03 - Coming for the rupture

Those who want to live see death, and those who want to die welcome death. β€”Howard Kivus

"It seems that the two children we are dealing with are not simple." "Although I'm sure they weren't the killers of Kivu, they managed to bring me to interest," Lake said. ”

For the first time, Leopard Rees saw someone eating noodles with a fork. I saw Edo holding a fork in his right hand and searching vigorously in the soup bowl, and finally only a few noodles were connected.

"I said, haven't you ever used chopsticks?" Leopard Rees asked.

"What are 'chopsticks'?"

"Don't you even understand this?" Leopard Ris said, flashing the two tableware in his hand with a square top and a round bottom.

"This is chopsticks?" Edo looked at Leopard Rees with a curious gaze.

"Alas...... Whatever you want. Leopard Rees shook his head and said.

"The noodles are so delicious!" Edo wiped his mouth with his hand and said, "I heard that the 'Earth Star' is in today's newspaper!" ”

"It's normal." "Since the beginning of Project Axestone, there have been more than a dozen of these stories in the newspapers every day, saying that there are shootouts and dragons being captured wherever they are...... When you ask, you probably haven't read the latest newspapers. ”

"I rarely read the newspaper...... We don't even have a TV on our side. "Fortunately, this is not the hardest hit area, otherwise we would have been used by the right wing to make soup." ”

"The right wing is stupid!" He then shouted again.

"I don't understand why they're doing this, even if they want to find the murderer, they shouldn't use such bloody methods, right?"

"Hmph, they clearly want to get rid of us!" "They think we're in league with the people who invaded your world before, and they want to 'inherit the inheritance' and help them annex the orc world!" ”

"That's!" "Somebody must be manipulating everything in the shadows!" ”

"Who is it? Right-wing leader Lake? ...... It's definitely him! ”

"Don't jump to conclusions." "We still have a long way to go, don't let judgments without evidence distract us," Cheetah said. ”

At this moment, the short honking of the horn downstairs broke their thinking.

"Who's downstairs?" Leopard Ris went to the window and saw Greenwich standing next to the car. Seeing the cheetah poking its head out, he beckoned gently.

"Who's that?" Edo asked.

"Greenwich." Leopard Rees turned around and said, "Looks like we have something to do today." ”

"Why are you free today?" Leopard Rees asked.

"Yesterday it happened, can I go back to work?" 'Planet of Earth' is not a military base, and if the right-wing gang comes back to crusade, I may not be as lucky as yesterday! ”

"Besides, I haven't been to the Levant range either, so I've been thinking about where to go...... I made an appointment with the guy over there this morning, but I didn't mention the two of you. ”

"If you don't go to work, what are you going to do?" Leopard Rees asked.

Greenwich just shook his head: "The net on the right is starting to tighten, and I don't know when this small city will fall." ”

After driving for half an hour, I came to a lot of old bungalows. The three of them got out of the car together. Before their eyes was a warehouse-like building, its faΓ§ade covered in moss, and the words "Levant Range" were hidden under the seeping green.

"That's it, I guess." Greenwich took a step forward and said.

"Are you really sure it's here?" "It's like no one has been in or out of this little warehouse for half a century." ”

"I think so...... Greenwich said, looking around, "just go in." ”

"Oh......" When Leopard Rees and Edo came back to their senses from the terrifying amount of moss, Greenwich had already pulled them some distance, and they hurried up again.

"You look pretty honest." Greenwich didn't look back and said, "It's not like an adolescent boy." ”

"How?" Leopard Rees asked.

"I think when I was the same age as you, I didn't quarrel with my parents!" "It's ...... anyway," he said Rebellious. ”

"Who says we're not rebellious?" "But rebellion is not a reason for us to do whatever we want." ”

"Hehehe, you're much better than my generation." Greenwich Road.

"However, I wish I could find someone to vent my rebellion again." Leopard Rees said.

"What do you mean?" Greenwich thought for a moment and said, "Oh I see...... Sorry, I accidentally stabbed you in the spot. ”

"It's okay...... It's been six years since our parents left, and we're used to it...... It's really in response to the old saying - only after losing do you know how to cherish it. ”

As they spoke, they came to the door of the shooting range. It's just a normal glass door. They pushed open the door and walked in, and only a few steps later a white tiger came up to greet them.

"Are you Greenwich?" White Tiger asked.

"Yes, I am." He nodded.

AltaΓ―r Greenwich...... Look at you, it looks like we've seen it somewhere...... Oh, and you brought two smaller ones with you. ”

"My name is Lin Yihui." He said, "So what's the name of you two?" ”

"My name is Nicolas Leopardis"

"I'm Balk Zaka Edor, just call me Edor."

"Nice to meet you." Lin Yihui nodded, he walked behind them, quickly closed the door, and then led them into the depths of the shooting range.

"My first impression of Kivu was that he was very talkative." Lin Yihui said, "He must be a frequent visitor here, although the Dragon Administration Department is far away from here, he still comes here to play with guns when he has time, and the people here are also very familiar with Mr. Diplomat." Ever since we learned of his assassination, the place has become deserted. ”

"Is there no one here?" Edo asked.

"There are still some, but they're all out already."

"Where to go?"

"Go to the hardest hit areas." Lin Yihui said, "There are a lot of people over there, especially dragons, who need help, how can we be willing to watch them being killed by the right wing for no apparent reason? ...... The right wing is starting to tighten up its nets, and it won't be long before it becomes a 'hard-hit area'. ”

"Don't talk about that." Lin Yihui shrugged. He walked over to a wooden cabinet and rummaged through it for a few moments, before finally returning with a photograph.

"This was taken for Kivu a year ago." Lin Yihui said. The three of them leaned in to take a look, only to see Kivu holding the gun in both hands, and his eyes were fixed on the scope of the gun, as if he was about to pull the trigger in the next second.

"Kivu likes to use sniper rifles the most." Lin Yihui said, "There was a gun in the warehouse that he signed himself...... I really didn't expect that he was actually killed by his favorite gun. ”

"Signature...... Kivu also signed the gun? ”

"That's right." "But I want to tell you the bad news, that signature gun was stolen a long time ago. ”

"Can you take us to the gun hangar?" Leopard Rees asked.

"Of course, I haven't been to the storeroom for a long time, so it's time to clean it today."

They walked through the dark passage and came to a reinforced sliding door. Lin Yihui opened the door lock, then pulled the special safety latch on the door, and then pulled the door open forcefully, and the smell of gunpowder mixed with metal came to his face.

The warehouse was filled with all sorts of guns and accessories, all neatly classified, and while most of them showed signs of battle, they were wiped clean, and some even looked like they had just been opened.

"Oh my God...... It's a weapons paradise! Leopard Rees said in surprise.

"It's all military stuff stored here." Lin Yihui said.

"Honestly, the guns are really well cared for." "Even the military isn't so careful." ”

"I was in the Army for a while, and in our army, recruits had to be rigorously trained in the care and repair of firearms before they were exposed to live ammunition, and I remember that we studied for a whole week, and I can still memorize the steps of disassembling a revolver...... But personally, I don't think it's much use to learn this kind of thing, after all, the battlefield, where you have time to take care of this kind of thing, maybe you won't have time to fire the first shot and be killed by the enemy. Lin Yihui said.

"Is there a shooting range here?" Leopard Rees asked.

"Yes, there's a wasteland in the back, and when the weather is good, we shoot there, and if it rains, we also have a small indoor shooting range, but there's a bad thing about shooting in it, and that's that it's too loud."

Edo saw one of the weapon racks tilted outward, and he just wanted to turn it back, but Lin Yihui stopped him.

"I'll handle that myself." "The guy who stole the gun was really unqualified, and not only did he steal the gun, but he made a mess of it." ”

"This revolver seems to have its name engraved on it." Leopard Rees said, pointing to the gun at the very top of the pistol rack.

"The owner of this gun is Jonny Larnes, a good friend of mine, and he and I financed the construction of this range, and he bought most of the guns here out of his pocket."

"Has he not been here in a long time?" "There's a lot of dust on the gun." ”

"A few months ago, he didn't know what to do, he was hospitalized with gunshot wounds, and I visited him a lot, but he was very badly injured, basically woke up for a few hours and then fainted, and I didn't think he would survive." Lin Yihui shrugged his shoulders and said, "In the end, I really guessed correctly...... He should be dead...... Anyway, I didn't go to see him in the last few days. ”

"This one may have been stolen by the murderer," said Edo.

"I think so." Lin Yihui said, "If this is the case, then the murderer is really tied to the gallows, and the resentment of the orcs cannot be resolved." ”

Leopard Ris squinted at the depths of the warehouse, and suddenly he noticed that behind a cabinet not far away, a pair of eyes were faintly visible.

"Who's there?" Leopard Rees shouted. The eyes disappeared immediately, replaced by a dark shadow, and the orc covered by the dark shadow looked at Reese the leopard, and then quickly ran towards the window behind him.

"Don't run!!" Leopard Rees rushed forward at the same time. The orc jumped up, smashed the window hard, and fled outside. Without saying a word, Leopard Ris climbed out of the window and chased closely after the orc.

"Hmph, you want to run with me?" He sneered.

After a while, the orc was forced into a small alley by Leopard Rees, and at the end of the alley was a dead end, he stopped, and turned around, looking sharply at the cheetah standing in front of him. Leopard Rees was about to pounce, but the orc suddenly pulled out his gun and aimed it at Leopard Rees, which startled him a lot, so he had to obediently freeze in place.

"It seems that you little thing is really capable." The orc said.

"Who the hell are you?" Leopard Ris exclaimed, "You just ...... Why peep at us? ”

"I just want to give it back." The orc slipped his left hand into the right pocket of his pants and took out a black object and threw it on the ground. Leopard Rees looked at it, and it was actually a scope.

"Scope...... You stole Kivu's gun?! "Do you ......?"

"My mission is done." The orc said, "I don't need this anymore." He then removed a small bag from his back, untied the knot, and spilled several complete parts of the firearm, one of which had the name "Howard Kivu" engraved on it.

"I can't spare you! ...... You orc world peacebreaker! Leopard Reese was so encouraged by anger that he rushed forward, forgetting that he still had a gun in his hand. The orc pulled the trigger, and a dart shot out of the gun hit the cheetah in the abdomen, and he screamed and fell to the ground.

"It's ...... What the? ......" Leopard Rees wanted to struggle on the ground, but the strength of his whole body was instantly drained as if he had been connected to a water pump.

"Something that will calm you down." The orc walked over and crouched down beside Leopard Rees, put his pistol to his head, and pulled out the dart stuck in his stomach. Leopard Rees couldn't help but watch the blood slowly flow out of the wound.

"That's what you do...... Finally...... For what? Leopard Rees asked with difficulty.

"You'll find out someday." The orc suddenly turned his attention to Leopard Rees's tail, and he reached out, grabbed his tail, and began to stroke it gently.

"You...... What are you doing? "Leopard Rees doesn't like it when someone touches his tail like that.

"What a beautiful tail." The orc pulled hard, and actually ripped a handful of hair from it, and he put the "trophy" in his pocket with satisfaction and said, "I'll take your things first." ”

"Leopard Reesβ€”" Greenwich's voice came from outside the alley. The orc sneered and quickly climbed over the wall and left.

"Leopard Rees!" The crowd arrived just in time.

"Leopard Reese, are you alright?" Seeing the blood under Leopardris, Edo asked, "Did you get shot?" ”

"It's a poison dart......" he whispered.

"Take him to the hospital!" Greenwich said. Lin Yihui was cleaning up the parts scattered on the ground, and he didn't say a word.

"Did that man say anything, Leopardris?" Lin Yihui asked.

"He said I 'will know someday'...... He should be...... Murdered...... ...... Kivu ......," Leopard Reese gasped. As soon as he finished speaking, he faintedβ€”the medicine was starting to work.

He fainted...... The pulse is normal, and it should not be poison. Lin Yihui touched Leopard Reese's neck and said, "Send him to the hospital first." ”

"What about the murderer?" Edo asked, "Are we going to call the police?" ”

"It's useless to call the police." Greenwich said, "Now the police are also scratching their heads. ”

An ambulance arrived at the scene, and Greenwich and Edo rushed to lift the cheetah onto a stretcher.

"Aren't you going with us?" Greenwich asked Lin Yihui.

"I'm going back to take care of the range, and if anything goes missing, I'll be in trouble." He said.

"Will you investigate this with us later? You're a good friend of Kivu! "Edodao.

"I also have business things to do." After Lin Yihui finished speaking, he gently closed the back door of the ambulance outside.
