Endless route

Chapter 164 3. Multi-line development

Zheng Yun explained the mission in the old tavern on the main street of La Maine Town. The ten people he selected, plus Kedester, all sat around a long and narrow old wooden table.

This room was originally a tavern and casino.

The texture of the old wooden table has been dyed black by the passage of time, and the rough texture is densely covered with knife holes. When you reach out and touch it, it gives people a strong sense of historical déjà vu, as if you have returned to a gold rush town in the gold rush era, and the people around you are the players participating in the game.

The old chips in the wooden cabinet next to it, the debtor's name carved on the wall, the coins left in the blind corner, and the target hanging on the wooden pillar all add to the atmosphere.

An old-fashioned chandelier hangs down.

Provide dim lighting to an old wooden table.

The light and dark light and shadow poured on them, allowing these players hidden in the light corners to return to the game.

"These are my requirements."

Zheng Yun finished his description of the mission requirements and leaned back on the old wooden chair for a while, hiding in the dim shadows, looking around at the eleven people on the long table except himself.

It is a historic moment, big or small. Although I am not keen on witnessing history, it is still worth commemorating.

Sit in the main seat by yourself.

Others lined up left and right.

Kedester sat in the front seat to Zheng Yun's left, unconsciously playing with a stack of chips in his hand. His sharp eyes, obscured by the brim of his cowboy hat, were also scanning his new teammates.

There is a very strange feeling.

There is a subtle connection between them. Although they met for the first time, they are closely connected and trust each other. They are not like ordinary teammates, but more like members of the same 'big family'.

Very weird.

It's chilling.

It should be the effect of some kind of weird ability. Kedester looked around with a satisfied smile on his lips.

"Where could Garth Erin have gone?"

Li Xiya pushed up her glasses and asked first. She was wearing a black diviner's robe and sat on the right hand seat of Zheng Yun.

As the person who has explored the Underworld Pavilion the most, obtained the ancient books left by the owner of the Underworld Pavilion, mastered the use of Guixi, and even understood it more deeply, she is qualified to sit here.

Along with her questions.

Zheng Yun glanced sideways at her. He had black hair, black eyes, and dazzlingly white skin. He was holding a deck of tarot cards in his hand.

She is a young woman with a collecting bent.

She vaguely remembered that her divination shop was filled with Western occult items she had brought. If she wanted to leave the town of La Maine, she would need four or five off-road vehicles to take them all away.

"have no idea."

Kedester shook his head frankly.

"Any clues?"

An elderly Westerner asked. He was wearing an old-fashioned gold mining vest, with white hair tied back by leather bands. He had extremely deep eye sockets and bright eyes. He was holding a glass of foreign wine in his hand, and his fingers showed signs of playing a guitar.

Monotto, the old man who plays and sings old songs.

In fact, he is an expert in Western niche languages ​​with extremely rich experience. He is also a beneficiary of the gold rush. He has a rich inheritance from his gold digger family.

"Not a lot, I don't know her very well."

Kedester smiled.

"As the ex-husband of Jia Si Aileen, you actually know nothing about your wife and the mother of your child?"

Another blonde lady said.

Fake Demona, a travel writer, has been on all flights from E-07 to W-07, and has written several best-selling books. She is a Western independent woman in her forties with very avant-garde ideas.

Follow their words.

Others also asked.

Zheng Yun looked at each one, and the next person to ask the question was a middle-aged man. He was a senior hunter and an expert in wilderness survival. He had a dagger and an old-fashioned revolver on his waist.

Then there is a young woman who has no skills. The special thing is that she is from London, England. Her only specialty is that her family is rich, and she knows nothing else.

However, her family is an emerging family in the 21st century, mainly engaged in hotels and social media. It is richer than the old aristocratic upper class, but in fact it is not in the upper class.

In addition, this woman named Olivea has another characteristic. Nearly one-fifth of the residents of La Maine Town are all rescuers hired by her to rescue her.

This is a difficult problem for her to deal with.

She is said to be guilty, but she paid to hire people, and in the rescue business, you always have to bear the consequences.

She was said to be innocent, but she concealed something and didn't provide any clues, at least not completely.

In addition, the rescuers were all killed in La Maine Town. She actually didn't give any money, at least no one could get the money she gave them.

So she either committed a very minor crime, or she was the one who committed the biggest crime in La Maine and killed the most people.

Fortunately, Zheng Yun didn't need to consider these tiny rules and regulations. The initial sentencing was done by Li Xiya, and when the final punishment was imposed, Zheng Yun followed the local rules of the industry.

Whoever commits the crime is responsible.

Repay the other person with his own way.

A very simple but effective method.

As for taking them away this time, it has become the rule of Haiwei again. As long as they can be used for their own purposes, Hanxian is an immortal.

Earlier, Zheng Yun did have some fears about these people in La Maine Town, not because of them themselves, but because of the Wang Xi and influence that the Yin soldiers had complete control over.

Turn living people with social status into your own shadow soldiers, completely controlled by you, and you can easily steal their wealth and everything they own.

Too weird.

It's also too appalling.

Wang Xi's ability and potential are great, but it is a pity that the scope of Hou Xi's use is limited to La Maine Town and the vicinity of Hades Pavilion, otherwise the previous Hades Pavilion master would have succeeded in his rebellion.

If Zheng Yun was just an ordinary driver, then he wouldn't dare to drive these underworld soldiers, especially Westerners with high status like Kedster and Olephia.

It's a matter of social pressure.

It is also a moral issue.

These problems no longer exist.

He stood in the position of Triton Superintendent Sensi. Due to the scarcity of Triton personnel, he had enough identity and position, as well as enough confidence and reasons to drive them.

And it's just an ordinary mission to find people, and it doesn't mean they have to go to all kinds of dangerous places to die, so it's nothing.

Watched them quietly for a while.

Everyone spoke and discussed at the old wooden table, and quickly established the direction of finding Jiasi Aileen, the cooperation required to complete this task, and the contribution that everyone could make.

As Zheng Yun's subordinate.

Their goals are the same.

As the owner of Wang Xi, Zheng Yun provided them with the opportunity to be free, which was worth cherishing.

The final plan they came up with was that they would return to modern society and pretend to be scattered, and cooperate with each other in daily life to find Jia Si Aileen and create public opinion.

Very reasonable plan.

Zheng Yun did not participate in the entire discussion.

After they finalized their plan, Zheng Yun provided some assistance and bought them tickets to return to modern times.

No matter if they are short of money or not.

But this boat ticket should be paid by Zheng Yun, and he will also bear any subsequent official expenses until this organization hidden in Western society starts to make profits on its own.

In addition, Zheng Yun also had other considerations, and did not intend to let them know about the existence of the secret realm before he knew them well enough.

Late that night.

Several off-road vehicles left the town of La Maine and headed to the port of Enns. Everyone took a cruise ship and returned to modern society.

…

Late August.

Zheng Yun stepped off the cruise ship and set foot on land in Fuen City again. The sweltering heat of summer continued. The summer of W-06 will last until mid-September, which is still half a month away.

The person who came to pick him up was Zhang Ergou.

Driving a pawn shop's pickup truck.

In fact, Zheng Yun and Jidao Zhang Ergou met two days ago, but they could not buy tickets to return to Fuen City, so they could only return to the pawn shop through the secret realm.

As soon as Zheng Yun got in the car, Zhang Ergou turned his head and looked over, smiling and saying, "Master Xian, Master Zhang died miserably."

"You deserve it."

Zheng Yun nodded.

They also went to the Pregnant Monster Tower in Qianzhou Strait to see Master Zhang and his uncle, and also observed the situation of the Kraken. As a result, only a few skeletons of Master Zhang and others were left. It stinks at the bottom of the Pregnant Demon Tower.

As for the Kraken.

It may take a few more years.

The mechanisms in the Pregnant Demon Tower can provide some food for those sea monsters, and can also limit the size of the sea monsters.

If the sea monsters are released, I'm afraid it won't take long before their numbers will double and they will continue to cause harm to the world.

"Master Ji went to look for alchemy materials outside the Tiangong area. Hanxian confirmed that everything is fine. I had connected the solar panels the day before yesterday, so I can put the Hanxian ecological tank in another place."

"Kedester's daughter came to our pawn shop yesterday. I don't know where she found the location. I was temporarily fooled by it. How do you want to deal with it?"

Zhang Ergou kept reporting on his work, similar to a secretary in modern society, but his expression and tone were like a eunuch.

"After that, let Kedester come and meet her daughter. By the way, she can bring back Jia Si Aileen's notebook."

Zheng Yun nodded.

Zhang Ergou can't be considered ugly, but Zheng Yun is still not satisfied with this secretary and plans to go back and find another one.

You have to find someone with a decent background.

And at least it can hold up the facade.

While thinking about it, the minivan returned to the door of Jianghe Pawn Shop on Jinhuai Road. Immortal Demon Li Huawan stood at the door early, staring directly at the trajectory of the minivan with a pair of clear eyes.

"Has the jade carving done any business recently?"

Zheng Yun asked during the U-turn of the pickup truck.

"There are some, but not many. Do you want to promote it online? Master Immortal, the Fairy Demon Queen is as beautiful as a fairy. If you promote it online, your business will improve quickly."

Zhang Ergou shrank his neck and remonstrated.

Zheng Yun glanced at him. These people from the Qianxian Dojo all respected Li Huawan. In their eyes, Li Huawan was an immortal fairy who had lived for hundreds of years.

Even Zhang Ergou, who has a lively mind, has no doubt about this statement. Perhaps he had doubted it before in Qianxian Dojo, but Li Huawan no longer doubted it after entering the Heavenly Palace.

The immortal demon can live in the attic courtyard of the Heavenly Palace and be served by maids. It is obvious that his identity has been authenticated by the Immortal Supervisor.

Zheng Yun probably knew what they were thinking, but the mystery had not yet been solved. He didn't know Li Huawan's background or what kind of secrets she had.

Moreover, she was a victim of the Pregnant Demon Tower. Zheng Yun could not lock her in the basement, and the maid was helpless. Those deaf girls were already used to it and would not be able to change it for a while.

The next period of time.

Let’s check Li Huawan too.

"Jidao went outside the Tiangong territory? Why did he suddenly dare to go out?" Zheng Yun continued to ask.

Outside the Tiangong territory refers to the primitive mountain forest outside the Tiangong complex, which is what Ji Dao said before. It is a very dangerous and terrifying place where creatures from the mountains and seas appear at every turn.

"Master Ji said that there are colorful clouds in the east of Tiangong, which is a good time to find medicinal materials. It happened that the funds you gave last time, Master Xian, were still surplus, so I bought two sets of chemical protective suits."

"Master Ji said this is what you want, Master Xian. Everyone in Supervisory Immortal Division must seize every opportunity to improve their strength, and alchemy is one of them. We plan to practice it well this time."

Zhang Ergou said with a flattering smile.

Zheng Yun nodded, and it was indeed what he said. The dark clouds of the ancient city of Red Mist were looming overhead. They must improve their strength during the period before going to explore.

It’s not just about making alchemy.

All aspects must be improved.

There are many directions for Tiangong's development, such as controlling other things according to Tiangong's immortal skills of controlling dragons. Zheng Yun can also personally participate in learning this matter.

In addition, there are many ancient books handed down from Tiangong, including many Taoist swordsmanship and exercises, which Zheng Yun also plans to practice.

There is also Li Huawan. Finding out her secrets and abilities may also bring about great improvement.

Heavenly Palace is a treasure place.

There are so many things that can be developed.

However, the Heavenly Palace should also be an abandoned place. I don’t know why it was isolated, and there may be some hidden dangers.

Except for the direction of Tiangong.

The pawn shop can also develop here. The Immortal Supervisor is very short of money, so Zhang Ergou is asked to quickly sell the stolen goods and see if he can do some shopping and exchange for some antiques.

The same goes for Li Huawan.

She should get her ID card early. As a descendant of the ancient jade carving method, she can make some money online if she is willing.

As the head of the Supervisory Immortal Division, Zheng Yun himself travels in a small truck from more than ten years ago, and occasionally has to go out for a run, so she, the Immortal Immortal Demon, cannot eat and drink for free.

There are all kinds of things besides.

The most critical thing is the investigation of Hongwu Ancient City. There are a large number of ancient Tiangong books. In addition to the ghost stories that Ji Dao read as novels, there are also a lot of boring records that he has never read.

Maybe the ancient city is remembered inside.

It takes a lot of time to rummage.

The Western forces need to worry about it. Zheng Yun needs to know in detail about every action of Kedester and others. If it involves the Western upper class, he must be cautious in every step.

New covert organizations also needed to develop.

Zheng Yun also plans to study the Hanxian individuals, and even study the Hades Pavilion and the Pregnant Demon Tower, especially Wang Xi, as well as the blood monkeys and blood pills of the Thousand Immortals Dojo.

These things add up.

Don't even think about taking a break during this time.

While thinking about it, the minivan stopped at the door of the pawn shop. Zheng Yun got out of the car and walked towards the pawn shop. Just as Li Huawan was about to say something, Zheng Yun's phone suddenly vibrated several times.

A text message came.

The note is from Xu Yu of the Cultural Relics Bureau:

【Come and sit if you have time】

Zheng Yun was startled, and immediately turned around and looked around, especially the nook and cranny across the street. He always felt like someone was spying on him and controlling his every move.

But think about it carefully.

In fact, there is no need at all.

As soon as he came back, there was an entry text message, and the ship ticket information was also public to people. It was normal for people to pay a little attention to him since he took over from his adoptive father.

Besides, the cooperation between Jidao Zhang Ergou and them was very pleasant last time, so the Cultural Relics Bureau would not send anyone over to monitor them.

This is also a development route.

I can really go and sit there when I look back.

"What are you going to say?" Zheng Yun looked at Li Huawan.

"I told Jiang Meng that you were coming back, and she whispered to me that your birthday is next month. I hope you will celebrate your birthday in Fu'en City before leaving." Li Huawan took out her mobile phone and said.

"..."

Zheng Yun was silent for a moment.

During this time, she rarely spent time with Jiang Meng and rarely interacted with her family. Perhaps this was the reason why her adoptive mother disliked her adoptive father, and she seemed to be becoming more and more similar to her adoptive father.
