Chapter 430: Clues to Voodoo (Two in One)

Bai Xiaowen has already used his insights to see that Jide's strength is elite level 7, which can be said to be the second only to the leader Benny in the entire crow organization. Dust ↙ Fate ↘ Literature? Learning ↘ Network

"But Joshua has already shown his loyalty," Bai Xiaowen said with a hint of interest, "I admit that your ability is better than Joshua... However, what I value more is loyalty, I believe you understand that .”

Jide said loudly: "Please rest assured, my lord, my loyalty will never be inferior to that of Joshua." In order to avoid Bai Xiaowen's misunderstanding, after obtaining Bai Xiaowen's consent, he slowly pulled out the iron ax at his waist and pointed at Ben beside him. Ni's body was chopped down with an axe.

Benny was flogged for the second time, and a skull rolled away.

The other members of the crow organization saw this bloody scene, and everyone was moved. Most people tried their best to suppress their inner fluctuations, and only a few people cast contemptuous glances at Jide.

Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly: "Okay, I approve your loyalty for the time being. You can be the second leader of the crow organization, equal to Joshua." He raised his hand to let two people come over, and took Benny's headless body Spliced ​​together with the head and carried away.

Bai Xiaowen himself has no perverted hobby of flogging corpses. Joshua's bewildered servant stabbed Benny's body, Bai Xiaowen did it on purpose, just to give other people in the crow organization a lead and give them a chance to follow suit.

In particular, Joshua's status is not high. If he climbed onto other people's heads by whipping corpses, how could those members of the elite template organization be reconciled. Therefore, Jide's performance was actually within Bai Xiaowen's expectations.

The internal cohesion of the crow organization is actually relatively weak, and the members' loyalty to the boss is very low. The boss, Benny, has a cold nature. When he saw his subordinate's bald and strong man being shot to death on the spot, he didn't even dare to let out another fart. This kind of boss is destined not to have any hardcore followers.

Seeing that Ji De's surrender was also recognized by Bai Xiaowen, other members of the organization were a little moved. However, after Bai Xiaowen received Jide's allegiance, he had already achieved his basic goal, and immediately ordered the others to leave. Jide and Joshua stayed behind to inquire about the missing persons case and voodoo.

Perhaps because of the presence of Joshua as a competitor by his side, Jide's attitude towards Bai Xiaowen can be described as kneeling and licking, which is obviously different from Benny's before.

"Is the crow organization involved in the missing persons case? Do you know about it?" Bai Xiaowen first asked the main task.

Jide looked terrified and shook his head again and again: "My lord, I dare to guarantee with my life that the crow organization has nothing to do with the missing persons case. Although it is said that the business that the organization takes over is from Boss Benny... no,

That fellow Benny decided, but he didn't dare to get involved in such a large-scale case. Although he wasn't a good guy, he wasn't that courageous either. "

Bai Xiaowen learned from his appearance and knew that what Ji De said was not a lie.

"Then the second question, how much do you know about voodoo?" Bai Xiaowen stared at Jide with scorching eyes, not letting go of his every subtle expression and reaction.

Ji De said honestly: "Voodoo and us have some cooperation."

"What kind of cooperation?"

Ji De: "It is to collect some special materials. As you know, many voodoo rituals require some inexplicable medium, such as the menstrual blood of a virgin, the eyes of a frog, or the venom gland of a cobra..."

Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes: "Where is the voodoo stronghold in Hodge Town?"

Jade shook his head.

"Since there is a cooperative relationship, you don't know their stronghold? How dare you lie to me?" Although Bai Xiaowen judged Jide not lying from his heartbeat, breathing and subtle expressions, he still wanted to put pressure on Jide.

Jide hurriedly complained: "My lord, I really don't know, even Benny doesn't know the secret stronghold of the voodoo religion. Every time there is a transaction, the other party will come to collect the items, and then hand over the new material list to We, let us collect... because the other party has a lot of money, we are happy to make some extra money, anyway, the things to collect are just troublesome, not too difficult..."

"The other party came to the door? Who is it, you should have followed him?" Bai Xiaowen asked.

Jide: "...it's not a human being, but a huge stitched corpse, which is somewhat similar to the corpse you summoned. That's why Joshua saw the corpse of the adult for the first time. When it's strange, call out the name of the voodoo sect..."

After a pause, Jide continued to speak, but he seemed a little guilty: "We saw that the other party was generous, and indeed we had tracked that corpse monster, and wanted to find the other party's address... It's just that the brothers who were sent out that time, all They didn't come back, and the next day they found their bodies hanging at the entrance of Blackwater Lane. Their bodies were covered with maggots and mold spots, and their death conditions were horrible. Since then, Benny... never mentioned the matter of following them. "

Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly, what Jade said should be true.

In the team channel, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi discussed it.

"We came to Heishui Lane, originally looking for the main task, to solve the clues of the missing persons case, but we didn't expect to get clues to the Voodoo Cult." Bai Xiaowen said in the team channel.

Li Shuyi: "Hey, I thought the missing persons case was related to voodoo... Tell me, is there still such a possibility?"

"Basically impossible," Bai Xiaowen said, "According to Jide's description, the secret lair of the Voodoo Cult in Hodge Town should be staffed with a small number of elites, maybe only a few elites, one or two seniors." The leader is even more extreme, and there are only one or two polished commanders. With such a staffing, it is impossible to plan and implement a large-scale kidnapping case without being discovered by the sheriff and the crow organization. .”

Bai Xiaowen deduced the staffing of Voodoo from reverse thinking. If there are a large number of voodoo cults, then the troublesome but not difficult small tasks such as collecting frog eyes and poisonous snake venom glands will not be "outsourced" to the crow organization. In line with the principle of confidentiality, this kind of work Shouldn't it be best done by one's own people, that is, voodoo believers?

After listening to Bai Xiaowen's explanation, Li Shuyi quickly agreed.

"The focus of our next exploration can be transferred to the side missions of the voodoo religion," Bai Xiaowen thought for a while and said, "Although the main mission has the highest status, it has a full ten days, and its difficulty rating is only ordinary A level , I believe it will be completed in the end. And the time limit for the voodoo elite side mission is only 72 hours, since we have got the clue now, let’s do this first.”

Li Shuyi: "But the address of the secret stronghold of the Voodoo Cult is unknown to the people of the Crow Organization. How can I find it?"

Bai Xiaowen smiled, and turned to ask Jide: "The contact between the voodoo people and you is about once every few days?"

Ji De said: "This aspect is not sure, it seems very irregular... When the reminder is urgent, it will come once a day or two, and at the end of the list of materials left by the corpse monster, the additional wording is also very strict. Some threatening words. At other times, it is more relaxed, and it will only come once in ten and a half months."

"When was the last time you came here?"

"Three days ago." Jide answered quickly this time.

"Last time?"

"Four days ago."

"Give me the list of materials that the voodoo ghoul gives every time, especially the note that contains his reminders."

Jide was a little panicked: "We haven't kept things like the list of materials properly... Maybe there are only a few left, all of which are recent."

"Okay, bring some of them here." Bai Xiaowen said lightly. He didn't expect an underground organization to have strict rules and regulations, and to keep good documents and archives.

After a while.

Bai Xiaowen pinched a few lists, and after asking Jide a few words, he pondered slightly.

"There are four lists here, which are the latest four acquisition materials," Bai Xiaowen analyzed in the team channel, "According to the dates Jide recalled, three of them were three days, four days, and six days ago. Seeing it as next to each other, the message at the end of the list is also very impatient, and I can’t wait to pick up the goods on the spot. And the earliest one was half a month ago. So I infer... In a short period of time, the voodoo people Won’t come to pick up the goods again.”

After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said again: "It's a pity. I originally thought that if the voodoo people would come to the door within the next two days, we could follow the corpse and follow the clues."

Bai Xiaowen's analysis was straightforward, but Li Shuyi was at a loss: "How do you know that people from the voodoo sect will not come in a short time?"

"From this irregular pick-up date, it can be inferred that these materials are used for voodoo experiments, rather than normal production - because normal production and manufacturing not only require a stable source of supply, but also show large quantities of materials. The demand for similar goods is not on the list."

Bai Xiaowen paused: "When doing experiments, especially when exploring unknown experiments, experimenters need to verify many of their assumptions. Just like Edison invented the light bulb and tested thousands of materials, voodoo experimenters also have to constantly Change the material. Therefore, from the frequency of the material list, you can see the progress of his experiment."

Li Shuyi understood: "That is to say, the continuous and harshly worded list of materials means that the other party's experiment has encountered a bottleneck, is in the process of research, and is in urgent need of materials. And the list of materials that comes only once in ten and a half months means that a certain part of the experiment This stage has been successful, and the other party has no new experimental ideas."

Bai Xiaowen smiled and nodded: "That's right. Then look at the dates of these four lists. The last three pick-ups were concentrated three days ago, four days ago, and six days ago. The interval is only one or two days. New materials are urgently needed, which means that the experimental However, it has been three days since the last pick-up, and the other party has not come... This should mean that the experiment has achieved a staged success, and the other party is not very urgent about this batch of materials. "

This is the basis for Bai Xiaowen's speculation that people from the voodoo sect will not come to the door in a short period of time. It seems to be speculation, but in fact there is a deep reason.

Of course, this kind of speculation cannot be 100% accurate. If the experimenter's brain twitches and a new inspiration comes to him suddenly, it is not surprising. Bai Xiaowen's speculation is only applicable under normal circumstances, and the possibility is 70% to 80%, but 20% to 30% accidents are not ruled out.

Li Shuyi said a little distressed: "What should we do... If the voodoo cultists don't come, we can only sit on the sidelines. If it exceeds 72 hours, the mission will fail."

Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "So this mission rating is an A-level elite mission."

Li Shuyi pouted, and then laughed again: "I won't bother my poor brain cells. Anyway, you are here... Last time in the world of Kane plane, you can handle all the S-level hero missions. This A-level elite mission must not be a problem."

Bai Xiaowen spread his hands: "Don't say that, the last S-level hero mission was actually mostly luck. If it weren't for Dr. Zombie's slanted zombie research to restrain the undead plague, that mission would be impossible to complete... Even so, The final degree of completion is also very low.”

Of course, once the S-level hero mission is completed, the rewards are also very terrifying. Bai Xiaowen's permanent fief order is a direct reward, and the permanent team-building props Black Front's Oath, as well as the chance to kill the remnant Great Chief Abu Sauron later, get two pieces of dark gold equipment (blood essence stone + dark gold shoulder pads) , can also be regarded as an indirect extended benefit.

After telling the truth, Bai Xiaowen motioned for Jide to leave after a modest sentence, and then carefully studied the list of materials. He had a feeling that there was an invisible thread in these checklists, as long as he grasped that thread, this A-level elite mission was half completed.

After reading it several times, Bai Xiaowen suddenly stood up.

"What's wrong?" Li Shuyi asked.

"I have an idea, I don't know if it's right...but I think it should be very possible," Bai Xiaowen said in a deep voice, "Let Jide restrain the members of the crow organization, strictly control Blackwater Lane, and not allow any members to go out ...you come with me."

Li Shuyi followed closely: "What's the matter, does someone in the Crow Organization know the stronghold of Voodoo?"

"No, no, I'm just in case, to prevent these people from leaking the news," Bai Xiaowen said in a low voice, "I don't have time to explain, come with me...I made a mistake, I should have thought of it earlier."

Li Shuyi pursed her lips, and didn't ask any more questions, so as not to disturb Bai Xiaowen's thoughts.

After instructing Ji De, Bai Xiaowen took Li Shuyi and quickly left Heishui Lane, then quickly turned right, followed the way he came, and set foot on the dilapidated commercial street filled with the smell of sewage.

After walking for a while, Bai Xiaowen stopped at a shop at the corner of the street.

"Huh... It's okay. This is it."

Seeing that the door of the store was still open, Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief, and his frowns relaxed.

On the signboard of the store, there was a line of words: Akeia's cauldron.
