Konoha: This Sasuke has Tivat

Chapter 164 The Disappearing Wendy

Hearing Sasuke's question, the other party was obviously frightened. He slumped down on the ground and said to him in a trembling voice:
"You...you are...from the treasure thief group?"

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to use your secret passage. I just discovered it by accident. I will never tell it... Please don't kill me!"

"I...I can draw maps...I can serve you, so please don't kill me!"

"Or...if you really want to silence me, at least wait until I finish exploring this underground mine!"

Sasuke never thought that one day he would be regarded as a member of the treasure stealing group.

The girl in adventurer costume in front of me is really strange. How did she find the tunnel left by Zhongli?
And her words, what do you mean if you want to kill her, at least wait until you finish exploring the underground?

What do you mean?
Sasuke was about to speak, but found that there was one less person beside him.

Paimon was still dangling beside him, but where was Wendy?

Wendy was clearly behind him when he entered from the secret passage, but how come he disappeared after coming out of the secret passage?
While Sasuke was guarding against the girl wearing the Adventurers Association costume, he asked Paimon:

"Paimon, have you seen Wendy?"

"Wendy?"

Paimon's attention was originally on the girl, but he was a little surprised after hearing Sasuke's question.

"Isn't Wendy right behind us...eh? Where is Wendy!"

Paimon didn't notice when Wendy disappeared?

Alarm bells rang loudly in my heart, this place was really weird.

He observed the girl who was still slumped on the spot and found that she didn't even have the eyes of God. At this time, she lowered her head and her body was trembling slightly, as if she didn't dare to look at them.

It seems as if he thinks that as long as he doesn't look up at the other person, he won't be silenced.

After thinking for a moment, he still said:
"We are not members of the Treasure Thief Group. Are you from the Adventurers Association?"

After hearing Sasuke's words, the other party finally slowly raised his head and looked at Sasuke.

After meeting Sasuke's eyes, she saw Sasuke's appearance clearly, her face lit up, she suddenly stood up, ran in front of Sasuke, and said very excitedly:

"Wow! You must be the... legendary Qiuqiu killer!"

what?
Hearing this long-lost title, Sasuke was a little worried.

Before he could react, the other party patted his chest and said with relief:

"I recognized you, and I was scared to death. I thought you were a member of the treasure thief group, and I thought I was going to be in bad luck today. Fortunately, it was you."

"Do you recognize Sasuke?"

Paimon also felt a little confused.

"Yes, I recognize you. You are Uchiha Sasuke. You are a great hero who participated in saving Liyue Port and defeated the whirlpool demon Osel together. Master Ningguang has personally promoted you, but I know that you were first in the Adventurers Association. When you hear the nickname Qiuqiu Killer, you are actually very famous in the Adventurers Association!"

He was somewhat impressed by Ningguang's promotion for him. After giving him the credit card before, he said that he would eliminate the bad influence caused by the wanted order in Liyue.

What I didn't expect was that he was actually very famous in the Adventurers Association...

But now is not the time to dwell on this.

"Calm down a little. What's your name?"

"Zhiqiong, I am a new adventurer in the Adventurers Association."

"Very well, Zhiqiong, before you met me and this Paimon, did you see a person dressed in green and dressed as a bard?"

"He should have come down with us."

Before asking this question, Sasuke actually didn't have much hope, because Wendy was at the rear when he came down. If he came in front of Sasuke, he would definitely feel it.Judging from Zhiqiong's reaction, he should be the number one person the other party saw in this underground mining area.

Sure enough, Zhiqiong scratched his head and said:

"No, you and the elf next to you are the first people I see here."

It's really weird...

Sasuke stood with his chin in his hands.

Wendy came down with him, but disappeared after coming down.

Combining the information given by Lingzhi and Zhongli before, their descriptions of the above-ground mining area were the same, but the descriptions after going down to the underground mine were inconsistent. This was confirmed.

After listening to their conversation, Paimon shrank his neck and leaned against Sasuke's shoulder, as if this was the only way to give her a sense of security.

"Sasuke...I feel something is wrong. Why is Wendy missing..."

"Why don't we go back to the ground and take a look first?"

Sasuke nodded.

At the same time, he looked at Zhiqiong.

"Shall I take you up with me? Although I don't know how you discovered this passage, it is very dangerous here. You, an ordinary person without the eyes of God, may die wandering around here."

But he didn't expect that Zhiqiong, who was still a little excited, suddenly calmed down and took a step back after hearing Sasuke's words.

"Senior...can I call you senior? Although you don't look particularly old, in terms of your qualifications as an adventurer, you are already famous."

"When I was wandering around the landmark mining area a few days ago, I discovered a different location than before. After careful observation and search, I found this secret passage that leads to the underground mining area."

"The great adventurer Alice once told me that the Strata Abyss would be my Rubicon."

"Although I don't know what the Rubicon is, I think this place may be the place that can change my life."

"I want to explore this place."

"I am also an adventurer. Where in the world are there adventurers who don't have to put themselves in danger?"

"I don't want to sleep in bed in a few decades, so old that I have to be fed by others and have to be helped to go to the toilet..."

"If I want to keep company with stability and boredom, I would rather choose adventure."

"Rather than paralyzing on a soft bed and waiting for the end, it is better for me to leave my life here."

"I know I belong here."

"So, senior, you don't have to worry about me, just let me stay here."

After saying that, she turned around and ran towards the depths of the mining area.

"She ran away...really..."

Paimon looked at Zhiqiong who suddenly ran away, and he didn't know how to evaluate it.

Sasuke shook his head. He was not very familiar with the other person. Since she said so, Sasuke didn't bother to care.

"Forget it, ignore her, let's go back to the surface first. If Wendy senses something is wrong, she will probably go up first."

After returning to the surface mining area from the secret passage, Sasuke saw Wendy with a solemn expression.

Because of Zhiqiong's delay, he came up a little slower. Wendy obviously felt something was wrong after going down, so she came back immediately.

After seeing Sasuke, Wendy asked directly:
"What do you see down there?"
