When Shen Hao arrived at the Alliance Guild branch, Xia Bing was already waiting for him.
Although he said he would arrive in half an hour, he dawdled on the way, causing him to be 20 minutes later than scheduled.
The main reason is that he really doesn't want to participate in any missions; being someone else's henchman feels really bad.
This also aligns with his image as a Buddhist-like person who dislikes fighting and killing.
Xia Bing led him into the conference room, which was empty.
"Because you arrived late, they had already set off," Xia Bing said with a hint of resentment.
"I'm so sorry, there was a traffic jam on the way."
What kind of car were you in?
"The subway," Shen Hao said truthfully.
Xia Bing was speechless. The subway can get stuck in traffic?
She realized that Shen Hao simply didn't want to participate in this mission.
But there was really no other way, because with a key player like Yan Dahai gone, it would take many people to fill his position.
She had to borrow people from other groups for this mission.
People from other groups have joined in, and as one of her group members, Shen Hao certainly can't not participate in this mission.
Even if it's just to be a casual visitor.
"Before we talk about this mission, let me tell you something," Xia Bing said, no longer bothered by Shen Hao's attitude.
"What is it?" Shen Hao had another bad feeling.
Xia Bing moved closer to him and whispered, "Now, you're on the wanted lists of two evil organizations. They'll do anything to kill you, at any cost."
Of course, on the list with you is also our Chairman Sun.
But we're ranked very low on their list, while you're ranked first.
We shouldn't have any major problems, but you're definitely in big trouble.
"Why? Why are you always targeting me?" Shen Hao asked, puzzled.
Although he committed numerous evil deeds in the Instance, he remained low-key in the real world.
Besides, Sun Wanli has already taken the blame for Jiang Zhennan's death, so is it necessary to fight him to the death?
Moreover, they were two evil organizations. He could understand if the Blood Banquet Organization wanted to kill him.
But what exactly is the other organization?
That group of people is just plain stupid.
"We don't know the specifics, but I think it's probably related to the evil god they worship."
You have been offered as a sacrifice to Jiang Zhennan's god, but you did not die, preventing them from fulfilling their promise to the evil god.
The Blood Banquet Guild absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen.
The other organization is the Blood Moon Guild, whose god is said to be the brother and sister of the Blood Banquet Guild's god.
These two guilds are very close, and I think their desire to kill you is probably related to the Blood Banquet Guild.
"That's quite an unexpected turn of events," Shen Hao said.
"I thought everything would be fine once Jiang Zhennan died, but it's like stirring up a hornet's nest."
"These evil organizations are followers of evil gods. Their beliefs are extremely extreme, and once you get involved with their gods, it will be very troublesome."
Shen Hao asked, "Are you going to use me as bait again? I don't mind, I'll cooperate this time."
He simply couldn't possibly handle two members of an evil organization by himself.
Continuing to act as bait is an excellent option.
"This time, we don't need you to be the bait," Xia Bing said with absolute certainty.
"Jiang Zhennan alone is already so troublesome. If two experts from the organization really come, I'm afraid even our branch won't be able to handle them."
Do you mean the guild is going to abandon me?
"Of course not," Xia Bing said. "Such a thing could not possibly happen."
The Alliance Guild will never compromise with evil organizations!
She spoke with absolute certainty, but Shen Hao remained skeptical.
The slogan "Never compromise with evil" is at best just that.
That's how it appears on the surface, but who knows what's really going on inside?
People from those two evil organizations will definitely use some means to force the Alliance Guild not to get involved in this matter.
For example, if the Alliance Guilds try to stop them, they will create a very large event that causes social upheaval.
If the two organizations use this as leverage, the Alliance Guild will likely turn a blind eye to avoid escalating the situation.
After all, the life of an ordinary guild member is not so important that it cannot be given up.
For the sake of stability, the guild's higher-ups wouldn't even blink an eye at handing over such a guild member.
It's just that we can't say it openly.
But it's perfectly possible to do that secretly.
Seeing Shen Hao's serious expression, Xia Bing comforted him, "Don't worry too much, you shouldn't be in any danger for the time being."
After all, it was Jiang Zhennan who attacked you last time, and he failed. This time, the experts who have come will only be more numerous and stronger.
But they probably won't be able to find a stronger force to deal with you anytime soon.
Furthermore, we discovered that both organizations are planning major actions soon; they have more important things to do.
I guess I won't have time to deal with you for the time being.
Shen Hao took a deep breath and said, "That's good, at least I can live a few more days."
"Be optimistic. You have to believe that the Alliance Guild won't abandon you. You'll definitely be alright."
"What's their big move?" Shen Hao asked curiously.
Xia Bing shook her head and said, "I don't know about that, but it has nothing to do with the real world; it involves things inside the Instance."
"What are they planning to do in the Instance?"
Xia Bing said, "This involves S-level Instance. I'm still one level away from entering an S-level Instance, and you're even further behind."
So asking these questions is pointless.
After all, in Xia Bing's eyes, he was still below level 10, and it was a long way off before he could enter an S-rank Instance.
If Xia Bing knew that he had actually entered an S-level Instance and even returned alive, she would probably be astonished.
Shen Hao said, "I'm just a little curious and wanted to ask. After all, they're enemies, so it wouldn't hurt to know more about them."
Seeing that Xia Bing remained unmoved, Shen Hao continued,
"I might get killed by them at any time, so just consider it satisfying my curiosity."
Seeing that Shen Hao seemed quite pitiful, Xia Bing said helplessly,
"They probably want to enter an Instance of S rank or higher, but I don't know exactly what they want to do."
They've done this before.
It's said that the S-rank Instance is located in a real world, and they probably want to achieve something there.
It's probably related to the evil god they worship, but the specifics are beyond our level of knowledge.
Shen Hao nodded.
In other words, the experts from the two guilds wanted to enter the Netherworld to do something.
The things that organizations like theirs do are mostly related to the evil gods they worship.
Shen Hao then asked, "Isn't Instance matchmaking random? How do they ensure that all their people can get into the Instance?"
"Relying on random matchmaking in Instance is obviously impossible; there must be related items," Xia Bing explained patiently.
"Our guild also has similar items, and we sometimes use them to teleport skilled players into Instance to achieve certain goals."
Xia Bing changed the subject and said,
"Alright, stop asking so many questions. Let me tell you about your mission this time."
That's why I called you here.
