Andre's face had rotted a lot, and the rough and rancid smell permeated the air, and he could vaguely see his panic and struggle before death.
But other than that, Lucien could no longer find any things or traces related to his strange death.
"What does this have to do with the recent low profile of Aaron's gang?"
After quietly contemplating for a few minutes, Lucien found a rag, wrapped his hands around his hands, and then pushed Andre's body into the water heavily. Although he didn't know how he was caught by the barbed wire before, but This time, there will be no such luck.
Andre's body followed the flow of the underground river, passed through the barbed wire, and was washed into the Belen River. As for who would find it later, it was beyond Lucien's control.
Throwing the purse and rags into the dark river, Lucien stood up and went back, but this time, Lucien did not come on the same road, but at a fork more than 20 meters away. He changed his direction so as not to meet those beggars again, and this road, according to Lucien's comparison of the route he had come in, would pass through the ruins of the witch's magic laboratory and return to the entrance of the sewer that he entered.
After turning a few meters at the fork in the road, Lucien suddenly heard heavy footsteps.
These footsteps are messy and scattered, and they are transmitted so far and so clearly in the quiet and closed sewer, as if a large group of people are coming from a distance, and the weight of several of them is very exaggerated, which is why they cause such a heavy effect .
Lucien straightened his back, looked left and right at the corridor he was walking on, and soon found a depression not far in front, although it was not enough to cover his body, as long as those people who came over would not Come in and check carefully, it cannot be found from the outside.
With his back firmly pressed against the wall, Lucien waited for a few minutes, and finally waited for the group of people to pass by.
Perhaps it was too smooth in the past, and there were no problems, so the group of people just casually looked at the corridor where Lucien was hiding, and then continued to walk forward.
"You guys, quickly throw these corpses down. May the Lord bless them, they will be eaten by the sharp-billed mullet." A deep voice sounded, and it came from a distance in the closed and quiet sewer, but his voice Sometimes there seems to be some leaks, so that many syllables are inaccurate.
Lucien was going to take this opportunity to leave, but this voice made him frown: "Why is it a little familiar, who is it?" He began to think about everyone he had met in his mind.
Then came another familiar voice from Lucien: "Why are you collecting so slowly, don't delay the important matter."
"It's the old man who tried to preach." Lucien recognized the second voice because he had only heard it for a short time.
The first voice was silent for a while, and replied with a touch of fear: "Don't worry, within ten days, we will definitely get it together. Boss Aaron has already ordered it, no matter what the cost."
Aaron, Longsan Aaron
Lucien immediately recalled the owner of the first voice, the Jackson who brought someone to destroy his house and was beaten up by himself and John. Grinding several teeth: "It sounds like the Aaron gangster is not a victim, but an accomplice of a cult. Then Andre probably refused to obey and was silenced."
The preaching old man smiled grimly: "Please tell Mr. Aaron and that, as long as you can cooperate wholeheartedly, we will never let you down, don't think I have no power, but under the light of God, I am just the smallest Reptiles, the priests are strong enough to rival the bishop of the cult of truth, if it wasn't for maintaining that thing, I wouldn't need your help at all."
"Okay, I'll tell Boss Aaron." Jackson replied in a low mood.
After a few plops, someone spoke again with a trembling voice: "But, Brother Jackson, it's very difficult to find that kind of guy who disappears and doesn't attract attention. It's really hard to get fifty of them in ten days. I don’t know where all the beggars in this sewer have gone, except for yours, I can’t find any of them.” The latter sentence was addressed to the missionary old man.
The missionary old man chuckled: "Of course it was washed into the Belen River and became food for the sharp-billed mullet."
Jackson took a light breath: "Ska, don't worry, Boss Aaron has already said, at all costs. As long as we don't provoke nobles, priests, and high society people, even if we kidnap other people, he will It was resolved with all the connections and resources."
"Boss Jackson, do you have a goal?" Scar asked hesitantly.
Jackson sneered: "Ska, you have seen and done so many things, do you still want to quit? Don't forget Andre! As for the target, huh, my cheeks are still aching, those two bastards, And their family, how can we let it go!"
Hearing these words, Lucien almost couldn't suppress his anger. Jackson wanted the lives of himself and Aunt Alisa's family out of serious hatred, which was really vicious.
But soon, Lucien controlled his anger, because he had heard a lot about such strange characters, and it is not uncommon for them to kill the whole family for a few dollars or a quarrel: "Fortunately, I heard, Otherwise, John and I can still handle it, but Uncle Joel, Aunt Alisa, and Ivan may not be spared."
"This matter must be resolved as soon as possible." Lucien thought quietly, and he became murderous. If Jackson and the others were to leave the sewer, where would he go to find them? At that time, he would have no way to separate himself, so how could he protect him? The Joel family, who knows when and where Jackson and the others will attack, "As long as they are all killed, the rest of Aaron's gang will not miss us for no reason. Can make up an excuse to reveal to John, let him solve the problem of this cult through Sir Wayne."
At that time, as long as Lucien tells John that he accidentally heard a beggar preaching blasphemy, beggars have lived in the sewer for a long time, as long as the church or the knights go to the sewer to investigate carefully, they should find something Clues, as for the excuses I made up, they will die anyway.
If Lucien doesn't do anything now, but directly reports through John, as long as the missionary old man and the few cult beggars are caught, it will be impossible to explain his visit to the sewer.
Lucien became more calm, touched his pocket, and confirmed that the casting materials were easy to get. With the cover of their voices, the footsteps came to the corner lightly, and carefully peeped.
There are nine of them.
There were too many people, Lucien was not completely sure to kill everyone, and there was even a possibility that they would kill them all together, but at this time, he could no longer back down and could only fight calmly.
※※※
Ska and his two companions threw the last sack wrapped in the corpse into the dark river, and tremblingly poked it with a long pole so that they could pass through the large hole deliberately made in the barbed wire. When emotions were intertwined, the three gangster thugs couldn't help but prayed to the God of truth in their hearts. They didn't even dare to look at the corpse, and even avoided it in fear.
Although they are all villains who have had their own lives under their command, they still cannot accept the thing of digging out the heart of a living person.
Glancing at the weird and mysterious old man, Scar resisted the trembling in his heart and said, "Brother Jackson, we're done, we'd better leave quickly. I heard that there are many water ghosts in the Belen River. If they swim in..."
"Okay." Jackson looked at the missionary old man, "Does the water ghost appear in the Belen River have anything to do with you? After all, so many corpses were thrown in, and the time is more consistent."
The missionary old man shook his head: "We don't want to make other noises before the matter is successful. Alto is the western core of the ancient magic empire. Maybe there is a strong death force emanating somewhere in the Belem River. In short, the truth cult Haven't noticed us yet."
Just as Jackson was about to order his subordinates to leave, he suddenly saw that Scar's expression became frightened, and at the same time a strange, awkward, short and hasty voice sounded from behind.
Scar saw a black figure standing quietly at the corner twenty meters behind Jackson and the missionary old man in front of his eyes. He only showed half of his body and face, which was blurred under the moss fluorescent light. Clear, full of gloom, weirdness and terror.
"There are ghosts in the sewers!" This is the fear that Scar has been suppressing in his heart since he participated in the cult's heart harvesting - he is afraid of being retaliated by resentful spirits and ghosts, and he dare not go to the God of Truth for purification of such things , Now, under the dim light and closed environment, just as the corpse was thrown away, Scar's fears all erupted, making him stay there with his hands and feet going weak.
Just when Scar saw the black shadow, the strange mysterious man raised his right hand, and countless shimmering dust floated out, uttering strange and awkward syllables that did not resemble human voices.
Jackson and the missionary old man turned around as soon as they heard the voice, and found the mysterious and terrifying black figure, but before they could take two steps, the surrounding lights were strangely and completely extinguished.
It was pitch dark, and you couldn't see your fingers. Except for the preaching old man who was still calm, Jackson, Scar and the others were all extremely terrified, waving the dagger in their hands indiscriminately, not letting anyone get close.
But the corridor was not wide in the first place, and they were standing very close to each other. During this swing, someone was stabbed immediately and screamed in pain.
The screaming once again aroused more fear in Jackson and the others. They were panicked because they fell into the strange darkness. At this moment, they heard their own people screaming in pain, and they were more worried about their own safety, so they swung the dagger even more. use force.
"Forbidden Light", an informal magic, creates a dark area 6 meters long and 6 meters wide, which cannot be illuminated by ordinary light sources, and can last for one minute during the magic apprenticeship stage.
"Calm down, calm down, oh!" Although the missionary old man doesn't even have the level of a trainee priest, it doesn't prevent him from hearing the priests mention some common sense about magic and divine arts. This weird darkness must have been made by that mysterious person. He couldn't panic, and secondly, people rushed in all four directions. The darkness definitely couldn't cover too much, but as soon as he uttered a calm cry, he was stabbed with a dagger by Jackson, who was in panic, and screamed in pain.
In just a dozen seconds, in the darkness, two people had already been stabbed to the vitals and fell to the ground, and several others had more or less wounds on their bodies.
Driven by fear, Scar and the other four fled to the back, that is, the direction of the water inlet, but what they didn't know was that everything from where they were to the barbed wire was shrouded in darkness.
Jackson, the missionary old man, and another gangster rushed forward, towards the mysterious man.
Because I couldn't see the way in the dark, I only ran two steps. Before I could see the light, a beggar, a gangster thug, fell into the dark river, making a splashing sound.
But at this time, that palpitating, weird voice sounded again.
