Chapter 44: Fragments of Memory
The male vampire who followed the high dive also arrived at this time, and when the high dive chased the human wolf, he also followed the chase, but his speed was a little worse than the high dive, which made him a little surprised.
He didn't see the man-wolf turn into black ash in the fire, he thought that Gao Qian hadn't caught up: "Did you run? Forget it, even if the man-wolf is in human form, few people can keep up with the speed." We still have a dozen more people who need help, come with me, scavengers. ”
Gao Qian didn't answer, he squinted at the end of the street. He couldn't see far in the Infernal Realm, not even with all his five senses. But he clearly felt that something was there.
"What are you looking at?" asked the male vampire.
"Big piece of shit," replied High Dive, "huge." He unconsciously replied in the same tone as the homeless man he had seen the scavenger for the first time.
The male vampire looked nervous and took a step back, "So what should we do?"
"I don't ...... Ahem, go find Li Si and ask him to take everyone away. ”
"What about you?"
"I'm a scavenger, remember?"
"Okay, be careful. The male vampire turned and left quickly.
Gao Qian took a deep breath and clenched the dagger in his hand.
He felt the thing approaching, and in the empty streets, the thing was approaching him with a leisurely pace, like a cat and mouse, but he still couldn't see anything.
Is it invisible? Damn, what the hell is it? It can burn the swift and ferocious man-wolf into black ash with a hand, at least one level higher than the man-wolf's combat power, if not more. What was he going to do? What did the homeless man do?
Gao Qian recalled the appearance of the homeless man, who stood steadily in the middle of the street, raising the dagger in his hand at the invisible monster in front of him. A phrase came to mind at this time, and he didn't even know when he had heard it.
"In the name of the true God, I command you to appear. He heard his own cold voice.
Boom, a wave of heat suddenly hit his face, and at that moment, Gao Qian felt as if he was in a furnace, and his skin seemed to have been ignited, and he suddenly threw himself to the side, rolled on the ground a few times, and got up and threw himself into an alley. The blazing wind behind him caught up.
When was the last time you ran so hard?
More than a decade ago?
Although it is not a good time to reminisce, the fragments of childhood are like being hooked by a hook, dragged out of the deepest part of memory.
At that time, he and his little brother were known as the little three heroes and five righteousness, and they liked to carry bricks and steel bars in their schoolbags to cause trouble everywhere and fight unevenly. However, there were also times when he kicked the iron plate, and once he was chased by an invisible object and ran out of several streets, and his friends ran away, leaving him alone to be forced into the corner of the supermarket wall.
The thing stared at him silently in the dark, the smell of foul earth from the ground, he couldn't see it but could feel the fiery temperature on its body, the hair on his forehead was curled up, his face hurt like blisters, everything he could throw in his hand had been thrown out, a foot-long steel bar, half a brick, and a school bag.
In the end, he stuck to the corner of the wall and his eyes widened, and he thought that even if he died, at least he had to see how he died.
At this moment, a burly man suddenly appeared beside him. Gao Qian didn't see how the strong man appeared. The strong man, dressed in the navy blue canvas overalls that plumbers often wear, quickly opened the fire hydrant box hanging on the wall, pulled out the hose inside, and shouted to him while installing the spray gun faucet: "Connect the water valve, open the valve." ”
The idea that it was illegal to use a fire hydrant without permission only stopped in Gao Qian's mind for half a second, and instead he shouted excitedly: "I wanted to do this for a long time!!"
In the process of Gao Qian's busy connection to the water valve, he saw the big man holding the fire faucet, standing steadily not far in front of him, the pressure of the heat made it difficult for Gao Qian to breathe, the strong man seemed to not mind, neither urging Gao Qian, nor looking afraid.
The moment he opened the water valve, the hose at his feet jumped violently, and the thin high dive was tripped and fell to the ground, his forehead hit the ground, and the pain was terrible, and when he touched it with his hand, there was blood.
He just lay on the ground, watching the strong man with a fire water gun, like a Terminator holding a Gatling gun, brazenly pressing towards the enemy step by step. And under the huge column of water in front of him, the form of a monster gradually appeared.
It was a giant canine-like monster the size of a house, covered in black scales, and between the armor pieces, there were fiery red flames, and under the impact of the huge current, those flames dimmed, freeing up large white steam. Then the strong man threw the fire water gun in his hand and pulled out a dagger with a serrated blade from under his ribs......
Gao Qian watched the strong man move and jump in fascination, and he solved the giant beast with his hands and feet, as easily as slaughtering cattle and sheep. Then he waded through the water and walked towards the high dive.
The high-diver's vision began to blur a little. Wait, don't get faint, he has a lot to ask him.
The strong man squatted down and checked the wound on Gao Qian's head, and said in a thick voice with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a skin injury, but maybe there will be some slight concussion." ”
"It's illegal to open a fire hydrant privately, run. Gao Qian heard himself say this. Hell, that's not what he was trying to say.
The strong man grinned, his hair thick and coarse, like a nest of grass, his face was deeply contoured, his skin was dark, and he had a mouthful of white teeth. He pinched Gao Qian's shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm opening the fire hydrant in the Infernal Realm, and the police in the human realm won't find out." ”
"What is Infernal Affairs?" "High Diving struggled to look at the monster's corpse, and was surprised to find that the place where the monster's corpse should have been lying was empty.
"A place that only people like us can enter. It's just that I didn't expect you to be able to unconsciously enter the Infernal Realm at your age, but fortunately I arrived in time. There was a frightened comfort in the strong man's tone, "That one just now is a hellhound, a kind of ...... Less common demonic creatures. After the monster dies, the corpse will disappear, and the dust will return to dust, and the earth will return to the earth, which is the rule of the demon world. ”
"Demon Realm?"
"Yes. Don't worry, it's just a small omission, we'll fix it......" The strong man smiled and stopped talking. He touched the top of the high dive's head, "Anyway, this won't happen again." You're too young to know this, enjoy your childhood, and I'll come back to you when you're sixteen. ”
Gao Qian's eyelids sank so much that he could barely hold on: "What are you looking for me?"
“...... Put this away, and ...... in the future" The strong man's voice seemed to come from the deep underwater.
