Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1751 Shadow Palace
With a "boom", the sound of Dirty Braid jumping up and knocking over the box under him echoed far away in the city road; he leaned his back against the wall tightly, staring at the box just like Lin Sanjiu. The body of the bearded man rolled to the ground, his head bounced twice on the ground, and finally, after exhaling his last breath, he gradually stopped moving.

The blood slowly dripped from under his neck, flowing silently and silently in the night.

"Why did you kill him?" Lin Sanjiu asked in a low voice. "If you don't let him know that you and I know each other, and just send him away..."

Si Lu wiped his fingers, and looked back at her from the dark city road.

"The people I've met, the longer they survive in the apocalypse, the more numb they become." He smiled slightly, "You are just the opposite, it seems that you are more sensitive and unbearable than before... It seems that over the years, Fate has been kind to you."

Lin Sanjiu was startled.

Indeed, if you think about it carefully, when she just left human society and was thrown into the doomsday world, she killed people much more frequently than now.At that time, she had to live and die with others on the narrow road of survival; now that she no longer has to live in the crisis of her life all the time, she seems to have a layer of empathy for the life and death of others.

"That's not bad," Si Lu continued, "Compared with a person who suffers from pain, he is a relatively more satisfied person, which makes me feel more at ease about my back."

Lin Sanjiu glanced at the dead body on the ground again.

"His death is useful to me." Si Lu raised his chin as a gesture, and naturally ordered to Dang Zhuang: "You push his body down the mountain, and you didn't see anything here today."

As for what exactly happened, Dreadlocks is indeed still in the fog, but at least he understands one thing, that is, his life does not seem to be in danger of losing for the time being; he glanced at Lin Sanjiu hesitantly, and saw She nodded too, then bent down and picked up the bearded corpse.

"Come to me to get paid when you're done." Si Lu said, patting him on the shoulder, as if Dirty Braid had joined his organization, "Do you have a paper crane?"

Dirty Braid was still holding the corpse in his hands, but his eyes lit up, and he nodded hurriedly.

After he carried the corpse away, Si Lu straightened the overturned box, sat down and sighed. "Look, it's so easy to kill with one knife, and it's bribed and ordered, which makes people feel a little uneasy."

Si Lu has always been an indifferent, rational, decisive and sharp person, and now he is even worse than before; Lin Sanjiu knew that he was taking care of himself, so he shook his head in a complicated mood and asked, "Tell me from the beginning. ,what is the problem?"

When Silu frowned slightly and seemed to be thinking about where to start, she didn't waste any time and walked over to feel Batoud's pulse.The latter was seriously injured, and only relying on some first aid medicine in the card library and her three-legged cat skills, Lin Sanjiu was really not sure - when she took out the medicine bandage, Si Lu took it.

Judging by the proficiency and smoothness of his movements, it seems that he has been injured a lot.

"The organization I belong to is called 'Shadow Hall', and it operates very secretly in the Twelve Realms, so few people have heard of it." Si Lu said while cleaning the wound: "There are several branches under the Shadow Hall, such as The Personnel Trials Department, that’s where I and the stabs started, as well as the Item Visa Department, the Executive Department, etc... These are just organizations responsible for daily operations, not much different from general organizations. Really let it get a "shadow" The reason for the name Temple is that it is actually the shadow controller of some other organization."

"Shadow controller?"

Silu showed a wry smile with a hint of irony. "You are also a person before the doomsday. You should have heard of hostile takeovers in the business war, right?"

Lin Sanjiu searched his memory for quite a while before he vaguely recalled this noun that seemed to come from a previous life.

"What the Shadow Palace does is a bit like a hostile takeover." Si Lu said thoughtfully, "The most common in the Twelve Realms are small organizations that emerge in endlessly. Ambitious people, smart people, and those who unite for self-protection Relatives and friends... As long as these people are still there, new small organizations will emerge. For small organizations with capabilities and potential, the Shadow Palace will use various means to control them and direct them to continue from behind the scenes. Do things; if the target is willing to be 'acquired', of course, if not, generally speaking, there is no choice."

"If you don't want to, what method will the Shadow Palace use?" Lin Sanjiu asked.

"Do you want to ask the one who saw the blood, or the one who didn't see the blood?"

"Can you still see the blood?"

Si Lu nodded, cut off the gauze in his hand, and said, "Of course. To divide, buy, exile the target... There are more methods without blood, sometimes even more cruel, and there have been cases where all the abilities of the target were washed away. In the end In fact, it is just a change of manager of a small organization; in fact, all the replacements are agents of the Shadow Palace without exception."

Lin Sanjiu was taken aback. "Why do you want to do this?"

"Why did the big companies acquire small companies in the past?" Si Lu glanced at her and asked back. "Of course it's because of its technology, customers, market, and prospects... You see, just replacing one or several people in the organization is equivalent to taking the entire organization and its power into its pocket. This is another reason why the Shadow Palace is so cautious, secretive and low-key when recruiting members. Everyone who is recruited is likely to be the head of another organization in the future. They must be capable and loyal. It has to be controlled again, and on the surface, this person has to have nothing to do with the Shadow Palace."

She remembered that when Citi introduced her as a candidate, she said that "candidates are all competing for the position of head of the organization" - at that time, both she and Qing Jiuliu thought that "head of the organization" meant accepting candidates of this organization.Looking at it now, either the set of introductions was intended to mislead people, or Tutu himself was confused and didn't figure it out back then.

After much deliberation, the latter is more likely.

"I understand," Lin Sanjiu nodded, and said, "For example, if I control Dirty Braid and make him the leader of Guihe, then Fanjia City will be my territory."

"Exactly. And if Fanjia City becomes negative equity, you can just get rid of the dreadlocks. No one will know that you have any connection with Fanjia City." Si Lu added: "Sometimes , the newly recruited members don’t even know the name of the Shadow Hall.”

Unexpectedly, there has been such an organization secretly operating in the Twelve Realms... Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but think of the number 42 he met at Harry's Farm.

He has a careful mind and a ruthless mind. Except for his unlucky luck, he is really a candidate with great potential; but when Silu realized that he might leak the secrets of the Shadow Palace, he did not hesitate to kill him. The head was removed.

"So...the slave training camp I destroyed in Red Nautilus is one of the organizations secretly controlled by the Shadow Palace." Lin Sanjiu was instantly recalled by countless memories, and whispered: "I I just vaguely know that the leader of the War Slave Training Camp is a person called the dean. When I met Shitu, I was still very confused. I didn’t understand the relationship between this dean and the organization he belonged to. Looking at it now, I’m afraid Chang is an agent."

"Actually, I don't know much about the follow-up of that incident." Si Lu healed Batoude's wound with three strokes, five cuts and two cuts, but he acted without tenderness or mercy, and threw him to the ground. Lost, said: "After escaping from the dimensional rift, I was involved in another series of tasks, and one time almost killed me. But one thing is certain, that agent caused a lot of damage to the organization. After such a big loss, the end will definitely not be good."

For the "Shadow Palace", this matter was satisfactorily resolved: the woman who destroyed the slave training camp died, and the dereliction of duty dean dealt with it; and for Lin Sanjiu, the word "slave training camp" , but forever shrouded in a layer of fog.

Si Lu turned his eyes around the city road, sighed, and said: "When I just learned that the 'Fanjia City Project' needs to be supervised by me personally, I thought that I also fell in love with the organization here just like in the past. Or the land may be of extremely high value, so I need to be involved. Who knows, after taking a look, I found that Fanjia City has no value at all, not to mention that there is no need to use me."

From what the residents of Fanjia City said, the local management organization "Guihe" is not very capable, but has a big appetite; as for Fanjia City itself—Lin Sanjiu looked around and nodded with sympathy .

On the other hand, Batoude, who was seriously injured and unconscious, did not forget to protest in a coma after hearing this, and an indistinct groan came from his nose; the two looked at him, and Si Lu said, "Look at him!" Look, he should regain consciousness tonight."

"That's good, I still have a lot of questions waiting for him." Lin Sanjiu said while crossing his arms.

Speaking of problems, she left a lot for Silu. "What did you do after you arrived?"

"We didn't arrive together. It's funny to say, I don't even know when this plan started..." Si Lu gestured to the blood on the floor and said, "When I was sent to Fanjia City At the time, he and another member of the organization had been here for a month or two. They disguised themselves as ordinary people, sneaked into Fanjia City, and quietly took away many ordinary people when others were not paying attention."

Lin Sanjiu said "Ah", "It's those who are missing!"

"Yes. My arrival has inspired the next step of the plan..." When Si Lu said this, his voice suddenly stopped.Lin Sanjiu looked away from him, and slowly cast his eyes into the depths of the city road in the distance—they all heard that in the depths of the distance, there was a footstep that could not be called swift and powerful at all, and was moving heavily. Come in this direction.

"It seems to be an ordinary person," Lin Sanjiu said in a low voice.Silu also nodded.

Neither of them made a sound, waiting for the footsteps to gradually approach, bringing a pale and pale face from the gloom.That face glanced out from behind the corner of the aisle. When the evolutionary saw her clearly, she couldn't see the people in the distance clearly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you evolutionaries?"

Lin Sanjiu jumped up.

The middle-aged woman whose limbs had exploded before sighed faintly. "I didn't expect either... Fanjia City would become what it is today. I'm sorry, don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame you evolutionists yourself."

　In fact, the outline of the Fanjia City part has already existed. The reason why this chapter took so long is because I went back and read the old chapters in order not to get the details wrong.I know this is what the author should do when filling in the hole, but I still wait to be praised. I hope everyone will cooperate, thank you.
