Chapter 1117 The Workplace Environment in the New Era

"Loki?" The old man was stunned when he heard this, "Is Loki here too? When."

The blank look on his face did not seem to be fake, which meant that he had not seen Loki at least in recent times.

Of course, this does not mean that Loki has never been here. Considering the latter's ability to transform, he can easily transform into a bird or insect or something and carry the old man on his back to the island without anyone noticing, and even It is also possible to directly find the place where Jörmungandr sleeps.

But in this case, Zhang Heng and Fan Meinan's original plan would come to nothing, and they would not be able to learn about Loki's whereabouts from the old man.

In fact, although it was β who led the three people to this abandoned subway line this time, Zhang Heng was still able to detect Loki's shadow behind this incident. However, Zhang Heng was a little bit unclear about Loki's purpose. What is it.

Is the other party targeting him? Because Fan Meinan failed to do anything to him, he asked β to lure him here, hoping to kill him with the help of the black python on the island? If that's the case, then Loki underestimated him a little too much, or did Loki just want to use his hand to kill the black python, so that he and Jörmungandr would become enemies?

This conclusion seems to be the most likely at present.

But Jörmungandr, as a monster that appears in Twilight of the Gods, has many enemies. Not one of the gods in Asgard would want to kill it. If Zhang Heng hadn't been so unlucky, he would have just appeared. In its lair, Jörmungandr probably has no intention of seeking revenge on Zhang Heng.

When fighting the black python, Zhang Heng once suspected that Jörmungandr would come in some way after he eliminated the black python, but now the old man's words overturned this possibility.

As a result, Zhang Heng was a little confused about what Loki wanted to do this time, because the latter's plan now seemed to be a bit anticlimactic, with big thunder but little rain.

But then Zhang Heng's expression changed, as if he thought of something again, and asked the old man, "Did anyone else come to the island just now?"

The old man's expression changed slightly. He remembered the explanation of the unknown woman and wanted to deny it on the spot. However, he knew that his first reaction must have been seen by Zhang Heng. If he denied it now, it would be a cover-up, so he was a little embarrassed. , I didn’t know what to say, so I could only respond in silence.

"…………"

In fact, the old man is more confused than Zhang Heng now. He can no longer figure out the relationship between the unknown woman and Zhang Heng. According to the former, Zhang Heng is her boss, and he came here specifically to solve the problem for the boss. It was troublesome, but she had been busy for such a long time, and it seemed that she didn't want her boss to know her existence. Before leaving, she specifically told the old man not to tell Zhang Heng about her going to the island.

The old man could only lament that he had stayed on the island for too long and could no longer adapt to the complex workplace environment of the new era.

Fortunately, Zhang Heng didn't ask any more questions. He knew he wouldn't get an answer from the old man, so he closed his eyes and rested for about half a minute. Then he jumped off the snake corpse and got on the small wooden boat.

The old man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This is the tragedy of a counselor-type person. Although he is Jörmungandr's brain in the outside world and is responsible for taking care of everything outside while Jörmungandr is sleeping, the black giant python died. After all, he can't beat anyone now. He can neither offend the woman of unknown origin nor Zhang Heng in front of him. He can only walk on thin ice between the two.

After Zhang Heng got on the boat, he quickly rowed the wooden boat to the submarine tunnel that connected the water pool. Then he took out two sets of old-fashioned scuba equipment from the boat and handed one of them to Zhang Heng, but the latter waved his hand and refused. .

"I don't use this thing."

The old man was not too surprised. After all, since Zhang Heng could come here, he could also go back from here. Not long ago, the opponent had a fierce battle with Ah Hei in the sea for more than forty minutes. Ah Hei once dived I reached the bottom of the sea, but still couldn't escape.

So the old man then put on his own set of diving equipment. His movements seemed a bit unfamiliar, and he even studied the use of a respirator. At the same time, he did not forget to explain to Zhang Heng, "This tunnel is just a tunnel that Ah Hei usually gives to snakes." It’s for feeding. As for the believers having other ways to enter and leave the island, I didn’t expect anyone to be able to come out here, so at first I thought you were a believer who came to the island.”

Zhang Heng nodded, said nothing, picked up his travel bag, and followed the old man.

Then the two of them went into the water and entered the submarine tunnel. When they came, there was a lot of turbulence in this submarine tunnel, but the general flow direction was from the pool to the sea. Zhang Heng originally thought that it would be more difficult to go back against the current. , he had even made plans to use his ability to control water flow to send the two of them back.

But I didn't expect that after entering it and swimming less than half a meter, the direction of the turbulent currents magically changed, from inside to outside to outside to inside. It didn't take long for the two of them to be sent back again. Arriving at the snake head carved in stone.

As soon as he ascended to the water pool, Zhang Heng heard Malu's shout, and there was a bit of urgency in the voice.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Heng asked Ma Long, who was lying at the entrance of the hole, after climbing up the hole. The latter looked like an ant on a hot pot and said anxiously when he saw Zhang Heng.

"Miss Fan is gone! Not long after you went down, Miss Fan told me that she didn't want to sit here and wait, and wanted to see if she could find anything that could help you. I also wanted to help, so she told me Let me think of a way to make a rope, and then we separated. I was on the second floor, and she was on the first floor... After about twenty minutes, I went down to look for her, but when I got to the first floor, I found that she was missing. I shouted loudly but no one answered.”

Malu's first words made Zhang Heng's heart sink. He turned around and asked the old man following him, "Is there anything else here?"

As a result, the old man shook his head when he heard this, "No, this subway line has been closed for decades, and no one has come in. We use this place to raise snakes. In fact, the snakes are usually very quiet." They stay in the tunnel and only crawl out when they want to eat. They are very well-behaved."

However, Zhang Heng knew that no one had come here. He had basically cleared away the snakes in the tunnel before, and the rest could not cause any trouble. Therefore, Fan Meinan's disappearance most likely had nothing to do with the snakes. But Zhang Heng has not forgotten that Loki's agent β once entered here before them. The surveillance video he retrieved did not see β leaving before, so the latter is very likely to still be here.

If there is anyone who is most likely to attack Fan Meinan, it is β.
