Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

It is undoubtedly a pipe dream to want to find Raymond's treasure by normal means.

Fortunately, they were not fighting alone, the scientific research department of World Serpent was with them.

When he opened his personal terminal, the three-dimensional composition of the entire castle was clearly visible, and even the damage was clearly marked. Shi Hen couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sister Natasha is worthy of being a senior cadre of the organization."

This kind of action ability can only mean that Raven’s identity as a legendary mercenary is not just for show. Shi Hen still has a long way to go if he wants to catch up with him.

"Humph! Do you understand my sister's good points now?" Raven said proudly, and walked towards the castle. "Hurry up. Even if these devices are installed, I don't know how long it will take to get the results."

Collecting various information and comparing them is not a task that can be completed in a short time, even if they use the equipment specially provided by World Serpent.

If they didn't get the matter sorted by the end of the night, they would have to wait another month.

"Oh."

Nodding secretly, Shi Hen walked in a different direction from Raven.

The castle is large, so it would be more efficient to act separately.

Walking in the long-abandoned castle, the nose is filled with the smell of decay and oldness, and a slight chill penetrates through the skin and keeps penetrating deep into the body, making people shiver.

Even an experienced tomb raider would be unable to stop feeling fear in the face of such a situation and would want to turn around and flee.

But for Shi Hen, who had become a Herrscher, he was just enjoying this rare adventure, and even had the mind to help the bones lying on the side of the road to pose in a more attractive posture.

Swish!

There was a sound of breaking wind, and three sharp claws suddenly appeared from the darkness, emitting a faint light that scratched the unsuspecting boy.

He slightly deviated his foot to avoid the claw, then Shi Hen raised his foot and kicked the attacking figure hard.

Bang!

He flew back at a faster speed than when he came, and his figure was deeply embedded in the wall and could not move anymore.

"Death warrior? Are they wanderers who seek refuge here during the full moon?" Shi Hen approached and looked at the other person. He deduced his identity from the clothes of the death warrior, "But, he is really ugly."

Without the 12+ filter, the dead soldiers in the world of Honkai actually look quite creepy.

They have pale gray skin, eyes full of cruelty and terror, and some of them even let out terrifying roars when attacking.

Moreover, they will not turn into big sisters by wearing Honkai-style uniforms.

Generally speaking, the appearance of a dead person will not change much, and he will look more like a zombie that will not rot.

It is precisely because of this that becoming a dead soldier is an extremely ugly ending for a Valkyrie. Many people will entrust their friends before the battle begins, asking them to kill them when they show signs of becoming a dead soldier, in order to preserve their final dignity.

After all, in a sense, the dead soldiers are actually living things, but the dead will not become dead soldiers.

In the Honkai energy environment, the existence of external wounds will accelerate the process of becoming a dead soldier. This wanderer should have become a dead soldier for this reason.

Otherwise, with the concentration of Honkai energy in the castle, humans would be able to survive for a long time without being affected, even during the full moon period.

By sealing the holy relic here, Raymond would not betray his own descendants.

He shook his head slightly, punched the wall, knocked down countless bricks and stones and buried the dead man, then Shi Hen turned and walked towards the next point.

It took nearly an hour before Shi Hen finally returned to the hall to meet Raven at around two o'clock.

Chapter 11 A Walk Under the Moon

"Next, we just need to wait here."

Raven found a place where the moonlight could shine in and sat down, with a relaxed expression on his face.

She was still quite confident in the technical strength of the World Snake.

"Approximately how long will it take?"

He brought a piece of stone and cut a flat and smooth cross-section of it with a stroke of his finger. Shi Hen then sat down next to Raven with satisfaction.

Watching the boy's series of operations, and then glancing down at the stone below that he had simply wiped, Raven suddenly felt that he had fallen behind the times.

"It will probably take several hours."

Taking out a tablet-sized terminal and glancing at the constantly changing data on it, Raven speculated.

"Oh."

Shi Hen nodded.

He had never come into contact with this type of equipment and was not sure whether this time was fast or slow.

But since it is the world snake's high-tech equipment, I think it should be at the world's leading level.

"How was it? These few days in Sicily."

The raven asked out loud, deciding to take some interest in the boy's life now that he had some free time.

In her heart, she already regarded Shi Hen as a younger brother who needed care.

"Not bad." Admiring the desolate scenery outside through the big hole in the wall, Shi Hen answered casually, "The food in Sicily is delicious, the scenery is beautiful, and the people are pretty nice."

It turns out that in this modern society, as long as you have money, you usually won't have a bad life.

With the ten million given by the World Serpent in his pocket, Shi Hen was living a very happy life.

After all, he had no intention of saving the money and had no intention of buying a villa on an island.

"Is it because of the girl with white hair?"

The raven laughed mischievously, apparently only hearing the last sentence.

Shi Hen: “…”

There’s no way to get over this hurdle, right?

"Actually..." Staring straight into the mercenary's wine-red eyes, Shi Hen's gaze gradually softened, "Compared to that kind of little girl, I prefer more mature ones."

……

The raven's pupils suddenly dilated.

The two of them were sitting next to each other at this moment, so close that she could even hear the boy's strong heartbeat and feel the hot breath on her face.

"W-what are you talking about?"

Raven couldn't help but look away, his cheeks getting hot.

Even though the boy was really good-looking, like a cute little puppy, she only treated him as a younger brother... How could this guy have such thoughts?

"just kidding."

Shi Hen said with a smile.

He's not the type who won't fight back.

A mercenary: "..."

It's hard, the fist is hard.

Taking a deep breath, Raven's eyes gradually turned cold.

It's time to let this kid understand the hierarchy of the organization.

"But I still like Sister Natasha very much."

Shihen added.

In this world, Raven was one of the few people who would show kindness to him.

After spending more than half a year in the shadow world, Shi Hen had witnessed quite a few betrayals and deceptions, and even his teammates had killed several of them personally.

After all, Shi Hen only looks like a fifteen-year-old boy, and there are always people who think he is easy to bully because of his young age.

Without exception, these people returned to God's arms ahead of time.

In the underground world where profit is everything, betrayal and deception are the mainstream, and kindness is just a rare luxury.

Even as Raven, her kindness is only directed towards a few people.

The first place on Charon's list was built by piling up corpses.

"What is it, you little devil..."

No longer able to remain angry after being disturbed by the boy's words, Raven shook his head helplessly.

"Does Sister Natasha hate me?"

Shi Hen blinked and looked at the mercenary.

"Of course not."

Raven retorted, subconsciously looking away, somewhat afraid to look into the other person's eyes.

"Phew, that's good..."

Shi Hen seemed to be relieved.

But in the moonlight, the corners of the boy's mouth curled up slightly.

Today is another day for practicing tea art.

It is said in the book that high-end hunters often appear in the form of prey.

Of course, the reason why Raven was captured so quickly was because Shi Hen himself had no ill intentions.

To be the number one killer in the world, what methods has Raven not seen?

She was manipulated only because she wanted to be manipulated.

Never daring to mention the little white-haired girl again, Raven took out snacks from his backpack to share with the boy, while talking about some interesting things that happened during past missions to kill time.

Listening to Raven's story, chewing the beef jerky in his mouth, and taking a sip of milk tea in the thermos from time to time, Shi Hen inexplicably felt as if he was having a picnic in the park.

All I can say is that the raven's mobility was so strong that it turned a foggy search mission into a picnic in the wild.

Of course, the technical capabilities of World Serpent are also an important factor.

Technology has changed life.

If there was internet access here, Shi Hen could even play a few competitive games.

The infrastructure in Shenzhou is still more powerful.

Shi Hen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Time passed quickly, and soon the detection results were displayed on Raven's terminal.

The mercenary's brows slowly furrowed as he scanned the lines of text and charts on the screen.

Seeing the change in Raven's expression, even Shi Hen, who didn't understand these devices, knew that if nothing unexpected happened, then something unexpected must have happened.

Sure enough, the protagonist’s path will never be smooth sailing.

Shi Hen felt deeply his own sin.

"What happened?"

Shi Hen asked questions consciously, which promoted the development of the plot.

"Can't find the target location." Raven said while operating quickly on the terminal, his voice a little heavy, "There is unknown interference, we can only confirm that the space coefficient of the castle area is different from the normal value.

I'll look for the reason..."

After operating for a full half a quarter of an hour, Raven finally put down the terminal and said, "The thing that Raymond left behind is actually moving!"

In another space that they cannot see, the holy relics left by Raymond are moving in a law that they cannot understand, causing ripples in the real space.

However, due to the sophistication of the equipment, they were unable to directly lock onto the relics and could only see the shadows left by the other party in the real space.

"Is it alive?"

Shi Hen also truly felt the difficulty of the problem.

If they can't decipher the activity patterns of the holy relics, they probably won't be able to catch the enemy.

"I don't know."

Raven spread his hands, looking helpless.

Being able to sense the movement of the holy relic already shows that the World Serpent's technology is powerful enough. Who knows if that thing is alive?

“Can you eliminate the interference?”

Shi Hen continued to ask.
