Chapter 119. Underground Demon King (2)
"Little shopkeeper!" Before the Ding Lin people entered, the sound had already arrived, and as the glass door of the tea house was pushed open, several familiar old friends appeared outside the store. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
I hurriedly got up, rubbed my hands with a signature smile on my face, and said, "Officer Ding, Chief Hokkaido, which gust of wind blew you two here!" ”
I gave the tea table to the two of them, and instructed Yuewu to prepare two cups of strong tea for serving, Ding Lin and the Hokkaido people had solemn faces, especially the Hokkaido people, their faces looked extremely pale, as if they were many years old, and the whole person seemed to be very weak.
Ding Lin took the fragrant tea handed by Moon Dance and looked at me with a blink of an eye: "The little shopkeeper knows that in the past few days, there have often been cases of people falling into the sewers in the provincial capital, right?" ”
I took a sip of tea, nodded lightly, and said, "Well, I said this on the news, why did you say that so many people fell into the well this year, and the municipal department should review it well."
These two guys looked like they were coming to me for help, and although I was ready to make a move, I didn't want to make a loss-making deal, so I pretended not to know.
Ding Lin said with a dark face: "I'm afraid this matter is not a problem of the municipal department!" ”
The Hokkaido man leaned back on the back of his chair and said weakly, "Little post officer, something big has happened in the provincial capital!" ”
It turned out that the clouds had caused the water level of the river to rise, and the domestic garbage washed down from the upstream had accumulated in a corner of the river, and the municipal sanitation department sent two sanitation workers to clear the dredging.
Fortunately, although the water level rises, the place where the garbage is silted up is not the main river, but a tributary with a shallow water level just up to the waist of people, two workers take a sanitation boat, brave the rain on the river to salvage the garbage on the river surface, and the garbage floating on the river surface is almost cleaned up, a white object was found by the sanitation workers hidden in a grass by the river.
"What is this white thing, it looks so sleek, not like stone".
Out of curiosity, a sanitation worker fished out the white stone with a net in his hand, but when he saw the true face of the so-called "stone", he startled the two sanitation workers.
The two did not hesitate to report to the police, the homicide case has always been the most concerned by the police, the police arranged a large number of police forces to carry out a dragnet search on the riverside, the so-called number of people is powerful, and soon the police found another human bone at an underground drainage outlet.
It can be seen that these bones were washed out of this drain, and the skull was washed into the river and then washed downstream by the floodwater, and the focus of the search was shifted from the river bank to the underground drain, and the police sent a search team of three people into the dark sewer with a flashlight.
The drain is a concrete passage that can accommodate two people walking side by side, and in less than ten minutes they walk through the ankle-spilled sewage into the complex urban pipe network located beneath the city.
In the pre-Qing Dynasty, the provincial city was a leased city managed by foreign countries, so the underground drainage system built by foreigners was much more developed than that of other cities, and the drainage pipes inside alone could accommodate one person.
The three police officers walked slowly in the dark pipe, the further they went, the stronger the rotten stench in the air, and after turning a corner and a dark hole, the three of them walked unconsciously in the dark for almost an hour, only to find that they could no longer find their way back.
"How can this be, I carved a few numbers every time I turned a corner, and the marks disappeared when I walked!" A young police officer, holding up a flashlight and scrutinizing the rusty surface of the pipe, spoke in a tone of anxiety.
"I also remember that we just turned around from here, why is there no way?" Another police officer saw that the road was gone, replaced by a blocked pile of red dirt, and reached out to stroke the dirt in confusion.
As soon as he put his hand on it, he jumped away as if he had been electrocuted and shouted, "This is not soil, it is soft!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the red substance blocking the pipe suddenly began to squirm, and the three police officers quickly pulled out their pistols and aimed them nervously at the constantly wriggling object.
The thing blocking the pipe was like a mass of red flesh, which was constantly rolling in place, and when the red flesh was finished, a large mouth full of fangs appeared in front of the three of them.
"Bang!" One of the three elderly police officers struck first, pulling the trigger at the first time, and the dense gunfire echoed in the closed pipe, constantly hitting the fragile eardrums of the three people violently.
Although the sound of gunfire shook the ears of the three people, but it also made the monster in front of them painful, and they had to quickly retract, seeing that the road was open, the three of them quickly retreated at full speed, and the strange monster on the way to retreat suddenly attacked from other pipelines several times, but they were all repelled by random shots, and finally, the three escaped from the foul-smelling and stuffy pipe.
"There's a monster in the underground drain?" I sat down at the counter and pondered.
"Does that monster look a bit like a snake or an octopus's tentacles?" I hurriedly asked.
The pale Hokkaido man suddenly stopped the hot tea that was about to reach his mouth, raised his head, looked at me with a pair of eyes that were still flashing with horror, and said, "The little post official guessed right, that thing should be a very powerful octopus demon."
Standing beside me, Moon Dance looked at the Hokkaido people curiously and asked, "How is the Michicho so sure it's an octopus demon?" ”
The teacup was gently placed on the table, and the Hokkaido people laughed miserably, "Because, I just finished dealing with that monster!" ”
It turned out that after the police found the monster in the city's underground pipe network, they immediately blocked the pipes all over the city, and then invited experts to investigate.
"I didn't expect that the experts who were invited to help with the investigation turned out to be from Hokkaido!" I looked at the old Taoist priest sitting in front of me with some surprise, I really didn't expect that he was also invited by the police.
The Hokkaido man sighed, "That thing is very unusual."
It turned out that after discovering the monster underground, the armed police force went out to search for monsters underground, but the underground pipe network is intricate, and some drainage pipes are even connected to some of the air-raid shelters dug when preparing for the war, and now the air-raid shelters have long been abandoned, and the relevant design drawings have long been found, without the guidance of the map, no one dares to rush into it, at this time, the upright Hokkaido people stood up.
The Hokkaido people refused to be accompanied by others, and walked alone into the gloomy underground pipes with torches and exorcist swords, and it was raining heavily outside, and it was raining inside the pipes, and because some of the pipes were in disrepair, the one-person-high pipes were like water curtain holes, and dense water droplets fell from the top of their heads, and after a while, the clothes of the Hokkaido people were wet.
The old Taoist priest waded forward in the gloomy and cold pipe, the more he walked, the more he could feel the chill in his heart, the stronger he was, walking and walking, the Hokkaido man suddenly heard a strange sound behind him, he quickly drew out the exorcism sword and turned around, only to see a "wall of meat" blocking his way back.
A large red lump of meat is like a wall of meat, filling the wide pipe that is one person high, the surface of the meat piece looks very smooth, the Hokkaido man stretched out his hand to stroke the meat ball in front of him, the hand felt smooth and greasy, very cold, suddenly, the meat ball in his hand surged uneasily, at the same time, the Hokkaido man was surprised to find that the exorcism sword in his hand emitted a slight red light, and a red talisman mark was reflected on the steel sword body.
The people of Hokkaido were shocked when they saw the red light of the exorcism sword in their hands, and generally only those who cultivated to the level of the Great Demon King could make their hundreds of years old exorcism sword emit a vigilant red light.
