"Oh, Alexia's prop is really too imprecise."
He couldn't help sighing, but considering that divination is impossible in a strange environment, being able to invent such an imprecise prop is a miracle in itself.
In this way, he was tossing around in the city at night, during which he smashed through the young men and women who were lying in a carriage on the side of the road, and found two benefactors trading tobacco that had been listed as forbidden, and then found a man on the ground at the last place Fresh blood.
This means that Alexia's digital divination has completely failed. Before the small squares showed the next batch of suspected locations, Jenkins had no clues, so he decided to follow the blood on the ground to see what happened here.
The bloodstains extended from the side of the trash can to the deeper part of the alley, then turned to the right at the intersection, and then disappeared in front of a low wall. Jenkins climbed over the wall but did not find the next trace. Later, he climbed up from the low wall to the roof of the one-story bungalow on the left, and found blood on the tiles.
The injured man made his way along the roof of this alley, and jumped into the alley on the other side as he approached the main street. After repeating this three times, I have come to the so-called slums in the lower city east of the city.
The residential density and quality of life here can be regarded as the worst in Nolan, and it happens to be in the low-lying area of the entire city. Jenkins seldom came here, so he didn't know much about the alleys extending in all directions. After some tracking, he lost the trace of blood again. At this time, he didn't know where to look for it.
"I'm wasting time again."
He patted himself on the head, took out his pocket watch, and saw that it was already past zero, and it was now one thirty.
So I thought about flying to the sky again, and if I still couldn't find any trace of the entrance to the Paradox, then I could only go back to Loen to rest, recharge my batteries and come back tomorrow.
He looked at the surrounding environment, but couldn't tell where it was for a while. But the surrounding buildings are very low, so instead of taking the alleys, you can walk on other people's roofs. As long as you aim in one direction, you will be able to leave here sooner or later.
But doing so will inevitably lead to the yards of nearby people, after all, not all roofs are connected. As soon as he jumped off the roof, Jenkins found a pool of fresh blood under his boots. He looked around in surprise and saw the blood clearly extending to the well in the yard under the moonlight.
"Water well? No way?"
He tiptoed to the well and looked down, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. After putting on his monocle, he regained his vision, but he only saw that the surface of the well water was calm.
"The injured man jumped into the well? Is there a secret way down the well? No, I don't want to jump into the well... And this matter obviously has nothing to do with me, why should I be nosy?"
Even so, he didn't leave in the end. The cat, who noticed Jenkins' dangerous actions, immediately canceled the projection and returned to the warm and comfortable Luen bedroom, and then Jenkins jumped into the water with a plop~.
The diameter of the well head of this well is very large, and I am afraid it is not just for this family to draw water. Now in urban areas, such water wells can only be found in slums. After all, the coverage rate of water pipes in urban areas has been claimed to have reached more than 75% five years ago.
"I'm really crazy."
Jenkins thought as he jumped into the water to touch the freezing well water. He held his breath and dived down, groping vaguely to find a hole in the side wall. Swimming sideways along the entrance of the cave, I felt a faint light above my head within a few tens of seconds. So he immediately floated up to the surface of the water, and while wiping the water off his face with his sleeve, he opened his eyes and saw a neat sewer pipe lit by a row of scented candles in front of him. Ceremonial lines, and at the end of the duct there is a white-lit entrance surrounded by arches made of layers of stone.
This is obviously also part of the huge underground pipeline system under Nolan, but because of the collapse of the other end of the pipeline, it is not connected to any other part. If you want to enter this section of pipeline, you can only pass through the well on the ground. Of course, there may be other ways, but Jenkins has not found it yet.
The movement of him emerging from the water startled a few figures resting against the wall, and when these people came to the range covered by the candle light, Jenkins realized that none of them were human beings.
"Bone Eater?"
"Humanity?"
Both sides were a little surprised, but immediately realized that this was the enemy.
The aliens drew out their spines as weapons and rushed towards Jenkins who was standing in the shallow water. Jenkins hurriedly splashed the water on them, and at the same time [Ice Condensation] quickly cooled the body. This formed an ice ring made of solid ice around him, but this layer of ice ring was shattered by the bone weapons in the hands of the aliens in a few seconds.
The Bone Eaters are considered a special subspecies of ordinary humans, a special race formed after the fall of mankind. They feed on all kinds of bones, and can manipulate bones other than their own kind as their weapons, and when they hold weapons made of their own bones, these weapons have powerful characteristics against the extraordinary.
Adults of the Bonechewer population are considered masters of melee combat, so the best countermeasures against them are ranged conjuration attacks. But Jenkins couldn't extend the distance in this narrow pipe. Seeing that the situation was not good, he plunged into the water again. While shouting in a language he didn't understand, Jenkins rushed into the water together, using the weapon in his hand. Hit the water.
The cold air protruded from the bottom of the water and spread up. First, a thin layer of frost appeared, and then ice cubes floated up from the bottom of the water. Before the alien race could figure out what happened, the skin that touched the water surface felt numb, and then all the parts under the water surface were frozen in the water.
Jenkins poked his head out of the deep water area, and seeing that his trick was effective, he stretched out his hand out of the water to soak some water, and then popped out forcefully. The water droplets turned into ice beads while flying rapidly in the air, and then successfully penetrated the skull of the Bone Eater closest to Jenkins like a bullet.
"efficient!"
Joyful in his heart, he stretched out his right hand to grab the water, then dived until his feet touched the ground, and jumped up suddenly. While the upper body jumped out of the water, the right hand quickly pushed forward.
All of a sudden, the white cold air and ice beads were pushed out in a fan shape. The moment he jumped out of the water, the ice crystals spread in the air. In the thin cold mist, the ice beads split the uncondensed water waves and flew out, piercing through the water. Behind all the obstacles in front of it, a densely packed small hole was printed on the side wall.
