Chu Ming was a little surprised, he looked at Mr. McAvoy, who smiled and said, "Actually, I prefer the profession of bartender, I can meet a lot of people, and there are monsters like you in the middle." In this way, life underground will not be boring. ”

"Oh, hello, Mr. McAvoy. My name is Chu Ming. Chu Ming stretched out his hand

Mr. McAvoy shook hands with Chu Ming, then raised his voice and said happily: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have new friends today, so I released the 'button' in advance." ”

After McAvoy's voice, the bar erupted as the drunks tried to sober themselves up, but the "buttons" were their way to survive, and they needed more to survive as a group of people on the fringes of society.

"Rescue a family of three trapped by the insect tide, and the location is Sailanxing."

"Rescue a woman trapped by the insect tide on the planet Ardarant."

"Rescue a child trapped by the insect infestation, located in Anjotes."

"Rescue a woman trapped by the insect tide, location Vorgor."

“……”

Most of the missions are to rescue people who have been besieged by the insect tide, and the invasion of the Rich Butterfly Worm is actually a good thing for the mercenaries, and there are a large number of missions for them to do. People who can't afford to hire a high-priced substitute will ask them for help, and besides, the mercenaries have their own methods, and their mission completion rate is not bad.

Many people have received "buttons", and for these people, each task is to gamble with their lives, so the tequila bar is lively again, and alcohol and music are once again the themes of the space.

"None you're interested in?" Mr. McAvoy looked at the "button" that was gradually disappearing, and asked Chu Ming.

Chu Ming shook his head and did not speak. He came here just to be curious, and didn't want to do any mission.

"Isn't there really anything you're interested in here?" McAvoy was very interested in Chu Ming, and he flipped through the task slips one by one, while looking into Chu Ming's eyes.

The task slip turned to the last page, and Mr. McAvoy looked at the indifferent Chu Ming and began to flip through it again. The optical screen flickered and Mr. McAvoy looked back: "Oh. This is not today, now you look again. ”

"Wait." The nonchalant Chu Ming suddenly interrupted Mr. McAvoy's movements, he pointed to the screen and asked, "What was it just now?" ”

"'Deadlock'."

"'Dead buckle'? Can I take a look? ”

"Of course you can, everyone here can watch it, but this is a 'dead buckle' from a long time ago, and if it weren't for the employer still paying, it would have been deleted a long time ago."

Mr. McAvoy said. An entry is opened, and there is a taskbar marked in red that reads - Missing Quest: Name: Anka, Location: Kilmer Star Blue Cult. There is no time limit. Task reward: Discussed after the task is completed.

"This is also a mission?" After reading the task, Chu Ming asked in surprise.

Mr. McAvoy nodded, "Yes." This is a question for anyone who sees this quest for the first time. Not to mention how difficult it is to get into the church of the Shen Lan God Cult, even this 'reward interview' is prohibitive. ”

"Then why do you want to keep it?"

"Quite simply, the employer pays." Mr. McAvoy said dryly, "I'm also curious, you know, this mission is my cash cow, and I've made a lot of money keeping it." This strange employer is reluctant to indicate compensation. But they are willing to pay a large sum of money for retention tasks. So, I don't think it's a false 'button'. Are you interested? It is almost impossible to blend into the Dark Blue Cult of Kilmer, which is a very large church, so there are 'Cultists', those people can read minds, and they can distinguish every spy. ”

"'The Sealer'." Chu Ming remembered his other identity, the people of the Deep Blue God Sect had tried to contact him, but Chu Ming did not accept the invitation. He was hostile to this type of religion in his heart.

"Do you really want to take it? Want to cut down my cash cow? Mr. McAvoy said that, but he didn't really care about the money. A "dead button" that can never be untied is also a shame. is a mockery of all mercenaries.

"If I accept a task and I don't complete it, will I have anything to lose?" Chu Mingyi moved.

"No, there will be no 'dead buttons'. In addition, I can also provide a rough diagram of the structure of the church, which was left by the previous mercenary. ”

"What about him?"

"I don't know what to do, maybe I fled, maybe I died. Anyway, after accepting the mission, he never showed up again. This kind of thing is a common thing for mercenaries, you look at these people today, remember these faces, next time some of them will be gone. Therefore, I tried my best to earn their money, and I didn't give them a good look, so as not to be sad. Mr. McAvoy said this, but his expression remained sentimental. The position of a businessman does not make him feel good.

"Okay, I accept." Chu Ming sighed softly, he himself was hovering on the verge of death like this, and for this he didn't even dare to accept too many feelings.

"Thank you." Mr. McAvoy said sincerely: "You are very special, maybe you are the only person who can untie this 'dead button'." One more reminder later, there may not only be a 'Seal Cultist' in that place, but also a 'Blue Robe'. This news may not be reliable, but if you find a 'blue robe' there, be sure to run quickly. Hopefully—hopefully, you'll get away. ”

Mr. McAvoy was inexplicably sad when he finished speaking, he was not like a businessman, he was just a sentimental bartender who sold poison.

"Okay, it's not too early, I'm leaving."

Without saying anything more, Chu Ming stood up. Miss Chu Chu was drowsy next to him, and the corners of her mouth were covered with white sugar. Picking up Miss Chu Chu, the little girl skillfully rested her head on Chu Ming's shoulder, and fell asleep in an instant.

"I'll give you a blanket, it's cold underground."

Mr. McAvoy said no more, he handed over a thin blanket and turned back to beckon the other guests. Chu Ming was just a strange mercenary like no other for him, he wouldn't be interested for too long, and he didn't want to have too deep a relationship with these precarious mercenaries, it was a cruel torture.

When I returned to the apartment, it was already late, only Draenor was waiting for Chu Ming at the door, and everyone else was already asleep. After a brief exchange with Draenor, Chu Ming also took Miss Chu Chu to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Chu Ming woke up, although his body was weak and old. But sleep is still scarce. Tucked the quilt for Miss Chu Chu, Chu Ming poured himself a cup of tea, he took a sip, and the slightly bitter tea gave him a warm feeling. Chu Ming didn't turn on the light, in the dark, he pondered silently, carefully figuring out the meaning of life.

From the war-torn outer edge galaxies to the tranquil inner edge galaxies. The once peaceful heavens have also been involved in the flames of war, and there seems to be a force in the darkness that affects the fate of humanity in this galaxy. As a person next to him, Chu Ming saw it more clearly.

Chu Ming once wanted to completely integrate into this galaxy, and for this he experienced grief and despair. I also got warmth and friendship. He has tasted almost all the emotions in the world, and he feels that this is life. But. Seeing those mercenaries struggling to survive in the bar, Chu Ming felt that this was not the case. He felt that he was no different from those people, that he had gained as much as he had lost, and that in the end, it was as if he had achieved nothing. This feeling made Chu Ming feel a sense of loneliness and nothingness, and he felt as if he was unreal.

"Seems to be on the wrong track?" Chu Ming muttered to himself in a low voice. For the first time, he, a wild traveler, was lost because he had lost his bearings.

"What should I do? What to pursue? Chu Ming asked a question. This is a question that he needs to answer himself. The foggy and dark road ahead frightened him. Just right. Chu Ming, who was afraid of this emotion, had a rare emotion, and this emotion made him weak.

"I don't know the road, I don't know how to go down."

Chu Ming shook his head and gave up. He pushed the door open and walked out of the chamber, and there was moonlight outside that no one had cleaned. Kilmer's companion star is very large, like a pale skull in the dark sky.

Outside the apartment, there is a secluded boardwalk, with soft lighting from the street lamps. The huge canopy of several trees swayed in light and shadow. There is a fresh smell of plants in the air.

"Sir, do you need a ride?"

A taxi stopped in front of Chu Ming. Although it is unmanned, the facial expressions of the robot drivers are realistic.

"Okay."

Chu Ming got in the car, this kind of free transportation is a favorite of tourists, and the night tour of Kilmer Star is very interesting.

"Sir, where are you going?"

"Whatever, go to those famous places." Chu Ming thought that he would take Miss Chu Chu out to play tomorrow, and it was also a preparation to see where it was fun first. He didn't spend much time with the little girl, and Chu Ming always felt quite indebted.

"Very good, sir."

The taxi started, fast but smooth. The lights squeezed through the darkness of the night and headed ahead.

The robot driver didn't speak again, the program was set up like this, don't disturb the customer's thinking. So, Chu Ming walked all the way from this scenic spot to that scenic spot, and he didn't know how far he had walked.

"Sir, there's traffic control here, so we're going to come down."

The robot driver reminded that taxis often fly in the sky, and the speed is very fast.

"For what? What is this place? Chu Ming asked lazily, but in fact, he didn't have any traffic control in mind.

"Sir, this is the Square of Faith, thousands of years old, and there is the oldest church of faith in Kilmer Star in the square, so it can't fly here. If you believe in the Cult of the Blue God, then you can also check it out, which is open to believers all day. "The robot driver is also a good tour guide, and it has all the scenic commentaries in its memory.

"Shen Lan Divine Sect-" Chu Ming hesitated for a moment, but still pointed to the front and said, "Okay, I'll go down here." ”

"Well, sir, do you need to wait for you?"

"No need."

"See you again, sir."

The taxi left, and Chu Ming stood on the cold stone floor of the square. He looked up, and in the distance there was a towering spire, huge and majestic. There seemed to be some people there, the lights in the window holes were sporadic and a faint burst of chants could be heard, revealing a pure sense of sacredness in the quiet night.

Chu Ming looked at the time and recalled the map that Mr. McAvoy gave him, and he didn't care about the "dead button" or give up. He can go and see it, or he can't go. But now there seemed to be nothing to do, so he chose to go and see, so Chu Ming walked towards the church.
