You will surrender to me.

Baichuanhua suddenly grabbed Zhiren's wrist and asked.

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I'm just curious. After all, that is a difficult hurdle that no one has been able to overcome so far."

Baichuanhua withdrew her hand, feeling a little embarrassed. Although she had expressed her attitude before, in fact, she and Naoto were not particularly close. At most, they were familiar with each other, not partners.

'Eighth level.'

Naoto tore off a sticky note and gave it to her, then turned around and left. There was nothing to hide. Since Baichuanhua had sensed the gap, he knew for sure that he was above level five, and this was also a test for him. If Baichuanhua exposed him, he would not have any unsolvable trouble. Judging from the situation on the human side, it would be wishful thinking to want to kill him.

If an unexpected situation occurs, Naoto can just use the Word Spirit to kill at once. The target of the Word Spirit is not necessarily a specific person, it can also be locked by a certain concept, so now Naoto is not afraid at all. He used to avoid them because it was difficult to find them one by one, but now he is not afraid, he can kill them with just a few words.

But as long as everything goes as usual, everyone is happy, and Baichuanhua can be regarded as a real partner.

"So powerful? Oh, by the way, do you know the location of the base deep inside? I can have someone take you there."

After Zhiren walked a few steps, Baichuanhua finally reacted, but she didn't say anything directly. There was a sonic stand here that could monitor their conversation, but it was limited to sound, and only when key words were mentioned would they attract attention. After all, who would listen to what you say all day? So she just had to pay attention to what she said, and Zhiren couldn't speak at all, so there was no need to worry.

'I'm not going right away, I have some things to do, but if you have a map you can give me a copy and I'll go there later.'

Naoto thought for a while and wrote quickly.

"Personal business? Fine then. I'll have the person in charge give you a map. If others provoke you, ignore them. As far as the current situation is concerned, you are still on our side. It is an iron rule not to attack your own people. As long as it is not an agreed fight, you cannot hurt others."

Then Baichuanhua reminded Zhiren.

'Are you afraid that I'll get beaten?'

Naoto wrote casually.

"I'm afraid you might kill someone without any mercy. My ability isn't always available. If you kill someone, I won't be able to save him."

Baichuanhua said unhappily that she had seen Naoto's ability with her own eyes. When he went to take Mingzhai's sunglasses before, Naoto had already taken back Mingzhai's sunglasses which was two hundred meters away before her brain could react. Not to mention, even if it was just an ordinary punch, at that speed, she was afraid that the guy who provoked her would have his brain burst on the spot.

'I thought you were so unsure of me.'

Naoto threw down a sticky note, smiled, and walked upstairs.

Naoto walked up the stairs one step at a time and roughly calculated the height. There seemed to be only one floor below. This small space should not be enough to be everyone's "home". At most, it should be a base for communication. Everyone should have their own place to live. There may be only a few people living here.

"Hey~ A new guy is back. Do you want to learn a few moves to increase your combat experience?"

After Naoto came out, the first person to speak was the drunkard. He seemed to want to have a fight with Naoto, and he kept making gestures every other sentence.

"Hello, Mr. Kujo, here is the map of the Deep Base you need."

The lady who led the way before, whom Bai Chuanhua referred to as the "person in charge", respectfully handed over a QR code?

"You can scan and download an app that not only lets you view maps, but also lets you buy and sell things. It's a common app used internally."

Seeing Naoto's confused expression, the person in charge explained.

Oh, those prelude plots like underground markets and auctions in novels. But I don’t need to look for opportunities like those protagonists. I guess the only useful thing for me right now is the map.

"Huh? This new guy wants to go deep into the base right after he arrives? Does he want to die so badly?"

Hearing the words of the person in charge, Zhong Ren looked over with some surprise. The difference between the souls in the depths of the demi-human area and those outside is that they have brains. They may not be as smart, but there is still a huge difference. Moreover, the power of the souls in the depths is also stronger. I didn't expect Naoto to go to the depths as soon as he came to the demi-human area, and the drunkard even shouted directly.

The author says:

Author's words: Ask for monthly ticket~~

Chapter 4: Naoto is targeted by the elves

Although the drunkard's words and tone were not very good, they did express the thoughts of everyone. They had been here for a long time, so naturally they all had the idea of ​​going deeper, but after going there once, they could find the difference.

The souls in the deep are more powerful and have intelligence. Even if their intelligence is only at the level of a child a few to ten years old, it still exists. They will use various methods to kill you instead of just running away stupidly or rushing up mindlessly like the ones outside.

Another important point is that the souls began to use ordinary demi-humans as hostages.

Although demihumans and humans are of different races, their lives are actually pretty much the same. In this world, their bloodlines have very little effect. The difference between ordinary demihumans and ordinary humans is probably only in appearance. Although exorcists are distinguished from demihumans in terms of their names, that is their job, and they are not without lives. Many of them have married demihumans. After all, for most people, who doesn't like animal ears or tails?

Therefore, they will be restricted, but there are ways to solve these problems. There is only one problem that cannot be solved by having a good brain, and that is the problem of strength.

Heshan Jiuren, male, level 3 combatant, ability locked, unable to watch.

Naoto opened his phone and opened the newly downloaded software. This software was very considerate, it would automatically read the location and display the general situation of the current base and some information. When Naoto opened the personnel information, the fourth line was the drunkard, there were only some basic information, and very little, in addition to the record of killing so many souls, there was also a third-level combat personnel logo.

But, level three? Baichuanhua said that the percentage of the extraordinary road is roughly the level, level three, that is about 30%? It doesn't seem to be very powerful, at least for Zhiren, it is something that can be easily dealt with.

Although the "mysteries" of the world have stopped decreasing, the progress is very slow because almost all of these people are using universal basic cultivation methods.

In fact, it’s not that the government has no foundation. On the contrary, it’s because they are all serious and orthodox cultivation methods that make the progress so slow. Those cultivation methods that open the road to transcendence are all left over from the past. But the past was a golden age of magic, with "idealism" occupying a major position, and filled with mystery. How could it not be fast?

Now, 'materialism' occupies the main position. If there had not been a sign that the world gate had opened, causing the concentration of 'mystery' to begin to rise, it would have been impossible to break through level five now, and it is estimated that it would not be possible to break through level three in the future.

In this situation, only the 'evil ways' that were previously despised by most people can help one become stronger quickly, such as Naoto's way of Shishi, or Kannonzaka Seira's way of using desire to improve.

If people in the government want to advance through proper cultivation methods, they will probably have to wait at least four years. Moreover, assuming that the world gate will open in three years, a year should be enough for the "mystery" of this world to recover to a certain extent.

But that was all in the future. Right now, for them, Naoto's strength was absolutely powerful, so Naoto didn't want to bother with him. He looked at his information purely to see what kind of person he was.

Boxer briefs (poor).

Naoto made up his mind, then turned around and prepared to go out.

"Um, hey, newbie, what's your attitude? What do you mean by that look? Are you mocking me?"

The drunkard looked at Naoto's indifferent expression and stood up angrily, but he only questioned him verbally and had no intention of taking action. 】

It seems that Bai Chuanhua was right. At least the people here would not attack their companions at will.

Naoto looked at the drunkard who had no intention of coming to fight him even though he was so angry that he wanted to bang the table. He had a certain understanding of Baichuan Hua's words. It seemed that the people here, at least a considerable number of them, although they might have various problems with their personalities, were undoubtedly qualified companions.

Click.

Naoto ignored his roar and opened the door and walked out. Naoto would not have much interaction with him, so Naoto was too lazy to argue with him and just left.

"It seems that your method has no effect. But that's not because he is calm, but because he doesn't take you seriously at all."

The young man with semi-long hair next to him patted the drunk's arm.

"It can be seen that the newcomers this time are really arrogant. The newcomers in the past were either timid or arrogant. Although this one is not that arrogant, his disregard is more infuriating than those arrogant guys. I said so much, but he didn't say a word. It feels like punching cotton."

The drunkard sat down and said in a rather depressed tone.

"Hey, old drunkard, I'm giving you a piece of advice. Don't mess with him, or I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to regret it."

The girl with bob haircut who was sitting not far away gave a reminder.

"Hmm? You used your ability?"

The drunk frowned and looked at the Bob-haired guy.

"Yeah, I used it."

The girl with the Bob Haircut bit her lips lightly. The result of using her ability just now shocked her so much that she couldn't even recover from the shock.

"What was the result? Could I beat him? Judging from your expression, did I lose miserably?"

The drunkard looked at the guy with the slightly complicated expression on his face and asked curiously.

"You know, the prerequisite for a 'trade-off' is that the difference between the two is within a certain range."

The bob-haired woman sighed.

"What the hell? You mean there's a huge gap between that new guy and me? Damn, you're still pretending like that?"

The drunkard cursed, but he saw the complicated expression on the bob-haired woman's face.

"Could it be that I am the one who cannot reach the level required for 'trade-off'?"

The drunk was silent for a while and then asked tentatively.

The woman with the bob haircut nodded, and her action made everyone's breathing pause.

Although everyone's abilities are locked in the software, because everyone has worked together to some extent, many abilities can be guessed, and the auxiliary abilities are basically known in detail.

Bob's weapon is a 'scale' that can weigh the strength of both sides and can 'weight' it to a certain extent. It cannot know the specific strength of the enemy, but it can use this method to know how many people can fight. As long as the two sides reach a balance, she can increase the chance of winning through 'weighting' and achieve the goal of solving the opponent, so everyone has great confidence in her ability.

"How many people do you need to put up there to reach a balance with that guy?"

Heshan Jiuren had a bad feeling, so he asked.

“Can’t balance.”

The guy with the bob haircut gently stroked the coffee cup and spoke softly.

!

The air in the cafe seemed to be stagnant, and everyone subconsciously held their breath in shock.

"You mean, he can kill all of us without any pressure?!"

Tsuruyama Hisato slumped in his chair and asked in disbelief.

The woman with the bob haircut didn't answer, but sometimes, not saying anything is already an answer.

"Interesting. I didn't expect to see a young man who is about to be promoted at this time. Is there a powerful teacher behind him?"

A girl with a black feather in her hair was lying on the roof basking in the sun, muttering to herself, thinking for a while, smiling, then walking to the edge, moving her eyes, and soon found Naoto, but at this time Naoto's eyes were also looking in this direction.

Found me? How is it possible? My concealment ability is so great that even the dean and the others can hardly detect it. How could this young human be able to find me directly?!

The girl's expression froze for a moment, and she was very surprised.

Um, is that... a dragon? No, how could a dragon, such an extremely proud creature, live in the appearance of a human? My sister said that there are no dragons in this world, and only in fantasy worlds can giant dragons appear. That should be the Dragonborn. However, is the Dragonborn's dragon power so powerful?

The girl looked at Naoto's eyes which seemed to be filled with golden light, and wanted to step back, but found that her body could hardly move, and even breathing began to feel a little difficult.

A watcher of the human race? But it seems that he is only good at reconnaissance.

Naoto restrained his dragon power, turned around and left. The girl probably wouldn't follow him. The warning just now was enough for the girl to digest. But she looked no different from a human. She didn't have animal ears or a tail, nor did she have horns or anything like that. It was unknown what race she was.

"Ha~~ha~~Is this the Dragonborn? Are all things related to dragons so powerful? No, I have to tell my sister that there is a Dragonborn among humans."

The girl sat down on the ground, wiped the sweat from her face with her sleeve, then propped herself up to stand up, spread her hands to both sides, and flapped them gently. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a pair of black wings, and then flapped again. The girl's figure instantly disappeared from the spot, and when she appeared again, she was already hundreds of meters away in the air.

The girl walked very fast, and soon she arrived at a place that looked like a school campus.

The window of one of the buildings on campus was open, so she aimed in that direction, flapped her wings, and rushed over as fast as if she had disappeared again.

Swish!

The girl's figure appeared in the room. There were two other women in the room. The one standing in front of the table was tall and slender, with a black feather in the hair above her ear. She looked somewhat similar to the girl who rushed in. They were obviously sisters, or mother and daughter.

The other person sitting on the soft leather chair was a plump, charming, voluptuous blonde beauty. What was noteworthy was that her ears were long and pointed, but other than that, she had no other features that were different from humans. She was obviously an elf, and a relatively common forest elf among the elves.

"Maruha, what happened? Why are you so impatient?"

The woman who looked somewhat similar to the girl who rushed in looked at the hurried girl and asked in confusion. She knew that the girl was responsible for monitoring the human "weapon master" base before, and now she came back in a hurry. What happened?

"Dragon, no, Dragonborn, Sister Yayu, I found a Dragonborn among humans!"

Maruha raised his head, took a deep breath, and spoke hurriedly.

"Dragonborn? Are you sure? There aren't even dragons in this world, so where do dragonborn come from?"

Yayu frowned. Even though he knew you wouldn't lie, he still found it hard to believe.

"Let me take a look, Yayu. She might have made a wrong judgment. After all, she is just a student. It is normal for her to panic when encountering unexpected events."

The plump forest elf stood up and walked over, stretched out her index and middle fingers, gently tapped Maruha's forehead, closed her eyes, and Maruha also closed his eyes, sharing his memories with the forest elf.

After a while, the forest elf opened her eyes, smiled faintly, and walked back to her seat, but Crow Feather could feel her excitement.

"What's wrong? What did you find? You seem very happy?"

Crow Feather asked doubtfully.

"That's definitely not Dragonborn."

The forest elf smiled and spoke.

"Not Dragonborn, so what's there to be happy about?"

Yayu was a little confused. Among high-end combat forces, humans were already inferior to sub-humans. There was nothing to be happy about if the Dragonborn didn't have one. On the contrary, it would be bad news if he had one.

"Because, that's a real dragon."

The forest elves' tone was filled with excitement.

"Oh, a real dragon...wait, a real dragon?! Are you sure?"
