"Of course, all of this is just passed down by word of mouth. At least even I have never seen a dangerous seal of this level."

"Besides that, the levels below 0 are 1, 2, and 3."

"The secretions marked with the number 3 are the least dangerous."

"But even the weakest seal has a meaning and crisis that cannot be underestimated."

Manhattan openly told the two of them the valuable knowledge about the Sealed Objects.

He even picked up the ring in his hand as an example.

He also pointed out that the number on the front of his ring was 2, which was the real reason why he looked down on or despised it.

"Sir, who completes the digital identification of each sealed object?"

"Also, do all people in this world recognize the number on the front of the seal?"

"Hasn't there ever been an incident where the label was mislabeled?"

Miss Xiu at the side kept asking questions as if she had a hundred thousand questions.

“From what I’ve heard, every object has a very long story behind it.”

"And their existence once brought great crisis to the world."

"So the seven major churches, under the guidance of the gods they believed in, joined hands and successfully marked all the sealed objects in the form of numbers."

As Manhattan spoke, he motioned Chu Yang to take the guy who was already limp on the ground. The group quickly crossed the streets and alleys and finally came to a place covered by shadows.

Manhattan lifted the manhole cover on the ground with ease, and what appeared was a special hole made entirely of pitch black.

Chu Yang was full of vigilance. Looking at the pit in front of him, he naturally would not jump into it easily.

"Don't worry, this is one of the safe houses I specially prepared here."

"Unless there is a problem with me, there is no way there will be a problem with the safe house."

After saying that, Manhattan jumped down first.

Chu Yang also heard faint footsteps and the sound of hitting the ground from the pit below.

So he immediately jumped down with Miss Xiu.

After everyone jumped down, they found that the height of the ground from the pit was less than three meters.

As soon as Chu Yang and his companion entered, Manhattan immediately used the mechanism inside to replace the manhole cover on top of the pit.

He lit a candle nearby.

Chu Yang looked up and saw a passage right in front of him.

At the end of the passage is another door, and everything behind the door seems unknown.

"Behind that door is a truly extensive underground passageway that connects the city in all directions."

"If I go in there and run around without any preparation, even I won't be able to find a successful route back here."

Manhattan emphasized this sentence.

"But we can just find a manhole cover and jump onto the ground."

Miss Hugh couldn't help but mutter.

Even Chu Yang beside him chuckled. This was one of the ways to crack the underground maze.

"You think too simply. You never know where you will be after opening the manhole cover."

"This city has developed over hundreds of years. It is no longer the barren place you imagined."

“Many of the passages here were even dug by other countries before.”

"Their history is definitely longer than the lifespans of the three of us combined."

"If you push open the manhole cover and find yourself deep underground, something strange could take your life at any time."

Manhattan gave a serious warning.

After hearing this, Chu Yang and the other two became more serious.

"It's safe here for now, and you don't need to worry about the sound insulation."

"The next thing to do is to interrogate this guy."

Manhattan clapped his hands, then quickly took out a special potion.

Chu Yang pinched the guy's chin and poured the medicine into his mouth. Soon the guy opened his eyes.

But his eyes were rather dull, and he looked like a puppet that had lost the ability to control himself.

The puppet also began to tell its true origins.

"My name is Pushkin. My ability is to quietly stir up people's deepest desires."

“My upline is a woman named Bugisha.”

"We all belong to an organization called the Deepsea Scouts."

“But I have only met members of Bugisan.”

"Some time ago, he ordered me to infiltrate a gang using my real name and assist Rodak in expanding his power."

"Later, I began to instigate Lodak to start lending money at high interest rates to the outside world, and used my extraordinary power to ensure that the people who signed the contract didn't even notice anything was wrong."

"In the end, I destroyed the families of those who signed the contract, and then successfully captured and sold their wives and daughters."

“That way, I can complete my tasks easily.”

"After my last mission was completed, I asked my superiors for further potion formulas."

"But that damn woman kept evading me, and I never saw her again."

"As for the ring you mentioned, I found it during a quarrel."

"Based on my research, I feel that the ring is very likely a token of another organization, but I haven't made any new discoveries."

As he spoke, Pushkin even took out the ring from his arms.

His mental state had been extremely dull, and he would answer any questions raised by Chu Yang and the other two truthfully without any reservation.

Manhattan on the side frowned as he took the ring. After examining it carefully, he discovered some ancient patterns engraved on it.

“It’s an ancient script.”

Manhattan, holding the ring, immediately read it out with great interest.

"Permission to enter."

This circle of ancient characters only reveals the meaning of these three words.

"Is this the key to some kind of treasure?"

Even Manhattan couldn't help stroking his chin, a gesture he learned from his students.

In less than half a day, he had already fallen in love with this action.

"This shouldn't be the key to some treasure. It should be the admission ticket to a special underground party."

"And there should be a special positioning device inside this voucher."

"If I remember correctly, this organization should be called the Hermits of Destiny."

Chu Yang quickly learned the true origin of this item through the plot of the original novel. After a little thought, he told it directly.

"Destiny...what on earth are you talking about?"

Now even Manhattan couldn't help but cast a puzzled look.

"According to an ancient book I read before, this should be an extremely special underground secret organization."

"Almost everyone inside is related to the Beyonders of the Thief Sequence."

“And these guys have been active for at least a thousand years.” Chu Yang told everything he knew in a very serious manner.

Manhattan looked at Chu Yang in amazement.

"I was right about you. It seems that you are also very interested in ancient knowledge."

But Manhattan did not pursue the question further.

Chu Yang then let out a light breath, and then looked at Pushkin beside him again.

"How often do you contact that woman called Bugisa?"

"If you stay here, how long do you think it will take for her to suspect something has happened to you?"

Pushkin, who was standing by, replied with lifeless eyes:
"We contact each other at least once a month."

"We just contacted each other before, so at least I can stay here safely for a month."

"And she doesn't really pay that much attention to me. I don't think she'll contact me for the next month."

Pushkin once tried to contact Bugisha again for the formula of the potion.

He even used some special secret contact methods that he had just been given access to.

But there was no response from Bugisha.

Upon hearing this, both Chu Yang and Miss Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

A month is enough time for a lot to happen.

If they can stay safely for a month, their own strength will be greatly developed.

Especially for Chu Yang, Klein the Fool will appear in a month.

By that time, all crises will be resolved naturally.

"Well, I know some people in the official circles, and I will hand Pushkin over to the official people later."

"Of course, the bounty this guy represents naturally belongs to me. You should have no objection, right?"

Manhattan on the side couldn't help but start a joke.

In his opinion, the current crisis has long been resolved.

Chu Yang smiled slightly, naturally didn't care, and took the initiative to thank him.

He naturally knew that it was teacher Manhattan who was protecting him and Miss Xiu.

This Pushkin has been hiding in the gang for such a long time, and he even has a special sealed object in his hand.

This is enough to prove that Pushkin's position within the Deepsea Periscope organization is absolutely extraordinary.

Although it is not known why Bugisha did not respond to Pushkin's request.

But the connection between the two will never be severed so easily.

Only if Pushkin is handed over to the authorities, even if the deep-sea divers in the future take the initiative to investigate the circumstances before Pushkin disappeared.

Their final investigation direction will also stop the official people, and then the matter will truly come to nothing.

"This matter is over. Let's divide up the things on this guy first, and don't worry about the rest."

As he spoke, Manhattan even began to grope around in search of good stuff with ease.

Looking at Manhattan's appearance, Chu Yang couldn't help but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Even Miss Xiu, who was standing next to her, had a strange look on her face.

After all, judging from the current situation, Manhattan has probably done this kind of thing many times.

"Don't make such a fuss. In this world, being a Beyonder will always come into conflict with other people."

"Either we die, or the other person is killed."

"As long as we are alive, we must take away everything from the other party."

"On the one hand, it is to strengthen itself, and on the other hand, it is to keep secrets."

Manhattan particularly emphasized that if it were not for handing Pushkin over to the official.

At this moment, he had already completely burned this guy's body into ashes.

Finally, apart from the seemingly precious ring, what remained on Pushkin's body was the admission badge of the Hermit of Destiny.

And the least noticeable thing was about two hundred pounds in cash.

Of course there are also some quite common extraordinary materials.

“As the body of a Sequence 8 Beyonder, this guy’s true body is the most precious thing.”

"Since I have chosen to take it, the rest can be divided between the two of you."

Manhattan said with a smile.

"Teacher, it was all your effort to catch this guy. How can we take your things?"

Chu Yang shook his head and refused without hesitation. Miss Xiu from the same room had the same idea.

However, Manhattan smiled and handed everything to Chu Yang.

"I don't care about these things either. As for how they are distributed, it's up to you."

Learning to allocate finances is actually a skill that a team leader must possess.

It just so happened that Miss Xiu was the only companion Chu Yang had by his side.

So now is a great opportunity for him to learn how to distribute.

Chu Yang's eyes flickered slightly, and he also understood Manhattan's good intentions.

So after just a brief thought, he handed the dagger to Miss Xiu without hesitation.

This dagger can even help Pushkin hide in the shadows.

Therefore, this is definitely a true assassin's weapon.

Of course, judging from today's battle situation, this dagger lost its effectiveness when facing a Sequence 7 Beyonder.

But no matter what, this thing is definitely worth a lot of money.

"I can't take this. I'm just a spectator. Besides, this gentleman is your teacher. To me, he is more of a benefactor."

"I can't accept anything from my benefactor!"

Miss Xiu was very determined not to take the dagger.

However, Chu Yang still handed it to Miss Xiu with a smile.

"Don't forget that you were the one who successfully deduced the location of the bar."

"And I was the one who was more of a bystander throughout the whole process."

Chu Yang said with a smile as he handed the dagger to Miss Xiu.

Seeing that he still had the idea of ​​not wanting to get in touch, Manhattan smiled and said:

"Actually, this dagger is not as magical as you think. The reason why it can blend into the shadows is more because Pushkin himself is special."

"And this time, there are usage restrictions on this item. It will probably be completely scrapped after two or three more uses."

After hearing this, Miss Xiu finally accepted it with some shame.

As for all the remaining cash and the medal of the Destiny Hermit, they were naturally pocketed by Chu Yang.

And Miss Xiu kept reciting to herself, feeling somewhat ashamed that she was the one who took the most precious thing.

Chu Yang and Manhattan looked at each other, smiled and said nothing.

Just as the three were about to leave, Chu Yang suddenly reminded Manhattan, "Teacher, are you going to hand Pushkin over to the night watchman or somewhere else?" (End of this chapter)
