Chapter 14: The Foot of the Mountain

When Lucy said his ranking in the organization, Ilumi tilted his head and suddenly inserted the chanting needle back into his shoulder: "Sequence five? So, there are four more powerful than you? ”

"You can think so, anyway, not ready to do it?" Feeling the killing intent that the other party dissipated, Lucy raised his eyebrows.

"Ah, I don't have a penchant for fighting people outside of the mission, it's enough to know certain things." Just like the awe-inspiring killing machine just now was just a joke, after getting the answer, Ilum turned around and left without any delay, and beckoned at the same time: "Mi Ji, Dad let you go." ”

Mi Ji glanced at Lucy at a loss, and the latter nodded slightly at him, gritted his teeth, and Mi Ji trotted to follow.

Just as the two of them were about to disappear outside the door, Lucy said lightly as if he remembered something.

"By the way, Ilumi, if you let me know that Mi Ji will be inserted by you again in the future, the next time we meet, we will not die."

Hearing this, Illumi paused, but did not react, and walked away.

After the brothers left, Lucy glanced in the direction of the hill and walked quickly into Karina's room: "Get ready, we'll leave right away." ”

Karina was finishing the last spell when a puppet appeared out of thin air as the ground light array lit up. She raised her head suspiciously: "I felt a malicious thought just now, and I thought you were going to do it with someone again, why did it end so quickly?" ”

Lucy's face was calm and he looked out the window: "It's the eldest son of the Hakka family who beat the enemy, and it seems that he discovered my purpose and just broke in." ”

"However, he wasn't sure he would take me, so he left directly, and now he should be reporting to Xiba."

"Shall we go now, then?" Karina approached him and asked.

"Well, if you don't leave, I'm afraid that when they make up their minds, it will be too late." Lucy looked back at the puppet and gradually sank into the ground after activation, "It just so happens that the puppet has already been laid down, and if it is not necessary, I don't want to set foot here until I summon it." ”

Holding Karina's hand, the two walked out of the mansion as if nothing had happened, and walked down the mountain. This time there was no one in the way, and soon they were through the courtyard from which they came. After a few days, the traces of the original battle had long been cleared, and only the faint smell of blood in the air proved that a housekeeper named Zi Po Nian had died here.

Walking down the trail, Karina finally couldn't help but ask, "Can you tell me what exactly you want to spy on?" ”

Lucy pondered for a moment, but decided to tell her some information: "Did I tell you before, Mi Ji fell out of favor because of his newborn brother's talent? ”

Karina nodded.

"Just after his brother was born, Giqiu, Miji's mother, gave birth to another child, named Alujah."

"The purpose of my coming to beat the enemy Hakka this time is for that child."

Seeing the girl's puzzlement, Lucy didn't explain too much: "It's too early to say this, you'll know later." ”

At this time, he could already see the towering gate of Yellow Springs at the foot of the mountain, and Lucy finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

From the moment he killed Zi Po Nian, he felt a vague gaze that had been hanging around his body, but he couldn't find the source.

With his strength after joining the frenzied plundering of Death Rose in the past few years, he can firmly lock him without being discovered by him, either he is a person with a special ability to telepathize, or that person's strength far surpasses him.

Lucy would rather be the former, if it was the latter possibility, only the old guy who had been in seclusion for many years in the Hakka family could do it.

Now, he didn't have any confidence in dealing with the kind of old monster that could compete with Nitro.

With a smile and a smile, he said hello to Ji Burong, and the two walked out of the range of the withered mountain. Glancing back at the deep mountains hidden by the sea of trees, Lu Xi let out a sigh: "This time it was a little ill-considered, if it wasn't for Mi Ji's cooperation, it would not be easy to get out." So Karina, do you have any plans for the next step? ”

Karina took out her phone and flipped through it: "I was originally chasing a bounty criminal, but you messed with it." According to the plan, I am also going to catch a thief here who stole one of the most valuable gems in the local museum a month ago and is now being rewarded with a billion rings! ”

"Well, as an atonement, let me help you." This time, the purpose of beating the enemy Hakka was achieved, and Luxi's mood also seemed very good, he raised his hand and called a taxi: "Find a hotel to settle down first." ”

At this moment, the feeling that made Lucy sit on pins and needles reappeared.

"Ho, it turned out to be for that thing, young man, can you tell the old man how you know about this?"

The smile on Lucy's face froze, and the taxi heading towards the two seemed to be under an inexplicable pressure from the top of their heads, and after a toothache of metal squeezing, the car and the driver inside turned into a blood-stained piece of iron.

The two turned around, and at some point, a short hedgehog-headed old man appeared outside the guard behind them. Beside him, he clasped his hands on his laps, and remained motionless in a bowed posture, his head almost touching the ground.

His trembling body could tell that he was deeply afraid of the old man.

"Karina!" Stretching out his hand to stop the girl's action of wanting to summon a weapon, Lucy stared firmly at the old man who appeared, with a solemn face: "Don't make a move, wait to see my signal, how far to escape!" ”

It was the first time Karina had seen Lucy feel so nervous, whether it was facing a vicious bounty or a powerful mafia, even if he faced a dozen or so mind-splitting people with various strange abilities alone two years ago, Lucy could calmly resolve and harvest their lives one by one.

But now this imposing short old man actually put so much pressure on Lucie, and even made him say the word "escape".

"I see." Karina didn't talk nonsense, she was sure that Lucy was much better than her, so she also trusted Lucy's judgment. Since he can make Lucy like a great enemy, it can only be said that this old man's strength has exceeded her reach.

The short old man stepped on a pair of clogs and walked across the ground like an ordinary old man. The distance between the two of them from the guard's room to Lucy was about a hundred meters, so he walked for a while before he walked in front of them.

Lucy couldn't help but want to strike first several times, but he couldn't do it. In his eyes, the old man was like the embodiment of the entire withered mountain, and he couldn't find any flaws. With every step, it was as if a towering mountain was pressing against him.

Whether it's attacking or turning and running away, the only end is to be crushed to pieces!

"Is this really something that can be done by manpower?"

Muttering in his mouth, Lucy's eyes were filled with mixed emotions full of shock and excitement.

The old man walked up, stopped, and grinned: "The old man just gave you enough time, but he didn't make a move, should you praise your eyesight?" ”

His mouth seemed to have been torn apart, and he almost pulled to the base of his ear under a smile, which looked particularly weird.

Lucy withdrew the hand that was pressed on the girl's shoulder and solemnly straightened the collar: "Why do you want to make a move?" It was just a visit between friends, and I was still wondering which of Miji's elders you were. ”

"Are you still bluffing me with such words," the old man said hesitantly, "Since you are a friend of Miji, why don't you stay for a few more days before leaving?" ”

"Because I'm afraid that if I don't leave, I won't be able to leave, and you were spying on me before, right?" Lucy took the badge off his shoulder, thought about it and put it back again, laughing at himself, "You showed up, it seems that this thing didn't deceive you." ”

It doesn't look like Maha, so who could it be?

"Rose bombs?" The old man smiled even more, "Do you know that I developed this bomb?" Whether it's true or not, I'll know at a glance - the reason why I haven't exposed you all this time is just to see what you're up to. ”

"What I didn't expect was that you actually knew about the thing I brought back from the Dark Continent, which made me curious...... Young man, let me ask you again," the old man asked with a smile on his face, still with a harmless expression.

"How the hell did you know about this?"
