Chapter 124: Strange Talk about the Rules of the Exhibition Hall

The dark area is dangerous. Perhaps the rules have been contaminated by certain creatures, which eventually led to this situation.

Rong Le's eyes scanned the entire area.

If you encounter any abnormal situation in the rules, you need to report it to the black-clad employees in the display area. They must leave here first. Confrontation is impossible and there is no need to create unnecessary trouble.

Soon, just as he was paying attention to the entrance and exit, Tina suddenly said, "Teacher, I saw an exit."

Rong Le looked in the direction he pointed and found that there was indeed an exit not far away.

And he also found the spiral staircase.

The stairs connect the upper and lower floors. Perhaps by going down the stairs, you can return to the D-level display area. Perhaps everything in front of you is an illusion, and the exit is the real one.

The rules say unfamiliar entrances and exits, yet both options look very familiar.

Just when they were about to act rashly, another area not far away suddenly turned dark.

The gradually approaching darkness brings an indescribable sense of psychological oppression. Staring into the darkness, it seems as if it can swallow them all and they will never be able to escape.

Rong Le made a decision: "Take the stairs."

Taking the wrong stairs would simply lead to another area, and they still had the possibility of turning the situation around. However, if the entrance and exit were not the original one, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Moreover, they were inexplicably drawn to this area, and darkness was gradually approaching. At this time, an entrance and exit suddenly appeared, as if saying, "Come here quickly."

People with fragile psychological acceptance may really fall into the trap. When faced with danger, some people often become confused and unable to think calmly.

Tina made a prompt decision and rushed to the stairs with Rong Le. He obeyed Rong Le's instructions unconditionally and always believed in his words.

Even if Rong Le made a seemingly incomprehensible move, he would automatically give him a reasonable explanation. In short, the teacher's decision must be correct.

Rong Le completely saved herself from unnecessary arguments thanks to her trusted teammates. Without any further delay, the darkness behind her seemed to know that the prey was about to escape. The speed of darkness gradually accelerated, and the lights above her head turned off at a rapid speed.

It wasn't until Rong Le completely ran into the range of the stairs that darkness almost bit him on the heels.

The entire B-level area was shrouded in darkness.

The pitch-black darkness made it almost impossible to see anything. Only tiny sounds kept ringing out, as if the collections on the display shelves had come alive and were wandering in the darkness.

B-level collections are already very dangerous. Apart from the top-level S-level collections, A-level is the strongest, and B-level is only slightly inferior, which shows how dangerous it is.

Rong Le unconsciously touched the collection in her arms. The jar was filled with a light golden liquid that emitted a little fluorescence even in the dim light. The two little figures were still floating quietly in the liquid, as if nothing could disturb them.

If Chang Shan had grown up at that time, he would indeed have had the strength of B level.

Thinking of this, Rong Le suddenly touched the secret pocket in her arms, and her expression suddenly became somewhat interesting.

Tina noticed that his expression was not right: "What's wrong?"

Rong Le shook his head slightly. Even on the stairs, he still didn't relax easily. His voice was very light: "One is missing."

Tina understood what he was talking about.

It stands to reason that light items stored in secret pockets are not likely to fall out. Unless someone can sneakily take out a document from Rongle's personal belongings, there is basically no possibility of losing it.

But... who knows if there are any collections with similar functions in the B-level exhibition area?

Rong Le sighed: "I finally understand why the rules require this and why there are employees in red."

There are always prosecutors who have encountered the same situation as them. Losing documents is very likely to happen and is basically difficult to resist. That is why there are blue-shirted employees whose purpose is to help them supplement their documents.

Once the collection obtains incomplete certificates, it will automatically change from a collection to a red-clothed employee. It can use various methods to obtain certificates until it collects all three certificates to change its identity.

Correspondingly, red-shirted employees must abide by the rules, cannot act at will, and are more likely to be killed.

Tina glanced at the darkness of the B-level display area. Even after hearing such terrible news, she remained calm and asked, "Do you want to go back?"

If we find the employee in red, we might be able to retrieve his ID from him.

Rong Le stopped his dangerous thoughts: "No, there's no way for us to go back now. There's only one way, and that's to find the blue-shirted employee to get the replacement documents."

Tina had no objection to his decision. Fortunately, the choice of stairs was indeed the right one. They went down the stairs and arrived at the C-level display area.

As long as you go down one more floor, you can return to the D-level display area, meet up with Sheng Mao, and then go to replenish the items.

On the other side, Sheng Mao cautiously leaned against the entrance, staring at the quiet display shelf in front of him, not daring to move at all.

After wandering among the display racks for a while, he realized that he had lost contact with the others, so he tried to find Tina and Rong Le to reunite, but he didn't expect that countless display racks blocked his view.

He glanced at the gaps in every display shelf, but did not see Tina and Rong Le.

It was as if the two of them had disappeared out of thin air.

Sheng Mao was very self-aware. When he found out he was lost, he immediately ran to the entrance and exit. He still remembered that one of the rules was about the entrance and exit.

Rong Le and Tina would not abandon him here. As long as he stayed here, he could wait for them.

Although before he saw Rong Le and the others, an area of ​​the D-level display area suddenly became dark, Sheng Mao felt numb all over when he remembered the requirements of the rules.

At this time, he should immediately go to the black-clad employees for help, but he didn't want to act separately from the two of them.

Fortunately, his choice was correct. After almost half of the D-level display area was shrouded in darkness, he finally saw Rong Le and the other person on the spiral staircase.

Sheng Mao wanted to cry but had no tears: "You are finally back!"

He really couldn't bear it anymore.

Rong Le understood what was going on at a glance and praised: "Well done for not running around."

Although it feels good to be praised...but I always feel something is weird about being praised for this reason.

Sheng Mao saw Tina's sharp gaze from beside him and laughed dryly: "Did we get something? Can we leave now?"

Although I am very curious about what Rong Le and the others encountered, now is not a good time to speak.

Rong Le and Tina came running down the stairs, darkness shadowing behind them. They said quickly, "We've found the collection, but one of the documents is missing. We need to find the blue-clad employee to get a replacement."

...Fortunately, I didn’t choose to look for the black-clad employees!

Sheng Mao broke out in a cold sweat and quickly followed them out of the exhibition hall.

They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they left there and escaped the omnipresent darkness.

The rules say that the blue-clad employees are at the gate of the display area, which is almost the same position as the black-clad employees. It is very likely that the blue-clad employees' offices are in the staff area next to the gate.

If you want to reach the blue-clad employees, you must first face the black-clad employees.

The rules have already stated that if you lose your ID, you should not go to the black-clad employees. So how to bypass them and find the blue-clad employees, successfully replace the ID and bring it back, is a difficult problem.

Sheng Mao: "This mission is tailor-made for me. Leave it to me and I will ensure that it is completed."

Rong Le nodded: "Tina and I will attract the attention of the black-clad staff at the door, and you will sneak in and find the blue-clad staff."

He handed all his documents to Sheng Mao, who felt they were too hot to handle. "Give me all of them?"

What if he lost such an important thing?

Rong Le smiled and looked at Sheng Mao gently: "I believe you can do it."

No, don't suddenly attack him with holy light!

Sheng Mao screamed in his heart.

Rong Le's smile only lasted a few seconds before returning to normal, her expression oppressive: "You can do it, right?"

Sheng Mao: "No, no problem!"

You will die if you can’t do it!

After Rong Le solved this problem, he led everyone to the gate. The terrain here was exquisite and complex, and it could be seen that it was well maintained.

Before the gate appeared in his sight, he confirmed one last time: "Tina and I will attract the attention of the black-clad employees. You just need to sneak in and complete the necessary documents. As long as the three documents are complete, we will be safe."

Sheng Mao nodded solemnly.

Then Tina walked out openly, and after a while she was seen by the black-clad employee. She was immediately locked onto. The black-clad employee's eyes suddenly turned blood red, and he began to chase Tina.

Rong Le assisted him in sneaking away from the black-clad employee, and Sheng Mao took the opportunity to sneak into the office and look for the location of the blue-clad employee.

He nervously walked through the corridor. The office at the door was not wide and the corridor was a bit narrow. Until he saw a figure in blue clothes in the gap of a door, he looked up and saw that it was indeed the document replacement office.

Found it!

Sheng Mao pushed the door open and asked the employee in blue to reissue his certificate. The employee in blue was very friendly and started helping him with the application without saying a word.

He looked at the time and watched the actions of the blue-clad employee until the blue-clad employee respectfully handed him the reissued certificate with both hands.

Sheng Mao subconsciously took the ID and wanted to leave, but then his movements suddenly froze, and he stared at the ID in his hand as if he realized something.

The employee in blue can indeed make up the documents, but he did not say that he is on the side of the employees.

The rules are followed by a sentence: Please make sure the documents are authentic and valid, which seems to imply that there may be problems with the documents reissued by the blue-shirted employees.

Sheng Mao immediately began to check the documents. Even though he was anxious to get back to Rong Le and the others, the completion of the mission was the top priority.

Finally, he found the place where the documents were shoddily made.

He slapped his ID in front of the blue-clad employee's desk and said, "There's something wrong with your replacement ID. I need a real, valid ID!"

The blue-clothed employee's expression suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy, and he looked at Sheng Mao sinisterly, as if he was thinking about how to swallow him in one bite.

If it was Sheng Mao from before, he would have started trembling a long time ago.

But at this moment, Sheng Mao was surprisingly bold: "Hurry up and get me a new certificate."

Asshole, don't waste his time!

Under his pressure, the employee in blue with a sullen face reissued his ID. This time, Sheng Mao stared at him seriously until he got the new ID.

He felt relieved when he saw that the certificate grade showed D (B), and the other two certificates showed the same.

After re-issuing the documents, Sheng Mao had all three certificates. Rong Le and Tina probably no longer had the pressure from the black-clad employees. The next task was to sneak back quietly, preferably leaving here before the black-clad employees came back.

Sheng Mao was already very skilled at this job. He reduced his presence to a minimum and moved towards the exit as quickly as possible. Not far away, the employees in black were also preparing to return to their jobs.

Sheng Mao gradually approached the exit, and Rong Le and Tina were waiting for him in a hidden corner.

Finally, Sheng Mao passed by the employee in black and left. The employee in black looked around with some confusion when returning to his post.

Several times, his eyes had fallen sharply on Sheng Mao's position, and then he looked away in confusion.

Finally, since no target worth hunting down was found, the black-clad employees stopped pursuing the matter and returned to their posts.

After Sheng Mao returned to Rong Le and Tina, he unlocked his innate skills, revealed his figure, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

He finally survived.

The black-clad employee is indeed very powerful. It is not easy to deal with him without being seriously injured and wait for Sheng Mao to complete his mission.

Fortunately, with the cooperation of Tina and Rong Le, relying on the terrain and tacit understanding, they managed to hold on until Sheng Mao completed the processing of the documents.

Rong Le: "Now that we have found the collection and the documents are here, we can leave here."

Just as Lao Wang said, even though he and Tina had slipped away for a while, the black-clad employees who handled their qualification inspection procedures seemed to have forgotten what they had just done and successfully completed their procedures.

The collection was originally listed as D-level on the certificate, but it was gradually increased to B-level after Rong Le somehow found the [Immortal Lover]. Perhaps this is the special case that Lao Wang mentioned.

Although we were delayed for a while when leaving the exhibition area, it did not delay the deadline for returning to gather.

When Rong Le and the others returned, Lao Wang couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the collections they brought out of the exhibition hall.

"It's actually a B-grade collection... It's already considered a high-end collection. It must have taken a lot of effort to obtain it. You guys really surprised me."

Class B collections are well-known even among Lao Wang's team of prosecutors. I didn't expect these newcomers to be so capable. They must have suffered some difficulties in applying for collections at a higher level.

As Lao Wang said this, he couldn't help but raise the scores of the three people again.

He was indeed very interested in the newcomers this time. If he had not happened to encounter the escape of S-level collections, he would have found a way to test the qualities of these newcomers.

At first, he was optimistic about Tina, who was wearing a long sword on her waist and was obviously a good fighter. Later, he didn't expect that this group of newcomers were all convinced by the more handsome young man.

As for Sheng Mao at the end, he was able to hang out with the other two teammates, which showed that he had some skills. It’s just that sometimes Lao Wang couldn’t even remember him.

Now that they are back with B-level collections, it seems that we cannot ignore them just because of their lack of experience.

Lao Wang was re-planning the regional allocation in his mind.

When everyone gathered at six o'clock, he divided everyone into groups according to regions. Rong Le and the others were assigned to the residential area, and their temporary authority was the same as that of other prosecutors.

That is to say, they can act according to their own wishes without following the orders of other prosecutors.

This time the plan to capture the fugitive collectors was simple, and their mission time was before dawn.

They were allowed to go anywhere except the top-secret areas, and use all means to dig deep into the places where the Foundation might hide the collections, with the aim of forcing out the S-class collections.

Lao Wang will carry the Scales of Judgment with him, and as long as the S-level collection is forced to move, he will immediately reseal it.

From ten o'clock to five in the morning is the time they carry out their mission.

After the meeting, everyone had a simple meal to keep their energy levels high, then returned to their workstations to rest and prepare for the night’s battle.

The collection is highly contagious, which means that someone in the foundation is bound to be infected, and they will inevitably encounter certain obstacles in their search for S-level collections.

Rong Le also returned to his workstation and closed his eyes to rest, hoping that his daily routine would not be disrupted after these few days. If he continued like this, he would really become a night owl.

As soon as ten o'clock arrived, everyone got up from their workstations. It was pitch black outside the window, with only the street lights still on. The streets were quiet and deserted, with only the figures of prosecutors wandering in the night.

The facilities in the residential area are indeed very rich, covering almost all imaginable leisure and entertainment venues. It can be called a large commercial plaza and is also the area with the largest area in the foundation's regional distribution.

What Rong Le and his friends have learned is just a small part of it, and there are many more buildings waiting for them to discover.

The residential area also has the largest number of prosecutors. The population here is densely distributed, making it easier to hide hidden items. Rong Le and his colleagues first followed other prosecutors to inspect several locations. After understanding the working methods, they left the team and inspected separately.

At first, there were still a few residents wandering around the residential area, and even several conflicts broke out. When they arrived, they found that it was the residents who were contaminated by the collections who were attacking the prosecutors.

After the dormitories were closed, the streets suddenly became empty.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Most of the buildings and facilities were quickly checked by the prosecutors. Rong Le saw it all but did nothing. He just stood there thinking.

S-level collections are very intelligent, and the hiding place they choose must be the result of careful consideration. There must be some place that they pay special attention to, or even a hiding place that is easily overlooked.

Suddenly, Rong Le thought of something and said to Tina and Sheng Mao, "Let's go to the dormitory building."

They had more or less encountered most of the dormitory building's rules, except for one rule that Rong Le had paid a little attention to before, but it was soon diluted by what happened next.

The dormitory building has a total of twelve floors, ten above ground and two underground. The underground floor requires authorization to enter. They live on the first floor and do not need to pass through any floors, nor do they know anything about the situation on other floors.

Even if the rules state that you cannot randomly cross layers, there is always a way to check the situation, like now.

After explaining his purpose to the dormitory manager, the manager's shadow swayed slightly, as if looking at him: "The basement... is the processing area. Upstairs, they are all experienced staff."

What the building manager meant was that the basement was even less guarded and more prone to hiding, and experienced employees would not allow unfamiliar collections to appear in their dormitories.

Rong Le and the others decided to go to the underground level.

The door to the basement requires the building manager's key. As the door creaked open, Rong Le and the other two walked into the basement.

The door slammed shut behind him. The building manager would stand guard outside the door, waiting for Rong Le and the others to finish their inspection and come out.

The basement is also a dormitory building. Some of the abandoned dormitories have very dilapidated doors, and some are even half-open. Dust has fallen on the furniture, forming a thick layer, and even forming a web in some corners.

The meaning of the processing area might be a place used to deal with those monsters, but Rong Le thought about how the building manager dealt with the monsters, and felt that perhaps there was no need for this place to exist.

That's why this place looks like it hasn't been used for a long time.

Since the rules include the second underground floor, it means that the rules must be followed even in the underground floor.

Because the area was too large, Rong Le winked at Tina and Sheng Mao, indicating that the three of them should act separately. The two of them would search for traces of the collection on the first underground floor, while he would go to the second underground floor to explore alone.

Compared to the gate on the underground floor, the gate on the second floor was not blocked. The old and dusty iron gate was covered with rust, and a slight push would bring out a puff of gray mist.

Rong Le raised her hand to wave away the dust in front of her eyes, took a deep breath, and walked into the second underground floor.

The long and narrow corridor was dim, and the lights above were flickering, as if they would go out in the next second. In the empty environment, only Rong Le's footsteps could be heard softly, echoing in silence.

If there is a place where the collection is most likely to appear, Rong Le believes that it is most likely in the dormitory building.

The complex density of the crowd brought huge difficulties to the search. Even the prosecutors subconsciously avoided this option. Not all the members living here were people they could afford to offend. Even if they had mission authority, it did not mean they could act recklessly.

But cunning collectors take advantage of this.

This is a game of time and psychology, and it depends on who can get the final victory.

The longer the time is delayed, the more conducive it is for the collection to hide. A drop of ink is dropped into clear water. It is clearly black at first, but as time goes by, it will gradually blend into the water, making the clear water turbid.

In the end, the original drop of ink cannot be found.

Suddenly, Rong Le stopped.

Behind a half-open door, there seemed to be the sound of a living creature. The person had almost no intention of hiding his tracks, as if he was declaring war on him carelessly.

Towards a new operator in the executive department.

Rong Le sneered slightly and pushed the door open. When his eyes met with the familiar figure, he knew that he had won the jackpot.

The S-level fugitive collection item that was strictly investigated by all executive departments appeared in front of Rong Le in broad daylight.

"It's you... Rong Qing."

In front of him was a young man with black hair and green eyes who looked similar to him. He seemed a little more mature, and no one would doubt the brotherhood between them.

At that time, Rong Le had come into close contact with a figure during a night patrol. Although he was not contaminated, he could still see the appearance of the S-level collection.

An S-class fugitive collection with a face exactly like Rong Qing's.

At that time, Rong Qing smiled slightly, leaned over and put her finger between her lips, with a smile in her green eyes.

Then she shushed him softly.
