Tokyo underground city

Chapter 130 Civilized people go to the wilderness

Lin Huaien opened the message and looked at it.

Senyan's message had no substantive content. She just invited him to come out and get together, saying that she had something to talk to him about.

Lin Huai'en looked at his and Sen Yan's schedule and set the time for the weekend, that is, tomorrow.

The location was set at a bar near Lin Huai'en's home.

Sen Yan chose the place. Lin Huai'en searched for a long time before finding this small bar at the end of the commercial street.

The bar is not big, with only two or three tables. There is only one bartender behind the bar and there are not many customers. The atmosphere is very quiet and suitable for chatting.

However, the price per customer is also very high. Based on Lin Huai'en's own consumption habits, he would definitely not choose this place.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

In the bar, Senyan was already waiting there.

Excluding the reunion in "Silver Queen", Lin Huai'en had not seen her for almost two months after they said goodbye in Chang Ying.

"Long time no see." There were some changes in her body.

Lin Huai'en couldn't explain what this change was, but he always felt that she was much more melancholy than before.

However, Lin Huaien could also feel that she at least tried to cheer up.

She permed her hair and changed her perfume. She wore a relatively open two-piece outfit that exposed her shoulders and waist. She used a plaid skirt as an embellishment. She looked much younger.

Lin Huaien sat down next to her.

"Want something to drink?" Sen Yan looked at the bartender and asked for him.

"Well...just a little sake will be fine. The alcohol content should be lower. I'm not a good drinker."

Lin Huai'en hesitated for a moment, saw the bottle of Dajinnong at the bottom of the wine cabinet, and said.

"Um, I'm sorry..." After hearing Lin Huai'en's order, the bartender hesitated: "Our store does not sell Japanese sake. This bottle of Daijinjo is drunk by our boss himself."

"Ah..." Lin Huaien suddenly felt embarrassed. He coughed, "Then you can make me a cocktail that won't make me drunk easily."

When Lin Huai'en saw the bartender nodding, he turned his attention to Sen Yan.

"So, Captain Mori, what do you want from me?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to thank you for saving me."

Sen Yan hesitated and replied.

"I just did what I had to do."

Lin Huai'en shook his head. Although he didn't like to take credit, judging from the aftermath, his existence did play a big role.

At least, without him, the frontline rescue team might have to spend half a day with the "Silver Queen".

By then, it will be unclear whether the members of the Trail Blazers will be able to escape unscathed.

And if time drags on for too long, the "Silver Queen" and her descendants are likely to evolve again.

At that time, the police officers of the rescue team may have to face not only the soul-capturing ants, but also the "soul-fallers" who regard Officer Shao and the others as their ancestral species.

Those truly spiritual "subordinates".

Thinking of this, Lin Huaien couldn't help but think of the deceased Casio.

He sighed: "I'm sorry about Casio... I teamed up with him in the dungeon before, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't have the chance to see him for a second time."

When Lin Huai'en mentioned Casio, Sen Yan suddenly felt a little disappointed: "I can't blame you..."

"When "Silver Queen" destroyed Cassio's pass, I was in her body. If I could try to resist her like you did when you called me, Cassio might not die - maybe it's really like As Neil said, I killed him.”

Hearing this, Lin Huaien was suddenly confused: "Why did the Silver Queen destroy Casio's pass? She and Casio shouldn't have any grudges, right?"

"She just wanted to try whether she could destroy the explorer's pass after becoming a "deviant". She succeeded with Casio's gray card, but failed with Prumius's red card."

Senyan replied in a daze.

Hearing Senyan's description, Lin Huai'en couldn't help but sigh:

"...Extremely twisted desire for control? I can't blame you for this. If such things can be blamed on you, then each of us is more or less the executioner of others."

"Why do you say that?" Sen Yan looked a little confused.

"'Hell is other people'... Sartre's famous saying..."

Just then the bartender brought the wine, and Lin Huai'en tried to take a sip. It was a very light white wine, very similar to sake, but with a faint sweetness.

Can this still be done...

Lin Huai'en glanced at the bartender and secretly gave him a thumbs up.

The bartender blinked while wiping the mixing glass, looking a little pleased with himself.

However, he did not participate in the conversation between Sen Yan and Lin Huai'en.

Just as Lin Huai'en and the bartender were flirting with each other, Senyan lowered her head, took a sip of her whiskey, and seemed to have figured it out: "Indeed, if we always put the blame on ourselves, we can't move forward... maybe we care too much. Their gaze is itself a mistake.”

"...I really still want to be myself."

Senyan nodded, as if she had made up her mind:

"Lin, I plan to sell the house."

"That's good, debt-free and light-hearted..." Lin Huai'en replied somewhat casually.

However, he soon froze: "Wait, what did you say?! What did you sell?!"

"My house, the property I told you before, was mortgaged twice."

Sen Yan replied calmly, with a very calm expression on her face: "I have calculated that if I sell the property, I can just pay off all the loans, and there will be more than one million left, which I plan to use as a start-up Funds, register an adventure company with me as the legal person."

"When the time comes, Aizen and Cicero will become my team members."

At this point, Sen Yan paused: "So, Lin, I would like to invite you to join my team."

Lin Huaien was silent.

He didn't look at Sen Yan's expression and took a sip from his cup.

To be honest, he had just established his goal.

Mainly two things.

The first is to find out the truth about the underground city and confirm the threat of the underground city. If the underground city is really harmful to civilization on the ground, then investigate clearly and find enough evidence. Then, through Officer Shao and others, report it to the government to prevent the ground world from ending up like the Salt 10 shelter.

The second is to try to earn money and reputation while exploring the dungeon.

There are still some things between him and Xu Qin that require these things.

He looked at the palm of his hand, took a deep breath, and turned to look at Senyan.

Lin Huai'en said apologetically: "Sorry, I still want to explore alone."

Senyan looked at him quietly for a long time without speaking.

"Can I ask you what the reason is?" After a long time, she finally said.

"I want to go to the 75th floor."

Lin Huai'en told half of the truth: "A guard told me that the 75th floor of the dungeon may contain the truth related to the dungeon."

"There, no matter what kind of wish you have, you can realize it, even if you want the world to be peaceful and without war, to make yourself immortal and enjoy endless glory and wealth - even if you add up all these wishes, they can be realized at the same time. "

Having said this, Lin Huaien looked at Sen Yan's slightly strange eyes and paused:

"I don't believe there is such a good thing in the world."

"And the guardian who told me this doesn't believe there is such a good thing in the world."

"But... it told me that in their world, there really is an existence named Telaris, who came to the world where it is from the 75th underground floor, and told it that there is something about it on the 75th underground floor. The Secret of the Underground Truth.”

"This truth is so evil. It was in order to resist this truth that she left there and came to their world."

"And if you want to stop this truth and stop the dungeon from continuously destroying various worlds, you must go to the 75th floor——"

"Only to end all this!"

.

Looking at Sen Yan's back, Lin Huai'en didn't know how much she believed.

But for most adults, "the Holy Grail that can grant all wishes" and "Pandora's Box that can destroy everything" are just like "Santa Claus", they are fairy tales that only children can believe in.

So Lin Huai'en didn't expect her to understand.

Or fundamentally speaking, his and Sen Yan's purposes are completely different.

Senyan values ​​the entire team more. She wants everyone in the team to get the pay and life they want.

She may stay on the 35th floor and become an excellent blue card explorer.

Perhaps not just herself, but with her excellent personal abilities, as well as the help of Aizen and Cicero (Team Neil's team leader), the expedition company she founded will definitely become a quite famous one. Ace team.

But it is impossible for her to go deeper underground and reach the bottom of the 75th floor of the abyss.

Even Lin Huai'en himself never thought that he could reach the bottom of the 75th floor of the abyss.

He just wanted to try——

Try how deep into the world you can go.

"In this world, my only concern is my senior sister."

Lin Huai'en stretched out his hands and looked at the moon in the sky:

"If even my senior sister can't help me..."

"Then I will go to the bottom of the abyss and see what is there!"

【The end of the first volume! 】

[After the start of the second volume, the progress may be much slower, but the general plot concept has been completed. 】

[In the next three volumes, a teammate and heroine will appear in each volume. 】

[Then let the protagonist show off happily! (bushi)

.

[Finally, let’s talk about the title of this chapter, ‘Civilized Man Goes to the Wilderness’]

[Senyan sold her house and chose to go to the underground city. This is an image I have wanted to write for a long time. 】

[As for Lin Huaien, the whole first volume appears as a "lonely". 】

[The two of them are actually two sides of the same coin. Lin Huai'en's motives are more complicated, and there are still many entanglements with Xu Qin, but they will not affect reading in the future. 】

[As for Xu Qin, when reading, you don’t need to pay too much attention to it. It is related to the motivation of the protagonist and the future direction of the story, but at least in a short period of time, it has nothing to do with the current story. 】

[Just think of it as the protagonist’s teleprompter. In common architectural terms, it’s a ‘limiter’. 】

[The greater the limit, the greater the hang-up. 】

[This is the reason why Senyan can fall in love with the protagonist without any scruples without worrying about the emotional line ruining the main plot. 】

[In the next few volumes, the real heroines will appear one by one. 】

[The emotional lines of the heroines will be more streamlined, and Senyan, as an important supporting role, will continue to appear, but since they are not teammates, they will have the opportunity to meet each other in each volume...]

[emmmm, the miserable child. 】

【I like bitter children. 】

.

[There may not necessarily be an update in the morning, please consider the plot. 】
