Chapter 14: Aftermath and Chance Encounters

The lower town is always full of filth, even in the city of the Apocalypse.

The dim sun shone on the streets, the cross-flowing sewage also glowed golden, and the black sludge was particularly dirty at this moment. All sorts of men had finished their day's work early, and before the sun had yet set, they had slipped into the taverns lining the streets, their half-rotten wooden doors clanging and clattering signs dangling in the evening wind, and the crumbled signs dropping from time to time two pieces of wood.

The woman with heavy makeup barely covered the wrinkles on her face with low-quality makeup, her mouth full of scorched teeth when she talked and laughed, her eyes stared at the men who came in and out of the tavern, some found acquaintances, and pulled into the small dark bungalow on the corner of the street, and some thought about how much money the men who walked out at night could be left on them.

The Austin trio quickly navigated through the complicated streets and alleys, and also scrapped a few drunks who were ready to find trouble.

The weapon they had taken from Von Lantrin had already been casually thrown to the upper city, and when the giant face was formed, the three of them left the killing field as soon as possible. That level of combat is not something they can meddle in, and in the face of that kind of energy that seems to be able to destroy the world, many killers have already sneaked away.

Contracts built with money are always unreliable, let alone people like them who are used to licking blood with knives. As for the confession to the killer guild - or is life more important.

The three of them now had ordinary machetes in their hands, with a few drops of blood on them, all from the unlucky ones who had just dared to block the way.

Passers-by on both sides of the street glanced at the three of them, then turned their heads numbly.

Gangsters of Downtown's age are one of the most common creatures, although one of them is a little pretty.

Quickly turning into a small alley, Gwenny's hoarse voice rang out: "The last one who followed us in plainclothes was thrown off. ”

"It seems that it is a little difficult to get out of the city today, there are a lot of plainclothes police stations on the street, and I also saw a few spies from the courtroom. ”

Davix frowned beautifully, "It seems that I only have to spend the night here, the wind is too tight." ”

Austin listened to the discussion between the two, silently discerning the cobweb-like paths, and finally came to the door of a small hotel.

The three of them pushed open the door, and a puff of dust pounced on them, and Austin shook his head to separate the dust from his face.

The owner of the small inn forcibly opened his eyes, which had narrowed into a slit, wiped the saliva that was about to flow on the counter, and asked, "Little rabbit cubs, how many rooms are there?"

Austin was not annoyed either, and said with a smile, "Boss, if I'm going out of town tonight, see if I can arrange it?"

A gleam flashed in the boss's eyes, and he snorted: "The guest said that he was laughing, I just opened a hotel, how can I arrange people to go out of the city?"

Austin took out the black gloves dyed red with ten fingers from his arms and asked, "There is really an emergency, I have to go out of the city tonight, otherwise the food at home will be cold." ”

The boss stared at Austin for half a minute, was silent for a while, and said, "Come with me." ”

The three of them followed the boss to the second floor, where the planked staircase creaked unpleasantly, and it seemed that it would be overwhelmed at any moment.

The boss led the three to the door of a room and turned to look at Austin.

Austin took out a pocket watch that looked like it was made of brass from his arms and handed it to him, the boss took it and looked at it, and with a snap of his fingers, a thin brass skin was torn off, revealing the silver texture inside, and a red gem inlaid on it could be faintly seen.

The boss nodded with satisfaction, and a smile finally appeared on his face that had been impatient: "The kid is very good, and the reward is more than enough." I can't leave tonight, and I will definitely send the three out of the city early tomorrow morning. The three of you can sleep peacefully, I won't have those black-skinned rats from the police station here to check the room. ”

"For the sake of this silver watch, I am reminding you that after the incident in Shangcheng, the four gates were investigated very strictly, and if you follow the current face, I am afraid you will not be able to get out...... After all, the bloody gloves and blackthorns who are out of town now .....hehehehe"

After speaking, the boss glanced at the three of them meaningfully.

Davix's face changed, and there was a faint red light flashing on his hand.

Gottwerny stepped forward, pulled Davix behind him, bowed slightly to the boss, and said, "Thank you for the reminder, we'll take notice." ”

Seeing the boss's shadow disappear around the corner of the stairs, Austin opened the door and walked into the room, only to see that there were already two people in the room.

Austin was slightly stunned, but walked in with the other two.

There was not even a bed in the room, only a table in the center, and the kerosene lamp on it did not explode a cloud of sparks. The sun hadn't set yet, but the heavy curtains kept all the sunlight out, making the room look extra cold on this hot autumn day.

Austin took the lead in finding a corner and sat down, took hard food from his companions, and then looked at the strangers in the room.

One of them was a girl, and she was no more than twenty-eight years old. Austin pursed her lips, although the girl's clothes were plain, they were extremely exquisitely made, and at a glance it was the clothes worn by the ladies of those large families. The girl's clothes were slightly tattered, as if they had been scratched during the run, and there were some scars on her hands. The girl curled up in the corner with her hands on her knees, as if shivering slightly from the cold.

The other was a half-aged man, dressed in the coarse cloth clothes of a street outlet, but wearing elaborate gold-rimmed glasses, and was now whispering something to the girl, while picking up the kettle on the table, pouring it into the cup, but no water came out.

The man felt the rude gaze of the three Austins, a trace of annoyance flashed on his face, but he seemed to remember something, sighed, turned around and lowered his head and said something to the girl huddled in the corner, hesitated for a moment, and finally pressed his palm on the girl's shoulder to show comfort.

The girl cried out as if she had been stimulated by something, and tears dripped down from the palm of her face like pearls with broken threads.

"A strange pair of housekeepers and young ladies. Austin thought, "Oh, and poor camouflage techniques." ”

However, he didn't dig deeper, the people who entered this room were all people who wanted to get out of the city, and they all had to go out of the city in this way. Austin, though he has the normal curiosity of a sixteen-year-old, has no habit of inquiring into the privacy of others.

And most of the people who can find this place are also a little bit of a way, at this time more is better than less, and leaving this vortex safely is the first priority now, although he is also one of the makers of the vortex.
