Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi pushed the door open and entered.
"The shop is closed. If you want to buy something, do it early tomorrow!"
Akaia, who was cleaning up the counter, said without looking up.
Bai Xiaowen took a step forward and smiled. "I'm here to make a deal."
Hearing this familiar voice, Akaia suddenly looked up, his eyes showing a trace of surprise. "It's you? You should have found the Crow Organization. "
A yellow talisman suddenly appeared in Bai Xiaowen's hand, and he inserted it between Akaia's eyebrows.
Spiritual World Rule Notification:
"Warning: You are attempting to attack Akaia, a legal resident of Hodge Town. Your actions will lead to unpredictable consequences."
Bai Xiaowen's movements only paused for a moment, then returned to normal.
At the same time, in Black Water Alley.
Just as Bai Xiaowen used the Confusion Talisman, Joshua, who was at the Crow Organization's headquarters in Black Water Alley, suddenly fell to the ground, causing a panic.
"Joshua fell?"
"Strange, it doesn't look like he fell … it looks like he's dead?"
"This despicable and shameless guy died just in time. How satisfying."
From the backyard, Ji De walked out. "What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of my way! "
Ji De was a Level-7 Elite, and Bai Xiaowen was supporting him from behind, which increased his prestige. The other members all bowed their heads and avoided him.
Ji De's pupils shrank when he saw Joshua lying dead in the crowd. He quickly walked two steps, squatted down, and checked Joshua's breathing.
"How is this possible?" Ji De was terrified, then he gritted his teeth and quickly peeled off Joshua's clothes to check his body, but he didn't find any injuries.
"It must be that person just now."
"That's right. Other than him, who else has this kind of ability?"
The whispers of the people next to him made Ji De fearful. He could only attribute Joshua's strange death to Bai Xiaowen. The key was that Joshua didn't have any betrayal, so how did he anger Bai Xiaowen?
Or was Bai Xiaowen a cold-blooded person who killed people like flies, and his mood was unpredictable? Those who oppose me will die, and those who obey me will live?
For a moment, Ji De even thought of abandoning everything and running for his life.
"This might be a spell from the Poison Sect. That man has the Poison Sect's modified giant corpse, and he's also looking for information about the Poison Sect. He must be related to the Poison Sect."
"I've heard that the Poison Sect's incantations are very bizarre. Once they're cast, they'll be able to take the target's life, no matter how far away they are."
"I think Joshua isn't the only one who's been cursed …"
Ji De's face turned gloomy when he heard those words. He stood up and reprimanded, "Nonsense! Qiao Shuya was obviously killed because of his incompetence. Don't you want to work hard for the Lord and prove your worth? Do you want to follow in Qiao Shuya's footsteps? "
The others were also frightened by his words. One of them said, "We don't even know that Lord's name, and we don't have his orders. How are we supposed to do anything?"
"Even if Milord didn't give the order, we should think of a way to take the initiative to attack!" Ji De gritted his teeth and said, "I remember that apart from investigating the Poison Sect, my lord is also very concerned about the missing persons cases. Let's start from this point and think about how we can help my lord!"
… …
Bai Xiaowen didn't care about the reactions of Ji De and the others. He didn't even know that his unintentional action caused Qiao Shuya's death in Black Water Alley, and that it had become a death example for all the members of the Crow Organization.
The main reason was that the Crow Organization was relatively weak and didn't know anything about missing persons cases. Bai Xiaowen didn't spend much effort on them.
Right now, Bai Xiaowen's main focus was on Akaia, who was in front of him.
Akaia's eyes were lifeless, and his actions were mechanical. Obviously, he had been successfully bewitched by Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen quickly flipped through Akaia's memory fragments. A minute later, he opened his eyes.
"Fortunately, the mistake I made earlier wasn't fatal. Or rather … the Poison Sect's secret base isn't as vigilant as I expected. I now know where the Poison Sect's base is. Let's talk as we walk. "
While looking through the list of materials that the Poison Sect's Corpse Monster had brought to Black Water Alley, Bai Xiaowen suddenly thought of something. The place where the Poison Sect's leader lived was definitely very close to Black Water Alley.
Otherwise, it was hard to imagine that a Poison Sect's Corpse Monster would swagger through more than half of the town. It would be strange if it didn't attract the attention of the public security officers and patrols.
Since it was close to Black Water Alley, Bai Xiaowen narrowed down the scope of his thoughts. As the only shop on this street that sold alchemy items, Akaia's Cauldron smoothly entered Bai Xiaowen's field of vision.
Bai Xiaowen was certain that the Poison Sect's secret base was definitely related to Akaia's Cauldron Shop. Moreover, there was a huge connection. Since the Poison Sect's Corpse Monster didn't mind searching for materials from underground organizations, then it definitely wouldn't mind coming to the only alchemy shop on this street to buy some necessary alchemy tools.
And when the greedy owner Akaia asked about the local secret religious place, he didn't even want to earn gold coins. It was abnormal that he didn't know anything. However, at that time, Bai Xiaowen's attention was still focused on the main mission. After obtaining the information about the Crow Organization, he chose to leave. It could be said that he neglected this point.
Therefore, Bai Xiaowen thought that he had made a mistake.
Thinking about it, if Akaia was vigilant enough, he might have sensed some unfavorable factors from Bai Xiaowen's questions and sent a message to the Poison Sect's members. If the Poison Sect's members were alerted, then it would be troublesome.
If the other party received the news in advance and was prepared for battle, then it wouldn't be scary. Bai Xiaowen was confident that he could complete an A-rank elite mission in a head-on confrontation. But if the other party directly admitted defeat and chose to run, then he would have to gather information again.
And according to Akaia's memory fragments, he didn't choose to warn the Poison Sect's secret stronghold. When Bai Xiaowen left the shop and went to Black Water Alley, he stayed in his shop the whole time.
This was where the Poison Sect's vigilance wasn't strong enough. It was also an important reason why Bai Xiaowen's mistake didn't affect the situation.
Although this mistake didn't affect the situation, Bai Xiaowen still did some self-reflection. Directly asking the owner Akaia, whose identity was unknown, about the "secret religious place" was a bit too reckless.
After listening to Bai Xiaowen's explanation, Li Shuyi said with relief, "This mistake … You think it's a mistake, but I don't think so. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have thought that there was a problem with this shop. "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. The corner of his mouth slightly curled, revealing a playful smile.
Li Shuyi just happened to look up and saw the smile. He immediately complained, "What are you laughing at? It feels like you're mocking me, a mortal with a low IQ. You're so hateful."
"No, if you have a low IQ, then there won't be anyone with a high IQ," Bai Xiaowen hurriedly clarified, and at the same time changed the topic, "The battle is about to start. Although the opponents are few in number, probably only one or two, they should be very strong. In this world of the Blacktide Bitwall, the overall level of the characters is very high. Be careful."
When the Crow Organization killed Boss Benny, the Wrath Claw's ultimate skill, Li Shuyi's weapon skills, and the explosive skill of his accessory had all been used. In the next few hours, their combat strength would drop by a level.
However, this was something that couldn't be helped. Level 8 Elite Benny had close to 500 HP. It wasn't easy to kill him, especially when he had the invisibility skill. If they didn't decisively use the explosive skill to kill him and let the other members of the Crow Organization besiege them, it would be more dangerous. They would often have to pay a high price to escape, and they might not even be able to find clues about the Voodoo Sect.
The Crow Organization looked weak, but after all, it was an underground organization with hundreds of people. To catch the bandits, first catch the leader, quickly kill Benny, and frighten the others. This was the wisest choice.
Hearing Bai Xiaowen talk about serious matters, Li Shuyi quickly nodded. She adjusted her breathing so that it was as light as a leopard. She followed behind Bai Xiaowen and took a detour into the backyard of Aquaia's Cauldron.
In the backyard, there was a hidden cellar. Because of the memory fragments, Bai Xiaowen easily found the entrance to the cellar and opened the lid.
Suddenly, an unpleasant smell wafted out.
"It seems that the source of the sewage and stench that permeates the entire street is here." Bai Xiaowen muttered to himself. Then, he followed the stairs leading down to the cellar and walked in step by step.
After walking down about 40 to 50 steps, Bai Xiaowen finally arrived at the bottom of the cellar. He looked up and saw an empty space in front of him.
"Oh my god …" Li Shuyi exclaimed in the team channel. "Did they hollow out the entire street? This is practically an underground hall! "
"It's better to call it the Voodoo Sect's Underground Research Institute," Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and observed the structure of the underground hall in the dim light.
There were wall lamps on the four walls of the hall, and whale oil candles were burning. Sealed boxes were placed on the floor, emitting a cold aura, like coffins.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi slowly walked to the end of the hall.
In the deepest part of the hall, there was a spacious experiment table. Strong, stitched zombies stood against the wall. However, their eyes were closed and they were motionless.
"Hello, foolish and bold strangers."
Suddenly, a slightly muffled voice sounded.
Li Shuyi looked around. His hands were already on the hilt of his sword. However, he did not find the source of the voice. The voice was very strange. It seemed to be coming from right in front of him, but it also seemed to be coming from all directions.
"Hello, crazy Voodoo Sect member."
Bai Xiaowen's slender hand gently grasped Li Shuyi's wrist. His steady hand calmed Li Shuyi down.
"Hahahaha … Correction, I'm not a Voodoo Sect member. I'm just an alchemist from the Voodoo Sect. Of course, in front of foolish mortals like you, I'm God. "
"People who call themselves God will never realize how big the gap is between them and God," Bai Xiaowen said with narrowed eyes.
"Hmph, according to the code of the Church of Light, God created all things. In my opinion, the method of creating all things is not advanced. Through alchemy, I can turn stones into gold, fish eyes into pearls, and gravel into diamonds … I'm not fundamentally different from God. "
Hearing this, Bai Xiaowen quickly determined that this Voodoo Sect alchemist should be a late-stage chuunibyou patient.
However, Bai Xiaowen increased the speed of his mental search. On the surface, he was still talking nonsense with this chuunibyou alchemist. "You're wrong. Everything you do is just 'transformation'. It's fundamentally different from God's' creation '. Most importantly, God was able to create humans and create living beings. Can you do that? Don't use these rotting corpses in your laboratory to make up the numbers. "
"Hmph! Foolish and ignorant mortals. In my opinion, God's creation is nothing special. "The chuunibyou alchemist was probably hit on his sore spot. He said angrily," I've already made a preliminary breakthrough. I can give a stitched body some thinking ability! In the future, I'll definitely be able to create life and reach the realm of God! "
"You've finally admitted that you're not God." Bai Xiaowen was the best at seizing the gaps in a conversation.
The alchemist's voice paused for a while.
However, this alchemist was obviously not stupid. He quickly realized that Bai Xiaowen's goal was to provoke him. As the saying went, if two people quarreled, the serious one would lose. He tried his best to lighten his tone. "At least, in front of a mortal like you, my ability can already be considered a miracle. Also, don't bother using your mental search. Your mental power level is far inferior to mine. You won't be able to find me. "
"Is that so?"
Bai Xiaowen suddenly changed the topic. With a raise of his hand, the tall chubby voodoo stitched body appeared. He aimed at one of the giant modified corpses in the corner and threw a chain! After a clattering sound, the tip of the chain pierced through the giant modified corpse's stomach. Then, a clear sound of metal clashing could be heard!
The meat hook skill was activated, and an oval-shaped sphere was dragged out.
Crack!
The oval-shaped sphere cracked from the middle, and a short old man less than 1.5 meters tall fell out from it. Fatty's meat hook was also retracted with a clatter.
"How did you find me?" The old man's face was full of surprise.
"Guess?" Bai Xiaowen quickly used Insight on the old man.
