Chapter 200
but why?
Based on Liu Ji's usual impression of these kings, these guys don't seem to care about the working people.
"For some other reason?" Liu Ji frowned slightly and thought for a while, but felt he had no clue.
After all, he didn't know how that guy came all the way here during the day when he was completely unable to move.
And the tyrant didn't care about her?
Or did the tyrant throw her here on his own initiative?
Could it be that the plague that spreads the disaster plants was originally part of the tyrant's plan? But didn’t the plague have any impact on his army?
The city's defense level shouldn't be enough for him to drop a dirty bomb, right?
Or is it that he doesn't plan to expand for the time being, so he plans to cause some trouble for nearby countries?
But will the spreading plague really be better solved than the city's resistance? I'm afraid it's not possible, right?
I can’t figure it out, so let’s take a look around first.
Speaking of which, Liu Ji has something he cares about...
After looking around, he wandered two streets and found a restaurant that looked high-end. Liu Ji walked in.
"Hello sir," a Landwalker waiter immediately came over, "Do you have a reservation?"
"Sorry, can you say a spell?" Liu Ji said.
The waiter was stunned, then smiled again and replied with a spell: "Of course, do you have a reservation?"
"No," Liu Ji said, "Let's arrange a small room."
"Ah... that's okay," the waiter smiled and saluted, "Please come with me."
With that said, he led Liu Ji into the store.
While walking, Liu Ji was observing his surroundings.
There are all kinds of ethnic groups in the hotel, some are dressed luxuriously and formally, and some are dressed more casually, but it can be seen that they are all wealthy people.
Of course, after all, this is not a place that ordinary people can afford.
After entering the private room, the waiter handed over a menu.
The first few pages were customized set dishes, and the following were some a la carte items. Liu Ji didn't plan to stay too long, so he ordered two a la carte dishes, thought about it, and then asked: "By the way, do you have them here?" Nothing special?”
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Now if you order the seasonal special dishes, there will be special seasonal shrimps and Gillis beef..."
"That's not what I'm talking about," Liu Ji interrupted, "You should understand, it's something more special, such as... some kind of red..."
The waiter's eyes immediately widened and he shouted sternly: "Sir! Please pay attention to what you are saying! Hong Jing is expressly prohibited by the lord..."
"...Boston lobster, huh?" Liu Ji blinked, "What, what crystal?"
"Ah?" The waiter was stunned, "Uh, eh? Boston lobster... what is that?"
"Don't you know about Boston lobster?" Liu Ji frowned, "It's a top-quality lobster with claws as big as a palm and a sweet and chewy sashimi. Don't you have it here?"
"Uh... no, sorry, we haven't heard of this ingredient here..." the waiter said with some confidence, "but I can ask the chef..."
"None of these? Forget it," Liu Ji let out a long sigh, "What is the most expensive shrimp dish here? Just order one, preferably one with cultural heritage, and bring me a bottle of better classical style. Ice wine.”
"Uh...ok," the waiter bowed quickly and withdrew.
It can be seen that he seems to be very embarrassed because of his "misunderstanding".
However, I really don’t blame him. After all, Liu Ji deliberately tricked him.
"Sure enough, there are red crystals here, but they are officially banned..." Liu Ji touched his chin.
He had been thinking before that the outside world seemed to have never seen such a thing, but there was it in Kaga Holy City.
In this case, it is difficult not to suspect that the thing was dug out of the ground.
Or...could that thing have something to do with the Earthwalker?
And that thing seems to be used as a medium for some kind of mental control. Coupled with the prophecy that the Secret Sanctuary will perform sacrifices here, a series of messages are connected. Liu Ji always feels that there is a looming connection in it. As long as he finds it again A certain piece of information seems to connect everything together.
But what is missing...
Liu Ji thought slowly, and before he knew it, all the dishes in front of him were served.
Taking a pair of chopsticks from the magic space, Liu Ji continued to think while drinking wine and eating vegetables.
He couldn't tell the taste of the wine. After all, he hadn't drank for many years. His sudden desire to drink was just because he drank a lot during the period of his life when he lost his memory. Now he suddenly wanted to drink a little more.
As for the taste of the food, it was pretty good, especially the shrimp sashimi. In fact, Liu Ji had never eaten any Boston lobster, so he just said that casually, but the quality of the shrimp meat was in line with his image of the quality of high-end lobster. .
The wine and food tasted good, but it was a pity that Liu Ji's heart was not here. It looked like he was sitting here eating good wine and good food, but in fact a small group of dust was wandering in the city, searching for suspicious targets.
This is one of the little skills he has learned from Mass over the past month. Although he cannot control two selves at the same time, he can control a wisp of stray dust to inquire about the situation nearby while sitting still. Do it.
The dust passed through the prosperous streets, got into the deepest alleys, and kept swimming in the darkness of the city.
Although the trading of red crystals is officially prohibited here, the reaction of the waiter just now also shows that there are not no red crystals circulating in this city.
If there were no red crystals in circulation, ordinary people would not react so strongly to them.
In this case, there must be traces of the flow of these things in the dark corners of the city.
This is good, at least for Liu Ji.
He has always wanted to find out where the source of this thing is, but in the holy city of Kaga where red crystals are circulated throughout the region, not to mention that he was not free at the time, even if he was free, he would have no way to trace the source.
But in such a place, this thing must be in the dark, as long as a clue is found, it should not be too difficult to pull out the things behind it.
With this idea in mind, Liu Ji slowly ate the expensive food and wine while carefully searching the dark corners of the city.
When Liu Ji put the last piece of shrimp into his mouth, he knocked on the bell on the table and told the waiter who came hurriedly: "It tastes good, check out."
Not long after, the waiter brought the bill.
To be honest, it was ridiculously expensive.
Fortunately, Liu Ji was not short of money. Before he left, he took a lot of gold cards from Ya Yin, which he could not spend all in a short time.
Even if he spent all, he could still rob the rich to help the poor.
After paying the bill generously, Liu Ji walked out of the hotel with the half bottle of wine he had not finished. Turning around an alley, his figure slowly changed from a dignified and steady white outfit to a shabby plain robe. His originally steady walking style also became swaying, shaking the bottle and burping, staggering like a drunk.
Following the alleys in the dark part of the city, turning left and turning again, Liu Ji finally stopped in front of a dilapidated wooden door.
The breeze blew, and a wisp of sand on the ground wrapped around his legs and merged into his body.
After taking a sip of wine, Liu Ji swallowed his saliva, and then kicked the door.
There was a loud bang, and the whole door shattered.
Liu Ji stepped into the door, and in front of him was a staircase leading down.
"Hey? What's going on up there?" A sturdy man poked his head out from below.
Liu Ji turned his head to look at him, smiled foolishly, shook the wine in his hand at him, and asked, "Would you like a drink?"
"Tsk, where did this drunkard come from..." The sturdy man frowned immediately, and walked over to chase Liu Ji away, but when he looked closely, he saw that the wooden door was smashed to pieces by Liu Ji.
"Fuck you, are you crazy? Why are you smashing our door!" The sturdy man was immediately angry, and walked up with his fists, punching Liu Ji in the face.
However, Liu Ji dodged his attack with a strange dodge, and turned around to hit him in the arms. The sturdy man felt his center of gravity fall back, and then fell on the stairs, screaming and rolling to the bottom of the stairs.
Liu Ji staggered in front of him, raised the bottle of wine and poured it on his face.
The sturdy man was furious, and he cursed loudly, and stood up and punched Liu Ji.
Liu Ji was hit at that time, and he was knocked to the ground, his eyes rolled up, his legs kicked, and he was dead.
"Huh? He died so soon?" The sturdy man was stunned, and then he moved closer and poked Liu Ji.
Then there was a snap, and Liu Ji slapped him in the face.
The power was not strong, just enough to make him hurt.
Then Liu Ji pointed at his nose and laughed.
The sturdy man was almost mad, cursing, chasing Liu Ji for a while, punching and kicking.
Liu Ji did not fight back, and let him chase him, while he turned and ran into the door behind him.
"Hey! Fuck you!" The sturdy man immediately showed a horrified expression, and his anger became even worse, chasing Liu Ji and rushing in.
However, it was too late, Liu Ji had already rushed into the underground space.
As soon as he entered the door, the dazzling light of the light stone flashed on Liu Ji's face.
This is an underground tavern, with shining colored stones all over the sky, bright lights and wine, and girls in revealing clothes dancing under the lighting. Bugs living in the sewers are drinking and cheering here, and red crystals that are banned in the city can be seen everywhere here.
Seeing Liu Ji suddenly rushing in, everyone in the tavern was stunned for a while.
Then...
When the strong man chasing Liu Ji just rushed in, he saw a scene that he would never forget.
Liu Ji walked straight to a gangster thug, stretched out his hand, and slapped him in the face.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
In their opinion, this poor drunkard might not want to walk out of here alive today.
With a roar, several strong men rushed towards Liu Ji, punching and kicking him.
Liu Ji was beaten to the ground intermittently.
As for why it was intermittent, it was because he would get up from time to time and slap them, and then lie down again.
After a round of punching and kicking, Liu Ji was fine, but these strong men were exhausted and panting, and their faces were swollen from being beaten.
They supported their knees and stared at Liu Ji lying on the ground, their eyes wanted to spit fire, but they were already scared of being beaten, and they dared not move forward.
At this time, Liu Ji stood up by himself.
He looked around and then grinned.
Then, he raised his right hand and slapped each of the strong men in a circle with a spiral windmill.
The group of strong men was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, they were furious.
However, just as they tried to beat Liu Ji, a voice sounded behind them.
"Wait, stop first..."
The strong men were immediately stunned and looked at each other. Although they were unwilling to do so, they still retreated to the side.
Then, a man who looked quite old, wearing a black robe and holding a pure gold pipe came out.
He looked Liu Ji up and down, smiled, and said: "Boy, you have two skills, tell me, who do you belong to?"
Liu Ji raised his eyes and glanced at him, and asked in a deep voice with a curse: "Are you the boss here?"
The man raised his eyebrows and replied with a curse: "It's me, what?"
"Oh, haha, that's good," Liu Ji stood up unsteadily, "Ah, enough fun, let me ask again, are you not a spokesperson or a substitute?"
"Huh?" The man frowned, "Of course not."
Liu Ji looked around, then looked at the man, sneered, and said nothing.
The man glared, became a little angry, and roared: "Drunk maniac! Who the hell are you! Don't be so shameless!"
However, Liu Ji just looked at him with suspended eyes, then took two steps forward, raised his hand and slapped him in the face.
The man was stunned for a moment, then became furious and started to punch him.
But at this moment, another voice sounded from behind him.
"Okay, Baku, step back..."
The man was stunned, looked back, opened his mouth, and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he swallowed the words, said yes, and then stepped aside.
At this time, the strong men who had been blocking Liu Ji's sight finally found a way out, revealing the man behind him.
He was a burly old man. Although he was old, his exaggerated muscles were still as strong as a black bear. He had a cigarette in his mouth. He just looked quite oppressive, and he looked very calm and intimidating.
"Hmm... Sure enough, you are the boss here, right?" Liu Ji asked.
"It's me," the old man said in a deep voice, "Whose boy are you from? This way of saying hello is not very polite..."
"Say hello? No, you misunderstood," Liu Ji casually threw away the bottle in his hand, looked around, and then said, "Well, if we find the target, then these people will be useless."
