Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

At this moment, Chen Ye's figure has arrived in the underground world, passing through the dark cave and reaching the wider road.

"The underground world seems to be getting more lively today!"

Chen Ye looked around and found that the ordinary areas of the underground world were obviously more lively than before.

In addition to the dead silence of the lightless land, with his keen hearing, he was able to capture rustling sounds from every corner of the underground world, coming from all directions.

These sounds include many footsteps, snoring sounds, and ethereal and ethereal sounds of curses.

There were obviously more electric lights nearby than before, and there was a faint blue light everywhere.

This made Chen Ye feel a little difficult to move through this place.

After all, he needs to use the shadow to activate [Lightless Stalker], making it easier to move.

But now...these troublesome lightstones have obviously restricted his space for movement.

"Speed ​​up the pace!"

"Patrol all around!"

"There are only a few days left until the day of the transaction. Everyone, hurry up and check whether there are any accidents in some underground worlds."

"As long as the demining is successful, based on the merit points, valuable materials can be exchanged from that adult's hands."

"At that time...if you can obtain greater merit, the gift from that Lord will enable you to have the power of three or even four revolutions!"

From deep inside, there was a shouting sound.

Chen Ye frowned, lurked away quietly, and found a row of thugs standing there.

It was as if he was following some kind of training.

The thugs looked a little tired, and some were still yawning. It was obvious that they had heard such lectures countless times and were already tired and tired. Even if they might be lectured by their superiors, it seemed that no matter whether they did a good job or not, they were tired. Whether you are serious or not, lectures are essential, and your attitude seems very depressed.

Chen Ye's mind moved and he realized that these thugs probably knew where the gathering place was.

"Okay, let's split up from now on and meet here on time at one o'clock in the afternoon."

The leader, who was wearing leather armor, said something coldly, waved his hand impatiently, and let the group of subordinates disperse as if to shoo away flies.

"yes!"

The group of thugs responded lazily, and then immediately dispersed, leaving the scene like a mess of sand.

Chen Ye observed the professions on the heads of these thugs. Most of them were first-level professions such as [Glutton] and [Dark Chef], and the highest was only half-step to second-level professions.

Obviously, they perform patrol tasks and are not powerful characters. Their responsibilities are not particularly strict. They are a bit like members hired temporarily.

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes and realized that this might be an opportunity for him.

When these members dispersed one by one, he observed the halos on the heads of these thugs with the eyes of luck.

in……

A member of the mob with a bloody halo around his head quietly walked into a dark cave.

"Hey, it seems that the donor must be in a bloody disaster today, so let me help you."

Chen Ye sighed and suddenly felt that he was simply a good person!

If the other party is allowed to bear this fate of blood and light with a normal fate trajectory, then I am afraid that it will enter a dark and lightless place, and then its life will be quietly swallowed up.

But if I were to help him overcome the calamity...

So, the price is just a small performance fee, temporary loss of self-awareness, and provision of memories...

…………

Half an hour later.

Beside the dark cave rock, the mob member closed his eyes tightly, lay on the surface of a smooth stone, and fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, Chen Ye used the soul crossing sound to influence this guy's consciousness and got the information he needed to know.

"It turns out that the members of this group of thugs are generally concentrated in the northwest, the Thorny Dark Garden, about two kilometers away from here."

"That black real estate that seemed to be developed from some lightless land turned out to be a residential area!"

"Most of the indigenous people who live in the underground world all year round are said to live in this dark garden of thorns."

"At the same time, it is also where the mob members usually live. If there are some important meetings, they will be negotiated in a relatively high-end mansion."

"It seems... if you want to get more information about the mob, you must go to the Dark Garden of Thorns."

Thinking of this, Chen Ye's figure melted into the dark cave like water, hiding in the vast night...

…………

At this moment, at the entrance to the lightless land of the Dark Garden of Thorns...

Several electric lamps embedded in the cave walls emitted dim candlelight, illuminating everything around them.

Two thugs wearing brown leather armor and dark brown saddles, with a meter-long scimitar tied to their waists, stood on both sides with solemn expressions.

at this time……

A burst of suona sound suddenly sounded from the darkness, like resentment, admiration, and weeping.

Above the niche, the electric lightstone emitting a faint blue light suddenly flickered a few times, briefly falling into darkness...

The expressions of the thugs were obviously dull for a moment.

Then, a shadow instantly passed by the side of the thug, only staying briefly for less than a second, and then the figure quickly disappeared.

Tsk!

Tsk!

The electric lightstone made a grinding sound as if it was malfunctioning. Then, the light gradually recovered and enveloped the thug's face again.

But at this time, the thug's expression gradually returned to its previous serious look from the brief daze.

They touched the back of their heads and felt as if they had fainted just now. They wondered if it was an illusion.

A moment later...the thugs gradually recovered from their coma and continued to stand where they were, as if nothing had happened.

…………

Chen Ye's figure emerged from the desolate night.

With the light of the pale will-o'-the-wisp, he saw the flowerbed under his feet, and the path of steel thorns extending all the way...

This road is full of steel thorns and cluttered, as if this is a dead place belonging to a monster garden.

Chen Ye controlled the will-o'-the-wisp and gradually escaped into the distance.

In the distance, the low buildings gradually outline their specific shapes under the illumination of will-o'-the-wisps.

Those buildings are all made of ancient rocks, with dark-colored vines covering the surface and a lot of mold covering the surface.

These molds seem to be alive, and they can even squirm in the dark.

At this moment, Chen Ye's eyes were focused on these buildings, and under the exploration of the halo of luck, he was looking for the path he wanted to go.

The inky mist continued to spread along the path of the thorn garden.

It seems to indicate that there is some kind of danger hidden ahead.

Among the scattered buildings like heads of people, a torrent of blood could still be seen vaguely, spreading darkly and getting more intense.

Based on his memory, Chen Ye found the three-story independent building.

"Is this where the thugs live..."

At this moment, you can see scattered figures scattered inside this house.

However... there is no particularly strong sign of luck here, instead there is a faint black and yellow color.

In the lightless land, Chen Ye can lurk in the shadows anytime and anywhere without being discovered by others.

But in order to prevent there may be some characteristics inside, which may sense its own arrival and sound the alarm...

Therefore, Chen Ye still chose to summon things from the spiritual world and resonate with his vision to obtain the information inside.

He arranged a stream of consciousness and waited for the dark patterns on the ground to explode into a burst of light.

Several rat-shaped creatures bound through the [Devil Contract] that day suddenly emerged from the gray mist and appeared in front of Chen Ye.

Among them... one mouse even merged with the will-o'-the-wisp, turning into a pale flame that spread everywhere.

Through the vision of spiritual resonance…

Chen Ye immediately entered the apartment on the third floor of the building...

At this moment, he saw rows of horizontal beds, with thugs lying on them one by one taking a rest. There were messy garbage, waste, and even foul-smelling excrement all over the floor. The ground is dirty and messy.

There were constant faint snores coming from all corners of the bed.

According to the rules of action for hired members of the mob, the employees who were resting in the apartment should be preparing to rotate into the night shift.

Originally, at this point in time, they should have had a good rest and then come back to work after adequate rest.

But for some reason, there is such a thing as a training camp.

A violent and impatient roar sounded from the door:

"Everyone, get up!"

"Arrange into a square formation and conduct patrol training!"

"You bunch of bastards! Look in the mirror! Look at your current order. What does it look like?"

"If any problems occur that day, according to the contract, not only will all of your wages be confiscated, but you will also have to pay liquidated damages!"

"Get up! Get up! Get up!"

Chen Ye looked inside and found that it was a fierce-looking manager wearing a red work badge.

His mind moved, and he said secretly: "According to the memory of the thug member, the management seems to know the time of the gathering, and generally has the strength of about half a step and three turns."

In the past, these members were strong enough to serve as team leaders stationed at the entrance, but now, they have been reduced to middle management.

But even so, some professions should not be underestimated.

With a thought, Chen Ye activated his talent [Research on Scarlet Letters] and confirmed that the manager in front of him was a [Thriller Scarecrow] whose occupation was half-step three-turn.

With the help of the pale flame, Chen Ye could see clearly that under the red employee uniform of the manager, the skinny body looked like it was made of straw. The skin color on the surface was completely inconsistent with that of a normal person, and it was burnt yellow. , with a bit of weird darkness, looking directly at it, Mo Ming gives people a sense of horror.

Chen Ye's mind moved, thinking about his identity as a [Devil Executioner].

And the parts on this scarecrow can be said to be the best raw materials to make up the [Horror Sculpture]!

He looked up and found that there happened to be another bloody disaster on the scarecrow's head...

Chen Ye couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said with compassion:

"It seems that this benefactor is also suffering from some bad luck and needs me to help him overcome his calamity..."

…………

The training sessions for hired members of the thugs are actually not very nutritious.

It turned out to be physical training such as running, standing at attention, and long jump.

Chen Ye was a little speechless. We have already arrived in the world of the strange era. Is there any point in practicing the training of normal people together?

After thinking for a long time, he could only guess that maybe the leader ordered that the subordinates had to show off, so these poor mercenaries could only spend meaningless time and become victims of formal rules.

As for the scarecrow... As a manager, have you ever seen managers and subordinates go to training camps together?

Taking advantage of the time when these thugs ran away, Chen Ye's figure immediately lurked next to the scarecrow.

The Scarecrow became nervous and felt that there was some danger around him...

A strange suona sound sounded...

…………

ten minutes later.

The Scarecrow opened his eyes again, and suddenly felt as if he had fainted just now.

And...it seems that some key organs are missing from the body?

But without these organs, how could he still be able to move well?

Wait...what happened just now?

The Scarecrow suddenly felt as if his mind was a little unclear, as if he was in chaos, with all kinds of questions lingering in his mind, but he couldn't get a reasonable explanation, and it was difficult to find the correct answer...

Simply, he gave up his mind and thinking, and this chaotic feeling was finally calmed down.

…………

"Got it."

Chen Ye opened his eyes, and in his mind, all the details of the conversation between the scarecrow and the black shadow emerged.

The transaction time will be approximately seven days later.

At that time, all the mob players will receive the text message, and at the moment of the transaction, they will immediately form a square formation to protect the left and right.

We have to wait for the notification from the bloody mobile phone for the specific time...

For this reason, Chen Ye quietly used the [Devil Contract] to secretly control one of the mercenaries. As long as there was a message from the bloody mobile phone, he would immediately notify him.

This group of mercenaries is very weak. With Chen Ye's strength, he can easily control them and force them to sign the [Devil Contract].

Of course, in order to avoid the rule of equivalence being broken, Chen Ye was particularly "generous" in paying a copper coin as the cost of employment.

In this way, no one owes anything to each other...

After doing all this, Chen Ye thought for a while, then controlled the bloody phone with his mind and sent a message to Chen Xi:

[Chen Ye: "The transaction location is at the entrance of Longhua Avenue. On the southwest side, there is a lightless place about one kilometer away. It is called 'Stone Cave Square'. There are about a thousand thugs and mercenaries arranged in a square formation. Escort the traded goods.\
