Chapter XXVII
The bright moon is in the sky, the night is high, and the summer breeze is like a gentle willow, blowing a few hairs in the autumn season, and then turning into a comfort that penetrates the bottom of the heart. He yawned slightly, moved his slightly tired body, and suddenly had a feeling of wanting to stop and sleep.
Third Avenue Drenke, the corner of a dilapidated building, was the third time he had been to this place in five days.
As one of the city's most prosperous districts, even when it was nearly midnight, the streets were filled with white incandescent lights, a chaotic crowd of pedestrians, and the sound of noisy conversation in his ears, all of which he had seen the other day in the midst of a jungle of steel and concrete, day after day, as if it would be repeated for ten or twenty years.
At this moment, the only thing that is different from the previous one is the subway station in the distance, which has long since turned off the lights and is now surrounded by a ring of barriers and a large number of police.
The steering wheel turned in his hand, and the car drove at a constant speed in front of the station, Ji Qiu turned his head to look at the two men in black who were leaning against the corner smoking in the distance under the rearview mirror, and his heart condensed slightly, and he turned the car into an alley not far from the station without stopping.
There is no doubt that for tonight's operation, the blood clan did not hesitate to use their infiltration power, mobilized a large number of police officers to block the entrance and exit of the entire railway, and planted all kinds of whistles outside the station, including the two men in black he saw, which belonged to the scope of the bright whistle, as for the hidden whistles hidden in other places, Ji Qiu estimated that they had already blended into the crowds or shops on the street.
This is a lore against all members of the wolf clan, and although it is a little hasty, it is not 'sophisticated'. According to the information he got from the communication machine and the arrangement of the people present, the first team of blood clan members who acted as the vanguard should have entered the station, if their sneak attack was successful, then the werewolves' inferiority would inevitably fall into a new trough again, and if the operation failed, then the next wolf clan would have to face the group of police officers and blood warriors who were now surrounded by guns and bullets around the station.
A simple police yellow line completely isolated the crowd flowing outside the station from the murderous massacre of the underground world, the blood clan's determination to this operation is undoubted, and it is not clear whether they have a follow-up move Ji Qiu, but he knows that the bigger the scene this time, the greater the chance of Victor appearing.
Just like an ordinary passerby, Ji Qiu drove the long white sedan that was prying from the street and turned into the alley facing the street, and walked forward along the dim road for a while, and after he was away from the street, he pulled the valve with a brake, stretched out his head to look around, and then quickly buckled the car door with one hand, bent sideways and grabbed the manhole cover on the left side of the car, and pushed it forward hard against the ground, pushing the cover out of a semicircular gap.
The extremely pungent smell of salted fish accompanied by a cold wind blowing directly on his face, Ji Qiu shrank his neck, and suddenly regretted that he didn't stop on the road to buy a gas mask just now. Shaking his head, he didn't have time to think about it, he lifted the big knife in his right hand, lowered his head and shrank down, and half of his body instantly fell into the sewer against the mouth of the well.
With his feet on the escalator, he gently closed the door with his hand raised, and then pulled the manhole cover back to its original position, and after two seconds, all but a small car parked on the side of the road in the alley was back to its original state.
After climbing down the escalator for a while, Ji Qiu suddenly let go of his left arm, and the whole person fell down two or three meters rapidly, and then stepped into a puddle of flowing water with a snap of his legs.
Tie the knife to the back with a strip of cloth, and then touch out the spotlight flashlight from behind, press your thumb, a beam of strong light instantly condensed and hit the stone wall covered with green moss in the distance, the sudden change seemed to startle some reactions in the dark, in a complicated rustling sound, a rapid black shadow crossed by Ji Qiu's side, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed it, there was a click, a viscous liquid suddenly burst out of his palm, spread his hand and looked, a black cockroach four or five centimeters long was lying on his back on his palm, Several pairs of sharp limbs and feet trembled to death, and the thin brown hairs were almost audible in the bright light.
"!" With a secret curse, Ji Qiu shook his arm, raised his sleeve to cover his mouth and nose, and shone the flashlight in a circle, and then seemed to see a direction, stepping on the water and raising his legs to walk forward.
A greasy stomping sensation kept rising from the floor, and an unknown liquid that was so thick that it was almost bubbling flowed forward along his trouser tube, Ji Qiu raised his head, trying not to pay attention to the-like strip of objects that kept floating beside him, and his feet slightly sped up.
This was a relatively hidden sewer entrance and exit that he had found after nearly twenty minutes of walking underground with the crooked neck man after the shooting melee a few days ago, and finally relying on the terrain markings. In that nearly twenty minutes, the smell of this place, which was stronger than the mixing of public places and garbage heaps, gave him an extremely unforgettable memory.
If it weren't for the blood clan surrounding the front and back entrances and exits of the entire subway station, he wouldn't want to go to this place again.
Judging by the route in his mind and the topography of the surface, after walking for a few minutes with the help of the light source, a cool breeze suddenly blew in front of him, dispelling a bit of the stench beside him, and when he looked up, a corner with a slight impression in his memory had appeared not far ahead.
Where there is wind, there is a road, and the sudden change made Ji Qiu's spirit instantly lift, and the pace under his feet accelerated again, and after a few seconds, the originally rough and dim stone wall gradually became clear in his eyes.
When he approached quickly, in a trance, as if the train was turning out at a rapid speed along the curve of the subway, a sudden bright light suddenly lit up from the other side of the corner, and leisurely hit the wall not far away beside him.
Ji Qiu's footsteps flickered, and the next moment, as if conventional, the two rays of light went out at the same time, crackled, and the entire sewer fell into a state of darkness again.
The body was instantly pressed against the wall, Ji Qiu's right hand clasped the flashlight upside down, his thumb pressed, and with a bang, a thin sharp knife bounced up from the end of the flashlight, and his left arm was raised flatly, Ji Qiu recalled the distance from the corner to the corner at the last glance just now, and quietly walked forward while groping.
His feet were soaked in the foul sewage, and the section of the ground close to the wall seemed to be more slippery than other places, and most of the messy floating objects were also gathered here, and between his legs, Ji Qiu only felt that one after another sticky liquid of unknown nature stuck to his shoes and socks along the water, like a pile of blocks, slowly climbing up his trouser legs.
Time and thought seemed to slow down at this moment, and in the suffocating darkness, except for the occasional sound of running water and strange fluttering, the rest was ghostly silence.
Suddenly, a strange touch came from his feet, like a micro-rope flowing downstream, but the trembling sensation clearly told Ji Qiu that it was a living object.
There are snakes!
His heart tightened, and before he could react, at the same time, his flat left hand also touched something that had been extended from front of him.
Dry, warm, subtle but hard as steel, the familiar touch of the oval shape instantly made Ji Qiu recognize the reality of the tubular object in his hand.
What tube? The barrel, of course.
