The simple map drawn by the old man in the supermarket is very abstract and difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Fortunately, the nearby terrain was very simple and there was only one road. Xu Cheng quickly found Hot Spring Mountain by guessing.
Cycling along the winding mountain road to halfway up the mountain, I saw the abandoned hot spring village.
Entering through the rusty gate, there is a fountain square covered with weeds, surrounded by lush forests, with many ruined buildings scattered among them, harmoniously integrated with nature.
Xu Cheng was riding around the square and found some traces of human movement on the ground. He was about to follow the footprints when a voice sounded from behind.
"Are you new?"
Xu Cheng turned around and saw a man walking out of the weeds half as tall as a man. He had an ordinary appearance but possessed a superb and capable temperament.
This should be the peripheral person who gave the death penalty. He looked at Xu Cheng with vigilant eyes and said the secret code for the connection: "What contribution did the country make in World War II?"
Xu Cheng said the answer prompted by the manager: "It takes a little effort."
The nipple was successful...oh no, the joint was probably successful.
The man put away the vigilance in his eyes and said hello: "Come with me."
The man led Xu Cheng through the hot spring village, which was almost swallowed up by the forest, and came to a cement road extending into the forest. A car was parked on the roadside.
He got into the driver's seat and called Xu Cheng to get in the car: "Come on."
Xu Cheng asked: "What should I do with the new car I just bought?"
The man glanced at the bicycle in his hand: "Leave it as you like. Will someone steal your bicycle in the wilderness?"
That's not necessarily the case.
Xu Cheng looked around and finally locked the bicycle under a nearby tree and pulled a few handfuls of grass to cover it.
The man looked at this scene with a speechless expression. He had picked up and dropped off killers hundreds of times here, both new and old. This was the first time he saw someone paying so much attention to a bicycle.
Are you poor bro?
After hiding the bicycle, Xu Cheng sat on the passenger seat. The man started the car and drove him towards the forest.
Along the way, Xu Cheng took advantage of his status as a newcomer and tentatively asked the man some questions.
The man seemed to have seen a lot of newbies like Xu Cheng, and he knew everything.
Although this is the home base of the Japanese branch of the Dead, they have other strongholds all over Japan.
Killers are also trained in different places, and many new killers are only invited here during the annual meeting.
As for why a joint password is set up, it is because many killers often change their faces and rarely reveal their true colors.
In order to prevent irrelevant people or police from sneaking in, password verification is required.
At the end of the path was a tunnel. After entering the end of the tunnel, the man asked Xu Cheng to get off the car, and he had to go back to pick up the others.
Xu Cheng got out of the car. His eagle eye talent allowed him to see clearly the environment in the tunnel. There was a downward step at the end.
He walked down the steps and found a dark corridor inside. The walls and ground were a little damp and covered with moss. He didn't know whether this was an air raid shelter or an underground army fortress that had been transformed into a lair by the deceased.
After walking for about two minutes, the front suddenly opened up, and an empty underground space appeared in front of him.
Noisy waves came towards him, and a large number of shaking figures broke into his field of vision.
"Hey, newcomer!"
A bearded man guarding the door on the left threw a plastic sign over: "Play as you like, but don't get drunk. The Heart Stone Test will start in the afternoon. If you miss it, you will have to wait until next year."
Xu Cheng caught the plastic sign with the number 59 written on it. He put the plastic sign away and walked into the crowd.
This is not so much an underground bomb shelter as a huge entertainment venue.
There is a boxing ring where bullies fight each other, gambling tables where gamblers linger, bars, billiards, indoor basketball and slot machines, and all the common entertainment.
Xu Cheng found that there were at least hundreds of killers gathered here, and this was just the Japanese branch.
In the past, I had no idea about the Order of the Dead, but now I finally realized that this organization is a bit big.
After walking around the crowd twice, he finally saw a familiar figure and quickly approached him.
Qiu Gongyue was walking back to her room. Although the environment was a bit crowded, the killers around her subconsciously avoided her when they saw her, as if they were avoiding the god of plague.
The Moon Clan, which was once glorious and prominent among the people who gave the dead, is now scorned by the people who give it to the dead. Except for her best friend Rika Ito, no one who knows Yue Akimiya dares to have anything to do with her, the only descendant of the Moon Clan, for fear that implicated.
At this moment, Qiu Gongyue keenly felt that there was movement behind her.
She subconsciously raised her healed right hand to block the sneak attack from behind.
Snapped!
Xu Cheng's hand that was about to slap her shoulder was blocked.
Qiu Gongyue turned around and saw Xu Cheng, slightly startled.
At this moment, my heart, which was filled with shadows because everyone avoided it, felt bright for a moment.
She resisted the upturned corners of her mouth and said with a cold face: "Don't touch me."
Xu Cheng looked at her healed right hand, dissatisfied: "After all, we are good teammates fighting side by side. When you see me, can't you give me a smile?"
Qiu Gongyue slapped his hand away: "Who is your good teammate?"
That's right, you, a woman who likes to beat up your teammates, are not a good teammate at all.
Xu Cheng didn't care about Qiu Gongyue's coldness. This woman had always had this aunt face.
He now doesn't understand the internal situation of the Death-giver, and is in urgent need of an experienced senior to communicate with him.
The killers around were whispering, and it was hard to believe that someone dared to talk to Qiu Gongyue.
Even if she is a newcomer, hasn't anyone warned her not to have anything to do with this woman?
"I didn't disturb you, did I?"
A gentle voice suddenly sounded. Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue followed the voice and saw Shinji Tsugumo standing not far away.
There were two people following Shinji Tsugumo, with bangs covering his face and a killer look.
The other one was tall and majestic, with muscles all over his body, like a bear.
"Jinyun-san, good morning."
"Jin Yunsang, when did you come back from abroad?"
"Sir Shinji, long time no see."
The surrounding killers suddenly became enthusiastic and greeted Shinji Tsugumo one after another.
With a gentle smile on his face, Jinyun Shinji responded one by one. Finally, he looked at Xu Cheng again and said politely: "You are the new member of the New Moon Belt, right? I have heard of you. You have completed your mission beautifully. Not interested in talking to me in detail?”
Xu Cheng did not answer, but turned to Qiu Gongyue and said, "Who is this?"
With such a pretentious and condescending attitude on the stage, could he be the illegitimate son of the leader who gave the dead?
Before Akimiya Yue could answer, the bear-like man standing behind Jinyun Shinji immediately shouted angrily: "How dare you, a mere newcomer, to be so rude. Why don't you apologize to Lord Jinyun now?"
Xu Cheng: "..."
Are you acting in a big river drama?
It’s the 21st century, how can there still be people like this?
"whee!"
Another voice suddenly sounded. It was the voice of a woman who felt very sexy just by hearing the voice. It was right next to Xu Cheng's ear, making his ears itch.
"Xinyue, is this the new guy you like? It turns out you are so good at it."
