Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

However, Luo Xiu didn't care too much. Anyway, his real goal was to make money at the casino. Going to the River of Sorcerers was a matter for later. He would just have to wait and see.

The woman sighed:

"Pity……"

"What's a pity?"

Luo Xiu frowned, sensing that something was wrong, but the woman didn't say anything more and instead arranged for the two of them to rest.

"There are eight goods in total tonight. My shop is responsible for four, two men and two women. You two are the men. As long as you don't cause trouble on the road, no one will be able to tell who you are."

The woman left after she finished speaking.

Luo Xiu and Xiu Pu were left in the lounge.

Hup looked at Luo Xiu and tentatively began to speak:

"Brother, that woman just said our mission is to go to the River of Warlocks, is that true?"

After following Luo Xiu to Rum Street, he had never asked Luo Xiu what he was going to do in the inner city.

"of course not."

Luo Xiu spoke the truth.

Hearing this, Schup was relieved and patted his chest:

"That place isn't a good place. I knew it. We just need to find the person you're looking for, and then I'll take advantage of having you here to play a couple of hands at the card table..."

Heap spoke up and revealed his true purpose.

He regarded Luo Xiu as his benefactor and fantasized about dominating the card table while Luo Xiu was by his side.

Rossi seemed not to hear what Hup said. He looked in the direction the woman had left, his brows furrowed slightly.

He felt that something was off about the woman, including her emotional changes just now.

But the woman was indeed arranged by his teacher...

I hope everything's alright. Luo Xiu sighed inwardly.

……

The woman opened the door to another room and went inside. It was a simple living room with two chairs and a table—that was all there was to the room.

The woman looked at Tata, who was sitting in a chair shrouded in black mist, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"Senior brother, you seem to treasure this student very much. You stayed here the whole time. Are you afraid that I will really sell him off like a freeloader?"

Tata was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"I trust Luo Xiu very much. I came here to see you, after all, it's been a long time since we last met."

Before she could finish speaking, the woman could no longer contain herself and burst into laughter, abandoning her mysterious and elegant demeanor to laugh without any restraint, rolling around on the floor in her nightgown:

"I'm dying of laughter. Senior brother, your student was actually dragged onto the stage and walked around like a white duck by me."

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers, laughing uncontrollably.

Tata fell into a deeper silence, and only after several dozen seconds did he, who was not good at verbal arguments, finally think of a point to strike back at the woman:

"So why did you draw the teacher's face on Luo Xiu's face?"

"..."

The reception room fell silent for a moment.

The woman's laughter stopped abruptly, but the smile remained on her face, only now it had returned to its usual ambiguous quality, flickering in the light as she looked at Tata.

"Senior, don't you think he looks a lot like our teacher?"

"Not at all."

Tata wasn't saying this out of spite.

Anyone could see that Luo Xiu's face was completely different from the face he was now painting; they didn't resemble each other at all.

The woman smiled, her eyes reflecting a moonlit glow, a depth born of years and time. She was far from as young as she appeared, in fact, much, much older than Tata before her.

I wasn't talking about faces.

Seeing that Tata didn't reply, the woman didn't mind and continued speaking:

"To be honest, when he smiled at me just now, I really thought the teacher had come back."

"The teachers back then were just as tall and had just as many smiles."

Tata remained silent.

He still felt that Luo Xiu and his teacher had nothing in common, from appearance to personality and way of handling things; they were completely different types.

But he couldn't refute the woman in front of him. Although they were both students of the same teacher, their perspectives and experiences were different, so their feelings were naturally different as well.

"Senior brother..."

The woman tilted her head, looking at Tata, as if enveloped in a deep sadness in an instant, even though she was still smiling:

Do you think our teacher might be watching over us from heaven?

Chapter 161 Unexpected Handover (Later)

Luo Xiu never expected that the people from the Gold Casino would come to collect the "goods" in such a brutal way.

With a rumbling sound of wheels rolling, two huge iron cages were pushed in front of him and Schup.

The iron cage was covered with a black cloth curtain to prevent people from seeing what was inside.

"Please come in."

Someone reached out; it was a staff member from Rum Street. After Rosh and Shoes entered the cage, they would need to coordinate with the people at the Gold Rush Casino.

Finally, the people from the Gold Casino took the goods to the inner city.

Luo Xiu and the other man exchanged a glance, looked at the dark cage in front of them, and obediently crawled inside.

Once inside, the iron cage door was locked.

Luo Xiu looked around with some curiosity. This was his first time in such an environment. It was dark and gloomy, and the bars of the iron cage were cold. If someone with a weak constitution stayed here for a while, they would probably catch a cold and get sick.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Hup's voice came from next door.

Before Luo Xiu could answer, a loud bang was heard, and the iron cage shook violently.

"Please be quiet."

The deliveryman kicked Shoe's cage. Surprisingly, he was quite polite.

Heap fell silent, and the surroundings became quiet.

After a while, Luo Xiu felt the cage he was in shaking. Someone must have lifted the cage and was moving it in a swaying motion towards a certain place.

Luo Xiu waited patiently, and as time passed, the cage's forward speed finally slowed down.

"Almost there."

Luo Xiu thought to himself that it wasn't just because of the speed of the cage, but also because he smelled a familiar scent.

It had a faint, fishy stench with a hint of nauseating, musty smell, almost imperceptible to the average person, but Luo Xiu was all too familiar with this smell.

That was the aura of a demon.

"Here is today's goods. Please inspect them, sir."

A staff member from Rum Street spoke up, his tone respectful, even humble, with a slight tremor in his voice.

Luo Xiu remained calm. He already knew from the woman that there would be a checkpoint. The woman had said that there wouldn't be any problems with this checkpoint, and that her disguise would definitely allow them to enter the inner city.

Sure enough, the black curtain on Luo Xiu's cage was slightly lifted at one corner and then quickly closed again.

A sharp, hoarse voice rang out:

"Check done, great, no problems, hehe—"

That bizarre and mocking tone immediately awakened Luo Xiu's memories.

Sure enough... the voice was very similar to that of the man in the golden clothes I had seen before. Although it wasn't the same person, the feeling was exactly the same.

Luo Xiu did not make any rash moves and continued to wait quietly in the cage.

The fish in front of him was just a small fish, far from the plump, large fish he was after. Patience was for a better catch.

His only goal in entering the inner city this time was to approach the fifth rank.

"You guys can go now, hee hee—"

Upon hearing this, the staff on Rum Street all respectfully took their leave.

Just when Luo Xiu thought the handover was over.

The sound of "plop plop plop" came, the curtain of the iron cage was stained dark red, and liquid dripped from Luo Xiu's head, landing on the tip of his nose, and the smell of blood spread.

Luo Xiu reached out and touched the wet tip of his nose. Looking at the red stain on his finger, his eyes darkened.

"All done. Next time, have them send another batch, hehe—"

A sound rang out, but this time it was different from the previous one; it was deeper and more resonant.

"Let's wrap this up, then we're off, hee hee—"

A sharp, hoarse voice fell.

A hallucinogenic scent wafted towards him. Luo Xiu inhaled it slightly and determined that it was a method that could cause someone to lose consciousness, but it was harmless to him and could be ignored.

Then, a rustling sound continued outside the cage for several seconds. Luo Xiu's expression remained unchanged, knowing that it was the sound of the monster eating.

Judging from the subtle differences in the sounds of them eating, there should only be two mushroom monsters outside the cage.

A sharp, hoarse voice, and a deep, resonant voice.

There was no sound or screaming coming from the other cages, so they must have been knocked unconscious by that method.

It's estimated that there are at least four levels among the mushroom monsters that came this time. Even Shup would have a hard time escaping, let alone the remaining ordinary men and women.

Luo Xiu's eyes flickered, his muscular figure shrouded in darkness, waiting to reach his destination.
