Ember Gun

  Chapter 31 Holy Flame

It seems that the entire world has lost its light, and there is only unrecognizable darkness in the field of vision. Eve walks in the dark corridor, she is still looking forward to the coming of light, as Lorenzo said, people who have lived in darkness for a long time are there. When you see the light, it will be a kind of hysterical madness.

  Lorenzo and Eve are deeper at the moment. Since their stomachs got rid of their restraints, the two have not stopped moving until they got here.

  The great detective also didn't know where the two were. The silence was all around him, and he couldn't tell the direction at all. At this moment, crazy voices kept ringing.

  It was the sound from behind the wall. It was weird and unspeakable. It was creepy. It seemed that there were thousands of steel needles rubbing against the wall slightly, and it seemed that countless venomous snakes were rolling the scales and making that clattering sound.

   "It's the stomach grass. It is a mass of flesh and limbs. Calling it a grass is only a feature similar to a plant, but its essence is still a monster, and now it is out of trouble."

  Lorenzo’s voice came from the darkness, but Eve couldn’t see him. This feeling was really bad.

"what should we do?"

  "Go up, we need to find a way out. Sooner or later, we will be eaten up by the stomach."

  A hand stretched out in the dark and grabbed Eve. It was Lorenzo. He lit another cigarette so that Eve could confirm his position.

  The corridor extends in all directions, and the route is also very easy to confirm that it is all the way up, but as the two people move up, the corridor begins to shake violently. This phenomenon has occurred in the hall. It seems that someone is shelling toward the underground palace.

   "Will it be the one to save us?"

  In this terrible situation, Eve has forgotten Lorenzo's use of her, she just wants to escape this nightmare place.

"It should not be. It stands to reason that the Suyalan Hall will not have such heavy firepower as artillery, but the only one who knows that we are here tonight is the Suyalan Hall. If he wants to mobilize this kind of firepower, he needs to apply to the military, but even if he does. There is no reason to arrive so soon."

  Dust fell from the wall of the tunnel, one after another, as if it would collapse in the next second.

   "Unless...unless there is another group of people..."

  The whole incident seemed to be clear, Lorenzo moved forward with difficulty, trying to find an exit.

Tonight has nothing to do with Lorenzo. This is a game between Sabo and another force. Those demons are not prepared for themselves, but those who attack here. Lorenzo and Eve just strayed into this battle. Little cotton sheep.

   "Do you smell anything?"

  Eve sniffed the air and seemed to perceive something.

  Lorenzo took the cigarette, and the fragrance of the tobacco interfered with his judgment to a certain extent.

  He heard a clear inhalation sound in the darkness, and there was silence for a while, then Lorenzo's voice sounded again.

   "One good news, one bad news."

   Pulling Eve, Lorenzo ran directly in the tunnel, ignoring the noises made by his stomach, and the two of them were in a hurry to die.

  "The good news is that a group of more professional people have come to rescue us. They know that using kerosene to seal the underground palace and demons fear the flames can weaken them to a large extent."

  Lorenzo shouted loudly.

   "The bad news is that we are also in the underground palace, and they will burn us to death together!"

  You can clearly smell the heavy smoke in the dark, and you can feel it in such a deep position. It is hard to imagine what the upper part is burning.

   "Then are we still going up?"

  Eve panicked immediately. If she continues to move upward, she will inevitably collide with the sea of ​​flames, but if she continues downward, she will linger.

  "Down! The underground palace is so deep and it has raised so many people. It must have its own exhaust system. We need to find that."

  Lorenzo soon thought of a new route, and he was fully prepared before coming to the underground palace.

"Old Dunling’s underground drainage system serves the entire steam system. It spreads all over the city. Huge steam gushes from the underground steam engine. The accumulated rainwater will fall again, and all of this will eventually return to the Thames. River."

  Having been in the old Dunling for so long, Lorenzo had already incorporated all the knowledge about the old Dunling into his mind.

  “There must be an underdrain draining sewage in this underground palace. As long as we find that, we can directly follow the channel back to the Thames!”

In terms of escape, this detective showed incredible reliability. At this moment, he didn't do much to cover up. He directly waved his sword and cut open the iron gate at the end of his vision. After running for so long, this was the first time Lorenzo saw. A door, no matter what's inside, he would go in and see.

  The iron gate cracked, and then thick smoke poured into the corridor, and the two felt a blazing heat as soon as they stepped in.

  This seems to be under the hall, and at the end of the darkness there is a fire light, and it is fast approaching.

  It was on fire, and it whimpered as it moved forward, and its tentacles scratched the wall, making a sound like scales rubbing.

   "I guess that's the companion monster of the stomachache."

Lorenzo looked a little ugly. Just like the flowers in nature, the stomach grass can provide shelter for the monster, but in the same way, the seeds of the stomach grass will also be parasitic on the monster's body, growing like iron branches on the hideous body. Red grass.

Raising the shotgun in his hand, Lorenzo squeezed the trigger directly, and then countless projectiles hit the flesh and blood with great force, blood splashed, but then more tentacles came from the wound. Grow, intense pain and desire for flesh and blood drive the deformed monster forward.

   "Run, hold your breath and jump when you see something like a drain!"

  Lorenzo did not step back, but said coldly to Eve.

"how about you?"

  Eve didn’t understand. Could it be that Lorenzo wanted to deal with that monster alone?

   "Run! You will only get in the way if you stay here!"

The demon began to rush, Lorenzo yelled angrily, and then pushed Eve away. The girl staggered a few steps, looking at the figure standing in front of the fire, as if she had made some determination, and turned her head. He ran hard and yelled at the same time.

   "I will wait for you in the back!"

  In this terrible situation, someone actually said that they would wait for you. If Lorenzo could cry so much before, but now it is different. The criticality of the situation does not have time for him to think about other things.

  In essence, hunting demons is a very dangerous job. Everything about demons is corroding the human spirit, not to mention fighting with them at close range, bathing in the blood of the enemy.

  Even Lorenzo can't guarantee that he can stay sane in this situation, so Eve must leave. Of course, there are other factors, such as the next thing that must not be known to others.

With a sharp sword, the detective's figure was twisted strangely at the moment when the demon was about to hit Lorenzo. With the flexibility of ordinary people, this is absolutely impossible to do, but he did it like this. A blind spot was found in the huge figure, and then he used force to pass through it, and at the same time the sword was cutting the body, bringing up large swaths of blood.

  The demon made a hoarse scream, and the tentacles on his body seemed to be awakened, fighting strangely like a group of snakes, rushing to Lorenzo, but only a sharp white light greeted them.

  Lorenzo was holding his sword, and a slight white gas rose from under his clothes, like steam.

The gray-blue pupils began to shrink, and finally turned into vertical pupils like that beast. It seemed that something was squirming under his body, but because of the existence of the clothes, he could only see the faint bulge, and slowly raised the sword. , The tip of the sword was slightly down, and he was still on the verge of reason.

In the next second, the demon roared forward, tentacles like a sharp sword swinging. As long as it touches the flesh and blood, the tiny mouthparts on it will bite everything, but the sword light falls like thunder, like a guillotine knife. Cut everything off.

The figure rolled quickly. After entering that weird state, Lorenzo's body functions were constantly being strengthened, running faster and shooting out the sword more quickly. He even said that he could directly pass the giant monster just by jumping in place. body of.

  After that, the shotgun launched an attack from above, and the dense projectiles accurately hit the demon's head, opening a big gap in the bowl, and Lorenzo directly abandoned the shotgun and let it fall at will.

All this deadly happened within a few seconds. Lorenzo's body was still in the air, his legs slammed against the wall, and under this force, he held the sword in both hands and stabbed it fiercely. .

  That is the falling thunder, the fire sword that judges the demons.

The sharp rod and sword pierced the shotgun’s notch directly and penetrated through the head of the demon, but at this moment the grass also caught Lorenzo, and countless mouthparts were biting tightly on his body, like The swarm of wolves swarming, at the speed of eating that he saw in the deep pit, Lorenzo will be eaten up in ten seconds. Even if he gets away now, his body will be parasitic on the stomach. , Only death awaits him.

   Endless blood gushed out of the body, and in the end only a rickety bone was left on the body of the demon. This was the story that should have followed, but none of this happened.

It's a terrible thing, at least for the stomach, the mouthparts bit through Lorenzo's skin, sucking the warm blood greedily, but soon there are not many monsters. IQ realized one thing.

That was the blood that made the demon's appetite disgusting, and Lorenzo's body exuded the same aura as their demon. It seemed that in this short period of time this human being became a demon. It was confused, but it was followed by intense pain. Covered everything.

  The blood-red tentacles wrapped Lorenzo in groups, but in the crevices of the tentacles, endless white flames were released from them and rose, burning every part of the demon.

   "It hurts, right?"

  In the white fireworks, Lorenzo's expression was crazy. His blood was burning, like some kind of chemical medicine. The bright current had no effect when it was outside the body, but when it touched the flesh and blood of the demon, it began to burn crazily.

He stubbornly squeezed the sword, the blood stretched down the lines of the blade to the flesh and blood, and then a more violent flame ignited, every inch of the flesh and blood of the demon burned to ashes under this holy flame, but it could not hurt To Lorenzo himself.

The huge body rushed and it tried to throw Lorenzo off, but the detective stayed there like a nail, nailed to its head, and his stomach surged, but the result was also Engulfed by a bigger fire.

  The roaring impact lasted for a long time, like a battle of trapped beasts, at the end the demon slowly stopped and it died.

  The holy white flame burned through its body. The huge corpse was only the unburnt flesh and ashes. Lorenzo paused for a long time before slowly getting up with a cane and sword. His face was pale and even a little unstoppable.

  Fighting with monsters, he usually prepares a lot in advance, but the life of the old Dunling made him forget everything in the past. He thought the monsters were dead, but they still found them today.

  The demon was burned to death by Lorenzo's blood, but Lorenzo also lost too much blood in a trance, picked up the shotgun, and used the sword as a crutch to move forward slowly.

  Gently stroked his back with his hand. It was Lorenzo's spine, but unlike normal people's spine, he had a very obvious bulge.

   "The silver binding bolt is still intact..."

  He sighed, not knowing what he was grateful for.

   Just when Lorenzo was about to put down his vigilance, the instinctive warning rose again, coming from the front of Lorenzo, the direction Eve was leaving.
