Chapter 25 Got caught~…

It's so perverted.

Could this Omega be Lin Zhi’s cousin?

No wonder his appearance, temperament, hair color, figure, speech and manners are so similar to Lin Zhi. It turns out that they are from the same clan and grew up in the same environment.

But he was getting closer and closer to the truth...

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and said to the shadow, "You already know it's the royal family, so why don't you check them one by one? There are only a few people in the royal family and clan, wouldn't it be easier to find the one with golden hair?"

"oh oh……!"

Black Shadow thought the boss was looking for some information, but it turned out that...

The boss is determined to get to the bottom of the matter and will dig deep into the ground to find the owner of this hair!

Lu Yuan frowned, bent down to pick up the cup, and recalled what little he knew about the royal family.

Luo Xing admitted that he was with Lin Zhi voluntarily, and they seemed to have a good relationship.

But he remembered that Lin Zhi always seemed to be alone and had no close siblings?

The black shadow blinked and looked at Lu Yuan.

Why did the boss react so strongly? This is not common!

The only thing that could cause such a huge emotional fluctuation in the boss was...

The shadow asked, "Golden hair... and royal, is this hair your majesty's?"

Clang——

The metal cup fell to the ground again.

Lu Yuan: “…”

Lu Yuan looked at the black shadow expressionlessly.

The shadow swallowed, "Isn't it?"

“…”

The next second, he saw the boss, who had been wiping the cup for a long time, turned around and left. It seemed that he was going to the boxing ring again, and he was cursing something.

“……?”

If it isn't, then it isn't. Why react so strongly?

The boss is really weird!

…

…

It was already evening when Lin Zhi arrived at the lower city. The sky was gloomy, making the city look even more chaotic.

He changed into a cape and a more low-key mask and made it to the West End smoothly.

Lin Zhi was very careful not to attract anyone's attention along the way.

The West District was even more chaotic than the outside, with houses stacked one after another and streets winding around. Lin Zhi saw garbled characters appearing on the watch in his hand.

...I guess the other watch is nearby, but the obstacles and routes are too confusing.

Lin Zhi thought about it and came to an auction house.

"Boss, would you like this?" Lin Zhi handed the watch to the man at the counter. "I want to consign this watch. The price is one million."

The auction house in the dungeon is not just a simple auction house. As long as enough handling fees are paid, anyone can put anything up for sale.

"One million?!" The boss looked at Lin Zhi's watch and said, "This is a children's watch, one million?"

Lin Zhi thought to himself, I just want one million.

Instead of searching for Sasha's family in a crowd, it is better to use Sasha's watch as bait and let them come to you on their own initiative.

After all, the auction house will put the auction items on display boards in every area of ​​the downtown area, and Sasha's family will definitely not remain indifferent when they see it.

The boss confirmed again and again, then asked suspiciously, "You...it seems like you're new here. Do you know our rules?"

"Yes." Lin Zhi said calmly: "The handling fee is 30% of the listed price. I can transfer the money to you immediately."

“…Okay, okay.”

It's not surprising that people in the dungeon sell things. Who knows what kind of dirty deal is involved, or whether it is stolen goods or physical evidence. The boss didn't say much and handed over the money to Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi said: "I'll give you an extra 30%, and you do something for me."

"Um?"

"If someone wants to buy it, don't sell it to them. I'll give you my contact information. Please quietly notify me to come over and help me hold them back. I want to meet the buyer, or anyone who is interested in this item."

The boss crossed his arms and said, "Okay... I can, but I have to tell you upfront: if you cause a dispute or even a fight in my shop, you'll have to compensate for the damage."

Lin Zhi glanced at the bodyguards surrounding the auction house. He thought that the boss must be used to doing all kinds of strange business. As long as the money was in place, there should be no problem.

"good."

The boss looked at Lin Zhi seriously for a few seconds, then lowered his head to record the information.

After completing the transaction, Lin Zhi had nothing to do except wait.

He didn't go far, but wandered around.

He saw another taco stand.

Lin Zhi remembered what Lu Yuan bought that day, paused, and went forward to buy another one.

...You know what, for Your Majesty who hasn't eaten street food for more than ten years, this taco is quite delicious.

Mainly the freshness.

Lin Zhi bit into the biscuit and turned to see a huge projection screen of one of the builders, which was broadcasting a live boxing fight.

Lu Yuan?

In the picture, Lu Yuan is holding boxing gloves and fighting with... a robot.

……robot?

Lin Zhi watched carefully for a moment, and after combining the information about the match on the side of the live broadcast, he realized that Lu Yuan had fought round by round to the final round in today's event, and the enemy in the final round was not a human, but a new type of robot that would be introduced in every boxing match.

Only then did he realize that this was more of a fighting arena than a boxing ring. Looking at the program list on the side, there was a live broadcast time and a mecha battle competition.

It seems that Lu Yuan treats the dungeon as his own toy. Whether it is a fighting arena or something else, it is just to make it easier for him to study his mecha.

"Bang--!"

In the video, Enigma, facing a robot as tall as two men, seemed to enjoy the battle rather than fear. He leaped forward, grabbed the robot's neck, and twisted off its head with his bare hands, revealing severed wires and a sizzling sound.

The muscles in Enigma's hands flexed, and sweat trickled down the smooth lines of his muscles.

After knocking down this SS-class combat robot, he showed an arrogant smile on his face, obviously enjoying the fight.

Lin Zhi was watching with such fascination that he didn't notice several pairs of eyes in the distance.

…

After the live broadcast on the screen ended, Lin Zhi also received a message from the owner of the auction house.

Someone asked!

Faster than expected.

When Lin Zhi arrived, he saw a teenage girl asking a staff member, "This watch...can I know where it came from?"

"be mine."

Lin Zhi stepped forward.

The girl was also wearing a cloak, as if to cover her appearance. She was hunched over and looked furtive, as if she was very alert to her surroundings.

Lin Zhi noticed that she still had wounds on her body.

Lin Zhi got straight to the point: "Are you Saria Mig's sister, Suzy Milo?"

Even though the girl's appearance cannot be seen clearly, judging from her age, she should be Sasha's sister.

“……!”

The girl, or Susie, shuddered, startled, and turned to run away.

Lin Zhi stepped forward to stop him, "I was entrusted by Shasha to rescue you. Where are your parents?"

"Sasha...?! I..."

Whoosh——

The next moment, Lin Zhi's eyes flashed, and he pulled Susie hard and hid behind a pillar nearby.

Almost as soon as the two of them dodged, they saw that their original positions had been replaced by the sudden artillery fire.

“……!”

A hole was blasted in the ground, and Susie was so scared that her legs went weak.

Now Lin Zhi knew why Susie was so wary.

The Duke's pursuers were chasing the family all the way.

But why?

It is not easy to hunt down people in the dungeon. Even Adolf can’t find the person and can’t get in. Why would the Duke know?

There were too many doubts about this matter, but Lin Zhi couldn't think about it too much now. He grabbed Susie and ran out.

The two men fled through the alleys, followed by four or five tall men holding high-powered rifles in their hands.

Perhaps out of concern for the mercenaries, they only dared to shoot on deserted streets, giving Lin Zhi and Susie a chance to catch their breath.

“You… who are you!?”

Susie looked at the figure in front of her who was pulling her away, who made her feel extremely safe. She panted and asked, "My sister...is she okay?!"

Boom——!

Lin Zhi protected Susie and rushed to the shelter nearby.

Lin Zhi, who had just finished marking, also gasped, "Alive."

"That's great...!" Susie's eyes were red.

Lin Zhi looked at the pursuers behind him and thought that this was not a solution. There were many pursuers and they were well-equipped. If he was alone, he would have found an opportunity to fight back long ago, but now he was with Susie.

He had to find a way to get rid of them...

Lin Zhi glanced at the manhole cover not far away.

——There is a secret in the downtown area.

Lin Zhi pulled Susie up, rushed to the side and opened the manhole cover, "Jump in."

“Ah…ah?!”

Susie looked down at the manhole cover—it was bottomless and pitch black.

"Jump...in?"

Susie was a little confused for a moment. Would she lose half her life if she jumped down?

As the footsteps got closer, Lin Zhi gave Susie a stern look and kicked her in, then jumped down himself.

“Dang!”

The manhole cover was closed again, and when the pursuers turned a corner and caught up, they saw that the street was already empty.

Where are the people... ?

…

…

Bang!

The two fell to the hard ground and Susie cried out in pain.

She hurriedly got up, but was stunned when she saw the underground passage in front of her.

this……

How could there be a road under the manhole cover?

There are also wall lamps on both sides of this narrow road, which looks like it was built by humans.

Susie looked at Lin Zhi who was standing aside. "Who are you? When we were escaping just now, why did you seem to be more familiar with the streets of the West District than I was? And where is this place? How did you find out?!"

Lin Zhi shook his head. "You've just arrived, so naturally you don't know that this is the escape route from the dungeon."

Susie kept shaking her head. "I'm not new here! I've been hiding here for a long time!"

"Ah...!" Susie's eyes widened. "Are you from the downtown area too?"

Susie looked incredulous, as if she wondered how Lin Zhi could be from the lower city.

Lin Zhi felt helpless.

In order to avoid attracting attention today, he specially disguised himself, for example, he ordered a cheap and tattered cloak, hoping to make himself look more like someone from the downtown area, but he still doesn't look like one?

Lin Zhi: "Then where do I look like I'm from?"

Susie turned her head away. "Like... the rich and powerful uptown people."

She was also from the upper city, but she hated the rich and powerful.

Only now did she understand that in the eyes of the powerful, there was no difference between ordinary people in the upper city and the untouchables in the lower city.

They only see profit.

But the Lin Zhi in front of me... doesn't look like him.

He also saved her.

"Thank you." Susie bowed slightly and said, "I've been harassed by these pursuers for a long time..."

Lin Zhi asked, "Where are your parents?"

"He...they..." Susie gritted her teeth, "They died...died at the hands of those pursuers..."

Lin Zhi paused.

He was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes and said, "The escape passage here connects to all parts of the underground city. We can go to the city gate from here. My aircraft is just outside the city gate. I can take you to the upper city to reunite with your sister."

"Uptown..." Susie was stunned, looking hesitant.

Lin Zhi said: "Don't worry, I won't let the Duke find you."

He didn't allow Susie to refuse, turned around and said, "Let's go."

…

“Aa ...

The manhole cover next to the city gate was opened, and then a slender hand emerged from the manhole cover.

Lin Zhi brought Susie out of the manhole cover. After he pulled Susie up, he was stunned.

He had goose bumps all over his body, like a cat whose fur stood up when it sensed danger.

Behind him was a familiar...smell.

Lin Zhi turned around and saw Lu Yuan standing beside him with his arms crossed, looking at him. His face was expressionless, and there was a rare coldness in his eyes.

Lin Zhi froze in place.

“Captain Lu…Captain Lu…!”

Susie's face turned pale.

——This was the name that the mercenaries called Lu Yuan at the beginning. Over time, everyone in the lower city called him that.

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and looked at Susie. "Since you ran down from the upper city to seek the protection of the mercenaries, why didn't you stay within the mercenaries' protection area and sneak out?"

"I...I'm sorry!" Susie walked out from behind Lin Zhi as if to surrender herself, and said anxiously and fearfully, "I saw a clue about my sister!"

Lu Yuan shook his head. "If it weren't for this 'kind-hearted person', the grass on your grave would be three meters high by now."

"sorry……"

Lu Yuan turned to look at Lin Zhi, looking at this Omega who he thought was "soft and harmless" and "fragile", and chuckled, "I didn't know you were so capable."

Lin Zhi paused.

...Damn Lu Yuan.

——It seems that he underestimated Lu Yuan’s control over the lower city area.

Not to mention the fighting arena, the entire downtown area is Lu Yuan’s toy.

As the owner of the lower city, Lu Yuan and the mercenaries might have known about him from the moment he first stepped into this city that never sleeps. The auction house owner might have already synchronized his information with the mercenaries.

Lu Yuan let him auction the items and let Susie run away just to see what he was going to do.

...No wonder the Duke's pursuers were able to break in. This was Lu Yuan's intention to lure them into a trap, find out the truth, and then kill them.

No wonder Susie was so hesitant when she heard about going uptown.

Lin Zhi gritted his teeth. No wonder Lu Yuan gave him the access card so easily.

Lu Yuan looked at Lin Zhi and said calmly, "Don't you want to explain, Omega?"
