Chapter 173 The Security Floor Murder Incident

The lower level is already very far from the ground, and it will take half a day for people who are familiar with the road to come here, so every time they enter the lower level to explore, they will return after two or three days.

Jiang Li set the exploration period to three days, and returned to the ground after three days, and continued to explore after two days of rest.

He himself doesn't care at all, but he also needs to consider the issues of Refia, the others and supplies.

Although there will be a lot of Lv.3 monsters in the lower level, the reduced strength gap between them and the monsters will greatly slow down Jiang Li's leveling speed.

Exploring the lower level once only increased his proficiency by two to three hundred points in total, which was incomparable to before. If this continues, it will take him at least two or three months to reach level 4.

"No expedition?"

Jiang Li often complains like this.

"Why so fast?"

Alicia complained very speechlessly: "It's only been a few days since the last expedition, and it will take at least a month before the next expedition is possible... Let's not talk about this, come and taste the bento I made!"

Refiya has been silent by the side, and she hasn't spoken much these days, as if she is thinking about some serious problem.

Jiang Li was just talking.

The expedition has to take into account the mobilization of materials, connections, etc., and it cannot be prepared in a few days, and he is well aware of this.

But he really likes big experience packs like Yuanzheng.

If there is an expedition, his speed of upgrading to Lv. 4 will be at least twice as fast.

"Let's go back today, it's almost noon."

After lunch, Alicia took out her pocket watch and proposed to the two of them.

"Also."

Jiang Li sighed.

"Speaking of which, does charm work on monsters?"

While urinating, Jiang Li found a monster and tested it.

As a result, the monster's expression suddenly became fanatical. Even if he held up the butcher knife, it had no intention of running away at all, as if willing to die.

That is to say, they can't communicate, otherwise they must obey what they say, which is just like brainwashing, so terrifying.

Some people may think that if this is the case, it is enough to use the charm to lure and kill monsters in a large area, but this is by no means the case. To improve proficiency requires exercise, not massacre.

There is no way to gain much proficiency by killing people who have no resistance, even if they kill higher-level monsters.

Those Lv.5s will go to the dungeon next time, even if they massacre Lv.4 monsters on a large scale, the proficiency improvement will be single digits at most. From Aisi’s expedition, the proficiency can only be increased by less than 20 points at a time. You can see how big the difference is.

Several people returned to the passageway on the 25th floor, and then went all the way back to the 18th floor.

By the time they reached the 18th floor, it was almost evening, and the three of them took a detour to Rivera Street, intending to take a rest here, have dinner, and replenish their exhausted strength.

However, as soon as they arrived on the 18th floor, several people found that the atmosphere here was completely wrong.

"It feels like the number of people is a bit small."

Looking at the very desolate street, Jiang Li couldn't help but feel confused.

Although Rivera Street is not big, there are at least 500 adventurers staying here. It is hard to say how prosperous and lively it is, but it is impossible for everyone to see it once they enter.

"The goods in this store are still there, but there are no people."

Refiya walked to a dilapidated item shop, shouted twice, but no one responded.

"...There seems to be a sound from the other side of the square."

Alicia listened for a while, then said thoughtfully.

The three of them made up their minds and decided to go to the square to have a look.

They had eaten up all the food they carried, not even portable food, so they had to find a place to eat.

Crystal Plaza.

The twin crystals destroyed by Phryne the Frog have been restored, standing in the center of the square, exuding colorful colors, and reflecting the place perfectly.

At this moment, just like at that time, all the adventurers in the street gathered here, making this place very noisy.

This time it was Jiang Li's acquaintance who did this kind of thing.

"Miss Ace?!"

Refia exclaimed.

When she saw the blond girl standing in the middle of the square, she couldn't help feeling flustered.

How to do how to do?

Miss Aisi sees me with Jiang Li, will she misunderstand the relationship between me and him? How should I explain it... Lefiya's mind was running wildly, and her heart was extremely nervous.

Alicia said that she is not an Airman.

"Jiang Li, you guys are here too?"

Ai Si couldn't help showing a slight surprise when she saw their figures, and then she took the initiative to walk towards them.

Refiya's expression froze for a moment.

Uh-huh? ?

I was the one who yelled just now, right?

Why was Miss Ace the first to call out his name?

"What happened here?"

"Someone was killed."

Under Jiang Li's inquiry, Ai Si explained softly.

Here's what happened last night.

The deceased was Hashana, a Lv.4 strong fist fighter from the Ganesha family. It is speculated that the person who killed him was the woman he brought to the hotel last night.

None of the deceased’s property was taken away, but the luggage showed traces of being rummaged, and the deceased’s head was roughly trampled to pieces, so it was deduced that the woman was looking for something but couldn’t find it, so she acted to vent her anger .

That woman is probably still in the streets of Rivera now, and they are gathering everyone together to find out the culprit.

"That's what Finn and the others plan."

Ace pointed not far away.

Finn, Riveria, Tione, and Tiona were all there, searching both men and women respectively.

"Does the Loki family still work as part-time detectives?"

"The security floor is very critical. If the criminal is not found, everyone will not be able to do business with peace of mind."

From here to the ground, it would take an average third-level adventurer two hours, not counting being attacked by monsters, so the streets on the safe floor are very valuable, and they are especially valued by senior adventurers.

If there is no more business here, then the adventurers will have to waste a lot of time and supplies going up and down the surface, which is not worth it, and the same is true for the Loki family.

So, it is necessary for them to resolve the dispute that happened here.

And that woman's ability to kill the Lv.4 Gang Fist Fighter proves that her strength is at least Lv.5. At this stage, only the Loki family can help solve it.

"Is that dog man trying to escape?"

When Aisi and Jiang Li were talking, Alicia suddenly spoke.

She pointed to a dog-man girl holding a medium-sized bag in the crowd, her wheat-colored face turned blue and white as if she was infected at the moment, she stood on the edge of the crystal square, watching the commotion in front of her in fear .

Then, she kept backing away, quickly fleeing from the Crystal Square without attracting anyone's attention.

"I'll go after it!"

Ai Si didn't hesitate, and immediately set off to chase the opponent like a gust of wind.

In the sky above the floor, a huge white crystal blooming like a stamen.

The light released from the crystal gradually weakened and eventually disappeared completely, replaced by the surrounding blue swarm crystals.

The town ushered in the night.
