Wearing a championship ring, with his physique and agility completely surpassing that of humans, Jiang Lu ran wildly at a speed of 20m/s, but his face did not turn red, his heart did not beat, and he did not even break a sweat.
Pushing open the door of the banquet hall, Jiang Lu's relaxed mood was immediately washed away by the oppressive atmosphere.
Seeing the door being pushed open, everyone looked over. Two distinct groups of people looked at Jiang Lu with different eyes.
Everyone on the Black Jade side was mocking, while all the members of the guild had sad faces. Only a few people who knew Jiang Lu had a little hope in their eyes, but not much. It was a bit like treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
The sweaty personnel director came directly to greet him.
"What on earth have you been doing? Why don't you answer the phone? Why are you not around when I go to your house to look for you?"
Jiang Lu patted the HR director on the shoulder: "As brothers, in my heart, I can't get through the phone if something happens."
"Uh..." The HR director didn't know how to respond.
The branch president frowned and waved to Jiang Lu: "Come here."
Jiang Lu walked over and sat directly next to the branch leader Sickle in the seat that used to be the personnel director. Seeing this, the personnel director couldn't say anything, so he had to sit in the second seat farther away.
"What's going on?" Jiang Lu asked.
"We are fighting against the spiritual realm with Black Jade's people to determine the outcome. I won't go into details. You can see for yourself."
Looking in the direction the sickle was pointing, Jiang Lu noticed that there was a sand table on the carpet between the two parties.
I don’t know how this sand table manifested itself, but judging from its appearance, it should be against the situation in the spiritual realm.
Seeing that the four dots on the red side had already received a bounty, but the three dots on the black side were still shopping, Jiang Lu praised: "Okay, the form is great."
"We are the black side." Sickle said expressionlessly.
People behind him who heard Jiang Lu's words lowered their heads with complicated expressions.
"Oh." Jiang Lu said nonchalantly: "The situation is not optimistic."
"So you came just in time."
Jiang Lu was a little strange: "I can't come, haven't they all gone in? I can't help them outside."
The personnel director on the side heard this and explained: "I wanted you to be hired at the beginning, but we couldn't contact you, so we chose other candidates.
What I didn't expect was that because it was a simulated training spiritual realm, it was not stable. One person each from our side and Black Jade's side entered and were forced to leave shortly after being disconnected due to abnormal circumstances.
Originally there was no problem with 3v3, but in order to completely simulate the situation at that time, Black Jade had to have people join in midway.
Fortunately, your call came in time, otherwise we would have found someone else.
You must use all your strength in a moment, otherwise Qingying and Hongchuang will suffer a huge loss, not to mention being dumb. "
"It's a complete simulation of a bull demon. The four teams at that time were completely independent, and there was no so-called 4v4." Jiang Lu was a little surprised.
"That's what's weird about us."
The Minister of Personnel whispered: "Because it was Heiyu who proposed gambling in this way, the president and I suspect that they have done something in advance. People who join after that may be their killer move."
"Everyone who decides whether or not to kill with a killer move is calculated by calculation but not by intention. No matter what, he always takes the advantage." Jiang Lu looked at the sickle: "So who gave you the confidence to accept this kind of bet proposed by others?"
Everyone's expressions changed, and Sickle was speechless for a moment.
After a long time, Sickle finally managed to hold back a sentence: "When has our Exorcist Guild ever been afraid of conspiracies and tricks?"
Just as Jiang Lu was about to say something, Razor, the leader of Black Jade's branch, asked: "Since the people have arrived, it's time to send them in, right?"
"Who are you? Didn't you see that I was talking to my leader?" Jiang Lu looked displeased.
It's no wonder that he couldn't tell who was the leader in Black Jade. After all, everyone there was wearing black clothes, and the only sign of status was the official title on the small plate on the chest.
But it was too far away and Jiang Lu could not see clearly.
"I..." Jiang Lu's answer clearly showed that he didn't know how to fix the razor.
He wanted to explain his identity, but he felt that emphasizing his identity to a low-level exorcist like Jiang Lu was too cheap, so he simply pretended not to hear and asked Sickle: "Can we get in?"
"Come in." Sickle said solemnly.
"Just enter whatever you want?" Jiang Lu was a little angry when he saw that Sickle was stubborn: "Same loss twice?"
Although Sickle knew in his heart that he was a little impulsive this time, if he gave in at this time and did not accept Black Jade's bet, his momentum would be weaker. If word spread, he doesn't know what the public opinion will become. The Demon Guild has lost a lot of face.
It's not that he didn't listen to Jiang Lu's words, it's just that he has a special status. To consider things, he must stand from the perspective of the guild. Everything he says and does represents the guild.
So even if he knew it was a trap, he had to step on it for the sake of reputation.
Sickle couldn't tell the pain in his heart, so he had to maintain his composure and said calmly: "Didn't you dig out the optical cable? As long as you go in and help our people win, the guild will protect you."
Jiang Lu didn't like this feeling of being threatened, so he said tit for tat: "Then what if I don't go?"
Sickle shook his head: "I will protect you too."
"President..." the HR director called out.
Sickle stared at the black spots still wandering around on the sand table and waved his hands: "That's it. But when I say I want to protect you, it doesn't mean you have the privilege to do whatever you want. It's just that I don't want to shame the guild because of you."
Jiang Lu was silent.
He understood the cryptic hint of the scythe.
All decisions made by Sickle are based on the interests of the guild. In order to preserve the reputation of the guild, even digging up the optical cable can be covered up. The Black Jade bet was of course for this reason.
Jiang Lu only considers local wins and losses, while Sickle cares more about the overall situation.
If this is the case, then Sickle is not the fool he thinks he is.
Thinking about having to work under him in the future, Jiang Lu also sighed: "If you say that, then I have to take action. I don't like to owe people favors."
After saying that, Jiang Lu stood up under Sickle's slightly soft eyes, and pointed at Black Jade under everyone's surprised gazes.
"On behalf of SSIS-531, I would like to accept your challenge."
Razor was stunned: "Who challenges whom, and what the hell is SSIS-531!"
"It's the number of the optical cable I dug up!" Jiang Lu said proudly.
"Did you dig out the optical cable?" Razor looked at the people around him in shock: "They found a madman."
Amid Heiyu's wanton ridicule, he put his sickle on his forehead. He wanted to protect Jiang Lu because he didn't want this matter to spread. Who knew that he would admit this matter so proudly in public.
But fortunately, he was so confident that Razor thought he was joking and went crazy, and it didn't seem to have any impact.
Jiang Luze ignored the ridicule and pointed at Qianfu with a cold eyebrow: "So who is your spare tire?"
A bald man walked out of the crowd and asked with a sneer: "I am the spare tire, so what are you?"
Jiang Lu puffed up his chest: "I am the better choice."
"..."
There was a sudden deathly silence in the banquet hall.
I don’t know if this bald guy has been hurt before and is reacting to these words, or is simply dissatisfied with Jiang Lu’s attitude. In any case, he gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll let you know how to write the word death in a moment. Although you won’t really die in this, but... hehe.”
"You underestimate me too much."
Jiang Lu slapped the table and stretched out his hand to sign: "The word "death" is written horizontally, bent horizontally, and hooked vertically!"
"Damn you're sick!" the bald head muttered with a frown.
Obviously, Jiang Lu had already won spiritually before entering the spiritual realm.
Soon, under the leadership of Sickle and Razor, Jiang Lu and Bald Head were teleported to different places in the spiritual realm.
As the two disappeared into the banquet hall, two more dots, one red and one black, appeared on the sand table.
Staring at the flashing red dot, Razor smiled quietly.
Scythe, maybe you don't know that the Spirit Realm will only review the level of the exorcist once...
In the spiritual realm, Jiang Lu also quietly smiled.
Stupid, maybe you don't know? No matter how awesome you are, if you want to come back with the bounty, you still have to go to the evacuation point...
Chapter 181 Rapid rescue!
At this time, Jiang Lu was not rushing to the table like he was in the banquet hall, but showed full confidence.
It's okay to help people with things, but it's not enough to just do things well; you also have to let people know that things are difficult to do.
I don't know since when, the word "with a little effort" has changed from a word about helpers being humble to a word about being kidnapped by helpers.
"Isn't it just a piece of cake for you? Do you want a reward?"
Hearing this kind of thing always makes people angry.
Therefore, in order to avoid this kind of kidnapping, it is best to let the person being helped know from the beginning that this matter is not easy to resolve. Even if it is really just a simple effort, it will still be said that it is as difficult as the road to Shu, and it is difficult to reach the sky.
Because only in this way can you highlight your irreplaceability and help you when you need it.
No one can accomplish this except you. So what will happen after it is accomplished? Needless to say, right?
Thinking of this, combined with Sickle's style of dealing with the interests of the guild as the top priority in everything, Jiang Lu felt that he could do it again.
Is digging up national defense optical cables a big deal?
As long as Black Jade is taken down today and the septic tank under the sickle's house is dug out, he will have to boast about his talent for oil extraction.
Jiang Lu smiled slightly: "Then it's embarrassing!"
......
Lava fissure.
The man holding the sword was trudging alone.
It was unlucky for him. Not only did his two-man team refresh in the center of the lava, but also not long after they came in, the teammate who was talking to him the previous second stopped moving the next second.
At first, he thought his teammates had been possessed by evil spirits, or had been plotted against him. He was worried. The next moment, he received a message from his teammates from outside the spiritual realm, saying that he was offline.
The sword holder was stunned for a moment.
It’s not that he has never entered the training spirit realm, so it’s not that he doesn’t know that the training spirit realm can receive news from the outside world. It’s just that he has never heard of the disconnection, and he can’t understand it at all.
Could it be that the Guild Server and the Black Jade Server are not on the same server, and an accelerator is required to open a cross-zone room?
While he was confused, he immediately became worried about the next 3v4. What if he couldn't win the bounty?
Fortunately, his teammates immediately sent another message, saying that someone on Black Jade's side was also offline and would be rejoined later. The sword holder breathed a sigh of relief.
