Chapter 31: Holy Flame

It seemed as if the whole world had lost its light, and there was only unrecognizable darkness in sight. Eve walked in the dark corridor, still looking forward to the arrival of light. Just as Lorenzo said, when people who have lived in darkness for a long time see the light, it will be a kind of hysterical madness.

Lorenzo and Eve are now in a deeper place. Ever since the stomach grass was freed from its restraints, the two have not stopped moving until they arrived here.

The great detective had no idea where the two people were. It was pitch black and silent all around, and he couldn't tell the direction at all. At this time, crazy voices kept ringing.

That was the sound coming from behind the wall, weird and creepy, as if there were thousands of steel needles rubbing against the wall gently, or as if countless poisonous snakes were rolling their scales, making a rustling sound.

"It's the stomach-chewing grass. It's a mass of flesh, blood, and tentacles. Calling it grass is just a property similar to plants, but its essence is still a demon. Now it has escaped."

Lorenzo's voice came from the darkness, but Eve couldn't see him, which felt really bad.

"What should we do?"

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

A hand reached out from the darkness and grabbed Eve. It was Lorenzo. He lit another cigarette so that Eve could confirm his location.

The corridor was interconnected, and the route was easy to identify, as they just had to go straight up. However, as the two went up, the corridor began to shake violently. This phenomenon had occurred in the hall before, and it seemed that someone was firing at the underground palace.

"Could it be someone who saves us?"

In this dire situation, Eve has forgotten that Lorenzo used her. She now just wants to escape from this nightmarish place.

"It shouldn't be. Logically speaking, Su Yalan Hall wouldn't have heavy firepower like artillery, but tonight, Su Yalan Hall is the only one who knows we are here. If he wants to mobilize such weapons, he needs to apply to the military. But even if he applies, there is no reason for him to arrive so quickly."

Dust fell from the walls of the corridor, layer after layer, as if the place would collapse in the next second.

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

The whole incident seemed to become clear, and Lorenzo struggled forward, trying to find an exit.

Tonight has nothing to do with Lorenzo. This is a game between Sabo and another force. Those monsters are not prepared for themselves, but for those who attack here. Lorenzo and Eve are just little lambs who accidentally got into this battle.

"Do you smell anything?"

Eve sniffed the air and seemed to sense something.

Lorenzo took the cigarette, the aroma of tobacco interfered with his judgment to some extent.

The sound of his distinct breathing was heard in the darkness. The silence lasted for a while, and then Lorenzo's voice sounded again.

"One good news, one bad news."

Pulling Eve, Lorenzo ran directly in the corridor, not paying any attention to the sound made by the stomach chewing grass. The two of them seemed to be in a hurry to die.

"The good news is that a group of more professional people have come to rescue us. They know how to use kerosene to seal the underground palace. Demons are afraid of fire, so this can weaken them to a great extent."
