After collecting the information, the four people walked out.
"This exchange shop." El said: "The male boss gives people a really strong sense of oppression and completely avoids the topic."
"There is no way, people working in that industry also have their own unique moral rules." Ellie said: "We have to thank him for getting so much information."
"Yes." Lloyd said: 'By the way, the man who came down from the mountain with a tiger is probably a mercenary.'
"But if it's a mercenary, why is he acting alone? In that case, let's report this to the section chief as well."
"Yeah, I agree." Lloyd said.
The four of them were about to go back when a vicious voice came from behind.
"Wait a minute, you guys."
'ah.'
Waji said: "Walut, what's wrong? I heard that you haven't been on the road of Jian She Gang recently."
"Stop talking nonsense. There is no need to talk about my affairs. How can you be a lackey compared to these?" Valut said: "What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. Everyone in the Covenant Alliance has no objections. I won't cause trouble to anyone by doing this." Waji said.
"Bastard, are you serious? You left the group before we decided the winner with me. Do you think I can accept it?"
Vaji fell silent.
"Valut, don't get excited."
"Stop talking, outsiders, shut up. Although I don't know your reasons, Waji, you don't think you can get out of this old city!"
Saying this, Valut pulled out his weapon and pointed it at Waji.
"This is really not good." Ellie said.
Waji said: 'Walut, is this not natural? Neither I nor you have a permanent foothold, right?
"The reason why I formed the Covenant Alliance is just to form a force that can restrain your wanton behavior in the old city."
"Everyone was weak at the beginning, but now we have grown up. Even if I leave, I can continue to fight against you.'
"So my mission is accomplished."
Walut said: "You guy..."
"Not only that, the other members will leave sooner or later one day, graduate from the season of being ignorant and not knowing their own direction, and find their own path." Nianji said.
"I believe they can do it."
Valut fell silent.
"The same goes for you. Although most of the members are very rude, they still have the courage and will to refuse Lubache's invitation."
"So, Valut, you can definitely find your own path."
"Hahahahaha, I didn't expect you to say such innocent and ridiculous things. That's enough. No need to say any more. You have stained this place and I will never forgive you.'
"Let's put it this way, let's end it, one-on-one," Vaji said.
Lloyd said: "Vaj, you have to be impulsive."
"I have to make the end, don't worry," Waji said.
"Haha, it seems that you still understand this. I will completely defeat you and make you lie on the ground unable to stand up." Valut said; "In this case, you should wake up a lot."
Waji said: 'Stop the gossip, let's fight, this time I will go all out."
The battle is about to break out.
Varut was defeated.
"Bastard, have you always been merciful?" Valut said.
"Although it is different from Randy's move, it was considered a foul move just now, but facing you today, I can only use my full strength without mercy." Waji said.
"This is as sincerity as I can show."
"Waji you."
"Goodbye Valut, I've had a great time this year," Waji said.
The four people left the old city.
Valut stood in the rain: "Stop joking, I will never accept it. How can I allow you to leave here alone."
The four of them were silent on the road.
"Waji," Lloyd said.
"Haha, I let you see a shameful scene, and it's a little impulsive, which is not my style."
"No, how should I put it? Men should be like that." Lloyd said.
"Although I don't understand things between men, I understand that you face him with sincerity." Ellie said.
"Yeah." El smiled; "I think he will understand one day."
"Haha, I hope so, let's go back as soon as possible." Waji said.
Several people returned to the support department.
The communicator rang.
"Hello, I'm Lloyd from the Special Agent Support Section."
"Hello, Lloyd, thank you for working in the rain."
"Oh, it's Fran. What's wrong? Is there any urgent mission?"
"Well, um, do you remember Mine Town?"
"Remember."
"Is there something wrong with Mining Town?"
"It is said that a monster appears again in Mining Town, but it seems to be an old mine located outside the town."
"? It's normal for monsters to appear in places like that."
"The miner's door has not been disturbed, but the situation inside the mine is very strange. You need to go and take a look."
"It's strange. I don't understand what I heard. We'll go there right away."
"Okay, please, everyone. In addition, there is a wanted monster on the mountain road. Please take care of it if you can."
"Yes, I understand."
“In addition, the weather conditions are different from those in the city, so it’s rare to have the opportunity to drive there.”
"I understand. If there is anything new, please contact us."
"Okay, Lloyd, keep working hard."
"Um."
Hang up the communication.
El said: "Is it Fran?"
"Well, it is said that there is a strange situation in a mine over there in Mining Town."
Lloyd said: "All the requests for support from the city have been completed. Let's prepare to go directly to Mining Town. I heard that the weather in the mountain road area is very good. We might as well drive there."
Vaggie: "I understand, Captain."
"If you want to drive, you have to go to the garage at the back door." El said.
She seemed very happy, probably because she could drive this car.
Several people drove to Mining Town.
"Haha, we arrived in a blink of an eye. Just like Fran said, the weather after the mountain road is very sunny." Ellie said.
"Well, the scenery after the rain is so beautiful." Lloyd said.
El: "This car is really great."
“Driving on rugged mountain roads is not a waste at all.”
Waji: "As expected of the workshop, it will definitely be very popular after it is officially sold."
"Does the mayor of this mining town have something to do with us?"
"Well, it's Mayor Bick." Ellie said; "After you go in, it's the biggest room."
Four people knocked on the door and said, "Excuse me. We are members of the Crossbell Support Section."
"Oh, come in quickly."
After the four people entered.
"It's you guys. We haven't seen you for a long time, but you're still so energetic." The mayor said.
Okaji said: "Hey, I haven't seen you for a while."
"Well, how is your health, Mr. Okaji?" Ellie said.
"Oh, I didn't leave any sequelae. I'm in good spirits." Okaji said.
"Thank you so much for that time. Please let me say thank you again."
Ellie: "Haha, good health is the best thing."
"By the way, I heard that a monster appeared in the old mine?" Lloyd said.
"Well, it's an abandoned pit near the town that has been abandoned for decades."
"Okay, sit down first and my wife will help you make tea."
"Thank you."
After the four people sat down, they listened to the mayor finish explaining the details.
"The blocked entrance was breached?" Lloyd said.
"Well, although the door is from decades ago, it is very strong, but this morning we found that it was damaged."
"There was nothing unusual the day before, so it was probably destroyed yesterday. It's true that someone did something wrong.'
"That's really concerning," said Lloyd.
"The commission also mentioned that people from the town went in to check and found a monster wandering inside," El said.
"However, since it is an ancient waste pit, it is normal for monsters to appear, right?" Waji said.
"No, that's not the problem, it's the tunnel itself that's strange."
Ellie said: "What do you mean?"
"How should I put it? There is a hazy light inside, and the entire mountain wall is reflected in purple."
"This is indeed weird." Ellie said.
"Since it was a tunnel built decades ago, there would naturally be no lights inside, so the reason for the light is concerning," said Lloyd.
"Well, although it didn't cause any actual harm to us, I'm really worried about it, so I still contacted you despite your busy schedule."
"I already understand the situation." Lloyd said: "Judging from the damage to the gate, it is definitely not an accident. We are just going to take a look."
"Yeah, I understand." Ellie said.
"clear."
Vaggie said: "Haha, this might be interesting."
"Okay, Okaji, you go and remove the roadblock at the entrance first."
"Yeah, I know. Then I'll take a step forward and you can come back later."
"Great, he seems really healthy."
The mayor said: "It's all thanks to you, but his bad habit of gambling has not changed at all."
“I’ll go back when it’s a day off, and I won’t come back until I lose all my money.”
"Haha. That's it."
"Forget it, as long as you don't lose everything and go bankrupt." Lloyd said, "Where is the abandoned mine?"
"We'll just go downhill for a while. We don't know the reason yet, so please be careful."
"Okay, let's go then."
Several people came to the abandoned mine.
I saw Okaji at the door.
"You are here."
"Well, this is it, right?"
There are still remains on the ground after the door was destroyed.
"This is the door that was destroyed," Lloyd said.
"It seems like it was cut open directly by some kind of weapon." Ellie said.
"Well, to be honest, I really don't believe that this was done by human power." Okaji said, "In short, this is the entrance."
Several people explored inside and saw purple light.
"This light is quite eerie." Waji said, "There should be dangerous monsters wandering inside."
"What should I do with Lloyd? We need to contact the guards depending on the situation."
"It makes sense. This can increase the number of investigators." El said.
"No, it's up to us to investigate first. If we can't handle it based on our ability, it's not too late to ask for support."
"Understood."
"In that case, let's set off."
"We're going to investigate right now. Just wait here, Okaji." Lloyd said.
The four of them walked in.
"It feels a little unusual."
"The ground and walls are glowing, and the air always feels turbid." Ellie said.
"Maybe it's something like miasma, a breath with superior attributes here." Waji said.
"Huh? Vaji, you?" Ellie said.
"Why did you say the same thing as Tio?" El said.
Waji said: "Haha, although I am not as good as that kid, my inspiration is also very strong."
‘What should we do? Continuing to investigate further will be dangerous.”
Lloyd: "That's true, but."
At this time, a strange sound was heard.
"That sound is..." Vaggie said.
"No, everyone, please step back."
Several people quickly retreated.
As a result, the entrance was bombed.
The four people looked grim.
"Mr. Okaji?"
"If you hear me, please reply."
"The sound can't seem to get out, it's blocked," Lloyd said.
"What on earth is going on? What was the sound just now?"
Waji said: "By the way, El, why could you predict it?"
"Ah, this is because I vaguely smelled the burnt smell and realized something was wrong." El said.
"That's true," Waji said.
Ellie: "But few people use it nowadays. Could it be that it was used for work in the past?"
"No, after all, there should be no such mechanism left. Someone should have set it up deliberately."
Ellie said: "This is?"
"But this seems to be the only explanation."
"If you put it this way, the sound is the activation of the mechanism."
"It's probably to cut off the escape route for those who enter." Lloyd said: "Maybe it's controlled by someone nearby."
"Well, I don't know who he is, but he seems to have fallen into his trap."
"It doesn't matter. We can handle it with a communicator."
Fran said using the communicator.
Ellie said: "Did the communicator fail?"
"The signal can't be transmitted from this place."
"Oh, it seems that this road is not feasible. There is no other way. In this case, we continue to move forward. There may be other exits, and there may be other institutions while staying here."
El: "That's right. If the other party sets a trap, they will definitely force us to move forward."
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. Let's go in."
Ellie: "It seems that the other party doesn't know what his intentions are yet, so be careful."
Waji: "Oh, this is what is called a wolf in front and a tiger in the back. It's fun to be with you and I won't get bored."
"Your relaxed tone makes people feel more at ease now." Lloyd said: "Now that we don't have any supplies, let's go all out and escape together."
"Yeah." Ellie said.
"Okay, let's go."
The four people began to search carefully.
"If you look closely, these things that emit purple light seem to be a kind of plant. Most of them look like moss."
"No matter how you look at it, this place is no ordinary tunnel."
Ellie said: 'I've heard of glowing moss in the past, it's called Samlian moss and it's a medicinal plant.'
"Well, is there such a thing?"
"But the color is different from what I've seen. Maybe it's another kind." Ellie said.
"No, this is indeed it." Waji said: "It became like this because of the influence of Qiyao." (To be continued)
