Chapter 122: Light and Shadow (Part I) (3/4)

From the moment he found the hoof prints leading to the bedroom area, Lawson had a vague feeling that the Shadow Demon was nearby, and he was mentally prepared, but when he actually found the Shadow Demon, he was still surprised.

Anne said that the Shadow Fiend is extremely fast, far beyond the limits of normal human reactions, and is good at hiding his body through the use of light and shadow changes. The best response is to step back and distance yourself and look for a corner as a defensive position. ’

Veronica said that when dormant, the five senses of the Shadow Fiend become quite dull, and this is the best time to sneak attack! ’

'The bedroom was very dark, flashbangs, yes, with flashbangs!' ’

'Damn, Petain is right behind me, this guy is a big drag!' ’

In an instant, Rosen's adrenaline soared, and his whole body was in a state of combat readiness, and he slowly retreated, and as he retreated, he motioned with his eyes for Petain to retreat.

When Petain saw Rosen gesturing at him, he couldn't understand Rosen's intentions, and he asked suspiciously, "Doctor Pasteur, what's the matter?" ”

With these words, Rosen immediately felt an unusual noise coming from the cabinet under the bed, and the shadow demon became suspicious.

"Oh, shit!"

Lawson cursed in his heart, he knew that at this time, any hesitation was fatal, and the only fighting element with the Shadow Demon was to be fast!

He jerked back and slammed Petain into the office area where his desk was, and at the same time, with his left hand, he pulled off the flashbang tab and threw it into the bedroom with a little force.

'Snort~~Sneer~~~'

In the flashbang, aluminum powder, magnesium powder, strong oxidant sodium nitrate, and rosin were mixed together, and began to burn violently, producing a terrifying high temperature, and at the same time, there was a thin white glow.

"Ah, it's so bright, is this the Holy Light!?" Young Master Petain subconsciously shouted.

"Ah~~~~~h

At the same time, there was a piercing scream in the bedroom, as if someone was scraping the glass back and forth with an iron needle, which made people feel sick to hear.

Pétain couldn't resist it, and rolled left and right on the ground with his ears covered.

Rosen gritted his teeth and held back. If he wanted to change before, he would definitely not be able to stop it, but now, he is an undead physique, and his body is a little stronger than before, although it is uncomfortable, he can barely bear it.

He squinted his eyes and held the musket grinder, muzzle aimed at the wooden bed, just waiting for the Shadow Fiend to appear.

After about half a second, Rosen saw a blurry black shadow appear from the right side of the large bed, it was surprisingly fast, and even though the room was shrouded in blazing white light, its figure still looked faint, as if a fog was shrouded around its body.

Rosen had been mentally prepared, but when it came to the end, he still couldn't react.

At the critical moment, he could only barely aim at the approximate range where the black shadow was, and pulled the trigger again and again.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

A total of 12 silver alloy split warheads were installed in the meat grinder muskets, and at such a life-and-death juncture, Rosen had no idea of saving ammunition at all, just firing as fast as possible.

During the first four shots, the vague black shadow kept dodging left and right, until the fifth shot, its body slammed, and it let out a piercing scream of 'ah~~~~~' in its throat again.

The scream was even more piercing than the previous one, and the sound wave was like a solid steel needle, constantly piercing Rosen's ear.

Lawson's vision was blurred for a moment, and the only thing he could do was to keep retreating, until he reached the corner, and at the same time kept shooting in front of him, not trying to hit the opponent, just to make the opponent scruple and not dare to attack without permission.

Vaguely, he saw the black shadow slam towards the wooden screen on the side, smashing the wooden screen into pieces, shattering the glass window, and jumping out of the window.

As soon as the black shadow jumped out, the screams suddenly weakened.

Lawson endured the discomfort of his body, pulled his legs and chased to the window, and saw a faint black shadow outside the window running wildly on the grassy slope of the yard at an incredible speed, but in half a second, he left the yard and ran into a remote alley outside, and after a few seconds, it disappeared completely.

The speed was so fast that Lawson didn't dare to chase it, and he couldn't catch up.

He felt a sharp pain in his ears, the blue tendons on his forehead jumped suddenly, his vision was still blurry, and his stomach was even more nauseous.

He had to sit down with his back against the wall and rest for more than three minutes before all the uncomfortable symptoms disappeared one by one. He sniffed the air and noticed a pungent smell in the air, similar to sulfur and blood.

He looked at the ground and saw a large amount of yellow-red liquid dripping from the floor, especially on the floor of the bedroom, which seemed to have knocked over a basin of water. And in this liquid, there are many things that are almost the same as minced meat.

'My fifth bullet must have hit the Shadow Fiend, and judging by the blood, that guy should have been wounded. ’

He turned his head to see the young master of Petain, who was behind him, and saw him lying motionless on the ground, as if he were dead.

'Don't let this guy die, or he'll be in big trouble.' ’

He reached out and probed Petain's snort and heartbeat, but fortunately they were there, and when he looked closely, he found that the guy's eyes were slightly open, and his eyes were still moving, and he didn't seem to have lost consciousness.

"Hey~ How are you?" Rosen slapped Petain's face vigorously.

"Pain...... Headache! Petain's voice was soft, but clear.

Rosen breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and pulled Petain off the floor, put him on the bed in the bedroom, and waited patiently.

After several minutes, Pétain coughed violently, spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and came to his senses.

He looked at Rosen with apprehension and asked weakly, "Doctor Pasteur, is that the devil?" ”

Rosen nodded: "That's right. ”

"How's it doing now? Did you kill me? Pétain asked again.

Rosen shook his head: "It was injured by me and ran away." It was as fast as it was flying, and I didn't catch up. ”

Pétain breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "Doctor Pasteur, it's good that you are here, otherwise I would have died today...... Woo woo woo ~ God, there is a devil hidden in my house, and he is colluding with the magician to harm me together, God...... Woowoo"

He was a big man, and when he talked about it, he cried like a child.

Rosen didn't know how to comfort him, and all kinds of thoughts came to his mind.

'Shadow Fiend ran away, but he was not lightly injured, and with Anne's skills, he should be able to track it down. But what about the magician? ’

'That magician must be nearby, the battle just now was so big, he will be back soon, what should I do when the time comes?' ’

At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of 'knock knock' footsteps in the staircase, and at the same time, a rough voice came: "Young Master Petain, I'm Fairman, the captain of the city guard, are you okay?" ”

Feyerman?

Rosen was slightly stunned, isn't this guy the captain of the bridgehead garrison? When did it become a city guard?

As soon as the thought fell, Rosen saw four or five soldiers dressed as city guards appear at the door of the bedroom, and the leader was the steel-armored soldier Fairman who he saw at the bridgehead that day.

He stood at the door of the bedroom and said humbly: "Young Master Petain, I passed by the door while I was on patrol, and I heard a terrible scream coming from the house, so I rushed to check it out. Are you alright? ”

Petain had recovered a lot, and he waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, go back." ”

Although the devil's matter is serious, it is a family ugly, and he doesn't want more people to know about it.

A civilian warrior like Fairman naturally couldn't afford to provoke the Marquis of Pétain, and seeing that he seemed unwilling to let him interfere, he bowed slightly and prepared to leave.

Looking at Fellman, Rosen's heart moved slightly, and he had an idea to deal with the magician Brown.

He shouted: "Warrior, wait! ”

"What's the matter?" Fellman turned to look at Rosen.

Rosen whispered in Pétain's ear, "Master Pétain, with all due respect, I found something strange just now when I was investigating the magician's room. This convinces me that the magician is most likely involved in a serious homicide. You see if it's ......"

Pétain was stunned and asked, "What homicide?" ”

"Countess Adele was assassinated, and I found Countess Adele's moon wand in the magician's bedside table."

"Hiss~~" Petain gasped, and then became angry: "Okay, you Brown, I won't talk about harboring the devil to assassinate me, and even assassinate the countess for a small wand." How can my Pétain family tolerate such scum! ”

He was a prostitute, he contracted syphilis, although it was not a good thing, but he gave money, everyone had a good time, they got together and dispersed, and at most they were infamous for being lascivious, but they did not violate the law, but what Brown did was murder, or murder of a countess, this matter was serious, so serious that he could not bear the prestige of the Marquis of Petain, and he had to give an explanation.
