The Devil Inside

The sorcerer lived in Bengbu. He was somewhat morally obsessed. If Han Solo went to "poison" himself, he would not care at all.

But he was the one who prepared the antidote and put impurities in it that sucked people's luck, which means he is also responsible, right?

Now this is ok.

The antidote also has a cost. With a little luck, you can consider it as the cost of the medicine. It's very reasonable.

Han Solo fetched a few wooden boxes and, like snow, frantically created miniature silk cocoons, which were soon filled to the brim.

When the medicine is out of the pot, package it and put one pill in each bowl, and everything will be done.

"boss---"

Just at this moment, another man in a suit approaches.

He said mysteriously, "Everyone is in place and ready to go, just waiting for your order.

Cornflower turned and looked at Han Solo.

This is waiting for his order.

Han Solo smiled and said, "The Thieves Guild is very powerful. I have witnessed it today. But I still have to say that manpower is limited after all. Fortunately, I have read the list and found that there is a major flaw in your intelligence."

Cornflower frowned, unhappy: "Defect?"

"You haven't discovered the 'hub' of the evil god's followers in the outer city. If you don't destroy it in advance, even if you kill all the middle and low-level cadres, they will still be able to create chaos."

Cornflower remained calm: "Do you know where the "center" is?"

"Of course! Let your people wait. We will first paralyze their central control center in the outer city, and then kill their grassroots cadres. This way, we will be absolutely safe!"

Han Solo turned around.

"Let's go to the Merlin Canning Factory.

Outer city of Arendelle, old town.

Meilin Canning Factory mainly produces canned luncheon meat, which is inexpensive, has a salty and fresh texture, and is widely praised.

The Outer City District Municipal Hall attaches great importance to this enterprise and has repeatedly proposed to help them create new production lines, increase production, open up sales, and make huge profits in taxes.

But the cannery owner, Mr. Merlin, always refused.

He is a down-to-earth entrepreneur who refuses with excuses such as "it's hard to control quality if the business is too big" and "I want to devote my life to the people of Arendelle", and lacks a pioneering spirit.

of course.

The real reason is...

The first stop to open up sales channels must be the capital of Zeslia. All the royal relatives are there, and there may be some extraordinary people. What if they see through the "curse" hidden in the luncheon meat?

Arendelle is under martial law, all residents are under house arrest, and permission is required to go out.

The cannery stopped operating today, and the thin Merlin was working diligently, checking the production line.

Really—

Troubled times.

As the center of the outer city, Merlin is the hidden trump card of the evil god's followers and is outside the organizational structure.

He has sufficient authority to decide on his own when to "trigger the curse".

Once triggered, the curse hidden in the bodies of tens of thousands of people in the outer city will be activated. They will be affected to varying degrees, and the consequences will be irreversible.

therefore··

Merlin was under tremendous pressure. Once he pushed the button, there would be no turning back.

Either the winner takes all, or the whole family is destroyed.

There is nothing wrong with the "contamination trigger" on the production line. It is still functioning and can infuse extremely small amounts of the curse into the luncheon meat.

Anyone who consumes it for a long time will inevitably get poisoned.

Next, the most important "Puppet Tower" is the machine that triggers the curse. It is powerful and its signal covers the entire city.

Merlin walked alone towards the open space behind the factory.

Just one glance and he was shocked.

The dead grass and fallen leaves piled at the entrance were swept aside, the stone door was open, and someone had entered!

"impossible-"

Why didn't the alarm trigger?

Is the spiritual pressure ring formation ineffective?

Merlin looked at the dark entrance, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Chapter 133 #132 The Inverted Tower

"He's in."

Outside the Meilin Canning Factory, on the top floor of a residential building.

Cornflower leaned against the water tower, her ice-blue eyes sparkling. As the chief of staff of the Thieves Guild, she possessed outstanding reconnaissance abilities.

Place a magic eye at the underground entrance of the canning factory. No matter where you are, you can see everything happening in front of the underground entrance.

"Probe again and report again."

Han Solo sat on the steps, very calm.

Cornflower glanced at him, somewhat dissatisfied but more puzzled.

It’s really strange!

Merlin is a very famous person in Arendelle and a conscientious entrepreneur.

The canned food produced in his factory is cheap and of high quality, and has been selling well for more than ten years. It has become the childhood memory of a generation.

If you go to the outer city areas and listen around, when talking about "Mei Lin Luncheon Meat", many young people will smile from the bottom of their hearts and say "My biggest wish when I was a child was to eat a whole can of Mei Lin Luncheon Meat".

Not only is the product quality good, but boss Merlin is also good to his employees.

Today in mainland China, capitalism is rampant, no one cares about the value of labor, and every gold coin carries the smell of blood.

Boss Merlin, you are truly a refreshing person.

His factory has excellent welfare benefits and an eight-hour work system. He himself is a kind-hearted person and always respects his employees.

They even built a special employee community, and those who worked for five years were given a house. Where can you find a boss like this? An Arendelle person working in the Merlin Cannery can be one step ahead of others when choosing a spouse.

Now·--

Han Solo actually said that such a good man is a lackey of the devil?

There is nothing more ironic than this.

Cornflower asked: "Brother Han, are you sure? Is there really a 'tower' underground that can trigger a curse?"

"It's an upside-down tower. It's upside down and upside down. It's a spectacle. Also, don't call me brother. It's disgusting."

"I don't understand."

Cornflower couldn't believe it. "When was the tower built? Was it built at the same time as the factory? With all due respect, it's impossible for such a large project to go unnoticed. There are too many links involved. You can't say that the entire process from raw material procurement to construction was handled by the evil god's followers."

Han Solo waved his hand: "That is a tower of flesh and blood. Do you think it is made of stone or cement? Our enemy is an ancient sinful demon, and he has many tricks. Including the underground space you just saw, it was 'eaten' by the monsters."

It's windy on the top floor.

Cornflower's short black hair fluttered, and the hair fell on her lips. She usually looked heroic, but now she looked pitiful.

She believes that the root of this problem should be dug into.

The matter was serious, and she was not familiar enough with Han Solo, so it was better to ask a few more questions than to be at a loss when the time came.

"I still don't understand---"--The inverted tower can trigger a curse. We clearly found the entrance,

Why don't we just go in and set an ambush? We can hide here and observe. What if Merlin doesn't come out, or if he activates the curse directly? How should we deal with it?"

"You have no idea of the situation."

Han Solo made a judgment.

He looked at the somewhat dissatisfied Cornflower and said, "Underground, to be exact, around the inverted tower,

We have no chance of winning. Merlin can merge with the tower and become a twisted monster that is extremely difficult to deal with."

"Okay, now I understand why we can't set an ambush underground. So, what should we do if he directly activates the curse and merges with the tower?"

"He wouldn't do that."

Han Solo was extremely confident.

Han Solo only had a partial understanding of the Devil's Advent event. As the situation developed, the context gradually became clear.

Anyone who has played the game knows that there are three bosses in this event:

Bloody Priest;

Merlin the Demon;

Ancient sin demon.

The intensity increases successively.

Merlin the Demon Tower is very special because he is the only "fixed" BOSS. He is integrated with the inverted tower and cannot leave the underground space.

Han Solo didn't understand the mechanism at first, so he went to fight the "Bloody Priest" first.

He soon discovered that the chief priest could not be killed.

Emptying her health bar will trigger her line: "Merlin, heal me!"

The next moment, dark magic emerged and completely healed her.

It took several attempts for Han Solo to understand everything.

The demon Tamerin is the resurrection stone. If he is not killed first, all the demons in Arendelle will not die.

At that time, the "underground of the factory" was a pure devil's nest, filled with monsters, and Merlin was the worst of them.

Even if the brave Leila was in the team, they would not be able to start. Fortunately, Arendelle had enough engravers.

Explain the situation to the Chairman and he will send out multiple teams of Engravers to assist in the battle, which will make it possible to break through.

The fusion of Merlin and the Inverted Tower is irreversible.

If he wanted to trigger the curse, he had to get involved himself, but since the situation was unclear, he would not dare to be so radical.

If he misjudges and starts planning ahead of time, he will most likely lose everything.

Han Solo said, "Cornflower, I have seen your business ability. Have you ever thought about why you didn't know about Merlin's existence?"

"It's very simple. He is outside the system and doesn't care about anything. Only a few people know of his existence, and those who know about it will never contact him, just pretending that he doesn't exist."

Cornflower had already guessed it.

She added: "Merlin has only done one thing in his life. At the most critical moment, he will merge with the 'Inverted Tower', absolutely confidential, absolutely deadly, and absolutely loyal."

Han Solo smiled, "That's it. This model has its drawbacks. The drawback is that it has a poor ability to resist risks. If everything goes smoothly, there is nothing to say. If the plan is frustrated and the situation is unpredictable, people outside the system will not be able to grasp the situation and will fall into a dilemma, just like Merlin now.

"He must be helpless. It is too risky to directly carry out the plan. He will try to figure out the situation, but his identity must be clean. He is just a conscientious entrepreneur who lacks direct communication channels."

If this were not the case, then Merlin's lurking would be meaningless.

The fact that he was able to avoid the eyes and ears of the Thieves Guild proved that he was very clean and had no connection with the High Priest.

Cornflower nodded, agreeing with Han Solo's inference.

Han Solo continued, "So where would he go to get the news? I guess it's the outer city hall.

Or we can directly visit the officials who have dealings with him. No matter which one, as long as he leaves the factory and the densely populated old town, we can take action.

"You've convinced me, I agree with your strategy."

Cornflower smiled.

A malicious smile.

She added: "But————-Brother, you may be disappointed."

Han Solo cast his eyes over to look at this woman who looked to be around 27 or 28 years old.
