Chapter 80: The Ripple Effect of a Major Event, Scavenger [5k Subscription Request]

"Uncle Rabbit?" Zhang Xiaodao guessed the identity of the person who came, even though the other party was not in his true appearance now, but looked like a doorman of an unknown hotel.

"Well, did I come at the wrong time?" Lan Tu smiled, which was not much better than crying.

"No, you're here at the right time." Rorschach looked at him with a smile.

He was just worrying about how to deal with Gao Tianlin's body. After all, Shuilan Star is a society ruled by law. He didn't expect that a solution would be presented to him so easily.

After all, Lan Tu is a cadre of the Assassin's Organization Zoo. Who knows how to deal with corpses better than an assassin?

……

after an hour.

Under Lan Tu's skillful arrangement, Gao Tianlin's body has completely disappeared from the face of the earth. After all, the zoo has a mature and professional team in this regard.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you this time, Lord Lantu." Rorschach said with a smile.

"It's no trouble, it's no trouble. I should thank you for saving Xiaodao. If something really happened to her, I would not be able to face Lao Xiong even if I died in the future." Lan Tu waved her hands repeatedly to show that she was not worthy of the honor.

Lan Tu's words were not just politeness to Rorschach, but were a heartfelt thank you.

The fact that he traveled all the way to Longjiang City to help Zhang Xiaodao hold back Gao Tianlin, who was stronger than him, was enough to prove his attitude.

All I can say is that if he wasn't strong enough, it wouldn't have been Rorschach's turn to take action.

Rorschach: "About today..."

Before Luo Xia could finish his words, Lan Tu said, "Please rest assured. Before I asked people to clean up Gao Tianlin's body, I had already done some work in advance. No one can recognize who it is."

"Professionals are indeed different." Rorschach praised.

"But this may not be enough." Lan Tu took the initiative to analyze for Luo Xia. "After all, Gao Tianlin was the seventh gentleman of the Gentlemen's Club. If he died here, the Gentlemen's Club will not let it go. They will most likely send someone to investigate the cause of his death."

"You don't have to worry about this, Lord Lantu. Someone from their group will take responsibility for this matter, and they won't have time to worry about such trivial matters." Su Xueqi took the initiative to speak for her boss.

"Internal claim?" Lan Tu was a little unresponsive for a moment.

"Is that the man just now? Who is he?" Zhang Xiaodao experienced the whole process of what happened before, but she didn't know Abel. She just heard from the conversation between Abel and Rorschach that Abel should also be a member of the Gentlemen's Club.

"He is the third gentleman now, but it's hard to say what he will be like in the future," Rorschach said with a smile.

Abel, who has broken through the third state of the Walking Gods, is now on the same level as the First Gentleman. It is hard to say who is stronger.

But one thing is certain, that is, Abel is definitely better than the second gentleman now. Coupled with his reckless nature, Rorschach doesn't believe that the gentleman's club will not be in chaos in the future.

"The third gentleman?! How could the third gentleman..." Zhang Xiaodao blurted out, but halfway through he realized that this was not very polite.

"How could he think I was his master?" Rorschach finished the rest of her sentence for her and said with a smile, "If I say that he turned from evil to good and recognized me as his master because he discovered that I was actually the reincarnation of a god, would you believe it?"

"If you don't want to tell me, you don't have to." Zhang Xiaodao rolled his eyes, thinking that Rorschach was teasing him again.

However, these are not the main points for Lantu standing by.

Because he realized the key point of the topic just now. The notorious third gentleman in the gentleman's club actually recognized the man in front of him as his master? !
He is a ruthless character who is ten times more troublesome than Gao Tianlin!

Lan Tu, who had just recovered from the shock of Gao Tianlin being easily killed, fell into shock again, and was so shocked that he felt a little numb.

*********
As the number of replacers increases, the major events that take place in the Gray Domain are bound to cause waves on the Blue Water Planet.

This is especially true after the recent incident involving the remnants of the evil god in the Mountain Capital. After all, it is one of the four capitals of the Storm Empire and is not just any city.

Although the Replacers were not aware of the core information of the incident, they at least witnessed the horror of the remnants of the evil god, who were able to mobilize so many fourth-state bishops equivalent to gold level at the same time to invade a capital city.

This also opened the eyes of many exchangers, and they felt for the first time what the power of gold is!

However, as this explosive event spread, another piece of information also spread along with it.

The third gentleman in the gentlemen's club was actually conquered by someone!
He was a mysterious replacer codenamed Salted Fish, with unfathomable strength. Even when facing the eight-winged envoy of the Wings of Freedom, the Tyrannosaurus Perez, he was able to remain calm and easily forced the opponent back.

In addition, Perez's violation of the rules of the Seven Colors Salon and his unauthorized use of force in the salon also caused a lot of discussion.

The direction of the discussion was indeed pretty much what Perez had expected, with the focus being on the identity of the third gentleman cultist.

It can only be said that Abel's reputation in the Free Alliance is really bad, so even though it was Perez who broke the rules first, there are still many people who think that Perez's behavior is justifiable.

However, the public opinion storm finally came to an end when Ren Yan, the captain of the 7th Brigade of Yanlong, applied to the Supreme Arbitration Court under his real name to demand a trial for Perez.

Because anyone with a discerning eye could see that after Yanlong got involved, this matter would definitely not be able to be left unresolved.

Even if the Liberty Wings want to keep Perez, the Supreme Arbitration is relatively fair in most cases.

Even though the 'X Organization', which is close to the Wings of Freedom, might show some leniency, the other five organizations would not take sides in such a matter.

Therefore, the final result of Perez's trial was to pay 30 million free dollars in compensation plus one year of confinement!
Thirty million free coins are equivalent to two hundred million Yan coins.

During this year, Perez is not allowed to step out of the confinement area. If he violates this regulation, he will be charged with a more serious crime and will be tried again.

As for the 30 million free coins as compensation, they will naturally be paid to the third gentleman Abel, and if Abel does not accept it, it will be donated to a charity fund.

Freedom Wings will definitely admit the penalty in the end. After all, the Supreme Arbitration is an order jointly maintained by the seven major parties. If they really refuse to admit it, the basis for cooperation among the seven major parties will be gone in the future.

It's not worth it for Wings of Liberty to do this just for Perez.

However, after suffering such a huge loss, Liberty Wings certainly didn't want to let it go. They secretly threatened that sooner or later the third gentleman Abel and the mysterious replacement behind him, Xianyu, would pay the price for this. However, not long after these words were released, another piece of news quickly spread -

The young master of the Rodrigo family also announced to the public that Xianyu is his friend, and anyone who wants to deal with Xianyu must be prepared for his revenge!

The sudden entry of a third party immediately caused the Freedom Alliance to explode again, because the person who made the statement this time was obviously intimidating enough!
As one of the seven largest organizations, Wings of Liberty is indeed a big and powerful organization that is not easy to mess with.

But is the Rodrigo family easy to mess with?

Not to mention their transcendent status in the Free Alliance, the Demon Spirit Society alone is no less intimidating than the Wings of Liberty.

Therefore, the topic of salted fish soon lost its popularity.

Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that this matter has risen to the level of a fight between gods, and ordinary swappers are not qualified to participate at all.

However, few people know that Xianyu, the mysterious replacer involved, is currently on his way to the Free Alliance as a tourist.

……

"Brother, do you want to join the guild?"

"?"

In response to the question asked by the shifty-eyed guy sitting next to him, a virtual question mark appeared above Rorschach's head.

He was now at an altitude of ten thousand meters, on a plane flying directly from Longjiang City to the Freedom Alliance, and the shifty-eyed fellow next to him had noticed him shortly after he got on the plane.

Because this guy is also a swapper, but a weaker one, just at the Black Iron level, and the bloodline of the fused blood is also very ordinary, one of the bloodlines that you can tell from the name is not very powerful.

Rorschach originally had no intention of having anything to do with the other party, because at this stage he no longer needed to rely on contacting other substitutes to gather intelligence. Both Su Xueqi's intelligence network and Abel's experience were enough.

But what he didn't expect was that while he didn't touch the other person, the other person took the initiative to touch him?

He even suspected that this guy had recognized the wrong person.

Seeing Rorschach's puzzled look, the man with shifty eyes leaned close to Rorschach's ear and whispered, "Brother, you are that too, right?" "Huh?" Rorschach raised his eyebrows and did not answer directly.

"I'm not trying to trick you. I'm also a Displacer." The man with shifty eyes lowered his voice even more. "Don't be nervous. I'm not here to cause you any trouble. I don't know you. It just so happens that my ability can sense unusual fluctuations around me. You can think of it as a human Displacer detector."

"Is it so magical?" Rorschach actually already believed it.

"It's just so magical!" said the man with shifty eyes, "Let's get to know each other, buddy. You can call me 'Beifeng', but this is not my real name. You should understand, buddy, right?"

"Of course." Rorschach nodded.

Although the other party's real name had already appeared in his eyes, since the other party introduced himself with a code name, he naturally followed suit:
"Just call me Salted Fish."

"My friend, your code name is really casual. It's easy to remember, but it's not cool. Do you want me to help you come up with one? I guarantee it will be cool!" The man with shifty eyes recommended himself in a familiar and sad way.

"No, I'm used to it and I'm too lazy to change it." Rorschach shook his head.

"Okay, just get used to it." Bei Feng didn't force it, and then asked, "What I said before, brother Xianyu, would you please consider it?"

"What did you say before?" Rorschach then remembered that the first thing the other party said to him was "Will you join the guild?" He immediately asked, "Which guild will you join?"

"To be honest, I am actually responsible for recruiting new members for the organization. My ability is indeed useless in actual combat, but this is the 21st century, and we should make the best use of everything." Bei Feng continued, "The welfare benefits of our organization are absolutely amazing, and we have good relations with all major forces."

"As long as you are willing to join us, your future will definitely be bright. Not only will you be able to meet many powerful exchangers, you can even deal with the Seven Majors..."

Beifeng introduced the product very enthusiastically, like a gold medal salesman.

Obviously, he should be a stand-in and receive a very generous commission for every new person the organization brings in.

But this is understandable. As he said, making the best use of things is the best strategy. Even if it doesn't work well in actual combat, there will always be some shining points.

"So which organization do you represent?" Rorschach asked.

"Scavengers!" Bei Feng finally said the name of the organization, "We have cooperated with various Replacement Organizations, including the Big Seven!"

"..."

Fortunately, Rorschach didn't drink the water, otherwise he might have sprayed it out.

Because he did know about the Replacement Organization called the Cleaners. How should he describe it? If he had to describe it simply, this organization has actually only been doing one thing - cleaning the floor!
They do have some cooperation with various replacer organizations and even the Big Seven, but the content of these cooperations is all related to whitewashing.

The process includes but is not limited to handling corpses, post-event work, information filtering, etc., which is indeed an indispensable thing on the Blue Water Planet.

Only a very small number of organizations like zoos, which have their own professional teams to do this, have not reached relevant cooperation with scavengers.

The overall strength of the scavengers is not strong. Even their leader is just an ordinary bronze level. His strength may not even be as good as Gao Tianlin. But because they do a job that everyone needs, generally no one will target them for no reason.

Bei Feng noticed that Luo Xia's expression was a little strange, and immediately said: "It seems that Brother Xianyu has heard about our organization, right? I know that the work we do may sound a little low-class, but it is safe!"

"With our resources and connections, we can help you survive more smoothly, whether here or in the Gray Region."

"Anyway, brother Xianyu, you should think about it carefully. It is fate that we met on this plane. Recently, even the Blue Water Planet has become more and more dangerous. It is easy to suffer great losses without a force to rely on."

"I know my words may sound alarmist, but honest advice is always unpleasant to the ears. If you are really interested, brother Xianyu, I can introduce our boss to you later." Beifeng patted his chest and said.

"Is your boss on the plane too?" Rorschach asked.

"Yes, but he bought an economy class ticket, so we can only see him when we get off the plane later." Beifeng nodded.

"?"

A question mark appeared above Rorschach's head again.

Because he and Beifeng are now in business class, he would have bought economy class before, but now he is being kept by a rich woman named Su.

Although he didn't let Su Xueqi come with him this time, Su Xueqi took care of everything including ticket booking, so he didn't need to worry about it.

What confuses him is that for most non-newbies, there are always various ways to make money.

Even if I can't become a millionaire instantly, the money for a business class seat is really nothing. What's going on with that boss Beifeng?

Although the Scavenger Organization does dirty and tiring work, it is also a well-known organization in the Replacer circle. Logically speaking, it cannot be short of money. Just by cooperating with so many Replacer organizations, it will not lose money.

"I can't help it. This is just his habit. Making him spend unnecessary money is more painful than killing him." Beifeng explained with a shrug.

Obviously he didn't understand this terrible desire for economy.

"Okay, I understand." Rorschach nodded to show his understanding.

It’s like some old people who used to be poor, and even though they have become well-off later on, they still can’t change their habit of picking up waste and selling it.

This is a habit that is deeply rooted in the heart and cannot be guessed by common sense.

After the first round of communication, Rorschach did not give Beifeng an answer, and Beifeng did not continue to try to persuade Rorschach.

He had only made a tentative invitation, and it was Rorschach's freedom to accept it or not.

The two of them took this opportunity to get to know each other better, gossiping about everything from the Blue Water Star to the Gray Domain, which successfully helped Rorschach kill a lot of boring time.

Through chatting with Beifeng, Rorschach also realized that for a replacer of Beifeng's level, the information they knew was actually quite outdated.

For example, Beifeng knew nothing about the recent Mountain Capital event that has been very popular in the entire Replacer circle, let alone him, a "salted fish".

So when he said his code name was Salted Fish, Bei Feng felt nothing, and even felt that the code name was too uncool... because the meaning represented by this name was not at the level that Bei Feng could reach at all.

Of course, Rorschach didn't really care about this.

He used the code name Xianyu just because he was too lazy to come up with a new name. It didn't matter to him whether Beifeng knew the meaning of this code name.

What's more, the appearance and identity he used this time were not his own, so he was not afraid of his identity being leaked.

Speaking of which, this is all thanks to Lantu's help.

As a cadre of the zoo, Lan Tu is famous for his many facets. Naturally, he is very well prepared in disguise and identity. Even Su Xueqi, the head of the Guituimo branch, is not as good as him in this respect.

With the help of Lan Tu, Luo Xia easily left Dayan with a new identity.

"We're finally here. Come on, brother Xianyu. I'll take you to meet my boss first. Even if you don't plan to join us, it's okay to get to know him." As soon as the plane landed, Beifeng couldn't wait to introduce Luo Xia, the newly discovered replacer, to his boss.

"Row."

Luo Xia, who had already promised Bei Feng, naturally would not refuse.

After killing Gao Tianlin, the huge stone that was weighing on his heart was finally lifted, so that he no longer had to be on edge all the time on both sides.

This time he didn't let Su Xueqi follow him, and he really wanted to relax alone. This little episode with Beifeng really made his journey more interesting.

"Boss, this way——"

Beifeng was waving from afar at a middle-aged man in old-fashioned clothes. This middle-aged man had a very standard square face, which was unique to the people of Dayan, and had a temperament that often appeared on news channels.

When Luo Xia saw the other person, he quickly determined that this was the leader of the scavengers and also the boss of Beifeng.
