Chapter 496 Finding out the culprit
"ah!"
Piero wailed as Zhang Tuohai stepped on him.
"Be quiet, or I'll hang you in the sea to feed the sharks."
Zhang Tuohai pointed the gun at the man's head: "Now, I ask you questions and you answer them. Don't say anything unnecessary, otherwise, I will make you regret coming into this world. Do you understand?"
"Kill me if you can!"
Piero realized that he couldn't survive any longer, so he just straightened his neck and pretended to be a hero.
"You're pretty tough. This knife is pretty sharp . Tell me, if I try it on you, what will the effect be?"
Zhang Tuohai picked up Piero's dagger, and the tip of the knife hovered over Piero's body, as if looking for a place to cut.
"How about we do it from here? I'm very skilled at cutting sausages, and I can make sure that the thickness of each slice doesn't exceed two millimeters."
As Zhang Tuohai spoke, he moved the knife in his hand towards Piero's lower body.
hiss--
Piero felt a cool breeze blowing from behind and shivered involuntarily.
"Don't do that. Just tell me what you want to ask. I'll tell you everything. We have something to discuss. Don't use a knife."
When Piero saw the knife about to fall, he immediately backed down.
Although he knew that he would not survive, Piero was obviously not a tough guy and did not want to suffer that kind of torture before his death.
Sometimes, being able to die quickly is also a kind of happiness.
"Haha, it would have been better if you did this earlier. Why do you have to make me resort to extraordinary measures? Don't you think so?"
Zhang Tuohai did not move his hand away, but asked directly.
"Tell me, where did you get those gene-changing drugs?"
"Those potions are made by machines." Piero gave up resisting and said directly.
"Where did you get that machine? Why didn't you sell it when Garrison, Celia, and George were selling potions? Did you have an agreement not to sell at the same time?"
Zhang Tuohai was very curious about this.
"How could there be such an agreement between us?" Piero smiled bitterly. "We are just a loose alliance. We usually play our own games and would never establish such an alliance. The machine was just given to me by the mysterious shadow. Otherwise, I would have been selling potions to grab business."
"Wait, you said that machine was given to you by a mysterious shadow?"
Zhang Tuohai felt that he had grasped the key point of the matter.
"Yeah, is there any problem?" Piero asked curiously.
"Does he usually give you things?" Zhang Tuohai asked.
"It didn't happen before, but after George died, the mysterious shadow master came and gave me the potion-making machine and the dagger, as well as the mortar on the car. He also promised that if I could kill you, he would give me more rewards and even a chance to let me leave the game."
"Then why do you want the player's heart? Is it the key ingredient for making potions?"
Zhang Tuohai was a little confused as to why they wanted the players' hearts.
He seized a potion-making machine from Garrison, and did not mention that it required the player's heart as an auxiliary material.
"It is the request of the mysterious shadow master. He wants us to offer the hearts of players as sacrifices. The more we offer, the more rewards we can get."
“I see…”
After hearing Piero's narration, Zhang Tuohai nodded and he understood a little.
The real driving force behind this genetic potion should be the mysterious shadow. The purpose of asking for the player's heart is not clear for the time being. Maybe he really needs it, or maybe he just wants to provoke fighting between players.
The potion-making machine obtained by the Secret Order was also given by the mysterious shadow. From Garrison to George, and finally to Piero, they are all inseparable from the mysterious shadow.
What surprised Zhang Tuohai the most was that the mysterious shadow actually wanted Piero to kill him and had even prepared weapons specifically to deal with him. It was really a big fuss.
"Isn't it just tearing down a few of your statues? Are you so stingy?" Zhang Tuohai snorted coldly.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on Piero's waist, where hung a small statue, which looked exactly like the mysterious shadow.
"What is this?" Zhang Tuohai pulled the statue down and played with it in his hands.
[Moriarty's medium for interfering with the survival world, a portable statue of a mysterious shadow, which can be used to communicate with Moriarty behind the scenes in real time.]
[ps: Moriarty was the man behind the last attempt to downgrade your vehicle. ]
Hint system gives hints.
“It turned out to be this guy!”
After hearing the explanation from the prompt system, Zhang Tuohai showed anger on his face.
Last time at Red Maple Manor, after he killed the dog Togarison, Moriarty actually attacked him and tried to forcibly downgrade his car. If it weren't for the kind-hearted maid who intervened, he would probably be in a miserable state now, and his body might even be cold.
Unexpectedly, this guy still didn't give up and tried to target me again.
"Okay, you're interfering with the medium here, right? From now on, I'll destroy every mysterious shadow statue I see, and see how you can still interfere!"
Zhang Tuohai exerted force with one hand, and the wooden statue was crushed into pieces in an instant.
After crushing it into pieces, Zhang Tuohai even felt unsafe, so he used a flamethrower to burn the fragments into ashes and scattered them into the sea.
After destroying the statue, Zhang Tuohai also summarized some information.
One is that the rank of the prompt system is higher than Moriarty, otherwise it would not be able to explain the other party's background so easily.
Second, Moriarty’s ability to interfere with the survival world is limited and must be done through a medium.
Third, Moriarty's perception of the survival world is limited, and he is not omniscient. For example, he didn't know that Lilith helped him upgrade his exoskeleton, and he still prepared according to previous information.
After knowing this, he felt that Moriarty wasn't so scary after all.
As long as you can't kill yourself directly, there is always a solution.
"Hmph, Moriarty, huh? I'm going to fight you, and I'm going to settle the score with you one day!"
Zhang Tuohai snorted coldly.
"I've told you everything I know. Can you give me a quick death?" Piero asked from the side.
"It's not over yet. Who is that guy who helps you as a broker? Give me his detailed information."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"That guy, his name is Cassano, he is an outside member who is on investigation, he usually helps me contact clients, and the car he drives is..."
Piero sold all the information about the mysterious shadow, and he didn't care about this peripheral member at all, so he sold all the information about him.
