pretend to be a boss

Chapter 137 Untitled
39 Bastion ground floor.

Liu Lang's blacksmith shop has been deserted recently, and the people at the bottom are in a state of panic.

It is one thing for a large number of people to go missing, but it is another thing for patrols to come and search from house to house every now and then.

This situation has been going on for nearly a month.

When people panic, the efficiency of mining becomes lower.

I can often hear some mining team leaders come to Liu Lang to complain and complain, and Liu Lang just smiles.

After all, he was released not long ago.

Because of the devil boy invasion at the bottom, many old miners who had friendship with someone were taken for questioning. Until an incident more than 20 days ago, everyone was released again.

But Liu Lang was no less familiar with the bottom layer than Tang Xian, so he still noticed some things.

Many old miners have disappeared.Some of these miners knew Tang Xian, while others had never met Tang Xian at all.

In the patrol team, they are no longer all regular troops like in the past, and the trial knights wrapped in bronze skin are very conspicuous.

Summer is coming to an end, although the four seasons are not known in the fortress, Liu Lang still has a premonition that there will be an eventful autumn.

Looking outside today, even the Fallen Street opposite was quiet, and he knew that business was getting harder and harder.

Liu Lang smoked a cigarette, but his mood was still optimistic. After staying for a short time, he returned to his blacksmith shop.

In the forging room of the blacksmith shop, there is actually a secret room.

The main thing is to put some weird things, which are some parts that Liu Lang usually does when he has nothing to do.Rings, katanas, scepters, golden statues, etc., they probably thought of what to do.

This secret room was made very concealed, hidden behind the furnace wall. Even after several previous searches, Liu Lang's secret room was not found.

Liu Lang and Tang Xian had similar experiences, and both had extremely high cultural scores in the survival test. Of course, he did not exaggerate to get full marks in the test.

But the scores of all subjects are not low.It's just that he doesn't have talent, and there is a way out for such a talent in the Heaven's Choice Trial.

If Tang Xian didn't get full marks in the test, but made some mistakes on purpose, maybe Tang Xian still has a good life now.

Of course, the difference in hierarchical environment is not important to Tang Xian.

Liu Lang was able to develop on the third floor, and many design companies were interested in him.

He also readily accepted, stayed on the third floor, and chose a local self-employed enterprise.

It was only after reaching the third floor that Liu Lang discovered a very cruel thing.

No matter how good he is in the company and how professional he is, no one will think highly of him.

Because there is no talent.

Even a subordinate with only one talent would often look at Liu Lang with disdain.

This kind of disdain is like the deep-seated contempt that some city locals have for foreigners or people of different skin colors.

Liu Lang is not affected by this anger, his life is just like his name.

He quit the job that many people at the bottom envied, and went to the bottom.

The ground floor is chaotic, and people are beaten every day for inexplicable reasons.

Just like in the previous Xiangjia casino, there was a strange masked man who didn't know the reason, and without saying a word, slapped the person in charge of the casino a few times, and then flew away after smashing the place.

There is a lot of this unprovoked confusion.

But Liu Lang is very adaptable.

Compared with the orderly but indifferent life on the third floor, Liu Lang's life on the bottom floor is flourishing.

Although the blacksmith's shop is small, it is a rare place where few people come to make trouble, and the business can't be said to be very hot, but it can definitely make a living.

He doesn't need to go to the mining area to dig, and can live by his craft.

The most important thing is that all the people here have no talent.Everyone, regardless of high or low, speaks according to their ability.

After returning from house arrest in Li Mansion, Liu Lang made some improvements to the secret room.

Because after that, he met someone who shouldn't have anything to do with him at all.

Li Xiaoyu.

The clever Liu Lang quickly thought of something.

First, my group was released, and then the visa was relaxed.

Then the patrols at the bottom were stepped up, and there were major searches almost every day.

Then, when he saw the second young lady of the Li family who was in a mess, Liu Lang thought of a certain possibility.

He still remembered what Li Xiaoyu said to himself.

Like a serious gambler, when he is desperate, he puts all his eggs in one basket.

"I have investigated all of Tang Xian's contacts in the past six years. There are 26 temporary workers who can be called friendly, and there are five bosses from all walks of life on Degenerate Street.

Among them, Luo Liuyan and you are the most compatible with him.But you are different from Luo Liuyan, at least my people didn't bribe you later, I want to ask you something, you'd better answer me honestly. "

"You ask." Liu Lang was still at a loss at that moment.

"Is Tang Xian still your friend?"

Liu Lang smiled, seeing this girl struggling to endure, also reminded him of his family's appearance when he was a child.

Judging from Li Xiaoyu's clothing, physical condition, and some dirt on her body, this girl went to the mining area.

And her condition is very bad, although the words are coherent, her breathing is extremely short.

Why did the honorable Miss Li Er go to the mining area, and why she was in such a mess.

After these thoughts flashed through Liu Lang's mind, he became more convinced of his deduction.

"Of course Tang Xian is my friend. If you want to say who I can chat with the most at the bottom, it is him."

After hearing this sentence, Li Xiaoyu only said two words - help me.

Then passed out.

Liu Lang didn't find it troublesome.

At this time, handing over the unconscious Miss Li Er to the Li family, the reward in exchange is probably something he would not be able to earn in a few lifetimes.

But Liu Lang still hid Li Xiaoyu in the secret room.

The girl suffered some injuries, but they were not serious, but she was in a state of nervous tension for a long time, and after she passed out suddenly, her physical condition also declined.

Liu Lang was sure that Li Xiaoyu was really desperate, and his mind began to lose consciousness due to injuries and exhaustion.

In the end she made an unwise gamble.

Fortunately, by God's blessing, even if this smart woman bet in the end, she chose the one with the most chance of winning.

In the blink of an eye, it was three days.

Li Xiaoyu's physical strength quickly recovered.She didn't feel unaccustomed to living in Liu Lang's secret room.

During these three days, Li Xiaoyu did not go to the mining area, but just quietly recovered.

In addition, Li Xiaoyu also asked Liu Lang for a detailed topographic map of the ground floor.During this period of time, the bottom layer was almost thoroughly studied.

Liu Lang didn't ask too many questions, the two had a tacit understanding
In the next few days, his body finally recovered, and Li Xiaoyu began to travel frequently between the mining area and the pyramid.

Every time Liu Lang sees Li Xiaoyu coming back, he only asks one question:
"Who did you find?"

Li Xiaoyu didn't hide it either, as if he directly inherited Tang Xian's connections, he and Liu Lang were like friends for many years.

Two weeks ago, Li Xiaoyu found Dongran.

A week and a half ago, Li Xiaoyu contacted Qiao Shanshan again.

But most of the time, Li Xiaoyu's answer was just shaking his head silently.

It was not until three days ago that Li Xiaoyu found Akas and Tang Suoye.

After Tang Xian disappeared, Shuhai's wooden house was quickly destroyed.

Sheng Tang's team members are also missing.

Li Xiaoyu is like another captain of Sheng Tang's team, or the hostess of the tree sea wooden house.

During Tang Xian's absence, she brought back those scattered throughout the mining area one by one.

Liu Lang didn't ask about the process.

He probably knows all about the unimaginable harshness and danger that a girl with two talents can experience in the mining area.

In my heart, I admire this girl who doesn't talk much.

……

……

"Who did you find?"

After smoking, Liu Lang opened the door of the secret room and asked Li Xiaoyu when he saw that he was awake.

"It's all found, and he's the only one missing."

Liu Lang knew who he was, so he didn't ask this question again, but said:
"Why not consider contacting them in the pyramid?"

Li Xiaoyu shook his head and said:

"Just like you, they were all under house arrest in Li Mansion. For some reason, although you were released, I know my father's methods. Whether Dongran or Qiao Shanshan, including you, Luo Liuyan, Those miners are all under surveillance."

"Although we have finally met in the mining area, in the pyramid, everyone has to separate. Live as usual, don't show any abnormalities, and don't go to places you shouldn't go."

Liu Lang nodded, agreeing to Li Xiaoyu's arrangement.

"How long will you stay this time?"

"I'm just coming back to confirm the information, and I'll leave in two hours, after ten hours."

Liu Lang said: "The things you asked me to ask before have reached the ears of that person. He said that he will investigate."

After a few seconds of silence, Li Xiaoyu nodded and said:
"I see."

After the battle on the Jopela Plain started, everyone knew that there would be a large number of hunters and regular soldiers sacrificed,

But for the people at the bottom, they are just producers of war consumables, not fighters.

It's just that low-level people are missing frequently these days.About a week ago, Liu Lang mentioned this matter casually, but Li Xiaoyu was very concerned.

In order for Tang Xian to return to this world, the pyramid must be proven wrong.

To expose the most evil part of this prison.

For this reason, Li Xiaoyu also calculated all aspects, and finally locked his eyes on the Judgment Knight.

But this matter, with her current ability to investigate, it is impossible to find out why.

In front of Li Xiaoyu, there are two choices, contact Li Zheng, or contact Song Que.

After escaping from Le Mansion, Li Xiaoyu also learned that for a few days, it was very easy to apply for a visa from Fort 39. In addition, it was several days after he left that the patrols on the ground floor and even every floor became tighter.

Li Xiaoyu didn't think that Li Xiaonian could hide it for so long, so he quickly thought of a reasonable explanation, and Li Xiaonian persuaded Li Zheng to help him.

Because of this, she wanted to ask Li Zheng to investigate this matter. The Judgment Knight belongs to the Li family, and Li Zheng is the future head of the family.

So it was appropriate for Li Zheng to investigate.

But the final decision deviated greatly from expectations.

Li Xiaoyu did not choose Li Zheng, but asked Liu Lang to contact Song Que.

She is moved by family affection, but most of the time she is calm like a machine.

The elder brother will occasionally be emotional, but if it touches on the core interests of the family, if the father will suffer a loss of reputation, the elder brother will most likely change his decision to help his father.

So she chose Song Que because Tang Xian believed in Song Que.

This simple logic seems tinged with some sort of fanatical superstition.

But it can help you save yourself from danger.

Such as Liu Lang, such as Song Que.

Li Xiaoyu asked: "Did Song Que say anything else?"

Knowing what Li Xiaoyu meant, Liu Lang shook his head and said:

"He didn't ask who I was, nor where you were. He was very modest, he just said he would investigate himself."

Li Xiaoyu was slightly stunned, realizing that he was not as good as Tang Xian after all.

Originally, he hated Song Que very much because of the marriage, so disgusted that even his friends would not hesitate to do it.

But now she found that Song Que was really a friend worth making.

No wonder Tang Xian went to see Song Que at the ball that day.

"Let him investigate. I trust him. Boss Liu, you have to be careful. If the disappearance of people at the bottom is really related to what I think, then there will probably be a large number of people missing in the future."

"I see, you go and rest. I'll go outside the shop to look at the shop."

"Okay, thank you."

Looking at Li Xiaoyu's appearance, Liu Lang couldn't imagine that this was the female devil who made Luo Liu's eyes tremble whenever he mentioned it.

He closed the door of the secret room, returned to the shop, and continued to pass the time leisurely.

But not long after, Liu Lang heard a lot of movement from the opposite street.

Liu Lang frowned.Patrol in the morning, come again in the afternoon?
He had a bad feeling in his heart.

Walking out of the shop, Liu Lang looked at the Fallen Street opposite, and then his eyes widened.

A large group of regular troops was coming from Fallen Street.Behind this group of well-equipped regular troops, there are twelve trial knights.

These bronze-skinned humanoid combat units, the huge engine sound when walking makes it difficult to ignore it.

Liu Lang had never seen such a battle before.

He immediately became vigilant when he saw this large group of teams passing by Fallen Street without any action.

Immediately above the ground floor, the huge ceiling began to flash red lights.

The ground floor is the largest floor of the fortress, but the sound of the alarm suddenly spread to every corner of the ground floor.

Liu Lang hurried back to the forging room of the blacksmith shop, and opened the door of the secret room.

Li Xiaoyu in the secret room also heard the alarm.

"This is not a normal patrol, Miss Li, you must have been exposed. Go!"

Li Xiaoyu also didn't expect this sudden accident.

"Come on, leave from the back door!" Liu Lang led the way, hurrying.

The streets adjacent to Fallen Street are arranged in the shape of a well. If you go out from the main entrance of the blacksmith's shop, Li Xiaoyu will definitely be found.

Without hesitation, Li Xiaoyu picked up the portable crack and prepared to flee.

"what would you do?"

"My life is cheap, and the worst thing is that I will be invited to the sixth floor to serve you. As long as you are not here, they have no evidence. You should leave quickly! The streets and alleys on the ground floor are complicated. You can survive for two hours without being discovered! "

Feeling the increasingly clear sound of the engine in the distance, Li Xiaoyu nodded.

Xin said that in the future, he must repay the kindness of the blacksmith shop owner.

But when Li Xiaoyu walked out the back door, he was suddenly stopped by the scene in front of him.

The sound of the alarm hit the ears overwhelmingly,
In the back alley of the blacksmith shop, a large group of guards also rushed over.

She stood firmly outside the door, with no way out.
