Infernal Rhapsody

Chapter 16 Impossible Task (Full)

In the early development and construction of Rome, in order to ensure the personal safety of pioneers to the greatest extent, a large number of paramilitary underground fortifications were built as emergency shelters. With the rise of skyscrapers on the ground, most of these underground facilities that could only be used as cheap warehouses were gradually idle. Up to now, in addition to the homeless, the people infested are all kinds of invisible groups. According to incomplete statistics, all black market illegal transactions in Rome, and the share of transactions in dungeons accounts for more than 80%, becoming the best breeding ground for dirt and breeding evil.

Robert used a forged identity and spent a fee to obtain the long-term legal use of a facility in the dungeon, which was transformed into a secret training base for Di Changli. In fact, as a thief who adheres to the principle of the three caves of cunning rabbits, Robert prepared a hidden stronghold is by no means this place.

"Bep, beep, beep..."

The red light on the alarm flashed, and with the change of the countdown number in the last ten seconds, it sounded slowly.

Di Changli, with his body hanging upside down under his head, squeezed the corners of his mouth and his eyes focused, like elegantly plucking the strings at a concert, quickly and steadily twisting the ordinary steel wire between his fingers.

"Papa." A gear machine made a slight noise, the red light went out, and the number on the display screen stopped when it jumped to 4. Di Changli bent down, turned his body deftly and jumped to the ground, and opened the solid alloy door of the safe.

"That's great." Sheila applauded and smiled and did not hesitate to appreciate it. "Xiao Di, you can always surprise people very much. I don't know what else I can teach you in the future."

The truth is also true. Sheila is good at electronic password cracking technology, which is not a strength for mechanical manual locks. She has done her best to guide Di Changli's method to reach such a level in three years.

"It's more than enough to deal with general security devices, but it's far from the best." Robert shrugged his shoulders and expressed different views, but in order to avoid hitting Di Changli's self-confidence, he immediately said, "However, these auxiliary skills such as unlocking are not very important. In each operation, resources are the most important item. As long as you accurately grasp and use various resources and are ready to deploy properly, you can even pull a whole column of federal fleet home generously.

Di Changli untied the hook on his waist and said indifferently, "Don't worry about my thoughts. My psychological endurance is not as bad as you think. You can criticize more severely."

Is that right? At present, I can't be more demanding on your performance." Robert turned the topic and said, "You have almost learned some basic technical training and theoretical things, but what you lack is practical experience... I have arranged a test task for you. You must complete this task alone, and we will not provide you with any assistance."

The years when the ideal passed away were getting farther and farther away, and the day when he embarked on the road of evil finally came unstoppably. Di Changli nodded calmly, which made him feel a little surprised.

This road is his own choice, and Di Changli does not hate Robert and Sheila. Although on the surface, his attitude towards them is quite cold, in his heart, he is very grateful for the painstaking efforts they have put into on him, allowing him to learn a lot of knowledge and skills, and have abilities that are difficult for most ordinary people to achieve, even if their purpose is not selfless help and care.

Robert and Sheila also understand his real thoughts under his indifferent shell, which is very gratified and think their efforts are worthwhile.

"Oh, one more thing." Robert said, "You are about to become an adult and can participate in the 'fighting life'. Therefore, after the task is completed, I ask you to take two hours every day to receive special training and try to improve your Force to the energy control period as soon as possible."

Wu Fighting Life is an official virtual fighting competitive game of the federal government. It has a high degree of simulation. If you die or are injured in the game, there will be an indefinite degree of damage and harm to the nervous system. Minor federal citizens are not allowed to participate.

Since the advent of martial arts life, it has immediately become popular in the whole Federation. Its attraction is that the participants' combat effectiveness errors reflected in this game are very small. The scenes in the game are for the pursuit of realism, very cruel and bloody, almost equivalent to real personality fighting in the real environment, with strong ornamental. Moreover, a wide range of events have been arranged in the game, allowing people to play *, * quite high, especially the three-year non-discriminatory free struggle of the Federation, the highest single bet * or even as large as hundreds of millions of federal coins, so that the people are not crazy about it. The champion produced by each hegemony competition will immediately become the most popular superstar in the Federation.

Di Changli nodded calmly again. The cultivation of the Force to the energy control period is his goal in the near future, and participating in the martial arts life can improve his combat skills and control ability of the Force. As long as he is careful to avoid damage to the nerves caused by casualties, there is no other harm.

Robert added, "At that time, I hope you can do your best to make your reputation as much as possible. In that way, you will have the opportunity to be selected by the federal government as a law enforcement officer in the police station, which will be of great help to us in the future."

There is no doubt that due to the characteristics and convenience of martial arts life, it can be said to be a good platform for selecting military talents. Although it is impossible to test the real strength of players 100%, the reference value of its data is absolutely reliable. Therefore, the excellent people who perform well among them are usually the hot goods that all forces compete to hire, not only federal official agencies. However, because the treatment given by the federal government is far less than that of private forces, and there is not much room for development, excellent people in martial arts life have rarely chosen the former.

It's really a brilliant idea for a future professional thief to sneak into the government's law enforcement department... Di Changli picked it imperceptiblely. No wonder Robert and Sheila's contact with him in the past three years has been a single-line contact, extremely cautious, and even not letting any member of the gang know about him. The existence of reserve members has already begun to implement this infernal plan.

Regardless of the nature of his work, Robert and Sheila's dedication is very admirable, Di Changli sincerely thought.

"Is it a police officer or a detective? Robert, I have to say that your expectations for Xiao Di are too low. Sheila smiled and said, "I think Xiaodi is very likely to be recruited into the Federal Social Order Bureau, or even become a law enforcement guard."

Law enforcement guards? Di Changli was very surprised. "Ms. Sheila, maybe your expectations of me are a little unrealistic. I am very clear about my ability. My Force has not reached the energy control period, and I will not even be the opponent of an ordinary special police in the Federal Social Order Bureau."

"The power of my arm is never as strong as that of a lifting arm, but there are many ways I can easily destroy it."

Sheila still smiled and looked at Di Changli and said, "This metaphor may not be appropriate, but it can show that simple personal force does not represent everything. Child, you will understand this later."

"Thank you for your teaching, Ms. Sheila." In front of Sheila, Di Changli has always been quite polite, because she lacks maternal love and care since she was a child. Many times, he always unconsciously compares her with her adoptive mother, who has a weak memory and a biological mother who doesn't know her face. He felt that if both mothers were alive, when they smiled gently, they would be very similar to Sheila's smile.

Di Changli will inevitably imagine the appearance of his biological father. In his fantasy, his biological father has a strong face, tall and strong, with broad shoulders and chest, like a mountain, and nothing can crush him down. Also, his smile should be gentle and bright...

One thing, Di Changli has always been very puzzled. His biological parents were unfortunately killed for saving their adoptive father Dilo and entrusted them to Dilo in their infacy. Why didn't they leave their images or photos, as well as their identity information, but just leave him a ring? Dilo didn't have time to ask about this doubt when he was alive. Now he wants to solve the doubt, he can only go to the thirteenth planet of the Roman galaxy where his parents died, but after so many years, I'm afraid that hope has been extremely slim.

Gently rubbing the silver-gray ring on the middle finger of his right hand, Di Changli pressed the thoughts in his mind and said, "Mr. Robert, you haven't told me the specific content of the test task."

"Oh, the task is not difficult." Robert's expression was relaxed, as if he was going to let Di Changli go to the buffet table to get a plate of food. The Golden Oyster Building on Avenue of Glory will hold a jewelry exhibition for ten Rome Standard Days next month. Undertaking the security work is a security company called Tiandun. All the jewelry on display will arrive in Rome at the end of this month. Before that, you have a week... Well, you have to set aside at least two days to make a plan. I will give you five days to get the specific time and transportation route of this batch of jewelry. Is there any problem?"

There was a trace of surprise on Xi'en, as if he wanted to express some opinion, but he looked at Robert and remained silent.

"I don't have it for the time being, but you may have one." Di Changli said.

Listening to him briefly talk about Jack's fraudulent gambling, Robert didn't care much and said, "I know that in our industry, everyone usually needs a pastime to adjust their mood. I can't interfere too much in their personal lives, otherwise it will be counterproductive and bring them more Great pressure."

Di Changli was a little surprised. Mr. Robert, are you not going to stop his behavior?"

"Of course, I have to remind him not to play tricks in the field of Big Head Barley in the future. I don't want to give that old guy any chance to mock me." Robert still doesn't care. Well, I believe Jack will grasp the scale and will not endanger the safety of the team because of personal behavior. You'd better pay more attention to the tasks you are about to face.

"Okay, Mr. Robert."

Obviously, Robert's trust in his team members is very high. Although he is reluctant, Di Changli can only end this topic knowingly.

"Are you crazy?" Behind the scenes, Sheila expressed strong dissatisfaction with Robert. Xiaodi doesn't have his own resource channels now, and it is impossible for him to complete this task alone. What you do is simply pushing him into the fire pit. There is another important issue. We haven't discussed the plan for this batch of jewelry before. I need an explanation.

"Well, I can explain." Robert appeased the unkind Sheila. I know that he can't complete the task alone and there will be some danger, but don't worry, I can keep him safe. In fact, I have no intention of this batch of jewelry, so this is not a test, but I want him to deeply remember the first principle of action through this failure - if he can't ensure safety accurately, he must give up his action.

Sila's face softened, but she still had opinions. Will the failure of the first operation seriously hit his self-confidence?

"I'm sure it won't bother him too much." Robert smiled and said, "There will never be any harm in learning to adjust your mood and mentality."

After completing the training that day, Di Changli separated from the ground with Robert and Sheila as usual. The night was already quite deep, as if the rare starlight flashed on the gray sky, which looked particularly gloomy.

Di Changli was not in a hurry to leave. He stood beside the motorcycle and quietly looked up at the sky. He didn't know when he would be able to fly freely into the starry and vast starry sky.

"Hey, boy."

The two tramps came crookedly from the dark corner not far away, and could smell the body odor and pungent smell of inferior spirits from their bodies. One of them said vaguely with a big tongue, "Kid, how about buying us a drink?" Otherwise, you can give me some change."

"Get out of here." Di Changli's reply was very brief and clear.

The terrain of the entrance and exit of the dungeon is complex, and drunks like this kind of drunken people who pester single pedestrians can be seen everywhere. It seems that there is not much threat, but as long as they show a little fear to them, these guys will immediately become quite dangerous gangsters and the makers of many robberies, ** cases and even murders. .

The object in front of them was obviously not weak and could be bullied. The two tramps muttered a few times and moved a little to the side, as if they flinched. But when he was about to parallel to Di Changli, a nearby tramp suddenly rushed up fiercely, as fast as if he were drunk at all.

However, this guy retreats faster.

Di Changli's heavy whip leg was fiercely under his right armpit. After a clear rib crackling, the guy quickly flew out like a doll and fell heavily on the ground. There was no scream. Obviously, the unlucky guy fell into a coma in mid-air.

After three years of careful guidance and training, Di Changli can adjust his physical condition to be as agile, vigorous and rapid as a cheetah in prey at any time, which is enough for him to easily cope with this low-level sudden crisis.

Another tramp opened his mouth for two seconds, squeezed out a frightening monotonous trill from his throat, then turned around and ran away in panic like a dog with a stick.

***

The Avenue of Glory is one of the most prosperous commercial streets in Rome. In the early stage of the development of the Roman Galaxy, all the officers and soldiers of the Galactic Federation Fleet, who were ordered to sweep the space monsters and returned triumphantly, received a warm welcome from the people on this street. Today, the hero monument engraved with the names of tens of thousands of fallen federal officers and soldiers still stands high on the Plaza of Glory for people to remember.

If you knew that the current city of Rome has become a slum in the Galactic Federation, will the spirits of these tens of thousands of victims think that the huge price they have paid is not worth it?

Di Changli stood under the hero monument, slowly glanced at the strange names engraved on the base, and a question that could never be found in his mind.

His clothes today are quite different from those of yesterday, and he has also put on makeup. His facial contours and facial features have changed slightly, and his overall image has matured a lot. Even if very familiar people see him, I'm afraid they will not be able to recognize him for a while.

For a group of people who walk in the dark to challenge the law and sometimes have to hide their true face, disguise is a skill that can never be abandoned. Di Changli may not be too proficient in this technique, but he can easily show different temperaments that are consistent with the changed appearance, which makes Robert once again suspect that he may indeed be the legendary natural pretender.

Turning his head and looking at an extraordinary skyscraper on the right side of Glory Square, Di Changli quickly changed his mind.

The Golden Oyster Building is a comprehensive building. It often holds various high-level exhibitions, press conferences, charity parties, speeches, celebrities salons and other activities. There are many dignitaries from Rome, and the security is very strict. Di Changli, who pretended to be a tourist, just went in for reconnaissance and found a tricky fact. Without knowing the security system device or no internal response, if he wanted to sneak into the vital center here to steal an important information, it was equivalent to pulling out his teeth from a nap-taking population without waking him.

Tiandun Security Company, which undertakes the preservation business of this jewelry exhibition, naturally holds this information. However, the security work of the whole Golden Oyster Building is handled by that Tiandun Company. It can be imagined how strict the security protection measures of Tiandun's headquarters are. It can be said that the risk factor is no less than crossing a minefield with blindfolded eyes.

No matter how you look at it, what Di Changli is facing is simply an impossible task.
