"I saw him. I heard that he came to the hospital with you and that kid. But he didn't stay in the hospital for long and was taken away by his brother. He hasn't shown up yet."

The second cobbler frowned as he spoke, "I do understand that the Ninth Pier became the territory of the Huo family two or three years ago. No one knew about it, they just thought it belonged to the Situ family. There are guards there. Most of the people here are from the Huo family, but with the fall of the Situ family this time, they have all been evacuated."

"Not to mention those on the shore, at least there is no one left in the Huo family in the underwater base. So the monster you met that can pretend to be a human and still has no flaws... I don't know what it is, but I can guarantee that, It’s not from the Huo family. The Huo family doesn’t raise such things.”

“So what I thought is indeed correct, it is a third-party force?”

Lin Wu was even more confused, "Other than the Huo family and the Gu family, who would want a bright weapon? Did the Huo family offend anyone?"

The second cobbler said: "This thing can come and go freely inside. It's obviously not the first time, and it has been there for a long time. Being able to do this means that one's own strength is very powerful, and the power behind it cannot be underestimated. Look at it. But the Huo family is a group that attaches great importance to seclusion. They will not offend such a force, nor will they let such a force know their details and where their territory is."

 So no matter what, it’s very strange that this thing appears under Pier 9.

Lin Wu had a flash of idea, "Could it be that...the Huo family actually knows about this monster and is working with him?"

"You just said that the Huo family had evacuated long ago, probably because they were afraid that others would discover them. But their things are still under the water. To ensure that no one discovers their traces, it is inconvenient for them to send people to get the evidence. So you found someone to help them?"

 However, before the second cobbler could say anything, Lin Wu himself rejected the idea.

"If that's the case, the Huo family could have told the monster directly what the weapon was, and he could have taken it away early. Why did he have to stay in there for so long?"

"When I found the reservoir, he obviously didn't know where the Buddha's head was. He only found out after I opened my spiritual eyes to confirm it. This doesn't make sense."

"Besides, they have already sent Leng Linfeng. We can let Leng Linfeng take away the weapon together, so as not to find anyone again, which would be troublesome and more likely to expose his traces."

The more he thought about it, the more Lin Wu felt that it was unlikely that the Huo family and the monster were in the same group.

The second cobbler was startled when he heard what she said, and suddenly said: "Wuwu, you just said that the monster was identified by you?"

Lin Wu hummed.

The second cobbler looked slightly condensed, "I think these should be two separate things."

Lin Wu: "?What do you mean?"

"Before, I actually didn't know that the artifact was under the Ninth Pier. I even thought the artifact was in the hands of the Gu family. I knew that the Ninth Pier belonged to the Huo family because most of the Situ family's goods passed through Ghost Street. Many of the goods collected do not look like the style of the Situ family, but more like those of the Huo family, so I guessed that the Situ family and the Huo family have contacts."

“But at that time, I didn’t feel that the Situ family and the Huo family were in the same boat.”

The cobbler said slowly and coldly.

“Because what the Huo family is best at is secretly dismantling and infiltrating other people’s forces.”

"I thought the Huo family had finally set their sights on the exposed weapon that might be in the Gu family. They found that the Gu family was not easy to deal with, so they wanted to contact the Gu family by infiltrating into the Situ family and quietly take away the exposed weapon. Therefore, although in recent months, Come, I found that the Ninth Pier has become owned by the Huo family, and there are also many Huo family members mixed in. I am not surprised, and I am waiting for the Huo family's next step."

As soon as his words changed, his tone became serious: "But now, it turns out that the Situ family and the Huo family are on the same rope, and the bright weapon is also at the ninth pier, right under the eyes of the Huo family. You think, it is the Situ family Even if you are on both ends, you are also leaning towards the Gu family. If you put the exposed weapon in to test it at the Gu family's request, won't the Huo family be able to find out?"

Lin Wu's mind turned quickly and he instantly understood what the cobbler meant. She said: "There is another possibility. If the Huo family ordered the Situ family to put the exposed weapon in, and aroused the suspicion of the Gu family, then the exposed weapon would not be important to them. They would not be stupid enough to take one. Risking something that is a secret to their tribe. If it’s really not important, they can just abandon it now.”

“But someone picked it up, which shows that this artifact is still very important.”

"However, the possibility you mentioned is theoretically inconsistent with the possibility I guessed, so they are neither. In other words, the Huo family left important artifacts on the territory they absolutely control. There is indeed an important The purpose is not related to the Gu Huo family."

"In fact, few people know that the Gu family went to the scene after the rebellious Huo family died, and the Huo family may not know either. So their purpose from the beginning to the end was not against the Gu family, but Another one whose role we don’t know.”

"And I helped them accomplish their purpose by accident, right?"

 The cobbler nodded nervously.

Lin Wu took a deep breath and continued: "In this way, the Huo family should have two purposes for the base under the Ninth Pier. The first one is the purpose derived from the Buddha's head. Although I don't know yet. What, but it is obviously very important to them. The second purpose is to blow up the entire base and the reservoir area, leaving no one behind."

“Both of these things are important, and it makes perfect sense to send two different people to complete them.”

“In this way, the monster and the Huo family may be on the same boat.”

"good."

The second cobbler responded.

 That's what he meant.

After thinking for a while, the second cobbler added: "If that's the case, where did the Huo family find such a monster? It's worth investigating. Whether they only have one monster like that, or... there are many of them, is a very important question. question."

If the Huo family can come up with more monsters like that, then the Huo family will undoubtedly be more difficult to deal with than they think.

The second cobbler also didn’t want Lin Wu to continue investigating.

 He is just a student, and he doesn’t want her to one day...

Thinking of this, the cobbler felt his head hurt even more.

"In the past few years, the Huo family has become more wary of me. They contact me less and less, and many things will no longer go through me. I don't have much useful information that I can provide you. However, this Leng Linfeng, I want to come They are the ones who trained me to succeed me. If you want to check anything else, you can start with him."

The second cobbler looked deeply at Lin Wu, and as he spoke, he couldn't help but advise: "I still say the same thing, if you can't do the investigation, don't do it. You are still young, don't put yourself in such danger. Do you think you will be as lucky as this time to survive next time? What will the teacher do if something happens to you? Who will support you until you die?"

Lin Wu listened to him without saying a word before saying, "It's too late."

 Er Cobbler: "?"

Lin Wu said calmly: "I already know the secrets of the reservoir base under the Ninth Pier, and Leng Linfeng also knows that I have discovered it. The Huo family will also know."

She tilted her head to look at the second cobbler with difficulty, and innocently said something that made the second cobbler's expression suddenly change: "Now it's not that I can retreat if I want to, but the Huo family will never let me go."
