Chapter 488: Passed Out
living room.
Lin Qiye, Cao Yuan, Baili Pangpang, Jia Lan, and Zhou Ping sat at the table with serious expressions...
Except Zhou Ping.
"Senior Sword Master, the strength of that Fengmai Earth Dragon has already surpassed our ability, so..." Lin Qiye said carefully.
"Leave it to me." Zhou Ping nodded slightly, "However, I can't feel its breath in this city now."
"Could they have left here?" Baili Pangpang couldn't help asking, "After all, it was more than ten days ago that they attacked the 008 team. After such a long time, they have no reason to continue Stay in Lintang, right?"
Lin Qiye frowned slightly, thinking for a long time...
"No, it's unlikely." Lin Qiye said slowly, "[Believers] took the initiative to attack the night watchman squad. This kind of thing has never happened before, which means that if it is not necessary, they will not take the initiative to provoke the local night watchmen. Human team, not to mention a top-ranked team like 008."
"Could it be that they are not [believers] at all? What Jiang Er heard was just a cover?"
"I don't think they're going to lie to a bunch of dead bodies."
"Too……"
"If they are indeed [believers], and they took the initiative to kill the local night watchman squad, then I can only think of one possibility." Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly, "They want to do a big thing, and this big thing is in the During the process, it may be discovered by the 008 team and reported to the high-level...
They don't allow this kind of thing to happen, so they don't hesitate to use the first seat, but also quietly kill the 008 team. As long as they die, no one will be able to inform the higher-ups.
From this assumption, many things can be deduced.
For example, there is a certain limitation in this matter, and it can only be done in Lintang City.
If they had a choice, they could completely avoid Lintang City and go to Anta County, a city where the night watchman's defenses are weak, and they would rather stay here under the pressure of the 008 team, which means they have no choice. .
In other words, they were probably still in Lintang City. "
After listening to Lin Qiye's explanation, a look of sudden realization appeared on the faces of everyone.
"Then where should we start our investigation?" Cao Yuan asked.
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, "Fatty, go to Jiang Er and ask, has anything strange happened in Lintang City recently?"
Baili Fatty hummed and walked into the laboratory.
After a while, he returned to the living room.
"Jiang'er said that due to limited ability, she couldn't leave her body, so she didn't know the situation in the city very well, but... the recent earthquakes in Lintang seem to be more frequent."
"earthquake?"
"She said that after Team 008 was killed, there were three earthquakes in more than ten days. Although the magnitudes were very mild, earthquakes are too rare in Lintang, so they are considered strange."
Lin Qiye leaned back in the chair, slowly closed his eyes, tapped his knuckles on the table unconsciously, and concentrated on thinking.
[Believers], Team 008, first seat, earthquake...
"Could it be that what they are going to do is underground?" Lin Qiye muttered to himself.
If the target of the other party is underground, then things will be easier to handle. He and Anqingyu's extensive network is dedicated to searching the underground, but the problem is that it takes time for Anqingyu's rat tide to form, and it is daytime now, so it is impossible to mobilize nocturnal creatures to investigate ...
"Well, Jia Lan and I will go to the Geological Bureau to check for clues related to the earthquake. Cao Yuan, Pangpang, you two go to the streets to visit and see if there are any strange things happening in Lintang City recently besides the earthquake." Lin Qiye quickly made a decision.
"it is good."
"Senior Juggernaut, do you want to go to the Geological Bureau with us, or to visit with them?" Lin Qiye looked at Zhou Ping.
The corners of Zhou Ping's mouth twitched slightly, "I, I... I think it's enough for you to go, I'll just wait here, and if I notice any strange breath fluctuations, I'll shoot directly."
"……also."
After assigning the tasks, Lin Qiye, Jia Lan, Cao Yuan, and Pangpang immediately set off and left in different directions.
...
Lintang City.
manor.
underground.
Shen Qingzhu moved his hands away from the gray altar, glanced around, and lightly pressed his hands on his temples, walking a little erratically, pretending to be mentally exhausted.
"Xiao Shen, take a rest."
The ninth seat walked by him, his complexion was a little pale, and his mental strength seemed to be exhausted a lot.
Shen Qingzhu nodded, and the two walked up the stairs to the yard, feeling the long-lost sunshine, and breathed a sigh of relief.
For more than two months, apart from sleeping and eating every day, they went underground to pour spiritual power into the altar. Shen Qingzhu almost thought that [believers] had changed their careers to become slaves...
Of course, on the surface he worked very hard, but it was impossible for him to pour his spiritual power into it.
This altar is too weird. Although I don't know what will happen after it is fully activated, it is definitely not a good thing. If Shen Qingzhu pours less spiritual power, its activation time will be later, and the probability of changes will be greater. Some.
But what puzzled him was that it had been such a long time, and several minor earthquakes had occurred during the revival of the altar. Why hadn't the night watchman team stationed in Lintang responded yet?
During this period, Shen Qingzhu tried to find an opportunity to leave the manor several times, and passed on the information secretly, but firstly, he didn't know where the night watchman of Lintang was stationed, and secondly, he had no chance to leave the manor.
For more than two months, their daily necessities have been purchased by the seventh and ninth seats, and they will purchase a month's share at a time. Even if Shen Qingzhu wants to leave here, there is no suitable excuse.
In the courtyard, the ninth seat took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one for himself, and handed another to Shen Qingzhu.
Shen Qingzhu snapped his fingers lightly, two clusters of flames ignited, and lit the cigarette butt.
The Ninth Seat took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, "The altar's spiritual power is almost poured in, and it is estimated that it will fully recover in two or three days. I really have had enough of this kind of ghost life..."
Shen Qingzhu's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard these words.
He flicked the cigarette ash, and said slowly: "This kind of life is really not human, it is using us as slaves..."
"After all, it is Master Yuyu's order, even if you are a little tired, there is nothing you can do." The ninth seat shook his head.
"That's right." Shen Qingzhu seemed to have remembered something, "The food in the manor is all gone, and there may be another purchase."
Hearing this sentence, the ninth seat let out a long sigh.
"What's wrong?" Shen Qingzhu asked.
"You have never gone shopping with that woman in the seventh seat. Going out shopping with her is really more tiring than being a slave here." The ninth seat staggered up from the ground and walked towards the house, "I'm going Tell her to go and buy everything before it gets dark, I really don't want to go out tomorrow."
"Are you in good condition?" Shen Qingzhu stood up, "Your mental strength is overdrawn, and you feel like you're about to pass out."
"Well... it shouldn't be a big problem." The ninth seat waved his hand.
Shen Qingzhu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the back of the ninth seat leaving, as if hesitating for something.
In the end, he made up his mind and followed the ninth seat.
He stretched out his hand and lightly patted the ninth seat on the back.
A sense of dizziness caused by lack of oxygen suddenly rushed to the heart of the ninth seat. He rolled his eyes and fell back straight.
Shen Qingzhu reached out to catch him, looked at the comatose pale face, and muttered to himself:
"I said...you're about to pass out."
