Chapter 290 Key (Last Three Days for Monthly Pass)
Franka ended the "magic mirror divination", looked at Jianna, and began to interpret the answer just now:
"That sentence is normally dangerous, but it is within the range we can bear, so there should be no problem if you are careful."
Jian Na said with a slight surprise:
"I thought the divination results would be very clear."
Who knows, just one sentence has to correspond to such a long list of interpretations.
"This is very clear!" Franka smiled and emphasized, "If you go to the divination club in the memorial parish and find those amateur players, they will be more vague, so that they can make interpretations that are beneficial to them after the results.
Jane nodded calmly.
It costs a lot of money to do a divination!
Franka's eyes turned slightly, as if she was thinking:
"You can subscribe to one of the magazines "Psychic", "Lotus", "Upanishads", and "The Hidden Veil", although they all have a lot of problems and mistakes in specific applications, but a lot of basic knowledge about the occult is still quite good.
"Ah yes, Ciel often buys these magazines, you can go, uh, I'll borrow it for you!"
"Okay." Jane had only heard of those occult magazines before and had never bought them.
After obtaining a fairly good divination result, the two of them, who had inspected the route and environment during the day, quickly arrived at the entrance of the deep valley quarry under the cover of night.
The janitor in his forties huddled in a "hut" naturally formed by rocks, with his back against the mountain wall, covered with dirty, old, and thin felt cloth, tilting his head and sleeping soundly.
A slender and smooth palm suddenly stretched out from the dark shadow on his side, covering his mouth with a white handkerchief.
The janitor didn't struggle, and in just a few seconds, he went from a deep sleep to a coma.
Franka, wearing a black hood, walked out of the shadows and sighed:
"The drug effect of 'Bliss Society' is really good, which saves me a lot of trouble."
For this operation, she specifically asked Lumian to borrow the bottle of drug from Rentas.
"Isn't it okay to knock them unconscious directly?" Jane said she couldn't understand.
"It's not impossible." Franka explained casually, "But that will leave traces, and you can't disguise him well as if he is still asleep, and this mission has a lot of bounty hunters and private detectives involved, we should not be the only ones eyeing this quarry, if there is a better way, it is better to be careful when dealing with details than to leave hidden dangers."
Jianna, who has lived in the botanical garden and market area for many years, probably understood what Franca meant, and asked while thinking carefully:
"Are you worried that in the dead of night now, those bounty hunters and private detectives will have bad thoughts when they find out that we have entered the quarry first?"
Franka nodded in satisfaction:
"Yes, many bounty hunters and private investigators seamlessly switch jobs as robbers, robbers, and murderers depending on the time, environment, and surrounding circumstances.
"They all take risks to make money rather than uphold justice, since there are no clues in this mission for the time being, and the current environment is suitable, it is very in line with their style to grab their peers and kill them to silence them, anyway, there is no one else here.
"Of course, with our strength, we don't need to be afraid of the bounty hunters and private investigators, but what if we make a similar mistake in something else or on a more dangerous occasion? So, from the beginning, you must develop a habit."
What Franca didn't say was that as a woman, there was a high probability that she would suffer more.
Jane Na nodded slowly, agreeing with the reason.
She has seen criminals kill an old man living alone for 5 Felkin.
Franka immediately smiled and teased:
"Do you want me to knock him out directly, do you want to take revenge on him for asking you if you want to take on business in the morning?"
"Oh! Am I such a stingy person?" Jian Na couldn't help but burst into foul language.
Whether it was the years when I was helping my mother with chores, or during the time when I was a local singer in the market area, I was asked so many times that she was numb and angry, but not much.
In order to prove her heart, Jian Na exhaled and said:
"Using that kind of drug against others will remind me of what happened to me."
She was also stunned and almost became a missing victim, but fortunately met Lumian.
Franka said "hmm":
"I can understand your feelings, but since you have embarked on the path of God and intend to become stronger, you must use various means to deal with the enemy after that, and you cannot give up better choices just because you are a little repulsed."
Jane knew that Franka had a point, but she couldn't help but ask:
"Can't an extraordinary person live an ordinary and quiet life without getting involved in all kinds of disputes and battles while protecting his family and friends?"
"It may have been possible before, but it is difficult now, and the more it goes on, the more difficult it is, until nothing is possible." Franka sighed and said.
Jian Na was silent for a moment and said:
"In the future, in the future, in the future, can it be realized?"
Franka glanced at the "sleeping" janitor and said:
"The big man told me that a similar life has to wait until the end of the Fifth Age, the beginning of the Sixth Age, if there is still a Sixth Age."
Sixth Age...... Jian Na thought about this phrase in a daze for a few seconds, and suddenly laughed at herself:
"Actually, I also know that that kind of life is just a delusion, impossible to achieve, at least for me. With extraordinary abilities, after completing another assassination, encountering unfair things, and seeing my family and friends become unhappy, I will definitely want to use my extraordinary abilities to do something to solve those problems that the law and the police can't solve."
"That's right." Franka nodded slightly.
She can digest the magic potion of "assassins" and "instigators", not by dressing up like this, nor by helping her friends in a way that instigates.
The two didn't talk any further, and Franka bent down and picked up the brass-colored key from the janitor.
"Just look at a door, why are there so many keys? from his family?" Franka muttered as she left the cabin, walked to the door of the Deep Valley Quarry, and tried the keys one by one.
At the end, she said to herself in surprise and suspicion:
"It's not right......"
"None of them are right?" Jane didn't expect such a possibility at all.
There is no key to open the entrance to the deep valley quarry, so what door to look at?
Franka was half teaching and half thinking:
"Maybe this string of keys is a cover, the real key is hidden somewhere else."
She then said to Jianna:
"You search the surroundings, and I'll take a look at the janitor."
Jane had no objection, relying on her "dark vision", starting from the "hut" and gradually searching the nearby grass and rock crevices.
Franka squatted next to the janitor again and groped the other person's body from top to bottom.
When she reached her crotch, she curled her fingers, flicked hard, and whispered with a sneer:
"Jianna is not stingy, I am stingy!"
After the search, the two met at the heavy wooden door and shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they had gained nothing.
Franka "tsk" and said:
"There is indeed a problem with this quarry.
"That guy is really a janitor, he is only responsible for guarding the door and has no ability to open the door!"
"Do you want to go in again?" Jane asked hesitantly.
"I'll try again." Franka stretched out her right hand to the copper lock embedded in the heavy wooden door.
Dense white frost came out of her palm and poured into the keyhole, filling it up.
The white frost accumulates and overlaps, eventually turning into solid ice.
Franka used his ability to pull out the ice cube and got a transparent key.
Can it still be like this? Jian Na was surprised and yearning.
Sensing her gaze, Franka said with a slight smugness:
"I have a friend, I really have a friend who is very good at lockpicking, and we discussed how to use the 'witch' ability to unlock locks."
After making the ice cube firmer, Franka reinserted it into the keyhole and twisted it gently.
In the sound of clicking, the heavy wooden door opened.
Franca took back the ice key and let it melt, erasing all traces.
Before entering the Deep Valley Quarry, the "witch" hung the brass key back on the janitor's waist, adjusting his posture to make him look more like he was asleep.
After doing all this, Franka took out a money bag full of coins and took out a thick iron-colored ring covered with tiny spikes from it.
"This is the 'Ring of Punishment' I mentioned before, and you wear it today.
"I have already talked about how to use it and what are the taboos, and there is only one thing you need to remember: you can't use it more than three times in an hour.
"Also, take it off immediately after the operation is over and put it back in this coin bag."
"Okay." Jane stretched out her left hand and let Franka put the iron ring on her middle finger in skin-to-skin contact.
Franka was inexplicably happy, pulled up her hood, pushed open the wooden door, and walked into the deep valley quarry.
After Jian Na followed in, she closed the wooden door with her backhand and kept it locked.
In this way, it is almost impossible to find out from the outside world that someone has entered this quarry.
Franka and Jana are both "assassins" with dark vision, although they did not have a calcium carbide lamp, but they still easily saw the scene behind the door clearly:
This is a very dilapidated tunnel, surrounded by a lot of moss, and there are crisscrossed cracks in the stone wall above, which seems to fall off at any time.
Shortly ahead along the tunnel, there was a hollow, which was indistinguishable from those underground.
Jenna and Franka searched seriously for nearly two quarters of an hour, turning around all the small uncollapsed areas, and found no suspicious details.
"I think there is a big problem here now." After returning to the location near the tunnel, Franka whispered.
The more abnormal it is, the more strange it is that the gatekeeper does not have the key to open the door.
Jane thought and said:
"Maybe it's just that I'm afraid that someone will break into here and the mine will collapse, so I just take the key.
"The janitor's duty is only to intercept, not open the door."
Franka was about to say something when she suddenly heard a clicking sound.
It was the sound of the gate of the deep valley quarry being opened!
After Franka and Jana looked at each other, they immediately hid in a hidden place not far from the tunnel exit.
The quarry gate slowly opened, and a light dyed with a bit of blue calcium carbide shone in, dispelling the darkness in the tunnel.
Franka and Jane secretly looked over and saw a man in a gray robe.
The man had a white apron around his waist, which ancient stonemasons often wore, and a hood hanging behind his neck, not wearing it.
This is the standard dress of ascetics or monks in the "God of Steam and Machinery" church.
The monk was carrying a light-emitting calcium carbide lamp, short black hair, and a large number of iron-gray gears, screws, and springs inlaid around his left eye, which together supported an emerald crystal prosthetic eye.
