Chapter 162: The Whole City is on Alert
"Hah!"
Walking down the alley, John, who was fleeing as fast as he could, toward his place of residence, suddenly yawned, causing him to stop in a daze and look around.
"Someone talking about me?"
John's purpose is very simple, it is very simple to avoid the eyes of the outside, the lonely alley is the best choice, now that the tracking mark on his body is gone, they will definitely look for him in a hurry, the street outside is obviously not suitable for escape, although it is time-consuming to choose the way to walk the alley, and the road becomes farther, but this is the safest place.
"Oh no."
Sometimes things don't go as smoothly as expected, John was just about to cross a street, he found the Knights of Light, and he was forced to go back to the alley, and they didn't even let go of places like alleys, they searched one by one, and John could feel the danger of their approach.
"It's a lot faster than I thought, and it seems that the only way to do it is to use it."
John's gaze was on something like a manhole cover on the ground.
The city is the same as John imagined before he came, there is a sound sewer system underground, winding roads, and the sewage and waste generated by people's lives will be discharged here, so the inevitable stench, fortunately John has no sense of smell, he can't smell it, otherwise he will be smoked to death just after priing open the manhole cover, and slowly climb down the ladder, and now John has some regrets handing over his arm, it is so difficult to climb with one hand.
"Whew, if they hide here, they probably won't think about it."
With his feet on the stone slab, John said as he looked up at the closed manhole cover above.
Looking around, the sewers sometimes have problems, so there will be some lighting lights here, you can see clearly in the dim environment, go straight along the wall, and there is a wide sewage river left in the opposite place, compared to the temperature outside, the temperature here is obviously much milder, John also investigated the reason before coming, there are flame gems installed in it that can increase the temperature, so it will not freeze.
After John came to the city and chose a place to live temporarily, he completed the investigation of the route of the sewer, and drew a map himself, and kept this memory very clearly in his head, and soon, in the complex sewer, John returned to the place where he did not return for several days, a very hidden and narrow place in the sewer, which was equipped with phantom magic to prevent others from seeing and small animals from coming in and making trouble, don't look at it as a wall, in fact, if you reach out and touch it, people can enter.
Inside, the familiar setting of the scene comes into view, like a mad scientist's laboratory, with all the research items on the platform, all kinds of materials scattered randomly, and unsightly things appear.
Calmly, John silently walked over to the hanger where the sterilizer gloves and masks were placed, and the big white coat, and changed them all, even when he was still in a lich state, John demanded that he be completely hygienic.
Putting on his last gloves, John came to a stone bed with nothing, and a complete set of dissecting utensils was placed near this stone bed, and he picked up a knife knife and played a knife flower in his hand, and there was no trace of emotion in the eyes on the mask.
"I've almost recovered more than half of my ability, so I think I can use it."
As he spoke, he reached into the void that unfolded beside him.
"Poof" a human corpse was thrown by him on a hard stone bed, and after John straightened the corpse, he used a knife to cut off the flesh from his body piece by piece.
Feeling that one hand was not very convenient, he stopped what he was doing, and groped in the void again, and after a while, he pulled out an arm that almost fit him, slashed it off, and cut off all the flesh on this arm, and then put the hand that was only white bones on the severed arm.
Under the healing power of magic, the bones are perfectly stitched together, but the only fly in the ointment is that there is no flesh, only a skeleton remains, and there is a slight asymmetrical feeling.
Just when John was confused about this, he decided whether to put some meat on it, there was a commotion in his arm, and under John's gaze, the flesh on his arm actually grew back, and slowly turned back into a white arm full of vitality.
For this performance, John attributed it to the credit of this mud, but he didn't expect that there would be this kind of function, and it seems that he can cut off his hand in the future without worrying about whether it will grow flesh.
Before, he didn't grow flesh, he was like a bone, and suddenly he became like this, and John didn't get used to it, but now that the problem has been solved, let's finish the work at hand first.
The new arm of the sports movement, constantly stretching his fingers, trying to make him more closely related to the body, because it is newly installed, the command of consciousness transmission has not yet made the arm respond immediately, there is still some delay, only need to adapt to the time is enough.
The lich's body structure is so strange, what is impossible for humans to do, he can do it, and he can still be alive and kicking when he changes his head and hands, this may be a more advanced existence of humans, of course, just talking and playing.
After the novice's control reached John's approval, he felt that he could, so he focused entirely on the half-finished corpse in front of him, tomorrow is the deadline, and today's work must be completed by tomorrow.
John is not a lich who likes to gamble, he only thinks that his luck is not good, he prefers a certain amount to possibility, good luck or something, the deadline for the ice flower to bloom will officially start tomorrow, it is likely to be tomorrow, it is also likely to be the day after tomorrow, etc., in short, fate is impermanent, no one can predict this, so John asked himself to complete it before tomorrow.
It was up to him whether the plan would succeed or not, and John would never waste the opportunity in his own hands.
With a nervous mood, John got busy and put his whole heart on it.
At this time, John didn't know that there was a big event happening outside that shook the whole city, although there were also his reasons, but more of the princess was taken captive, this situation is enough to prove its seriousness, the whole city has entered an unprecedented state of security, refusing to enter and exit, and also closing the city gates, the Knights of Light are all dispatched, and the major nobles also send their own people to search for the whereabouts of the princess in their own ways.
"What about people?!"
"Sorry, I can't find it!"
In the face of the blonde man's almost angry voice, the trembling members could only report with insufficient confidence.
"A bunch of rubbish!"
Karum couldn't help but curse and punched the sunken table.
