Chapter 307 Russell: I have plenty of connections
In addition to being a first-level researcher in the Demon Army, Jacques is also an Emerald-level card maker.
Yes, he is a real human being.
However, when he was born, the area where he lived had already been occupied by the demon army.
Therefore, he had no sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty at all. After all, it was the Demon Army that had provided him with food, clothing and shelter for a long time, and even the materials for him to embark on the path of becoming a card maker were provided by the Demon Army.
All these treatments reached their peak after he demonstrated his talent as a researcher.
Jacques certainly knew that once this world perished, he would become a homeless dog.
But he didn't care. Anyway, the demon army had already promised him that they would find a way to transform him into their compatriot.
So in his opinion, the ideas of the older generation of uncles, aunts and cousins around him were ridiculous. They still hoped that the Ming Dynasty would be able to fight back one day.
What a joke. If that day really comes, he will just eat ten tons.
Jacques even secretly reported some of his elders for having secret dealings with the Northern Garrison Army, because they wanted to destroy everything he had worked so hard to gain.
Of course, no one knew that he was the one who did these things. He always pretended to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty in front of his family.
This was not to maintain the relationship, but simply to see if there were any other elders who had an affair with Daming, including his parents.
"Carry it down."
After wiping the blood off his hands, Jacques casually spoke to the limb-transplanting wizard standing beside him, asking him to carry the fresh corpse of the Ming man off the operating table.
Then he ordered his men to clean the operating room and walked out.
Hanging his bloodstained white coat on the wall, Jacques couldn't help but stretch his stiff muscles and muttered to himself, "What a tough job."
"I really want to return to the army as soon as possible."
As he spoke, he recalled the news he had received not long ago.
"That guy Cliff was captured by the Northern Guards."
"And Lady Ruth actually fell into the hands of an Emerald-level card maker. How unbelievable..."
Jacques didn't know what words to use to describe these two people.
Thinking of the news about that man's appearance from the army, he couldn't help but curl his lips.
What about Russell and Hu Su? In the end, they all ran away in disgrace under the power of the military leader.
If it were him, he would never be so careless and underestimate the enemy.
Thinking of this, he asked the Guiyi sect member beside him: "What's the situation in the city now? Is the association still hunting down our people?"
The man bowed his head respectfully and replied, "My Lord, the Association's lackeys are now busy dealing with the invading Holy Spirit, so they have no time to pay attention to us."
"Is that so?" Jacques nodded thoughtfully, then a wicked smile appeared on his face. "Then let's go get some experimental materials. The ones we caught earlier are almost used up."
"Yes!"
Despite the assassination attempt, it didn't take Russell and Choi Dae-ju long to reach Jeju.
After showing their credentials to the staff at the Jeju Card Makers Association headquarters, a jade-level female card maker with a very tired look hurried up to the two of them.
"Lord Luo, Lord Cui, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"I am Huo Jing, the vice president of the Jeju Card Artists Association."
After entering Jeju, Russell and the others could clearly feel the heavy atmosphere in the city, and with their eyesight they could also see black smoke rising from the south of the city from time to time.
Judging from the current situation, Jeju is only slightly better than Ande.
However, since two groups of mobile force teams were tripped up one after another, the situation in the city must not be as simple as it appears on the surface.
"President Huo, you are too polite. The situation is urgent so let's not exchange pleasantries. Please introduce the situation to us first."
Russell interrupted Huo Jing's polite words.
Hearing him say this, the woman gave a bitter smile, then turned around and led the two to the reception room: "I am being hypocritical."
"Now the secret realm in the south has been completely invaded."
"If it was just an ordinary Emerald-level secret realm, we wouldn't have had such a hard time. The problem is that there are a lot of Emerald-level secret realms."
Russell and the others had already learned about the situation in Jeju from the mission intelligence before they arrived.
However, the intelligence only stated that an emerald-level secret realm had descended upon the city, and that the Guiyi Sect had been secretly causing trouble, which had held up the two teams.
Now after hearing that there was a problem with the emerald-level secret realm, Russell was not too surprised. Combined with the information provided by Gulan, he was afraid that there would be more and more such secret realms on Blue Star in the future.
After all, other worlds may also have super-standard professions such as card makers, such as modelers and mechanics.
"Now almost all the strength of the association is used to deal with those invading demons." Huo Jing continued, "The reason why we asked the headquarters for help is that we hope you two can help us deal with the Guiyi Sect in the city."
Hearing this, Russell understood. No wonder the headquarters sent their team to Jeju even though there were other teams at the headquarters. The reason should be related to his own experience.
First, he dealt with the Guiyi Sect in Donglai, and then joined the Northern Defense Army. The entire mobile force is probably unique.
With this in mind, Russell asked casually, "Has the Guiyi Sect made any moves recently?"
Hearing this, Huo Jing shook her head slightly: "It's been almost half a month since their last big move, and they haven't caused any trouble during this period."
"But every time they show up, they kidnap many ordinary people and low-level card makers. If they continue like this, I'm afraid..."
You must know that the people of Jeju were already in panic due to the invasion of the secret realm, and now the actions of Guiyi Sect are undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
After figuring out the current situation in Jeju, Russell and Choi Dae-joo looked at each other and nodded slightly: "I understand, leave it to us."
Although he said so, he actually had no better solution. It seemed that he could only wait for the other party to reveal his flaws. Of course, Russell also had another option, which was to ask the members of the Jeju Begging Spirit Association if they had any clues.
As an illegal organization, there is a high probability that those who are trying to sneak around will be able to catch some of them.
Late at night, Russell was sitting cross-legged on the bed playing with the [handset].
As one of the strongest men in Jeju City today, he doesn't have to worry about exposing his identity.
Even if someone saw it, others would just think it was his unique prop card.
[Six: Tell me the information about the Guiyi Church in Jeju.]
【Zhuang Cheng: It’s Master Liu.】
On the other side, an ordinary middle-aged man trembled all over after hearing the news from the [sub-machine].
He never dreamed that such a big shot in the association would contact him.
Soon, he sent the information about Guiyi Sect that he had collected in recent days to Russell.
【Six: Don’t tell anyone about what happened today.】
After using Jinping's contract to constrain himself, Russell began to look through the information sent by the other party.
Not long after, he put away the [sub-phone] and muttered to himself: "Abandoned hospital?"
The information sent by Zhuang Cheng said that one of his low-level card makers lived near an abandoned hospital east of Jeju, and he noticed that there had been occasional disappearances in the area in recent days.
However, considering that the latest Emerald-level secret realm was in the south, they initially thought that ordinary people had fled their homes because of the threat of demons.
After all, this kind of thing happens all over Jeju, so there's nothing to be surprised about.
This is also one of the reasons why the association has been slow to discover any trace of Guiyi Sect.
Now that they are distracted by the secret realm, they have no time to conduct a thorough investigation.
But the low-level card maker later discovered that this was not the case.
Although the other party acted very covertly, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. After a month or two, even a fool would know that something was wrong.
Sure enough, he finally found traces of the limb-reattaching demon at the scene.
"No matter whether it is or not, let's take Brother Cui to have a look first."
This thought flashed through Russell's mind, and then he got up and went to the next room to wake up Cui Dazhu who was meditating.
"Let's go, Brother Cui, I have a clue."
"?"
The big man, who had just woken up from meditation, was confused, but in the end he didn't ask anything and followed Russell obediently.
But even if he asked, Russell would only attribute the clues to his own card abilities.
In the slightly eerie abandoned hospital, Jacques was sitting bored on the shabby office chair in the director's office.
In front of him were several demons and a limb-jointing monster.
"Master Jacques, we have already captured the person. Would you like to go and see his quality?"
Hearing this, Jacques waved his hand and said, "No need to do that. Just classify them according to the previous labels so that I can use them in my experiments later."
"By the way, what is the current condition of Experiment No. 3?"
He was sent here by the demon army naturally for an experimental mission, and he had no complaints about it.
After all, he didn't feel bad about using Ming people for experiments, and he could also cause trouble in the rear of the Northern Defense Army to attract the other side's attention. Why not do it?
Not only him, but also other researchers who were sent to the rear were like this.
And the research tasks that every researcher carries out have only one thing in common, that is, they have not been successful yet.
You must know that every successful experiment is a treasure in the demon army, and they are reluctant to let the Ming Dynasty take it away for nothing.
Hearing Jacques' question, a demon stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, the condition of Experiment No. 3 has now stabilized, and riots like before have rarely occurred."
Just as Jacques was about to say something, he suddenly looked out the window: "Huh?"
A sudden aura of terror unscrupulously announced its presence in the dark night.
"Tsk, exposed?"
Jacques curled his lips in annoyance, then looked at the members of the Guiyi Sect in front of him who were looking at each other as if they were facing a great enemy: "Go and release all the experimental subjects."
"I stopped it"
Before he could finish his words, a slender pale hand had already passed through the wall and pinched his head.
"What are you stopping?"
At this time, Jacques could barely see the face of the person through his fingers.
He is a young man surrounded by several cards.
Looking at the young man's face shining in the moonlight, Jacques' pupils constricted.
"Oh? It seems you know me."
"That'll be easy."
