"Giant" Simon couldn't speak for a while, and said after a few seconds: "Are you crazy? At most, you can't pass, just lost a chance."
"Mouse" Christo followed up: "If the task is important, the boss will definitely go there in person and won't send us. If it's not important, then the risk will not be high."
This idea is similar to Lumian's initial idea.
Lumian glanced at the entrance of Trier underground not far away, and deliberately smiled: "Maybe we are used as bait. For example, the boss suspected that there are forces secretly monitoring us, so he specially designed such a mission. If everything goes well and there is no abnormality, then the alarm will be deactivated and treated as a test. But if something is caught, he can follow this line to find out the truth and eliminate hidden dangers. As for whether our baits will be eaten by fish? It is not his concern. Low-sequence Extraordinary, he can still bear it."
"Mouse" Christo's face turned pale when he said these words, and "Giant" Simon fell silent.
Although they don't have much experience in the world of occultism, they have been gangsters for many years and have been the leaders for a long time. They still have the most basic analytical ability. They have to admit that Charles's speculation is reasonable, which makes them inevitably worried about their own safety, especially "Mouse" Chris, his mind is full of the appearance of his brother Alken before his death and the painful expressions of his wife and children. , died miserably in a certain corner of the ground, and his wife, his dogs, and other animals he raised would all take advantage of the "man in the mirror".
For a while, thinking about it, the three lighted their calcium carbide lamps, walked down the steel stairs, and entered the ground in silence.
"Mouse" Christo looked around the dark tunnel with the help of the blue-yellow light, and said with a trembling voice, "Boss probably won't let us die on purpose. Although we are only low-sequence Beyonders, we are all useful. If we die underground, it may take half a year or even a year for the boss to cultivate new people who can replace us."
He remembered that in the "Man in the Mirror" incident, the boss asked him to do other things, obviously to trust him without leaking the secret.
Everything has a price, and maybe the bargaining chip to be exchanged this time is more important than the three of us combined.
Holding a calcium carbide lamp that emitted a yellowish light, Lumian walked in the dark and damp passage at a leisurely pace, and said with a sneer, "I also hope that this mission is like the search for Amen that the boss said. It's not too dangerous, but you can't be naive, and you have to prevent the worst."
"Mouse" Christo, who has noticed that Charles has greatly improved, asked involuntarily: "What should we do?"
In his opinion, Charles is the most reliable person in this mission and the life-saving straw at the critical moment.
Hearing this question, "Giant" Simon turned his head towards Christo in surprise. When did this "mouse" Christo become so timid? He is also the leader of the boss's subordinates. Why did he choose to show his weakness and worry, his pride and self-esteem in front of Charles? Isn't he afraid that Charles will suppress him from now on and erode his smuggling business?
This is what Lumian wanted, and he said sincerely: "Boss has helped me several times, and I am willing to complete the task for him, but the premise is that the risk of that task is not particularly high, and we will not have to die. This choice, damn, I haven't lived enough yet. Therefore, my attitude is to complete the task when it can be completed, and give up without hesitation if it cannot be completed. To ensure that we can still live, and this may require the three of us to put down our guard against each other and work together to deal with hidden dangers."
This kind of attitude touched the hearts of "Mouse" Christo and "Giant" Simon, and made them nod obviously or subtly. No one is selfish, and would take a certain risk for the boss, which is already enough loyalty. After accepting this attitude, it seems that the only option is to cooperate with each other to fight against danger, at least on the surface.
"How should we work together?"
"Mouse" Christo quickly made up his mind that he couldn't think of another "man in the mirror" incident.
Lumian smiled and said, "First of all, we have to understand each other's abilities, so that we can cooperate better."
"Mouse" Christo hesitated for two seconds and said: "I am a beast trainer, a Sequence 8 of the 'medicine' pathway. I can fight many wild beasts head-on, and I can also communicate with them to a certain extent, gradually domesticate them, let them become my assistants, and I can also help people see a doctor, provide treatment, and all kinds of things."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glanced at Charles, as if he wanted to ask him if he needed to improve his ability in that area and supplement the medicine consumed by his body. He heard that Charles was a very **** young man. Not only did he have a hot fight with the mistress of "Red Boots", Jianna, but he also had affairs with nearly ten dancers, and arranged for them to learn to perform at the Old Pigeon Cage Theater to make money without having to accompany the guests.
"Pharmacist" had known that "Mouse" Christo was "Pharmacist", so he should have found him at that time and poured a few bottles of medicine for Janna's mother. In that case, Janna's mother should be able to recover and go home that night.
Lumian sighed silently, and nodded slightly under the light of the calcium carbide lamp.
In an instant, "Giant" Simon thought of a possibility. "Mouse" Christo was in charge of the smuggling business, and he was the leader who completed the most secret tasks of the boss. He might know something and had a pessimistic attitude towards this operation, so he recognized Charles' words and chose to cooperate sincerely.
"Mouse" Christo sighed, and continued: "I'm unlucky. I haven't domesticated a real extraordinary creature until now. Otherwise, even if I encounter a medium-sequence Extraordinary, I'm not incapable of fighting them. This mission is very urgent. We didn't have time to prepare. I only brought a few partners with me. Damn, are you afraid we won't die fast enough?"
As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and a snake-like creature with a triangular head and more colorful colors popped out of his sleeve. Immediately afterwards, "Mouse" Christo let the snake back into his sleeve, and put his hand into his pocket, and caught a palm-sized mouse. The mouse was different from the usual ones, with light white hair, distinct roots, and a pair of eyes as bright as rubies.
"It's called Taffy, and it's a special creature that I found underground when I was in the smuggling business. It itself can't be used as the main ingredient of any kind of potion, but it can sense hidden dangers." "Mouse" Christo briefly introduced it.
"It can also perceive the approximate strength of other people."
Lumian asked thoughtfully.
"Mouse" Christo looked at Lumian in astonishment, hesitated for two seconds and said, "Yes."
Seeing that this "mouse" had revealed enough information, although Lumian suspected that he had other abilities or other pets, he didn't ask any more questions and turned his attention to "Giant" Simon.
"Giant" Simon hesitated for a while, remembering the guess just now, and said in a low voice: "I am the 'Warrior' pathway Sequence 8 'Fighter', like 'Iron Hammer' Aite. I am good at head-to-head combat and proficient in various fighting techniques. I have a gun on me, and I also have a short knife, a military stab and a glove."
What he said was relatively brief. After all, "Fighters" have no special abilities and no magical items. Also, it is really difficult for gangsters trained by this kind of secret organization to obtain magical items.
Lumian chuckled slightly: "You are better than Hammer Aite, because you have a brain and can understand the situation."
These words made "Giant" Simon wonder whether he should be angry or proud. Holding the calcium carbide lamp, he looked at Lumian and said, "What about you, which path is the Sequence 8 hunter?"
Since they had to work together, Charles couldn't hide it. Lumian smiled, raised his right hand, and placed it flat in front of him. Without a sound, a crimson flame burst out from his palm, hovered in the air, and burned quietly.
"You are an arsonist." Simon the Giant blurted out in shock.
In the mysticism circles in Trier, one of the most indispensable things is the low-sequence situation of the "Hunter" pathway, especially those below Sequence 6.
Lumian didn't respond, and replaced the answer with a smile.
"Giant" Simon suddenly understood why "Mouse" Christo had such a big change in his attitude towards Charles, and why he appeared to ask for help. Sequence 7 is the starting point of the middle sequence. Compared with their low-sequence Extraordinary, there has been a qualitative change, and the strength has grown many times stronger.
After withdrawing his gaze from "Mouse" Christo's pocket, "Giant" Simon asked Lumian in surprise and suspicion: "Does the boss know that you have been promoted to Sequence Seven?"
"Boss helped me find the auxiliary materials." Lumian replied truthfully, and let the crimson flame in his palm dissipate in the yellowish light.
This, since "Giant" Simon's child hole is enlarged.
Lumian glanced left and right, and continued: "So, if the task can be completed, I will definitely work hard to complete the task."
After finishing speaking, he took out an iron-colored potion bottle as he moved forward, and threw it to the "giant" Simon on the side, saying, "This is the 'scorpion venom' I got from Hammer Aite. You can rub a little on your weapon to improve your strength, and it will also improve our chances of survival."
"Giant" Simon caught the potion bottle, and was a little stunned for a while. Although Charles was annoying and he didn't deal with him, no matter his knowledge, mental strength, or style of doing things, people felt that he could be relied on, and he obeyed and followed unconsciously.
Lumian, who was walking ahead without turning his head, let out a sigh of relief. He exaggerated the risk and created fear just now, in order to suppress the spirits of "Mouse" Christo and "Giant" Simon, and make them fall into a mood of worry. Then he showed his strength, gave convincing opinions and a little favor, and made himself the leader of the team. Only in this way can he give full play to the strength of the team and fight against possible dangers without revealing his cards.
