The night is the hunting ground for wild beasts and the protective color of hunters.
Three times of strengthening self-control not only increased Zhou Weide's strength and weakened his weight, but also improved his coordination and balance to feline-like strength.
At this time, he was walking across the rooftops, crossing obstacles as lightly and nimbly as a civet cat.
The victorious gang members did not realize that they were being followed. After plundering the loot, they carried the bodies of both sides back to their stronghold.
During this process, Zhou Weide did not attack them.
Because metal currencies were still used in this era, even the small gang leaders did not carry much currency with them, let alone the most ordinary thugs.
Under the cold moonlight, the leader of the team boosted morale with straightforward and simple words.
"Brothers, the meat has been cooked and wine prepared at home. Let's go back to drink and get money."
"Hahaha..."
Today there is wine, today you are drunk, and tomorrow you will sell your life for wine money. The atmosphere of the fair-weather world has not weakened due to the rise of muskets, but has only changed to a more efficient way of killing.
The destination of the gang members was a building with a tavern on the lower floor and a hotel on the upper floor. Standing on the roof, Zhou Weide could even hear the rapid breathing and gentle whine.
Obviously, gang members have their own way of post-war adjustment, and gang leaders are good at using the most traditional desires to win over their minions.
Zhou Weide did not have any psychological fluctuations in the face of these sounds. He was very patient and did not continue to act until the night got darker and the snoring started.
Gangsters could not be expected to patrol as discreetly as Sergeant Byron, whose sentry was smoking a pipe and chatting at the door of the tavern.
The sound of Zhou Weide entering the room on the third floor from the roof did not attract anyone's attention, including the people in the room.
The leader of the Skeleton Gang never expected that someone would sneak into his room in the middle of the night, let alone that the person would break his neck directly.
"Click..."
Zhou Weide helped the target adjust his sleeping position, allowing him to enter a trouble-free eternal sleep.
He had no regrets in cleaning up these gang members.
Because they are parasites of the civilian economy. Every time one survives, more people will be eaten out of flesh and blood and die helplessly.
What is even worse is that in this world where extraordinary power exists, the dead also have value.
Zhou Weide found a corpse trading catalog on his desk. It recorded that the Skeleton Gang provided humans to the cultists at 100 silver coins for each living person and 20 silver coins for the corpse.
Whether they are living or dead, the purpose of cultists buying them must be bloody rituals.
In this way, human beings who are sold as commodities lose their final dignity in death.
"The safe and the key are in the same room, so what's the point of building a safe."
The safe made of black iron is heavy and strong, but the leader of the Skeleton Gang is very cautious about it. The key hangs around the neck, turning the safe into a closet in name only.
Zhou Weide opened the safe and saw a small amount of gold coins and hundreds of bundles of paper-sealed silver coins.
In addition, there are two finely crafted gold-inlaid flintlock pistols and seven letters sealed with fire lacquer badges in the safe.
He took out two wires from his pocket, clipped the letters to the desk one by one, then swiped the wire to take out the letters one by one, flattened them and looked at them.
"Hai Ge (the name of the leader of the Skeleton Gang), our losses in the spirit world are great, we need more sacrifices.
This chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue Read.
If you can provide us with a hundred sacrifices this time, we will consider guiding you into the spirit world..."
"Haige, become a life in the spirit world. How does it feel? I admit that the spiritual world is not beautiful, but there are infinite possibilities in the spiritual world, right?
The bishop asked me to tell you that as long as you continue to maintain the number of sacrifices, you will have a chance to obtain the spiritual world. The power..."
"Bishop, I have been waiting for two years, when will I get the power of the spiritual world?
I am willing to dedicate everything for the church, please have mercy. Loyal believers..."
Among the seven different letters, six are orders and verbal praises from the superior, and one is a flattery and begging from the inferior.
Zhou Weide discovered two very interesting points, one is the spiritual world, and the other is that sacrifices can alleviate losses in the spiritual world.
This means that the existence behind the Skeleton Gang has obtained the qualification to enter another world and encountered various dangers during the exploration.
But these situations are just appearances. From normal logical analysis, the Skeleton Gang is one of the underground forces in Burnie Port, and Burnie Port is just an insignificant port city of the Thorne Empire.
An organization that has access to other worlds, not to mention how powerful it should be, should at least have its own professional sacrifice team instead of recruiting weak underground forces.
Therefore, the theory of the spiritual world in the letter is either a cult lie; or the cult was established randomly, and the founder was incapable of planning the organization's development route.
This phenomenon usually occurs in lower-level organizations, where the leader is the strongest and relies on force to suppress his subordinates.
He probably came from an underground force, and his organizational management method is still in the gang merger stage.
Of course, this information also revealed an important issue.
That is to say, the cult organization probably operates near Burnie Port. Because the shelf life of living people is longer, the shelf life of corpses is very long.Short.
"The confidentiality work is so poor that professional Kingdom agents can identify their origins and personalities from this information.
In this way, compare the recent situation in Burnie Port Underground forces that have suddenly disappeared or grown stronger in a few years can roughly identify their identities."
For people like Zhou Weide who have received professional intelligence training, it is almost impossible to contact a cult organization in the spiritual world through letters. It's full of loopholes.
If the Port Governor cooperates with the investigation, it won't be long before that organization is wrestling with the artillery.
But such an unprofessional organization can have access to other worlds and formulate a simple development route.
This means that the scope of influence of the spirit world is relatively wide and the form of joining is relatively simple, allowing its chosen ones to easily absorb companions.
"Two years of offering sacrifices have failed to bring about the rewards I deserve.
It seems that the power of the spiritual world is not only difficult to obtain, but its own value should be relatively Higher."
Zhou Weide did not expect that during a fundraising operation, he would obtain information about the other world behind the crack in the sky.
Considering the universality of underground organizations like the Skeleton Gang, he believed that the underground organizations in Burnie Port had most likely begun to tilt towards cult organizations.
I just don’t know if the governor of Burnie Port knows about the existence of the spirit world.
Under normal circumstances, kingdom forces will not allow outside forces to continue to invade their territory.
After all, no matter how well a good king or noble is doing, who would agree with an outsider who comes to rob his territory and his people?
"Both the living and the dead are sacrifices. Do they have the technology to extract souls?"
