Chapter 1371: A Pleasant Screening Experience (Part I)
Beside him, Wells looked at the pile of papers nearly thirty centimeters high, pursed his mouth, and finally sighed, and then picked up a part of it. It's all about people, some of them are detailed, and some of them are simple information like just names. I saw a few familiar names in the information, all of whom were members of the area under their management.
Some of the information is marked, but some are clearly denied. Ten minutes later, Wells finished reading a little bit, took two samples and asked Hesley, "Mr. Hesley, are these denied members because they are not qualified?"
"In most cases, after our actual investigation, it does not match the information we get. That is, they do not meet our standards, but a small number of people are unwilling to join, and these people have found a way out on their own, or they are very confident in the association. Hesley then tilted his head, "There's a lot more to it, and that's just a part of it. You can categorize them according to the template you are familiar with, and when you finally divide a specific area, you can immediately call it and use it as a necessary reference. It's like when you have tasks in your hands, when you assign these tasks, you will definitely have a few suitable people in mind, right? There's still a lot of information to be made into an information base in the future, but that should be a few months away. β
"But we're fast-paced here, and things from then on will explode at a lot of certain times. Also, I have a guess you need to pay attention to. After that, when a net is spread, it will definitely attract attention. Whether it's a bounty hunter, or a mercenary, or someone in some power who wants to leave. I don't know how many people this web will attract, but well, this convergence effect will always show up at a certain time. At that timeγγγ"
"The statistics of the information will come in handy, and the screening needs to be faster and easier. I've been through this many times, and I've seen a lot of similar situations in the growth of the association, so don't worry. β
Wells nodded, "In that case, Mr. Hesley, I think we need to stop in one place. It's certainly not practical to have a machine that specializes in processing information, but I think it's necessary to have pen and paper. β
At 4 p.m., the limousine went smoothly to a hotel next to the train station. Hickson and the others all showed surprised looks when they saw Wells, and Wells could only show a dry smile to deal with it.
"Tickets for 8 p.m. Hesley said, looking at the six people in the living room of the suite, "Because it involves the inspection of luggage, do any of you have a way to get our stuff through?" The six looked at each other a few times, and finally all five eyes focused on Wells.
Pursing his mouth, Wells glanced around a few times before speaking, "There is a danger of revealing traces, because these people may be in contact with the association, and I dare not guarantee safety." There are other methods, but you need a sum of money, the currency cash in the Principality of Anse, about fifty thousand, and the rest can be handed over to me. β

The same Normans Tavern, the same sign, but the layout, environment, and location have all changed.
Daya Alliance, the tavern in the evening is quite lively, all because of an announcement from the association yesterday. For the next month, all tasks will be canceled or put on hold until something is taken care of by the association. The specific cancellation time will be notified by the association in one month.
Many people who are resting choose to go to the nearest tavern to see if they can get other information. At the same time, it is also a good choice to meet other people, and the time of the task is often staggered, so it is rare to have such an opportunity to see the changes of others and exchange some information.
It's just that most people are disappointed, and the bartender here only knows that there is such a notice, and he doesn't know anything else. Looking at the people who walked into the tavern from time to time, each one smiling at himself, the bartender knew that he would have to explain it carefully from beginning to end.
"Brod, I didn't expect you to come. First of all, I don't know anything about the notification. Like you, I'm just accepting, but with one more thing - the tavern needs to run properly. I think someone else might be waiting to ask for some additional information from you. The bartender was mixing wine, and when he saw a man in his prime walk in, he immediately put down his work, and as he spoke, he turned around and took out the best wine, and when he reached a full glass, he put it on the counter, "Why are you interested in coming here?" It's been a long time since I've seen you. β
"It's only two months. Said the man named Broad. The hair is very short, so it is appropriate to say that it looks like a few days after shaving your head. He looked like an ordinary man, with a gentle expression, but his eyes would scan his surroundings from time to time, full of an unknown vigilance.
"Thank you. Broad said after taking a sip of his wine, and then asked, "Have you been here?"
The bartender paused for a moment before he understood what was going on: "Except for Shevi and Tretke, they've all been here." However, I only heard a week or two ago that the two of them had taken on a good mission, and I think even if all the missions have been stopped recently, they will still stay with their employers, or their prey. With that, the bartender leaned forward and leaned over to Broad and whispered, "I heard it was a multi-million dollar mission, and I thought I would find you." But you seem to be on something else, so the Guild sent the two of them with you to make sure there were no accidents on the mission. β
"That's γγγ," Broad nodded, a look of gratitude.
"No thanks. The bartender said with a smile, turning around and continuing to sort out the rows of wine bottles, "I don't know what happened recently, the association's actions are obviously abnormal." Broad, you don't have γγγ there."
The bartender turned again, and after a few seconds, when he looked at Broad's position, there was no one there. In addition to an empty cup, there was also a coin in the denomination of 1,000 yuan. The money was more than enough for that glass of wine.
"It's still the same. The bartender shrugged as he walked over to pick up the cup and money. Broad had experienced this habit many times, and each time it disappeared silently, "It stands to reason that I am a late-stage surgeon, so I can't feel any movement." Is his strength too low, or is Broad's strength too strong?"
Soon after, Brod, who came out of the tavern, walked down the dimly lit street. He liked the atmosphere very much, and the night was unusually quiet, and when he hid the sound of his footsteps, it seemed as if he had blended into the environment and became erratic. It is back to their residence, the outskirts of the city.
In the eyes of many people in the tavern, Broad was a very withdrawn man, and except for two or three people, only the bartender could talk to him. Broad also likes this, he actively participates in tasks when he has them, he doesn't go to the city when he has nothing to do, and staying in his own place to exercise is his only hobby. It's been going on for two years, and Broad doesn't get tired of it.
It's a few kilometres away from the centre of the city, and within a hundred metres of it, the dim streetlights on the side of the street have come to an end. The city is one of the important cities of the Daya Alliance, but the popularity of electricity is not very widespread. Twenty or thirty meters away, there is a street lamp standing, and the high-voltage lamps inside are also the lowest power, in Broad's opinion, this kind of street lamp is removed, and the effect seems to be better.
Moving on, Broad was thinking about the notice from the association. Indeed, just as he did not receive the slightest information from the management, it is certain that such a notice would give rise to speculation.
The "click" thoughts were eventually interrupted by the sound of Broad's own footsteps. The wariness of the unknown around him made him tense up, and the force of his landing was not controlled, and there was a stampede sound. The next moment, Broad jumped backwards, and when he reached two meters away, the ground suddenly exploded, and the stone slab on the pavement floor exploded into a sizable pit.
Broad didn't think about it, and turned straight to the back. At the same time, several faint lights flickered, but all the street lamps within two hundred meters of this street were shattered in response, and the night officially fell. After a few steps, he immediately slowed down, and Broad curled up and hid by the low wall by the side of the road. On one side is a fenced residential building, and the lights are shining at a few points. Squinting his eyes to determine the intensity of the light, Broad dismissed the idea of turning over and heading into the residential building.
Although only one shot was fired, Broad did not hear any gunshots. It can be judged that the enemy has made corresponding preparations, silence and extinguish flames. Committing to the shadows under the wall at this moment is the best way to hide.
"Tracked from the tavern?" Broad gripped his pistol and moved slowly under the corner, "It's a straight street, and it's hard to dodge the intertwined firepower if the other side shoots directly regardless of the impact. He's a guy who is good at stealth, but he's been out for more than half an hour, so he doesn't notice anything unusual on the way. After investigating beforehand, the residence has been exposed, and personnel have been arranged to guard the past few streets?"
"If that's the case, in terms of distance, everyone else will be here in five minutes. Broad thought as he moved carefully. But the next moment his thoughts were interrupted again, and his perception clearly felt that something was pointing at him, and the double script could drag his body back more than a meter away, and the shards from the explosion of the slate even hit him in the face.
"Can you see me?" Broad hurriedly retreated, as far as his eyes could see, the dimness around him was no longer the extent that the surgeon's eyes could see everything clearly by the faint light capture, "Temperature perception?" At this point, several other bullets exploded through the ground one after another following Broad's trajectory.
"The bullet was coated, and it couldn't wipe the ballistic line, and there was no gunshot, and I was blind. Broad scolded as he moved erratically, "So, who could it be? The people over there finally came after him?" but the price was a bit great, and it would be a compromise to disappear by himself. Forget it, it's better to run first, and then think about it later!"
At this point, Broad didn't want to think about it anymore, he took a deep breath, and there was a tearing sound of the fabric being torn in the night, and then, a man with knotted muscles was like a hairless mutated beast, shaped like a cannonball, and jumped into the residential complex, and disappeared in the dim light in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, on the other side, not far from several residential buildings, is the top of a five-story building. The three of them got up from their stomachs and looked in the direction that Broad had run away.
"I didn't know he had this ability. The person who spoke seemed to be justifying something, "We've never been on a mission together. β
"It seems to be very withdrawn, but also quiet, I didn't expect to develop this ability. This time it was a female voice, and there was a sense of disappointment in her words, as if she had seen the essence of a friend, and she was surprised, "I thought I would do something to resist." β
"It's shameful to escape, but it's useful. Although the ability to develop this surgery is not very good on the surface, it is indeed very practical. This sentence seems very pertinent, "But is the pressure we put on us?"
"Probably so. The other two spoke at the same time, "Silence, flame-extinguishing, overcoated bullets, straight streets, excellent locations prepared in advance, even if we have the layout of the building in our heads, it is really difficult to find our location without any reference." β
"Then γγγ then," the man asked, "are you going to keep chasing?" boss." β
"Of course, it would have taken a few more days to find his traces. The time is almost up. As he spoke, the sound of disassembling a firearm was heard, "Wait a minute, let's do a little test on you guys, and keep up with me with all your might." I'll look at your limits, and then I'll have a better plan. β
"Thank you boss. Both said at the same time.
