Chapter 33: The Siren in the Sewers
There is a great terror between life and death!
This horror can even change a person completely.
Li Shenzhi could never have imagined that Saloche would dare to make such a ridiculous request!
"When a wormer is infected with a highly toxic virus, it will cut off the spread of the toxin by sacrificing some maggots, so I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you."
Li Shenzhi took a breath, suppressed the trace of anger in his heart, and politely refused, suddenly understanding Inspector Pine's approach in his heart.
"No, no, no, you can actively infect ......"
"The sheriff's not stupid, they'll notice it."
"It's okay to notice it, you're the mosaic, and they'll reprimand you at most...... No, no, no, you are infected to save me, everyone will be touched by your noble character, not only will they not reprimand, but they will praise you, everyone will be willing to make friends with you, you will be appreciated by everyone...... cough cough cough ......"
Salloch was hoarse, and the desire to survive even made him finish his speech before he coughed violently.
Li Shenyi looked at Salloch with a strange face.
If he hadn't experienced the beating of the hairy boy in society, maybe he would have believed this set of arguments.
Great kindness is like hatred!
If he really did this, and anyone who was infected would come to him in the future, what should he do?
Poisoned again?
The Sheriff's Office can stand it, and he can't stand it.
At that time, as long as he refuses once, the so-called "noble character" character will collapse immediately.
"Mr. Salloch, you're crazy."
Li Shenzhi didn't bother to argue, got up and left.
He came to visit him out of comradeship.
If Sarocchi entrusted him with something he could, such as taking care of some relatives, he would most likely agree as long as it wasn't too excessive.
But Saloch had clearly been frightened by death.
Now this request is simply in disregard of his life.
You know, ghoul poison is not just a toxin.
In a way, this is a poison that borders on a curse.
Once he actively infects him, Li Shenzhi is very likely to be transformed into a ghoul, and at that time, even if he still has a backup maggot on the sea, he will not be able to escape the ghoul curse.
"Wait! I...... I know a clue to an abomination! ”
Salot screamed.
Li Shenzhi paused as he left, and without waiting for the look of hope on Salotchi's face, he continued to take steps and strode away.
"No—Mr. Langdon—Langdon—ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Screams of horror were eventually drowned out by hysterical coughing.
Li Shenzhi's footsteps did not stop, pushed open the door, and walked away.
"Bang dang!"
As the door closed, all that remained was the sound of heart-rending coughs and wheezing.
The maid stood at the door of the bedroom with a frightened face, not daring to enter.
Since Mr. Saloch suddenly fell ill, the whole person is like being possessed by the devil, and he has completely changed into a person.
He is hysterical, irritable and violent.
If the food is slightly out of the mouth, they will be smashed and insulted.
even stuffed all the belongings of the family into the quilt, for fear that she, the maid, would deceive him and be weak and dying.
If it weren't for years of kindness and the unpaid salary, she would really turn around and leave.
After a long time, the violent coughing gradually stopped.
"Vanessa!"
Salotchi beckoned to the maid.
Vanessa hesitated, but walked over.
"I have served in the Sheriff's Department all my life, but I have never left a son or a daughter behind my work, I can't take this money away, and when I die, it will all belong to you."
Salocchi patted the money bag in his hand.
Vanessa's pupils dilated when she saw this, and her face subconsciously showed joy, and she suddenly realized that something was wrong and restrained her expression.
It's just the ecstasy that wells up from the heart, and it can't be concealed no matter what.
So much so that her expression was tinged with a hint of grotesque distortion.
"Ahem...... I have nothing else to ask for now but to see the place where I grew up when I am dying, and can you send me there? Salotchi's voice was full of desperate pleading.
"Mr. Salloch, where is that place?" Vanessa asked cautiously.
"Not far away, in an abandoned village in the forest to the south, if I die, don't buy a cemetery, just bury it there!"
"Okay, okay." Vanessa hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Go buy me some diaphragm, buy more, I don't want to be so painful that I can't sit up...... By the way, hire another carriage. Salotchi reached out and grabbed a handful of silver coins from his purse and handed it over.
Vanessa hurriedly caught it with both hands, and her whole body trembled with excitement.
"Mr. Salloch, are you going now?"
"Yes, go now, go and come back quickly, I may not last long."
"Wait a minute, I'll be right back."
Vanessa hurriedly bowed her head and hurried out with the silver coin in her hand.
Salotchi looked at Vanessa's back, clutched the money bag in his hand tightly, his stiff and blue face twisted, flashing with thick hatred and hatred, and he subconsciously squeezed out a name between his teeth, as if he wanted to chew it up.
"Langdon—"
……
……
Li Shenzhi, who returned to the shooting range of the Public Security Department, could not calm down for a long time.
He didn't expect that Salocchi, who had taken good care of him before, was humorous and knowledgeable, would be so crazy in the face of death.
"You look a little gloomy? You...... You okay? ”
Pyne, who had finished dealing with personal matters, noticed that something was wrong with Li Shenzhi as soon as he arrived at the shooting range.
"It's okay, I went to visit Mr. Saloch at noon, and I was a little emotional!" Li Shenzhi didn't say what Salotchi asked for in the end.
Salloch is going to die after all, so let him leave a decent memory for the sheriff's office.
Although maybe not many people will still remember him.
"That's an anomaly! He hid all his life, but he still couldn't get through it after all. In fact, with his intelligence, if he had joined the field service at a young age, he might have become my boss. ”
Inspector Pine paused and said, "Look at the point, this kind of thing will become daily in the future, you have to learn to adapt, we are the guardians of the people after all!" ”
Li Shenzhi bowed his head and no longer dwelled on this topic.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, a vigilante came to report that a mother on Holmes Street claimed that her son had seen a ghost, which was suspected to be an anomalous event.
Hearing this, Inspector Pine hurriedly took Li Shenzhi to the scene.
As a result, after some nervous investigation, it turned out that the mother's son had taken a large amount of diazeptomine and had hallucinations.
"Disappointed?" Inspector Pine asked with a smile as he left the house.
"Well, a little!" Li Shenzhi did not hide it and generously admitted it.
"Hahaha, newcomers are like this, if I can, I hope to run for nothing every time!" Inspector Pine laughed.
He took out his pocket watch, glanced at it, and said, "Well, it's four o'clock, it's almost time to get off work." Is there an arrangement for tonight? ”
"No, what's wrong?" Li Shenzhi asked.
"I'll take you to a good place." Pine blinked.
……
"This is the place you said?" Li Shenzhi looked at the messy and dilapidated tavern in front of him and looked surprised.
"Don't be fooled by appearances, learn to observe." Pine Road.
Hearing this, Li Shenzhi finally became serious and carefully observed the tavern.
His gaze wandered, and his eyes suddenly froze, falling on a pale-faced man.
He seems to be an alcoholic.
He sat in the corner with a stubbled beard, his head resting on the dark and oily wall.
That's not the point.
The point is that Li Shenzhi clearly saw that his body was entangled with a wisp of female ghosts.
"Keen observation! Let's go! ”
Pine noticed Li Shenzhi's lingering gaze, said approvingly, and then walked in the direction of the man.
Li Shenzhi was a little dazed, but he still followed.
Pine walked over to the man, and a dodge vanished.
Li Shenzhi hurriedly approached, only to find that there was another trick behind the man, and there was a secret door at the entrance of the alley.
If you don't get closer, you won't find it at all.
He then stepped in, and as he left, he subconsciously glanced at the ghost-haunted man.
"Does it feel like something is wrong with that person?"
"A little."
"He has the soul of his deceased wife wrapped around him."
"Huh?" Li Shenzhi was surprised: "This ...... The Sheriff's Department won't arrest him? ”
"Why did the sheriff's department arrest him?" Pyne asked rhetorically.
Li Shenzhi was stunned, and some conjectures appeared in his heart.
"It's all poor people, and there's no need for the sheriff's department to do anything about it. What's more, a lot of extraordinary materials also need to be collected by these people. ”
As he spoke, Pine had already led Li Shenzhi through the long corridor to a building that suddenly opened up.
This building, similar to the vegetable market in Li Shen's previous life, is divided into a wide space of lattices, and dozens of stalls are sparsely arranged.
There are some strange things on the stalls.
"It's ......"
"A mystery bazaar that sells all sorts of extraordinary materials."
Pine took a breath and said, "As mosaics, we have incredible powers, but they still have limitations. For example, as a creep, you're having a hard time dealing with ghosts, or even being able to see, so we need the help of some props, like curse bombs. ”
Li Shenzhi's eyes lit up, revealing strong interest.
Pine introduced the Mystery Bazaar without stopping, and soon led Li Shenzhi to an empty stall in the depths.
In front of the booth, there was only one extremely fat man, sitting behind a desk, reading a book with a magnifying glass.
"Duh!"
Pine tapped his fingers on the table.
“…… Lord Pine?! ”
The fat man looked up at Pyne, and he shuddered with a look of fear in his eyes.
"Is there any new information lately?"
"Yes, yes, someone found a kraken in the sewers."
Li Shenzhi, who was still looking around, suddenly turned his head to look at it when he heard the words.
