Chapter 409: The Great Earthquake
Coincidentally, the day after Silas and V arrived in the city, Dante and the others in the office also happened to return.
No way, although they went out to investigate the matter of the demon Bible, but they didn't get anything, the office didn't open for several days and it wasn't a thing, before Silas came to the human world when he opened the space crack, a lot of demons came out, although most of them were destroyed, but there are still scattered demons and monsters scattered all over the place, these scattered demons are still attacking humans, and they need demon hunters to clear them, if they don't open the door, the office won't be able to receive commissions.
After returning, Tracey and Letty made an appointment to go shopping together, leaving Dante, an old man, alone to go back to guard the office with no water or electricity, and the only thing that could give Dante a little comfort was that Tracey promised to bring Dante a strawberry sundae back......
Recommended, [Source Change Artifact APP] is really good, it's worth pretending, after all, there are many sources, all books, and fast updates!
Walking into the office, Dante looked at the dusty and dirty office and sighed, his stomach was also hungry, and he took the pizza box on the table, there were still two pizzas left in it, but the problem was a few days ago, and they all smelled rancid, Dante smelled it, and he was so disgusted that he had to throw it away.
Sitting down in his chair, Dante habitually crossed his feet to his desk, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly the door of the office was pushed open, and a shiny-skinned old black gentleman walked in.
"Morrison? Your nose is really smart, you came to the door as soon as I came back......" When Dante saw the old man, he was surprised and asked, "Is there anything good to find me?" ”
This old black man, Morrison, is the intelligence merchant who has been cooperating with Dante and them, it can be said that he has great powers, and he has connections with many witcher organizations in the underworld, and every time Morrison appears in the office, it means that there may be a commission to come to the door, which is definitely the most popular person for Dante, who has no money to pay electricity and water bills now.
Morrison smiled and said, "Just came back? By the way, where have you been these days? Little Lady Patty wants to invite you to her birthday ball, but she can't get in touch with you and calls me! ”
"Don't tease Morrison, you're a smart person, you don't know what I'm going to do, do you?" Dante spread his hands and said, he didn't believe Morrison didn't know what he was doing, and then he said a little helplessly: "As for Patty...... I really don't want to go......"
"Ha, who made you talk in the first place?" Morrison took off the hat on his head and laughed: "What do you say when she grows up and dates her, haven't you thought that some words will be remembered by women for a lifetime?" ”
"Okay, okay, don't mess with me, Morrison......" Dante surrendered, "What the hell is the matter with coming to me?" ”
Morrison sat down on a bench next to him and said, "It's a good thing, I got a prepaid job here......"
"Oh!?" Dante was immediately interested when he heard this: "Prepaid? I like this, I need to get water here and the toilet needs to be flushed......"
Indeed, now in Dante's office, there is not only a musty smell, but also a faint stench, which wafts out of the toilet......
Morrison stood up, took out an envelope from his pocket, gestured to Dante, and then threw it on the table to him, saying, "The water, electricity, and gas bills are all deducted from your share!" ”
Dante just picked up the envelope, and before he could open it, all of a sudden, the lights in the office suddenly turned on, the electric fan above his head also slowly turned, and there was a faint sound of water in the flush tank of the toilet bowl, especially the neon sign outside, the big "Devil May Cry" font, which also flashed twice and then completely lit up, as if at this moment, the whole office came to life at once.
"Oh......" Dante let out a long sigh, "I love this feeling......"
Morrison also nodded, took out a cigar from his pocket, lit it, and said, "Now, your office is reopened, so let's meet the client this time!" ”
Dante looked towards the gate, only to see that the door was slightly pushed open, and a black-haired man wearing a sleeveless leather jacket and tattoos on both arms flashed in silently, holding a cane in his right hand and a book of poetry in his left hand, and leaning against the wall by the door with his arms crossed.
Before Dante could ask, another figure emerged through the crack in the door.
When he saw this figure, Dante's eyes almost popped out, and he blurted out, "Silas!?" How could it be you!? ”
With the Scourge Spear at his waist and the Executioner's Scythe on his back, Silas came in looking around Dante's office and replied, "Do you think I'd like to be in front of you?" You're a dead ...... It's better to be there with Nero. ”
The muscles on Dante's face twitched, and he said with a headache: "Where did you learn the word 'inferior'?" ”
"Nicole!" Silas shrugged, jumped slightly, and sat down on Dante's desk.
Morrison glanced at Silas meaningfully, buttoned up his hat, and said to Dante, "Okay, I'll go find Tracey and Letty, and they'll have to go with them." ”
Hearing this, Dante didn't care about Silas, and hurriedly said to Morrison: "What!?" Please, with me here, do you think this can't be done? Can't you just let me save some money for my own house? ”
"This is a big case, Dante, you need some help......" Morrison opened the door and walked out, completely ignoring Dante's pleas.
After Morrison left, Dante said helplessly: "Okay Silas, tell me, what is it that makes you not stay at Nero's well, but come to entertain me?" ”
"It's not for you, I'm not that boring......" Silas knocked on Dante's table in dissatisfaction, looking up at V and motioning, "Let him talk to you." ”
"Okay......" Dante looked at V, who was holding his hands and reading a book, and said depressedly, "What's your name?" ”
Without answering Dante, V read out a line from the book of poems as he walked: "'I have no name; I'm only two days old.......'"
Not only Dante was speechless when he heard this, but even Silas was speechless for a while, although V had told him not to reveal his identity in front of Dante, but when he thought about it, V's words now are really appropriate, isn't he really only two days old since he was separated?
Dante couldn't help but look at Silas and asked, "Isn't your friend sick?"
Silas shrugged at him and didn't speak, but at this moment, V suddenly smiled and said, "Just kidding, you can call me ...... V."
Although he has been hanging by Silas for the past two days, V's condition is much better than at the beginning, at least his skin is still shiny at the moment, and he is no longer the same white and white appearance as he was at the beginning, although he still looks very thin, but at least he looks like a normal person.
"Well, V......" Dante leaned back into his chair and gestured with his hand, "You don't mind telling me about the case, do you?" ”
"One...... Powerful demons are about to awaken, and we need your help, Dante ......" V began.
Dante laughed a few times, got up from his chair, and went to the fridge to get some beer, and said, "That sounds familiar...... You know, I've heard this many times. ”
"This time...... It's a little different, Dante! V turned and faced Dante.
"Different? Well, what's the difference? Dante opened the cap of the beer bottle, tilted his head and took a sip, then sat back in the chair in front of him and asked in a relaxed tone.
"This demon represents your 'reason'......" V pointed at Dante: "Your 'reason' for fighting!" ”
"Oh?" After hearing V's words, Dante finally became a little interested and asked, "So, what is the name of this demon?" ”
After looking at Dante for a long time, V said a name in Dante's puzzled eyes: "Virgil!" ”
Hearing the name, Dante was stunned, then he slammed his hands on the desk, stood up from his chair, stared at V, and said, "What did you say?" Say it again! ”
"You heard you right, Dante!" V said calmly: "This demon who is going to wake up is called Virgil!" ”
"What the hell is going on!?" Dante frowned, at this moment, he swept away the decadent aura before and became awe-inspiring, which made Silas stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the previous decadent uncle to have such an amazing momentum.
Next, V didn't hide it from Dante, and told Dante about Virgil's transformation into a demon, but here, he hid things about himself, only saying that Virgil came back from the demon world, and took back the Enma knife from Nero, and became a real demon, and became powerful and terrifying, maybe it won't be long before he appears in front of the world.
Dante heard the expression on his face change back and forth, he never thought that he had only been away from Nero for a few days, and such a big thing had happened, and in the past few days, he had been looking for possible news about Virgil, and he had thought that he had really found nothing, but he never expected that things would take a huge turn in a blink of an eye.
"Is this true?" Dante looked at Silas, hoping to get confirmation from him.
"It's true, Nero's right wrist was broken...... Silas nodded, "It's what happened not long after you left, and I don't know what happened to Nero now...... I hope he's okay......"
"What about you? How do you and this...... V churned together? Dante asked, frowning.
Silas shrugged and said, "Don't look at me like that, I didn't take the opportunity to escape, anyway, Nero took me in for a while...... I wanted to get revenge on Nero, but the guy cut through the space with the Enma Knife, and I chased it in and found that I had run to a strange place, and finally met V, so I came back with him. ”
Silas wasn't lying, it was, but he also concealed that Virgil separated himself with the Enma Knife, and didn't reveal V's true identity, which he and V agreed on.
"Damn it!" After hearing this, Dante couldn't help but slam his fist on the table, and said in annoyance: "It's really troublesome now......"
Before Dante could decide what to do, suddenly, there was a tremor on the ground, not violent, but it continued to shake.
"Earthquake?" The three of them looked at the dust falling above their heads, and they couldn't help but have some doubts.
However, they soon found that this did not seem to be an earthquake in the ordinary sense, because this tremor has been continuous, for more than ten minutes, it has not stopped, and the amplitude of the tremor has been maintained at a relatively constant level, which is not the case with ordinary earthquakes.
"What the hell is going on?" Puzzled, the three of them left the room and walked out into the street, where it was already dark and no one was in sight on the street, but because of the continuous tremors, panicked cries could be heard from all over the human dwellings.
At this moment, there was a roar of a locomotive, and a cool motorcycle came speeding up, and stopped after a beautiful tail flick in front of the office, and after the car stopped, Tracey and Letty took off their helmets and walked over quickly, and as they walked, they shouted to Dante: "Oh Dante! Watch TV! ”
The five of them flocked back to the office, and Tracey and Letty saw that Silas and V were strangers, and they didn't have time to say hello, and as soon as they entered, they went straight to the location of the TV, and when they turned on the TV, they quickly tuned to the news channel.
In the TV, a news is being broadcast at this moment, in the picture, many people are fleeing in all directions in a panic, and the houses in the distance are also collapsing, but these are not the most important, the most important thing is that a huge black shadow in the distance is constantly drilling out of the ground, spreading arbitrarily towards the sky.
This was the real epicenter of the earthquake, and the city where Dante was located was nothing more than an aftershock......
Looking at the things in the news screen, everyone was confused: "This ...... What the hell is this!? ”
