Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Martha Hiller checked the drawn magic circle for the last time, made sure it was hidden properly, and left the room, restoring everything to its original state.

Today, they [Tianming Cult] will trade a batch of spiritual animal products with local animal poachers in Bayam to be used in the great ceremony later. The transaction location is set in the Meradas Casino in front of us.

As the person in charge of this transaction, Martha led her believers to stay in the hotel above the casino very early on, surveyed the hotel and the entire building, and gradually completed secret magic circles in the casino.

She leaned on the armrest of the box and looked down at the lobby on the first floor through the one-way glass. All the foolish people were addicted to vulgar stimulation. Just some simple rules and low-level decorations could control the emotions and lives of these ordinary people. All the great joys and sorrows, and the subsequent ups and downs, would be determined by those pale poker cards.

This is the sadness of these little people. They cannot hear the voice of the Most Holy and Supreme from outer space, and thus cannot listen to the guiding light that leads them out of all the absurdities and inferiority in the world. They can only sink infinitely in the lies constructed by these false gods and ambitious people.

But their Tianming Sect is different, they are the saviors chosen by God.

The sound of nature that descends from the sky contains infinite mysteries. It is the incarnation of the savior god, so He is called the "Voice from Heaven."

And these chosen saviors were given the mission of saving the people and rescuing these mediocre and stupid people from the lies of false gods and ambitious people.

This grand mission cannot be accomplished in a day or two, it needs to be done step by step.

Bayam has been cracking down on the smuggling and poaching of animal products recently. The poaching groups that the Tianming Cult had previously cooperated with have all refused to cooperate, and only this poaching team is willing to take on the deal.

In fact, Martha and even the entire Tianming Cult didn't know much about these new partners. This time, a mysterious person introduced the new sellers to her on the dark web, saying that these poachers were very powerful and could get things for customers that others couldn't get. As the original plan was getting closer and closer, Martha didn't have much choice. In order to complete the great ceremony on time, she still contacted this team of unfamiliar poachers.

In order to prevent the situation of thieves attacking each other, Martha asked the believers to make all preparations for the battle. Many ritual arrays and necessary remote-controlled bombs had been set up around the meeting room. With just one order, the Tianming Cult could strangle all the opponents.

"Master Martha, I have brought the Lord of God here."

A believer wearing a dark yellow cape and revealing dark green trousers handed the envoy to Martha. The dark yellow robe covered the envoy's entire body, and even her face was completely hidden by the huge hood, making it impossible to see her appearance clearly, and only her two dark green trouser legs could be seen.

The recent divination and intelligence have brought bad news. After thinking about it, Martha decided to bring the envoy of God to the transaction site. Since there is no guarantee that the other party will not cheat, it is better to directly rob the thieves and sacrifice the other party to "The Voice of Heaven", to the gods believed in by the cult. This can not only ensure that these new partners will not fall behind, but also contribute to the great ceremony that will follow. It is a win-win situation.

A believer supported the angel of God and placed her hand on the back of Martha's hand. During the whole process, the angel of God did not make any sound and allowed himself to be manipulated, his movements as sluggish as a rag doll.

Martha gently patted the back of the messenger's hand, with a sinister smile on her lips.

Today, I want both the goods and the lives.

Zelens Fry looked at the Meradas Casino with its neon lights flashing in the distance and stomped out his cigarette with a serious expression.

Thanks to those inferior colleagues and the rainbow brush of the chaebol family, the situation became serious overnight. A lightning offensive was launched against poaching throughout Rorsted, and Zelens's smuggling business suddenly became extremely difficult.

In the next short period of time, the entire animal smuggling market in Rorsted will be in a slump, many products from protected animals will be out of stock, and the remaining stocks will be sold at sky-high prices in a short period of time.

Fortunately, Zelens and his team had done a great job before. They sailed in the sea area of ​​Rorsted to find those nameless islands with dense rainforests and few people, and then went up to plunder their animal resources. Many rich people have a special liking for the rich protected animals in Rorsted. If they hunted those spiritual creatures, they would make a lot of money. Zelens' main goal is still those spiritual animal resources, but these things are often protected animals stipulated by the official regulations of Rorsted.

Among them, Zelens harvested some scales of the giant-tailed crocodile with colorful light scales.

Now, on the one hand, due to the official crackdown, it is difficult for poachers to capture new scales in a short period of time, which has caused the price of scales to soar; on the other hand, the authorities are cracking down on this kind of banned products. If the authorities find that you have this kind of scales, you will definitely be severely punished by the authorities.

Zelens acted decisively and prepared to sell the scales as quickly as possible, rather than waiting until the price reached its peak. Although this would result in some loss of profit, it was better than delaying for too long and getting caught by the police.

When Zelens was anxiously looking for a buyer, a mysterious intermediary contacted Zelens on the dark web and said that he could provide him with a client who would satisfy him and whose needs were also very urgent.

According to general industry practice, poaching gangs are unlikely to cooperate with completely unfamiliar clients or intermediaries. However, the situation was pressing, and Zelens was afraid that things might change over time, so he quickly agreed to the deal.

Finally, the mysterious intermediary set the transaction venue at the Meradas Casino tonight.

As a frequent visitor to the Meradas Casino, Zelens was very familiar with the casino, which was also his home court in a sense. But the mysterious guest opposite him made Zelens frown.

"Where's the hacker we caught last time?" Zelens shouted to his men, "Bring him and his brain computer here."

A few burly poachers came over carrying a trembling tall and thin man.

The tall and thin hacker couldn't even stand steadily. He had no hair on his head, only many metal-like lines and several sockets at the back of his head. These were the traces of his brain-computer surgery.

This hacker once caused their team to lose several large remittances, and was caught by Zelens two months ago.

Simply killing him would not satisfy Zelens, so he thought of a better way: to transform this hateful electronic thief into his own brain-computer hacker.

Brain-computer, as the name suggests, is a technology that transforms one's brain into a computer. It is one of the most advanced prosthetic technologies. Users of brain-computer can obtain amazing computing power, which is far greater than the computers or servers used by ordinary people in daily life, and even not inferior to the large computers used by some companies for commercial purposes.

But brain-computer technology is not mature yet.

Currently, there is no approval for the commercialization of brain-computers in the prosthetic market, so there are currently no commercial brain-computers that can be sold legally and in compliance with regulations. People like them in the gray area can only obtain brain-computers that are produced using unknown technology.

Powerful effects bring powerful negative effects. The use of brain-computers often causes double damage to the user's body and mind. On the one hand, the implantation of brain-computers will greatly increase the chance of cybermania; on the other hand, brain-computers will still produce a strong rejection reaction with the entire body. The intensity of this reaction varies from person to person, but inhibitors in this regard are indispensable. Without sufficient intake of inhibitors, or using brain-computer operations for too long, the human body will collapse.

So in the month since the brain-computer transformation was completed, the hacker was used as a supercomputer by the Zelens Thieves Group and was overloaded every day. The shortage of inhibitors and the high-intensity operation have put the hacker on the verge of collapse.

Zelens suddenly felt it was a pity to bring this brain-computer hacker here as a one-time insurance.

But Zelens didn't trust this new client. People doing this kind of business were not good people. Zelens himself was a lunatic, so he had to be prepared to overturn the stage. If necessary, everyone could be an enemy, and all his subordinates could be abandoned.

At the same time, Zelens also understood the Lost Church's style of doing things. Their official Beyonders always liked to disguise themselves as dealers and hide in the casino to cause trouble. Just because he didn't notice Meradas's abnormality didn't mean there wasn't a church dealer inside. Bringing more insurance always gives you more peace of mind.

A metal helmet was handed to Zelens, who put it on the brain-computer hacker's head himself, temporarily isolating the hacker's network signal, and injected him with several injections of inhibitors.

"As long as you complete this mission, I will let you go."

The brain-computer hacker's twitching stopped temporarily, and Zelens patted the hacker's shoulder heavily.

This time, I'm determined to win.
