Chapter 116 Weeping Angel(1/3)
Two days passed in a flash.
The assassination of Young Master Kahn became more and more serious, and the hunters in the Thunder Fortress camp became more and more dissatisfied.
Now that the hunters can't go back, those hunters who came back from the ruins are also gathering in the camp, and there are more and more people.
Not only are the hunters trapped, but some special guys are trapped as well.
In the small building of Caiyun Chamber of Commerce in the camp.
A mysterious woman with a black veil on her face was standing in front of the window, looking at the crowded camp in front of her, her silver pupils like the moon shining brightly.
And behind her, there was a hunchbacked old man with a lifeless look all over his body.
Looking at the people of the Lionheart family who were still searching for each other in the distance, the silver-eyed woman murmured to herself: "What a pity, it's rare for such a high-ranking noble to come to Innocence City. Originally, I wanted to use that young master Kahn to get close to Lionheart.
The senior members of the family didn’t expect that they were killed just as they disguised their identities.”
Hearing this, the hunchbacked old man responded in a hoarse voice: "More and more nobles have come from Innocence City recently, and there may not be no opportunities in the future."
After a pause, he continued: "Those guys from Bureau
"
Silver-eyed woman: "Then just kill them together. It just so happens that the last seal relic has been found, and the restrictions on the four-pillar seal have been basically lifted. It doesn't matter if it is exposed now. The Weeping Angel still needs some soul nourishment, so he put it in the camp
Let's sacrifice these people. If we start now, those people from the 'Thirteen Kamen Riders' can also help us attract the attention of the federal high-level officials."
The hunchbacked old man: "Yeah."
Ji Xun walked leisurely on the streets of the camp.
In addition to practicing and studying in his tent every day, he would also go out for a walk in the evening when there were the most people in the tavern, inquiring about news.
The tavern is still the most crowded and lively place in the camp.
Ji Xun squeezed into the Hunter Tavern just like he did two days ago.
Then I sat down at the corner of the bar and ordered a beer.
No new supplies have been delivered in the past two days, and the price of beer has increased almost tenfold.
This is no longer a luxury item that ordinary hunters can afford.
Ji Xun was sitting at the bar, drinking wine and listening to the news as usual.
What the hunters talked about the most was mostly the old news about Kahn's assassination the day before yesterday, mixed with all kinds of gossip that was hard to distinguish between true and false.
Ji Xun listened for a long time, and the only thing he found reliable was that it was said that people from the federal military would arrive tomorrow.
I heard that an important figure from the Lionheart family will also come.
Most of the hunters were pessimistic and resistant to the news.
After all, these high-ranking aristocratic men are not friendly to the people at the bottom.
In the past, Young Master Kahn killed hundreds of people for no reason just to find an assassin.
No one knows what will happen when the Lionheart family comes.
But there is nothing you can do.
For the vast majority of hunters, their current situation is like a shipwreck stranded on an isolated island. To rush blindly into the unexplored old continent is like heading into the sea on a raft, and the risk is higher than staying on the other side.
The campground is much bigger.
There is also some information on land reclamation.
A group of hunters discovered several new extra-dimensional spaces deep in the ruins that no one has come out alive yet.
Some people speculate that it may be a new war mode space.
The news is plentiful and mixed.
Ji Xun just drank sip after sip.
Sitting there for nearly an hour.
After listening and listening, he originally wanted to leave after hearing no more valuable information.
But at this moment, three people suddenly walked in at the door of the tavern.
The leader was a sturdy middle-aged man wearing a leather jacket, followed by two young men, a man and a woman.
All three of them covered their faces with kerchiefs, and the two behind them covered their bodies with deerskin cloaks.
When Ji Xun looked at these three people, he always felt that they looked familiar inexplicably.
Although these three people are also dressed in hunter attire, their temperament does not look like low-level hunters.
The three of them also walked towards the bar.
The man in the jacket waved to the bartender and said, "Three glasses of beer."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Ji Xun heard the rough voice immediately and was greatly surprised: "Those three guys from Bureau X?"
At this moment, he finally knew where that familiar feeling came from.
Aren't these the three people who came after the "epidemic doctor" Heisen when Innocence City wiped out the Silver Moon Sect's stronghold?
He remembers the name "Xie Guozhong" in the leather jacket?
The impression is pretty good.
After all, I was able to successfully get the scalpel that time, thanks to this guy keeping his promise.
But why did they come to the ruins of Thunder Fortress?
Such well-organized official investigators do not need to risk their lives hunting wild lands to make a living.
In an instant, Ji Xun thought of something else and thought to himself: "They are not coming after people from the Silver Moon Sect, are they?"
Then a thought came to me, the possibility was really not small.
That was it last time.
It's 80% the same this time.
Moreover, Ji Xun also guessed that people from the Silver Moon Sect might actually come to this ruins.
In the previous "Battle of Outpost" extradimensional space, the demon camp believed that the god was Arachne, the "Lord of Dreams and Joy".
This is the old god believed in by the Silver Moon Sect!
Ji Xun has personally seen the altars, statues, etc., and the legacy of the past in that space is much more complete than the current half-baked Silver Moon Sect.
If the people of the Silver Moon Sect know this situation, it is very likely that they will come to those ancient inheritances.
And maybe it’s not just in that one dimension.
Ji Xun thought of this and his expression was slightly strange: "Hey, there are really people from the Silver Moon Sect looking for the inheritance of the old gods, and then these three people from Bureau X came after them, right?"
It seems that I really have some conflicts with this Old-time sect.
You can find them there.
However, he didn't think much about it.
As soon as Xie Guozhong sat down, the drinker next to him tried to sneak away.
The mushroom-headed and short-haired girl at the back stood there and skillfully stopped the guy.
Xie Guozhong chuckled and said calmly: "Old man Xu, long time no see."
The sneaky guy shook his head repeatedly and wanted to run away, "No, no. You have the wrong person."
Hearing this, Xie Guozhong muttered to himself: "You guys have forgotten me again."
As he said that, he smiled and said: "Don't worry. We are not from the Lionheart family. We are Bureau X and want to ask you a few questions."
At this time, the man dared to raise his head and look at the three of them: "Huh?"
Although the conversation over there was not loud, Ji Xun could still hear it clearly.
“What a coincidence”
The guy who was stopped when Ji Xun was stuck turned out to be an acquaintance.
It was none other than the "Dog King" Old Man Xu who we went to form a team with in the extra-dimensional space.
what a small world.
Oh, no.
The campground is small to begin with.
There are only two pubs, and this guy is an old drunkard, so the probability of encountering him is quite high.
Ji Xun had noticed this guy before.
It's a bit funny that he shrinks from drinking and complains that the wine is too expensive. His flesh hurts when he takes a sip.
But there were also many people who thought strange things about Hunter, so Ji Xun didn't pay much attention to them.
I didn't expect him to be an acquaintance.
To be continued...
