I'm looking for salvation in hell, but is that salvation really in heaven?

I watched the sparks jump and change, and I asked, "Friend, why are you looking for those two people?" ”

"I actually went out with them, but we were separated on the way," Lamia said. ”

I said, "It's not wise to take the elderly and children on the road. ”

"When we first left the Black Coffin, we had a whole team of guards. ”

"What about the rest?"

Lamia replied, "All dead." ”

Instead, I perked up and said, "Not even the Rangers have been able to save their lives in the Age of Sorrow, and I have been living alone for months. I believe I can do the job of the Ranger. ”

Lamia frowned, which made me secretly frightened, knowing that I had said the wrong thing, and she said, "It's bad luck, it's bad weather." ”

I hurriedly said, "I'm lucky because I met you, friend." ”

Lamia smiled and turned her head to look at the night. I've seen ancient maps, and the place we are in is called San Francisco, and the sign says it's called Pacifica. It was once a thriving place, densely populated, with a never-ending flow of traffic on the streets, and even in the middle of the night, the lights that never went off were as starry as the sky.

But it's all gone.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps walking down the corridor and approaching us. I immediately extinguished the fire, Lamia put on her helmet and goggles, and the sound of staccato footsteps was staccato. Lamia whispered, "It's a robber." ”

I said, "They have found us." ”

Lamia said, "What fire did you make?" ”

I couldn't argue that I really shouldn't start a fire, especially when the situation around me was unknown, I was carried away by the excitement, but how did I know there were robbers here?

The robber shouted: "Come out, come out, we are all civilized people, and we will entertain you well." ”

And he shouted: "Little lamb, little cutie, what do you lack, what do we give, there is no kinder and better person in the world than us!" ”

They giggled and laughed, not like they were friendly.

Lamia threw a ball, which rolled with a clang, and suddenly exploded, and the robbers screamed in fear, and some fell to the ground. The robber shouted: "Find cover!" Bunker! It's fucking ruthless! Lamia took the opportunity to fire a few shots and knocked out two more people.

She said, "Fifteen people in total! ”

I whispered, "My gun can't hit that far, and it's out of bullets." ”

Lamia said, "I don't need you. ”

At this time, the robbers strafed and smashed the grid into pieces in an instant, such ferocious fire, where did they find these good guns? Isn't this an office building?

Lamia gestured to me and we retreated, during which she turned around and shot the two of them down. The enemy returned fire, and I saw Lamia shake and grunt, but it didn't stop her from running. We were supposed to go downstairs, but through the window, I caught a glimpse of demons appearing downstairs, including a demon with bright red horns, three meters tall. They were attracted by the sound of gunfire?

It's unlucky, it's not the right time, it's still a little bit away from dawn.

I pointed downstairs and gestured to the devil's horns, and Lamia understood, and she said, "Run upstairs!" ”

The robbers couldn't see us, and we ran towards the stairs, and all of a sudden, I pressed Lamia's head and crouched down at the same time, and then, the glass above my head crackled and shattered, and the horned demon's head poked out, and I looked left and right, but thankfully I didn't notice that we were under its head.

It breathed heavily, and I could smell the fishy smell in its mouth.

The bandits shot at this moment and hit the demon, the demon roared, its head retracted, I looked out the window carefully, the bright red demon clinging to the wall with both hands, approaching the robbers, and three other white demons also quickly climbed the wall.

I said, "Go downstairs?" "Downstairs should be safe.

Lamia gritted her teeth and said, "No, go upstairs." ”

We ran up to the ground floor and found an office to hide. When I saw that Lamia was bleeding from her left arm, she said, "The bullet went through and didn't stay inside, you bandaged me." ”

She handed me a roll of bandages, a shot of medicine, and I bandaged her properly. "It can be healed in an hour," she said. ”

I asked, "So fast?" Is it the effect of this potion? ”

She nodded, her eyes as sharp as a knife.

I said, "The robber will be killed by the demon, and then the demon will leave, and we can also take advantage of the opportunity to escape, the sooner the better." ”

"I've never failed," she said. ”

I said, "That's nothing, as long as you stay alive..."

She said: "This is a stronghold of the robbers, and when the demons come, they will definitely hide in their hiding places, and when the day comes, the rest of the robbers will appear." With a wolf-like expression, she said, "Kill them all." ”

I couldn't dissuade her, and she didn't speak anymore, she threw her head up, her head against the wall, breathing heavily, the sweat of her cheeks running down her slender neck, and I couldn't see the pain on her face, I couldn't see the retreat.

I whispered:

"What about losing the war?

We are not completely defeated,

The indomitable will,

The eagerness for vengeance,

The immortal hatred,

The courage to never surrender or surrender,

Besides, what else has not been conquered?

It is a glory that not even the wrath of God can take away from me. ”

Lamia opened her eyes to me and said, "John Milton's Paradise Lost." ”

I said, "I don't know where this comes from, but my adoptive father always said it." ”

She said, "Thank you, this poem is very appropriate, and I am much more energetic now." ”

Half an hour later, the day dawned, and the demons were about to return, but the wicked would still walk the world.

Lamia said, "Stay here and don't move." ”

I replied, "I have my own way of doing things." ”

Lamia said, "Whatever you want." ”

She walked out of the room like a ghost.

I drank a potion, known as the Eye of Odin, and my senses were magnified many times, which gave me insight into the distribution of enemies in the building.

I applied another ointment to the dagger: it was called the blood of the viper, and it was so poisonous that even demons could kill it.

I took out another bottle of potion, it was my handiwork, I called it "Amun's Water", Amun did not know what the god of the sun was, but at night, he would be invisible. When I drank it, a cold eroded my stomach, and everyone I knew would have diarrhea until they died.

But I'm an exception.

I began to sweat, but not ordinary sweat, but a kind of elixir secreted, and I was gone, completely transparent, even my clothes were soaked with the potion and invisible.

I got ready and walked outside. I noticed that Lamia had already encountered the robbers, there were eight enemies, and they were on the second floor, and her side seemed to be going well.

I went up to the top floor, where the decoration of this floor, which used to be luxurious, is now more dilapidated than the bottom, as the saying goes, "The road is simple." "The simpler things are, the easier they are to keep.

It was a director's office, and an attic, where six robbers were divided into two and guarded the entrances.

I turned the dagger and stabbed two to death. The others screamed in panic, but they couldn't see me, I sprinted quickly, and stabbed a dagger at the robber who was in her way, she seemed to see the slightest reflection and flinched back, but my dagger still grazed her face, so don't worry about it, she will soon die.

When she fell to the ground and convulsed, I stabbed the foreheads of the two male thieves. One of the remaining people shot indiscriminately and almost hit me, but like fighting mosquitoes in a black room, the opportunity was fleeting, and I stabbed him in the back and ended him up.

In the attic was the leader of the robbers, a muscular tough man, who was so nervous that at the slightest stir he sent a shuttle to the ground, so that all the surrounding glass was shattered, and I threw the dagger and pierced him in the eye socket, and he shook it, and the poison got into his brain, and he died.

The effects of all three drugs faded almost simultaneously, and it seemed that the effects of each other were canceled out. I started vomiting blood, but it was better to vomit blood than to die, and it was better to vomit blood than to stay in hell and not be able to enter the skyscrapers, to heaven.

Lamia appeared at the door of the attic, I looked at her, she looked at me.

After a moment, she smiled and whispered:

"Tiger, tiger, your eyes are like torches,

In the jungle of the night,

What immortal hands and eyes,

Can you shape your horrible, well-proportioned body? ”

I asked, "Who wrote this poem?" ”

"I heard it was William Blake, a poet hundreds of years ago," Lamia said. ”

I picked up the robber's gun and smashed open a secret door with the hilt, and inside were the old man and the child, both alive, the old man was terrified, and the girl.... But it's not a girl.

I hadn't looked at her when we met before, but now I noticed something strange about her, her face was 70% metal, except for a small piece of her right eye, and her eyes were clear. The same is true of her body, her right hand is still intact, but her left arm is silvery-black metal.

What the hell is she?

Lamia ripped the seal from the old man's mouth, and the old man shouted, "For the consul's sake, Lamia, you're finally here!" ”

Lamia said: "Lao Wei, you are really lucky, when you go back, you should go and buy lottery tickets." You have to know how unlikely you are to survive. ”

Lao Wei said: "Go to those profiteers in the black coffin to buy lottery tickets? Isn't that a waste of money? He laughed, but the "girl" remained silent.

Lamia and I loosened the bonds for them, and Lao Wei said: "I said to them: 'I am an important person in the black coffin. As soon as they heard that I was in a black coffin, they wanted a ransom. They were even afraid that I would starve to death, so they gave me some rations. But the rations were terrible, and I suspect they were made of dog meat. ”

I touched the dog meat in my bag and sighed slightly.

I cleared my throat and said, "Mr. Wei, my name is Fishbone." ”

I don't know what Lao Wei's position is, if he is higher than Lamia, I don't see it, but if he is very low, Lamia doesn't have to rush to the rescue.

If it is the former, I will not only flatter Lamia, but also saddle him before and after.

If it is the latter, I will still flatter Lamia, but I will not offend this person.

All in all, I need to look at people's faces right now.

Lao Wei smiled: "This name is really weird, what the hell is a fish bone?" ”

Lamia said, "Fishbones killed half of the robbers, and I killed the other half, and he found you where you are." ”

Lao Wei was in awe and said, "I really don't know how to thank you for this." But how come I don't remember that one of the Rangers who came out together was called 'Fishbone'? ”

"He wasn't, but now he is," Lamia said. ”

It was like a promise, and I seemed to have gotten what I wanted.
