Chapter 202: Infiltrate the Investigation
"You're not going to kill us, are you?"
The three adventurers wandered back and forth between Lin Qiu and the others with pleading gazes. In their cognition, the researchers here should not have a pleasant conversation with them, let alone help them open the shackles on their hands.
"We're just ordinary adventurers, we don't know anything. The male adventurer said cautiously.
In addition, they truthfully explained what they had done before.
A total of four people were held here by the knights of the Musa Consortium, who had attacked a researcher halfway through the attack under the pretense of urgency, and had been hiding in the passage across the door ever since. They didn't dare to go out rashly, there were high-ranking knights all over the outside, and once they were discovered, they had only one way out.
Even among the adventurers, they belong to the lowest class, they are all just beginners who have learned some half-baked swordsmanship, and in order to make a living, they often accept some D-level or so gathering tasks, and their range of activities does not exceed the first station. However, due to the frequent changes recently, some restaurants and wineries that need D-class materials have closed down, and the adventurers at the bottom are unemployed, and the four of them can only stay in the adventurer's guild every day to look for opportunities to make money.
Until one day, they met a teenager who was going to the second and third post stations.
"Julius, that's his name. The female adventurer added.
Julius claimed to be heading to the Third Outpost to hunt monsters, and they approached him in the hope of accompanying him.
"We don't mean anything wrong, we just want to pick some Mu Xuecao or Ice Brewed Flowers to exchange for some gold coins. β
As medium-grade medicinal herbs, Mu Xuecao and Ice Brewed Flower are the raw materials of most medicines and dishes, especially among the royal family and nobles. They are classified as C-level quests, and most of the tasks of this difficulty are related to hunting monsters, which they intended to complete along the way with Julius on the way to hunt monsters.
Halfway through, they then encountered a team of researchers from the Musa Consortium.
The High Knights attacked them, and Julius fled wounded under their cover, promising to go to the Imperial Capital to seek help, but they had been locked up here for a whole day and a night, and the rescue they had hoped for had not yet appeared.
"What should I do?" Ella felt her head grow as she listened to the general situation.
These three poor adventurers are a big trouble, Dr. Tao's original order was to dispose of these adventurers, if other researchers find out that they are still alive in a while, they will be exposed together. So everyone's eyes naturally converged on Lin Qiu.
"Sounds like the three of you are very good at exploring?" Lin Qiu noticed something else entirely.
The three of them nodded inexplicably.
"Then you should be able to help. β
"You want to take the three of them with you?" Phoenix asked, surprised.
"Of course, I can not only take them with me, but I can also swagger around with them on this ship...... In a moment, the three of you will figure out what the Musa consortium is doing under this according to 'Dr. Tao'. β
"What about you?"
"I've tried to get everyone to come and cooperate with you, and if you find anything that you are planning to evacuate, take the opportunity to let me know. β
Lin Qiu had made a detailed plan in a short period of time, including the way to attract researchers to come over, and he had already thought about it. He was now at least sure that these researchers were hiding underground to study monsters, and when it came to monsters, he already had one of the most worthy of study by his side.
"What are you watching me do?" Phoenix was a little uncomfortable stared at by Lin Qiu.
"But this plan needs your cooperation. β
"Knock knockβ"
There was a knock on the door, and the three adventurers were so frightened that they immediately hid behind Lin Qiu. The patrolling high-ranking knight looked at them through the window of the door, "Dr. Tao, do you need help?" his tone was wary, and he heard the other guards mention that Dr. Asa had brought the two previously missing adventurers into the house not long ago, and they also mentioned that there was something wrong with Dr. Tao's voice today.
As a patrol leader, he had to make sure everything was in order.
"You've just arrived, Dr. Tao and I have just changed our minds. β
Lin Qiu's words suddenly made the patrol leader frown, he glanced at the timid three, and said, "Miss Sindora means ......"
"Of course I know what Miss Sindora means. β
Lin Qiu stepped forward, deliberately pretending to be distressed and lowered his voice: "However, you should understand that our recent research has not gone well, and we think that too much attention to monsters has led us to a dead end, so a new idea has flashed in the past few days-why can't we start with the human body? Dr. Tao and I finally persuaded the three adventurers to cooperate with our experiment, and promised that if they could survive the experiment, we would let them go back." β
"No, it's my job to make sure that no one can divulge what's going on here, and I don't allow any surprises to happen. β
"So that's why I'm a PhD here, and you're just a thug. Lin Qiu sneered: "Look at these people, do they look like people who know about experiments? My promise is 'if I can survive the experiment, I will let them go back', but as a scientific researcher, I can also make sure that they will not survive the experiment due to some irresistible factors." β
After that, Lin Qiu made a silent gesture and patted the shoulder of the patrol leader who was full of astonishment: "Then, I'll take these mice and go first." β
......
"Human experiments? β
Lin Qiu did fulfill his promise, but Ella became more and more shocked. She felt that if her imagination was one-tenth of Lin Qiu's, I was afraid that the sales of "Imperial Capital Incredible Daily" would have already broken through the skyβit was a pity that Lin Qiu didn't come to work at their newspaper, and for a moment, she almost believed Lin Qiu's evil.
But the patrol leader's thoughtful expression when she left, almost made her laugh out loud.
"Believe me, if you're a villain, you're at least the one behind the scenes...... But I'd like to see how you can get all the other researchers here. β
Ella and Phoenix stood to the side, looking playful.
According to conservative estimates, the Musa Consortium's underground research institute has hundreds of researchers, who capture monsters from the north and study them from various aspects, different departments give different data, and the higher-ups integrate all these data to compile a new language - the language of monsters.
And if you want to gather these people, you have to at least go to the level of Deputy Eric.
"Hey, come over here. β
Lin Qiu beckoned to a young researcher who was running errands.
- "Gather everyone for me, and say I've caught a dragon in the north." β
