Chapter 31: Good garbage
"It feels so good. ”
The man who was injected with the medicine, his figure swayed, feeling the beauty, and he couldn't help it.
In the shadow of the old Dunling, the hallucinogen has become indispensable, and at a low price, you can enjoy a pleasure that you will never get in this steel city.
Although the authorities have cracked down on it several times, the greed for money and pleasure has only made it more stubborn, and in the current martial law, the price of hallucinogens has skyrocketed, and these goods are enough for them to make a lot of money.
The mounted police were patrolling the land overhead, but they could not have imagined that they would hide here and transport goods in this way.
"Don't use it too much, I'm not going to carry you back. "Another humane.
These words seemed to sober the man a little, after all, a few people in the first few days used too many potions, lost consciousness and fell into the channel, maybe he would be rescued by some interception net, or he might be drowned, or he would be thrown directly into the combustion chamber.
"Whew...... These new items are really good. ”
He rubbed his eyes vigorously, like a stimulant, and he felt that his whole body was full of strength.
"I'm a little curious about where all this stuff is made from. "After picking up a hallucinogen, a delicate container, is the wealth of the liquid.
"I want you to dispel this idea, it's a fortune involving the big guys. ”
The leader, his tone was very cold, they were all rats living in the shadows, and they couldn't see any light.
"I know, I know...... But these things are awesome. ”
The man brushed the cold surface, and under the afterglow of the searchlight, the liquid inside glowed with brilliant colors, I don't know if it was the effect of hallucinogens, or if the liquid was like this, it seemed to be glowing with starlight, colorful.
They continued to carry the goods, one of the exhaust systems deep underground, near the Furnace Pillar, and the high steam threatened their lives at all times.
Thankfully, they'd done it many times, the complicated routes had become familiar, and the ladders that had fallen into disrepair and had been badly corroded had been reinforced.
It may be the safety of the place, the euphoria of wealth, and other factors, but they did not notice that there was an extra strange shadow in the darkness, and the distance between the two was neither far nor close, maintaining a delicate balance.
Lorenzo walked in the blind spot of their line of sight, cautiously approaching, trying to hear their conversation.
The moment the man was injected with hallucinogens, Lorenzo clearly sensed the breath of demons, or the smell of secret blood.
Hallucinogens are mixed with secret blood, which only Lawrence has done, but now that he's dead, where did these potions come from?
Thinking of this, Lorenzo couldn't help but sigh at the strange connection, the answer that the agency had been looking for for a long time, Lorenzo found it so inexplicably, or, the big dark hands, pushed the two together, just as Lorenzo initially held Eve hostage and triggered the beginning of the story.
From the smallest things, little by little, to the center of the vortex.
Lorenzo may have been able to find its source from this shipment, Lawrence's associates.
It was for this reason that Lorenzo's murderous intent had just been suppressed by him, and he needed these people alive, at least to take Lorenzo out of the underground labyrinth and see where they were going to transport their goods.
Folding knives and guns were hidden beneath him, and Lorenzo's clothes had no metal parts to reflect any glimmer of light in the darkness, and he held his breath and followed them like a shadow.
The same shadows in the darkness followed Lorenzo, the rats crawling out of the shadows, crawling back and forth in the interception nets set up by the men, eating, dead fish, dumped garbage, enough to feed the rats.
The teeth gnawed and cracked, as if metal was gently cutting through each other.
The men had long been accustomed to the presence of these rats, and they were everywhere in the underground, and Lorenzo, who had been following him, looked solemn at all this.
Now there is an even more complicated mystery for Lorenzo.
Who is the Rat King, what exactly is he going to do? How much else does he know?
For a person like Lorenzo who is covered in darkness, everything related to that darkness has a strange gravitational pull, they pull each other, and even if you live quietly, you will be disrupted by the sudden appearance of demons, and that's all about it.
So Lorenzo was used to this, but the incident still scared him, as he saw Camu go looking for tipsters...... No, even from the moment he went to Pres and immediately picked a case.
The end of an ordinary case in the darkness is not so much an almost impossible coincidence as a predestined one
Lorenzo would take out the case with his hands and reach the deepest part of the darkness after the events of the ring.
Strange things attract each other, fall into the whirlpool of darkness, and meet in the center of the depths.
They were leaving, but some of them remained, and after so long in business, it had become a stronghold-like place, and the searchlight shone at the other end, which was a long ladder up the iron wall, and it seemed that this was the route of the few people leaving.
The people left, and those who stayed stayed to keep the work here, and some of them gathered around the interception nets, scattering the rats and seeing if they could find anything good in the garbage.
"That's nice. ”
Someone took out the hallucinogens he had secretly hidden, it was very dark, and when they checked the goods, there was always enough time for them to steal something, and a few others came over and laughed evilly.
"I envy them, we can only nest here, living like mice. ”
The other man was a bit pessimistic, and although the job was much better than in Downtown, he still had some dislikes.
Em has been working here for a long time, sleeping in the corner, food will be delivered when the goods are delivered, and life is quite stable, but the environment is not very good.
Like many people in the lower towns, Em was a stowaway, and he wanted to make a big difference in Old Dunling, but he ended up living like this.
"Gao Xiu, at least they gave us these things. ”
Another man walked over and evened Em a hallucinogen.
"You know, this thing is very expensive to sell outside, and we can use it here casually!"
He looked excited.
"It's still the latest style, don't you want to try it?"
Em looked at him helplessly, the man's face was sickly, and his pale complexion could be seen in the faint light.
He came here before Em, and Em didn't know how long before, but it was clear from the way he looked that he hadn't seen empty for a long time.
Em asked a little unbearable, "Aren't you uncomfortable in this ghost place?"
Narao's voice froze, and the searchlight shifted direction, and they fell into darkness again here
After a long pause, the man said slowly.
"I can only endure the discomfort, anyway, I live outside, and I live here, just one meaning. ”
He lit a cigarette, and Em could see a light in the darkness.
Emlen paused, then approached him, and said in a loud voice.
"Do you want to run out together?"
They didn't come here of their own volition, at least at first they didn't know they would be working in such a place, and Em was blindfolded when he was brought in, after all, he could understand that the location was to be kept secret, but he never thought it would be in this kind of place.
Em didn't know the way out, only the people who carried the goods knew how to get out, and he tried to find other roads, but the other junction led to an exhaust hole, and Em saw with his own eyes that a guy who wanted to escape failed to climb the high platform, and was immediately steamed by the hot steam.
The underground is full of unknowns and crises, and over time he will break this thought.
"Em, the last guy like this, is dead. The man said mercilessly.
"He wanted to swim down the river. ”
He pointed to the water gushing out of the darkness, which connected to the River Thames, and if you had enough strength, you could indeed swim against the current.
But there was a layer of iron fence outside, and he failed, and was swept back by the current, but at the last moment he caught the interception net. ”
Em asked, "And then?"
"And then?" the man thought for a moment, "and everyone gathered around, and the leader was still there. ”
"Do you think he's going to save him?"
His voice grew strange in the darkness.
"I didn't ...... Isn't it?" asked Emm, a little puzzled and a little wary.
Of course not, the searchlights were focused on him, like the protagonist in the center of the stage. ”
The man remembered the scene.
Everyone looked at him, but no one dared to stretch out his hand to take him, and the leader did not let anyone do anything, and let him cry and cry until he let go of his hand with all his strength. ”
Looking to the other side of the darkness, beneath the channel is one of the inlets of the Furnace Pillar.
"He just fell, maybe drowned, or he just fell into the combustion chamber...... Anyway, since then, no one wants to escape. ”
Em felt his blood turn cold, but the man on the other side of the darkness laughed.
"Em, we are rats living in the shadows, so don't think about the light, do you want to give it a try. ”
He leaned closer to Em and placed the hallucinogen in his hand, cold to the touch, and in the darkness Em could see an eerie glimmer of light in the liquid.
"Let's give it a try, great. ”
The man injected a hallucinogen, his body convulsed, and then he leaned to his side as if drunk.
Em looked down at the hallucinogen, he hesitated, but as if he was desperate for life, he pressed his tail, and the thin needle moved forward, but just as he was about to inject it, he seemed to think of something, or gave up, when a strange voice sounded in the darkness.
"Why don't you get an injection?"
"I ...... I don't want to be like him. Em replied, but then he became vigilant, there were only a few people left here, and he was familiar with all the other voices, except this one.
His eyes burned in the darkness, and Lorenzo came with a folding knife, still stained with blood that had not yet dried up.
"Yes? It saved your life. ”
Lorenzo walked past Em without swinging his knife at him.
"No...... Wait, what do you mean?"
Em couldn't figure out, and he couldn't figure out who Lorenzo was, let alone those burning eyes.
He could feel the strange pressure, but he didn't feel Lorenzo's murderous intent towards him.
"It's easy to get out of the mud without getting dirty, but not drowning in the mud is already exhausting your strength. ”
Lorenzo had already arrived at his side, and they all listened to their conversation, perhaps it was mercy, or something else, Lorenzo left Em's fate in his own hands, and Em was not injected with hallucinogens, so he survived.
"There's a problem with hallucinogens, at least not if you can inject them. ”
Lorenzo's eyes were cold, it was not the first time he had come into contact with this hallucinogen mixed with secret blood, but at that time, it was mixed with a very low concentration of deteriorated secret blood, but this time it was different.
On the other side, a person has a huge reaction after a few minutes of injection, according to previous experience, usually this hallucinogen needs to be injected several times before the body is abnormal, but this time one is enough.
Instead of a new hallucinogen, it is better to have a newly refined secret blood mixed in it, which is better than the previous deterioration.
Lorenzo approached, and on the ground, the man who had just spoken to Em was curled up in a ball, his eyes widening and whispering something indiscriminately, his muscles twitching slightly.
The hallucinations and the pain caused by the secret blood acted on him at the same time, such scenes Lorenzo had just seen a lot, and he did not rush to catch up with those people, but after realizing this, he dealt with these people who began to alienate.
He knew very well what would become of these people if this situation continued.
"What are you going to do!"
Watching Lorenzo raise the folding knife, Em was rarely not afraid, but stopped Lorenzo.
He was so weird, he emerged from the shadows like a grim reaper, but the man in front of him was one of the few friends of Em in this hellish place.
"He's dead. ”
Lorenzo said coldly, Em was afraid, but for the sake of his friend's life, he still mustered up the courage to think of something to stop Lorenzo, but then the man on the ground stood up with his legs bent.
Strange and disgusting, his skin began to swell and crack, revealing the white bones that had begun to proliferate beneath it.
"No ......"
Em was terrified, and Lorenzo didn't waste his time here, and went straight to the knife, as he had done so many times before, piercing the heart and decapitating him.
The execution was completed in an instant, and the body that had not yet completely transformed into a demon fell weakly, and a large amount of blood flowed in the darkness.
Em's stomach churned at the sight, and he retched, as Lorenzo spoke.
"I suggest you follow me next, after all, they won't know what they're transporting. ”
Lorenzo said indifferently, from the time those people left hallucinogens, these people who stayed behind were abandoned, to be precise, Lorenzo didn't know why they suddenly wanted to destroy this place that had been so hard to build, but it was certain that something had happened that prompted them to make such a decision.
Em reluctantly looked up, looking into the bright eyes in the darkness.
"Is that some kind of mercy?"
"Count it as a chance to live, you are still young, and you can still refuse this temptation, which is the best garbage among all this garbage. ”
Lorenzo obviously didn't want to explain anything, he had a human nature, but there wasn't much mercy on this human nature, as for saving Em...... He looked at the face in the darkness that was a little panicked, but forcibly calm.
It's just a kid who wants to see the emptiness again, and he's just an inconsequential kindness.
