......
As Jiang Lu gradually opened his eyes, a dark iron window came into view.
Through the window of less than one square meter with tight iron bars, he saw a crescent moon emitting a cold light hanging in the sky.
The rotten smell and pungent smell of mold from an unknown source filled my entire nasal cavity.
The cold and damp air made him shiver.
"Hello."
A deep male voice suddenly sounded.
Jiang Lu subconsciously turned around and saw three people, two men and one woman, standing behind him.
The four of them were in a cramped medieval stone room. In addition to a window, there was a heavy closed iron door in the room.
A carpet made of skin from an unknown animal lay quietly in the middle of the room.
Both the stone walls and the rough floor had traces of burning, as if a big fire had once occurred here.
Looking at the three people in front of him, Jiang Lu's eyes became sharp.
Seeing him so alert, the man with glasses who had just greeted him quickly raised his hands in front of his chest to indicate that he had no ill intentions.
Just as he was about to explain further, he heard Jiang Lu suddenly say, "This is actually a multi-person spiritual realm?"
"......" The man was stunned.
It seems that you are not warning us, but are simply wondering why there are other people, right?
Another muscular man with a flat head and wearing a windbreaker was leaning against the wall, his eyes full of contempt for Jiang Lu.
"You don't even read this kind of important information?"
The tall woman with a ponytail and wearing a black tights didn't say anything, but was looking at Jiang Lu with doubt.
Jiang Lu was suddenly embarrassed and asked awkwardly: "Are you three together?"
The man with glasses shook his head, then looked at the other two: "No, I guess you guys don't know each other, right?"
The other two nodded in response.
Jiang Lu was immediately relieved: "We are all solitary and flexible, so why do you have to mock me right away? After all, we are teammates now."
The flat-headed brother looked disdainful and seemed a little arrogant.
But he didn't refute anything.
The woman with the ponytail still had no special reaction.
"In that case, I suggest that everyone introduce themselves, including what they are good at and what skills they have mastered, so that we can assign work to them later."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, the man with glasses changed the subject and focused on the spiritual realm this time:
"Let me go first. My code name is Ghost Face Fox. I'm currently level 15. I'm good at solving puzzles and setting traps."
The flat-headed brother said simply: "Heavy artillery, 17, playing with guns, never miss a shot."
The ponytailed woman followed closely behind: "Liu Dao, level 14, skill set is in the direction of witchcraft, and can barely make puppets, but he is not very proficient in this area."
"Ah...is there no medical stuff?" Ghost-faced Fox felt a little regretful.
"What about you?" he asked Jiang Lu.
The other two also looked over.
Jiang Lu was in a tense state at this moment. It was difficult to hold it together, but he managed to hold it together.
What kind of names are these? They are so immature!
"Me?" Jiang Lu raised his lips slightly, "My code name is Please Name Me."
When these words were spoken, even the heavy artillery stood in awe, and the bodies that were originally leaning against the wall left the wall and stood up straight.
"Please give me a name?" Ghost-faced Fox was feeling very uncomfortable: "Well... that's not your code name. You have to choose your own code name. You haven't chosen a name yet, have you?"
"Ah?" Jiang Lu was confused and quickly called up the panel.
Then he slapped his forehead and his pupils trembled.
"So... is that what happened?"
Zhong Pao had a gloomy look on his face, and Liu Dao said nothing, but he was obviously speechless as well.
In less than ten seconds, Jiang Lu finished the naming and began to introduce himself again as if nothing had happened.
"OK, give me some face, what just happened didn't happen, let me introduce myself again, my name is Jiang Baochong Lingyu."
"So you became an exorcist for important people?"
The ghost-faced fox suddenly realized: "Excuse me, Jiang Bao is..."
"I'm Jiang Bao, my last name is Jiang, is there any problem?"
"That makes sense." The ghost-faced fox wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Heavy Artillery seemed eager to end this meaningless conversation, and said impatiently: "Just get to the point, what are you good at?"
"Are you good at it?"
Jiang Lu looked at his personal dashboard, and it seemed that there was nothing to show off...
"I have a high charm..."
Boom!
This is the sound of a heavy artillery punching a wall.
At this moment, the iron door that had been closed was suddenly opened.
Amid the harsh friction sound, a deep, ghostly whispering voice came from the darkness behind the door.
"Chuckles...fresh blood..."
Chapter 8 Is this the room number?
The sudden change made everyone nervous.
"Now that you are here, report in quickly, supervisors..."
There was a hint of teasing in the sound, like the sound made by a sixty-year-old man rubbing the dry bark of a tree.
I don’t know if this is the style of the owner of the voice, or if he is just mocking them.
Ghost-faced Fox took a deep breath, looked at the others, and whispered, "Let's go."
The Spirit Realm has just begun and there are still too many unclear points. According to the mission objectives and background introduction, at least their current identities are safe. In any case, they have to go through the plot before considering other things.
The four of them walked out of the cramped stone chamber one after another and came to the corridor.
The era background of this spiritual realm seems to be quite ancient. The corridors are lit by dim oil lamps, which are barely enough to see the road clearly.
At this time, several people could see clearly what the person who was speaking looked like.
It's hard to describe what she looks like.
She was not tall, about 1.6 meters tall, with the face of a young human woman, but this face was embedded in a black bird's head. The dense feathers emitted a deep obsidian luster. Her body was hidden under a gray cloak that dragged on the ground. There was nothing under the linen cloth, and it could be seen that she must have a slender body. Two pairs of wings stood behind her, one above and one below, and even pressed against the dome of the corridor, which was estimated to be more than two meters high.
"Hehehe...Are you scared, supervisors?" The human-faced bird laughed strangely in her unique voice.
Several people's faces didn't look good.
Except Jiang Lu.
He was as curious as a child: "Can I touch your wings?"
The strange laughter stopped abruptly.
Heavy Artillery and Liu Dao's faces changed.
The ghost-faced fox quietly tugged at the corner of Jiang Lu's clothes, signaling him not to mess around.
The bird-faced man spoke in a shrill voice, as if its throat was pinched: "What a bold child... You can call me a messenger. Come with me to get your clothes."
After saying that, she turned and walked into the darkness, not caring at all that her wings had left two long bloody marks on the dome.
Following behind her, Jiang Lu stared with wide eyes: "This is a ruthless person."
Heavy Artillery had a gloomy face, still frightened by what had just happened, and warned in a low voice: "You are the ruthless one, right? This is an S-level spiritual realm, you better be serious! It doesn't matter if you die, but don't let us all die here!"
"Oh." Jiang Lu felt aggrieved, but he didn't say anything and chose to bear it silently.
Ghost-faced Fox and Heavy Artillery probably had the same idea, but considering Jiang Lu's feelings, he did not respond, but just patted him on the shoulder gently to comfort him.
After turning countless times and climbing countless flights of stairs, they finally arrived at a double wooden door that was more than three meters high.
"Here we are..." The messenger pushed open the door.
With the creaking sound of decay, a magnificent hall appeared in front of them.
The luxury, brilliance, and splendor formed a sharp contrast with the road they had just walked and the original stone chamber.
However, the hall was empty, you could hear a pin drop, and it was so quiet that it was a little scary.
