Although the town of Hodge is called "Town", its actual size and population are about the same as a city in the Kane Plane World, except that it has no walls. Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi cut into the orphan status and live in Windmill Street in the North District, where the sheriff is located, and this "Akaia's Cauldron" shop is in the southern business district, and it is normal to have not seen Bai Xiaowen and the two.

"I have some personal property disputes, but for some reason, I can't come forward personally," Bai Xiaowen said, "so I want to find some ...... Professionals are here to help me. ”

"Professional, what do you mean?" Akea's expression was intriguing, but his tone was a little more solemn.

Bai Xiaowen added: "It is a professional who can solve the problem by means outside the law, and when necessary, he does not mind a little bit of blood on his hands." ”

Akaea frowned and flicked the Plantagenet Empire gold coin in his hand: "Young sir, for the sake of the gold coin, I can provide you with a clue." However, I declare in advance that I am a law-abiding businessman. ”

Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly: "Of course, I just thought I had never been to this store." ”

Akaea nodded, "Okay." In fact, the professional you're looking for is right in Blackwater Lane, where we turn left at the end of the street. They have a unified organization called Raven. A decent businessman like me would never want to deal with those maggots. ”

Bai Xiaowen got the information he wanted, nodded in thanks, and then took out another Plantagenet Empire gold coin.

"Second question...... Are there any hidden religious sites in Hodge Town?" asked Bai Xiaowen.

"Isn't the Cathedral of the North End a religious site?" said Akaea with a frown, "If you're talking about hidden churches, there is also a small church in the commercial district, but there are not many people who go to worship because there are not many residents of the South Side who have faith. ”

"I'm not asking about the church of the Lord of Light. Bai Xiaowen said.

"Then I don't know," Akaia shrugged, "and it looks like I won't be able to earn a second coin, lad." ”

Bai Xiaowen nodded thoughtfully, and then left the "Akaia Cauldron".

Walking on the remote street, Li Shuyi asked, "I probably understand what the purpose of the two questions you just asked." The second question is about voodoo, and I won't talk about it for the time being until I ask for information. The first question should be the clue to the main quest, right?"

Bai Xiaowen nodded.

"Do you suspect that this underground organization called Crow is behind the scenes?" asked Li Shuyi.

"It's still uncertain," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "However, in the case of a large number of missing people in this city, the only place where you can get clues is the underground gang, except for the sheriff." I don't believe that these underground gangs have no idea about the disappearance of so many people. ”

The two talked while walking, and Li Shuyi speculated: "I think, this crow organization is inseparable from the disappearance case, if it is not the mastermind behind the scenes, at least it must be a peripheral organization, and it must follow the orders of the mastermind behind the scenes to kidnap people." ”

Bai Xiaowen smiled: "Don't be in a hurry to kill with a stick, go and see it first." ”

Walked to the end of the street and turned left, and the two stepped into Blackwater Alley.

"Hey, where did the two little lambs come from?" said a strong man with a scar on his arm, stopping the two of them, and after looking at them carefully, he said in a mocking tone, "This is not the place for a good baby." ”

Li Shuyi glanced at Bai Xiaowen, and after seeing Bai Xiaowen nodding slightly, she immediately stepped out, reached out and grabbed the arm of the strong man with the scar, pulled hard, and bent her knees!

With a muffled egg-shattering sound, the strong man's eyes almost bulged out, and his body quickly bent into a prawn. Li Shuyi followed up with a kick in the crook of the big man's leg, and the other party fell to his knees.

Before the scarred man could scold angrily, his neck was cold, and a noble sword was across his neck.

"Who are you!" "The man with the scar was a little nervous, inhaling the cool air, and endured the pain, "If you dare to kill me, you don't want to mess around in Hodge Town, we crows will never let any enemy go!"

Bai Xiaowen said lightly: "It's just maggots in the pit, do you really think you're amazing?" Listen, we are entrusted by His Excellency Sheriff Yahan to investigate the disappearance case in Hodge Town. The Raven Group is our key target of suspicion...... If you don't want to die, show me the way to your boss. ”

The scar man was furious: "Ahan, that damn sheriff has been here for a long time, and Boss Benny has made it clear that the disappearance has nothing to do with us......

"Less nonsense. Li Shuyi's long sword was slightly forced, and blood suddenly oozed out.

The scar man had to raise his hands: "Okay, don't do this...... I'm willing to take you to Boss Benny, can you move the sword out of the way first?"

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi exchanged a look, and Li Shuyi withdrew her long sword. The scar man shrunk his head a little and walked in front to lead the way, while the two followed closely.

Walking in Blackwater Alley, the two of them met some members of the Raven Order. Bai Xiaowen scanned a few with insight and found that their strength was similar to that of Scar Man, they were all ordinary templates, and their level was about five or six, and they didn't even have a single elite member.

Bai Xiaowen assessed the strength of the Crow Organization and came to the conclusion that he and Li Shuyi could run rampant in Blackwater Lane.

In fact, Bai Xiaowen was still relatively sure that the Crow Organization was not involved in the disappearance case, otherwise, he would not have explained his intention as soon as he opened his mouth.

From the perspective of Sheriff Ahan, he will definitely run through gangs and gangs all over the city to investigate the disappearance, but the final result is nothing, so a reward order is issued. Just now, the scar man also said that Sheriff Ahan had been here and communicated with Benny, the boss of the crows.

On the premise of knowing this, Bai Xiaowen still wants to break into the headquarters of the Crow Organization, in fact, in order to subdue this underground organization and take it for his own use! Otherwise, as an awakened person who has cut in, his eyes will be blackened, and how can the investigation begin.

In the depths of Blackwater Alley, in an underground casino, Bai Xiaowen met Benny, the boss of the Raven Organization.

Benny is a lanky man with gloomy eyes and thin cheeks, hidden under a black cloak that is unprovoked to the image of a foraging vulture.

Bai Xiaowen threw out the insight for the first time, prompting the deduction of 25 psionic points.

【Benny (Elite Level 8)】

[Race: Humanoid/Terran]

[Class: Night Vault Dweller]

[Attributes: Strength 35, Agility 49, Constitution 32, Spirit 20]

[Skill 1: Shelter of the Night: Activate the Concealment Skill to make it difficult for enemies to spot.] Passive, gain +1 stealth priority at night. 】

[Skill 2: Combo: Successfully hit the enemy multiple times in a row, it will deal additional physical damage, the more combos, the higher the additional damage.] 】

[Skill 3: Preemptive: The first attack without being detected by the enemy will temporarily paralyze the enemy.] 】

[Skill 4: Rogue Boss: Passive, adds an additional 150 HP.] 】

After seeing the shared information, Li Shuyi whispered in the team channel: "Ah, it's actually level eight." ”

With Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi's level 5 awakeners, among the matching spirit world characters, it is still a bit surprising that there are level 8 characters, according to the usual rules, matching the level of the spirit world characters will be one or two levels higher than the level of the awakened.

However, there are exceptions, that is, if you have a "positioned" item and match a specific spirit plane, there may be an "abnormal" level of the spirit person—such as being three levels higher, or lower than the Awakened.

Of course, the rules of the spiritual realm will be balanced accordingly. Where is the balance?

For example, the Aaron Plane World, where Bai Xiaowen performed the test of job transfer, was a plane with a high level of general rank, and Bai Xiaowen had not yet changed jobs at that time. Therefore, the rules of the spiritual world are set, Bai Xiaowen's entry location is the northern border, sparsely populated and desolate, and the spiritual characters that Bai Xiaowen needs to deal with are only below level 3, of course, his death attracted the level 7 leader Golia, and he will not be treated favorably by the rules of the spiritual world.

The 8-level elite in front of him, Benny, the boss of the Crow Organization, is about the same strength as the leader of the fifth or sixth level, and he suffers in terms of priority and skills, but because he has crossed the threshold of level 7, all attributes are relatively high, and there is a 150 health bonus.

But this does not pose a threat to Bai Xiaowen.

After Benny listened to the scar man's aggrieved cry, he nodded slightly, and his yin owl eyes looked at Bai Xiaowen.

"Are you really sent by the sheriff? I don't believe it. ”

Bai Xiaowen said flatly: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not. The point is, do you want to die, or do you want to live?"

Bai Xiaowen's straightforward threat angered several elite members of the Raven Order.

"Arrogant little one, go back to milk!"

A bald strong man pounced over, with a pair of fists with black iron fists, and struck Bai Xiaowen with a tiger.

Li Shuyi's double swords were drawn, crossed and overlapped, first blocking the punch, and then quickly slashing back, sneering three times, slashing in succession, and the three swords accurately hit the throat of the bald strong man.

The blood was furious, the bald man was a little unbelievably holding his throat trachea, making a gurgling sound, his body slowly sat down, and finally the corpse was on the spot!

This bald man is a power-type mid-level elite. However, Li Shuyi's strength value at this time was already as high as 27 points, which was more than enough to block his blow without losing his balance. And after Li Shuyi blocked the opponent's attack, the speed of the counterattack that broke out was incomparable to that of the bald and strong man. Three swords, one of which triggers a critical hit and kills instantly.

Seeing the bald man fall to the ground and die, although the other members of the Crow Organization were even more furious, there was a trace of obvious jealousy in their eyes.

Benny's eyes were cold, and his hands under the black cloak quietly touched the dagger.

Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen coughed, a white light flashed, and a bloated and tall voodoo suture fat boy appeared in front of him, followed by four skeleton sword shield hand brothers.

The fat boy's vicious and hideous face made many people frightened, and some people exclaimed: "This is a voodoo ......."

Benny's stern gaze glared at him, and the man was silent. Bai Xiaowen knew in his heart, squinted his eyes and said, "It seems that Your Excellency is unwilling to cooperate." ”

Phew!

The fat boy made a move, hooked the chain, and tightly wrapped the person who had just spoken, and dragged him over.

If it was an ordinary person, there might not be a way to find the person who exclaimed from so many members of the Crow Organization, but Bai Xiaowen's insight and memory were extremely strong, and he found out the location of the other party in an instant, and ordered the fat boy to do it.

Bai Xiaowen's behavior as if no one else was around angered Benny even more, and he let out a roar in his throat: "Give me ......"

However, when all the members of the Crow Organization were about to raise their knives to cut Bai Xiaowen, with Bai Xiaowen as the center, an awe-inspiring coercion spread! Except for a few elite members, most of the members of the Crow Organization were stunned on the spot and sat on the ground.

And the elite of the Raven Order, who was still standing, and Benny, the boss, were not stunned, but they also fell into a state of fear.

Bai Xiaowen grabbed the collar of the unlucky guy who was hooked by the fat boy: "Hey, now you have to answer the question......"

After the man was awakened, he had a frightened face: "I, I don't know anything." ”

"Tell me about the Voodoo cult you just mentioned," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "What do you think this servant of mine has to do with voodoo, huh? Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid for me, or I'll kill you." ”

The man said with a sad face: "I heard Boss Benny say that Voodoo has a kind of modified huge corpse, which is very powerful in combat, and can defeat ten ...... This monster is very similar, that's why I ...... "He regretted it in his heart, and he shouldn't have been quick to talk for a while."

When Bai Xiaowen pressed this unlucky bastard, Benny and his subordinates finally woke up from their fear/dizziness. Seeing the unfathomable Bai Xiaowen, these people couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts, but they didn't dare to step forward anymore.

Bai Xiaowen asked two more questions, and after confirming that this unlucky guy who had been caught no longer had any valuable information in his mouth, he threw him aside, patted the dust on his hands that did not exist, and said to Benny:

"It seems that Mr. Benny already knows the gap between you and me, and understands that I can end your life at any time. ”

Benny's face changed several times, and finally said astringently, "Yes." ”

"I'm glad we reached a consensus, so I'm going to put forward my conditions next," Bai Xiaowen said, "If you can cooperate, you can live, and you can even get a considerable amount of money." If you don't cooperate...... You should know the consequences. ”

“...... I don't know what you want, we will do our best. ”

As for the money that Bai Xiaowen said, Benny didn't believe it at all, and his only thought now was that it would be good if he could save his life.
