Chapter 2

In order to eliminate Baroque and Ralph as soon as possible, I asked Frank to go with me to find out where the enemy lived, presumably Baroque and Ralph had just fallen asleep. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info we came to the Thames, the gray sky has just shown signs of dawn, the thin fog has gradually dissipated, the garbage removal truck has begun to work, and some bad young people who do not return home at night are walking and chatting on the street with cigarettes in their mouths.

As we walked, I suddenly noticed a man wearing a peaked cap appear at the bend not far in front of us, and we didn't pay attention at the time, but when the man saw us, he suddenly stopped. Frank and I stopped and looked at him, and he stared at us for a moment, then turned and walked away. This man's actions were suspicious, and his back was familiar to me, and I suddenly remembered a man, and that was the werewolf Fernando Brontë. I wasn't entirely sure it was Fernando, so we immediately chased after him, and the man was so agile that he jumped and ran around the wall as he did on flat ground.

Frank and I split up and tried to flank him, and when I chased him to an intersection, he leaped up and passed by a bus coming from the side, obscuring my view and disappearing the man in the cap when the bus left. Oops, I chased him away.

Frank rushed over and said, "That's a fast run." ”

We wanted to go out and find out where Baroque and Ralph lived, but we didn't expect to encounter such an incident. I didn't see the man's appearance clearly, although the stranger looked like Fernando from the back, but not like it. I'm afraid that the search for Baroque's place to live will not be done, and the person just now may be Baroque's eyeliner, and now he has gone to report to Baroque.

"Shall we go back? or...... Continue the search for Baroque and Ralph as planned?" asked Frank, confused.

I thought: since it has already come out, it is better to go with the original plan, even if Baroque knows that we are looking for him, he will not wake up immediately. "Can't go back. I said.

"Well, where do you think the Baroque will be?"

"Those catacombs are probably their hiding place. ”

"Then let's look and see, and if we find Baroque or Ralph sleeping, we must not be merciful. ”

"You don't have to tell me. ”

By noon, the whole of St. London was covered with dark clouds, and it seemed that the sky was about to change again. We found a deserted cemetery on the outskirts of the city, which looked like no one had been there for a long time, the dead were all 19th-century people, and many of the stone tablets were mossy and some had been wrapped in vines. I think it's supposed to be here, it doesn't look like it's been excavated, and there's only one way to prove if the Evil Spirits have been here, and that's to dig up a grave and see if it's a human or a vampire lying inside.

In fact, we don't know if those evil spirits and black gold fanatics are hiding here, so we can only judge by guess and intuition. Frank quickly retrieved a rusty shovel and began to dig tentatively in the softer ground, hoping to see the sleeping Baroque when he opened the first sarcophagus.

Frank quickly digs up a grave to leave most of the sarcophagus exposed. He pushed open the heavy lid of the sarcophagus, then pried open the wooden coffin inside, revealing that it was only a shriveled and blackened corpse, and it was clear that this was not the person we were looking for. Frank closed the lid again and buried the earth as it was. We took turns digging nine graves in a row, and in the coffins lay people who had been dead for a long time.

Frank felt aggrieved. "Let's go back. He said.

"Since it's not the person we're looking for, then we should respect the dead and bury the earth before leaving. I said.

"That's right. ”

We quickly covered each coffin, then buried it with earth, sprinkled a layer of fine soil on top, and finally left the cemetery.

We found a café, sat down and began to slowly analyze where the Baroque might live.

Frank looked aggrieved, "We still have time to find them, this time we are unlucky, no one can find them, and they smell of corpses, maybe next time we should let Walker do it." ”

"Do we look like two fools?"

"It's just two fools, it's all your fault, your idea is really ......"

"Whatever the idea, we're going to give it a try, what's your idea? ”

"I don't know. ”

"Maybe they're sleeping in another cemetery. ”

"Come on, I don't want to go to any more cemeteries, if you do, you and Volcker go, he likes corpses. ”

"Volcker can't live in the sun during the day. ”

"So we're still going to smell the rotting corpses?"

"Maybe the other cemeteries aren't rotting corpses. ”

"Who could that be? Baroque Ralph?"

"I'm most worried about where we're staying, what are we going to do if the Baroque discovers our base first and launches a raid there?"

"So we had to set up multiple points of contact before we could find his place to live. ”

"The less crowded the better. ”

"That's right, I've thought of a place to live. ”

"Where?"

"I think the Elizabeth I Clock Tower is a good place, it's a good place to hide. ”

"No, it's a landmark, it can't be destroyed by the war between us and the other Bloods, it's a bad idea, get a new one. ”

"Alright then, let's go to the Capitol. ”

"Frank, I don't want to repeat what I just said. ”

"It seems that this is a problem that takes a long time to plan. ”

"I'll go back tonight and talk to the others. ”

"I think the Elizabeth I Bell Tower couldn't be better. ”

"I repeat, I don't want that famous building to be destroyed by our hands. ”

"Do you want to do so much? When you fought on Poppy Island, your will was always very strong, and after so many years of armistice, how can you seem to be a different person, this is a war. ”

"Maybe I'm fit to live in the war years on Poppy Island. ”

"But there is no war on Poppy Island, so you have become a useless person? I don't think so, I think you are the pillar of our team, you can do without me in the organization, but you can't do without you, this is very clear, everyone can see it. ”

"Nonsense, everyone in our team is indispensable, don't talk about 'who is important in the organization or who is not important in the organization' in the future, understand?"

"Well, it's my fault, I'm sorry. ”

"When I met Baroque on the bridge that day, I should have tested how good he was. ”

"Didn't you say his hands were growing again?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. ”

"This proves that his abilities are extraordinary, neither of us is necessarily his opponent, he dares to wander the streets alone at night, and we?"

I used to drink Lucifer's blood, and I knew that drinking his blood was like drinking his power, but how should I use it? I wondered, could I have gained immortality? Maybe my power has not changed, but it is only psychological? Even if I have this power, how should I use it? Maybe it can only be used inadvertently when I encounter the Baroque. Thinking of this, I have another psychological advantage. "Frank, you don't have to come out with me tomorrow, I've decided to go out and find out on my own. ”

"How do you find out?

"Don't ask, please trust me, okay?"

Frank frowned, "You're such a strange person. ”

"Frank, I want you to go back now. ”

"Why?"

"The others are still sleeping, and only Isabel and the Witcher can go out during the day, and if our dwelling is discovered by the enemy, our people will most likely die in their sleep. ”

"Isabel and those witchers can deal with intruders. ”

"Please don't ask me to repeat it again, can you go back quickly?"

"Well, you need to be careful. ”

"And. ”

"What?"

"Feel free to get in touch. ”

"No problem. He walked out of the café.

I drank my last cup of coffee here, and spent another morning looking at all the graves in and around St. London, and found no suspicious signs, what should I do? I couldn't help but shout. Immediately afterward, all the pedestrians and vehicles around me disappeared from my vision, and the River Thames became a river of blood, and some victims screaming in pain emerged from the river. I looked up and saw a huge vortex of flames mixed with rolling thunder appeared in the sky, as if the whole world was engulfed in the flames of hell, am I in hell?" I said. Not far away, the Elizabeth I Bell Tower was suddenly struck by a lightning bolt that fell from the sky, turning it into a spectacular ruin.

"Alex. A familiar voice came from behind me.

I turned around and saw Lucifer. "Lucifer, my good friend!" I said. Even though everything around me has changed beyond recognition, I was still very excited to meet this old friend. "Can you tell me what's going on? Is this true?"

He faced the River Thames, "Of course it's true, it's a corner of hell." ”

"What?"

"It's kind of like St. London, isn't it? But don't worry, it's certainly not St. London. ”

I put my heart down and walked over to him, "Is Gabriel alright?"

"Michael has clarified everything for her, and the Almighty Father has allowed her to meet with me once every December 22 of the year of heaven. ”

"Congratulations!"

He smiled at me, "You seem to have something on your mind?"

I didn't say anything, and I wanted to ask for his help, but he had helped me enough, and I didn't want to ask anyone more, hoping that I could solve our problems on my own.

When he saw that I was about to speak, he said, "Do you now want to kill your mortal enemies with three enemies, the Evil Spirits, the Black Gold Maniac, and the Werewolves? ”

"He created a lot of harmful viruses and wanted to harm the world, I wanted to kill him, but how could I do it?"

"Do you want him to die? Do you have the power?"

"I ......"

"Speak. ”

"Yes. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"They secretly developed a virus called the Sixth Desire in an attempt to cause a global plague, and for that reason I was determined to get rid of him, you know. ”

"I appreciate you for risking your life to get rid of the Baroque in order to save all mankind. ”

"Although the virus on the North African Lion has been destroyed, they will invent more viruses. ”

"Even if you save humanity, I don't think humans will necessarily take your affection, purebred vampires will be killed as demons, and hybrids like you will be treated as freaks. ”

"I can prove it to them. ”

"I'll tell you the truth, humanity doesn't need you to save it, even if Baroque gets that batch of viruses, it won't cause a global plague, humans have a way to make some viruses have vaccines, and a small blood organization can't pose a threat to them. ”

"So I'm wasting my time?"

"Of course not, it proves that you are a half-breed with a sense of justice, you didn't disappoint me, I don't think I helped the wrong person. You have battled the forces of evil, you have destroyed a large number of viruses, you have prevented some of the impending tragedies in the pool of prophecy, and the Almighty Father will appreciate you. If you were to fight the Baroque to the death, you would pay a huge price, and even though you had my blood in your body and gained some of my power, you still couldn't avoid a bloody sacrifice. ”

"So, bloody sacrifices are really inevitable?"

"Yes, I'm here to give you a heads up. ”

"I just want to kill Baroque and Ralph now, I don't want to drag it on forever, the longer Baroque and Ralph live, the more uneasy I become. ”

"The power I give you can save your life at a critical time, but the fate of others is not in your hands, and other people's lives are not something you can take away if you want to, if you want others to die, then you must pay a certain price, maybe the price of life, or the price of your heart. ”

"Thank you for reminding me. "Although Lucifer kept reminding me, I didn't care at all what he said, I was just thinking about getting rid of Baroque and Ralph

"Good luck, half-breed. He then vanished into a puff of air.

The surroundings have also been restored to the original state, the world is still the world it is now, and the streets of St. London are still full of people and cars.

It's approaching evening now. "Oh my God, how long have I been standing here?" I muttered to myself.

"Are you alright, sir?" asked a uniformed policeman as he approached me.

"I'm fine. I looked around, trying to see Lucifer.

"Need help?"

"No, thank you!"

"You've been standing here all afternoon. ”

Instead of continuing to talk nonsense with the policeman, I quickly left.
