Do you recommend yourself......
After listening to Mickey's words, Luke was actually a little tangled in his heart, because she felt that things were getting more and more troublesome now.If they just ran over to pick up a task, that's okay, they just took it and left, and they didn't have to worry about other things.But now I have to recommend myself again, and I might not be able to get a place. To be honest, there are already some... embarrassing.
Turning his head to look at Pez next to him, the other party looked at him tacitly, with a little impatience in his eyes, as if telling himself that he might as well find a chance to sneak in.
To be honest, Luke is a little bit enamored with the idea now.But at this moment, Luke felt someone tug on his sleeve on his left.Turning around, Yako Kuromiya was looking at her silently, and then she leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Let's try it out, Luke, I think it's a little weird, maybe there's something we don't know about it. .”

Chapter 410 About Underground Residence
"That's... indeed, what you said makes sense."
It has to be said that Kuromiya Yako's idea is correct.Luke also felt that this time the Lingzhou government made such a big move to repair the underground residence. It is very likely that the real purpose is not just to "repair the underground residence".
"Then I'll take a look alone, and you guys stay here first." Luke explained to the others, and then followed Micky to the back of the market, the door of a room under the stone wall.
After coming here, Mickey turned around and looked at Luke with a slightly more serious face: "Be careful Miss Luke, this guy named Duan heard that he used to be a gangster, and it seems to be the same now. Pay attention as much as possible when you speak later, I'm afraid he will retaliate against you for some quarrels."
"It's okay, I have my own measure." Luke said flatly.
She really didn't pay attention to any gangsters, if she dared to mess with Luke, she would be courting death.The Rosinki gang is the best example. It was directly wiped out by Luke, and now it has disappeared.
Seeing that Luke seemed very confident, Mickey felt relieved a lot, "That's good, I sincerely wish you success, Miss Luke. Then I will leave first." After finishing speaking, Mickey took care of herself. After leaving, the strange detection machine behind her still made some noises from time to time, which made her stand out among the crowd.
Ignoring Mickey, Luke knocked on the door in front of him and shouted inside, "Is anyone there?"
"Here we come." A familiar male voice came from inside the door, and then the small peephole on the door was also opened. Behind the door stood a familiar man, who Luke met on the way home that day - Duan Huicheng .
"Isn't this the lady from that day?" Seeing the surprised expression on Luke's face, Duan Huicheng immediately asked, "What's the matter?"
"Why are you here?" Luke was also slightly surprised.
"I'm helping my uncle. This is my uncle's property."
"Is your uncle the boss here?" Luke really didn't expect this kind of development for a while, and said seriously: "Actually, I have something to ask your uncle, I heard that the mayor went to explore the underground residence Mission, there is still a place for your uncle. Do you know anything?"
Hearing this, Duan Huicheng showed a wry smile, "Yes, in fact, people have been asking about it since just now, but I didn't expect you to come too. In fact, my uncle doesn't like those ordinary adventurers. It is said that he wants to make an appointment Yes. But since it’s you, miss, I think I can talk to my uncle, and he should think about it.”
"Then trouble you."
"No trouble, no trouble, I've always wanted to repay Miss you for your kindness that day, so I'll go ask right away."
"........."
When Duan Huicheng disappeared to notify, Luke just quietly leaned against the wall and waited for his news.
To be honest, she really didn't expect Duan Huicheng to be the nephew of the boss, but it was a coincidence that she just needed his help.However, if the result is still not good, then Luke can only sneak in after thinking about it.
What she is really worried about now is whether there is really anything else in the underground residence, which people like herself don't know.If so, they will be passive.In that dark place, far away from the ground, once you fall into a passive position, it is very dangerous.
Just like that, a few minutes later, Duan Huicheng hurried back and opened the door with a happy face: "That's great, miss, my uncle said he wanted to see you and think about it, you can go there now."
"Thank you."
Walking inside, Luke found that the scene here was different from what he had imagined.There are red brick walls that have not been repaired on both sides, and a soft red carpet is laid under the feet. At intervals, a bodyguard with live ammunition is watching the surroundings vigilantly.And many of the gaps in the walls have been cracked, and it looks like it has been there for some time.
Under the guidance of Duan Huicheng, Luke walked along the aisle to the door of the deepest room.There are 6 strong-looking bodyguards here, which fully shows the status of the characters inside.
Accompanied by vigilant bodyguards, Luke enters the room.As soon as he opened the door, Luke saw a middle-aged man in a neat suit pouring a glass of bright red wine at the counter.The other party took a brief glance at himself, and then a meaningful expression appeared on his face: "Look, look, it seems that my nephew who knows nothing about the world knows a great person."
"Thank you, sir." Luke replied politely.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man seemed very satisfied, "Very well, you seem to be very polite. Sit there." The middle-aged man pointed to the sofa next to Luke, and Luke didn't shirk, and said generously Walked over and sat on it. .
The middle-aged man poured a glass of red wine and took it over, sat down in front of Luke, and said while drinking, "I have to say, miss, your blood is ten times stronger than those fools who claim to be killers I have seen in my life. times. But I don’t know you at all, it’s really rude. I’m the boss here, and my name is Duan Xi, how about you, miss?”
"My name is Luke." Luke replied simply.
"Wow, I'm still a foreigner, but that's normal. Don't talk about Lingzhou, I'm afraid there are no people like you in the entire Yan Kingdom." The man who called himself Duan Xi put down his wine glass and straightened his collar, "Anyway, I heard Said that you want to accept the task of exploring the underground residence, can you tell me the reason?"
"..." Luke hesitated for a moment, and finally replied honestly: "I need a reasonable identity to enter, and my team and I have some things to do down there."
"It's a very pertinent answer, and you are the reason for many people. I won't ask you what you want to do, but you can't do porcelain work without diamonds. You know Miss Luke, right?" There was a strange look in Duan Xi's eyes , "If you really want to have this qualification, you must first be worthy. Although I feel that you are a strong person, I must see it with my own eyes."
"What do you want to do?" Luke also realized what Duan Xi seemed to want to do.
Hearing this, Duan Xi snapped his fingers, "Go!"
The voice just fell,
The tall bodyguard standing behind Luke stretched out his hands to grab her neck.Luke's accumulated combat experience made her dodge almost subconsciously, and immediately grabbed the opponent's collar with her backhand, and fell heavily to the wall on one side, making a loud bang.
"Wow wow..." Duan Xi had an unbelievable expression on his face, and then he immediately reached out to stop him and said, "Okay, Miss Luke, I know you're not easy to mess with, let's talk about the details of the cooperation, but Don't tear down my cabin."
"Don't attack me suddenly like this, otherwise I don't know what I will do." Luke looked at Duan Xi with some displeasure.
She knew that the other party was testing her, but even if she knew it, she would feel a little uncomfortable.
Duan Xi seemed to be aware of this, and directly took out a stack of cash from the pocket of his suit and put it on the table, "Don't be angry with Miss Luke, this is my gift. I'm sorry to test you like this, but this opportunity It's not for cowards and sick people, I hope you understand."
Accepting the money calmly, Luke didn't bother to argue with Duan Xi anymore.Duan Xi also took the initiative to speak at this time, and said: "I don't know if you know, but the matter of repairing the underground residence this time is not that simple. Miss Luke, have you heard about the origin of Lingzhou?"
"Never heard of it."
"Well, the fact is that Lingzhou was a harsh jungle a long time ago. No one wanted to settle here until the appearance of the Holy Maiden of the Yellow Spirit."
"The Saintess of the Yellow Spirit?" Luke was a little puzzled, "What is that?"
"It's a person, a person who has been deified. If you go to the municipal square in Lingzhou, you will find a tall female statue, that is the legendary Holy Maiden of the Yellow Spirit." Duan Xi continued to explain, "The Holy Maiden of the Yellow Spirit She is a brave pioneer and one of the founders of Lingzhou. Although she is an ordinary person, there is conclusive evidence that she was favored by a god. After her death, her body became Spiritual veins, so that people in this terrible land will not be unable to survive."
"And the spirit vein of the Saintess of the Yellow Spirit has also become the target of some people, including some bureaucrats in Lingzhou. Those old men are already very old, but they don't want to die, so they put their hopes on it." From the legendary spirit veins, let me continue to live."
"So this so-called spiritual vein is in that abandoned underground residence, right?" Luke also guessed the follow-up of the matter.
"Yes, at least they haven't found it anywhere else. That underground residence is the last hope." Duan Xi picked up the wine glass, took another sip, and then continued: "And not only that, there are rumors that Huang Lingsheng can be found A woman can even make a wish to the saint to fulfill one of her wishes. In short, I don't pay attention to these, and I don't care about those illusory spiritual veins. And what I want you to do is very simple..."
"If there is a spiritual vein, then prevent others from getting it. If there is no best, then you can come back without doing anything."
"It seems that you want some people to die." Luke guessed Duan Xi's intention.Hearing this, Duan Xi didn't deny it, and directly admitted: "Yes, those old men must die, otherwise I won't be able to make a lot of money. Those stubborn neuropathy have always prevented the normal development of Lingzhou , I value my own face more than anything else, I can’t make any money if I go on like this. Now they still want to live forever, of course I can’t let them do what they want.”
"So that's all you want us to do, and you won't ask too much about the other things we do?"
"No, you can do whatever you like, just pay attention to some places that need attention. I believe you are not a fool. But there is one thing you need to pay attention to, that is, there seem to be some strange creatures in the ground. Some people say it is the guardian of the saint. In short, it is very dangerous, are you sure you can handle it?"
"Don't worry, I'm not fighting alone, I have my own team." Luke replied.
"That's even better. I'll give you a very good reward after it's done, definitely higher than those stingy mayors." Duan Xi showed a satisfied smile, "Have a nice cooperation, Miss Luke."
"Happy cooperation, Mr. Duan."

Chapter 410 Continuation
After getting the pass and the originally planned route map from Duan Xi, Luke chatted with Duan Xi for a while about some precautions.Luke naturally understands some of the most basic basic qualities of employment, such as confidentiality and other unpopular rules. Duan Xi simply mentioned that Luke was not stupid.
And at the end, Duan Xi emphasized that there is no map under the underground residence, so Luke and the others must not get lost, otherwise, there is really only a dead end.By the way, there are still some treasures that the previous people did not take out in the underground residence, because they had no time to take them out because of the emergency retreat. If Luke and the others see
Duan Xi said that you can take whatever you want.
Here is a brief introduction to the original plan that Duan Xi got from the mayor.
At 9:00 tomorrow morning, all personnel will gather at the entrance of the underground residence, and then follow the planned route to explore one by one.Among them, Luke noticed that the location planned by himself and others was also one of the routes, and it was the second route that was relatively close.In other words, after exploring the first route, they will immediately go to the place Luke and the others want to go, which is the planned second route.
This is undoubtedly beneficial to Luke.
And this trip is not just as simple as exploring, those who go down are also responsible for cleaning out the wormhole.Although there is no official confirmation of the source stone worms nesting below, if they are found, of course they must be eradicated at the same time.
Finally, there is a rather strange point, that is, the official request not to get close to the collapsed column.Luke is familiar with this thing, because she worked with Mickey to find three collapsed columns when she went in last time.But why the officials don't allow people to get close to the pillar easily, Luke is not very clear, and it is not written in the instructions.
After achieving his goal, Luke didn't waste any more time with Duan Xi, and left after getting up to say goodbye.
Seeing Luke leave the room, the burly bodyguard beside Duan Xi leaned over and asked softly: "Boss, is it really okay for us to trust this strange woman so much? We are completely new to her."
Duan Xi shook the red wine glass, the bright red liquid was slightly rippling, reflecting the charming brilliance under the reflection of the light: "It's okay, she doesn't look like an idiot, so we don't have to treat her as an idiot, give her a chance Look at her real ability. If she just died under there, then I can only say that I was wrong. But just now, she threw a person like a ball with one hand, and none of you present can do it, right?"
The bodyguard was ashamed when he heard the words, "I'm sorry boss, I really can't do this, and I'm afraid I can't do it with a few more brothers."
"Haha, it's okay, anyway, let's wait and see."
"…………"
Luke who left didn't pay attention to Duan Xi's words, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.She came out all the way to the door along the way she came, and left here after greeting Duan Huicheng.
Back at the place where the others were waiting, when Luke said that he had successfully negotiated, Pez obviously breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great, I'm afraid that if we come here to fetch water from a bamboo basket, it will be a waste of money in the end. You have to do it the old way."
"Then since we have obtained the pass, shouldn't we go explore the situation later? Then prepare to leave tomorrow?" Kuroiya Yako asked calmly.Luke nodded when he heard the words, "Well, that's exactly what I mean. It's rare to have such a good opportunity, so I can't just let it go."
And just as Luke and the others were preparing for the underground residence, deep in the back mountain of Ancient Lake Village...
Bei Hanguang and Xi Senli, who were out hunting, were looking for prey in the dense woods.
Dong Zeyuan has gone out with Luke and the others, so there are only two of them now.
In the lush and green forest, the sun is shining on the ground, and the ground that has just rained is very wet, and it is very easy to slip when you step on it.And under the thick old tree that has passed through many years, there are still a group of bright and colorful mushrooms.The little bird with a bright red belly stood on the branch of the tree and looked curiously at the two uninvited visitors, Bei and Xi, before flapping its wings and flying away.
"These mushrooms..." Sisenli noticed these very bright mushrooms at a glance. She came to the tree and squatted down, picked out a mushroom with a knife, put on gloves and pinched it with her hands.Bei Hanguang frowned and walked over, saying: "I know you are very interested in these things, but be careful, didn't someone get poisoned after touching it with their hands last time?"
"Stupid, it's not that easy for me to get tricked." Sisenli smiled disapprovingly, and carefully cut the mushroom in half, and the exposed cross-section exuded a pungent smell.Sisenli couldn't help but frowned when he smelled the smell, and immediately took out a small bottle specially used to hold these, and stuffed the mushrooms into it.
"The smell is too strong, not suitable for poisoning." Xi Senli said to himself, with a disappointed expression.
"Aren't those skills of yours that can poison weapons? Even if you don't collect them, it's okay." Bei Hanguang said somewhat incomprehensibly.Facing this question, Xi Senli replied flatly: "It's just my interest. My friend, the poison given by the void skill is too strange. I don't understand the ingredients at all."
"You really are a weirdo." Bei Hanguang felt a little dumbfounded.But at this moment, she suddenly smelled a strange smell, couldn't help taking a deep breath, and turned to look at Xi Senli: "Did you smell anything?"
"..." Xi Senli took a deep sniff in silence, and then replied, "It's the smell of corpses. There are corpses nearby."
Following this clue, Bei Hanguang tentatively searched nearby, but found a very scary pit.When Bei Hanguang stood at the edge of the pit and looked down, she immediately saw a very disgusting side, that is, the bottom of the pit was full of human corpses, and all of them had rotted and maggoted.
The lingering flies are like a black cloud.
Guang hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, and flicked away the flies with his hands in disgust.Sisenli also came over at this time, and after seeing the corpse in the pit, she fell silent.
"The bandits in this world will kill the robbed people to prevent revenge. Have we seen this kind of pit before?" Bei Hanguang turned to look at Xi Senli, but found that the latter's face was a little dignified.Looking into the pit following the other party's line of sight, Bei Hanguang found two relatively unique corpses on the periphery of the corpse.
One of them should be a woman judging from her appearance. She is holding a little boy in her arms tightly. It seems that she wants to protect him. It should be his mother.
Thinking of Xi's past, Bei Hanguang couldn't help but worry about her, "Xi, are you okay?"
"Hmm..." Xi Senli touched his forehead with his hand, with a sorry expression on his face, "I'm sorry I was in a daze. It's not a day or two since these people died, and they should be left by the previous robbers. Anyway, let's start Go find your prey, don't smell the stink here."
"Ok."

Chapter 410 Six Changes in the Situation of Fort Korsten
(Reminder, there is no protagonist in this chapter.)
Although he felt that there was something wrong with Xi Senli's state, Bei Hanguang, who was already very nervous, didn't take it too seriously, and after a while, he forgot all about it.They walked carefully through the dense woods, looking for today's dinner.
On Luke's side, they are also busy preparing to explore the underground residence. For the time being, it can be said that nothing happened, and there is no need to say anything. Everything is normal.But behind this routine, a bigger conspiracy is slowly being revealed.
In the mayor's office of Kiesta, L2 is dealing with some daily affairs collected by others.Ever since Kostenburg seized the actual control of the city by means, L2 has been busy every day.But she herself is a talent in this area, and L2 can easily handle tasks like clerical work, so it can't be said that it is hard work.
Just at this moment, someone knocked on the office door, and a contemptuous female voice came from outside the door: "Hello, is anyone there? If no one responds, I'll just kick the door in."
"Please come in!"
The visitor pushed open the door, and what caught L2's eyes was a slender woman with light brown long hair and a shawl.The other party was wearing the overalls of Kostenburg's technical department that L2 had an impression of not long ago, with his hands in his pockets, and a very long burn scar on his face.Although the appearance looks pretty good, but the temperament is very vicious, and there is an unbearable evil in the swaying red pupils.
"Hello, I'm Rendao, a recycling officer in the technical department who is responsible for recycling. You should know that I'm coming, right?" The woman who called herself Rendao came to L2 and said, with a hint of provocation in her eyes.But L2 didn't respond to this, and replied with a cold face: "I heard about it, please sit on the sofa over there, so that we can start."
"…………"
Seeing that L2 didn't show any fear at all, and he didn't even show a single wave of wavering.Ren Dao curled her lips, knowing that she was making fun of herself, she obediently sat on the sofa beside her, and by the way, raised her legs.
After arranging the documents he needed, L2 looked at them carefully, and then asked Rendao: "First of all, I need to confirm your mission, your mission is to recover the technological products of the Sheerson forces and the iron-masked public servant forces. right?"
"That's right, I still have a team of five, but it's just not here."
"It's okay, since you are here for this purpose, then it's easy to talk." L2 put away the document in his hand: "I will notify my subordinates to give you the green light, you just go directly."
