Chapter 36: The City of Dead Ashes (1)
Clouds loomed over London, and the occasional flash of lightning signalled that there would be no quiet weather ahead, and the horse-drawn carriage sped across the asphalt road and the Houses of Parliament were within reach
"Stop, stop," Watson shouted twice, and hurriedly beckoned the coachman to stop, where Redmous and a couple of policemen were already waiting on the side of the road
"Hey, old friend, it's really time for you to come" Redmous greeted Watson and Qiuchen as they got off the bus, and from his frowning brow, it could be seen that his heart was not at peace
"How's it going? Where is Sherlock Holmes? Watson shook his hand, and then looked up for Sherlock Holmes, but there were only a lot of policemen in sight, but there were no Sherlock Holmes
"He's in, I haven't contacted him yet, it's not good now" Before Redmous could explain, a policeman ran over to Redmous and whispered a few words, as if something was going on, "Abel you help me explain, I'll come back later" Holding down his hat, the sheriff followed the policeman and left, from the words that the two of them said as they walked, Qiuchen vaguely heard the word coup
"What the hell is going on?"
"We've reported to the royal family," Abel gasped, looking nervous, "but now we've lost contact with the two barracks around London!" ”
"What!? How can it be! ”
"Wait, Prime Minister?" Qiuchen then remembered that the country is now the prime minister, and "wouldn't it be good to go to Downing Street to find him"
"Prime Minister?" Able laughed twice, then turned around and pointed to the parliament building, "It's all in there."
"Fire! Hurry up! ”
The fierce gunfire echoed in the barracks, and the fact that there was such a fierce sound before the invention of the automatic rifle shows the number of soldiers in the camp, which was originally responsible for the security of the London area, but now they have encountered an unexpected enemy
Flame arms, scarlet eyes, and dark robes hunt in the wind, "Is there only such a human being in this world?"
"Sir, bullets are useless to him!!" The soldier's exclamation woke up the officer, who was already a little crazy: "What to do!" ”
"Keep shooting! Don't stop! "In the camp, the corpses that fell to the ground may no longer be called corpses, but pieces of flesh one by one, and the bloody killing has even caused some soldiers to have a nervous breakdown, not that no one wants to escape, but the red flames and charred corpses around the side of the camp have already told them the end of their escape
"Come on, struggle, make this world crazier!" Hax's handsome face became so hideous, like a death proclamation, he swung his claws and rushed towards the soldiers
On the other side, the killing was over, and the whole camp was strewn with corpses, and the giant scythe was pulled from the corpses, and the tall women slowly walked to the center of the camp with blood flowing, where a rather sci-fi mechanical pillar was stuck in the ground
"Are you going to drive the whole world into madness?"
Looking up at London, a huge dark cloud has completely enveloped the entire city
"Anyway, let's lock this place off first, at least we can't send the people into a panic" Abel covered his head with his hands, it seemed that the recent events had made the policemen very nerve-wracking, and while he was talking, the surrounding police had begun to persuade the people in the area to leave, as for the reason, it was their own business
"Good idea, uh, it's raining?" Qiuchen looked at the water droplets falling from the sky, and waved his hand, "Is there a way to let us in, no, I'll just go in, Watson, you stay here"
"Me"
"Don't talk nonsense, you stay here and help them, police, help me lead the way" Ignoring Watson's protests, Qiuchen turned and walked towards the parliament building
"This way," another agent walked over, "The main entrance to the Houses of Parliament is now closed, but we found a sewer that leads directly to the interior of the building."
"Sewers? An escape route for those MPs? ”
"We don't know, but our people haven't fully explored it yet, be careful when you go inside, that place is still what we found from the construction drawings of the entire building."
"I see"
Looking at Qiuchen's distant back, Watson let out a long sigh of helplessness, "This guy is so arbitrary, I don't even know what to say."
"I just hope this rain doesn't fall too violently" Agent Able squinted and looked up at the sky, the clouds are not too thick now, at least some of the sunlight can still pass through the clouds, but the clouds coming from all sides make him not optimistic at all "How can the clouds be like this, moving from all directions to one place, I really don't know how those experts should explain it, this is not scientific"
"There are too many unscientific things," Redmous walked back with his umbrella on his head, "Hey, where is that Oriental?" ”
"He's in, but it shouldn't be a problem," the agent explained
"Okay," Redmus tightened his leather coat, "Windsor Castle has asked us to be more vigilant there, but I always feel like we're going to focus on this place, but the commissioner has already brought people there, really, how can we become police officers instead of the army in the end, maybe we should ask for a raise?" ”
It's a pity that Redmousse's humor didn't elicit a response from several other people, who all looked at the street in the distance with wide eyes
"Mr. Sheriff, perhaps we should inform the boys to be on alert," said Agent Able, with some palpitations, as in the distance, from the mist scattered by the rain, one figure after another emerged from it, approaching the Capitol
They were also seen by the surrounding police, and there was some commotion among the police as the number of people gathered increased
"Don't come near here, it's blocked!"
"Stand back, go all back!"
"Get out of here, or you'll be in the way of official business!"
The warnings came and went, but those people turned a deaf ear, these people were all in rags, as if they had just come out of the slums, these ordinary people who would not disobey the police orders before were now like a change, step by step towards the police blockade, the sound of many people stepping on the asphalt road seemed to hit people's hearts, and some police officers couldn't help but start to retreat
"Boys, get your guns out!" Redmous took out his pistol and fired a shot into the sky, "Don't back off, are these guys just scaring you!" ”
"But sir, they're just civilians" Some of the policemen were still a little shaken
"Or maybe a bunch of thugs! Guard this place, no unrelated personnel are allowed to enter, and if necessary, you can use force! ”
Inside the Houses of Parliament
"Mr. Duke, this is your last chance, don't fail~" Moriarty, who wore a high hat and a white goatee, sat in a small room in the Parliament building, looking at Blackwood, who was wrapped in a black cloak except for his head
"Of course, there are already quite a few members of the council who have taken refuge in me, especially after I have shown them strength," Blackwood always gritted his teeth as if he were holding back the pain, "but you, with your subordinates, can you delay enough, if you fail, the master will not show mercy to your men"
"Hehehe, of course not" Moriarty laughed confidently twice, "My plan is foolproof, but you"
Knock knock--
A knock on the door interrupted Moriarty's words
"Come in"
A slightly obese middle-aged man in a tuxedo slowly pushed open the door, glanced at the two of them with some awe, and then lowered his head and said to Blackwood, "Lord Duke, the time is up"
"Let's go, Mr. Duke~" still had his signature smirk on his face, which made Blackwood want to punch him
"I hope you can still laugh like this in the future, Mr. Professor," Blackwood turned to leave, and the middle-aged councillor waited for Blackwood to walk out the door before raising his head, bowing his head and smiling at Moriarty, before closing the door and leaving
"What a self-righteous fellow" Waiting for the two to leave, Moriarty snorted disdainfully, in his eyes, these so-called parliamentarians and bureaucrats are nothing more than a bunch of rubbish, and Blackwood, who counted on those guys, "The head of the waste, the greatness of wisdom, how can you understand it" He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the cloud-covered London, the dense raindrops hit the windows fiercely, like a crazy orgy in a storm
Click!
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, shining on an abandoned log cabin in London and on Naia's somewhat slightly intoxicated face
"Crazy humans, crazy cities, what a wonderful place, maybe this will become the second nameless city? You say, Hasta."
"Compared to this, I care more about the location of Lalayer" In the gloomy room, the yellow cloak floats out of the sky "When the stars are in the right position, Laleye will float from the bottom of the sea, Cthulhu will wake up, and bring havoc to the earth This is what I collected, maybe Cthulhu intends to do something on the earth"
"Is that traitor at the bottom of the sea" sinister smile, Qiuchen will never recognize this as Naia's smile "It's really hard for you to stay on Earth for so long and not be discovered, I will let the deep diver go, he can't escape"
"Is Lord Azathoth planning to wipe out the Old Dominators?" The yellow cloak slowly approached Naia, and huge tentacles poked out of the cloak, the Old Ruler and the Old God, Hasta was Cthulhu's sworn enemy, but he was still the Old Dominator
"Of course not, Lord of the Deep Sky Star Sea, Lord Azathoth is just planning to clean up the traitors, not to mention, isn't it a good thing for you, who represent the wind, to be defeated?" Naia nodded slightly, then looked at the sky outside as lightning flashed again
"Hehe, I hope so" The figure of the king in yellow slowly disappeared, leaving only an endless aura of terror around the house
(It's going to burn!) Watch me kill five times! )
