0004 Cleanup Task

"Your task is to go in from here, to the deepest depths, where you should be able to find a teleportation circle, and use it to get back to the surface. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After the end of the contact in the Underworld, Ren Kui took Wei Yi and his new colleagues to the bottom of the moat on the outskirts of the city, this place is lower than the ground of the "afterlife", looking at the two brick walls on both sides of the surrounding neat but without the slightest trace of water, presumably there has never been one in this moat - because it is completely meaningless to the underworld, at this time, Director Ren is holding his arms to explain the task. And on the wall of the river beside him, there was a deep cavern with a strange green light flashing at the edge.

"Hey, what kind of task is this, cleaning up the exile abyss that will never be clean?"

It looked strange that a hole appeared suddenly in the solid wall, but it was clear that Hong Ying knew very well what this thing was.

"Although I know that it exists, it turns out that there is an exit here."

Leah was a little surprised, as if she was upset when she realized that she didn't know something she should know so well.

Exile Abyss...... is a general term for the large number of cavities located beneath the surface of the underworld and the passages that connect them...... So far, no one has been able to reach its deepest depths, or even whether it has an end, and most importantly, the part of the Exile Abyss near the surface that occasionally has a passage that shows its entrance in an uncertain position, whether it is a problem for the inhabitants to enter by mistake or the "thing" inside to come out,

Closing those entrances is one of the jobs of the Underworld, but if you enter, ......

Wey didn't speak, just looked thoughtfully at the entrance of the passage.

"The presence of a small number of 'ghosts' has been detected, and the threat level of the shallow exile abyss area ahead has been confirmed to be low."

Lu Yao didn't have any special reaction, and said after closing his eyes slightly.

"Hehe, it's nice to have a group of smart subordinates, as you guessed, this passage is connected to the 'Banished Abyss', and the appearance of this cave is 'planned', just so that you can carry out a preliminary run-in, and clean up those things inside along the way, killing two birds with one stone, who has other problems?"

Ren Kui's previous meanness was just to test Wei Yi's captain's qualifications, but at this time, he showed his true colors, and he was just a bearded uncle who liked to be funny and lazy.

No...... What else hasn't he said...... There is no information to judge now, but there will be some "surprises".

"Well, before that, here's something you need to take."

Seeing that everyone had no other questions, Ren Kui took out a cloth bag from his sleeve, took out the contents and handed them to several people.

"Stygian Hunt Waist Card? But it doesn't seem the same. ”

Hong Ying pinched the wooden card less than half the size of his palm and looked it up and down.

People who see the waist card, the first thing to notice must be that it occupies more than seventy percent of the area, the big black "catch" word, and then you will see the word above, a relief of the hand in a grasping posture, it looks as if this hand is showing the waist card, and around the word "catch", many colored lines are staggered and entangled to form a word frame around it, and those lines are still flowing and flashing if you look closely.

"It's different from ordinary Immortal Catchers and Immortal Guards, these have a lot of extra functions attached, what are the new products of what room, oh, the specific Xiao Yao should know - you work hard."

Ren Kui had an expression of "it's very troublesome to explain", and after dividing the waist card, he casually explained and left.

"It's the third new chamber -- it can be worn on any end of clothing."

Lu Yao explained, and then the demo version put the waist card in his hand close to the tail of the diagonal chain, only to hear the "click", the waist card and the pearl were tightly embedded together, and the lines on it gradually faded, and finally only left two colors: golden and blue.

"Oh? Seems interesting. ”

Do you analyze the wearer's appearance and adjust yourself for aesthetics...... Thirdly, the people who develop this thing in the new agency are really boring......

With two soft sounds, Wei Yi and Hong Ying pinned their waist tags to the neckline and cuffs respectively, and the color of the pattern changed to bright red and dark brown respectively.

"Isn't this called a 'waist card'? Wouldn't it be put elsewhere - hey? ”

Lea was holding the belt close to it, as if thinking about how to fix it, and the sign seemed to perceive a white ribbon that hung herself on the belt, and the color of the trim quickly changed to ice blue.

"Alright, guys, we've wasted a lot of time, and although we should still show you what you can do, I already have a rough idea of what to do, so let's move on to our first mission."

Wei Yi clapped his hands, interrupted his companions who were observing his waist cards, and when he saw that everyone had noticed him, he smiled slightly, turned around and walked into the cave.

――――

"So that's what the inside of the Exile Abyss looks like."

Leah expressed surprise at her surroundings - or rather expressed the feeling that "it is better to see than to hear".

By this time, the Einsatzpen group had already gone some distance into the cave, and unlike the expected darkness and danger, the three- or four-person-high circular passageway, the paved masonry path on the ground, and the wall lamps that would appear every once in a while clearly indicated that they were man-made.

"Because it's 'controlled' here, the director said before that this is just an exercise, and I don't know if these artifacts are the means or the result of control."

Wei Yi was leading the way, looking ahead on alert.

"I know you should be prepared, but how are you going to deal with an encounter if you don't bring out your weapons?"

Leah, who had one hand on his waist and seemed to be holding something, was looking at the captain's empty hands with a little worried gaze.

"Peace of mind, blue girl, the captain should be a 'boxer', and there are many brothers like this who don't hold weapons but have very hard fists."

Hong Ying, who was at the end of the line, had already taken out his weapon, a huge red battle axe, and bright white lightning was rolling through the blade.

"Blue, blue girl? Then I'll call you...... Hum. ”

Li Ya glanced at his hair, and when he was about to return the mouth, he found that the other party's hair was indeed red, so he glanced at Hong Ying and stopped continuing the topic.

"As for me, I'm not a 'boxer', but a 'defender', and in the case of weaponsβ€”"

Ahead was a corner of the cave, and Wey stopped and turned to explain to his two companions, and just as he turned his back to the corner, something jumped out of it.

"Be careful!" "Hey! Behind you! ”

Although it was unlikely that the things in the shallow banishment abyss would hurt anyone present, Li Ya and Hong Ying still subconsciously warned them.

"-This!"

Wei Yi spun around and punched back, and in the process, a pair of black metal rings on his wrists that looked like bracers protruded outward, and then extended a semi-arced plate-like structure to the elbows and palms, which looked like a weapon called the Spinning Stick.

There was a bang, and the thing that was still flipping and approaching its head was hit by the "whirlwind", and then fell apart with a bang.

"Changeling: Goblin, disembodied, patchwork debris to attack, traits: vulnerable, threat: very low."

Lu Yao glanced at the scattered lanterns, sticks, leaves, and rags, and explained the first enemy everyone encountered.

Disembodied words...... That is, if you give it time to reassemble the clutter, it can reappear.

"So my first battle only broke up a bunch of rags?"

Wei Yi deliberately made a very helpless appearance to wipe the weapon that looked like a whirling stick.

"If we meet again, let's go one by one in order, and we can also use this to familiarize ourselves with each other's fighting styles."

Leah smiled and made a suggestion.

"Rock turtle approaching detected, please leave the wall."

After saying the ghost information, Lu Yao, who had been in a daze, suddenly turned his head, looked at the cave wall behind Li Ya and said.

"Is that the kind of guy who makes holes everywhere? They don't belong to the Abyss. ”

Lea was startled and hurriedly left the place.

"This is an 'unplanned' event, you must be prepared for this at any time, Miss."

Hong Ying raised his axe high and aimed it at the position where Lu Yao was watching.

"Boom!"

With the sound of the stone wall cracking, a huge turtle that was half a human tall broke through the wall and rolled in, its whole body was gray-white, and there were sharp spines on the central axis.

"Rock Turtle, Stone Demon, Rolling Charge Attack, Characteristics: Strong, Threat: Low."

Lu Yao stood in place and looked at the stone turtle and continued to explain, a few flying stones that broke through the wall paused strangely in the air and fell straight down when they were about to approach her.

"What? Low? This thing is a key target at the border, and if there are three or two of them, it can ruin most of our hard work in one day! ”

Hong Ying seemed to say with a lot of resentment, and at the same time, the giant axe roared down with a trace of electricity.

Boom! Click, click, click-

With the loud sound of the giant axe falling, the stone turtle that had just stretched its body froze, and the part of its back that was hit was constantly extending the crack outward, and finally the whole turtle completely collapsed into a pile of rubble, and it was completely impossible to see the murderer who made a hole in the wall.

It seems that the Netherworld Hunt cannot completely control even the shallowest level of the Abyss...... And a large part of those chaotic passages should be the work of these native monsters......

"Everyone has seen the fighting style of Brother Hong Ying and me, if nothing else, we should be able to get through this mission all the way, but because it needs to be run-in, so next you two will also find a chance to make a move, of course, I will make sure that you are not attacked."

Wei Yi looked at the rock turtle that had been destroyed, nodded, and said to the girls with two "whirling sticks" in his hand.

"It's very reliable as a 'defender', but we should deal with the enemies that may arise here."

Li Ya, who was about to pull something out of his waist after the rock turtle appeared, smiled slightly, let go of his hand and patted Lu Yao's hood.

"No hostile targets were detected, and everyone can move on."

Because of being touched on the head, Lu Yao raised his head and stared at Li Ya, blinked and retracted his gaze after the other party smiled in return, and said after scanning around.
