After hypnotizing the school guard, Negri gave him some special plant powder for him to smear on the soles of his shoes. These powders can carry some unique traces, which can only be discovered by Negri, the person who prepared them. .
It was based on this trace that Negri tracked down the anomaly removal team.
"Should I say courage or ignorance? Probably the latter." Negri turned over and went down the sewer, and closed the manhole cover by the way. It is a good habit to close the door casually.
At this time, Negri's tracking target is also in danger.
In the sewer full of sewage, there seemed to be something tumbling inside, and a group of people headed by Logue were running away, their expressions were terrified, they ran as soon as they saw the road, and didn't care about the direction at all.
The torches in their hands rattled as they ran. If it wasn't for lighting, they would have thrown the torch aside long ago.
"Logue, didn't you say that you have inherited magic, hurry up and cast it." A girl named Reese in the team gasped and shouted frantically. This girl has a weak physique and has fallen at the end of the team. The monster rolling in the sewage was right behind her.
Although Reese usually said that she exercises regularly, she actually went to work, and she said that she exercised in order not to lose face. In fact, she joined the anomaly removal team to eat and drink. Although Logue was a little arrogant, he Willing to spend money, the team's daily meals and various expenses are covered by Loge, and there are usually club funds, which are much better than her part-time job.
In order to join the club to eat and drink, Ruisi claimed to like mystery, but she was not interested in these things. She thought it was just like other clubs, just messing around, but she didn't expect to encounter a mysterious incident.
In fact, when there were signs before, Reese seemed to find an excuse to quit, but Logue later promised a large bonus because she found the clues. Thinking of the increasingly scarce living expenses given to her by her family, she greedily stayed. .
Facts have proved that greed is indeed a bad habit, so she is now in danger, and most of the people in the team are blaming Logue, the team leader.
Before, he swore that he had inherited magical abilities, but when he was in danger, he directly ordered to run away.
Logue was also troubled and couldn't tell. They followed the trail of the school guard who died before, found the entrance of the sewer, and found some abnormal traces there, as well as some disgusting dung piles, and then they met the man from the dung pile The monster that rushed out of it.
Logue overestimated his psychological quality. He couldn't say he was weak, but he couldn't say he was strong either. To cast magic, except for some special magic, most magic required a stable mental state.
After practicing for a long time, other mages can at least maintain some stable spirit to cast spells even in panic situations, while Logue has only inherited magic for more than a day. Second, the various taboos of casting spells are not clear.
So when faced with the monster that suddenly appeared, he couldn't complete the spellcasting at all, and fortunately he still retained some sanity, he yelled to retreat, and fled with his anomaly removal team.
Of course they were able to escape because they sacrificed a friend.
A member standing near the dung pile was directly hit by the white mass, and then they heard the last scream of the young life before he died.
Relying on the function of the "artifact", they won the time to escape. After losing their direction, they were chased by the monster again after running wildly.
"Help me, I don't want to die." Reese looked at the silent Logue who ran ahead and broke down completely, and she shouted loudly: "My parents paid so much to send me to the academy , If I die, I will have nothing."
"Logue, Randyll, save me, save me, who will save me!" Reese cried, but ran slower and slower.
"Shua..."
The white figure in the sewage leaped out and rushed towards Ruisi with a stench, but Ruisi stopped running completely, hugged her head and crouched on the ground screaming loudly.
In adventure stories, there will always be a hero who descends from the sky to rescue the desperate beauty, or the members of the same team discover their conscience and turn around to save her.
However, the fact is that Logue and the others in front were even faster, and they didn't even look back. The "hero" who fell from the sky had just entered the sewer at this moment, so there was no suspense. The cry resounded through the entire sewer again, stimulating the people in front to speed up desperately again.
After all, one of the three artifacts only has so many friends, maybe at some point, he will be the one who screams.
After passing the corner again, the back gradually quieted down, as if the monster was satisfied after preying on the two people, or they ran out of the range of the monster.
A few people could no longer care about the gentleman's decency, and directly collapsed in the dirty sewer, panting heavily.
After a few minutes of silence, one of the members broke out. He grabbed Logue's collar and asked with a very excited expression: "You bastard, where is your magic? You tricked us into coming here just to escape. , kill us by the way?"
"Why are you yelling at me? I have already said that this journey is full of dangers. You didn't complain about these things. Instead, you looked excited." Although Logue felt guilty in his heart, he was so arrogant that he would not easily Acknowledge your mistakes and respond to the person's heckling with a louder voice.
"Nott is dead, and Reese is dead, you coward full of lies!" Another team member, the one who followed Negri before, also stood up and accused Logue loudly.
"I did run away because I wasn't ready, I couldn't release the spell, but you guys are not much better, did you slow down one step at a time?" Logue also had the mentality of breaking the jar.
"I don't think it's time for us to quarrel. There are two problems now." At this time, the only female member of the team said coldly: "First, where are we now?"
At this time, everyone who calmed down realized that they had lost their way in the sewer because they were in a panic.
"Another question, where did the school guard and Randall go?" Logue was taken aback. He was too panicked before, but only now did he realize that besides the two people who were killed by the monster, there were two other people who were running away. The others are so bad that they have already separated from them.
"They took the fourth fork before us to the left." Several people recalled how they separated.
"So what should we do now?" the woman asked with a bitter face.
"Boom!"
A voice sounded from the top of several people's heads. They trembled in fright, and almost ran away again. It took a long time to realize that it should be the sound from the ground.
"This is the construction site. I remember that there is a manhole cover near here, and we can go out from there." The person who questioned Logue before thought excitedly that he never wanted to stay in this terrible sewer again.
"Then what about Randall and the school guard?" Logue just asked, and got an answer.
"I'll let them die!" The two men said at the same time at first, and then the person who followed Negri continued: "Logue, don't try to deceive us again, if you want to save people, go yourself, don't make us a scapegoat , Randyll is your brother, not ours."
Logue's expression froze, he just mentioned something casually, purely for the purpose of refuting. In fact, he also wished to find a nearby exit immediately, and then leave this ghost place immediately, but the words of these two people made the arrogant Logue Falling into an embarrassing situation, if he just followed out like this, and this matter spread, what would other people think of him.
Abandoning Nott and Reese can also explain that he is not ready. If he leaves Randyll and the others now, his face will be completely lost.
"I will save them regardless of whether you go or not." Logue said with a strong face, and he kept comforting himself in his heart. It was just an unexpected situation, so he had nothing to do. Now he is mentally prepared Now, if you meet a monster again, let it taste the power of magic.
"If you want to die, then go, Quill, who are you going with?" The two men looked at the only female teammate left, hoping that he would be with them. After all, there are many ways to survive.
The woman named Quill glanced at both sides and became a little hesitant, and finally she stood by Logue's side.
"You will regret it." The two men muttered, and they looked to the side to find a nearby exit. Obviously, they didn't know the fixed laws of thrillers. Those who leave the team and run away will be eaten soon.
So after two more turns, they saw a new dunghill, from which the white monster had already emerged.
Logue and Quill looked at each other in embarrassment, and could only bite the bullet and carefully explore the way they came from. Suddenly they heard the screams behind them, and the two of them shook their bodies and ran immediately.
At least they didn't panic this time. They chose the path where Randyll and the school guard got separated. It didn't take long for them to hear another scream. After sacrificing two more friends, they got the information. There are also monsters.
Logue and Quill panted and ran in the sewer, they turned around, and suddenly found a little light in front of them, thinking that the two who had encountered the exit ran over quickly, so they rolled down a stone step, waiting for them to endure Opening his eyes in pain, he realized that they had fallen into a long passage, and there were prisons on both sides.
There are some carved pipes inside the prison, which occasionally hum.
"Kang..."
A sound woke up the two people who were still in a daze. Mikael, leaning on crutches, closed the door of the passage, walked in, and said humorously: "It's a good habit to close the door casually, but it's a pity that people's brains are not good when they are old. forgotten."
