My slow journey to infinity

It took Mia some time to bring the combat teacher who called himself "Brother Hui" and his two students outside the black clinic a few hours ago.

At this time, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

It was still raining in Zhongcheng District, and there were gloomy black clouds in the sky. Most of the light on the streets came from the crowds surrounding the black clinic.

Each of them had a small flat lamp the size of a fist hanging on their body. The orange-yellow light was moistened by the rain, making their figures very illusory.

"How did you discover this turbid abyss creature?"

Brother Hui, who was silent all the way, casually asked Mia while looking at the crowds and buildings not far away.

"I hired a very powerful local man, and he found this place based on the information he asked for, but he slipped away after that. He seemed to have run away."

Mia's answer was almost entirely true.

"Hmm~ A very powerful local, okay."

Brother Hui replied vaguely, and then looked at the two logs ten meters away behind him.

"Hey, stop being awkward. You two go and deal with the locals at the door. We want to go in and take a look."

"Huh? Both of us?"

One of the pieces of wood asked an unbelievable question, and his voice was filled with a sense of pushback that he felt was troublesome.

Mia looked back impatiently.

They were two rather tall eighth-grade students from the Tree of Origin. They were fully armed, but the weapons behind their backs were tightly stuffed into protective sheaths, with no intention of taking them out.

They seemed not to understand Brother Hui's command, with rejection written all over their faces.

Brother Hui obviously knew his students very well, so he said directly:

"I'll give you two five minutes to ask those people to clear the way. Otherwise, you will have to wait for my veto in this year's promotion exam."

"How about this, Brother Hui? It's the same thing every time."

The student in brown soft protective clothing almost subconsciously replied.

The other guy in dark green clothes was more straightforward. He had already passed Brother Hui in a few steps and walked directly in the direction of the black clinic.

Mia looked at the two eighth-grade seniors with bulging bodies and was full of doubts.

“Don’t worry, Kalila-san, we are not wasting time, this is necessary work.

Moreover, I want to remind you that the school trusts you and has allowed you to be active outside until now, but you must also pay attention to yourself. No matter what we find out later, you cannot overreact, understand? "

Brother Hui stood at the alley, staring at the black clinic. He could feel Mia's clear and extremely depressed emotions without looking at her, so he said a few more words.

Mia didn't reply, but she did relax a little, which was a guarantee.

Five minutes passed quickly.

No fight broke out in front of the black clinic, but a moderate shout came:

"Boss, I've asked you clearly. Please come over and confirm!"

The one who shouted was the outgoing student wearing brown protective clothing. He was standing with the locals and greeting the two people at the alley.

"Walk."

Brother Hui gave a brief instruction, and they soon arrived at the door of the black clinic. The student in brown clothes also came over immediately. He said in a low voice:

"Ahem, boss, they are gathered here because the only hospital on the street was robbed and the doctor died inside.

Oh, by the way, this is a new local gang. It was still a small union last week, so we haven't seen any of us patrolling the streets. The "meaning" has been given, which is enough. Why don't you go back and get them a sign? "

The brown-coated student changed his previous lazy look and showed a very vivid slickness and vulgarity. He rubbed the [Midtown Administration Bureau] badge on his chest and conveyed a lot of information with a simple look.

He spoke in a low voice, but Mia was sure that several local leaders present must have heard him.

The expressions of the several leaders are very exciting, cautious, reserved, and excited. They are human emotions that Mia can also understand.

"Wrong, this is your job, it has nothing to do with me. Also, please control the scene and don't let irrelevant people come in and out at will."

Brother Hui spoke in an official tone and walked past everyone.

He naturally understood that the brown-clothed students were pretending to be members of the [Midtown Administration Bureau], but as long as he could achieve his goal, he didn't care about the students' methods.

Soon, Mia also walked into the familiar black clinic again, but what surprised her was that the place seemed much empty?

"Is this a hospital? Why are there only a few beds and a small amount of consumables? Are there no medical instruments or commonly used drugs that are readily available?"

Brother Hui directly whispered the question, then he quickly walked to an empty corner of the hall, took out his right hand from his pocket, and brought out a very bright small lamp.

The light illuminated the obvious old and new marks on the floor. Brother Hui looked at Mia and asked:

"Who left first, you or the people you hired?"

"He ran away first." Mia had already guessed what Wang Shui had done, but it should not affect the investigation, so she chose to lie.

"Well - after you guys, someone else should have been here. They moved a lot of things. Well, it could also be those gang members outside... No, it won't be them."

Brother Hui analyzed in a low voice, but did not stop.

He had already walked up the stairs in the hall. In the middle of the stairs was the doctor whose head was blown.

The corpse wearing a medical protective suit lay straight in a pool of his own blood. In his right hand, he held a huge old pistol. Its rough appearance seemed to have been made by some kind of private workshop.

The deceased's fatal injuries were obvious - 90% of his head was gone, and only half of his jaw remained on his neck.

And around the body, there were traces of blood splashing everywhere on the stairs and walls.

Brother Hui squatted down directly facing the smell of blood. At the same time, he quickly put on a pair of white latex gloves, and the small lamp was pinned to his chest.

Then, he stretched out his hand directly towards the bloody wound.

He picked up some blood plasma and watched it dripping between his fingers. He touched the stubble of muscles and bones with his fingers, and then found a small metal fragment among the dark red lumps.

"Weightened alloy warhead, magic-breaking metal, warhead propellant, built-in explosive in the warhead, smart fuze - tsk, the cost of this bullet is not low, at least it is definitely not a mass-produced product.

Kalila, how much do you know? "

"This doctor was killed by someone I hired. He asked for a high price." Miado explained.

“Although I don’t know the price offered by the other party, as long as you can afford it, it’s worth it.”

Brother Hui showed a satisfied smile. He picked up some plasma with his right hand, showed it to Mia, and explained at the same time:

"Did you see the purple floc in the blood? These are the daughter cells of the [Zang Abyss Worm]. Well, this is a very troublesome creature from the Abyss. It is very cautious and cunning.

And this doctor has been completely controlled by the host of [Zangyuan Zangworm]. Just blowing his head off and cutting him off from his mother's body is the best way to deal with it.

However, being able to hit the upper lip with one blow and causing the bullet to explode in the center of the enemy's brain is not something that ordinary people can do. It seems that you have really hired a master. "

As Brother Hui spoke, he put the bullet fragments and a small amount of plasma into a small bottle that he carried with him, and then put them into his pocket together.

After that, they went up to the second floor.

It was more empty here and there were no traces, so the two went directly to the third floor.

"Oh, that's right! This smells just right! There are creatures from the turbid abyss that have lived here!"

Brother Hui's voice suddenly became a little more excited, but his expression was still so casual, even a little lazy.

Mia can already roughly guess why Brother Hui's two students are so lazy.

But what made Mia even more speechless was that the third floor was also too empty.

Those weird scale statues and dark purple candles were gone, and now only the circular magic circle remained on the previously crowded third floor, but the magic circle seemed much darker.

Brother Hui walked around the empty third floor, then squatted down and reached out to touch the magic circle on the ground.

"Huh? It's strange. Someone shoveled this magic circle, but he didn't completely clean it up. It seems that he left it on purpose? Then why did he want to flatten this magic circle?"

Brother Hui was whispering in surprise again, but this time, Mia really didn't know.

It was difficult for her to understand Wang Shui's thoughts and actions, so she was too lazy to help him.

After that, Brother Hui quickly confirmed that the Zhuoyuan creature had run away, so he didn't stay too long. They also had a big target called the "Zhuoxinhui" and came here just to confirm Mia's information.

The four of them said goodbye to the warm invitation given by the local new gang to stay, and now they had to quickly rush to the nearest [Demon Hunter] organization supply point.

According to Brother Hui, they were going to get some professional props.

But just as he passed a relatively wide street, Brother Hui suddenly stopped.

"What? Did you leave something on the scene again, Brother Hui?" The student in brown clothes complained very quickly.

"wrong,"

Brother Hui replied with only one word, then took out a ring very seriously and put it on the ring finger of his right hand.

He slowly raised his right hand above his head, relaxed and gathered his fingers, and pointed his index finger to the sky very relaxedly.

Afterwards, Brother Hui sang in a low voice:

[With the deep blue sun, and my peaceful soul, I will inherit the ancient oath - I will see]

As Brother Hui's voice fell, a small but bright dark blue light ball condensed in front of his index finger, and then slowly rose into the sky.

The dark blue light ball only flew about three meters in the air, and then spread a soft light field around it.

Then, on this relatively wide street, the dark blue light quickly turned into dark purple fog, and the thick fog directly blurred the surrounding buildings.

"Hey, what a big fish. Although the level is not high, it is so special...

Okay, kids, the plan has changed. Our enemies have crossed the border, so I need to go back to the branch headquarters. You should go back to the "temporary command center" first. Remember, you are not allowed to run around, otherwise..."

"Ah, I understand. Otherwise, I will be vetoed by you. No need to keep reminding me. Brother Hui, just go on your way with peace of mind."

The brown-clothed student's words were met with a heavy slap on the shoulder from Brother Hui, and two shallow footprints appeared on the ground.

But this time, Brother Hui did not find his way back to the language. He just smiled and shook his head.

Before separating from the three students, he took off the ring and handed it to the brown-coated student.

"Ah? Is the matter so serious? Even the [Demon Hunting Ring] has been confessed. Brother Hui, are you going to sacrifice your life for justice?"

The brown-coated student was answered with a second heavy tap on the shoulder, but this time, Brother Hui did not act like the Riddler:

"Shut your stinky mouth, this is just a precaution.

For me, [Ring] is just an amplifying prop, but it can help you two interns use [Demon Hunter] abilities and help you resist the erosion of the Holy Seal. "

"Oh! What you mean is that we are allowed to play with the Holy Seal!"

Not only the students in brown clothes, but also the quiet and decisive student in dark green clothes also showed a very obvious excitement.

"You are not allowed to blaspheme the Holy... Phew - you are not allowed to use any abilities on ordinary people, you are not allowed to leave the "temporary command center", and you, Kalila, don't touch the Holy Seal, do you understand? "

Brother Hui, who originally planned to preach harshly, compromised in a very vague manner.

And Mia was even more confused. She didn't know why she was being lectured. She was not a child who was full of curiosity about the extraordinary world. How could she risk her own life and play with the Holy Seal?

The magic and danger of [Holy Seal] is a basic and compulsory course in all schools.

However, Mia still nodded obediently, as she was used to replying to all teachers in this way.

The four of them quickly divided into two teams. Combat teacher Hui Ge burst out with extremely fast speed, broke through the rain curtain, and disappeared in mid-air.

He shouldn't be flying, but Mia didn't know how to describe that brutal way of moving in the air.

The teacher left first. The three students on this side didn't do anything wrong. They returned to the "temporary command center" very obediently.

Although the brown-coated student always likes to make jokes, he can really feel that Brother Hui is serious. He is just a poor talker, not disobedient.

In the "Temporary Command Center", the two eighth-grade students rested directly in the intelligence room on the first floor, but Mia went directly to the innermost room on the second floor.

She didn't have a key, so she could only force open the door. Sure enough, the [Protective Array] inside had not been removed.

Brother Hui dared to let the students come back here alone, he must have wanted to use the [Protective Array] here to help him take care of the students.

The array was running automatically. Mia confirmed the scope of her authority and then breathed a sigh of relief - she was now on probation, but the school did not reduce her authority.

Phew—Mia let out a complex sigh of frustration.

She could no longer guess the development of the whole thing. It seemed that there was more than just the [Zhuo Xin Hui] problem.

Her new acquaintance, [Brother Shui], should know something.

And [Brother Hui] who came today seems to know their enemy better.

Only Mia, she knew nothing about anyone.

Although she feels a little lonely, Mia no longer has the anxiety and confusion of yesterday. She will not die immediately now, so she has regained some patience.

boom! ——

Mia, who had just finished checking the [Protective Array], was about to leave, but was suddenly interrupted by a violent vibration in the building.

Mia immediately rushed to the front room. The window here had been shattered, directly revealing the dark and purple sky outside.

A blue light shone downstairs, and when Mia was about to jump out of the window as a transcendent, she suddenly remembered the [Protective Array] just now.

That's right, jumping out now is equivalent to giving up the positional protection!

After Mia came back to her senses, she immediately ran to the stairs not far away, and also sent an attack warning to several channels.

Notifying the school when something happens is also a basic understanding for all students.

Finally, her attention fell on a special thinking network. On the other end of the network, there was only one signal.

Mia stopped.

Even though the building was shaken twice more, it did not interrupt her thinking.

After a few seconds of sorting out her emotions, Mia still sent out a notification:

""Temporary Command Center", I was attacked, the enemy is unknown. "

no reply.

Phew - Mia took a deep breath inexplicably, and then started to go downstairs. The sound of her cane tapping on the wooden stairs gradually calmed her down.

She doesn’t know who the enemy is, [Zhuoyuan]? Local gang? Or someone else who dares to attack [Tree of Origin High School] head-on?

But she knew that this was the world she needed to face in order to know something.

Even if she is the only one left in the seven-person team, she will be brave enough to face this damn world.

Ding--

Mia, who was getting excited, suddenly heard a special reminder in her mind.

[Don’t worry, I’m here. 】
