When Norton fell, the three transformed giant corpses also lost their ability to move in an instant, and froze in place.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were out of battle at the same time.

Bai Xiaowen put away a group of summoned creatures, carefully bypassed the area covered by the frost poison, and ran one after the other with Li Shuyi.

Along the way, they crossed the coffin-like sealed boxes, and the two came to the exit stairs of the cellar. Large chunks of mud and rocks fell, but Bai Xiaowen and the two of them still safely escaped the underground research institute and returned to the surface.

After rushing out of the cellar, both of them could feel the ground rumbling and shaking, like a precursor to an earthquake.

The underground research institute excavated by Norton is so vast that it has hollowed out almost the entire street underground. The collapse of the underground research institute was no different from a small-scale earthquake. Now, cracks have appeared on the ground of the street, and other residents have run out screaming.

With a bang, the underground research institute completely collapsed, and smoke and dust rose everywhere. Most of the streets collapsed, and the ground sank by five or six meters! On the ground, huge cracks spread one after another, and the eyes were devastated.

Under the collapsed houses, there were bursts of screams for help, which should have suppressed many Hodge Town residents who didn't have time to escape.

"Oh my God...... Li Shuyi exclaimed, "What should I do now?"

Bai Xiaowen glanced at Li Shuyi. He could understand Li Shuyi's thoughts, which should be to evacuate and rescue these innocent residents, but he was worried that Bai Xiaowen had other plans, so he turned his attention to consult.

Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly: "Save it...... Look at how many living people are under the collapsed houses, and one can be saved. ”

Li Shuyi agreed, but it was a little strange, and said with a smile: "You don't look like such a caring person." ”

Bai Xiaowen smiled faintly: "Move faster...... Soon we'll be in contact with the Sheriff of Hodgetown. ”

Li Shuyi had an epiphany, pouted at Bai Xiaowen, and then trotted to the side of the "Akaia's Cauldron" shop, lifted a collapsed wall, and pulled out a Hodge Town resident.

Bai Xiaowen re-summoned creatures such as skeletons, knives, shields, and hands, and also devoted himself to the cause of saving people.

After the collapse of the underground research institute, Bai Xiaowen got a hint.

"A-Rank Elite Side Quest: Secrets of Voodoo Complete. Completion Evaluation: S. ”

"Based on your completion evaluation, you have earned a Psionic Point reward: 10,000 points. ”

"Your reputation in Voodoo has been greatly reduced, and your current reputation level is: Hostile. ”

"Your reputation in the Holy See of Light has increased, and your current reputation level is: Friendly. ”

"Your squad gained 400 XP. ”

The level of the elite squad is upgraded, and Bai Xiaowen doesn't care much about this aspect, because the bulk of the A-level elite mission is combat experience (Awakened upgrade). After the completion of this challenge task, Bai Xiaowen's combat experience gauge climbed to 68% of level 5, while Li Shuyi's upgrade was faster, already 81% of level 5.

You must know that Bai Xiaowen stayed for several days in the treasure space of the Necromantic Lake, in order to practice his combat skills and specialties, and earned a few more days of combat experience than Li Shuyi, but now he is still overtaken by Li Shuyi. The Elite class levels up a bit faster than the Heroic class.

There was a dense sound of footsteps, followed by a loud voice:

"The first team, the second team, working in pairs, rescued the residents who were killed. The others evacuated with me and took the injured to an open area......"

Bai Xiaowen glanced at the direction of the street, a group of neatly dressed and heavily armed soldiers, under the orders of a strong man, quickly dispersed and launched the rescue work in an orderly manner.

Come to think of it, this big man is the sheriff of Hodge Town, Ahan.

Bai Xiaowen's skeletal sword shield hand belongs to the undead species summoned creatures, and it is very conspicuous in the field. Ahan, who was in command, quickly noticed.

"Undead creatures?" Yahan walked quickly in front of Bai Xiaowen and looked up and down, "Are you...... The owner of these monsters, an undead summoner, is strange, I seem to have seen you, right in ......."

"Mr. Sheriff, I'll talk about it later, now I just want to save people!" Bai Xiaowen didn't pay attention to Yahan, and turned his head to greet Li Shuyi, "Charlotte, help me lift this pillar......"

Spiritual Rule Tips:

"Hodge Sheriff Alexei Yahan's opinion of you has increased, and the current opinion level is: Neutral. ”

This kind of feeling of being a strong person in the spirit realm and being able to increase favorability is still very cool.

Yahan didn't get angry, but stepped forward quickly, supported the pillar with one hand, gently and skillfully carried it on his shoulder, and then motioned to Bai Xiaowen to drag out the injured person who was pressed under the pillar.

The corners of Bai Xiaowen's eyes twitched a little, the buildings in Hodge Town are mainly made of earth and stone, and the weight of this stone pillar is afraid that it is three or four tons, and Yahan can hold it up with one hand so easily, its strength can be imagined.

However, Bai Xiaowen did not have any unusual expression, and after rescuing the wounded, he immediately threw himself into the ruins of the next house, and was very busy. Still, he secretly lost an insight to Sheriff Ahan.

[Alexei Yahan (Boss Level 8)]

[Race: Humanoid/Terran]

[Class: Giant Warrior]

[Attributes: Strength 79, Agility 30, Constitution 50, Spirit 20]

[Skill 1: Brute Force: Passive skill, when Yahan uses a two-handed weapon, the damage caused will be increased by an additional 20%, and the target whose strength is less than 60% of his own will be dealt with additional true damage, and there is a certain chance to add a disabling effect. 】

[Skill 2: Unyielding: Every time he takes the influence of a negative status and a control skill, Ahan's strength will increase by an additional 10% until the end of the combat state. This effect can stack up to 3 times. 】

[Skill 3: Battle Cry: Ahan unleashes an exhilarating roar that increases the attack power of all allies within 100 meters by 10 points for 30 seconds.] 】

[Skill 4: ???]

[Skill 5: Firm Will LV3: Ahan's HP is increased by an additional 500 points, and the duration of ailments and control effects is reduced by 50%. 】

"Kuroshio plane...... What the hell is the matter? A sheriff is so fierce!"

Bai Xiaowen muttered secretly.

This sheriff named Ahan is completely condescending to be a sheriff in a town. First of all, the surrounding attribute of the explosion, and then there are legion skills such as "Battle Roar", plus violent output skills such as "brute force", which is definitely a fierce general on the battlefield.

In addition, what surprised Bai Xiaowen was Yahan's general skills.

As a high-level boss, it's normal to have tenacity skills that increase extra health and decrease control. However, the level of this skill of Yahan is actually LV3! What is this concept? In the Necronomicon Treasure Land Space, the chief leader of the snake tribe, Aliqi, the skill level of the "snake man leader" is only LV2.

Bai Xiaowen now understands where the prefix of the ticket "speculation" and the reduced 50% difficulty of the main quest are embodied.

This Sheriff of Ahan is definitely a person with a story, and he is not easy to deceive. If Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi appeared rashly as strangers and contacted Yahan, they might not be able to trust this sheriff, but they might be regarded as suspicious elements.

It's a lot easier now, the two and Ahan are "neighbors" on the same street, and Ahan has some impressions of the two, so it's much easier to win Yahan's trust. With Yahan's trust, the work of solving the missing person case will be simple.

Bai Xiaowen only needs to solve the puzzle, and when he needs to fight, he directly closes the door and puts the sheriff!

In this collapse incident, more than 70 people were injured in the event, and three dead appeared, including Mr. Akaia, the owner of "Akaea's Cauldron".

"You two come with me and tell me what's going on," Ahan called Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi aside, "I remember, you are brothers and sisters who live in Windmill Street, why are you here? My intuition tells me that this incident should be related to you." ”

Li Shuyi secretly glanced at Bai Xiaowen. The work of dealing with the powerhouses of the spirit world, referred to as the flickering work, is the most suitable to be handed over to Bai Xiaowen.

"We found here all the way to track down the recent cases of missing persons. ”

Bai Xiaowen's voice was a little low, and there was a trace of remorse on his handsome face that was difficult to hide.

"Have you found the murderer?" said Ahan in surprise.

Bai Xiaowen nodded: "Yes, the mastermind behind the disappearance case is an alchemist of the Voodoo Sect, and he has a secret evil laboratory in the underground of the commercial street...... I saw with my own eyes that he cobbled together the corpses of the dead to make a modified giant corpse and carried out inhumane experiments. My sister and I fought him fiercely and it took a lot of effort to kill him. But he didn't expect that before he died, he actually activated the mechanism that collapsed the underground laboratory......"

Bai Xiaowen sighed, looking remorseful.

Ahannon's blade-like brow furrowed, and he turned to the patrol soldiers and shouted, "Clean up the ruins of the streets! There's an evil underground laboratory here, dig it out!"

A group of elite, ordinary template soldiers responded loudly and continued their work without complaint. It can be seen that Ahan usually manages the patrol team very effectively, and in a big way, he has the ability to govern the army.

Bai Xiaowen knew that Yahan still had a trace of doubts about him, so he ordered to excavate. But it doesn't matter, when the lab is dug up, Ahan will definitely believe him.

The more clever way of lying is to have a lie sandwiched between nine truths.

In Bai Xiaowen's statement, the Voodoo alchemist, the evil laboratory, the transformation of the giant corpse, etc., are all true. There is only one sentence that is false, and that is "motivation", or starting point. Bai Xiaowen knew very well that Norton, the alchemist of the Voodoo Cult, had nothing to do with the missing person case, and his motive for finding Norton was the mission of "The Secret of Voodoo".

However, in Yahan's eyes, as long as the information about Voodoo and transforming the giant corpse is confirmed, then he will naturally trust Bai Xiaowen's motives, which is the benefit of nine truths and one falsehood.

There is also a better way to lie than nine true sentences and one false sentence, that is, to tell the truth all, but hide the most critical one or two sentences of information, so that the other party will misunderstand and deviate...... But here, there is no need for such a high-end way of lying.

It didn't take long for patrolling soldiers to come in to report that they had dug up broken alchemical vessels, boxes containing corpses, and so on.

Yahan looked at Bai Xiaowen's eyes and became a lot more friendly.

He nodded and said, "Since you are for the safety of Hodge Town, and you also destroyed the evil laboratory of the Voodoo Cult, then I can not hold you accountable for this incident." However, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you should inform me in advance. You two brothers and sisters, who are also residents of Hodge Town, belong to my protection, so it would be too reckless to rush into a Voodoo villain. I don't want to see new names added to the list of missing persons. ”

Bai Xiaowen sincerely apologized: "No, in the future, as long as our brothers and sisters find dangerous factors that affect the safety of Hodge Town, we must report it as soon as possible." ”

Ahan asked, "I'm a little surprised by what you two are capable of. You two have been apprentices to the bread mill, haven't you? ”

Bai Xiaowen lied, what did you meet a wandering adventurer, I saw that the brother and sister were talented and intelligent, and then gave some teachings and the like, and then the two brothers and sisters have been following the teacher's teachings, and they have not easily shown their strength, and they live in this town ordinarily, until the disappearance of the human being case appeared, and people were panicked, and the two brothers and sisters decided to stand up and investigate the truth......

Under normal circumstances, most of Yahan would not believe this lie made up by Bai Xiaowen. However, Bai Xiaowen's two siblings are residents of Hodge Town, and they live on the same street as him, so they have a basic level of trust. In addition, the Voodoo evil laboratory that has just been excavated also confirms that Bai Xiaowen is not lying. Therefore, Yahan recognized Bai Xiaowen's rhetoric and did not study it deeply.

Referring to the disappearance, Ahan sighed: "Let's go, I want to see with my own eyes, the bodies in those sealed boxes." If Voodoo is behind the disappearance, then I have an explanation to the mayor and the people of Hodge Town. He shook his head, looking a little embarrassed.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi followed behind Yahan, and Li Shuyi asked through the team channel: "It's strange, from Yahan's point of view, he should be happy that the missing person case has been solved, why does he look a little depressed." ”

"It is a good thing that the case has been solved, but the missing people have all turned into corpses, and with so many dead people, it is reasonable for him to be in a bad mood. In addition, this case was not solved by him, as a police ...... No, as a sheriff, Mr. Ahan must be disappointed. ”

Bai Xiaowen paused, and then said with a smile: "However, the two of us know the truth, Voodoo Sect Norton has nothing to do with the disappearance case." So there is no need for Mr. Yahan to be lost, the mastermind behind the scenes has not been found, and he has to be busy next. ”
