Chapter 189 - Openly Entering The UndergroundChapter 189: Openly Entering The Underground
As expected, general manager Zhao really led them to the entrance of the restriction. Lin Bai could feel a powerful spiritual power sweeping across everyone’s bodies, like a searchlight.
Other than him, no one else seemed to have noticed anything. Lin Bai lowered his head and restrained his aura.
“You guys can go in.”
The sudden voice gave everyone a fright. Lin Bai had long known that there was someone in the dark, but he still followed the crowd with a confused and frightened expression.
General Manager Zhao bowed respectfully toward the source of the voice. Then, there was a ripple in the air. Transparent water ripples could be seen, like an airtight cover. Then, cracks appeared.
However, it was pitch-black over there. They could not see what was happening clearly. It was as if there was an unknown monster hiding in front of them. It secretly opened its bloody mouth, waiting for an opportunity to devour everyone. For a moment, they all hesitated.
“Let’s go.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith general manager Zhao’s words, everyone walked in one by one. Lin Bai was already familiar with this place. However, he did not know why general manager Zhao brought them here. Previously, outsiders were not allowed to enter this place. He didn’t know why General Manager Zhao suddenly changed his mind.
The underground passage looked similar, but the path general manager Zhao brought them was not the one he had taken before. He didn’t know if it was because general manager Zhao and the others were avoiding the risk, or if the two strange creatures had been suppressed.
In short, this time, their journey was calm and peaceful. There was no danger or attack.
The surrounding environment was very dark. Only the night pearls embedded on the walls were shimmering with a weak light. After walking for an unknown amount of time, general manager Zhao finally stopped.
He pressed the mechanism on the wall. With a cracking sound, a stone door was opened. In everyone’s eyes, it was a brightly lit scene. Dozens of alchemists were busy inside.
The decorations here didn’t look any different from the ones inside the City Lord’s Estate. The only difference was that the alchemists who had left the main hall earlier had been brought here by manager Zhao and the others.
Seeing Lin Bai and the others arrive, they seemed to be used to it. They didn’t even give them an extra look. They just buried their heads in there and worked hard to refine pills.
“From now on, you guys will refine pills here.”
There was a young man in the group. He was probably more courageous. At this moment, he asked in puzzlement, “It’s the same for us to refine pills up there. Why did we suddenly change places?”
General Manager Zhao only glanced at him indifferently, “You guys only need to remember that you are working for the City Lord’s Estate. As long as you cure the City Lord’s illness, you guys will be great contributors. There’s no need to ask so many questions. When the time comes for you guys to know, everything will naturally be understood.”
After saying this, he turned around and left. A few other people came up and arranged work for them. Lin Bai could see that these people’s cultivation levels were not bad, only slightly weaker than the guards outside. They should be the ones maintaining order.
“The few of you stay here. The rest, follow me.”
“Don’t ask too many questions here and don’t look around too much. Just focus on refining pills. In any case, the higher-ups will not mistreat you. Moreover, when you entered the City Lord’s Estate, I believe that they must have given instructions. Moreover, you have also signed a contract that you can not reveal anything in the City Lord’s Estate. I don’t need to repeatedly emphasize this point, right?”
“All in all, just focus on refining pills here. Everything else has to be put to the back of your minds.”
After giving a few instructions, everyone was separated and led away.
Lin Bai was also assigned to his seat and began to refine pills. The herbs here could be said to be very complete. There were all kinds of tools and tools available. He casually picked up a few stalks of herbs.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe casually looked around and noticed that there were people patrolling around from time to time to observe the situation of everyone refining pills. It was many times stricter it was than above. When he saw this, he could not help but frown.
The venue was only so big. Everyone stood in their own positions and it was not easy to mess up. After they finished this round of refinment and needed to rest, there would be the next wave arranged, which was equivalent to a shift system.
Not only did this make the best use of things, but it also increased efficiency. Many people could see it clearly at a glance.
After they finished refining the pills, there would be a team specially organized to send them back one by one and set up a restriction before leaving. If someone left the room midway, the restriction would be activated immediately. It would remind the guards of the abnormal situation here.
It could be said that they were being watched as if they were criminals. The time they spent refining pills was equivalent to the time they spent in the yard. Their freedom of movement was greatly restricted.
The problem Lin Bai was facing now was that although he had openly entered the underground passage under the watchful eyes of the layers of guards, it was stricter below than above. If he wanted to leave from this room and not be discovered by anyone…
Lin Bai frowned as he pondered. For a moment, he felt a little regretful.
At this moment, there was some noise outside. It seemed like someone was arguing.
“We’re not prisoners. Why are we locked up here and not allowed to leave?”
The guard spoke coldly, like a machine without any emotions. “Without the orders of the deputy City Lord or manager Zhao, no one is allowed to leave this place.”
That person probably had a straightforward temper. When he heard these words, he couldn’t help but say,
“When we first entered the City Lord’s Estate, we were told that we were treating the City Lord’s illness. We also signed a contract to prevent anyone from harming the City Lord. We worked day and night to refine pills, yet we still came to this damned place. Now, this is even more outrageous. You’re not letting us out.. Aren’t you treating us as criminals?”
