The days passed day by day.
After the three of them had further grown their strength, they finally received the first C-level mission.
"Tomorrow's mission must be done with all your strength!"
Just in the private room of Barbecue Q, where business is very popular, Akai held a wine glass and said with a bright look: "The first C-level mission is actually an important inspection of newcomers. Your performance during the mission will be reported to Lord Naruto!"
"Ohhhh! I feel like I'm already burning!" Xiao Li jumped up with a passionate look on his face.
"No wonder Teacher Akai suddenly invited us to barbecue."
Today, Tiantian is still wearing a cheongsam, with two buns like dumplings on his head, and a playful smile in his dark eyes: "Are you trying to wish us a victory?"
"What is the specific content of this mission?"
Neji spread the raw meat on a plate of hot roasted charcoal, and asked casually while applying oil on a fine brush: "Are we going to protect a certain client? Or to attack a bandit group?"
"Hehe! This time it's an investigation mission!"
Akai poured a large glass of sake and then started talking nonstop: "We are going to the nearby country of Kawano and investigate the recent continuous disappearances of several villages."
"The disappearance started three months ago, and five people disappeared on the first day of each month."
"The whereabouts of fifteen people are now unknown."
"Our mission is to find out the culprit of the incident and rescue the missing person before next month!" Akai's expression gradually became serious: "Even if all those people have been killed, we must find their bodies!"
"Is there any clues to track down now?" Neji flipped a few slices of barbecue with a clip.
"The prisoner is likely to be a believer in the cult."
Akai poured himself another glass of sake: "I heard that there was an evil god sect in Tangzhi Kingdom before, pursuing the so-called immortal body and curse technique. It seemed that a tragedy occurred back then. Although I don't know the specific situation, now a group of sects have gone to Sichuan Kingdom, and their whereabouts and where the case happened highly..."
"Those believers want to pursue immortality?"
Tiantian, who was standing by, opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Is that kind of thing really possible?"
"Of course it's absolutely impossible!"
Akai waved his hand without thinking: "That's all nonsense that only madmen who believe in cults believe!"
Is it a nonsense that only madmen believe?
Neji began to think silently while chewing on the barbecue dipped in sauce.
He suddenly had a very bold idea.
Once the cage bird is activated by the will of the Zong family, it will destroy the eyeball and brain nerves at the same time. For those who have been engraved with cursive seals, the eyeballs can be transplanted again, but if the brain nerves are completely destroyed, it will be really hard for the gods to save them.
But what if the person who is cast has an immortal body?
Neji remembers that the Evil God Sect once created a Hidao with an immortal body. Although you know that it is necessary to pay a huge price to achieve this goal based on imagination, and the success rate is probably very low, if you can gain some effective information in this mission of the Kingdom of Sichuan, you might find a glimmer of hope to break free from the bird cage!
Therefore, this mission is definitely worthy of attention!
Neji and his group set off the next day to come to Kawano Country and settled in a hotel in a remote town.
Then they began to discuss the details of the operation.
"The latest disappearance happened in this town," Akai said. "So the most likely to find clues here. Next, we will focus on four sides, southeast, west and north, and each person is responsible for the search work in one direction."
Neji and the other two nodded seriously.
"No matter whether you find clues or not, you must come back and gather on time! Although there should be no ninja among those cultists, you must not act rashly! The mystery of youth is not arbitrary behavior. No matter what, you must abide by the iron rules of ninjas!" Akai's expression was very serious.
Of course, Neji and the other two would not have any objections to this.
"Then start to act!"
With Akai's order, everyone immediately divided into four groups.
Neji is responsible for the north side.
"Rolling your eyes! Open!"
Neji stretched out his right hand to make a seal on his chest, and a ferocious blue veins immediately burst out from the corner of his forehead. His entire field of vision immediately expanded to nearly 360 degrees, covering a range of fifty meters with himself as the origin.
With his powerful long-sightedness and perspective ability, Neji's insight is of course the strongest among the four.
He also hoped that he would be the first to find those evil gods.
Since the other party is a religious group, in addition to unified thoughts, their outfits are also likely to be unified. Moreover, according to the impression of reading comics in previous lives, the pattern of the faith of the Evil God Cult is a circle with triangles inside.
They are likely to carry accessories containing this pattern on each of them.
This is a very important clue.
Neji thought while running quickly along the narrow streets, while using his ability to roll his eyes to search for suspicious objects.
But nothing was gained until it was about to rush out of the whole town.
"Is their hiding place not in this direction? Or is it hiding in the suburbs to avoid people's eyes and ears?..." Considering that the latter possibility does exist, Neji decided to continue searching forward.
The facts quickly proved that his choice was correct.
Neji found a clearing lot full of weeds in the forest outside the suburbs. In the corner of the open space, there was an abandoned house that had been ruined. You could see a secret passage below the house, leading to a huge and deep underground pit.
This place seems to be a war refuge that has been forgotten very early.
Now it is being used by people.
I saw more than a dozen tall brackets erected around the pit, with a very tragic dead body of a villager nailed on it.
Blood in the corpse fell into the ditches that were dug out.
The blood-filled ditch forms a circular pattern containing triangles, and a stone-shaped platform stands at the center of the circle.
There is a holy grail made of gold on the platform.
Several men in black windbreakers were talking in front of the high platform, one of them was leaning on a luxurious scepter in his hand.
It seems that he is the leader of this group of cultists.
Neji carefully observed the meridian system of these people with his eyes rolled, and confirmed that they were all ordinary people who could not refine chakra. Then he carefully found the mechanism and sneaked into the secret passage leading to the underground.
Neji condensed the chakra on his palms and feet, and climbed up to the top of the pit like a gecko.
Then he hid in the shadows that could not be exposed to candlelight.
The reason for shortening the distance between the believers in this way is to eavesdrop on their conversations with each other-
Chapter completed!
