    After listening to Deng Huailing's discussion of the conditions, Rolla was shocked for a while before recovering: "It's true that your deed of sale can be worth billions...but Huai Ling, are you really determined to come back? Even ifYanling is just a branch, but after all, there are tens of thousands of elite hunters gathered. You are the leader of the wolf pack, but you want to come back to be ordered by the guild? This is a major event related to your career. Have you really thought about it??”

    "I never cared about my career. I only cared about the most important thing. In the past, this matter was to survive Cecina, but now it is to help Rosie win." Deng Huailing's eyes were calm and rational, "Leader Yan YanLing is not a personal interest of mine either, it's just that Rosie needs me, so I do it. The current situation requires me to put pressure on Robert, so I am willing to increase the price, simple as that."

    "Your life creed is really simple and rude. If everyone lived as simple as you, I don't know how many troubles you can avoid." Rolla sighed, "However, I still don't understand why you came to seek the guild.Support? It stands to reason that Rosie has activated the brain lock, as long as she can control the bionics on the front line, she can win, so why do you bother to find me for a deal?"

    Rolla's voice sank slightly, suspecting that it was like a bit of ink spreading in the water.After all, she is a hunter who ranks A+ with her mind, and she quickly noticed the logic behind the deal. Deng Huailing has no reason to ask her for help, unless... Rosie is not fully sure to use the lock of the brain to win.

    This is important information. Although doing business requires mutual trust, she will not turn around and sell Deng Huailing, but when making decisions, she will still put the interests of the hunter guild first.

    Deng Huailing raised his lips briefly, he had long thought that Rolla would ask him that.A person as smart as Rolla would not be fooled by pure lies, so he left the door against which he was leaning, and sat at the desk in the quiet room, speaking solemnly, but tapped the table with his fingertips slyly:

    "Rolla, I didn't want to tell you the truth, but I know that if you keep it from you, your character will never agree to this deal. I will answer your questions, but you must keep it secret for me, and help me at the topHow about brokering deals internally?"

    "You have to tell me first, and then I will consider whether to agree or not." Rolla heard the faint compromise in his words, and immediately took a favorable negotiating position, which is almost the instinct of a good hunter, "I use my career as aGuaranteed, I will keep it a secret for you."

    "Okay, okay, who asked me to ask you?" Deng Huailing smiled, pretended to hesitate for a while, and sighed heavily, "Since you have already found out, then I will not hide it from youWhat's the matter. Actually...it's related to the total amount of energy in the second district, our energy is very limited, there is no way to control 10 million bionic people in a short period of time, this is what Rosie is most worried about."

    Rolla was really attracted by his explanation: "Energy is limited? That's right, I heard that the brain lock technology requires an electromagnetic wave generator as a carrier. This kind of machine consumes a lot of energy, causing power outages in dungeons. But what is it?What kind of limited method? How many bionics can you control?"

    "The effect of the brain lock is irreversible, so in theory, we can shut down all the bionics sooner or later." Deng Huailing carefully said, "But this process is very long, and the electromagnetic wave generator can only eraseOr to manipulate the consciousness of more than three million bionic people, to control them all, at least it would take the machine to operate three times, which means more than ten days."

    "So, are you worried that during these ten days and a half months, Robert will fight with his back and gather all his troops to attack?" Rolla mused, "There are still a million bionics in Cesina who can be transferred to the front line to maintain order., Since the incidents of East 2 and East 5, your troops have been very weak, if Robert is determined to capture the second district, it's really hard to say who will win."

    "Exactly." Deng Huailing said, "And electromagnetic shielding is also a factor of our concern. Although the lock of the brain is an extremely sharp spear, there is always a shield that can stop it. There are too many variables in the battle situation. Therefore, weThe guild needs to arouse public anger and contain the bionics in the city. If we are lucky and the public resentment boils enough to overthrow the regime, then the second district will win the first prize."

    He ran the train without blushing and heartbeat, and he felt that even he almost believed it—this was a complete lie, and the whole paragraph was a tactic he fabricated. The so-called "the effect of the lock on the brain is irreversible"prerequisites do not exist.The effect of the imitation is reversible. If Rosie can't end the war within ten days, the Second District will be over when the effect of the imitation fades.

    However, this lie is also mixed with a bit of truth. Rolla could not find out the truth about the "End of Song Project", but received information about a power outage in the dungeon. Before Deng Huailing told her, she already had similar suspicions in her heart., Deng Huailing just expressed her doubts.

    It's easy to believe what you want to believe, even if Rolla is an A+ hunter.However, Deng Huailing seemed to be frank and honest about the disadvantages of the second district to Rolla, but concealed the core of the plan, which was also the most unfavorable part. On the contrary, it made Rolla feel that with the help of the guild, the second district was very likely to win the battle.There is a war, and the investment at this time is a good opportunity to seek returns.

    If Rosie becomes the leader of the entire Cesina in the end, then the guild that has given a little grace will reap rich rewards; on the contrary, if the guild refuses to provide help at this time, then Rosie will be listed on the market in the future.Long, can the guild end well?

    "I will seriously consider your proposal." Rolla thought for a while and said cautiously, "This is not something I can decide alone, but I will help you lobby other high-level people to make them make up their minds. Similarly, you have toHelp me win some more dividends in front of Rosie, the senior management of the guild are greedy guys, your contract of sale may not be able to satisfy their appetite."

    "It's easy to say. Before Igor's house, Rosie gave me 5% of the share." Deng Huailing calmly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Rolla's right to speak in the guild, and he convinced Rolla.It succeeded, "As long as your request is reasonable, I am sure to convince him."

    "Of course you are sure. I have already seen it clearly, Luoxi and you, you two are people who can do anything for each other." After the negotiation was over, Laura relaxed and teased, "I didn't do anything before.It can be seen that Huailing, you are a very competent and virtuous housemate."

    "Thank you." Deng Huailing didn't have any objection to this appellation, and even raised the corners of his lips in comfort, "I just want him to win."

    Rolla smiled and chatted with him for a few more days, and finally said "wait for my message" and hung up the call.The ear fell silent again, and Deng Huailing sat alone in the quiet room, feeling the train start to move and slide slowly through the tunnel.He was lying on the table holding the communicator, resting his face in the crook of his arms, only showing a pair of brown eyes.

    Rolla's words made him miss Rosie a little bit, even though they had just separated.Since the start of the war, he has never left Rosie's side except to hunt down Li Ling on the ground of East 2, but this time he rushed to East 5, and it will take at least three or four days to return to East 1.

    I don't know what will happen when he returns from East 5?Rosie has already started the biggest gambling game in the world. They are all floating chips, tossed and squandered in the hands of gamblers, thrown high into the sky, and it is impossible to predict where they will land.

    He swiped the communicator casually and opened the chat box with Catherine.The mayor's secretary hastily sent a request for help before Rosie's speech, expressing his willingness to secretly assist "Shu" in defeating Robert, and asking him to exonerate her after the war.But at that time, Deng Huailing was discussing the process of the speech with Rosie, and only replied two sentences briefly:

    "I don't trust you. Show me something that will prove your resolve."

    So Catherine sent the recording ten minutes ago, and promised to continue to provide more information if he agreed to help.Deng Huailing has roughly heard it just now. The recording is a private conversation between Robert and Catherine, which should have been recorded just this morning.

    He put on his earphones, intending to listen to the conversation again.The play button was pressed, and as the progress bar moved forward, Catherine's stuttering voice came from the earphone: "Mayor, mayor, what you asked for is brought back..."

    "City, mayor," Catherine stood awkwardly in the mayor's office, next to the battle bionic man holding a formalin tank, "the things you asked for have been delivered, and they were airlifted all the way from East 5, do you need them?"check?"

    The bionic man took two steps forward, and steadily placed the jar on the desk.The screen surrounding the office is still full of wind and snow. The light of ice and snow penetrates the solution in the jar, reflecting the shape of a bright red heart. It has stopped beating, and the veins of blood vessels are faintly visible under the pericardium.

    Robert put down the gold-edged pen in his hand, and watched the heart leisurely for half a minute."This is also my old friend..." A trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes, but he seemed to be feeling very melancholy, "Old people have withered away, and soon, I'm afraid I will face the most familiar person."Does the corpse of a friend sigh like this?"

    Catherine noticed the coldness in those eyes, which was colder than the ice core deep in the glacier, so she dared not even breathe out.After appreciating it, Robert waved at the bionic man, "Very good. Put it in my collection room."

    Hearing the word "collection room", Catherine's lips couldn't help trembling, and a nightmare-like fear surfaced in her heart.She has always known that there is a room where the trophies are displayed in the Civic Center, but she has never been allowed to enter. However, just a few minutes ago, the domestic android went to the collection room to clear the space in advance and place new signs, and she sneaked behindGo in and hide.

    After the android left, she stood up with the low cabinet where she was hiding, and then covered her mouth in horror—in that room, there were countless treasures on display, and the resplendent light almost hurt her eyes.But it wasn't the jewels that frightened her, it was the shelves that held them, each made of severed human limbs.

    The most numerous are the famous watches and rings worn on severed hands, they are soaked in transparent jars, and the broken diamonds and gold reflect the bright light; there are also some necklaces, hanging on bare shoulders, with heads missing; andCatherine hurried out of the room in a full suit and graceful long skirt with her head down, not daring to look carefully at what was hidden under those gorgeous clothes.

    She can probably guess that those are the enemies that Robert dealt with during his entrepreneurship and administration, because she has seen several iconic jewelry in the photos of famous politicians and businessmen.

    In the face of betrayal of important people, Robert may think of deformed old feelings, keep their bodies and consciousness, and force them to obey his orders as compensation, such as Rose and Rosie;His brutal nature was evident, and he collected and admired their remains for pleasure.

    Catherine used to blindly worship the mayor, so the other party naturally wouldn't regard a plaything like her as an enemy.But ever since she learned of the cause of Rose's death, she can no longer face the mayor with her previous attitude. If she shows her flaws, will the mayor think of her and leave her a whole body?

    She felt that her calves were shaking, and her narrow high heels couldn't support the weight of her whole body.After leaning against the wall and moving into the lounge, she sent a distress message to Deng Huailing. The other party's reply was as expected cold, but she had no one else to ask for help except Deng Huailing who was far away in the second district. As long as RobertStill the mayor, there was no way she would find refuge in the city.

    "Catherine?" Robert knocked on the table to bring her back to her thoughts. "Didn't you hear me? What were you thinking?"

    Catherine was startled suddenly, concealing her flustered look, and quickly changed the subject: "Sorry, Mayor! I, I was just thinking... We won an overwhelming victory in East 5, but apart from the moment you received the news, youYou don't seem very happy? The heart brought back by the bionic man didn't make your brows relax."

    "You've noticed it too. Of course I'm happy. I'm just afraid...someone made me happy on purpose." Robert narrowed his eyes and leaned back in his chair slowly. "Although I won in East 5, I don't know why.There is one detail that has always been lingering in my mind. East 5 was exploited by us because of the untimely mobilization of troops, and I always felt that this kind of loophole would not occur under Rosie’s command.”

    "Do you think East 5's victory is a trap?" Catherine cautiously probed, "But the second district did suffer heavy casualties in the early stage of the war, and there were too few soldiers to manage it, which is normal."

    "You don't know Rosie, the sand table deduction we discussed in the military academy when we were young, there were hundreds if not thousands. I have almost forgotten the content, but I still remember that he is a person who is good at coordinating complicated plans, as precise as amonster."

    Robert pondered, his eyes seemed to look beyond the layers of fog, looking at the distant past, "Would a person like him make such a low-level mistake?"
