Chapter 35: Darkness Beneath the Light

After more than a dozen hours of "continuous rotation", the four arrived at the small hotel in the center of Bacchus at 8 p.m. Although it is said to be a hotel, it is actually a husband and wife who use half of their house as a guest room for an inn. Caitlin knows the trick very well, this kind of small hotel does not want to pay national taxes for its small business, so many registrations can be saved.

To facilitate surveillance and control, Caitlin booked a suite. As soon as Eric and Leondo entered the room, they all lay tired on the couch.

Eric couldn't help but grumble, "Can't we just take it easy!" Leonardo gasped as he spoke.

Chiko ignored the resentment of the two, and after looking out of the cat's eye in the door for a while, she took out a tissue and blocked the cat's eye.

Although Caitlyn is very skeptical of Chiko's qualifications as an agent, she is quite sure of her basic skills. She threw Chiko a bottle of water and said, "I'm so sorry to involve you." ”

Chiko said with a smile while unscrewing the water, "This is also my duty. After all, the purpose of my trip is to take care of this troublesome detective. ”

At this time, Leonardo breathed a sigh of relief, and said very dissatisfied: "Eric, I didn't expect you to be mixed with the agents now, don't you know that these people are all blood-sucking bats? ”

Eric thought that he had been beaten up because of Chiko's beauty, so he shot back indignantly: "I only love the tulips in the gentle country, not these thorny wild roses." ”

Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door. Chiko and Caitlyn glanced at each other, and each understood. Chiko walks up to the door, removes the tissue that stuffed the cat's eye, and looks out, while Caitlyn steps forward to stand in front of Leonardo and Eric. When Chiko saw Mrs. Rose, who ran the guesthouse, standing outside the door, she made an OK gesture to Caitlyn and opened the door with a hospitable smile.

Although Mrs. Ross in her thirties has an average appearance, she looks like a virtuous helper. Pushing a small food cart, she didn't look inside, didn't step into the door, but asked with a smile, "Do you need a special meal from our inn?" There are crepes, puff pastry onion soup, pineapple turkey, apple black blood sausage, mashed potato baked beef ground, and a large bottle of orange juice. ”

"Yours - the slippers are so exquisite. But Eric's eyes were firmly fixed on the feast in the dining car.

Chiko saw that the amount of food on the dining car was basically the amount of four people, and she could already feel the hungry eyes of Eric and Leonardo behind her, so she took it all in Mrs. Rose's smile.

Just as Eric and Leonardo pounced on the food truck like hungry wolves, Chiko suddenly had a plan, and she stepped in front of the food truck, blocking the two of them from foraging for food, and a malicious smile crossed her lips.

The obese Leonardo asked angrily, "What are you doing!"

"It's nothing, Professor Leonardo, I just want to discuss the next plan with you before the meal, you know, once a person eats, the blood will flow to the stomach, and the brain will be relatively ischemia, I'm afraid that you will forget something by then. ”

Hearing Qianzi's high-sounding explanation, Leonardo was slightly stunned, and then he was furious, and he shouted angrily: "You are taking advantage of people's danger, this is a threat, sure enough, all agents have the same blood, dark and evil, ......"

Chiko calmly looked at Leonardo's scolding, while Eric smiled brightly at Chiko: "Then I'll enjoy it first." As he spoke, he wanted to quickly cross Chiko.

Chiko had already seen through Eric's intentions, she grabbed Eric's shoulder with one hand, and gently pushed forward, and Eric staggered backwards.

"It's the same with you, since Professor Leonardo trusts you so much, do you want to casually live up to the trust of a genius scientist?" Chiko said pretending to be serious, but there was a little snickering in her heart, after all, she had a rare opportunity to be a rogue detective who was cleverly selling off all day.

"You!" Eric glared at Chiko with a look of resentment, and turned to Caitlyn for help. Although Caitlin thought that Chiko's little trick was very boring, and even had a little girlish willfulness and nonsense, it was a good idea, so she only smiled faintly at Eric and did not express any objections.

Leonardo pursed his lips stubbornly, trying to resist stubbornly, but thinking that his next action would not be able to get around the three annoying tails, he reluctantly spat out a location, "Bacchus Catacombs PX-0".

Hearing Leonardo's confession, all three were quite surprised. Bacchus, like Paris, was one of the first cities to invent the lighting system, and is also known as the "City of Light" because of the famous words of King Luke XIV, "The glory of my reign", but beneath the light lies one of the world's greatest darkness, a 200-mile-long underground tunnel. The tunnel was originally used as a quarry for Bacchus, but after a shocking smallpox epidemic broke out in Bacchus in 1418, the tunnel gradually became the final destination of 6 million people, and became an independent "empire of death".

During the meal, Chiko, who was not very familiar with Bacchus, asked a question: "According to you, this tunnel can be said to be a historical site of Bacchus, and you can hide things casually?"

At this time, a hungry Leonardo was feasting on a turkey leg, muttering and muttering that sounded indistinct. "Although the Bacchus government has a policy that you can't enter the tunnel illegally, because the route of the tunnel is so complex, and the government can only completely defend a few dozen miles at the moment, the remaining 100 miles are almost outside the law in the Bacchus area," Caitlin explained. ”

Leonardo swallowed a large piece of turkey meat, wiped his mouth and said: "I spent my teenage years in Bacchus, and I was very fond of this fascinating underground labyrinth, so I often went down to explore, it was not a violent and bloody place outside the law as she said, in my eyes, it was a paradise of freedom, although there were no rough waves, but like the pirates who were active in the 15th and 17th centuries in the Age of Discovery, free and unrestrained......"

Eric pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "The underground gutter full of dead people can be compared by you to the age of the sea voyage, whether you are a genius or a madman." ”

Leonardo let out a sneer, poured down a glass of orange juice, and said coloredly, "Garlic!" You didn't say that two years ago, you're quite obsessed with that underground labyrinth. ”

What the?

This suspicion does not come from Chiko and Caitlin, who knew from Leonardo's office that Eric and he had an extraordinary entanglement two years ago.

To their surprise, the suspicion came from Eric.
