Chapter 25 Dialogue

Listening to the sound of training coming from the basement, Kewen walked towards the store door.

Originally, I planned to look for a scapegoat tomorrow morning.

But Fandel's worries are correct. It's better to find the person as soon as possible to collude with him to make a confession.

Anyway, the trouble caused by Wei and the others is huge, and the news should be spreading rapidly throughout the rift valley, so those alchemy barons should not have rested yet.

So Ke Wen walked out of the repair shop, walked along the dark alley to the elevator, and took the elevator to the middle square area.

Spending a silver gear to find a thug wandering the street to lead him, Coven was soon taken to the office of an alchemist baron.

Ke Wen directly stated his intention. Unfortunately, although the alchemist baron had many child workers, he could only provide a substitute for Milo.

Because the alchemist baron didn't have a pink-haired girl like Wei, nor a blue-haired one like Explosion, and he couldn't even find a fat boy like Craig.

There was no other way, so Kewen had to spend a hundred gold gears to take away a little skinny boy.

After walking out of the factory, Ke Wen told the little boy directly about the accusation.

The result was not beyond his expectation.

Hearing that he could go to jail in the upper city for the crime, the thin boy happily agreed!

After all, no matter how painful the prison is, there will be no poisonous haze and poisonous water like Dicheng.

After going to prison, the little boy will no longer have to risk his life or death to clean the pipes.

Likewise, he no longer has to worry about food and drink every day.

No longer have to accept exploitation at the hands of the Alchemist Baron just for a mouthful of food that is hard to swallow.

Zu An is so cruel...

Coven didn't feel pity or anything.

He told the little boy to go to the bar in the dark alley to find Fander, and then he continued walking to the next area, looking for thugs wandering the streets.

After more than two hours, Coven finally gathered four scapegoats.

He returned to the dark alley with the last little blue-haired girl in her teens,

and went directly to Vandel's bar.

Everyone gathered in the basement of the bar, and Wei and Bangbao also rushed over after training.

Looking at the four scapegoats who had similar appearance to them, the four little guys from the Blue Bird Gang couldn't help but fell silent.

They seemed to see themselves in the scapegoat.

At the same time, they finally realized the mistake they made in this incident!

Facing the curious gazes of the scapegoats, Wei and the others were completely embarrassed to face them.

Milo and Craig huddled in the shadowed corner of the basement, their hearts twitching.

Wei and Bangbao stayed within the range of the candlelight.

Bangbao lowered his head to avoid sight, silently wiping away tears.

Wei's eyes were bloodshot!

She forced herself to face the gazes of the four scapegoats.

Wei's fists were clenched so hard that her joints creaked, and her whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Her gums were bleeding from her bite, and Wei's breathing was extremely heavy.

Neither Coven nor Fandel said anything to comfort him.

The two of them moved in unison, leaning against the wall and watching.

After a long time, Wei gradually loosened her fists.

She took a deep breath to calm her body.

With a dry and hoarse voice, Wei suppressed her emotions and spoke in a deep voice: "I swear!

"

She slowly scanned the faces of the four scapegoats.

Keeping every face firmly in his mind, Wei almost growled and promised: "I swear! When I succeed in my studies, I will definitely go to the upper city to rescue you!"

! "

"Goodbye."

Vi's stand-in chuckled nonchalantly.

She waved her hands and said: "We finally escaped from the lower city. Although we went to jail for you, at least we don't have to worry about food and accommodation in the jail. If you rescue us, then wouldn't we have to go to jail every day?" Are you risking your life and death to drill into the pipeline?"

"I..." Wei was speechless for a moment.

After another moment of silence, she gritted her teeth and said forcefully: "One day! I want to let Zu'an never have any more tragedies!

One day!

I want to make Zaun an upper city!

! "

"Then come on."

Wei's stand-in had suffered too much and had no illusions in her heart, so after hearing Wei's heroic words, she didn't take it to heart at all.

After a perfunctory sentence, the substitute took the initiative to end the topic.

She looked at Coven and Fandel: "Should we start earlier? There is a child among us. She should need more time to remember the confession."

With a sigh, Fandel lowered his arms and ordered the four members of the Blue Bird Gang: "Start from the beginning. Don't miss every detail of your trouble this time."

Listening to Fandel's extremely dull tone, Wei couldn't help but tremble and clenched her fists again.

After a while, she dropped her shoulders feebly and began to recall the whole story of this operation.

…

…

There is a large abandoned land in the area near the seaside of the Rift Valley.

Because hurricanes often blow into the rift valley, this area as a wind outlet is not suitable for people to survive.

There are large areas of abandoned buildings in this area, which are overgrown with various algae, and the buildings have been severely corroded by the humid sea breeze.

There is an underground space hidden inside an abandoned factory.

This was originally a normal building, but it sank under the water with the fall of Zaun.

Fortunately, this building did not collapse with the fall of Zaun, and the building was well preserved.

Even though it is now in an underwater area, there is still no seawater that can leak into the building.

While the confession was going on at the bar, another conversation was also going on in the underwater room that had been converted into a laboratory.

The room wasn't too dark.

The moonlight penetrated the water and dyed the water into a hazy blue color.

The light penetrated into the room through the huge glass window, giving the room a cold shimmer.

But there are other colors in the interior.

Pink and cyan became the main colors.

Its light comes from the alchemical potions on each test bench.

Those alchemy potions emitted fluorescence, and the light was mixed together, creating a warm light for this secret room under the water, and thus dispelling the coldness of the basement.

At this time, a broken wooden chair was placed in the middle of the empty space in the basement.

There was a young man sitting on it, it was the yellow-haired gangster who was beaten up when Xiang Wei and the others failed in the afternoon.

The restless little Huang Mao was no longer arrogant, but was looking around with a look of fear on his face.

On either side of him stood two thugs.

One of the thugs had a strong physique, even taller than Fandel, and his exposed body muscles were like cement pillars.

The other thug is much smaller.

But he was playing with a sharp short knife in his hand, and the cruelty in his eyes was undisguised. He kept looking at the yellow-haired gangster's body, as if he was thinking about the best place to strike.

This knife-like sight made Xiao Huangmao swallow his saliva continuously.

His face was dripping with cold sweat, and the hole continued to shrink. After shrinking to the limit, it rebounded and expanded, but continued to shrink rapidly.

Huang Mao, who had a slightly twisted expression of fear, was now as pitiful as a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

At this time, an unhurried voice sounded from a shadow in the room: "Can you take responsibility for what you said?"

The yellow-haired gangster immediately looked towards the shadow.

He nodded repeatedly: "Yes sir! I can! The explosion in the upper city was definitely caused by them! I heard the sound in that backpack! It is definitely full of high-end goods!"

"Then you should have just followed."

The figure in the dark raised his head and dropped some drops into his eyes, and continued to speak calmly: "Instead of taking action directly."

After dripping the potion, the figure slowly turned around, causing a little redness to appear in the shadow.

The red man stared at the yellow-haired gangster, and the figure lectured in a superior tone: "If you finally find their whereabouts, you can come and threaten them, so that you can easily share their harvest, instead of losing like today. He ran back and complained."

"Yes... I'm sorry, sir!" Huang Mao nervously admitted his mistake: "I see there are two girls among them, one of them is only ten years old! We didn't expect them to be so good at fighting!"

"Can fight..."

The figure in the darkness pondered for a moment.

He fiddled with the eye drops in his hand, and then asked in a low voice: "From the dark alley?"

"Yes sir!" Huang Mao replied urgently: "They are definitely not from the upper or middle classes!"

"Dark alley..."

The figure murmured and sneered in a complicated tone.

Then he teased and said: "Now, their accomplices will be able to ask about you. You made me take a completely unnecessary risk."

“We can fight back sir!

"

The yellow-haired gangster was anxious to provide strategies: "Sir! We can use the topic as an excuse! They were responsible for the explosion in the upper city! The people in the upper city are mad! Law enforcement officers are hunting them everywhere! I can leak the news! Let people I know it was those losers in the dark alley who did it!"

"rare……"

The figure chuckled.

He slowly stood up from the chair and stepped out of the shadows.

The bright lines spread upward from its legs, and finally cut across the figure's face and hair, completely exposing it to the light.

It was a thin man, and the slight redness was the mechanical prosthetic eyes installed in his eyes.

Centered around the left eye, the skin on the man's left face was twisted and wrinkled as if the muscles had atrophied.

He was wearing a dress suit with cut sleeves, a red shirt and a white tie, and his clothes were buttoned meticulously.

If Fandel were here, he would definitely recognize him immediately!

That was the man who once wanted to organize the second bridge rush! That Fander's former companion, the one who had completely broken with Fander - Hilko!

Judging from Hilko's appearance, the other party has obviously done well in recent years.

This underwater building, the various alchemy tools and materials in the room, and even the thugs and gangsters under his command.

None of this is something that a down-and-out person can have!

At this time, Hilko, who had stepped out of the shadows, was looking at the yellow-haired gangster.

The stiff left face showed no expression, but the normal right face had a slightly raised mouth.

Hilko must be in a good mood.

He came to the yellow-haired gangster, looked down at him and then said with a chuckle: "You are lucky, because you brought me some good news, are you from the dark alley? Fandel is in trouble."

"Very well, boy, I'm very pleased with the news you brought me."

Hilko waved his hand: "Give him a meal."

Two thugs, one strong and one thin, immediately and roughly grabbed the yellow-haired gangster's arms.

Just as they were about to walk out, Hilko stopped the thug of normal size again: "You stay here for a moment."

After the strong thug dragged the yellow-haired gangster away, Hilko ordered the remaining thug: "Go and find out the news. There must be a law enforcement officer going to the dark alley. I want to know who is here."

Hilko took out two gold coins from his pocket and flicked them into his hands: "I hope you can bring me the same good news."

"Leave it to me, sir!" The thug collected the gold coins and made a promise: "Those hyenas in the upper city are greedy! As long as they have money, they will say anything!"

"ASAP."

Hilko said something in a low voice, then turned around and looked at the deep water outside the large glass window.

The thug immediately turned and retreated.

When the footsteps faded away, Hilko took his eyes away from the giant monster fish swimming in the deep water.

He turned to look at the alchemy table located in the corner of the room.

"Singed." Silko asked softly to the thin man who was shaking a test tube: "How long will it take? The time has come for us to show off our ambitions, and I don't want to miss such a perfect opportunity."

"It should be soon."

The man named Singed was in his fifties, with a pair of high cheekbones protruding from his thin cheeks.

His eyeballs looked a bit leaky because the holes were so small that the two eyeballs were almost completely filled with the whites of his eyes.

At this time, Singed responded and put the test tube in his hand back on the table.

Then he pulled out a test tube containing pink fluorescent liquid from the wooden rack holding the test tube.

He turned to Hilko and said: "Actually, it is considered a success now, it just has some more effects."

"What's extra?" Hilko asked happily.

"Out of control?" Singed stared at the alchemy potion in his hand and said, "Maybe it also has chaotic consciousness and addiction? I'm not too sure. It requires a lot of human experiments to get the results."

"Please demonstrate." Hilko's tone was slightly expectant.

Singed didn't refuse.

He walked to a test box enclosed by glass and poured the alchemical potion in the test tube into the feeding tank.

After glancing at the mouse in the test box, Singed walked not far away and picked up a hairless cat.

Opening the test box, he threw the ugly hairless cat in, and then locked the test box completely.

clang! clang!

Knocking on the glass with his finger, Singed whispered: "It's time to eat."

After saying this, he unscrewed the machine wrench next to him, causing the alchemy potion in the feeding tank to start flowing down.

The mouse in the test box immediately crawled over, stood up, and caught the port of the thin metal tube with its mouth.

The liquid was swallowed by the rat, and soon, the rat suddenly let out a shrill scream.

Hilko had already walked over, and he and Singed were observing the scene inside the test box.

Under their gaze, the mouse's body was rapidly deforming.

The fangs and sharp teeth proliferated rapidly, the mouse's eyes were completely covered in red, and its size quickly surpassed that of the hairless cat as its muscles expanded.

The next moment, the stable mouse suddenly pounced towards the hairless cat!

There was a miserable cat cry, and blood and cracks instantly covered the glass wall of the test chamber.

Looking at the rat monster inside that was gnawing at the cat corpse, the right corner of Hilko's mouth slightly raised again...
