Chapter 121 The reception room

When the scene was a little quiet, Shang Jianyao suddenly said in "terror":

"You want to kill someone to silence you?"

The butler Ulrich was stunned for several seconds before responding:

"Mr. Dimarco allows you to bring weapons, but not military exoskeletons."

Very confident... Jiang Baimian came to his senses, and after a little thought, he decided to agree:

"good."

No matter what reason Dimarco suddenly wanted to see them, this was a rare opportunity.

Moreover, before entering the "Ark of the Underground", you can also go to the church to report to ensure more safety.

When he went out to his own jeep, Jiang Baimian did not hide his doubts and directly asked Butler Ulrich:

"Why did Mr. Dimarco suddenly change his mind? He just refused our request for meeting yesterday."

Ulrich shook his head slowly:

"I'm not very clear. I just follow the instructions of my master."

Jiang Baimian was about to ask what unusual things happened in the "Ark Underground" until now last night, or what news Dimarco knew, Shang Jianyao asked curiously:

"Are you really sure that's Mr. Dimarco? He has been wearing a mask every day recently."

Good question... Jiang Baimian closed his mouth and waited for Ulrich to respond.

Ulrich glanced at the four members of the "old tuner group":

"If anyone among you is replaced, even if the disguiser's hair color, height, figure is very close to that person, and he has been wearing a mask, would you not recognize him?

"If it is just a brief contact in an emergency, it is indeed possible to be confused, but living together every day, habits, behaviors, hobbies, demeanor, and accents cannot be hidden from others unless it has been observed for many years in advance, and this is unlikely in the 'underground ark', and whoever dies is a matter of life."

"Indeed." Jiang Baimian agreed with Ulrich's statement.

After each got on the bus, they headed all the way to the Vigilance Church north of the city ruins.

After communicating with the warning Song He, the four of them, followed Ulrich to the basement floor and entered one of the elevator halls.

There are three thick gray-black elevators here, and two small LCD monitors are embedded in the partition area.

After video communication between Ulrich and the "Ark Underground", one of the elevators opened the door.

The interior of the car is well maintained, with wooden floors below, and the surrounding metal walls are light to tell the eye.

"The dedicated reception room is on the second floor of the underground, which will be relatively easier for you to escape from the ark." Ulrich introduced.

"Thank you." Jiang Baimian didn't know how to reply, so he simply started learning Shang Jianyao.

While speaking, the elevator door closed in front of them and the box slowly sank.

Soon, the elevator stopped, and the four of them in the "old adjustment team" saw a long beige carpet outside.

Along the thick carpet and the corridor with lit wall lights, they arrived at a room where there were a total of eight people guarding.

Two of them are also wearing gray-black military exoskeleton devices, which is obviously a newer model.

No wonder we were allowed to bring weapons... Long Yuehong suddenly realized.

The firepower of the "Ark Underground" has an absolute advantage!

Ulrich knocked on the door, waited for two seconds, and said:

"Master, the guest is here."

"Let them come in." A slightly magnetic voice came from the room.

Pushing open the red wooden door with relief, Jiang Baimian looked around habitually and saw the situation inside.

This seems to be a very normal reception room, with coffee tables, sofas, carpets, wooden cabinets, chairs, and crystal chandeliers. Apart from being more luxurious, there is nothing special about it.

At this time, there was only Dimarco in the room.

His sideburns were linen, and he wore a black priest robe with an old-world style, a vintage hoodie with the same color and a mask with a black background and white pattern. Because he was sitting, he didn't look very tall.

With a light blue eyes swept, Dimarco pointed to the sofa opposite the coffee table and said:

"Sit down."

After Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others sat down, butler Ulrich left the room and closed the heavy wooden door.

Dimarco was about to speak, but Shang Jianyao suddenly laughed:

"You are not a qualified vigilant sectarian."

Dimarco asked without anger, putting his right leg on his left leg:

“How to say it?”

His voice is a standard baritone with a little magnetic, using the pure old world rage lake area Red River language.

"Your guards are all outside the door. If we launch an attack without warning, we can subdue you before the two military exoskeleton devices come in and let you become hostages." Jiang Baimian explained on behalf of Shang Jianyao, "This is indeed not vigilant enough."

Dimarco leaned back slightly and laughed:

"Maybe it's because I have enough confidence?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Jianyao asked curiously and enthusiastically:

"Are you stronger than that fishman god envoy?"

Dimarco was speechless for a moment and said a few seconds later:

"Maybe there are other arrangements in the room."

He didn't continue this topic, raised his hand and touched his mask with black background and white patterns, and breathed:

"I'm here to come to you because I want to talk about the temple on the island in the middle of the lake and the tiger of Yan."

Yan Hu... the sleeping "god"? Jiang Baimian asked in surprise:

"Do you know Yan Hu? Did your ancestors know Yan Hu?"

She didn't expect that she was invited by Dimarco because she and others had explored the temple.

Dimarco leaned against the back of the single sofa and smiled:

"In the early years, when my great-grandfather and grandfather were still alive, I heard about the Lake Island and Yanhu.

"It was the end of the chaos, and the ark began to connect with the outside world and exchange supplies. The intelligence officers sent by my grandfather and the ruins hunters in the surrounding areas. Oh, that shouldn't be called this, because there is no organization called the Hunter Guild. In short, they all noticed the situation in the lake island and knew the existence of Yanhu.

"Yan Hu has shown extraordinary magical and powerful power and is treated as a god. After we accepted the vigilant sect and believed in "Yougu", we realized that this might be a very powerful awakened person.

"At first, we had too many things and had no chance to establish contact with the island in the middle of the lake, but later, they suddenly closed the island and no one went out again.

"Gradually, my grandfather and my father also forgot about this. Anyway, the changes in the island in the middle of the lake did not affect the ark.

"I heard last night that you went to the island in the middle of the lake and explored the temple of Yanhu. I suddenly became a little curious and wanted to invite you to have a chat."

This is probably not just a little curiosity... This incident can actually make you break the rules of the "underground ark" for many years and invite outsiders to enter... You and Yan Hu must have a certain connection... At this moment, several thoughts flashed through Jiang Baimian's mind.

"So that's how it is." She acted like I had understood everything and roughly explained her and Shang Jianyao's exploration. The only thing she didn't mention was that when Shang Jianyao used the awakened ability to influence the sleeping Yanhu, she saw someone crawling in the dark for help.

Dimarco tapped the armrest of the sofa with his right index finger and repeated a phrase thoughtfully:

"A new world..."

He seemed to care a lot about this.

A few seconds later, Dimarco looked around and said with a smile:

"Thank you for sharing. Don't you want to know about the old world? You can ask questions."

He did not draw the root of the matter, giving people the feeling that he did not care whether the "Qianbai Squad" had any hidden gains.

This is very contradictory to the concerns shown before.

Jiang Baimian calmed down his doubts and asked:

"Mr. Dimarco, your ancestors knew in advance that the old world would be destroyed?"

Dimarco shook his head:

"He is just a fanatical doomsday lover, and he is just rich and has a status."

"Are there any signs before the destruction of the old world? Have you ever encountered anything when you hide in the 'underground ark'?" Jiang Baimian asked.

Dimarco said in a memory tone:

"I heard from my grandfather that they first avoided the sudden war and decided to hide in the 'underground ark'. As a result, not long after, 'heart-free' broke out outside.

"It was not spared. Many servants turned into 'intentional people' without warning, causing a bloody chaos. My great-grandfather took my grandfather and other family members to further isolate them. Fortunately, 'intentional diseases' do not seem to be contagious."

Sure enough, disorderly wars and "heartlessness" are the superficial reasons for the destruction of the old world... Even those who hide underground in advance will get "heartlessness"? The company organized survivors to enter the underground building after the outbreak of "heartlessness"... Jiang Baimian remembered several key points and instead asked about other things.

After some exchange, they had a certain understanding of the ruins of the city of Redstone Game in the old world:

To the west and north of the Nu Lake area belong to the gray earth people, and to the east and south of the Nu Lake area enter the Red River Basin. To the south of the Nu Lake area, it is the national boundary between a country that speaks gray earth and a country that speaks Red River.

Therefore, some of the islands in the lake live in gray people, while some live in Red River people.

The ruins of the city of Hongshiji are located in the southeast corner of Nuhu Lake. They originally belonged to the Red River country, but because they were border cities, many gray earth people immigrated to settle down, and the population proportion exceeded 30%.

Dimarco's ancestors were the largest builder in the country to which the city belonged, and maintained good relations with several local councillors.

"Thank you for your answer." After confirming that Dimarco could not squeeze out more information related to the destruction of the old world, Jiang Baimian said thank you sincerely, and then added, "We have two simple questions."

Without giving Dimarco the chance to refuse, she asked directly:

"Have you ever seen a ruin hunter named Lars?"

While speaking, she took out the photo given by Lehman.

"Lals?" Dimarco suddenly laughed, "You can go back and tell Lehman that Lars found his true love in the ark. If he doesn't believe it, you can come to the alert church and I let Lars talk to him about the video."
