Chapter Twenty-Four: Salocchi's Mixed Feelings

Salot had insomnia.

This is rare!

He eats and drinks well, works well, occasionally suffers from minor illnesses, and even has the luxury of taking diluted vampire blood treatments.

To live at this age, to have such a healthy body, there are definitely not many people in Tudor.

But he still had insomnia.

He knows why?

Because of Mr. Langdon, who had only been in the instrument room for three or four days.

To be honest, he didn't really like this guy very much at first.

Because of his arrival, it affected him to make money, so he kept encouraging him to leave the equipment room and join the field.

However, after several temptations, he found that he was not very interested in his "gray money", or he was very interested, he suddenly liked this guy a little.

After all, having someone to help him with the heavy lifting is a good thing after all, isn't it?

But he didn't expect that as soon as he changed his mentality, that guy joined the field in the line of fire, and even faced the abomination.

It made him a little ...... Loss, even resentment.

It's a very mixed emotion.

In his more than twenty years in the instrument room, he had several opportunities to transfer to the field, and even once he had already found traces of an abomination.

But he gave up.

The reason is simple, he was scared out of his mind.

He is a private investigator by training.

In Tudor, private detective is a lucrative, but also dangerous, profession.

They often wander among gangs, sheriffs, wealthy merchants, and aristocrats, holding secret information that ordinary people cannot see, but they also risk dying at any time.

Saloch was frightened precisely because he received an investigation commission from the Sheriff's Office.

Later, after he was absorbed by the Public Security Department, he never dared to develop in the field.

In fact, deep down, he longed to become a mosaic.

After all, it's a genuine, one-of-a-kind supernatural power.

He hesitated between "joining" and "refusing" several times, and finally reason made him choose to refuse.

Trained as a private detective, he has a keen eye for the alarming mortality rate of vigilantes.

Those who can successfully inlay are not one in a hundred.

He had a hunch that Langdon would most likely die in this operation, even if he had been prepared, even if he was accompanied by two Inspectors.

Because he's seen a lot of it.

But he still felt a little irritable, lost, and even angry in his heart.

Because he's old.

for his time is short.

When he was young, he watched those proud sons of heaven walking in front of him one by one, and he inevitably felt a little pity and look down in his heart.

What about being a vigilante? What about even the Inspector?

Didn't you get ahead of me in the end?

But now that I am old and weak, an unspeakable fear grows in my heart.

He will eventually die, a worthless death.

Die like a wild dog, and no one will remember him, just like those who were once the pride of the sky.

He had the opportunity to try to find a different path, but he gave it up with his own hands.

The name is beautiful: rationality, Gou is king, and there is hope in life!

In fact, he is a timid and cowardly mudblood, a mudblood who has buried his head in the soil all his life and does not dare to raise his head!

That's why he was disappointed, and even resentful, of Langdon.

Because whether Langdon lives or dies, at least he won't regret it.

Regret is the most terrible poison in the world, it makes you watch yourself slowly decay, but there is no remedy.

The night was spent tossing and turning.

The next morning, he washed up, dressed himself, served by the servants, and after breakfast, he slowly went to the sheriff's office.

Along the way, countless people greeted him, and Salocchi responded with a smile.

- On Lister Street, I am afraid that no one is more senior than him.

"Good morning, Mr. Saloch."

Ms. Renee, at the front desk on the third floor, is as energetic as ever, with a pair of big eyes that are shining.

"Good morning, Ms. Renee."

Salotchi replied with a bow.

"You know what? Langdon is back. ”

Saloqi's face froze, and the big stone in his heart was inexplicably raised: "He...... It worked? ”

"I don't know, I heard that when I came back, I was covered in blood, and my body was full of maggots, Sister Akali said, there is no help."

Renee, who had been holding back all morning, gossiped mysteriously.

"That's it!"

Sarloch showed a little sadness, but the big stone in his heart was gently relaxed.

Normal!

It's so normal!

"Jingle bell!"

At the sound of the bell, Salotchi pushed open the door and his eyelids jumped uncontrollably.

I saw that in the huge public hall, the field staff and clerks were in groups, whispering and discussing.

The last time I saw such a lively scene was a week ago - the Crimson Church Sacrifice Case.

"Mr. Salloch, did Langdon bring a grenade yesterday?"

Seeing Salotchi enter the house, a security officer's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.

"What's going on?"

Salotchi did not admit it, nor did he deny it.

"It's a good thing that Mr. Langdon brought that grenade, otherwise it's a question of whether he can come back."

"Oh? How so? ”

"Didn't you ask me how Mr. Langdon escaped from the Flame Giant? I'll tell you, it was that grenade that suddenly exploded, shattering the flame giant and allowing Langdon to escape. ”

The vigilante looked at his colleague beside him and spat at it.

Salloch's eyelids jumped: "Wait, Langdon is not dead?" No...... Ms. Renee had just told me that Mr. Langdon had come back covered in blood, and Akali said he was hopeless...... Is this cured? ”

Salotchi's heart lifted up again, and he stammered a little when he spoke.

No one knows the complexity of his heart.

The vigilante sighed when he heard this:

"I escaped, but most of them were saved. You can't imagine how Mr. Langdon lured the Creep out? He actually cut his own skin and bled out, and was motionless when the creep separated a part of his body and tried it...... That's ten thousand worms drilling into the heart, ten thousand maggots sucking blood, and it hurts...... Now, although Mr. Langdon is back with a sigh of relief, there are also a large number of maggots hidden in his body, many of which have already burrowed into deadly organs, and now he is hanged by a mouthful of vampire blood, and I am afraid that he will not live long. ”

Salotchi's heart pounded as he listened to the vigilante's teasing, and only at the end did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Maggots burrow into the organs...... It's really not going to live long.

Salotchi stood by and listened for a while, and after making sure that the version was similar, he left with a long sigh.

The old steps are unconscious, but they are a lot easier.

……

……

It really doesn't look like Langdon has much to live.

He was lying on an obsidian countertop, his skin was open, the blood had already coagulated into a black-brown scab, and he was confused, almost unable to respond to external stimuli, and it looked like he might die at any time.

Of course, this is an outsider's perspective.

For Li Shenzhi, Langdon's body is indeed like a broken toy, about to die, and the oil will run out.

However, if he wanted to, Langdon's seemingly near-death condition could be terminated at any time.

The reason why it is so miserable is not so much a bitter trick as a complete acting.

After all, Langdon used himself as bait, but he jumped back alive, who wouldn't be suspicious?

It's a miracle to be dead now!

The reason why Li Shenzhi came back with a hard breath was actually to see the attitude of the Public Security Bureau.

If the attitude is good, treat him, or even let him inlay the creeper, this is naturally the best.

If you take advantage of people's danger, then everything will be over, and the fish will die and the net will be broken.

Don't look at the maggots he brought back with Langdon's hand, in fact, if he wants, this part of the maggots can die violently at any time.

The Sheriff's Department finally ran out of water with bamboo baskets.

To be honest, he's feeling a little bad right now.

After the sheriff's department brought Langdon's body to this stone platform, in addition to someone cleaning up the maggots at the beginning, I don't know whether he was too seriously injured or suspicious.

In short, no one treated him again.

Only a few vigilantes stood around, staring at him with wary expressions.

I'm afraid he'll become a monster.

When he muttered in Li Shen's heart.

"Squeak!"

There was a strange noise.

The door to the mosaic room suddenly opened, and the sheriff Van Lunding walked in with a group of priests from the Nautical Church.

The sheriff guards guarding Langdon saw this scene with slightly moving faces.

Inspector Pine asked even more excitedly, "Lord Van Lunding, has the application passed?" ”
