Chapter 252: No Insider, some Priest Jokes (6k)

The days passed in a seemingly calm but actually turbulent atmosphere for a while.

Russell sat outside the president's office, looked at the orange sunset outside the window, and stretched: "It's time to get off work."

Although he knew that Guiyi Sect must have been hiding something, he had no choice for a while because the other party had not revealed its true colors.

In this case, he had to get on with his life. He could only ask his men to strengthen patrols to see if they could find any clues.

It's easy to block an open spear, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark.

This is also the pain point of the association's huge business.

"Knock, knock, knock."

However, just as Russell was about to get off work, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Russell was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that someone would come to look for him at this time: "Come in."

But when he saw the person coming, Russell was stunned.

The person who came in was Lao Wang, a clerk in the Human Resources Management Department.

"Where is Director Yu?"

He was a little surprised at this time. Logically, even if the Human Resources Department had something to ask him, it should be Yu Hengrui who came in person.

"Did he slack off again?"

Russell thought to himself.

Thinking of the injured middle-aged man who often left early, he could only think of this reason for a while.

Obviously, Lao Wang also knew the good style of his director. At this time, he just smiled awkwardly and handed a document to Russell: "Director Yu has recently taken sick leave and has not come to the headquarters for several days."

"This is the attendance record of the association headquarters this month. You, the president, need to approve it."

Russell was stunned and took the document subconsciously: "Gold-level card makers can also get sick?"

Although the middle-aged man who is the director of the Human Resources Department was indeed injured, it is still difficult to make a gold-level card maker sick.

If this was before he crossed over, it would be reasonable to say that he had caught a cold in the autumn.

Russell just thought that Yu Hengrui was looking for an excuse to slack off.

But no matter what, not coming to work for several days in a row is a bit too much.

He decided to visit the other party later to see what the situation is.

As for Lao Wang coming to see him, he can understand it now. After all, Yu Hengrui is not here, and only he and Lu Yan can make the decision.

After looking through the documents in his hand, Russell signed his name on it, but did not hand it to Lao Wang immediately. Instead, he asked him strangely: "Is the sick leave rate of the Logistics Department a bit high this month?"

The Logistics Department is the department responsible for miscellaneous work in the association, and the staff are basically ordinary people and black iron-level card makers.

Just now, Russell found in the data that this month, or more precisely, the number of absentees in the Logistics Department in the recent period has increased significantly compared to before.

Hearing this, Lao Wang scratched his head: "Maybe I didn't pay attention to the temperature recently in autumn and caught a cold?"

He was only responsible for statistics, and he didn't know the specific reason.

Because most of the reasons given by the absentees were just physical discomfort.

Russell pulled the corner of his mouth, and didn't expect Lao Wang to directly say what he had just said about Yu Hengrui.

He handed the document back to Lao Wang with a headache: "Okay, you go back first."

Looking at Lao Wang who hurried out of the president's office, he couldn't help but sigh: "The upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked"

"It would be better if Liu Yu took over the Human Resources Management Department."

Russell always felt that the entire Human Resources Management Department had been led astray by Yu Hengrui.

After Lao Wang left, no one else stopped Russell from leaving get off work. He packed his clothes and prepared to visit Yu Hengrui, who had not been seen for several days.

There is no need to prepare flower baskets, just use Spider-Man's rations.

Although Spider-Man might protest if he knew.

"Ding Dong."

Looking at the quiet villa in front of him, Russell rang the doorbell.

Soon, the door of the villa was opened from the inside: "President."

However, when Russell saw the person who opened the door, he was shocked: "Director Yu, how did you get into this state?"

At this time, Yu Hengrui appeared in Russell's eyes with a haggard face and a shriveled body, as if he would not live long.

Yu Hengrui smiled bitterly and stepped aside: "President, come in and talk."

When he came to the living room, Russell saw that the middle-aged man wanted to pour him a glass of water, so he quickly stopped him.

He was afraid that the other party would just stick out.

Soon, several ghost soldiers started to make arrangements beside the two.

After a while, Yu Hengrui took a sip of the hot tea in his hand and said, "President, I'm sorry to embarrass you."

Russell frowned and stretched out his hand to stop him from speaking: "Let's not talk about greetings."

"What's wrong with you like this?"

Hearing this, Yu Hengrui was silent for a moment, and then pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's an old problem. There is such a period every year."

It's no secret in the Donglai Card Master Association that Yu Hengrui was seriously injured, but Russell only knew now that he would become like this.

"Have you been to the hospital?"

Hearing Russell's question, Yu Hengrui laughed dumbly: "Of course, President, do you think I'm not afraid of death?"

"But the doctors didn't find anything, just said it was the same as in previous years."

The doctor Yu Hengrui found must not be an ordinary person, but a card maker with medical cards.

After the examination, the doctor didn't find anything unusual, and just told him to have a good rest.

But he knew his situation very well, and there was only one possibility for his condition to suddenly deteriorate.

"I may be almost there."

His calm voice reached Russell's ears.

The tea cup in Russell's hand shook slightly, and he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

In fact, he and the middle-aged man beside him didn't know much about each other. They came to visit him this time just to give him a slap in the face and tell him not to go too far.

But who would have thought that this would be the case?

Russell drank all the tea in the cup and then prepared to leave.

At this time, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a family photo hanging on the wall. Yu Hengrui in the photo had a bright smile, which was completely opposite to the middle-aged man in Russell's impression.

"Director Yu, take a good rest and don't think too much."

"I will let Lao Wang take care of the matters in the Human Resources Management Department first. Don't be burdened."

After speaking, he put down the teacup in his hand and left the villa.

Outside the villa, Russell looked at the dark night sky and couldn't help but muttered: "That seems to be my tea cup."

He shook his head. Losing a few teacups didn't hurt him, and Russell didn't take it to heart.

What he is thinking now is that something is not right about Yu Hengrui's current precipitous decline. After all, he is also a gold-level card maker.

Moreover, you must know that during the period when Russell came to Donglai, Yu Hengrui basically did not do any heavy work. The only time he led a team was the night when Sima Huai was assassinated, but he actually did not encounter the enemy.

Russell always had a vague feeling of weirdness, but he couldn't find the specific source.

"Tsk"

He kicked away the stones at his feet with some irritation.

Looking back at the quiet villa, Russell left the place instantly.

In the underground space, Li Shuo stood in front of the blood pool and looked at the young man who had completely lost his human form in mid-air. A satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Son, don't blame me."

Then, he looked at Cliff who was standing aside: "When can the next sacrifice be performed?"

When Cliff heard this, he looked down at the tablet instrument in his hand expressionlessly: "Don't worry, you can make the last sacrifice after it is fully hatched."

"But don't go out during this period. After all, your fighting power is at present."

"I'm afraid you will be beaten to death by Russell."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man in red robe could not help but twitch his cheeks.

Although he knew that Cliff was telling the truth, and that he was indeed a little embarrassed when he came back last time, it was too unpleasant to hear.

As if to take care of his emotions, Cliff then added: "But when the plan is completed, not to mention Russell, even those master card makers may not be your opponent."

As a scientific researcher, drawing pie is definitely a must-have skill.

After all, scientific researchers who cannot make ppt are not good scientific researchers.

You can't even draw a pie, but you still expect your boss to invest in you?

Hearing this, Li Shuo's face paled slightly, but he also understood that Cliff was just trying to make a pie, so he sneered: "You don't have to coax me, I know it in my heart."

"But that Russell"

"When the plan is completed, if we encounter him, we will kill him."

"Forget it if you can't meet him."

Li Shuo was not a fool. He knew in his heart that based on the movement he might make in the end, if he didn't run fast enough, he might have to face the association's high-level card makers.

The high-level card makers here refer to diamond level and above.

But that Russell.

They are just gold-level ants, and he can destroy them with the flip of a palm when the plan is completed.

Glancing at the middle-aged man next to him, Cliff curled his lips and said, "Just make sure you know what's going on."

Li Shuo did not reply, but after taking a few glances at the monster in the air, he turned around and left the place under the leadership of [Tangun].

When Russell returned home, he took out the [subphone] as usual. He would check whether Jin Ping had issued any orders every day.

[Five: Come here. 】

[Five: Address. 】

When Russell saw the news, he couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect that Gu Wu would contact him.

[Six: I'll be there soon. 】

After a simple reply, Russell frowned and put away the [phone] and rushed towards the address sent by Gu Wu.

After autumn, the sea breeze gradually brings a slight chill to the beach.

In the darkness, a little fire flickered on and off.

"call"

The fire suddenly went out, and a faint voice came: "Why haven't you arrived yet?"

The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the beach.

"Fifth brother."

It's Russell.

After receiving Gu Wu's message, he rushed towards the coordinates sent by the other party without stopping.

Finally, the figure of the man in black suit was discovered on a small island far away from the coastline.

Fortunately, Spider-Man and Fulian could both use space magic to rush on their way, otherwise it would have taken Russell some time to get there.

After hearing Russell's voice, Gu Wu said nothing and just put his hand on his shoulder: "Relax, I will take you to see the adults."

As his words fell, Russell came to a luxurious study room in a trance.

Gu Wu lowered his head and said respectfully: "Sir, I brought Xiaoliu."

Russell also bowed his head and greeted: "President."

At the same time, a hoarse voice sounded in the room: "Long time no see, Xiao Liu."

"You made a lot of noise in Donglai some time ago."

Hearing this, Russell's heart trembled: "I wonder what the president is talking about?"

This is not that Russell is playing dumb. The main reason is that he has been doing a lot of work in Donglai recently, so he didn't know what Jin Ping was referring to for a while.

Jin Ping seemed to be swallowed at this time, and then he said with interest: "Didn't you lead your men to assassinate the president of Donglai before?"

"Well done, keep working hard and strive to reach a high position in the association as soon as possible."

Russell was stunned. He didn't expect that this matter would be heard by Jin Ping, and this master card maker seemed to think that he was doing it to seize power.

"It's all thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to eliminate Sima Huai so easily."

But now that Jin Ping said so, Russell naturally couldn't refute it, and immediately followed his words.

Then, Russell asked aloud: "I don't know why the adults called me here today?"

But when he asked this, Gu Wu on the side cast a death look.

Russell frowned slightly, not knowing where he said the wrong thing.

A perfect version at 16191 book1 bar!

"Mad man."

He cursed in his heart.

Russell suspected that it might be because he asked the question himself.

After a long time, Jin Ping said, "Okay, Xiaowu, Xiaoliu's attitude is normal. After all, he is also a busy man in the association now."

Hearing this, Russell didn't know whether the old man with the hooked nose was helping him out or being sarcastic.

Fortunately, the other party didn't continue the topic: "The main reason I called you here today is that it's almost time for you to meet our partners in the Qiling Association."

"Remember not to use this face, I will also help you cover it up."

Partner?

It was the first time that Russell knew that the Qiling Association also had partners.

You must know that the crazy people in Daming and the Guiyi Sect, which is also an illegal organization, are incompatible.

While thinking so, Russell changed his face to look like Lu Xi.

At this time, Jin Ping stood up and came to Russell's side, patting his shoulder: "Don't worry, it won't take much time, and it will definitely not delay your association's affairs."

"Yes."

What else can Russell say at this time?

Sighing in his heart, he followed Jin Ping out of the room.

As soon as he left the room, he saw a city that was not considered prosperous.

"Where is this?"

Russell stared blankly at the blond and blue-eyed human who passed by him.

Obviously, this is no longer the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Gu Wu whispered beside him: "This is Luosuo."

Where is Luosuo?

Russell didn't think of where this place name was for a while.

But then Gu Wu's words made him suddenly realize: "Those foreigners like to call"

"Tu'ao."

After hearing this name, Russell looked at Gu Wu in shock for the first time: "Fifth brother, can you teleport so far?"

However, unlike what he said, he was actually really shocked that there was a gathering camp of illegal card makers in Tu'ao.

But thinking that this place was originally a place of exile, it seems

Nothing strange?

Gu Wu looked at the young man beside him speechlessly. He really wanted to open his head to see what he was thinking: "The president's room has a teleportation ability. We will be here when we open the door."

"I just took you to the president's room."

While talking, the three of them had already arrived in front of a city within a city.

A castle built of stone.

Jin Ping walked to the front of the castle and knocked on the wooden door slowly.

The next moment, a huge human face suddenly appeared on the door: "Who?"

After seeing the appearance of the old man with a hooked nose in front of the door, the human face was stuck in words for a moment, and then said flatteringly: "Master Jin, the other two masters have been waiting for you for a long time."

Then, the wooden door slowly opened, revealing a wide corridor.

Russell hurriedly followed Jin Ping into the castle.

Gu Wu whispered at this time: "Don't talk later, if there is anything, the adults will handle it."

"Also, it is forbidden to move in this castle except walking, you have to remember this."

Hearing this, Russell nodded slightly to indicate that he already knew.

Soon, the three of them came to a huge metal door inlaid with countless gems.

Jin Ping pushed open the heavy door without changing his expression and walked in first.

Russell and the others followed closely behind.

"You are finally here, Jin Ping."

As soon as he entered the door, Russell was startled by the words that came into his ears.

Which warrior is so brave that he dares to jump directly into the face of Jin Ping, the old madman.

Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a little boy with a delicate face looking at Jin Ping who had just entered the door with a bad smile on his face.

There were also several white men and women around the little boy who were looking at the three coldly.

However, Jin Ping's performance was different from what Russell expected. He just laughed strangely: "Chris, was your mouth blessed by a priest when you were a child? Why is it so smelly?"

The little boy called Chris's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot in an instant, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Old dog Jin"

At this time, Russell looked at Gu Wu beside him with an inquiring look. Gu Wu nodded silently, confirming his guess.

"Do priests in this world also like to bless little boys?" Russell was a little speechless.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, a somewhat helpless voice sounded on the side: "This side can't stand the two of you tossing, just let it go for my face, okay?"

Russell turned around and saw that the person speaking was a brown-skinned woman with a feather crown on her head.

"Now that you said so, Skinner" Chris saw someone handing him the steps, glared at Jin Ping fiercely and stopped talking.

The brown-skinned woman named Skinner continued: "What does President Jin want to do this time? He is in a hurry to summon us."

"Why don't you introduce the new kids to us?"

Jin Ping brought Russell and Gu Wu to a long table and sat on the main seat, minding his own business: "Lu Xi, our newly recruited genius from the Spiritual Society, I will bring him to meet you this time, so I don't have to worry about you." The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple."

Russell also found a nameplate that represented himself at this time.

If you want to ask why he can find it, it's because the energy nameplate floating in mid-air thoughtfully writes a six in Ming language, English, and Indian languages.

He sat down honestly.

At this time, Russell had discovered that Chris and the Skinner had the same aura as Jin Ping.

them

They are all master card makers.

In this situation, he naturally pretended to be an ostrich. Anyway, Gu Wu had just told him not to speak.

As for why there is no obstacle to communication between countries that are obviously not from the same country.

Russell thinks it’s the cards.

He secretly glanced around the presence and found that there were several card makers with unknown auras sitting next to the other two master card makers.

Of course there are a lot of empty seats.

Just like Russell's one, two, three, and four are all empty.

Of course, the most outrageous thing is that there is a long table with no one behind it.

Chris twitched his lips at this time and stared directly at Russell, making him uncontrollably shiver: "Just for this?"

But before Jin Ping could speak, the Skinner looked at Chris helplessly: "Okay."

"President Kim must have other things."

As her words fell, Russell's pressure suddenly decreased.

Jin Ping continued to speak at this time: "There is more."

"Several master-level secret realms have appeared in Antarctica at the same time, and there are even palace-level secret realms nurturing them."

"As far as I know, Bai Yueming and Wei Zheng have been trapped there, and I'm afraid they won't be able to escape in a short time."

"in addition."

"The palace-level secret realm that Ye Zhou suppressed in the Ming Dynasty is probably dying."

The words of the hook-nosed old man instantly plunged the scene into deathly silence.

After a moment, the skinner said thoughtfully: "I asked why I haven't sensed Adli's [Supreme Machine God] recently. It seems that he has also gone to the Antarctic."

Chris frowned and said, "I'm not in any condition."

"etc!"

Then he seemed to realize something and suddenly looked at the only empty table present: "No wonder Marcus didn't come."

"He also went to Antarctica?!"

Russell was at a loss at this time.

He didn't expect to hear his teacher's name here.

But at this time, he also realized that why his teacher didn't reply to his message was not because he was trapped by some secret realm in the Ming Dynasty, but because something happened in Antarctica.

"But does the matter in Antarctica require the teacher to rush over from Daming?"

In addition to wondering where his teacher was, Russell also realized another thing at this time.

That is, the reason why Jin Ping would bring him along is probably because he wanted to beat him.

Maybe Russell's growth rate has exceeded the opponent's expectations, or maybe he just wants to beat him.

In short, his current mood is definitely not good.

At this time, a smile appeared on the skinner's face: "Thank you, President Jin, for the news."

Hearing this, Jin Ping stood up and said, "Since you have no other news, let's take the first step."

But Chris snorted coldly: "Jin Laogou, have you forgotten the rules?"

"The boy hasn't passed the test yet, has he?"

Seeing that Chris not far away seemed to be pointing at himself, Russell looked at Jin Ping beside him with confusion.

After hearing this, Jin Ping glanced at Russell next to him: "I'm just going to take him for a test. Why are you in a hurry?"

"It's good that you haven't forgotten." Hearing what Jin Ping said, Chris stopped talking.

A moment later, Russell stood on a huge battle field with questions on his head. In front of him were three cards under the identity of the Spiritual Society.

And in the distance, a demon was floating.

Looking around at the figures watching the battle on the high platform around him, Russell looked at the appraisal news from Little Spider and couldn't understand why the situation turned out to be like this.
