Chapter 181: Corpse Demon and Academician Han
Because everyone is wanted, the Black Butcher didn't embarrass us, but just told us to drive and follow.
At that moment, Zhang Sanfen and I returned to the car, followed the two cars quickly, and it was not until after nightfall that we finally arrived at the Styx Black Shop.
At this time, countless lights were already lit up in the Styx Black Shop.
There is the roar of generators and the bright searchlights.
There are also strange and various ghost fires floating in the streets.
I sat in the co-pilot's seat and looked at the strange world in front of me, and I was secretly amazed.
If you hadn't come here in person, who would have thought that there would be such a city in the depths of the Land of the Dead, where the living and the dead coexist!
The name of the Styx Black Store may sound small, but it actually covers a larger area than the town of the dead.
It's just that the inhabitants here are more of all kinds of ghosts and zombies, and the living occupy a minority.
Of course, this is usual.
As far as I can see, a third of the Styx Black Store is shrouded in the glow of searchlights, and judging by the rumbling sound, at least three diesel generators have been installed.
When I was looking, I saw that the two off-road vehicles turned a corner and stopped in a parking lot on the periphery.
I could see through the light around me that there were fifty or sixty cars parked neatly there.
According to the number of vehicles, there are at least 150 exorcists here.
Zhang Sanfen parked the car according to the other party's instructions.
Then the two of us turned over and got out of the car, taking our bags with us.
The black butcher walked over quickly and said, "Han Shaoyang, bring your things and come with me." ”
"Once that's done, you're free to do whatever you want."
"With Lord Dusk here, no one dares to touch you!"
After saying that, the Black Butcher had already led the people briskly towards the street.
Zhang Sanfen and I followed quickly, and when we looked around, we saw that the streets were bustling with people.
A cursory look at the number shows that there are not hundreds.
Some of them crouched in the corner of the wall and lit a bonfire to keep warm, while others hurriedly walked briskly.
Others got together in twos and threes, as if they were trading something.
I couldn't help but ask, "Black ...... Big Brother Black Butcher, are these all your own people? ”
The Black Butcher sneered, "What kind of people are they, half of them are exorcists who have come to make a fortune. ”
"I knew that Lord Dusk was going to negotiate with the corpse demon, so I took the initiative to come and stand up for Lord Dusk, and then prepared to reap some benefits."
"It's all a bunch of opportunistic guys! In this pair of twilight lords are respectful, if they leave the land of the dead, they will sell the news of the adults to the Hidden Bureau! ”
Zhang Sanfen gritted his teeth: "This group of people should be killed!" ”
The Black Butcher smiled, "No, no. ”
"For now, they're still useful."
"Okay, you can move around as you please, and when the negotiations begin, just come over and cheer together!"
I kind of understand that in order to increase her voice in the land of the dead, Twilight relied on brute force to gather all the living people and form a group.
With Dusk leading the team, the strength of this group does not have to be different from the seven ghost kings and the two corpse kings.
And the exorcists who came here to make a fortune also saw the business opportunities contained in it.
Once Dusk is able to compete with the rest of the Ghost Kings, the Exorcist's voice in the Styx Black Shop will skyrocket.
With the right to speak, making money is almost a sure thing.
No wonder so many people spontaneously came to the dusk to stand on the field.
The Black Butcher took our keys when he left.
It should be a means by which they are trying to control us.
But Zhang Sanfen didn't seem to care, the vehicle.
Who told you had to have a key to open it?
As long as it reassures these guys.
Zhang Sanfen looked at the exorcists coming and going on the street, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable essence.
He said to me, "Lao He, you go and inquire about the news of Dusk's negotiation with the corpse demon. ”
"I'm trying to figure out where Academician Han's lab is."
"Watch the time, and be back here in ten minutes."
We checked our watches, and then walked briskly to both sides of the street, one left and one right.
After tossing so many days to get to the place, it should also work.
In fact, the news of the negotiation between the corpse demon and the twilight is very simple.
Because this is a big event in the Land of the Dead, almost all humans are talking about it.
I found a gang that was discussing the matter, gave me two packs of cigarettes, and started talking.
This group of people does not look like wanted criminals, and the accent should be an exorcist from the northern Shaanxi region.
They seemed very professional, and there were quite a few of them, a full six.
Hearing my inquiry, these people also told me clearly without care.
Anyway, the whole street is talking about it, and it's not a secret news.
Dusk's negotiations with the corpse demons began in the early hours of the morning.
At that time, not only will the Demon Ghost King and the Great Black Heavenly Corpse King mediate, but there will also be the Headless Ghost King and the Broken Bone Ghost King coming over.
According to the grapevine, the Great Black Sky Corpse King is on the side of the corpse demon, after all, these two belong to the zombie lineage.
And the Demon Ghost King is on the side of Dusk.
Because the wanted criminals under the twilight are long-time customers of the Demon Ghost King.
The two sides can also be regarded as mutually beneficial.
As for the terms of negotiation, it is not as simple as we think.
I thought that the corpse demon just wanted revenge, but listening to what these exorcists in northern Shaanxi said, it involved the issue of interests.
It is said that when the corpse demon woke up, he ate several people and imprisoned a few people.
These people are very important, and Twilight wants to exchange them from the corpse demon.
Before, he attracted corpse demons in Dayuantan, and he also wanted to completely overturn the other party, which was considered a hundred.
Unexpectedly, the strength of the corpse demon was beyond their expectations, so it was self-defeating and completely offended this powerful guy.
I chuckled when I heard this.
How many people did the corpse eat when they woke up? How many people were also imprisoned?
Isn't this corpse demon brainless? How can you still imprison people?
Like a squirrel, it can't eat it all for a while, so it imprisons the living and eats it slowly?
Thinking of this, I casually asked, "Who are those people in captivity?" It's worth making such a big deal about Lord Dusk. ”
The exorcists shrugged and said, "Who knows." ”
"Some people say it's a wanted criminal who follows Dusk, but who believes it!"
"Dusk and White Curse, what are the identities of these two big guys? Even if an A-class wanted criminal is imprisoned by the corpse demon and eaten, they will only curse a word of waste. ”
Another exorcist said, "I've heard some gossip. Those who were imprisoned seemed to be some kind of scholars. ”
My brain buzzed when I heard this, it!
Academician Han?
Yes!
Whitespell risked being captured alive by the Hidden Bureau to come to Middle-earth just to take the memorial and her research notes with him.
In order to get the research results of Academician Han, Dusk would rather have a hard time with the corpse demon.
If that's the case, then it all makes sense!
But what does the corpse demon have to do with Academician Han?
A scholar specializing in the paranormal, a vicious corpse demon, the two are not compatible at all.
