Chapter 15
J City Paishan Guild Branch.
"Did you find out anything?"
Fan Ling came to the door of the recording room and looked inside.
A thin young man was sitting in the middle of the recording room, rubbing his knuckles nervously, with dark circles under his eyes, looking very haggard.
But the fact that he is still sitting here means he hasn't said anything.
"Apart from the information about the abnormalities that occurred inside the gate, there is no valuable information about the unknown hunter... He himself has no magic power and is an ordinary person. He also insisted that the other logistics person was also an ordinary person. When asked about the characteristics of that person, he said he couldn't remember clearly."
"When the time is up, let him go."
Fan Ling finally said.
The young man's state did not seem like he didn't know anything, he just didn't want to name that person. And he was not forced to do so; he was unwilling to give the other person up from the bottom of his heart.
The Hunter Association represents the official position. They disdain to use other means, and do not want to embarrass ordinary people. In this case, it is better to let this person go back.
After all, the situation inside the gate is already known, and no matter who that unknown hunter is, the fact that he conquered the portal is a good thing in terms of the outcome.
The cell phone rang. Fan Ling opened it and found that it was a message from Fang Mujian.
Because an unknown person appeared in J City, Fang Mujian, who was supposed to go back to report, stayed behind to assist in the investigation. He is now working day and night to adjust the surveillance, especially the area near Xin Yunting's home. Considering that the unknown hunter is of a high level and following him might alert the enemy and even increase his resentment towards the association, the association did not send anyone to keep an eye on the Xin brothers and sisters.
First the monster was killed, and then the C-class team was wiped out in the D-class gate. They intuitively felt that these two events were related, so they investigated them together.
Thinking of this, she finally saw what the message was.
[Fang Mujian: The president of Paishan Guild was killed.] 】
The hand that was about to click on the screen paused instantly.
After a while, she finally reacted and her expression became completely solemn.
——Now there are not two things to investigate, but three.
*
The Paishan Guild headquarters building.
A low-key black sedan parked unobtrusively outside the building. Fan Ling and Fang Mujian got out of the car, followed by an investigator who specialized in cases involving people with special abilities.
If an ordinary person is killed by another ordinary person, the police will naturally take over the case. However, if a hunter is killed by a more powerful hunter, the investigation team of the Hunter Association will need to intervene.
"Wait, you can't go in."
The highly alert security personnel stopped him immediately.
Fang Mujian didn't want to waste time talking and directly showed his hunter qualification certificate: "I am Fang Mujian, an A-level hunter from the Hunter Association. We will take over the matter of Yue Dahai's murder."
"What?" The security guard remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard anything. "Our president's nephew is already investigating. He's very sad right now and won't let anyone in—"
Before he could finish his words, he was kicked to the side and hit the glass wall beside him.
"roll!"
Fan Ling gave him a cold look, retracted her foot, and strode into the interior of the Paishan Guild.
All those who wanted to come forward to stop them were forced back by the few shots she mercilessly fired at their feet.
Fang Mujian glanced at Fan Ling and did not say anything at this time that "Hunters cannot use their abilities on ordinary people casually", but followed her.
Fan Ling used to be a member of the Paishan Guild and hated this place so much that stepping into this building probably made her feel very irritated.
Only a fool would offend her in this situation.
She rushed straight to the president's office on the top floor, kicked open the door, and saw the young man sitting in the president's seat.
The young man was wearing glasses and was thin. He looked very shrewd and was a completely different type from Yue Dahai.
"So you are the adults from the Hunter Association. What a rare visitor." He seemed not surprised by their arrival. He stood up and held out his hand.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Yue Dahai's nephew, Yue Chengan, and I will soon take over the Paishan Guild."
Fang Mujian didn't shake hands with him, but glanced around the room: "You've ruined the scene."
Yue Chengan smiled, took his hand back, and said nonchalantly: "If you saw your own uncle die in such an undignified manner, you would also want to dispose of his body."
"Tsk." Hearing this, Fan Ling sneered and said, "You are still so good at making up lies. Tell me the truth, what are you afraid of?"
"Are you afraid that the association will find out about your mess, or are you afraid that..."
She looked around, her eyes sweeping over the messy lockers and boxes, as well as the empty state of them, with an even stronger mockery on her face:
"—Are you afraid that more people will know about the thing you hid in this office?"
*
[You have obtained [Secret Realm Pass]*1! 】
[Congratulations on finding the prerequisites for the adventure mission! 】
"A pass to the secret realm?"
At the same time, Su Xingyuan, who was waiting for the progress of [Damage Tolerance] to accumulate, was also using the moonlight to check out something with a particularly eye-catching name found in the spoils.
Yue Dahai's office was mostly filled with antiques and ornaments, and he had originally planned to give them all to Xin Yunting and the others. However, when he was packing his backpack, he suddenly noticed that behind the name of the shelf where the jade was placed, there was another name that was almost overlapping and obscured.
So he kept it, and after exploring it carefully when he had free time, he indeed found a layer in the groove under the jade, and took out a soft gauze as thin as a cicada's wing from it.
No one knows what this belt is made of, but it shines brightly under the moonlight. However, its name is [Passport to the Secret Realm], which has nothing to do with the real thing.
Who would have thought that a belt that is nothing but beautiful would be the admission ticket to a secret place?
[Name: Secret Realm Pass]
[Description: Carry it with you, and you may feel a call from somewhere]
——It is not only an admission ticket, but also a positioning device, which shows how important it is.
As expected, the most dangerous place is the safest place. If you put the credentials in an office that is just for show, people with bad intentions will only go to the warehouse or safe room of the Paishan Guild. What's more, Yue Dahai is directly in charge of the office.
After all, not everyone is like Su Xingyuan, who is not only reckless but also likes to swoop down and even pluck a feather from a passing bird.
Thinking of this, Su Xingyuan's mind flashed to the trash can left in the office, and he suddenly felt a little regretful -
What if the people in Paishan Guild have some unusual ideas and hide the useful things in the trash can?
The more I think about it, the more I feel I've lost out.
He said to himself, "I really should leave nothing behind next time."
After deeply reflecting on his mistake, he looked at the task log with an extra red dot. After clicking it, he saw the details on it.
【★ Secret Realm Prelude - Adventure】
【→Find the insider and explore relevant information】
[Limited time: 24h]
Su Xingyuan blinked.
This was the first time he had encountered an adventure mission in the game. He wanted to thank the Paishan Guild and Yue Dahai.
But... he lowered his eyes to look at the pass, and felt that there should be more passes than the one in his hand.
But the possible competition undoubtedly makes this matter more anticipated by players.
Judging from the log details, the secret realm has most likely not been opened yet, and the insider Yue Dahai is also dead. There is no rush, let's strengthen ourselves first.
Su Xingyuan stood up and was about to leave when he heard footsteps coming from a distance.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, jumped up silently, and landed on a branch high above the bench.
Before anyone came close, Su Xingyuan thought for a moment and quickly threw the black coat with a strong smell of blood into his backpack, leaving only a base shirt.
The street lights in this place were a bit dim, and the moon was hidden by the clouds. Unless one's eyesight or sense of smell was particularly outstanding, it would be difficult for him to be discovered.
Sure enough, the two men walking from the end of the road didn't notice him at all. They just looked around and walked hurriedly, as if they were looking for something.
——The hostile force is the Red Name.
Su Xingyuan followed them lightly.
The sound of the two people's conversation also faintly reached his ears with the wind.
"Can't we find a hunter with tracking ability? How can we find him without even a surveillance camera showing his face? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"Don't complain. Yue Chengan is very angry now. If we find clues about that person now, are we afraid that we won't be able to become his confidant?"
"But how did that person know where the thing was... Was there a traitor inside...?"
"This is the first time I've heard of this. It seems that the core layer..."
Su Xingyuan, who was listening in: I said I was just taking advantage of the situation to make some money, do you believe me?
It seems that the Paishan Guild was quickly taken over by another person in a short period of time, and that person was more concerned about the [Secret Realm Pass] taken away by Su Xingyuan than the news of the death of the former president.
He must know something too.
It seems that the plan to improve the training level can be postponed for the time being.
After the black-haired boy got the information he wanted, his emotionless eyes immediately locked on the two people with health bars above their heads.
With a slight push of the thumb, Ding Fengbo was instantly unsheathed, reflecting a snow-white blade light.
In just a moment, the health bar flashing in front of his eyes was reduced to 0.
Even if someone has malicious intent towards him, the NPC will not be easily judged as a red name. The health bar can only appear if the other party not only has malicious intent towards him, but also wants to kill him if possible.
Su Xingyuan didn't know where they got so much hostility from - or if you think about it simply, it's normal for such people to appear in the game.
It takes time to recover physical strength, but Su Xingyuan looked at the 24-hour countdown and felt that this was not a big problem.
Anyway, he can run, jump and fight. As for the others, it is likely that they cannot tell that he is seriously injured.
So, Su Xingyuan, who had only 5% health left, happily decided to return to the Paishan Guild headquarters.
Kill them with a surprise attack :)
