In the wee hours of the morning, the sky is already starting to shine, but the sun has not yet risen, and special professions such as thugs, drunks, addicts, drug dealers, and street girls who have been busy all night have long since returned to their respective homes, and those who have no home have hid in empty corners or abandoned houses to prepare for sleep, and the whole of Los Angeles is silent, except for the occasional chirping of birds.

Normally, even bars and strip clubs that are open at night are temporarily closed at this time, while those that are open during the day do not open until at least an hour or two later.

But the funny thing is that there is an inconspicuous antique gun shop near the corner, but the lights have never been turned off from beginning to end, and there are always two people standing in the store chatting without saying a word.

"This is the kind of place you say?" Mansha stood in the distance, watching the scene in the gun shop, her tone revealing intense curiosity.

Just like many rookies when they first stepped into the underground world, they were always full of all kinds of unrealistic fantasies.

"That's right! You could understand that this is a meeting place under the rule of a lord. The next thing to do is walk inside, show off your abilities to the two guys guarding the entrance, and then go inside to register and become a citizen of the underworld. From now on, you will have to hand over a portion of all your earnings, and you will also be protected by the lord, and a cleaner will take care of the aftermath in case of trouble. Zhang Cheng replied bluntly.

"What about you, won't you come in with me?" the girl subconsciously tugged at the blazer draped over her body, turned around and pretended to be pitiful.

But Zhang Cheng, who was already hard-hearted, just smiled and explained in a slightly playful tone: "No, my identity is a bit special, and if I go in, it will cause a certain amount of turmoil." Trust me, you wouldn't want to see that happen. Remember, don't reveal our previous relationship, just tell them that they have suddenly awakened certain powers, and then meet a wizard who will introduce you to the underworld. ”

"Alright!" Mansha shrugged her shoulders helplessly, plucking up the courage to walk towards the gun shop.

She had just drunk a vial of Evolution Potion 6.0 just forty minutes earlier, so she already had a little bit of spell casting ability, incredible speed, and strength, and it was a breeze to pass the inspection.

Zhang Cheng unbuttoned his shirt and sat on a bench on the side of the road and waited patiently.

About half an hour later, when the first rays of sunlight came out of the place where the sea and the sky met, the girl finally ran out with an excited face, and quickly crossed the road and shouted excitedly: "Oh my God, do you know what I just saw? Legendary werewolves, vampires, and pointy-eared elves! And witches who can turn people into frogs! Unbelievable!"

"Calm down! Girl! There's nothing you can't beat! You're already a member of the underworld, and you can come every day if you want to. But one thing to keep in mind is that it's best not to get into trouble with anyone, and don't try to get too close to someone, or I guarantee you won't be in great danger and trouble in no time. ”

What is the Underworld?

Strictly speaking, a group of monsters with powerful supernatural powers, and completely unbound by the laws of the ordinary world.

Many of them have the mentality of having the power to do whatever they want, so much so that there are far more acts of forcible X, deception, murder, and plunder than ordinary people, and nearly a third of them end up because they are not in danger of being exposed.

Zhang Cheng didn't want his important pawn to turn into a cold corpse one day, or cry and watch to take revenge on some bastard who had violated him.

"I don't think I'm a fool! How do you think I've been protecting myself from those bastards all these years in college?" Mansha spread her hands, and there was a hint ......of smugness in her eyes.

American colleges and universities are areas with a high incidence of rape cases, even the famous West Point Military Academy is no exception, not to mention the more popular UCLA.

There are even many rape suspects who are very familiar with friends on weekdays, which is simply unguardable.

If a girl can guarantee that she has not encountered such a situation once in four years, then she not only has a very intelligent mind, but also has a more vigilant heart than her peers.

"I hope so, well, that's all for today's conversation, you should be tired too, go back to your lodgings and rest." I'm going to be in Los Angeles for the next few days, and remember to call me if there's something to do. With that, Zhang Cheng turned around and planned to return to the hotel he had booked to take a shower, and continued to study the remaining books and slates in his backpack.

But before he could take a few steps, Mansha grabbed him from behind: "Hey, wait! Are you going to let me walk back alone? I don't even have a penny on me! Also, are you sure that the surveillance footage of me walking into that fast-food restaurant with the professor won't attract police questioning?"

"I'm sorry, I forgot about your pennilessness. Here's a thousand dollars in cash, you take it first. I'll be crediting $200,000 to your account by this afternoon at the latest. Also, don't worry about the police thing, I'll let the cleaner take care of it, there won't be any problems. Oh, I almost forgot, since your body is strengthened, for the sake of your boyfriend's health, it's best to roll the sheets before you can control the force, or you'll hear the screams of the man after the lower half of his body breaks. ”

As the last word fell, an undisguised evil taste appeared on Zhang Cheng's face.

"Shet, I don't have a boyfriend! I don't need you to worry about this kind of thing!" Annoyed Mansha raised her middle finger and snatched ten Franklins, stopped a taxi, and slowly disappeared at the end of the road.

Facing the morning sun, the shattered magic crystal hidden under the hair began to slowly absorb the sun's energy to replenish the losses consumed last night.

Instead of hailing a taxi or using teleportation magic, Zhang Cheng walked along the main road, admiring the chaos on the beach on his right.

As he walked and thought about his next plan, he suddenly heard a news report on the TV of a house on the side of the road.

"According to a report released by the U.S. Earthquake Information Center in the early hours of this morning, the largest volcanic crater in Yellowstone National Park suddenly erupted! At the same time, it caused an earthquake measuring 7.5 on the Richter scale in the center, and many roads and public facilities collapsed. Judging from the traces at the scene, it is likely that it was caused by a meteorite impact, and now the entire crater has been exposed, constantly spewing amazing magma, and neither satellites nor other equipment can get close to ......"

"Oh-shit! Iconette, don't tell me this is what you call a little movement. The corners of Zhang Cheng's mouth twitched inadvertently.

He was able to assure that as soon as the Supreme Council of North America got the news, it would call an emergency meeting and send someone to find out what was really going on.
