Pretend To Be a Boss Chapter 137

  Chapter 137 Untitled

   The bottom floor of the Thirty-nine Fortress.

  Liu Lang's blacksmith shop has been deserted recently, and everyone at the bottom is in panic.

  It is one thing for a large number of people to disappear, but it is another thing for patrols to come and search from house to house every now and then.

   This situation has been going on for nearly a month.

   When people are in panic, the efficiency of mining will become lower.

  I can often hear some mining team leaders come to Liu Lang to complain and complain, so Liu Lang just smiles.

   After all, he was released not long ago.

  Because of the Devil Boy Invasion incident at the bottom, many old miners who used to have friendship with someone were taken for questioning. Until an incident more than 20 days ago, everyone was released again.

  But Liu Lang was no less familiar with the bottom layer than Tang Xian, so he still noticed some things.

   Many old miners have disappeared. Some of these miners knew Tang Xian, while others had never met Tang Xian at all.

  The patrol team is no longer all regular troops like in the past, and the trial knights wrapped in bronze skin are very conspicuous.

  Summer is coming to an end. Although the four seasons are not known in the fortress, Liu Lang still has a premonition that there will be an eventful autumn.

  Looking outside today, even the Fallen Street opposite was quiet, and he knew that business was getting harder and harder.

  Liu Lang smoked a cigarette, but his mood was still optimistic. After staying for a short time, he returned to his blacksmith shop.

  In the hammer room of the blacksmith shop, there is actually a secret room.

  The main thing is to put some weird things, which are some parts that Liu Lang usually does when he has nothing to do. Rings, katanas, scepters, golden statues, etc., they probably thought of what to do.

  This secret room was made very concealed, hidden behind the furnace wall. Even after several major searches, Liu Lang's secret room was not found.

  Liu Lang and Tang Xian had similar experiences, and both had extremely high cultural scores in the survival test. Of course, he did not exaggerate to get full marks in the test.

  But the scores of all subjects are not low. It's just that he doesn't have talent, and there is a way out for such a talent in the Heaven's Choice Trial.

  If Tang Xian didn't get full marks in the test, but made some mistakes on purpose, maybe Tang Xian still has a good life now.

  Of course, the difference in hierarchical environment is not important to Tang Xian.

  Liu Lang can go to the third floor for development, and many design companies are interested in him.

  He also readily accepted, stayed on the third floor, and chose a local self-operated enterprise.

   It was only after reaching the third floor that Liu Lang discovered a very cruel thing.

   No matter how good he is in the company and how professional he is, no one will think highly of him.

  Because there is no talent.

   Even a subordinate with only one talent would often look at Liu Lang with disdain.

  This kind of disdain is like the disdain that some city locals have for foreigners or people with different skin colors.

  Liu Lang is not affected by this anger, his life is just like his name.

  He quit the job that many people at the bottom envied, and went to the bottom.

  The ground floor is very chaotic, and people are beaten every day for inexplicable reasons.

   Just like in the previous Xiangjia casino, there was a strange masked man who didn't know the reason, and without saying a word, slapped the person in charge of the casino a few times, and then flew away after smashing the place.

   There is a lot of this unprovoked confusion.

   But Liu Lang is very adaptable.

  Compared to the orderly but indifferent life on the third floor, Liu Lang thrives on the bottom floor.

  Although the blacksmith shop is small in scale, it is a rare place where few people come to make trouble, and the business is not very hot, but it can definitely make a living.

  He doesn't need to go to the mining area to dig, and can live by his craft.

  The most important thing is that all the people here have no talent. Everyone, regardless of high or low, speaks according to their ability.

  After returning from house arrest in Li Mansion, Liu Lang made some improvements to the secret room.

  Because after that, he met a person who shouldn't have had anything to do with him at all.

  Li Xiaoyu.

  The clever Liu Lang quickly thought of something.

   First, my group was released, and then the visa was relaxed.

  Then the patrols at the bottom were stepped up, and there were major searches almost every day.

  Following that, he saw the second young lady of the Li family who was in a mess, and Liu Lang thought of a certain possibility.

  He still remembered what Li Xiaoyu said to himself.

  Like a serious gambler, when he is desperate, he puts all his eggs in one basket.

   "I have investigated all of Tang Xian's contacts in the past six years. There are twenty-six temporary workers who can be called friendship, and five bosses from all walks of life on Degenerate Street.

   Among them, Luo Liuyan and you are the most compatible with him. But you are different from Luo Liuyan, at least my people didn't bribe you later, I want to ask you something, you'd better answer me honestly. "

   "Ask." Liu Lang was still at a loss at that moment.

   "Is Tang Xian still your friend?"

  Liu Lang smiled, seeing this girl trying to endure, also reminded him of his family's appearance when he was a child.

   Judging from Li Xiaoyu's clothing, physical condition, and some dirt on her body, this girl went to the mining area.

   And she was in a very bad state. Although her words were coherent, her breathing was extremely short.

  Why did the honorable Miss Li Er go to the mining area, and why she was so embarrassed.

  After these thoughts flashed through Liu Lang's mind, he became more convinced of his deduction.

   "Of course Tang Xian is my friend. If you want to say who I can chat with the most at the bottom, it is him."

  After Li Xiaoyu heard this sentence, he only said two words—help me.

   Immediately passed out.

  Liu Lang didn't find it troublesome.

   At this time, handing over the comatose Miss Li Er to the Li family, in exchange for a reward that he might not be able to earn in a few lifetimes.

  But Liu Lang still hid Li Xiaoyu in the secret room.

  The girl suffered some injuries, not serious, but she was in a state of nervous tension for a long time, and after she passed out suddenly, her physical condition also declined.

  Liu Lang was sure that Li Xiaoyu was really desperate, and his mind began to lose consciousness due to injuries and exhaustion.

   In the end she made an unwise gamble.

  Fortunately, by God's blessing, even if this smart woman bet in the end, she chose the one with the most chance of winning.

   Time flies and it is three days.

  Li Xiaoyu's physical strength quickly recovered. She didn't feel unaccustomed to living in Liu Lang's secret room.

  During these three days, Li Xiaoyu did not go to the mining area, but just quietly recovered.

  In addition, Li Xiaoyu also asked Liu Lang for a detailed topographic map of the ground floor. During this period of time, the bottom layer was almost thoroughly studied.

  Liu Lang didn't ask too many questions, but the two had a tacit understanding

   In the next few days, his body finally recovered, and Li Xiaoyu began to travel frequently between the mining area and the pyramid.

  Every time Liu Lang sees Li Xiaoyu coming back, he only asks one question:

   "Found who?"

  Li Xiaoyu didn't hide anything either, just as he directly inherited Tang Xian's connections, he and Liu Lang were like friends for many years.

  Two weeks ago, Li Xiaoyu found Dongran.

  A week and a half ago, Li Xiaoyu contacted Qiao Shanshan again.

  But most of the time, Li Xiaoyu just shook his head silently.

   It was not until three days ago that Li Xiaoyu found Akas and Tang Suoye.

  After Tang Xian disappeared, Shuhai's wooden house was also destroyed soon.

  Sheng Tang's team members are also missing.

  Li Xiaoyu is like another captain of Sheng Tang's team, or the hostess of the tree sea wooden house.

  During Tang Xian's absence, she brought back those scattered throughout the mining area one by one.

  Liu Lang didn't ask about the process.

  Just a girl with two talents in the mining area, he probably knows all the unimaginable harshness and dangers she can experience.

   I admire this girl who doesn't talk much more and more.

   "Found who?"

  After smoking the cigarette, Liu Lang opened the door of the secret room and asked Li Xiaoyu when he saw that he was awake.

   "I've found everything, and I'm missing him."

  Liu Lang knew who he was, so he didn't ask this question again, but said:

   "Why not consider contacting them at the Pyramid?"

  Li Xiaoyu shook his head and said:

"Just like you, they were all under house arrest in Li Mansion. For some reason, although you were released, I know my father's methods. Whether Dongran or Qiao Shanshan, including you, Luo Liuyan, Those miners are all under surveillance."

   "Although we have finally met in the mining area, in the pyramid, everyone has to disperse. Live as usual, don't show any abnormalities, and don't go to places you shouldn't go."

  Liu Lang nodded, agreeing to Li Xiaoyu's arrangement.

   "How long will you stay this time?"

   "I just came back to confirm the information, and I will leave in two hours, after ten hours."

   Liu Lang said: "The things you asked me to ask before have already reached the ears of that person. He said that he will investigate."

  After a few seconds of silence, Li Xiaoyu nodded and said:

"I see."

  After the battle on the Jopela Plain started, everyone knew that there would be a large number of hunters and regular soldiers sacrificed,

  But for the people at the bottom, they are just producers of war consumables, not fighters.

   It's just that low-level people are missing frequently these days. About a week ago, Liu Lang mentioned this incident casually, but Li Xiaoyu was very concerned.

  If you want Tang Xian to return to this world, then you have to prove the pyramid is wrong.

   To expose the most evil part of this cage.

  For this reason, Li Xiaoyu also calculated all aspects, and finally locked his eyes on the Judgment Knight.

  But this matter, with her current ability to investigate, it is impossible to find out why.

  In front of Li Xiaoyu, there are two choices, contact Li Zheng, or contact Song Que.

After escaping from Li Mansion, Li Xiaoyu also learned that for a few days, it was very easy to apply for a visa from the thirty-ninth fortress. In addition, it was several days after he left that the patrols on the ground floor and even every floor became tighter. .

  Li Xiaoyu didn't think that Li Xiaonian could hide it for so long, so he quickly thought of a reasonable explanation, and Li Xiaonian persuaded Li Zheng to help him.

  Because of this, she wanted to ask Li Zheng to investigate this matter. The Judgment Knight belongs to the Li family, and Li Zheng is the future head of the family.

  So it is very appropriate for Li Zheng to investigate.

  But the final decision deviated greatly from expectations.

  Li Xiaoyu did not choose Li Zheng, but asked Liu Lang to contact Song Que.

  She is moved by family affection, but most of the time she is calm like a machine.

  The elder brother will occasionally be emotional, but if it touches on the core interests of the family, and if the father suffers a loss of reputation, there is a high probability that the elder brother will change his decision to help his father.

  So she chose Song Que because Tang Xian believed in Song Que.

  This simple logic seems to be accompanied by some kind of fanatical superstition.

  But it can help you save yourself from bad times.

  Such as Liu Lang, such as Song Que.

  Li Xiaoyu asked: "Did Song Que say anything else?"

  Liu Lang knew what Li Xiaoyu meant, shook his head and said:

   "He didn't ask me who I was, nor where you were. He was very modest, he just said that he would investigate himself."

  Li Xiaoyu was slightly stunned, realizing that he was not as good as Tang Xian after all.

   Originally, he hated Song Que because of his marriage, so disgusted that even his friends would do it.

  But now she finds that Song Que is really a friend worth making.

   No wonder Tang Xian went to meet Song Que at the ball that day.

   "Let him investigate, I believe him. Boss Liu, you also have to be careful. If the disappearance of people at the bottom is really related to what I think, then I am afraid that a large number of people will go missing in the future."

   "I see, you go to rest. I will go outside the shop to look at the shop."

   "Okay, thank you."

  Looking at Li Xiaoyu's appearance, Liu Lang couldn't imagine that this was the female devil who made Luo Liu's eyes tremble whenever he mentioned it.

  He closed the door of the secret room, returned to the shop, and continued to pass the time leisurely.

   Not long after, Liu Lang heard a lot of noise coming from the opposite street.

   Liu Lang frowned. Patrol in the morning, come again in the afternoon?

  He had a bad premonition in his heart.

   Walking out of the shop, Liu Lang looked at the Fallen Street opposite, and then his eyes widened.

  A large group of regular troops is coming from Fallen Street. Behind this group of well-equipped regular troops, there are twelve trial knights.

   These bronze-skinned humanoid combat units, the huge engine sound when walking makes it difficult to ignore it.

   Liu Lang had never seen such a battle before.

  After seeing this huge group of teams passing by Fallen Street without any action, he immediately became vigilant.

   Immediately above the ground floor, the huge ceiling began to flash red lights.

  The ground floor is the largest floor of the fortress, but the sound of the alarm suddenly spread to every corner of the ground floor.

  Liu Lang hurried back to the forging room of the blacksmith shop, and opened the door of the secret room.

  Li Xiaoyu in the secret room also heard the siren.

   "This is not a normal patrol, Miss Li, you are probably exposed. Go!"

  Li Xiaoyu didn't expect this sudden accident either.

   "Come on, leave through the back door!" Liu Lang led the way, hurrying.

  The streets adjacent to Fallen Street are arranged in the shape of a well. If you go out from the main entrance of the blacksmith shop, Li Xiaoyu will definitely be found.

   Without hesitation, Li Xiaoyu picked up the portable crack and prepared to flee.

"what would you do?"

"My life is cheap, the worst thing is that I will be invited to the sixth floor to serve you again. As long as you are not here, they have no evidence. You should leave quickly! The streets and alleys on the ground floor are complicated. You can survive for two hours without being discovered! "

   Feeling the increasingly clear sound of the engine in the distance, Li Xiaoyu nodded.

   Xin said that in the future, he must repay the kindness of the blacksmith shop owner.

   But when Li Xiaoyu walked out the back door, he was suddenly stopped by the scene in front of him.

  The sound of the alarm hit the ears overwhelmingly,

  In the back street of the blacksmith shop, a large group of guards also came.

  She stood firmly outside the door, with no way out.
