The Shadow of The Beginning

Chapter 83: Red-eye and retouching

Views:

Eisen had not expected the sudden collapse of the wheelchair.

Eisen fell to the ground and groaned in pain, but there was no time to rest.

He used both hands to pull up his upper body and crawled forward bit by bit, but there were not many footholds on the smooth slope for him to grab.

Fortunately, Aisen does muscle exercises every day, and the high-intensity slaughtering and cutting work has made his upper body muscles strong and powerful.

The paralyzed lower body now became a real hindrance, and the short distance on the slope became incredibly long.

Eisen tried his best and finally climbed up the slope. At this time, the human-faced rat had broken through the restrictions of the gate and came to the warehouse.

In two or three more steps, Eisen would be able to crawl out of the warehouse.

The warm sunlight had shone onto Eisen through the crack in the door, and he saw hope right before his eyes.

Eisen gathered his strength, exerted force with both hands at the same time, lunged forward, and opened the exit door.

At this moment, the game that depended on Eisen's life and death seemed to be about to end.

Aisen successfully climbed out of the door and smiled.

This is the smile of escaping death.

"Congratulations, Mr. Eisen. You managed to escape."

A voice came from the side of the door, which made Eisen's face change drastically. It was Yudekao's voice.

Yudkau was holding a pocket watch, the chronograph hand showing twenty-nine minutes.

"Thank you for your mercy, Mr. Eisen, but you still have one minute to escape. This is my friendly reminder."

"Damn it, is it fun to torture me?" Eisen cursed as he closed the door of the warehouse.

He could already see the black tide coming up the slope.

"Yes, it's very interesting." Yudkau said nonchalantly.

"Although I haven't received the news of your downfall, it still makes me happy to see you struggling to survive."

Yudkao looked down at Eisen who was holding the gate and said,

"But that doesn't satisfy me. Do you understand?"

Yudekao's deep voice made Eisen's heart tremble.

The door behind him was already banging against the human-faced rats, and Eisen could even smell the stench coming from the large number of human-faced rats.

That's the smell of rotting meat.

Eisen couldn't help but think of a terrible possibility, that is, the priests and pastors had all turned into rats with human faces.

"You... don't come over here! Don't go back on your word... Are you a man...?"

Aisen said tremblingly.

"I'm sorry Mr. Eisen, but I never said I wouldn't intervene. Did I?"

A ferocious smile appeared on Yudekao's face.

In Eisen's eyes, Yudkao is now a devil, even more terrifying than a devil.

"No! You can't do this! You are a demon who destroys humanity! A devil! A monster!"

Eisen was filled with fear and spoke nonsense.

There was a hint of mockery on Yudkao's face. He pushed away Eisen who was blocking the warehouse door and snapped his fingers.

The human-faced rats behind the door stopped their restless behavior and moved back a little after hearing their master's orders.

Yudekao gently pulled open the door in front of the warehouse, threw Eisen in, and closed the door of the warehouse completely.

Eisen fell on the cloth bag full of grain with a clang. As the warehouse door was closed by Yudekao, the light outside the door was also blocked out.

It was pitch black everywhere, and the last thing Eisen saw was the bright red eyes around him.

"It's over. My life is over."

This was Eisen's last thought, and the human-faced rats around him rushed forward.

The human-faced rat transformed by Pastor Gao Sen bit off Eisen's throat in one bite. He didn't even have the chance to scream before being eaten by the human-faced rat.

Yudkao, who was outside the door, leaned against the wall, stood on tiptoe, stretched out his right hand to cover his face, and said softly,

"It's over. My revenge is over."

His right hand brushed across his face and he used his palm to tidy up his hair. The hair that had been hanging naturally was combed back to the back of his head.

Yudekao stood up straight, pulled at his priest robe that didn't fit him well, and laughed at himself.

"It seems that the profession of priest is not suitable for me."

He glanced at the dazzling sun and left alone aimlessly.

He ordered the rats to stay in the church and defile the most sacred place with filthy things.

Pippi followed the scent left by Yudekao all the way, but stopped at a crowded vegetable market.

Pippi showed a puzzled expression on his face and tilted his head.

That silly look makes Pippi look very cute.

Pippi's confusion came from the fact that the taste of Yudekao suddenly became much weaker when it arrived here.

Because there are not only a lot of people here, but also a variety of smells; there are people selling fish, pickles, meat, and spices. The numerous smells make it a lot more difficult for Pippi to track them.

Seeing this, Jobtran let Pippi explore on her own.

Even if your partner is a dog, you must trust him unconditionally. This is one of Job Transmut's life creeds.

This is how Jobtran taught his teammates, so he is actually a man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart in front of his teammates.

This is the personal charm of Jobtran, and it is also what he learned from his life in Arkham Orphanage.

Pippi tilted his head and glanced at Joe Butran, who in turn gave Pippi a reassuring look.

Pippi seemed to understand what Joet Brown meant, and began to move his dark little nose seriously.

Amid the myriad of smells, Pippi sensed the direction in which Yudekao was heading, and began to trot with Jobtran.

The members of Team Six were leading the way for Pippi and Jobtran. They shouted,

"Team Six is investigating a case, and they are giving way in time. Team Six is investigating a case, and they are giving way in time."

After hearing this, people made way, making the originally crowded vegetable market appear much more spacious.

Seeing this, Pippi accelerated and took Jobtran through the vegetable market, and they ran towards the outside of the city.

Jobtran pulled Pippi's leash and chased after Pippi who was moving his four legs quickly.

The long run made both Jobtran and Pippi tired.

Pippi was so tired that his tongue stuck out of his mouth and he was breathing heavily; and Jobtran was also sweating profusely, not to mention the other team members who were chasing after him.

Jobtran first blew a whistle, then raised his right fist, meaning that he would temporarily rest on the spot.

When Pippi heard the whistle, he realized it was time to rest, so he stopped running, walked to the feet of Jobtran who was already sitting down, and leaned over.

"Pipi, you really know how to enjoy yourself." Jobtran scolded with a smile.

Even though he cursed a lot, Joe Butran still loved Pippi, the mascot of the team, very much.

Jobtran took off the water bag on his back and gulped down a few gulps.

"Ha~ It's really annoying to run in such hot weather." After saying that, he poured some on his left hand and let Pippi lick it.

"Here. You must be hot too, furry guy." Jobtran smiled as he watched Pippi licking the water happily.
