Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

But what exactly is the situation now?

Is it inevitable destiny?

Su Mo looked up at the team that was walking slowly towards him, and suddenly felt that fate was a troublemaker.

Loki Family——

He had waited and waited, but got nothing.

When he feels that all the protagonists have left and there is no need to wait anymore, a similar plot begins to unfold?

"Did they save you?"

Bell looked back, seemed to confirm something while searching, and then nodded.

After confirming this, Su Mo took a few steps forward and greeted the approaching team, "Hestia family, Su Mo, thank you all for extending a helping hand!"

Seeing Su Mo bowing to express his gratitude, Bell also bowed quickly.

Finn, the 'brave man' who was walking at the front of the team, responded with a smile, "It's just a coincidence. No need to be so serious."

"Saving a life is not something that can be done casually."

Hearing this, Finn nodded, "In that case, we will accept your gratitude. Is he also a member of Hestia's Familia?"

"Yes."

"Then pay more attention. When we first met him, he was obviously covered in blood phosphorus powder."

Blood phosphorus powder, a kind of powder that can attract monsters.

"Thanks for letting me know!"

As he said that, Su Mo pulled Bell out of the way.

Finn gave a final nod of farewell and led the team towards the passage leading to the seventh floor.

After the members of Loki's family disappeared one by one in the passage, Su Mo looked at Bell again, "It's time for us to go. The Lord God is still waiting for us."

"Captain, I..."

Su Mo smiled and pushed Bell from the back, "Let's go! Go back first, and we'll talk about it when we get home."

Chapter 84 Cause and Effect.

Hestia heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Su Mo and Bell return safely.

He quickly swooped over and gave the two of them a big hug on the spot.

"Okay, let's go home first!"

After returning home, Su Mo asked Bell to take a shower and change clothes first, while he heated up the dinner that had already gone cold.

Perhaps, the small oven can be the next flagship product of the Hestia family... While heating up meals in the kitchen, Su Mo missed those convenient kitchen utensils that could heat up food quickly.

Microwave ovens are actually better, but the principles and manufacturing of electric wave heating are a bit difficult for him as an art student.

The food was heated up and Bell had finished washing up.

They were almost hungry, so they sat down at the dining table and ate and chatted.

"…So, Bell, you went down to the eighth floor with a friend you've only known for less than five days?"

Bell gave a brief account of what happened to him today, and Hestia looked terrified after hearing it.

"The original target was the seventh floor, and there was a supporter..."

A supporter came to the door, and a friend invited me to explore the next level together. Well, at least it sounds normal up to here.

"Su, shut up. It's all because you, as the leader, haven't set a good example."

Su Mo gave Bell a helpless look and quickly blocked his mouth with food.

Seeing this, Hestia returned her stern gaze to Bell, "Let's not talk about the supporter who just joined. An adventurer who I only met and talked with a few times in the dungeon, Bell, can you really trust your back to such a person?"

Bell was extremely ashamed and lowered his head in silence.

It's not that he was not on guard, but a simple boy who had just come from the countryside could never outsmart a cunning man.

The story was indeed normal and smooth at the beginning, and even went smoothly from the beginning to the evening. Relying on each other in battle was a way to establish a life-and-death friendship. It was not surprising that the initial vigilance would gradually disappear in such a battle.

It is precisely because of this that, at the very end, when the hidden fangs are finally revealed, they appear particularly deadly.

"If Loki's followers hadn't happened to pass by this time, you might have really died, Bell!"

Seeing that Bell had lowered his head as low as he could, Su Mo could only take over the conversation again, "This is actually also my fault. If I hadn't forced those eye-catching things on Bell, this wouldn't have happened."

He wanted to attract a little human, but ended up attracting real wolves. This was undoubtedly his fault.

The whole story is not complicated. It is just the story of a little white rabbit and two wolves.

A wolf in sheep's clothing pretended to approach the white rabbit. He probably wanted to take it slow, but when he found that another little wolf was also eyeing his prey, he decided to act hastily, perhaps after testing or thinking for a long time.

If you act in a hurry, your methods will inevitably become crude.

Therefore, the white rabbit surrounded by monsters has a chance to escape, and the little wolf can take the opportunity to pick up a piece of fat meat that falls on the ground while escaping.

In a sense, the little wolf actually helped the white rabbit, but I wonder what happened to it now?

Just think about it, how could the wolf who had uncovered the sheepskin be willing to give up the fat meat in his hands? After the white rabbit was trapped, what was left was naturally a fight for food between the two wolves.

"This has nothing to do with the captain. It was my own carelessness. I..."

"Both of you shut up."

Hestia stood up angrily, "Now I'm not talking about whose fault this is, but you must never make the same mistake again, understand?"

"Yes!"

"know."

Even after receiving the assurance, Hestia was still furious. "Which clan does that adventurer belong to?"

"The Demeter Family..."

"fake."

Hestia made a quick and decisive judgment.

"But we must also inform the Demeter family that someone is using their name to do evil things."

After hearing Su Mo's explanation, Hestia nodded and said, "I will tell Demeter about this."

"in addition……"

Su Mo turned his gaze to Bell, "You tell me to draw the faces of the two people later. With the portraits, we will have a direction for the investigation."

Just stealing things is one thing, but really wanting Bell to die is another.

If even this kind of thing is not investigated, it will only take a day or two for all the Families in Orario to know that the Hestia Familia is a Familia that can be bullied at will.

Of course, you don’t need to rely entirely on yourself to investigate this kind of thing. The guild and the gendarmerie are no pushovers either.

Conquering a dungeon is an extremely difficult task in itself. If many adventurers can still fight each other in the dungeon at will, there is no need to conquer the dungeon further... Assassinating adventurers in the dungeon is something that the guild explicitly prohibits.

If the person simply disappeared and there were no clues at all, it would be easier to deal with. But now that the person has returned and there are clues, if the guild still can't find out something, it would be a slap in the guild's own face.

If the so-called prohibited matters really make people feel that they are "just so-so", then the guild's maintenance of Orario will be just so-so.

The collapse of credibility is a terrible thing no matter where it happens.

"You should remember what those two people look like, right?"

"I remember!"

Bell nodded vigorously.

From the way he subconsciously clenched his fists, it can be seen that today's blow was too great for him after all.

"Just remember it. Let's eat first...Also, if something is lost, it's lost. We're not angry about that. You didn't do anything wrong except trusting others."

"That's right! As long as the person is fine, nothing else matters."

Bell lowered his head and silently stuffed a potato ball into his mouth.

The emotions that had been relatively stable before could no longer be suppressed at this moment, and tears flowed down unconsciously, and could not be wiped away for a while.

……——……

There is no sunlight in the narrow and long back alley, and even the light is much dimmer than elsewhere.

A dwarf was walking in it. The complicated route that was more like a maze than a dungeon did not stop her steps for a moment. After passing through the garbage dump where black cats gathered and turning several corners, she arrived at her destination.

It was an old, single-family house built only of wood.

Above the main entrance of the house, there was a crookedly hanging sign with the words so worn out that they could no longer be read.

The dwarf opened the door and stepped into the store. The next moment, an old voice quickly sounded.

"Oh~, it's you again!"

The person who spoke was a goblin with a white beard and bald head, who was sitting behind the counter. He just raised his head from the newspaper and was obviously the owner of this place.

"sorry to bother you."

The dwarf didn't say anything extra and just put a dagger without a scabbard on the counter.

"Well, the stuff is pretty good."

The goblin shopkeeper picked up the dagger, raised his hand to adjust the position of his glasses, looked carefully for a while, and gave a summary evaluation, "One million faris, how about it?"

"You must be joking. This thing can easily sell for six or seven million if it's placed in a display cabinet..."

"You know it's in the display case."

Putting the dagger down, the goblin shopkeeper picked up the newspaper he had just put down and handed it to the little man.

"You can take a look at the front page. An adventurer was assassinated in the dungeon, and two daggers and several items were stolen. The guild issued a wanted notice this morning. The criminal's appearance has been reported, and the material and size of the daggers are also detailed."

The little human quickly glanced at the newspaper, with no intention of taking it, "This has nothing to do with me."

One, two, of the portraits in the newspapers looked nothing like her.

"Oh, the old man is still confident in his identification ability. One million is already given because you are a regular customer."

"three million!"

The goblin shop owner shook his head and unfolded the newspaper again to read.

Seeing this scene, the dwarfs knew that they were indeed late.

If I had sold it last night, the price wouldn't be a problem at all... It's all that mad dog's fault. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have had to hide for so long, and now I haven't been able to sell the things.

"How much can you get at most?"

"One million. That's the highest price I can offer."

Profligate businessman... The little people were almost gritting their teeth. "One million and eight hundred thousand, this is the lowest price I can accept."

"If you don't want to do it, you'd better hide it well for now. The guild has always been very serious about such incidents of assassinating adventurers through dungeons."

"I told you, that has absolutely nothing to do with me."

She was just a spectator from beginning to end. The mad dog not only wanted to kill the white rabbit, but also wanted to kill her.

She just wasn't as stupid as Bai Tu. She realized something was wrong in advance and escaped first. She just picked up the dagger from the ground.

"One million six hundred thousand."

"Since you are a regular customer, I'll give you a little more, one million and five hundred thousand."

"..."

"..."

With a bang, the dwarf slammed the door shut.

She ended up leaving the dagger behind and taking the money, but this was not a satisfactory outcome for her.
