Chapter 15: The Pursuit of Failure
At the same time that the unlucky old Cherki was knocked out and taken away by the Dane and the others, in the guest room on the second floor of the Snake Bay Hotel, Xue Hua, who had watched this scene through the eyes of the shadow worm, had an interesting expression on his face.
"Huh! Is there such a thing as a resurrection from the dead? And not only did people live, but they also became evil covenanters? In just over 20 years, he has gone from an ordinary person who didn't even pass the inauguration ceremony to a high-level evil deed person of more than 60 levels, which is a bit too big, right?
It always feels... It's very similar to the experience of a guy who mutated into a monster......"
Xue Hua muttered to himself in a low voice, the expression on his face was a little indescribably weird.
"Just the first day you asked me to find it? Was it my luck, or was the guys' ability to hide their whereabouts too bad?
Forget it, no matter, since you have found it, you must not let it go.
Isha, let the Shadow Worms and Overseer Worms keep an eye on them for me, and I can't let these guys run away from under our noses!
However, be careful not to reveal your whereabouts, as this may alert those guys and cause them to hide deeper into the shadows. ”
"Understood, Juggernaut." Isha replied in the mind of the main nest, and soon went to make plans.
Xue Hua lay alone on the bed in the room, staring at the ceiling with his eyes wide open, and while continuing to pay attention to the tracking of the shadow insects, he thought about the three stories he had just heard from old Cherki in the tavern.
The most inexplicable of these three stories is the first one, and Xue Hua basically has the answer to the other two stories now, that is, the first story makes him feel a little confused.
A woman with a blue glow in a dark alley?
And crunching?
It seems that you don't like to see people, but you were scared away by the port patrol team that those little gangsters are not as good as?
What the hell is this?
It's a pity that Cherki didn't see it clearly......
Ay......
Xue Hua sighed, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't come up with anything that would have these characteristics.
You want to say that it was a geist necromancer among monsters, but Cherki survived in the end?
If it were some kind of necromantic monster polluted by the energy of hell, not only would Cherki have already burped, but even that harbor patrol team would not want to escape alive.
But if it's not about hell, then I'm afraid it's really a ghost......
Is it a ghost? Resentful spirits?
Forget it, let's ignore it for now, with the swarm's monitoring of the port area of King's Port, as long as that thing really exists, sooner or later it will appear in the field of vision of the monitoring king worm.
Xue Hua sighed, ready to stand up and come to the small table next to the bed to pour a glass of water to drink.
His clone of the will is a mimic chick that evolves and has the ability to absorb energy on its own and exist permanently.
In other words, this body named "Charlie Wals" can live like an ordinary person as long as it eats normally every day.
So he wasn't in a hurry to find out everything, in addition to investigating the laboratory that the Sarnagars might be staying in the Western Realm, the other purpose of this operation was to relax Xue Hua's tense nerves a little.
Just as Xue Hua poured a glass of water on his neck and was about to return to bed to sleep, the shadow insects who were following the three black-robed people and the captured old Cherki suddenly came back with not very good news.
They're lost.
To be precise, I should have had to give up tracking.
Hearing this, Xue Hua suddenly turned over from the bed and sat up, frowning and connecting to the field of vision of the monitoring king insect in front of him.
Then he saw a towering wall appear in front of the shadowworms gathered in the dark alleyways, filled with well-armed and high-spirited professional soldiers.
"What's going on?" Xue Hua asked with some displeasure in the mind of the main nest.
"I'm sorry, Juggernaut, our target is the Receiver on the city wall, who has escaped over the wall and into another area of the city, which is guarded by legendary powerhouses, and there is a danger of being discovered by the Shadow Worm."
Isha's voice was apologetic, it was the equivalent of not completing the task assigned by the juggernaut.
In the Swarm, this behavior is punishable by heavy penalties.
"I understand your concerns, and I support your decision, but only this once, understand?" Xue Hua thought for a while, and finally nodded and did not punish the adjutant.
After all, he had already offended one of the three nobles in King's Harbor, and since the King's Harbor Professional Legion had suffered quite heavy losses this time, the Marjery family might not be able to bear this responsibility, and they would definitely throw the pot on Xue Hua's head, because Xue Hua had indeed cheated them a little before.
Therefore, the consequences of rashly exposing the swarm are indeed unpredictable, and Isa's decision is not wrong.
But if you lose those guys this time, it will be difficult to find their whereabouts next time.
And he didn't know what these guys wanted to do when they caught Cherki, an ordinary old man, originally Xue Hua was going to let the shadow worm track him to the other party's lair and then find a chance to rescue the old man, after all, he could get such an important clue immediately after coming to the harbor, this old man can be said to have contributed a lot.
"Let's let the shadow insects come back first, the surveillance of the swarm in the port area needs to be strengthened to another level, if something similar is discovered, control the people first."
Xue Hua lay on the bed and thought for a while, but he couldn't think of any better way for the time being, so he had to let Isha continue to strengthen the monitoring of the port area.
Whatever those guys were trying to do, they did it once, and there was bound to be a second time.
There's still a chance he'll be able to find out the secrets of these guys.
"See, Juggernaut, the biters won't let you down this time." Isha replied.
"Hmm." Xue Hua nodded, then disconnected the mind of the main nest, rolled over from the bed, and walked to the window of the room.
"Looks like it's time to visit the so-called aristocratic district tomorrow!"
He looked out the window at the dark and gloomy streets, and muttered something in his mouth.
......
At the same time, in the aristocratic district of King's Port, under a magnificent-looking manor, three black-robed men carried the old Cherki, who was still unconscious, into a secret room through a secret entrance.
The chamber is paved entirely with black stone bricks, and the four walls are lined with a number of unknown black machines.
Seven petri dishes made of clear glass were placed in front of the machines, six of which contained a naked human.
In the center of the chamber, another figure shrouded in black robes was busy in front of the petri dishes.
"One, we're back." The three black-robed men walked to the center of the secret room, put old Cherki on a flat black operating table, and then said to the black-robed man who was busy.
"Well, it's back, and things are going well, right? Has anyone been discovered? ”
The black-robed man known as "No. 1" asked without looking back as he continued to be busy with the matter at hand.
"No, we deliberately waited until the farthest point from the avenue to make a move, and the disappearance of the port area is nothing, there are corpses thrown into the sea every day to feed the fish."
One of the black-robed men replied, pulling down the hood on his head, revealing a face that was none other than Cherki's "old acquaintance" - Dane.
"Don't be negligent, our god has many enemies in this world, and we must not let those enemies discover our secrets until the plan is completely completed."
Number One put down his work, turned around and said solemnly to Dane and the others.
"Yes, yes, got it." Dane shook his head impatiently, then walked straight to the console where Cherki was lying.
"I've brought someone back, how about it, he should be able to, right?"
"This is the target you have found at your request, this person is very degraded in physical function, and it will take a lot of materials to successfully complete the operation... This is a reward from the God of Evolution, remember, there is no next time, understand? ”
Number One walked to the counter and glanced at the old man lying on it, shook his head a little helplessly, and said to Dane.
"I'm going to start, you guys, let's go out first!"
"Okay." The three Dane nodded, and then followed the secret passage back to the house on the surface.
