"So I have to call you to use a gun? What if there's no signal?"

“You have a satellite phone, so you have a signal everywhere. Besides, do you think the cell phones we use are just ordinary cell phones? They are satellite phones too, just with more features.”

Ye Zi continued to ask:

"Since it has more features, there's no need to use two phones, right?"

"It has more features, but the battery life is not enough, so I need two, just in case."

Ye Zi gave him a look that said, "Are you kidding me?" Wang Baozhang could only reply:

"Alright, that satellite phone was just to make it easier for you to contact your family when you were abroad. At that time, you hadn't decided to join yet, so we didn't give you an internal cell phone."

You can keep that satellite phone or return it to me; it's up to you.

Ye Zi could accept this explanation; otherwise, having two phones would be completely unnecessary.

However, Ye Zi didn't return the satellite phone to Wang Baozhang. It was better to be safe than sorry, since he wouldn't have to pay for it anyway.

As they walked, Wang Baozhang continued to ask questions:

"Was this place dug out specifically for us? It's so big."

"Not entirely. This place was originally an ancient tomb, but it was emptied by tomb raiders. Fortunately, the place was big enough. After the Ghost Gate was established, the location was set here, and then it was expanded."

"It didn't just happen once; it expanded several times over, covering an area of ​​about three kilometers in radius."

"It was first an ancient tomb, then it became an underground shelter when relations with the Russians became tense, and finally it became our base, which was expanded twice."

After walking for a while, Wang Baozhang pushed open a door and said:

"The reason we asked you to come and report for duty today is that most of the staff were away for a while, but they've all come back today, so we wanted you to come and get acquainted with them."

Ye Zi nodded and followed him inside.

Once inside, the environment was completely different from when we were choosing equipment. The previous place was like a military camp, while this place was a bar.

There are seven or eight booths, roughly the same number of individual tables, a bar, and a few private rooms.

However, the private rooms are not for singing and dancing, but rather training rooms, shooting ranges, rest rooms, and weapons rooms.

After the two entered, everyone present looked over; there were only thirteen people in total.

"Please introduce yourself," Wang Baozhang suggested.

Ye Zi waved her hand and shouted:

"I am Ye Zi, just entered. I am a power type, and my weapon is a pair of maces." He patted the maces at his lower back as he spoke.

Everyone nodded and then went about their own business.

Wang Baozhang led Ye Zi to the bar and sat her down. Ye Zi said:

"It seems like people aren't very willing to communicate."

"They don't trust you," the bartender said, pushing two bottles of beer over.

"This is Sister Meng," Wang Baozhang said, picking up a bottle of beer.

"Sister Meng," Ye Zi greeted her, then looked her over.

"Host, wake up."

Ye Zi suddenly felt a needle prick in her brain, and then heard the system's voice.

"What an expert! He broke free after only being hypnotized for a second," Sister Meng praised.

At this point, Wang Baozhang continued his introduction:

"Sister Meng is a master hypnotist. You can usually hypnotize someone if you stare at her for more than five seconds. She is also good at interrogating people. You are the second person who was not hypnotized."

"The 'Meng' in 'dreaming' doesn't have the surname Meng," Ye Zi asked, shaking her head.

Sister Meng nodded.

Then Ye Zi turned to look at Wang Baozhang and said:

"You just wanted to see me make a fool of myself, and also to get Sister Meng to ask me something, right?"

Wang Baozhang shrugged noncommittally.

Ye Zi rolled her eyes, then continued to ask:

Who was the first person who wasn't hypnotized?

"He's a nobody. I forgot about him the moment I picked up my notebook," Sister Meng said, waving the notebook in her hand.

Ye Zi glanced at the notebook in Meng Jie's hand and smiled:

"This isn't a notebook, it's a handle against me."

Sister Meng smiled smugly, then turned and left.

Wang Baozhang pointed in a direction with his chin, and Ye Zi looked over immediately. Two men and a woman were sitting in a booth.

"The woman's name is Gao Yutong. She is naturally close to animals and can understand what they say."

The one with long hair is named Liu Huinan. She comes from Maoshan and is a fortune teller who handles paranormal events.

The remaining one is quite special; it has eyes that can see a thousand miles, ears that can hear the wind, and a nose more sensitive than a dog's.

"What's his name?"

"Little Bear".

Ye Zi raised an eyebrow. The man had such a name.

Wang Baozhang pointed in another direction, where two young men were sitting in a booth, one smoking and the other drinking.

"The one drinking is called Wu Yan, and the one smoking is called Wu Jiu. They are twins, successors of the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Blade, and can unleash blade energy."

"Blade energy? That's a bit fantastical," Ye Zi said in surprise.

"How can someone join the Gates of Hell without being a fantasy character? But even they couldn't explain why they could unleash sword energy, yet they just could do it," Wang Baozhang said enviously.

Then they changed direction and saw three muscular men resting in a booth.

"The one drinking water is called Yang Dali, whose strength is just over the threshold. The one sitting is called Chen Qifeng, who also weighs 1,000 jin. The one lying down is called Zhang Mingming, who has the strength of 1,400 jin."

The three of them spend most of their free time training in the gym, and judging by their current appearance, they probably haven't been out for very long.

Then he pointed to a young man sitting at a table and said:

"Yu Deshui is the kind of person who can move freely underwater without needing to breathe, and whose skin can absorb oxygen underwater."

Then he pointed to another young man and said:

"Guo Yanqing runs incredibly fast, his 100-meter speed is 4.2 seconds, and he can run at that speed for half an hour."

Ye Zi was surprised; if he ran at that speed for half an hour, he would have covered dozens of kilometers.

Wang Baozhang pointed at another person and said:

"Tu Fu, a former slaughterhouse worker, slaughtered so many animals that it affected his mind. He almost turned on his family with a knife. If his newborn daughter hadn't been frightened and cried, he probably would have..."

It can freely unleash an aura that drives people to madness and carnage; anyone enveloped in it, if their will falters, will turn on anyone around them.

Having said that, Wang Baozhang seemed to have completed his task and continued drinking his beer.

Ye Zi did the math: the people Wang Baozhang introduced, plus Sister Meng, made twelve people, one short of the thirteen the system had told him about.

None of the people here are kind-hearted. The system sensed the murderous aura inside when it was at the door, so it told Ye Zi the results of its investigation.

Ye Zi looked around and didn't see the thirteenth person besides himself and Wang Baozhang. It wasn't hard to guess who the thirteenth person was: a nobody.

He immediately asked in his mind:

"System, where is the last person?"

The system immediately provided the location, and Ye Zi suddenly turned his head because the person was less than ten meters away from him.

Then Ye Zi looked at the unremarkable middle-aged man and said:

"So this must be the legendary nobody."

The middle-aged man raised his eyes, which were fixed on the empty wine glass, and smiled with delight:

"I didn't expect you to notice me."
