Chapter XIX
It's an unnamed space, where dark limestone and metallic wall panels are mixed together, and overhead, countless transistors intertwine and extend from the walls, and dark red energy flashes in them, giving an eerie atmosphere.
On one of the walls, several large crystal screens are covered, glowing brightly, and many names can be seen, and dense numerical bars appear next to them, changing in real time.
In front of the screen, a thin, cold-faced man is silently holding a pen and recording something in a notebook.
These bars are red, green, blue, and varied. But one of them, her data bars have all been zeroed, "Lanta", the name is completely gray.
Feeling the loud vibration not long ago, the man sighed, put down the paper and pen in his hand, picked up a scimitar next to him, swung it in his hand, and played.
At this moment, the metal door in the corner of the room was suddenly opened, and a strong man walked in, looking hurried, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and the conspicuous official seal of Biyan City was imprinted in it.
"Fang Yun, my lord has sent a letter, that Mo from Biyan City has come to us with a group of high-ranking magistrates. The strong man slapped his son directly on the table, his face solemn, "The lord instructed us to hide ourselves in the past few days, pack up our equipment and materials, and be ready to evacuate at any time." ”
The strong man was very nervous, but Fang Yun opposite him had a breezy expression, "The news of the adults is late, they have already arrived." ”
"Well, what?" the strong man suspected that he had misheard.
"You look at the screen. Fang Yun said coldly.
The strong man observed the screen as he said, "Lanta! Lanta, who is guarding the door, is dead!"
"Do you know what this means?" Fang Yun's face slowly turned heavy, "Someone has broken in, and they have the strength to defeat Lanta. ”
He stood up and walked over to a patch of red-glowing buttons, one of which had been dimmed, "The vital signs I observed just now are far below normal, and it is estimated that someone defeated her, but did not kill her, and tried to capture her." ”
"There are only people from Biyan City around here who have this ability, so I guess it's someone from Biyan City, so I activated the detonating device that the adults installed in their bodies. Even if you can't destroy them, you can at least stop them. ”
Hearing Fang Yun say this expression with an expressionless face, the strong man couldn't help but shrink his neck, they saved this group of death row prisoners, in order to control them, the adult used his means to install a detonation device behind everyone's back, just like a needle, directly inserted into the body, connected with the demon source circulation system in the body, when necessary, the device can be remotely controlled to release a trace amount of alien attribute demon source, so that the person who is installed with the device will be blocked and accumulated due to the poor turnover of the demon source in the body, which will eventually lead to an explosion.
"I hope that this sacrificial green feather can play a little value for us. The strong man shook his head and looked at the piece of paper on the table, "I didn't expect it to be so bad, I originally thought that they would arrive tomorrow at the earliest, and it is estimated that it will take two or three days to investigate our hiding place again, how can it be so fast?"
"It should be that city lord who has found out, he should have realized that there are people around him, so he wants to take this opportunity to investigate. Inevitably, the whole city will be under martial law, and misleading information will be released to the people around them, resulting in the news being a little late. Fang Yun analyzed, and showed an inscrutable smile again, "He should also want to take this opportunity to directly clear his surroundings, but that city lord should never have thought of it, that person is something he can't think of." ”
"But you say our boss won't be in danger?" the strong man asked, slightly worried.
"Probably not. At the mention of this, Fang Yun was also a little worried, "After all, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary......
But in a blink of an eye, "Forget it, it's useless to think about it now." Fang Yun turned to face the strong man, "Fang Yan, you quickly organize people to stop them, and I'll arrange for people to clean up and prepare to transfer." ”
After hearing this, the strong man known as Fang Yan nodded, "Now it can only be like this, and the loss must be minimized." ”
Fang Yun also nodded, "Yes, for the sake of the boss, we are the only ones under him who have no criminal record......
Looking at the gorge that connected the mountains on both sides, and at the towering pile of rubble in front of him. The clouds in the sky floated leisurely, but he couldn't see the sun, Jiang Heng sighed helplessly, "It looks like I'm trapped in here." ”
Fly, he still can't climb, the gravel in front of him will be pulled as soon as he picks up, and the teeth on both sides are bent, and he is afraid that he will not be able to climb. If he digs, he could, but he didn't want to.
"Hehe, I don't know if those people were also stopped outside. Jiang Heng thought about it, smiled, and then looked behind him, "I still want to experience what it's like to be a sheriff, but I can't be disturbed by them." ”
I looked at myself, the rune gun, uh, I don't know where it fell, the long sword, it was a little badly worn, but it was barely usable. As for the suit on his body, "The quality is really poor, so it won't be someone who deducts the appropriation for the security uniform, right?"
Ignoring the scarred security uniform on his body, Jiang Heng began to worry again, "Anyway, the Patriarch of Pubulin should be fine, if those guys are here, they should be fine, right? But will they make a move?" After thinking for a while, "Forget it, don't think about it, the explosion just now shouldn't have affected the patriarch, stay for a while, those people will probably come." ”
So Jiang Heng picked up his long sword and quickly ran towards the depths of the canyon, "I want to see what is in here." ”
——
The rock wall is gray and mottled, and I don't know how many years of moss have accumulated, making it even more age-old. The more you go inside, the deeper it becomes, as if walking in a corridor of history, the darker it becomes, the more ancient it becomes, and it is quiet, as if you can see the rhythm of your heart and history.
Walking on such a path, it is as if life has been sublimated, the soul has been purified, and the value has been leaped, as if ...... It's like the real thing.
"How long will this road take? Did I walk through a fork in the road just now?" Standing next to a cave, Jiang Heng was a little confused, "Oh no, my slight road dementia has been committed again." ”
The two people hiding in the shadows couldn't figure their heads anymore, "Didn't you say that there were more than 20 people? Why is this kid the only one?" "Yes, could it be that they are here to explore the way, or that they are separated?"
When Tom and Jerry first came, they were actually quite scared, it is said that all of them are high-ranking sheriffs, and the lowest ones are all at the level of green feathers.
The kid in front of him, although he doesn't have the feeling of those green feathers in the organization, is also much stronger than the two of himself.
"Why don't we go back first and report to Lord Fang Yan?" said Tom, retracting his head and hiding behind the boulder, to Jerry, who was still observing.
"I think it's doable. Jerry also put his head back at this time, and clenched an old rune gun in his hand.
"Alright, let's go. With that, Tom stooped down and crept his way to a hole, Jerry following closely.
Puff –
"What's going on?" Jerry, who was crawling, was startled, and yelled at Tom in front of him, and then immediately looked behind him, but he didn't see any figure, heard any sound, and it seemed that the man didn't notice, and he was relieved.
Tom replied curtly, "I'm sorry, I touched a pebble." ”
"You idiot, why are you so careless. Jerry closed his eyes helplessly and shook his head. Tom quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry." ”
"yes, you were so careless," a voice came from the front, and Tom turned around, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"
The rest of the words were swallowed back into his stomach without saying the words, because he saw a kind face with a gentle smile in front of him, "Get up, how dirty and cold the ground is, how bad it is to stain yourself and catch a cold." ”......
Jiang Heng sat on a stone and looked at the two people in front of him helplessly. "Your Excellency, spare your life!" your lordship, ...... two people knelt there, shouting one after the other.
"Alright, you two get up, I don't like people kneeling in front of me. ”
When Tom and Jerry heard this, they quickly stood up, but they didn't dare to behave disrespectfully in front of Jiang Heng, so they squatted on the ground.
"You two start by telling the details of the organization behind you, and say as much as you know. Jiang Heng held the sword in his hand and played with a few sword flowers, hinting at something as if he were nothing.
"My name is Jerry, and he's Tom. The smaller, dark-skinned man quickly replied, and pointed to the fatter man next to him, with a split hair.
"Tom and Jerry, coincidence, or do you want to tease me?" Jiang Heng complained in his heart.
"Actually, the two of us were originally just two gangsters in Biyan City, we have known each other since childhood, and we accidentally committed something with me and were arrested and put in prison, and in the middle of this year, we were supposed to be executed and sent to be cremated, but we were rescued by a group of people in the crematorium, and we have been instructed by them ever since. ”
After listening to Tom's words, Jiang Heng instantly discovered several problems. "What did you commit, and how could you be executed?"
"This, this ......" Jerry was a little hesitant.
"Say it quickly!" Jiang Heng shouted angrily.
"My lord, spare my life, the two of us just stole some reagent bottles and sold them. Tom hastened to reply.
"Just stolen the bottle?" Jiang Heng was a little puzzled, "Then it's not a death sentence, right?"
"That's true, but," Jerry said cautiously, "we've stolen more than three thousand." ”
Jiang Heng looked shocked, "Did you go to the Potions Workshop to steal it, or did you steal it from the scrap recycling station?"
"The scrap recycling station has raised the price of reagent bottles, from one copper coin to two three copper coins, and the two of us went directly to the potions workshop to steal the bottles in order to save trouble. ”
"Then you don't have to be sentenced to death, right?"
"In order to get the empty bottles, the two of us emptied more than 3,000 bottles of potions in the workshop overnight and sold them for nearly fifty gold coins. ”
At this time, Jiang Heng's mood no longer knew what to use, even if it was the lowest-level recovery potion, three thousand bottles would cost at least six thousand gold coins, if he was the owner of the workshop, it was estimated that he would be angry to death.
As a result, after the owner found out, he was angry and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and died on the spot after the rescue failed. So our brothers were sentenced to death. Tom then said to Jerry.
Come on, such a fool has the desire to die.
"Then you should be executed and sent to the crematorium, then how are you so good now?" Jiang Heng asked again.
"Actually, we don't know much about this, I don't know how long it started, and poison was used when the death penalty was carried out. After the two of us drank the medicine that day, we lost consciousness and were already in the crematorium by the time we woke up. ”
"Several crematorium people told us that we were dead and were now going to live as ghosts and serve adults. ”
"My lord, who is he?" Jiang Heng hurriedly asked, as far as he knew, the crematorium was under the jurisdiction of the government, and if there was a problem with the people in the crematorium, there must be something wrong with the official.
"We don't know, we never met the adult, and all the instructions were told to us by another dead man. Jerry lowered his head.
"You never thought of running away?" Jiang Heng stared into their eyes.
Tom smiled wryly, "We want to escape, but we need to be able to escape." ”
"What do you mean?"
Jerry looked up again, "My lord, just look behind us." ”
Jiang Heng walked behind them, lifted their shirts, and saw a needle-like metal device being inserted near the heart of their backs.
"What is this?"
"We don't know what it is, but we just know that with this thing, the gang could kill us at any moment. Jerry smiled wryly.
"The Neural Demon Energy Reversal Elemental Device, which was originally supposed to be a device used to eliminate alien demon sources in the human body, has it been transformed into a detonating device for a human bomb?" Jiang Heng thought to himself.
"Is your organization's lair in this Grand Canyon?"
"That's right, one of the caves in the canyon has long been transformed into an underground fortress. ”
Jiang Heng nodded, he almost understood, but he still had a few questions left, "What is the purpose of your organization?"
"We don't know, but when the two of us came, we heard that they attacked Biyan City, robbed something, and then dug in the hole, by the way, it was called the 'mine', as if the adult was looking for something. Again, Jerry was answering.
Jiang Heng understood something, "That's why you have captured so many Inhumans in the past two months in order to carry out the collection work for you." ”
The two people in front of them were stunned for a moment, and then they reacted, Tom replied, "That's right, it seems that the adults think our progress is too slow, so a few transcendents in charge of the mine led people to arrest a lot of Inhumans, and I was shocked when I saw so many Inhumans at that time." ”
It seemed that those Inhumans were still in the cave, Jiang Heng pondered, "Last question, what is the strength of your organization?"
The two people in front of them thought for a moment, "To be honest, we don't know very well, the most powerful thing we have been in contact with so far is the Qingyu level, it seems that there are seven or eight, and there are even more transcendents below, adding up to more than fifty, and there are two or three hundred ordinary people like us without feathers." ”
With the status of the two of them, not all of them can be contacted, it is very likely that there are also Blue Feather level transcendents in this, and the number of other transcendents can only be more.
Jiang Heng got the information he wanted, and there was nothing more for the two people in front of him, so he walked behind them with a sneer, and stretched out his hands to the neurological device on their backs, "Thank you two so much for the information, in return, you will have an ultimate enjoyment next." ”
In an instant, two violent screams resounded through the canyon where they were.
