Chapter 668: Chapter 668: Doctor (Seeking Monthly Ticket for a large Chapter)
He Ao placed the suitcase containing the urn in the back seat of the off-road vehicle before taking the driver’s seat.
They had previously stored this suitcase in a locker at a nearby mall, and now He Ao had retrieved it.
"Grandpa, where do we go next?"
Seated in the passenger seat, Jia Xi looked at He Ao with a bit of confusion and asked.
The dim sky at the end was tinged with a hint of dawn’s white, as the dawn had quietly arrived with the retreat of the night.
"To a place in South City, you practice for a while first."
He Ao started the off-road vehicle and connected his wristband to it, telling Jia Xi.
"Okay."
Jia Xi nodded.
At that time, He Ao also started the off-road vehicle.
This off-road vehicle was given to He Ao by the Scorpion Gang, along with the Gauss Gun in Jia Xi’s hand; they also gave her a box of ammo.
He Ao was not good at refusing the kindness of others, so he had to accept these items.
The condition of the vehicle was quite new and did not resemble the usual gang-modified off-road vehicles with holes on all sides.
It bore the logo of the Yiwis Space System, the vehicle’s system was advanced, the chassis was soft, the suspension effects were good, and the road feel was clear. Besides being powered by a battery pack, it could also run on liquid fuel cells.
This vehicle seemed to have been designed with wild terrain in mind, appearing like a specialized military off-road vehicle.
The roads in South City were very poor, and this kind of off-road vehicle could greatly improve the driving experience and alleviate the discomfort of traversing bad roads.
However, when the vehicle’s system was connected to the wristband, it was no longer He Ao driving but Eve.
The vehicle started smoothly, and Jia Xi, sitting in the passenger seat, obediently began to practice as her grandfather had told her.
He Ao slightly squinted his eyes and began absorbing the energy in the air while resting.
The fatigue from the recent battle was fading away bit by bit as he practiced.
His physique gradually improved from 9 to 10.
He Ao glanced at Jia Xi beside him.
The little girl had her eyes closed and was practicing breathing exercises. Then, as she practiced, her little head leaned towards the car door and rested on the soft lining, seemingly falling asleep.
Her breathing was even, and occasionally her nose twitched.
For He Ao, who was used to practicing and had a strong soul, sleeping at night didn’t really matter, for the state of practice could help him relieve some fatigue.
But, Jia Xi was just a child, and even with her strong physical condition, after the intense battle of the evening, she was tired, fatigued, and had stayed up late the night before as well.
He Ao watched the girl beside him.
Jia Xi’s obedience and sensibility along the way made him almost forget that she was a little girl under ten who had been up for two consecutive nights.
He took off his coat and shook it straight, gently covering his granddaughter with it.
Then he looked up at the road ahead.
Daybreak’s light filtered through the gaps between tall buildings at an oblique angle from the high sky, like flashing bands of light sweeping over the off-road vehicle.
"Search completed, a total of 1337 black market mission information and 372 wristband files retrieved, black market system has shut down due to failure in the live biological verification, three exploratory messages sent to the ’Shadow Cutter’ through the black market software, but none has been delivered. It is speculated that the Shadow Cutter has unilaterally deleted the black market friend."
At the same time, Eve’s voice resonated in He Ao’s ears.
Deleting friends unilaterally, huh?
"Did you find any information on the Shadow Cutter or the Evolution Acolytes?"
He Ao’s voice was very low as he whispered the question.
"In the release of level 3 and below missions, there was no information found regarding tasks posted by the Shadow Cutter, nor any related information about the Shadow Cutter or Evolution Acolytes."
"Hmm?"
He Ao was slightly startled.
From what he had learned so far, the black market was an important channel for Shadow Cutter and Evolution Acolytes to develop ’partners’.
The lack of information retrievable about this situation suggested that either the Evolution Acolytes had stopped using the black market to develop ’collaborators’, or they had adopted other more covert methods to conceal their information.
Could there be relevant clues in the bracelet left by the Venomous Snake Gang leader?
After pondering for a moment, He Ao continued to ask, "What is the content of the three hundred or so files in that bracelet?"
"37% of the files are related to Evolution Acolytes, including transaction files between the Scorpion Gang and Evolution Acolytes, and investigation files of the Scorpion Gang on Evolution Acolytes, among others.
"21% of the files are internal structural documents of the Scorpion Gang, including the preferences and weaknesses of the leaders of various factions within, and the relationships between different faction leaders, among others.
"42% of the files are records of tasks that Kajet Group has entrusted to the Scorpion Gang over the years.
"Files concerning Kajet Grain Industry Group were encrypted and placed, but after testing, it was discovered that their password is the inversion of the bracelet’s unlocking password, changing the ordering from year-month-day to day-month-year.
"After decrypting and searching, it was found that the files include assassinations of council members, leaders of agricultural employees, mayoral candidates, manipulation of forced voting in Green Olive Street area, organizing ’opposition’ demonstrations, assassinations of protest leaders, and more."
Hearing Eve’s words, He Ao rubbed his brow.
It seemed that the Scorpion Gang leader had left him a ’grand gift’.
These files, detailing various events, can be collectively described by a traditional term, ’black ledger’.
In theory, they should not be kept, but to avoid being ’cleansed’ one day, the Scorpion Gang leader, serving as a ’dirty glove’, specially preserved them to blackmail the trading parties with whom they dealt.
These files could play a significant role at certain critical moments.
This guy truly believed He Ao would turn this city upside down and was even willing to lend He Ao a hand.
He had no loyalty or trust in either Evolution Acolytes or the Kajet Group.
He probably wanted to drag them both down with him if he fell.
Mad, but logical.
He Ao rubbed his brow.
This guy might have gone crazy long ago.
He Ao brought his thoughts back and continued the previous topic, "Do those files related to Evolution Acolytes contain information about how they make contact with the outside world?"
"According to the information recorded in the files,"
Eve said in a soft voice,
"Shadow Cutter as well as the contacts between Evolution Acolytes and Scorpion Gang are all one-way contacts. They find the Scorpion Gang through a vagabond or passerby before a trade, specifying a new location and content for the deal,
"Each time the location is different, and the people involved in the trades are also different, so the Scorpion Gang can’t find their fixed location or personnel.
"However, the Scorpion Gang conducted an in-depth investigation into the behavior of Evolution Acolytes and identified many people suspected of having dealings with Polluted Monsters.
"Ultimately, it was discovered that Evolution Acolytes like to post ’kidnapping tasks’ on the black market to recruit ’new members’. Those who accept these kidnapping tasks enter their assessment process, gradually making contact until it is confirmed that they can be developed into new members."
"So, you’re saying the people who accept these kidnapping tasks might be able to make contact with members of Evolution Acolytes?"
After thinking for a moment, He Ao continued to ask, "Do the files contain the account information of those who post the kidnapping tasks?"
"Yes, but most of the accounts can’t be traced," Eve continued, "Currently, there is only one nicknamed ’Blood Wolf’, who is posting a kidnapping task on the black market, with the task level at lv2. Would you like to use the ’Listener of the Night’ account to take on the task?"
"First, private message him to ask for the details of the task."
He Ao nodded lightly.
Tasks on the black market need to be discussed privately first to confirm the details of the task and the payment method before they can be accepted.
A detailed conversation can also draw out some useful intelligence.
"Understood."
Eve replied.
The world fell silent once again.
He Ao turned his head and glanced at Jia Xi sleeping soundly beside him, her small face puffed up and round, and he softly smiled.
It was at that moment that the off-road vehicle slowly came to a stop.
The car halted in front of a somewhat worn-out small door.
He Ao removed his wristband, got out of the car lightly on his feet, had Eve switch the automatic driving to remote vehicle control, then carefully closed the car door, and took the bodies of the two Transcendents from the trunk, standing before the small door.
Faint glimmers of light seeped out from behind the door; the lights inside the house were on, and the people inside might still be awake.
He Ao raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.
After a brief pause, the door opened.
A man with a goatee and round-frame glasses appeared in He Ao’s view.
Clutching a pipe in his mouth, he gazed at He Ao, "Still alive, huh?"
This was the underground Doctor he had previously visited to buy adrenaline.
"Lucky me,"
He Ao calmly responded.
He dropped the bag he was holding on the ground, "One C-level, one F-level."
"What do you want?"
The underground Doctor glanced at the blood-stained package on the ground, then lifted his head, sweeping his gaze over to Jia Xi, who was deeply asleep by the passenger window. He raised his hand and pressed a button behind the door.
A rolling shutter door beside the small door slowly lifted, revealing a spacious garage housing a red sports car.
"Drive the car in. It’s not safe around here,"
The underground Doctor puffed on his mouthpiece, adding slowly.
He Ao looked at him, chuckled, and raised his wristband, allowing Eve to drive the car into the garage.
As the off-road vehicle completely entered the garage, the rolling shutter fell once more, and He Ao turned back to look at the underground Doctor, "Didn’t think you’d be so thoughtful."
"You’re a stingy old man who’s annoying, but your little granddaughter there is quite likable,"
The underground Doctor turned around, "Come in and let’s talk."
He still remembered the last time He Ao had bargained with him for adrenaline.
He Ao picked up the bag from the ground, smiled, and walked into the storefront.
"You looking to buy something else this time?"
The store boss glanced at He Ao before walking behind the counter, "There’s not much in my shop worth two Talent Sequences."
He Ao approached the counter, placed the bag down and then set his crutch, covered with cracks, on the tabletop, "I’m looking for an ’Ironsmith’ or someone who can craft the respective cold weapon, to help me create a new crutch,"
He then placed the Butterfly Knife on the counter too, and pressed the release on the handle, "The new crutch needs materials of at least C-level and must be compatible with this knife’s release so that the knife can be fixed to the end of the crutch to serve as a bayonet."
"That’s something,"
The underground Doctor glanced at the Butterfly Knife on He Ao’s tabletop, "But this is a pharmacy, not a blacksmith’s shop. Have you got the wrong person?"
"Even the best blacksmith gets sick,"
He Ao looked at him and said calmly, "And only you have the capability to extract the Talent Sequences from these two people."
With his Divine Sense, He Ao’s gaze swept over the underground Doctor’s body, the surge of energy flow transmitted back to his vision.
The first time He Ao had come here, he had discovered that this Doctor was a Transcendent, most likely a C-level one, and he had given He Ao the impression that he was quite similar to Roger—likely a Transcendent of the medical sequence or a related one.
"Why should I help you?"
The Doctor, with the pipe in his mouth, looked at He Ao with interest, "We’ve only met twice now. Last time, you took away an adrenaline shot at the cheapest price from me."
He Ao looked at him and said slowly, "Eternal Night Waits Wasted..."
"Damn, have you lost your mind!"
The doctor’s hand, holding a cigarette, quivered and he directly grabbed onto the cabinet to cover He Ao’s mouth.
He Ao stopped his movements and looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
Only then did the doctor breathe a sigh of relief. He glanced at the small door that had been opened, pressed a button on his bracelet, and let the door close automatically.
After everything was done, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at He Ao somewhat helplessly,
"Where did you hear about this? Don’t you know that speaking carelessly of such things could attract... attention?"
"I’ve read the Life Canon."
He Ao said calmly.
The words he had just uttered were the first half of a prayer of the Life Goddess.
In a moment, the doctor lifted his head, his cloudy pupils contracting instantly, "Are you with the Life Goddess Church?"
"Our relationship is okay."
He Ao replied.
In the strictest sense, he might still be a saint of the Life Goddess Church.
While speaking, he also glanced at the doctor in front of him. He had initially thought that the doctor might be related to the Life Goddess Church.
After all, Roger once mentioned that the ’truth’ of the doctor sequences, aside from the medical conglomerates, could only be found within the Life Goddess Church.
An ordinary underground doctor couldn’t reach the conglomerates, and to advance further and become a Transcendent, the only option was to contact the Life Goddess Church.
Wild Transcendents from the doctor sequences who belonged to neither the conglomerates nor the Life Goddess Church were rare.
Especially once they reached C-level, they became even rarer.
He didn’t expect to meet one here.
But even a completely wild underground doctor who’s a Transcendent usually wouldn’t have hostility towards the Life Goddess Church.
After all, in this profession, it’s unwise to offend the most powerful boss of the industry; you might need their help in the future.
Moreover, the doctrines of the Life Goddess Church, compared to other cults, were quite ’friendly.’ They generally didn’t engage in crazy sacrifices. Just have lots of kids, ten at a time, and the Life Goddess would be happy.
Of course, you shouldn’t go to the Life Goddess without any preparation. Even for boys, there’s a risk of ending up with ten in a single birth.
The Life Goddess Church is very willing to save lives and share knowledge about saving lives; thus, doctors, to some extent, should have received gifts from the Life Goddess Church.
This was also why He Ao clarified his relationship with the Life Goddess Church.
Certainly, reciting the prayer directly was also a way of testing the waters. He saw surprise, not anger or hatred, in the eyes of the doctor in front of him, which led him to expand the conversation.
"Our relationship is okay, and they let you see the Life Canon?"
The doctor’s surprise was evident.
He didn’t know to what extent He Ao’s ’good’ relationship was for him to be allowed to see something that only the core believers could view.
After pondering for a moment, he picked up his pipe and took another puff, "I can help you, including any issues you might have later. I can offer help within my capabilities. However, you need to help me get in touch with the Life Goddess Church and build a bridge between us."
"I can do that, but I’ll only be responsible for making the introduction."
He Ao glanced at him. He hadn’t expected that this person hadn’t had any contact with the Life Goddess Church. Typically, such a situation would only occur with Transcendents who were directly nurtured by a conglomerate, not an underground doctor.
It appears this one has a story too.
"Okay,"
The doctor nodded, looking at the cane scattered with cracks on the table, "I have a mechanic friend who might take on your task, but I need to contact him first. Wait a moment."
"Hmm."
He Ao nodded lightly.
At this moment, the voice of Eve also rang in his ear, "Blood Wolf, who posted the abduction task, has replied."
