Chapter 717 Shocking the Grass and Scaring the Snake

At present, He Ao has only two clues about the city-state of Newland, the disappearance of the Newland branch of the research institute and the suspected personnel demand of Dawn B.

These two events can lead to two conclusions respectively.

[-]. The city-state of Newland may have some kind of weird item that can 'take away' people without any influence.

[-]. Liming's B-level deputy leader might be doing something urgently needed near the city-state of Newland.

Looking at these two incidents separately, they are not "big incidents" that can make people very vigilant, but when the two incidents happened in the same area, He Ao felt something was wrong.

This feeling of being wrong does not come from his experience in the main world, but from his experience in the copy world.

The core of these two matters is 'people', whether it is the abducted transcendent, or the manpower needs of Li Ming's 'deputy leader'.

In the dungeon world, there is generally only one thing that is related to the extraordinary and involves a lot of 'people'.
'Sacrifice'.

A qualified FBI agent, when he discovers a large number of missing persons cases in his jurisdiction, especially the missing cases of extraordinary people, will immediately realize that something is up.

Of course, that is the dungeon world where the evil gods are active.

Strictly speaking, He Ao doesn't want his conjecture to be true, but since he has discovered this sign, he still has to take a look.

Anyway, the avatar is fine now, so it's time to go on a trip.

He looked down at the substitute cloak in his hand.

He has never used the full ability of this cloak, so he happened to do a test by the way.

City-state of Newland · Outer Seas
The glory of the morning sun spreads from the rippling sea to the old fishing boats.

The tan curly-haired man sitting in the cockpit holds the steering gear in one hand and a bottle of brandy in the other.

He held the mouth of the bottle with his hand, and gently pressed his fingers upwards. The cork of the bottle of high-grade distilled liquor was directly pushed open, and it flew into the corner of the cockpit.

He stared at the hazy island in the distance, raised the strong wine in his hand, and poured it down his throat like white water.

The city-state of Newland is not a land city-state, but a united city-state city composed of multiple islands near the mainland of the Tia Empire.

There are only two ways to get to Newland city-state, one is to depart from Villen City by boat and arrive across the sea, and the other is to arrive directly by plane.

The phone screen on the console lit up, showing a new incoming call, and the man reached out and answered the call.

"Lenke, where have you been?"

Another hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Immediately, almost there."

The man called Lenk took another sip of his drink.

"Lenke, you didn't do well enough this time."

The voice on the other end of the phone sank slightly.

"It's none of my business,"

Lenke spat, "I'm just an errand runner. I came here to join you. You arranged for me to run errands, and you even asked me to go to Velen City to contact Hu Wen's forces. If you don't give anything, you can ask someone for someone. If you don't refuse you No wonder, idiot."

Speaking of this, he paused, "Oh, I didn't reject you, I asked the deputy leader to talk in person, so have you gone to the deputy leader now? Oh, if the deputy leader is willing to end, you won't ask me to come back It's useless."

"Lunk..."

The tone on the other end of the phone stagnated, and he said sharply, "You are now one of us."

"If it weren't for the fucking Hu Wen who broke the rules a lot, killing people indiscriminately is not allowed, would I come to join you?"

Lenke took a sip of his wine. He glanced at the corpses of the crew piled up behind him. He stepped on the dry blood under his feet.

"I've been running for you for half a month. If you want money or no money, if you want a woman or no woman, it's your turn to ride on this old man's head and point fingers? Are you worthy? When my old man is wanted, where are you still breastfeeding?" .”

"Lunk, you..."

The person on the phone seemed so angry that he choked on his words.

"If you don't like me, come on, one-on-one duel,"

Lenke took another sip of his wine, "I will give you one hand, and I will leave you with a whole body in the end."

The phone was completely choked and fell into a brief silence, but instead of agreeing to Lenke's invitation to a duel, he hung up the phone directly.

"A gutless thing."

Lenke pulled out a dagger from his waist, swiped it, and stuck it on the dashboard.

bang-bang-bang-

There was a slow and crisp knock on the door.

As soon as Lenke stopped drinking, he gently placed the bottle in his hand on the countertop, then stretched out his hand and carefully pulled out the dagger, and walked across the cab silently to the position near the door.

Then he leaned against the wall next to the door, and slowly reached out to open the door.

creak-

As the old metal door was slowly opened, no one appeared, and there was nothing outside the door.

Lenke was stunned for a moment, then realized something, grabbed the dagger and immediately turned back, stabbing out.

A pair of calm eyes suddenly appeared in his vision.

"Borrow your fate."

With the sound of a calm and slow sound, Lunk felt a huge force suddenly tearing his body, his thrusting arm froze in place, some invisible force was devouring his flesh and blood, his soul .

The severe pain made him bow his body unconsciously. He wanted to open his mouth to scream, but he couldn't make a sound.

In the next second, his body disappeared suddenly as if erased by an eraser, leaving only a complete set of clothes wrapped in a small bone and falling to the ground.

Howo lowered his head and stared at the clothes left by Renke.

At this moment, countless information is gathering in his mind.

That was Lunk's shattered memory, and the technique of using Lunk's special ability.

Renke is a D-level, his talent sequence should be 'champion', and his physical ability is more flexible and flexible than 'gymnastics'.

He was originally a Transcendent of the World Tree, and had completed a D-level promotion in the ruins, but something seemed to go wrong during the promotion. His mental state was inclined to madness, and he could get pleasure from killing.

During a mission, he killed all his teammates, took the mission target, that is, the dagger in his hand, defected from World Tree, and became a wanted criminal.

After defecting, this guy has been staying in the Western Lands, making a living by killing and robbing. Recently, he was forced to do nothing by the World Tree's siege, so he left the Western Lands and joined Liming.

At this moment, the fishing boat he snatched near the city-state of Newland, sailed from Newland to Velen, contacted He Ao's forces in Velen, and then sailed back to Newland from Velen.

This guy loves killing and blood, and he didn't dispose of the dead bodies, just let the dead crew members pile up in the cockpit.

However, this fishing boat was discovered by Nuo Ding's men, and then reported to He Ao. He Ao found it after searching for the fishing boat.

"Is this guy not trusted, did he not enter the core?"

He Ao picked up the dagger on the ground, thoughtful.

At this time, his cell phone vibrated, and he received a new message, a message from the director of the research institute 'Li Cheng'.

Looks like he's going to have to tweak his plans a little bit.

Newland city-state · core island

Accompanied by the sound of a roaring train passing by, a young man wearing black-rimmed glasses and wearing ordinary middle-earth appearance walked out of an alley.

This is He Ao who looks like 'Hao Yi'.

He looked up at the noisy crowd around him, and walked into the crowd like an ordinary tourist.

The city-state of Newland is not only a prosperous commercial city-state, but also a city-state with a thriving tourism industry.

The city-state is mainly composed of five adjacent large islands and some scattered small islands.

The five big islands are connected by slender sea-crossing bridges, forming the main body of the city-state. More than 95% of the population of the city-state lives on these five big islands.

This unique island city-state structure has attracted many tourists who come here admiringly, and enjoys a high reputation throughout the main world.

The core island where He Ao is currently located is the largest of the five big islands, and it is also the most prosperous island in the city-state of Newland.

He walked on the noisy street, watching the people around him coming and going.

This is the pedestrian street with the most people in the city-state of Newland, and it is also the place with the most tourists.

He Ao walked slowly along the road, bought a bunch of seafood balls that seemed to be a local specialty, and then walked leisurely while eating, looking at the special products in the store.

"Buy... buy... first... give birth..."

A childish, stammering voice in Middle-earth sounded behind him.

He turned his head and saw a little girl who was about one meter tall, holding a bamboo flower basket on her head, holding it with both hands, trying to stop him behind him.

Seeing him turn around, the little girl continued to stammer and say in Middle dialect, "Lucky... lucky..."

He looked at the contents of the flower basket on the little girl's head.

It is full of 'talismans' that seem to be woven from some kind of tough grass blades. The overall shape is rhombus, with beautiful patterns in the middle.

He Ao glanced at the little girl's cheek, and asked in Tiya, "Did you make this up?"

Hearing his words, the little girl was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes widened instantly, as if she hadn't expected He Ao's Tiya to be so fluent, and then she quickly replied, "This is made by me and grandma, Newland's straw weaving The talisman is very useful, it will keep you safe and lucky, brother, do you want to buy one? It’s not expensive, one gold shield.”

Gold Shield is the currency of the Tia Empire, and one Chinese currency is approximately equal to 2.5 gold shields.

For He Ao, it is equivalent to forty cents each.

"Let me have one."

Heo reached out, took a talisman, and left a gold shield in cash.

When he came to buy milk powder near the Tia Empire last time, he exchanged a lot of gold shields.

"Thank you brother, Ina, the goddess of storm and luck, will protect you, brother will definitely make a fortune in the future."

The little girl took the money and said excitedly.

Ina is a god believed near the Newland city-state. For the Newlanders who often go to sea, the goddess in charge of the storm is also in charge of their "luck" whether they can return home alive.

"Then I hope you will make a lot of money."

He Ao took the talisman and said with a smile.

Hearing this sentence, the little girl was stunned for a moment, she looked at He Ao, nodded seriously, "Thank you brother."

He Ao smiled, waved goodbye to the little girl, turned and walked out of the street.

Turning out from this pedestrian street, and crossing a few alleys, a simple small building appeared in He Ao's vision.

This is the branch of the research institute in Newland. At this moment, the branch has been isolated, and a few people who look like members of Moonlight are guarding outside the branch.

It seemed that Wu Lan hadn't arrived here yet. After all, she still had to gather people and arrange handovers before she could come here.

Moreover, it is not as fast as the Verola by plane.

He Ao paused here for a moment, then looked away, and continued to wander forward.

The morning sun in the sky continued to climb upwards, just as He Ao found a restaurant, ordered a grilled steak, and was about to have lunch, a middle-aged blond man with old-fashioned glasses who looked refined and sat down in front of He Ao.

"Oh, it's early."

He Ao glanced at the man in front of him, and said with a casual smile, "Would you like something to eat?"

"no need."

The man quickly shook his head, "My name is West, and I am the person in charge of Moonlight in Newland,"

He paused for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "Mr. Hao Yi, what is your business in Newland?"

"Nothing,"

He Ao cut open the steak in front of him, and said slowly, "I'm here for a trip, is there a problem?"

"No problem no problem,"

West wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Do you have a place to stay? The Maple Leaf Hotel in Newland is the building with the best view and the tallest building in Newland. I have already arranged for you the presidential suite on the top floor..."

"Need not,"

He Ao smiled, and shook his head, "I've finished shopping, why don't you recommend me another nearby place suitable for travel?"

"what?"

West glanced at He Ao, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "How about Waylon? Surrounded by mountains over there, it has a different style from Newland, which is all over the sea."

"Okay, thank you."

He Ao nodded slightly, and then he continued to cut the steak slowly without speaking.

West understood that he was seeing off the guests, so he nodded and stood up with a slight bow, "Then eat slowly."

After speaking, he turned around and left the small shop slowly.

The moment he walked out of the store, the sound of a train passing by rang behind his ears.

He looked back immediately.

The seat where the young man was originally sitting was now empty.

-

"'Hao Yi' has left?"

In the magnificent room, the person sitting in the chief seat asked in a low voice.

"According to our information, someone saw him in Waylon."

The person on the left of the chief seat said in a low voice, "The Verola is indeed a good thing, such a long distance, so suddenly."

"What does this 'Hao Yi' mean?"

The person in the chief seat lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"He has always been close to the research institute, I'm afraid he came to support the research institute,"

The person on the right side of the chief seat said, "This is to put pressure on 'Yueguang' to cooperate with the investigation. The appearance of the B-level of the research institute here will trigger a strong rebound from Yueguang. It is not so much for him to appear here, after all. On the surface, he is still neutral."

"No matter what his purpose is, the appearance of this guy may seriously affect our plan,"

The person on the left side of the main seat whispered, "When a B-level appears, it will attract the attention of other B-levels one after another. There is not much time left for us to do things."

"Looks like we have to move faster."

The person sitting in the main seat whispered, he glanced at the person on the left, "Hu Wen rejected our request?"

"Yes,"

The person on the left nodded slightly, "Lenke, who was sent to contact Hu Wen's forces, has returned."

"Is that Lunk a D-rank?"

The person in the chief seat continued to ask, "How is the person?"

"Bloodthirsty, irascible, a villain who will kill without distinction and for no reason."

The person on the left commented.

"Such a man fits our teachings,"

The chief nodded, "Send someone to contact him, we are in urgent need of manpower."

"Do you really want to speed up the progress?"

The person on the right asked in a low voice, "The Velora is so fast, what if 'Hao Yi' comes back halfway?"

"The arrow has to be fired when it is on the string,"

The person in charge raised his head and looked at the sea and the city outside the window, "It's just an ordinary B-level, even if he has the Verola, killing him is easy."

Middle Earth · Northern Capital
"Hao Yi has been to Newland city-state?"

Li Cheng, the dean of the research institute sitting in the office, was a little surprised.

"Dean, didn't you contact him?"

Wu Lan in the remote video was also a little surprised.

"I contacted, I just didn't expect him to move so fast,"

Li Cheng rubbed his brows, "But he showed his face in Newland city-state, the people on the side of Moonlight should not play tricks on you. Moonlight has no confidence to offend a neutral B-level now. Good news, you should be much more relaxed."

"So Dean, what price did you pay to ask him to come forward?"

Wu Lan asked curiously.

"I do not know either,"

Li Cheng shrugged, "He said he would let me do him a favor later."

Newland city-state Vinland

This is the third largest island in the city-state of Newland, and it is also the most chaotic, most populous, and poorest island.

As a commercial free city-state, Newland's personnel control is not strict, which makes it easy for many people to mix into the city-state.

These people without clear identities and resumes gathered in Vinland Island.

Violence and injuries can be seen everywhere here.

A man with curly brown hair stepped on the falling twilight, walked through the messy alley step by step, and stopped in front of an old single-family house.

Because it is an island city, it is often visited by storms, so the buildings in the city-state of Newland are not high, and there are many single-story buildings with one or two floors.

And this single-family house is a mansion that was "sent" to Lunke after he joined the Liming deputy leader's faction.

Compared to other areas of Vinland Island that were full of gang members, the area where this mansion was located was considered quiet and peaceful, and the neighbors around were relatively normal working people.

At this moment, He Ao, who was wearing Lenk's face, took out an old key from his pocket and inserted it into the door lock.

After a period of simple exploration, he has gradually figured out the ability, effect and limitation of the 'Replacement Cloak'.

First of all, the person he chooses as a 'substitute' will be killed and erased directly. This was not in the news that the cloak gave him when he first obtained the substitute cloak, but he had anticipated this situation a long time ago, so Find a villain to do the experiment.

Secondly, after being replaced, He Ao will obtain some of the key memories of the selected person, and can directly possess this person's habits and fighting skills. He Ao even feels that the mystic symbols pointing to this person will also point to him , and as a price, this person's cognition will also interfere with He Ao.

However, He Ao also took this opportunity to test his resistance to cognitive impairment.

He has experienced eleven copy characters, each of which has its own memory and life, but the lives of these people don't seem to have particularly affected his self-cognition.

So He Ao has been thinking whether this is handled well by the system, or he has related resistance.

The conclusion is that there are.

After the cloak "replacement", when He Ao pretends to be someone else, he will feel the more obvious obstacle of self-cognition, not strong, but there is, not enough to affect He Ao's self-cognition.

This shows that the cognitive impairment of the dungeon character has been dealt with systematically. At the same time, He Ao's own cognitive impairment is also very resistant.

In addition to killing and obtaining information for a living, the cloak of a living being is also limited.

It can't choose someone who is too strong, it can only be C-level at most, and it must be a C-level that is not polluted by gods. If it is a particularly strong C-level, it must be marked as dying. Inherited, but will be directly extracted.

Moreover, it has a cooling-off period of almost two days. After using it, you cannot choose other people as substitutes within two days, and you can only have one substitute identity at the same time. After changing the substitute identity, you cannot use the previous substitute identity.

But even with so many restrictions, directly inheriting memory, appearance, identity, and even mystical points, this kind of power is still terrifying.

After this ability enters the angel rank, I am afraid it will be even more terrifying.

He Ao inserted the key into the door lock and unscrewed the lock cylinder.

"elder brother!"

At this moment, the voice of an immature child sounded behind him.

Howe turned around and looked behind him.

A little girl with a plate appeared in his field of vision, "Brother, have you eaten? This is our new apple pie. Grandma said that you have just moved here, and the tableware may not be complete yet. I'll bring it to you."

This little girl is the little girl who sold the amulet to He Ao in the morning.

She happened to be the neighbor of 'Lenke', and her house was much smaller than that of Lenk's. When Lunke came in and out, he could often see her and grandma sitting in front of the door weaving grass amulets.

To be exact, it was precisely because of the little girl in Lenke's memory that He Ao would talk to her today.

He Ao looked down at the girl's little hands with a thin layer of calluses, squatted down, and asked curiously, "Little guy, where are your parents?"

"what?"

The little girl froze for a moment, as if hesitant. After a while, she whispered, "My parents are missing. They went shopping and never came back. Uncle Gendarmerie said that they are probably dead."

He Ao was also taken aback when he heard this answer, and he asked softly, "Just tell me like this, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?"

"My brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts all know that my parents are missing,"

The little girl took a look at He Ao's squatting body, trying to be at the same level as her, and added, "And my brother doesn't look like a bad guy."

"Oh."

Howard took the apple pie from her hand.

The reason why he had an impression of this little girl was because Lunk was planning to return from Velen, and killed these two 'troubled-looking' one old and one young, and nailed them to the wall.

No reason, 'Renke' just didn't like the way these two labored to weave the amulets.

"thanks,"

He Ao glanced at the apple pie on the plate, "Lady Luck will bless you."

"hey-hey,"

The little girl scratched her head, "Goddess of Luck will also bless my brother."

Then she bid farewell to He Ao, and walked back home bouncing around.

"I thought you were going to kill this little girl and dismember her."

Suddenly there was a sneer from behind.

call out--

The sharp dagger was pulled out in an instant, dancing a knife flower in the air, making a sound of piercing the void, and in the blink of an eye, the sharp point of the knife stopped firmly in the air, before the throat of the man behind him.

The point of this knife only needs to be pushed forward a little, and it can pierce the man's throat.

"Shh-"

There was a soft voice that seemed to invite the visitor to keep quiet.

He Ao raised his head and looked at the red-haired man behind him. The corners of his mouth were parted, revealing some bright red gums, "Do you want an apple pie?"

The surrounding air fell into a dim silence, only the sound of the man swallowing his saliva deeply, but he didn't dare to make too much movement, because the protruding Adam's apple was up and down, and it was easy to touch the knife stopped in front of his neck tip.

A trace of cold sweat dripped from the corner of the man's forehead. He stared at He Ao and said in a low voice, "Boss wants to see you."

Oh, it succeeded.

He Ao looked at the man with a smile.

But this is not good news, because it means that,

There really are snakes in the grass.

　I wrote too much, later, there are more than 6000 super-large chapters of nearly [-], please ask for a ticket.

The next update is noon.
