Gold is Justice

In desperation, Airl could only point to a door ahead to re-enter the interior of the cliff, signaling everyone to go inside.After thinking for a while, the old man nodded. After letting Ai Luo and others take the lead and go forward first, the old man stood with the civilians behind and followed closely step by step.

Entering the cave, this seems to be a place where some workers in this area rest and live.There are some living areas along the way, and apart from the occasional two zombies and baby ghouls, it seems that there is no danger.

After walking a certain distance to the inside of the cave and confirming that the sound of the waterfall outside was no longer so harsh, Airl found a room that looked like a staff lounge, and let everyone enter here to take a rest for a while.

It was also at this time that he was able to come to the old man and said with a smile on his face: "May I ask this old man, judging from the clothes on your body, you should not be an employee of this underground passage or a homeless man." Right? May I ask why you appeared in that place?"

Facing Airl, the old man looked him up and down, and then his eyes fell on Brad, Cream and Coco, and finally looked at the whiskey and polyester over there, and said slowly: "Are you Is the leader of this team?"

Airl nodded and said with a smile: "The president of the Mermaid Song Guild, Airl Garcia, is willing to serve you."

Now that Airl had already reported his name, the old man let out a sigh of relief and said, "Sharp Eagle Histan. I really didn't expect that the one who came to rescue me earlier would be a small guild."

After hearing the old man's self-reported name, Airl's face was slightly surprised. After thinking for a while, he said: "Mr. Ruiying Histan...is that right? Excuse me, your Histan...is that one?" Histan?"

The old man smiled and nodded lightly: "I'm afraid, it's the Histan you think."

Ke Ke at the side was full of question marks: "Brother President, what Histan? Are there many Histans?"

It's a pity that Airl didn't respond to the child, but directly stretched out his hand to let the little girl go behind, and said with a smile again: "Mr. Histan, it's really embarrassing for you to stay by the waterfall all the time? Although this method Really good."

Rui Ying nodded, covered his ears with his hands and rubbed them slightly, and said, "That's right, that's good, those undead corpses, and those monsters that eat people seem to have very keen hearing. I stayed by the waterfall, the huge The sound will naturally disturb their hearing, so they will involuntarily stay away from the waterfall. There is no way, I don't have any ability to fight monsters, so I can only rely on this method to support until rescue arrives."

At this time, the civilians had already started to rummage around in the lounge, finding out some food that the staff here hadn't had time to take away when they evacuated, and divided them among each other.Cream also took some food and placed it in front of Airl and Ruiying.Ai Luo smiled and pushed the food towards Rui Ying, and said with a smile: "Please use it. In this situation, please make it up first."

The old man was not polite, he just picked up a box of biscuits and ate them.It looked like he hadn't eaten for a while, and he was eating a little too fast.But even so, he still maintained a more elegant posture, which was completely different from the civilians behind who saw the food and immediately grabbed it and devoured it.

After eating two biscuits, Rui Ying gently stroked his beard with some biscuit crumbs on it, and said, "Well, you just said...you are from Song of the Mermaid, and you are the president of this guild, Ai Ro Garcia? Right?"

Arrow nodded and smiled, "Yes."

Rui Ying exhaled and said with a smile: "President Ai Luo's expression is very sincere? It seems that you plan to make a lot of money with me, right?"

Now that the old man has made it clear directly, Airl feels that he no longer needs to hide it: "I like Mr. Histan's frankness. Then look... How about a hundred gold coins? With your Identity, this shouldn’t be such an expensive price, right?”

Hearing this offer, Rui Ying couldn't help laughing out loud.He shook his head lightly and said: "Young man, you are really good at taking advantage of the fire. You are the Adventurer's Guild. Since it is the Adventurer's Guild, it is obvious that you have received a reward or signed a commission before coming here to save people." Contract, right? I don’t believe that an adventurer’s guild like you would go to such a place to take risks just because of the heart of justice.”

Chapter 270 Two Footsteps

Airl smiled slightly, and didn't intend to say anything more.

Seeing that Ai Luo didn't speak, Rui Ying continued to rub his beard, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Thirty gold coins, it's my personal extra payment to you. Since you can find me so easily, you should also You already know how to get out of this ghostly place, right? You can almost count this money thrown on your head out of thin air."

Thirty gold coins...

Airl originally wanted to fight for a little more, but after thinking about it, instead of having conflicts with the old man over such a small amount of money, it is better to handle the relationship with him properly.Maybe I can have something to rely on in the future.

At that moment, Ai Luo nodded and said: "Yes, let's make a deal! Then, Mr. Histan, since we have signed a verbal entrustment contract, then just to be on the safe side, I still hope that you can sign on my entrustment contract. How about making our commission formally established?"

With that said, Ai Luo turned around and took out a commission contract and a pen from his pocket, and after drafting the commission content, handed it to Ruiying with a smile on his face.I'm afraid the old man really didn't expect that under such circumstances, the chairman would actually come up with a contract for himself to sign?He was a little surprised, but also a little curious as he looked at the short president in front of him who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. He couldn't help but chuckle, and after looking at the contract, he signed his name on it.

"Then now, our contract is formally established!"

Ai Luo put away the entrustment contract, with a smile on his face.

While eating the food, he began to keep looking at the old man in front of him.This kind of look made Rui Ying feel a little uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "Son, what else do you want?"

Ai Luo smiled and said: "Mr. Histan, there is actually something that I have been curious about since I took over this commission. It is precisely because of these questions in my heart that I would like to ask you a few questions , I wonder if you would like to answer?"

Rui Ying stroked his beard, thought for a while and said, "If it's not too much of a question, I can answer it for you."

"That's really great! Alas, this kind of thing has really made me worry for several days!"

Airl calmed down a little, and said with a smile——

"Excuse me, what did you come to Tianhe City for?"

The question that was asked immediately made the old man Rui Ying look a little hesitant.After a moment of silence, the old man finally decided to shake his head: "Well...I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't tell you."

The first question was rejected, which made the confident smile on Airl's face dimmed a bit.But he quickly cheered up and asked the second question——

"How did you get into this underground system? With your identity, you probably wouldn't drill into those sewers, right?"

Rui Ying nodded lightly, and said with a smile: "I came down from the entrance and exit of the sightseeing area. It's just that it's been tightly blocked now, and I really have no way to break through the siege of those monsters and loss by myself."

Airl: "Then the third question, did you come here voluntarily, or were you coerced?"

Rui Ying laughed loudly: "Coercion me? According to my opinion, do you think anyone in Tianhe City has the ability to coerce me?"

Airl nodded: "That's it too, so the last question, when did you come here?"

Rui Ying thought for a while: "About... ten days ago. During this time, my entourage died accidentally, and I could only hide between these staff dormitories and waterfalls. At my age, I I never thought that I would still be able to have an 'adventure' day. Hehe, it is really exciting to think about it during this time."

Hearing this, Airl sorted out the thoughts in his head, nodded lightly, and said with a smile: "It sounds like there is no problem, so please rest here tonight. Those corpse eaters are very concerned about the sound. Very sensitive, but seems to be a little weak to light. In order to avoid unnecessary complications, we will stay here for one night and leave until tomorrow."

The following paragraphs are not only for Rui Ying, but also for everyone present.

Now that the leader, Airl, has spoken, the others will naturally have no opinion.

At the moment, after discussing the time for standing guard with his family members and two retired soldiers, Ai Luo also began to settle down.

----

At night, the air seemed so quiet.

This small lounge is really not comfortable, but it is already a luxury to be able to rest for a night at this time.

Before falling asleep, Airl looked over at Brad and Dacron who were standing guard and chatting with each other. Seeing that the two spoke in harmony, he naturally closed his eyes in relief.

Too many things entrusted this time are really unclear, especially the earl's purpose, which is not very clear yet.

However, a very ominous premonition still vaguely emerged in Airl's mind.But this kind of thinking is so terrible that even Airl wants to stop himself from thinking about it.

(The more you refuse to admit it, the more it is an irrefutable truth? My poor child~~~)

Suddenly!Airl opened his eyes and sat up in the sleeping bag!

But as far as I could see, everything in front of my eyes started to look a little confused?Brad and Dacron, who were chatting over there, seemed to be completely unaware of the sudden move by their president, and they were still chatting happily.Gradually, their figures began to be shrouded in a thin layer of thick black fog!

No, not just those two people, but this lounge where Airl is now!An existence that made it almost difficult for him to breathe had enveloped the space, no matter how much he opened his mouth, what came into his mouth was some salty taste, but he couldn't even take a breath of air into his stomach.

(Look, these poor products that have lost my favor~~So many troubles, so many fears~~)

(It would be great if I could no longer be afraid of anything, no longer worry about anything? My poor child~~~)

At that moment, Airl felt something staring at him in the lounge space!It was an indescribable... extremely huge, extremely terrifying thing!

In the darkness, a huge pupil that can almost occupy the entire lounge is staring at Airl just like that!This kind of sight made him unable to move, and he even felt that his spirit was rapidly collapsing when he was stared at by this kind of sight!As long as he can avoid such terrifying eyes, he even begins to feel that he can do anything, and he can pay any price!

----

"Brother President? Brother President!"

But at this moment, a very small voice came from the dark space.In an instant, Ai Luo's eyes opened again, only to see that Ke Ke was squatting next to her now, covering Ai Luo's mouth with her little hand to prevent him from making a sound.

When he saw clearly that it was Coco, Airl finally regained his composure.He began to breathe violently, and he could even feel his heart beating violently at a galloping speed.

Soon, the large swaths of cold sweat made him feel the cold, sticky, and indescribably uncomfortable back.

But Coco doesn't seem to want it to end there.She put her fingers up against her lips, and at the same time looked towards the entrance of the lounge.

At this time, Buffy was stationed at the door of the lounge, and behind her stood Brad, who seemed to have just woken up and looked a little sleepy.The flower fairy pressed her ears tightly against the door, trying to listen to the sounds outside.

It was at this moment that Arrow also heard the sound outside.

It was the sound of footsteps...

There was a sound of footsteps that were obviously lightened!

And these footsteps are clearly coming towards the lounge!

When the situation changed, Airl hurriedly made a gesture, indicating to Ke Ke to wake up all the combatants.

When Coco went to wake up Cream, Whiskey and Dacron, Arrow also got out of the sleeping bag.The moment he came out, he clearly felt the eerie feeling on his back.

The sound of footsteps outside is still coming here...

Pat - clack - clack -

Although slow, although the pace is controlled very lightly, I can still feel that terrible sense of oppression!

Finally, when the footsteps reached the door of the lounge...the footsteps disappeared!

Hearing this, Buffy became flustered, and she quickly turned to Airl for instructions.After all, there is only a gap between the doors now, and I don't know what kind of terrifying thing is standing outside!

Could it be... the Corpse Eater King?

Thinking of the monster with powerful brute force and hunting instinct, Airl couldn't help but gasp!

According to common sense, with his current team of Mermaid Song, he might have to fight this Corpse Eater King, but it is really too difficult to ensure that he will not be injured at all during the entire battle!Especially for the civilians lying here, if the Corpse Eater King really rushed in, then this place would instantly become a purgatory on earth!

All the fighters woke up.

Everyone also noticed the voice outside the door.

Quiet……

It was as quiet as death, and the only thing that filled it was the uncontrollable beating of so many people's hearts.

In this silence, the sound of this heartbeat is so obvious, so piercing...

Pat - clack - clack -

Outside the door, footsteps started to sound again.

Although it was very slow, it could be heard that the voice was gradually moving away from the crowd, heading towards the other direction of the passage.

Chapter 270 The Third Chase Behind

Hearing this voice, I believe everyone will involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief.

Even Airl involuntarily let go of the hand that he had been holding tightly all along, and the expression that was always tense also relaxed at this moment...

bump--!

Loud noise, accompanied by the explosion of the wall.

Before the huge stone had time to bounce off completely, in the darkness, a huge claw came in through the cracked wall, and swept!

Two civilians who fell asleep against the wall didn't even wake up in time, their faces were sliced ​​into pieces by the sharp claws.As the blood erupted into thick fog in the darkness, the huge claw was quickly retracted, and a huge figure was constantly impacting on the hole at this moment!
