Chapter 8: Planning(1/5)
The night is deep. On previous years’ Divine Festival Days, even at night, the High Wall City was brightly lit and very lively. However, on this year’s Divine Festival Day, after the daytime celebrations, the High Wall City imposed a long-awaited curfew.
During the day, there was a torrential rain of blood, and many people witnessed the statue of the Eternal God in Central Park coming to life, so tonight's curfew went particularly smoothly.
A magic eagle used the cover of night to glide into the main courtyard of the treatment center and flew into the room where the vice-president's office was located.
"I'm sorry, you didn't call me when you were eating late night snacks."
Baha landed on the desk, and his feathers were a little messy. It looked like he was caught in the hands of some kind of creature with sharp claws, and then rubbed.
The facts are actually similar. The sudden change during the day on the God's Festival Day was originally thought to be caused by the Duke. However, one of the four major forces, the Wadi family, directly threw a bomb. Compared with the same period, what the Duke was planning to do was
No more fuss.
Judging from the current situation, the known plan of the Wadi family is to first take advantage of the special nature of the God's Festival Day to steal part of the divine power of the eternal god, so as to summon many extraterrestrial beings. This has also caused the Wadi family in Beicheng District to
The manor is so distorted that it already looks like a "dangerous area".
The so-called extraterrestrial beings may not come from other native worlds or the void, but exist in realms such as "between the cracks" or the "abyss erosion zone".
Under normal circumstances, no one would summon extraterrestrial beings unless they are insane. Even the evil gods are unwilling to have anything to do with those things.
At the very least, the evil gods are bad and evil, but they are negotiable, while the extraterrestrial beings are completely unknown. Some of them are a combination of negative alien energy and are extremely dangerous existences.
At this moment, there are many extraterrestrial creatures in Wadi Manor. The good news is that the High Wall Council, one of the four major forces, took this opportunity to reveal its trump card, which is the Silver Armor Brigade secretly cultivated there.
The woman in the smoke skirt that Su Xiao met before was named Anasi. This person is the leader of the Silver Armor Brigade. Speaking of the name Anasi, few people know it, but if Mrs. Yan is mentioned, few people in the high-walled city
I don't know.
The four major forces in the High Wall City have four combat forces. The Healing Church is Su Xiao, the Steam God Cult is the Duke, the High Wall Council is Anas, also known as Mrs. Yan, and the last Wadi family is
The head of the Wadi family through the generations.
It has to be said that the Wadi family is indeed full of talents, and every generation of family heads can support the Wadi family's appearance.
Speaking of Madam Yan, who currently controls the Silver Armor Brigade, we have to mention her relationship with the Duke.
When they met in front of Wadi Manor, Mrs. Yan did not hide her hostility towards the Duke at all. Some people said that the two were old friends, but later fell out due to interests. This was not the case. The Duke and Mrs. Yan were once love rivals, and the Duke is now
His wife was once the object of Mrs. Yan's love.
Su Xiao was not interested in this kind of gossip. He asked Baha to keep an eye on the activities at Wadi Manor. Now that Baha is returning, he must have gained something in kind.
After taking a few mouthfuls of food, Baha took out something and asked, "Boss, is this thing valuable?"
After saying that, Baha put down a piece of severely corroded pottery in his paw. Seeing that it was a pottery product, Su Xiao subconsciously became wary. He grabbed the crystal layer with his right hand and then picked it up to look at it.
After acquiring the pottery shards, even through the crystal layer, it is difficult to hide the biting coldness on them. This is not a physical cold, but is biased towards the spirit, thoughts, etc.
After pondering for a while, Su Xiao decided to take some risks. She currently knew too little about Wadi Manor. If she wanted to find the key to the sanctuary, she must not be afraid of risks.
The crystal layer receded from Su Xiao's hand. He touched the pale pottery piece in his hand with a small amount of mental power. The next moment, he felt that the scene in front of him changed drastically.
Gululu~
Bubbles rose in the water, and a torture instrument similar to a cast-iron woman sank in the water. This torture instrument was covered with holy white marks, and was also wrapped with circles of cloth similar to holy relics, trapping the tortured person inside to death.
Through the hole in the upper part of the cast-iron woman, one can see a beautiful face inside. But at this moment, this beautiful face is full of pain and despair of being drowned. What is even more desperate is that this beautiful woman is immortal.
, sometimes, immortality is a disaster. Just like this moment, this beautiful woman will be resurrected immediately after being drowned, and the cycle will start again.
And now, this beautiful woman, who has been trapped in the deep sea for who knows how many years, has arrived at the Wadi Manor in this world due to the summons of the Wadi family. She will kill any living creature she sets her sight on. Her heart has been filled with
The deep sea is filled with hatred, this is the daughter of pain.
Su Xiao let go of the pale pottery shard in his hand, and the illusory scene in front of him disappeared. He could not understand why the Wadi family summoned these extraterrestrial beings. As long as the head of the Wadi family, Wadi Lifak, was not out of his mind.
That's not what you should do.
The current situation is that not only did the Wadi family get nothing, but all members of the clan, including the family estate, were deformed. This also caused the four major forces in the High Wall City to become three major forces in one day.
At this time, other families in the high-walled city were like sharks attracted by the smell of blood, tearing into the flesh and blood of the Wadi family.
Su Xiao feels very confused now. The plan that the Wadi family has been planning for many years died suddenly. This... is really puzzling.
It was precisely because of this 'weird' situation that neither Su Xiao nor the Duke entered Wadi Manor immediately. Only Mrs. Yan went in despite the pressure. This is the rise of "Silver Armor", surpassing "Treatment Home" and "Wrath Hammer".
"Institution" is an excellent opportunity. Mrs. Yan actually doesn't want to enter Wadi Manor now, but she has no choice.
Su Xiao didn't care about anything else. His core goal was to find the sanctuary key in Wadi Manor, which was a key item for the promotion mission.
There is mixed news, both good and bad. Now we just have to wait for Mrs. Yan to leave Wadi Manor, or the group will be destroyed there.
Behind the desk, Su Xiao put out the cigarette in his hand. He was not prepared to take responsibility for this matter himself. If there was such a sudden change in the high-walled city, the other two major forces would definitely come forward. Therefore, the treatment center and the Wrath Hammer Agency
, it is a wise choice for the three parties of the Silver Armor Brigade to work together to deal with it.
Of course, if you can find traces of two 'good teammates' at this stage, it would also be a good choice to trick them into going deep into Wadi Manor with you.
It's a pity that the two thieves were hiding better than the other. Su Xiao didn't notice the Silent City on this side and never showed his face on the other side.
I looked at the time and saw that it was already 8:30 pm. Bubuwang was fast asleep beside him, Ammu was still having a good meal, and Baha was summarizing the intelligence obtained today. Behind the desk against the wall opposite the office, the new boss
Dean Liz was checking documents one after another, occasionally taking a breath secretly.
"..."
Su Xiao frowned. Liz was surprisingly active today. In the past few days, Liz left on time at 5:30 every day, and she was accurate to the point of counting in seconds.
It was already half past eight today, and secretary Liz had worked overtime without pay. This was very abnormal. Su Xiao just pretended not to notice and continued to sit on the leather chair and take a nap.
When the time reached half past nine, Liz glanced at Su Xiao. She was waiting for Su Xiao to praise her for her hard work, then got off the slope and told her her little request.
"Sir?"
Liz spoke tentatively.
"Um?"
Exchange good books and follow the vx official account [Book Friends Base Camp]. Follow now to receive cash red envelopes!
Su Xiao glanced at Liz, and then said: "Are you still there? Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, it's not hard."
"..."
Su Xiao stopped talking, which made Liz who was waiting to answer the call almost suffer from internal injuries. After more than half an hour, Liz took a deep breath and stood up, came to Su Xiao's desk, and said with some anxiety
:
"Sir, I would like to advance my salary."
"..."
Su Xiao looked Liz up and down. He thought he was going to say something just now, but it turned out that was all.
Opening the drawer and taking out a wad of banknotes, about 500 gold pounds, Su Xiao put it on the desk and motioned to Liz to take it.
"Sir...sir, I'm afraid this is not enough."
Speaking of this, Liz herself felt a little guilty.
"..."
Su Xiao looked at Liz again and was slightly surprised. The annual salary of a member of the treatment center was just over 4,000 gold pounds. Did you know that more than 500 gold pounds would not be enough? You know, except for the Zhongcheng District, the other four districts
A very nice private house only costs more than 1,000 gold pounds.
Su Xiao opened the drawer again, took out more than 1,000 gold pounds and threw it on the table. For him, if Liz was greedy for money, that would be pretty good. Everyone has shortcomings. For Su Xiao, it is not dangerous for his subordinates to be greedy for money.
One of the disadvantages.
Baha half-jokingly asked: "What do you need so much money for? To buy a house in Midtown?"
"Um."
Liz nodded seriously.
"Hey~, where is the real estate in Zhongcheng District so cheap? Can you introduce it to me?"
Baha became interested in this. Now the number of gold pounds that can be disposed of in the accounts of the treatment center is limited. It is always good to make a profit, which can be used to win people's hearts in the future.
"There is only one building, so it is kept secret," Liz smiled at Baha, then turned serious, and applied to Su Xiao: "Sir, I may come a little later tomorrow morning, you see..."
"..."
Su Xiao raised her hand to signal Liz to leave as soon as possible. Seeing this, Liz took the gold pound and left with satisfaction.
Looking at Liz's back, Baha muttered: "Is there such a cheap house in Midtown? I'm afraid it's a bad omen."
Baha didn't know that he was talking openly this time. Liz bought not only a haunted house, but also a top-notch haunted house. The original words of the profiteer who promoted the haunted house to Liz were: "Three days ago, the owner of this house died in an accident."
At home, that's why this house is so cheap.'
As a member of the treatment center, Liz's encounter with this kind of haunted house was no different from finding a treasure. However, the profiteer did not say anything, even the previous owners of this haunted house could not survive three days.
After Liz left, only Bubo Wang, Eminem, Baha, and Su Xiao were left in the office, ready to start refining their titles.
Through the failure of the main mission, Su Xiao consumed the eight-star title Doomsday Monarch and obtained 5 seven-star titles (without attributes). In other words, as long as he now has a seven-star combat title, he can use it in a safe way.
, burned into the title of Eight Stars.
As for this combat title, Su Xiao had already chosen it. It is the existing five-star title, [Dark Blue Shadow].
