An old man hunched over at the door appeared out of nowhere.
He was wearing a washed-out, gold-colored overalls-style work uniform and a pair of worn leather shoes, giving him the impression of a wind-up, rusty music box. He held a yellow, thickly ash-covered kerosene lamp in his hand and glared at them with pale eyes. "Are you here for an internal interview?"
The captain wiped the sweat from his forehead and said respectfully, "Yes, Garden Director."
"Hmm." The old garden director coughed after saying this. The sound of thick phlegm in his throat made people's scalp tingle.
"Since you are here, come in." The gardener glanced at them. There was no emotion in his eyes, but people could not help but feel the invisible pressure.
This old man is not an easy character to deal with.
"By the way, follow me closely after you go in, and it's best to shut your mouths. Ahem, ahem, too much talk leads to mistakes, I'm sure you all understand that, right?"
The people who were still discussing in low voices nearby silently shut their mouths.
After entering, even with the scorching sun shining on it, Xu Nuo felt cold to the core. The gloomy atmosphere coupled with the gorgeous and luxurious castle manor made people feel a chill in their hearts.
Xu Nuo turned around and looked back, and found that the captain did not follow them in. Instead, he watched them all go in and then turned and left.
Xu Nuo looked at the ground and was slightly shocked.
The captain has no shadow?
"What are you doing? What are you thinking?"
Xu Nuo was pulled by the miner next to him, and then he came to his senses and quickly caught up with the large group.
He looked around the outside of the huge castle, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by a symbol.
It was a symbol unique to the boss—a scribbled stick figure giving the middle finger.
Xu Nuo also didn't understand why the secret codes of other organizations were all domineering poisonous snakes, white dragons, and eagle emblems.
Their secret code was a stick figure with a finger raised and a look of contempt.
He once asked his boss this question.
The eldest brother told him calmly: "This is the best painting I can draw."
It was then that he saw the unknown side of his eldest brother - his painting skills were not even as good as those of a three-year-old child.
The stick figure plus the middle finger is the pinnacle of his drawing skills.
Because such a mark is too embarrassing, only a few of the boss's confidants know about it.
Of course, the most marking pen was also specially made by the boss after research, and only people who have taken specific medicine can see it.
After seeing this symbol, Xu Nuo fell into deep thought.
How should he find the boss?
He was thinking as he followed the main force into a small gate.
Just as he was thinking seriously, someone patted him on the back.
…
Yi Li felt his throat was burning, as if he had eaten fifty kilograms of chili peppers. His face turned red, his hair was wet with sweat, and he was dirty all over, looking as miserable as a stray puppy.
She swallowed hard.
He looked around at this strange and dirty place.
The scratches on her body were nothing; her current environment was what she should be most worried about.
Yes, she was discovered.
Why her?
Because Jin Qing ran away before he was discovered.
It is euphemistically said that as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
She really wanted to give Jin Qing a 6.
She originally wanted to act pitifully and cutely to the housekeeper Zeng and beg for mercy, but the housekeeper Zeng actually deceived her and kicked her into this damn place called the Dark Mine.
She had only heard about it from them, and this was the first time she came here in person to see it for herself.
There was nothing around, nothing at all.
It was so quiet that the only sound was her breathing.
She took out one of the props she had obtained from the promise made to the boss in the "No One Survived" situation - the scent-hiding perfume.
It was a small bottle, but Yili sprayed it all over without any pain, and the smell of rotten meat mixed with artificial fertilizer and soil hit her face.
The smell made her gag.
I couldn't help but curse in my heart.
Who invented this perfume?
Why does it stink so much!
Yili walked forward while retching.
The long mine tunnel is so quiet that one can't help but imagine some strange things in the dim light.
I don’t know how long I walked, but finally a faint sound came.
It's the sound of mining horns.
"Ouch! Ouch! Dig harder!
Big gold and small gold grains roll out one by one!
The mine owner is so kind! He gave me three small pieces of gold!
One piece of gold for your wife, one piece of gold for your son, and one piece of gold for your daughter!
The wife took over with a smile, the son took over with tears, and the daughter took over with the promise of marrying the mine owner’s good son!
Ouch! Ouch! Dig harder!
..."
The further Yili walked, the more obvious the singing became.
A group of shirtless men in trousers were digging small golden mountains with pickaxes. Pieces of gold were pried off, broken into pieces and transported to the carts nearby.
The gold mountains are distributed here. Each gold mountain is taller than an adult and three to five meters wide. Miners fly out to mine.
Yili had only seen people digging for gold ore, but this was the first time he had seen real gold being dug.
She watched them sweating, the golden pickaxe hitting the small gold mountain like cracking rock sugar. Although it was a bit difficult, it was easy to bring down the fragments of the gold mountain.
clang clang clang!
The crisp metallic sounds mixed with their singing echoed in the mine.
The system that had been pretending to be dead finally took pity and started to do its job.
"Congratulations, player Yili, for arriving at the Dark Mine! Before you is the Dark Mine's gold miner. Gold miners consume significant amounts of energy daily to mine gold.
However, the stingy mine owner did not allow them to eat precious meat, and only allowed them to eat cold and hard steamed buns and dry and salty pickled mustard greens. In order to survive, they would eat anyone who strayed here.
As someone who has strayed in, please pass through here within ten minutes, otherwise you will be discovered."
Yi Li fell silent after hearing this.
Sure enough, the system was silent, which meant it was causing trouble.
She watched the gold miners working, her eyes fixed on the mine carts being prepared for transport.
One minute later.
The shaking car carried her forward.
The heavy gold mine was overhead, but fortunately the cart was large enough to require two miners to push it, so she could squeeze herself inside effortlessly. Yili used props to support the heavy gold so that she wouldn't be crushed to death by it.
Just when Yili thought he was on a safe journey, a loud noise suddenly sounded beside him.
Yili closed his eyes speechlessly.
A greeting in English abbreviation came to my mind.
It was some errant gourmand who ruined her good fortune.
The car was directed.
The singing and knocking sounds in my ears disappeared in an instant.
It was so quiet that she could hear her own breathing.
If Yili could look up, he would see an extremely horrifying scene.
Their eyes were all on her car.
