Chapter IX PUA
"Giant" Simon was speechless for a while, and only said after a few seconds: "Are you crazy?" At best, it's just a missed opportunity. β
"Mouse" Christo followed and said: "If the task is important, the boss will definitely go in person, and will not send us, if it is not important, then the risk will not be high." β
This line of thinking is similar to what Lumian had at the beginning.
Lumian glanced at the entrance to the underground Trier not far away, and said with a deliberate smile: "Maybe our role is bait, for example, the boss suspects that there are forces secretly monitoring us, and specially designed such a task, if everything goes well and there is no abnormality, then the alarm will be lifted and treated as a test, but if something is really fished, he can follow this line to find out the truth and eradicate the hidden dangers, as for whether our bait will be eaten by fish?" It's not his concern, as long as the most Zhang can achieve his intended goal and lose a few low-rank extraordinary, he can still bear it. β
Christo, the "mouse" who said this, turned a little pale, and Simon, the "giant", fell silent.
Although they don't know much in the occult world, they have been gangsters for many years, and they have been the leaders for a long time, and they still have the most basic analytical skills, and they have to admit that Charles's speculation has some truth, which makes them inevitably worry about their lives, especially "Mouse" Chris, whose mind is full of the city's appearance before his brother Elken's death and the painful expressions of his wife and children, if the boss hadn't arranged something else for him at that time, and didn't participate in that smuggling activity, he must have been so-called" The Man in the Mirror was replaced, and he died miserably in a corner of the earth, and his wife, his dogs, and the other animals he raised would all be cheaper than the "Man in the Mirror".
For a while, thinking so, the three of them each lit the calcium carbide lamp, and along the steel staircase down, they entered the ground in silence.
"Mouse" Christo looked around the dark tunnel with the help of a slightly blue yellowish light, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "The boss shouldn't deliberately let us die, although we are only low-level extraordinary, but we are all useful, if we die underground, the boss may have to spend half a year or even a year to cultivate a new person who can replace us." β
He remembered that in the "Man in the Mirror" incident, the boss asked him to do something else, obviously to keep him true without leaking secrets.
Everything has a price, and maybe the chips to be exchanged for this time are more important than the three of us combined.
Lumian carried a calcium carbide lamp that emitted a yellowish light, and walked in the dark and slightly wet passage without slowness, while sneering: "I also hope that this mission is like what the boss said, there is not much danger, but you can't be naΓ―ve, you have to prevent the worst." β
Christo, who had noticed that Charles had been greatly improved, involuntarily asked, "What should we do?" β
In his opinion, Charles is the most reliable object in this mission, and it is a lifesaver at a critical moment.
Hearing this question, Simon "Giant" looked sideways at Christo in surprise, when did this "Mouse" Christo become so timid, he is also the leader of the boss's subordinates, why did he choose to show his weakness and worry, his pride and self-esteem in front of Charles? Isn't he afraid that the Charr will suppress him and encroach on his smuggling business from now on?
Lumian wanted such an effect, and said sincerely: "The boss has helped me several times, and I am willing to complete the task for him, but the premise is that the risk of that task is not particularly high, and it will not let us only die, this choice, damn, I haven't lived enough, so my attitude is to complete the task when I can complete it, and if I can't complete it, I will not hesitate to give up, and ensure that I can still live, and this may require the three of us to let down our guard against each other and cooperate fully to deal with the hidden dangers." β
Such an attitude came to the hearts of "Mouse" Christo and "Giant" Simon, making them nod their heads more or less visibly, no one is not selfish, will take a certain risk for the boss, it is already a sign of loyalty enough, and accept such an attitude, and the cooperation of the real city to fight the danger seems to be the only option, at least on the surface.
"How can we work together?"
"Mouse" Christo quickly made up his mind that he couldn't think of another "Man in the Mirror" incident.
"First of all, we have to understand each other's abilities so that we can work better together," Lumian laughed. β
"Mouse" Christo hesitated for two seconds and said: "I am an animal trainer, the sequence 8 of the 'medicine' pathway, I can fight many beasts head-on, and I can also do a certain amount of communication and exchange with them, gradually domesticate them, let them become my assistants, I can also help people see doctors, provide treatment, all aspects." β
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Charles, as if he wanted to ask him if he needed to improve his abilities and replenish the potions consumed by his body, he heard that Charles was a very young man, not only had a hot fight with Jana, the mistress of "Red Boots", but also had an affair with nearly ten dancing girls, and arranged for them to go to the Old Pigeon Coop Theater to learn to perform and make money, and no longer have to accompany guests.
The "pharmacist" knew that Christo the "Mouse" was the "pharmacist", so he should have brought him in and filled Jana's mother with a few bottles of potion, so that Jana's mother should be able to heal and go home that night.
Lumian sighed silently, and nodded lightly in the light of the carbide lamp.
The more "Giant" Simon listened, the more surprised and stunned he became, he suspected that "Mouse" Christo was crazy and actually told the secret of his sequence as it was, you know, before that, except for the boss Gardner? Martin, no one knows what the sequence of "Mouse" Christo is? After all, there are not a few people who love pets in Trier, and there are also a lot of them, and even pets as lovers can occasionally be seen in the newspaper.
In an instant, Simon "Giant" thought of a possibility, "Mouse" Christo was in charge of the smuggling business, and was the leader who completed the boss's most secret tasks, he might know something, and he was pessimistic about this operation, so he recognized Charles's words and chose to cooperate sincerely.
"Mouse" Christo sighed and continued: "I'm unlucky, I haven't domesticated a real transcendent creature until now, otherwise, even if I meet an extraordinary person in the middle sequence, I'm not without the ability to fight them, this mission is very urgent, I didn't give us time to prepare, I only brought a few companions with me, damn, I'm afraid we won't die fast enough?" β
As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and a triangular head popped out of his sleeve, and a colorful and colorful snake creature popped out of his sleeve, and then Christo the "Mouse" let the snake go back into his sleeve, and put his hand into his pocket, and grabbed a palm-sized mouse, which was different from the usual ones, with light white hair, distinct roots, and a pair of eyes as bright as rubies.
"Its name is Tefi, and it's a special creature that I found in this area when I was in the smuggling business, and it can't be used as the main material for any kind of potion itself, but it can sense hidden dangers." "Mouse" Christo gave a brief introduction.
"It can also sense the approximate strength of other people."
Lumian asked thoughtfully.
"Mouse" Christo glanced at Lumian in amazement, hesitated for two seconds, and said, "Yes." β
Seeing that the "mouse" had revealed enough information, Lumian, although he suspected that he had other abilities or other pets, did not ask any more questions, and set his eyes on Simon, the "giant".
"Giant" Simon hesitated, remembering the guess just now, and said angrily: "I am the 'Warrior' Path Sequence 8 'Fighter' and 'Iron Hammer' Aite, I am good at frontal combat, proficient in various fighting techniques, I have a gun, a short knife, a military stab and a fist gauntlet. β
What he said was relatively brief, after all, "fighters" have no special abilities, no magical items, and it is also difficult for gangsters cultivated by this kind of secret organization to obtain magical items.
Lumian chuckled, "You're better than Hammer Aite because you have the brains and can see the situation." β
These words made the "giant" Simon not know whether to be angry or proud, and he looked at Lumian with a calcium carbide lamp and said, "What about you, which way of the sequence 8 hunter?" β
Since they want to work together, then Charles can't hide it, Lumian smiled, raised his right hand, laid it flat in front of him, and silently, a red flame emerged from his palm, hovering in mid-air, burning quietly.
"You're a fireman." "Giant" Simon blurted out in amazement.
One of the most important things in Trier's various occult circles is the case of the low sequence of the "Hunter" path, especially those below Sequence 6.
Lumian didn't respond, smiling instead of answering.
Simon "Giant" suddenly understood why "Mouse" Christo's attitude towards Charles had changed so much, why he showed a posture of asking for help, sequence 7 is the starting point of the middle sequence, compared to their extraordinary people in this low sequence, there has been a qualitative change, and the strength is not known how many times stronger.
After retracting his gaze from Christo's coat pocket, Simon "Giant" asked Lumian in surprise and suspicion: "Does the boss know that you have been promoted to Sequence 7?" β
"The Boss helped me find the auxiliary materials." Lumian replied truthfully, and let the crimson flame in his palm dissipate into the yellowish light.
This, since the "giant" Simon's child hole is magnified.
Lumian glanced left and right and continued, "So, if I can complete the mission, I will definitely try to complete it. β
After speaking, he took out an iron-colored potion bottle while moving forward, and threw it to Simon, the "giant" on the side, and said: "This is the 'scorpion venom' I got from Hammer Aite, you can smear a little bit of your weapon to improve your strength, and it is also to improve our chances of survival." β
"Giant" Simon caught the potion bottle, and was a little stunned for a while, although Charles is annoying and doesn't deal with himself, but whether it is knowledge, mental strength or style of doing things, it makes people feel that he can rely on it, and he unconsciously obeys and follows.
Lumian, who didn't look back and walked ahead, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, he just exaggerated the risk and created fear, just to suppress the spirit of "Rat" Christo and "Giant" Simon, let them fall into a worried mood, and then show his strength, give convincing advice and a little favor, and shape himself as the leader of this team, only in this way, can he give full play to the strength of the team and fight against possible dangers without revealing his hole cards.
