How can there be such a strong superpower?

"Come over here too, I'll explain the situation to you briefly."

Si Yujie turned her head to look at Chen Lusi and Xia Panqiu and greeted them.

The two walked over.

"This time you need to go to the Changxu District."

Si Yujie picked up the phone on the table, opened the map software, searched for the specific location, and showed it to the three people: "I will send you the specific location later. Let me tell you what I know now."

"Here, at the intersection of Kaifeng Road and Yimin Street, there's an alley about two meters wide between this noodle shop and the hardware store."

"Last night...more than one person said they saw someone walking out with a black umbrella."

"And it didn't rain last night, but that's not the point. The point is that every witness said they saw someone walking out of the alley with a black umbrella, and then suddenly disappeared before their eyes."

"I saw someone coming out one second, but the next second, they disappeared."

"It was late at night, and holding a black umbrella would have attracted a lot of attention... so there were quite a few people there, and even two witnesses saw the same scene just ten minutes apart."

"A being holding a black umbrella is wandering in the alley... This is the information we know so far."

"..."

After hearing this, the three of them fell into deep thought.

Xia Panqiu was the first to react and asked, "Is anyone injured?"

“There are no relevant reports at this time.”

Si Yujie shook her head slightly, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "However... although this doesn't sound like a very dangerous Legend activation, and it's nowhere near as serious as the last time someone hanged themselves, Kunlun still hasn't given any warning, so I hope you can be careful and don't let your guard down."

"it is good."

Xia Panqiu took a deep breath and nodded.

"Also, you'll be going alone this time... Ji Xin's team needs to deal with two other Legend activations, so they're a bit more troublesome."

Si Yujie thought for a moment and added, "So after you arrive at your destination, wait and see. If you are very confident, then deal with it as soon as possible, and then see if you can support the people of Ji Xin's team. After all, they are here to help.

If you’re not sure, don’t worry.”

"understood."

Wu You took one last look at Si Yujie's phone, memorized the location, and then nodded.

"Then get ready and go."

Si Yujie put away her phone: "You can decide what to bring with you. Be careful on your journey."

Say it.

He lowered his head and fiddled with his phone, preparing to send the location to Wu You.

Wu Youze looked at Chen Lusi and Xia Panqiu, thought for a moment, and asked, "Let's bring guns this time, but...do you also bring ropes?"

The gun is a good choice.

In most cases, it is brought.

After all, modern weapons are really useful sometimes.

For example, last time Chen Lusi shot the counterfeiter...

But the decision about the newly acquired antique, the 'hanging rope', was more difficult.

"Take it with you."

Xia Panqiu didn't hesitate for long and quickly replied: "It's better to trouble you now than not having you around when you need it."

"Row."

Wu You thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case: "Then I'll go get it... But it's still troublesome to carry a bloody rope. This kind of ancient artifact is the only troublesome thing."

As he spoke, he walked into the company.

Chen Lusi watched him leave, then looked at Xia Panqiu and said with emotion: "I thought you had space artifacts or something..."

"Yes, yes..."

Xia Panqiu understood why Chen Lusi was sighing, and explained, "But these kinds of antiques...are usually quite large, like the gourds we've been training with. If you put something inside and then carry the gourd around with you, it would be even more troublesome, so generally, we don't do that."

"Also because of this, there is an unwritten rule for the division of ancient artifacts within Tiance Mansion."

"That is - if the power is similar, the smaller the relic, the greater its value, and vice versa."

"After all, antiques are meant to be used. For most teams, the kind that can fit in your pocket are the most valuable, so seals and other antiques are very popular."

Chen Lusi suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."

Chapter 68 Lines in the Sky

Ten o'clock in the morning.

The errand team set off.

Wu You was driving again this time.

The three of them carried two bags.

A package containing a 'hanging rope' was kept by Wu You.

The other bag contained guns and was carried by Chen Lusi.

"...To sum up, our rope is considered a relatively valuable antique."

After getting in the car.

Xia Panqiu gave Chen Lusi a brief introduction to the types of antiques currently available, and finally said, "Although it's not compact and portable, and you need to wear it around your neck to activate it, at least you can carry it around, so the impact isn't too great.

The most awkward positioning is that of large antiques that are neither too high nor too low, neither extremely powerful, but very useful, yet inconvenient to carry.

It is difficult to carry and difficult to use.

This is the most troublesome thing... Unless there happens to be a member in the team who has the authority to store artifacts, otherwise we can only hope to obtain an ancient artifact that can accommodate ancient artifacts."

"Ancient things that contain ancient things..."

Chen Lusi smiled when he heard this: "Why is it just like a nesting doll?"

“Because this thing is troublesome.”

Xia Panqiu explained, "Shape, size, effect, power... these things are affected by many factors. No one knows what kind of ancient artifact they'll get, just like we don't know what we'll encounter next on this trip... We didn't expect to get a rope last time, did we?"

"understood."

Chen Lusi breathed a sigh of relief and then looked out the window: "But to be honest... I hope there won't be any ancient artifacts this time. It would be best if it can be solved simply."

"I think so too."

Wu You, who was driving, heard this and interjected, "After all, if we can get it done quickly, we can still show off our presence at Ji Xin's team and act as saviors once again."

"Aren't we handymen?"

Chen Lusi asked.

"Can't a handyman have dreams?"

Wu You asked back, and continued, "And don't underestimate the desire of a greasy man who is almost forty to show off... Last time I wanted to show off, after all, I finally advanced, but I didn't expect to be hung on the rope. Fortunately, we were all hung together, so it wasn't too embarrassing.

But I didn't manage to force them... So this time I'm going to give them a good shake. After all, including Pan Qiu, our odd-job team now has two members who have condensed stones, which means we've already reached the upper echelons of the field."

Chen Lusi: "..."

Xia Panqiu: "...idiot."

From the description of this mission, it really wasn't that serious, after all, there were no casualties.

Although the three of them did not take it lightly, the atmosphere was certainly not as solemn as last time.

of course.

In-car only.

After arriving at your destination.

Wu You stopped laughing and became serious.

He carried the bag containing the 'hanging rope', opened the car door, confirmed the direction, and headed to the alley with Chen Lusi and Xia Panqiu.

This time it was unlike last time, as it happened in a busy supermarket.

The area near where the incident occurred is not a prosperous area.

Chen Lusi observed for a while and found that most of the shops on both sides of the street sold hardware products. Although there were pedestrians, there were definitely not many.

along the way.

Chen Lusi saw three passers-by.

The three passers-by deliberately avoided the side where Chen Lusi and others were walking.

"I guess he heard about what happened last night."

Wu You noticed Chen Lusi observing the environment, smiled, and explained, "After all, this isn't a large supermarket. There are a lot of people there. As long as one person chooses to watch, the others will follow suit. No matter what happens, they won't be too scared."

"But in a remote place like this, it's not necessarily the same... After hearing about something like that, the first thing the surrounding residents would do is definitely not to come and watch, but to stay away. Joining in the fun also depends on the situation, right?"

"Ah."

Chen Lusi came back to his senses and responded.

While talking.

The three of them arrived at their destination.

Although there were no casualties, several police officers from the Public Security Bureau were still standing outside the alley.

After Wu You confirmed that there was no one nearby, he showed his credentials and walked in.

soon.

Chen Lusi saw the alley.

The alley is not very wide.

But it looked very long, as if there was no end in sight, because it was broad daylight... I couldn't even see the scenery inside. The buildings on both sides were not very tall, but the inside and the outside were like two different worlds.

The light that fell into the alley seemed to be swallowed by something.

The alley was pitch black.

“…It really isn’t going to be easy.”

Wu You glanced inside the alley, arms folded across his chest. "Should we wait here for a while until the person holding the black umbrella shows up? Or should we just go in?"

"Wait a moment."

Xia Panqiu pondered for a moment and replied, "At least we need to know what we are dealing with."

"Row."

Wu You responded and then looked at Chen Lusi.

Chen Lusi opened his mouth and was about to agree, but before he could say anything.

Suddenly, there were soft footsteps coming from the alley.

"..."

Chen Lusi immediately looked towards the alley.

Wu You and Xia Panqiu also turned their heads suddenly.

blah blah-

The footsteps are getting closer.

It sounds like they are wearing leather shoes.
