Management? Those who oversee them?
The person who killed Xiao Zhang and Boss He?
And before, when driver Liu yelled at them like that, I thought it was just a rumor. But now it seems they deserved it!
The girl and I almost simultaneously showed expressions of surprise, filled with disbelief.
I used to think that Blue Armor and the management were at odds, since those people were capturing Sea Marrow, while Blue Armor was one of the few owners of Sea Marrow!
Since he helped so many people at the boundary between the deep and shallow layers, how could he have made deals with those ruthless guys?
Are you sure you didn't hear wrong?
I asked him in an incredulous tone.
I'm feeling a bit uneasy. If these two parties are related, then maybe the clues they gave us before were fake?
Fatty Zhou nodded, his tone very firm.
"That's right! The contract they mentioned before, and the fact that Blue Armor would help them find something, although I only heard it secondhand, this information is absolutely true!"
Not all the people staying at my place are bad guys!
Some people have connections and influence everywhere!
Hearing her words gave me the creeps.
I glanced at the girl beside me; she was also frowning slightly, her voice filled with worry.
"Brother, should we go back to find Lan Jia? If he really is colluding with those guys, we'll just be walking into a trap and it will be even more dangerous."
Faced with the girl's question, I remained silent.
Deep down, I was very hesitant.
Indeed. I wanted to go to Lan Jia's place before to find out about the contract, but now that I know he has some dealings with these management members, the risk of going back has become too great!
It's entirely possible that we've been following his instructions all along, and if we want to understand the details of this contract, we can only ask him.
Why don't we just leave? It would be quick to get out now!
But then I thought, if we don't go, the sea marrow we got will basically be useless.
We initially wanted to obtain the sea marrow, and it was under Blue Armor's instructions that we came here to get it.
Ultimately, it was all to save the dew-covered branches.
But now, the dew-covered branch can't be saved, and the contract we have is an even bigger hidden danger.
I really have no idea what Blue Armor is up to.
"I have to go."
I gritted my teeth, my eyes hardening with determination.
“We need the clues from Blue Armor. If we take the Sea Marrow back now, that guy will definitely not leave the Dewdrop Branch untreated.”
And what exactly is the contract on his body? There's absolutely no way to find out unless you go to his room.
Otherwise, we'll be led by the nose by this shop assistant, living in constant fear and unable to escape in peace.
Another point is about the management. If they really have a deep connection, or if this blue-armored guy is helping the management, we can take the opportunity to beat up those bad guys and have some fun!
Moreover, only by going to Lan Jia's place can we find out whether he is friend or foe.
He's kept Boss Zhou around all these years, and it's definitely not just for money.
After listening to my words, Yiyi thought about it carefully and then nodded.
Lei Jijian, on the other hand, spoke directly.
"Go! We must go!"
His voice suddenly became excited.
"I didn't have a chance to give him a good beating before. If we find out anything, I definitely won't let that brat get away with it..."
And if he has any real skills, he should just show them off, acting all mysterious. It always makes me so envious!
I immediately told Lei Jijian to stop being so belligerent.
With his personality, he would definitely suffer if he went out to make his own way in the world.
His physical strength and extraordinary perception alone are definitely not enough.
At that moment, seeing my very determined gaze, Yi Yi gently tugged at the dew-covered branch in his pocket. After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally nodded.
“Okay, brother, I’ll go with you.”
We can look out for each other, and if anything goes wrong, we can evacuate immediately!
As she spoke, the girl flashed the wristband on her hand.
Indeed, without that wristband, we might not have been able to escape from there at all!
At the boundary between the deep and shallow layers, there were no taxis, only adult sea scabies mites chasing after us!
At this moment, Fatty Zhou also spoke up.
"If you decide, I will draw you a complete map to go back."
Don't take the main roads or straight paths; take the winding routes as much as possible. That will actually be the fastest way!
The fat man was gesturing there.
When I heard him say that, I hesitated for a moment.
What? Does that mean the optimal solution is to take the longest and most circuitous route?
The path that Blue Armor told us before was clearly one that we should try to take as short and fast as possible!
No wonder we encountered a roundabout, dense fog, and those fake corpses along the way!
At that moment, I felt completely lost.
The girl next to her also had her eyes wide open at that moment.
Boss Zhou added from the side, "I've been to that place once. If you take the normal route, there are plenty of traps, wolves, tigers, and leopards along the way, especially those adult insects in the sea, they're really disgusting!"
Hearing him say that, I was a little puzzled. Fatty Zhou had been guarding this inn the whole time. If it weren't for this time to save his son, he probably wouldn't have gone out to collect sea marrow.
Why would he go looking for Blue Armor, to that godforsaken place?
I couldn't help but voice my doubts.
"At that time, he had just finished renovating his house, and I went with him to see it."
However, the finished result was quite shabby.
Later, he gave me additional instructions, telling me to take good care of the shop there. Of course, I knew that, but from what he said... it seemed like he really didn't want me to go.
As Fatty Zhou spoke, he was also pondering with some doubt.
Simple?
I fiddled with it for a bit, and my doubts only grew stronger.
When we saw it, it certainly wasn't exactly shabby.
Although the decor of his place wasn't particularly high-end, it was small but perfectly formed.
They can't be pretending to be poor on purpose, can they?
Never mind, there's no time like the present.
Moreover, if that agreement is still in effect, we definitely don't have much time left.
After all, this agreement never gave us a truly specific timeframe from the very beginning.
The post office worker told us it would take exactly two days, but now, it might not even take exactly two days!
It could take a whole day, or it could take half a day.
The pocket watch that Lao Liu gave us is the best proof!
