Chapter 40 Undercurrent(1/2)
Qin Ran is no stranger to the marked places on the map.
Because, it was almost where he last met with Carls.
Thinking of the guy who was still killed when he returned to his room, Qin Ran frowned. He knew very well that the silence was just the peace before the storm.
A storm will come at any time.
And he?
We need to accumulate more strength before the storm comes.
Thinking of this, Qin Ran didn't stay for a long time and boarded the train-like train to the outer city of the huge city.
...
In the dark room, there were still five people surrounding the table.
"Latest news, 2567 went to the outer city to look for the 'sword-casting master' Esled."
A man said slowly.
“This is an opportunity.”
The person opposite said in a deep voice.
"Chance?"
"The last time I sent someone to test, you said it was an opportunity."
"How can it be turned out?"
"I have trained several of my men carefully, but none of them came back, and they died inexplicably!"
The person on one side snorted coldly.
"At least their deaths are valuable."
"We know there are some guys hiding around."
The person in the corner said lightly.
"The reason why you can say such words calmly is because you are not yours!"
The person who snorted coldly before said angrily.
"The dead person is dead."
“What we need to face is now.”
"The four of us will give you the corresponding compensation, and then..."
"What should I do about this time?"
The first person who spoke was obviously the leader of the five people. No one opposed what he said, just as when he looked at the person who never spoke from beginning to end, the eyes of the remaining three people also fell on the person who seemed to be integrated with the shadow.
"Watch the changes."
"Neither the 'Sword of Dawn'2567 and the 'Sword Forging' Asleddie' are fools. If we really provoke their fight, what do you think will happen in the end?"
"More than 80% will be besieged by two people."
"Are you ready to go to war with them?"
asked the man who blended into the shadow.
With such questions, all four of them were silent.
The answer is obvious.
They don't.
Because they need to face not only two powerful entry-level people, but also the guys behind them.
Think about the 'lone walkers' in the Harvest Tavern?
One of them seems to be alone, but one of them is particularly good at relationships and lawlessness, which is definitely a group of people.
Not to mention the tavern owner's wife.
What the other party represents has long exceeded the imagination of ordinary players.
As for the ‘Sword Forging’ Esled?
The skills that the other party has mastered have long been destined to have a large group of people willing to cooperate with the other party.
A legendary long sword is enough to allow the level-level person to join the opponent's camp and serve the opponent.
"Then what should we do?"
"The guy 'broker' finally miscalculated once. We can't just sit here and do nothing, right?"
The slightly irritable person broke the silence.
"Of course not."
"But we're going to make a change!"
"Didn't you notice that we had too many eyes on 2567 before!"
"I think that bastard is laughing so hard that he can't stop laughing now."
The person in the shadow kept his voice unchanged and said in a meticulous tone.
"2567 is the same as the 'broker'?"
The slightly irritable man said subconsciously, but as soon as he said that, he found that the remaining four people looked at him with the eyes of the idiot.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm just talking about a possibility."
"Isn't this possible?"
Although the irritable man knew that he had said something wrong, he definitely had no idea of changing his words and started to mess around.
However, everyone here knows the other person's personality and no one cares about him anymore.
"What are we going to do now?"
asked the person in the corner.
“‘Guardian’!”
"From the beginning to the end, the goal of the 'broker' is the 'guardian', or the 'witch's legacy', 2567. The killer player is just the smoke bomb he released."
"That guy is probably already in action now."
The man in the shadow said.
"Then we have to hurry up."
The leader's tone sank.
No one wants to fall behind others.
Lean behind one step, fall behind one step.
Everyone here knows this.
Especially when this leading man is a ‘broker’, it makes people feel even more restless.
"Don't hurry."
“The ‘broker’ has his own way.”
“We have our own way, too.”
"We can't hurry to catch up with the 'broker', it will only cause us to fall into his rhythm and be led by him, just like the previous few times."
The man in the shadow said.
"you mean?"
The four of them looked at the person in the shadow at the same time.
"Using our rhythm, we disrupted the rhythm of the 'broker'."
"Then, let him get into our rhythm."
A chuckle came from the shadow.
...
Qin Ran stood on the edge of a huge city, looking at the blurry marginal place in the distance.
There is not only darkness, but also a kind of turbidity, like a chaos, where a continuous fleet of robots is being built.
Brand new streets, brand new houses.
“This is about to become a normal neighborhood.”
"The new outer city area is about to expand outward again."
Qin Ran looked at the house that was rising rapidly in front of him and thought silently in his heart.
To be continued...
