Chapter 219 04.0218: "Black Wing Society Intelligence Network"

Yin Shuyao arranged a private room at the deepest part of the second floor for her cousin and his friends.

Next to them was the private room that the mysterious gentleman had invited her to stay in and that did not require any guests.

What puzzled her was that the private room didn't look like anything special.

It is not bigger, nor is its interior more luxurious. It is just ordinary, with nothing special about it.

She had suggested that the gentleman change to a bigger and better room, but he still wanted only the same one.

There is another private room further to the left of the exclusive room, and the gentleman did not impose any restrictions on this room.

Also, because it is closer to the inside, there will be fewer guests coming and going than in other rooms, making it more private and safer, so Yin Shuyao chose this room.

The young people took their seats one after another, and Yin Shuyao handed the menu to everyone first.

The man took a sip of water, walked in, and asked warmly, "Are you Enjolras' classmates?"

"Yes, uncle." The young people also responded in a friendly manner.

"Please take a seat first. You can order whatever you want. I am an expert at cooking all kinds of dishes. Xiaoyao, serve some good wine to your cousin and classmates. I will prepare some snacks myself. We cannot leave the entertainment to those ordinary newly hired cooks."

"Ah... You are so enthusiastic, uncle." The mixed-race youth and his classmates were a little uncomfortable with the man's enthusiasm and whispered:

"Hey, Enjolras, is your uncle always like this?"

Enjolras smiled and nodded: "Yeah, my family is very welcoming."

After Yin Shuyao wrote down the order, she smiled and bowed, saying, "My cousin and all the gentlemen, if you want more food, you can ring the bell and I will come over."

"Okay, thank you, lovely lady." The lively young man took the lead in responding to Yin Shuyao.

She closed the door carefully, making sure it closed tightly.

After a while, someone inside started sang a song full of youthful energy, accompaniment by tapping the table. The singing sounded a little soft and ethereal through the door, but it was still clear: "Do you hear people sing?"

Yin Shuyao turned around and went downstairs holding the notebook, humming softly this folk song which was very popular in Zhongchao.

She didn't know who wrote this song, she only knew that when the citizen army organized marches and demonstrations, they would lead and encourage everyone to sing this song together. The melody was uplifting and the lyrics were sonorous and powerful. Over time, she also learned to hum it.

She walked down the stairs slowly, and just as she reached the last step, a familiar young man's voice was heard.

"You seem to be in a good mood today, Miss Yin."

Yin Shuyao froze for a moment, then slowly turned her gaze to her side.

The mysterious Mr. Tadashi was dressed like a young factory owner.

Compared to his true identity, his current attire is too low-key.

He wore a simple English-style baseball cap, which was just the right length to cover most of his face. He matched his deliberately restrained aura and the simple casual clothes popular in Zhongchao, so that she didn't realize he was sitting next to her at first glance.

[When did he come?!]
"What's wrong?" Seeing Yin Shuyao standing there stiffly, Horatio, who saw her like this for the first time, was a little curious and asked.

"Nothing, sir. When did you come?"

"Just now." He replied with a smile.

"I didn't recognize you at all."

"So this disguise seems to be effective?" Horatio looked into her eyes, flicked his cap, and asked in a nonchalant manner.

The girl nodded, instantly realizing that he was checking the effectiveness of her disguise.

"Sir, are you preparing...?"

Horatio nodded, and the girl understood immediately and stopped asking questions.

The young man stood up, and she walked towards the bar tactfully. Horatio followed her, then turned around and walked into a VIP box next to the bar.

There is a square shutter on the wall between the bar and this private room.

"What would you like to drink today?" The girl outside the window smiled again and asked considerately.

"'Warrior's Proof'."

"no problem."

The girl took out a little gin, brandy, vodka, dark rum, etc., added sour fruit juice, and mixed them with pure water. This is the "Warrior's Certificate". This is a strong liquor originated from the port area.

The most popular theory is that during the Gothic War, sailors wanted to draw courage from alcohol and show their determination to fight to the death with Chaos, so the drink was created.

Its ingredients were simple, as supplies were cut off during the Gothic Wars and all kinds of alcohol became scarce.

The sailors drank whatever they had on hand. If there was not enough, they mixed some kind of wine with water.

After the victory of the Gothic War, this wine was passed down. Over time, this originally ordinary wine was given the special meaning of "victory in every battle" because of the glorious historical story.

As for Yin Shuyao, according to the code word agreed upon before, Horatio ordered this wine, which meant that he wanted her to hand over all the organized information to him.

"Where's Yoyo? I seem to have not seen her for a while." The girl stood in front of the blinds, deftly performing various performance moves with her hands, mixing the cocktails. She made slight sounds with her throat, so soft that only the two of them could hear it.

"She's fine, but she's been a little busy lately, so I came here to order the drinks myself," Horatio said through the blinds.

A beautiful upright bottle rested steadily on the back of Yin Shuyao's snow-white and delicate hand. After mixing the cocktail, she placed the glass on a cloth-covered tray, opened the blinds, handed it in, and then closed the blinds again.

As she closed the dark green shutters, Horatio took the wine glass from the tray and turned over the tablecloth, revealing a neatly placed small book underneath.

Horatio opened it and quickly scanned the words.

While ensuring confidentiality, the Black Wing Society's labor agents conducted advance reconnaissance of the terrain near the site of the giant ritual of the 'Flesh-Eating Lord'.

They also sneaked in a lot of people who could create chaos on the field, and eventually join forces with the imperial army led by Horatio to catch the cultists off guard.

Quickly jotting down the code words to summon the undercover agent, Horatio destroyed the little book with the light from the candlestick and replaced it with a new one in its place.

This one contained his information about the Black Wing Society's investigation into the mysterious 'club' and the location of the illegal publishing house, and also included a check as funding for the Black Wing Society's operations and for bribing informants.

Then he covered it with a cloth, picked up the wine glass, and drank the wine in one gulp.

He opened the blinds again and handed the tray with empty cups to Yin Shuyao.

The girl took it from him, put the tray away under the bar as usual where no one could see it, and secretly took Horatio's mission instructions out of it.

Then, she used her slender white fingers to twist the handle on the side, three circles forwards and three circles backwards.

A mechanical cabinet slowly extended out, and the girl used her fair and slender hands to stuff the small notebook into the special mechanical cabinet.

The secret information transmission between the two people was carried out naturally and without any clues.

In order to meet the needs of the current special period, Horatio ordered Black Wing to spread the secret network throughout the Vegas area.

Relying on workers' clubs and small workers' gangs spontaneously formed in various positions.

Many members have worked at the same workplace as their co-workers for decades, and the relationship between them may be no less than that of family members.

Relying on this relationship, the labor gang members developed informants in a way that was both covert and effective.

With a single line of contact, the intelligence circle spreads out layer by layer. The informants don’t know who they are working for, but they know that what they see can be exchanged for money and scarce materials that can improve their lives.

Therefore, in their daily lives, they pay extra attention to those strange and weird things and places, then write them down and secretly exchange them for a small sum of money from the "guide" who developed them.

These complex and disorganized intelligence will eventually be gathered by the Black Wing Society and screened and compared by Horatio's chosen confidants.

First, pick out the information that appears frequently and a lot. The more people are saying the same thing, the more it proves that it is true.

Then, they pick out the information clues that meet the mission requirements and are worthy of attention, and hand them over to Youyou and other agents for investigation and verification.

In the end, the Black Wing Society will hand over the screened and verified news to Yin Shuyao for systematic organization, and finally deliver it to Horatio.

He didn't need to spend much time. He could find out who was causing trouble thousands of meters underground by staying in the Admiralty Fortress without leaving his room.

However, such convenience does not come without cost.

Nowadays, a considerable amount of money is spent every month to maintain the normal operation of this intelligence network.

This made Horatio start to think about the increasingly expensive capital chain.

And what will happen to Blackwing in the future after this incident.
