XXXVI. Escape from the clutches
Solace began to cry again, but her eyes.... It was a look that made people shudder, the eyes of the goddess of revenge.
I said, "You can't escape, the Rangers have already laid a net." ”
"Oh, I will," said Kolov, "and easily, the walls of Black Coffin are nothing to me, and the only reason I'm here is because of some unfinished family matters." ”
He was referring to Soles, and even at this point, he still didn't give up killing Soles and the Dead Clock.
I said, "What are you going to do?" ”
"It's very simple, we agree on a place to meet, I take your people, you take my people, exchange chips, and then go their separate ways, and the problem is solved," Koloff said. He seemed to be joking, but his tone was stiff and rigid, and his cruelty was easily revealed.
I said, "You killed the Rangers, do you think we're going to give up?" ”
"Let me repeat, I didn't kill Rita Mann, I just gave her a wonderful rebirth, you just have to give Soles to me, and then catch the 'Waste Clock' and make him take the blame, you are a good friend, and I am a good friend." I believe the Rangers have always been flexible. ”
I said, "No way." ”
"Don't be so categorical," Kolov sighed, "in an hour we will meet in the ruins of the Eternal Stream and bring me my daughter, but I don't want to see any of the rest of the Rangers, otherwise this kid.... There will also be a miraculous resurrection. ”
Salvador began to hum violently, as if enduring torture, and I turned off my headphones.
Soles turned her vengeful eyes at me with a horrible look, and she said, "Will you do it?" ”
I said, "What is the topography of the Eternal Stream?" ”
"It was a camping camp from the last century, surrounded by dense woods that made it easy for him to hide," Soles said. She clenched her fists and stood up, and said, "I have to go, but you don't want to take me hostage." ”
I thought for a moment and smiled, "He made a big mistake, we don't have to go to the Eternal Stream at all, he has already exposed his current hiding place. ”
Soles and Milser asked at the same time, "Really?" ”
I asked Lacka, "Can you locate him?" Little angel? "Kolov wasn't an intellectual, a scientific maniac, and he couldn't have known that the headphones weren't just a communication device, they could also be used for positioning.
"He has been positioned, and he is in the 'Movement Page,' where there is a villa made of black coffin materials," said Lacka. ”
Soles asked, "Who is the 'little angel'?" Is it a spies for the Rangers? Her usual distrust of everyone has added to her already nasty traits.
I said, "The little angel is a delicate maiden who admires me, like a daughter who often throws herself into my arms, rubs my tickling beard, and begs my beloved, delicate daughter." ”
I wanted to please Lagar, but Auga said, "I can reduce the savings in your account at any time, you know?" ”
I was shocked and thought to myself, "You.... Why bother? ”
She said, "If you say anything that makes me insensitive, I will punish you." ”
I can't blame her, and of course it's not me, it's the world.
I said, "He's in motion, and we have to get there before he leaves." ”
Soles immediately said, "I lead the way, I know this area." ”
I asked Laca to inform Le Gang as soon as possible and ask him to send reinforcements, and Laca promised to let the young and old boss Abi send men.
The three of us walked to the door of the tavern, but suddenly, another man sitting in the door stood up, he was a handsome young man who was cold and bitter, wearing a black waistcoat, with well-proportioned muscles, and a demon's horn tattooed on his neck, and he seemed to be only eighteen years old, a year or two younger than Soles, and I knew who he was as soon as I saw him, for the mere mere look at his face made my stomach cramp and burn with rage.
Mirse drew his sword from its sheath and slashed at the young man, but the young man stood unresisted. Mirse restrained his emotions at the last moment, and the sword stopped a few centimeters from the boy's cheek.
Solace shouted, "Waste clock? ”
The waste bell said: "Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the one who should come will always come, won't you?" ”
Solace said, "I heard about you, and your lover has suffered the same fate as Tai. ”
"I have heard your conversation too, and it is good that this Ranger did not promise to hand me over me and Soles, and I trust him," said the Waste Bell. ”
I secretly scolded him for being an uneducated wild breed who dared to eavesdrop on the conversations of our superior races. I knew in my heart that he was not wrong for this, but the Hellfire made me see that everything was not going well with him, especially when the two living corpses were gathered together, making me feel as if I was surrounded by a school of piranhas. The drunken inhabitants of the surrounding area glanced at us, and the hostility became more and more pronounced.
I said, "Let's get out of here and find Kolov's lair, we can't afford to waste a second." ”
As we walked down the street, Mirse's expression was very unhappy, and if he hadn't been proficient in the blade, he would have drawn his sword and slashed people. He subconsciously distanced himself from Soles and the Waste Clock, which made me feel isolated.
Soles said, "How are you doing after not being in touch for a long time?" ”
Waste Zhong said indifferently: "Now is not the time to talk nonsense. ”
Solace said, "I'm just.... I just want to thank you for running away with me in the first place, if not.... I'm long dead. ”
"Kolov is a murderer, and the fire makes him more cruel than demons, more vicious than deformed corpses," said the Dead Bell. Guess what I saw him do? I followed him, into his secret lair, he went around catching the surviving humans, locked them in iron cages, and let them.... Breed and slaughter them. We probably came from that group of people when we were alive. ”
Soles couldn't help but close her eyes and bite her lip. I felt my stomach churning, especially when it came from the mouth of a living corpse, which was disgusting.
Misser asked, "Do you not remember what happened when you were alive?" ”
Waste Zhong said: "I don't remember, we don't have any memories of our lives." ”
Solace lamented, "It's likely that we're made up of different corpses, so... We've become different... Person. ”
I asked, "So, Kolov raises people as animals?" ”
"More than that," said the Waste Bell, "the cattle, the slave, the target of hatred, the object of amusement, his cruelty knows no bounds, and even those demons cannot be compared with the terrible Kolov." He looked at me and said, "Moreover, he sold humans to the Black Coffin." ”
I asked, "What?" Black coffin? ”
Waste Zhong said, "Yes, sell it to the Blood Pact Gang." ”
I shouted, "It's ridiculous, the population control of the Black Coffin has always been strict, and our food reserves have always been barely sufficient." ”
"I'm just telling you what I overheard," said the Waste Bell. ”
I said, "Then you heard me wrong, the black coffin is not rich enough to buy slaves." ”
Ignoring me, the Waste Bell confronted Soles and said, "I tried to kill Kolov, but I didn't succeed. This time, our chances are slim. ”
Solace shook her head and said, "These two Rangers can help." ”
"I know very well that they are not easy to deal with," said the Waste Clock, but Kolov ..... He's an undead monster. The day we fled, I buried a bomb in his secret cave, powerful enough to blow up a floor. I hid two hundred meters away, still shocked by the explosion, but... But I didn't kill Kolov. ”
Soles asked, "Are you sure you hit him?" ”
The muscles twitched in the dead clock's face, and he said, "I am 100% sure, because I looked at the fire through the binoculars, and I saw that his flesh was completely burned, and only a black skeleton remained, but the bones were still walking, and he seemed to notice me and stare at me." At that time, I immediately returned to you and fled with you. I was scared, scared of Kolov, who was already seriously injured. I don't even have the courage to assassinate him again. ”
He lowered his head, gasped heavily, and said, "But now, he killed Rita, killed my lover, killed the goddess who redeemed me, I have only.... There is only one way to go. ”
"We must take revenge, we can no longer run away from our fate," Soles said. ”
Misser asked: "You bombs .... Blew up those slaves of Kolov too? ”
"Yes, it's necessary, I don't have a choice," said the Waste Bell. ”
Misser looked at him with hatred and said, "Then you and Koloff are actually the same thing, and you are also indiscriminately killing innocent living corpses." ”
Waste Zhong Senran said: "Put away your nonsense!" Rather than let them suffer at the hands of Kolov, I mercifully freed them. ”
"But you are a brutal butcher," said Misser! ”
I stood between them and said, "Forget it, Misser, the world is ruined, and we are all ashes of burning ashes, black and white, good and evil?" Do you still believe that? We are all in the gray area, and it is this dust that keeps us alive. ”
"They're just protecting themselves, they're not trying to help us at all," Missey said. I suspect they will betray at any moment. ”
I said, "So what? There is no room for pure white people in this world, but we must also get rid of the pure darkness, the pure evil, like Kolov! ”
Milse turned his head, walked silently for a moment, and said, "Longi, you're right. ”
Wastebell was rightly to say no more, and any word he and Solace could anger Milese.
I began to think seriously about taking in these two hated living corpses, who were undoubtedly powerful, but undoubtedly problematic. They seem to be rejecting people thousands of miles away, tough and stubborn, but in fact they are extremely vulnerable, and I feel that they are using this cold disguise to cover up their vulnerability and inferiority.
It is precisely because of this vulnerability and inferiority complex that they are more easily moved and more likely to become dependent on human beings.
In other words, if I can endure them and keep them in the black coffin, they will always be faithful to me.
They are desperate for kindness from humanity, and all I have to do is give them some kind alms.
But there is no need to think about this at the moment, the first priority is to sneak up on Kolov, and if I can succeed, I will become the hero of the black coffin.
We got to the outside of the sports page, which used to be a gymnasium, but now the stadium has collapsed, and there is a lonely building built outside the stadium with lights in the windows.
I took Odin's Eye and found that there were many people inside and outside the building, all of them were guards, I couldn't tell which one was Kolov, I couldn't hear Salvador's voice, I hope he didn't die.
I wanted to train him to be my wingman, but now I just want him to live, or Lamia will be heartbroken.
