Chapter 98 Taboo!
Yu Cang looked at Guluo.
Gu Luo immediately understood, walked up to the burly man in black and whispered a few words, then took a look at the documents they took out, checked them on his personal terminal for a moment, and then returned to the table.
"Mr. Qiu, Mr. Yu, they are indeed staff members of the club... This could be a shareholder's daughter having a small argument with her family, so she ran here."
"Really? Why wouldn't I believe it?" Qiu Ding said suspiciously. "When I ran away from home as a kid, my family sent someone to follow me secretly. How could they arrest someone so blatantly? Do you really think you have no respect for others? ...You guys are so unprofessional!"
Running away from home is something he is familiar with.
This isn't a feudal society anymore. How could a family member forcibly arrest someone in the street? Aren't they afraid of leaving a psychological scar on their future heirs?
Of course, just ignore what he said if he had more children.
The leading man in black still looked apologetic: "Excuse me, sir, we are just following orders. This..."
Seeing his hesitation, Yu Cang seemed to be thinking about something.
He lowered his head and asked the little girl with a smile: "Little sister, tell me the truth, who are they to you?"
"Bad guy!" The girl held Yu Cang's calf even tighter.
"Then...where are your family members? We can take you back."
"I don't want to go home! She is a bad person too!" the girl shouted, tears even starting to well up in her eyes.
Yu Cang and Qiu Ding looked at each other.
This... sounds like something that really happens in someone else's family.
The little girl's dress looked quite expensive, shiny and beautiful, without any wrinkles or dust, and didn't look like she had been kidnapped. Hearing this, it seemed that the little girl had indeed had a conflict with her family.
"Then, are they people sent by your family?" Yu Cang pointed at the burly men in suits.
"yes……"
Yu Cang understood that they had no right to intervene in this matter.
So he lowered his head and touched the girl's head: "Sister, be good. No matter what happens, you must communicate with your parents properly. No matter how big the problem is, it can be solved. Good children should not leave their parents for too long without permission. People will worry."
"That's right." Qiu Ding was eating a snack nearby. "I'm telling you, running away from home is really unprofessional. You didn't even bring your personal terminal or any cash. Even if you did go out, how long would you be able to spend? Hey, listen to me. Next time you run away from home, go to your dad's safe and steal something... I'll teach you how to find the safe. First..."
"Come on, shut up." Yu Cang rolled his eyes.
"I don't want to go back... I'll never be able to get out if I go back..." The girl still didn't let go, but buried her face in Yu Cang's pants.
"How could that be? If you want to go out and play, just tell your family. They will definitely agree."
"No..." The girl clenched her hands tighter and tighter, and her body trembled violently.
"Well, at worst, just come find me when you want to go out and play!" Qiu Ding laughed, "Whatever you want to play, I can take you there!"
"..." The girl paused, as if she had realized that Yu Cang and the others didn't want to help her anymore.
After a moment, she suddenly raised her head, staring straight at Yu Cang with her big eyes, "If I really can never get out...Brother, will you come to save me?"
"...Someone will come to save you." That was all Yu Cang could say.
Hearing this, the girl's expression was lost for a moment, but she still gently loosened Yu Cang's trouser leg and returned to the team of strong men in black.
Before leaving, she turned around and looked at Yu Cang, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she had already been picked up by the men in black and turned away.
Yu Cang looked at this scene and frowned slightly.
I always feel like something is not right.
However...it's really hard for him to get involved in other people's family affairs before he understands the situation.
Moreover, for some reason, the girl had a very familiar aura. He couldn't remember it at the moment, but it made him feel a little uncomfortable. It shouldn't be something good.
"Tsk." Qiu Ding curled his lips, "Really... I'm the one who's been giving her advice, why is she always looking at you... and not coming to me for help or anything."
"Don't teach others bad things." Yu Cang shook his head.
At this time, Ye Lai, who was lying on the side, raised his head and watched the girl walk away. Then he said to Yu Cang silently in his heart:
"The master of this body, that girl, has an aura similar to that of the Snow Mountain Evil Dragon."
"Hmm?" Yu Cang raised his brows.
That’s right, it’s a banned card!
When it was in the snowy mountains, the evil dragon had lost much of its own breath because it was so old.
In addition, by the time he reached the top of the mountain, the mental pressure from the night had suppressed him to the point where he could not do anything, and he was unable to enter into resonance. Therefore, he did not remember the aura of the banned card very clearly.
But after Ye Lai reminded him, he immediately discovered the problem.
But...why does a little girl have the aura of a banned card?
I didn't see any card box or any place on her body that could hide a soul card...
Yu Cang frowned, but did not act rashly.
Even if there are banned cards, it is not your responsibility to resolve them.
He took out his personal terminal and sent a message to Li Anjiu, the superintendent of police.
-
Officer Li, I found traces of banned cards in the Fire Star Club.
Not long after, news came from there:
Can you describe it in detail?
-
You know, I'm a card maker and I'm a little sensitive to this kind of aura. I met a girl here who had the aura of a banned card, and I definitely wouldn't make a mistake.
-
Girl? Do you know her details?
-
……have no idea.
Yu Cang then realized that he hadn't even asked the girl's name. But after thinking about it, he continued typing:
The girl was about five or six years old, wearing a black dress, not very tall, and seemed to be the daughter of a shareholder in the club. When I saw her, she was being chased by several staff members and seemed to have escaped secretly.
-
OK, I understand. Thank you for your information. Please protect yourself. We will take action after we have investigated the matter.
-
OK
Yu Cang put away his personal terminal.
Of course, this kind of thing should be left to professional security guards.
Looking up and seeing Qiu Ding chatting with Guluo, Yu Cang hesitated for a moment.
It feels like... it's getting dangerous here. Should I run away now?
Well, I'll wait until tonight. I haven't extracted my entry yet. This is an epic entry, not very common.
After all, although the term extraction can be interrupted, as long as it is not canceled, there is no way to extract anything else.
And if there really is something fishy going on here, then they will definitely have to suspend business for rectification, or even close down directly. In any case, they will definitely not be able to come back and continue to withdraw money for a while.
He was a little unwilling to let an epic entry get stuck here... Anyway, he didn't have to spend the whole afternoon to figure it out, so he would just take a look.
Moreover, he doesn't have enough relevant entries now, which is not enough to cope with the major armament changes... If he goes to another club, he will have to register as a member again, and the thousands of dollars he spent on Fire Star will be wasted.
We are poor and cannot afford such treatment.
…
A room.
A figure sat in front of the tea table, carefully savoring the steaming tea while looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the lawn and small lake not far away.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, the door was pushed open, and a strong man in a suit walked in.
He seemed a little nervous, not even daring to look up. After stopping at the door, he immediately said, "Mrs. Yu, the young lady has been caught..."
The air fell into silence.
Mrs. Yu did not look back, her calm eyes still looking out the window. She held the teacup in her palm, and the steaming mist filled her eyes.
After a long while, she said, "You're disturbing the guests."
"I... I'm sorry!" A few drops of cold sweat flowed down the strong man's face.
"...Do you know who that young man is?"
"I don't know."
clatter.
Madam Yu gently placed the teacup on the table, making a soft sound. Then, she said, "His name is Yu Cang. Because of him, the Forbidden Vein Erosion Dragon we retrieved from the Snow Mountain will have to wait another six months before it can take effect."
"Is it him?" The burly man raised his head, seemingly no longer afraid, and said quickly, "Card makers who have come into contact with forbidden cards will be very familiar with their aura... He must have discovered something. I'll go and take care of him now!"
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but before he left the room, a faint sigh came from behind him.
Then he found that he could not move his body.
“You are…”
"No need. Everything will end tonight anyway... You just need to keep an eye on him and don't let him leave here before tomorrow."
"But, didn't the above say that we should try our best to prevent outsiders from discovering any traces of the banned card..."
Madam Yu's eyes dropped as she gently stroked her slender fingers: "Yu Cang cannot die yet. This is also an order from above."
"So, let him go..."
"Yu Cang's priority is higher than exposing some insignificant tentacles."
"……I see."
The strong man could only agree, and then control of his body returned to him.
"Oh right, Madam... Yu Cang must be kept alive. What about the person following him, and that Coach Gu Luo... how should we deal with him?"
Mrs. Yu was silent for a long time.
Finally, he sighed with an ambiguous meaning.
"stupid."
“…”
"Go down, don't do anything unnecessary."
The sturdy man lowered his body and quickly turned around to leave. After closing the door, he found that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Although Mrs. Yu sat in her room drinking tea all day, she would only go out for a walk occasionally and spend some time with the young lady. She looked harmless, like an ordinary lady who took care of her husband and children at home.
But only they, her subordinates, knew what a bloody and terrible person Madam Yu was behind the scenes.
Moreover, she would not restrain her methods even when facing her subordinates!
That's why he felt so nervous and apprehensive when he stood in front of Mrs. Yu.
But... compared to the organization's methods of punishing those who make mistakes... Mrs. Yu is much gentler.
That's why he lost his composure when he learned that he might have accidentally leaked an organization's secrets!
Thinking of Yu Cang whom he had met in the buffet restaurant before, the strong man felt a little depressed.
She's just a student, is it really worth exposing the existence of the banned card...
You know, according to the original plan, after tonight is over, an armory in the mountains will be immediately detonated to bury all traces in the ruins!
We went to such great lengths to prevent others from discovering that a banned card had been born here, but just because of Yu Cang, we have to take the risk of being exposed?
Could it be... that Mrs. Yu betrayed the organization?
He couldn't help but clench his fists. If he could really discover this possibility... maybe he could make up for the mistake he made this time.
Moreover, his guess was not groundless. Ever since what happened that year, he had always felt that something was wrong with Madam Yu... If he could bring her down, then perhaps he could replace Madam Yu's position in the organization and no longer have to endure Madam Yu's anger.
It's just that he has never found any substantial evidence.
After thinking for a long time without any results, he could only give up. After all, Mrs. Yu's status was higher than his, and it was possible that there were some orders that he was not aware of.
"We have to leave Yu Cang here first..." The strong man left in a hurry.
…
"You two, what are you planning to do this afternoon?" Guluo asked with a smile.
The two of them had eaten and drunk their fill and had rested.
Gu Luo asked the restaurant's chef to process the ingredients caught by Qiu Ding. It was not known whether it was because the meat was freshly caught or because the chef was highly skilled, but Yu Cang felt that the texture of the meat was different. Both the taste and flavor were excellent.
"Burp... Um, Master Yu Cang." Qiu Ding patted his stomach. "How about we go for a stroll by the lake first, which is a good way to digest the food. We can then find something to keep us going."
"That's fine." Yu Cang looked into the distance, his eyes shining.
Now, he is in resonance every moment.
Moreover, in order to speed up the efficiency of resonance, he also changed the rare attribute of the equipment to the related [Shoot], just to complete today's goal as soon as possible.
The equipment effect of [Shoot] is to greatly increase Yu Cang's sensitivity to weaknesses.
Now, no matter what Yu Cang sees, he can easily judge which part is relatively fragile. Even if he can't see it at first glance, just by touching it a few times, he can understand the approximate structure of the object.
With the blessing of the two entries [Shoot] and [Shoot to Kill], Yu Cang's resonance here is undoubtedly deeper. Correspondingly, the countdown has also been shortened a lot. It seems that it will take only another three hours to extract it.
However, Yu Cang always had a bad feeling.
It won't be like what happened in the snowy mountains again, where they extracted some weird thing called "ritual" from the snowy mountains...
Yu Cang sighed.
Don't do that kind of thing.
"By the way, Coach Gu." Yu Cang turned his head, "Do we have anything like...a howitzer here?"
Gu Luo was stunned for a moment: "I didn't expect that Mr. Yu knows quite a lot about firearms."
In this world, guns are not as popular as they were in previous lives. A big part of the reason is that the gun battle elements that should have appeared in various film and television works have become fancy soul card duels, stealing all the limelight.
Shooting is a relatively unpopular sport, and there are very few gun enthusiasts. Many people know that it exists, but have no idea what its classifications are.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Luo said, "Grenades... should be in stock, but if you two want to play with them, you may have to wait a while. This item requires additional application procedures. Also, it will be more expensive."
"Oh? Lao Gu, you actually have something good you haven't told me yet!" Qiu Ding's eyes lit up. "Just tell me, when will it be ready?"
"Give me a few hours. Few customers want to experience this, so I can't say for sure... By the way, firing a howitzer shell costs 10,000. Of course, this amount is definitely nothing to you two."
Hearing this, Qiu Ding's face froze, but he quickly adjusted his expression and coughed lightly a few times: "Um... of course."
"That's troublesome." Yu Cang also nodded.
It just so happens that it takes time for him to extract the entries, so let's wait for a while.
"In that case, I'll take you two to the hotel to rest for a while, and then I can go prepare the ammunition."
"Okay." Qiu Ding agreed readily.
…
Thanks to Qiu Ding's relationship, the hotel where the two of them rested was in a very good location. Not only was it close to the mountains and water, but it was also located at a very high altitude. When they walked to the balcony, they could almost overlook most of the shooting range.
Yu Cang walked through the living room holding a glass of juice, looked at the closed door on the side, and clicked his tongue a few times.
This room has good sound insulation.
Qiu Ding was busy, so Yu Cang decided to take a walk around the area by himself.
When I walked out of the room, there was a swimming pool in the yard. Although it was called a hotel, it was actually just a small villa.
Obviously, it is specially prepared for customers like Qiu Ding.
Standing by the swimming pool, Yu Cang stared at the countdown on the entry recorder in a daze.
On the side, Ye Lai was lying on his shoulder, looking around with his big eyes, but there was not much curiosity in his gaze, but rather some nostalgia.
"Speaking of which, Ye Lai, why didn't you eat something in the restaurant just now?"
"This body doesn't have the ability to digest food, and its sense of taste isn't very sensitive either. It's better not to desecrate those delicacies."
"I see... Wait a minute, I'll try my best to see if I can help you add these features."
"Thank you for your trouble."
"It's okay." Yu Cang's eyes moved away from the entry recorder. "By the way, Ye Lai, can you sense the presence of the banned card somewhere?"
"That aura..." Ye Lai raised his head and gazed into the distance, "There seems to be some lingering deep in the forest, but it's too far away, I can't be sure."
"I understand." Yu Cang nodded.
After thinking for a while, he took out a soul card from his pocket and summoned the Star of Death.
Then he found a place with a wide view, set up his gun, and tried to observe the situation in the distance through the scope.
This club is quite large and the terrain is quite complex. Without Guluo leading the way, Yu Cang is likely to get lost in the mountains and forests. Therefore, it is better to observe from a distance with a scope, which is safer.
"The distance isn't enough... add a little more." Yu Cang tried to inject soul energy, "If I only increase the sight distance without increasing the effective range... it still won't work."
Yu Cang had no choice but to put down his gun.
When the visual range increased to 2,500 meters, his head was already dizzy, and his soul energy was almost exhausted and he could not continue.
Moreover, at this distance, the obstruction is quite serious. The terrain in the mountains and forests is complex, and it is difficult to see anything clearly at such a long distance.
“…No, let’s try changing the equipment.” Yu Cang opened the entry library.
After selecting for a while, Yu Cang selected a few entries:
【Mechanical】+【Hyperopia】+【Diffusion】+【Electronic】!
Two common and two rare, the success rate is not too high, but fortunately these items have good compatibility, there is also 50%
The cooldown for rare entries is one hour, but Yu Cang was lucky this time and succeeded on the second try:
Soul Card Name: Eye of Super Vision
Category: Equipment Card
Quality: Rare
Attribute: Thunder/Wind
ability:
[Hyperopia]: After wearing it, the field of vision is greatly improved, and the wearer can share the field of vision with the soul card master.
[Electronic Super Vision Barrier]: It can actively put it into death cooling and leave a barrier in the original place. The soul card master can obtain all the vision within the barrier. Within the barrier, the existence carrying electrical signals will not be able to enter invisibility.
The Super Vision Eye is a pair of silver goggles that automatically fit the user's face after being worn, without causing any discomfort.
“Try again!”
After putting on the eyes of super vision, Yu Cang once again looked into the mountains and forests.
This time, his vision was much clearer, and the visual adjustment of the Super Vision Eye was much more flexible than the sight of the Killing Star. He could adjust the magnification to whatever he wanted, which was very convenient.
The only downside was that when Yu Cang adjusted the field of view magnification very high, his perception of the surroundings would often be weakened, and he almost fell down a few times.
"I still can't see anything..." Yu Cang was a little disappointed.
But think about it, even if there really is something shameful inside, it wouldn't be so blatantly displayed on the surface.
"Hmm? Wait, there..." Yu Cang's eyes were attracted by somewhere.
It seemed to be behind a warehouse. Originally, it should have been blocked by a group of tall trees, but suddenly a strong wind blew, creating a hole in the layers of leaves, allowing Yu Cang to see what was underneath.
"This is..." Yu Cang's heart trembled.
It was an open space, its flat ground covered with fine purple lines, extending all the way to a point beyond Yu Cang's sight. And right in the center of these lines, a woman sat upright on a stone chair, holding a formation writing brush. At his feet... the little girl Yu Cang had seen earlier was huddled together, trembling.
Yu Cang's eyes trembled, and before he could react, he saw the woman turn her head slightly, actually looking at him, and then... smiled slightly.
Yu Cang was silent.
Sa...
Another gust of wind blew, and the leaves closed again, hiding everything, as if what Yu Cang had just seen was just an illusion.
"What is that?" Yu Cang frowned.
That woman...is she the girl's relative?
But generally speaking, even if a child throws a tantrum, will they be afraid of their loved ones like that...
Moreover, Yu Cang did not think that the purple lines all over the ground were just simple graffiti. Besides... the woman was holding a formation writing pen in her hand, and she was also a card maker!
Add to that the forbidden aura that Yu Cang had sensed from the girl before...
In a trance, the girl's words echoed in my ears:
...After I went back, I could never get out again.
"It's broken." Yu Cang frowned.
At noon, it seemed that he shouldn't have let the girl go so easily.
A sense of uneasiness emerged in his heart, as if there was a suffering that he could have easily prevented, but he had inadvertently allowed it to happen.
This made him a little irritated.
"That place..." When Yu Cang looked over again, he could no longer see anything. The terrain in the mountains and forests was very similar, and at such a long distance, it would be very difficult to lock onto a specific location after moving your sight away.
If you can only determine the approximate direction, trying to find the location is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Yu Cang continued to control the Super Vision Eye to patrol the mountains and forests, but unfortunately, his luck seemed to have run out and he never found an opportunity for the wind to blow away the bushes.
…
After the bushes closed, the smile on Mrs. Yu's face gradually disappeared.
But just a moment later, she didn't know what she was thinking about, but a smile reappeared on the corner of her mouth.
She put down the writing brush in her hand.
Seeing this, the shivering girl at his feet bit her lip and said timidly, "Mom...Mom, are you not going to continue drawing on Qi'er..."
"No rush... Anyway, there's only one final touch left." Madam Yu gently placed her hand on Qi'er's face, carefully examining her delicate skin, her eyes filled with smiles. "You will be my greatest creation... Of course, not yet, so don't be impatient."
"Qier, Qier, don't worry..." The girl forced herself to suppress the uneasiness on her face.
"By the way, I suddenly had an interesting idea. Before I put pen to paper, why not find a few audience members? What do you think?"
“…”
The girl didn't say anything, but Mrs. Yu didn't expect her to answer. It was as if she was just talking to herself. "That's settled. Come on, Qi'er. Mommy will take you out for some fun one last time. When you see Daddy tomorrow, don't say anything bad about Mommy..."
…
"Gentlemen, your request has been approved. Now we can go play with the grenades." Gu Luo rubbed his hands. "Honestly, even I don't have many opportunities to touch such a big thing..."
"Oh? Pretty fast." Qiu Ding put on his clothes and walked out of the room. It seemed that he had just taken a shower.
"Haha, that's all I should do... Oh, by the way, the area where we're allowed to fire grenades is a little far from here, so we need to take a car."
"Let's go," Qiu Ding said casually.
"Coach Gu," Yu Cang suddenly said, "In that mountain over there...are there any warehouses or similar structures? I seemed to see a hint of something when I looked out in the distance just now."
"Ah? That... I'm not sure." Gu Luo was stunned. "After all, I'm just a coach. But as for warehouses, there are a lot of them in the club. That direction... there should be one. Oh, now I remember, the venue we're going to next is over there. Maybe what you saw was a grenade launcher warehouse."
"...Okay, then lead the way."
Experiencing grenades is a normal activity and should not be dangerous.
…
Gu Luo rode an off-road vehicle and took the two of them to the venue.
On the way, Yu Cang kept in touch with Li Anjiu through his personal terminal.
This matter is full of strangeness. He definitely cannot handle it by himself and needs help from others.
During his conversation with Li Anjiu, he learned that the background behind the Fire Star was somewhat complex, and for the time being, the Superintendent was unable to directly launch an investigation. Furthermore, their area was too large, and relying solely on the ambiguous intelligence provided by Yu Cang, even a search would be difficult to find any clues.
Fortunately, Li Anjiu told Yu Cang that he and several colleagues had already entered the Fire Star in plain clothes and planned to conduct a secret investigation first.
After learning about the girl's situation, Li Anjiu took it very seriously and was actively moving towards the location provided by Yu Cang.
However, the place where Yu Cang is now seems to be a place that only senior members like Qiu Ding can come to, and Li Anjiu and the others really can't get in for a while.
I have to wait and see for now.
After communicating with Li Anjiu, Yu Cang looked at Qiu Ding who was excited and was silent for a moment.
Or quietly remind with a message:
-
Qiu Ding, the girl we met at noon might be related to the banned card. If you encounter danger later, just run away.
ah?
Qiu Ding was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became visibly... even more excited!
He glanced around mysteriously, then typed:-
Master, I was wondering why you were so secretive earlier. I invited you to tea but you didn't even show up. So you have a mission? I get it, I get it... Um, is there anything I can do to help?
As long as you are admitted to the Soul Card Master University of Yan Country, you can basically be regarded as a citizen of the country.
After all, it is impossible for a country to spend time and effort to train individuals who possess the power of soul cards and then release them into society.
Therefore, facing the banned card directly is actually a responsibility that Yu Cang will most likely undertake in the future. Now that he has discovered the abnormality of the girl, he did not deliberately avoid danger.
Many students have already found jobs after graduation, so it is normal to receive some "secret tasks" in advance.
Obviously, Qiu Ding has already brought Yu Cang into this role.
So he got even more excited.
Disguise your identity! Sneak in secretly! Investigate the banned cards!
Oh my god, this is so exciting.
Yu Cang was somewhat speechless, holding the terminal and typing face to face:
-
This is not a joke, the one in front... forget it, just watch out.
He was not sure either.
-
Got it! We'll just have to adapt to the situation for now!
…
Soon, they arrived at the place.
This is a bumpy open space. Looking around, there are many scrapped armored vehicle wreckages parked on the ground. It looks like they were destroyed by some kind of explosion.
After several people got off the car, Yu Cang's eyes moved and he saw an extra line of words on the entry recorder:
The entry extraction is complete, and the epic entry is obtained: [Taboo], the rare entry is: [Arsenal], and the common entry is: [Ammunition]
Seeing these three entries, Yu Cang felt a little depressed.
As expected...something strange was extracted.
On the other side, Gu Luo had already picked up a long object and introduced it to the two of them:
"Look, this big thing is called 'Roaring Messenger'. It's a rocket launcher. Honestly, I've only played with it a few times." Gu Luo's eyes were filled with excitement. "Today, thanks to Mr. Chou, I can touch it again."
"Really? Then come quickly, I can't wait!" Qiu Ding said excitedly.
While observing his surroundings, Yu Cang walked up to a Roaring Messenger and casually activated the entry recorder.
A countdown appeared on it, lasting for an hour.
"Don't be impatient, the two of you. The use of the Boom Messenger may be a little complicated, I need to explain it to you first..."
Thank you for the generous reward!
