As for where his adoptive mother usually hid the ring, Zhao Xun didn't know.

He had never thought of getting his adoptive mother's jewelry, so naturally he didn't pay attention to where the ring was hidden.

When he decided to board the Endless Train last September, he hadn't thought about finding the ring.

Unexpectedly, it was found by these two brothers.

"With this, our family won't have to worry about food and clothing for a while." The elder brother carefully wrapped the gold ring in a torn handkerchief and prepared to put it in his pocket.

At this moment, Zhao Xun took off his [Chameleon Cloak].

My brother was so frightened by the person who appeared out of nowhere that the handkerchief in his hand fell to the ground.

The younger brother, who had his back to Zhao Xun, was confused and asked his brother "What's wrong" while turning his head to look.

When he discovered Zhao Xun, his younger brother was also surprised.

However, before the two of them could do anything, they were hypnotized by Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun walked over, picked up the ring on the ground and put it into his pocket.

Then, he hypnotized his brother: "I am a new friend of yours. For some reason, you must take me to meet the big brother you know. As for the reason, you don't care and don't want to ask more. You just know that you must let me meet your big brother."

The brother murmured Zhao Xun's words and quickly accepted the order.

Zhao Xun added: "You and I are the only ones who know about this matter. You will not mention it to anyone other than your eldest brother, not even your family members."

My brother nodded without hesitation to show that he understood.

Zhao Xun looked at his brother again: "I am your brother's new friend. He brought you here today to introduce me to you. Although we have only met once, you trust me very much and have no guard against me at all."

My brother frowned slightly, but he quickly accepted the hypnosis instructions.

For those who grew up in slums, being dominated by outsiders is the norm. In order to survive, changing their own ideas according to the wishes of others has almost become a survival instinct.

So, it is easier to hypnotize them.

Finally, Zhao Xun hypnotized his elder and younger brothers to make them forget about the gold ring, and only then did he break the brothers' hypnotic state.

When the two brothers came to their senses and looked at Zhao Xun again, they no longer had the frightened and nervous look they had before.

"I suddenly remembered that I have something very important to do." The elder brother looked at Zhao Xun and asked, "I have to ask you to meet my elder brother. When are you free?"

"I'm always available." Zhao Xun said with a smile, "Why don't you give your eldest brother a call and ask him when he's available?"

"That's right, I'll ask now." My brother took out an old brick phone from his trouser pocket and dialed a number.

When he pressed the answer button, he subconsciously walked to the corner, turned his back to Zhao Xun and his brother, and humbly said some nice words to the person on the other end of the phone.

A minute later, the elder brother hung up the phone and said to Zhao Xun, "Big brother will treat us both to lunch tomorrow at noon."

"How did you convince him to meet me?" Zhao Xun asked.

"You are my brother!" The elder brother patted his chest and said with some pride, "I said you also wanted to join my camp and follow my lead. My elder brother is in need of people recently, so I agreed readily."

"I see." Zhao Xun nodded and said, "Then come pick me up here tomorrow and I'll go with you."

"Okay." The elder brother agreed readily, waved to Zhao Xun, and left with his younger brother.

Watching the two brothers leave the house, Zhao Xun narrowed his eyes slightly.

He didn't want the house to be demolished and built into a factory because his adoptive mother wanted to return to her hometown.

My adoptive mother was separated from her family due to war when she was very young, and she never found any relatives before her death.

The adoptive mother didn't know whether those people were still alive.

This place became my adoptive mother's only "root", and it is filled with memories of my adoptive parents, so it is most appropriate to bury her here.

This was his adoptive mother's only last wish, and he would do all the follow-up work for her.

Therefore, he had to hypnotize all the people in charge of this project and make them give up the project.

The process is a bit cumbersome, and you have to look for people one level at a time.

But he has plenty of time now.

April 1st

Ten o'clock in the morning.

The older brother of the two brothers came to find Zhao Xun.

He took Zhao Xun to a massage parlor on the other side of the slum.

This massage parlor is not located in the slums, but in a commercial street 500 meters away from the slums.

My brother led Zhao Xun upstairs to the massage parlor and walked into the private room that looked the largest and most presentable.

As soon as the door opened, a smell of poor quality tobacco hit me in the face.

Zhao Xun frowned slightly but said nothing.

There were five beautifully dressed women sitting in the box, and in the middle of them sat a man covered in tattoos.

The man's neck and cheeks were covered with tattoos, and only on his forehead could you still see some human skin.

"Brother," the elder brother walked up to the tattooed man and bent over, "This is the new brother I told you about."

The tattooed man took a puff of his cigarette, raised his eyes to look Zhao Xun up and down.

"You don't look strong enough." He said with a little disdain, "I want a thug, not a pretty boy who only looks like he can pick up women."

Zhao Xun didn't give the tattooed man a chance to say more nonsense, his eyes lit up slightly.

The tattooed man's eyes suddenly became dull.

"Get these women out." Zhao Xun said to the tattooed man in a calm tone.

The five women looked at Zhao Xun in surprise. They obviously didn't expect Zhao Xun to dare to speak to the tattooed man like that.

Although Zhao Xun's tone sounded normal and not domineering, the tattooed man was the boss here, and everyone who spoke to him was polite, even humble.

This casual tone, as if speaking to a peer, is disrespectful to the tattooed man.

The women subconsciously cast sympathetic glances towards Zhao Xun, feeling somewhat sorry that such a handsome man would probably be beaten till his face was covered in blood.

Just as these women had these thoughts, they heard the tattooed man say, "You guys get out first."

The women were all stunned.

No one expected this to be the result.

Not only was the tattooed man not angry, he even listened to Zhao Xun and let them go.

Is this a sudden change of character?

Although they were puzzled, the women did not dare to ask more questions and just got up and left.

Zhao Xun waved to his brother: "You go out too."

The brother glanced at the tattooed man and seeing that he had no objection, he easily left the box and considerately closed the door.

Zhao Xun then walked up to the tattooed man and began to hypnotize him, asking him who his "acquaintance" was and asking him to introduce him to someone.

Using this method, it took another three days for Zhao Xun to finally find the main person in charge.

The position was much higher than he had expected.

He is actually a member of the top leadership of District 10.

For the upper class, relocating heavily polluting factories to slums is not a big deal and is usually left to the people below to be responsible for and supervise.

But this time, the person in charge and supervising it was actually a member of the top leadership.

Moreover, they are not the direct subordinates of a leader, but the leader himself.

Zhao Xun intuitively felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

However, his goal was to make District 10 completely give up the idea of ​​demolishing that neighborhood. As for what complicated intentions those leaders had, he didn't care.

As long as the result is what he wants.

However, it is not easy for him to meet leadership of this level, even if introduced by people below him.

So, he had to change his approach, find out where the leader lived, and sneak in.

1 month 10 day.

Six p.m.

Zhao Xun successfully sneaked into the villa where the leader lived.

The leadership structure of District 10 is similar to that of District 20, but there is no base like District 20 where the leaders live together.

The leaders of District 10 each have their own mansions and can live wherever they want. However, no matter where they go, there are at least thirty bodyguards guarding them.

Of course, for Zhao Xun, these bodyguards could not become an obstacle for him.

At this time, the leader had not returned yet, so Zhao Xun hid in the study.

According to the information he had heard, this leader was in the habit of going to the study to summarize the day's affairs after returning home every time before taking a rest.

Never an exception.

Therefore, waiting in the study is a good choice.

In order to avoid being hacked and monitored, there are no cameras installed in the study.

After Zhao Xun crawled in through the crack of the door with the body of an ant, he turned back into human form.

The waiting process is always boring, so he casually looked at some documents on the desk.

With the still bright moonlight outside the window, he could barely see the words clearly.

It’s about volunteers.

Zhao Xun suddenly became interested.

He looked at the contents carefully again.

It turned out to be the waiting list for volunteers in February.

It’s only the beginning of January, and they’ve already started looking for volunteers for next month... The leaders of District 10 really started preparing long in advance.

The shortlist is not long, only eight people in total.

With so few candidates, the number of people finally selected will be even smaller.

It seems that the consumption over the past year has caused a serious shortage of talent in District 10.

Zhao Xun put on disposable plastic gloves and then reached out to take the documents and look through them.

There are even two people from other districts on this list.

I was tricked into coming here in the name of academic exchange.

Importing talents from other districts is indeed a good choice.

On the one hand, it can make up for the quality problem of volunteers and increase the hope of solving the endless train problem.

On the other hand, it can also weaken the number of talents in other districts. In case the Endless Train can never be solved, it can also prevent the Tenth District from being destroyed by the Endless Train while other districts prosper.

However, this method of deception is not a long-term solution.

I guess the leaders of District 10 should be considering more reasonable cooperation plans.

Zhao Xun put down the information in his hand and didn't look at it again.

It was unclear how long these volunteers could live after boarding the endless train, so there was no need for him to remember them.

Moreover, he could not reveal any information about the Endless Train to any non-players in the real world. Even if he met these volunteers in advance, he would not be able to communicate.

This is not something he cares about, just take a look.

Zhao Xun turned his gaze to the desktop computer on the desk.

All he cared about was the land where his adoptive parents' house stood.

Tonight, I just need to manipulate this leader and change all the records in the computer. At least in the next few years, I won't have to worry about being dismantled.

A few years later, when policies change or leadership power is transferred, he will hypnotize again.

Zhao Xun sat cross-legged on the carpet, waiting boredly.

Unexpectedly, before the leader came back, a freshly-made pop-up window appeared.

[[Deputy Train Conductor]'s special power: monitor [Train Conductor]'s behavior in the real world.]

[When the [Conductor] is found to have rebellious intentions, the [Deputy Conductor] can cross the line and kill the [Conductor], directly replacing him as the new [Conductor], and obtain all the points of the former [Conductor]. ]

Zhao Xun raised his eyebrows slightly.

It seems that Han Bing must have received this message before.

Previously on the endless train, Han Bing's test of him was to find out whether he also had this [special power].

This [special power] still has a certain appeal.

You don't need to spend another 4,000 points. You can directly kill the Grim Reaper to become the new [Train Conductor] and get all of the Grim Reaper's points.

It's much better than the conventional way of becoming a [Train Conductor].

But killing the Grim Reaper is difficult.

Although he didn't know why this [special power] suddenly appeared at this time, Zhao Xun could at least be sure of one thing.

The Grim Reaper must have harbored a "rebellious heart", and the "behind the scenes" of the Endless Train noticed it.

To put it bluntly, all the players are just pawns of the "masterminds".

For a person who controls the game, ordinary chess pieces are nothing to be afraid of.

Unless this chess piece makes the "person behind the scenes" feel threatened.

Therefore, the Grim Reaper should have some useful information, such as the true identity of the "behind the scenes" or the weaknesses of the "behind the scenes".

In short, there must be some secret or secrets that make the "people behind the scenes" wary.

Otherwise, the [Deputy Train Conductor] would not be given such special powers.

This made Zhao Xun very interested.

He is not a person who will just accept things as they come, so it is impossible for him to be controlled by the "mastermind" of the endless train.

If the God of Death really knew the secrets and even the weaknesses of the "Behind the Scenes", he would not want to kill God in order to become the "Train Conductor".

After all, the enemy of my enemy can serve as a temporary ally.

After things here are resolved, he will try to meet the god of death in the real world.

Just as Zhao Xun made this decision, he heard a car horn downstairs, and then the gate outside the villa opened.

He stood up, walked to the window and took a look. It was the leader's car.

It was already 8:30 in the evening, and the person he was waiting for finally came back.
