At the same time as the gunshots rang out, there was a rush of footsteps at the staircase, and the people upstairs tried to help Yuposu after hearing the gunshots, perhaps because they were running so fast and so eager that they inadvertently bumped into the light switch on the staircase, so the semi-basement suddenly went dark.

"Ahh Who is it? ”

I don't know who touched Yuposov's body, and he shouted in fright. Then he stood still, afraid of stepping on the corpse in the dark.

"How?"

"Turn on the lights!"

At the shouting, the lights were pulled back again. The people who rushed over took the **** and ran towards Rasputin, who was lying on his back on the skin of a polar bear, and saw a red spot on his light-colored silk shirt, the wound was not large, and there was almost no blood. The conspirators bent down to look at Rasputin, he didn't seem to be out of breath, they wanted to make up for a shot, but for some reason, they didn't do anything, Rasputin, who was seriously injured, didn't open his eyes again, but in a few minutes, he was completely dead.

"Lazowell, you check!"

After Rasputin died, the prince said to the doctor, and Razowell hurriedly bent down to examine Rasputin's body.

"The bullet pierced the part of the heart, and there is no doubt that he died!"

Razovel's words only relieved the crowd, Rasputin died, and everyone became excited, and in congratulating Yuposov, each of them believed that what they had done today would save Russia from fall and disgrace.

According to the agreed plan, Lieutenant Sukhotin was to leave Yuposuv's house under the guise of Rasputin, wearing Rasputin's coat and hat, accompanied by the Prince and Dr. Razovel, and finally Rasputin's to be sent to the Warsaw station to be burned on the medical train of Priskovich, leaving Priskovich's car at the station and returning from the station to the prince's residence by horse-drawn carriage. From there, take the Prince's car back to the Moika River. The prince's car was going to transport Rasputin's body from Yuposov's house to Petrovsky Island, and this was the fulfillment of all plans.

"Lazovel, you were leaving. Drive better and better, and try to mess up the tracks left by the wheels, you know? ”

When the doctor and the others left, Yuposuv specially admonished.

"Don't worry. I've already tied a broom behind the wheel and it won't leave any traces! ”

After they left, there were only Prishkevich and Yuposuv in Yuposov's study, who waited for their friends to return. While talking and fantasizing about the future of Russia after getting rid of that demon monk, it seems that the future of Russia is good, at least they are convinced of it.

“…… I think that with the disappearance of Rasputin, Russia will start a new era, and we will have support from all sides, and the officials, after getting rid of this demon monk, will definitely work together to ensure that Russia wins this war! ”

"Isn't it? And that's just the first piece of good news. Now Grand Duchess Mikhail has gone to China. Soon, she will bring more aid to Russia, and even China may send his troops to Russia. And we've done our part! ”

Prishkevich said there with some excitement that at this time, in the middle of the night, they were fulfilling their duty to the tsar and Russia together, in fulfilling this responsibility. The two only felt a sense of mission for the future, and perhaps it was the sense of mission that made them persist until now. And successfully completed his mission.

Thinking of the mission that had been accomplished, Yuposuv felt only an inexplicable fear for some reason. Suddenly, like a madman, he ran downstairs to where Rasputin was lying. …,

"Yuri!"

Prishkevich also ran over, and when the two went down the stairs until the door was locked in the room, the door was opened, and Yuposuv was relieved to see that the killed Rasputin was still lying there.

"It's okay......"

"Yuri, he's dead, what, are you worried that the dead will run away?"

Ignoring Prishkovik's ridicule, Yuposuv walked towards the corpse instead, Rasputin on the ground did not move, but he touched the corpse and found that there was still some temperature on the corpse, Yuposov, who felt a little strange, hurriedly bent down to press his pulse, but there was no pulse response.

Rasputin is definitely dead!

Blood oozed from the wound and spilled onto the granite floor. Looking at the bloodstains, Yuposuv seemed to be a little uneasy, suddenly grabbed Rasputin's hands, shook them vigorously, lifted his body up, shook it to the side, and fell to the old place again, the body hanging its head and sideways, without a trace of life.

"Well, my friend, he's dead!"

Ignoring his friend's comfort, Yuposuv stood by Rasputin's body for a while, and as he was about to leave, suddenly his eyes were attracted by the slight throbbing of Rasputin's left eyelid.

"His eyelids are moving?"

"You must be dazzled!"

Bending down again, Yuposuv looked at Rasputin's face, which seemed to twitch and twitch as if it were not supposed to react, and it was getting worse and stronger, and suddenly, his left eye opened violently......

"Ahh

Yuposov, who was taken aback, looked at it, only to see that his right eye also jumped, and then it also opened! Two eyes! Rasputin's eyes were open, not blue, but green, like snake eyes, revealing a devilish ferocity, staring at him......

Yuposuv was completely frightened, he was dumbfounded, his muscles were stiff, he wanted to run, but his legs and feet could not move and there was no reaction, he wanted to shout, his voice seemed to be blocked by something. Yuposov, who seemed to be in a nightmare, stood there as if he had been nailed to the floor, and at that moment, something even more incredible happened.

Rasputin thrust violently and jumped up, foaming at the mouth of his mouth, looking extremely hideous, and from his throat came a crazy roar, and Yuposov, who was frightened, only saw that his finger flashed in the air...... Like iron pincers, he grabbed his shoulders and tried desperately to choke his throat, while Rasputin's eyes were crooked and almost popped out of his sockets.

"Yuposov! Yuposov! ……”

Rasputin, who came back from the dead, repeatedly shouted Yuposov's name in a low and hoarse voice and jammed his neck.

Yuposov, who was completely shrouded in fear, wanted to break free, but his hands were like iron tongs, clutching him tightly, and Prishkovik was also stupid, he looked at Rasputin in horror, how could this dying, poison-eroded, bullet-pierced corpse, be resurrected? The scene in front of him only reminded him of two words.

"Devil!"

Yes, only the devil can do that, only the devil can be resurrected!

Yuposov, who desperately wanted to break free from those hands, realized more deeply that the person in front of him was clearly the devil, but this devil possessed Rasputin, a hillbilly, standing in front of him, grabbing him with both hands, trying to strangle him!

"Ah......h

With the last trace of the car, Yuposuv finally broke free from Rasputin's hand, broke free from the clutches of the devil, and Rasputin sat down with a snoring as if he was tired, and he grabbed an epaulette torn from Yuposov's shoulder with one hand, Yuposuv glanced at Rasputin again, he was curled up and lying still, but then he began to squirm again. …,

"Prishkevich, quick, take a gun, shoot him, he's not dead......"

Yuposuv shouted loudly, he himself did not have a weapon, his gun was given to the prince, and Prishkevich, who was originally frightened, was shouted back to his soul by Yuposov's shouting, he touched his waist, and the gun was not carried.

"Guns, guns upstairs!"

When Yuposuv heard this, he hurriedly ran upstairs, and Prishkevich saw that the body was about to stand up again, and he also ran upstairs with him.

"Guns, where are the guns?"

Yuposuv shouted loudly, Prishkevich was also in a panic looking for the gun, and finally he found the **** at the desk, but the gun was in the holster, and he wanted to take the gun out, but he couldn't take it out for a while.

"Hurry up, shoot now!"

"I can't take it out!"

At that moment, there was a roar from the staircase, which Yuposuv didn't understand at all, as if it wasn't human language, at least Yuposuv didn't!

"He's coming up!"

Hearing the movement at the staircase, Yuposuv shouted, and then he saw the lead-covered rubber baton on the table that Makraków had given him just in case, and he picked it up and ran downstairs, while Rasputin was crawling from the basement to the stairs hand and foot, one by one, and he was snarling in a coarse voice that no one could understand, and at the same time he was snoring hoarsely, like a wounded beast.

"Ah......h

Just when Yuposuv shouted and ran towards Rasputin with a rubber baton, he saw Rasputin, who was originally crawling, bent over and jumped to the secret door leading to the courtyard, Yuposuv knew that the secret door had been locked and the key was taken away by others, so he did not chase it, but calmly held the lead rubber stick in his hand, ready to give Rasputin a fatal blow.

"Rasputin, you can't escape ......"

Just as Yuposuv said this, he saw an astonishing scene, the secret door that was obviously locked to prevent others from entering, but it was opened, Rasputin escaped, and then disappeared into the darkness...... (To be continued......)
