Chapter 235 What's the Use
After watching the shadow press somewhere on the wall and the secret door slowly close, Mei Chengan asked him.
"Is that the same button you press to open the door from the inside?"
Shadow turned and glanced at him.
"Yes!"
Mei Cheng'an nodded and said to the four maids.
"You've seen that location, remember it, it might come in handy later."
After saying this, before the secret door closed at the last second, Mei Cheng'an glanced at Si Lili who was holding the iron fence and looking at this side eagerly.
After the secret door was closed, Mei Chengan spoke to several maids.
"Don't be nervous, I took a look at the group of people outside, most of them are rank seven, and there are only a few rank eight.
All you have to do is to fully demonstrate what you have learned just like we did in our sparring. With your strength, it will be easy to kill them.
I'll be there to support you guys in the back. Relax. If you're really nervous, just chat and take deep breaths.
Bluebird, Green Ant, the two of you help them adjust their state, especially Cucumber, whose nose is sweating. "
The two said in unison.
"Yes, Master."
Cucumber covered his nose and said stubbornly.
"Master, I'm fine. I'm not nervous."
Mei Chengan smiled.
"Okay, I believe you. I'll behave well later."
After thinking about it, he gave one last reminder.
"Remember one thing, fight if you can, run if you can't, react quickly, and don't be dazed during a fight."
The sweet potato let out a cry.
"I understand, young master. Please stop talking. The more you talk, the more nervous you get."
Mei Chengan shrugged.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. Let's see what happens later."
After saying that, Mei Cheng'an looked at the shadow who was standing aside with his arms crossed and looking at them with interest.
"Stop looking and let's go."
Shadow glanced at the women again, nodded, and the two of them walked side by side to chase the team in front.
Shadow said after they were a little further away.
"Your maids have great talents. With time, it won't be a problem for them to become ninth-rank assassins. It's a waste for them to just be maids under you. Why not leave them to me? I can train them to become top-level assassins."
Mei Chengan rolled his eyes when he heard this.
"You wish. What do I need so many assassins for?"
Shadow sighed.
"Oh, what a pity."
Mei Cheng'an rolled his eyes. Shadow's skills were quite tempting. It didn't seem to be a bad idea for them to learn from him.
Although there is a high probability that you will not be able to use it after learning it, it is still good to master one more skill.
I was just wondering what excuse I could use to get them into the Supervisory Commission, and now the opportunity has come to me.
Thinking of this, Mei Chengan spoke.
"It's not impossible if you want a few of them."
Shadow was stunned for a moment.
"Just state the conditions directly."
Mei Chengan smiled.
“It’s impossible to give them all to you, after all, I still need people, but I can let the two most talented ones among them become your disciples.
As for the condition, you help get the four of them into the Supervisory Commission, but they will not be affiliated with any one of them, nor will they be involved in daily tasks.
Of course, I'm talking about sweet potatoes and cucumbers. As for the bluebird and green ant, they are the two who worship you as their master. It's up to you.
After all, you are killers, so practical teaching is very important, and I am clear about that.
Let me be clear, they are still my people, they are just learning from you, please think about it. "
Shadow frowned when he heard that.
It is not a big problem to get an ordinary person into the Overwatch Council, but it is a bit difficult for a maid. However, considering his position in the Overwatch Council, it is not that difficult.
But this deal sounds like I'm at a disadvantage. Apart from getting the title of a cheap teacher, it seems like I'm doing something to benefit this kid Mei Chengan.
But being able to teach two ninth-grade apprentices is really tempting. Those people in the Sixth Department are really useless. This matter...
After struggling for a moment, my heart finally prevailed.
Shadow nodded.
"make a deal!"
Mei Chengan smiled.
"Then don't rush to act. Just keep an eye on them and make sure nothing unexpected happens. After all, this is your first time killing someone, so I'm a little worried."
Shadow shrugged.
"Easy to say."
……
Fan Xian, who had already turned two corners and was walking in front, asked.
"Is it safe in here?"
Chen Pingping said after hearing this.
"It's not too safe. Many people know this road. They usually have to bring water and food to the prisoners, and sometimes they have to pull the bodies out."
Fan Xian was a little dumbfounded.
"Ah? Then what's the point of us hiding here?"
Chen Pingping gestured for him to turn left and replied.
"The passage is narrow, we can resist."
When Wang Qinian, who was helping to push the wheelchair, heard this, his eyes widened.
"You'll die sooner or later, oh no."
Chen Pingping glanced at him, smiled and said nothing.
After turning the corner and walking a few steps, they suddenly found that there was a wall in front of them.
"Dead end?"
Fan Xian stopped walking, turned the wheelchair around, and let go of the handle after it stopped.
He went back to the corner and looked around. When he saw Mei Chengan and the shadow emerging from the second corner, Fan Xian asked.
"Is the door closed?"
Shadow replied.
"closed."
Mei Chengan asked.
"There's no road ahead?"
Fan Xian spread his hands.
"A dead end."
After saying this, Fan Xian turned around and asked Chen Pingping, "Is there really no other way?"
Chen Pingping shook his head.
"The structure on the other side of the secret door is the same as this side."
Wang Qinian clasped his fists and squatted on the ground with a look of regret.
"This is terrible. I can't die! I haven't told my wife yet. If I die without her knowledge, she will be very angry!"
As soon as Mei Cheng'an and Yingzi turned the corner and saw Chen Pingping and others, they heard Wang Qinian's speech as a student representative of the Men's Morality College.
Mei Chengan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Shadow was also speechless.
"In this situation, are you afraid that your wife will be angry?"
Wang Qinian shouted with a sad face.
"Life and death are minor matters, but whether Madam agrees is a major matter! You don't understand!"
"..."
Mei Chengan patted Shadow's shoulder and smiled.
"Hahaha, he, his wife, my sister-in-law, is indeed a bit overbearing. He really didn't exaggerate. Please understand."
Wang Qinian looked up.
"Master, it's already this late, stop laughing!"
Mei Chengan uttered a "hey".
"If you're not allowed to laugh, then I'm going to cry like you. That's even more useless. Instead of crying, you might as well go and feel around on that wall to see if there's any hidden passages or tricks. I heard that people who build houses in dangerous places like to leave a way out for themselves."
Wang Qinian's wailing stopped abruptly when he heard this, and the tears that were halfway down his face paused.
"That makes sense, I'll go right away!"
After saying that, Wang Qinian stood up, ran to Qiang from behind, and started touching him inch by inch.
Shadow looked at Mei Chengan in confusion.
Mei Chengan explained softly.
"Knowing there's no secret passage, I found him something to do, so he wouldn't keep howling and giving me a headache."
Shadow thought about it and gave Mei Chengan a thumbs up.
Fan Xian suddenly remembered something and walked up to Chen Pingping and asked.
"What will happen if Si Lili is outside?"
Chen Pingping looked up at Fan Xian with a hint of surprise, paused, then smiled and spoke softly.
"If they want to kill me, they will definitely not leave me alive."
Upon hearing this, Fan Xian turned his head and looked at the shadow.
"Give me the cell key."
Shadow had no intention of taking out the key and just looked at him.
"You can't even protect yourself, yet you still care about others..."
Fan Xian interrupted him directly, his voice a little louder.
"key!"
Chen Pingping and Mei Chengan both looked at the shadow with interest.
Shadow squinted at Fan Xian for a moment, then obediently took out the key from his arms, but was snatched away by Fan Xian halfway through handing it to him.
"Give me a moment."
After saying that, Fan Xian turned around and ran out. Teng Zijing, who had been leaning quietly on the side with his arms folded, followed him decisively.
After the two left, Chen Pingping looked at Yingzi and Mei Chengan and smiled.
"This kid is great."
Shadow didn't say anything, but Mei Cheng'an was speechless.
"Those people are targeting you. If you live, Si Lili lives. If you die, she dies. It doesn't really matter whether you bring her here or not."
Chen Pingping said with a smile.
"The heart is good."
Mei Chengan rolled his eyes. It was true that his mother loved him so much that he liked him no matter how he looked at him.
Wang Qinian was still groping on the wall at the end when suddenly, several chains passing through the wall above his head shook noticeably.
The sudden noise frightened Wang Qinian. He jumped back a step, then took small steps back, looked up at the shaking chains and shouted in fear.
"What's that noise? What's that noise?"
……
After thanking the bluebird for opening the secret door, Fan Xian and Teng Zijing ran straight to the cage in the middle of the pool.
Fan Xian opened the door to save people, while Teng Zijing stood in front of the cage and watched over the dungeon entrance.
He kept his hands on the cloak. If the situation went wrong, he would immediately throw out the dozens of flying knives hidden under the cloak.
Si Lili looked at Fan Xian who was squatting in front of her and unlocking her car and asked the question she didn't have the chance to ask before.
"Unrest in the Overwatch Council?"
Fan Xian was concentrating on unlocking the computer and hummed casually when he heard the words.
The manager thought about it and asked again.
"Why did you save me?"
It was a bit embarrassing to answer seriously, so Fan Xian removed the shackles on her feet and grabbed her arm.
"Mei Chengan asked me to save him. Why don't you ask him? Let's go. They may rush in at any time."
After saying that, Fan Xian turned around and shouted.
"I'm done here, Zijing, retreat!"
Si Lili was stunned for a moment, and then was pulled up by Fan Xian, walked out of the cage, and headed straight for the secret door.
At the same time, the cracks on the horizontal bolt behind the first door of the dungeon became larger and larger after being hit continuously and forcefully, and finally at a certain moment it could no longer hold and broke completely.
The door was slammed open, and a group of thugs holding sharp blades rushed into the dungeon, shouting "Kill".
After rushing through the first corridor, someone in the crowd cheered.
"Hurry up and find where Chen Pingping is!"
The crowd immediately dispersed and searched on their own. Fortunately, the secret door had been successfully closed and could hold out for a while.
The end of the dark passage.
Fan Xian let go of Si Lili's wrist and threw the key back to Yingzi.
Si Lili rubbed her wrist which was hurt by being pulled and looked directly at Mei Chengan.
"What's the point of asking him to bring me here? He'll die anyway!"
Mei Chengan: “???”
……
I would like to recommend a new work by a big name in urban entertainment. If you are interested, you can go and take a look. Also, if you have time, it would be best if you can help me read it.
The above.
