Chapter 20: Undercurrents
Brother Shen walked out of the ladder and slowly walked into the third floor. The dim light here makes me uncomfortable, and I can't help frowning.
It's like a vampire running to a higher level and getting burned or even burned to death by too strong a light. High-level vampires can also feel uncomfortable when they enter the lower levels. It felt like being in an itchy area on the plateau.
"Hurry up and get out of this nasty place."
Rubbing his nose and trying his best to suppress this uncomfortable emotion, Brother Shen ran at full speed and rushed towards the direction of District Eleven. He intended to complete the Count's assignment as soon as possible, so that he could return to the first floor of comfort and enjoyment.
Originally, a week ago, the Count had already given the task. But because there was other work at hand, Brother Shen had delayed until now to carry it out urgently.
However, the target called Wang Li seems to be a bit interesting, a new baron can force that Xiu Ci to be helpless. Although the old guy doesn't have any great skills, his attainments in defense are still very admirable.
Along the way, Brother Shen made no secret of his domineering viscount aura. The monsters fled in panic like frightened birds. It took Brother Shen only three days to rush from the seventh district in the center of the third floor to the eleventh district in the eastern corner.
After stepping into the settlement, Brother Shen still did not hide his aura. This made the hillbillies around him look at him in awe. Although these waste-like newborns couldn't sense his specific rank, just the murderous aura that Brother Shen had been forming made them vaguely feel Brother Shen's strength.
"Hey, come here." Brother Shen casually pointed to a thin middle-aged man, undoubtedly hooking his fingers.
"Yes, what do you command?" The thin middle-aged man was still quite knowledgeable, and immediately ran forward obediently, apologizing and waiting for orders.
"Let me ask you, where is Han Shao's mansion?"
As soon as he heard this question, the thin middle-aged man's face couldn't help but change slightly. This made Brother Shen secretly realize that something was wrong, he grabbed the thin middle-aged man in one hand, and without saying a word, he reached out and gouged out one of the other party's eyes.
"Ah...... It hurts, my eyes! The thin middle-aged man covered his bloody left eye socket and let out a miserable howl like killing a pig.
"I'm dead of noise, I don't want to lose even my other eye, so I'll answer my question honestly." Brother Shen used a lot of force in his hand, pulled the middle-aged man closer to him, squinted his eyes and asked, "What happened to Han Shao's mansion?" ”
"My lord, it's none of my business!" The thin middle-aged man had a handful of tears and snot in pain, crying and shouting and begging for mercy again and again.
Brother Shen showed a hint of disgust on his face, and he stretched out his other hand to gouge out the rest of his eyes.
"No, my lord, I said I'll say!"
The middle-aged man was scared and hurriedly succumbed. But Brother Shen ignored it, and as soon as his fingers were forced, his only remaining eye was gouged out, and he naturally threw it into his mouth. I chewed and swallowed it like eating grapes.
"Maniac!"
"Run!"
"What about the Ye'an team? Hurry up and call the Ye'an team! ”
The surrounding people were shocked, and they scattered and fled with a cry of surprise. Brother Shen impatiently grabbed a young woman casually, and asked in a cold voice, "Say, what's wrong with Han Shao's mansion?" ”
"A week ago, the great sinner Wang Li not only killed Han Shao, but also broke into his lair, ransacked his residence, and even the old housekeeper was poisoned."
"What?"
Brother Shen's eyes widened in disbelief, barely believing his ears. Han Shao's waste died when he died, but that old guy who was as difficult as a turtle was so unclear? What kind of freak is this Wang Li!
"Don't kill me, sir, I've already said what I know." The woman was timid and begged for mercy again and again.
"Lead the way!" Brother Shen let go of his hand and gave the order without doubt.
"Yes...... But I don't know where Han Shao's mansion is? ”
"Don't know? What's the use of you! ”
Brother Shen's face flashed with anger, and he wanted to take out the woman's eyes.
"Stop!"
At this moment, a loud shout rang out. Brother Shen turned his head to look, only to see a man in a black uniform with a strong body like a bear rushing towards this side angrily.
"It's Barton!"
"Patton, the captain of the Ye'an team!"
"We have salvation."
As soon as the sturdy man came, the people around him suddenly showed a look of relief. But as soon as the person concerned saw him, his eyes widened, and he spat out two words in a dry voice: "Viscount!" ”
Suddenly, the temperature at the scene seemed to drop sharply to a cold point. The people around looked at Brother Shen in disbelief as if they were stupid.
"And a little bit of vision." Brother Shen threw away the woman casually like garbage, pointed at the man and commanded, "Lead the way, Han Shao's mansion." ”
"Yes!" The man didn't dare to resist at all, and led the way according to the order with his head bowed.
"No, husband, you can't go!" The woman who was thrown out by the man just now panicked, got up in a panic, ran to the man, and grabbed his sleeve.
"Lili, don't worry, this adult is just letting me lead the way." The man reassured the young woman, then pushed her away ruthlessly, striding away from the meteor.
Brother Shen didn't bother to pay attention to these trivial things, and yawned slowly behind the strong man.
"Here we are."
It didn't take long for a delicate stone villa to appear in front of Brother Shen. He always felt that his throat was a little dry, so he raised his hand to pull the strong man who led the way, and then took out the other party's eyes and threw them into his mouth to quench his thirst.
"You demon, Wang Li won't let you go!" The strong man was so hard that he was gouged out of his eyes, and he could bear the pain without snorting.
This made Brother Shen a little admired this big man, but that's all. The eyes are an important organ for vampires to absorb light energy, and if they are not critical, they are also important weaknesses. Especially these newborns who don't even have the ability to regenerate, once they lose their eyes, it is equivalent to ordinary people losing their mouths to eat, and they are not far from death.
In fact, not only newborns, but also high-ranking vampires can lose their eyes as a painful thing. Because they all had to endure hunger for a long time before the feeding organs regenerated. This is also the reason why Brother Shen likes to gouge out people's eyes. He accidentally lost both eyes in a battle, and after feeling the painful torture, he fell in love with imposing it on others.
Ignoring the blind and strong man who was certain to die, Brother Shen kicked open the door of the mansion and walked in slowly.
As soon as he entered the door, Brother Shen couldn't help frowning. I saw that the gorgeous mansion of the past was in a mess, as if it had been a thief. Slowly glancing around, Brother Shen's gaze suddenly fixed on the floor of the living room.
There, there was a puddle of black ash in the shape of a human. A tattered butler's uniform was falling on top of the black ashes.
Walking lightly to the black ash, Brother Shen stretched out his hand and twisted it up a little, his face condensed slightly: "It seems that this old guy died from a laser weapon!" ”
This discovery made him secretly surprised. Brother Shen, who was very familiar with the old butler, knew how difficult it was to break through that turtle shell and hit this old thing with a laser weapon.
As far as he knew, there were only two ways to do that. One is to crush with absolute force and forcibly break the shield. The other is to simply deplete the old butler's energy, so that the shield is self-defeating.
Standing up and taking a closer look at the scene, Brother Shen immediately decided that the death of the old housekeeper belonged to the second type.
In this not very spacious living room, there are traces of fights everywhere. In other words, the old butler went through a long battle before he died. If the enemy had the strength to break the shield directly, he would not have been entangled with the old butler for so long.
"How can a mere baron consume a viscount alive?" Brother Shen understood it and was full of interest in this Wang Li, whom he had never met. He couldn't help licking the corners of his mouth and muttered, "I don't know what this genius baron's eyes will taste like." ”
"Dididi!"
Suddenly, an old phone rang in Brother Shen's arms. He flattened his mouth, reached out and pulled out a satellite phone from his bosom, and lazily pressed the connect button.
"Brother Shen, don't go to the third floor. I found Wang Li's whereabouts under the second floor, you can go to the second floor to surround him. ”
"My Earl, I'm sorry, it seems that I may not be able to handle this Wang Li alone."
"What's wrong?"
"I'm on the third floor now, Lao Xiuci is dead, and he was consumed alive by that Wang Li!"
"What? You're not kidding me, are you? ”
"It's true, why don't I bring some of the ashes of Lao Xiuci back to your old man's house?"
"No need, then you can go back to the first floor first, and I'll lend you the light rain first. According to Shuji, the strength of this Wang Li is speed. Guangyu was just able to restrain him a little. ”
"That's true, but the old guy's protective relics are now in Wang Li's hands. I'm afraid that ordinary laser weapons will not be able to take effect on him. ”
"Rest assured, being promoted from baron to viscount is not an easy matter. Xiuji's protective relic treasure is a second-order, and even if he gets it, he can't use it. ”
"Since you say so, then do it."
Hanging up the phone, Brother Shen's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of excitement.
Light rain, that old guy is really reluctant!
Even if they are all second-order relics, there is a difference. According to power, utility, rarity, etc., among all the treasures of the same level, there are some excellent ones.
And Guangyu is a very practical second-order superlative treasure. All along, the old guy has been a personal collection like a baby. Unexpectedly, because of a small baron Wang Li, he was willing to lend it to him.
