Chapter 4

I followed the two members of the Evil Soul Party with a sense of suspicion to a place called Lordum that was set up underground. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIt's big and dirty, and drug addicts and prostitutes are everywhere. This criminal area is divided into three floors and is the only drug trading area on the island, and in order to protect their own interests, drug dealers have to give Marco a third of the money and goods obtained from each transaction.

Scat and Emily know the terrain and know most of the people here, but they never reveal their true identities to anyone else. I was taken by them to the second basement level of the station, where there were all kinds of books about the black magic of the ancient poppy island, as well as old weapons and equipment, which opened my eyes. Emily also brought out a special sunscreen that she had developed herself, which allows any vampire who uses it to stay in the sun for two hours, and she also revealed to me that she had developed this sunscreen back in the United Kingdom, but not in public.

They allowed me to see the weapons here, some of which I had seen for the first time. There was a new type of grenade, which looked very strange, like an olive the size of a fist.

Emily saw me looking at this grenade with a puzzled expression, so she explained this grenade to me: "This small grenade was invented by Baroque, called the Purple Light Burst Bomb, which was not tested at the beginning, but then I verified it, its power is indeed amazing, once it explodes, it will emit a dazzling purple light, and the vampire who is illuminated by this light on the body will instantly turn into dust, as deadly as the sun, because of its huge killing area, so we try not to use this weapon easily." ”

"Is it just the two of you in such a big place?" I asked.

"Yes, there is chaos here, and we don't dare to bring anyone in easily, lest it lead to bad consequences. ”

"Don't you have a sense of wariness against me?"

"You're pretty reliable for us, so now is the time for us to stick together, and I think you understand. ”

"I'm very touched that you trust me, isn't it just to see these weapons?" I grabbed a crossbow from the wall and aimed at the dummy under the stone pillar.

"Of course not. Scat said, "I wonder how you got here?"

I was silent for a while, then hung my crossbow on the wall, "It's a long story, but I don't want to come to this place either. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the place you really want to go is Poppy Island. ”

"Yes, what happened to me was terrible, it all seemed like I was meant to be. ”

"Now we are all fellow sufferers. ”

"Why aren't Frank and Isabel with you?" asked Emily.

I was about to speak, and after a moment of silence, I said: "Frank is dead, Baroque's wife Catherine poisoned him with poison, Isabel is also being pursued by Marco, I don't know where she fled, all this is to blame for me, blame me for being too curious, too selfish, I also escaped from Marco's hands." ”

"Where are all your skills, and Alex, who was once so powerful, going to end up like this? It's useless to say anything now, Marco is now the biggest demon here, and his next step is to develop Poppy Island and take it for himself, but I will never allow him to trample on the home we once lived in, and I will do my best to stop it, even if it is desperate. ”

"I support you, and if you can trust me, I will fight with you for my homeland. ”

"That's a good idea, I'm for it. Scat said.

"Welcome aboard, Alex. Emily said, "Before we do that, we need to build our team first, and we'll help you find Isabel first." From now on, I hope that we can put aside our past hatreds, become friends, save the future of Poppy Island, stop Marko's plan to develop Poppy Island, and strive to leave a paradise for future generations, so that Poppy Island does not become a legend. ”

"Glad to hear you say that. I said, "We have to work together." What do you know about Marko?"

"He's a vile bastard, he killed the famous architect Eric Ian Grant on Poppy Island, and wanted to hunt down his daughter Veronica, but Veronica wasn't on Tox Island, she probably went to Poppy Island, she was a miserable girl, she was born blind, and because of this, she grew up with few people willing to make friends with her, and it was all because her mother Valerie had taken drugs during pregnancy. On her seventh birthday, Eric learned that his wife was pregnant with drugs, and he taught Valerie a hard lesson that day and kicked her out of the house forever. From now on...... Veronica has always been cared for by her father and rarely interacts with others. Valerie, who was kicked out of the house, was nowhere to be found, and no one knew where she had gone. Now that Eric is dead and Veronica is on the run, Marco won't rest on his laurels. ”

"Why did Marco kill Eric?"

"Marco asked him to demolish all the ruins of ancient buildings on Poppy Island and build some more modern buildings, but Eric didn't do it, so he ......"

"I see, let's not talk about that, I have to go to Isabel now, and when all of our men are in place and our strength is strong, we will go to Marco to settle the score. ”

"I'm with you. Scat said.

"No need, I'll just be alone, if there are more people, it will attract the attention of others, so you can wait here. ”

Emily also gave me two pistols loaded with new bullets, "Be careful along the way, good luck!"

I changed into civilian clothes and left Lordam and came to the silent street. I quickly climbed onto the rooftops of some of the buildings, taking a closer look at the neighborhoods I passed, hoping to spot Isabel. I came to the alley occupied by the street girl and found the place where I was separated from Isabel. She was pushed out of the window by me and fell straight downstairs. I saw a car downstairs with a deep dent in the roof of her as she fell. I judged the direction in which she might go based on the situation on the spot. She probably went to the surrounding dense forest, or she might have rescued me first. What if she had the audacity to go to Marco's estate to rescue me? She may not have known that I had escaped, but I believed that she was a clever girl and would not be so reckless, so I instinctively continued to search for her whereabouts.

On the street, some of the women who stood on the street occasionally smiled at me with a seductive smile, and they wanted not only sex, but also blood. It's a filthy and dangerous town, where drunks hang out with bottles of wine, and even the air in the city seems to be filled with alcohol.

Suddenly, the sound of ****** was heard not far away, and I immediately hid myself and began to peek around. Two or three people were chasing a fleeing man, and it was difficult for me to tell who was on either side due to the shadows of the objects around me. Could it be that Marco's men are chasing Isabel? I climbed to the top of the building and tracked them down at the top of some of the buildings.

I followed them to a dead end. The pursuers, who numbered three and were armed, pinned down the pursuers behind a truck with great firepower.

"No bullets, baby?" cried one of the pursuers, "come out of here, we won't hurt you." ”

I noticed all this on the rooftop.

The man hiding behind the truck finally spoke: "I have a bomb, it's a big deal." ”

As soon as I heard the voice, it was Isabel. So I jumped down and got behind the three pursuers, and quickly shot them through the heart. I calmly walked over to the truck with numerous bullet holes and tentatively asked, "Isabel, is it really you?"

The other party cautiously stepped out of the back of the truck, and I fixed my eyes to see that it was indeed her, and thankfully, she was still alive. She threw herself into my arms, burst into tears, and sobbed, "I thought I would never see you again." ”

I kissed her forehead, "It's okay, honey, it's okay." ”

It all went smoothly and I found her without any hindrance. I then took her back to Lordam and into Scat and Emily's station. When she saw Scat and Emily, she was stunned and puzzled, so I quickly explained to her the ins and outs of the matter: "Honey, listen to me, what we need now is to turn the war into a jade silk, we are facing our common enemy, this enemy has great ambitions, and the next step is to develop the resources of the island, demolish all the ancient buildings there, and finally take the entire Poppy Island for himself." I hope that we can unite and fight for our homeland and leave a happy land for our descendants. ”

"Isabel, you can think about it. Emily said.

Isabel was skeptical, "How can I trust you?"

"You may not believe me, but I only know that there are no Evil Spirits or Underworld Societies here, and the current enemy is Marko, a man who wants to turn our former home into a desert island. ”

Isabel struggled to wrestle with his inner doubts, which made it impossible for him to refuse the pleas of the two members of the Evil Spirits, and she knew that only together could we be stronger. She pondered for a moment and finally agreed to turn enemies into friends and deal with our common enemy: "Well, I promise you, fight for your homeland. ”

"Wise choice. I said.

For two weeks, we didn't leave the door of Lordam, practicing difficult marksmanship, throwing knives, and fighting every day. Scat also developed protective clothing and helmets that protected against violet burst bullets. In order to satisfy everyone's appetite, Isabel also made a large amount of rat blood for everyone to drink.

Time passed quickly, and the vegetation on the island was green, and there was no movement on Marco's side, and he knew that I had escaped, so why didn't he go around and hunt me down?

That night, Scat and I each had a bottle of vodka and boldly wandered aimlessly down the street. Scat drank a lot of alcohol, he had drunk a bottle of Chivas Regal before he went out, and now he had drunk most of the vodka in his hand, his face still not improving, and he was still naturally sober when he spoke and walked.

"It's incredible that we're here to meet. I said.

Scat took a big sip of his drink, "It's good that Emily and I are lucky to survive." The outside world is too complicated, I wanted to come back and live a quiet life, but I didn't expect this place to be more complicated than the outside world, as it is said in the movie: every time I see the world change, it will always get worse. One day I will kill all the wicked people in the world, so that only good people are left in this world, and this world will become beautiful. ”

"Do you think it's possible?"

"Unlikely. ”

"Then don't brag. ”

I found a chaise longue and sat down, putting the wine aside. Scat was still gulping down, quickly finishing, and then picked up my bottle, "Don't you want to drink?"

I hesitated, "Yes, you can help me drink." ”

"It's going to be wasted if you throw it away. He drank most of it in one gulp.

Suddenly, a vintage car passed us and stopped outside an apartment. Two people walked out of the car, one of whom was McCain, and the other surprised me, and I knew him all too well, it was Isabel's father, Green Siegfried. At that moment, I was completely stunned, I thought I had drunk too much and had hallucinations, so I shook my head vigorously and took a closer look. That's right, that's really Green.

Scat was also stunned, he looked at McCain and Green in surprise, and muttered, "Green? Siegfried?"

"How did Green come here?" I muttered.

"I don't know, what the hell is going on?"

"How could he be with McCain?" I watched as Green and McCain walked nicely into the apartment, feeling suspicious, it seemed like we had come to the right place on Tokes Island, and I didn't know what was going to happen next. Could it be that there is a vampire in the world who looks exactly like Green? If it is Green, what is the purpose of his here? Could my father be on this island too? What exactly do they have to do with Marco and McCain?

Instead of continuing to be curious about the matter, we made a note of the location of the apartment and headed back to the base.

We told Isabel and Emily about it, and Isabel couldn't help but be taken aback. Emily was also puzzled by this, and she asked, "Why is Green here? Is there another person who looks like him?"

Isabel didn't believe us at all, she felt that we had wronged her father, "You must be mistaken, my father is not going to be with them." ”

"We read that right, it's your father. Scat said.

"I think things need to be further implemented. I said.

"There must be a reason for this, maybe it's not just Green who is here, there are many more. Emily said.

"Who else will there be?"

"Alex, if your father comes, it proves that something really is going to happen. ”

Suddenly, a sense of worry came over me. It reminds me of the cursed stone tablet in the underwater city of Night Island, could it be that the devil mentioned on the cursed stone tablet could be my father?

"Isn't your father bent on finding the legendary Dark Elemental Shard?" asked Scat me.

"He does want to get the Dark Elemental, and the most important piece is still missing, but I don't think Grimm's purpose here has anything to do with the Dark Elemental Fragment. I said.

"Not necessarily. ”

"I used to talk about helping my father find the Dark Elemental Fragment, but later I learned that the Dark Element is meaningless to anyone, no matter who it falls into, no one can control its powerful energy, and it will only bring disaster to themselves. ”

"Just because you give up doesn't mean your father will give up too. ”

"If Green really came here for the Dark Elemental Shard, it would be for nothing, because the Shard couldn't have been here at all. ”

"If that's what you say, then it proves that Green must be here for some other reason. ”

"Maybe I should go and see what my father wants to do. Isabel said.

"No, you can't go, it's too dangerous. I said.

"You're not familiar with the terrain here, so I'll help you find out first. Emily said.

"I think you better don't go, the truth will come out in two days, and if you go now, it's tantamount to startling the snake. ”

"Alright then, let's go another day. ”
