Just as the unlucky old Cherki was knocked unconscious and taken away by Dan and the others, in the guest room on the second floor of the Snake Bay Hotel, Xue Hua, who had watched the scene completely through the eyes of a shadow bug, had a look on his face.
Interesting expression.
"Ha! Is there really such a thing as resurrection from the dead? And not only does a person live, but he also becomes an evil one? In just over twenty years, he went from an ordinary person who didn't even pass the inauguration ceremony to a level 60+
A high-level evil contracter, this change is a bit too big, right?
I always feel like... I have a very similar experience to someone who mutated into a monster..."
Xue Hua whispered to himself in a low voice, with an indescribably weird expression on his face.
"You found me on the first day you came here? Am I just lucky, or are those guys' ability to hide their whereabouts really worrying?
Forget it, never mind, now that I've found it, I definitely can't let it go.
Isa, let the shadow bugs and the supervisory king bugs keep a close eye on them. I must not let these guys escape from under our noses!
However, you must also be careful not to reveal your whereabouts, otherwise it may arouse the vigilance of those guys and make them hide deeper in the shadows."
"Understood, Lord." Isa responded in the main nest mind, and quickly went to make plans.
Xue Hua was lying alone on the bed in the room, staring at the ceiling with his eyes wide open. While continuing to pay attention to the tracking of the shadow bugs, he was thinking about the three things he had just heard from the old Cherki in the tavern.
story.
The most puzzling of these three stories is the first one. Xue Hua basically has the answers to the other two stories now, but the first story makes him feel a little confused.
A woman’s face glowing with blue light in a dark alley?
Is there a crunching sound?
It seemed like he didn't like meeting people, but he was scared away by the port patrol who were worse than those gangsters?
What is this?
It's a pity that Cherki couldn't see clearly...
Why......
Xue Hua sighed. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of anything with these characteristics.
You would say it was a wandering undead spirit among the monsters, but Cherki also survived in the end?
If it were really an undead monster contaminated by the energy of hell, not only would Cherki be dead long ago, but even that group of port patrols wouldn't be able to escape alive.
But if it’s not related to hell, then maybe it’s really a ghost...
Is it a ghost? A resentful spirit?
Forget it, let's ignore it for now. With the intensity of the insect swarm monitoring the King's Port area, as long as that thing really exists, sooner or later it will appear in the surveillance king's sight.
Xue Hua sighed and was about to stand up and go to the small table beside the bed to pour a glass of water.
This will clone of his is the transformation of a mimic chick, and after evolution, the mimic chick has the ability to absorb energy on its own and exist permanently.
In other words, as long as this body named "Charlie Walls" eats normally every day, it can continue to live like an ordinary person.
Therefore, he is not in a hurry to find out everything. In addition to investigating the laboratory where the Xel'Naga people may be staying in the western border, the purpose of this operation is also to relax Xue Hua's tense nerves.
.
Just when Xue Hua raised his neck and downed a glass of water, and was about to go back to bed to sleep, the shadow bugs who were tracking the three black robes and the captured old Cherki suddenly sent back a not very good message.
information.
They've lost track.
To be precise, I probably had to give up tracking.
Upon hearing the news, Xue Hua suddenly turned over from the bed and sat up, frowning and taking in the sight of the supervisory king insect in front of him.
Then he saw a towering city wall appearing in front of the shadow bugs gathered in the dark alley. The city wall was filled with well-equipped professional soldiers with high morale.
"What's going on?" Xue Hua asked in the main nest mind with some displeasure.
"I'm very sorry, Master. Our target has a supporter on the city wall. They climbed over the city wall and escaped into another area of the city. This city wall is patrolled and guarded by legendary powerhouses. There is no chance of being discovered if the shadow bugs invade rashly.
Danger."
There was an apology in Isa's voice, which was equivalent to not completing the task assigned by the master.
Such behavior will be severely punished in the insect swarm.
"I understand your concerns, and I support the decision you made, but only this time, understand?" Xue Hua thought for a moment, and finally nodded, without punishing the adjutant.
After all, he has already offended one of the three major nobles in King's Port, and since the King's Port Professional Legion suffered heavy losses this time, the Margery family may not be able to bear the blame, and they will definitely blame Xue Hua.
Yes, because Xue Hua did trick them a little before.
Therefore, the consequences of rashly exposing the insect swarm are indeed unpredictable, and Isa's decision is not wrong.
But if we lost track of those guys this time, it might be difficult to find their whereabouts next time.
And he still didn’t know what these guys wanted to do with this ordinary old man, Cherki. Originally, Xue Hua planned to let the shadow bug track the opponent’s lair and find an opportunity to rescue the old man. After all, he would immediately come to the harbor.
To be able to learn such important clues, this old man deserves a lot of credit.
"Let the shadow bugs come back first. The surveillance of the port area by the bug swarm will be strengthened to another level. If similar things are discovered, the people will be controlled first."
Xue Hua lay on the bed and thought for a while, but could not think of any other better way for the time being, so he had to ask Isa to continue to strengthen monitoring of the port area.
No matter what those guys wanted to do, if they did it once, there would definitely be a second time.
He still has a chance to find the secrets of these guys.
"I understand, Master, the swarm will not let you down this time." Isa replied.
"Yes." Xue Hua nodded, then disconnected from the main nest mind, rolled over from the bed, and walked to the window of the room.
"It seems that tomorrow is the time to visit the so-called noble area!"
He looked out the window at the dark and gloomy streets and murmured.
...
At the same time, in the aristocratic area of King's Port, underground of a magnificent manor, three men in black robes carried the still unconscious old Cherki through a hidden entrance into a secret room.
The entire secret room was paved with black stone bricks, and there were many unknown black machines placed on the four walls.
Seven petri dishes made of transparent glass were placed in front of these machines, and six of the petri dishes contained a naked human being.
In the center of the secret room, another figure shrouded in a black robe was busy doing something in front of the petri dishes.
"No. 1, we are back." Three men in black robes walked to the center of the secret room, placed old Cherki on a flat black operating table, and then said to the busy man in black robes.
"Well, I'm back. Things are going well, right? Has anyone discovered you?"
The man in black robes known as "No. 1" asked without looking back as he continued busy with what he was doing.
"No, we deliberately waited until the farthest point from the avenue before taking action. Besides, two people disappearing in the port area are nothing. Corpses are thrown into the sea every day to feed the fish."
One of the men in black robes answered, and at the same time pulled down the hood on his head, revealing the face of Cherki's "old acquaintance" - Dane.
"Don't be careless. Our God has many enemies in this world. Before the plan is completely completed, we must not let those enemies discover our secrets."
Number 1 put down the work in his hands, turned around and said seriously to Dan En and others.
"Yes, I understand." Dane shook his head impatiently, and then walked straight to the console where Cherki was lying.
"I brought the person back, what about it? He should be able to do it, right?"
"This is the target found at your request. This person's body function has declined severely. To successfully complete the operation, a lot of materials will be needed... This is a gift from the God of Evolution to you. Remember
, there will be no next time, do you understand?"
No. 1 walked to the operating table and took a look at the old man lying on it. He shook his head helplessly and said to Dann.
"I'm going to start, you guys, please go out first!"
"Okay." Dan and En nodded, and then followed the original secret path back to the house on the ground.
