Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 274 Infiltrating, Investigating Information!
At this moment, Chen Ye's figure had arrived in the underground world, passed through the dark cave, and arrived at the wider road.

"The underground world seems to be getting lively today!"

Chen Ye looked around and found that the ordinary area of ​​the underground world was obviously more lively than before.

In addition to the dead silence of the Dark Land, with his keen sense of hearing, he was able to catch rustling sounds coming from all directions in every corner of the underground world.

These sounds included many footsteps, snoring, and illusory sounds of cursing.

Including the nearby lamp stones, there are obviously more than before, and a faint blue light is ignited everywhere.

This made it difficult for Chen Ye to walk through this place.

After all, he needed the help of shadows to activate [Lightless Stalker], making it easier to move.

But now... these troublesome lightstones obviously limited his room for movement.

"Hurry up!"

"Patrol around!"

"There are not many days left until the day of the transaction. The guys are hurrying to check whether there are any accidents in some underground worlds."

"As long as the demining is successful, according to the meritorious contribution points, you can exchange valuable materials from that adult."

"At that time...if you can obtain greater meritorious service, the gift from that lord can give you the power to rank three, or even rank four!"

In the depths, there was a yelling sound.

Chen Ye frowned, lurked away quietly, and found a row of thugs standing there.

As if following some kind of training.

The thugs looked a little tired, and some were still yawning. Obviously, they had listened to this kind of lecture for countless times, and they were already bored and tired. Whether you are serious or not, lectures are indispensable, and your attitude is very depressed.

Chen Ye's mind moved, and he realized that these thugs probably knew where the gathering place was.

"Okay, from now on we will split up and come here to gather on time at one o'clock in the afternoon."

The leader in leather armor dropped a word coldly, and waved his hands impatiently, as if chasing away flies, and let the group of subordinates disperse.

"Yes!"

The group of thugs responded lazily, and then dispersed immediately, and the picture was like a plate of loose sand.

Chen Ye observed the occupations on the heads of these thugs, most of them were first-rank occupations such as [Gluttony] and [Dark Chef], and the highest was only half-step second-rank.

Obviously, they are not very powerful in performing patrol tasks, and their responsibilities are not particularly strict. They are a bit like temporarily hired members.

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes, realizing that this might be his chance.

When these members dispersed one by one, he used the pupil of luck to observe the halos on the heads of these thugs.

in……

A mob member with a bloody halo on his head quietly walked into a dark cave.

"Hey, it seems that the benefactor must have suffered a bloody disaster today, so let me help you."

Chen Ye sighed, and suddenly felt that he was simply a kind person!
If the other party is allowed to bear this bloody fate with a normal trajectory of fate, he will probably enter a dark place without light, and then his life will be swallowed quietly.

But if I were to help him overcome the calamity...

Then, this price is nothing more than a little performance fee, and the temporary loss of self-awareness, providing memory...

…………

After half an hour.

Beside the dark cave rocks, the mob member lay on a smooth stone surface with his eyes closed, falling into a deep sleep.

At this moment, Chen Ye used the voice of crossing the soul to influence this guy's consciousness, and he had obtained the information he needed to know.

"It turns out that the members of this group of thugs are generally concentrated in the Northwest, about two kilometers away from here in the Dark Garden of Thorns."

"It seems to be a black real estate opened up from a dark place, and it turned out to be a residential area!"

"Most of the aborigines who have been active in the underground world all year round are said to live in this dark garden of thorns."

"At the same time, it is also where the mob members usually live. If there are some important meetings, they will be negotiated in a relatively high-end mansion."

"It seems... If you want to get more information about the thugs, you have to go to the Dark Garden of Thorns."

Thinking of this, Chen Ye's figure melted into the dark cave like water, hiding in the vast night...

…………

At this moment, at the entrance to the Lightless Land of the Dark Garden of Thorns...

A few light stones embedded in the cave walls emit dim candlelight, illuminating everything around.

Two mob members wearing brown leather armor and dark brown saddles, with a meter-long scimitar tied around their waists, stood on both sides with solemn expressions.

at this time……

A burst of suona suddenly sounded from the darkness, such as resentment, admiration, weeping and complaint.

On the alcove, the lampstone emitting a faint blue light suddenly flickered a few times, and fell into darkness for a short time...

The expressions of those thugs were obviously dull for a moment.

Then, a shadow passed by the side of the thug in an instant, only staying for less than a second, and then, the figure disappeared very quickly.

Chi Chi!

Chi Chi!

The lampstone made a friction sound as if malfunctioning, and then, the light gradually recovered, covering the faces of the thugs again.

But at this time, the thug's expression gradually regained its previous serious expression from a momentary daze.

They touched the back of their heads and felt as if they had passed out just now. They wondered if it was an illusion.

A moment later...the thugs gradually recovered from their coma and continued to stand where they were, as if nothing had happened.

…………

Chen Ye's figure emerged from the desolate night.

With the help of the light of the pale will-o'-the-wisp, he saw the flowerbed under his feet, and the road stretching all the way down with steel thorns...

On this road, it is full of steel thorns and cluttered, as if this is a dead and silent place that belongs to the monster garden.

Chen Ye controlled the will-o'-the-wisp and gradually fled into the distance.

In the distance, under the illumination of the will-o'-the-wisps, the low buildings gradually outline their specific shapes.

Those buildings are all made of ancient rocks, covered with dark-colored vines, and covered with a lot of mold.

These molds seem to have life, and they are still creeping in the dark.

At this moment, Chen Ye's eyes were focused on these buildings, and under the inspection of the halo of luck, he searched for the path he was going to.

The ink-colored mist continued to diffuse along the path of the thorny garden.

It seemed to indicate some kind of danger lurking ahead.

Among the scattered buildings like human heads, bloody torrents can still be vaguely seen, permeating the darkness and intensifying.

According to his memory, Chen Ye found the three-story single-family building.

"Is this where the thugs live..."

At this moment, you can see scattered figures in the house.

But... there is no particularly strong sign of luck here, but a faint yellowish color pervades it.

In the land of no light, Chen Ye can lurk in the shadows anytime and anywhere without being discovered by others.

But in order to prevent that there may be some characteristics inside, it senses its own arrival, and thus sends out an alarm...

Therefore, Chen Ye still chose to summon the things in the spirit world and resonate with the vision, so as to obtain the information inside.

He arranged a stream of consciousness and waited for the dark patterns on the ground to explode into a burst of light.

Several mouse-shaped creatures that were bound through the [Devil Contract] that day suddenly emerged from the gray mist and appeared in front of Chen Ye.

Among them... a mouse was also fused with the will-o'-the-wisp, turning into a pale flame, stirring everywhere.

Through the vision of spiritual resonance…

Chen Ye immediately entered the apartment on the third floor...

At this moment, he saw rows of horizontal beds, resting thugs lying on them, messy garbage, litter, and even foul-smelling excrement all over the floor. The ground is messy.

There were constant faint snores, coming from every corner of the bed.

According to the rules of action for members of the mob, the group of employees resting in the apartment should be preparing to be rotated into night shifts.

Originally, at this point in time, they should have a good rest and come back to work after a sufficient rest.

But for some reason, there is such a thing as training camp.

A violent and impatient roar sounded from the door:
"Everyone, get up!"

"Arrange in a square formation and conduct patrol training!"

"You bastards! Look in the mirror! Look at your current order, what does it look like?"

"If there is any problem that day, according to the content of the contract, not only will all your wages be confiscated, but you will also be paid liquidated damages!"

"Get up! Get up! Get up!"

Chen Ye looked in, and found that it was a vicious manager wearing a blood-colored badge.

His mind moved, and he said to himself: "According to the memory of that thug member, the managers seem to know the time of assembly, and generally have the strength of about half a step and three turns."

Before, these members were strong enough to serve as team leaders stationed at the entrance, but now, they have been reduced to middle-level management.

But even so, some professions should not be underestimated.

With a thought, Chen Ye activated the talent of [Scarlet Research], and confirmed that the manager in front of him was a [Scary Scarecrow] with half-step and three-turn occupation.

With the help of pale flames, Chen Ye could clearly see the skinny body of the manager under the red uniform, as if it was made of straw. The skin color on the surface was completely different from that of a normal person. , with a few strange deep blacks, looking directly at it, Mo Ming brings a sense of horror to people.

Chen Ye's mind moved, thinking that he had the identity of [Devil Executioner].

And the parts on this scarecrow can be said to be the best raw materials to make up the [Horror Sculpture]!

He looked up, and found that there happened to be another bloody disaster on the scarecrow's head...

Chen Ye couldn't help but sighed in his heart, and said compassionately:
"It seems that this benefactor is also in a bit of bad luck, and I need to help him overcome the calamity..."

…………

In fact, the training camp for members hired by the thugs is not nutritious.

It turned out to be physical training such as running exercises, standing at attention, and long jump.

Chen Ye was a little speechless for a moment. This has already come to the world of the strange era. Is there any point in co-authoring and practicing the training of these normal people?

After thinking about it for a long time, he could only guess that the subordinates had to put on a show because of the order of the leader, so these poor mercenaries could only spend meaningless time and become victims of formal rules.

As for that scarecrow... As a manager, have you ever seen a manager go to a training camp with their subordinates?

Taking advantage of the time when these mob members ran away, Chen Ye's figure immediately lurked beside the scarecrow.

The Scarecrow tensed up, feeling as if there was some danger around him...

A strange suona sounded...

…………

10 minute later.

The Scarecrow opened his eyes again, and suddenly felt as if he had passed out just now.

And...the body seems to be missing some more critical organs?

But without these organs, how could he still function properly?
Wait... What happened just now?
The Scarecrow suddenly felt that his mind was a little unconscious, as if he had fallen into chaos, and all kinds of questions lingered in his mind, but he couldn't get a reasonable explanation, and it was difficult to find the correct answer...

Simply, he gave up his mind and thinking, and this chaotic feeling finally calmed down.

…………

"Got it."

Chen Ye opened his eyes, and in his mind, various details of the scarecrow's conversation with the black shadow emerged.

The transaction time will be about seven days later.

At that time, all mob players will receive a text message, and at the moment of the transaction, they will be immediately arranged in a square formation, sheltering left and right.

We still have to wait for the notification from the bloody mobile phone for the specific time...

For this reason, Chen Ye secretly controlled one of the mercenaries with the [Devil's Contract], and as soon as there was a message from the bloody mobile phone, he would immediately notify himself.

The strength of this group of mercenaries is very weak. With Chen Ye's strength, he can easily control them and force them to sign the [Devil Contract].

Of course, in order to avoid the rule of equivalence from being broken, Chen Ye was particularly "generous" to pay a copper coin as the employment fee.

In this way, everyone owes nothing to each other...

After doing all this, Chen Ye thought for a while, then controlled the Scarlet phone with his mind, and sent a message to Chen Xi:
[Chen Ye: "The place of the transaction is at the entrance of Longhua Avenue. On the southwest side, there is a dark place about one kilometer away. It is called 'Stone Cave Square'. About a thousand thugs and mercenaries are arranged in a square formation. Escort the trade item."]

【Chen Xi: "Okay, then I will send an elite unit from Lieyang Church to support you. In addition, I also notified that devil detective..."]
