55. Rational speculation

He's lying, where did such drama come from? A young girl is kidnapped, and her lonely little sister asks a private detective for help? I'm not stupid, and I won't relent at this fool's storyβ€”even if I've decided to help him.

The door was pushed open, and there was a brief noise outside, and a small figure walked towards us. She was a girl of about twelve years of age, with dirty skin, bright eyes, dressed in what was probably her sister's dress, and carrying a tin box in her arms.

She hurriedly said, "Mr. Mask! Aren't you going to save my sister? Then she saw me and cried out in fright: "Kidnapper! She took a knife from the tin box and pointed it at me, causing snot and tears to gush out.

I glanced at the mask, and the mask said, "Ah, this person is not a bad party, but a kind police detective. ”

Ah Xi nodded, wiped away his tears, and handed the box to the mask, I opened it and saw that there were a lot of iron coins and banknotes, about a hundred iron coins can be exchanged for one gold dollar, and about thirty gold dollars in it, which is a lot of money here.

Ashi said, "Mr. Mask, are you delaying saving my sister because I didn't pay the deposit?" I'm paying now, you can go quickly. ”

I saw that she was bleeding from the knee, wearing only one shoe, and the soles of her feet were worn out, so I bandaged her with a ranger's self-help bag and applied some antiseptic medicine to her, and she inhaled in pain and said, "Thank you, but I don't have the money to pay you." ”

The mask said, "This iron box belongs to the Blood Pact Gang, you stole it from them?" ”

Ash burst into tears again and said, "Yes, I'm scared, someone saw me, but I.... But I.... I'd rather not have this life than save my sister. ”

"Kid, I don't need money, what I need is a reason to fight for it, and you've given it to me," the mask muttered. ”

I admit that I am a gullible person, even a crazy person like Mask can fool me, and now, if they are acting, this acting is really flawless, and they have succeeded in fooling me, and I vow to save her relatives for Ashi at any cost.

The door was kicked open, and a man in a vest appeared, with a machete in his hand, and shouted, "Ahi! Little bastard, you're dead, you don't know who you've offended? You're going to get caught and sold...."

I stabbed him in the throat and threw him outward, knocking over the other man behind him. I grabbed the hair of the other man who was not dead, walked to the balcony, and carried him in the air, while the messy crowd below chirped upwards.

I exclaimed, "I'm Fishbone Longinus, Colonel of the Rangers!" Ashi is covered by me, you better not let her lose a single hair! ”

The undead scolded, "What bullshit rangers? I'm going to chop her into...."I smashed his teeth with a punch, and the Blade drilled into his heart, he was already scared, and the Blade would make him even more scared, scared like a lost dog.

I shook the tin can in front of his eyes and said, "I have accepted the benefits of the Blood Pact Gang, don't forget to say hello to Suo Lone." ”

I threw him downstairs, and he was covered in blood and fled.

I turned around and said, "They won't mess with you anymore." ”

With stars shining in his eyes, Ashi exclaimed, "Wow, Mr. Mask, your helper is so handsome." ”

I left the tin box with her and said, "Mask, tell me where the ceremony is, you and Ashi stay here, and I'll really close the case." ”

The mask said, "I must go, that place is in a mysterious and gray place, like a city of sin abandoned by God, and only under my guidance can believers reach." ”

I said, "We're in Sin City." ”

"Then it is the darkest place in Sin City," said the mask. ”

I said, "What about Ashi?" ”

Ashi shouted, "I'll go with you!" ”

Difficult times forge a strong heart, and since she has decided so, we don't have to be too insistent on protecting her young heart. We can't keep her here, and even my prestige doesn't guarantee her 100% safety.

The second floor is also the second largest of the black coffins, and it is not much smaller than the first, and in contrast to the splendor of the first, this level is a collection of slaughterhouses, shantytowns, and alleys, low and filthy houses, greasy and slippery floors, dim red lights, and all kinds of vulgar sounds.

Even the exhaust system of the black coffin could not dispel all kinds of stench here.

I stepped on a hotbed of sin.

Here, as in the rest of the lower classes, the routine is irregular, and the industrious must endure the sleepless noise of idle gangsters. I, Mask, and Ashi walked down the street, and no one looked at us, even though we were conspicuous.

I noticed something strange and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"They are weak-willed mortals, and I make us like dust in their eyes, and even if they see us, they will not be impressed," said the mask. ”

I was surprised and said, "You can also read the blade?" ”

"This is not a telephonic blade, I am proficient in a language that I have never heard before," said the mask. ”

I looked at the detective in front of me again, whether he was a liar or not, he had wonderful abilities and good detection skills, and I could use such a person at all times.

I said, "Do you want to join the Rangers?" Whoever follows me will be developed. ”

Mask shook his head and said, "I am the freest person in the world, and even the cage of God cannot bind me." ”

I said, "I can lock you up for fraud." ”

The mask said, "Maybe you can join my detective agency, and it will definitely be better to make a head than the Rangers." ”

I was thrilled and asked, "Really?" But I immediately shook my head and said, "I won't be fooled, you're a poor ghost." Not even the money you swindled from me will save you. ”

"One day, you will see through the truth of the world, join my camp, and fight side by side with me," the mask said. ”

This mask likes to use words that are mysterious and mysterious, like a demon disguised as a fish.

Abruptly turned into a fence in front of it, the area enclosed by tall iron sheets, and the smell of blood flowed down the canal into the sewage pipe, the smell was disgusting, and it could not be hidden from anyone.

"This is a slaughterhouse, and there are some pigs bred in captivity," the mask said. ”

I didn't know there was such a place in the black coffin.

"Pork is only available to the upper class of human nobilityβ€”ghouls appreciated by the Bloodline," the mask said, "and mortals cannot taste this delicacy, but because of this, they can cover up their sins." ”

A chill ran through my spine, perhaps.... It's not just pork...

The place was guarded by heavily armed guards, not badly equipped, no more than ten people, and I took the Eye of Odin and saw that their faces under their helmets were covered in scars and tattoos, they were mercenaries of the Blood Pact.

I whispered, "It seems that I don't need you anymore, hiding in the most hidden place, I am more than enough alone." ”

The mask said: "Before you leave, I have something to confess to you, to confess to you. ”

I said, "What the hell? ”

The mask said: "In view of your high reputation, I have preemptively registered a trademark with your name and intend to launch the corresponding product. ”

I said angrily, "What? You bastard sucked me again? ”

The mask said: "This is a rational use of resources, if you don't die, I will give you a share." ”

What an unlucky madman, how could I die? The opponent is not a nightmare like Abel.

I put sclerosis potion on my face, throat, abdomen, and heart, and drank the water of Amon, and the reason why I was so solemn was because of Xie Bade's excessive panic that made me nervous, and besides, this place was indeed suspicious, very suspicious.

This slaughterhouse was a place for the nobility, which was very unusual. The kidnappers actually took advantage of this place, and their background was not ordinary, very unusual.

It's undoubtedly impossible for the mask to say that it might involve the House of Elders, but imagine if it's true, who of the six is the most suspicious?

First of all, by my flowery reasoning, the Archons must be excluded....

One by one, I took down the guards, they were so tightly guarded that I couldn't knock them out, I could only stab them in the neck, and I couldn't blame them, but they didn't show mercy to my men.

I prevented an accident and killed each of them, their blood mixed with pig's blood, though I suspect it wasn't all pig's blood.

Inside the hold were slaughtered pigs, hung on fishing hooks, and the smell of the pigsty came from the depths. When passing by a six-meter-long cargo box, I was in a trance, feeling that there were white eyes in the box, and the black pupils were round and round, looking at me, and the eyes were very frightened and terrifying.

I turned the lock into gold dust with my brilliant hand and opened the tin box, which turned out to be no one inside, at least not alive.

I don't want to count how many, the numbers don't make sense anymore, they all died of blood loss.

More than sixty, and this is only the evidence of the crime that has not been rotten and destroyed, and in ten years, it will only be more, unimaginably large.

I am reminded of the words of the Dead Bell - Kolov sold human slaves to the Black Coffin. He wasn't mistaken, and I wasn't mistaken, the Black Coffin did have strict vetting of the inhabitants, but those slaves weren't bought to become residents, they weren't even slaves, they just... Consumables.

The human eye I just saw in the box was supposed to be a human brainwave left on this metal plate, perhaps what the world calls a ghost.

I tried my best to suppress the anger in my chest, the dead are gone, I only hope that there are still the living, I think very simply, I am not a hero who presides over justice, I am just entrusted by Ashi to save her sister who depends on her life.

Walking silently through the pigsty, a small black chapel, I jumped in through the window, and by the light of the fire, they were in the midst of the ceremony.

There were six of them, they were locked in small cages, hung three meters high, I recognized Ashi's sister, they were all holding their bodies and squatting, she was crying, and the rest were crying.

Under the cage, a group of young people were laughing and reveling, they picked up spears and halberds on the ground and stabbed them into the cage, sometimes the spears were not long enough, they had to jump, and the kidnappers tried to dodge, but the cage was too small for them to dodge.

The caged man was wounded, blood dripping from the cage, and these people opened their mouths wide and went to pick it up like a game.

They weren't Bloodborn, but they didn't have the canines of Blood, they breathed heavily, and with the Eye of Odin, I could hear their powerful heartbeat.

Nor are they ghouls, slaves who are loyal to the Blood, ghouls are not so crazy about blood, they only love the blood of their masters, and the blood of ordinary people makes them sick to their stomachs.

Two men approached me slowly, and though I was invisible, I was carefully hidden behind the pillar.
