Chapter 16
[HP: 2]
With his health bar turning dangerously bright red, Su Xingyuan slowly approached the Paishan Guild.
The gambler wants to bet that he can complete the prerequisites for the adventure mission before logging off.
It was already early morning and the sun would soon rise, which was the time when there were the fewest pedestrians on the road, but the Paishan Guild was still brightly lit.
Su Xingyuan's gaze fell on the black car outside the guild door and his eyes narrowed slightly.
This car... looks familiar.
Although the style was very ordinary, in the game, he would not think that any coincidence was just an ordinary coincidence - he seemed to have seen such a car when he left the portal that day.
It seems that there are guests in the Paishan Guild now.
Su Xingyuan casually took out a small telescope - players always find strange things in strange places, so don't pay attention to these details.
He looked towards the Paishan Guild office with large floor-to-ceiling windows, and three figures appeared in his retina.
At the same time, Fan Ling, who was about to leave, paused, suddenly turned around and raised her head, looking sharply in a certain direction!
——There is no one in that place.
"What's wrong?" Fang Mujian asked.
Fan Ling still didn't look away and frowned slightly: "It seems that someone is watching us. That is also a very suitable sniper position."
"Our uninvited guest is back again." Yue Chengan lowered his eyes, but said, "Then I'll have to ask the two adults to protect me. After all, I'm just a weak C-level."
On the rooftop of another building, Su Xingyuan, who had hidden himself immediately after seeing that the other party's level was invisible, recalled the information he had just seen:
"Fan Ling and Fang Mujian... Are they from the Hunter Association, here to investigate Yue Dahai's death?"
Their concealment and reconnaissance are much higher than his, which is why no information bar appears when he is observing. There is only one ID, and they can instantly detect the presence of sight. The level should not be low, at least B+.
Before the two hunters could respond, Su Xingyuan put his coat into his backpack, opened the mall, and found the item he had previously added to his collection.
【Fashion: Stylish black windbreaker】
[Description: No one dislikes fashionable people. You can quickly blend into a group of people without magic. During this period, it will be the most eye-catching thing on you.]
[Price: 200 gold]
Maybe it is ineffective against creatures with magical powers. Its price is not high, but we need to try it to see how effective it is.
Three minutes later, an "insider" appeared in the Paishan Guild Hall with a calm expression and smooth and natural movements.
Although he was only wearing a black windbreaker without any decoration, he looked extremely fashionable. He would smile and greet passers-by, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.
After watching him get on the elevator, one of the staff members who had just greeted this sunny and cheerful colleague asked:
"Do you still remember what just happened?"
Another colleague said blankly: "A…windbreaker passed by?"
*
The elevator reached the thirteenth floor.
Su Xingyuan walked out of the elevator without looking around and came to the archive room without any obstruction.
He could also hear the discussion behind him: "Who is he and why is he here? Isn't it said that..."
"The supervisor didn't stop him. We are only responsible for security, so we shouldn't worry about it. It might be a newly joined hunter."
"Manager, that windbreaker just now..."
"The security captain seems to be very familiar with him. He must have been notified by his superiors. The guild will be integrating and handing over power tonight. There are many people you haven't seen before. You'd better stay out of trouble."
——Su Xingyuan sneaked into the archives room with a smile on his face.
The things in this room are actually not that important, which provides the possibility of sneaking in by using psychological tactics. Su Xingyuan entered here not because of the so-called archival materials.
The small map showed a floor plan of his location, but the area occupied by the archive room did not look right.
——There should be a small dark room behind this room.
Just like the secret realm pass is not kept close to the person but mixed with things that are not worth mentioning in the eyes of hunters, the Paishan Guild's dark room is not located in the office but in the archives. Yue Dahai does have some ideas.
Su Xingyuan found the wall separating the wall from the dark room, destroyed the smoke alarm first, then took out the fire magic slate from his backpack and threw it at the wall. As the wall entered the judgment range of the slate, the slate instantly burst into a high-temperature flame.
The wall facing the flames was extinguished in the blink of an eye, while the edges began to burn slowly.
Su Xingyuan wasted no time, took back the stone slab and quickly entered the dark room.
When he saw what was on the table, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and his cat-like eyes blinked, suddenly becoming brighter. It was like the first time he scared the NPCs by doing a backflip, and then found their intelligent reactions novel and interesting.
The settings in the game can always bring new surprises to players.
Without giving it any further thought, he opened the drawer and put everything inside that might be useful to him into his backpack. Then, before the smoke alarm further away sounded, he left the same way he had come and entered the stairwell as if nothing had happened.
The moment I entered the stairwell, the sound of water and the alarm rang out together.
It looked like the fire had spread.
Su Xingyuan put on a bloodstained coat, maintaining his usual image - after all, wearing a fashionable black windbreaker to fight in style sounded a bit too weird - put on his hood, and walked upstairs leisurely.
In the office, Yue Chengan's face suddenly changed: "This alarm... No, his target is not me, but the archives room! Damn it, we must stop him!"
He stood up and wanted to go downstairs, but was stopped by Fan Ling with a gun: "Archive room?"
Her expression was cold: "It seems that you have hidden a lot of things."
"Fang Mujian, you stay here and watch him," Fan Ling made a quick decision, "I'll go down and take a look."
"Okay." Fang Mujian nodded.
Although judging from Yue Chengan's reaction, the other party's target is the archives room, but the fear is that it is a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
After Yue Dahai's death, Yue Cheng'an was the only person who might have important information, and nothing could happen to him for the time being.
He held Yue Chengan's shoulder and said, "You'd better behave yourself."
Yue Chengan's face was extremely gloomy. He opened his mouth to say something, but was suddenly pushed back by Fang Mujian's hand on his shoulder!
He staggered two steps, stood firm and came to his senses, only to realize that a long and thin poisonous sting was deeply embedded in the wall corresponding to the position where he had just been!
He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
Fang Mujian was not at ease either. He only noticed the attack at such a close distance that he didn't even have the strength to block or counterattack and could only dodge. This immediately raised his estimate of the strength of the person who attacked him by a level.
You know, even though he is a more auxiliary hunter, he is also certified and evaluated as A-level by the association!
The opponent's strength is likely to be more troublesome than they imagined.
Although he was not good at fighting, he immediately became extremely alert, his whole body tensed up, and at the same time, he tried to contact Fan Ling with his hand hidden behind his back.
Now it seems like a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but why hasn't she come back yet? With her strength as a combat hunter, she shouldn't...
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid that young lady is not in the mood to process your message right now."
Along with the inaudible footsteps, a young male voice came out steadily, as if he had already guessed what Fang Mujian would do. He said calmly: "Don't get me wrong, I have no ill intentions, and Miss Fan Ling is certainly fine. It's just that if you don't cooperate..."
The young man in a black robe with a strong smell of blood tilted his head slightly, thinking for a moment like a child, and then a smile appeared on his lips that were not covered by the hood:
"Then I can't guarantee what will happen to her."
Fang Mujian's finger, which was about to press the screen of his mobile phone, paused. He quickly estimated the time when Fan Ling would go down, and thought of the name "Fan Ling" that the man in black had revealed as if he knew them all. Finally, he slowly let go of the phone and asked:
"Since you have no ill intentions, what is your purpose for coming here?"
The man in black shrugged, looked at Yue Chengan, and said with a half-smile: "That depends on what Mr. Yue's red name means. I'm not so good-tempered that I would let someone who wants to kill me run wild outside."
Fang Mujian was stunned for a moment: "Red name?"
He reacted quickly and realized that this was part of the ability of the person in front of him? Can you see if other people have murderous intentions towards you?
Yue Chengan's eyebrows jumped: "Sir, you killed my uncle, of course I want to avenge him--"
"Well, what if I gave you that thing?"
That thing.
Yue Chengan's next sentence was stuck in his throat.
He couldn't tell whether the other party was joking or really meant it, and for a moment he was not sure what to say.
Seeing his reaction, the man in black smiled and said, "It seems that your love for your uncle is still quite flexible."
After saying this, his tone became completely cold: “Tell me how you got it, and I might consider letting you go.”
Yue Chengan gathered his thoughts, sneered, and said meaningfully: "It seems that you know what it is used for. Then do you know who is behind it and who is behind the Paishan Guild?"
"I advise you to return the things and not bring trouble upon yourself."
He thought that the man in black would ask about the situation or be stubborn or cowardly after hearing this, but he seemed to have discovered something surprising. He spoke in a long tone to Fang Mujian, who had been listening to their conversation and collecting intelligence:
"How scary! Could it be that the Hunter Association is standing behind the Paishan Guild?"
"Mu Jian, what do you think?"
Fang Mujian: “…”
He deadpanned, "The association treats all law-abiding hunters equally."
The young man in black laughed and said, "That means there are other big fish."
There was no fear or solemnity in his tone.
There was only a faint hint of a stronger hunting desire, as if whenever he was on the scene, he would be the only hunter, and any other existence, no matter how powerful, was just a bigger prey.
——The only function it has is probably to add some fun to this hunt.
