Chapter 29 Scapegoat

The plane landed, raising a cloud of dust on the runway, and stopped over the most crowded area.

"What's going on? What's going on!"

Luca felt a little frightened. He looked at the crowd outside and asked in a trembling voice, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Both sides of the airport runway were crowded with people, some were singing and dancing, and others were raising guns and firing into the sky. The scene did look a bit scary.

“They’re celebrating!”

"Celebrating what?"

"Celebrate that I killed the target!"

Gao Yi boarded the plane and said calmly, "Don't disturb their celebration, let's go!"

The plane door closed and turned around on the runway. A group of people waved at the plane. When the plane flew back into the sky, Luca collapsed on the chair as if exhausted. He said, "Let me see the evidence you took. Tell me how you did it."

"I have submitted the evidence."

Luca was a little surprised. He blinked and then asked in confusion, "What do you mean by already submitted?"

"It means it has been submitted. I thought I was doomed, so I rushed into the hotel and chose to submit the evidence. This way, even if I die, the bounty will go to you, and no one else will take advantage of it."

Luca was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't understand. You have been worried that I would take the reward for myself, but in the end you took the initiative to submit the evidence."

Gao Yi said calmly, "I told you I would pay you back. The situation was very dangerous at the time. I knew I would die if I took action, but I would rather die than give you back the money."

Gao Yi couldn't say that he chose to take action because he was too reckless. Anyway, Luca would never know the truth of the matter, so of course he had to demonstrate his integrity.

I don’t know if Luca was really moved, but at least Luca did seem a little moved at this moment.

Gao Yi took out his cell phone, handed it to Luca and said, "Take a look."

The page stayed at the time when the evidence was uploaded and waiting for review, which at least showed that Gao Yi did choose to upload the evidence.

Luca took the phone, turned it on, and saw the scene of Gao Yi taking action.

The scene in which he walked through the corpses all over the ground, pulled over Gray Horace who was lying on the table, and chopped him on the neck with an axe was extremely clear, and the camera froze for a moment.

"It's okay, absolutely okay. There's no signal here. Maybe the bounty has already been sent."

Luca was very surprised, but after he finished speaking, he changed the subject and said, "It looks like there are a lot of people here. Did you kill the target just like that?"

"Eight, two more in the backyard, and at least thirty people outside. I was thinking at the time, I would rather die than give you the money, so don't worry about how many people there are, just do it first."

Gao Yi finished speaking calmly. He pointed to the body lying on the ground next to Gray on the phone and whispered, "Two CIA guys, there's no other way. We can only kill them at the same time. Is that okay?"

With a click, the phone fell on the cabin deck. Gao Yi quickly picked up the phone, then he looked at Luca with a confused look on his face and said, "CIA..." "Yeah."

Luca said dully, "Two?"

"Yes, it is because of the protection of the CIA that the target is so difficult to kill."

Luka covered his face with his hands and sighed heavily.

"is that OK?"

"What do you think?"

Luca asked back. He took his hands off his face and said with a look of tears: "Brother, you first killed two assassins from the Andek Group, and now you have killed two CIA people. The target can die, but the CIA people..."

"I can't help it. It's just something I need to ask you."

Gao Yi also became serious. After thinking for a moment, he whispered, "Last night, the two CIA people took a picture of my face with something like a tablet. I know they are doing facial recognition, but will they take a picture of me? Will I be entered into their database?"

Luca thought for a moment and shook his head. "No, it's normal for the CIA to perform facial recognition on you. They have a huge database. If it is connected to the immigration system, they can find out whether you are an American citizen or have applied for a US visa. However, the CIA database usually only contains people they are concerned about, such as terrorists, assassins whose identities have been exposed, and mercenaries. If you have already been included in the CIA database, then a comparison will show it."

“What I care about is whether or not I get recorded.”

"No, the CIA can't possibly enter every person captured by the camera into the database. That's impossible. Only well-known mercenary groups or well-known local separatist forces are likely to be included. A newcomer like you who hasn't even entered the industry will certainly not be checked."

Luca's explanation made Gao Yi feel a little relieved, but Luca still said with a sad face: "But two CIA people died here, and the United States will definitely come to investigate, so there is a high possibility that you will enter the CIA's field of vision, man, you...you are in trouble."

"What if someone admits to killing the target?"

Luca was stunned again, and then he asked in astonishment: "What do you mean?"

"There is a consumable, the one I told you about. He is willing to admit that he killed the target. He is a member of the Plunderer Mercenary Group, but he was betrayed, so he is very angry."

Gao Yi smiled, and then he whispered: "I didn't want to say it at first, but I couldn't help it in the end, so I told this consumable that there were two CIAs among the people I killed. Then, he decided to use the name of the Predator Mercenary Group to admit that he killed the target, enter a local armed force, and seize the power vacuum left after the target's death."

Luca raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute, you found a scapegoat and made him willing to actively attract the attention of the CIA?"

"Yes, don't call him a scapegoat, that's too harsh, he was willing to do it."

"Is there something wrong with him? Is his brain broken?"

"Basically, he doesn't have any brains. The thing is, the Plunderer Mercenary Group asked him to come for reconnaissance because there are only Chinese people here and he doesn't attract much attention. Then, after he told the leader of the Plunderer last night, the Plunderer decided to sell him. They asked the target for $100,000, and the target gave him $10,000, and he was sold."

Luca exhaled slowly and said, "Sell the consumables and make some money by recycling the waste. This is what a plunderer can do..."

Before he finished speaking, Luca pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "The dark web will not announce who completed the task. I originally planned to make it public. This task is very famous, but now I have to give up. I also spread the word that the predator took this task. Good, very good, the predator is dead, and we have a scapegoat. We are safe."
