Ember Gun

  Chapter 33 Underground Undercurrent

The galloping bullet passed a long distance, across the dark corridor, and ran through the body of the demon with a death knell-like roar, but this is not just the end, the rotating bullet is coated with Lorenzo’s blood, that It was like fierce kerosene that detonated in the monster's body.

  A blazing fire burst out of the twisted body, seeming to have its own will. The pure white fireworks tore the demon's body, scorching and carbonizing the stinking flesh and blood, and the faint flame ignited all the blood intensified.

  At the dark end, Lorenzo seemed to be whispering something. He raised the shotgun, and every time the trigger was pulled, there was a dazzling fire.

   "The secret blood awakens 3%, in the stable value range, the mental judgment is normal, and the silver-binding suppository is still intact..."

  There was a glimmer in his eyes, Lorenzo whispered inexplicable words, and while shooting at the monster, he walked quickly.

  Like a grand firework, the demon made a stern sound under the pure white package. It was probably an unquenchable holy flame, vowing to burn all the evil.

   "Eve! Stay away!"

Lorenzo yelled, Eve exhausted all his strength and finally moved away a little bit. Then the monster violently slammed the surrounding walls towards Lorenzo, which was different from the space where Eve was located. With the straight passage, the running monster and Lorenzo are bound to collide, but Lorenzo doesn't care at all.

The hideous figure came with white fireworks, and fought against the dark figure for an instant, only to see a white light flashing, and at the last moment of the impact, Lorenzo passed under the monster with a sliding shovel, and at the same time Holding the sword high, the blood-stained blade was like a torch like a blazing sun, completely cutting away the soft abdomen, and then endless white flames poured out of it and completely swallowed the demon.

Lorenzo slowly got up. He hadn't fought with the demon for many years. He suddenly felt that he was much older, and he did not look back at the wailing demon. The burning figure lost its mobility, and it could only vomit blood. He fell feebly until he was completely burnt to ashes by the white flames.

   "Can you still go?"

Seeing the scarred girl Lorenzo was a little surprised. He thought Eve would die at the hands of a monster. After all, this was the most normal ending for most people who had contact with a monster for the first time. But obviously Eve had some It's different. In the end, the girl was not destroyed by the terrifying pressure, but instead inspired the courage to wield the sword.

   "I may have a fracture..."

   Eve endured the pain and tears, and got up with difficulty. There was no way out before, so death was not terrible, but now Eve has survived, but she feels the coldness of her heart.

  This feeling of survival in a catastrophe is really complicated.

   "What exactly is that?"

  Lorenzo helped Eve and both of them walked into the deeper darkness together. Although Eve did not say clearly, Lorenzo knew exactly what she was asking.

"The taboo technology of the old age... you have also seen that those demons run faster than leopards and have greater power than bears. Some of them have the same intelligence as humans, not to mention that they are extremely difficult to kill. The nature of the spirit, and the magical nature that destroys the spirit."

  Sometimes Lorenzo also finds it ridiculous. In contrast, the monster is the most perfect creature. Talking casually, he leaned on his cane and sword to watch the darkness around him.

  "In the past, fighting against demons was completely dependent on human life. It was a cruel era. In order to survive the night, mankind paid an unimaginable price, and this technology is the product of the price."

  In order to win, the order does nothing better than demons, but as Lorenzo’s mentor said at the time, some evil deeds are necessary, and only the current cruelty can exchange for the survival of another group of people.

  Although it sounds like a crooked reason, Lorenzo agrees that even if he doesn't miss Fei Lengcui much, sometimes he still thinks of that neurotic mentor.

Both of them have lost too much blood, but Lorenzo can still be stronger. As a person from the cult, the training he has experienced has already made him different from ordinary people, but Eve is different, the girl’s face is different It's pale, it seems that it will fall in the next second.

   "There is a sound of water around here."

  Eve’s voice was a little low, she was already a bit speechless.

   "I know, this place should be near the drain, cheer up Eve, you never want to drown in the water next time, right."

  Strongly patted the girl's face, Lorenzo felt a little bad, and Eve looked very bad.

  It is a spiraling iron ladder, because the humid air is full of rust, and the turbid air is filled with the smell of rust and the sour smell that seems to be food corruption.

Lorenzo felt that he had found the right place. In Xiacheng, this thing is called a drain, but it is a smelly drain. Most of people’s domestic garbage and factory waste are discharged directly along the drain, and finally sent to the Thames. In the river, in the history of Old Dunling, the Thames once became a dead river. After various powerful measures taken by the City Hall, the water is gradually clearing back.

  It was obvious that the group of people in Xiacheng wouldn't listen to the city hall. At the thought of jumping into the water mixed with their own excrement and fart, Lorenzo felt a little vomiting.

The hoarse wailing in the darkness is still there, from time to time, those are all demons, countless demons, now they are mostly gathered above the underground palace, trying to attack the soldiers' defense line, as for the few that Lorenzo encountered It may be the unlucky child who got lost.

  The danger is still there, and no one can guarantee that there are only these two monsters who get lost.

  "Hold on, it's coming. We will drift all the way into the Thames and be washed ashore. After that, you are still the princess of Phoenix, and I am a detective. No one knows that we have been here tonight."

  The sword slashed open the iron rope fiercely, and then the sealed iron gate opened, a heavy stench rushed over his face, and at the same time the sound of the rushing water was right in front of his eyes.

  It was a little different from what was expected. Behind the iron gate was a tiny pier, and a small wooden boat stopped on the dirty river.

   "The sign is on."

  Lorenzo yelled happily.

Although the Xiacheng District is chaotic and dirty, it is full of wealth, but wealth is one thing, and it is another thing to be able to transport wealth. Lorenzo originally thought it would be a narrow drainage canal, two people slightly If you are careless, you will be suffocated inside, but it is clear that Sabo is too caring.

During the years he has managed the underground palace, he has expanded it a lot and transformed it into an underground river. Although it is not very spacious, it is enough for a small boat to pass. It is a secret route that can secret wealth. Transported out of the underground palace, and the Thames is so long, no one knows where it will appear.

   "I slipped away."

  Lorenzo took Eve onto the boat and stood on the dock. He took out a book from his arms, wrapped it tightly in several layers with his clothes, and put it on the boat.

"what is that?"

  The girl clutched her clothes tightly. She felt very cold because of blood loss and moisture.

   "Saab's bill, I found it in the room behind the stained glass."

  Lorenzo explained to Eve.

"There are not enough clues tonight, but it is different with it. Every manager will have such a bill. After all, as long as the number of people under them comes up, there are no bills and many expenses will become very confusing, and a bill Too much can be exposed."

   Standing on the shore, Lorenzo picked up the oars. It seemed that this terrible night was finally over. Although he was bleeding, the detective was not happy.

  At this moment, there was an air current surging in the gloomy dampness, as if someone was stroking the heartstrings of the two with a razor. It tightened, and finally broke suddenly.

  The girl in front of her had her pupils shrunk slightly, she seemed to see something frightening, her mouth opened slightly, and she tried to warn her, but her tired body slowed her actions a lot.

  All the senses seemed to be sharp for a moment, the sound of the surging water, the breeze brushing the hair on the cheeks, and the clear sound of the third person's heartbeat came from the ear.

  Lorenzo saw himself in the girl's eyes, and also saw what was behind him in the shadow of the reflection.

  In an instant, Lorenzo made a choice. He had a chance to fight back, but he kicked on the wooden boat, and at the same time the sharp blade pierced his chest.

  The girl screamed. She dragged her exhausted body to try to save Lorenzo, but the wooden boat took her away until she disappeared at the end of the darkness.

   "Could it be that this is also luck? Mr. Lorenzo Holmes."

  The voice behind him sounded, and Lorenzo smiled bitterly, holding the stabbing sword firmly. This sword should have penetrated Lorenzo's heart, but at the last moment Lorenzo kicked the boat a little bit away, avoiding the fatal blow.

   "Of course not. People have to be vigilant instead of relying on Goddess of Luck."

   "Is that so?"

  The man spoke and then drew out the blade, but no blood poured out from it. It seemed that the body named Lorenzo had already drained blood.

  　The mental state is not very good recently. I have to rush to various job fairs. I have to go to another place tomorrow. The update should be later. After these matters are processed next week, the update volume should be restored.
