, most of the male players' hormones were overflowing. They were very excited and chatted with Aroshia one after another.
Aroshia had a calm expression that said, "Anything is fine." She did not have much interest in the things around her and just replied to them casually.
On the side, the gods of the various clubs remained reserved and stayed far away, chatting with each other.
