Chapter 936 The Vault and the Strange Awakened

The operating ability of mutant beasts may not be as vigorous as excavators, but they cannot stand up to a large number.

When it comes to the precision of the work, the mutant beast is more precise than the excavator. It quickly cleared the ruins and locked the floor and a specific household.

This operation is equivalent to shaving your hair to find head lice, but there is nowhere to hide if there are head lice.

With all the hair gone, where else can head lice hide?
The Mutant Beast cleaned up the house clearly. Although it can't be said that it was completely restored, basically all the big and small objects in this house were clearly presented in front of Jiang Yue.

As small as an ointment or a cotton swab, none of them escaped the excavation of the mutant beast.

It's a pity that all the items presented to Jiang Yue have no reference value at all.The USB flash drives, diaries, and books and documents they were looking forward to were not there at all.

There are books, but they are some children's books, some picture books and albums, basically kindergarten books, and almost no adult books.

Lin Yifei couldn't help but said, "Student Xiaojiang, are you sure it's this family? This doesn't look like the residence of an archaeologist."

At this moment, a mutant beast took out a photo album.

As soon as the album was opened, there were photos of a family of three.A combination of a young couple and a young daughter.

The young couple is about 25 years old, and there are children from infancy to four or five years old. It is standard for a family of three in a typical modern city.

It's a pity that the photos are still intact in the ruins, but the family of three has long since disappeared.

Maybe it was gone at the beginning of the change, maybe it went somewhere else before the disaster.

All in all, the family of three is not in this house.

Judging from the daily necessities, there should be no one else living in this house, only this family of three.There is no trace of the residence of archaeologist Qi Baotian at all.

It seems that the house either changed hands, or was rented to the family of three.

However, real estate certificates were quickly searched out.There are the names of the young couple on it, and they are indeed the owners of this house, and it seems that they have nothing to do with Qi Baotian.

The husband and wife, there is no one whose surname is Qi.

Jiang Yue shook his head lightly. All the existing evidence showed that this house had nothing to do with Qi Baotian.

Even if Qi Baotian once lived here and owned this house, at least this house did not belong to Qi Baotian long before the strange era came.

It was already five years ago when the young couple applied for the certificate.In this way, even if Qi Baotian used to be the owner of the house, the property rights had been changed at least five years ago.

Jiang Yue was a little depressed. Even the information found by the Operation Bureau was five years ago.

In other words, the Operation Bureau could not find any more fresh information about Qi Baotian.

"Student Lin, forget it, you don't need to look through it anymore." Jiang Yue greeted Lin Yifei somewhat depressed.

It obviously doesn't make much sense to turn it over.

But at this moment, a mutant beast found a hidden compartment on the wall behind a wardrobe.Most of the wall where the hidden compartment is located has been broken and collapsed, but there are still [-] to [-] centimeters that are relatively intact.

The dark grid is at the seventy or eighty centimeters.

In the dark compartment, there is a small box.

It looks like the size of a jewelry box.

Seeing the box presented by the mutated beast, Lin Yifei was in shock: "Student Xiao Jiang, there won't be any backstabbing with this thing, right?"

Although the box is small, it can be held up with a palm.

It's just that there is no obvious brand mark on the box, so people can't tell whether it is a watch or jewelry.

Jiang Yue observed for a while, and with a flick of his finger, the box was opened.

It was neither a watch nor jewelry.

Inside lies a key!
Yes, a key with a somewhat peculiar shape.

Jiang Yue recognized at a glance that this was the key to the bank safe.

Jiang Yue exchanged glances with Lin Yifei, obviously a little surprised by the result.

If it's just a key, is it necessary to keep it so hidden?A hidden compartment behind the closet just to store a key?
Is this a little overkill?
Judging from the life level of this young couple, they are obviously not that kind of particularly rich family, at best they are ordinary working class, even if they have some savings and assets, they can basically be settled with a single card.

The young couple also have some wedding three-gold jewelry, and they just lock it in a drawer.

Even the young couple didn't have a safe at all.

A family that doesn't even have a safe will definitely not have too amazing wealth.

Then, this key is most likely not owned by the young couple.

The young couple had no reason to keep their valuable gold jewelry in a drawer and locked them. Instead, they ceremoniously hid a key in a secret compartment behind the wardrobe.

Isn't this chasing after the end?
Unless the bank safe corresponding to this key contains amazing wealth.

Judging by the life level of the young couple, this is almost impossible.

This young couple is obviously not the kind of hidden rich people.

The conclusion is almost ready to come out.

Most of this key does not belong to the young couple.But the people before the little couple have already been put in.

Probably even the young couple didn't know that there was a secret compartment behind the closet, and such a key was hidden in the secret compartment.

"Student Xiaojiang, don't look at it, I know this key. If I remember correctly, this should be the key to the safe of Bank X."

"You know all of this?" Jiang Yue was a little surprised. You know, Jiang Yue was a little helpless with this key. He tried to find some clues from the box, but unfortunately he found nothing.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yifei actually told the story straight away.

"It's just a coincidence. My beast father was also considered a successful man in the Sunshine Age. He can't trust anyone, and he likes to put valuables in bank safes. He rented several bank safes. Therefore, the safes of various banks in Star City I know what the key looks like."

"Sure enough, the experience of rich people is different." Jiang Yue couldn't help smiling.

"Hehe, for that kind of person, having money is a crime. If he had no money, he might not be so perverted. Forget it, these are not the point."

Jiang Yue nodded, and he really didn't want to chew on the misfortune of Lin Yifei's original family.

"Student Lin, since you know the origin of this key, you must know where is the safe corresponding to this key?"

"Not every bank has safes that can be rented. Only directly affiliated branches and first-tier branches have them. Of course, Star City is so big, X Bank doesn't know how many there are. You have to find them one by one."

Jiang Yue nodded: "It's rare to have such a strange clue, we must not let it go."

"Then look for it, it's not too difficult anyway. These places are not easy to enter in the sunshine era, why not enter casually now?" Lin Yifei said.

Jiang Yue said: "If this key belongs to Qi Baotian, then there must be something very important in the corresponding safe. I really have to go this trip."

"Student Xiao Jiang, don't be too optimistic. The weird era has been so long, and the bank must have been patronized by countless people. Many criminals will definitely target the bank. The banknotes in the bank may be waste paper, but the precious metals in the bank... This is hard currency at any time. Places like safes will definitely be targeted first."

Jiang Yue thought for a while, and then said: "If it is Qi Baotian's key, as he is, he will definitely not put those treasures in the safe, and there is a high probability that it will be something he secretly researched."

Qi Baotian must be a rich man who can sponsor so many archaeological projects.

A rich man has too many financial management methods, and a bank safe is definitely not enough to keep his wealth.

Therefore, Jiang Yue guessed that most of the corresponding safes were not money or jewelry.

This is not Jiang Yue's wishful thinking, but some speculation based on facts.

The hard work paid off, and when the two walked to the second branch, they found that the key matched the bank's safe.

This safe can be opened with a password, face recognition, and fingerprint recognition, but it also retains the original key to open it.

The two quickly found the corresponding safe.

Just as Jiang Yue was about to insert the key into the lock of the safe, his hand stopped suddenly.

Then he turned around, looked coldly at somewhere in the void, and snorted coldly, reminding Lin Yifei to pay attention that there were other people around the bank vault.

When he turned on the borrowing skill before, he didn't realize this. This undoubtedly shocked Jiang Yue, and he had a strong fear of this person lurking in the dark.

Although Jiang Yue finally discovered the existence of the other party, he could not observe the other party's perspective by borrowing his visual skills, which showed how strong this person's camouflage ability was.

Those who can avoid borrowing skills must be masters of lurking without exception. During the lurking process, they actively cut off their five senses and six senses.

Once in this state, there is nothing you can do with borrowing skills.

After all, borrowing is to use the perspective of the other party to determine the position of the other party.

If the other party takes the initiative to isolate the five senses and six senses, and completely controls himself in a dormant state, it is indeed difficult to be noticed.

If it wasn't for the fact that the other party showed some vitality just now, and Jiang Yue caught some clues, even Jiang Yue might have been deceived.

Lin Yifei and Jiang Yue had fought side by side, and they had a perfect understanding.

She reacted immediately, quickly sent a signal, summoned the mutant beast she controlled, and started searching around.

Lin Yifei is different from Jiang Yue. She lives in Qiluo Mountain, and the rules of survival have always been rough and straightforward. Once she senses a crisis, she doesn't think about so many complicated things. She must immediately take counterattacks to eliminate the crisis as quickly as possible and kill it.

The moment Lin Yifei activated the mutated beast, a figure snorted coldly in a corner on the other side of the vault, and sounded in the void.

Lin Yifei whispered: "I'll drag him, you open the safe first."

Jiang Yue originally wanted to say that he held the other party back and asked Lin Yifei to open the safe.

Just seeing Lin Yifei's posture, it is obvious that he is ready to go to war.It is obviously unrealistic for her to change her mind at this time.

Jiang Yue had no choice but to silently send out two mutual blessings, and then quickly inserted the key into the safe again.

There was a clicking sound from the safe, and soon the safe door was opened.

Jiang Yue looked down and saw that the safe was empty, except for a palm-sized box, which turned out to be a mobile hard drive.

Jiang Yue didn't even think about it, with a slight movement of his palm, the mobile hard drive was put into the storage bracelet by Jiang Yue.

After checking and confirming that there is nothing else in the safe, Jiang Yue did not delay any longer.

It was only less than 20 seconds before and after, and Lin Yifei's side had already been beaten to the point of danger.

Jiang Yue was also very surprised to see this.

You know, Lin Yifei's fighting power is very fierce. When dealing with Lin Yifei for the first time, Jiang Yue, Tong Feifei and others suffered a lot in that abandoned building waiting to be demolished.

If it weren't for Jiang Yue's bravery, he might have suffered a disadvantage in Lin Yifei's hands that time.

But right now, this inexplicably appearing enemy made Lin Yifei and those mutated beasts scream and scream, and even the persecuting Lin Yifei retreated steadily, screaming constantly.

After observing for a while, Jiang Yue knew why Lin Yifei was struggling so much.

Although Lin Yifei is very strong and has various methods emerging in an endless stream, Lin Yifei is not the kind of tough melee talent awakener after all.

And this inexplicable lurker forced Lin Yifei to fight him hand-to-hand with every attack.

And when this lurker started fighting, his whole body exuded a layer of electric light, and this person's attack could actually release electric current.

This undoubtedly made Lin Yifei very difficult.

Lin Yifei's various offensive and defensive methods are very good in themselves.

But in the face of this lurker's attack characteristics, he was still beaten very hard to parry.

It was the first time Jiang Yue saw an awakened person of electric attribute.

Jiang Yue saw it clearly, without saying a word, a stone wall ran across it, forcibly blocking Lin Yifei and the awakened person.

Hula Hula.

Jiang Yue did the same, summoning several stone walls in succession, criss-crossing, creating layers of barriers, temporarily isolating the opponent from the battlefield.

At the same time, he said to Lin Yifei: "I got it, let's go!"

Although Jiang Yue was shocked by this miraculous opponent, he obviously didn't want to fight with him.

Leaving the vault quickly with Lin Yifei.

Jiang Yue reacted very quickly, pulling Lin Yifei to drill into the ground, and directly used the ground movement technique.

Lin Yifei is also good at manipulating various mutant beasts, and both of them are good at underground work.

After a while, he walked thousands of meters underground through the ground movement technique.

Lin Yifei finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still had lingering fears: "What is the origin of that pervert? How could there be someone with such perverted strength in Star City? Could it be the new agent of the Tree of Strangeness? Why is this getting more and more terrifying?" gone?"

"It may not be the agent of the strange tree. If it is the agent of the strange tree, it will never be so idle. The strange tree has already let him wreak havoc in the entire Star City."

This is not alarmist.

With the fighting power shown by the one just now, it is definitely possible to destroy Star City.
