I'll retire when I'm done

Yokohama had no magicians, which was one of the reasons why the students of the high school of magic at that time came to exorcise the magic spirits. At first, Bai Hong didn't think there was any problem with this, but after staying in the downtown area of ​​Yokohama for a few days, combined with The report sent by the Ability Secret Service Division roughly understood the problem.

In short, it is similar to Everdark Isle.

It’s just that the situation on Chang’an Island is firstly due to the influence of the Living Abyss. His existence is like the fierce poison of the Gu King, but it has the effect of suppressing many subtle spell spirits; Human emotions are always on the verge of collapse, more powerful curse spirits cannot be derived, and such strong and deep despair cannot derive other curses.

But Yokohama is different. It is a complex city filled with all kinds of existence. After the defeat, the homeless defeated soldiers, ordinary people living a normal life, the mafia licking blood, and the people wandering in the gray area. People with supernatural powers, the low-level people struggling to live in the slums...

It’s just that the city itself is always full of chaos and war, even if someone dies because of the curse, no one will notice—casualties are happening every day, people die in silent corners every day, the binding force of the law is in this city The government has been suppressed to the extreme, and the government has become the existence with the least right to speak here.

And in the recent period, that kind of chaotic and crazy fighting with each other has gradually shown signs of ending.

"Controlled the leader of the mad dogs"...

The rule that the strong dragon does not suppress the local snake is not the only example, but the government was suppressed into such a virtue, but it was also unexpected.

Listening to the description on the other side of the phone, Bai Hong couldn't help sighing.

"Don't act like I'm the only one who can solve the problem. The investigation has reached this point and you still want me to deal with it. Then what's the use of you guys?"

"I'm very sorry, but it's true." The voice on the other side of the phone was respectful and apologetic: "If I have to say, a large part of the army withdrawn from Ever Dark Island joined the mafia here, plus the former port mafia With the power accumulated by the party, if we really go to war, we have no plans to fully grasp the victory."

"Why, blame me for leading the troops too well?"

"It's not..." The opposite party smiled wryly: "You don't need to say that, it's just that the port mafia has a different bottom line from ours. We also have to take into account the issues of civilians and stability maintenance, and the funds allocated from above are not very good. Sufficient, but they really don't need to care about these issues, although they don't want to admit it, but we are indeed not at the same level."

"Eh--"

Bai Hong lazily stretched out the ending sound.

"Unlike you, Mr. Chief over there seems to be a smart man."

"Even if it's true, please don't continue to mock us at this time... It's very demoralizing, my lord."

"It doesn't matter, just tell the truth." Bai Hong waved his hand: "Okay, I already know, I will probably go out alone a few times in the future, just remember to take care of Xiaohui for me."

"This is natural, please rest assured—"

Before the other party finished his promise, Bai Hong's flirtatious threat had already passed along the phone.

"If there is something wrong with this child, you will all die for me, understand."

"...Yes, my lord."

"Oh, by the way, if you plan to investigate on your own, you probably can't avoid the Leibo Street in the Yokohama Concession... I hope you can pay attention to a small problem."

"small issue?"

"Ah... It should be said that it is also the main reason why we have not been able to obtain relevant information so far—"

The other party pondered for a moment, and his tone was slightly cautious:

"Although we already know the basic information about the major illegal organizations in Yokohama, there is an organization called 'Sheep' which is very special. Surprisingly, this is a group of minors who help each other, but they also have The strength to fight the port mafia."

Bai Hong raised his tone slightly: "You mean to say that you, a group of well-trained military police who have seen a lot of world experience, lost to a group of underage herbivores here."

"...I'm very sorry, but there are not a few supernatural beings here in Yokohama, and many of them are types that even we would find troublesome. The leader of the sheep is just like this, 'whoever violates the territory of the sheep will suffer strong Counterattack'... But since we have not had any special casualties so far, it's just..."

"Anyway, compared to other places that can kill people, it's okay to let this kind of small animal that is a bit fierce but not lethal on the whole be left alone. Don't tell me you think so."

Apologizing dryly, Bai Hong rubbed his forehead and sighed.

"Got it, let me take a look."

***

Said it was an investigation, Bai Hong's first step was to test the degree of freedom in this place. For example, a bounty hunter, which seems to be a common occupation in Yokohama, also shows that the public power itself has great influence on this place. The binding force of the city is extremely low.

The more information Baihong got, the more he couldn't help but began to wonder whether the three-hour plan that Natsume Soseki discussed with her was really serious. There is a government and civilians here. Even Hong Kong gangsters have the courage to call themselves legal because of their current scale of influence-but under this premise, the government is more like a mere decoration.

She didn't see the picture of stable rule at all, what was in front of her was clearly a mess.

... Next time we meet, I must break that old man's cane.

Bai Hong thought with a blank face.

The next thing she was more curious about was how much money these people could mobilize.

Bounty hunters are a very good business. No matter who participates in this industry, their strength can be discounted quite intuitively. It can almost be said that it is one of the most difficult types of inflation among all walks of life; as long as they have the ability Bite off the head of the prey, you can exchange a lot of money.

Bai Hong rubbed his neck, thinking casually, she was offered a reward of 50 more than ten years ago, now she doesn't know how much this head can be sold for.

...Oh, I'm really curious.

It's just that she didn't have a clear boundary just relying on her own guessing. After comparing multiple sources, she took advantage of the night to step into one of the largest night bars - which is also the default intermediary place for bounty hunters in the industry.

The heels of the military boots and the cane in her hand landed together, and the moment the strange young woman stepped on the old floor of the bar, all the shouting and noisy voices in the room disappeared.

"--excuse me."

Bai Hong spoke softly, folded his hands on the cane and bowed slightly to the people in the room, his posture could be called polite.

"Hey--!"

The rough and unrestrained man shouted loudly, with an obvious frivolous and oily tone in his voice: "This is not the place for a blind little bitch like you to come-what, it's too lonely and there is nowhere to go Is it little beauty?"

The rest of the guys immediately burst into laughter, but the laughter in the bar was sparse, and not many people followed suit. After laughing for a while, they didn't hear any other voices of catering, whether they were discussing with each other on weekdays. The suddenly quiet look of the woman's friends, or the overly calm reaction of the person being teased, all make the laughter dull and boring at this time.

Part of them stared at him with rather strange eyes, as if looking at a dead man who could talk; while the other part faintly showed clear murderous intent and hostility, but it was aimed at the young woman he had just done wantonly. Laughing tablemates.

"It's not."

Just as the guy who was the first to speak and the others looked at each other in dismay, Bai Hong, who was still standing at the door, responded calmly, "I'm just bored recently, and I want to see what price I can sell."

"..."

This answer was so horrifying that even the person who started teasing couldn't react. It took several seconds for someone to react, and asked in a strange tone: "...Are you out of money?"

"I have."

Bai Hong replied with a smile, "I've said it all, I'm too bored - but money is not too much, and by the way, let's see how the level is here, it can kill two birds with one stone."

"...Little beauty, if you are short of money, you might as well follow me." There was a strange aura slowly approaching, and one didn't need to spend much effort to guess what his expression was at the moment. How hideous, Bai Hong didn't move, turned his head slightly, and asked meekly: "May I ask if you are worth anything?"

"Of course! My head is worth [-] U.S. dollars. You won't suffer if you follow me, even though you—" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something pressed against the middle of his throat. When she lifted it up and happened to touch his throat, she asked lightly, "Can it be cashed directly?"

what?

Before the man could react, the bar owner, who had always been taciturn, smiled subtly and replied generously: "Someone else's words may require formalities, but if it's yours, then of course it's okay."

"That's good."

Bai Hong nodded.

The man who was pressed against his throat only had time to look at the beauty in front of him and showed a very happy smile. The next second, he felt a slight chill on his neck and his eyes turned. The body that has lost its head is still standing upright.

Am I... dead?

Before the pupils dilated, this was the man's last question.

When and how to move his hands, no one in the room could see clearly.

Immediately, Bai Hong lightly tapped the opponent's chest with his cane, that huge body leaned back heavily, and the blood gushing out in an instant converged into a river of scarlet blood splashing all over the ground.

The room was filled with dead silence.

"Okay," she said in a brisk tone. At this time, she was cautiously testing the floor with a cane to find the direction like a blind person, and quickly stood in front of the bar owner: "Where is my fifty thousand dollars?"

There were countless gunshots and furious roars beside her, and all kinds of curses and insults continued, but no one could rush to Baihong's face——

Where she couldn't see, those who wanted to rush forward were strangled by their hands and feet and stuck on the back of their necks. The old friends who had been drinking and talking before suddenly turned their guns at the temple of the partner just now. The change made most people unable to react in time. Some of them couldn't control their furious emotions, and yelled at the bar owner who hadn't expressed his attitude from beginning to end:

"What are you doing, Sota Nojima!?"

"Don't you know what the rules are? This woman broke the rules, but what are you guys going to do now!?"

"Don't you think that you won't provoke the port mafia!? Who do you think took in your group of lost dogs!?"

……

All kinds of quarrels and insults can be heard endlessly.

"It's noisy, Nojima."

Bai Hong complained a little displeased: "Is it so noisy here?"

"Oh..." The hotel owner Nojima Sota casually mixed a light and refreshing cocktail and handed it to Bai Hong, speaking in an extremely cheerful tone: "These bastards are somewhat excited when they see you, please understand."

"After all, everyone has been missing for so many years, Major General."

"Ah, about this, don't call me major general for the time being." Bai Hong sat down on the chair with a smile on his face, resting his hands on his chin, looking as obedient as possible, "I'm currently on vacation, keep a low profile~ "

Sota Nojima laughed along with him: "Are you eyeing Yokohama by the way? It's indeed your style."

Amidst the gunshots and screams in the background, Yan Yan talked happily with each other. The boss took out a $[-] cash bill from under the bar, wiped off the blood that had just been splashed on the bar, and then pushed the money away. In front of Baihong, he casually asked:

"Speaking of which, what you said earlier about selling yourself—"

Bai Hong waved his hand: "Ah, I'm serious about that. Just in time, since you have nothing to do, come and help me estimate the price, Ye Dao, for example, how much is my head worth—"

"It's funny... What are you trying to do? Sell yourself at such a high price while saying you want to keep a low profile and take a vacation. The two are contradictory, Major General."

"You won't give me a false identity?"

Bai Hong tilted his head, his smile was particularly refreshing and cheerful: "And Ye Dao, aren't you curious? What is the level of strength in Yokohama?"

You must know that there is nothing more simple and intuitive temptation than a huge amount of wealth. Fishing law enforcement is a very useful trick no matter how many worlds you change. There are so many melees in Yokohama, but anyone who can be listed in the Secret Service Division Basically, they are all concerned about themselves. The consumption of firearms and medicines is not a small amount. It is a money-burning business every day. When a fat sheep comes suddenly, no one will not take the bait-sheep may be an exception. The problem is that his position is in the slum. Street, if the leader is somewhat self-motivated, he should be very clear that his family is short of money compared to the others.

"Sure, listen to you."

Nojima Sota nodded resignedly, he didn't ask where to get so much bounty, he just asked calmly: "Then what price do you want to set?"

Bai Hong stroked the ring on his hand, suddenly leaned over and smiled.

"What do you think about tens of billions of dollars?"

She tore off the white silk from her eyes, pointed at her pair of bewitching magic eyes, and smiled more happily:

"Leaving aside the head, what do you think of the price of 50 billion per eye?"
