By the way, judging from their age, they must have been very young when they left the Netherworld, right? There is a rift in the city center, so what is it like down there? Maybe their homes have also been eroded by the rift? Maybe that's why they want to see their relatives and friends again?
Why didn't he want to go back and take a look? But he was a guard and could only follow orders. But facing the determined expression of the man in front of him, he said: "As long as I am here, you can't go in before twelve o'clock in the evening!"
Pei Guang: "Come after twelve o'clock? I see. Do you have any tasks, brother? For example, letters or messages from home? I'll help you arrange it."
The Iron Guard stood there motionless, his helmet covering the expression on his face.
In his opinion, the man in front of him was a good person. He could only turn a blind eye and let Pei Guang go in and follow the track. He could not do anything else.
But he did have something to ask of Pei Guang. He took out a suicide note from his arms. As the rift spread, he was ready to die. He even carried the suicide note with him. He hoped that his comrades would remember him and help him send it to his family.
But although it is called a suicide note, it is actually a letter he left for his family who were unaware of the situation in the underworld, telling them that he was fine and not to worry about him. He just wanted to leave his family with a last glimmer of hope after he died one day.
Pei Guang took the letter and received the storage space: "Okay, oh? Panyan Town? I remember it. By the way, I accept the task at the mechanical house of Xiluwa. If anyone has any needs or needs to deliver something, just go there to find me. Or you can put the things you want to deliver in the transportation and write who is who in which place, and I will help you deliver it when I get to the place."
The guard was shocked. He didn't expect Pei Guang to think of everyone, not just himself. Yes! Only people in the Lower City who were concerned wanted to pass on the information, but if the train was opened and people were allowed to get on, it would not be a trivial matter. He had a way to avoid responsibility, but what about them?
Thinking of this, Tiewei reminded: "If you do this, you will never come back."
Pei Guang: "If you never come back? Then you never come back!"
At this moment, the Iron Guard saw the brilliance of humanity, and Pei Guang's figure became much taller in his eyes. Many of the Iron Guards have relatives and friends living in the Lower City.
But the Great Guardian issued a ban, which cut off their communication. It has been more than ten years! The Iron Guards can use the idea of protecting the city and their families to drive themselves to fight, but who doesn't miss home? They also want to pass some information to their families so that they don't worry, and they also want to secretly send some things to their families.
God knows what the lower city area where communication is prohibited has become. Sending some medicine, some food, a letter, or even completely opening up communication is what many Iron Guards hope for.
But unfortunately, they didn't have the chance.
He also hoped that someone would help pass on some information. That was why he gave Pei Guang some hints. Now seeing Pei Guang being so smart and even wanting to help everyone in need, he was silent at this moment.
Sometimes people don't need to say a lot of words to each other, just a simple eye contact is enough to confirm Pei Guang's determination.
The guard glanced around to make sure no one was peeping or eavesdropping, then warned in an accent that only the four of them could hear: "The assassin who killed the Great Guardian is on the loose! Don't walk around at night, it would be bad if the assassins took the tram here and forced their way to the downtown area!"
Pei Guang: "I understand! We are the assassins!"
The guard didn't expect Pei Guang to be willing to take on such a crime? Looking at his firm and unpretentious expression, he spoke: "Yes! The assassin will drive the train to escape to the lower city at night!"
The guard didn't expect Pei Guang to be so smart, but since Pei Guang had done this, he couldn't let this risk-taking hero suffer injustice in the future. If the assassins were caught and Pei Guang fulfilled his promise, he would be willing to perjure himself for Pei Guang to prove that Pei Guang and his men were innocent. How to prove it? Just put the blame on the assassins.
At this moment, March 7 Ovo looked at the iron guard in front of him.
To be honest, Pei Guang has done a lot of outrageous things. She could accept one or two more, but what happened now was too outrageous. In order to find a way to go down, they asked the guards. Did the guards not only know but also help them?
It is understandable that we help them, after all, there is a 'mission'. To put it nicely, it is called social etiquette. Social etiquette is something that can be understood on March 7th.
What she didn't understand was that the Iron Guard saw that they were the assassins who wanted to kill the Great Guardian and actually helped them? This was an outrageous operation she had never seen before.
Pei Guang looked at the iron guard and said, "Don't worry! No matter what time, we are assassins who want to kill the Great Guardian. I will never change my words. I will kill Cocolia! By the way, we have people in the mechanical house of Xiluwa before midnight!"
Tiewei choked up a little. He didn't expect Pei Guang to be able to do this and even get involved so quickly. He didn't say much, only the last two words: "Take care!"
Pei Guang: "Remember, if you want to send a task, you must say 'I have a task'. We will not take care of those who don't have a task."
The Iron Guard understood Pei Guang's secret code: "Understood! We won't let anyone go until we fall!"
Chapter 44 We really are assassins, really!
Pei Guang and his group walked away. Only after they were far away did San Yue Qi tease him, "Guang, you are really amazing. I thought we would have to put in a lot of effort to find a way to leave, but I didn't expect you to just find someone to do it?"
Pei Guang shook his head: "I didn't just pick someone randomly. I learned about the background story of this city. More than ten years ago, the Great Guardian closed the upper and lower passages and prohibited people from traveling up and down. The Great Guardian who issued this order was Cocolia."
"According to my experience, the people guarding the various passages usually know how to get through, but to get through, you need to meet their mission requirements. People like those from the lower city are most likely to have a mission. As long as we accept their mission, they will definitely let us pass safely."
"This is the mechanics of most games. If a city gate or passage is guarded by someone, players cannot pass through it normally. However, as long as they communicate with the NPC guarding it and accept the task, he will let people pass through. But here comes the problem. Logically, there should be an NPC in front of the Novice Village to take charge of this. Why haven't I seen our NPC?"
Sanyueqi nodded: "I see, you are really amazing..."
This was not San Yue Qi bragging, but she really admired him. Thinking back to the previous worlds, she had caused a lot of trouble, but never like this time, not only was she not arrested, but she could even chat with people and send them to where they wanted to go? She even had to thank them?
Pei Guang: "It's just so-so. If you encounter someone who goes against the routine, there's nothing you can do. But after all, those who go against the routine are a minority!"
At this time, Xing was curious and asked: "How do you know these secrets?"
Pei Guang casually took out a book and said, "When we were wandering around, running around, and collecting items, I saw some books, notes, and records lying around. I just picked them up and read them. Just pick up any book, scattered paper, or report you see. You may find important information somewhere."
Xing: "I see. But I also took a lot of these, but I didn't have time to look at them."
San Yue Qi looked at Pei Guang: "So what should we do now?"
Pei Guang pondered and said, "It seems there is nothing much to do. Let's walk around and see if there is anything we can do. It's a pity that we opened all the boxes yesterday, otherwise we could have opened a few more for you to enjoy."
Sanyueqi put his hands on his hips and said, "Hehe! I'm going to try to drive a star destroyer too! If yours is destroyed one day, I can still run away with you."
Pei Guang: "Can you please stop being such a bad-mouthed person?"
Xing: “Laugh~”
Pei Guang and his group were searching the entire city for items that could be taken away, when an elderly couple came to the machinery house on the other side.
The old couple entered the machinery room and looked around. When they saw Dan Heng and Xi Lu Wa, the old housekeeper spoke: "I have a mission here! A mission."
If an ordinary person heard this, they might not react, but Dan Heng had a lot of contact with Pei Guang, so he understood what it meant instantly.
He came up to the two old men and asked, "What is the mission?"
The old housekeeper took out a letter and said, "This is the letter we want to mail to Natasha. Madam's legs and feet are not good, and she is old. I don't know when the young lady will be able to come back."
The old lady choked up and said, "Yes! She didn't come back when I asked her to. Although I can understand, why did she stay in..."
Before she finished her words, the old butler next to her interrupted her: "Sir, our mission..."
Dan Heng thought for a moment and nodded: "We have accepted your mission, but we cannot guarantee that we can deliver it to the person in charge."
Grandma: "It would be great if you can deliver it. It would be great if you can deliver it. By the way, we also prepared some gifts for her. They are all in the car. Thank you for your help!"
The old housekeeper said: "Thank you for your help. We are leaving now and will not cause any trouble to you."
Dan Heng looked at the letter in his hand and the backs of the two old men who left in a hurry, and kept his head down in silence.
And Xiluwa came over curiously: "Hey, what nicknames are they? Hey? What are they?"
Dan Heng: "Do you know them?"
Shiluwa: "They are very famous, and their daughter Natasha is also very famous! What a pity, what a pity..."
Xiluwa shook her head and didn't intend to continue. Some things were considered their family scandals. Although Xiluwa accidentally learned about these news, she was not interested in gossiping about them.
After that, more and more people came here. There were armored guards, elderly people, and middle-aged people. Thanks to this being the mechanical house of Shiluwa, so many people coming here did not arouse suspicion from outsiders.
Their purpose is simple, they come here to 'ask tasks'.
Dan Heng's head was buzzing when he heard the content of the mission. What about mailing letters and putting gifts in the car? He admired Pei Guang's courage. Not only did he use psychological warfare and information asymmetry to walk around the streets, but he also got so many people to "issue missions"?
There were not many tasks, only seventeen, and these seventeen people were carefully selected by the iron guard, and they would never expose Pei Guang's information. As for some people who were not very reliable, he used various excuses to get some letters. These tasks were placed in the car, waiting for Pei Guang to help pass them to his family.
As for the vehicles on the platform? At this time, the interior was already filled with various things. Although there were several people on duty on the platform, this iron guard used his connections to replace the people on duty with people he knew or who had something to ask of Pei Guang.
A word from a big shot brought them more than ten years of pain. Now that they see hope, they are willing to take a gamble.
After some operations inside and outside, some things that Pei Guang hoped to help deliver to the lower city were also brought up. There were no precious things, just some food, clothing, and letters. Only the things prepared by Natasha's adoptive parents were slightly expensive, four boxes of medicine.
The medicine is a controlled substance, but the elderly couple has connections with the hospital.
As for whether to believe Pei Guang or not? They felt that they had no chance to believe or not. For so many years, there had never been an incident of a great guardian being stabbed. Without a major incident, many things would be difficult to do in secret. If they were discovered, their family and friends would be implicated. But this time, such a major incident happened, and they happened to meet someone who wanted to take this opportunity to go to the lower city, so let's give it a try!
If it fails, it will be nothing more than the loss of a letter and some supplies. But what if it succeeds? What if your relatives, friends, and children receive these? If they really can't receive them... let them know the news of their children's death... they can also accept it.
What's more, when such a big thing happened, everyone could just blame it on the assassin who assassinated the Great Guardian. What assassin stole his family's medicine, stole that family's food, what a good opportunity, if we don't use this assassin who we don't know to take the blame.
In a sense, Pei Guang and his colleagues were not to blame.
When it was dark, Pei Guang and his team returned to the machinery room. Because they had something important to do at night, the four of them took turns on duty and rested.
It was not until 11:50 pm that the group, having confirmed the time, was ready to set off.
It was late at night, and Xiluwa couldn't turn on the light to help illuminate the place. She could only wish Pei Guang and his group: "Good luck!"
Pei Guang: "Thank you! I'll invite you to play on the Star Destroyer when you come back~"
Shiluwa whistled: "That's so cool!"
Pei Guang took the lead and pushed open the door. But as soon as he opened the door, he was stunned.
San Yue Qi behind him urged: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Shh!"
Pei Guang reminded them to keep quiet, and when he looked out, he saw a young girl standing in front of a trash can making her last struggle.
Chapter 45: Inviting Bronya to have coffee, the Iron Guard who is good at acting
The person standing here was Bronya. Because she was too focused, she didn't hear the sound of Pei Guang and his group tiptoeing to open the door and approach.
In the dark night, the crack in the trash can seemed like an abyss that led Bronya, who was unable to sleep, to come here. Cocolia's order made her discover more problems. There were many things she dared not think about or ask, and could only hide them silently.
She didn't dare to believe it, and she couldn't believe it, because if these things were true, then Beloberg would only face destruction.
Under the huge pressure, she felt like she was going crazy. She wanted to do many things, but her mother didn't allow her to do many things. Without the order of the Great Guardian, no matter how prestigious she was, she couldn't do some things.
She wants to release this pressure.
Her heart was attracted by the deep trash can in the darkness. This trash can was like a ray of light in the middle of the night, which brought Bronya a little comfort.
Although the street was empty, she stared at the crack in the trash can under the light of the street lamp.
There was no one around, so she didn't have to worry about being discovered. As for being discovered, it didn't matter, she had already thought of a reason, she was here on patrol! She just happened to find something unusual here.
Well! Bronya was fully prepared. She was like a girl who was doing something bad for the first time. She carefully put her hand into the gap of the trash can.
She swallowed and made an important decision in her heart!
She pushed harder! She pushed harder! The trash can was opened wider, and in the darkness, a golden light seemed to be calling her, as if a star destroyer that could take the whole city away was waving at her.
At this moment, Bronya felt her body was warm, and even the odor in the trash can could not affect her at all.
"Humph! Compared to his rotten eggs, it's nothing!"
Bronya's eyes sparkled. If possible, she really wanted to contact Pei Guang. She wanted to ask Pei Guang why he wanted to assassinate her mother? No! Why did her mother lie and say he was assassinating her?
If what Pei Guang said was true, she would beg Pei Guang to try to bring Beloberg's people to a safe place to survive. The universe is so big, there should be a place suitable for them to live, right?
Even though the chance was slim, she was willing to give it a try for the sake of survival. She didn't understand why her mother was unwilling to give it a try. They had no way out, and no matter how they tried, things wouldn't get worse.
"Ah..." Bronya sighed.
Bronya felt even more stressed when she thought about this, and under pressure she opened the trash can.
Unfortunately, there were no colorful treasures or rare star destroyers in front of her, but only bread and stale food that someone had dropped on the ground.
At this moment, she felt a little unhappy. The dirty bread was black and smelly as if mocking her, and the garbage inside seemed to be dragging her into the abyss, surrounding it with a smell.
However, at this moment, all the garbage inside disappeared, and a cup of coffee appeared in front of her.
"Drink!"
This drink was like a lullaby, and also like a temptation from the abyss. All the strange smells around disappeared, leaving only a hand in front of me and a cup of coffee in it.
Looking at the dark brown liquid and smelling its magical fragrance, Bronya seemed to have found a good medicine to completely relieve her stress.
She subconsciously picked up the coffee and took a sip. The mellow coffee flavor made her fall into memories. How long had it been since she had experienced this wonderful taste?
Looking at the half cup of coffee left in her hand, she couldn't help but take another sip. The bitterness and fragrance flowed down her tongue into her stomach like a trickling stream. The grievance and unwillingness disappeared at this moment. She felt that her mind was so clear for the first time.
She looked down at the last sip of coffee, picked it up and drank it, and subconsciously turned her head to thank him. But when the coffee entered her mouth, she turned her head to look at the person who handed her the coffee, and her eyes widened.
As the saying goes, three times is the limit, but for Bronya, this was the fourth time she had seen Pei Guang and remembered his appearance. She wanted to speak, but she had already drunk the last sip of coffee. She felt her consciousness was a little heavy, and Bronya fell asleep.
Seeing this scene, Sanyueqi and Xing couldn't help but applaud.
Xing: "It turns out this coffee really has a special effect."
March 7: "Too strong! As expected of you!"
Dan Heng: “…”
Looking at the sleeping girl carried by Pei Guang, San Yue Qi asked worriedly, "What are you going to do?"
Pei Guang: "Take her with you! She is the daughter of the great guardian. Take her away! Keep her as a threat. Even if she can't be a threat, she must know some important information. With luck, she can be used to rebel. This coffee is effective for ten minutes. Ten minutes is enough for us to get through!"
Xing: "Do you want me to hit you with another stick?"
Pei Guang shook his head: "Forget it. It's no fun if we beat this thing to death. Look, this girl is pretty. Maybe we can catch her and use her as a poster girl in the future."
