"What's wrong?"
Ji Lan saw Ka Xiu staring at her in a trance, and immediately frowned and asked in confusion.
Kaxiu shook his head slightly, lowering his eyelids, hiding the greed that was bursting out of his eyes under the deep blue-black pool.
"Nothing, I'm just happy that I can finally solve this mental problem. It's also a coincidence that the door fragment I got is a soul fragment, which can effectively eliminate the side effects of secret weapons. I'm quite lucky." He talked freely, his tone slightly fluctuating: "If I got a physical fragment or a spirit fragment, I really don't know what to do."
"Yes, when I got the fragment of the gate a few months ago, I was also praying, it must be the fragment of the physical body. I can only say that if you keep thinking about it, there will be a response. God still cares about you and me..."
A rare smile appeared on Ji Lan's gloomy face.
Kaxiu also laughed along with Jilan.
Suddenly, the air around was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Jilan felt that the core member code-named Peacock could develop into a friend and was someone worth making close friends with.
Kaxiu's eyes flickered, and he thought Jilan had a very good vision.
You are really good at judging people!
So, the two chatted for a while and finally decided to go to Jilan's temporary residence to continue the discussion.
The house was not far from the abandoned church. It was a small, remote hotel that did not look very formal.
Because the Gate Organization was listed as the most dangerous "S" level organization by the Red Lebanese Federation's black agency, and all members were wanted. Ji Lan had appeared before, and was officially recorded and was also on the wanted list. So, it is better to keep a low profile.
Hotel, second floor, the room at the far side.
In the somewhat shabby space, the light is dim and the quality of light does not seem to be very good. The light shines on the ground and the surrounding walls, giving them a yellowish frosted feel that makes people feel a little dazed.
Next to the only brown carpet, on the wooden table.
Two almost identical maps were placed there.
Kaxiu and Jilan each moved a stool and sat on opposite sides, studying the paper materials under the light.
In fact, Kaxiu had some more detailed information in his arms, but he didn't take it out. The population density distribution map of Beiliu County cities that the Blood Spirit Society gave to Jilan was not the latest version, but a copy from five years ago. Although they have always been on good terms with the Gate Organization, the Dead Bloods also have their own will and ideas.
Beiliu County has always been the base of the Blood Spirit Society.
Although I don't know what the core members of the sect are going to do here, it's always a good idea to keep some things in reserve. After all, this is the territory of the Blood Spirit Society, so it's good enough to give it to you.
And Kaxiu, after wiping out the branch of the Blood Spirit Society in one fell swoop.
I got the latest version of the densely populated distribution map of Beiliu County, and there are quite a few changes. After all, the past ten years have been an era of rapid development, especially in the six eastern counties, where coastal trade is developed and the economy is booming. The population continues to pour in.
Some changes in the density of urban residential areas are happening with each passing day.
The map that Jilan had was actually out of date.
In the room, next to the table, under the dim light.
Jilan drew circles on the map with a pencil, and occasionally used an eraser to make corrections, like a high school student doing his homework seriously.
While he was checking for loopholes and filling in the gaps, he was thinking about how to win over Kaxiu. Finally, Ji Lan came up with a solution.
He suddenly stopped writing and turned the map to the page of Beiliu City. There was a circled area with a black dot in the center, which was where he would stand.
He pushed his hand forward and placed the map in front of Kaxiu.
Kaxiu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Jilan in confusion.
"According to my calculations over the past two or three days, the area with the highest population density in the entire Beiliu County is Beiliu City. It is a bustling night market with a large number of people every night..."
"If we hold the opening ceremony there, it will be able to cover hundreds of thousands of people in an instant. It can be said to be the best location..."
Ji Lan pointed at the map with his pale finger: "On July 30th, I plan to open the door at this location."
Kaxiu was stunned for a moment and replied: "Why did you tell me the location of your opening ceremony?" There was a hint of confusion in his tone.
"Normally, we two Gate Fragment owners should avoid each other to prevent interference. But you have a soul fragment, and I have a physical fragment. Also, I'm number 30, and you're number 31. It won't be a big problem, and we can do it in the same area."
Jilan smiled: "I have already measured other places with high population density in Beiliu County, and they are an order of magnitude lower than the area of Beiliu City. Even if my opening ceremony on the 30th has some impact on the next one, the effect of the next opening ceremony will be much better than other places. If you don't mind, you can come with me..."
His words were clearly an invitation to Kaxiu. In a sense, it was even an active show of goodwill.
"oh?"
Kaxiu's eyes lit up and his expression gradually became calm.
"Thank you very much."
His words were brief but powerful, and he was the kind of sincere person who would remember the help of others.
Jilan turned his right hand and changed the direction of the map.
"You should also take a closer look..."
Kaxiu glanced at him and suddenly reached his hand into his arms.
"Jilan, actually the map of the densely populated cities in Beiliu County that you have in your hand is from five years ago. Take a look at this one..."
He had a stack of paper documents in his hand and threw them across.
Ji Lan raised her eyebrows, with a look of surprise on her face. She reached out to take it, and quickly flipped through the pages from beginning to end.
"It's different indeed... Is this... updated?"
In the latest paper version, some sparsely populated and economically underdeveloped urban areas naturally did not change much. However, several economically advanced cities changed a lot. Beiliu City, in particular, was more prosperous than it was five years ago.
Some buildings have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, the blocks have been redivided, and the night market area has become larger.
I'm afraid I need to make some adjustments to the center position I calculated before. Obviously, according to the current dense population distribution in Beiliu City, it is no longer the best option.
When Ji Lan thought of this, she immediately thought of the Blood Spirit Society.
"Damn, these bastards! They actually hid the intelligence and didn't give me the latest information. Are they on guard against our organization? Interesting, really interesting!" Jilan immediately got angry, and the scene from two days ago flashed through her mind. Adam, the vice president of the Blood Spirit Society, dressed in a suit and tie, sat upright with an elegant temperament. He vowed that the information he gave Jilan must be the most complete, comprehensive and latest, and he would never cheat anyone.
What a bullshit about being honest and trustworthy! You are just fooling yourself!
If Kaxiu hadn't taken it out now, Jilan would still be kept in the dark. He would probably be complacent from beginning to end, satisfied with the best position he had found after two days of careful calculation.
Still, Kaxiu is a very down-to-earth person.
As soon as Jilan gave him a peach, he returned the favor with a plum.
Obviously, Kaxiu must have paid a price to the Blood Spirit Society, exchanging benefits for real information. As for why he kept it a secret at the beginning and didn't reveal it, Ji Lan could understand it. After all, it's impossible for two strangers to open up to each other as soon as they meet.
Didn't he not mention the specific side effects of the technique at the beginning? He just mentioned it vaguely.
Now, he took the lead in showing goodwill and showed the results of two or three days of hard research. Kaxiu only presented the real information at this time, which was more logical and sincere. Jilan felt that this core member was a good person and was indeed worth winning over.
He hesitated for a moment, then looked towards Kaxiu, only to meet Kaxiu's gaze. The two of them stared at each other.
"It seems that the Blood Spirit Society has something on my mind."
"Peacock, I'm afraid you paid a certain price to get this latest map of Beiliu County's population density distribution."
"Now you can show it to me for free."
“All I can say is, thank you very much…”
There was a hint of appreciation in Ji Lan's eyes, and then he lowered his head and quickly studied the latest information.
On the opposite side, Kaxiu touched his chin, which had some stubble.
He thought about it for a while, and it seemed that he didn't have to pay any price. He just rushed in and killed all the way in. As he rushed in, all the enemies were killed, and as he killed, all the problems were solved. The so-called latest intelligence was just a by-product.
The only thing that could be said to be a loss was that when I used the Roaring Sound Gun to stab someone, the force accidentally shattered my sleeve. So I had to change into a windbreaker afterwards.
However, for him, clothes are consumables. When he really enters the battle state, he feels unhappy if he doesn't get a piece of clothes. It's as if the whole process is not complete.
Five minutes later, Ji Lan slapped the table.
A handprint of neither deep nor shallow was left behind.
"The Blood Spirit Society has done a lot of harm to people. Beiliu City has changed a lot in the past five years. If we really perform the door-pushing ceremony according to the old version of the population density distribution map, I'm afraid we will lose a quarter of our money!"
He placed the map in front of Kaxiu and pointed at it.
"Look, this is East District's Fannia Avenue, this is East District's Reso Main Road, and this is South District's Night Market. Five years ago, Fannia Avenue was the best location, but now the population density of Reso Main Road and South District's Night Market has surpassed it..."
“The best location right now is the South District Night Market.”
Jilan drew a circle with the pencil in her hand, covering a part of the map. Then she pressed it slightly and pointed out a small black dot: "Beni Avenue, at the intersection of Xiangzhang Street."
"It's probably here..."
He simply judged a position based on his previous experience.
Afterwards, he sat back in his seat with a serious look in his eyes.
"The Blood Spirit Society is a bunch of bastards. They rely on their status as local tyrants to deceive me like this. I'm going to ask for an explanation tonight!"
Jilan's face was grim, and her breath was like a poisonous snake. Her two arms naturally exuded the breath of extinction.
If he was deceived under normal circumstances, he would not be so angry. The main reason was that Ji Lan's life was coming to an end, and he urgently needed physical fragments to open the door to continue his vitality. The more vitality the better. Because he didn't know when the next opportunity to open the door would be.
If the time interval between the two door openings was too long, he would probably die early due to exhaustion of his lifespan. Therefore, it was very important for Ji Lan to have a little more vitality in this door opening ceremony. Otherwise, he would not have tried his best to calculate for two or three days.
Therefore, the Blood Spirit would deceive him at this critical juncture.
Thorn Orchid was quite angry.
"Haha, it seems that they want to see the power of the Black Demon's Hand. From the characteristics, my evil secret martial arts can restrain these immortal things..."
His eyes became deep and he was eager to try.
"Jilan, are you going to settle accounts with the Blood Spirit Society? You are a step too late. They have already dealt with their opponents and left..."
Seeing that something was not right, Kaxiu spoke up immediately.
Are you kidding? I wiped out the Blood Spirit Society two days ago, and Adam, the vice president of the Blood Spirit Society, was also killed by me. What can you see if you go there? Are you going to dig out other people's ashes and drink them as milk powder to vent your anger? You should just go through the opening ceremony honestly.
"Have they evacuated?"
"Didn't Adam just wake up and come back?"
Ji Lan clicked her tongue, feeling rather unhappy.
Yes, we evacuated and went to heaven...
Adam did wake up, but he was killed right after he woke up. He died twice in a row at the hands of Kaxiu, giving away two waves of experience.
Kaxiu was looking forward to it, not knowing whether he would meet him again in the future. He decided to call the Adam in the last time he went back to the past Adam I, and the Adam he just killed in the real world Adam II. And so on, the Adam he met in each time he went back to the past would be called the third, fourth, fifth, etc.
This is to commemorate Kaxiu and his touching fate.
Kaxiu thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.
"Don't worry about the Blood Spirit Society for now. The opening ceremony is more important. Anyway, the latest version of the intelligence has been obtained, so let's study it first. You can settle the score with them after the opening ceremony..."
He said to Ji Lan to comfort her.
"Hmph, that's a bargain for them. You're right, there's no need to rush. I'll go find them after the opening ceremony!"
Ji Lan took a deep breath, and his murderous intent gradually subsided.
Kaxiu smiled. Yes, after the opening ceremony.
Just go down and settle the score with them... Ji Lan.
"I'll help you then!"
Under the light, Kasu spoke righteously.
“Thank you, brother!”
Jilan stood up and patted Kaxiu's shoulder vigorously.
He was right about the person. They had only known each other for a few hours, but Kashu was able to fight alongside him.
This man is worth making friends with!
Sitting on the chair, Kaxiu felt the force on his shoulders and his eyelids drooped. If it weren't for the fact that there was a high probability of failure when plundering other people's door fragments under normal circumstances, he would have killed Ji Lan on the spot. According to the information obtained from previous indirect investigations, once the door fragments become owned from being ownerless, it is very difficult to plunder.
The best case scenario is when the owner performs a door-opening ritual.
The fragments of the door resonate with the world and gradually appear.
If the owner is killed at this time, the fragment of the door can be 100% looted. Then, Kaxiu can push open the door that originally belonged to Jilan and enjoy the coveted fruit.
Inexplicably, it seemed to add a touch of interest.
