The meeting room, which is entirely painted in silver-gray walls, has only a row of simple oval benches, and other than that, there seems to be only matching chairs, and there are no decorations.

Mu Chen sat on the main seat at the end, his brows slightly wrinkled and he looked at the materials in his hand, his expression had a sense of majesty, but also a trace of doubt.

Suddenly, the door of the conference room opened, and Chi Jiufeng walked in slowly, and when he sat beside Mu Chen, Mu Chen raised his eyes and looked at Chi Jiufeng, and said, "You should have read this information, right?" ”

Chi Jiufeng nodded slightly: "I don't understand the research thing, you just said what you want to do, right?" ”

"According to research, the words in Zhang He's body and even later engraved on the muscles of his right arm are indeed related to the ancient ancestor civilization, which has been confirmed by the information that has been collected in the database of the Tario Council!"

"But the strange place is also here, as the ancient ancestor civilization that is so noisy in the outside world, many cultural relics unearthed below 2w meters above the surface of the earth are traded as works of art, but there is almost no research on this within the Tario Council!"

Looking at Mu Chen slightly, Chi Jiufeng crossed his fingers with his hands and five fingers together, lowered his voice a few points and said, "There are only two cases, either you really haven't researched it, or your authority is not enough!" ”

Hearing Chi Jiufeng's words, Mu Chen shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "It was with this in mind at the beginning, so when the third district was established, it had to reach the eighth level in the tenth-level authority, but now it seems that it is still not enough!" ”

"So what do you want me to do?" Chi Jiufeng asked suspiciously.

"I once said that Professor Sima is the most proficient in the study of ancient ancestor civilization in the Azure Academy, and I originally wanted to go with questions, but now it seems that the runes on Zhang He's right arm can only be deciphered by him!"

"Zhang He's current situation should not be to the point where he can return to the ordinary living area, at least until he completes the candidate graduation ceremony and goes through the process, he can become an official devourer!" Chi Jiufeng said with a slight frown.

Seeming to agree with Chi Jiufeng's words very much, Mu Chen first nodded, then shook his head and said, "I don't want Zhang He to return to the ordinary area now, this is not in line with the original plan, and even if he goes back now, he won't be able to help for the time being!" ”

"What do you mean?"

Mu Chen sighed deeply, frowned slightly, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said, "According to the latest information from the Devourer's exclusive intelligence channel, Professor Sima has been missing for a week!" Although this seems normal for him, who is often caught up in research. ”

"But the strange thing this time is that at the annual academic exchange meeting of Azure College, he befriended a young man and visited him two days later, so he completely disappeared from the outside world's view."

"His family didn't call the police, apparently they got the news that he had come back from some source! Following this line of thought, I asked someone to investigate the young man, guess who? ”

Hearing Mu Chen's words, Chi Jiufeng shook his head suspiciously.

"The interesting thing is here, he has the same name as the enemy provided by Zhang He, both are called Lin Haotian, but the strange thing is that it seems to be the same only name, whether it is physical appearance or blood type fingerprints, etc., they are all different, and even the age of the entry is several years apart!"

"If I'm not forgetful, I remember that the third district has calendar immunity, can't I ask this Mr. Lin Haotian to come back and talk?" After hearing what Mu Chen said, Chi Jiufeng proposed.

Shaking his head slightly, Mu Chen explained softly: "The current calendar immunity of the third district can only be valid in the No. 6 Underworld Fort, but this Mr. Lin Haotian is a person from the No. 4 Underworld Fort!" ”

"What's more, the procedures for him to come here were personally signed by the Chief of the No. 4 Underworld Castle, it seems that they still have some blood relations, you may not know, behind the Chief of the No. 4 Underworld Castle, it happens to be Councilor Jeff, without his support, the Third District would not have passed the headquarters process so happily!"

Hearing what Mu Chen said, Chi Jiufeng rubbed his temples slightly with his hand, and then sighed helplessly: "Say so much, in a word, you just can't move him?" ”

Mu Chen nodded, and a look of helplessness rose on his face, whether it was authority or background, this young man with the same name as Zhang He's enemy was an existence that they couldn't afford to provoke for the time being.

"So don't tell Zhang He about this matter for the time being, since we can't move Lin Haotian at this stage, then we can only settle for the next best, you send a devourer to contact Professor Sima's daughter, no matter how Professor Sima disappears, he also has to communicate with his family, right?"

"At the same time, Professor Sima's daughter also happens to be studying in Azure Academy, and she also happens to be a student in the class in charge of Zhang Luoyi, Zhang He's sister!"

Snorted lightly with a slight snort, Chi Jiufeng chuckled helplessly: "Everything is still crowded together, I don't believe that there is such a coincidence in the world, this Lin Haotian seems to have a big problem!" ”

"That's it, I'm not at ease when others go, since it's to spy on Professor Sima's daughter, and there is Zhang Luoyi's reason, it seems more convenient to find a girl of their age, so let Cheng Xintong go!"

Immediately, Chi Jiufeng raised his wrist, and after a simple operation on the watch, he stood up, looked at Mu Chen and smiled slightly: "How do I feel that you tied me to the thief ship with a big set?" Now the situation of looking forward and looking forward is far from the excitement of going to the front line on a regular basis! ”

Shrugged his shoulders helplessly, Mu Chen smiled bitterly: "The thief ship can't be said, at most it's just a windsurfing board, after all, it is the beginning of the business, it is inevitable to be cautious, it will be fine after a while, then this matter will be left to you to follow up, and when Zhang He graduates successfully, he will be informed of the news that he can return to the ordinary area!" ”

Nodding silently, Chi Jiufeng walked out of the conference room, leaving Mu Chen alone and slowly leaning back on the chair, and after closing his eyes, he sighed deeply.

At this moment, Mu Chen found that it seemed that the things he wanted to track down had become more and more complicated unconsciously.

At first, it was just because abnormal parameters related to Scarlet Midnight were found in Zhang He, and it just so happened that Scarlet Midnight was inextricably linked to the disappearance of his fiancée back then.

As a last resort, in order to be able to further study Zhang He's autonomy, with the help of many parties, Mu Chen found his father, and with his help, the third district was established.

And attracted the new human beings to join, to a certain extent, while strengthening the autonomy of the foundation, it also officially became an organization wandering in the gray area, and began to purposefully investigate the Abyss Council related to Zhang He.

But he didn't expect to introduce the ancient ancestor civilization again, and this step by step, although Mu Chen, who was only in his thirties, felt a heavy feeling that made his heart extremely tired.

Thinking of these unsolved difficulties, Mu Chen also felt extremely sad for a while......

……

Meanwhile, in a bar in the Devourer base, two Devourers sat boredly in the booth, one drinking the other.

But it was the middle of the afternoon, and the atmosphere in the bar was a little cold, and the two would-be eaters who were looking for excitement collided with boredom.

Suddenly, there was a vibration on one of them's wrist, and then he raised his wrist to look at the information on it, and instantly a happy smile appeared on his originally boring face!

Suddenly pushed his companion next to him, and the devourer who received the news chuckled and said: "Something interesting, hurry up, you run a few more bars, call out to some colleagues you know, let's open a gambling game!" ”

Hearing what his friend said, another devourer sighed helplessly and said: "Don't make trouble, this round of boring days, what exciting handicap can you play?"

"Aren't the candidates for this session being compressed by the above? Today is the day of their comprehensive joint examination, and in less than an hour, their individual strength competition will begin! ”

"Cut, I thought it was a good thing to be excited, it turned out to be a group of reinforcements who didn't have any hair, so what could it mean?"

Slightly closer to his companion, the devourer who had initially received the news, lowered his voice and said, "Internal information, one of the targets of this handicap is the son of the staff officer of the Woz Regiment of the No. 6 Underworld Fort, as for the other?" It's just a white ding with no background! ”

Suddenly hearing this, a hint of interest instantly appeared in the eyes of the other devourer, and he whispered to himself: "Heaven and earth touch, suspension plate, isn't this kind of heartbeat to gamble?" I'm going to find someone to make a move! ”

After saying that, he ran out of the bar in a hurry, and the person who initially received the message simply replied to a message on his wrist and began to prepare directly in the bar.

At the same time, at the same time, we will collect the information of the two contestants as much as possible in many aspects, after all, a handicap is not a simple flag to collect money, the clearer the situation of the two participants, the more it can reflect the strength of the handicap owner, and the odds can be adjusted in real time according to the situation.

……

The hour-long break was over quickly, and when Zhang He and Mu Xiaoxiao returned to the examination room, many of the three teams of candidates even began to warm up and prepare.

After all, individual strength matches are not the same as team survival battles, if team survival battles are to test whether the candidates can work as a team after becoming devourers.

If you can get a good result, then you will get more attention from above after transforming into a devourer, so that you will be assigned to a more powerful team.

Moreover, the individual strength competition is to compete with three candidate teams, a total of 90 candidates, who are completely disrupted, and there is no time to prepare at all.

In other words, you have no idea who your next enemy will be, and once you have established a hostile relationship, a fast-paced battle awaits you!

As for this personal strength match, on the surface, it seems to be a test of strength, but in fact, for the Devourers who will enter the front line to fight the Abyssal Beast in the future, being in a powerful detachment and in an ordinary detachment will be two completely different fates.

From the simplest point of view, it is the difference in the probability of survival, this is a matter of life, how can you deal with the past at will? So, almost all the candidates in the room were grinding their fists and wanted to burst out of their strongest side in the match.

Silently skimming his side eyes in the direction of Zhang He, when he saw him re-enter the first team of candidates, Wei Li threw an eyebrow questioning expression at his men.

Then the subordinate who had been ordered by him at first smiled and nodded, and made an OK gesture!

Seeing that everything was advancing according to his preparation, Wei Li showed a satisfied smile, and then looked at Zhang He again.

It's just that at this time, a satisfied smile rose on his face, if you look at it purely from the outside, you would never guess that the gambling handicap outside was actually from his handiwork.

"Since I can't go head-to-head with you, it's okay to be careful, right? Who made me really not a big-hearted person? You Zhang He robbed me of my position in the first team of candidates, and lost my face in the bar like this, how can we easily resolve the conflict? Wei Li thought viciously.

However, just as Wei Li was once again playing with the insidious methods he was good at, Geng Shuang also returned to the examination room from outside, but at this time his face didn't seem to look good.

Then he strode in the direction of Zhang He again......

It's a pity that this time, Zheng Zhong and Ma Jie had already discovered him in advance, and Kan Kan blocked the aisle in front of him approaching Zhang He.

For a while, Geng Shuang's behavior once again aroused the curious eyes of the team of candidates, I don't know what he wanted to do when he rushed over again this time?

Slightly skimming Zheng Zhong who was blocking in front of him, Geng Shuang nodded fiercely, stared at Xiang Zhang He, and said fiercely: "I really can't see it?" You actually played yin, and in an hour, you announced my challenge and yours to the public, and even found someone outside to set up a gambling handicap! And hang out my father's name, and also call it the gap between heaven and earth? ”

"Okay, good, it's always just me Geng Shuang stepping on others and calculating others, I didn't expect to play eagle all year round, but now I was pecked by the eagle and injured my hand, I can be regarded as understanding the benefits of a sanctimonious villain like you Zhang He, let me tell you Zhang He, you are not even as direct as me as Geng Shuang! I look down on you! ”
