To be honest, Shui Wang had no intention of hunting at first.

He followed all the way, just trying to find an active guy to assist, after all, the rescue and search mission seemed to be coming to an end.

Tsk, what a great excuse.

On the wooden bed that had been improvised by alchemy, Mia slowly opened her eyes.

Although her vision was very dim, her mind and body were much more relaxed, just a little, awkward.

The next thing she regained was the smell of rotting wood and disinfectant mixed in, followed by a slight ache.

It seems that the effect of [WA3 Extreme Awakening Elixir] has faded.

Mia struggled to sit up on the rough wooden bed, pulling in the mass of metal wires she knew, the nanowires of medical sensors, strong and easy to sterilize.

Looking along the line, in the dim light, the empty room was indeed full of various instruments and equipment.

She knew most of the instruments here, but had never connected them to herself.

Mentally began to stabilize, and Mia's concentration and stamina began to return.

She found the guy who was packing up the equipment, and remembered the other party's demagogic words before.

Wrong! Could it be that a long time has passed?!

Mia was alert, but she didn't care what Wang Shui had done to her, she just remembered what she had to do - her time was running out!

Plop –

Mia slammed to the floor, unobstructed by clothing, the rough wood fibers leaving clear scratches on her delicate skin.

Her body seemed to have lost the resilience of the transcendent.

"In order to prevent you from resisting unconsciously, I used some anesthetic, the anesthetic you brought, the effect is almost over - oh yes, your clothes are on the other side of the bed."

Wang Shui's voice lost its previous demagogy and mystery, and returned to its original laziness and blandness.

He was slowly cleaning up the instruments and bottles and cans all over the floor, and didn't say much, or do more.

Mia, on the other side, also crawled back into bed without saying a word, and then began to dress with clumsy limbs.

This scene made her feel a little inexplicable, and now she was like clumsily loading her weapon on a cold rainy night before.

Mia didn't rush to put on her damp coat, and the fresh water stains told her that the time had not passed long.

She needed a moment to wait for the effects of the anesthetic to wear off, and she also needed a moment to think.

The club uniform, which originally fitted perfectly, is now twisted on the body.

Mia didn't care about the awkwardness of the clothes, because now her body was even more ill-fitting, as if her soul was wearing the wrong clothes.

Wang Shui seemed to be aware of this, and he took the initiative to break the silence:

"Your body has too many patched areas, so it takes some time to get used to it.

Personally, I think that the soul and memory will be more important, so I take it upon myself to ensure the integrity of the soul, as for the body......

If you train properly, it only takes about half a year and you can get back to your previous skills. ”

"Thank you."

Confirming that her body had returned to a state of self-healing, Mia expressed her gratitude very calmly.

She dragged her damp coat over it, put on her cane beside the bed, and as she walked to the door, she said:

"Thank you for your help, I will be after finding my friend...... Everything is given to you. ”

Mia's voice was very cold.

But unlike the loneliness and alienation of most transcendentals, her coldness is hoarse, hopeless, and helpless.

Wang Shui also felt the caution and vigilance of not being deeply involved in the world, as well as humiliation.

"It seems that you didn't listen to me at all."

Wang Shui leaned against the windowsill, casually threw a crystal test tube to Mia, and then looked at the rainy night outside and said:

"This is the direction of your pursuit, not to mention the problem of fighting, are you really ready to face the [Turbidity] creatures?"

Wang Shui's words succeeded in keeping Mia, and the latter also looked at what he had caught.

It is a perfectly sealed crystal tube without any traces of engagement.

Inside is a dark purple viscous liquid, slightly more fluid than asphalt, but asphalt doesn't reach out to explore its surroundings.

"What is this?"

Mia knew [Turbidity], but she didn't understand what Shui Wang meant.

"So, do you have to start looking for a needle in a haystack from other clues when you get out of here? Almost killed, and didn't realize the clue was in your hands? ”

Wang Shui is not deliberately selling Guanzi, he is organizing the language, and he is also checking the information.

Mia didn't care about the faint sarcasm in Wang Shui's language, she just needed clues and answers.

"The flesh and blood tissue in your hands comes from a [Turbidity Abyss Dirty Worm], it is not a real-world creature that has fused the power of the Turbidity Abyss, but a real [Turbidity Abyss] native.

The Turbidity Worm will parasitize on any living being, devour and replace a certain organ of the host, and then provide the host with power from the Turbidity Abyss. ”

Wang Shui paused at this point, and Mia immediately asked:

"You mean, that guy who blew himself up is the host of the Turbidity Creature?"

"Of course not, although the natives of the Turbidity Abyss are notoriously brainless and will only kill in order to survive and reproduce, but the intelligent creatures who dare to carry the power of the Turbidity Abyss, without exception, are all smart guys.

They won't be so easily exposed, and they won't be willing to stay at the bottom of society and let you rub it. ”

Mia didn't care about the words that would turn sarcastic from time to time.

She took a half-step forward, urging the answer with her eyes.

"Ha, don't worry, of course I'll tell you, because I'm here to help, and it's just a part of the work to save you alone, and the cost is quite large, so I need extra pay."

Wang Shui first showed that he was not taking advantage of others' danger, and then began to analyze.

"Sort out your thoughts a little, aren't you completely surprised, why would a low-level gang member trigger such a violent corpse explosion?

I can be sure that there were no necromancy or life school mages around.

Looking at your eyes, it seems that there is no such concept, alas, the eldest lady of the Tree of Origin, let me explain it to you.

The knowledge and props related to [Corpse Explosion] are originally Class A contraband, and there is a lot of difficulty in mastering, and corpses are also needed as materials when casting spells, so in general, the market demand is very small, but its price has always been very high.

Hmm, I just checked, here in Zhongcheng District, the engraved [Corpse Explosion Array] costs 2,800 pieces, and the person being engraved needs to die first to trigger, and the [Secret Card] of the same power needs to be at least tens of thousands, and the cardholder needs to take the initiative to release it.

Don't worry about the conditions yet, 2800 alloy coins, do you know the meaning of this money in Midtown? ”

Mia knows too well, after all, most of the money in her hand is general-purpose alloy coins, and only a small amount is the [Yajin Credit] issued by the planet itself.

She bought the life of that gang member for a measly 72 dollars.

Converted to local credits, it is only 720 points.

"It seems that you understand the value of this money, 2,800 yuan, enough for three or four people here to eat and drink well for a year.

Whether you understand the survival logic of small gangs or not, I can tell you very clearly that they will not consider the so-called extermination insurance at all, no matter how cheap it is.

There is still a difference between gang organizations and other organizations.

After all, they get together to make money and survive, not for power, power and the like, illusory things, at least the small gangs will not consider. ”

Wang Shui said as he hooked his fingers.

Mia felt the crystal test tube in her hand being gently pulled, so she let go of her hand and let it fly towards the aqua regia.

"So, why did the corpse explosion happen? Who is it and is there something to hide?

Most people may ignore it, but unfortunately, I've been interested in flesh and blood lately, so I'm quite sensitive to these things. ”

Wang Shui shook the test tube on his fingertips, and then put it away.

"They are scattered in normal flesh and blood, and even the energy characteristics are suppressed to a minimum, but as long as you know how to play with flesh and blood a little, and master some professional skills, it is not difficult to pick them out.

Okay, enough of the detours, let me talk about my guess -

Recent...... About four months ago, there was a lucky guy who was successfully parasitized by a lucky [Turbidity Abyss Dirty Worm].

He survived the parasitic process with a very high mortality rate, and also carried the dangerous [dissolution of consciousness].

Then, he went from being an ordinary person, or a low-level transcendent, to a turbid creature with self-awareness and wisdom.

The rapid improvement of his physical fitness did not overwhelm him, and the powerful spell-casting ability did not make him swell.

He quietly hid and relied on splitting out [Secondary Abyss Cells] to control some weak-willed people, asking them to help him earn money to buy materials, and help him hunt to gather resources for the next evolution. ”

"My friend, his prey?"

Mia didn't doubt Aqua regia's guess, or any reasonable guess she would believe, and was willing to try to search.

"It's unlikely, this guy lives on his brain, and he has high requirements for the safety of his prey.

Although human life in Midtown is not valuable, various organizations will not allow these "resources" to be wantonly preyed, and the bottom organizations care more about the lives of people at the bottom, and they practice their own order.

If there is something that affects the order on their own territory, and they can't solve it themselves, they won't be stingy, and the price of hiring transcendents is not high, especially [Demon Hunter] and the like, which are strong enough, professional enough, and cheap.

As long as you're sure, it's things from other worlds, or alien gods that are wreaking havoc on your territory.

So, if I were an intelligent Turbidity Creature, I would never hunt the locals at will, let alone provoke those glamorous innercity people, it would be too unsafe.

I'll control some of the scattered labor, let them go and make money, and then go buy some cheap slaves.

How safe it is to buy slaves, you can't use them up in normal times, and you can also transform them into thugs, so that they can also go to work to make money, and the money makes money, which is nothing more than a little less efficient. ”

Wang Shui said this, and suddenly reached out and opened the window.

It was still a dull and rainy night outside, and most of the lights had been turned off.

"I ...... And then what? ”

Mia still didn't understand why Aqua Kings emphasized the creatures of the Turbidity Abyss, and said that it wasn't it.

"I can't think of any more details," Wang Shui spread his hands,

"But this fortunate and shrewd gentleman doesn't seem to want you to torture his men.

After all, your information almost made his subordinates out of control, so he killed the killer, directly solved his own people, and then temporarily built the [Corpse Explosion Technique] to get rid of you.

Well, using [Secondary Abyss Cells] as a medium to construct spells is indeed a guy with ideas. ”

"So?"

"So you should go and apologize to your face."

"Huh?"

Wang Shui spoke in surprise, but his tone didn't seem like a joke, and the room fell into a brief silence as Mia waited for Wang Shui's answer.

Wang Shui didn't make Mia wait too long:

"Found you...... What a cautious guy, the subordinate network sets the subordinate network, and remote control can be achieved with such a narrow bandwidth, which is indeed a set, and I have to look at him again.

Keep up, let's go for a door-to-door visit. ”

After babbling to himself, Wang Shui jumped out of the window, and jumped on the roof of the sixth floor opposite.

Mia immediately followed.

Her physical fitness is much stronger than that of Wang Shui's [Sapphire] clone, but because of the incompatibility between her body and soul, coupled with the weakness after repair, her skills are much slower.

can jump, can fly eaves and walk on walls, but the body will be weak for a while.

Quietly leaning on her cane to support her body, Mia used her free left hand to comb the broken hair in front of her forehead.

As early as a few days ago, she had cut her long silver-white hair short to facilitate her movement. Judging from the experience of the past few days, cutting your hair short is indeed a wise choice.

Wang Shui didn't care about Mia's procrastination, and he didn't mean to take care of her.

He took a step in the night rain and breeze, and the whole person blended into the night breeze with a speed that was neither fast nor slow.

Quiet, ethereal and quick.

Mia followed with all her might, and although she was weak, she didn't use any amplification potions.

Because she doesn't know much about her physical condition, she can't use medicine casually.

Moreover, her body no longer belongs to her.

The two of them walked on foot, and it did take a while.

Wang Shui has gone as straight as he can, but in some buildings in Midtown, the roofs are full of traps, and some even have machine gunners and snipers on the roofs.

The rifle culture of the whole world has not been very strong, and the machine guns and sniper rifles here refer to magical things similar to small-caliber guns.

Wang Shui didn't rush to find trouble, [Psychological Invisibility] is not very effective against automatic cannons.

Eventually, in a deep and silent alley, in the darkness without much light source, Wang Shui landed at the door of a black clinic with the night wind.

Knock - is the sound of a cane gently falling to the ground, which is particularly harsh in a quiet environment.

The sound of the cane made Mia, who was a little disturbed in her breathing, a little embarrassed.

She looked at Shui Wang, but Shui Wang didn't seem to care.

In front of them is a very ordinary black clinic, there are one or two in most neighborhoods, and both gang members and local residents rely on this kind of black clinic.

The independent three-storey building and clean street environment indicate the status of this place, but there are really no security personnel here, and it seems that the security of the whole neighborhood is not bad.

Wang Shui didn't think much about it, and walked directly to the main gate.

He didn't knock on the door, just a gentle push, and the door opened.

Mia followed inside, catching a glimpse of the dissipating pale blue glow on the doorlock, where the metal deadbolt had been severed.

Cutting spells? Alchemy?

Silent and very fast, this guy is not ordinarily strong!

Mia subconsciously thought about it, and was immediately interrupted by the pungent smell of inferior disinfectant water - it was not only the smell of medical alcohol, but also the smell of many chemical reagents that she was very familiar with.

"Who! Who's on the ground floor! Are there any wounded?! Speak! Or I'll shoot! ”

At the top of the stairs to the second floor, there was a loud roar that seemed to be the doctor who lived here.

"Hello, Mr. Lucky," Wang Shui said,

"I'm very sorry for this late-night visit, but I think if I don't come tonight, it may be difficult to find you in the future."

"There's no lucky one here, you're in the wrong place."

The doctor replied as he cautiously descended the stairs, and he noticed that the people below did not seem to be reckless people who had come to make trouble, so he walked halfway up the stairs and descended.

Of course, he has always maintained a gun posture, and the muzzle of the gun has always been locked on Wang Shui.

"Tsk, deep cognitive modification, very cautious, Mr. Lucky.

If you don't want to lose this doctor servant who can make money, I think it's better for you to come out by yourself, or rather, I'll go up to the third floor? ”

"Who are you? For what? ”

It was still the doctor who answered the questions with questions.

But his voice changed from a middle-aged man full of anger to a somewhat young girl's voice.

"Oh, sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet, under [Blue Ink], a little bounty hunter who has just joined the search and rescue mission.

Today I brought my employer and first of all I apologize to you.

Because of our actions, you have lost one of your subordinates, and we will compensate you accordingly, but we also hope to get some information from you-

At least those students shouldn't have been killed by you, right? ”

Wang Shui's excessive politeness made Mia very strange.

Because the short impression left by Wang Shui on her was only wise and mean, as well as arrogance that was difficult to hide.

Now that he is so humble and polite, could it be that this turbidity creature is very powerful?!

Mia began to secretly raise her guard and prepare for battle.

"I don't know what kind of students, get out of my territory quickly, just two low-level ......"

Bang –

The doctor's head suddenly exploded into a ball of blood, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Wang Shui flirted with the windbreaker with his left hand, shook the pistol with his right hand, and then took the opportunity to insert the huge pistol back into the quick-pull holster.

"Stepping on a horse, bluffing to Lao Tzu's head, stinky maggots in the sewers, don't you eat and drink when you toast."
