Chapter Thirty-Seven: Another Demon!
In front of me is a house that looks ordinary, a little taller than the nearby houses, and not so high that it is unacceptable, and it still belongs to the category of "unpopular houses".
This house is the hiding place of Aldrich, the king of beggars.
Of course, he did not hide inside the house, according to the report of the masses in Chaoyang District, this guy dug a hole under the house, which was connected to the abandoned underground passage underground.
This underground passage is said to have been dug at the beginning of the establishment of the City of Thorns, and it did not come in handy later, and over time, most of the passages have collapsed and been abandoned. The few that can still be used have become the residence of wanderers.
Aldrich hides in this labyrinthine underground passage.
Along the way, he found several corpses that were also lying on the ground, inexplicably dead, and Su Mo walked into the house without hindrance, and there were also several corpses in the house with the same dead appearance.
Above the ground floor of the kitchen, there is a large obvious hole that leads to the underground passage.
A pair of inconspicuous footprints can be seen leading to the hole.
Su Mo stared at the passage for a while, then raised his feet and looked at the inconspicuous shoe prints that were also left on the ground.
Silently, he moved the table next to him, turned it upside down, and pressed the table directly against the hole, and then kicked the cupboard directly and pressed it against the table.
After doing this, Su Mo turned around and walked out of the kitchen, walked towards the second floor of the house, kicked the door open, walked to the bed against the wall, and directly reached out and overturned the heavy bed, revealing the people inside.
"Aldrich?"
Su Mo looked at the thin man in front of him and asked.
The man's eyes widened and his mouth opened, as if he didn't quite understand why the other party found himself here.
You must know that he has been planning for a long time for this beautiful plan of "putting it to death and resurrecting it, and the golden cicada coming out of its shell".
He first hid, then released false news that he was hiding in the underground passages, leading his enemies into the labyrinthine passages inside.
Aldrich also prepared a corpse that closely resembled him in advance, as well as explosives, so that a dead soldier who was loyal to him would die with the enemy.
He hid in the "most dangerous and safest" place, waiting for the news of his death to spread, and then looking for an opportunity to sneak out of the City of Thorns completely.
It's a perfect plan! Why was it suddenly found?
Aldrich was not convinced.
"Looks like so, I have something to ask you." Su Mo said, he didn't bother to care if this guy was convinced or not.
"How did you find me?" Aldrich asked, even if he died, he would be a ghost.
It's too aggrieved to die in vain.
"It's just luck." Su Mo said, "Okay, now that I've answered your question, shouldn't you also be polite and answer my question?" ”
"Luck?" Aldrich repeated, obviously not believing Su Mo's words.
At this moment, a dull explosion came from downstairs, and the house shook slightly, and it didn't take long for Su Mo to hear the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and shattering.
"Are you divided into two soldiers?" Aldrich suddenly realized.
"Now do you ask me, or do I ask you?"
Su Mo's eyes narrowed, and he slapped Aldrich on the wall directly, "Can you cooperate, you have to do it, right?" ”
Aldrich, whose face made intimate contact with the wall, and finally ended in the victory of the wall, suddenly realized that now was not the time to satisfy his curiosity.
"What do you want to know?" Covering his bloody nose, Aldrich said in a sullen voice.
"I ......"
Su Mo had just spoken, and turned around suddenly.
I don't know when, a man in a black butler uniform appeared at the door of the room, wearing rimless glasses, one hand spread out in front of his eyes, and he opened his mouth and blew lightly on his palm.
A faint sweet smell suddenly spread through the room.
Su Mo's eyes widened slightly, and he clearly saw two butterflies flying out of his palms with the Chinese man's blowing movements, and after a shake, a butterfly had stopped on his shoulder.
The other butterfly landed on Aldrich behind him.
Aldrich's eyes widened the moment the butterfly landed on his head, and his skin turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye—a gray color like a dead man.
Su Mo's face also turned pale at the same time, and he turned around and squatted down to look at Aldrich.
Aldrich stretched out a hand with difficulty and grabbed Su Mo's shoulder: "Tell me, how did you know I was here." ”
It's hard to imagine that a dying person can say this complete sentence, and I have to say that this guy's curiosity is really heavy to a certain extent.
"It's really lucky."
In contrast, Su Mo behaved like a dying man, sitting on the ground weakly and waving his hand.
Aldrich's eyes widened, the hand that grabbed Su Mo's clothes loosened, and he fell to the ground weakly, looking dead. It is estimated that before he died, he still felt that Su Mo was lying to him.
But in fact, Su Mo really didn't lie to him.
The reason why he suddenly ran upstairs was because he was standing in the kitchen when he heard a little movement upstairs and planned to come and have a look.
As for the act of blocking the hole, it is to create a little trouble for the person who found this place first.
Now it seems that this trouble is not enough for the other party to "fight" with one hand, and after solving it easily, he came here, blew a breath, and directly poisoned Aldrich, and by the way, he poisoned Su Mo as well.
After saying the words "good luck", Su Mo's head hung slightly, and he was silent.
The man in the black butler uniform withdrew his hand with a cold face, straightened his clothes, turned around, and prepared to leave.
As soon as he turned around, several gunshots echoed through the room, far different from the flintlock pistols of this world.
The man looked down and looked at the extra holes in his body, showing a slightly displeased expression.
"Tsk, it's really another demon, I'll just say, who can kill so many people silently without anyone noticing." Su Mo stood up and put away the gun in his hand.
The man with glasses turned around, the wounds on his body and his clothes healed at the same time, he reached out and pushed his glasses, and said with a cold face: "The butler of the Wobs family, meet for the first time, in Lower Claude." ”
"It's a little different from what I think of Claude." Su Mo touched his chin and said something that Claude didn't understand.
"We'll see each other later."
Claude didn't care about Su Mo's words, he bowed slightly, and his body flashed and disappeared directly in place.
"Heh, did I let you go?"
Su Mo sneered and waved his right hand.
Claude had already rushed to the window, and his body suddenly stopped, and turned to look at Su Mo: "Your Excellency, aren't you going to let me go?" ”
The clothes on his arm tightened, and upon closer inspection, a thin, almost transparent thread was seen wrapping around his arm several times.
"I pretend to be forced and want to leave, naïve." Su Mo said.
The man in front of him - or the demon who claims to be Claude, he is the "person" who killed the Marquis of Monroe before Su Mo, the "person" who almost "wiped out" the Wobs family, and the murderer who killed Trenton's parents!
The men were dead in the same state as the other corpse in the room, Aldrich.
Of course, with Su Mo's degree of discipline, the main reason for leaving this man is not this, but that this guy is a demon.
Su Mo wanted to know if eating this demon would make up for his piece of paper.
Claude, who was "caught" by Su Mo, didn't talk much nonsense, his right hand turned into a hand knife, and he slashed directly at the thin line that tied his arm.
At the moment when he made this movement, spider silk suddenly appeared on his fingers, shining with a special light under the light of the room.
It's just that Claude's spider silk, which is enough to cut steel, cut on the concentric chains, only made an unpleasant noise, and did not directly cut the strange "thin thread" as Claude thought.
"Huh?"
Claude was slightly stunned, no longer bothered with the thin thread wrapped around his arm, and rushed directly towards Su Mo.
Since there is no way to get rid of it, then kill the opponent directly, which is the easiest way.
Seeing Claude rushing towards him, Su Mo's right hand fingers flicked slightly, and the almost transparent thin line suddenly changed, turning into a black chain the thickness of a thumb, spreading from Claude's arm like a poisonous snake, and the sharp diamond-shaped tip stabbed directly into Claude's chest.
For this special weapon that can hurt himself, Claude did not dare to slack off, and could only distract some of his energy to grasp the chain.
However, the moment his fingers touched the chains, the concentric chains instantly blurred, pierced through Claude's chest, and pierced into his heart.
Claude's movements stopped, his eyes fixed on Su Mo.
The other end of the chain, I don't know when, also pierced Su Mo's heart, connecting the two together.
"Good luck." Su Mo said to Claude, took out the pistol just now, aimed it at his head, and pulled the trigger.
A crisp gunshot echoed through the room.
Su Mo's body was tilted to the side, blood was left from his temples, but there was a strange smile on his face, and the scene looked terrifying.
Slowly regaining his feet, the wound on his head healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, squeezing the bullet out.
Claude knelt on the ground in front of him, one hand covering his heart, his face painful, and strange black lines began to spread on his face.
