Lu Ning couldn't hear what Fabio was shouting, but she could guess it. The door was only so big, and with dozens of people blocked in there, no one could get out. The three people whose bodies had begun to become metal were even mixed in with the crowd, which was actually more dangerous.
She pointed upward.
This cave was originally temporarily created for this plan. As Lu Ning expected, the disguised painting corridor was actually made by elongating the horizontal sense of space. The real location was actually at the place where the mission was received. below.
And the consequences of such an explosion in such a temporary location can only be collapse.
"Is it going to collapse?" Fabio showed a horrified expression, and then he was dragged into another room by Lu Ning as soon as his elbows tightened.
The structure of the hall is empty, which is the hardest hit area of collapse, while the transcription room is not large, so it is no problem as a support structure. Lu Ning was looking for a room that had not been contaminated by magic books. After entering the room, he immediately pushed a table over and signaled Fabio to block the door. He then collected the results copied here and the magic book box. , try to put it on your body.
Fabio blocked the door with a mournful look on his face. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that this would have no effect on the monsters outside. However, at this moment, a loud collapse sound came from outside. Judging from the sound alone, nearly half of the The hall probably collapsed.
Lu Ning rubbed her ears. It was okay. At least she could hear something, but she still had tinnitus.
"Fabio! Stay away from the door!" She said as she threw a remaining refining formation over. Fabio had seen the horror of this thing and hurriedly hid aside.
The collapse created a brief silence, perhaps a few seconds.
Immediately afterwards, someone began to climb up along the collapsed building structure. At this moment, someone yelled again, pushed the person next to him aside, covered his bloody shoulder, stared at the person and shouted: "He! He has grown thorns! He is going to become a monster!"
He didn't notice that the people next to him moved away from him, and someone behind him even raised his hand, rolled up a wind cone and aimed it at the back of his head.

"Jaze, something seems to have happened. That banging sound was really loud." The waitress with dragon blood quietly returned to the hot and sour cocktail and whispered to the person behind the bar.
"What's up?"
"A building where workers often gathered collapsed. I smelled a very disgusting smell in the air, like an alien creature."
"The magic book is polluted." Jaze said in an affirmative sentence, "Help me greet the guests. Although something may happen in the Opal District, if it gets too big, I'm afraid I will be held accountable by Percival."
"I know, but I don't know how to mix it..."
"Just serve normal alcoholic drinks. If there are problems, let Kulu solve them. If he dares to cause trouble, let him sleep until dawn."
"okay!"
After the instruction, Jaze wiped his hands, casually unbuttoned the collar of his uniform, and walked out the door.
"Jaze! Where are you going?" A drunken drinker raised his glass.
"Calm down the fight and do some landfill work." Jaze said with a smile.
"That doesn't sound like a bartender's job!"
"Who says it isn't?"
The moment she walked out of the door, she disappeared into the night.
At this time, there was no one at the door of the meeting place. The members of the thieves group who had been here had long since fled. The last three people who were left to confirm the situation also saw the opportunity and quickly returned to the ground without being blocked by the crowd and explosion. .
The three of them each pulled off their black robes and returned to their original appearance. When they were about to leave, the floor shook and half of the house behind them collapsed into the ground.
"Oh, it's over." One person glanced with some gloating, "Everyone is dead. Did the mission fail?"
"The collapse won't kill the magicians, and they can climb out from there. The problem is that the movement is bigger than we thought... It's terrible!" The man who spoke was the man with the sarcoma on the right side of his neck.
"I think you also know that it's terrible. With such a big movement, the guards will come over soon. If they find the magic book is contaminated, they will definitely report it. After the people sent by the parliament come, no one can leave."
With a clear and leisurely voice, Jaze walked out of the night, wearing a pair of black gloves that fit the shape of his hands.
"Jaze, good evening."
"Good evening, Sicilian, you should have had a glass of wine at the bar and chatted about your extraordinary knowledge, instead of plotting a disgusting conspiracy here." Jaze still had his usual smile.
"Who is this woman? Why are you here?" A companion stared at her fiercely, and black and gray particles appeared in his hand.
"Jaze, let's leave now. It's up to you how to deal with this place." Sicilian quickly stopped his companion and said in a good voice, "We have known each other for so long, and we also understand the rules of the Opal District. Everyone just turn a blind eye. Just close one eye and it will pass. I will go drinking again tomorrow."
"I thought so too, but you three just ran out of it." Jaze shook his head with regret, "I have to make sure that you three are not targets."
"How to confirm?"
"What nonsense are you talking to her about? How else can we deal with it? Charge!"
Sicilian's companion was obviously not that patient. Due to the cognitive gap and the current environment, he obviously misunderstood the meaning of "processing", so he raised his hand and drew a black star.
"No! Jaze! You have something to say!" Sicilian couldn't stop him in time and immediately stretched out his hand to Jaze.
"It doesn't matter. No one has ever counted the number of homeless people in Opal District. No one will care about two more homeless people."

Lu Ning sat quietly in the room, while Fabio circled back and forth anxiously. The sounds outside gradually became quieter, but he didn't know what happened. He couldn't calm down.
"Lillian, open the door."
A voice came in, and Lu Ning nodded to Fabio. Fabio hurriedly opened the door and was surprised to find that most of the cave outside had been filled with stones. More than forty shrinking magicians stood side by side. On a cleared floor, the bartender who was known to everyone in the Opal District was standing on a huge stone looking over here.
"Jaze, you came here first?"
"Huh? I thought you just wanted to attract me here."
"Uh... what I want to attract is the guards. As long as the Magic Council sends people here, won't this matter be solved?" Lu Ning shrugged.
"No matter how fast they move, they can't stop the people who want to run. You should be lucky that I'm only a few blocks away from here."
"I don't know how powerful you are, so I'm sorry for dragging you into this."
"I remember not long ago I just said I was super strong."
"..." Lu Ning couldn't speak to her.
When the two of them walked out of the room, they found that they could no longer see the monsters in the mutated rooms, and they didn't know whether they were buried under rocks or processed.
"The guards are coming soon." Jaze looked up and said, "We have to leave too, otherwise it will be very troublesome to deal with them..."
"What to do with these people?" Fabio asked tremblingly.
"They can't leave. Because of the transcription, everyone needs to make a mental test, otherwise it will be a matter of time before they turn into monsters." Lu Ning said.
These words were heard by the magicians, and they all showed panic expressions. The three who had followed Lu Ning immediately squeezed out of the crowd and shouted: "We didn't copy! We can leave!"
"But you are mixed in with the crowd, and there have been several infected people mixed in with the crowd before. I have no way to judge whether your condition is safe." Jaze shrugged, "So it is best to stay here and undergo inspection by the guards. good."
The expressions of the three people immediately turned into sad expressions.
"I can't help it. Who told you to touch a taboo? If you can return to normal life after this time, stay away from this kind of weird work in the future."
Jaze grinned, his pupils immediately turned dark purple, and the eyes of the dozens of magicians suddenly became distracted, and they all stood there stupidly. Of course, Lu Ning and Fabio, who were behind her, couldn't see Jaze's changes. When she turned around, her eyes returned to normal.
"As for you two, since you can avoid it in advance and have taken precautions, please leave with me. Maybe you need something to calm down."
"Yes." Lu Ning nodded and climbed up. Fabio quickly followed behind, and the three of them returned to the top along the ground that collapsed into a slope. A wide passage has been opened there. Lu Ning decided to ignore the smooth edges of the gravel and bricks, which were half-cut by machine polishing. Since Jaze could suppress such pollution by himself, it was not surprising to open a passage.
The three of them left, and the guards behind them had already arrived.
"Jaze, have you seen anyone who escaped early?" Lu Ning asked on the way back.
"Well, so we have to ask first, the person you asked me that day."
She turned into a small alley, and after a while, she led out a stiff-moving man. His black robe had been removed. Lu Ning recognized that this was the liaison person of the Twilight Thieves Group. It's just that his dazed expression no longer had the disturbing feeling he had two days ago.
Jaze brought people back through the back door to bring hot and sour cocktails. Kuru was sitting in the kitchen processing the fried food. When they saw Jaze, they smiled honestly: "Have they all been processed?"
"It's over there, but I still have to ask, Kulu, is there any empty wine cellar?"
"have."
Kuru stood up, took down a bunch of keys from the wall, opened the entrance to an underground passage, took off a cold light lamp and led several people over, except for Fabio who was left on top to have a glass of wine to rest.
"Lillian, you already knew there was a problem, right?"
"Yes, I have encountered a similar situation before, related to... that."
"You have a lot of stuff on your body." Jaze glanced at her, "I didn't ask you what exactly you got, but since you know this, you should take care of it yourself."
"The Magic Council should take action tomorrow, just like before. After all, another incident has happened. They must clean up the internal problems."
"That's not something we can decide. Relax, at least nothing happened in Opal District tonight." Jaze shrugged.
"A lot of people died, is it okay?" Lu Ning wondered.
"Evarang... As long as nothing happens to the students, it's no problem." Kuru said a little dull, "After all, this place was established as a school, and its core is to cultivate young and outstanding talents, but those who have left the field of study , Evaron believes that it is normal for magicians to die from various emergencies while traveling."
"Yeah."
"After all, mages who have left school are adults, and they should be responsible for their own choices." Jaze seemed to agree.
"arrive."
Kulu found one with the number four written on it among a row of wooden doors. He picked out the corresponding key and opened it. The inside was very clean. Hanging a lamp on the wall could illuminate the whole room. There were many empty large wooden barrels inside, which were high in height. Nearly two meters, as big as three or four people hugging each other. There were some small ones in the corner. Jaze pulled one over and used it as a seat. After Lu Ning and Kulu stood still, he lightly snapped his fingers. The man's eyes closed and he suddenly shuddered.
"Good evening, Sicilien." Jaze smiled and waved his hand.
"Jaze..." Sicilian glanced at her with some fear, his eyes swept over Lu Ning and Kulu, and then back to her, "My two...companions..."
"Are you still worried about your companions? What a touching friendship. It's a pity that their ending is much worse than yours. This is a special treatment for an old friend." Jaze put down his hand, "If you can clearly understand this A little, and then it would be best to answer the questions honestly! After all, I’m not very good at interrogating, and I don’t want to kill you.”
"...Jaze, I know your details."
"The part you thought you understood, even Percival let me go."
"That old guy always believes that people's hearts tend to be kind, and that's why this city has given many people like us living space. Hehehehe, Jaze, but I definitely don't believe that you don't have any evil thoughts in your heart. After all, even people like me Bad people are not qualified to learn black magic."
Lu Ning could tell that Sicilian expected these words to shock Kuru and herself, but neither of them gave him any reaction.
"Look, no one cares about what you said." Jaze smiled.
The expression on Sicilian's face twitched, and he yelled at Kuru and Lu Ning: "Don't you two know anything about black magic? Do you know that this woman is learning an absolute taboo spell? Are you dating her? The deeper you go, sooner or later you will be beaten by her——"
"I know." Kulu touched his head, choking Sicilian's words in his throat, and even continued, "She told me the first day I picked her up, and all the staff here I know."
Lu Ning felt that Sicilian's expression was about to collapse.
"But we made her as a friend, not with any black magic. And it's hard to find a better bartender than her. I don't think that's a big deal, not to mention that Percival nodded."
"You...can't understand..." Sicilian tried to find something to say, but Jaze's voice brought his attention back.
"I think the learned gentleman you used to look like is more suitable for conversation. Is that what you pretended to be?"
"Disguise is a compulsory course for us, what? Are you disappointed?"
"No - you have been using this identity for many years, right? I think compared with your own personality, it might be easier to communicate with that personality." The corner of Jaze's mouth curved in an arc, and she stretched out her hand, obviously without any The magic light flickered, but Sicilian tried to retreat in horror, but was tripped by a shadow and sat directly on the ground.
"Even if he is a heinous guy, I am willing to give him a chance to change his ways. Am I a good person?" Jaze was still sitting on the wine barrel, but a black hand came out of her hand and buttoned it. On Sicilian's head.
"no no……"
"Character cleansing."
