At 9:05 in the morning, in an alley diagonally opposite the Hunters Guild.
After confirming that no one was following Long Yuehong, she ran in cautiously and said to Bai Chen who was hiding in the corner:
"You can go to the guild to pick up the task."
Bai Chen took off the beret on his head and the mask on his face, and pulled the gray scarf:
"it is good."
She felt that it was necessary to cooperate with the investigation, clear the suspicion, and ask the guild to cancel the mission. Otherwise, waves of relic hunters would come to her, which would be really annoying and would bring unnecessary danger.
The only thing she couldn't understand was why Long Yuehong insisted on doing reconnaissance first and then going to the hall, it wasn't Longtan Tiger's Den.
But since the newcomer assigned by the company has such a sense of caution, it is still worth encouraging.
Accompanying Bai Chen out of the alley, Long Yuehong urged:
"When someone asks you, touch your pocket every minute."
Bai Chen said with a slight smile:
"Do you really believe in that crazy guy?"
The guy who rented across from them had a handsome face, but he looked like a lunatic.
But then again, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't find anything when he touched it later, Bai Chen would still believe that he had a little paper folded star in his pocket.
But even so, after thinking about what the guy said, wait for someone to ask and touch it. If you touch it, it means you are dreaming. Bai Chen is not so sure that there is really no paper folding little star.
She has also encountered and heard some miraculous things being said, especially involving the Awakened.
It seems that I still believe this matter subconsciously... Bai Chen didn't think much about it, and entered the guild hall first before a few relic hunters approached.
When she got inside, she was not in such a hurry, and looked up at the scrolling and synchronous broadcast content on the big screen:
"Mission: Find the suspect in Eugene's disappearance.
"Description: A man and a woman, the man is about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a navy blue down jacket and a baseball cap; the woman is about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a gray padded jacket and a baseball cap...
"Remuneration: As long as it passes the review and is confirmed to be valid, the minimum for a clue is 10 Ole, and the maximum is 500 Ole.
"Task level: C, 100 credit points.
"… "
Immediately afterwards, Bai Chen saw his photo on the big screen:
"Mission: Find Bai Chen, the relic hunter.
"Description: Female, formerly known as Qian Bai and Bai Feng, involved in the disappearance of Eugene, about 1.6 meters tall, with short hair, see the photo for details.
"Remuneration: For those who provide clues, 5 ores for each valid clue, and 20 for those who bring Bai Chen to the guild or the headquarters of the city defense army.
"Mission level: E, 10 credit points."
Really looking for me... Bai Chen looked around and noticed a man in a dark black tweed coat looking at him.
She had seen this relic hunter before, and heard Long Yuehong mention his name just now, and knew that he was "senior hunter" Odick.
Bai Chen withdrew his gaze indifferently, walked to a window in the round platform area, and said calmly:
"I'll take the mission."
"Which task?" the female clerk at the window asked instinctively.
According to their work rules, the relic hunter who came over cannot be directly asked to operate on the machine next to them. The reminder must be completed after this service is completed.
"Looking for the relic hunter Bai Chen." Bai Chen didn't feel weird about saying his name at all.
"Okay, please give me the hunter badge." The clerk said with a smile.
She took the badge, swiped it, and was suddenly stunned.
After a few seconds, she raised her head slightly and looked out through the glass:
"You, Bai Chen?"
The hunter's name registered by Bai Chen was Qian Bai, but Eugene provided his real name.
"Yes." Bai Chen was quite calm, "Take the opportunity to make a fortune."
It took a while for the clerk to respond:
"Then I will directly give you the choice task has been completed
"Also, please wait here for a while, and I will report."
Bai Chen said directly:
"It's best to let someone who can make a decision come over and let me cooperate with the investigation to meet my conditions."
Of course the clerk couldn't agree to her directly, picked up the phone on the table and reported the matter.
Not long after, a tall and thin man, surrounded by several bodyguards, came to the hall and walked towards Bai Chen.
His hair is sparser, but still jet-black, with wrinkles around the corners of his eyes, around his mouth, and on his forehead. The most obvious feature is his larger nose.
"I'm Cui En, the vice president of the guild." The tall and thin man nodded and introduced himself.
Then he said quite politely:
"Ms. Bai Chen, don't be nervous, the city defense army is just looking for you to assist in the investigation."
Bai Chen said to himself:
"I have two conditions:
"First, I don't worry about them, you know, there have been many places where the real murderer can't be found, just drag a few scapegoats and forcibly identify them as the murderer. Therefore, I only accept questions here in the guild and cooperate with the investigation. .
"Secondly, I still have tasks to complete, and I have to make money to survive. Time is running out, please hurry up."
The purpose of the Hunter Guild has always been to serve hunters, facilitate hunters, and become a home for hunters in a sense. Regardless of whether this is really realized or not, at least in public, no guild executive dares to deny it, and Cui En is no exception.
In addition, the local Hunter Guild has a special relationship with the City Lord's Mansion. Bai Chen's request was easily satisfied. Cui En pondered for a while and said with a smile:
"Can.
"Don't worry, as long as you haven't done it, the guild will not watch you get wronged."
The latter sentence, Cui En said so loudly that the surrounding ruin hunters could hear it.
With the promise of the vice president in charge of hunter affairs, Bai Chen felt relieved and followed him up the second floor into a small room.
There is only one rectangular table, with a back chair on each side.
Bai Chen sat on the inside and reached out his hand subconsciously, trying to reach into his pocket.
She forcibly controlled her impulse and laughed at herself silently:
"I was really influenced by that nagging guy..."
To this day, I still believe that a little paper folded star will suddenly appear in my pocket.
She waited for a while, and Cui En came in with a bodyguard and said apologetically:
"The city defense army called back and said that they wouldn't be able to send someone over until the afternoon.
"You can do your own business first, and come back later, how about it?"
"Even if you are not afraid of me running away, I have to worry about other ruin hunters harassing me. Let's solve this matter as soon as possible." Bai Chen was quite insistent and frank.
Trien thought for a moment:
"Then I'll communicate again and try to be responsible by the people on our side."
In essence, there is no difference, everyone is serving the City Lord's Mansion.
Bai Chen nodded and waited quietly.
After about a quarter of an hour, Cui En returned to this room and said with a smile:
"After coordination, we will find a professional and credible person to be responsible for follow-up inquiries and investigations."
After speaking, he introduced the man next to him:
"This is 'Senior Hunter' Odick, one of his nicknames is 'Poe Detector', and no lie can hide from him."
The black-haired and blue-eyed Odick nodded lightly as a greeting.
Seeing that the person who asked had arrived, Bai Chen remembered Long Yuehong's advice, instinctively raised his hand and put it on the edge of his pocket.
At this time, Cui En had led the bodyguard out and closed the door.
Bai Chen took the opportunity to stuff his hands into his pockets.
The next second, her pupils dilated a little.
She touched an origami object!
She really found an origami item in her pocket!
She checked before she went out!
This means... I'm dreaming? Corresponding memories emerged, and Bai Chen suddenly got rid of a slightly confused state, and found that he was walking out of the door of the "Today" nightclub with Long Yuehong, and there seemed to be a vicious stare from Eugene behind him.
In a dream... Bai Chen's heart moved, but he didn't show the slightest abnormality. He re-enacted the scene in his memory and walked back to the building where the "Afu Gun Store" was located in silence.
Then, she entered her room and lay on the top bunk of the bunk bed, staring at the ceiling in pain.
In this way, she fell asleep at some point. When she woke up and had breakfast, Long Yuehong walked into the room and told her that the guild had a mission and that a relic hunter was looking for her, and asked her to do some disguise when she went out.
During this process, Bai Chen deliberately omitted the rambunctious guy and prevented him from participating in the scene.
Boom, boom, boom... Suddenly, Bai Chen woke up when he heard a knock on the door.
She found herself still in the small room of the Hunters Guild.
Odick had sat opposite her at some point, put away his fingers that knocked on the table, and said calmly with his blue eyes:
"You fell asleep.
"Did you get entangled in Eugene's affairs last night and couldn't sleep after tossing and turning?"
"Yes, I wish I could kill him, but I have no ability, so I am afraid of him to the point of trembling." Bai Chen said calmly.
She has a clear conscience.
Odick looked at her for a few seconds, then nodded lightly:
"You didn't lie."
He turned and asked a few more questions, all of which were answered without concealment.
Bai Chen even took off the scarf and showed him the female slave tattoo on his neck.
This made Bai Chen feel a little strange in her heart, because she usually didn't want others to see this, but she did it quite naturally today.
Her explanation for this was to get rid of suspicion as soon as possible.
"I can understand your pain and fear." Odyk said nonsense, then got up and said, "You can leave."
"So fast?" Bai Chen was quite surprised.
Odick simply responded:
"Because you didn't lie."
Bai Chen didn't get to the bottom of it, he stood up and left the room.
Back in the lobby on the first floor, she, who received 20 Ole banknotes and 10 credit points, reunited with Long Yuehong, who was still a "novice hunter", walked out of the guild hall, and turned towards the central square.
On the way, Bai Chen met the rambunctious guy and his companions who lived opposite.
When the two sides were about to pass by, Shang Jianyao smiled, took out a nameplate, and gestured on his chest covertly.
It was a nameplate with gold letters on a red background.
It says:
"Pan ancient creatures"
As soon as Bai Chen saw this nameplate, it seemed as if the circuit of memory was connected, and things about Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian rushed back to her mind.
She clenched her teeth tightly, preventing herself from showing any abnormality.
After the two sides had drawn a distance, she moved the corner of her mouth slightly and raised her hand to cover the slightly red eyes.
It feels so good to have company.
