Today, Old Dunling is dull again. A light mist overflows from the ground. Gray-black smoke columns rise from the chimneys, one after another, supporting the distance between heaven and earth. The machines run slowly, driving the miraculous creations. In between, airships like giant whales are swimming, like an illusion from another world.
For people like Lorenzo who have lived in Old Dunling for a long time, all of this has become commonplace. This is the forefront of steam technology, and new things are born every day. But for those visitors from afar, everything here is extremely new.
The street lamps are already hung with banners, adding a touch of color to this grey world. Many strangers can be seen on the streets, walking excitedly on the streets of Old Dunling, looking up at the sky and watching the dark shadows in the clouds.
Because of the visit of the diplomatic corps, the number of tourists increased, and most of them went to visit the factory. This kind of large-scale mechanical assembly line is extremely rare in their country. In this case, it has become a tourist attraction.
In order to maintain law and order, more mounted police officers showed up, and the roads seemed a bit crowded and lively. However, all this had nothing to do with Lorenzo. Under his coat were weapons brought by Joey, and he was very busy, busy solving cases and killing people.
The Purge Agency was busy searching for the whereabouts of Revelation, so the rest of the Knight Commanders were transferred back to Old Dunling, so the stowaways could only rely on Lorenzo himself.
Just like a mysterious connection, Lorenzo always had a strange feeling that this insignificant case would lead him into some grand vortex.
It can be clearly seen that there are many more police forces in the area bordering the lower city. Bypassing the sight of those mounted police, Lorenzo sneaked into the lower city again. He needed to find the Rat King. That guy must know something.
Lorenzo was searching for the traces of the bad rats. Normally, these homeless people were very common. They wandered everywhere, sometimes not just in the downtown area. But for some reason, Lorenzo walked here for a long time and didn't see a single homeless person, as if they had disappeared overnight.
His eyes were filled with vigilance, and he lowered the brim of his hat, hiding his face completely in the shadows. He put his hands in his pockets, just like before, his pockets were torn, so he could reach his hands directly under his coat and grip the handle of the gun.
Something's going on... Downtown, something's not right.
Although the downtown area was chaotic and dirty, it had never been so lifeless. As Lorenzo went deeper, he could not see anyone else until a rat flashed before his eyes.
Rats are very common, but rats with chains tied to their tails are rare, and they are the police yellow chains that Lorenzo has seen before.
He looked around, as if trying to find the guy who was secretly controlling all this, but he found nothing, and the mouse was about to disappear from his sight.
Lorenzo followed without thinking. Considering his previous pursuit in the rat's nest, he thought that the yellow warning light was an indicator of the location. The mysterious rat king wanted him to go somewhere.
It could be a trap, or it could be a clue, Lorenzo didn't care. There were weapons under his clothes, and the detective was fully armed at the moment.
