Why did Zhao Lan become a figure on the boat?
Shen Yan was a little surprised. What is the pattern? This has always been a mystery.
Maybe I can find something out of Zhao Lan.
Shen Yan's soul hand reached out to Zhao Lan's portrait on the sea.
Mercenary City, Shangcheng District, Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group.
Zhao Lan was holding the sacred box, tossing and turning on the bed: "With the blessing of our ancestors, the Linyuan ceremony will be successful tonight."
Although he said so, he had no confidence at all.
"Even...even unknown guidance gives me a little hope."
Just as he was muttering, suddenly, his eyes were in a trance.
On the sea, Zhao Lan stood on the boat with his mouth wide open. The boat was sailing calmly towards the middle of the sea.
Gulu, Zhao Lan couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, he really just... just talked casually.
Could it be...could his nonsense really be noticed by some unknown entity?
Sure enough, what the old people in the group said is true. Don't try to contact the unknown, or even fantasize about them.
They are mysterious, powerful, and terrifying that cannot be described by common sense. Perhaps it is just the imagination of the soul that has opened a bridge connecting them and is perceived by them.
They are existences that cannot be understood, so no one can tell what will happen if you peek at them and touch them. However, from the records in past poems, these unknowns are not kind beings. It may be more accurate to describe them as evil. suitable.
Shen Yan was also observing Zhao Lan. When it was just a "portrait", it was just a "portrait", but after being touched by him with his soul hand, Zhao Lan held a sacred box in his arms.
Is it because in reality, Zhao Lan happened to be holding this box in his hand, so he was projected in together?
Shen Yan came to another possible conclusion.
At this time, Zhao Lan's boat had reached the middle of the sea.
If Zhao Lan said he wasn't afraid, it would definitely be impossible. The current situation was too weird.
This is an... unknown place.
In just a split second, he reached an unknown place. It was amazing.
Zhao Lan did not dare to make any move. He was trying hard to analyze his current situation, but no matter how he analyzed it, he could not imagine any other possibility except that he encountered a mysterious incident.
I stayed in the silent silence for a long time, and nothing happened.
Zhao Lan was really itching from skin grinding, so he had to do something.
He slung the sacristy on his back and tested the sea water with his hands.
It was real sea water, and it felt exactly the same. Of course, it might have been because it was so real that it completely deceived his soul.
If you just stay on the sea like this, the only outcome is to die of thirst or starvation.
Zhao Lan gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to row in the sea. He wanted to row the boat to the mountain in front. Anyway, even if he encountered the unknown, he couldn't starve to death for no reason. Even if it was a fatal adventure, as a mercenary , you have to choose to die with more passion.
It has to be said that the young man holding a long spear and a strong bow on a white horse has an indescribable high-spirited spirit, just like Shen Yan's era. The older a person gets, the more wisdom and communication skills he gets after entering the society. But here At the same time, I also lost
When I was young, I was reckless, impulsive and full of passion.
Even if a young man is drinking ice and his body is cold, it is difficult to cool down his warm blood.
Shen Yan's mouth twitched when he saw it. Could this guy really row the boat up the mountain?
This is not okay.
But Shen Yan was not in a hurry. When Zhao Lan's boat got really close to the mountain, he could push the other party's boat back.
He happened to take the opportunity to do some research through Zhao Lan.
Zhao Lan was sweating profusely as he rowed. It seemed that all the worries and fears he had at the beginning had disappeared, and all that was left in his mind was that the Dead Sea was too oppressive and he had to die on the mountain.
Shen Yan observed for a while and found that it seemed that the mountain was not far away from the middle of the sea, visible to the naked eye, but no matter how hard Zhao Lan rowed, he could not get closer.
Another unexplainable phenomenon.
But all the inexplicables are reasonable here.
Shen Yan watched for a while longer, then ignored the dumbfounded young man, and then used his soul hand to touch the projections of the bearded Cheng Tongaxe and Gao Wei.
Cheng Tongaxe and Gao Wei have not been paid attention to by the unknown for nine consecutive days.
The feeling of loss is getting stronger day by day.
People are also strange. They know that the danger is extremely high. Maybe they will suffer misfortune for no reason if your Excellency is unhappy. But that kind of adventure is like an irresistible temptation in human nature. After trying it once, they will keep going. I want to reminisce.
Although they couldn't express it verbally or talk about it with others, they were shocked to find that they actually enjoyed it.
Now that they have lost the attention of His Excellency, they feel that their lives are as dull as water without much fun.
It’s also strange.
Bearded Cheng Tongxu laments his "courage ()"
“?()_[()]?『Come to []♂see the latest chapter♂complete chapter』()”
of.
At this time, almost at the same time, their souls were pulled.
The next moment, the two of them arrived on the sea, and the two boats sailed side by side towards the middle of the sea.
The two were stunned for a moment and looked at each other.
From each other's eyes, they both saw...excitement, excitement, anticipation and luck?
Expectation and luck? No longer the panic and fear of before?
It's hard to imagine such a sentiment, but it seems reasonable.
Thinking about the process of inner transformation in these nine days, it seems not unimaginable to see this in the other person's eyes.
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then put on understanding smiles.
But their faces immediately became confused again, because they saw another boat on the sea in front of them, and someone on the boat was rowing forward continuously.
Who is this? Another person favored by that Excellency?
They hadn't been here for only nine days, but there was actually one more person. Of course, they couldn't just think that they were the only ones favored by that Excellency.
But the other party was too brave and actually wanted to get close to the mountain.
Unlike when they first came here, the fear in their hearts made them feel uneasy and they did not dare to do anything randomly.
However, the other party seemed to be trying in vain. The boat was rowed forward, but it seemed that it could never get close to the mountain.
() It’s really amazing.
When Cheng Tongxu and Gao Wei's boat arrived in the middle of the sea, they couldn't help but be a little curious about the extra favored person. After taking a closer look, hey, isn't this the young master of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group?
It's true that the young man doesn't know what fear is in his heart. When he came to this unknown place, he didn't even know how to restrain himself.
To be honest, they were a little envious, but they didn't dare to go beyond it.
At this time, Zhao Lan was rowing so hard that he was breathing heavily, but it seemed that it was all in vain.
At this time, he seemed to feel something strange behind him, and couldn't help but look back, and then he was completely confused.
Isn't this the bearded Cheng Tongaxe and Gao Wei from the Hurricane Mercenary Group?
Why are the two of them here?
He was familiar with these two people, and he even visited them specially. The sacred weapon that the two of them had been unable to perform rituals on for many years was suddenly able to summon the heroic spirits within it. He envied him to death.
Zhao Lan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if something was flying through his mind, and he almost caught it, but just a little bit.
What will it be?
Zhao Lan looked at the strange high mountain in front of him that could never be reached, then with a movement of his eyes, he turned the bow of the boat and began to paddle back hard, sliding towards the two motionless boats in the middle of the sea.
This time it didn't take long, and he actually paddled past me.
Zhao Lan's boat kept circling around the two of them, his eyes shining brightly. What important thing had he ignored?
In an unknown place, Zhao Lan saw an acquaintance and was so enthusiastic that he said to a little puppy that kept wagging its tail: "Big Bearded, Master Gao, are you there too?"
After saying that, he changed another word: "Why are you here?"
Cheng Tongaxe and Gao Wei: "..."
I really don’t know what awe is. In front of that Excellency, I didn’t know to say hello to that Excellency, but I actually started chatting with them so freely and casually.
Of course, Cheng Tongxu and Gao Wei are not like Zhao Lan. They don't know yet. Zhao Lan really doesn't know anything now. As the saying goes, those who don't know have nothing to fear. Meeting acquaintances in unknown places, well, Even if you are not familiar with them before, you will definitely find something to talk about with them first.
Cheng Tongxu and Gao Wei ignored Zhao Lan's stunned look and said loudly: "Your Excellency,
Thank you for giving us the truth and great revelation last time. "
This gratitude is very sincere. They have obtained satisfactory benefits by listening to the truth in Thunder.
After speaking, he quickly added: "It's an honor to be summoned by Your Excellency again."
The meaning revealed in this sentence is dark but obvious, which also shows that they are not afraid of being noticed by your Excellency, and even look forward to being noticed.
Zhao Lan opened his mouth, what's going on?
He knew that Big Beard and Gao Wei were notoriously rude mercenaries, but look at the way the two of them talked now. Although they were nondescript, they carefully chose their words?
It's like a different person.
Moreover, from the words of the two people, it seems that this is not the first time here?
Thanks for coming here again?
Do these two people dislike living for too long?
Even though he is jumping happily, do you think he is really not afraid?
only
It's just that everyone expresses fear in a different way. For example, for him, even if he died, he would die like a hero in a poem, if he could choose.
Zhao Lan couldn't help but look at the figure on the mountain again.
Guru, is there really a living unknown out there?
Gulu, Big Beard and Gao Wei were too courageous. Unknown ignored them and they took the initiative to provoke Unknown.
He almost doesn't recognize this world anymore.
Shouldn't they work together now and try their best to escape from here together?
When Cheng Tongxu and Gao Wei saw that the Lord on the mountain didn't respond, they didn't think anything, because they knew that the Lord only listened to them based on his mood. How could it be so easy to hear His Excellency's voice? .
Captain Gao thought for a while, then raised his voice and said: "Your Excellency, I have several sacred artifacts of unknown authenticity that have puzzled me for many years. I hope to get your enlightenment."
Gao Wei is a typical mercenary who likes to take risks and collect holy weapons. Although the holy weapons in his hand do not come from ruins, they also come from some dangerous places.
He was not sure whether it was true or not, and spent a lot of energy on it.
The extravagant desire to give up and be unwilling to do so has always troubled him.
Cheng Tongaxe next to him was stunned for a moment. This iron brother of his was really brave. He didn't dare to do such a bold thing, although he had also thought about doing so.
Cheng Tongxu thought to himself, will that Excellency respond?
In fact, since Gao Wei heard the truth in Thunder, he has been thinking about having someone help him identify the authenticity of these sacred artifacts in his hand.
Shen Yan noticed what Gao Wei was holding as soon as he entered the place.
Out of habit, I had already carefully observed it.
There are four pieces in total, three of which are relatively crude imitations, while the remaining one is somewhat interesting.
Zhao Lan was very confused now. He looked at the bearded man for a while and at Gao Wei for a while. What were they talking about?
A moment of truth, a moment of revelation, and now... still asking an unknown entity representing doom and disaster to help identify the sacred artifact?
Zhao Lan secretly pinched his thigh. Oh my god, it hurts. It hurts my soul, not my dream.
Just as he was wondering, a thunder exploded from high in the sky.
"Sacrifice!"
"Sacrifice!"
The thunder was echoing. It was obviously thunder, but there seemed to be some sound mixed in with the thunder.
Listen carefully, it seems that the word "sacrifice" is constantly echoing, a voice mysteriously covered in the thunder?
Zhao Lan had no time to think about it, because he was thrown into the sea by the huge waves, and the boat capsized.
I have to say, this boy is really unlucky.
Both Big Beard and Gao Wei had experienced much bigger storms before, and other people's boats had never capsized in the wind and rain.
Fortunately, it was just two words. The thunder came and went as quickly as it came.
Zhao Lan was swept into the sea and rolled several times in the waves before surfacing to the calming sea surface.
Scared...scared him to death.
Fortunately, he knew how to swim, so he kept swimming towards his boat, righted the overturned boat, and lay on his back.
boat
Although small,
But it was the only thing that kept him alive on this sea.
Lying on the boat,
Shocked, alive... survived.
It was too dangerous here, thunder and waves would break out without warning, and he was not prepared at all.
The eyes of Cheng Tongxu and Gao Wei were somewhat caring for the mentally retarded, and the voice of that Excellency could not be heard in such a safe way.
Unlike them, they were prepared and ready to stabilize the ship at any time.
Humph, that huge wave just now was nothing to them.
Gao Wei was a little confused, sacrifice?
Cheng Tongaxe sighed. He originally didn't want to tell Gao Wei that he paid for the sacrifice last time and received the revelation from the Lord, allowing Gao Wei to hear the truth in the thunder and successfully carry out the Linyuan mission. ceremony.
But now, Gao Wei himself brought the sacred weapon and made a request to that Excellency.
He wanted to secretly make up for his past guilt, but he was afraid he couldn't hide it anymore.
In a low voice, he explained to Gao Wei what he knew about the ritual process of wanting to hear the truth and revelation.
Shen Yan actually didn't want to trade with people so frequently, as this would easily reveal flaws.
But others brought everything.
Just like when business comes to your door, how can business people push the business away?
After listening to Big Beard's explanation, Captain Gao's expression became condensed.
First, it was Bearded Man who secretly purchased the Dawn Flower as a sacrifice, which gave him the last chance to listen to the truth and allowed him to succeed in the Abyss Ceremony.
I'm not going to tell him yet, just pay it in silence.
I can't help but feel a little touched, maybe the iron brothers are like this, although they are not real brothers, they are better than real brothers.
Mercenaries, because they have to leave their backs to their brothers all year round, value brotherly loyalty much more seriously than they think.
It is said that people in this era are emotionally indifferent. In order to survive and for resources, the knife edge is stained with the blood of countless people, but behind this coldness, there is also some unspeakable passion and friendship in any era.
The second is that listening to the truth requires sacrifices, and as far as he knows, only God needs sacrifices.
This Excellency may be greater than those unknowns imagined.
Based on his last experience, Cheng Tongxu quickly helped Gao Wei and said, "Dear Your Excellency, I don't know what kind of sacrifice is needed before I can hear Your Excellency's revelation again."
Shen Yan was also thinking, in fact, he really wanted money now. If he had money, he could buy whatever he wanted without worrying about it at all.
But he also knew that no matter what kind of sacrifice he wanted, he couldn't ask for money directly, and common things would not catch the eye of his "status".
Shen Yan thought for a while and said, "Career prologue."
"Arbitrary Career Prologue."
He doesn't need this thing now, but he can pull people in reality into illusions. Maybe someone needs the prologue he got.
Then he added: "Interesting prologue."
Amidst the thunder and rolling waves, Cheng Tongaxe and Gao Wei thought to themselves, what this Excellency cares about is not the career prologue at all. Look, he didn't even say which prologue he needs, just like the ninth prologue and the first prologue are in this In your eyes, there is no difference.
All your Excellency wants is an interesting prologue.
Like a small, insignificant interest
Hobby.
In the black market, wandering mercenaries can get some prologues by chance, and the prices are not too expensive.
Why?
Because the prologues in the black market are all without beginning or end. Some only have the beginning of Chapter 9, and some are prologues in the middle. I don’t know which sequence they belong to. They seem completely useless, especially this kind of middle prologue. The prologue cannot connect the past or the future, so no one dares to use it.
Without waiting for the vision on the sea to stop, Shen Yan used his "soul hand" to divide Gao Wei's four sacred weapons into two parts.
He removed the three fake ones and said one word, "Fake!"
Only the true one was left, saying one word: "True."
Then he started to explain the history and story of this cultural relic.
"This is a jade cicada. Cicada culture originated from Taoism and began in the Han Dynasty..."
"The cicada sheds away from the filth and floats in the dust. It knows how to stop and stop troubles. Knowing the coming and going means happiness and joy. Only by knowing and letting go can the ultimate eternity be achieved..." (Note: The text comes from Baidu)
"So it is often used as a burial jade mouthpiece or ornament..."
Endless thunder resounded across the stormy sea.
Zhao Lan didn't know how many mouthfuls of sea water he swallowed, and he opened his mouth in surprise from time to time.
It's... incredible.
What is he going through now?
His whole body was crawling on the boat. All he could do now was to hold on to the boat tightly. As for controlling the boat, he didn't even have to think about it. Now the boat would never capsize, and he was powerless. He was resigned to his fate and wandered on the sea, with the rootless people. duckweed.
After rippling for a long time, they seemed to be numb.
He couldn't help but glance at the two people next to him who were in the same situation as him.
As a result, what the hell are the two of them doing at this moment?
/>
Especially Gao Wei, he was working hard and risking his own life to listen to the sound in the thunder.
Raising his face, that kind of excitement and piety, like a pervert, really.
Must be crazy.
Gao Wei had a jade ornament in his mouth. He had to hold the string of the boat with both hands to prevent it from being thrown out, so he had to hold it in his mouth.
It's like a sacred instrument, shaped like a cicada.
Zhao Lan was suddenly stunned for no reason. He stared hard at the jade cicada in Gao Wei's mouth, and his ears were filled with a very vague but seemingly audible mysterious sound mixed with thunder.
He couldn't understand it at all at first, it was all weird stuff.
But when he saw the cicada in Gao Wei's mouth, Zhao Lan suddenly felt that all the lights in his mind seemed to collide together, like a piece of window paper that was suddenly pierced by his finger.
Zhao Lan's expression was extremely rich, ranging from confusion and confusion at the beginning, to surprise, understanding, and then excitement.
He finally understood what Big Beard and the others were talking about at the beginning, listening to the truth and revelation in Thunder.
He finally understood why Big Beard and Gao Wei could suddenly trigger the Linyuan Ceremony.
Zhao Lan was so excited that she waved her fist fiercely, and then... was thrown into the sea from the boat.
Thumping hard, fluttering hard.
He cannot die.
He will soon be able to perform the Abyss Ritual, and he will be able to summon the heroic spirit from the Golden Luti Furnace Spear, which is ranked tenth in the world.
So excited, my God, he seems to have seen the day when he becomes a legendary mercenary.
These damn waves couldn't possibly drown him.
Thump, thump, where is his boat? He has to thump back.
Shen Yan's voice stopped at this time, and he could see the moment Zhao Lan was thrown out.
Shen Yan still doesn't know what impact it will have on people in reality if he is drowned in this sea.
Besides, he's pretty much done.
The world became quiet, and only the sound echoing in the ears was left, which was just the auditory hallucination left behind by the deafening sound just now.
Without waiting for Cheng Tongaxe and Gao Wei to react, Shen Yan reached out and pushed their boat back to the starting position.
Now, only Zhao Lan is left in the sea.
Shen Yan was thinking about whether to pick him up and put him back on the boat, using his "soul hand"
Judging from the fact that it can push boats and move sacred objects, it should also be able to affect people.
but……
Zhao Lan was flopping so energetically that Shen Yan hadn't even started yet. The young man identified the direction of his boat and actually jumped on it himself.
However, I fell down really tired.
After spitting out a few mouthfuls of seawater, he turned over.
Zhao Lan: Haha, he was not drowned. Tsk, he is destined to become a legendary mercenary in poetry.
However, immediately, Zhao Lan's expression changed drastically, because his boat, like Big Beard and Gao Wei's boat, began to return to the starting position.
Not knowing where he got the strength, Zhao Lan turned over and climbed up, dancing with excitement: "Wait, wait."
"I want it too, I want it too."
"I also want to hear truth and revelation!"
Shen Yan thought to himself that his soul power was almost exhausted and he had no time to tell another story.
As the boat retreated, Shen Yan raised his voice and spoke: "
I cannot look directly at you!
My name is indescribable! "
The scene of the end of the world is reappeared.
Shen Yan decided that when a new person comes in from now on, he will scare them once.
In the unparalleled stormy waves, the boat returned to its starting position, and the people on the boat still maintained their jaw-dropping posture.
At this time, Zhao Lan sat on the bed in his room with his mouth wide open.
"Gulu!"
"My first ancestor!"
After a while, Zhao Lan grumbled several times and then started rolling on the bed desperately.
"Almost, almost, I can perform the Abyss Ceremony."
"Ah, why didn't I react earlier?"
This kind of thing is indispensable.
Opportunity within his reach.
"Big Beard and Gao Wei should also remind you."
I'm dead, I don't want to live anymore.
But he was immediately stunned again.
"No, no."
"Why do Big Beard and Captain Gao seem to know something about unknown places and that mysterious person?"
"hiss!"
Zhao Lan stood up from the bed.
The excitement on his face was beyond words: "They... they have been there more than once, they... they have listened to the mysterious man more than once.
The truth and revelation of mysteries. "
"By the way, the two of them successfully performed the Abyss Ceremony not long ago."
Zhao Lan didn't care about the depth of night, got up and ran outside the station.
In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door of other mercenary groups.
Bearded, Zhao Lan: "..."
Big eyes stare at small eyes.
But it seems that I can't say anything, I can't look directly at that person's true face, and I can't mention that person's name.
Zhao Lan was so anxious that he kept winking at the bearded man.
He was afraid. He was afraid that if he disobeyed the warning, he would never hear the revelation from Him.
What happened to the people in the Fearless Mercenary Group who were woken up?
Isn't this Zhao Lan from the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group? Why are you winking at their bearded men?
It's so weird in the middle of the night.
It made my heart feel chilly.
Cheng Tongaxe somewhat understood Zhao Lan's excitement at this time, and said after a while: "Wait."
That was all he could say.
I can only wait for the summons from your Excellency, and there is no other way.
As for when that Excellency will summon him, he doesn't know. Sometimes it is consecutive, sometimes every ten or eight days, it all depends on the interest of that Excellency.
Zhao Lan was a master who would not let go of the eagle when he saw the rabbit, and he stayed at the Fearless Mercenary Group all night.
He thought that when the mysterious man summoned the bearded man, he would also rub by and maybe summon him by the way.
I waited until dawn, even though I was yawning, but I couldn't wait.
At dawn, Zhao Lan went to the Hurricane Mercenary Group to find Captain Gao.
Gao Wei was as happy as a child teasing a cicada flying around him.
This is a good thing. The sound of cicadas can actually alleviate the discomfort in his newly strengthened soul.
You know, a mercenary needs to undergo many soul enhancements in his life to become strong, and this cicada is very useful.
Zhao Lan's eyes were as wide as those of a cow. That cicada... that cicada...
One day, overnight, the Linyuan ceremony was successful.
That is really the supreme truth.
I was so excited that my heart and liver were trembling.
No matter what, he had to see the unknown again.
At this time, Shen Yan had a rare good sleep and worked hard for nine consecutive days in order to become a corpse whisperer.
I didn't get up until the sun was shining on me.
While washing and thinking about things, in the fantasy world, Zhao Lan, Big Beard, and Gao Wei seemed to have nothing in common.
Could it be that in reality, they experienced the same thing, so they could be pulled into the illusion?
However, it was difficult for Shen Yan to ask directly about things in reality. He and the three of them were not familiar with each other, so going to inquire rashly would only expose him.
Shen Yan thought to himself that he didn't know whether Gao Wei had carefully prepared the "sacrifice."
Career prologues are good things, such as the Corpse Whisperer prologue he got, but due to his oath, he couldn't tell anyone, let alone trade it for profit.
But with the prologue from the black market, there is no such restriction and he can use it however he wants.
In fact, Gao Wei went to the homeless mercenaries in the black market early in the morning to inquire about the career prologue.
I really asked him about it
There were a few, but they were all sparse and ordinary. What your Excellency wanted was an interesting prologue, which the average person didn't like. He couldn't just perfunctory it, he had to continue sifting and sifting.
If Shen Yan knew what Gao Wei was thinking now, he would definitely say: No, no, no, as long as it is a career prologue, anyone who comes will be welcome.
Shen Yan stretched out lazily, then his stomach growled, he was hungry.
After taking care of things, I walked towards the noodle stall at the city gate.
When they arrived at the noodle stall, Locust Cub showed a row of white teeth: "Shen Yan, I'm about to send you buns back."
Shen Yan smiled, picked up two big buns from the steamer, filled a bowl of rice, and sat there to eat.
The locust cub also helped pick up a small plate of kimchi: "The recent kimchi tastes just right. Try it quickly."
Sun Zi also ran over: "Shen Yan, while you were away, the locust cub was playing with his grasshopper again. He has a big green-winged, oil-skinned grasshopper that he won't let me play with."
These children are extremely happy every day now.
Shen Yan said: "Our business is good."
When they talked about this, Locust Zai and Bamboo Zi laughed so hard that their mouths stretched to their ears.
Sunzi: "Many mercenaries from Shangcheng District have come to eat with us recently."
"It costs one copper dove to take the commuter bus from uptown to us, and another one to go back."
As for the two copper doves, they both came for nothing in order to eat the food in their shop, which shows how good the food they sell is.
Shen Yan actually discovered this phenomenon, and the reason was very simple. Hand-made noodles began to become popular in every household in the Mercenary City, and the reputation of the Tiger and Leopard Mercenary Group shop also spread to Shangcheng District. went.
Coupled with its cleanliness and hygiene, it has indeed attracted many people from the uptown area to try it.
Therefore, when Shen Yan said last time that he needed to research new dishes to meet different consumer needs, he was just talking.
People in the upper city area naturally have much stronger spending power than those in the lower city area.
And the noodles and steamed buns in their shop are definitely not enough now. Only with enough dishes can they attract more consumers, attract people of different consumption levels, and be more competitive.
Otherwise, spending two extra copper doves to come to them will sooner or later lose business to other shops that are slowly improving.
Shen Yan was thinking about it when Ji Zhuo from the Security Pavilion came over, probably looking for Jiang Yu, but Jiang Yu happened not to be in the shop.
Shen Yan greeted: "Why do you look so tired?"
Ji Zhuo was indeed a little depressed. He looked around and didn't see Jiang Yu. He walked to Shen Yan and said, "Two major cases happened recently. The security booth was so busy that I couldn't sleep well."
Shen Yan became interested. He was busy with the corpse whisperer's apocalypse ceremony these days, and he had no idea what was happening in the city.
Ji Zhuo continued: "A small mercenary group in the Lower City suddenly lost more than a dozen people."
"The death was miserable. When they died, they were stripped naked and hung on a wooden cross. The deceased were all men."
"According to people who are familiar with this mercenary group, the team of this group recently went out to take on a mission and brought back a strange widow. She is pretty good-looking."
"After the incident, the widow also disappeared at the same time."
"It stands to reason that this widow's suspicion
No doubt,
But based on the portrait provided, we
After searching all over the place, there was not even a hint of information, let alone a human figure. "
"The widow was easy to identify. We asked all the gangsters, hooligans, vendors, etc. in the area. It should be expected that there would be no information at all, but she just disappeared out of thin air."
Shen Yan thought to himself, this is really a strange case.
Ji Zhuo continued: "The other case is even more bizarre."
"Recently, many mercenary groups have lost some medicinal herbs. I originally thought it was an ordinary theft."
"It turns out, according to witnesses, it was an arm that did the crime."
After speaking, he glanced at Shen Yan: "You also know that arm. It's the arm that Fu Ang, the corpse-shredder, lost when he died at the exit of the underground tunnel last time. According to eyewitness descriptions, there were obvious signs of blasphemy on the arm. ."
Shen Yan was obviously stunned for a moment. The person who once attacked him?
He originally thought that this matter was over, how could he still commit crimes with one arm left?
Shen Yan couldn't help but ask: "What kind of herbs were stolen?"
Ji Zhuo had a strange expression: "According to the reported information, one of our wizards recognized the use of these herbs."
"It is used to brew an oil that preserves corpses and prevents them from decaying."
"According to eyewitness accounts, the arm was intact and showed no signs of decay."
Shen Yan: "..."
In today's weather, the body will rot in a few days, but the arm is still intact after so many days?
That arm steals herbs and brews its own potion to keep the arm incorruptible?
It's really weird.
Ji Zhuo said: "Anyway, you have been paying attention recently. It is not easy to come out of the underground tunnel alive, even with just one arm."
Ji Zhuo came here to tell him about this.
Shen Yan nodded. He didn't know how the arm came back to life. After it came back to life, it still had the same consciousness as before.
If he was still the same person, wouldn't he come looking for me again?
Thinking of this, Shen Yan shuddered.
After Ji Zhuo finished speaking, he stayed for a while and then left.
Shen Yan also ran to tell Zhao Kuo, who had just arrived, what happened: "How powerful a person can be who can still live on one arm after death?"
Zhao Kuo also frowned: "At least the legendary mercenary in the third prologue can't do it, and Fu'ang is only in the seventh prologue, and he can't do it even more."
"The only unstable factor is that he has been to the underground tunnel, and no one knows what happened to him in there."
As a rare dangerous place in the world, there are many mysterious events that cannot be explained.
Shen Yan was surprised: "Even the legendary mercenary can't do it, so how many arms are there?"
Zhao Kuo: "Maybe those immortals in the past can survive with the remaining corpses, but this is beyond the scope of human beings."
“Know why our profession is called Prologue?”
Shen Yan was also a little confused. The prologue meant the beginning, but after the first prologue, there was no more. From the literal meaning of the name, it didn't make sense.
Zhao Kuo: "Because the ultimate of human beings is the first prologue, and there may be an unverifiable Chapter 0, but those beyond the prologue are called unknown existences. No one has ever seen the unknown, only ancient poems about them. records.
"
Shen Yan coughed quickly. He had been pretending to be unknown recently, but he was getting more energetic.
Then he said: "Is that arm going to come to me again?"
Zhao Kuo: "If the one inside the arm is Fu Ang, there may be a chance that he will come to you."
"But if not, then there's no reason to come to you."
"The probability of a professional from Chapter 7 being able to walk out of the underground tunnel is zero, even if only one arm comes out."
Shen Yan thought to himself, if that arm was not Fu Ang, then who could it be?
At present, it seems that they are just stealing medicinal herbs and have not committed any major murders.
But no matter what, Shen Yan felt that he was not very safe anymore, so he should stay with Zhao Kuo when he had nothing to do.
Shen Yan asked: "Just came back?"
Zhao Kuo nodded: "Repairing the house in Xiacheng District will be completed today."
Shen Yan thought to himself, how could he forget about this?
Next, Shen Yan followed Zhao Kuo and helped him a little bit. He was also a member of the mercenary group.
This busy work lasted until the evening, as if nothing had been done, but in fact a lot of messy things had been done.
Shen Yan was lying on the bed and was about to take out the bronze box and enter the fantasy world, when something flashed past the window.
Shen Yan frowned: "A ghost?"
But just now it seemed that the kerosene lamp on the window sill reflected some kind of shadow, but the ghost had no shadow.
And there are very small, almost inaudible footsteps?
Unable to confirm.
Shen Yan couldn't help but look in the direction of Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo was also looking out the window and made a silent gesture towards him.
Shen Yan quickly sneaked over and lowered his voice: "What is it?"
Zhao Kuo: "Thief."
The direction they were going was to the cellar where they stored food.
Zhao Kuo's face turned cold, he had come to steal something, he picked up a dagger and walked out.
Shen Yan was also sneaking around to watch the fun, but he stayed far away to avoid splattering him with blood. He actually came to steal the things of Zhao Kuo, a miser, and he was impatient.
When Shen Yan followed from a distance and looked at him, he was a little confused.
There was an arm there, just one arm, with five fingers walking. As a corpse whisperer, Shen Yan could even hear the eerie sound coming from this arm, and it was not a vague sound, it was clearer than ever.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
"I can smell the smell of old documents from afar."
It was so strange. The voice of the corpse that Shen Yan heard was actually very abstract, but why could this arm convey the meaning of the voice so clearly and ready?
The arm did not go to the cellar, but started digging near the cellar.
A deep hole was dug out, and an oil paper package was dug out. He pulled it open with his fingers, revealing an old document inside.
Isn't this the one Zhao Kuo picked up? Zhao Kuo hid it underground.
What's going on with this arm? Can old documents buried underground be smelled by it? !
