With the sound of the night wind and the "rustling" of leaves, as well as the footsteps of the two of them in different rhythms, Cui Jinlong secretly looked at Liu Xinyu for the third time, and was thinking about what words to use to break the silence.

However, after struggling for a long time, I still couldn't think of any topic, and in the end, Liu Xinyu was the first to break the silence.

"Xiaolong, today you asked me what I want to do after graduation? I haven't asked you yet: do you have any plans?"

On the way, Liu Xinyu suddenly threw out this question, and Liu Xinyu turned around to look at him, waiting for Cui Jinlong's reply.

Cui Jinlong thought for a while, scratched his cheek and replied: "It's the same as you said before, these things are still far away, and I don't have any ideas for the time being." Let's aim to pass the annual assessment and work hard to cultivate. ”

"Aren't you going to find a girlfriend? I saw a lot of couples at the venue today, and now I think back that the college didn't prohibit students from dating. Liu Xinyu looked at him with a mischievous smile on his face.

Cui Jinlong choked on this sudden remark and coughed twice, "For the time being...... There are no plans for this at the moment. He was very weak when he said this, especially in front of Liu Xinyu.

Liu Xinyu showed a tricky smile, turned around and continued to walk forward: "It's just a little joke, don't care." But if you really have a goal, I don't mind doing you a little favor. ”

Looking at Liu Xinyu's back, Cui Jinlong muttered quietly: "What if my target is you......"

Liu Xinyu, who had already walked away, did not hear this sentence.

In the end, Cui Jinlong still didn't follow the idea given by Luo Miao to talk to Liu Xinyu about some childhood topics. However, today's concert has brought him enough.

......

1015, it's past midnight, strictly speaking, it's already the 16th, however, most people's date calculation method is still based on dawn as the dividing line, not why, pure habit.

Gyeongju City, under the ground......

Every city has its own digestive system that digests the household waste generated by its residents. Sewers are also one of the components of this digestive system, and play a very important role in it.

It is used to discharge the wastewater generated by residents on a daily basis, some small garbage, and even industrial exhaust gases.

With the continuous progress of the times, the scientific and technological level of human beings is constantly improving, and the corresponding people's abilities in all aspects are being strengthened. Hidden beneath the city, the sewers that make up the city's digestive system are constantly being reconstructed with the times, enhancing the city's processing capacity.

Today, the digestive system hidden beneath the ground has become unimaginable, and it is for this reason that dark, sunless sewers are the most prone to breeding risk factors.

Despite the advanced technology, people in this era are not yet able to fully predict and control all the emergencies in a city, and the extremely complex sewer system under the ground is the place where people have the least jurisdiction.

The probability of a problem is indeed declining, but it is far from zero.

For example, last month, I received an alert that the scales of what appeared to be a desolate creature were found near the entrance to a sewer hole.

After a small team of personnel verified the information, this "suspicion" can be removed.

When the information about the infestation of the desolate demon was fed back to the upper level, the city guard team mobilized a large number of personnel to investigate the sewers in this area, and this investigation area continued to expand over time, because the hidden desolate demon has not appeared, the city guard team once again increased the number of investigators, sharing the pressure of the first batch of personnel who continued to expand with the area of the investigation.

If this potential danger doesn't show up, they have a lot of momentum to sweep the city's sewers over!

It is their job to eliminate potential hazards within the city.

Lin Be, he belongs to a member of the city guard, one of the investigators of this incident, and is also the first batch of investigators.

It was already halfway through the night, and at this time, he was checking a section of sewers with another senior in his workplace and the leader of his team, Cao Liren.

This is the work they have been repeating for more than a month, monotonous and long, at first he can maintain the enthusiasm of a job and actively participate, but now his enthusiasm has almost extinguished.

After more than a month of boring investigations, it was really difficult for him to maintain a highly positive state without even seeing the hair of the desolate demon. And today's is still 1015, and the depression on his face increased when he thought that the people on the ground were busy celebrating the festival, and he himself was struggling to continue to investigate in the sewers.

Originally, his original intention of entering the City Guard was to relax, and the duty of the City Guard was to eliminate potential danger factors in the city, most of which referred to the desolate demons, and in addition to that, their usual workload was not much, and it was quite easy, and most of them were just some trivial things.

Compared to other peers who had to deal with the desolate demons from time to time, the work of the people in the City Guardians was really easy.

However, this is second only to the fact that when there is no problem, once the situation occurs, the leisurely work will immediately change, and it will enter a state of high-intensity work day and night, until the situation is completely resolved.

Lin Bei has now experienced this drawback, and most of the images in his eyes for the past month have been dark and damp sewers, and except for basic rest time, the rest of the time must be devoted to this investigation.

In order to support the discharge of municipal wastewater, the sewers are built in large quantities to ensure that they can continue to operate normally in extreme weather conditions. However, this does not mean that every section of sewer is this kind of giant, but more of a few outlets connected to the main outlet.

Lin Bei and Cao Liren, who led the way, walked on the platforms on both sides of the sewer, and the lamps specially designed for lighting on the top made the sewer not a completely dark environment, although the lights were a little dim, but it did not affect their vision.

Even if the wiring of these lights fails, they are prepared, and high-powered lighting flashlights are available in their carry-on gear.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa......" The two of them walked in the sewer, which was extremely easy to echo, did not make the slightest footsteps, and some only made the sound of sewage flowing underneath.

This is thanks to their working equipment, since they have to carry out the investigation task, it is undoubtedly the best situation to be able to find it without disturbing the target, otherwise the movement of footsteps is extremely easy to disturb their target, and the investigators in charge of the investigation are equipped with this "silence" equipment.

The dark and foul-smelling wastewater carried some unknown small garbage through this sewer, and Lin Bei, who was on a task of investigation, took a look away from it, this kind of picture that affects appetite should not be seen more.

The environment of the sewer is as bad as its name, it is simply stinking, and although he wears a mask that can be filtered, Lin Bei still feels uncomfortable with this environment.

"Boss, do you say this news is true? We've been investigating for more than a month, and we haven't even seen a sign of the desolate demon, where can it hide?" Lin Bei suddenly asked.

Lin Be's voice came to Cao Liren's ears through the headset, and he glanced in the direction of Lin Be: "Don't talk when you are on a mission, the movement is likely to disturb the target." This information has been verified by us and cannot be error-free. ”

After speaking, Cao Liren continued to walk forward with his head down, and shook his head at the same time: It seems that the lack of circumstances in this month has made this newcomer who has just known him for a long time relaxed, and he should not have spoken out when he was carrying out the investigation task.

"But, can this desolate demon really hide from us for so long?" Lin Bei, who was in the City Guard, shouldn't have doubted the authenticity of this news, but this did not prevent him from complaining in a few words.

Cao Liren was silent for a long time this time before replying: "This desolate demon may not be in the sewer, we are investigators under the ground, and there are our colleagues on the ground to carry out the task together. As long as the target does not appear, the search will continue until the entire city is searched inside and out. Our sewer investigation will continue until the entire sewer system is completely investigated, and the information that there is a desolate demon infestation is just an early warning, which indicates that there is a situation in the sewer system under the city, and we must thoroughly eliminate these risk factors. Even if there is no early warning, we will organize personnel to check the sewer system on a regular basis, and you have not been in the company for a long time, and it is not yet time for the regular inspection. ”

After listening to Cao Liren's reply, Lin Bei's face under the mask was a little bitter, which means that no matter whether the expected target appears or not, the tasks of their investigators under the ground will be carried out until they are completed, and it seems that he will not be able to be idle for a period of time in the future.

"Boss, is it that every time you check the desolate demons, there is no sign for so long?"

Cao Liren stopped and looked at Lin Be's position again: "Lin Be, let me remind you once again, don't speak loudly when we are carrying out the sewer investigation task, these small sounds are extremely easy to disturb those desolate demons with extremely sensitive senses, has the situation that nothing happened in this month made you relax?" If the sound disturbs or attracts the target, it will affect and threaten our investigation work and personal safety, and although the probability and mortality rate of our City Guardians are much lower than those of other mages, they are not completely without danger, and the desolate demon is a dangerous creature that takes advantage of the opportunity to enter when you are slack. ”
