"Well... we don't know which adult gave the order, we just acted according to the order..."
Yin Ji forcibly suppressed the emotions in his heart, thought for a moment, and then answered.
In fact, it's not that he really didn't know who gave the order. After all, when Chen Jin talked to him on the phone at that time, he clearly mentioned Qing Ling's name.
The reason for pretending to be confused is to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Sometimes knowing more is not a good thing.
"Yes, after all, you are just action personnel... um... you are all enhancers? Not bad, not bad..."
The woman said indifferently, while squinting her eyes and looking at the people in front of her.
In fact, there is no difference in appearance between enhancers and ordinary people. At best, the muscle lines on the body will be more obvious.
But this kind of performance is simply not enough evidence to distinguish enhancers from ordinary people. To truly distinguish them, a prerequisite must be met.
That is, the observer himself must be an enhancer, and he must be a strengthener of the same type.
For example, when two people with physical enhancement system abilities are close to each other, a mysterious feeling will be generated in their brains, somewhat similar to a sixth sense.
This feeling itself cannot be explained, but it is very clear to the observer himself.
However, enhancers of different systems cannot sense each other, just like the physical enhancement system cannot sense the existence of the brain enhancement system.
So when the woman pointed out the identity of the enhancers of the Dark Assassination Team, she also proved her identity invisibly.
"Yes, we are all Enhancers. I wonder what your level is in the organization?"
The members of the Dark Thorn team looked at each other, and finally Yin Ji spoke.
"Level C+, as for what I do, you don't need to know."
The woman said lightly, her voice was not loud, but it was full of intimidation in an instant.
As the saying goes, the higher the official level, the more powerful the person is. This is especially true in a strictly hierarchical organization.
For low-level personnel to seek information from high-level personnel is basically the same as seeking death.
C-level personnel usually hold the position of director of research stations within the organization. For example, Ren Zening, who was scared crazy before, and Li Zhihao, who escaped from Research Station 7, are all C-level personnel within T organization.
The C+ level, as the name suggests, is higher than the C level. They are usually highly sophisticated technical talents who specialize in a certain project within the organization.
They are often under the direct jurisdiction of B-level personnel, but their status is the same as that of B-level personnel.
Guren and Qingling are both B-level, so the gray-haired woman can call them by their names without adding the suffix "sir".
Of course, the information on the new project is in the hands of higher-level members. D+-level personnel like Yin Ji have no way of knowing it. Therefore, when the woman reported her identity, the assassination team could only believe it with suspicion.
Seeing that no one was making any next move, the woman blinked, turned around and closed the wooden door again.
"What are you doing standing here? Let's go..."
The sound of the soles of the shoes rubbing against the sand sounded again. The woman who closed the wooden door walked slowly towards the stairs, and at the same time urged her a little impatiently.
"W-where?"
The members of the Backstabbing Team had dull expressions and did not react for a moment.
"Nonsense, didn't the organization send you here to investigate? I'll take you to meet the mission target, otherwise what can you do if you stay here to investigate..."
After saying that, the gray-haired woman rolled her eyes and walked down the stairs.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The woman seems to be very adaptable to the dark environment underground. There is no lighting tool in her hand, but she is able to move freely.
"Boss..."
Seeing the woman disappearing at the top of the stairs, Wu Qi looked at Yin Ji, who was still motionless, and called out tentatively.
"Follow up."
A gloomy expression slowly replaced the confusion on his face. Yin Ji whispered and followed him.
Seeing Yin Ji's order, Mao Jiarui behind him shrugged at Wu Qi and put the Barrett in his hand back on his back.
"Watch what I do, just listen to Brother Yin..."
In this way, the three members of the Dark Thorn team followed the gray-haired woman out of the second floor below and walked along the stairs toward the deeper darkness.
The corridor leading below is no different from the previous one. There is also no gentle platform. It is like leading to the deepest part of hell, as if it will never end.
After the few people walked for nearly twenty minutes, a faint light finally came from the darkness ahead.
But it's not a soft white or warm yellow, but a faint green.
It's a bit like the color of a will-o'-the-wisp.
The four of them kept moving forward. When the light at the end expanded to the size of a human head, the gray-haired woman suddenly stopped moving forward and spoke without looking back.
"The following is the target of your investigation this time. Spray the insulating agent here. Try to stay quiet and don't make any noise. Oh, and by the way, turn off your flashlight."
After a few simple explanations, the gray-haired woman turned her head and looked quietly at the backstabbing team behind her.
The light in Mao Jiarui's hand went out, and Yin Ji's sharp reply came from the corridor.
"We had already sprayed the insulating agent before entering the town. I think it should still be effective now."
"Oh, not bad, pretty good."
The gray-haired woman raised her eyebrows, seemingly satisfied with the preparations made by the Dark Assassination Team.
Several people continued to move down the stairs. As the green light below gradually expanded, the surrounding environment became rougher. There were no buildings or stairs under their feet, just a passage diagonally downwards.
At the end of the passage is a low earth-rock cave that looks very narrow from the outside and can only accommodate one person bending down to pass through.
The gray-haired woman also stood still in front of the cave. She turned her head and glanced at the three people behind her, as if to confirm that the other party was following her. Then she lowered her head and bent down, and quickly got into the cave with a faint green light. In the cave.
Because the gray-haired woman had previously told her to keep as quiet as possible, Yin Ji did not say anything to his team members. He just silently clenched the steel knife in his hand, then stretched out his tongue and gently touched the side of the blade. licked.
Dots of red light like sparks appeared on the man's body surface again, and silently, Yin Ji once again stabilized the opening state of his first-level ability.
Seeing Yin Ji's reaction, Mao Jiarui and Weapon behind him understood and drew their weapons one after another, getting ready to deal with it.
The three of them bowed down and entered the earth and stone cave one after another.
When he first entered the cave, the surrounding earth and rock walls were extremely narrow. Except for the skinny Yin Ji, who could pass through safely, the two people behind him were bumped to varying degrees.
But within two steps, this narrowness was quickly widened, like an inverted gourd mouth. From the outside, it seemed like there wasn't much space, but the further you went in, the more spacious the space inside was.
The faint green light that previously emitted from the cave entrance came from a kind of mucus on the cave wall. This mucus seemed to contain a large amount of fluorescent substances and could emit a faint green light in the dark.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Although the light was not strong, the mucus in the cave wall was overwhelming in quantity. When gathered together, it really provided good lighting for a few people.
"Substances that can emit fluorescence autonomously..."
Wu Qi looked at everything in the cave vigilantly, and soon noticed the fluorescent green mucus.
Driven by curiosity, the young man involuntarily slowed down.
All of this was seen by Mao Zi who was walking behind. He took out his right hand and gently patted the back of Wu Qi's head. Then he leaned close to his ear and spoke in a voice that only Wu Qi could hear. warned.
"Don't touch those things, they might be poisonous..."
These fluorescent substances on the cave walls are indeed somewhat magical, but it is obvious that they are not the purpose of the Dark Assassination Team here.
Before completing the task, being distracted by things other than the task may lead to a very fatal hidden danger.
"Okay Brother Mao, I understand."
Of course, Wu Qi was just curious about the things on the cave wall and had no real intention to reach out and touch them. After replying in a low voice, he continued to walk forward.
As a few people went deeper, the surrounding cave walls began to widen further, turning from a passage into a large underground space.
The amount of green fluorescent mucus on the wall also increased further, almost covering the surrounding walls. In some places where the mucus was thick, it even dripped down from the wall, giving people a disgusting and weird feeling. a feeling of.
"What is this slime on the side?"
Yin Ji, who was walking at the front, twitched his nose as if he smelled something different in the air, and cautiously took off the gas mask hanging on his waist.
While speaking, he seemed to be preparing to put the mask on his face.
"It's just a secretion used for lighting. Don't worry, although the smell is a little strange, it's not poisonous."
The gray-haired woman didn't stop walking and spoke calmly.
As she spoke, the woman's fingers gently slid over the fluorescent mucus beside her and drew a little.
"But the quality seems to be poor. It may be due to the recent shortage of rations. We need to start solving it..."
Seeing that the woman came into contact with the green fluorescent secretions without any care, the Dark Assassination team walking behind secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the surrounding environment looked a little disgusting, as long as it was not poisonous, they could bear it for a while. It's over.
They don't live here permanently anyway.
After walking for about twenty minutes, the surrounding green light gradually dimmed, and a strange wall appeared in front of the four of them, at the end of the earth and stone space.
The color of this wall is slightly darker than the surrounding normal earth and stone cave walls, but the rough surface is no different from those cave walls stained with green mucus.
It's just that it's covered with large and small bumps, each of varying size.
The big one can be bigger than a human head, while the small one can be smaller than a fingernail.
These lumpy protrusions are clustered around each other, densely and chaotically arranged on the "wall", making it difficult for people to feel beautiful.
But these are not the strange points. What makes the three people of the Dark Assassin team strange is that this unique-looking wall is actually squirming very regularly.
It's just like the waves on the lake, but it's not as sparkling, but undulating very slowly.
"This is……"
Seeing the gray-haired girl stop in front of the wall, Yin Ji asked half confused and half wary.
"She is the target of your investigation for this mission, the mutated creature - Shield Claw Digu..."
