Chapter 129 Black Jack, Old Jack?
After breakfast, Wayne asked Sharapova and Zero to accompany Tina in the living room, while he returned to the studio.
They say they are accompanying each other, but in fact, these three people can't even find a complete topic when they are tied together.
Only Zero looked at Tina, then at Sawa, and asked from time to time: "Why do you want breakfast? Is it delicious?"
"I don't know, I haven't eaten it."
"Tina, eat, I don't know."
have no idea? Tina?
Zero-type discovered Tina's abnormality, and like a curious baby, he imitated her tone: "Zero-type, um, Zero-type asked, can I eat it?"
Sharapova glared at him, "Don't talk like that!"
Tina also looked at him, "Tina, I don't know."
"Then, how should I call you?" Zero asked Tina again, "Mother, is this okay..."
boom!
Miss Zombie hit him on the head with her fist, gritted her teeth, and said, "No!"
"Oh." Zero scratched his head, knowing that this was Sharapova expressing dissatisfaction.
"Tina, mother." The white-haired girl's empty eyes reflected Zero's thick metal body, as if she wanted to remember his appearance in her heart.
Sharapova turned to look at her, a hint of black light flashing in her pale eyes.
Tina also seemed to be aware of it, and also turned to look at her, staring with big blank eyes, looking very innocent.
Zero looked around and suddenly felt that it would be more suitable for him to sit still...
Then,
The living room fell into a long silence. There was one person, one machine and one zombie. They could all be called living beings. They sat facing each other without even blinking.
"..."
Wei En, who was busy in the studio upstairs, took the time to use his mental perception to take a look, and couldn't help but grin.
Are you sure it's not a still picture?
Well, harmony!
Wei En shook his head and stopped paying attention to the three strange flowers downstairs. He looked at the revolver he had just made and nodded with satisfaction.
The revolver is the most conspicuous part of the revolver, it can even be said to be the soul of the revolver, so he designed it with special care.
This runner is silver-white in color and has a diameter slightly wider than the barrel of the musket. It can hold eight bullets inside, which is enough for him to use in daily combat.
At the same time, in order to retain the effect of the musket that can trigger potions No. 1-7, Wei En did not touch the internal rune circle and only modified some parts.
In addition to rotations, modifications to the barrel and semi-automatic trigger are also included.
Compared with making a new gun, modification is much less difficult. It only took him two hours to complete all the modification work according to the drawings.
The overall gun body is as sky blue as before, the length of the gun body has increased by five centimeters, and the width has also increased by two centimeters under the influence of the runner.
Wayne also very carefully redrawn the gunfire pattern representing the Secret Adjustment Division, making the revolver look more exquisite and gorgeous.
According to his estimation, the power of this gun has increased by about 30% compared to before, and with the addition of bullets, it should reach 50%.
"Not bad." Wei En held the revolver and aimed at some targets around him, which was comfortable enough.
With his master-level marksmanship, the moment he holds the handle of the gun, he can detect the detailed parameters of the gun in his hand.
Comfort is the highest comment he can make.
If it were replaced with that sniper rifle, Wei En would definitely give a higher rating.
With this in mind, he came to the Clown Theater through the golden key, wanting to see the power of the revolver with his own eyes and do some tests at the same time.
"Is this really the real world?"
As soon as he arrived at the theater, Wei En saw the messy scene around him, the smashed tables and chairs, and the bullet holes in the surrounding walls. These were all left when he vented his frustration last night.
He thought it would be like the game world, where the damage caused would be refreshed regularly.
It seems that he is overthinking it.
Bang, bang bang bang...
"The effective range is 300 meters, which has been increased by six times. The power has been increased by more than 50%?" Wei En was shooting while observing various data of the revolver.
Generally speaking, except for changing bullets more frequently than before, all other abilities are stronger than standard muskets.
Frequency of reloading...
Wayne looked at the revolver thoughtfully. Maybe he should also prepare a firearm similar to an assault rifle.
That way, you can switch to different weapons at any time when dealing with different combat scenarios.
However, the current three firearms are enough.
Facing extraordinary beings with strong defense capabilities, he has a sniper gun to break through the defense, and a six-barreled shotgun and revolver for close combat. He can be called a powerful gunner.
Wei En looked at the ghosts above his head and scratched his head secretly, I am a wizard...
With four spell systems, he still relied on various types of firearms to fight.
Oh, it’s really——
Wayne returned to the studio, threw the revolver and the newly made bullets into the mechanical door, and then began to move everything in the studio to the theater.
"I don't know when the people from the Abyss Sect, the Black Pearl, and the leader hiding behind the scenes plan to take action..."
Just in case, Wei En still plans to be ready for battle at any time.
If something goes wrong, he will hide in the theater.
Moreover, it would be more convenient to place the studio in the theater space so that he can use those tools at any time.
Not long after, Wei En packed up his things and went downstairs to see the three people still staring at each other. He said helplessly: "Tina, let's go."
"Tina, let's go."
The white-haired girl stood up immediately, took one step forward to hold his hand, and leaned against him obediently, her eyes seemingly looking at the mechanical life unintentionally.
Miss Zombie also stood up, looked at the two of them, lowered her head, "Wayne, goodbye."
"Father, what about me?"
"You should go to the Mechanical Gate, but you can't be idle inside."
"I know, I will study hard!" Zero promised, patting his chest.
"Um."
After Zero entered the machine, Wei En told Ms. Zombie about the two of them, and then pulled Tina out of the residence.
He is not worried about leaving Sawa in his residence. If there is an emergency, he can summon her directly through the undead summoning circle.
"Good morning, Wayne."
"Morning, Tina."
Carly seemed to have been waiting for him to go out at the door of the clinic. When she saw him coming out, she smiled and said hello.
"morning."
Um?
Wayne's eyes bypassed Carly and looked at the clinic behind her, Vasquez?
[You are under a mental perception scan by Nicole Vazquez. Reward: Survival point +1. 】
[You are targeted by Nicole Vazquez’s murderous intent. Evaluation: If combined with her, it should optimize your extraordinary bloodline. Reward: +5 survival points. 】
Combine and optimize bloodline?
What does this mean? The panel is getting more and more disgusting...
But what Wen is more curious about is, why did the Vazquez appear in the clinic?
And the moment she realized it was him, she had a strong murderous intention towards him. Was it someone from the Black Pearl?
Could it be...
"Sister Carly, is Uncle Euan here?"
"Here, are you looking for him?" Carly puffed up her cheeks, "Euan has guests visiting and he came early in the morning."
"Guest?" Wei En asked calmly, "It's so early, are you sick?"
"No, I don't know either. He is said to be Euan's old friend...I have no impression at all."
At this time, Euan walked out of the clinic and said, "Carly, it's time for you to go to work."
Perhaps because he heard the conversation between the two, he gestured towards Wei En to help persuade him.
Wei En nodded slightly and looked towards the clinic intentionally or unintentionally. Compared with the little conflict between father and daughter, he was more concerned about the people hiding in the clinic.
But obviously, now is not the right time.
At the same time, Wei En also had some doubts about Euan. Could it be that he and the people on the Black Pearl were in the same group?
"I understand, let's go?" Carly glanced at him and stood with Wayne and the others.
"Goodbye, Uncle Euan."
"Carly, stay safe. And Wayne, don't hold back." Youan waved to several people with a smile on his face.
Wayne: "..."
However, he just curled his lips and didn't respond. The moment he turned around, his mental perception reached the clinic, but was blocked by a barrier.
Gee, such a secret?
Wayne had some bad premonitions. The people from the Black Pearl left the Basil Block...could it be said that they were about to start?
Watching a few people walking out of the golden street, the smile on Youan's face slowly disappeared, "You shouldn't have come here so early in the morning."
A tall figure walked out of the back of the clinic. He looked in the direction where Wei En and others left, "I just came to say hello while I have time. By the way..."
"I've already done what I promised you!" Euan raised his hand to interrupt: "As for the rest, I don't care."
"Oh? You don't even care about the big crisis involving the entire Custer city-state?"
Euan turned to look at him and said indifferently: "Are you sure you want to anger me? Black Jack."
"Of course not...Oh, don't be angry, I was just joking."
Black Jack looked into the clinic and cursed in his mind: You can't even deal with a skeleton warrior, and you still want to develop the Vazquez clan?
"Don't show up in Custer in the future, otherwise - I will kill you!"
"Of course, of course."
Black Jack grinned. I'm afraid you might want to kill me later.
"But I still want to remind you..."
After Wei En and the others left Golden Street, he noticed something strange about the people on the street.
Most of them held a newspaper in their hands, and three or two people gathered together, either worried or excitedly discussing something.
This made Wei En couldn't help but become curious.
"... I didn't expect that the Parliament has done so many bad things over the years. No wonder the data released before shows that the number of polluted people in the city-state is increasing year by year."
"Can't we just blame the council?"
"What? After reading the contents of this newspaper, do you still believe that the adults in the parliament are busy protecting us?"
"Exactly! Do you see what it says?"
"During Governor Samir's tenure, the number of polluters in the first year was only 322, but so far this year, 4,533 aberrations have been dealt with..."
"There is also this. Some people at the top of the parliament made the decision to change the core array without authorization, causing the array to stop functioning..."
Is the city-state magic circle going to be deactivated?
Wei En didn't care what the city-state governor and parliament had done, but if the magic circle stopped functioning, it might have something to do with the people in the Nightless City.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but buy a newspaper and read it.
"Details of the ten sins of Archon Samir!"
"Parliament, the murderers!"
"It is strongly recommended that Samir step down and appoint a new consul!"
"..."
Wayne looked through the articles published in the newspaper. Each article contained various negative news about the Custer City-State Council. The words were sharp, as if Custer would completely disappear if the council was not eliminated.
He looked at other newspapers, Qiyue Newspaper, Trade Union Newspaper, Church Weekly, and even the Parliament's own Parliament Gazette...
What to do?
Ready for a new Archon?
Noble?...
"What's wrong?" Carly also heard other people's discussions and asked.
"The city-state magic circle is going to be closed," Wei En didn't explain much, speeding up his pace a little and rushing towards the Secret Adjustment Department, "However, something big is probably going to happen."
When he saw the sacrifice ceremony of the Abyss Sect last night, he had a premonition that big changes were about to happen in the city of Custer.
Unexpectedly, before those disgusting deep evil dogs arrived, other changes occurred within the city-state.
Not long after, Wei En and the other three came to the office.
"Hey, good morning." Seeing them come in, Lacey greeted them with a smile, seemingly unaware of what was happening outside.
"Captain," Wei En took out the newspaper and spread it out in front of her, "something happened, the city-state magic circle!"
"Oh, you're talking about this?"
Lacey glanced at it and said, "I already know everything."
"Um?"
"Sili had already issued the notice in the morning, eh."
"notify?"
Wayne and Carly looked at each other, then he picked up the notice and read it.
"Notice, in view of the current high-level situation in Custer City State, the Secret Service Department hereby makes an announcement."
"Don't express any opinions, don't take sides, and don't participate in any form of struggle at the top of the city-state!"
"This announcement is for all of the Secret Adjustment Department. If anyone does not follow the announcement, he will be deemed to have left the Secret Adjustment Department automatically!"
"In addition, following the order of the new director-general Neefa Letitia Ellis, starting from today, everyone will be on standby and ready to respond to emergencies at any time."
That's it?
Wei En thought there would be a notice from the Secret Adjustment Department about the city-state magic circle, but it turned out to be a statement?
Not participating in the struggle at the top of the city-state... What the hell, is now the time to talk about this?
"That, Lacey,"
Wei En carefully considered his words and asked: "While the city-state magic circle is inactive, if there are some crises, such as a third-level disaster, is there a way to deal with it?"
"Level three disaster?"
Lacey looked at him and said meaningfully: "If a crisis of that level really occurs, it is definitely not something that our Secret Adjustment Department will consider."
Wei En didn't quite understand what she meant. Could it be that the Secret Service already knew that this crisis was caused by the nobles and was preparing to mess it up?
"I still think it's better to prepare in advance."
"Just wait with peace of mind, things will come to an end soon." Lacey waved her hand, indicating that he could relax.
hope so……
Wei En sighed secretly, hoping that when the crisis comes, the top officials of the city-state can solve it.
"Huh? Where are Marco and the others?"
"They haven't arrived yet."
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Wayne noticed a flash of anger and gloom on Lacey's face when he heard him mention Marco.
Marco, Lydia…
Did the nobles take any action?
Wei En returned to his seat thoughtfully, always feeling that the reaction of the Secret Adjustment Department was too bland.
Now that the sacrifice ceremony of the Abyss Sect has been completed, the Black Pearl is still making arrangements in the Basil neighborhood, and the city-state magic circle in the Nightless City has also been unable to be activated normally.
By the way, there is also the Demonic Clown. Yesterday someone was trying to make him lose control...
Some of the things that are known show that the crisis that Custer will face now may exceed everyone's expectations!
Thinking of this, Wei En let out a sigh of relief. Since powerful people seemed indifferent, he would just wait patiently.
He wanted to see what was behind this matter!
…
…
As time passed, Wei En discovered some subtle changes in the entire Custer city-state.
As far as he could sense it, few people visited the major shops in the Dumitru neighborhood, and some shops were even closed.
People from the Idrisu neighborhood in the north were constantly heading toward the Ruhr neighborhood in the south, and many people also chose to enter the inner area of the church.
The city guards, who usually just went through the motions, were also fully armed today, with serious faces, guarding the entrances and exits of the core area.
The strangest thing is inside the Secret Adjustment Department. Some of the people I saw in the detention area yesterday were gathering at the war headquarters, as if they were preparing to carry out some mission.
It was not until lunch was approaching that Marco walked into the office that Wayne stopped monitoring the surroundings.
"Lacie, are you sure you don't want to stop me?" Marco asked with a cold face as soon as he arrived at the office.
Wei En was shocked. Sure enough, something happened that he didn't know about. What to stop?
"Stop it?" Lacey's face also darkened, "Do you think you can stop it?"
"But the Ernst family, the Serres family, the Mandel family... they have taken people to the parliament now!"
"Isn't it also including your Nascimento family?" Lacey glared at him, "Don't tell me, you don't know about this?"
Marco's face turned green and red, he snorted and returned to his desk, leaning back on the chair without saying a word.
Wei En frowned. Did the nobles go to the parliament?
Was it a showdown in the past?
"Um, can you tell me what's happening now?" Carly couldn't help but ask, looking confused.
Lacey held the newspaper and looked at it, "They are just a bunch of pretentious people who want to use conspiracy methods to achieve their goals."
"You mean those nobles?"
"Nobles? After today, will they still be nobles... not necessarily!"
boom!
"Lacey, your Montoya family clearly has the power to stop this!" Marco smashed the table, seemingly unable to suppress the anger in his heart any longer.
"Why stop it? Since some people want to die, wouldn't it be better to give them a ride?" Lacey's face grew colder.
"I……"
"Marco, since you have chosen to return to the Secret Brewing Department, stop thinking about those people!"
Marco was silent, and after a while, a wry smile appeared on his face.
"What if? If Lord Consul Samir doesn't compromise, do you know what will happen?"
"I only know that no matter what happens, the Ernst family will not succeed this time!" Lacey said firmly.
"you……"
Squeak.
At this time, the office door was pushed open, interrupting the argument between the two.
"Hey, I heard your voices from so far away. Are you quarreling?"
"Old Jack?!" Lacey and Marco looked at the visitor, and the anger on their faces turned to shock.
Wayne also looked at the door, Old Jack?
Is he the old captain from the previous investigation?
A tall, dark-skinned, gray-haired old man walked in. He was wearing a slightly worn uniform of the Secret Service Department, with a standard musket hanging on his waist.
"Long time no see, Lacey, Marco. And Tina, I always ignore your presence. Are there any newcomers? You guys are welcome too."
Wayne and Carly stood up and saluted. According to the rules of the Secret Service Department, retired people like old Jack must be respected by everyone.
"Old Jack, when did you come back?"
"I just came back not long ago." Old Jack smiled broadly. Although there were many wrinkles, his eyes were still very bright.
"Have you also heard about what happened in the city-state?"
"I'm not blind or deaf. How could I not know about such a big thing? And I came here this time because I was summoned by the Secretary."
Lacey's expression changed slightly, "Summoned by high-level officials? Has the situation reached this level of crisis?"
"Is it a crisis? You can say that."
"Hmph! Now you know I'm not joking, right?" Marco glanced at her, "Now that even retired people have been recalled, Si Li must have understood that the situation is urgent."
"If you ask me to go to the parliament immediately and stop those people, otherwise Custer City State will be in big trouble..."
"Shut up!"
Lacey glared at him, then looked at Old Jack and asked: "Are you alone this time, or?"
"Probably everything," Old Jack sat next to him and sighed, "I thought I could rest for a while, but I didn't expect such a big thing happened in the city-state, and Alais..."
"But this is fine. It's better to die on the battlefield than to die at home. Don't you think so?"
Lacey pursed her lips and asked dryly: "Then, those seals..."
"As you thought, the lockdown will probably be lifted."
"No, I'm going to find Yegor to find out." Lacey's face was no longer as calm as before, and it was obvious that things had gone beyond what she had previously understood.
"Don't go, it won't be long, right?"
As he spoke, Old Jack took out a wine bottle from his arms, opened it and took a sip, scanning the entire office intentionally or unintentionally from the corner of his eyes.
[You are scanned by Jack Kim Adros's mental perception. Evaluation: Do you need me to introduce this person to you? Reward: Survival Points +3. 】
[You are targeted by Jack Kim Adros’ murderous intent. Rating...Reward: Survival Points +30. 】
Jake Kim Adros?
Wei En's heart was shaken, and he quickly lowered his head and pretended to be deep in thought.
Isn't this name the sender of the letter found on Collins? !
Old Jack?
Why, I think we should call him Black Jack!
And, at 30 o’clock…
Thank you to Mr. Bakarakamiao for the reward. Thank you very much.
It’s a bit difficult to add more updates, but I’ll try my best!
