Chapter 497 110. Voodoo Gang and Planning
"It's been a long time since we last met, Mr. KK."

It had been some time since Carl last saw this network monitor. When he saw him again, he had to say that from the appearance, this network monitor had not changed much.

"We haven't seen each other for a while."

Carl looked around at the scenery.

Taiping Prefecture is still the same Taiping Prefecture.

This statement that often appears on morning TV is not false. Even though the Animal Gang has been in the Grand Empire Shopping Mall for some time and has made some renovations everywhere, this shopping mall standing in Taiping State still looks so deserted against the backdrop of the surrounding scenery. Obviously, the reconstruction of one place alone cannot bring much vitality and glory to this abandoned place.

If Carl was a native of Taiping State, perhaps he could have considered becoming a congressman to save Taiping State. However, he was just a mercenary who came to carry out a mission, so the lonely scenery of Taiping State could not leave much impression in his heart except for the small feelings in his heart.

The place where Carl was going on this mission was one of the few places where people gathered in Taiping State, but only Haitians were welcome there.

"Voodoo Gang."

The network monitor stood in the cinema screening room in the Great Empire Mall, using this abandoned cinema that he had renovated and reactivated to play the information he wanted the KK team to see:
“The gang, estimated to number between 50 and 250, is based in the coastal area of ​​Taiping and is notorious for its cunning cyber-hacking skills and mysterious voodoo practices;
The gang members are almost all Haitians, and they exclude any non-Haitian outsiders. They mainly rely on criminal hacking operations to operate in cyberspace. I think you are all very clear about this information. "

"good."

Jack folded his hands and said, "Go ask people on the street. You can probably find one person out of ten who just arrived and doesn't know much."

"Ah."

The network monitor didn't care too much and continued to play the video data: "In short, they are a group of dangerous people who are involved in the Black Wall visit and trying to explore the future world. The main area they are currently in is a Haitian living area in Taiping State. If we want to do something to them in reality, we must first consider how to find their hands and feet in the gathering place where Haitians are the majority and outsiders are excluded."

As he spoke, the network monitor waved his hands a few times, and the objects projected on the movie flickered, soon revealing a bird's-eye view.

“This place is”

V looked at it for a few times. He had memorized all the streets in Night City while running missions everywhere, so he recognized the place:

"The Quiet Bible Church in Sloane Street?"

Oliver also had some impression of that place: "I seem to have heard someone mention it. Isn't that a Christian church? That's where the voodoo gang, the voodoo believers, are?"

Voodoo, also known as Vodou, is a religion that originated in West Africa and gradually spread to Haiti along with the sale of black slaves during the triangular trade in the 16th century. Its form is a bit like a mixture of ancestor worship, animism and spiritualism. Its doctrines are not completely different from Christianity, but they are definitely not related at all. The Christian places are also the gathering places of Voodoo gangs, which sounds absurd.

"Are those voodoo believers going to make the sign of the cross to praise the Catholics for sending their ancestors to this foreign land?" Oliver's statement, which clearly showed little faith, was explained by Jack:

"That's just from the outside. I had the opportunity to see it once. From the outside, it looks like a fairly standard Christian church, but the decoration inside is completely different from the appearance. If you don't know it's a church, you might think you've entered a nightclub if you go in.
The style inside looked very strange, with dim surroundings and occasional brilliant lights, and a black-skinned spokesperson standing on the stage in the middle, surrounded by a group of people, muttering doctrines on the stage, looking like a singing stripper. "

There was obviously a hint of irony in Jack's words. It was unlikely that Jack, who believed in Catholicism integrated with local Mexican culture, would have any good feelings towards the Voodoo Gang.

"I don't have any impression of this aspect, but I do know a little about the reason why Voodoo does this. It seems to be due to racial prejudice and discrimination. Voodoo is considered a cult by the mainstream view, which is probably similar to Jack's attitude towards them. So they learned to disguise themselves and package the appearance and shape of their doctrines to be like Catholicism, and then implement their doctrines inside. Now it seems that the building is probably of a similar type."

Carl also added a sentence, and with everyone in the KK team talking one after another, the general situation had already been analyzed without the network monitor even saying anything. This made the network monitor, who was used to hiring people who had no brains and had to tell him how to do everything, a little stunned.

He forgot that the KK team is not an animal gang.

For the KK team, rewards and intelligence are very important. At certain moments, as long as the former accounts for a large enough proportion, the latter, the KK team can fully exert its own autonomy and initiative. What it is demonstrating in front of the network monitor now is this initiative.

"No wonder according to the information I found, when the team's mission completion rate is 100%, the employer's favorable review rate is 100%. That's why."

It’s so worry-free.

"so."

Carl summarized: "That church is where Haitians, or people who believe in voodoo, gather. The voodoo gang members are all there. We need to act covertly and cause trouble for the voodoo gang leaders, but we don't know where the voodoo gang's secret base is. So where should we start from?"

"That's about it. Mr. KK, you guys gave a very good analysis. I don't have anything to add."

The network monitor said: "We know the general location of the Voodoo Gang members, but they have been hiding the real hiding places of their senior members very well. They are very vigilant in cyberspace. I have not been able to find their traces yet, so I can only carry out physical attacks;

If we want to find their top brass in reality, conduct covert operations, and physically strike them before they escape, it is obviously not possible to rely on the Animal Gang, so I can only ask Mr. KK to assist me."

"OK, I understand this job."

Carl nodded.

To put it simply, find the traces, go to the door, and kill them before they escape.

It's very easy.
