This bandit's lair was once the site of a hilly dwarf. The mountain and the underground part stretch vastly. Although there are countless damages and obstructions, it is not difficult to see the glory of the past.
For newcomers, it is not an exaggeration to call this place a maze. Neo has Thorns to explore the path first, and Nancy helps analyze it. Not only does he have a clear goal, he will not get lost, but he can also use the terrain features here to hide himself.
Compared with the sad atmosphere of the gangster lair that I heard during the day's negotiations, this place can be described as bustling with people, singing and laughing. However, the singing makes people easily think of a prostitute's village, while the laughter is rough, evil, and harsh.
, noisy, ng... except that it is not normal, coupled with the echo effect created by the vast cave, it is really a smoky atmosphere, with a group of demons dancing wildly.
There was the smell of buttered bread, meat fried in butter, wine, fruit, and even clams and fish. Even without seeing it with his own eyes, Neo could imagine how sumptuous the gangsters' meals were.
Wine ponds and meat forests may be a bit excessive, but aristocratic families only eat these during the New Year. At most, they only cook them, and the meals are more elaborate.
This realization made Neo a little confused. Are the gangsters here the same as the gangsters in the lair during the previous negotiation? After all, everyone including the young woman looks chronically malnourished.
It looks like, even if we are celebrating in advance because we are about to get the ransom, and we are all stunned, our preparations are too thorough.
"Grandsons, I'm going to take a pee, and when I get back we'll continue drinking! Burp!"
After hearing such a drunken remark, Neo quickly figured out the direction and lurked all the way from the shadows like a ghost.
"Uncle, please be kind and give me whatever you want to stutter!" The haggard-looking woman begged in a trembling voice.
"Okay, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you a reward for stuttering!" The man with a strong body and a shiny face said, chewing a chicken leg in his hand until it was just a bone, and then threw it towards the woman.
The woman thanked her repeatedly, and then handed the bone to the little boy beside her. The boy chewed the bones like a dog and made a clicking sound.
"Hey hey hey..." The strong man smelling of alcohol staggered, casually found a corner, then unbuttoned his pants and peed. After peeing, he shivered twice in comfort. At this moment,
He felt a sharp pain on the side of his neck, and then fainted
Waking up was also accompanied by severe pain. The strong man was horrified to find that the joints of his limbs had been removed, a length of his own sleeve was tied in his mouth, and his eyes were blindfolded. Then someone was tortured on him
"Woooo..."
"Awake? Haha, enjoy!" Neo spoke through the face mask with a thick voice. Of course, the strong man had no time to pay attention to this now. Neo's torture made him miserable. This was his first priority to solve the problem, but Neo didn't ask any questions.
, did not stop, it was just a simple torture, the strong man's limbs trembled in pain, he fainted and woke up again and again, and finally became incontinent, Neo stopped.
"I have some questions I want to know. If your answers don't satisfy me, you have to continue enjoying it."
The strong man had been tortured to the point of losing his spine. As long as he was not tortured, even if Neo wanted to know how the strong man gave birth to him, he could make it up perfectly. So Neo quickly got what he wanted to know.
information
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me..." The strong man begged pitifully.
"Don't worry! If you cooperate so well, I won't kill you, but you have to faint for a while first..." Neo said in a comforting tone.
The strong man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then lost consciousness again. His last feeling was: it didn’t hurt this time.
In fact, the strong man's cooperation did not buy him a chance to live, but only gave him a relative peace before death. The 'life intake' destroyed his soul immediately, and in the end he turned into ashes and his former clothes
It's the urn
The place where Mirien was imprisoned was heavily guarded. There were several small rooms connected by a winding and narrow passage, and at the end was the cell. Neo was not able to enter the innermost part without alerting any guards, and he did not force his way in.
He started to wander in the dark, shuttle between shadows, looking for opportunities to kill those lone gangsters.
The target he wants to attack is easy to identify, as long as he has a red face and a fat belly. Most of these gangsters are level 3-4. Without defense, even if two or three are together, they are not Neo at all.
With his opponent, Neo killed more than 30 gangsters in half an hour by relying on flying knives and surprise attacks. Later, he simply changed into a gangster's outfit, concealed his face a little, and swaggered into the gangster den.
This gave him more opportunities to strike, and he even whipped one out in front of everyone, and then helped him out, explaining to the gangsters: "This coward is so drunk!"...
About 20 minutes later, a gangster rushed in in a hurry. Neo shook a wooden wine glass and bumped into it, "Come on! Brother, have a drink!"
"Go and have a drink! I have business now!" Neo cleverly used light and shadow to cover most of his face, and spoke slurredly, as if he had drunk too much. The absent-minded gangster did not notice Neo's fakeness.
"Hey, are you in a hurry to reincarnate? What happened?"
"Yanggu (the robbery target) sent out an emergency signal. Those Erdrit boys want to play tricks!" The gangsters headed towards the big house at the end of the road without looking back.
Neo knew that there was a problem at the temporary camp of the migration team. Just as he expected, there were not only potential spies in the migration team, but they were also divided into two types: internal and external. When the spies responsible for front-line detection were caught, they were hiding in the dark.
Immediately launch magic fireworks and other items as a warning. Considering the distance between the bandit's den and the temporary camp, it is not a problem to see such fireworks clearly.
Not long after the gangster who reported the news entered the big house, a group of gangsters rushed out of the big house angrily, cursing and heading towards the passage where the prison was located. Neo stood in the shadows and watched all this coldly, and passed
Telepathy tells Thorn that the operation can begin
Not long after, the group of gangsters who went to the prison to arrest someone returned from the passage in shock and anger. The leader shouted angrily: "Go and guard the gate for me, gather everyone together and look for him.
The hostages are in this dungeon!"
There was chaos in the gangster's lair, the pot was boiling, and the gangsters put down what they were eating, drinking, and having fun, gathered together, and swung around like headless flies. Then they started amidst the whips and scoldings of several leaders.
After a simple list, it was found that almost 50 people were missing, which was nearly 14 gangsters. Now the gangsters were not only frightened and angry, but also caused commotion and panic.
At the same time, Neo was walking on the road leading to the cell, seemingly slow but actually fast.
The huts along the way were originally guard checkpoints, but now most of them went to gather and search all over the city. Only two people were left at the last checkpoint.
"Everyone has run away, what use are you two still here for!" Neo shouted confidently at the two of them, taking big steps at the same time.
"Captain Sangster asked us to..."
The other gangster was obviously much more alert. He interrupted his companion and asked loudly: "Who are you? What are you doing here?" As he said this, he touched the handle of the knife at his waist with one hand.
"Fuck, you guys have drank too much cat urine, and I don't even know you? Do you know Boss Gissen's token?" What Neo took out was not a token, but a flying knife. The knife flew out and disappeared into it.
A gangster's forehead
The vigilant gangster was also much stronger than his dead companion. While Neo was throwing the throwing knife, this guy had already rushed towards Neo. The short knife was unsheathed and curled up like a horse.
The sharp sound of breaking through the air indicates that this knife is very powerful.
Neo was well prepared, and was not fooled by the brightness and power of the knife at all. He made a deft kick with his left foot, hitting the knife-holding hand of the gangster, followed by a series of kicks with his right foot.
The tip of his toe touched the gangster's heart.
Affected by the kick, the gangster's knife went astray and cut off the clothes on the upper part of Neo's left arm and shoulder. Neo's kick gave the gangster a feeling of instant congestion on his face. He was swollen and buzzing at the same time.
Suddenly his vision turned black, he felt dizzy, his perception of the outside world was greatly reduced, and his thoughts went blank. Then he never recovered. One of Neo's hands had already grabbed his head...
The two tall and strong gangsters quickly turned into two small bags of garbage. At this time, Miriam had also walked out of the cell.
The cell is very small and has an unobstructed view. Because of this, no matter how unbelievable it is to the gangsters, when they see that there is no one in the cell, their first reaction is not that the hostages are hiding, but that they have been used by someone else.
He was rescued in an unimaginable way, especially when a spy issued a warning message.
In fact, Thorn controlled the ayahuasca to complete a task like opening a sarcophagus on the ceiling, which Mirien could not do at all. This task had already begun when she found Mirien. The really technical part of it was actually
On the fine layer of dust on the floor of the prison, Ayahuasca took out a shell and turned the stones it took out into dust. As for the difficulty of Mirien hiding in the ceiling, it was because of the multi-tentacle equipment such as active armor.
, but it is far less difficult than covering the gaps in the coffin-board-like stone shell.
"Neo..." Thousands of words were contained in this affectionate call. In just ten hours, Miriam looked a lot more haggard. She didn't even realize that she was eating well, drinking well, and her body was healthy.
Only with strength can we better cooperate with the rescue. Ever since I was captured, frightened, threatened, made obscene words, and touched, I have been crying and have not touched the food and water that I was given. I have already tortured myself to death.
If the soft-legged shrimp hadn't been actively assisted by the active armor, I'd probably have trouble walking on my own now.
Once Miriam gets involved in war-related events, she is simply a 100% burden. Neo will not complain or blame him for this. He loves Miriam deeply. Although this cannot be a reason to ignore Miriam's flaws and shortcomings.
Reason, but it can make him better discover the advantages of Miriam. Miriam has a heart as pure as crystal. This alone is enough for Neo to care for him throughout his life.
After a passionate kiss, Neo said softly: "Come on, let's get out of this hellish place first. I'm afraid your stomach is already growling with hunger?"
Miriam, who looked aggrieved and had red and swollen eyes, broke into tears and smiled, nodding vigorously, "I'm hungry!"
When Neo and Miriam came out of the prison passage, the gangsters were driving the slaves around to gather in a small empty square. At this time, Miriam had already put on the gangster's clothes, which were supported by active armor.
Not showing off their cowardice, the two took advantage of the chaos. Neo's calm performance allowed the two to escape from the gangsters' entanglements several times.
He opened a few large rocks at the end of a seemingly collapsed passage, and carried Miriam up and down the dark passage, turning three times and two. Neo showed that he was extremely familiar with this place, and the path he chose,
It turned out to be a closed one. Even the gangsters didn't know much about the vast magical power of Miriam. Miriam was very puzzled. It wasn't until she saw Neo recycling heather larvae as big as grasshoppers somewhere that she realized that these little things
I'm afraid that's the answer
After walking a distance of more than a thousand meters, Miriam felt the moist and fresh breath from the flowing cold wind. She knew that she was already very close to the surface. Sure enough, after walking less than a hundred meters, Miriam looked at
The night scene when the moon hangs in the east sky
The location the two of them were in was a half-earth and half-stone kiln hanging on the cliff of a valley. It could not reach the sky or the ground. Neo was fully prepared here, with tents and beddings, and even a hidden campfire.
The food was already cooked, and the food was still hot on the fire. Miriam once again experienced what it means to be well-prepared, well-planned, and confident.
Bang! Fireworks bloomed in the night sky. Compared with the ones used by the gangsters, these fireworks were much simpler, but they could still be seen from the temporary camp. Seeing the fireworks, the migration team knew that the hostages had been rescued. In this way
Laibian was confident in order to prevent blackmail from the gangsters. After all, with the cunningness of these gangsters, when they received the warning signal from the spies, they were likely to search and intercept Neo and Miriam while quickly heading to the migration team.
, relying on fraud to take a final gamble
In addition, the fireworks also have the function of summoning the "Polyface". Neo has a better understanding of the gangsters. The previous plan to let the "Polyface" start a bloody storm in another gangster den like a slum has been cancelled.
After chatting with Miriam for a while, Neo used relaxed and gentle words to soothe Miriam's wounded heart.
"I want to be more useful, like Sister Liz, so, so..."
Things happened for a reason, and they took advantage of the opportunity. Miriam saw the various performances of Liz and Valentina and their interactions with Neo. Although she was simple, she still instinctively felt a sense of crisis, or in other words
, Liz and Valentina's excellence made Miriam realize that as a manifestation of love, she should share more of Neo's worries, but was exploited. This is the root and hidden secret of this incident.
Neo can completely understand Miriam's mood, and he also knows that strictly speaking, he has to bear a certain responsibility for this matter. There are all kinds of difficult things happening one after another, and he is overwhelmed. He has no time to spend time in a good environment like he did in Tulip Town.
In the atmosphere and environment, we talk heart-to-heart and express our friendship to each other. But when big and small things happen frequently like now, what is needed most is in-depth communication, so that the differences in cognition between the two people can be found to reach a harmonious and unified consensus.
Neo has realized that this incident has exposed the existing problems between the two. Neo has a deep sense of powerlessness for the first time. How can he have both career and love?
