Living room.

Lin Qiye, Cao Yuan, Baili Chubby, Jia Lan, and Zhou Ping sat at the table, their expressions were a little dignified......

Except for Zhou Ping.

"Sword Saint senior, the strength of that Wind Vein Earth Dragon has exceeded our ability, so ......" Lin Qiye said thoughtfully.

"I'll leave it to me." Zhou Ping nodded slightly, "However, now in this city, I can't feel its breath." ”

"Could they have left here already?" Baili Chubby couldn't help but ask, "After all, it was more than ten days ago that they attacked Team 008, so after such a long time, there is no reason for them to stay in Lintang, right?" ”

Lin Qiye frowned slightly, and thought for a long time......

"No, it's unlikely." Lin Qiye slowly spoke, "[Believers] took the initiative to attack the night watchman team stationed there, this kind of thing has never happened before, which means that if it is not necessary, they will not take the initiative to provoke the local night watch team, let alone a top-ranked team like 008." ”

Could it be that they are not [believers] at all? The words Jiang Er heard were just a façade? ”

"I don't think they're going to lie in front of a bunch of corpses."

"It's also ......"

"If they are indeed [believers] and have taken the initiative to wipe out the local Night's Watch team, then I can only think of one possibility." Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly, "They are going to do a big thing, and in the process of carrying out this big thing, it is possible that the 008 team will discover it and report it to the high-level ......

They didn't allow this to happen, so they didn't hesitate to use the first seat to quietly kill Team 008, as long as they died, no one would be able to report from the top.

From this assumption, many things can be deduced.

For example, there is some limitation in this matter, and it can only be done in Lintang City.

If they had a choice, they could have avoided Lintang City and gone to a city like Anta County where the night watchman's defense was weak, and they would rather stay here under the pressure of Team 008, which meant that they had no choice.

In other words, they are likely to still be in Lintang City. ”

After listening to Lin Qiye's explanation, a look of sudden realization appeared on everyone's faces.

"So where do we start investigating?" Cao Yuan asked.

Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, "Fatty, you go to Jiang Er and ask, has there been anything strange happening in Lintang City recently?" ”

Baili Chubby snorted and walked into the laboratory.

Moments later, he was back in the living room.

Jiang Er said that she couldn't leave her body due to the limitations of her ability, so she didn't know the situation in the city very well, but ...... Recently, earthquakes in Lintang seem to be more frequent. ”

"Earthquake?"

"She said that after the 008 team was killed, there were three earthquakes in more than ten days, although the magnitude was very slight, but earthquakes are too rare in Lintang, so it is a strange thing."

Lin Qiye leaned back in the chair, slowly closed his eyes, and his knuckles unconsciously tapped on the tabletop, thinking intently.

[Believer], Team 008, First Seat, Earthquake ......

"Are they going to do something underground?" Lin Qiye muttered to himself.

If the other party's target is underground, then things will be easier to do, he and An Qingyu's Tianluo net will search the underground, but the problem is that it takes time for An Qingyu's rat tide to form, and now it is daytime, so it is impossible to mobilize nocturnal creatures to explore......

"In this way, Jia Lan and I will go to the Geological Bureau first to check the clues related to the earthquake, Cao Yuan, Fat Fat, you two go to the street to visit, and see if there are any strange things in Lintang City recently in addition to the earthquake." Lin Qiye quickly made a decision.

"Okay."

"Senior Sword Master, do you want to go with us to the Geological Bureau, or do you want to visit with them?" Lin Qiye looked at Zhou Ping.

The corners of Zhou Ping's mouth twitched slightly, "I, I...... I think it's enough for you to go, I'll just wait here, and if I notice any strange aura fluctuations, I'll just take action. ”

“…… Okay, too. ”

After assigning the task, Lin Qiye, Jia Lan, Cao Yuan, and Chubby immediately set off and left in different directions.

……

Lintang City.

Manor.

Ground floor.

Shen Qingzhu removed his hands from the gray altar, his gaze swept around, and gently pressed his hands to his temples, walking a little erratically, pretending to be mentally overdrawn.

"Xiao Shen, take a break."

The ninth seat walked past him, his face was a little pale, and his mental power seemed to be overdrawn a lot.

Shen Qingzhu nodded, and the two walked up the stairs to the courtyard, feeling the long-lost sunshine and breathing a sigh of relief.

For more than two months, in addition to sleeping and eating every day, they went underground to fill the altar with spiritual power, and Shen Qingzhu almost thought that the [believer] had changed his career to become a slave......

Of course, he worked the surface, but it was impossible for him to pour spiritual power into it.

This altar is too weird, although I don't know what will happen after it is fully activated, but it is definitely not a good thing, Shen Qingzhu is less infused with a spiritual power, its activation time will be later, and the probability of producing variables will be greater.

But what puzzled him was that it had been so long since it had passed, and there had been several minor earthquakes during the recovery of the altar, so why hadn't the night watchman team stationed in Lintang reacted yet?

During this period, Shen Qingzhu tried several times to find an opportunity to leave the manor and secretly pass on the information, but first, he didn't know where the night watchman in Lintang was located, and secondly, he had no chance to leave the manor.

For more than two months, their daily necessities were purchased by the seventh and ninth seats, and they would purchase a month's share at a time, even if Shen Qingzhu wanted to leave here, there was no suitable excuse.

In the courtyard, Jiuxi took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one for himself, and handed another one to Shen Qingzhu.

Shen Qingzhu snapped his fingers, and two clusters of flames ignited, lighting the cigarette butts.

The ninth seat took a deep breath and slowly spit out, "The spiritual power of the altar has been poured into almost the past, it is estimated that in two or three days, it will be completely recovered, I have really had enough of this kind of ghost life......"

When Shen Qingzhu heard this, his eyes condensed slightly.

He flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said slowly: "This kind of life is really not lived by people, this is calling us slaves......"

"After all, it's an order from Lord Whisper, so you can't help it even if you're tired." The Ninth shook his head.

"That's right." Shen Qingzhu seemed to remember something, "The food in the manor has been eaten, and there may be another need to purchase." ”

Hearing this, the ninth seat sighed.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qingzhu asked.

"You haven't gone shopping with the woman in the seventh seat, and going out shopping with her is really more tiring than being a slave here." The ninth seat staggered up from the ground and walked towards the house, "I'll call her, while it's still dark, hurry up and buy all the things, tomorrow Lao Tzu really doesn't want to go out." ”

"Are you okay?" Shen Qingzhu stood up, "Your mental power is overdrawn too much, and I feel like I'm about to faint." ”

"Hmm...... It shouldn't be a big problem. The ninth seat waved his hand.

Shen Qingzhu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the back of the ninth seat leaving, as if he was hesitating about something.

In the end, he made up his mind and followed the ninth seat.

He reached out and gently patted the ninth seat on the back.

A feeling of dizziness caused by the lack of oxygen suddenly surged into the ninth seat's heart, and he rolled his eyes and fell straight back.

Shen Qingzhu stretched out his hand to catch him, looked at the pale face that was unconscious, and muttered to himself:

"I said it...... You're fainting. ”
