When I opened it, I saw a map of Canglan City. On this map, there were dozens of areas marked with red circles.

"so much……"

Qin Jinnian's brows suddenly frowned.

But after a moment, he could only let out a sigh, his eyes flickering as he prepared for what was to come.

The implications are beyond description, and the matter is obviously serious.

But what he didn't understand was... what did the indescribable have to do with Lan Rouhua? And what did Jiang Yetong find that made him send Lan Rouhua away? After all, he didn't find anything on this weak woman.

After thinking for a while, Qin Jinnian turned off his phone, pulled out the SIM card, looked up at the sky, and saw that it was already dark. He spread his wings and flew towards his home...

"The signal is gone."

A helpless voice was heard at the Night Watch headquarters.

Jiang Yetong frowned and sighed after a moment.

Zhang San is really cautious! There is no other way but to wait for news.

"What about the ruins?"

Lin Xiaoqi heard the entire conversation between the two and asked Jiang Yetong.

Jiang Yetong said calmly: "I'll tell him when he contacts me... How much operating funds do we have now?"

Lin Xiaoqi swallowed his saliva and said bitterly, "Now the total is less than 700 million... This time the area is so large, the other party may be busy for more than ten days... Last time Zhang San only took action for a short while and asked for 300 million. This 700 million... Will they agree?"

“We have to get the loan too!”

Jiang Yetong gritted his teeth and said, "That person is very important to the next operation. If we can get rid of the weird species first, the subsequent operations will be more certain... these damn rats!"

At the end, she cursed with gritted teeth.

Lin Xiaoqi sighed and stopped talking.

…

After the clone returned, Qin Jinnian put away his cell phone and phone card and then turned around and went home.

As soon as she got home, Qin Xiaomian couldn't wait to ask how the news went and whether Xiaohua was okay.

Qin Jinnian comforted him, saying that Xiaohua's situation was indeed troublesome, but now that he had gone to the Night Watch headquarters in the capital, it was actually safer. When the matter was resolved, Xiaohua would be able to come back.

Qin Xiaomian was very disappointed when she heard this, but she also knew that things had come to this point and it was no longer up to them to decide anything.

Xia Panlan could only sigh: "This child is so pitiful, I hope she can get through this difficult time..."

Nothing happened that night. The next day, the brother and sister went to school as usual, and their parents went to work as usual.

After everyone left, another person walked out of Qin Jinnian's room...it was his clone.

The clone melted into shadow and disappeared on the spot.

Not long after, the clone came to the outside of the Iron Dome, on the top of a hill, took out his cell phone, inserted a phone card, and called Jiang Yetong.

It was obvious that Jiang Yetong had been waiting for his call, as she picked up the phone after only one ring.

"How about it?"

"Well, I discussed it with him and he is willing to take action, but just as I expected, he is unwilling to act with the Night's Watch. So if you really want us to take action, just leave it to us."

"Leave the strange species to you to deal with? This..." Jiang Yetong was a little hesitant.

Because dealing with strange species is a very dangerous thing. These strange species hide among humans, but they are just unwilling to use their abilities, not unable to use them.

One careless move could lead to a riot.

The night watchmen have a series of plans for dealing with strange creatures, and even need the cooperation of the police, traffic police, medical staff and other aspects.

To leave such a matter to a mysterious organization of unknown origin... Jiang Yetong is of course worried!

"All he needs to do is find the weird species and inform us. He won't even do this?"

Jiang Yetong asked unwillingly.

"I asked him, but he didn't want to deal with the authorities, so there was nothing I could do. So... can you accept that?"

Jiang Yetong at the Night Watch headquarters had a flickering expression. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you sure you can handle these weird creatures without causing any major unrest?"

"I can't guarantee that... Who knows what strange methods the Weird Ones have? You Night Watchmen, you can't say there won't be any problems when dealing with the Weird Ones, right?"

Qin Jinnian didn't dare to say it all. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, wouldn't it be troublesome for him? Hearing this, Jiang Yetong was speechless... But the fact is that facing the weird species, who knows what weird methods they have? Who dares to say that there is no problem? Jiang Yetong didn't say anything, Qin Jinnian continued: "And it's agreed in advance that he is very disgusted with the authorities. Although he won't do anything that harms the society, if he finds that someone from your Night Watch is trying to find him or monitor him during his actions, then you Night Watchmen will have to bear the consequences yourself."

This sentence shocked Jiang Yetong again... She really had this idea.

After all, the organization behind Zhang San is too mysterious. She does have the idea of ​​arranging some people to wait inside during the other party's actions to see if they can discover the other party.

I didn't expect that the other party had already issued a warning before I even did anything? "What consequences could there be?" Jiang Yetong asked angrily.

"The consequences include, but are not limited to, killing the night watchmen who saw him, the subsequent supporters, and even the onlookers. As well as terminating our cooperation with you, etc...."

Qin Jinnian said helplessly: "Please believe me, this man is capable of doing such a thing. So, you'd better not test his bottom line..."

“……” Jiang Yetong’s teeth were about to break.

Too arrogant.

In front of her, the deputy director of the Night Watch, he said he wanted to kill the Night Watch! ... This was simply a provocation to the Night Watch! However, thinking of the situation he would have to deal with next... Jiang Yetong could only grit her teeth and endure it.

The opponent's ability is so critical that it may even affect the fate of Canglan City.

"What else? I said it all at once."

Jiang Yetong's voice was cold, and it was obvious that he was suppressing his anger.

"There's nothing else. If you can do it, then I'll give you a quote?"

"explain."

"The area is very large, with a total of 18 districts, and the population is probably over hundreds of thousands, so the time span is also very long. You said it was so urgent, I'm afraid we have to work day and night. In addition, we also need to deal with the strange species... He is also a seventh-level superpower like me, so our offer is 5 billion. What do you think?"

"Five billion?!"

Jiang Yetong knew it might not be cheap, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive. He shouted angrily, "Why don't you just go and rob it?!"

"As I said, business is a matter of negotiation, you can bargain. But let me make it clear, don't bargain like you did last time... Because it was too low, it would be useless even if I agreed, and there's nothing I can do if he disagrees."

Qin Jinnian said in a calm voice.

Jiang Yetong was silent for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "You tell me the bottom price. Five billion is too much. Do you really think the Night Watch is printing money? I have to tell you that we in the Night Watch only have 500 million in liquid funds!"

"500 million? That won't work. It's too little. He won't agree." Qin Jinnian said helplessly.

It's not that he insists on making money, but the key is the market situation. If the money is too little, it will definitely arouse Jiang Yetong's suspicion. So he has to persist.

"So I ask you to give me the actual price. If you agree, I will find a way. If not..."

Having said this, Jiang Yetong paused.

And only the other party has it.

It's a complete monopoly of the market! In this case, they can only accept whatever the other party says! They can't just ignore the safety of the entire city for a few billion, right? To be honest, if the other party can really help them survive this upcoming terrible crisis, let alone 5 billion, even 10 billion, 100 billion... it's not expensive.

But the other party is only looking for strange species. What is really tricky is the actions of the evil church, so these 5 billion seem a bit expensive.

Qin Jinnian deliberately thought about it for a while before sighing helplessly: "Forget it, then I'll tell him a bottom price he can afford... Hey, I'm betraying my friend..."

After he muttered something, he exhaled and said, "Three billion, he can act."

“It’s still too expensive.”

Jiang Yetong said immediately after hearing this.

"This is the reserve price. He won't agree to anything less than this. You can decide for yourself."

Qin Jinnian said.

There are eighteen areas, and we have to find the strange creatures in the crowd in a short time. The workload is much greater than a single battle.

He was considered a seventh-level super warrior, and he could earn 300 million yuan for each attack. If the amount this time was less than 3 billion yuan and this side agreed, Jiang Yetong would definitely doubt whether such an organization really existed.

Of course, if this organization is a "good and lawful" lineup, it can be established without asking for money.

But this goes against Qin Jinnian's original intention of creating a "neutral hidden force".

Because of Zhang San, I will inevitably be questioned by the authorities.

When the "doubts" cannot be eliminated, he desperately needs the official "fear".

If the official people think that everyone in the organization is someone they can win over... then things will become very troublesome later.

Because people have this characteristic.

When someone treats you well enough, you will expect him to treat you better and better, and in the end, even the slightest dissatisfaction may make you angry and furious. At the same time, you dare to show your bad temper in front of him... because you know that even if you are a little angry and a little rude to him, he will not do anything to you.

But on the contrary, if someone ignores you, treats you coldly, or even kicks you or slaps you for no reason, you will be careful to please him. If he smiles at you, you will even think he is very nice.

This is why many people keep their bad temper for their family and loved ones, and their good temper for strangers.

Weird, right?

But this is the bad nature of human beings.

Some people do.

There are also organizations made up of people.

So what Qin Jinnian needs is a background. But this background should be "lawful neutral"... not "good and lawful".

Lawfulness means we will abide by the rules and show our attitude that we are not your enemy.

But neutrality... is the underlying tone.

Qin Jinnian didn't want the Night Watchmen to feel that the organization behind Zhang San was close to the authorities.

So negotiating a deal in a cold manner can save a lot of trouble.

Later, Jiang Yetong said a lot, but Qin Jinnian was determined not to waver on the 3 billion, which made Jiang Yetong so angry that he gritted his teeth.

But there is nothing I can do.

In the end, she could only grit her teeth and say, "Three billion...that's three billion! But let me make it clear, if you cause any big problems in the process...I won't let you go!"

"If you put it that way, I may not be able to accept it. After all, as I said just now, the abilities of the weird species are so strange, and no one knows what abilities these weird species have. You Night Watchmen can't guarantee that nothing will go wrong in the process of eliminating the weird species, but you are so demanding of us... Isn't that too much?"

Qin Jinnian was speechless after hearing this.

Jiang Yetong was speechless for a moment. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then try not to make too much noise while you're handling this, okay?"

"Don't worry about that. As long as the opponent's ability is not too difficult, we will minimize the noise as much as possible... In fact, we don't want to make too much noise. If there is a big noise, it must be because we are not strong enough and there is nothing we can do about it."

Qin Jinnian gave the other party another reassurance.

Jiang Yetong was silent, and finally said, "Okay, the deal is done. Should we pay it to Qin Jinnian's account?"

"That's right."

"Three billion is too much. Can I give you a deposit of 500 million first and the balance later?"

Jiang Yetong thought for a moment and asked again.

"With 500 million, we will clear three areas first. As for the other areas, can we get the money and the people?"

Qin Jinnian doesn't buy it.

Or rather, his background in the 'organization' made him unable to accept this.

"...Damn profiteer!...The money should be in the account before today!"

Jiang Yetong cursed with gritted teeth and said unhappily.

Qin Jinnian smiled and said, "OK, the deal is done. I'll tell him that once the money arrives, we'll take action."

"You said yesterday that in addition to this companion with pupil-type superpowers, you also mentioned a superpower with a special empowerment system... Can you tell me about his abilities and what he can bestow?"

Jiang Yetong suddenly spoke again.

Yesterday, she heard that this pupil-based superpower could find hidden strange species, which made her excited for a while and focused her attention completely here. Now that the deal has been reached, although she is angry, she is also relieved. Then she remembered that the other party mentioned a superpower yesterday.

She was now becoming more and more curious about this organization, so naturally she would take the opportunity to find out more about it.

Qin Jinnian was silent for a moment, then said, "I can tell you, but let me make it clear first, the weird big fish incident last time has nothing to do with our organization, so don't let your imagination run wild after hearing this superpower."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

Jiang Yetong was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding why the big fish was involved. Qin Jinnian did not explain, but said directly: "It is called special because he cannot give any special abilities to objects, but with the help of other superpowers, it can be done... For example, he can attach my abilities to certain objects and then detonate them at once... But this thing is limited to dead objects, it cannot be attached to living things, and it can only be detonated at once."

Qin Jinnian's words made her stunned for a moment, and then she immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words above...

Can the abilities of other super-powered people be added to objects?

Zhang San's ability has appeared in the big fish Guiyi. If there really is such a super-powered person, it is impossible not to think in this direction.

"you……"

Jiang Yetong didn’t know for a moment whether what the other person said was true or not, and his expression changed.

"I know what you're thinking, but please think about it again. If that big fish Guaiyi was really created by him and me, wouldn't I just hide his existence? Why should I bring it up specifically for you? Of course... I don't really care whether you doubt it or not, because I know you're also doubting me now. But let me be clear... I don't want to take the blame for Guaiyi."

Qin Jinnian said with a smile.

Jiang Yetong was silent for a moment.
