was also a person who squatted in the same prison back then, and at this time, he was even more a fellow countryman with tears in his eyes.

"I remember you as ...... Xu Lao! Xu Lao, right? ”

"It's Xu," the old man rolled his eyes, "The full name is Xu Youguang, the former director of the Cult Management Office of the Xingzhu City Investigators Association." ”

"Oooh! I'll just say that your surname is Xu, and I heard from the Lu team at that time. ”

"What are you doing here?" As soon as the conversation changed, Xu Lao asked.

"I'll take a stroll around here and see if there's any oil...... Idle cultists. Li Ming shrugged his shoulders, he is now also the official establishment of investigators, and it is not too disobedient to say this.

"Oh, okay." The old man looked Li Ming up and down, "We received information over there that there is a suspected temporary stronghold of a cult in Xingmei City, so we came over to take a look." ”

"You?" Li Ming was a little unconvinced.

Xu Lao: "......"

A dignified investigator was actually thrown into a water prison with his feet broken and himself thrown into a water prison at that time, and he specially persuaded himself to be open-minded and look down on life and death.

Now you tell me, you went to Xingmei City to investigate the cult?

Well, it's normal to feel unbelieving.

"Ahem," Xu Lao coughed to hide his embarrassment, then put his hands behind his back and put on a posture of being a worldly master, "I know what you're thinking, don't look at me weak, but as an investigator, the most important ability should be the ability to investigate." ”

"Don't just think about solving everything with combat, I'm very good at all kinds of abilities like negotiation, reconnaissance, listening, psychology, etc."

Seeing that he said it with a serious look, Li Ming nodded lightly.

There are indeed various hidden tasks and exploration tasks occasionally on the Xingzhu Investigation APP, but Li Ming generally does not take on tasks in this regard, after all, there is no way to earn rations for Xiugus if he can't meet evil things.

As for Elder Xu's highlight moment......

Li Ming thought about the scene when he met Xu Lao at the beginning.

Well, with his strength, he must often be found by the target of the investigation and thrown into the dungeon, so he should be familiar with all kinds of dungeons.

Looking at Li Ming's contemplative appearance, Xu Lao nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, anyway, we just met, let's touch it first, and then we'll talk about it." ”

Xu Lao glanced around, and after making sure that there was no one, he took Li Ming to sneakily into the luxurious villa.

I have to say that although Xu Lao may be a little less interesting in terms of combat effectiveness, he has a lot of strange spell cards that can be used for investigation.

First, he came to the outside of the villa wall and used a [Shaping Hole] to form a two-meter-high wall hole directly out of thin air, and then used a [Shaping Wall Technique] to refill the wall.

When he walked in with Li Ming, Xu Lao used a [Breathing Technique] and [Silent Steps] to block the footsteps of the two, and a series of operations really surprised Li Ming.

Seriously, it's pretty professional.

In the process of moving forward, Xu Lao also reminded Li Ming from time to time: "Pay attention, we are just here to investigate, and we must not be discovered by anyone, if we startle the snake, it will be very troublesome." ”

"Got it."

Li Ming nodded heavily, don't be discovered by anyone, right?

Got it!

After seeing Li Ming nodding solemnly, Xu Lao was a little relieved.

He knew that Li Ming had already obtained the official establishment of the investigator, and Li Ming's strength was much stronger than himself at the moment when he made the first card, so it was better for him to protect himself.

As for Li Ming.

He simply felt that Xu Lao should know more information than himself, and it didn't hurt to follow him.

Anyway, the real purpose of his coming here was just to see if there was any oil and water to scavenge, and it was really not easy to find the card hiding room of a cult stronghold, and there was an investigator with excellent investigative ability who could at least ask him about it.

In this way, the two of them approached the villa little by little with their own goals.

An investigator like Xu Lao, whose strength is not too strong, naturally would not risk going through the main door, the two touched the side of the villa, and Xu Lao directly took out a [Light Body Technique] to give himself and Li Ming a BUFF.

After feeling that his weight had become lighter, Xu Lao rushed up directly, and he had already reached the roof in a few steps.

And Li Ming also followed behind him, and really experienced the thrill of using cards to take shortcuts.

I was thinking about whether I would have a whole set of cards like this in the future, but I heard Xu Lao complain.

"Alas, this set is estimated to have to take a small 10,000 to enter, I hope I can gain something this time." Xu Lao shook his head, and took the time to pat his purse.

Okay.

With such a simple sentence, all the illusions of Li Ming just now disappeared in an instant.

Shortcut? What shortcuts? What are the shortcuts?

When you encounter the villa you want to investigate, you can just let Dagon blow the door with a punch, and then let Xiugus lift himself up.

Spend 10,000 small and a bunch of bells and whistles and no fart spell cards, which don't exist.

After a few words in their hearts, the two of them arrived at the attic without a sound.

Reaching out and fanning their own dust, the two opened the attic cover and slowly moved to the third floor of the villa.

The first place I came to was a third-floor bedroom, which contained some very ordinary items and all kinds of decorations.

Li Ming didn't care too much, what he wanted was not these.

It was Old Xu's eyes that lit up, because he saw a huge vase standing on the table.

The vase is like a mysterious ancient artifact descending on the earth, as transparent and simple as glass, and the light passes through the glass, setting off its interior with golden brilliance, like ten thousand heavenly rays pouring into it.

There is also an oil painting next to it that looks a little clumsy, although the brushstrokes are not very skillful, but the brilliant and delicate colors are flashing with a different smell.

"See, this vase is old and expensive, and it is priceless; There is also this painting, I heard that it was painted by an art student who failed in history, and later he launched the ...... What are you doing? ”

Before Old Xu finished speaking, Li Ming directly summoned Xiugus.

Ever since Shogues was promoted to the ninth star, it had been able to control its body very well, and even the protoplasmic bump that was the core seemed to be only a small lump, which was extremely soft and cute.

Li Ming didn't hesitate, he directly picked up the vase and oil painting and threw it at Xiugus's body.

Xiugues was also very smart, it didn't open its mouth to chew, but caught all the things that Li Ming threw over, and slowly carried them down the window to the outside of the wall.

In the process of transporting things, Shogues's tentacles were almost less than a centimeter thick, and from a distance, it looked like those precious antique relics were floating in the sky.

After transporting the things out, Shogues also very thoughtfully shaped a shovel to dig on the spot, and hid all the things before taking the tentacles back.

Xu Lao was stunned: "You...... What are you doing? ”

"Didn't you say this thing was worth it? I'll earn some rations for Xiu Ji. Li Ming reached out and gently poked the protoplasmic buoculus of Xiugus, and listened to it chirp a few times.

"Then you can't do that!"

Xu Lao was also very decisive, and directly took out a [biomimetic part] on the spot to create an object similar to the vase and oil painting just now, which looked exactly the same.

Subsequently, he didn't blame Li Ming, but just said, "Be careful in the future." ”

Li Ming: "......"

Looking at the vase and oil painting that looked exactly the same at a glance, Li Ming was stunned for a moment.

Damn, is it so professional?

"Then, let's ......" Li Ming stretched out his hand and pointed to another room.

Xu Lao was silent for a moment, and finally held back a sentence from his mouth: "I'm four, you're six." ”

"Medium."

After that, Li Ming followed Xu Lao all the way.

I have to say that Xu Lao is really knowledgeable, he can see at a glance those valuable oil paintings and antique cultural relics, and occasionally he will scoff at those fakes that are put on display, and fiercely judge where the main problems of these fake and shoddy products are.

Li Ming didn't seem to understand it, but seeing that the old man reached out and knocked on the mouth of the bottle, and took out a magnifying glass to carefully observe the oil painting brushstrokes, he felt that this person's previous boasting of his outstanding investigation ability should not be fake.

Or rather, it doesn't look like a fake.

Anyway, it's over with the big guy stealing things in the back!

Although the price of antiques will not be ridiculously expensive in this world of card makers, the money for a few months of milk powder repaired after such a set of operations should be enough.

However, in the search along the way, a question gradually emerged in Li Ming's mind.

Why is there no one in this villa?

Not to mention whether there is anyone anymore, even Xu Lao said that this villa seems to have been uninhabited for at least a week, and even a layer of light ash has accumulated on the door.

And Li Ming also encountered a strange thing, the person he had been following before seemed to disappear after entering the villa, as if he had never appeared, and he had not even left a footprint.

You can't hit the ghosts.

Xu Lao still remembered his business, and he glanced around: "This villa should be an illusion, or the villa was simply robbed by them." ”

"Oh...... So let's contact the Real Estate Administration and ask them? ”

"That's too much trouble." Xu Lao shook his head, and then took out a card.

I saw that the spell card gradually turned into a streamer, and then suddenly fell to the ground, spreading out in the surroundings.

Soon, dozens of surrounding paths gradually withered, and only one was still shining.

Li Ming and Xu Lao hurriedly followed the streamer and soon came to a study.

Good fellow, study, there is a secret passage in this place!

"Xiu, come, find."

A lump of cultivators lying in Li Ming's hand immediately stretched out more than a dozen tentacles and began to rummage along each ornament.

Soon, it found a book that didn't seem quite right.

A pull, sure enough.

The entrance to the basement is revealed!

And above that entrance, there is a huge sign painted on it.

"This is ......" Xu Lao narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The Invisible Disruptor Sign!"
