Late at night, in the dark sky, the stars and the moon reflect each other, and a crescent moon hangs in the sky. In the quiet night, only the wind blows the leaves, making a soft rustling sound.
At the same time, in the slums and under the abandoned overpass, several huge bonfires were burning, and the pungent smell of smoke drifted in the wind, making people frown.
Normally, homeless people would gather together to brag to each other or chat, but today, they seemed unusually quiet, lying on the ground far away like a group of sculptures, silent, with a hint of loneliness in their eyes.
Inexplicable fear.
Beside the campfire, a strong man with bulging muscles was holding a machete across Tuocang's neck. His eyes were stern and his murderous intent was awe-inspiring, as if he would behead him without hesitation if he dared to resist at all.
kill.
Tuocang was trembling all over, sweat was pouring from his forehead, his face was filled with fear, and he begged for mercy in a trembling voice:
"I...I have followed your instructions and called my behind-the-scenes instigator. Please don't mess around!"
I saw the strong man holding a knife in one hand, sitting casually on the stone, letting himself be roasted by the scorching flames.
Lying at his feet was a vicious wolf with black and gray hair. The hair on its back was divided into two rows and was very thick. Its crimson pupils exuded a fierce and violent look. Its sharp claws exuded a commanding glow under the light of the fire.
A cold light that makes people feel cold.
After hearing these words, the strong man loosened his arms slightly, but still did not relax. Instead, he gently patted Takura's cheek with the machete in his hand and said with a evil smile:
"Boy, you are so unlucky to have stumbled into our underground deal with Team Rocket!"
"If the big wolfhound hadn't had a sensitive nose and could smell the stench on your body, I wouldn't have known that someone would send a waste like you to spy on information!"
The expression on Tuo Cang's face suddenly became silent. He originally thought that the task ordered by Lord White Demon was very simple, but he did not expect that the other elf was in a scent detection state at all times and was captured helplessly. Abai Snake also disappeared during that attack.
is missing!
"Sir, I...I'm just a little guy, I don't have any power, this matter really has nothing to do with me...!"
He kept explaining with a sad face.
"Huh, you little guy?!"
Hearing this, the strong man laughed loudly, shook the machete in his hand vigorously, and said:
"Do you think I'm stupid? If I do something wrong, shouldn't I pay the price?!"
"Don't worry, when the master behind you arrives, I promise to be more agile and let you leave without too much pain!"
After that, he slapped Tuocang hard on the face again, which immediately made him dizzy, his eyes flashed, and five bloody palm prints were left on his face.
Then, the strong man turned around and stared at the burning bonfire in front of him, with a touch of excitement in his eyes.
"In this Three Wolf Association, my hometown is bound to win the position of the fourth cadre...!"
Thinking of this, a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had already encountered such a scene!
The moonlight slowly disappeared, dark clouds carrying moisture enveloped the whole city, and the birds on the branches also flapped their wings and flew into the sky with the coming of the strong wind, and a long and shrill cry cut through the sky!
now.
The atmosphere of an impending rain is gradually filling the building. From this habitat under the abandoned overpass, the roar of a big wolf dog can be heard from time to time, which is particularly eye-catching in the dark night.

Underground Pokémon Zone.
Fang Yin used the smart navigation on the badge to circle around for half a day and quickly arrived at the destination.
The trading hall has two floors in total. It covers a large area, is luxuriously decorated, and is magnificent. There are scattered trainers and elf hunters mixed in there.
The hall is spacious and bright, with huge holographic projections sliding on the walls, such as the roaring whale king and the bronze statue of the king, etc., which are lifelike and shocking.
Most of the trainers wore black robes, covering their faces. The only thing they had in common was the black Poké Ball badge on their chests, which showed their identities.
In addition, there are many service-oriented intelligent robots also busy in the lobby.
Along the way, we also saw many strange men in black robes, who gathered together in two or three groups to form separate small groups.
These men in black robes were equipped with different equipment. Fang Yin could see several beings who looked like mechanics. The mechanical tentacles were installed behind their backs, swinging continuously as if they were self-aware. The metal prosthetics that were accidentally exposed emitted bright silver fluorescence.
Maybe he was aware of the eyes of the people around him.
A mechanic suddenly turned his head and looked over, with an icy chill in his eyes under the mask.
Fang Yin's eyes were indifferent, and he looked at him without fear. The eyes between the two collided in mid-air, and fierce sparks burst out.
Then he withdrew his gaze and continued to walk forward. Although his pace was slow, he was determined and unhurried. Soon, Fang Yin arrived at the counter of the exchange's No. 888 robot.
"Welcome, thank you for your hard work!"
Seeing him coming, the intelligent robot immediately bowed to greet him.
"Well, I'm here to collect my belongings!" Fang Yin said calmly.
Then, he took out the black badge from his arms and handed it to the other party.
The intelligent robot took it and scanned the badge. The next moment, five pieces of black sludge appeared on the virtual projection for him to carefully select.
Under the dazzling blue light of the screen, Fang Yin hesitated for a moment, and finally located a pool of medium-sized black mud. After confirming that it was correct, he put the badge in his arms.
After a while, the conveyor belt flashed with light, and a transparent box containing black sludge appeared. He carefully placed it in his backpack, then walked into the passage and disappeared.
…………
"Boom~!"
The heavy downpour fell, washing away the moss on the street, making a crisp sound.
A yellow taxi was speeding through the rain. The driver was driving intently and looking out the window worriedly.
"Why did it rain suddenly?" the driver muttered while driving.
Fang Yin, who was sitting in the back seat of the carriage, was staring at the rain curtain outside the window, his brows furrowed, his face full of worry, as if he was worried about something.
"The smelly mud has absorbed the black sludge. It will only take a while, and it is estimated that its own potential will be enhanced."
"In addition, it needs to continuously devour the flesh and blood of high-level elves to replenish the energy and strength of the poison system. Alas, there is a long road ahead. Only by becoming stronger can we continue to live!"
He sighed secretly, closed his eyes to rest, concentrated on recalling what happened in the past few days, and thought about ways to solve the current predicament.
Drifting in the heavy rain, the temperature is getting colder and colder. Cold sweat breaks out on the driver's forehead. While speeding up, he looks left and right. The high-rise buildings continue to retreat, and soon he drives into the slum area:
"It's so spooky. After finishing this job, I'll go home and have a good sleep!"
The driver shook his head, yawned, and looked drowsy.
I don't know how long it took.
"Sir, sir? We are almost at the drop-off point!"
Suddenly, the driver's shout came to his ears. Fang Yin opened his eyes and looked at the abandoned overpass. The scattered homeless people were huddled in the corner with fear on their faces, trembling and looking frightened.
"Well, I know!"
He nodded slightly.
In an instant, Fang Yin seemed to notice something strange, his eyes changed, he took out the red and white elf ball, and hurriedly shouted:
"Wait, don't stop, keep running forward!"
Before he could finish his words, a swift black figure rushed out from under the overpass, opened its bloody mouth, and white light burst out, turning into a torrent and slamming into the side door of the taxi.
"Bang!"
The glass shattered, the taxi shook violently, the car body instantly overturned, spinning in place, and finally hit the ground under the overpass with a loud bang. The entire car was dented and severely deformed.
"Boom~"
The car made a huge roar and rolled violently in the rain, and the driver's screams echoed throughout the street.
The rain poured down, splashing muddy water, washing the car body, and a big black hand of ferocious mud blasted the car door.
Fang Yin slowly crawled out, her messy gray hair wet and sticking to her cheeks, her scarlet eyes full of murderous intent, her arms covered with scars, looking extremely embarrassed, and she coughed out a few words with difficulty:
"Cough...cough...stinky mud, it's time for us to do the dirty work!"
