Chapter 434: Sheriff Yahan (2 in 1)
When Norton fell, the three transformed giant corpses also instantly lost their ability to move and stood still in place.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi left the fighting state at the same time.
Bai Xiaowen put away a group of summoned creatures, carefully bypassed the area covered by the frost poison, and ran wildly with Li Shuyi one after the other.
Passing through coffin-shaped sealed boxes along the way, the two came to the exit stairs of the cellar. Large chunks of mud and rock fell down, but Bai Xiaowen and the two escaped from the underground research institute safely and reached the ground.
After rushing out of the cellar, both of them could feel the ground rumbling and shaking, like a precursor to an earthquake.
The underground research institute excavated by Norton covers a vast area, almost hollowing out the underground of the entire street. The collapse of the underground research institute was no different from a small-scale earthquake. Now, cracks had appeared on the street floor, and other residents screamed and ran out.
With a bang, the underground research institute collapsed completely, and smoke and dust rose everywhere. Most of the street collapsed, and the ground sank five or six meters! On the ground, huge cracks spread one after another, devastated everywhere.
Under the collapsed houses, there were bursts of screams for help, which should have suppressed many residents of Hodge Town who had not had time to escape.
"Oh my God!" Li Shuyi exclaimed, "What should I do now?"
Bai Xiaowen glanced at Li Shuyi. He could understand what Li Shuyi was thinking. He probably wanted to evacuate and rescue these innocent residents, but he was worried that Bai Xiaowen had other plans, so he cast his eyes for consultation.
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly: "Save, look at the number of living people under the collapsed house, if you can save one, it is one."
Li Shuyi agreed, but she was a little strange, and said with a smile: "You don't seem to be such a caring person."
Bai Xiaowen smiled faintly: "Hurry up and soon we will come into contact with the Sheriff of Hodge Town."
Li Shuyi had an epiphany, curled her lips at Bai Xiaowen, then ran to the side of the "Akeia's Cauldron" shop, opened a collapsed wall, and pulled a Hodge Town resident out.
Bai Xiaowen recalled creatures such as the skeleton knife shield hand, and also devoted himself to the great cause of saving lives.
After the underground research institute collapsed, Bai Xiaowen got a hint.
"A-level elite side mission: Secret of Voodoo Cult completed. Completion evaluation: s.
"
"Based on your completion evaluation, you have been rewarded with power points: 10,000 points."
"Your reputation in Voodoo has been greatly reduced, and the current reputation level is: Hostile."
"Your reputation in the Holy See of Light has increased, and the current reputation level is: friendly."
"Your team gained 400 experience points."
Squad experience, the upgrade is the level of the elite squad, which Bai Xiaowen doesn't really care about, because most of the A-level elite missions are combat experience (awakened people upgrade). After completing this challenge task, Bai Xiaowen's combat experience bar climbed to 68% of level 5, while Li Shuyi's leveling up was even faster, reaching 81% of level 5.
You must know that Bai Xiaowen stayed in the treasure space of Necromancer Lake for several days to practice his combat skills and specialties. He earned a few days more combat experience than Li Shuyi, but now he is still overtaken by Li Shuyi. Compared with hero-level occupations, elite occupations can be upgraded faster.
There was a burst of dense footsteps, and then a loud voice came:
"The first team and the second team, in groups of two, rescued the victims. The others evacuated with me and sent the injured to an open area"
Bai Xiaowen glanced at the street corner, a group of well-dressed and fully armed soldiers quickly dispersed under the orders of a strong man, and started the rescue work in an orderly manner.
Come to think of it, this big man is Yahan, the sheriff of Hodge Town.
Bai Xiaowen's skeleton knife and shield hand belongs to the undead summoned creature, which is very conspicuous in the field. Yahan, who was directing, quickly noticed.
"Undead creatures?" Yahan quickly walked in front of Bai Xiaowen, looking up and down, "Are you the master of these monsters? An undead summoner? It's strange, I seem to have seen you before, right here"
"Mr. Sheriff, I'll talk about the gossip later. Now I just want to save people!" Bai Xiaowen ignored Yahan and turned to Li Shuyi, "Charlotte, help me lift this pillar up."
Prompt information on the rules of the spirit world:
"Hodge Town Sheriff Alexey Yahan's favorability for you has increased, and the current favorability level is: neutral."
This kind of strong person in the spirit world can increase the feeling of favorability, which is very refreshing.
Yahan was not angry, but stepped forward quickly, supported the pillar with one hand, carried it on his shoulder lightly and deftly, and then signaled Bai Xiaowen to drag out the wounded under the pillar.
The corners of Bai Xiaowen's eyes twitched a little. Huoqi Town's buildings are mainly made of earth and stone structures. This stone pillar may weigh three to four tons. Yahan can hold it with one hand so easily, its strength can be imagined.
However, Bai Xiaowen didn't have any strange expression. After rescuing the wounded, he immediately threw himself into the ruins of the next house, and was very busy. Still, he sneaked an insight into Sheriff Ahan.
Alexey Yahan (boss level 8)
Race: Humanoid/Human
Occupation: Great Warrior
Attributes: Strength 79, Dexterity 30, Constitution 50, Spirit 20
Skill 1: Brute Force: Passive skill, when Yahan uses a two-handed weapon, the damage will be increased by 20%, and it will cause extra real damage to targets whose strength is lower than 60% of his own, and there is a certain chance of adding a disability effect.
Skill 2: Unyielding: After being affected by negative status and control skills, Ahan's strength value will increase by an additional 10%, which lasts until the end of the combat state. This effect can stack up to 3 layers.
Skill 3: Battle Roar: Yahan utters an inspiring roar, increasing the attack power of all friendly troops within 100 meters by 10 points for 30 seconds.
Skill 4: ? ? ?
Skill 5: Firm Will LV3: Yahan's HP increases by an additional 500 points, and the duration of abnormal status and control effects is reduced by 50%.
"What is the origin of the Kuroshio plane? A sheriff is so fierce!"
Bai Xiaowen muttered secretly.
This sheriff named Yahan is completely inferior to being a sheriff of a town. First of all, the surrounding attribute of the explosion, and then there are the legion skills like "Battle Roar", coupled with the violent output skills like "Brute Force", on the battlefield, it is definitely a fierce player.
Another thing that surprised Bai Xiaowen was Yahan's general skills.
As a high-level boss, it is normal to have resilience skills that increase extra health and reduce control effects. However, Yahan's skill level is actually lv3! What is the concept? In the treasure land space of Necromancer Lake, Eliki, the general leader of the snake tribe, has the skill level of "snake leader" only at lv2.
Bai Xiaowen now understands where the 50% reduction in the difficulty of the main task is reflected in the prefix "speculation" of the ticket.
This Yahan sheriff is definitely a person with a story, so it is not easy to deceive. If Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi appeared rashly as strangers and came into contact with Yahan, they might not be able to win the trust of the sheriff, and they might be regarded as suspicious elements instead.
It's much easier now, the two of them are "neighbors" on the same street as Yahan, and Yahan has some impressions of them, so the difficulty of winning Yahan's trust has been greatly reduced. After gaining Yahan's trust, the work of cracking the missing persons case was easy.
Bai Xiaowen only needs to solve the puzzle, and when there is a fight, just close the door and let the sheriff go! Then the opponent plays gg.
In this collapse incident, more than 70 people were injured and three died, including Mr. Akaia, the owner of "Akaia's Cauldron".
"You two come with me and tell me what's going on," Yahan called Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi aside, "I remembered, you are brothers and sisters who live on Windmill Street, right? Why did you appear here? My intuition Tell me, this incident should be related to you."
Li Shuyi secretly glanced at Bai Xiaowen. The work of dealing with the powerful in the spirit world, referred to as the work of fooling around, is best left to Bai Xiaowen.
"We found this place all the way to investigate the recent missing persons case."
Bai Xiaowen's voice was a little low, and there was a trace of regret that couldn't be concealed on his handsome face.
"Missing persons? Have you found the murderer?" Yahan asked in surprise.
Bai Xiaowen nodded: "Yes, the man behind the disappearance is a voodoo alchemist. He has a secret evil laboratory in the underground of the commercial street. I saw with my own eyes that he used the corpses of the dead to make up a transformed A giant corpse, conducting brutal experiments. My sister and I fought fiercely with him and killed him with all our strength. But I didn’t expect that before he died, he would activate the mechanism that collapsed the underground laboratory.”
Bai Xiaowen sighed, looking remorseful.
Yahan frowned like a blade, turned around and shouted to the patrol soldiers: "Clean up the ruins of the street! There is an evil underground laboratory here, dig it out!"
A group of elite soldiers with ordinary templates responded loudly and continued to work without complaint. It can be seen that Yahan's management of the patrol team is still very effective. In a big way, he has the ability to manage the army.
Bai Xiaowen knew well that Yahan still had some doubts about him, so he ordered the excavation. But it doesn't matter, when the laboratory is dug up, Yahan will definitely believe him.
A more clever way of lying is nine truths with one lie sandwiched between them.
In Bai Xiaowen's statement, voodoo alchemists, evil laboratories, transformed giant corpses, etc. are all true. Only one sentence is false, and that is the "motivation", or the starting point. Bai Xiaowen knew very well that Norton, the voodoo alchemist, had nothing to do with the missing persons case. His motivation for finding Norton was the mission of "Secrets of Voodoo".
However, in Yahan's eyes, as long as the information about voodoo and the transformation of giant corpses is true, then he will naturally trust Bai Xiaowen's motives. This is the benefit of nine truths and one falsehood.
There is a better way to lie than nine sentences of truth and one sentence of falsehood. That is to tell the whole truth, but hide the most critical one or two sentences of information, so that the other party will misunderstand and go astray. But here, such high-end ones are not used. way of lying.
It didn't take long for soldiers from the patrol team to report that they had dug up damaged alchemy vessels, boxes containing corpses, and so on.
Yahan looked at Bai Xiaowen with a much friendlier look.
He nodded and said: "Since you are for the safety of Hodge Town and also destroyed the evil laboratory of voodoo, then I can not hold the responsibility for this incident. However, if you encounter such a thing in the future, you Let me know in advance. You two brothers and sisters are also residents of Hodge Town and belong to my protection objects. It would be too reckless to rashly find the villains of voodoo. I don't want to see the list of missing persons. Add a new name."
Bai Xiaowen sincerely apologized: "No, in the future, whenever we brothers and sisters find any dangerous factors that affect the safety of Hodge Town, we must report them as soon as possible."
Yahan asked again: "I am a little surprised by the skills of the two of you. You two have always been apprentices in the bread mill, right? You have this level of strength."
Bai Xiaowen told a lie, he met a wandering adventurer, saw that the two brothers and sisters were talented, and then gave some teachings, and then the two brothers and sisters have always followed the teacher's teachings, did not show their strength easily, and lived an ordinary life In this town, the two brothers and sisters were determined to stand up and investigate the truth until the missing persons case appeared and people panicked.
Under normal circumstances, Yahan probably wouldn't believe this lie fabricated by Bai Xiaowen. However, the two brothers and sisters Bai Xiaowen are residents of Hodge Town themselves, and they live on the same street with him, so they have a basic level of trust. In addition, the just-excavated voodoo evil laboratory also confirmed that Bai Xiaowen did not lie. Therefore, Yahan also accepted Bai Xiaowen's rhetoric, and did not delve into it.
Mentioning the case of missing persons, Yahan breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go, I want to see with my own eyes the corpses in those sealed boxes. If Voodoo is behind the case of missing persons, then I would like to tell the mayor and Hodge The people of the town can be regarded as having an explanation." He shook his head, looking a little embarrassed.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi followed behind Yahan, and Li Shuyi asked through the team channel: "It's strange, from Yahan's point of view, he should be happy when the missing persons case is solved, why does he look a little depressed."
"It's a good thing that the case was solved, but the missing people have turned into corpses. With so many dead people, it's reasonable for him to be in a bad mood. In addition, he didn't solve the case. As a policeman, as a magistrate , Mr. Yahan must be very disappointed."
Bai Xiaowen paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "However, the two of us know the truth. Voodoo Norton has nothing to do with the missing persons case. So there is no need for Mr. Yahan to be lost. The man behind the scenes has not been found. There is still work to do.”
