Chapter 0022 - Curiosity Kills Cats

On the other side, in the center of Anhuo City, the city hall.

The city government has the most magnificent complex of buildings in Anhuo City, which does not belong to the lord of the city, but the land given to the government by the Shengyuan Kingdom after it was divided into towns.

Every morning, there is a steady stream of people who come to work in this area.

The most spectacular scene of the morning rush hour has always been seen here, as if an ant colony has entered a white palace and served all citizens day in and day out.

"Hello city lord."

"Hello city lord."

Li Xianhe held a newspaper and glasses, and walked slowly into the city government building, but before he could go up the steps, the secretary Du Ying ran towards him quickly.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Fang is waiting for you in the office."

"Oh?" Li Xianhe closed the newspaper and glanced upstairs: "Is it good news?" ”

"Looks ...... It's not like ......."

Li Xianhe smiled and patted Du Ying's shoulder, still walked up slowly, opened the door of his office, and the dart master was sitting at the tea table, crossing Erlang's legs.

"Mr. Lee." Fang Zhuang, the dart master guarding the resource car, pinched the cigarette with his fingertips, and his eyes when he looked at Li Xianhe were blocked by the smoke, hiding a trace of vicissitudes.

The two of them used to go to school in the same school, he was considered a junior brother, and Li Xianhe was considered a senior brother.

"Yesterday's incident ......" Fang Zhuang gestured to stand up.

"Sit, sit." Li Xianhe pressed his hand, picked up the large teacup on the desk, walked to the square tea table, and began to boil water.

As soon as the water boiled, he threw a pinch of tea leaves into the cup and brewed the water directly.

Suddenly, the messy aroma of tea overflowed, slightly diluting the taste of cigarettes.

"When a guest comes, the tea should be brewed slowly, every step, every detail, is like a war." Li Xianhe said slowly: "But when my friends come, I will tell them that I like to soak directly." Drinking tea is to quench your thirst, and drinking tea alone is just a waste of time. What's more, what you talk about with your opponent is business, and what you talk about with your friends is direction. ”

"Directions?" Fang Zhuang crossed his hands and leaned forward.

"The direction is to drink water and quench your thirst. You talk about business to live, you live to drink water, quench your thirst, it's that simple. ”

"I ...... I don't really understand ......"

"It doesn't matter what happened last night, whether that soothsayer knows what we're doing or not, whether it's the smuggling, the black market, or the rebellion, don't care about anything, just wait a few more months and it'll be over."

"I really don't care, can I?" Fang Zhuang couldn't eat it accurately, but Li Xianhe pushed the teacup over for him.

"I don't care about it, but the core is that I don't care, because as you can see, we don't have enough manpower." Li Xianhe drank the water in the dry glass, a little beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and then he let out a long breath of joy: "If you understand, go to work." ”

The water in this cup has just been boiled, and it should still be piping hot.

But as soon as Lee Son Hyuk's mouth was close to the mouth of the cup, the steam was suppressed like this.

"Yes." Fang Zhuang stood up and bowed.

"Hey......" Li Xianhe remembered something: "Is that snake still there?" ”

"Where's the crystal shard?"

"Can't see it, it's still under the belly of the snake, do you want to send someone?"

"No need, but send someone to stay there and don't let people in."

"Yes."

Fang Zhuang left with doubts, and Du Ying, the secretary who was guarding the door, quickly knocked on the door and came in.

Li Xianhe glanced up and motioned for Du Ying to close the door.

Du Ying then took out a finger-sized tower-shaped instrument, which was stuffed with an energy storage crystal, and when the true qi was fed, a faint blue light lit up inside.

It is possible to block conversations in the office.

The atmosphere was different from what it was just now.

Du Ying put the information on the table, then lowered his hands and did not speak.

Li Xianhe read it silently, took another sip of tea, and then said in a low voice: "If I speed up, what is the risk?" ”

"If things come to light, maybe kill more people. If you kill more people, you will be punished from above. Du Ying quickly made his own professional judgment.

"Expediting to ...... What about three months? ”

"Nope." Du Ying raised four fingers: "At least four months." ”

"You can go as fast as you can, and check the people from other places, no matter when you come. If there really is a fourth-level mechanic hiding in Anhuo City, bring it over. ”

"If there really is a level four ......"

"If you can't beat it, call me and Fang Zhuang."

"You don't matter, do you?"

"Overtime, I'm about to retire anyway, so I can't fall on the last shift." Talking about this, Li Xianhe finally showed a smile and waved his hand to ask Du Ying to leave.

The office received two guests one morning, and then no one ever opened the door.

In the basement of the city hall, a black car quietly drove away, and a pair of eyes took one last look at the city hall building, and closed the window.

The huge energy storage crystal suspended in the government building quietly fell an imperceptible inch at this time.

The huge True Qi controlled the operation of the entire city, and countless people crowded into it to work, day after day.

Du Ying has already begun to check for outsiders, and according to the time of entering Anhuo City, Zhang Wu will be very high.

And the destination that Li Xianhe secretly went to was the newly built water station south of Anhuo City. But instead of going inside the building, he stopped at a nearby desert rock.

He was the only one in the car, the lord of Anhuo City, wearing an all-black combat uniform, hid the car and walked between the rock walls.

Boom.

The seemingly hard rock was smashed by his palm, revealing a dark hole.

Surprisingly, there is a rough staircase inside the cave.

Walking down the stairs and carefully drilling through another hole, Li Xianhe heard the sound of gurgling water.

Recently, I have received a lot of people here. Xu Sheng killed a lot of spiders here, and Li Ling sneaked in here and saw the golden shield, as well as the alien beast materials inside.

This photo, which had been left in the divination house, was kept by Fang Zhuang, and finally came into the hands of Li Xianhe.

When he came to the location in the photo, the shield had disappeared, and Li Xianhe stretched out his hand to touch the rock up and down, but found no residue.

At this time, a remnant fog spider approached from behind and raised its sickle-like hairy legs against Lee Seon-hyuk's back.

Sou.

The sound of the wind swept past his ears, Li Xianhe turned slightly to the side, looked at the fog spider close at hand, and put his right hand on his bulging belly.

The next second, there was a soft sound, and the spider fell, his eyes glazed out.

But the internal tissue structure of the body has been washed away by the true qi.

A coercion appeared in the cave, and all the fog spiders just watched from afar, not daring to get any closer.

After inspecting everything here, with some doubts, Li Xianhe sneaked down the river little by little into the depths of the ground.

The fog spider from the ground had already caught his attention when it was killed. Except for Zhang Wu, he had secretly investigated many people, but he didn't expect that in just a few weeks, something happened in the western mountain range again.

But fortunately, the snake was not killed, indicating that the man's strength was between the third and fourth levels. Whether it's a mechanic or a dart master, as long as the strength is still in this range, he won't worry too much.

But he still wants to know how many people are peeping into this secret.

Next to an unremarkable stone wall, Lee Son Hyuk, who was almost integrated with the darkness, waited for a while, and then moved the rock, revealing the mechanism behind it.

Rumble.

The sound of the mechanism working, and the door behind the rock wall slowly opened.

An almost substantial reaction of true qi poured out of the door, and with a wave of Li Xianhyuk's big hand, the true qi was stopped outside the door, and then he raised his feet and walked in.

"Wait."

Just then, a voice came from behind.

Lee looked back and saw another man crawling down from between the rock walls, holding a small pistol in his hand.

Both of them were dressed in black, and they looked like two dark shadows.

However, the man in black who appeared had a wonderful posture, and Li Xianhe glanced at it, and even the size of his underwear could be seen.

"Who are you?" Li Ling raised his gun and asked again: "Are you the dart master, or the lackey of the city government?" ”

As soon as she spoke, Lee Seon-hyuk smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"Soothsayer, so you're here."

was revealed by a word, Li Ling was not surprised, and approached little by little with a gun.

But he wanted the other party to raise his hand, but Li Xianhe didn't move.

"I know what you want to see, but what is behind this door, you are not qualified." Lee Seon-hyuk raised his right hand, seemingly completely unconcerned about the opponent's firearm.

"It doesn't matter if I'm good enough, it doesn't matter who you are." Li Ling's tone was full of smiles: "But I know now that that mysterious person does not belong to the government, and according to his actions, the target is also this door." He's better than me, so I don't think you need to hide it. ”

"I remember you...... You graduated from Qianfeng School, right? ”

Suddenly mentioning this question, Li Ling was stunned for a moment.

Li Xianhe continued: "What is the school motto of Qianfeng? ”

"Truth-seeking, enterprising, fearless, dedicated." Li Ling replied quickly.

"You had excellent grades when you were in school, you passed the third-level soothsayer exam at the age of twenty-five, served in Lintian City for two years, and then disappeared, and appeared in Anhuo City a year later." Li Xianhe paused, put down his hand, turned sideways to open the door behind him, and continued: "I am also from Qianfeng, you remember the school motto very clearly, and I also remember it very clearly, so, if you have doubts, I can show you the truth of this world." There is truth-seeking first, and then enterprising. If what you seek is not even true, your progress is meaningless. ”

He knew Li Ling very well, so when he said this, the latter almost guessed her identity.

The safe that he can inspect for himself must be close to the truth of the matter.

Li Ling discovered some secrets when he was in school, and it was these secrets that allowed him to track down Li Xianhe and the new city owner who was transferred to Anhuo City seven years ago.

This secret has something to do with the entire Shengyuan Kingdom.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Ling waved the head of the gun: "Raise your hands, you go in first." ”

"I'll go in first, and when this door falls, I'll be safe." Lee Son Hyuk knows this place well.

"Less nonsense, get inside."

Li Xianhe slowly walked into the secret door in front of him, and over his shoulder, Li Ling could vaguely see the reflective crystal section inside.

Suddenly, Li Xianhyuk's face changed and he turned around suddenly.

But this action stimulated Li Ling, she was not prepared, and with a flick of her fingers, the bullet was fired.

At this moment, a strong force burst out from Li Xianhe's body, he first swung sideways in front of him with one hand, and the majestic true qi collided with the bullet, directly hitting the secret door next to him.

However, Lee Xian-hyuk didn't care about the bullet at all.

"Who!?" He headed upstream of the groundwater, where a ...... Belch......

A ghost figure with a huge sack emerges in the darkness.

Revealing his place was a floating golden lamp. I don't know which dynasty and which generation of the golden lantern is the style, it looks simple and old.

But this sack is still too show-stealing, it looks like the rags left over from the construction of the water station above cover a person, and then buckle two holes in the position of the eyes.

Well, it's not like, it's yes.

Xu Sheng was also speechless, he hadn't slept all night, and his possessed body felt like a zombie if he didn't sleep.

But the point is that when Lee Son Hyuk's car drove nearby, he felt it.

This was a person who was even stronger than that dart master, Xu Sheng just watched him walk down the cave little by little, and then, another person appeared.

That soothsayer seems to have a set of hidden whereabouts.

In addition, the true qi revealed behind that door.

Ever since the snake returned, Xu Sheng had been suspicious of a problem.

The reason why the Lenza snake had grown so big was because it was entrenched in the storage crystal left behind by the ruins.

What about the fog spider at the water station? Could it be that there is also a crystal relic here?

No, he didn't feel it.

I was going to go back to sleep after carrying today's water, but unexpectedly, he felt what he wanted.

Really angry.

It's just that who is the person Li Ling is pointing at with his gun?

Just thinking about it, Li Xianhe raised his hand, his face remained unchanged when he had just blocked a bullet, and his true qi gathered in the middle of his palm, bursting out like a bullet.

His true qi has no color, and his trajectory is impossible to trace.

It's a capability he prides himself on.

Boom.

The golden light around Xu Sheng flashed, and the city lord's tentative attack did not set off a single wave.

"Is that you?" Li Ling began to retreat, and the three of them confronted each other in a triangle.

"You know him?" Lee Xian-hyuk frowned.

"Have you forgotten the picture you saw? Lord Castle. ”

"You're the legendary fourth-level mechanic?" Li Xianhe said: "Last night in the west of Baishan, was you?" ”

What is this?

Xu Sheng didn't know what to say, so in order to ease the atmosphere, he raised his hands.

A man in a sack raised his hands as if a ghost was about to pounce forward.

Lee Seon-hyuk pulled out the gun he had with him.

Boy...... Li Ling muttered in his heart, I'm afraid it will be easy for this person to kill me.

She stepped back a little further to see the two men fighting each other.

But she didn't know why, and she always felt that the city lord was very nervous.

"What is the origin of this gentleman?" Lee Seon-hyuk spoke again.

Xu Sheng didn't speak, he was silent for a moment, and the hand in the sack pointed to the door behind Li Xianhe.

He wanted to see what's inside.

"That's exactly what you're trying to do." Lee Son Hyuk's voice squeezed out between his teeth.

Well?

Also?

Xu Sheng glanced at Li Ling and thought:

Do you also need to restore the soul power that has been dissipated for thousands of years?
