Chapter 679 Dividing the Forces

“That neighbor of Zhen Hu, I can't really describe him clearly for the time being…” Speaking of what she saw, Lu Xiaoyao felt that she could talk all night about it. So, she spoke the truth, and as a result, Mu Chen gave her the opportunity to talk all night.

“Anyway, the underground city is never bright. You can treat any time as night and go to sleep.”

Lu Xiaoyao: “…”

Just right, her brother didn't object either. Lu Gui also wanted to know what kind of interpersonal relationships could make his sister spit out a "rainbow."

This time, they didn't return to Mingmei and Mu Chen's tree house. They went directly to the small room where Lu Xiaoyao and the others were temporarily staying. Dong Lei and Sun Yunzhong had also returned from scouting news outside. For a time, the small room was full of people.

Mingmei sat down and curiously looked up at the wooden planks above where the three of them rested.

Seeing that there was a circle of low railings next to it, Mingmei could vaguely see from her sitting angle a corner of a quilt that someone hadn't folded in the morning drooping above her head through the railings.

Mu Chen also glanced at it, but didn't say anything.

Seeing the actions of the two, Lu Gui also curiously looked up, and in an instant, his face turned dark.

He didn't even need to guess. Based on Lu Xiaoyao's usual habit of not folding her quilt at home, how could he not know whose quilt this was?

The person involved, Lu Xiaoyao, was completely unaware that her unfolded quilt had attracted the attention of others. She had already begun to share everything she had seen today.

“That guy named Allen, really, he probably knows everyone on that street, right?”

When Lu Xiaoyao thought of the scene she saw, the faces that were revealed and the names that Allen called out, Lu Xiaoyao herself couldn't say that she could match the people Allen remembered after seeing it once, but Allen could.

In that scene, faces appeared one after another, the sounds of greetings, too many faces flashed by in a short period of time, all kinds of angles and expressions were endless!

That's why Lu Xiaoyao said she was dizzy in 3D.

“You even heard him talking?”

It wasn't surprising that Mingmei asked this. Who told her that in O'Lai's memory, others were always talking, and she never heard O'Lai himself call anyone.

Hearing Lu Xiaoyao's description, Mingmei even suspected that she hadn't eaten her boxed lunch, resulting in incomplete efficacy.

“Isn't that so?” Lu Xiaoyao was also surprised by Mingmei's question. “If he didn't talk to the people he saw, how would anyone know who those people were?”

Mingmei: “…”

So that's what she meant.

Mingmei couldn't figure out whether there was something wrong with O'Lai, this NPC, or whether the NPC Lu Xiaoyao saw was too奇葩(qí pā) (odd, strange).

“I have a headache looking at Allen's network of relationships. He seems to know a little bit about everyone, but he doesn't seem to be very familiar with anyone. There are so many people that I can't see who is more strange at all.”

“What?” It was Lu Gui's turn to be surprised. “You didn't see anyone whose interactions with him were abnormal?”

Seeing Lu Xiaoyao nodding, Lu Gui almost couldn't catch his breath: “If you say you can't see it, then let's switch. You talk to him, and I'll watch!”

“It's not like I can't see it all the time, it's just this time, okay?” Lu Xiaoyao could hear Lu Gui's dislike, and pouted, “Maybe if it were you, you wouldn't be able to see it either~”

“Alright, alright, looking at the other party's interpersonal relationships alone, it is indeed more complicated when there are many people. If you want to analyze someone abnormal from so many similar chats, there's not enough time, and there's really no way to know.”

Sun Yunzhong hurriedly came out to help mediate. Mingmei thought for a while and then told what happened to her tonight.

On the one hand, she met Hu Yue;

On the other hand, she also saw the boxer's interpersonal relationships through the boxed lunch.

Obviously, after listening to Lu Xiaoyao's and then hearing Mingmei's, who wouldn't be confused?

“That guy isn't mute, is he?” Lu Xiaoyao said boldly.

“No.” This time Mu Chen retorted Lu Xiaoyao in one breath, “I saw him talking to people backstage.”

“Then his interpersonal relationship is too…what, right?” Dong Lei and Lu Xiaoyao were indeed very similar in some respects. She felt the same way about the things Lu Xiaoyao thought were bad. “This kind of feeling of only remembering one person in a lifetime is so weird.”

“That's right, I can understand forgetting someone in a lifetime, but only remembering one person… it's not like you're in a remote mountain forest with only two people, either you or me.”

“Forgetting someone in a lifetime is also unreasonable…” Mingmei retorted, feeling stabbed by Lu Xiaoyao, and then glanced guiltily at Mu Chen beside her.

“This isn't the time to talk about how many people you remember, right?” Seeing that the topic seemed to be going astray, Lu Gui couldn't help but remind everyone to focus, “Shouldn't the woman in that guy's memory be more worthy of attention?”

“That's what I'm saying, but without a name and an unclear appearance, it's not easy to investigate.” Mu Chen naturally knew that the character Mingmei mentioned was important, but he also knew that this character couldn't be investigated by visiting everywhere like Zhen Po.

“Given O'Lai's current status, the person he has been pursuing and following must also be extraordinary.” Mingmei remembered that she heard in the crowd that O'Lai had been recruited by the city lord of the underground city. O'Lai's current status is hard to say.

“By the way!” Mentioning the city lord of the underground city, Sun Yunzhong remembered the news he and Dong Lei had inquired about today, “It seems that there is more than one city lord in this underground city!”

“Eh—?”

It seemed that only Mingmei and Lu Xiaoyao didn't know about this.

After all, after Sun Yunzhong finished speaking, Mu Chen and Lu Gui's expressions were very intriguing.

“You guys don't know about this?”

Mu Chen looked at Mingmei when he spoke. Mingmei tilted her head and blinked at Mu Chen.

She really didn't know.

“Is it written in any of the city rules?”

Probably because she had been disliked by her brother, Lu Xiaoyao subconsciously thought that they had not understood the rules of the underground city again.

“It's not written in the rules of the underground city. People who have lived here for a long time should have heard about it. I also heard it from other people chatting.

There is no city lord in the underground city. There are just several very powerful characters who manage all aspects of the underground city.”

Sun Yunzhong couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, “I was wondering, how did that octopus-like hybrid manage to suppress everyone? Is it just by force?”

“Are you talking about the half-octopus, half-human guy who often appears in the black market? His martial strength is very high, but his mental strength is very weak.” Mu Chen added, “I thought you could see from this that he doesn't manage this underground city alone.”

Everyone: =.=

They really didn't.

“Then the next goal—” Mu Chen tapped the table lightly with his finger and glanced at everyone before saying, “In addition to continuing with Zhen Hu's side, on the other hand, it's still the same old saying, contact the people at the top of the underground city as soon as possible. Delay will only lead to complications. I always feel that something will happen if we drag on like this…”
