    In the clean and tidy bounty hunter branch office, there is the smell of fresh paint and brand new furniture. The golden artificial sunlight shines through the tulle and casts on the floor, reflecting the slender figure sitting by the bay window.The young hunter was holding a tablet in his arms, and was scrolling through a map with his fingertips on the screen. Behind the table not far away, an old Russian man was smoking a cigar leisurely.

    This is Igor's office in the branch. With the sufficient financial support of the guild and "Skill", the branch rented a three-story building in the center of the dungeon and started trial operation to prepare for the official opening.

    The bottom two floors are where the operators and secretaries work, and the top floor is separated by many agency offices. With years of contacts, Igor has contacted more than a dozen people who used to work in the main city and now live in the second floor.Professional managers in the district, and hire them to work in the branch.

    These intermediaries have been in the second district for many years, and they also have their own social circles, so the circles are layered on top of each other. The news of the establishment of the branch spreads in the second district like ripples, and there are countless capable people who apply to become bounty hunters.After all, it is also a good thing to have a reliable organization that is worth relying on. The Hunter's Guild can be called a gold-lettered signboard in the main city, and the branch must not be far behind.

    Deng Huailing sat on the bay window, turned off the tablet, and lowered his head for a while.Although he is eighteen years old with endless energy, the busy work these days has also made his handsome eyebrows a little tired.Currently, he is the only competent management member of the branch. Among the applicants who submit requests, those who are more dangerous can only be verified by him, and he can decide whether to accept or not for the branch.

    Many times, he had to face a group of desperadoes fleeing from the main city alone, or local tyrants born and bred in the second district.When the talks between the two sides are not going well, it is inevitable that there will be big fights. He himself is more dangerous than those people, and he will not be injured, but he is often covered in blood.

    Both he and Rosie are out-and-out workaholics, and they couldn't see each other all day after the branch started its trial operation.Sometimes when Deng Huailing came home in the cold frost in the middle of the night, Rosie had already taken a shower and fell asleep, and got up in a daze to hug him, crawled into his bloody and dirty arms, and used her hands in the dark.Warm lips kissed his lips that were blown cold by the wind, and stroked his sweat-soaked back.

    Also, when Rosie came back late, she crawled into the bed on the inner side lightly, but Deng Huailing suddenly grabbed her wrist, pressed it on the bed sheet and kissed it brutally.Regardless of the order of returning home, it is inevitable to end up rolling the sheets in the chaotic darkness. After finishing the work, you don’t even take a shower, and you turn into two puddles of exhausted mud, embracing each other and falling asleep; and the next morning.Scuffling for the bathroom, struggling for another shot in the process.

    He couldn't see Rosie very much every day, but he was addicted to thinking about that person.He knew that with the maturity of Rosie as the leader, he was able to suppress his thoughts and restrain his emotions well, but he just couldn't do it. Every second, he was thinking about those gentle and clear eyes.

    Deng Huailing leaned against the window frame depressedly, and looked up at the window. In the dark underground city, the artificial sunlight above the administrative center was close at hand.The branch was specially taken care of by Rohit and set up next to the administrative center. His lover was only a few hundred meters away, but he couldn't touch it anyway.

    "Deng, are you planning to imitate Wangfushi?" Igor laughed at him with a cigar in his mouth, and showed off a new Chinese allusion by the way, "You always stare at the administrative center like this, in case you turn into a stone,I can't tell Rosie."

    "I'd rather turn into a stone, so that I can be a decoration in his office and watch him every day." Deng Huailing suppressed his impetuosity, and said sullenly, "If it weren't for running the branch, it would be of help to him., I won’t accept this job.”

    Igor expressed his understanding: "Young couples are always separated for a few hours and are dying. When I was your age, I was clingier than you. I chased the girl with red hair and a sticky butt in the same grade every day....Wait, I didn't say anything just now, don't tell Su Qing, she must have put laxatives in the food after she knew it, last time I recalled the past with her, I had a stomachache for two weeks."

    Deng Huailing laughed loudly: "Old slippery man, have you ever been eaten to death like this?" He felt a little happier, his eyebrows stretched, and he jumped off the window sill to check the electronic schedule on Igor's desk, "Look atTime, the Ziskes are coming soon, are all the procedures ready?"

    Although he has his own office in the branch, he spends most of his time away from home, and there is no furniture in it, so he has to temporarily borrow Igor's office as a meeting place.

    This time back to the branch meeting is also to meet Nelson and Kate. The three-day consideration period agreed last time has ended. During these three days, the branch and "Skill" actively sent personnel to follow up on this matter, for the members of the watchmenAfter answering questions in detail, I finally gained some trust, and the vote to join the branch passed with a slight advantage.

    Now, as long as the watchmen send representatives to sign the formalities and enter the identity information of all members into the branch's management system, they can become official bounty hunters.

    "It has been prepared a long time ago. There are more than 300 people. Each of them has prepared a separate electronic contract. We just wait for them to come and confirm." Igor logged into the background of the system and called up the contract.From the website to the system of the branch, Rosie's technicians built the branch. Rolla once generously offered to help, but Deng Huailing politely refused.

    What he wants is an organization that is completely in his hands. Even if it does not belong to "Shu" on the surface, it also does not belong to the guild in the main city.Deng Huailing has always been a loner and lacks interest in power, but if it is for Rosie...he is willing to hold power in his hands and bear a series of troubles and challenges brought about by taking power.

    As soon as Igor finished speaking, there were two knocks on the office door, and the receptionist led the Zisk couple in.Nelson and Kate looked much more peaceful than when they met at the police station two days ago, the distrustful and aggressive aura dissipated, and Deng Huailing could detect it at a glance, although the couple did not regard him asA companion, but he really regarded him as a partner.

    After exchanging polite greetings, Igor put the electronic contract in front of Nelson.Nelson picked up the tablet, and Kate went through it from beginning to end. After confirming that it was correct, he said:

    "We have read the version of this contract sent in the mailbox. We have no objection to the other clauses, but this one, 'The branch is responsible for providing daily protection for the watchmen, as well as funding for scientific research'..."

    "The source of the funds is clearly written. The branch will set up a special fund every month and transfer it to the watchman's public account; but we still have doubts about the definition of 'daily protection'."

    "Is there any problem?" The contract was drafted under the supervision of Deng Huailing. He did not participate in the writing of all the clauses, but he has already been familiar with the content of the contract. "The definition of 'protection' is written on page 14, youYou can flip back."

    "That's right, we found it too. What makes us suspicious is the content of the definition. The interpretation of 'protection' in this contract is to 'clear out all the strongholds established by the spies in the main city on the ground in the second district. If they dare to step inDungeon, meet one and kill one'...Did you write it, Deng Huailing? You call this 'daily protection'?"

    Kate looked at Deng Huailing with indescribable eyes, as if she was looking at a paranoid lunatic.

    "I wrote it." Deng Huailing smiled, the look in his brown eyes arrogant, "Offense is the best defense, isn't it? I don't know how the so-called 'protection' should be implemented to achieve twenty-fourIn my life, the most familiar method is to attack, and I only intend to take you to do this."

    "Are you going to take us to take the initiative to attack the strongholds established by the spies?" Nelson said incredulously, "According to our estimates, there are a total of fifty or sixty strongholds on the ground in the second district, and there are thousands of spies.They are good at hiding their whereabouts in the wilderness, and then pretending to be civilians to sneak into the dungeon, even the army of "Skill" can't do anything to them, this is simply whimsical!"

    "Don't worry, come one by one. One shot a day, wouldn't it be over in two months?" Deng Huailing said casually, as if talking about some kind of assembly line operation.He turned over the tablet in his hand and showed it to the other party. The map of the wilderness on the ground of East 1 was displayed on the screen, with red dots flashing between the winding curves.

    "The 'shu' army couldn't clear it up because they didn't know the exact location of those spies. This is the information given to us by the guild in the main city as an opening gift, and there are coordinates of some of the spies' strongholds on it. They put a lot of effort into it.We just got it from the intelligence department of Cesina's government, now it's the enemy's turn to show us that we are in the dark."

    He clicked a red dot on the lower edge, and the map immediately expanded radially, zooming in to look like an abandoned casino, "The information I got shows that there is a brain scientist named Leah among you who sneaked into the dungeon a week agoThe spies were kidnapped, and they are still being held in a secret stronghold, which is this casino. You haven’t rescued her yet, have you?”

    "No, we tried to simulate some rescue plans, but none of them worked." Kate's eyes became worried, "They wanted to pry her research results out of Lia's mouth, but after so many days, she still hasn't let go.I'm afraid they don't have much patience left."

    "Then how about we set off to rescue her now and burn that stronghold by the way?" Deng Huailing said, "It's my gift to you for joining the association."

    "To put it lightly," Nelson thought he was talking big. "We have studied the rescue plan. There are thirty people guarding the stronghold, and the number of people the watchmen can mobilize is only thirty, and hostages can be used on the other side."Come to intimidate us. Do you have any ingenious plan to destroy this stronghold without harming the hostages?"

    "I'll show you how A+ hunters make plans. This is a free master class, and it's included in your membership gift package."

    Deng Huailing smiled faintly and snapped his fingers, casually threw the tablet on Igor's desk, and walked out the door, the hem of the windbreaker was blown up by the wind, "You don't need thirty people, bring ten people, plus a hacker, let's go to the ground."
