Volume 1: The Curtain of the Night, Chapter 101: Revisiting Leiden
Clara, Leiden District.
At this time, it is still early, there are few pedestrians on the road, and occasionally a cold wind blows, blowing up pieces of fallen leaves to fly around passers-by, and the streets of Leiden District at this time have a little hazy and illusory feeling.
On the street where there should be few people, a group of mysterious people with different temperaments suddenly appeared, some of these mysterious people were wearing black cloaks and could not see their faces clearly, and they looked extremely mysterious; some were dressed in formal dresses and did not hide their appearances, the whole person was handsome and moving, and the rest of them were also dressed in their own ways.
This group of mysterious people who suddenly appeared on the streets of Leiden City were actually Xia Zuo and his party.
Xia Zuo and his party wanted to explore Leiden again, hoping to find useful clues.
There are six members of the Night Veil, three members of the Shadow Order, and finally the addition of former Soul Hunter Hunter Hunter and Riley and Panis from the Soul Descendant Council, for a total of twelve people.
Xia Zuo's group moved very quickly, and soon arrived in the Leiden district, and were now heading towards the Constron construction site, where the subspecies black dragon had previously hidden.
The location of Constrang's construction site is relatively remote, roughly on the edge of Leiden District, and despite the incredible speed of the Soul Descendants, they were unable to reach Constrang's construction site for a while.
"I always feel ...... Recently, there seems to be a lot less pedestrians on the roadside in Leiden. Xia Zuo followed in the footsteps of everyone as he glanced at the street and muttered softly.
It's normal to have fewer people in the morning, but Leiden is an important part of the city, so even if there are fewer people in the morning, right?
"It's normal. The others didn't speak, only Fred smiled and said, "Probably due to the rumors of a huge black shadow, eighty percent of the residents of Leiden District now dare not go out when there is little traffic." ”
"I'm afraid of encountering some huge monster ...... suddenly"
"Okay, let's go on. Fred retracted the smile on his face and said seriously.
"Late is a change. ”
"We've been delaying it for so long, and we don't know what the situation is like now. ”
"Let's hope it's not a big problem. Xia Zuo couldn't help but bow his head.
Then Xia Zuo's mind moved, and a large amount of soul energy from Xia Zuo's body poured into Xia Zuo's feet again, and Xia Zuo's action speed suddenly increased, closely chasing the people who were moving quickly in front of him.
While Xia Zuo and Fred were chatting, the two had been slightly left behind by everyone.
Fred smiled lightly and sped up, keeping up with the others like Natsuzo.
... ...
Leiden District, Constron Construction Site.
Xia Zuo and his party finally came to this construction site.
This is a site that hides something mysterious and weird.
At this time, the sun has risen, and the sunlight is shining on the construction site, coating the construction site with a faint film of light.
However, there are not many workers in the huge construction site, and even if there are occasional workers, they are depressed and passive, with a look of panic and anxiety on their faces.
I saw a supervisor at the construction site holding a whip and loudly urging these workers to work, but few workers responded to the supervisor, and some even simply sat on the ground and refused to get up, arguing loudly with the overseer.
Xia Zuo and his party were even able to hear the conversation between the overseer and the workers.
"You lazy guys, you still don't want to come to work?!"
"Do you really think that our construction site is raising you moths for nothing?"
"Do you still want to be paid?!"
"If you want to be paid, give me the wages quickly, and I'll get out of the work!" the overseer scolded angrily.
"Please, big brother, you have to have a life to spend your salary, right?" the worker who sat on the ground unmoved, bowed his head and scratched his fingers on the ground.
"Isn't it enough for us to wake up to the disappearances and deaths of so many people for no apparent reason?"
"I still remember the newcomer who came some time ago, and I remember that there was a guy named Steele who had a very good appetite for me, and I originally wanted to take him as my little brother...... And as a result, it's not like there's no one left. ”
"It's all gone. ”
"So many people...... Hahahaha. Weird low chuckles.
The worker sitting on the ground seemed to be in a somewhat unusual state, like a mad psychopath.
"But so many of us have to work hard to the death, isn't it just to earn this salary for ourselves?"
"If you can't live to get this salary, then what's the point of it?"
"Keep it and send it back to honor your parents? Don't joke, brother. ”
"If I am gone, sooner or later this salary will be devoured by you greedy wolves. ”
"I don't want to just drag it out now. ”
"I don't think this site is suitable for existence. ”
"I said, guys, why don't we get up and ask the foreman for their wages and then break up together?"
"There are so many of us, and there is nothing we can do with the overseer and the foreman. ”
"How's it going?" said the worker sitting on the ground as he looked up slightly at the other workers.
"You!" the overseer couldn't help but be furious, "Griman, you madman!
"You don't gossip here!"
"Don't think that you have a little fame in this group of people to be reckless like this!"
"Do you believe that I'm going to report you to the foreman right now and fire you?!"
"Huh...... I can't ask for it. Named Griman lowered his head again, not looking at the overseer too much, "This ominous construction site...... I've wanted to leave for a long time. ”
"If it weren't for the brothers, and that little bit of wage, you wouldn't have been able to stop me at this broken construction site. ”
"So...... Brothers, will you come with me?"
"This broken construction site, don't wait!" Griman stood up sharply, as if some kind of fire was burning under his eyes, staring at the crowd.
"Brother Griman......" The workers didn't dare to look directly at Gleman, who was indignant at this time, and lowered their heads one after another, "Big Brother Gleeman, I'm sorry." ”
"We all know you're amazing...... But if we break up the contract like this, the foreman will not let us go. One of the workers walked out with a deep trepidation on his face.
The foreman at Constrand's construction site seemed to be a terrifying figure.
It can make the workers at these construction sites dare not easily escape despite the frequent supernatural phenomena on the construction site.
"And maybe it was just an accident...... Maybe Steele, they're just secretly breaking up. ”
"To be honest, I'm scared of the weird construction site right now. ”
"But when I was told to protest to the foreman, I was even more afraid. ”
"Big Brother Griman...... Shall we bear with it?" said the young worker, who hesitated for a long time.
"Haha...... That's right, that's how you get acquainted. The overseer couldn't help but smile smugly when he saw this, then turned sideways slightly, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, it was obvious that despite the arrogance of the overseer's face just now, the overseer actually felt very nervous.
In the event of a rebellion among these workers, it is not something that he, as a mere overseer, can suppress.
I'm afraid only the foreman can cure these guys.
The foreman at Constrand's construction site was no ordinary man, he was said to be extremely powerful, able to lift boulders, and excellent with his fists and feet, and once a strong worker who was nearly two meters tall was dissatisfied with the foreman's orders and clashed with the foreman.
As a result, the foreman broke the hands and feet of the strong worker and threw the strong worker out of the construction site like garbage.
Since then, no one on the site has dared to question the foreman's orders.
The strength of the foreman is simply exaggerated to the point that it does not look like a human being.
"Griman, what else do you have to say now?"
"Let's hurry up and get to work!"
"Otherwise, I won't have patience with the whip in my hand!" the overseer threatened.
"Hehe......" Griman chuckled, then sat back down, motionless.
"I know you boys don't have the guts...... Forget it, it's just that I didn't know you brothers. ”
"Do what you want. ”
"Anyway, I don't want to work hard for this broken construction site. ”
"How daring!" said the overseer, who was about to whip Griman with his whip.
Before, the overseer did not dare to really use the whip, and the whip in his hand was only a deterrent, precisely because the overseer was worried about the collective riot of the workers, but at this time, the other workers had already stated that they would not start a riot with Griman, which made the overseer feel relieved and had the idea of using the whip.
In addition, since the abnormal phenomenon occurred at this construction site, the workers have had varying degrees of passive slacking, which is very unfavorable to the construction of the construction site.
For the sake of the construction of the site, and to serve as a deterrent to the workers, the overseer decided to teach Griman a lesson with a whip here.
However, as the Overseer's whip was about to hit Griman, Griman remained motionless.
There was no fear in Griman's eyes.
It didn't seem like a whip was being whipped at Gryman.
... ...
At the entrance of the construction site, Xia Zuo saw this scene and couldn't help but rush over to stop the overseer, but Fred suddenly blocked Xia Zuo.
"Don't worry, this person is a little special. Fred smiled mysteriously.
Xia Zuo was stunned, as if he didn't realize what Fred's words meant, but then, Xia Zuo looked at Griman who was sitting quietly on the ground from a distance, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
This force ...... This is......
... ...
At the moment when the Overseer's whip was about to draw Griman, Griman suddenly raised his head, stretched out his right hand, and grabbed the Overseer's whip with unmistakable accuracy, so that the Overseer, who was holding the whip in his hand, could not move for a moment.
"You...... You ......" the Overseer's face was full of incredulity, his pupils narrowed as he stared at Griman in front of him, "how is it possible! How can you have such power!"
"You monster!" the Overseer's eyes suddenly appeared in horror, and the Overseer noticed that Gryman's right hand holding the whip suddenly spread out some black crystals, which reflected the overseer's terrified pupils, like glittering scales.
"What kind of monster?!" Griman's hand suddenly forced, and with a flick of the whip in his hand, he threw the terrified overseer out!
"If you really want to talk about it...... Foreman, he's the real monster, isn't he?" Haha......" Griman slowly stood up, and Griman at this time had a bit of a crazy and terrifying temperament.
Like a madman, like a monster or a demon.
"Others will go missing...... I'm going to be like this monster...... Foreman, he's the culprit!"
"Haha...... I didn't know why he was clinging to this construction site, but now I understand!"
"It's just these damn, monster things!"
"Let the foreman get out of here!"
"You're no match for me right now!"
"As you wish. A middle-aged man dressed in gray had come up behind the overseer at some point, and the man's eyes were gray, giving people a sense of mystery and strangeness.
It's as if the person in front of you is not a living person.
The workers looked at the man in front of them with fear on their faces.
This man was none other than the foreman of Constron's construction site, Draal Constrang.
"What a surprise to me, Griman, I didn't expect you to get this kind of power......"
"So far...... I can't just let you go. Draal sneered.
"You're the only one, how much courage do you have to deal with me, who is now even stronger?"
"Huh...... How do you know if you don't try?" asked Griman rhetorically, a little frantically.
"Haha......" Draal sneered, and was about to refute Gryman, but the expression on his face suddenly froze, as if he saw something behind Gryman.
Gleeman couldn't help but look back in confusion.
I saw that more than a dozen mysterious people with different clothes and temperaments suddenly appeared behind Gryman, and these mysterious people seemed to exude some kind of terrifying power, which made Draal feel an unusually heavy sense of oppression.
"Who said that...... He's only one man?"
It was Xia Zuo and his party, a total of twelve soul hunters.
