Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

"Giant" Simon was speechless for a moment. After a few seconds, he said: "Are you crazy? At most, you will not pass. You just lost an opportunity."

"Mouse" Christo then said: "If the mission is important, the boss will definitely go there himself and will not send us. If it is not important, then the risk will not be high."

This idea is similar to Lumian’s original idea.

Lumian glanced at the entrance to the underground Trier not far away, and smiled deliberately: "Maybe our role is as bait. For example, the boss suspected that there was a force secretly monitoring us, and specially designed such a mission. If everything goes well, If there is no abnormality, then cancel the alarm and treat it as a test. But if something is really caught, he can follow this line to find out the truth and eliminate the hidden danger. As for whether our bait will be eaten by the fish Lost? It’s not a matter of concern to him. As long as Zuizhang can achieve his intended purpose and lose a few low-sequence Beyonders, he can still bear it.”

"Mouse" Christo's face turned a little pale after these words, and "Giant" Simon fell silent.

Although they don't have much experience in the world of occultism, they have been involved in gangs for many years and have been the leader for a long time. They still have the most basic analytical skills. They have to admit that Charles's speculation has some truth, which makes them unable to He couldn't help but worry about his own life, especially "Rat" Chris. His mind was filled with the image of his brother Elken before his death and the painful expressions of his wife and children. If the boss hadn't arranged something extra for him at that time, thing, if he had not participated in that smuggling activity, he would have definitely been replaced by the so-called "man in the mirror" and died miserably in a corner underground, and his wife, his dog pack, and other animals he raised would all be cheaper. The "man in the mirror".

After thinking about this for a while, the three of them lit up their carbide lamps and walked down the steel stairs silently into the ground.

"Mouse" Christo looked around the dark tunnel with the help of the yellowish light that was dyed with a little blue, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "The boss will not deliberately let us die. Although we are only low-sequence extraordinary However, it is useless. If he dies underground, the boss may have to spend half a year or even a year to train someone new to replace us."

He was thinking of the "Man in the Mirror" incident, when the boss asked him to do other things, obviously to trust him without leaking the secret.

Everything has a price, and maybe the stakes to be exchanged this time were more important than the three of us combined.

Lumian was holding a carbide lamp that emitted a yellowish light, and walked slowly and slowly in the dark and damp passage. He sneered, "I also hope that this mission will be like the boss said. It's not too big." It’s dangerous, but you can’t be naive, you have to prevent the worst.”

"Mouse" Christo, who had noticed that Ciel had been greatly improved, couldn't help but asked: "What should we do?"

In his opinion, Ciel is the most reliable person in this mission and the life-saving straw at critical moments.

Hearing this question, "Giant" Simon turned his head and looked at Christo in surprise. When did this "mouse" Christo become so timid? He was also the leader of the boss's subordinates. Why did he choose to fight in Xia? If he shows his weakness and worry in front of you, what about his pride and self-esteem? Isn't he afraid that Charles will suppress him from now on and erode his smuggling business?

Lumian wanted this kind of effect, and said sincerely: "The boss has helped me several times, and I am willing to complete the task for him, but the premise is that the risk of that task is not particularly high and will not leave us with only death. This option , Damn, I haven’t lived enough yet, so my attitude is to complete the task when I can. If I can’t complete it, I will give up without hesitation to ensure that I can still survive, and this may require the three of us to give up. Be alert to each other and cooperate fully to deal with potential dangers."

This attitude touched the hearts of "Mouse" Christo and "Giant" Simon, making them nod either obviously or subtly. No one is selfish and will take certain risks for the boss. They are already loyal enough. Performance, and accepting this attitude, Zhencheng's cooperation to fight against danger seems to be the only option, at least on the surface.

"How can we work together?"

"Mouse" Christo quickly made up his mind that he would not want another "Man in the Mirror" incident.

Lumian smiled and said: "First of all, we have to understand each other's abilities so that we can cooperate better."

"Mouse" Christo hesitated for two seconds and said: "I am a beast tamer, Sequence 8 of the 'Medicine' pathway. I can fight many beasts head-on, and I can also communicate and communicate with them to a certain extent, and gradually tame them. , let them become my assistants, I can also help people see doctors, provide treatment, and all kinds of things."

Having said this, he couldn't help but glance at Ciel, as if he wanted to ask him if he needed to improve his ability in that area and replenish the medicine consumed by his body. He heard that Ciel was a very lustful young man, not only with the "Red Boots" The mistress, Jenna, had a passionate affair and had an affair with nearly ten dancers. She arranged for them to go to the old Pigeon Cage Theater to learn how to perform and make money so that they no longer had to accompany the guests.

The "Pharmacist" had known that "Mouse" Christo was the "Pharmacist" and should have found him at that time and poured a few bottles of medicine into Jian Na's mother. In that case, Jian Na's mother should have recovered and returned home that night. .

Lumian sighed silently, and nodded slightly under the light of the carbide lamp.

"Giant" Simon became more and more surprised and astonished the more he listened. He suspected that "Mouse" Christo was crazy and actually told the secret of his sequence. You know, before that, except for the boss Gardner Martin, no one else Who knows the serial number of "Mouse" Christo? Where to find a way? After all, there are not a few people in Trier who like to keep pets, and there are also a lot of people who keep pets. You can even see people using pets as lovers occasionally in newspapers.

In an instant, "Giant" Simon thought of a possibility. "Mouse" Christo was in charge of the smuggling business and was the leader who completed the most secret tasks of the boss. He might know something and was pessimistic about this operation, so he approved it. Ciel's words, choose sincere cooperation.

"Mouse" Christo sighed and continued: "I'm unlucky. I haven't tamed a real extraordinary creature until now. Otherwise, even if I meet a mid-sequence Beyonder, I won't be incapable of fighting them. , this mission is very urgent, and there is no time for us to prepare. I only bring a few partners with me, damn, are you afraid that we will die fast enough?"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and a snake-like creature with a triangular head and many colors popped out of his sleeve. Then, "Mouse" Christo made the snake come back. He reached into his sleeves, put his hand into his pocket, and pulled out a palm-sized mouse. The mouse was different from the common ones. The hair was light white, with clear roots, and a pair of eyes as bright as rubies.

"It's called Taffy. It's a special creature discovered underground when I was doing smuggling business. It can't be used as the main ingredient for any kind of potion, but it can sense hidden dangers." "Rat" Chris Let me start with a simple introduction.

"It can also sense the approximate strength of other people."

Lumian asked thoughtfully.

"Mouse" Christo looked at Lumian in astonishment, hesitated for two seconds and said, "Yes."

Seeing that this "mouse" had revealed enough information, although Lumian suspected that he had other abilities or other pets, he did not ask any more and turned his attention to "Giant" Simon.

"Giant" Simon hesitated for a moment, then remembered the guess he just made, and said angrily: "I am a 'Warrior' Path Sequence 8 'Fighter', just like 'Iron Hammer' Aite, I am good at head-on combat and proficient in various fighting techniques. I have a gun on me, as well as a dagger, a spur and boxing gloves."

He said it simply. After all, "fighters" have no special abilities and no magical items. Also, it is indeed difficult for gangsters trained by such a secret organization to obtain magical items.

Lumian chuckled: "You are better than Hammer Aite because you have a brain and can understand the situation."

These words made "Giant" Simon not know whether he should be angry or proud. Holding the carbide lamp, he looked at Lumian and said, "What about you, which path is a Sequence 8 hunter?"

Since they had to work together, Ciel couldn't hide it. Lumian smiled, raised his right hand and placed it flat in front of him. Silently, a red flame emerged from his palm, Hovering in mid-air, burning quietly.

"You are an arsonist." "Giant" Simon blurted out in shock.

In various occult circles in Trier, one of the most indispensable things is the low-sequence situations in the "Hunter" path, especially those below Sequence 6.

Lumian did not respond, instead answering with a smile.

"Giant" Simon suddenly understood why "Mouse" Christo's attitude towards Ciel had changed so much and why he showed a posture of asking for help. Sequence 7 is the starting point of the mid-sequence. Compared with their low-sequence For the extraordinary people, there has been a qualitative change, and the strength has become many times stronger.

After retracting his gaze from "Mouse" Christo's pocket, "Giant" Simon asked Lumian in shock and suspicion: "Does the boss know that you were promoted to Sequence 7?"

"The boss helped me find auxiliary materials." Lumian answered truthfully, and let the red flame in his palm dissipate in the yellowish light.

Now, "Giant" Simon's childishness has been enlarged.

Lumian looked around and continued: "So, if the task can be completed, I will definitely work hard to complete the task."

After saying that, he took out an iron-colored medicine bottle as he moved forward, threw it to the "Giant" Simon on the side and said: "This is the 'Scorpion Venom' I got from Iron Hammer Aite, you can give it to Apply a little more to your weapons to increase your strength, which also increases our chances of survival."

"Giant" Simon caught the potion bottle and was a little stunned for a moment. Although this guy Ciel was annoying and could not deal with him, no matter in terms of knowledge, mental strength or work style, people felt that he could be relied on. , obey and follow unconsciously.

Lumian, who was walking ahead without looking back, quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He just exaggerated the risks and created fear just to suppress the spirits of "Mouse" Christo and "Giant" Simon and make them fall into a worried mood. Then he will show his strength, give convincing opinions and a little favor, and establish himself as the leader of this team. Only in this way can he give full play to the team's strength and fight against possible threats without exposing his trump card. Danger.
