The unease in the hearts of everyone grew deeper and deeper as time passed. However, when they arrived at the Mushroom Forest, another unexpected situation caused Apostle to be stunned again.

Amongst all Apostle’s soul imprints, the predecessor mission of the epic plot–exploring the Silver Hall mine tunnel–had actually been accomplished!

This meant that Jillim and Lorraine, one of them, had safely reached the surface camp. Jillim was naturally impossible, so only if Lorraine managed to reach the cave camp on the surface alive would this prompt appear.

“Did Qin Lun bring Lorraine back? He even avoided Zhuo Er Elves’s pursuit?” Wei Si stared at Hill with a sharp gaze. The prompt from the soul imprint made him less suspicious of Hill and Rand.

If Qin Lun really brought Lorraine back to the camp, and in order to avoid Zhuo Er Elves, he was not on the same path as the monkey, then there would be no suspicion of collaborating with Qin Lun’s team. Even so, he couldn’t let go of the monkey being used as bait and thrown at Zhuo Er Elves.

“If I told you that Qin Lun didn’t tell me what he would do, you wouldn’t believe me!” Hill looked calmly at Wei Si.

“You are not a temporary group. This explanation is untrustworthy.” ‘”But if he wanted to avoid Wei Si Zhuo Er, he could have had a better choice. The risk of returning with Lorraine alone was also very high, which obviously didn’t make sense!” Elves’s expression softened slightly and he said with a strong sense of doubt.

Hill smiled bitterly in his heart. If Qin Lun was still the same as before, then it naturally wouldn’t make sense. However, he couldn’t tell Wei Si that Qin Lun was different from before.

Moreover, judging from Qin Lun’s actions, Hill had already slowly gained insight into the entire meridian. Hill and Rand roughly knew what Qin Lun wanted to do. Perhaps that fellow had taken into account the reactions of all of them at the beginning of the plan.

“Hill, are you sure Qin Lun will do this?” After Wei Si left, Rand looked strangely at the shepherd.

“This is the most reliable explanation. After Qin Lun’s personality changed, he made this plan.” Hill said thoughtfully, “He found the Mithril Hall mine in front of us, but he did not enter the cave to investigate. He directly went back, found Lorraine, and tricked him away.”

In this way, when Lorraine returns to the surface, our mission will be complete. He stayed behind and somehow contacted Zhuo Er Elves to slaughter all the remaining Minotaur and Dwarf camps.

“Why did he do this?” Rand asked uncomfortably. Fireworks had already vaguely guessed Qin Lun’s plan in her heart, but she was still unwilling to believe it.

“It’s not obvious. The new Qin Lun has already moved his target from the mission itself to the Wei Si team.” Hill sighed and said, “Don’t forget, we have another mission on us, ‘O’ Barran’s Dawn. ‘This is a competitive mission, and a fight between Apostle’s teams will create a bloody Magic Cube.”

Hill’s eyes were filled with a hint of confusion. “I was just guessing, but after Lorraine safely reached the surface, I was certain that after Dwarves’s exploration mission was completed, we were no longer a joint team. We were fully capable of fighting as a competitive team.”

“But we still have restrictions on the cooperation contract!” Rand sighed halfway through his words, “This isn’t a problem. Qin Lun can have the Zhuo Er Elves act on his behalf and collect the Bloody Magic Cube himself.”

If a competing Apostle guild was killed by the storyline characters of the other guild, they would also have a certain chance of dropping the Bloody Magic Cube. In competitive missions, the chances of dropping are pretty good.

In particular, [Obalaner’s Dawn] was a phased mission that required Apostle to go deeper into the darkness and continue to pick up the Dark Elves who were eager to return to the surface world. The deaths of Rivan and Cothena did not make this mission completely disappear from the mission list.

“That’s right. That Thief Monkey from the Wei Si team is probably Qin Lun’s experimental subject. Since he’s already dead, then it proves that Qin Lun’s plan is feasible.” Hill said with a serious expression, “The only thing we’re not sure about is how Qin Lun will treat the two of us.”

‘”Hill, I still don’t understand one thing. Even if Qin Lun is eyeing the Wei Si team, when he contacted the Zhuo Er elves, he didn’t know that Gilliam, Eastings, and the others would stay in the mine to look for him …” Rand asked with a frown. “Why does he think the Zhuo Er elves have the ability to destroy the entire exploration team?”

Hill was silent for a moment before he said, “This is the horror of Qin Lun. He once taught himself psychology and had an incomparably thorough grasp of the human heart. How could he not know Easten’s feelings for him? He knew that Easten would definitely stay and look for him, and Easten would stay and Idrea would not leave.”

Masta Xia had followed the Dark Region for him, so she naturally stayed behind. As for the dwarves … do you think Jillim’s personality would allow his friends who helped Dwarves to stay in the mine alone?

Even if Old Dwarf didn’t stay, he would still give some of his men to Elistine. In this way, a portion of the exploration team would be split up near the labyrinth fortress, and a portion of them would be left behind in the Silver Hall mine. After two consecutive exploration teams, the chances of the Zhuo Er Elves winning will be at least eighty to ninety percent. It’s enough to fight. ”

“Then what should we do? Tell Weiss and the others everything?” Rand sighed knowingly.

“Will Wei Si believe us? If we confess to all of this, will Wei Si and the others believe that for the time being, the greatest possibility is to put us under house arrest as a bargaining chip to threaten Qin Lun?” Hill smiled bitterly. “Qin Lun understands our personalities. He knows that even if we guessed his plan, we wouldn’t reveal it. Otherwise, it would be an obvious loophole.”

“You forgot to say that he was testing us!” ‘”He hasn’t left the three-man team yet. He’s obviously counting on us to help him plot against Weiss. If we don’t help him, it means that we don’t treat Kieran as a companion anymore. He probably won’t hesitate to have the Zhuo Er Elves kill us together.” Rand said angrily.

“You actually thought of this!” Hill raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“Even if I’m not as smart as you two, I’m not an idiot.” Rand glared at the shepherd bluntly. “Weiss and I have met by chance, and we have nothing to do with each other. He knew this, but he didn’t tell us about the plan in advance. He was naturally trying to test the two of us.”

“This is only a matter of course for us. Perhaps he didn’t mean to let us off at all!” Hill raised his head and smiled bitterly. “The Qin Lun of the past has already disappeared. The moment he woke up, he came up with such a plan. It’s really hard for me to evaluate him.”

“Then tell me, what are we going to do next?” Rand said bitterly.

“Before I say anything, tell me, before Qin Lun disappears, you asked us for help. Should we help or not?” Hill revealed a smile that made Rand want to beat him up.

“Qin Lun only said that after he returns, he would help him recall his memories. It has nothing to do with this Qin Lun, right?” Rand was stunned for a moment.

“Of course it’s related. If we want to find a way to get Qin Lun back as soon as possible, we have to have more contact with this one.” Hill spread out his hands and said, “If there was a way to help Qin Lun solve this personality problem, he would still owe us a big favor.”

“This … even Qin Lun himself can’t do anything, what can we do?” Rand asked, dumbfounded.

‘”That’s not necessarily the case. You have to know that when Qin Lun was in this situation, he didn’t even have any memories and had nowhere to go. If someone recorded everything about Qin Lun now, there might be a way!”

Hill shrugged his shoulders and said mockingly, “However, according to the current situation, this Qin Lun is very dangerous. His companion is like a tiger accompanying a tiger. Perhaps he will trap us, depending on whether you are willing to do it or not!”

“Since the five of us are going to form a team in the future, we naturally cannot leave our companions behind when they are in trouble. At the very least … we have to give them a try!” Rand pondered for a moment before finally looking up and replying.

‘”That’s simple. If we don’t want to interfere in this matter, we can completely leave the team now. After all, the exploration mission has been completed, we only need to hide in the dark region for a few days. Once the time spent is exhausted, we will be able to return to the shattered starry sky.”

Hill said slowly, “If we want to get in touch with and understand this Qin Lun, then we can only continue to play with him … extinguish the source of the fire before starting the fire!”

“I’m the best at extinguishing fires!” Rand looked at the shepherd with a calm expression and couldn’t help but grin.

…

Entering the mushroom forest filled with pink mist again, Weiss’s eyelids began to beat rapidly, and the uneasiness in his heart had reached its peak. The last time he was here, they had exterminated a Ratman Tribe, but this time he came to the Mushroom Forest, he had another sense of danger.

“Stop!” Looking at Dwarves, who was exploring the road ahead, Weiss raised his hand to stop his companions.

“Guild Leader, what’s wrong?” The shield guard turned around and looked at Wei Si doubtfully.

After arriving at the Mushroom Forest, all Apostle and Dwarves felt relieved. There was less than half a day’s journey from the campsite on the surface.

“Nothing, let’s continue!” Wei Si glanced at the dwarves who were gradually moving away from Apostle and shook his head hesitantly, as if he wanted to shake off that inexplicable feeling. The team was already very close to the surface, so he really didn’t want to create any complications.

Wei Si’s actions were seen hundreds of meters away by a person hiding behind the mushroom forest. “He” disdainfully pulled the corners of his mouth. A person with a steady personality would often arrange a preparatory plan even if the plan did not succeed. This kind of person was very difficult to calculate.

However, the variables weren’t enough to disrupt the plan, and when they were close to success, they would be in a dilemma.

The strengths and weaknesses of Wei Si were particularly evident during the Silvermoon Celebration. It was precisely because of his steadiness that the Wei Si team was not trapped in Supreme palace, but also because of his steadiness, the plan developed with inertia, leading to the final failure of the Santalin Society.

This time, his calculations were not only rigorous, but also more concealed, completely aimed at Wei Si’s psychological blind spots. Sure enough, the other party’s stability allowed the plan to follow its usual course. He didn’t even notice that as long as he simply hid, he would be able to avoid the danger of annihilation.

It was only half a day’s journey from the surface of the earth, could it be safe? On the contrary, when Wei Si and the others relaxed the most, it was also the most dangerous time for them!
