Chapter 371 Grey Swan Safety Insurance Company

Jiu'er took a deep breath.

She wiped the blood-stained axe on the corpse that was cut in two, and murmured a little lonely:

"Why did Annan not come to see me when he arrived in the capital...

"Could it be that the plot hasn't started yet? Do you have to wait for Miss Coffee to arrive in the capital?"

"...Miss Jiu'er?"

Behind her, two well-dressed and strong men bowed carefully and asked, "What did you just say?"

"No, nothing."

Jiu'er replied lazily, "If you ask again, you will be hacked to death."

Hearing this, the two men who were clearly more than two heads taller than Jiu'er suddenly fell silent like a chill.

She is already familiar with the royal capital.

In the past two days, she successfully found a good job——

At first, Jiu'er was like in RPG games, and went to the tavern to order a glass of milk, hoping to see if he could get some information.

As a result, the intelligence did not find out, but it caused a show.

When a group of people saw Jiu Er alone in the tavern, they wanted to ask her if she wanted to work in some underground industry...

But after they got close, before they could say a word, they saw Jiu'er impatiently standing up with a stainless steel axe that was a bit taller than himself... So they immediately persuaded.

Fortunately, the leader is very witty.

In the capital, the existence of the extraordinary is not as secretive as a small place.

At least the practitioners and stakeholders in these gray industries must know something.

This is also the capital of Noah's Kingdom...a large city with a permanent population of more than four million. The palace alone covers an area of ​​more than 100,000 square meters, and the area of ​​one subdivision alone exceeds the entire territory of Roseburg.

The gold-rank superhumans who are resident here are already close to double digits. There are countless extraordinary people in the silver and bronze ranks, and even the silver jazz sometimes walks and hangs on the street.

If you don't know your position,

In case of encountering a hostile supernatural being, I am afraid that you will not even know how to die - after all, supernatural beings have all kinds of strange spells and personal abilities, and their soul rank is not determined by direct combat power and rituals. , it's not surprising that the Bronze rank superman can beat the silver rank.

Moreover, ordinary people cannot fully understand the mechanism of "nightmare" and "curse", and can only keep a distance from these powers that they cannot control.

After all, it is not particularly easy to become an extraordinary person.

It still depends on talent.

It is not an easy task just to become a proficient in one's own path, fully understanding and proficient in one's basic occupation (level 10). Even if you want to get training in ordinary occupations, it is not something that ordinary people can do.

Whether it is exercising the body, practicing swordsmanship hard, or accepting the brutal training of stalkers to develop awareness of poisons and traps; or finding one's own beast companion, and living with it for a long time and intimately, cultivate enough Resonating spirituality...all require talent, resources, and long-term effort.

And by the time they reach the end of the road, make sure they're not too old. At least you must ensure that your thinking is still sharp enough, as well as have enough spirituality, intelligence and luck, so that you can maintain a clear mind in the dream, successfully complete the decryption and purify the nightmare.

This is actually very difficult.

Nightmare is just a more difficult puzzle game for anyone with extraordinary powers.

But ordinary people cannot stay awake in nightmares. For them, it's a real, illogical nightmare. If there are no extraordinary people to arrange rituals to force them to stay awake in their dreams, they can only rely on personal talent... and luck.

If you are at the end of your career, even if you try your luck to solve a nightmare, it is enough to embark on the path of transcendence.

Talents, resources, abilities, connections, luck—all are indispensable.

In order to effectively control the number of extraordinary people, so as to reduce the pollution of the surrounding living environment caused by nightmares that appear after the death of extraordinary people... It is very difficult for ordinary people to access the extraordinary road through official channels.

As the wizards say - they must first consider their personal talents, at least they can't be easily killed by ordinary people; then they must consider their temperament and morality, and make sure that they will not go into crooked ways, nor use extraordinary power to "too bad." Excessive" for personal gain.

Objectively speaking, this is definitely a good thing.

Whether it is based on the safety of ordinary people, or to control the density of nightmares in large population cities, it is a necessary move.

But on the other hand, this strategy also makes ordinary people farther and farther away from the supernatural world-almost completely blocking their access to the supernatural world.

Ordinary people cannot judge the specific source of curses and nightmares without a deep understanding of the supernatural.

For them, "killing superhumans" or even "approaching superhumans or their corpses" may lead to curses and nightmares.

Even many ordinary people can't tell the difference between the extraordinary and the ritualist-they even suspect that if they anger the extraordinary, they will be cursed and killed by the extraordinary.

So under the deterrent force caused by this monopoly of knowledge, those gangsters who realized that Jiu'er was from an extraordinary person did not even test Jiu'er's strength, so they immediately offered her a very high salary and hired her to serve thugs.

Of course... Although he is a thug, the status of Jiu'er is still very high.

Now Jiu'er is wearing a gray high-neck trench coat and black boots. He also had his professional nameplate pinned to his chest, which read "Ji'er, Special Technical Consultant of Grey Swan Safety Insurance Company", and the company address "No. 117 Qiandai Street, St. Bernie District, Noah" below.

"Grey Swan" is responsible for the underground boxing arenas, casinos and nightclubs in the entire St. Bernie district. These industries belonged to the slave god of the Silver Sir, who was occasionally dubbed the "God of Protection Fees" and the God of Extortion and Promise-Keeping "The Protector".

In other words, in Santa Noah - whether you're a bustard or a drug dealer, a killer or a thief, you have to pay your taxes honestly.

Yes, even thieves' theft income, and killer's mission income, must be reported and taxed. Otherwise, the silver knights of the Silver Lord Church will come directly to the door.

In Noah, "tax resistance" carries a maximum penalty of death.

Not by the kingdom, but by the Church of Silver Lord.

But on the other hand, as long as full taxes are paid and even donated money for welfare, even a gray industry can become a regular company.

Of course, the question of whether this company's business is legal, and how many criminals there are in it, is not under the control of the Silver Jubilee Church... but the police station and the Attorney General's Office.

"Special advisors" like Jiu'er are basically not used for hard work. After all, in essence, it's not about recruiting them, it's about keeping them from turning against themselves.

To recruit an extraordinary person is not a price they can afford.

And the price is too low.

After all, they are a regular and legal company. If there is an extraordinary person to make trouble, they can directly report it to the Church of the Silver Jubilee.

What Jiu'er is responsible for is just "dealing with the people who are doing the trouble".

There are no transcendent enemies, not even swarms.

The most difficult enemy she had ever seen was a drunkard with a pistol.

She didn't even have access to an axe—she charged forward, punched her in the waist, slapped her face, and the fight was over.

The enemy she just hacked to death was a veteran stalker of a rival gang. The man used a trap to kill three of Grey Swan's men, including a small leader. So they sent Jiu'er for "brutal revenge".

As for the scapegoat, it will also be prepared by the company.

What Jiu'er is responsible for is only "killing enough to be deterrent".

And she liked it.

It's not much, but it's a lot of experience...
