Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath, suppressing the urge of his parched throat, and coldly looked at the gray-haired woman, saying:

“Put away your charm, your behavior makes me feel hostility!”

As he spoke, transparent vortices appeared in his eye sockets, activating the Dream Domain skill. If Katherine continued to charm him, he would use Dream Leap to leave.

Of course, all of this was for show. It didn't matter even if this clone died.

One bizarre dream after another emerged.

Uh, during work hours, so many people are dozing off nearby? Zhang Yuanqing was stunned as he looked at the chaotic and complex dreams, then immediately cleared his mind and focused on the gray-haired woman.

The gray-haired woman's eyes fluttered, glancing at the high-pitched tent, and smiled charmingly, "It seems you are not a lustful type of evil profession."

She immediately withdrew her charm, and the captivating allure vanished.

Whew, she has tolerance for me, and didn't force the eagle to eat the chick. If I were the lustful type, would she just seduce me to sleep? Zhang Yuanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, maintaining a cold and unruly demeanor, and raised an eyebrow:

"You know my profession?"

The gray-haired woman smiled, without answering, and introduced herself: "Katherine Lu, Vice President of the Hunter Guild, Level 7. As for the profession, I don't think I need to introduce it."

Zhang Yuanqing said indifferently: "Get to the point."

Katherine took out her phone from her pocket, opened a video, and handed it over.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't take it, but looked down. It was a surveillance video from Meisheng Bank, showing the process of bald Jia Feizhang taking the fan-shaped copper piece.

Katherine retracted her phone, her light gray eyes staring intently, and said:

"The two Star Officials you killed last night were our people. You're a smart person, I don't need to explain more, right?"

Zhang Yuanqing showed a look of "sudden realization," and then regained his coldness, "So, the prompt on the app backend was just to lure me here?"

He appropriately tensed his body, entering a combat state.

"Don't be so nervous, the app's prompt is not deception, Tongtian Jiaozhu, you have entered our assessment list." Katherine leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and said:

"Tongtian Jiaozhu, Level 5 Illusionist, rogue cultivator, has killed several officials in a row, has a biased sense of justice, especially hates corrupt officials, suspected of having suffered unfair treatment, was wanted by the authorities in August this year, and has since disappeared."

"You're investigating me?" Zhang Yuanqing cooperated, showing micro-expressions such as "pupil earthquake," "forced calmness," and "boiling murderous intent."

Katherine smiled: "Since it's an assessment, of course we have to find out your background. We will continue to verify your identity until we are sure there are no problems."

After a pause, she got straight to the point:

"The Hunter Guild is an absolutely neutral organization. We cultivate both orderly professions and evil professions. Our philosophy is that there is no absolute good or evil in the world, only unchanging interests.

"Therefore, we will select good seedlings with clean backgrounds and infinite potential among the hunters for cultivation. Your level is high enough, and your ability to complete tasks is excellent, so congratulations, you are on our guild's assessment list."

Zhang Yuanqing sneered: "Is the next step to hand over the things in the bank safe deposit box?"

Katherine said:

"Don't worry, listen to me first. After entering the assessment list, you will have the following four benefits: First: Your task acceptance permissions are cancelled, and all tasks on the bounty list can be accepted at will. Second: We will provide you with a Dream Weaver stage dungeon guide. Third: All bounty amounts belong to you, and the Hunter Guild will no longer charge commissions. Fourth: You can come to me with any difficulties, I am your superior."

After speaking, she smiled charmingly: "The fifth, well, is my personal offer to you. If you have needs in that area, feel free to find me."

The fifth is completely unnecessary. If I really sleep with you, the copper piece is yours, and I am yours too. Zhang Yuanqing said in a deep voice: "Not bad, let's talk about the bank safe deposit box. I think this is the focus of your looking for me."

"The things in the bank safe deposit box are indeed our target. If you are willing to sell them to us, the Hunter Guild will definitely give you a price that satisfies you," Katherine said.

"Not selling!" Zhang Yuanqing refused directly.

Katherine was not surprised by this, and smiled:

"We have unlimited tolerance for good seedlings. First of all, you have to answer me one question, what is that item?"

Zhang Yuanqing said: "A fan-shaped copper piece, not complete."

Not complete. Katherine nodded: "The Hunter Guild is determined to get that thing. After careful consideration by the organization's high-level, we decided to share the treasure with you, but you must find the second copper piece within ten days. This is also the organization's test for you. If you can complete it, you will officially pass the assessment and become our internal member. If you fail, then you must hand over the copper piece, and the organization will buy it at a reasonable price."

After speaking, she opened her inventory and grabbed a piece of animal skin contract: "Now, you have to sign a contract with us."

Sign a contract, and I have to find the second copper piece within ten days and successfully infiltrate the enemy. If I fail, I will resell the copper piece to the Hunter Guild... I have no clues about the subsequent copper piece at all. The probability of finding the second piece within ten days is too low. How can I sign this?

If I don't sign, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the Hunter Guild. Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing still stubbornly replied: "What if I don't sell it?"

Katherine smiled charmingly: "Guess!"

Chinatown, townhouses.

Looking for Tongtian Jiaozhu? Zhang Yuanqing was stunned at first, and then reacted.

The Anti-Black and White Alliance, after discovering that two Star Officials were hunted down, should have guessed that the "treasure-snatching" enemy was intercepted. Then, they will definitely try to find the interceptor and test whether Tongtian Jiaozhu knows about the Pope's relic.

No choice.

The Anti-Black and White Alliance has some understanding of the Pope's relic. I can try to get information from them. Hey, in this way, I can accept the Hunter Guild's assessment. Being a double agent really has many benefits... Zhang Yuanqing pretended to ponder:

"Tongtian Jiaozhu, bounty hunter... Finding people is no problem, I am best at finding people, but the two must tell me the reason. I will not accept tasks that I don't understand."

Tao Siming thought for a few seconds and said: "The reason cannot be told to you. What you have to do is not a dangerous task, just locate his position, and you don't need to worry about anything else."

Zhang Yuanqing shook his head: "Locate his position? If there are Sovereign-level experts guarding him, wouldn't I be seeking my own death? If he is a Sovereign, I am even more looking for death. You don't tell me any information, and just ask me to find someone?"

Saying that, he stood up, posing as if he was about to leave: "I'm sorry, I can't agree to you."

"Wait!"

Deng Jingguo spoke. This Thunder Mage, who seemed violent but was actually fair, said:

"It's okay to tell you. You remember the two Star Officials last night, right? They are dead. It was Tongtian Jiaozhu who killed them. We suspect that the two Star Officials were ambushed by him."

"Able to see spiritual bodies, and a clean double kill, Tongtian Jiaozhu's profession may be Night Wanderer or Illusionist. As for the level, at least Level 5."

What I want is not this information, I want to know the origin of the copper piece... Zhang Yuanqing revealed a look of realization and asked:

"You didn't take action last night, presumably because you were restrained by Sovereign-level experts. Then you should tell me what organization the two Star Officials belong to, and what they want, because there are others looking for Tongtian Jiaozhu."

"If I don't know the level of the behind-the-scenes forces, I will misjudge and fall into danger."

Hearing this, Deng Jingguo raised his eyebrows, "Your thinking is very clear, I have more confidence in you."

He continued: "Jia Feizhang is my half-brother. The two Star Officials snatched away something passed down from my ancestors. I don't know the organization behind them."

Zhang Yuanqing thought for a few seconds, "I need detailed information about that item in order to deduce the background of the behind-the-scenes organization."

Deng Jingguo said in a deep voice: "My ancestor was Huo Zhengkui. He was the founder of the largest gang in Chinatown, and he traveled in Europe for a few years a century ago. He met the Pope of the Vatican. The Vatican was the most powerful orderly organization in the world at that time."

"Later, the Vatican was destroyed because of a turmoil, and the Pope handed over something to him before his death. Now it seems that the organization that destroyed the Vatican has come to his door."

[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of chasing insects, the source replacement App used by everyone, huanyuanapp. ]

Deng Jingguo really doesn't know. Those who know will be tight-lipped, and those who don't know will treat it as a legend and talk about it without reservation. Zhang Yuanqing nodded:

"I understand, I accept this! But I have a request. During the investigation, I need the help of the Anti-Black and White Alliance. I hope you don't refuse."

The two Sovereigns' expressions relaxed slightly, and they nodded. Deng Jingguo added:

"You can do what you can, don't force yourself."

Asking Xiaoyao Jianxian for help is just a try. After all, there is a specialization in skills, and scouts are professional in finding people.

Regarding that item, Deng Jingguo does not have a must-have idea. The Vatican and the Pope's relics are too far away from him. Before Jia Feizhang was killed, he didn't even know these things.

Even now, he is ignorant of the destruction of the Vatican and the Pope's relics.

Zhang Yuanqing said: "Then, let's talk about the reward."

Hunter Guild.

Zhang Yuanqing thought for a long time, and said indifferently:

"I accept! But I want to extend the deadline, because I will enter a dungeon within a week. How about this, within half a month, I will find the second copper piece."

"In addition, you need to give me some information about the copper piece, otherwise, I can't find it in a haystack."

As a double agent, of course, I want to get as much information as possible.

Katherine curled her lips, "No problem! It will be synchronized to your phone later, so, let's sign the contract now."

After signing the contract, Zhang Yuanqing re-searched for dreams, deliberately showing off, performing Dream Leap in front of Katherine, and left the Hunter Guild.

Leaving the townhouse, Zhang Yuanqing stared at his phone, checking the information sent by the clone, revealed by the Hunter Guild.

The Hunter Guild's explanation for the copper piece is that it is suspected to be a relic of the Pope. The complete form is a circular copper plate, and they also talked about the existence of the Vatican, saying it ambiguously.

Giving the feeling that the Hunter Guild is just "looking for the legendary treasure."

It seems that before "Tongtian Jiaozhu" passes the assessment, they will not expose any of their information.

"It's all nonsense, it's like saying nothing." Zhang Yuanqing muttered dissatisfiedly, "Now the only clue is Huo Zhengkui, um, the founder of the largest Chinese gang in Chinatown, then I will entrust Asano Ryo to investigate. The data in the Heavenly Punishment must have this character."

Thinking of this, he dialed Asano Ryo's phone.

The ringtone rang twice, and it was quickly connected. Asano Ryo said in a soft voice: "I am working, reply to information if there is something."

Said in Japanese, and then hung up the phone.

Zhang Yuanqing silently remembered it, and then opened the translation software and translated the meaning of this sentence.

Um, someone next to me is inconvenient to answer, there is a Sovereign in the office area, and I don't dare to go to the toilet to make a call? Zhang Yuanqing edited a text message:

"Help me find out about Huo Zhengkui."

More than ten minutes later, Asano Ryo sent Huo Zhengkui's life.
