In the dim corner, there was a huge iron cage, each structural skeleton of the iron cage was filled with inward spikes, and in the iron cage, a puddle of black meat was floating up and down with the sound of breathing.

From Calvin's voice, Apu heard a clear sense of fear, trembling and frightened, holding the umbrella, walked behind the two, and gently patted the nervous Munch, his body instantly stiffened, as if he had been hit by electricity, if Calvin hadn't covered his mouth, he would have screamed.

"It's me." Apu was a little embarrassed and whispered in Munch's ear.

The gentle tone of voice largely relieved Munch's fright, and he pointed to the dim corner.

"The source of the smell and sound has been found, but I can't see it clearly." Munch muttered quietly, moving himself away from the shelf.

Apu lifted the umbrella over the heads of the three of them, and gently rotated the handle, and the black umbrella immediately emitted a soft light around it, illuminating the corners.

All three were shocked by what they saw. Lying in the iron cage was an unusually large wild boar, which should be a combination of a wild boar and mechanical parts to be precise.

The mane on the boar's back is in a relaxed state at this time, and the surface is covered with a layer of silvery-white metal scales, which reflect bright white spots of light in the soft light. The tail was transformed into an electric whip, and at the end of the whip, a heavy iron ball hung from which the dark red mark looked like blood. The fangs in the mouth turned into a bamboo slub, and some kind of lethal weapon should have been implanted inside, which was stained with a thick saliva secretion and emitted a foul smell.

Munch looked at the monster in front of him, always feeling familiar, raised his left hand, opened the hidden pattern just now, and whispered to the two people next to him: "Look, is this the No. 3 mechanical creature on the hand-painted ticket?" ”

Calvin leaned his face over, not noticing the black umbrella above his head, and the impact of his body set off a chain reaction that eventually knocked off a black metal fitting on the shelf.

"Be careful!" Munch exclaimed, watching the parts slide past his outstretched palm.

With a "clang", the parts came into contact with the ground and swayed back and forth. The three of them looked nervously into the corner, the wild boar in the iron cage stopped snoring, a stream of secretions flowed from the corner of its mouth, and it twisted its lazy body, and after a while, it continued to sleep on its side.

Before a few people could recover their senses, the parts shook a few times, and then stood on the ground, and then slowly rolled in the direction of the iron cage.

"Dang" was another loud bang, the parts collided head-on with the iron cage, and the thunderous snoring stopped. The trio shifted their gaze from the part to the boar.

A pair of big bloodshot eyes looked fiercely at the three heads behind the shelves. In a moment, the wild boar let out an earth-shattering roar through the iron cage, and Munch felt that his eardrums were about to be torn. The wild boar gasped for breath in his nostrils, and easily blew the parts in front of the iron cage away, and hit the shelves next to him, with another "dang" sound.

The three of them were afraid, and just as Munch was about to retreat into the courtyard after preparation, a cold muzzle of a gun was held against him, and a stern voice sounded from behind him: "Who are you?" ”

"Munch Bryan, these two are my friends." Munch wanted to look back to see who it was.

"I advise you not to do this until you make it clear." The comer warned.

Calvin and Apu stood beside Munch, holding their breath, firstly because they were nervous, and secondly, the smell of the wild boar was so smelly, he was fine when he slept, but now he was awake, and he roared wildly in the iron cage, and the smell was stronger than before.

"Old Deng, is it? Ron Deng? Monk only knew his name before coming, "Ovid Bryan asked me to come here, let me give this to you." As he spoke, he went to his coat pocket to find the coin. But after touching for a long time, I didn't find anything.

"What's that?"

"Wait, let me look for it again, it must have fallen somewhere when I put it in my pocket. I'm really Ovid's ......" son came to his lips, but he couldn't say anything. "The coin was engraved with half of a demon's face, half of an angel's face, and a circle of Ovid's own invented plants around it."

"What he said is true, and I can prove it." Calvin whispered.

"Look, is this it? I picked it up at the threshold in the yard. The man behind him placed a coin on his thumb and flicked it to Munch's head.

"Okay, I'm not kidding you, I've been watching you since you entered the door, and that guy Ovid has already said hello to me and asked me to take care of you and your friends."

When Munch turned around, the man put his hand in front of him, "Ron Deng, just call me Ron." You have to be careful in the future, especially in the city of Dante, where there are too many eyes and ears. I'd better leave that thing to keep. ”

He was about forty years old, had a mohican hairstyle, and had sword-like earrings on both ears. There is a sun-like pattern tattooed on the chin.

Munch put the coin in his hand, only to realize that what he had just pressed against was just a metal tube on the shelf.

"It's rage. One of the contestants in tonight's creature duel. Ron bypassed the three of them, walked straight to the iron cage, turned on the electric switch on the wall next to him, the wild boar instantly became more excited, the electric hammer behind him made a sizzling sound, all the silver scales opened at the same time, and the bamboo-like fangs gradually rose and thickened, showing a completely different state from just now.

"It can absorb high-frequency voltages as an energy supplement for the body, and the higher the voltage, the more excited it is. This is the most satisfying renovation of the year, whether I can make money or not, is tonight. Ron turned the switch off and said as he passed the three of them, "Let's go, go sit in the yard, this thing stinks!" ”

The ceiling of the courtyard was turned to bright mode, and several people sat around a round wooden table.

"This is Apu Andy, she's a famous writer." Munch introduced. "Come with me to gather materials for her new book. These people who are engaged in literature are somewhat eccentric. After speaking, she pointed to the black umbrella that Apu held in her hand at all times, and at this time she activated the suspension mode, the umbrella handle was retracted, and only the umbrella remained above her head at all times.

Apu nodded, in Dante City, such a sensitive identity of a journalist, it is better not to mention it.

"This is Calvin Young. He's unemployed now, so come out with me to relax. "An identity like a police officer cannot be mentioned.

Ron nodded to the two of them in turn, as a greeting.

"Old Deng, can I call it that?" Apu opened the topic first, looked at Ron's expression without disgust, and then continued, "Can you tell us about the creature duel match?" ”

Ron leaned back, his hand casually running over his erect hair. "It's all because of the obsidian fragments in Lake Demiga. It is rumored that due to the intense radiation from the obsidian fragments, the magnetic field in the city of Dante is often disrupted. Later, the various forces fought over the obsidian shards, which added to the chaos in the city. Without the control of the legal system, human desires will swell infinitely, and the work of normal ways will obviously not be able to satisfy the increasingly impetuous people's hearts. Gambling based on biological duels came into being. ”

"At the beginning, the creatures participating in the competition were all from the strong radiation area attached to Lake Demiga, and the mutated creatures were captured, and after a long time, the audience and the contestants felt that it was not bloody enough, so they began to biomodify the captured creatures......"

"By the way, listen to Ovid, you like mechanical modifications?"

Munch nodded.

"Then you should come to live in Dante City, maybe you can do it with me! Make a lot of money through biomodification. It can be said that in the field of mechanical transformation, the city of Dante is definitely a paradise for transformers. ”

"Old Deng, and then?" Apu tries to pull Ron back from the point.

"I'm sorry, but I'm excited when it comes to making money. Where did it go? Yes, contestants are free to modify any living organism without being restricted by law or morally condemned. ”

"I've seen my son transform into a robot before, and of course, in the end, it still failed."

"What are the rules of this duel?" Apu then asked.

"There are no rules, one side dies, one side wins."

"Then I can't bear to let my son compete......"

"That little boy was torn in half by a mandrill called a ghost and eaten into his stomach." Ron Yun said lightly about the disgusting picture. "By the way, that mandrill will also compete tonight, so you can wait for my fury and beat him into meat sauce."

"Okay, it's not early, you just rest in the yard at will, at 11 o'clock in the evening, I'll pick you up here, I'm going to prepare for the evening game first. If you have faith in me, bet on me to win. Ron stood up and walked towards the corner where the fury was, leaving behind three young men shocked by what had just been said.

……

11 p.m.

With the roar of motorcycles, Ron appeared at the door of the grocery store on time, followed by a young man dressed in a similar style to Ron. The two men each rode a motorcycle, and the young man parked the motorcycle and turned away.

Hearing the movement, Munch and the others walked out of the small courtyard. Ron was riding a sleek Harley, and next to it was a worn-out pedal.

"Let's go! Let's go! Beauty in my car, you two feel free. Ron gentlemanly took Apu's hand and helped her to sit in the back seat.

Munch and Calvin looked at the dilapidated scooter in front of them, and at the same time showed disgusted eyes.

"Why don't you come?" Calvin automatically sat in the back seat, which had its metal support exposed.

Looking at Ron, who stepped on the accelerator a few times and was about to set off, Monk smiled wryly, reluctantly sat in the driver's seat, started the engine, and put his feet on the pedals.

The wind blowing in the face, in the fiery red city background, brings a rare coolness to several people. If it weren't for the bumps along the way, Munch would still be willing to enjoy the fun of night riding in the city. Having been in the confined space of a water drop car all year round, he had forgotten how the wind felt.

"I've been thinking today that this duel match is so cruel that we shouldn't trade our lives for survival." Apu leaned on Ron's back, the umbrella above his head following the moving motorcycle.

"Do you know how this motorcycle came about? Fury earned it back for me, and it used the iron ball of its tail to shatter the heart of a transformed brown bear. This world is originally the law of the jungle, and even we humans need to rely on the parasitic tower to get real food, otherwise we will become defective products that survive on injections, and other creatures, how many opportunities do they have to choose? ”

"All things are created equal and have the right to live." Apu muttered quietly, as a revolt to Ron's words just now, although the voice of the revolt was weak.

"We're here." Ron spoke to Apu, and the two waited in place for a few moments before Munch arrived with Calvin, swaying left and right.

A large abandoned mine pit appeared in front of several people, and on the dark edge, only a little reddish light came out.
