Life Dungeon Game

Unless there is someone in Ellen who can 'protect' her.

Considering the influence of the Restoration Organization of the Kingdom of Rhodan, Ellen City is most likely the stronghold of Jonathan.

As the last king, Jonati had ample time and resources to build a secret base for himself.

Of course, Juna was a cautious man and did not trust his subordinates.

Judging from the reaction of his C-rank subordinate Claude, from the moment Jonathan began using the identity of 'Prince Ronnie,' his subordinates were basically completely unaware of this 'Prince Ronnie.'

However, in contrast to the mystery surrounding 'Prince Ronnie,' the 'King' enjoys high visibility.

As king, all his actions are bound to attract attention and cannot be completely concealed.

Through the fall of the kingdom five years ago, he not only completed the ritual but also brought an end to his original identity.

This 'clean' Prince Ronnie

'Then you can stand in the center of the stage.'

From this perspective, investigating Jonati's actions after the kingdom's fall, as well as the organization that sought to restore the Kingdom of Ruodan, is pointless, because Jonati must have taken care of everything after changing his identity and would not have left any clues.

So He Ao changed his approach and started investigating from the 'last king'.

After all, before Heo appeared, Jonathan did not realize that someone would guess his true identity, and he did not handle the information about his original identity as king very well.

Heo is currently located in Jordan National Park, north of Ellen.

This is a scenic mountain forest, covering an area larger than the entire urban area of ​​Ellen. Most of the area is undeveloped, and the mountain road that Heo took from the airport to the city passed through the edge of this park.

Theoretically speaking, it is unreasonable to enclose such a large natural park near the capital, as it may restrict urban development.

However, this park was not actually enclosed now, but during the Kingdom period, when Johannati was still king. At that time, it was not called a national park, but the Royal Garden.

This entire magnificent garden is the private property of the royal family.

After the kingdom fell, the garden was converted into a national park and contracted out to a private individual, who was a member of the Rhodan Restoration Organization.

In other words, the park is still indirectly controlled by Ronati. Although it is called a park, it actually belongs to Ronati.

This park has a large number of artificial landscapes.

However, under the guise of building these landscapes, Ruonati mobilized a large amount of manpower and resources.

The entire construction process was basically isolated from the outside world. Almost all the construction workers were transnational laborers who were brought in directly from overseas and did not speak the language. No one knew what he had built in the park.

When Heo asked King Claude about his secret base, Claude's first thought was this park.

The park is so big that even if everyone knows there might be a problem, it's difficult to pinpoint the specific issue.

Junati knew that his actions as king could not be concealed, so he simply made a big show of it, mixing truth and falsehood together to confuse the public.

Logically speaking, Ronati shouldn't have placed his secret base in such an obviously problematic location.

But what is true may be false, and what is false may be true.

Since even Ronati's trusted C-rank subordinates were unaware of the existence of Ronati's secret base, this base is most likely a completely unmanned place or a place guarded only by a small number of 'suicide squads', and it must be able to evade various detection methods.

The cost of building such a base is extremely high.

Ruodan's national strength is limited, and Ruonati also needs to save money to set up his own supernatural organization. Even if he plunders the entire Ruodan, he still can't raise that much money.

He only has one chance to incur huge costs.

His only major construction project, involving huge expenditures, was the building of this park.

Most of the money in this park probably went into that secret base.

However, what He Ao could think of, Moonlight could also think of.

However, there is actually an information gap involved.

In this world, He Ao is the only one who knows

The person who took the central processing unit from the Tower of Ruins, and Ronati did not carry that thing with him.

Since it wasn't carried with it, it must be hidden somewhere.

Therefore, there is a necessary need for Natti to build a secret base to store such important items.

Moonlight was unaware of Johanna's secret, so at most she just thought that the tyrant was up to some new trick to make money. Even if he really did build some secret palace, it had nothing to do with Moonlight.

The incompetence and cruelty of King Ruodan were in the interest of the Moonlight and Tia Empires, so they didn't care at all.

Moreover, judging from the current records, during that period, Ruonati gave Moonlight a lot of benefits, making Moonlight feel that everything was under control.

From this perspective, although there are many suspicious points about this park, it is very likely that no one has seriously investigated it yet, and with the end of the Kingdom era, even less likely anyone will come to investigate it.

Based on this situation, it can be deduced that Rutgers would not have made many counter-surveillance arrangements, and even if they had, they would have likely become lax after such a long period of peace.

So He'ao went directly to find the person in charge of building the garden, Earl Teren, the Minister of the Palace during the Kingdom era.

This old count was Jonati's great-uncle. He was extremely loyal to the royal family, but he also had his own moral principles. He was unwilling to do dirty work and often helped the refugees. So Jonati sent him to repair the garden.

He Ao spent some time yesterday searching for clues in the black market and finally found the old man's whereabouts.

Fortunately, the old count is still alive and runs a barbecue restaurant in a corner of Ellen City, but the old man refuses to say anything.

However, He Aoyou had a memory, and he quickly obtained some key information from the old man.

When the park was built, all the accounts passed through the old count's hands, and the accounts were generally correct. However, there was a discrepancy between the accounts for the construction expenses in a certain area in the southwest corner of the park and the actual expenditures.

From the accounts, everything seemed fine, but the actual cash flow showed abnormal fluctuations and a lot of data was missing.

Moreover, this area is entirely populated by foreign workers and has the highest rate of accidental deaths among workers.

The old count suspected that Jonathan might be up to some money-making scheme again, but being powerless, he could do nothing but improve the food and security of the laborers to reduce their mortality rate.

Out of loyalty to the royal family, he never mentioned this to anyone.

Because of his good reputation, he was not purged after the end of the kingdom's era and was able to enjoy his later years in peace.

Based on the old count's recollections of several areas with high death tolls, Heo identified some likely locations for secret bases.

He Ao's leads ended there. He also tried to find clues about the restoration organization of the Kingdom of Ruodan, but Ruodan left nothing behind. The original documents were lost when the kingdom was destroyed five years ago.

In fact, given Jonathan's style of doing things, it's a miracle that an ordinary person like the old count, who had direct access to his core secrets, could survive.

Without the old count

According to information, He Ao estimates that it will take some time to find the park's original construction documents and other records left from the original construction.

He stood on the hillside, briefly activated his super memory, and his gaze swept across the surroundings. In an instant, all the scenes around him were imprinted in his mind.

The next second, the Verola appeared behind him. He boarded the Verola and headed to the next location.

Now that we have a general idea of ​​the area, all we need to do is search patiently. Something that cost so much money can't possibly be completely hidden without leaving any trace. No matter how well it's hidden, we can always find it.

Meanwhile, Heo himself was on the top floor of Moonlight's headquarters building, standing right next to Rhodes' corpse.

Beside him, a middle-aged man with glasses, a gentle face, gloves, and a white lab coat, who looked like he had just come out of a laboratory, was squatting on the ground with his hand on Rhodes's body.

Tiny strands of electricity spread from his fingertips, quickly engulfing Rhodes' entire body.

This is Li Cheng, the director of the research institute.

“His physical structure is no longer human. He underwent some kind of special modification before his death, or rather, some kind of mutation occurred. Strangely enough, apart from looking like a human, he can no longer be considered a human being.”

He looked up at He Ao, "He Ao, what do you think is the reason?"

After a moment's thought, He Ao said softly, "Strange."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Li Cheng slowly stood up. "His body was invaded by some strange force, causing a mutation. Although he still maintains a human form, he is actually just a monster that maintains a human form. Judging from the structure inside his body, his power has likely been extremely enhanced and should have reached level B."

"He only had two wounds on his body, one on his calf and one on his chest. The wound on his chest was fatal, while the wound on his calf indicated that he had been in a fierce battle. The enemy could not finish him off directly, so they could only injure his limbs first before launching a fatal attack."

"This proves that the enemy he fought was about the same strength as him, and that this person was steady, accurate and ruthless, and would kill with one blow when he seized the opportunity. The wound was a thin sword wound."

He walked to the edge of the rooftop, lifted the plastic sheeting, glanced at the giant snake's carcass hidden beneath it, pressed his fingers against the snake's scales, and flashes of electricity surged from his hand once more, quickly spreading across the snake's entire body.

"This giant snake also had many thin sword wounds, but what caused it the most damage was some kind of vibration. The power of this vibration destroyed most of the structure in its body, ultimately causing the giant snake to be seriously injured. It looks like some kind of powerful ability."

"Moreover, although the giant snake looks powerful, it has actually been confined to the rooftop. Its body is tightly bound to the building, and part of its body is even embedded in the building. This proves that it has been restricted by something, but we don't know if it is some kind of supernatural object or some kind of scheme."

"The internal structure of this giant serpent is similar to that of Rhodes; they must be from the same group."

Li Cheng pried open a wound on the giant serpent's body. "This wound is very fine. The sword used by the wielder was extremely thin and sharp. With our technology, we couldn't create a sword that was both thin and sharp. This must be an extraordinary item. And judging from this identical sword wound, the person who killed Rhodes and the giant serpent was the same person."

"This person may not be as strong as Rhodes and this giant serpent, but he is good at making use of the environment and his own advantages, making him a tough opponent."

“By the way,” Li Cheng turned to look at He Ao, “how are you feeling right now?”

He spoke gently, had a smile on his face, and seemed very approachable and easy to talk to.

He doesn't seem like the leader of the largest supernatural organization in the main world, nor the top combat power in the main world. Instead, he seems like a researcher who is truly obsessed with research.

There will be another update tonight, and a new chapter will be released tonight (I'm sure of it).

Chapter 529 Tomorrow Will Be a Sunny Day / New Dungeon Character (Two Chapters in Eight)

"Fortunately."

He Ao nodded gently, "I can hear some sounds, but they are all within my tolerance range."

From the moment he entered the building, some kind of distorted shouting was trying to affect his mind.

This is residual pollution from the mysterious shadow, but compared to what He Ao endured last night, it's practically a drop in the ocean.

"It seems you have a good tolerance for strange forces," Li Cheng smiled, leading He Ao towards the stairs.

"This is strange. Some people are naturally more tolerant of strange forces, while others fall into some kind of chaos as soon as they step into the relevant area. We are currently studying why this characteristic occurs, but unfortunately, there are still too few strange samples available for our research."

What Li Cheng was referring to was mental stability. Generally speaking, the more stable a superhuman's mind is, the stronger their ability to resist pollution. And mental stability is often related to a superhuman's self-awareness.

The two walked down the stairs, which remained exactly as it had been the night before, covered with the remains of the unspeakable monsters that He Ao had killed.

Looking at the dried blood on the ground and the twisted flesh covering the entire dark floor, Li Cheng asked He Ao softly, "Who do you think was behind this?"

"Hao Yi".

He Ao said without hesitation.
