Juliana’s workshop Chapter 16: Actually there is only 1 choice

　　” Other teams have already walked the road to the northeast a while ago, and I guess they haven’t come out yet, or have found another way. But I’m not optimistic about this, let alone It may be dead below.” Hatchet said, “Going to pick up those dead people’s things is not a bad choice. At least we know that there is danger in that direction. There is always a sense of alertness… But the risk still exists. “

　　 After Chris pointed out the roads, as a short axe leading the team, he must think and analyze as a captain at this time, and which path should be chosen. As for why he had to say it, it was because he was the person who was hired. He had to let the employer choose. Of course, he also had the right to veto or leave.

　　 “Where will it lead?” Marina asked.

　　”Another rat path leads to the entrance of the sewer.” Hatchet replied, “Of course, it will be a long and dangerous journey. Most of the time, people don’t do this for the rat path in different locations. Do it, there is a road to go on the surface, why do you want to go to this place?”

　　 “Is this road dangerous?” Ikoo asked.

　　 Hatchet smiled and said, “I just said it. Recently, a team has walked this way, and then it seems to have disappeared-whether it’s because of being attacked by something deep underground, or because of other Strange thing. They really don’t have news, that’s the key. This means that this road may be dangerous, and it will only lead to another rat path, as well as other underground areas that have been explored for a long time. Staying away from the underground has become a very dangerous, but in a sense, a very safe place for criminals. Do you think the tavern we stayed in is disturbing? Then you think too much, the owner of the tavern is already in this underground world One of the few people who has a bit of kindness, if you have money, then he will be better. I declare in advance that those places have almost become strongholds of various underground organizations, and there is no value for exploration. You will only see people who sell you fake and shoddy things.”

　　 “Then we won’t take this road.” Marina said, “And this direction is not the way I want to go.” She finished speaking, and looked at the other channel, “Then this way Where will it lead?”

　　 “Another wider underground space, there are also various pipes and rat paths connecting the large and small spaces.” Short axe continued, “This is also the adventurer and scavenger of the rat path here. A place often visited by people, because it has not been explored yet, at least from the perspective of most people, it should not have been explored yet. God knows that there is still a secret space that has not been discovered yet.”

　　 “It’s dangerous, isn’t it?” Ikoo said.

　　 sneered at this short axe, “Of course it’s dangerous, Master, there is no safe place in this underground in an absolute sense, unlike yours on the ground. If you plan to turn around, I won’t have any objections, and will Half of the salary you gave me will be returned to you.”

　　 Ekoo, as long as he is not a fool, can hear that Hatchet is mocking, and he has no intention of covering up, so he will call him “Master”. To be called Master in this kind of place is not flattery, it’s just ridicule. Ikoo was unhappy, and when he was about to approach the hatchet, Marina grabbed his hand.

　　 “He’s right, there may be no safe place underground.” Marina said to him, “Since even the rumored rat passage is so messy, what is the sewer under the rat passage? Looks like, I think you, a local resident, should understand better than me.”

　　 When Marina said so, Ikeo lost most of the impulse to and the hatchet theory—perhaps with quarrels and fist theories—for him, Marina’s words were more effective than anything else. .

　　 “I don’t think Mr. Hatchet was taunting you on purpose.” Marina continued, “For the mercenaries they took on guard and guide missions, safety is more important than anything. Right, Mr. Hatchet? Marina turned her head and looked at the hatchet. The hatchet held the torch in one hand, and patted the pants with the other hand. He didn’t care about it. He didn’t look at Marina and Ikoo. “I sincerely hope that you rookies can leave the sewer, especially when picking up. After this kind of work, I have to bring a completely useless little girl.”

　　 “You can tell the truth and you are different from others, Mr. Hatchet.” Marina said, not seemingly angry about it. “I think it’s better for us to put aside these unnecessary arguments and focus on the immediate matter.” The meaning of Marina’s words is also very clear. No matter what Hatchet says, she and Ikeo will continue to go down the drain. Those who walk in the depths, as for Lulunaka, a drag that drags her back, she also has to take it with her. “Where the two roads in front of our eyes will lead, I already know, but there is another road under our feet.” She pointed to the hole in the ground, “Where does it lead.”

　　 “I don’t know.” Hatchet said. His answer made both Marina and Ikeo stunned, as if they hadn’t reacted. “You said you don’t know?” Marina frowned, “Is this hole only recently appeared? That’s why you don’t know anything about it?”

　　 “No, it has been around for a long time.” Hatchet said, “but few people will go down this third way. Thinking of the way deeper underground, there are many ways, no matter it is this way or which way, You can go step by step and think of ways to go deeper underground, but it will take more time, but it will be relatively safer.” Xiaoxu’s gaze turned to the two roads leading to the northeast and southeast, and then he looked again. Back to the entrance of the cave, “but this road is different. If there is any shortcut to hell, then the cave in front of you is just that, you don’t need to do anything, you don’t even need to bribe the ferryman in Styx with money, you You just need to jump down, and your eyes will go dark. After tens of seconds, maybe a few minutes, you will be in hell—because you have died below, or you have seen the hell-like scene below.”

　　 “But you know it’s dangerous down there,” Marina said. Short axe laughed a few times, “That’s because some of the hapless people survived, although they were either mad or disabled, and everyone was delirious and couldn’t describe what it was like below. There was once a The one who came back to the light and said before he died: There was water everywhere. After speaking, he died, and his whole body turned dark blue, as if his blood vessels were filled with water. That look was very disgusting. Just looking at it from a distance, I felt like something was gushing from my throat.”

　　 “There is water everywhere…” Marina walked to the edge of the hole and looked down. The entrance of the cave was pitch black, and there was nothing but darkness.

　　 “No matter how good your eyes are, you can’t see what’s underneath.” Hatchet said, “If you throw a rock down, you won’t even hear the sound of it falling or falling into the water. This goes down vertically. The channel is so deep that the sound from deep to the bottom cannot be heard. There may be water that floods the entire space below, so those who climb up alive will say that there is water everywhere.”

　　 “Can I throw a stone down?” Lulunaka, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, suddenly said to Hatchet, and looked cautious and worried that he might make Hatchet angry.

　　 Seeing Lulunaka’s cowering look, Hatchet just sighed and shook his head, “I’m glad you can listen to what I said at the beginning, and report to me before you want to do anything. If you want to. , Just throw it. Anyway, many people have thrown things into this cave, not only stones, but also corpses.”

　　 Lulunaka threw the small stone that he had already held in his hand into the hole~IndoMTL.com~ As Hatchet said, there was no sound, and the stone seemed to have fallen into a bottomless hole. Lulunaka stood on the edge of the hole, probed slightly above the hole, and then retracted again. “There is really no sound…how deep is this.”

　　 “Deep enough to destroy the corpse.” Chris, who had not spoken, suddenly interjected, making Lulu Naka startled and hiding behind Marina. “I don’t think there needs to be too much discussion. In fact, it’s just a choice.”

　　 As Mr. Cloak said, there are three paths in front of their team, but in fact there is only one choice.

　　 “Yes, if we want to go down, in fact, we can only choose the southeast direction.” Marina said, and then looked at Ikeo, “Is this okay?”

　　 Ikeo nodded, “I will follow you wherever you want to go.”

　　 These words sound like a man’s promise, and it’s easy to get a good impression… If it’s not in this kind of thing, it’s not in a person like Marina.

　　 Marina just smiled and shook Ikeo’s hand, “Thank you for staying with me, you didn’t need to do this.”

　　Looking at the attitudes of the two of them, the two of them probably didn’t just know each other, but the relationship was not too advanced yet–or Ikeo hadn’t gotten results yet.

　　 “Since there is only one way, let’s set off.” Short axe urged everyone behind, “Time is precious. The more time we waste, the less supplies will be made, and the fire will become dim. , If there is no fire, things in the dark may appear.”

　　 The five-man team continued to maintain the same formation, heading for the southeast passage. In the underground cave behind them, no sound came up until the end.
