Facing Su Mo's question, Qi Ling shook her head: "I've never been to Borderlands, why do you suddenly ask this?"

Su Mo sighed softly, leaned into Qi Ling's arms and said, "I'm suddenly a little annoyed with Crescent City. There are so many complicated forces and so many inexplicable rules."

"Now I can understand why many people go to the Borderlands to form their own armed forces outside the Great Wall. Because it is very pure there, and everyone takes life and death lightly. They just do whatever they don't accept. It is indeed much more comfortable than being in the human territory."

Qi Ling: "There is something in your words."

Su Mo: "I was just thinking about the future. I was wondering whether I should give up Crescent City and transfer all the core resources to the Borderlands."

After a moment of silence, Qi Ling let go of Su Mo and looked at him deeply. Her fingertips gently caressed his face, went down his neck, and finally touched his collarbone.

Without any warning, Qi Ling bit it.

Su Mo gasped at the sudden severe pain: "Why are you hissing?"

Qi Ling did not let go. She held Su Mo's back tightly and bit his collarbone hard.

Su Mo could feel the skin being bitten and warm blood flowing, but he was afraid of hurting Qi Ling and did not dare to struggle hard, so he could only sit there in pain.

After an unknown amount of time, the pain subsided and Qiling relaxed.

She gently kissed the wound on her collarbone with her lips, like a kitten that bit its owner and then came back to apologize coquettishly.

Su Mo: "What's wrong with you?"

Qi Ling's voice was faint: "I want you to wake up."

Su Mo: "I am very clear-headed. The mastermind behind this is the Fools' Club. We are still young and being targeted by that group of lunatics at this time can only be said to be bad luck."

"It's hard for us to stand firm in Crescent City. It's useless even to go to a new city. A fool will keep his eye on his prey and never let go. He will definitely keep chasing him."

"Our only way out is to go to the Borderlands, to a place where the three giant companies have no influence, and then start everything from scratch."

Qi Ling: "Are you happy if you do this?"

Su Mo smiled helplessly: "How can I be happy? Going to the Borderlands means that I have to tear down the things I have struggled for so long and start over."

"This is just a last resort when I have no choice. If I have a choice, of course I hope to stay in Crescent City."

Qi Ling: "Then stay."

Su Mo: "Huh?"

Qi Ling: "I said, then stay."

She held Su Mo's face and looked deeply into his eyes: "Do you remember? I told you that I will only live for you for the rest of my life."

"If you are happy, I will be happy. If you are frustrated, I will be frustrated. If one day you die, I will die without hesitation."

"If you don't feel happy going to Borderlands and want to stay in Crescent City, then just stay. This will also be my wish."

Su Mo sighed softly: "Of course I think so, but besides being unhappy, I also have to consider practical issues now."

Qiling asked abruptly: "You just said, who is the mastermind behind all this?"

Su Mo: "The Fools Club, if I want to be more specific, the president of the Fools Club and the head of the intelligence department of the Crescent City branch of the Hefei Company, Mammon."

Qiling: "It's not him."

Su Mo asked doubtfully: "Why not? With such an exaggerated reward, and Lucifer being so arrogant, Mammon almost jumped up and said it was him."

Qi Ling: "Mamen did all this, I don't deny it. But there is a black hand behind him, a black hand that, let alone you, may not even be discovered by Mamen himself."

Su Mo was even more confused: "Why do you say that?"

Qi Ling: "I told you before that I worked for Hehe Company for a period of time and was responsible for their underlying firewall architecture."

"You have been busy running about Nuobai these days, and I have not been idle either. I always feel that this matter is very strange. There are 32 million people in Crescent City. Why is it that your friend is involved in it?"

"So, I used several firewall vulnerabilities to hack into the company's intranet, looking for any clues. But guess what I found?"

She took out a data chip from her arms.

Su Mo took the chip, inserted it into the computer, and opened the only file inside.

It was an image taken from a high altitude. It showed the battle between Nobai and Ou Chenyu in the Falling Star Canyon.

Su Mo couldn't help but mutter: "Such a clear picture must have been taken by Hefei Company using Apokolips."

"A change of orbit of Apokolips costs a huge amount of money. It is usually used to monitor high-value strategic targets. How could it be used to film this battle?"

Qi Ling motioned to continue looking back.

As he continued to play, when he saw Ou Chenyu slashing off Nuo Bai's mask with a knife, and her true face was revealed, Su Mo held his forehead and said, "It turns out that the source of Nuo Bai's exposure is here. This is what you obtained from Mamen's database." found?"

Qi Ling's expression became serious: "This is the interesting part, can you imagine? Such an insignificant video was actually sealed and stored at the highest level. Even Mammon, as the head of the intelligence department, has no authority access."

Su Mo frowned when he heard this: "Are you saying that Mammen was able to obtain this video because someone with a higher level gave it to him?"

Qi Ling nodded. She leaned into Su Mo's ear and whispered her name.

"Zhao Yiming."

Su Mo sat there without moving for a long time, and then murmured after a while: "Vice President of the Crescent City Branch of the Hefei Company"

Qi Ling shrugged: "It's actually not much different from the real one. Their real president has been ill in recent years and is not far from retirement. Zhao Yiming has actually taken charge of all the powers of the Crescent City branch, only one title is missing. .”

Su Mo: "I don't understand. Zhao Yiming and Nuo Bai have no grievances or grudges. They don't even have the slightest intersection. They are not from the same world. Why are they suddenly targeting her?"

Qi Ling: "I couldn't figure it out at first, so I didn't act rashly and kept watching."

"Later I saw that fools would change their goals and start playing tricks on you, forcing you to the point where you are now at the end of your rope. I kind of understood."

"Nuo Bai was not Zhao Yiming's target from the beginning. He was just a pawn in his game. Zhao Yiming's real target is you."

Su Mo tried to keep up with Qi Ling's thinking.

Qi Ling tapped the tip of Su Mo's nose and said seductively: "In this way, you play yourself, I play Zhao Yiming, and we will conduct a mental deduction."

Su Mo nodded, and based on his understanding of Zhao Yiming, he began to answer Qi Ling: "You deliberately gave that video to Mamen to induce Mamen to use the power of the Council of Fools to hunt down Nobai."

Qi Ling: "And based on your relationship with Nuo Bai, if something happens to Nuo Bai, you can't ignore it. You will definitely be implicated, and you will definitely be targeted by fools."

Su Mo: "With my current accumulation, if I face a big shot like Mammon, I will only be toyed with, and there will be no room for struggle."

Qi Ling: "Oh~ yes, poor thing. We are a joint company, at the top of the world's food chain. If our supervisor wants to crush you to death, it will be easier than crushing an ant to death."

Su Mo: "I was forced to a dead end by Mammon. I can't break the situation on my own. If I want to keep everything I have, I can only ask others to help break the situation."

Qi Ling: "The Iron-Blooded Alliance has alienated you, and the Black Domain Group has no intention of ending. You can only place your hope on the Joint Venture Company."

Su Mo: "Who within the joint venture company can deal with a department head-level executive like Mammen?"

Qi Ling: "Yes, poor little one, who is it?"

Su Mo: "Then it's just you."

Qi Ling: "It's just me."

Su Mo: "But I have never had any contact with you. How can I contact you, a big shot?"

Qi Ling: "Oh, it's okay. There is someone beside you who is an old friend of mine. If you want to contact me, why not go find the magical Qi Ling~"

The simulation is over.

Just like a candle burning in the darkness, Sumer's mind was lit up.

Su Mo summarized the conclusions he had just deduced in his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Nobai, Mamen, and the Fools' Club are all Zhao Yiming's pawns."

"He has already made up his mind. He wants to use the help of the Council of Fools to force me to the point of desperation, and then let me beg him through you."

Qiling nodded: "From the very beginning, we were included in his scheme."

Su Mo: "But I don't understand a little bit. What is his purpose for doing this?"

Qi Ling: "I don't understand this either. There is not enough information at the moment. He must have his own ideas and is playing a big game."

Su Mo: "But if you say this, I should leave Crescent City. Otherwise, even if I use Zhao Yiming's help to get rid of the Society of Fools, I will fall from one pit into another bigger pit."

Qi Ling shook her head. She looked into Su Mo's eyes and said deeply: "You are already in the situation and you can't escape. Even if you want to escape, Zhao Yiming will definitely find a way to keep you here."

"Moreover, Mo Mo, I chatted with KK and the others before, and they talked about your vision."

"If you have the ambition to climb to Sky City and set foot on the highest point in the world, you will inevitably have to face those three behemoths one day."

"Since you will always face it, let's start from here. Use me as your chess piece, follow Zhao Yiming's game, and face this big shot of the joint venture company."

This crazy idea made Su Mo's eyes become complicated. He put his hand on Qi Ling's face and gently stroked it: "We have lost the advantage. What do you think the chances of winning are against him at this time?"

The corners of Qi Ling's lips raised slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "I don't know what the chances are of winning. I only know that Zhao Yiming is very good at chess."

"Ordinary people play chess by taking every move and seeing a hundred moves. But he can see a hundred moves by taking one move. But -"

Su Mo smiled and continued Qi Ling's words: "I can only see a hundred steps."

Qi Ling suddenly fell into a daze, as if her heart had been hit hard, and her soul was fused with him.

She hugged Su Mo's neck tightly and rubbed her red lips against his ear. The intoxication in her voice almost melted away: "I really want to cut open my heart and let you kiss my heart."

Su Mo's smile gradually became deeper: "The only way to defeat someone who sees a hundred steps ahead is to first see a hundred steps away and see further than him."

There seemed to be blazing fire in his eyes, and he said two words seriously.

"Get in!"

The corners of Qi Ling's lips curled up in a crazy arc, and her amber eyes shone coldly like a cold-blooded animal ready to hunt. The monster that once made Crescent City tremble was back.

"Go, Su Mo, I want to see you stand at the top of this city!"

Dongdong used an unknown person to raid the Hellhound Building and blast Lucifer, the leader of the Seven Stars, from the front. This sensational news has spread like wildfire.

After learning that Dongdong was seriously injured and rescued by Su Mo, reporters from all walks of life gathered outside the Edge Building to follow up on the latest news 24 hours a day.

The door of the Edge Building is closed, like an inviolable fortress. Reporters are gathering in groups in the outer square to exchange the information they have obtained.

While everyone was having a heated discussion, a scream suddenly came from the scene: "Look at the roof!"

They all looked up and were instantly horrified.

The red umbrella logo shines on the top of the Edge Building as always.

And next to it raised a bloody flag!

The bloody flag fluttered in the cold wind of winter night, and the light of the red umbrella symbol fell on it, reflecting an even more eerie and terrifying scarlet color.

Anyone who knows something about mercenary culture knows what it means.

This is the coldest and most extreme signal sent by mercenaries to the outside world.

The blood flag is raised, blood debts are paid with blood, and they will not rest until death.

The mercenary community in Crescent City has been developing for 70 years, and the appearance of blood flags is extremely rare.

Because mercenaries are here to make money, and only by being friendly can you make money.

Even if they fight and kill each other, they usually talk while fighting, using war to promote peace, and leaving a line in their lives so that they can meet each other in the future.

And this time the blood flag was raised blatantly on the edge, which meant that they could not bear it anymore and wanted to completely liquidate what happened recently.

Before the reporters could react from the shock, the hangar door between the 33rd and 40th floors of the Edge Building opened wide.

Thousands of flying units, including armed drones, aerial gunships, and individual aircraft, sailed out from it. The light of their engines shone overwhelmingly, like a vast sea of ​​stars, rushing toward another area of ​​the city.

At this moment, the scene of the blood flag being raised in the Edge Building has spread to all major media through the Internet.

[Hubin Business District, Edge Building Medical District]

The medical care for Shangguanli and Dongdong is still in progress.

Dongdong was seriously injured and has not yet woken up. He is still undergoing surgery.

Shangguan Li had already woken up and transferred to the sanatorium. She was lying on the hospital bed and watching the bloody flag on the TV. She felt a chill down her spine and murmured: "Captain Su, you need to calm down."

[Anmi New District, Lakeside Villa]

Dres and several intermediaries were having a party and drinking at home, watching TV silently at this time.

An intermediary asked with a strange expression: "Has Su Mo gone crazy? Does he know what raising the blood flag means?"

Derleth sneered again and again, spit the melon seeds in his mouth into the ashtray, and said coldly: "I told you, this man is mentally ill. Fortunately, I cut ties with him early, otherwise he would be splashed with blood sooner or later. .”

[Municipal Center District, Death Scythe Military Industry Headquarters]

Mr. Wen stood alone on the top of the building, looking at the bloody flag raised on the edge of the building at the far end of the city line.

He was so old that just the cold night wind was enough to make him tremble.

The attendant reminded softly: "Master Wen, it's too cold here, we'd better go back."

Master Wen tightened his collar and left with the help of the escort, muttering: "I haven't seen this scene in many years. Who is this Su Mo?"

[Border area, area occupied by Wolf Raid]

The huge street had been turned into a sea of ​​fire. The Wolf Attack thugs who were responsible for guarding this block were slaughtered, and their corpses lay scattered on the ground.

The Death Scythe mercenaries were cleaning the battlefield, killing the wounded from the wolf attack who were still moaning. Every gunshot represented the loss of a life.

Zhou Hannian stood on a high place, with a burning wolf head flag at his feet.

He was holding his cell phone and silently looking at the other bloody flag rising proudly in the screen.

A Death Scythe mercenary ran over and raised his head and shouted: "Captain, the drone reconnaissance unit has sent intelligence that the Wolf King is coming to us and will be here in twenty minutes."

Zhou Hannian took back his phone and made a retreat gesture.

The surrounding Death Scythe mercenaries immediately boarded individual aircraft and drove away from the battlefield one after another.

Before Zhou Hannian stepped onto the aircraft, he looked up at the dark night and said meaningfully: "The future life is terrible."

[Municipal Center District, Babel Tower]

Zhao Yiming was sitting in his office, with a chessboard in front of him and no one at the playing position.

He is the one holding the white piece.

He is also the one holding the black piece.

He looked at the holographic image of the blood flag projected by Hezi No. 1, smiled extremely freely, and clapped his hands happily.

"That's it! Young man, you didn't disappoint me, that's all!"

"Keep moving forward, toward the abyss! Only by rising in blood and fire can the true mercenary king be created!" (End of this chapter)
