Chapter 32: The Investigation Begins
Sure enough, before dawn the next day, the three of Li Jiaojiao's team received instructions to go to the Hunters' Association to be investigated, but fortunately, they had already discussed countermeasures yesterday, and the investigator was Coller, so they would not be too embarrassed.
Yi Ming was the first to end the investigation, he only needed to insist that there would be no big problem if he hadn't been to Zhaoyao Mountain, and he was studying at that time, and there were teachers and classmates who could testify that he had not been out of school during his studies, so he just routinely asked a few questions and let him out.
But Li Jiaojiao and they were not so lucky, they were tired and interrogated for a day before they were released, if it weren't for Li Shanhai's face, they might have been locked up for two days to investigate.
However, the Hunters' Association didn't get much information from them, after all, there are a lot of strange ruins on this continent, and there are always people who will be pulled into it inexplicably. This is how Lei Lao entered the ruins of Fu Yu Mountain at the beginning, but Fu Yu Mountain was not born, so he would naturally not be investigated, otherwise the ghost fire would not appear in Yi Ming's hands now.
Even so, Li Jiaojiao was told that the team members were not allowed to leave the city for three days, waiting for the summons at any time.
Yi Ming, who was investigated early, was a little bored at this time, he didn't know the results of other people's investigations at this time, so he thought about going to take an investigation task and go out of the city to go shopping, but he was afraid that going out of the city without permission would cause trouble to Li Jiaojiao, so he had to go home and practice all day.
Early the next morning, he received a message from Li Jiaojiao, knowing that they had come out safely, but they still needed to stay in the city for three days before they could go out again to do the task.
Yi Ming was not surprised by this result at all, he comforted the other party and let Li Jiaojiao relax.
Li Jiaojiao just smiled, and went back to rest after saying goodbye.
In the video, Yi Ming could see that Li Jiaojiao was obviously very tired, and it seemed that this day's investigation had also made her suffer a lot, and at the same time, Yi Ming secretly thought that this hunter association looked very good, but he didn't expect it to be an unscrupulous organization to achieve its goals.
Not long after ending the call with Li Jiaojiao, he received a notice from Lei Lao, asking him to rush to the Hunter Association and assign him a task.
Yi Ming quickly rushed to Lei Lao's office, and when he saw Lei Lao, he also asked him about his investigation yesterday, and he was relieved when he heard that Yi Ming was fine, thinking that his old face still had some face in this Letong City Association.
"It's fine that you're okay, but since the association has issued a three-day lockdown order, then you can stay in the city and rest in peace for these three days. Even I can't go against the will of the association directly, but then your mission will be postponed. Lei Lao said.
"Anyway, we haven't done a task for almost a week, so it doesn't matter if it's three more days. Teacher, tell me what I need to do first, I can prepare in these three days. ”
Lei Lao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll pick something that I can say to tell you, but you must keep it secret from the outside world, you know?" ”
Yi Ming hurriedly nodded yes.
"This time, Coller and I came from the Jinguo headquarters to investigate the mining area, and Mark and they also came with us to take care of some peripheral work. I wanted you to follow them to the outskirts of the mine today, because you're familiar with the terrain. But now you're forbidden to go out of town, so I need you to draw me a map, can you do it? ”
Hearing Lei Lao's words, Yi Ming didn't know what to say for a while, investigating the mining area, this was a headache for him, but he didn't expect Lei Lao's task on their trip to investigate the mining area, then they would definitely have a conflict with Sima Xin, and they would have the opportunity to contact their companions in the mining area to get into trouble together, which was a very rare opportunity.
Seeing that Yi Ming didn't speak for a long time, Lei Lao thought that Yi Ming was unwilling, so he said, "What? Unhappy if you can't go on a mission? But if you want to participate, you can only wait for your squad's ban to be lifted.
In fact, drawing a map is not a simple task, but we have limited time to investigate, so we can't wait for you that long, and you don't have any psychological burden. ”
Yi Ming shook his head and said: "Teacher, this matter is very easy, I can give you the map now, but I still hope to go back, after all, I have lived in the mining area for more than ten years, and I know a lot of people, but I can only contact them when I go back, I believe they will be happy to help." ”
Yi Ming originally thought that Lei Lao would readily agree, but he refused: "No!" The purpose of our trip is not to tell anyone that if you were not my disciple, I would have already arrested you and forced you to lead the way.
I can only tell you that this matter involves the struggle of the Jin royal family, and you had better not use any crooked brains, otherwise I won't be able to save you. ”
Yi Ming didn't expect that the teacher, who was originally very kind to him, would say this to himself, although he could also hear that he was thinking about himself, but from the words, Yi Ming felt that he was being used, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Yes, teacher, I'll pass you the map now." Yi Ming lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Well, don't mention this to anyone, not even Li Jiaojiao. The next time I come back, I will ask you to temporarily join Mark's team and carry out peripheral missions with them, and if nothing else, our mission will be completed in half a month.
When the time comes, you will go to Longyang City, the capital of the country, the resources there are much richer than here, and they are more suitable for your growth, so you should prepare in advance. ”
Yi Ming nodded lightly and passed the map of the mining area that he had prepared a long time ago to Lei Lao.
After receiving the map, Lei Lao asked Yi Ming to leave on his own, during this time he was busy with tasks and didn't have much leisure time, so after getting the map, he immediately had to arrange the next action plan.
Yi Ming, who returned home, looked a little melancholy, this was originally an excellent opportunity to liberate the mining area, but it was postponed because of the birth of Zhaoyao Mountain, and it was unlikely that Lei Lao's attitude would contact his companions in the mining area during the mission.
Even in these few minutes of conversation, Yi Ming's heart had a hint of mustard, and he began to doubt Lei Lao's purpose of taking him as an apprentice.
It is impossible not to be grateful to Lei Lao, Lei Lao was the leader who took him into the hunter world, not only let him go to the Hunting Blade to learn the basics for a month, but also gave him the inheritance of the Heavenly Shadow Fire Dance directly after he learned it, and he didn't ask him for the Heavenly Shadow Fire Dance.
However, Yi Ming, as a traverser, thinks in his heart that it is very lucky and normal to meet such a strong teacher who is good to him, after all, which traverser does not have a little protagonist halo.
Originally, he thought that even if there were powerful monsters around this world, there would be constant friction between various countries, but in essence, it was similar to his original world, although it was not peaceful, but there was a good order.
But what happened in the past two days made him begin to realize the cruelty of this world. Originally, he thought that what happened in the mining area was just an extreme exception, just like his own world also had some black mines hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, no matter where it was, the dark side would always be missing.
Just like Li Jiaojiao once told him, the world is not as peaceful as he imagined. Indeed, thinking about Li Jiaojiao, as the daughter of a dignified grandmaster, the Hunters Association dared to interrogate her so shamelessly, what does this mean?
And Lei Lao said bluntly, if he was not his disciple, then he had been forced to carry out a dangerous investigation mission, where could he study for a month with peace of mind?
Yi Ming's thoughts are very chaotic now, he doesn't know what he is thinking, but no matter what he thinks, he has begun to truly realize that this is a new world, a more cruel world.
In such a cruel world, there is undoubtedly only one way to protect yourself, and that is to find ways to become stronger and improve your status by all means, so that you will not be controlled by others everywhere.
After opening Hongmeng and glancing at his personal homepage, Yi Ming now felt that the two big civilians behind his name were so dazzling, perhaps this clear class division was the real culprit.
Yi Ming began to think about the ideals of the former Yi Ming and liberate all the poor!
