Chapter 173 The Increasingly Lively Underground Laboratory
"Okay, Captain!" Lin Qiye said with a smile, looking at his teammates sitting in their seats.
"Since you've been reassigned to our 136th squad, don't overthink it... Our squad doesn't have many rules, just be casual." Chen Muye looked at Liu Lang, Lei Yingdian, and Lin Qiye with a kind expression, then turned to Mavica and asked, "And this is?"
Chen Muye glanced at Hongying, his eyes fixed intently on Mavica.
Hongying knew immediately what the captain was going to ask, and explained the relationship between Liu Lang and the others and Mavica.
Wu Xiangnan exclaimed in shock, "So... you guys didn't come in last place in the training camp?"
"Why do you say that?" Lin Qiye asked curiously.
"If you weren't at the bottom, how could you have been assigned to our 136th squad... If you had done well in the training camp, you wouldn't have..." Wen Qimo blurted out his true thoughts.
"Wen Qimo!" Hongying glared at Wen Qimo, baring her teeth as if she was about to explode. "Didn't we agree?! Not to mention their performance in the training camp?!"
"This..." Wen Qimo covered his mouth with his hand, his eyes darting around as if he were trying to come up with an excuse. "Didn't the vice-captain bring it up first? I just said it offhand."
"Shonan old dog!!!"
Hongying's hostility was instantly drawn to Wu Xiangnan.
Wu Xiangnan said calmly, "Didn't you say that yourself?"
"When did I say that?"
"Just now..."
"Is there any?"
"Do you think Liu Lang is at what level?"
"The land of Sichuan!"
"What about Lin Qiye?"
"'Pool' realm, huh? So what?"
"You know that Lin Qiye is a representative of the gods, right? And he's an unprecedented representative of two gods."
"Ah."
"Then his strength definitely can't be judged from the perspective of a normal 'pool' realm. Plus what you just said... I guess their performance in the training camp won't be bad. Is there a problem?"
Hongying was a little unsure of herself. "It seems to make some sense."
"Think again about what level you're at right now?"
“The pool… the pool realm,” Hongying stammered.
Just then, Leng Xuan, who was sitting next to Si Xiaonan who was looking on with a gossipy expression, coldly said, "You guys are pretty good."
The temperature around the dining table dropped instantly, and even Hongying and Wu Xiangnan, who had been talking, stopped their conversation.
The atmosphere at the scene became unusually eerie.
The sound of the movie broke the eeriness.
"Thank you."
"Hey! I knew it! Half a year ago, Liu Lang's skill level had already reached the 'Chuan' realm! How could he only achieve good results in the training camp? We're just worrying unnecessarily!" Wen Qimo said with emotion.
"By the way, how are your grades going? Back in my day... when I was in the training camp..."
Just as Wen Qimo was about to continue speaking, Liu Lang's voice interrupted him.
"Seven Nights, my master, and I took the top three spots..."
"Oh, they swept the top three spots... Wait, what did you say? Are you sure I didn't mishear?"
The moment those words left his mouth, everyone in Squad 136, including Chen Muyi, was drawn to them.
Hongying patted Lin Qiye's shoulder in disbelief, "Qiye, your third sister trusts you the most... Tell me, is Liu Lang sure he's not talking nonsense?"
Although he had no doubts about what Liu Lang had said, after all, he had already reached the "Chuan" realm during the training camp.
This is extremely rare in the history of the Night's Watch; how could they possibly be at the bottom?
Being at the top is the norm.
But she still wanted to confirm it.
"Liu Lang is right," Lin Qiye nodded very honestly.
He could say that, apart from themselves, he knew Lei Yingdian and Liu Lang's behavior in the training camp better than they did.
Hongying took a deep breath. "Let me catch my breath..."
Chen Muyi looked at the freshly cooked dishes on the table and fell silent.
Although he could be called a genius in his youth as the owner of the [Black Impermanence] Forbidden Ruins, he was no match for the monstrous talents like Liu Lang, Lin Qiye, and Lei Yingdian, who defied common sense.
Chen Muyi felt that his title of "genius" was somewhat pale and powerless.
......
Just as everyone fell silent, Liu Lang suddenly asked curiously, "Captain, what does Master want with you?"
"I just asked about the situation at Jinan Mountain a few days ago, and then spent almost the entire afternoon drinking tea with Xiangnan," Chen Muye replied simply.
Hearing this, Lin Qiye didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he suddenly asked, "Brother Qimo, I heard you went to the east of the city this afternoon to deal with the 'mystery'? What did you find?"
“We don’t have a single clue.” Wen Qimo shrugged. “This morning someone reported that a body was found in the backyard of a tavern in the east of the city. The body died in the same way as the other three people who died this month, and even their expressions were the same.”
There was absolutely no pattern to be found; all we found was a video clip from a security camera.
During this time, Liu Lang had already explained the purpose of the camera to Mavica: "Wouldn't the whole process be recorded? Isn't that a clue?"
“If the case could be solved so quickly, the police wouldn’t have reported it to us as a case of supernatural intervention.” Wen Qimo, who had been joking around, spoke with a serious expression. “The footage only shows the victim; you can’t see who the murderer is at all.”
As Liu Lang listened, he suddenly recalled this scene from the original story.
The fifth one?
This seems to be a sacrificial ceremony, but Liu Lang isn't sure how many people need to be sacrificed.
"Alright, the food has been served for a while now... No matter who the person on the other end is, or if they're 'mysterious,' we're definitely going to catch them."
Let's not talk about that now, the food's getting cold.
Chen Muyi was the first to raise his glass, fill it to the brim, and then stand up and say with a smile, "Today, to celebrate Qiye, Ying, and Liu Lang officially joining Squad 136, cheers!"
"cheers!!"
After everyone finished their drinks, the atmosphere became a little more relaxed.
It was late at night after dinner.
Three figures slipped out of Hongying's villa.
Liu Lang, Lei Yingdian, and Mavica arrived at An Qingyu's underground laboratory.
