Chapter 25: Not the End
Before the words fell, the stabbing sword swept out like a snake, swift and deadly, the blade cutting through the air and erupting into a sharp whistling.
It's hard to imagine that body bursting with such power, and this time his target is Eve, who wants to get his lucky coin back.
The hallucinations interfered with Lorenzo, and for a moment he couldn't keep up with Sabo, and the girl just watched Sabo's arrival, and then raised the revolver in her hand.
It was a revolver called Death Knell, and the world was the same twist to Eve's eyes, but that didn't mean she was going to sit still.
The trigger was pulled, but the expected death knell did not sound.
Eve paused for a moment and then suddenly understood everything, she really wanted to scold Lorenzo, this person is really a scumbag, from the beginning there were only five bullets in this revolver, just like he took a ladder at Phoenix Manor, he used people's "common sense".
That's why he's so confident, because this bastard knew from the beginning that there were no bullets in the nest, what a bullshit gambler, and all of this was his deception.
The sharp bayonet sword came in a blink of an eye, the sharp sword gently grazed Eve's cheek with a whistling wind, Lady Luck did not favor anyone, and now Sabo's attack also failed to hit due to blood loss and hallucinations, and then the sharp staff sword pierced his body, breaking out of his chest from behind, like a spear of execution, nailing Sabo to the ground.
"Eve!
Lorenzo didn't seem to want to explain his terrible deception, but yelled.
Eve didn't know what Lorenzo was doing, but then she heard voices coming from all directions.
It was a flurry of pace, a dull sound of stepping on the stone bricks, and the whispering of heavenly moans filled the ear frames.
Looking at the fallen crowd under the high platform, they stood up strangely, they twisted to their feet in a way that humans would never have done, their eyes were oozing white, and they paced slowly in them like walking corpses.
"Is it a hallucination......
Eve's strong heart almost collapsed again, and under the effect of hallucinogens, she gradually lost the distinction between illusion and reality.
"I don't know, I just know it's time for us to go. ”
Lorenzo picked up his cigarette and sucked hard, the awakening herbs at work, and his vision began to clear.
"That'...... This person...... Lorenzo!"
Eve wanted to ask what to do with Sabo, after all, there were not many clues so far, but when she moved her gaze to Sabo, the body that was supposed to be dead moved again.
It was no longer the life force of a mortal, it was simply a strange scene that could appear in grotesque legends, and he saw that he grasped the blade of his sword, and lifted himself from the ground little by little, the blood had dried up, and only the white bones could be seen from the broken wound, and there were no screams of pain, only whimpering laughter.
"Death...... It's not the end. ”
Suddenly remembering what Sabo had said earlier, Lorenzo whispered.
"It's a coin!"
Eve apparently discovered something and exclaimed.
Sabo's strange body slowly stood up, holding his lucky coin in his broken hand, and then the hideous iron surface slowly cracked, and the pitch-black mouth swallowed the coin and palm alive, and the deranged canine teeth tore at the blood and bones, making a chilling sound.
"Yes...... Hallucinations?"
The girl clung to the sword and the spear, and this was the only way she could keep herself calm on the edge of madness.
"It doesn't matter. ”
Lorenzo said coldly.
It was a strange stalemate, but suddenly there was a louder roar, and the whole hall trembled with the sound, and the ornate chandelier shook violently, and the crystal structures collided with each other with a crisp sound, and then endless dust fell.
It was as if a giant was stomping on the ground, but then the sound rang out one after another, and then Eve could hear the sound of a cannonball exploding.
What's going on on the surface?
But before he could think of this, with the violent shock, the lights in the hall went on and off, and in this moment of light and out, Sabo's distorted body disappeared strangely.
It may have been that such a strange stimulus was too much, but Eve reluctantly calmed down.
"He's gone. ”
"I know. ”
Lorenzo's voice was calm, and at this moment there was an indescribable feeling in the great detective, and he stared at the place where Sabo had disappeared before, not knowing what he was thinking.
But then the endless footsteps rang out again, and at some point the dance floor was filled with guards armed with guns, each of them in a state of madness under the influence of hallucinogens.
It was the elevator, which used to be the dueling arena, and the gladiators prepared on the dance floor, the underground of the arena, and when the cheers started, they came up from the elevator underneath, and the guards were hidden underneath.
Waves of unevenness rose again and again, and the indiscriminate gunfire baptized the high platform with bullets.
He picked up his shotgun and fired at the painted glass behind him, shattering and shattering, and a small room appeared behind him, just as Lorenzo thought, where Sabo had been watching him before.
Flipping into it with Eve, the room was filled with strange feelings.
"Eve hold on here, we occupy the high ground and they can't come up for the time being. ”
Throwing his Winchester straight over, Lorenzo strode into the room.
"What are you going to do?"
Catching the shotgun, Eve realized that it was so heavy, and it was so light in Lorenzo's hands, it was hard to imagine how strong the detective's arms were.
"Clues, Saab didn't tell us enough. ”
The brass mask was a complex expression, and Lorenzo's demeanor was a little wrong after Sabo disappeared.
"After that, how are we going to get out?"
Eve shouted, she was still more concerned about how to leave, everything tonight was a huge shock to her psyche.
"Then it's up to you. ”
Lorenzo said lightly.
"Me?"
Eve couldn't figure out what this had to do with her.
Lorenzo looked back at the hall, where hallucinogens were permeating the place, and there was no contamination in the area, and Lorenzo's consciousness gradually became clear.
"I don't know exactly how many guards there are, and the surest way is not for us to kill them, but to call for someone else to save us. ”
Lorenzo said as he rummaged through the cabinets.
"So, a few hours before the operation, I gave a letter boy a silver coin and asked him to deliver a letter for me. ”
Looking up at Eve's confused face, Lorenzo continued.
"Actually, I know the location of this place, the lower city is so big, and the territory of each gang is fixed, so I wrote the location of this place and your name in the letter and handed it to Su Yalan Hall.
Think about it, an anonymous letter tells you that the princess of the Phoenix family is in the downtown area, and that she is also a police detective in Sualan Hall...... If I were a sheriff, I'd take all the Mounties and storm the Downtown, or the wrath of the Phoenix family would be waiting for him. ”
Everything is under control, and after learning Eve's true identity, Lorenzo is preparing this, as long as Eve is still by his side, Suaran Hall will save him from anything.
Lorenzo had been waiting for this moment when Suaran Hall attacked.
"And the truth of this matter is also easy to confirm, as long as Sualan Hall calls Phoenix Manor to ask if you are there. ”
Everything is so precise and seamless.
Eve shot the guard in the head, and the body fell down the stairs. After hearing all this, the girl suddenly fell into a trance, and then she scolded angrily.
"You're taking advantage of me!"
"It's a win-win!"
"Lorenzo, you're a scumbag!"
"And now only I'm a scumbag who can take you out alive!"
The staff slashed fiercely at the wall, unclear what kind of metal the blade was forged from, so slender and light and hard at the same time.
A secret door was forcibly broken open by Lorenzo's slash, revealing a dark corner that could barely be passed through.
"It's all over!"
Eve rolled in with her shotgun, and the girl was resentful, she hadn't cried in the face of the hellish sight before, but now she was in tears.
"They're going to stop me from being a police detective, all because of you!"
"Calm down, detective, do you think I didn't take you into account!"
Looking at Eve's stance, it seemed that she would fire at Lorenzo in the next second, and now Lorenzo was a little remorseful for giving her the gun.
"As long as they can't catch you, it's all not true! It's just an anonymous letter, it doesn't have any credibility, as long as you don't get caught, no one knows you're here, that letter has no effect!"
"You said you could confirm it with a phone call!"
"yes, but that only confirms that you're not at Phoenix Manor, you can be anywhere tonight, just can't be here!"
Even if there are many suspicions tonight, but with Eve's identity, Su Yalan Hall can only suffer a dumb loss.
Lorenzo said and grabbed Eve's skirt and tore it open, there was no fragrant scene, tight casual clothes and weapons appeared under it, like magic, and the princess who had just been delicate turned into an iron-blooded Valkyrie in an instant.
"Kill or chop and wait for us to go out, okay? You don't want the next day's Queen's Daily News to be about the death of the Phoenix princess in the lower town!"
Lorenzo said as he snatched the shotgun from Eve's hand, pulled the trigger, and the guards on the high platform fell to the ground, but even so, the bodies were still writhing, and under the effect of hallucinogens, the group was faced with a view that Lorenzo did not understand.
I don't feel pain, I'm driven by pure desire.
In an instant, there seemed to be a thunderbolt rushing through Lorenzo's body, it was a chill from the bottom of his heart, like a biological instinct, those nerves were beating on Lorenzo's brain to warn him of what was next, and he saw it.
It seemed that thousands of crows fluttered and echoed in the small hall, and the miserable crows gathered together, and the high and low crows actually built up an obscure murmur, as if some ancient being had spoken this vicious curse through the mouth of the crows.
All the light disappeared in an instant, and there was darkness in his vision, and the sudden arrival of the night reminded Lorenzo of his own vision, and it was the same there, the light faded and darkness enveloped everything.
Without the slightest hesitation, he pushed Eve through the secret door and Lorenzo followed, and at the same time, the muzzle of the shotgun burst out with dazzling fire, which was the only light source in the night, only a momentary point, but it reflected the hideous corner of the darkness.
With whispers of disgust, countless blood-stained hands reached out from the edge of the platform, joints twisted and deformed to lift the bloated body up in a way that was hard to describe, and at first glance it looked like a huge, deformed ball of flesh that pushed hundreds of people into the meat grinder and put them together with their broken bodies.
The light vanished, and the moment the door was shut, a thrust came from behind the door, a numbing sound, a sharp whisper that cut through the eardrums, as if countless fingernails were scratching at the door.
"That's ...... What ......"
The girl's voice in the darkness seemed to be frightened, and Lorenzo remained calm, but it was more appropriate to describe it as skillful than calm, he knew all this too well, and even knew what was going to happen next.
"Is it a hallucination?"
Eve's voice was terrified, and it was Lorenzo's cold voice that answered her.
"Hallucinations act directly on our minds, so in essence we don't see the same illusions. ”
Can't see the same vision......
The girl seemed to understand something, and her voice became trembling.
"You mean...... Is that true?"
Illusion and reality overlapped in everything, and the nightmare of ancient legends came to life tonight.
Lorenzo didn't answer Eve's question, instead whispering what Sabo had said.
"It's something that can't be touched, it's incomprehensible, it's something that can't be looked at. ”
Pulling the trigger, the shotgun's fire once again illuminated the dark secret passage, the bullet left dozens of bullet holes in the iron door, blood gushing out of the hot bullet holes, and between the cracks in the iron door, flesh tried to squeeze into it, it was a slender tentacle, slowly shaking like hair with the flow of air.
"Either the person in question dies...... Either crazy ......"
Lorenzo's whisper turned to a roar as he pulled Eve up and rushed into the depths of the secret passage, and then the iron door cracked, and a red tide of blood poured from it with a foul smell of blood and wails.
