-Please call the lawful ones and set off immediately!
An Yu packed up his equipment and went down. Jiang Xiao and Fengjian Tianyu were standing next to the sculpture in the hall, waiting for him.
Fengjian Tianyu is a little red-haired man with a pair of big cat-like eyes, who can be remembered at a glance.
Jiang Xiao came up to An Yu and said, "Let me go on a mission with you, and I will definitely prove it to you..."
"I'm sorry, I don't need you for the time being." An Yu walked past him without stopping and paused next to Fengjian Tianyu.
It was Xide's suggestion to kick out this pure nanny and replace her with Chao Wu, who was familiar with the underwater environment and had half control and half output.
Before he could explain, Fengjian Tianyu bowed to him ably, "Next time, I will wait for you."
An Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there will be no next mission, he still nodded and said, "Let's go together if we have the chance."
When leaving the hall, An Yu noticed from the corner of his eye that Fengjian Tianyu had left, but Jiang Xiao was still standing there. Her hanging hair covered her eyes, making her expression unclear.
He vaguely felt that Jiang Xiao was a little depressed, but he was not sure whether this had anything to do with him.
While he was struggling, Qin Zhilu called.
"Did you take the initiative to take the mission?"
"Yes, sir, it happened suddenly. My store manager disappeared in District 84." An Yu paused, covered the phone and whispered: "She is helping me manage my 55 million investment."
"..." Qin Zhilu was silent for a while, "Pay attention to your safety."
"Okay, sir." An Yu asked humbly, "Do you have any other instructions?"
"Be restrained and don't waste the wet nurses." Qin Zhilu said, "By the way, how is my bread? Can I eat it when I go back the day after tomorrow?"
"Uh...the day after tomorrow..."
An Yu quickly calculated - according to the ladder data, the average completion time for tasks of the same level is 1.2-1.4 days. Judging from the configuration of his team, it should be faster than the average speed.
So he vowed: "Don't worry if you can eat it."

An Yu clutched the half loaf of bread that was left uneaten from lunch and stuffed it into his mouth as he boarded the plane.
As soon as he opened the door, he stayed at the door, and the bread almost fell to the ground.
——There is an unknown creature in the cabin.
"You stepped on my hair." The girl with rose-colored seaweed-like hair rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Put your feet up!"
"Sorry..." An Yu quickly took two steps back.
The photo on the file card did not reflect Chaowu's real hair volume at all - when she stood there, she looked like her long, luxuriant hair after being propped up on a thin stick. Even if she didn't move, those hairs seemed to be alive. , following a certain rhythm.
Xide said that Chao Wu was a rebellious underage girl who should not be messed with and should be avoided.
So An Yu skillfully faked a smile, bypassed the hair and went inside.
The wet nurses are having a small meeting.
Zhu Tao sat in the cockpit and introduced his experience, "You must be mentally prepared. Every time you will be at your limit. When he is not looking for trouble, fill up your health as much as possible. Otherwise, when the hit is below 5%, your mentality will definitely be ahead of him." collapse."
Ning sat aside, surrounded by a magnetic field that made people feel peaceful.
He smiled and said: "My commander said that An Yusi's blood can last for a long time. The blood chamber is so thick that even you can't help it a few times."
"Hmm..." Zhu Tao thought for a while, "When I'm at full strength, I can only hold up to him by two and a half."
"Sure enough, what a deep blood warehouse!" Ning said with emotion.
Zhu Tao sighed quietly and turned to look at the boy next to Ning through the rearview mirror, "I didn't expect An to take the initiative to sign up."
The young man sitting next to Ning raised his eyes, then lowered his head in silence.
That was An. By coincidence, he was wearing the same white blouse as An Yu, but his clothes had an olive-colored and light-gold edge along the outline, adding a texture of light and shadow to the whole outfit.
Ning patted the back of An's hand, "After all, he is the one who hollowed you out. An is very curious. No one in the whole spire wants to challenge him."
Zhu Tao seemed to have gotten used to An's silence, and said with a smile: "I estimate that An can withstand him three times."
Ann raised her head again.
Ning said, "Give it a try, four times is almost the same."
"Is our gap that big?" Zhu Tao curled his lips, "Of course, if you include damage reduction, just pretend I didn't say anything."
He then smiled and rolled his eyes, "It doesn't matter, anyway, in terms of popularity and overall strength, I am still the number one wet nurse in the Spire."
An remained silent, his white hair hidden under his hood. He chewed gum, looked past An Yu at the door, and blew a huge bubble expressionlessly.
An Yu greeted them and sat down opposite Ning.
Xide was right. Ning's gentle aura would make people relax unconsciously, and they would be willing to get close even if they were afraid of others.
"Have you read the information?" Zhu Tao greeted: "I heard that the military is still digging at the bottom of the prayer lake in Area 84. Thousands of female corpses have been dug up, and the ground is almost dug through."
An Yu paused, "Female corpse?"
The previous case report only mentioned the missing person, without specifying the gender.
"Yeah." Zhu Tao's voice was deep.
"All were young women...with babies in their bellies."

Unlike Area 53, Area 84 does not experience time and space confusion.
The plane landed smoothly and all communication equipment was normal. The existence of popular religions makes the living standard here much better than that in Area 53. Most of the people coming and going are well-dressed, and there are many small restaurants open on the street. A little girl holding half a bag of flour and rubbing it against her mother's legs walked away. From afar, his eyes never moved away from An Yu and his group.
Zhu Tao muttered to Chao Wu, "Your hair is too eye-catching, can't you cut it?"
"The more they are cut, the longer they get. I am also very desperate." Chaowu clenched her fists, "Originally, I wanted to tie them up, but the chief was sleeping, so I didn't have the heart to call her. There have been more of them recently, and I can't reach them at all. "
"By the way, how was this mission?"
"I'm okay, sir. I'm exhausted. Chaos has increased dramatically this year. I can feel the tide changing."
Chao Wu said and looked around, "It's strange that the Koi God Cult is so popular. Thousands of female corpses were dug out from the bottom of the praying lake, but the people here don't have any panic."
Zhu Tao whispered, "Maybe the news has been blocked. The fact that the missing persons were all young girls did not appear in any reports. Even we only found out after we boarded the plane. By the way, An Yu didn't inform us in advance. Did you receive the information?"
An Yu paused slightly for a long time before saying "hmm".
An Yu hasn't spoken since he stepped into Area 84.
The golden eyes seemed calm, but they seemed to be gradually becoming hollow and deep, and the tense muscles were visible on the arms hanging by his sides.
Thanks to Jiang Xiao's brutal training, now he only needs to stretch his arms a little, and the lines of his arms will be obvious.
He is patient.
"Can't you smell or hear?"
Everyone was stunned, "What?"
Ning suddenly looked at An in surprise, "Did you hear it too?"
An didn't say a word, just stretched out her hand and grabbed his wrist, pulling him closer to her. He immediately put his arm around An's shoulder and patted An Yu, and said to An Yu: "He is easily disturbed mentally, so he also heard a little bit of the sound you mentioned. What is that?"
"A kind of non-stop whispering. Very soft, but very noisy, making people... upset." An Yu said, looking up.
——The sky in District 84 is blue, without a trace of dirt or haze.
The irritating whispers seemed to be coming from a high and empty place, but they also seemed to be stepped on, and the sense of space was very confusing.
Not only that, the smell in the air almost made him vomit.
An Yu untied the spare bandage wrapped around his right wrist and wrapped it more tightly around it.
In the glass showcase, the golden eyes became brighter and brighter. Under the bright sunlight of District 84, a faint red line appeared in the outer circle of the pupils.
The Prayer Lake is in the center of Area 84, but no residents are allowed to enter at this moment. The large area is tightly sealed off by a security fence several meters high, and there are layers of soldiers guarding the outside.
The closer he got there, the thicker the red color in the outer circle of An Yu's pupils. The whispers and the fishy smell were repeatedly tearing at his nerves, which was tantamount to being tortured.
After revealing their identities to the soldiers, the tight cordon was opened to them.
The moment they stepped in, everyone was stunned.
"What a beautiful lake..." Zhu Tao sighed with emotion.
It was a very clear and shallow lake. The blue sky and white clouds were reflected on the lake. A gentle breeze passed by. The sunlight reflected countless jumping points and lines on the lake. The light and shadow seemed to cut the space into several small worlds. Each world was full of life. Dazzlingly clear.
There are no koi in the prayer pond of the Koi God Sect. It has no sculptures or decorations. It is a clean lake, and even the coins scattered at the bottom of the lake are barely discernible.
However, although there were obviously fences several meters high surrounding it, those fences were not reflected in the lake.
In the lake, under the blue sky and white clouds, is a mirror image of the entire city.
Chao Wu asked: "Where are the thousands of female corpses you dug up? Our people said they smelled a fishy stench, but there is nothing here."
Zhu Tao sniffed, "We've already reached the hiding place, shouldn't we still be able to smell it? Is my nose broken?"
The soldier looked hesitant and said, "No, technically speaking, you really shouldn't smell anything."
"Why?" Zhu Tao frowned and crushed the cloth under his feet, "Why are you spreading this stuff on the ground?"
Inside the cordon and outside the lakeside, the ground was covered with silver shade cloth.
"The expression of the intelligence is rather vague. The fact is that we did see thousands of female corpses, but we did not dig them up." The soldier said and motioned to his men. The soldiers standing in a circle along the cordon bent down at the same time and uncovered the Covering cloth on the ground.
——Under the mirror-like surface, countless naked female corpses are laid out in layers.
The corpse has been completely scaled from the chest down, with an orange-gold translucent dorsal fin arched on its back. The lower body is folded into a fish tail, and at the end is a scissor-like tail fin spread out. The abdomen was round and swollen, and something seemed to be moving inside.
Their faces were bruised and hideous, and only the bulging whites of their eyes remained.
Chao Wu froze, and after a long time he said in a trembling voice: "It is obviously difficult for goldfish to infect people... I have never seen so many goldfish aberrants."
Not only that.
Under the round belly of each female goldfish corpse - where the pubic bone of an ordinary human female would be - there was an eye.
That eye was just like a normal human eye, as if it was staring at people through the earth.
The soldier said solemnly: "In the past few months, a total of 1,204 cases of missing girls have been reported in District 84 and surrounding Baicheng. After counting, there are a total of 1,200 false images here. We are still investigating the identities of the remaining 4 people. Soon There will be results."
