Chapter 28: Ten consecutive card draws and gunshots in the dark night
"Boom!" A huge explosion sounded throughout the area. The member of the organization who was only responsible for driving the car outside the warehouse rolled off the truck in horror. He took out his mobile phone tremblingly and called his superiors, "Sir, the armory, armory No. 7713, it suddenly exploded!"
Wang Chuanshe ignored this escaped fish who was scolded and covered in dirt. He put on his cloak and left with a smile on his face. The organization has many bases, and Japan can be said to be one of its very important branches. Here, they have worked very hard, and this remote arsenal is what they left behind long ago. It is very small and is the easiest one to use.
This was just foreplay. He took a look at the harvest in his light ball, +39, +15. The former was the sum provided by the guard inside, and the latter was provided by the person on the other end of the phone, perhaps an unknown code member.
This way, it would be barely enough for him to draw cards. Wang Chuanshe felt even happier when he thought about it. He took the organization's ace killer very seriously.
Pei Zhen opened his eyes. He was standing in endless darkness, with ripples on the surface under his feet like water. Looking at the countless stars falling from the sky, he jumped forward, floating in the air as if he had lost gravity, tightly grasping a star in his hand that was trembling and trying to escape.
This was not the end. After receiving it, he ran again towards the biggest and brightest one he had seen. Unfortunately, it passed him by and he could only catch the second brightest one next to it. A trace of regret flashed through his mind, but he quickly regrouped because he came well prepared this time and there were still many opportunities available to him.
When he fell again, his arms were filled with shining stars. He stood still on the water, calmed his mind, transformed the stars into the shape of cards, then stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him——
[Graystone][Bronze][Bronze][Bronze][Bronze]
Pei Zhen took a deep breath and looked at the sixth one, […iron]. Right in front of him, the words before “iron” kept changing. He was stunned and remembered the newspaper he read during the day. "Is copper more valuable than black iron?"
Finally, the word was finalized, [black (tungsten) iron→tungsten iron].
[Tungsten Iron][Bronze][Tungsten Iron][Graystone][Tungsten Iron]
He looked around, as if trying to find something that could peek into his heart, but he found nothing. He looked away, his mood turbulent. He suddenly understood one thing. Perhaps the golden finger he possessed was originally invisible. It could extract abilities. The reason why it appeared in the shape of a card was because it was shaped by his mind and was the form he could accept the most.
He used to think that black iron was more valuable than bronze, so it was ranked before bronze, but when his concept changed, it changed with it. He took out the cards he had drawn before and looked at them again. Sure enough, they had also changed in the level column.
His authority may be higher than he thought.
He waited for a long time, until his mood calmed down, and finally clicked on the card.
[Graystone Skill] [Cat Language]
"Meow, meow, meow, meow."
↑ It is saying: "This ability allows you to understand what big cats and small cats are saying. What, do you want to become a cat lover? Young people can't take shortcuts. This depends on your own efforts. Think about how much you have paid recently..."
Are there any greystone level skills? Pei Zhen was surprised and quickly looked away and clicked on the second picture.
[Bronze and Miscellaneous] [Universal umbrella]
"You can use it to block rain, knife, or gun. It can be your crutch, stick, or parachute. Since the day it was born, its mission is more than just blocking rain. The universal umbrella is your closest bodyguard."
The advertisement is very good, it shouldn’t be false propaganda, right?
[Bronze Costume] [Traveler/Explorer]
"You were born free, not to live in a cramped space."
Pei Zhen didn't expect to see the second fashion card so soon, but this card was much simpler than the previous one. Its card surface was not gorgeous, but it had a meaning. A huge mountain occupies most of the card. Under the clear sky, there is only a tiny person preparing to set off from the foot of the mountain. He/she carries a large backpack, holds a trekking pole in hand, and looks up at the top of the mountain. From that moment on, the journey begins.
Just based on the word [fashion], this draw is worth it.
[Bronze / Miscellaneous] [Kel-Tec P32 Pistol]
"Lightweight, concealable, affordable, a great first gun for young people."
This is a small pocket-sized pistol with a frame wrapped in plastic, which makes it look like a toy gun, but it is indeed a real gun. It is not very powerful, but it is enough for self-defense.
Pei Zhen was wondering whether he should take some time to learn how to use a gun. If he can't draw out this skill, is he just going to keep waiting? He had lived without the golden finger for more than ten years. It was not because of a journey that he completely lost the ability to learn. He was still a human being, with his head and limbs intact.
He turned to the fifth card.
[Bronze Skill] Hypnosis
In the dark curtain, a pair of whirlpool-like eyes stared at the person outside the card.
"People often claim to be free-spirited, but you can easily shatter this. If you learn it, people will be like lambs without clothes in front of you. The only difference is whether you want to play tricks on them or... do something naughty."
"Or, become their 'king'."
This skill card is somewhat dangerous, and the last sentence of its introduction is quite provocative. Fortunately, Pei Zhen is a simple-minded person, and neither the previous choice nor the latter choice is acceptable to him. When it comes to depravity, sometimes, if you give people a little bit of boundaries, they will become corrupt without hesitation.
Each of these five cards is useful, but not that useful. He hopes to draw out a card that will be of great help to [Wangchuan She] in his future battle with the Black Organization.
He clicked on the first [Tungsten Iron] card.
[Tungsten Iron·Skill] [Commander]
"You came into this world to go to the battlefield. You like the smell of gunpowder and death, especially the moment when your subordinates run to the fortress under your command, when artillery fire and missiles fall under your command, the pleasure of controlling victory and the fate of others makes you indulge in it infinitely. You are addicted to war, war, war... May there never be peace in the world."
"Hiss," Pei Zhen couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: "This card, this card...it is evil in nature!"
No, no, no, I cannot look at any card with tinted eyes, they are all my wealth. Pei Zhen immediately reflected on himself. After all, he was the one using them, so how to control them was up to him, right? The vest is also a part of themselves, and they will definitely not do anything beyond the standard.
After praising his future "self", Pei Zhen carefully clicked on the next card.
[Bronze Fashion] [Yellow Hair]
"You are not born like this, but there are always some bad influences from the outside world on you. You smoke, drink, skip school, love to gather in the alleys, and do things that good students would never do - do you really want to do this in your heart?"
"Day after day, you get a glimpse of your gray and bleak future."
Pei Zhen was speechless and clicked on the next card.
[Tungsten Iron·Identity] [Isabelle (Noble Girl)]
"Have you ever set your eyes on me? Brother, I can do what others can do. It's not that I can't survive if I leave this family. I can let wrinkles crawl onto my face, let the skin of my hands become chapped, I can take off my long skirt, put on cloth, and use my own hands to work little by little. There are many ordinary people who are not nobles in this world, and it is not shameful to become one of them. No matter what, I can survive."
"Besides, do you really know my talents? You have shattered my yearning for family affection and imprisoned my curiosity about the outside world. Now that it is time to use me, you still don't set your sights on me. Put away your hypocritical principles! The outside world is not scary, and walking outside is not a nightmare for women. The times now are no longer the same as before. What you have not walked out of is your heart."
"I'm leaving, and you—"
"You can't threaten me."
This is a picture with a very vivid structure and color. The woman is standing closer to the card surface. She is standing on a high ground and looking far away at the other side of the river. She was wearing an intricate and gorgeous Lolita dress, and the umbrella in her hand was also folded with layers of lace. The wind was very strong, and the umbrella in her hand was blown crooked. She did not insist, but let go and let the umbrella be blown away, just like the past she had left behind.
The sky was gray, there was no bright color in the background, no vitality at all, and the bare land was covered with yellow soil and rocks. A turbulent river separated her eyes, and the river flowed endlessly, as if there was no end. She was facing the river, her long hair flying, her feet barefoot under her skirt, and if you looked closely you could see that her socks and part of her skirt were wet. A blurry figure was running towards them from the other side of the river. He was wearing a noble dress and had one hand stretched forward, as if he was shouting to grab something.
Pei Zhen looked at it very carefully. This picture and those words revealed a lot of things. This identity also has a very detailed setting. Except for the gender being female, everything else is very good. Pei Zhen hesitated for a while, and finally thought, since he would not use a pseudonym to date, he could just let her be a girl, maybe she would be cuter.
After quickly preparing himself mentally, Pei Zhen slowly reached for the second-to-last card.
[Graystone · Sundries] [Hamburger three-piece set]
The packaging bag still has a familiar brand name printed on it, and it feels warm to the touch, making it hard not to suspect that it was just picked up from a store counter. A glass of ice cola was put in the bag, and ketchup was sprinkled on the French fries next to it.
That’s it. I don’t have to cook when I go out. Tonight’s dinner can be solved by drawing cards. There is a gap between [Gray Stone] and [Gray Stone]. Should I thank the golden finger for considering me so thoughtfully? Pei Zhen made fun of himself, but was not disappointed. He turned to look at the last card.
This card is a bit special. It is drawn using achievement points. Before it is drawn, it has already been fixed at the [Tungsten Iron] level.
[Tungsten Iron·Miscellaneous] [Upgrade Card]
"As the name suggests, it can upgrade any card drawn below the level to a 'Tungsten Iron' card. There is no category restriction."
Pei Zhen was stunned. Could it be that the cards had such an effect? He thought that as long as he drew the card, it would not change anymore, but this card overturned his concept. So, which card should I use it on? Pei Zhen fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he finally came out of the strange space with stars all over the sky. The detective agency had closed down long ago. Although he had decided to enter this industry, his own particularity undoubtedly determined that he was not a diligent detective. The previous worries about money were also resolved after drawing out the second [identity].
Pei Zhen had thought about not allowing the vest to have any connection with the real body, not even money. But then he changed his mind and thought, why should he make his life so hard? Dividing his attention to do other things has already consumed too much of his energy. Before this problem is resolved, his original career will naturally be greatly affected. It's all his own fault. Setting such a meaningless restriction will only cause him to suffer more uselessly.
What's more, the [Gold Card] inlaid on his body is also the last trump card for the vests when they are out there. If they really encounter some trouble that they cannot deal with, its power is enough to help them get out of any difficulties and prevent people from thinking that they are one. It has that ability.
Pei Zhen made a decision, drank a glass of water, and walked towards the bedroom.
Wang Chuanshe suddenly opened his eyes, his red eyes were particularly bright in the darkness. He put on a smile and looked at the new card he had added and the card that had been changed.
[Hypnosis] was brought into this vest, and the [Bronze] before [Mixed Martial Arts] was converted to [Tungsten Iron].
[Tungsten Iron Skill] [Unrestricted Fighting]
"The fighting of wild beasts will also become more perfect. Systematic improvement is by no means useless. The wisdom of human beings lies in their ability to always innovate and incorporate new skills. When they reach the peak of their skills, they will look for breakthroughs in other aspects, such as metaphysics and science."
"Metaphysics is unreliable, at least in this world. But science is undoubtedly universal. If you want to surpass humans, you have to go beyond your limitations, not only physically but also mentally. You chose some safer attempts in order to gain a stronger physique and higher strength."
"Science plus any card is a trump card, and fighting is no exception."
The smile on Wang Chuanshe's face deepened. He clenched his fists, feeling further strength, and his smile became even more unbridled. He stood on the tallest building in Tokyo. Below him were brilliant neon lights everywhere. He opened his arms, letting the night wind pass through his hair and fingers. He had the illusion that he owned the city.
But the reason why an illusion is an illusion is that it is easily broken. As heavy footsteps approached from behind, Wang Chuanshe woke up from his immersion. He said with some regret: "Finally found it? What a pity!"
The visitor was a tall man wearing a long black trench coat. He had a grim expression and a black hat that half covered his eyebrows. His hair was silver and fell straight down, forming a unique feature. But none of these could resist his aura. This man was simply made of murderous aura. He grinned, his teeth seemed to be shining coldly, and he said grimly: "The puppeteer of light and shadow... huh?"
"Oh my," Wang Chuanshe turned halfway around in surprise, "Who came up with such an ugly name?"
Gin didn't take action immediately. He just sneered and said, "Don't you know? You are already famous in the underground world, but..." He pressed down his hat and said in a solemn voice, "You became famous by stepping on the organization."
Wang Chuan She was not affected at all. He smiled heartlessly, which made Vodka on the side admire him a little. He said nonchalantly, "It can't be helped. I need a pawn, and that person took the initiative to jump in front of me. Would I not use him just because he is from the organization? No, this is not in line with my rules."
"Your rules, then do you know what the rules of the organization are?" Gin pointed the gun at him mercilessly. The silver-white lines of the gun body were smooth and gorgeous, and there was no sign that this was a weapon that had taken countless lives.
"Anyone who provokes me must die?" Wang Chuan She helped Gin finish what he had not finished saying. Then, he tilted his head and said, "Then why don't you shoot?"
"Bang!" Gin fired a shot without mercy, but Wangchuan She did not move. The bullet just flew past his face, taking away a strand of hair and leaving a trace of blood.
Wang Chuanshe looked at him with a smile. Gin remained cold and said, "Hand over the branch map of the organization's secret base. Also, you have two choices after that."
"I seem to have guessed it..."
"Either join the organization or die!" Gin spat out cold words.
“Hahahahaha!” Wang Chuanshe laughed crazily. He bent over and covered his stomach with his hands. “I knew it. I knew it. This is your style. In some novels, if you encounter people like you, they are always threatened to join the organization. No matter if they have the power themselves, they always compromise in the end. For the development of the plot, everyone thinks this way.”
He was talking nonsense, but Gin looked at him coldly, not moved at all. His hand still held the gun, like a fleshless statue.
"But, don't." Wang Chuan She, who had laughed enough, suddenly stood up straight, restrained all expressions on his face, and said briefly and coldly.
He stood at the edge, looked at the two with disdain and said, "Your organization's old-timer smell is almost suffocating me. Joining you? Dream on."
Vodka was horrified. It was the first time he encountered someone who mercilessly mocked and belittled the organization. All the other institutions, even the official elite organizations, paid extreme attention to them, and rats were sent in one after another. Where does this person get so much self-confidence?
Gin was even happier. He seemed to have finally gotten rid of the shackles and was about to fire the second shot, but Wang Chuanshe spoke a new sentence even faster: "Also, in return for your wanted warrant for me, I have another gift to give you."
"Bang, bang, bang!" Gin fired without mercy, not wanting to hear a word he said.
Wang Chuanshe dodged the bullets narrowly, then took out something and pressed it without hesitation.
"Boom boom boom boom—" Four sparks of explosion exploded in four directions one after another. Vodka seemed to have thought of something, and he shouted: "Brother!"
"Everything in the world is empty, only joy has some meaning."
Wang Chuan She said this again, with a faint smile on his face, and made a symbolic closing gesture: "Look, can the whole city's feast win your favor?"
The city began to turmoil, as if awakening from its vanity.
"Brother, he blew up all our warehouses of banned (drugs) in this city, and also a (human) research institute!" Vodka was holding a cell phone. Although he looked big and strong, he knew all the intelligence about the organization by heart.
Wang Chuanshe raised his head, the fireworks of the entire city seemed to be reflected in his eyes. He smiled gently, and waves of light appeared in his eyes.
Breathtaking.
