In the conference room.
Hades did not appear immediately.
Instead, he waited until all the managers were noisy for a while before belatedly opening the door.
Looks quite young?
Su Mo raised his eyebrows in surprise, becoming interested in the man who walked in and seemed to be only thirty years old at most.
Hades was seen wearing a black and red silk robe, a dark orange ruffled belt around his waist, and a pair of shiny leather short boots.
There are fine and flowing hair on the top of the head, bright eyes under the eyebrows, and a slender figure.
He looks like a British gentleman, but also has a hint of a sinister bar lothario.
And similar to Katarina, even though Hades is over a hundred years old, he still looks young.
There are even fewer wrinkles on his face than Catalina.
There was a hint of surprise on the faces of many managers present, and some elderly managers even exclaimed.
Hades is not a figure of this era, but the manager of their fathers and even their grandfathers.
Many people have the impression that even when he was young, he should have gray hair and be on the verge of death.
but now.
"Welcome all managers of Qinggang City, welcome to attend the meeting, I'm glad to see you!"
Looking at the surprised faces, the man had a sunny smile on his face. While smiling, he walked to a seat that nominally belonged to the northern suburbs but was actually only home to the Qinggang Shelter Family and sat down.
"Well, it seems that there are no old faces here. It's a pity. When I wake up this time, things have changed again."
Hades glanced back and forth, feeling a little emotional.
Since he chose to sleep, he can only wake up and move for one month every fifteen years on average, and then he has to continue sleeping when he is done.
This method directly resulted in him not recognizing any of the managers present, especially the names on the nameplates, which were even more unfamiliar.
"Of course Master Hades doesn't know us. In fact, we don't know you either."
A manager from the southern suburbs said in a strange way.
"Besides, we are not as free as you. There are a lot of things that need to be managed in the shelter. I envy you for being able to just sleep and let the people below casually create so much mess."
"Hey, this Mr. Nelson has a really bad temper. I see he is from the Nadib Shelter. I still remember that the manager I spoke to last time was Alvin."
Hades said nonchalantly:
"I did something wrong in this matter. I failed to discipline the people below, which caused a lot of trouble to everyone and the city."
He stood up and bowed sincerely in three directions.
Regardless of whether this was a sincere expression or not, Sumo raised his eyebrows with interest as he was able to do this.
not simple.
No matter what he said, Hades was at least very clear-headed about being able to bend and stretch in front of a group of juniors.
His apology immediately put smiles on the faces of those managers in the eastern suburbs who remained neutral.
After all, this war has not affected them at all, and now they are naturally willing to give Hades this face and do a favor.
Managers in the southern suburbs who had been ready to launch an attack saw this behavior and could only hold back their words for the time being.
It can be said that the possible quarrel at the beginning of the meeting has been resolved by Hades invisibly.
"He doesn't look as ruthless and cunning as the records say."
Liehu rubbed the stubble on his chin and suddenly made a thoughtful comment.
In the records left by the previous managers, the descriptions of Hades were basically unfavorable.
The reason is that every time this guy wakes up, the city will be in turmoil.
"Maybe he's just pretending. Let's see what he says next."
Aldrich was also a little unsure, remembering what Chapman had said more than once.
He pondered, his eyes involuntarily glanced at Somo again.
Unfortunately, Sumo did not comment on Hades' current performance, and still stared at the center quietly.
Finished with three bows.
Hades smiled and sat down.
"Although this is not the first time I stand here to face the managers of the city, now, please allow me to introduce myself again. Hades, the manager of Qinggang Shelter, was once a first-level researcher of the college, and his ancestral home is
A native of Valencia. My grandfather is a high-ranking official in the Province of Jushan, and my father is the mayor of this city of Qinggang. He is also one of the people who designed and presided over the construction of this city."
"It's a pity that their excellent talents were not passed down."
Hades tapped his temple with his hand, then smiled and tapped the table again.
"Originally, I was supposed to dedicate my entire life to managing the shelter just like you, but due to an accident, I now have to fall asleep every once in a while and leave the management affairs to the people below."
"They are all the descendants of the original managers of the shelter. What a pity. Each generation is really inferior to the last."
After a pause, Hades shook his head with regret.
"Forget it, people always like to recall these things that have passed when they get old. Let's talk about today's business."
"First, we have eliminated the large army of monsters that raided the city the night before yesterday. We captured the remaining ones wandering around the edges of the city and conducted strict interrogations within a day yesterday.
Thank God, although we can’t understand the unique language of these monsters, their brainwave transmission is in the same frequency band as humans, so we can be regarded as getting an alternative way of communication.”
The screen in the center of the field began to flicker and gradually became clear after Hades finished speaking.
In the picture, there is a bright laboratory with many seemingly advanced instruments.
Several poor captured dwarves were inserted into various pipes and handcuffed to the hospital bed for a different kind of interrogation.
Isn't this a video?
As two testers in white coats walked in from the door, they grinned at the camera.
The slacked spirits of the managers present immediately perked up, and they all looked at the screen attentively.
"Name?"
"Nishizawa."
"identity?"
"The Dwarfs of All Nations, captain of the special reconnaissance team of the Third Brigade."
"How many of you have come to Qinggang City?"
"The entire third brigade has a total of 35,000 people and 53,500 lizards of various types."
The dwarf seemed to be under mind control and answered the questions raised by the researcher honestly.
Good guy!
Are there so many people?
The managers in the field couldn't help but click their tongues, and once again their vigilance towards this strange world rose to the extreme.
However, the next conversation between the researcher and the dwarf made them stunned.
"What is your purpose in coming to Qinggang City?"
"Look for the most powerful Tianyuan territory in the city, flatten it, and capture Lord Soma alive!"
What?
The dwarf's old-fashioned answer was like throwing a depth charge into the calm lake and detonating it.
Many managers present were so shocked that they stood up and stared straight towards the western suburbs, finally focusing on Somo.
So many dwarves and lizards are not invading the city, but are looking for the manager of Tianyuan?
That Sumo who organized the Western Suburbs Alliance?
Are you kidding me?
Subconsciously, many people thought that this might be Hades deliberately using some means to focus the conflict on the western suburbs.
It also caused panic within the western suburbs, creating a rift in trust between them.
After all, it can be said that the dwarves are the strongest.
This title was given to Yehu, a war madman, and he could barely get away with it.
Of course, just barely.
The strongest one in the entire Qingang City is definitely the Qingang Sanctuary, there is no doubt about this.
The dwarves did not find the wrong person, but there may be some "artificial" deviations in the answers given now.
However, Hades did not interrupt the interrogation and continued to signal the researcher to ask the following questions.
"Since this is Tianyuan territory, why did you come to Qinggang Sanctuary?"
"Capture alive. Lead the way!"
Good guy, it's okay to lead the way.
Sumo almost lost his composure while still maintaining his expression.
He did not doubt that the results of the current interrogation were forged. In fact, the dwarves in the territory also interrogated and produced some information, but they were not as intuitive as the methods shown by Hades.
The dwarf army does have a very strong purpose, which is to seek revenge on the Tianyuan territory during the great weakening of the Metal Sigh disaster, and to avoid future troubles.
It was just bad luck that I accidentally bumped into the Qinggang Shelter.
In addition, Sumo guessed that there is another possibility, that is, the dwarves may have other independent purposes, and they are just using this excuse to fool the soldiers below.
However, the dwarf in charge of this brigade was probably killed in the riot, and there is no way to find the real answer.
"Ahem, don't worry, everyone, just keep watching."
Seeing that many people wanted to raise questions, Hades quickly coughed to signal for silence.
After receiving the instruction, the researcher continued to ask questions.
"Who is Soma?"
"The lord of Tianyuan Territory, the strongest among humans, the most wanted criminal of the alien race, the inhuman executioner, the cunning conspirator, the villain who is good at disguise, and the God-Slayer..."
puff.
Before the dwarf could finish speaking, Hunter Tiger spurted out without holding back.
Listen, what is this?
The strongest among mankind.
Well, he admitted that Somo's strength that night was indeed amazing, and he had a shocking strength that did not match his body size.
But saying he is the strongest among humans is too much, right?
What other executioners, conspirators and even God-Slayers have been created?
Is the manager on site a fool?
How about playing?
"If you are listening to these meaningless accusations, then I think it is unnecessary. I don't believe that the manager of Tianyuan Refuge next to me is the person described by this monster."
Yehu shrugged and won the unanimous approval of all the managers present.
Indeed, it's too outrageous.
It's impossible to believe it.
On the other hand, Hades looked at Somo with interest, smiled and said:
"Hey, Mr. Somo, what do you think?"
This man can be said to be the youngest man among all the managers present.
He has been observing everyone since they first entered the lightning wall.
It is indeed a little different from others, but it is not as exaggerated as the dwarf described it.
If placed in the same era, Hades would have reason to believe that the man in front of him would be a good competitor for him.
But they are just competitors.
Carefully analyzed the recent changes in the Western Suburbs Alliance, as well as the detailed information about Yuan Shelter that day.
There is still a huge difference in size between the two, with a development gap of nearly half a century.
At least before the next awakening, Hades won't worry that Tianyuan Sanctuary may catch up.
"I think?" Sumo glanced at Hades unexpectedly, and suddenly smiled:
"Ha, what he said was very interesting. Didn't everyone present laugh happily?"
The voice fell.
There was echoing laughter in the audience.
A guy who was not afraid of trouble also loudly echoed: "I think it's OK, at least these monsters are afraid of the strongest of us humans. In the future, everyone can relax and don't have to trouble our Qinggang Sanctuary to come out to justice."
!”
Hearing this, Hades was obviously stunned, then he laughed and shook his head.
"Okay, let's continue."
The screen turned and returned to the interrogation session on the screen.
After the poor dwarf answered just now, he seemed to be in a defensive mood.
But as a current passed through it, it shivered for a while but returned to its previous sluggish appearance.
"The strongest man in mankind? What has this Mr. Somo done that deserves you to say this?"
"Not sure."
"Then why are there so many titles?"
"Not sure."
"Okay, let's change the topic. How many of you are there? I'm talking about the total number of dwarves?"
"1.7 million people."
"Where's the lizard?"
"I don't know the exact number, but it will be at least a ratio of one to five, which is more than five million."
"How many men are there in your army?"
"Six hundred thousand people!"
"Are there any plans for Qinggang City and Tianyuan Territory next?"
"Not sure."
"Where is this world and you are the indigenous creatures here?"
"Not sure."
"In other words, what is your purpose?"
"Invade Tianyuan territory and capture Lord Soma!"
"I'm talking about the dwarves' purpose?"
"Not sure."
The interrogation is actually over at this point.
The researcher then asked many more questions about other information about this world.
But the answer I got was always three words: "I don't know."
The researcher was very dissatisfied with this answer and involuntarily amplified the current stimulation. The electric dwarf shivered more and more.
And the dwarf's voice became louder and louder, one after another unclear as if in protest.
All eyes are on the screen.
Somo glanced at Hades, who was smiling excitedly and seemed to enjoy seeing the scene of the dwarf being tortured.
Is there something wrong with this guy?
Although tiger hunting is cruel, it is not so exciting when it tortures people? Isn't this Hades a psychopath?
Just when Somo was thinking this, suddenly, a crackling electric spark flashed, and the current carried by the dwarf finally exceeded the limit.
Under excessive stimulation, the latter was broken down by electric current, and electric sparks rushed out directly from the eye sockets.
Red and white were scattered all over the floor, and the perfectly clean laboratory instantly turned into a purgatory like a slaughterhouse.
"Unfortunately, this is the sixteenth time we have failed." Elegantly taking out the handkerchief in his pocket, the male researcher at the scene wiped his face covered with blood-red fragments and said regretfully: "The brains of these dwarves
There seems to be some restriction, and every time we ask some key questions, the radio frequency band will start to jump, as if something is resisting monitoring."
"But from this we can be sure that the Tianyuan Territory and Lord Soma they talk about should actually exist."
"Although we can't get more detailed information from them to determine what this "Suma" did and why he was praised by these extremely powerful monsters, it just leaves enough for us to continue to dig deeper.
space."
"Because right in our city, on the edge of the western suburbs, there is such a Tianyuan territory, and the lord happens to be named Somo."
"Mr. Somo, what do you think?"
This chapter has been completed!
