Wang Jue understood.
Among the eight major families, in addition to the eight rulers who have strong strength, there are also some elite masters in the family.
Naturally, these elites are no match for the rulers. In the eyes of the rulers, humans are too weak compared to the forces outside the tower.
Therefore, everyone, including the rulers, have always been accustomed to dealing with forces outside the tower in a low-key manner.
But judging from the words of Qin Ye, the ruler of the Qin family, this incident is even more brutal than ninety years ago.
Humans did not discover "business" but destroyed it, so conversely, this means that humans already have the capital to restrict business partners.
Instead of purging them, they should be lured and recruited. Even if recruitment fails, using the elite of the eight families to form a separate team of rulers to participate in their exploration would be more useful than killing them directly.
"It's an interesting idea. I'll consider it." Wang Jue did not agree directly.
"But you can't tell Lao Qin about this." Xie Yingjie said.
"You trust me so much?"
"I don't believe you. I believe in the thinking of a businessman."
"I didn't expect that you, a taciturn person, could observe things very carefully. But it's useless for you to convince me alone. You have to convince at least two other people."
"After I hang up the phone with you, I will tell the other two families, the Zheng family and the Yan family, and I will say that I will contact them first."
Wang Jue was really surprised. Should we say Xie Yingjie was being honest? Or was he just being foolish
She now had some doubts as to whether Xie Yingjie was really the first person to contact her.
Maybe he also said the same thing to people from the Zheng family or the Yan family.
But Xie Yingjie directly pointed out that he would do this, which made Wang Jue feel strange.
She suddenly felt that this taciturn person who had been engaged in scientific research for seven hundred years might be the smartest one among the eight people.
…
…
After Xie Yingjie hung up the phone, he indeed called Yan Chao, the ruler of the Yan family.
During the phone call, since the Yan family hated their political enemy, the Pang family, the most, Xie Yingjie changed the target of his complaints.
When dealing with Wang Jue, he called Yan Chao a pervert and the ruler of the Zhong family a fat pig.
But when facing Yan Chao, he complained about Wang Jue and the Pang family.
"I just didn't want to discuss it with the Pang family's breeding pig and the Wang family's shrew at the meeting. So as soon as I thought of a feasible strategy, I contacted you. After all, you and I are both engaged in scientific research."
One is biological weapons, the other is mechanical weapons. Although the two are in completely different fields, as academic researchers, they do have some topics to talk about.
Yan Chao quickly accepted Xie Yingjie's suggestion.
So Xie Yingjie called the Zheng family again. The Zheng family hated the Qin family, so he said on the phone:
"The warlord surnamed Qin wants to purge everyone just because his business was delayed. Do you really think this is appropriate? Old Zheng, you have people in the Investigation Corps and the Defense Corps, right? We can do this..."
Zheng You originally had no feelings about cleansing the tower's combat power. In his opinion, these things were unimportant.
But Xie Yingjie's few words provoked him, and he soon recalled how this big warlord had been against him over the years.
So the Zheng family was also persuaded by Xie Yingjie.
This ruler of the Xie family, who has always been low-key, seems to have been researching weapons for the past seven hundred years, but he has also been observing several old rivals.
He then made a series of moves, and persuaded five of the seven families. As for the remaining Qin and Zhong families, he did not talk to them because an exploration team only needed six people.
The most important thing is... Two villains must be left behind to bear the wrath of the forces outside the tower.
That's how business works, when a competitor drops out, the bigger piece of the pie you get.
This is also the reason why Xie Yingjie persuaded the other five companies.
No one really believed that Xie Yingjie's goal was to preserve humanity. This was too absurd in the eyes of other rulers.
The Xie family, Zheng family, Liu family, Yan family, Wang family, and Pang family all have the strongest warrior among the immortal monsters.
For many years, these warriors have been hunting evil in special places, improving their companion power while also enjoying the best resources.
Even in the previous "business" of each family, these top fighters in the family had received favors.
The people of the six major families firmly believed that these people were definitely much stronger than the elite combat forces of the tower.
Xie Yingjie's plan is to form a team with these six people.
A team comparable to the Survey Corps' Suppression Corps' field group or vanguard group.
…
…
The third floor of the tower.
The Zhenyu Army has been very busy recently because the disappearance of three students and one teacher from the Noble Academy has caused a huge social response.
The final clue of the three students pointed to the artist Mr. Xia. As the art teacher of the school, he was also very popular in the aristocratic circle.
People did not find any body in Teacher Xia's home.
I just saw a lot of blood.
This makes people wonder whether Teacher Xia and these students met with an accident? Or is it Teacher Xia who caused these three students to disappear
Nothing is known.
There are more and more cases on the third floor of the tower. First, there was the administrator who committed suicide to point the finger at the ruler, and then the teacher and three students of the Noble Academy disappeared, and the two happened not long after each other.
Even the Zhenyu Corps got the news that the owner of Lilith Restaurant was missing.
So many cases were intertwined that the security department of the Zhenyu Army was extremely busy.
At this time, Mingche really hoped that Baiwu could come to help.
Crime scene.
This is the fourth time that the Zhenyu Army Security Department has come here.
"It seems that there are no clues again. Boss, let's go back. We can't find anything here. We couldn't find any clues in the past few days. How can we find any now?"
The young Zhenyu Army guard looked at the middle-aged chief of the security department who had a helpless look on his face.
The minister's name is Jiang Xuan.
He is thirty-five years old, keen on solving cases, and is well-known in the Zhenyu Army. If Jiang Xuan cannot solve this case, they will have to ask someone else to solve it due to pressure from some nobles.
Jiang Xuan looked at those strange paintings and said:
"The owner of the house should be the murderer."
"But he disappeared... These paintings look very strange. Even I, who don't understand art, feel that they look weird, but this doesn't mean anything."
Jiang Xuan nodded and sighed helplessly: "Let's go and get the people from the Survey Corps to help us."
The boss gave the order to retreat, and several people withdrew.
Only Jiang Xuan still stayed in the house, seemingly intending to continue investigating and find some clues.
This seems normal to everyone.
After all, this superior was passionate about solving cases and used to read files until very late at night, which made him very popular among the captains of each team.
Therefore, Jiang Xuan can consult a lot of information.
But what they didn't know was that Jiang Xuan didn't stay here to solve the case.
His hands stroked the frames of the paintings, and a playful smile gradually formed at the corners of his mouth.
"As the teacher said, death is just the beginning of the next journey. I thought my three children would accompany me, but I didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise."
"It's a pity for these paintings. I don't have the mood to paint them again. After all... I have to start adapting to the new journey."
Let’s go back a few days.
Three students came to Teacher Xia's villa to visit her, and a "patient" who was looking for a new journey set his sights on the students.
At this moment, he had already planned everything.
He started a new journey as a student, joined the Zhenyu Army after graduation, and was promoted to captain by several times leaving the tower or obtaining special intelligence.
All this added up will take less than three years.
For him, who has lived for more than seven hundred years, time has become just a number.
But what he didn't expect was... there was a witness nearby!
So at this moment the origin of the journey changed again.
He didn't need to become a student, then slowly become a rookie, and then slowly be promoted. He directly got a perfect identity - the head of the security department.
Generally speaking, the person who discovers a case is highly suspicious.
But he won't.
The name "Jiang Xuan" represents one of the few justices and moral bottom lines in the Zhenyu Corps.
Who would have thought that Jiang Xuan, who was obsessed with solving the missing art teacher and student case, was the real mastermind behind this case
During the days of solving the case, Jiang Xuan also used the convenience of his identity to find out many interesting things.
The people from the Zhenyu Army and the Investigation Corps came back alive from the military exercises between the two armies, which made him look at Gu Qingyu with new eyes.
But what really concerned him was that there seemed to be a container in the Survey Corps that was worth "capturing" - a new recruit named Bai Wu.
In his original plan, after kidnapping Yan Jiu, he planned to give Gu Qingyu the first impression with a crazy attitude.
Then he approached him in another identity that Gu Qingyu would never expect.
A man who had fought against "Cain" with him, a partner with a sense of justice, a good mind, and who was trustworthy.
When he discovered the white mist, he felt that it was a container tailor-made for him.
Jiang Xuan did not stay at the crime scene for too long. After looking at his old paintings as a farewell ceremony, he returned to the Third Division of the Zhenyu Army.
As a person with outstanding case-handling ability, Mingche would usually try to bring such people under his command.
But Jiang Xuan did not go back to report the progress of the case to Ming Che.
Mingyu Manor.
In Mingche's office, after Jiang Xuan finished reporting the case, he said something that puzzled Mingche:
"Go to the Survey Corps to study?"
"Yes, as far as I know, the two armies have quotas for mutual study abroad."
"Yes, there are, but since the commander made this rule, it has not been implemented. On the contrary, the members of the Survey Corps are eager to come to our place to study because it is comfortable. But I have never seen anyone take the initiative to transfer to the Survey Corps to study. The study period is three months, and you have to live with the lower class people during these three months."
Mingche couldn't understand why Jiang Xuan gave him a feeling these days that he seemed a little different from before.
But he couldn't tell what was different. Now Jiang Xuan wanted to be transferred to the Investigation Corps to study, which made him even more confused. Not to mention that no one was willing to go, even those who went were all young people.
Why would a thirty-five-year-old join in the fun
He intended to make Jiang Xuan give up:
"I must tell you one thing. There are no places for students in the interrogation department of the Investigation Corps right now. Since the Hundred Cases and the Yan Family disappearance case, the funding for the interrogation department of the Investigation Corps has increased a lot. If you want to study there, you have to wait in line."
After a pause, Mingche said:
"Unless you join the vanguard of the Survey Corps, you'll be putting your head on your waist."
I thought Jiang Xuan, as a civilized person, knew how dangerous the Vanguard Group was, and that it was a place where a bunch of barbarians risked their lives for food. He would retreat on his own when he heard the word "Vanguard Group".
But Mingche miscalculated. Jiang Xuan raised his head and said excitedly:
"Okay, I just want to go to the vanguard group, and ask Team Ming to give me a chance."
Mingche was dumbfounded. Was Jiang Xuan possessed
Is there really someone who would give up a job in the security department that is favored by the nobles and run outside the tower to live on the edge of a knife
Mingche planned to continue persuading Jiang Xuan, but Jiang Xuan seemed like a different person and refused to listen.
After talking for a long time without any results, Mingche was furious:
"Okay, I have to tell you, if you're gone for less than three months, you're not allowed to come back. Don't beg to come back when the time comes!"
Jiang Xuan was not scared. For him, three months was enough time to start a new journey.
…
…
Two days later, on the second floor of the tower.
All sixteen teams of the Survey Corps gathered at the branch. The clerical staff worked for many days and finally organized a cocktail party.
Wine is a rare commodity in the tower. This liquid, brewed from edible plants that only exist outside the tower, can only be found outside the tower.
The Survey Corps didn't have much wine in their collection. To many Survey Corps members who were born in the lower classes, wine was something they had only heard of but never seen.
But today, they still took out all the wine they had stored and let the team members drink together.
Because today is the day when Gu Qingyu, the strongest man in the Survey Corps, is promoted to deputy commander of the Survey Corps.
Also, today is the day when the Survey Corps' Thirteenth and Seventh Divisions welcome new captains.
The entire Survey Corps had gathered together. Today they had no field work outside the tower, so all they had to do was drink together.
Listening to the captain's speech just now, Bai Wu suddenly felt a little dazed.
"Shorty... I don't belong to Team 7 anymore. It's strange. I feel empty inside."
From childhood to adulthood, in addition to his perverted father, his incomplete emotions and distorted experiences made his emotions and even his thinking circuits different from others.
But at this moment, looking at Lin Wurou, Wang Shi, Xiao Yi, Yin Shuang and others, who looked both happy and sad, Bai Wu was slightly confused.
He suddenly thought, if it was himself who answered the call instead of Yin Shuang, would everything be different
Perhaps I wouldn't be like I am now, with my emotions out of tune with everyone's joy.
Bai Wu didn't know what he was feeling at this moment, it was just called reluctance.
Reason told him that the captain would still often go out of the tower with him and his group, and he knew in his heart that being promoted to deputy legion leader would actually be a good thing for everyone and for Shorty.
He knew everything, so he should be happy at this moment.
He smiled at himself and suddenly felt that he was really a freak.
The cocktail party was lively. Although the Survey Corps was a refugee army, with the arrangement of Liu Chengzi, Yin Shuang, Ruan Qingyun and other women, the cocktail party felt a bit like the large-scale social evening parties in Bai Wu's previous life.
The lights are charming, and there is popular music that suits the aesthetic taste of the people in the tower.
Bai Wu was leaning in an inconspicuous corner, quietly waiting for the cocktail party to end.
Just now, he, the new captain of Team 13, and Team 59 had all given a speech in front of everyone that was worthy of applause.
Bai Wu is actually very good at these things. In a sense, he is a better fraudster than Cain.
He could also liven up the atmosphere and make the party more interesting, but Bai Wu didn't do that and just stayed alone.
Just when he thought he could just kill time like this, a group of people suddenly walked towards him.
Yin Shuang, Lin Wurou, Wang Shi, Shang Xiaoyi, Liu Chengzi, Ye Weiming, Tian Xun, Yun Shu, Xue Ci, Jing Chu, Bai Xiaoyu and Qin Lin all approached him.
The reluctance and disappointment that they had when Shorty was speaking just now were no longer on everyone's faces. They came with their glasses raised, obviously wanting to express their blessings to Bai Wu.
This surprised Bai Wu a little, but actually he was not surprised, because everyone's behavior was in line with his expectations. Perhaps he was just surprised by the changes in his heart.
"Congratulations, but don't be too proud. I don't admit in my heart that you are the captain." Although Lin Wu Rou said this, she looked very happy when she clinked glasses.
He looks like a woman and looks quite nice when he smiles.
"I believe that under your leadership, Team Seven will still be the strongest among all the teams." Yin Shuang was very honest.
Next is Wang Shi:
"Don't listen to Wu Rou's nonsense. He admires you in his heart, and I admire you too! You are the captain, and we are not very smart, but we are willing to charge into battle for you at any time!"
"Wang Shi, could you please not represent me so casually!" Lin Wu Rou said angrily.
"Congratulations! Hey... I'm also the youngest in the team, so I'm not as good as you, Captain Bai. Please give me more guidance in the future." Shang Xiaoyi has always been shy.
Liu Chengzi was the happiest. Her No. 2 supporter became the deputy commander of the corps, and her No. 1 supporter was promoted to captain. As a happy little green tea who gets stronger when a man is stronger, Liu Chengzi's joy has a utilitarian side, but it is more sincere:
"Little brother, I was really lucky. I fell in love with you at first sight."
Bai Xiaoyu was also very happy. He didn't say anything, but he was just proud that he could follow someone like Bai Wu.
Qin Lin is the same. Compared with his previous job as a mercenary, he prefers his current identity. If you can happily follow justice, who would want to be exposed to evil
Next came Tian Xun, Jing Chu, Xue Ci and Yun Shu, who always believed that Bai Wu belonged to the interrogation team. They also expressed their sincere blessings. After all, as the team leader, Bai Wu had more reason to help handle the case.
"You are young and promising! Captain Bai, you have to help the interrogation team in the future." Tian Xun finished his glass of wine with a smile.
Bai Wu actually didn't drink much in his previous life.
Because it would affect his judgment, but these guys came over one by one with cups in their hands, and he found that he couldn't refuse.
Seeing everyone happy, he also smiled without even realizing it.
It turns out that there are people who like freaks. Maybe this world is inherently absurd, or maybe I am not as unsociable as I imagined
The last person who came to congratulate was Wujiu, who was already a little drunk, but still had a serious face, as if Baiwu owed him money.
"Bai Wu, we have to work together from now on. I'll leave Team 7 to you. Although you've only been here for more than two months, everyone in Team 7 is convinced by your performance. You have to protect them well."
"I will also protect the captain." As soon as Bai Wu said this, he felt that it was a little unlike himself.
Wujiu really wanted to say that he didn't need protection, but perhaps it was the effect of alcohol, Bai Wu seemed to reveal a little expression on his face that was difficult to see.
This kind of white fog seemed somewhat out of tune with the emotions of the people around it, yet it also had a strange sincerity.
He didn't say anything, but clinked glasses with Bai Wu. They both drank it all in tacit understanding, and then Wujiu patted Bai Wu on the shoulder.
This action implies trust and recognition for his subordinates, but considering the height difference between the two, Wujiu's action looks more like raising his hand to pat something.
Bai Wu laughed again, and as he laughed, Wujiu inexplicably stopped being serious and smiled.
At the end of the long summer, the Survey Corps welcomed its youngest deputy commander, and the Survey Corps' Seventh Team also welcomed its youngest captain.
