Chapter 35: A Change in Dreams
The fire in the bar was fierce, and several explosions were heard from time to time in the raging fire, and the shops next to it were affected.
At first, only three fire engines came, and there was no effect on the fierce fire.
Sheriff Reis, who blocked the scene, knew that something was wrong, so he quickly notified the fire department, and urgently dispatched three additional fire trucks to rush over, so that the still growing fire was gradually contained.
"There is too much alcohol in it, and I heard that this bar has one of the top ten wine cellars in the city, so the fire is so fierce, it is estimated that it will take three hours to completely extinguish it. ”
Next to Sheriff Lacey is his deputy, Maggie, a shrewd and capable woman who reports to the sheriff about the notice she has received from the firefighters.
But the sheriff's mind was clearly not on it, just looking at the fire and yawning.
"Sheriff?"
Maggie is a little strange, this is not like the usually serious and responsible "Iron Mask Detective".
She continued: "There are a few witnesses over there, are you going to ask for questions......
"Let them go. Sheriff Lacey waved.
"Huh?" Maggie just thought she had misheard, and Sheriff Lacey told her to let the witnesses go?
"Let it go...... Let go?"
"Someone took over very quickly. Sheriff Lacey yawned and said, "Do you know whose property this bar is?"
Maggie shook her head, she had only been transferred from Gelug City for two months, and she was not so familiar with the jurisdiction she managed.
Sheriff Lacey was about to speak when his cell phone rang suddenly, and he walked to the side to pick it up, and hung up after a while.
"It's all over, it's just an accidental fire here, it's none of our business. ”
Sergeant Lacey waved his hand and headed for the police car.
Maggie didn't ask much this time, because she had just caught a glimpse of the caller number, and knew that it was the exclusive number of a big leader above the sheriff.
Combined with the sheriff's words, and the dozen or so cars that had been outside the bar before they arrived, it was clear that the background of this bar was very complicated.
At this time, in a luxurious manor on the southern outskirts of Thimphu City, a middle-aged man with short brown hair in a dark red nightgown stood on a balcony looking at the stars in the night sky, holding a mobile phone in his hand and talking to someone.
“...... Thank you for your help, Director Lawrence, and goodbye. ”
As the call ended, the smile on the man's face disappeared in an instant and became gloomy.
He turned around, and more than a dozen strong men in suits and leather shoes were standing quietly in the hall, standing straight like sculptures.
On the ground in the middle, a man soaked in blood fell motionless, with only occasional convulsions indicating signs of life.
The middle-aged man in the dark red nightgown is the real owner of the Shenglun Hospital, and he is also the boss of the underground forces in Thimphu City, Marcus.
Marcus's face was gloomy, and although the loss of the bar was huge, it was nothing to him who was wealthy.
He was more concerned that this incident would deal a huge blow to his prestige in Thimphu City.
For an underworld tyrant like him, a strong reputation is often more important than a little profit.
In fact, he has been plagued by similar troubles for a long time recently, and because of the difficulty of that trouble, which has not been solved, his position has shown signs of shaking, and some old people in the family have begun to have dissatisfaction.
Marcus could not tolerate similar troubles,
Even he can't let the police intervene, he has to solve it himself to show his strength and stabilize his position.
"Throw him down. Glancing at the bloody man on the ground, Marcus said coldly.
The two men in suits walked out without saying a word, grabbed the bloody man who still had a faint breath and carried him to the guardrail, and threw it directly down the hall on the first floor.
Crash!
In the center of the hall was a large circular pool, in which several large crocodiles suddenly burst out of the water, tearing the bloody people who were still in mid-air into several pieces.
For a while, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the entire space was filled with a strong smell of blood.
At the same time, in the Hara neighborhood, several witnesses who had just been let go by the police were caught again by a group of strong men before they had gone far, and they were escorted into a car with pale faces and drove towards the southern suburbs of Thimphu City.
............
A desolate and dead dream world.
Li Xing walked among the rocks, looking for traces of man-eating flowers or strange wolves.
Now he has quite a lot of experience in searching for man-eating flowers, and although they come in different forms, they all have the same way of hunting.
They all attract other beings by emitting some seductive messages, such as smells, sounds, etc., to attract the past to hunt.
And as Li Xing continued to strengthen, his perception became stronger and stronger, and he could already sense this special signal emitted by the man-eating flower at a long distance, so as to quickly find its location.
Now he's heading in the direction of a man-eating flower.
It didn't take long for a man-eating monster flower to appear in front of him, and the monster flower was out of disguise at this moment, and its hideous and terrifying mouth was munching on a mass of black minced meat.
The next moment, the head of the man-eating flower rose to the sky, and blue-black juice splattered everywhere.
For the current Li Xing, the man-eating flower has completely lost its threat, and it is really similar to ordinary flowers and plants on the side of the road.
The cool breath poured into his body, and his eyebrows were hot for a while.
Li Xing was stunned, because he suddenly "saw" that a black mark suddenly appeared at the center of his eyebrows, faintly scarlet.
It's a strange feeling, like an extra eye in the void, observing yourself in front of you.
"This mark...... What is it?" Li Xing rubbed it gently, but the tentacles were smooth, and he couldn't feel anything.
The properties panel in the line of sight automatically pops up.
"Strength: 2.1, Dexterity: 2.0, Constitution: 2.1"
Huh? Actually added 0.1 agility and constitution?
Li Xing looked at the attributes above and was stunned,
After having hunted so many man-eating flowers, he already has a very good understanding of the enhancement of the monster flowers.
Now that his average stat has reached two points, it stands to reason that a strange flower like this pot size needs at least ten to increase his stat by 0.1.
Why is today's enhancement effect suddenly so terrifying?
Just when he was wondering, Li Xing was attracted by another thing on the panel.
"Trait: The Root of Nothingness. ”
The moment he saw the root of nothingness, Li Xing's eyebrows burned, and the black mark faintly glowed with blood.
At the same time, a strange feeling emerged from the depths of his heart, like fear, like joy, and many mixed emotions were entangled, filling his heart.
In the dark, Li Xing faintly understood the root of all these changes.
He, recognized.
