Returning from the abyss

Chapter 462 Absolute Taboo
Lu Ning couldn't hear what Fabio was shouting, but she could guess it.The door was so big, and as a result of dozens of people blocking it, no one could get out, and the three who started to metallize were even mixed in the crowd, which was actually more dangerous.

She pointed upwards.

This karst cave was originally created temporarily for this plan, and just as Lu Ning expected, the camouflaged painting corridor was actually made by elongating the horizontal space, and the real location was actually at the place where the mission was received below.

And the consequence of such an explosion in such a temporary place can only be a collapse.

"It's about to collapse?" Fabio showed a terrified expression, and then he was dragged into another room by Lu Ning with a tight elbow.

The structure of the hall is empty, which is the hardest hit area of ​​the collapse, and the area of ​​the transcription room is not large, so it is no problem as a supporting structure.The place Lu Ning was looking for was also a room that had not been contaminated by magic books. Immediately after entering the room, she pushed a table over and signaled Fabio to block the door. , try to put on the body.

Fabio blocked the door with a sad face. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that it would have no effect on the monsters outside. However, at this moment, there was a loud collapse sound outside. Judging from the sound, nearly half of the The hall has probably collapsed.

Lu Ning rubbed her ears, it was okay, at least she could hear something, but her tinnitus was still there.

"Fabio! Stay away from the door!" She said as she threw one of the remaining transformation formations over. Fabio had seen the horror of this thing, and hurriedly hid aside.

The collapse created a brief silence, about a few seconds.

Immediately afterwards, someone began to climb up the collapsed building structure.And at this moment, someone yelled again, pushed the person beside him aside, stared at the person with his hands covered with blood dripping from his shoulders, and shouted: "He! He's grown thorns! He's going to become a monster!"

He didn't notice that the people next to him were far away from him, and someone behind him even raised his hand, rolling up a bunch of wind cones and aiming at the back of his head.

"Jaze, there seems to be something wrong, that bang, pong sound is really big." The waitress, who was pregnant with dragon's blood, quietly returned to the hot and sour cocktail, and whispered something to the people behind the bar.

"what's up?"

"A building where wage earners often gather collapsed, and I smelled a very disgusting smell in the air, like a creature from another world."

"The pollution of the magic book." Jaze said affirmatively, "Help me greet the guests. Although there may be some troubles in the Opal District, I am afraid that I will be held accountable by Percival."

"Understood, but I don't know how to concoct..."

"It's fine to serve normal alcoholic drinks. If there is a problem, let Kuru solve it. If you dare to make trouble, let him sleep until dawn."

"okay!"

After exhorting, Jaze wiped his hands, unbuttoned the collar of his uniform casually, and walked outside the door.

"Jaze! Where are you going?" A drunken drinker raised his glass.

"Persuade, and do some landfill work by the way." Jaze said with a smile.

"That doesn't sound like a job for a bartender!"

"Who said no?"

The moment she walked out the door, she dissolved into the night.

At this time, there was no one at the gate of the meeting place. The members of the thieves group who were here before had fled long ago, and the three who left behind to confirm the situation also saw that they were not blocked by the crowd and the explosion, and quickly returned to the ground. .

The three of them tore off their black robes and returned to their original appearance. Just as they were about to leave, the floor shook, and half of the house behind them collapsed into the ground.

"Oh, it's over." A person glanced gloatingly, "Everyone is dead, is the mission a failure?"

"The collapse can't kill the magician, and they can crawl out from there. The problem is that this movement is bigger than we thought... It's bad!" It was the man with the sarcoid on the right side of his neck who spoke.

"I think you also know that it's terrible. After such a big commotion, the guards will come over after a while. If they find the pollution of the magic book, they must report it. After the people sent by the parliament come, everyone can't leave."

With a leisurely and clear voice, Jaze came out of the night, wearing a pair of black gloves that fit the shape of his hands at some point.

"Jaze, good evening."

"Good evening, Sicilian, you should have a glass of wine at the bar and talk about your extraordinary knowledge, instead of planning a disgusting conspiracy here." Jaze still had his usual smile.

"Who is this woman? Why did she come here?" A companion stared at her viciously, and black and gray particles appeared in his hand.

"Jaze, we're leaving now. You can do whatever you want here." Sicilian quickly stopped his companion, and at the same time said in a friendly voice, "We've known each other for so long, and we understand the rules of the Opal District, so just turn a blind eye." Just turn a blind eye and let it pass, I will go to drink tomorrow."

"I think so too, but the three of you just ran out of it." Jaze shook his head regretfully, "I have to make sure that the three of you are not targeted."

"How to confirm?"

"Why are you still talking to her? How else can I deal with it? Go!"

Sicilian's companion was obviously not that patient, and due to the cognitive gap and the current environment, he obviously misunderstood the meaning of "handling" and drew a black star when he raised his hand.

"Don't! Jaze! You have something to say!" Sicilian couldn't stop him, and immediately extended his hand to Jaze.

"It doesn't matter, no one has ever counted the number of homeless people in Opal District, and no one cares about two more."

Lu Ning sat firmly in the room, Fabio anxiously circled back and forth, the sound outside gradually quieted down, but he didn't know what happened, he couldn't calm down.

"Lilian, 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, and more than 40 cowering magicians stood side by side. A floor that has been cleared out, and the bartender lady who is well-known to everyone in the Opal District is standing on a huge stone and looking at this side.

"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, won't the matter be resolved?" Lu Ning shrugged.

"No matter how fast they move, they can't stop people who want to run. You should be grateful that I am only a few streets away from here."

"I don't know how powerful you are. I'm sorry for involving you casually."

"I remember not too long ago I said I was super strong."

"..." Lu Ning couldn't talk to her.

When the two 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 the stone or were dealt with.

"The guards are coming soon." Jaze looked up, "We have to go too, otherwise it will be troublesome to deal with them..."

"What about these people?" Fabio asked tremblingly.

"They can't leave, because of the transcription, everyone needs to take a mental test, otherwise it will be a matter of time before they become monsters." Lu Ning said.

These words were heard by the magicians, and they all showed panic expressions, and the three who followed Lu Ning immediately squeezed out from the crowd, shouting: "We didn't transcribe! We can leave!"

"But you are mixed with the crowd, and a few infected people were also mixed with the crowd before, I can't judge whether your state is safe." Jaze shrugged, "So it's best to stay here and be checked by the guards. it is good."

The faces of the three people immediately turned into mournful faces.

"No way, who let you touch the taboo? If you can return to normal life after this time, stay away from this weird job in the future."

Jaze grinned, his pupils immediately turned dark purple, and the eyes of the dozens of magicians suddenly lost their focus, and they all stood there stupidly.Of course, Lu Ning and Fabio who were behind couldn't see the changes in Jaze. When she turned around, her eyes returned to normal.

"As for the two of you, since you can avoid it in advance, if you want to come and take precautions, leave with me, maybe you need something to calm down."

"En." Lu Ning nodded and climbed up, Fabio hurriedly followed behind, and the three of them returned to the top along the collapsed slope.A wide passageway has been opened there, and Lu Ning decided to ignore the smooth edges of the macadam tiles, which look like half-cut surfaces polished by a machine. Since Jaze can suppress such pollution by himself, it is not surprising to open a passageway.

The three of them left with their front feet, and the guards behind them had already arrived here.

"Jaze, did you see anyone who escaped early?" Lu Ning asked on the way back.

"Well, so we have to ask the question first, the same person you asked me the other day."

She turned into a small alley, and after a while, she led out a man with stiff movements. His black robe had been removed, and Lu Ning recognized that this was the contact person of the Twilight Thieves Group.It's just that his expression was in a trance, and he no longer had the disturbing feeling he had two days ago.

And Jaze brought back the hot and sour cocktail through the back door. Kuru was sitting in the kitchen dealing with the fried food. When they saw Jaze, they smiled honestly: "It's all done?"

"It's over there, but I have to ask here, Kuru, is there any empty wine cellar?"

"Have."

Kuru got up, took a bunch of keys from the wall, opened the entrance of an underground passage, took off a cold light and led several people over, except Fabio who was left on it and given a glass of wine to rest.

"Lilian, you already knew there was a problem, didn't you?"

"Yes, I have encountered a similar situation before, related to... that."

"You're bulging." Jaze glanced at her. "I didn't ask you what you got, but since you know it, take care of it yourself."

"Tomorrow, the Magic Council should take action, just like before. After all, another incident happened. They must clean up their internal problems."

"That's not up to us to decide, take it easy, at least nothing happened in Opal District tonight." Jaze shrugged.

"A lot of people died, is it okay?" Lu Ning wondered.

"Ewalang...as long as the students don't have any accidents, then there is no problem." Kuru was a little dull, "After all, this place was established as a school, the core of which is to cultivate young and outstanding talents, but those who have left the field of study , Avalon believes that it is normal for magicians to die from various emergencies during their travels."

"yes."

"After all, the mages who left to study are adults, and they should be responsible for their own choices." Jaze seemed to agree.

"arrive."

Kuru found a number [-] among a row of wooden doors, and picked out the corresponding key to open it. The inside was very clean, and the whole room could be illuminated by hanging the lamp on the wall. There were many large empty wooden barrels inside, the height of Nearly two meters, as big as three or four people hugging each other.There were still some small ones in the corner, and Jaze pulled one over to use as a seat. After both Lu Ning and Kuru stood still, he snapped his fingers lightly, and the man shivered as he closed his eyes.

"Sicilian, good evening." Jaze waved his hand with a smile.

"Jaze..." Sicilian glanced at her with some fear, his eyes swept over Lu Ning and Kuru, and then returned to her, "My two... companions..."

"Still worried about your companions? It's a touching friendship. It's a pity that their ending is much worse than yours. This is a special treatment for old friends." Jaze put down his hand, "If you can clearly understand this A little, and then answer the question honestly! After all, I don’t know how to interrogate, and I don’t want to kill you.”

"...Jaze, I know your details."

"The part you thought you understood, even Parcival let me go."

"That old guy always believes that people's hearts tend to be kind, and that's why this city has given a lot of people like us living space. Hehehe, Jaze, but I absolutely don't believe that you don't have any evil thoughts in your heart, after all, even me Bad guys are not qualified to learn black magic."

Lu Ning could tell that Sicilian was hoping to shock Kuru and herself with this sentence, but they didn't give him any reaction.

"Look, no one cares what you say." Jaze smiled.

The expression on Sicilian's face twitched, and he yelled at Kuru and Lu Ning: "Don't you two know what black magic is? Do you know that this woman learns an absolutely forbidden spell? Do you associate with her? The deeper it gets, sooner or later she—”

"I know." Kuru touched his head, choking Sicilian's words in his throat, and even continued, "She told me the first day I picked her up, 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 some kind of black magic. And it's hard to find a better bartender than her. I don't think it's a big deal, let alone Percival nodded."

"You... can't understand..." Sicilian tried to find something to say, but Jaze's voice drew his attention back.

"I think your learned gentleman look is more suitable for conversation. Is that what you pretended to be?"

"Disguise is a compulsory course for us, what? Disappointed?"

"No—you've used this identity for many years, right? I think it's easier to communicate with that character than your own." Jaze's mouth curved into an arc, and she stretched out her hand, obviously without any The magic radiance flickered, but Sicilian wanted to back away in horror, tripped by the shadow, and sat directly on the ground.

"Even if it's a heinous guy, I'm willing to give him a chance to reform himself. Am I not bad?" Jaze was still sitting on the wine barrel, but a black hand came out of hers, clasped on Sicilian's head.

"no no……"

"Personality cleansing."
