Chapter 116: Claw Marks (Second Monthly Pass Recommendation)
Beckland Bridge area, Brave Bar.
Klein pressed the cap on his head, carefully protecting the purse in the inner pocket of the gray-blue worker's jacket, and bypassed the drinkers gathered around the boxing ring and headed straight for the bar.
On the way, he looked around and saw no sign of Caspars Khamlinen, a black-market arms dealer.
Either playing cards or billiards...... Klein nodded to himself, sat down at the bar, and said to the bartender:
"Half and half. ”
The last time he saw someone drink this alcoholic beverage, he felt that it should be quite to his taste.
At least more suitable than a simple malt beer...... Klein thought with comparison.
The bartender glanced up at him:
"What are the two flavors? Different prices are available. ”
"General, general. "The man Klein had seen last time was of the worst kind, and the whole cup of "half and half" was only two and a half pence.
"Four and a half pence. The bartender saw Klein line the brass-colored coins on the bar, and then turned back to mix, and said, "Caspers again? He's not here, his business has been robbed." ”
"Huh?" Klein didn't expect such an answer.
Before the bartender could answer, a man with a protruding mouth next to him laughed:
"Yes, Caspars was driven away by us!"
"Heh, how can he, a lame old man, do this kind of business?"
"If you have anything to want, just come to us, find our boss. ”
Klein subconsciously came up with the idea of rejecting the other party's proposal.
But soon, he thought of another possibility:
"Could this be that the Rose School deliberately found gangsters to suppress Caspers, so as to force Marich and Miss Sharon behind him and let them actively jump into the trap?"
Well, this probability is not low, Caspars has been a black market weapons dealer here for a long time, and it is definitely not something that others say can be driven away, some time ago, because of the continuous occurrence of serial murders, the atmosphere in the entire Beckland is quite tense, the Rose School, or other hidden forces, in short, are looking for those people like Marich and Miss Sharon, and they will definitely not dare to rashly kill people and get the answer- This will create a lot of blood, as they obviously only have some suspicions, and they can't confirm who has the means to contact Miss Sharon and Marich for the time being...... Crane swallowed back the words to his lips, and asked instead:
"Can I find out the price before I decide whether to buy it or not?"
He plans to observe the common people who have taken over the black market trade at the Brave Bar, and if he finds something wrong, he can use it to sell Caspass, Sharon, and Marić.
Anyway, Klein didn't want to have a conflict, he was just going to go through the normal process of review, so there was no question of taking risks.
"Yes, the only requirement is. The man raised his hand and made a zipper motion in front of his protruding mouth.
"No problem. As soon as Klein finished answering, he saw "half and half" placed in front of him, and copperpenny taken away by the bartender.
In the spirit of not wasting it, he took several sips, and his brows gradually gathered.
Not the taste I imagined, the alcohol was too heavy and the grape flavor was too light...... Klein put down his glass and followed the man to the third pool room, where Caspars had been staying.
When he was about to arrive at the door, he suddenly thought of another thing:
"As someone who doesn't know much information, I can guess that this is a trap, I don't know how long Miss Sharon and Marich have been hunted, they will definitely not come forward......"
However, Caspars knew more than one extraordinary, and he had contacts with several circles of extraordinary, and he might be looking for another helper, so things were a bit more complicated. ”
At this moment, the man with the protruding mouth stopped at the door of the billiard room, and a distracted Klein almost bumped into him.
He pointed inside:
"Wait a minute, don't talk nonsense, our boss doesn't have a good temper. ”
"The entire Beckland Bridge area is known to the Katong District"
"Good. Crane bowed his head slightly.
The man with the protruding mouth turned around in satisfaction and pushed open the door to the billiard room.
As the door opened, Klein saw a figure hanging in the air, swaying slightly.
It was a big man with a full beard, and he had a rope around his neck, and he was tightly and rigidly tight.
His feet were off the ground, the tip of his tongue was exposed, his face was bruised, and his expression was unusually distorted.
"Boss......" the man with his mouth bulging out shouted in disbelief.
As soon as the tension in Beckland disappeared, someone made a move...... Klein glanced sideways at the other party's subordinates, and drew a triangular emblem on his chest in a serious manner:
"May God give him rest. ”
"Hopefully, his temper will be cured by this. ”
The man with his mouth bulging didn't listen to what he was saying, and suddenly shouted:
"Boss!"
"Murder!"
"The boss is dead!"
Crane was shocked back by the loud and poignant sound two steps, and by the way, he turned on his spiritual vision and looked inside, but there was no special trace, only the billiard balls on the table were scattered in a messy manner.
What would the forces that had planted the trap react to what the Extraordinary Beings on Caspers' side did? If there was such a trap...... Klein quietly changed his position and blended into the crowd before several gangsters rushed over.
He glanced at the kitchen of the Brave's Bar, walked over thoughtfully, and expertly stooded through the back door.
As soon as he pushed open the not-so-heavy wooden door, Crane felt the cold wind that made him shiver.
And in this cold wind, there is a faint smell of blood.
He listened intently, but found no movement, so he took out a coin in the denomination of one penny and flicked it up.
Zheng's voice was drowned out by the wind, and Crane looked down at the bronze penny that landed in his palm, confirming that it was the king's head facing up.
Putting away the coin, he walked cautiously, slowly in the direction that the inspiration had told him.
He walked until he reached a gloomy corner, where there was no street lamp, and the smell of blood suddenly became stronger.
With the faint moonlight piercing through the clouds, Klein stared at it and almost gasped.
Bloody thighs, calves, feet in leather boots, ribs and human body "parts" such as hearts, arms, and eyeballs are scattered on the ground, and on the wall hangs a section of white intestines, with large patches of bright red in the background, mixed with milky white traces.
Seeing this scene, Klein was like seeing a slaughterhouse, a slaughterhouse specially prepared for humans.
"This is because I am afraid that the night watchman and the substitute punishment are too idle and exaggerated, and the police department must have transferred the case as soon as possible......," Klein muttered in his heart, in order to counter the discomfort caused by the scene.
He walked around the bloody area and approached the opposite wall, shocked to find that there were many deep scratches in the area.
It was like a mark dragged out by a thick, sharp claw!
It's similar to the giant claws of the demon dog before, is there another one? Isn't it dead? No, no, no, I know what's going on...... Klein suddenly:
The deceased was supposed to be the one who killed the gang boss in the bar, and he was dealt with by the forces that set the trap......
According to Little Sun's description, I have always suspected that the force is the "Rose School", because they hold the "prisoner" pathway, that is, the "xeno" path.
And one of the "xenomorphs" is a werewolf!
This is consistent with the traces of the scene.
It also proves that Miss Sharon and Marić are defectors from the "Rose School......
Klein calmly stepped back and exited the scene step by step.
In the process, he confirmed that no anomalous properties existed on site, and of course, it was possible that they had not yet been precipitated.
Then he turned and walked out into another street, intending to call the police, lest such a scene frighten the common people and make them suspect that some ferocious beast had infiltrated Bakeland.
- Motivated not to get involved in trouble for greed, Crane did not wait for the possible extraordinary characteristics to be revealed.
As soon as he reached the exit of the alley, he suddenly saw a brown carriage slowly approaching in the night.
The carriage didn't go straight over, like the rest of its kind, but stopped, and came to a halt in front of Klein!
Klein narrowed his eyes and prepared for battle, but neither the spiritual intuition of the "soothsayer" nor the premonition of battle of the "clown" gave warnings of danger.
At this moment, the window of the carriage was opened, revealing a pale face with a hint of madness, and brown eyes that seemed to hide deep malice.
Marić...... Klein recognized the other.
That's Marich who manipulates the living corpse, Miss Sharon's companion!
Wearing only a white shirt and black vest, Marić, who didn't seem to be afraid of the cold at all, pointed to the carriage and motioned for Klein to go up.
Klein hesitated for a moment, wanting to take down the pendulum on the spot and do a divination.
At this moment, a figure appeared behind Marić, wearing a complicated black court dress and a small soft hat of the same color, it was Miss Sharon with pale blonde hair and blue eyes.
If she wants to do something bad to me, she can do it easily, and she can get straight out of the wall behind me...... Klein thought for a moment, pretended to take two steps forward, opened the car door, and walked up.
When he was seated, the carriage moved slowly, not knowing where it was going.
"Why are you here?" asked Sharon, succinctly.
Klein calmly replied:
"I'd like to contact you and ask if there are any books on the occult, preferably in depth, you know, I'm lacking in that kind of knowledge. ”
Marić looked over with the same eyes that had always been maliciously, and said in a slightly hoarse and low voice:
"We do have a lot of occult knowledge, such as Karaman's Book of Secrets, but what can you get in exchange?"
Witch King? Which path and which sequence is this?Thoughts flashed, and Crane pondered his tone and said:
"I can exchange gold pounds for it. ”
"Or do you need something else?"
Sharon, who was pale but delicate-looking, looked at him and replied calmly:
"Help. ”
"In exchange for a favor. ”
