Wrong place, my team members are from the daily program

"what ever."

Lulu ignored Xia Jia and went into the basement on her own.

Two minutes later, Xia Jia also followed.

"Have you found anything?"

The basement was in a mess, Xia Jia held his nose, the red light of the "zone" in his pupils never faded, all the muscles in his body were controlling his internal organs, preventing him from vomiting on the spot.

It was the first time he had seen such a horrific murder scene, if it wasn't for the "zone" to perfectly control his body, he would probably be ashamed again.

Adapt, adapt.

Xia Jia took a deep breath, and a stench flooded into his nostrils again.

ultra!

Fortunately, Tushou and the others were not involved in this matter...

"Are you okay?" Lulu patted Xia Jia's shoulder indifferently.

"No, it's fine."

"First time? Need me to guide you? It's all small scenes for me."

"No, no need." Xia Jia was sweating, not in the mood to complain.

"Have you found out the identities of these people?"

Lulu straightened her face, pointed to a cage with the door open, and said solemnly:

"It is indeed those people yesterday, they are all ordinary people, and there is only one lv2 adventurer.

Moreover, I sensed a curse in the cellar, and it turned out that the monster broke through the cage, so it took revenge. "

"It can use curses at will, and it kills everyone very neatly, without anyone noticing."

His thoughts turned, and Xia Jia looked at the huge iron cage, which was not destroyed violently from the inside. Enduring his nausea, he continued to check around the cage.Sure enough, the key was found next to a corpse that had lost its arm.

"It seems that they opened the cage by themselves, but why?"

"I might have guessed that."

Lulu pinched her chin and thought for a moment, then pointed to the structure of the iron cage and said:

"This cage is sealed on all sides and is made of expensive and refined metal. For some reason, these mercenaries are worried about the goods they are delivering, so they want to confirm the inspection, so they open the cage on their own initiative."

Xia Jia questioned: "They don't know what they are transporting?"

"It's a normal situation."

Lulu pinched the metal cage and explained: "For mercenaries, as long as they know that they are transporting things, it doesn't matter what the goods are."

Lulu pouted her lips: "Master Hermes often receives similar entrustments, and we will check it ourselves out of curiosity, so we have obtained a lot of valuable information."

Xia Jia pondered for a moment, then opened his narrowed eyes: "Since this is the case, there is only one problem left."

"According to the old shop manager, the businessman named Baker and the lv3 guard are missing here! Also, let me ask you [Mud Dog], which family does the lv2 adventurer who died belong to?"

Xia Jia had a vague guess in his heart, and only had to verify it.

"The whereabouts of the merchant will be known when the old man wakes up. As for the family members..." Lulu said with a strange expression, "It's Ikelos."

Xia Jia's expression froze.

really……

Chapter 32 Heresy

"Hey, it's obviously a family member who has been missing for several years, why would you, a country boy, know?"

Lulu made a sly face. According to Hermes, this kid should be from a small village.

Xia Jia said calmly: "This is a family secret, you should ask God Hermes."

Lulu pinched 'cut', held her head and asked, "So, your conclusion?"

What should I say?

Xia Jia organized his language a little bit, and said slowly: "I wonder if you have ever seen a monster with super high intelligence?"

"Oh?" Lulu showed a curious expression, motioning to continue.

Xia Jia pointed to the key on the ground, the iron cage, and the tragic battlefield around him, and speculated: "Now, let's tentatively assume that this monster possesses intelligence that is comparable to that of humans."

"Then, we made a guess. It had already figured out the fighting power of the mercenaries. After learning that its strongest fighting power had left, it lured the guards to open the cage and escape from the prison."

Lulu raised a question:

"Since it's a guess, then ordinary monsters can do what you said."

"That's what I said, the reason for having wisdom."

Xia Jia analyzed: "You should be clear that as a commodity, in order to ensure the quality, even monsters should have been "trained".Even if it is not pleasing to the eye, it should be restricted by some kind of magic item. "

"The high probability of buying them is still the nobles of various countries. In order to ensure the safety of buyers, there must be precautions. At least there are matching collars, otherwise it is courting death."

"That's right." Lulu agreed: "So, isn't it impossible for monsters to have accidents at all?"

Xia Jia said in a deep voice:

"That's what I'm going to say next. From the moment it was captured, that magical beast was showing weakness, pretending to be obedient and obedient, in order to gain the trust of the seller, and now, when the time is right, it will escape in one fell swoop. "

"Hiss—" Lulu sucked in a breath of cold air: "This is no longer the intelligence that a monster should have! Are you sure? It is completely unbelievable that a monster has intelligence or something."

Xia Jia himself can't be too sure, the conclusion is still deduced from the result of knowing that the seller has Ikelus involved, and speculating that it may be a heretic.

It can be said to be a kind of God's perspective.

And the appearance of high intelligence in monsters is not exclusive to heretics, and some enhanced species that have swallowed a large amount of magic stones will also have a similar situation.

such as……

The moss giant in the main story.

It's just that kind of intelligence, it's better to say it's a strengthened hunting instinct.

"It's just..." Xia Jia said with a frowning face, "If this is what I speculated, it has nothing to do with the remnants of the dark faction that I want to investigate that made [enhanced species]?"

Your clues are wrong?

You know, although Ikelos is closely related to the dark faction, they are not the ones who make troubles in general. They seem to care more about making money than making troubles.

The masters of the man-made labyrinth - the Daedalus family.Its purpose is to collect materials for the construction of man-made mazes, and to help the dark faction is also to use them to collect money.

Lulu looked at Xia Jia's frowning expression, and couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder:

"It's okay, even if the two don't matter, since you helped me, I'll stay and help you."

"Oh?" Xia Jia wondered, "What are you planning?"

"It's nothing, that thing ran away, and the mastermind behind it is nowhere to be found."

Lulu said helplessly: "My task is only to confirm what the goods are. Now that I know the truth, I have no reason to continue."

"As for what will happen to the escaped monster, please ask the Astoria family. Aren't you the guard of justice? You shouldn't let innocent people fall into crisis."

Is it so shameless? ...

Xia Jia's eyes widened: "You're leaving troubles to me like this? Don't forget, I've only been an adventurer for a week!"

Lulu narrowed her eyes: "So it's not like I said, I will stay and help a little bit. Besides, I just saw your skills, and you don't look like a newcomer."

"That is……"

"I know, I know. It's a family secret." Lulu interrupted with a wave of her hand.

Xia Jia was silent for a few seconds, "So... what do you mean by helping?"

Lulu squeezed: "Look at the house."

"Huh?"

"Literally." Lulu smiled and said, "Help you guard Master Astoria, so that you can free your hands and feet to do things."

"you……"

"Don't be in a hurry to object, besides, even if you guard Lady Astoria yourself, can you make sure that there will be no accidents?" Lulu reminded.

Even if the cat-like monster was injured, its speed was not inferior to that of lv2, and it was caught off guard, and even knocked back Lulu's lv3 by several steps.

Plus the possible cursed properties...

The most important thing is that the god's 'safety mode' is only effective for children in the lower world, but it can't prevent monsters!

Xia Jia said in a heavy tone: "I see, the goddess will entrust you until the culprit is found."

"Hey, shouldn't it be before finding the cat demon?"

"If this is the case, I will give priority to dealing with abnormal monsters outside the city."

"Okay, cunning brat." Lulu stuck out her tongue, her expression indifferent.

……

city ​​of swords,

The noon sun shines on the street, and the crowds coming and going make noisy conversations.The dark and deep alley opposite this street is in stark contrast to the bustling and bright street.

A black shadow trembled and limp in the shadows, and slowly opened its scarlet eyes.

"Hmph, stupid human beings, you can't think of it, but Master Miaomiao escaped! Hiss——"

Heiying thought to himself, the bloody wounds all over his body made him gasp suddenly.

As time passed, the black shadow gradually squirmed and turned into a black kitten with an octopus-like collar with tentacles wrapped around its neck, and the orb exuded a crimson brilliance.

"Those stupid humans must never have imagined that Lord Meow can use a curse to counter their curse!"

Master Meow licked the wound and lay quietly on the spot.

Although those humans were stupid, defeating them also took a lot of strength from Miaomiao-sama, and one of them even caused her a lot of damage.

"Cool cool. When you arrive in the underworld, let's publicize the greatness of this cat. The existence that can hurt this cat is worth showing off the great achievements of a lifetime!"

"If you want to talk about why, it's because this meow bears the power of the supreme being—Lord Behemoth, the overlord of the earth, and the shadow of despair who is about to rule the ground—Master Meow!"

"Cool, cool, Meow is different from those idiot compatriots. Meow, who is born with the wisdom of the king, will definitely come to the surface of the earth! Fulfill the long-cherished wish of my mother! Meow ha ha ha!"

The black cat looked at the earth scorched by the scorching sun, and cried out in its soul: "Just wait, sooner or later, meow will make the night cover the sky!"

"Meow~meow~meow!"

Thinking of this, Master Miaomiao roared excitedly.

"Ah, there are kittens!"

At this time, the passing children saw Mr. Meow, and walked over holding Mr. Meow's hand.

【"You, what are you going to do? Stupid human beings, stop your rude behavior, if you come again, I will curse you!"】

Master Meow looked terrified, arched his body, his hair exploded, and let out a roar of "down".

"Mom, it seems to be hurt." The little boy said sympathetically.

"Hey, don't touch it, dirty, this kind of injured cat is not safe, it will get sick." The mother stopped the child.

"But it looks pathetic."

"Then, let's give it something to eat and go. It will get better when it's full." Mother persuaded, took out the dried fish, and put it in front of Master Meow.

Master Meow's eyes lit up: "Ah, this fragrant magic power is the best wealth for demons!"

Then he suddenly realized something, and shook his head crazily: "No, no, stupid human being, do you think I will be tricked again by using the same method?"

"I, the wise Master Miaomiao, will not be fooled by the same trap!"

Recalling the experience of being tempted by a mere small fish, and thus being caught and put in a cage, Mr. Miaomiao became vigilant.

"But... ah~ this rich fragrance, golden color~ I really want to eat..."

Chapter 33 News from the School District

After investigating the wine cellar, the two did not leave directly. After waiting for the store manager to wake up, Xia Jia got another clue.
