   Chapter 751 Forty-two. Main line branch dark line

  Katerina felt that she should have a good talk with Lu Li.

   "You have to get used to life here."

   Leaving the bustling entrance, Katarina whispered to Lu Li, "Life is worthless here. You see, that guy sells by the pound."

   "Countless people die every day, and you can't show kindness. He won't even thank us. He'll think this is what we should do, because I caught him and I owe him."

   "Have you heard of a story?" Lu Li said calmly. "The stranded fish."

  Caterina and Physius quietly listen to Lu Li tell the story. When Lu Li finished talking, the little boy threw the fish back into the sea, she retorted, "What if the storm has come?"

   The storm raged, the beach became an island, and the little boy who was trapped on the island and could be blown away by the storm at any time helped the stranded fish.

   "When everything around you becomes bad, you shouldn't adapt." Lu Li recalled the scene when Tesla calmly expounded this sentence.

   He took his last sip of coffee, put on his hat, and left the café with his cane.

   "but change."

  The silent Katarina is full of contradictions and entanglements. She sneered at its naivety as she longed for something that had vanished long ago in weird times.

   Only Purse, who yearned for the ground, sincerely admired: "Master Lu Li, you are such a good person."

   "It's a badass! A badass!"

   The eldest sister, who was lying on her shoulders, shouted loudly.

   Although Katarina criticizes Lu Li's kindness, it brings some obvious benefits.

  The old sewer information that should have been purchased with shillings was given away for free by the admired Luli.

  The old sewers extend in all directions, and the forked roads are like rat caves, which can be seen everywhere.

  This is usually divided into three types: the dome-shaped structure is the main line of the old sewer; the branch line that is irregular in shape but extremely wide; and the dark line that is arbitrarily expanded because the old sewer is a land without owners.

  The main line is the safest, but it only exists around Midnight City and some stations. The branch line is the widest, with veins all over the dark wilderness, from the surface layer to the deep layer, the surface layer is relatively safe. Dark lines are everywhere, some are connected to the main line and some are dead ends, and are inhabited and controlled by monsters as nests, and the ending is usually not very good.

   In addition to these three lines, there is also a "false sewer".

   Fake sewers could be a freak, maybe a bunch of freaks. It masquerades as a main or sideline - usually a sideline - and eats what comes in.

  The intricate and three-dimensional structure of the old sewer area is extremely difficult to distinguish, only the existence of long-term fixed life in one area will not get lost in the ground.

   "There is the dark line that is used as a nest." Purseus followed Lu Li's legs on all fours, his face looking to the left.

   A cave with fluorite inlaid everywhere opens up on the main line, meandering to the depths. A wooden sign is erected next to the entrance of the cave: [I want to make a hole in my mind]

  A figure with two lower bodies spliced ​​together passed by the wooden sign, and the wooden sign with the words [Ideased as a Hole] fell down, revealing another wooden sign that was blocked.

  【Dangerous and weird lair, be careful! 】

   "Let's go straight to Midnight City?" Katarina asked.

   "No way. The main line at Ghost Town Station is very small, and we have to take a long branch line to get to Midnight City Terminal."

   "The branch line is not safe..." Katarina frowned.

   "It's actually okay, the powerful weird families that control the branch generally don't like someone to make trouble on their territory." Pusius said. "Let's find Mai Mai first, and then take it to Midnight City Terminal."

   Its expression suddenly became low.

   "And tell it about Daidai's death..."

   "Mike?" Katerina asked.

  Puseus raised his face proudly: "My boy scout team member. It's a squirrel, the source of Boy Scout intelligence, it should be looking for information in the tavern now."

  【Good Safety Tavern】

   After walking 100 meters along the main line, a signboard composed of luminous powder hangs in front of a two-story shed on the roadside.

"right here!"

Under the leadership of   Puseus, Lu Li and Katerina entered this underground tavern, which was suspected to be related to the Cape of Good Hope Tavern.

  The smell of wine and food wafted in the tavern, and there was a stench like dead mice. There is only fluorite lighting here, which is darker than outside, but also more atmospheric.

  You can see the figure passing by outside the tavern from the gap between the wooden planks of the shed. There are not many guests, many of them are hunters in leather armor like Katerina.

   But their leather armor was darker in color, with dark brown dried blood sticking to it, and their eyes looking at Lu Li and the others were also full of scrutiny... and coveted.

  Puseus walked ahead with his tail tucked. The waiter behind the counter, who was wiping the stone wine glass, came out of the counter and greeted Pusius mockingly: "Our little human is here!"

   The guests burst into laughter.

   "I'm here to find Mai Mai."

   The more restrained Purse walked under the counter and raised his face.

   "Sure, but you know how to do it."

"Yeah, I know."

  Puseus left the counter, asked Lu Li and Katerina to wait for him, walked to the nearest wine table, jumped on the wooden chair, and jumped from the wooden chair to the wine table.

  The guests picked up the wine glasses in cooperation and gave Pusius a stage to show.

Prius raised his front legs and stood on the wine table with only two hind legs. The young boy sang a crisp song: "When we see flowers, we sing loudly; when we see love, we speak softly; see When it comes to the enemy, we roar loudly;"

  It is trying to imitate the dance of the stage actors, because of the hyena's body, it is like a funny performance.

   But his lithe singing belies that.

   "When danger floats from afar, don't let the flower crown on your lover's head fall into blood, raise your sword, and guard our homeland."

When the    singing ended, there was a commotion in the tavern, slamming the tables, stomping feet and shouting.

  Puseus saluted the "audience" humanely, jumped off the wine table, and returned to the counter.

   "You sang better than last time." The waiter put down the goblet and said, "It's upstairs."

   "I'm going to call Mai Mai." Prius and Lu Li said, climbing up the wooden stairs one by one and disappearing on the second floor.

   "What do you want?" The waiter turned to Lu Li and Katerina, who only had half a nose and a mouth, but seemed to be watching them.

   "No need." Katerina replied indifferently.

  The waiter said nothing, turned and left.

  The tavern gradually resumed its hustle and bustle. While waiting for the return of Pusius, Lu Li asked, "What is a spell hunter?"

   "A living being no different from the dead..." Katerina whispered. "Poisonous insects and curses are companions. I only know that they are dangerous and master terrible curses."

   At this moment, a scream suddenly came from upstairs.

   That was the voice of Purseus.

"problem occurs."

   Katerina pressed her eyes with her palm: "We'd better leave—"

   The words came to an abrupt end, and Lu Li, who heard the scream, had already stepped up the stairs.
