CHAPTER XXVII
It's nine o'clock at night.
On a seemingly ordinary night, it began to rain lightly, and people in the rain moved forward, some with umbrellas, some sheltered from the rain under the eaves, and traditional horseback riders shuttled through the city's high-rise buildings with the traffic.
A lady in a white lace hat looked up at the sky, and her blue eyes revealed panic, because she saw someone walking in the sky, along the rain curtain, step by step Eros.
It was obvious that Elos did not speed up his walking speed in the sky because of Schalter's escape, he steadily walked out of his rhythm, and slowly landed from a high altitude step by step.
The landing place was still on the Cisse River, and Eros stepped on the paved blue bricks and stones along the riverbank, observing the situation in the Cisse River.
Just now, in his field of vision, Scharlt rushed into the water from the sky wrapped in a black robe, and disappeared, and this short chase battle was also terminated by Scharte's falling into the water, and it did not continue.
Aylos did not rashly follow Schart into the water, whether from Dick's mouth or from the official documents, he told the strangeness of the underwater, and in the face of the unknown that he could not deal with, Aylos always maintained restraint and caution.
Walking along the guardrails carved in stone by the river, walking under the street lamps, Eros cautiously checked the river's water, the vast surface of the Cisse River, quiet and peaceful, this river flowing down from the top of the mountain, preserved many secrets from the past.
Like Eroth, there were many people walking along the riverbank, but because the raindrops were getting heavier, these people on the riverbank slowly moved away from the riverbank and walked in the direction of home.
Walking to the next street lamp, facing Eros walked a man with a black umbrella in his left hand, this person was not unusual, a normal leather trench coat, gray striped pants, and a pair of leather boots, but this person's right hand, carrying a lantern, scattered a dark green light.
"Passerby, can you borrow a fire?"
The man's face was covered under the umbrella, and the rain was falling down the surface of the umbrella little by little, and Eros couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman in the shadow of the umbrella.
"Sorry, no fire. ”
Eros was still concerned about Charlt's business, and didn't have time to pay attention to the strange man's request, so he just replied hastily.
"That's a pity, you may not find the person you're looking for. ”
This person's words made Eros react quickly, and the expression on his face when he looked at this person also changed a little.
"Are you borrowing fire to light a cigarette?"
"Of course. He had already taken out his cigarette case and smoked a cigarette.
With a slight flick of his fingers, the cigarette was lit, and the man in the leather trench coat exhaled a smoke ring in satisfaction.
"Shouldn't you introduce yourself first?" asked Eroth.
"My name is Richie, and I'm a paranormal detective. ”
"Is this a transcendent profession?"
"It's just a hobby. ”
"You just said you could help me find the person I'm looking for?"
"I didn't say that, I just can give you a little help, do you see any meaningful information from the current river?" Richie took another deep drag on his cigarette.
"Nope. ”
"Well, look at it again. ”
Richie lifted the green lantern in his hand over the fence of the river bank and fell to the edge of the river, the green light reflected in the water, and the dim halo gradually spread into a grand circle of light, illuminating a piece of river water along the river.
In this world illuminated by green light, the river, which was originally quiet and peaceful, began to show its true face.
In the river, there were a large number of floating black gossamer things, which looked like hair and some kind of irregular substance.
Following these black gossamer things, and then looking closer, you can see that there is a moving blur shadow below the river, and this green light can only shine a little bit of that blurred shadow, and Eros struggles to distinguish it for a while before he realizes that it is not a shadow, but a huge monster.
The total length of the monster was completely indetermineible to Eros based on the range of the light, and Eros could only see a trace of scarring that it had extended, and I don't know if it was its tentacles or fins or something like that, which had completely occupied the entire area.
Suppressing the troll's shock for a moment, Eros looked further away, the edge of the green light, and some of the more bizarre changes that emerged from the uncharted edge.
Between the ups and downs of the river, the faces of the human beings were sometimes clear and sometimes blurred, because the distance was relatively far, and the green light at the edge was indeed more blurry, and Eros could not see the expressions on the faces of these people clearly, but with common sense, this expression should not be very good-looking.
When Eroth had seen all this, Richie had finished one of his cigarettes, and he threw the end of his cigarette into the terrible and gloomy river, turned around, and continued to preach to Eroth.
"It's called fluid space, and the river is the hiding place for these holes in broken space. ”
If the space of the present world is damaged, holes will be created, and these holes will be connected to other lower or higher planes, allowing some bad things to come to the present world through the holes.
These broken holes will spontaneously produce a mobility effect, that is, these spatial holes will follow the moving objects in the present world, changing positions, these objects or natural phenomena locked by the spatial holes, can be wind, rolling stones, birds, clouds.
According to Rich, the river, called Cisse, carries a large number of spatial holes, which flow with the flow of the river, and constantly bring monsters into the world in the flow of the river.
"So you think Schart is hiding in these spatial holes?" Aelos said.
Although Richie didn't mention anything about Charlt, Ayros almost guessed that this man had found him because of Charlt's entry into the water.
"That's right. ”
"So how do I find him, or catch him?"
"You're trying to kill him. Richie stood a little closer to Eroth, the wide umbrella that kept them both in the middle.
The same can be said. Eros was holding a shotgun in one hand.
"There's no way, only he can go to that place, you can only come into contact with the river and the ensuing spiritual pollution, you can't go to the 'deep world' in the river at all"
"Then you didn't come here to tell me this. ”
"Of course not, since you can't get in at the main entrance, do you want to try the side door?"
Richie gently placed his green lantern on the ground, and pulled out a packet of unidentified objects wrapped in paper from his leather trench coat.
The paper ball is round, but I don't know what's inside.
"It's ......."
"Bait, you should have seen that big monster just now, it's a space swimming fish, if it weren't for this bait, it wouldn't have broken through the power of the water at all. ”
"That's a big man, what does this side door have to do with it?"
"Are you ready? ”
Richie opened the paper ball containing the bait, revealing a mass of sticky glue that had been mixed together, and it was impossible to tell what it was made of.
Eros didn't reply to Richie, he changed to a stranger look, staring at Richie, and the message in his eyes was, I'm ready.
"When I put the bait into the river, the space fish will jump out, and you can jump into the mouth of the space fish at this moment, and enter the flowing space to pursue Schalt. ”
"Is the risk manageable?"
"There's always a bit of a risk to this kind of thing, but I'll help you with this, and after you get into the mouth of the space swimming fish, you can carry this with you, so I can confirm your ......." Richie's words were not finished.
Eros was actually laughing out loud at the moment, he thought this man was still a little smart, but he didn't expect him to be so stupid.
"Do you think I'm going down?" asked Eros rhetorically.
Richie was stunned by this question, "Huh?"
I've told you so much about feelings all the way, you don't want to go down, don't you hate Charlt so much that you chased him to the ends of the earth?
"Okay, thank you for your science, and the next time you disguise yourself as a mysterious enthusiast, don't be so urgent. Eloth patted Richie on the shoulder, then turned and stepped into the rain without any fuss.
He had no interest in knowing why Richie was here, what his purpose was, what he had to do had already been done, and this was the last payment for Dick.
Since Charlt has fled to that kind of extremely vicious place, there is no reason for Elos to pursue it any longer, killing people is what he can do, exploring the mystery and unveiling the unknown is not something he can do.
Aloth had enough troubles, and the hell and mysteries were so tightly haunted that he could be crippled and insane if he touched these things again.
Before going to the casino building, there was already a mess inside, but no one reported the incident to the Inspectorate, so the crowd scattered and fled, and the screams mixed with the rain curtain, which seemed noisy and indistinct.
In the midst of the crowd, Elos quickly found his motorcycle, activated the fuel valve, and drove along Jotunling Avenue towards the bridge.
In the rain, Eros looked up at the stars in the sky.
Hey, it's been another tiring day!
