Ian, who saw the situation clearly, was also startled, and just when he wanted to consciously dissolve his psychic power, Leykin's spirit body had naturally dissipated.

"What the hell are you doing?"

“...... I don't know......" Ian was speechless, rubbing his temples throbbing, "It's never been like this. I had only been in nightmares before, unconsciously allowing Zach to manifest their spirits. But during this time with the witch, there was almost no longer that nightmare. ”

"It's good that no one else saw it......," Sid looked around with trepidation, "I looked up and suddenly saw Reggin sitting across from me, it was terrifying!"

"I'm still not very good at controlling my psychics. Ian smiled embarrassedly, "I accidentally fell asleep just now, and the dream of Rejin may be too realistic, so I unconsciously embodied him in reality." ”

"You're still laughing," Sid had already sat back in his seat, "There are far fewer people who can use psychic powers than there used to be, but not at all. Forget about the killer guild and the thief guild, there are many people in the mercenary guild who still rely on this to eat. If you have a chance in the future, you can go to them to find out. ”

"Hmm. By the way, I heard that a big city like Najian City has a psychic power research association, so can you also go to ......?"

"The Empire's can't," Sid interrupted Ian, "Behind the Psychic Research Association, they are all inextricably linked to the government, and our current situation is too dangerous. Let's talk about it in the Federation. ”

The two of them were quietly discussing their plans for the Federation in the tavern, and before they knew it, it was getting dark. After a hasty dinner, and watching the night get darker, he left the tavern and walked towards the currency area.

The various districts are arranged around the central district, and the circular arterial road passes through the various districts, connecting them. Sid and Ian feared that they would be raided by the night guard soldiers on the main road, so they simply made their way down the alley to the currency area.

The alleys are dimly lit at night and generally less pedestrians, especially at this time after dinner. But the two of them were surprised to find that there were so many people wandering the alleys tonight. And the further you go, the more likely you are to meet people in the alley. Every stranger is like Ian, sneaky and silent.

When I arrived at the agreed place, there was still a while before the time agreed by the snakehead, but the situation around the alley made people feel terrifying and weird.

The alley is not long, and the surrounding area is not open, but there are many figures standing silently inside. No one moved, no one talked, like a pile of stone statues piled together. Ian pulled Rashid and motioned for him not to go over and stand farther away to see what was going on.

I saw that there were shadows in the alley, standing, squatting or sitting, and there were at least a dozen people. They all didn't say a word, and kept their distance from each other very tacitly.

"Wait for someone?" Sid and Ian both had the same guess in their heads at the same time, looking at each other.

"Isn't this guy just taking the two of us out......" Sid said in a very soft voice.

Suddenly, everyone heard a series of unhurried footsteps coming from the post station outside the alley. Leather shoes made a crisp clattering sound when they stepped on the stone-paved road.

The thick clouds in the sky keep the moon in check. There were no torches or oil lamps in the alley, and there was a faint light from the windows on the second floor of the houses on both sides, so that people could barely see the environment of the alley. Ian felt everyone in the room hold their breath, staring at the source of the footsteps.

The footsteps stopped abruptly at the mouth of the alley, followed by a figure cast on the ground outside the alley by the light of the street. The shadow paused for a moment, and then walked in.

The people closest to the figure in the alley slowly leaned in, and whispers were heard, and the people who followed closely behind also slowly leaned over.

"What's going on?" Ian couldn't see what they were doing, and couldn't hear what they were saying.

"It's the head of the snake, isn't it? Sid guessed, "Let's get closer." ”

As soon as Sid and Ian approached, they saw a man coming towards them from the crowd, and then they heard the head of the snake crying out, "Is Heath Barn coming?"

"It's coming. Sid remembered his fake name and quickly answered.

When the figure heard the sound, he walked towards them, and when he got closer, it was indeed the "head of the snake".

"Did you bring the money? You're going to pay me 36 gold coins. "The head of the snake opened his mouth and asked for money.

"Bring it," Sid pinched the money bag in his hand and didn't give it to him, and pointed to the dozen people behind him, "What's going on?"

The head of the snake didn't move the money bag, he was stunned, and responded: "It's the same as you!"

"Can you transport so many people out at once?"

The snake head let go of his hand: "Friend, if you want to believe me, just pay the money and go with us, if you don't believe it, you can go back and figure out a way by yourself, don't waste everyone's time." At this time, the people behind the head of the snake also followed, waiting behind him.

"Okay. Sid saw that the few people behind the head of the snake were indeed the type that the empire had been interrogating recently, either similar to his own size or similar to Ian. Sid couldn't help but curse in his heart: The profiteer really knows how to do business, and it is estimated that he will wander around the city all day, but whenever he meets someone who looks almost qualified, he will go and talk.

The head of the snake got the money, raised his hand, and shouted softly: "Walk lightly, follow me." ”

Ian and Sid followed him, along with a dozen others like them, all silent, walking lightly behind the snakehead. The group was led by a snake leader, avoiding the guards of the night watch, and chose a dimly lit place to walk. The scene made Ian feel nervous and weird, as if he had become a fugitive who could not see the light of day, and that this city of Najian was a prison.

They didn't go far before the head of the snake led them to the gate of a sewer in the currency area. He motioned for everyone to stop, and then stepped forward alone. I don't know if he pulled out the key or some kind of lock pick, but Ian only heard a slight thud of Ding Lingdang, and then the iron gate "creaked" open.

The head of the snake turned around and waved his hand again to signal everyone to follow, and everyone followed him into the sewer again.

People stand in arched pipes, with a dry waterway in the middle and rough stone-paved paths on either side, not even wide enough for two people to walk side by side.

"This is the drainage channel when Najian City was first built," the snake head explained after closing the door and walking back to the front of the waterway, standing on the waterway in the middle, "The drainage system was renovated during the expansion of the city more than ten years ago, and through this discarded part of the drainage system, it can be fed into the new drainage system, and then it can go out through the drainage outlet outside the city." ”

Ian heard a small cheer, and someone was secretly cheering. But Ian frowned, looking worried. The sewers are very dark, and it is very easy to get lost in the criss-crossing drainage system. The slums of Black Eagle City also have such abandoned drain gates, and Ian was naughty as a child, and once he got into the drain, he almost got lost. Zach begged his neighbors to search for help, and he was so frightened that he cried when he was pulled out by adults...... This lost experience is still fresh in his memory.

However, it seemed that these people around him didn't care about getting lost, and only one person in the crowd said to the snake head in a cold voice: "Then we have to follow you, this is a labyrinth the size of Najian City." ”

The head of the snake lit a torch and said as he walked: "This part in the middle is the waterway, of course, there is no water in this abandoned place now, so we can walk here." But," he said, glancing at the fork in the road ahead, as if to discern the direction or find the right route from memory, "when we get to the working passageway, there will be a lot of standing water in the middle, and although the water is not deep, I don't think you will want to step into it—God knows what dirt will be in there? So when we get to the water, we will take the side aisle." Then you will follow me in a line, one by one, by the light of the men and the torches in front of you. Don't lose it, or you'll end up in this labyrinth of drains. ”

"What's the dirty thing he said ......?" Ian couldn't help but ask Sid.

"Well, maybe it's literal, mud with rotten plants or something," Sid smirked, "but maybe it's a demon or something? I've heard that the people of the Old Kingdoms of the East called ghosts and ghosts unclean." ”

"Did you say that psionic power could kill those things......" Ian's eyes shimmered with a pale blue glow.

"Hey, hey, I'm kidding!" Sid hurriedly stopped Ian, and although the torches were already lit in front of him, the point of inspirational light was still very conspicuous in the dimly lit environment. Fortunately, no one looked back at this time.

"I'm kidding, too. ”

The stranger behind them reprimanded: "You two, be quiet, why are you talking so much!"

"It's just that no one can run away if they are discovered by the sergeants!" said the people around him.

Ian stuck out his tongue at Sid.

They followed the light of the fire in front of them to turn left and right, and at some point they suddenly heard the sound of water in their ears. Immediately after, the people in front began to lean against the narrow aisle by the wall, forming a column.

Sid walked to the front, turned back to Ian and said, "Looks like the new drainage system is coming, you follow me." ”

Although there was the light of the torches not far ahead, the passages of each drain were nearly two stories high, and the light of the fire seemed so faint in this labyrinthine of empty and staggered channels. The darkness around them made it a little difficult to distinguish between distance and distance, and the sense of distance became difficult to judge in their eyes.

Ian and Sid's side didn't have any extra torches. In the darkness, everyone followed one after the other, and from time to time they would step on the feet of their predecessors, causing a burst of swearing and swearing.

The water was getting louder and louder, and Ian guessed it was on the main road. The front stopped, and the shout of the head of the snake came: "We have already walked more than half of the way! Turn this intersection, go a few more intersections in front, and you can get out!"

When everyone heard this, they were all overjoyed.

After the head of the snake finished speaking, he took the lead from the intersection and turned right along the passage with the firelight. Before the people behind could catch up, they heard a pop, and the light of the torch suddenly went out. There was no shouting, nothing but the sound of water and darkness.

Everyone behind him was stunned, the person behind the head of the snake had not yet walked around this corner, and the sudden change made him not know whether he should go up or not.

"Snake head?" he called tentatively.

There was no answer.

That dark corner seemed to him at the moment to have a tremendous force that prevented him from taking even a small step forward.
