Fourth Epoch The entrance to that Trier? "Iron and Blood Cross Order" is looking for the entrance to Fourth Epoch that Trier? This person reappeared after missing for several months? Hearing Trader's words, several thoughts flashed through Lumian's mind.

He kept in mind the warning that there should be no verbal communication and tried not to speak. He did not respond to Trader's words. He leaned forward slightly, stretched out his right hand, and tried to take the small brown suitcase.

The hungry bear-like man did not refuse, but just laughed:

"If I were Gardner·Martin, I'd better pray that I never know what's in this box."

What does this mean? Lumian As his mind raced, his palm actually touched the suitcase.

At this moment, his eyes narrowed and he discovered that there was no Trader's right palm at the handle of the suitcase. It was suspended at Sleeve's position, as if being pulled by an invisible force.

Following the handle of the suitcase, Lumian also saw that there was no arm inside the Sleeve, it was empty and held up by something invisible!

No arms! His heart tightened, and he subconsciously raised his head and looked at the Trader. He saw the brown-red eyes set off by the thick beard and thick eyebrows, as cold as a beast, full of undisguised hatred and fear.

As all kinds of thoughts came to him, Lumian forcibly controlled his reaction and took the box calmly, without asking, without making observations, and without conditioned reflexes to defend or attack, as if he had discovered nothing.

Trader's mood seemed to fluctuate a little, and his laughter became a bit sad:

"You tell Gardner·Martin, it won't take long before he will also enter Underground!

"All the Pain and torture I have endured, he will also experience it again!"

Lumian only listened but said nothing. He turned around with the small suitcase in hand and left Albert Mine with "Giant" Simon and "Rat" Christo.

Suddenly, behind Trader, at the other entrance, the sound of kicking footsteps sounded again.

Compared with before, it became clearer and seemed to be close at hand.

And Lumian was more certain than before, that was the movement of leather shoes coming out of the dead silence Tunnel!

The next second, a shadow of Daoist came into the eyes of him, Christo and Simon.

It was a naked man, with a hollow neck and no head, and blood was constantly oozing from the crack.

He was only wearing a pair of dark blue shorts and a pair of black strapless leather shoes.

This headless Monster rushed behind Trader in two steps, stretched out his hands, grabbed his head, and pulled it upward and backward with force.

"Help me! Help me!" Trader could no longer hide his panic and fear and shouted loudly.

Almost at the same time, his entire head was lifted up, revealing the blood-stained Spine hanging below. It was very long and swaying gently, like a tail.

Silently, Trader's shirt, vest, trousers and formal suit lost their support at the same time and collapsed to the ground.

He has no body at all, only his head and the bloody Spine connected to the head.

"Save me! Save me!" The Trader struggled hard, but was tightly grasped by the headless Monster, as if trying to stuff it into its empty neck.

Although Lumian has seen a lot of Distortion scary Monster in real Cordou Village, this is the first time he has encountered such a weird and terrifying one.

He turned around without hesitation, ignoring Trader's head's cry for help, and rushed straight to the entrance of Hidden Tunnel.

"Giant" Simon and "Rat" Christo, who had been frightened by this scene for a long time, finally no longer had to try hard to control themselves. Like cyclists who heard the starting gun, they bent their backs and turned around to get into Tunnel.

Lumian caught up with them in a few steps. Behind him was the shrill cry that echoed in Albert Mine:

"Help me! Help me!"

"If I die, you won't be able to live either!"

"Help!"

The three of them carried the Carbide Lamp and silently walked through the Hidden Tunnel, which was only 1.23 meters tall. Their hearts contracted with the screams from behind. http://m•hetushu. com. com.

A few minutes later, the shrill shouting suddenly stopped, and a deathly silence fell in the direction of Albert Mine.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of tapping leather shoes echoed in this Concealment Tunnel.

"Rat" Christo was the shortest and had the most relaxed posture when bending down to run away. As he moved forward, he turned sideways and pointed frantically at his pocket with his right hand. There was a look of death-like horror on his face.

That special Rat gave a very dangerous warning? Lumian looked down, glanced at his left chest, and then nodded slightly to Christo, which meant that I was behind you, so just run forward.

The sound of kicking and tapping was getting closer and closer, and Lumian and others were all very nervous.

Although they have to bend their backs to walk through Hidden Tunnel, this only slightly reduces their escape speed. After all, they are all Beyonder who are good at fighting and have significantly improved physical fitness.

Time passed Past, and just when the movement of walking in leather shoes was only a few meters away, and Chill was born on Lumian's back, the three finally arrived at the Tunnel exit and got out one after another.

When he saw "Giant" Simon was about to run away on his own, Lumian, who had returned to Agreed Area, no longer remained silent and shouted lowly:

"Come and block the door!"

As he spoke, he turned around on his own, dropped Carbide Lamp and the small suitcase, and tried to push the heavy stone next to the exit.

"Giant"Simon subconsciously ignored Lumian's order, but his heart was still frightened by the low cry.

Along the way, he has become accustomed to obeying the other party's orders, as if that is the only guarantee for his survival.

He was struggling.

After a brief hesitation, "Giant" Simon suspected that if he ran away like this and Charles was not killed by that Monster, the other party would probably attack him and kill the "deserter"!

"Rat" Christo also had similar thoughts, but he believed that if the two of him did not help, Charles would not waste time blocking the exit of Tunnel. At that time, whoever ran the slowest would be the first target of Monster's attack, "buying" enough time for the other two people to escape.

After weighing each other's Pathway characteristics and Sequence's level, Christo felt that he must be the slowest one, and there was no way to hurt "Giant" Simon and "Lion" Charles in a short time, forcing them to slow down and be overtaken by him.

He no longer hesitated, stopped running, returned to the Tunnel exit, and helped Lumian push up the stone blocking the door.

Following the demonstration of this "Rat", "Giant" and "Simon" also chose to obey the command and turned their bodies.

The three of them worked together, and it only took a few seconds to completely block the entrance and exit of Hidden Tunnel.

The sound of kicking footsteps disappeared.

At the same time, "Rat" Christo said with surprise and joy, "It's okay!"

There was no obvious movement in his pocket containing Rat Taffy.

Lumian was not happy. He picked up Carbide Lamp and the small suitcase and said in a deep voice, "We'll talk about it after we get back to Underground First Floor."

"Giant" Simon and "Rat" Christo's slightly relaxed spirit became tense again. They instinctively followed Lumian to climb the rock wall and turned to another Hidden Tunnel.

Along the way, they did not encounter any attacks, but in Underground, the surroundings were either completely dead, or there were occasional strange sounds. No matter what kind of environment it was, it would not be a good experience for them who had just been frightened. If it were not Lumian is always calm and collected, while "Giant" Simon and "Rat" Christo are likely to take some drastic actions.

After returning to the area corresponding to the streets on the ground and Square, "Rat" Christo put his hand into his pocket, Soothing Taffy, and let out a long sigh:

"When I saw that Monster, I thought we were going to die there."

He and Simon have killed more than ten people, and they have also dealt with other Beyonder, and even had battles, but they have never seen Monster like just now, and have never experienced such an unusually terrifying thing.

This is scarier than the horror stories they heard when they were kids!

Lumian laughed:

"Didn't Boss say that? If there is no communication or the box is opened, there won't be much risk."

But seeing such a situation, most people can't calm down! "Giant" Simon and "Rat" Christo have a new understanding of Charles's mental perseverance.

"Thanks to" the shock brought by Trader and headless Monster, the two of them were not interested in what was inside the box. They followed Lumian, hurriedly left Underground, and returned to Springwater Street Number 11, saw Gardner·Martin in Study.

Gardner·Martin took the small suitcase, took a casual look, and said with a smile, "Very good, you all did a good job, I will give you some rewards one after another."

After finishing the compliment, Boss from Savoie Gang looked at Lumian, nodded slightly and said, "I have a message for you.

"If you want to go further in 'Hunter'Pathway, you must remember this sentence:

"Devil is our friend, Hell is others." (Note 1)

Devil is our friend, Hell is others...Lumian was confused for a moment and didn't understand what this sentence really meant, and Gardner·Martin did not explain it.

After watching the three Subordinate leave Study, Gardner·Martin turned sideways and looked at the door connecting Study and Living Room.

The door creaked open, and a man wearing Medium-Height Silk Top Hat, a white shirt, a yellow vest, a black formal suit and Dark Trousers came over.

He has short brown-red hair, brown-red Eyes, a thick and messy beard, and thick eyebrows. He looks like a male bear that has been hungry for a long time. He is just like the Trader who handed the small suitcase to Lumian and others, but was dragged back by the headless Monster.

"Olsen, how do you feel?" Gardner·Martin asked.

Trader, known as Olsen, smiled and replied, "The background is simple, the origins are clear, the brains, the courage, the ability to act, and decisive enough to be able to initially combine several people who have nothing to do with each other into a team in a short period of time. Isn't this what you want?"

"As for loyalty, the least thing to worry about is this. When the time comes, he will become loyal even if he is not loyal."

Gardner·Martin nodded gently:

"Observe him for a while and see who he will come into contact with."

After exchanging this topic, Gardner·Martin looked at the small suitcase on the table and asked curiously, "What is in it?"

"I said, you'd better pray that you never know." Trader, known as Olsen, smiled, picked up his suitcase, and left Study.

After walking a few steps in the hall, he suddenly felt that his head was a little crooked, so he raised his hands, pressed his head, and straightened it with a click.
