Chapter 44: Removing the Disguise

The Bacchus Underground Tunnel, also known as the Catacombs, is home to the bones of 6 million people. However, due to the division of classes, the treatment of these people after death is very different. The place where Eric and his party arrived clearly belonged to the civilian class, with no tombstones, no coffins, and broken bones everywhere.

"Well, guys, stay vigilant, this is not only a favorite for urban adventures, but also a playground for drug dealers, black market dealers, and fugitives. Leonardo pointed in the direction of travel with his light.

Eric reluctantly followed behind Leonardo, in fact, he preferred to stay behind Chiko. He asked Leonardo, "Old fellow, how did you know about this route?" ”

Leonardo recalls as he took everyone around the tunnel: "As a teenager, I joined a social group in Paris about alchemists, which studied the history of alchemists in Europe. At one of the events, I stumbled upon a map that was the route map of the Paris tunnel. ”

At this moment, Caitlyn suddenly made a silent gesture to the three of them. Chiko immediately looked in the direction Caitlyn had signaled, but found nothing unusual. Caitlyn pointed to her nose and motioned for the three of them to take a closer sniff. However, even Chiko, the only sensitive of the three, didn't smell anything special.

Just when the three of them didn't react, Leonardo suddenly crashed into Eric behind him, stumbling forward, and shouted urgently: "It's me, it's me-"

Chiko and Caitlin knew that something was wrong, and immediately flanked Leonardo back and forth. Chiko didn't care about Eric, who was knocked to the ground, and stepped over his body with one foot, grabbing Leonardo's shoulder from behind. Caitlin stepped forward and kicked him to the right knee. Under the combined attack of the two, Leonardo could only kneel on the ground and obediently restrain his hands.

Caitlyn pulled out the pistol hidden at her waist and aimed it at the shadow in front of her, firing two shots in quick succession. Only two empty gunshots were heard, and the two bullets fell to the ground with a clanging sound of landing less than a meter away.

"Empty bullets!"

Chiko followed suit with two shots, still two empty rounds.

Leonardo seemed to grasp at a lifeline, struggling and shouting, "Their bullets are empty!

"Shut up!" Caitlyn kicked Leonardo in the stomach.

"Let him go!" At this moment, five black-robed figures suddenly flashed in front of them, and this voice seemed familiar.

The five figures gradually approached, and under the light of the flashlight, their true faces were gradually revealed. Sure enough, two of them were the landlords of the small family hotel they had stayed at yesterday, Mrs. Rose and her husband.

"It's you!" Caitlyn sneered.

"How did you find out?" asked Mrs. Ross with a smile.

"Of course it's the smell, Ruth," Leonardo grumbled dissatisfiedly, "damn it, why can't you fix your stinking problem!"

"Damn, you already know that family, and she's not Mrs. Rose!" Chiko slapped Leonardo on the back of the head.

Ruth, who was in the lead, didn't seem to mind Leonardo being bullied, she still said calmly: "Okay, it's useless to talk more, let's talk about a deal, you let him go, I let you go." As he spoke, the other four black-robed men raised their four black hole pistols and aimed them at the three Erics.

Chiko and Caitlyn glanced at each other, neither of them could make up their minds, Leonardo was now the only bargaining chip in their hands, and they could not guarantee that they would get out of here alive if they let Leonardo go.

"This deal is very good, but this old guy is so valuable, one person's life can be worth the lives of three of us. Eric agreed very casually.

"You!" Although Chiko was very annoyed by Eric's arbitrary decision, there was really nothing to be done in front of him. The three of them could only hold Leonardo hostage and retreat to the corner of the tunnel, then knock him unconscious with a punch, and then kick him towards the group of black-robed men, and then turn and run.

After twelve minutes, Eric sat on the ground and gasped for air. Catelyn and Chiko were relieved to find that Ruth hadn't caught up with the group of black-robed men.

"Hey, Holmes disciple, what's next, you're being calculated to run away now," Chiko sneered angrily.

Eric gasped and retorted, "What, what a calculation, are we being calculated? Didn't I keep telling you to stop running!" and with that, Eric pulled out a screen from his pocket, which flashed with a small red dot and was gradually moving away from them.

"It's-" Chiko stared at the screen in Eric's hand in surprise.

"Looks like you've already had a contingency plan in place. Caitlyn said with a smile, explaining to Chiko in turn, "After escaping from GLP Mansion, I got in touch with Bacchus' resident team, and Eric asked for a portable tracker. I think Eric secretly installed it when he was helping Leonardo untie the rope. ”

"You've long suspected that Leonardo has a problem?" Chiko asked Eric.

"I still don't understand what their ultimate goal is, but one thing is for sure, their prey is not Leonardo, but Leonardo has become our bait. Eric had already faintly painted the truth in his mind, but it was still only an impression of Monet. But for the truth, this is far from enough.

"And what's next?" asked Caitlyn.

"Keep up!" Eric shook the screen in his hand.

"You want us to play with four pistols with our bare hands? I think we'll have to get out first, and then Caitlyn will call for backup. Chiko did not hesitate to veto Eric's remedy.

However, Caitlin was as partial as ever to Eric. Chiko had no choice but to follow the two of them to chase in the direction of Leonardo by leaning on the tracking screen. Along the way, Caitlin was puzzled, this family hotel was chosen by her at random, not intentionally, so how Leonardo arranged his own personnel in advance in the ten hours before they arrived. Also, where does a bad old man who has been watched for more than 20 years have the ability to arrange and plan all this?
