Chapter 70: Tracking (Part II)
Rumble......
There was a loud bang from the man in black, and the silver-plated bullet quickly unloaded and flew towards the vampire who was running wild through the streets. In the next second, the miserable cries of vampires were heard from the dark alley. Obviously, when it comes to hunting vampires, the man in black is more professional than himself.
Rhodes followed, trying to catch the vampire long before the two of them, and he was already falling behind, after all, the strength type of warrior could not keep up with the agile type of hunter......
To Rod's surprise, although the man in black was a human, he was incredibly fast, and after the bullet hit the vampire, he jumped off the roof, grabbed the clothes pole between the two houses, jumped to the balcony on one side, and then used the balcony as a springboard, stepping on the top of the eaves on the first floor and jumping to the middle of the road.
By this time, the vampire had fled for his life again, however, two ranged weapon hits had left an indelible mark on him, and a line of visible blood stretched all the way to a manhole cover entrance.
The Castle of Secret Whispers does not have a complete sewer system, but it is just that the town does not have it, it does not mean that the castle does not have it, and it is the Caspar Lord family who lives in the castle, and they still know how to enjoy it, and they still pay attention to hygiene.
The men in black ran wildly ahead, Rhodes was in hot pursuit, and Yeskovich didn't know where he had gone.
The manhole cover at the entrance to the sewer had just been lifted and before it could be closed, the man in black and Rhodes jumped in one after the other. It was pitch black inside, with mud and sewage under his feet, and in front of him, a faint light flickered, and Rhodes knew that it was the lighting tool of the man in black, but what it was, it was completely unclear now, and even his identity was a mystery. Secret police? That's too dutiful...... Spy on yourself and chase vampires...... But who else but the secret police?
Stepping on those disgusting mud and slurry, Rhodes continued to chase in the direction where the light came from, the sewers were extremely dark, and Rhodes couldn't help but think of the bottle of owl potion that Dafort gave himself in the rat man's lair, which could see things clearly in the dark, however, that potion was very rare after all, and Daffert didn't leave half a bottle after he left. If so, you can see it all by now.
Soon, even the faint light in front of him was gone. Rhodes came to a three-way junction where the sewers formed two passages, resembling a diversion structure. It may be that during the previous construction, there was a solid ground such as a large rock, and it was impossible to excavate, so it had to be dispersed and drained.
Just as he was hesitating which way to go, Yeskovich emerged from the darkness, he had changed back into human form, and he didn't know when an extra torch had appeared in his hand. With the light of the fire, the tunnel suddenly opened up, and you could see that the whole sewer was fairly clean, only the mud and muddy water, and there was no disgusting excrement in sight, after all, this sewer was only for the people in the castle, and how many people lived in the castle? less than a tenth of the population of the town.
Having lost their goal, Rod and Yeskovich could only walk slowly through the tunnel, and the mysterious man in black was gone. Rod took the torch from Yeskovich's hand and leaned over to check the ground, some sporadic blood stains were still recognizable, as well as the footprints on the mud, these footprints were different from ordinary human footprints, it looked messy, sometimes even used on all fours, which reminded Rod of the scene he had seen on the roof of the house before, the vampire was lying on the pony like a big spider and sucking blood, although his appearance still maintained the appearance of a human, but the movements were similar to that of a beast. This explains why these footprints are so messy. Since there were also handprints, it is conceivable that the vampire was running and climbing in the tunnel, but it must have been much faster than humans.
As the two of them carefully examined the footprints and bloodstains, a terrible scream suddenly sounded from the darkness, like a gust of wind hitting Rod and Yeskovich. Rod instinctively raised his torch and looked ahead, as he drew his weapon and faced the direction from which the sound came. A huge shadow threw Yeskovich to the ground and dragged him deep into the dark tunnel!
The shaman screamed, and Rhodes was about to chase after him, when he heard a familiar gunshot in the darkness. 400
Like a white light, a silver-plated bullet shot out of the darkness and hit the vampire again. The sound of a metal bullet piercing flesh can be heard.
Hit again, the vampire screamed and threw down his prey, fleeing deeper into the tunnel again.
Yeskovich fell to the ground, panting, although he was a shaman, but after all, he was also a human, and it was good to be alive in the event of a human being raided by vampires. Rod pulled him up, and could see that Yeskovich's neck had been torn open near his shoulder, and the sharp and small tooth marks on it were clearly visible, and scarlet blood was pouring from the wound.
"It has to be bandaged first. ”
Behind him, a male human voice was heard. Rhodes turned his head to see that it was the man in black who had been chasing and killing vampires all the way just now. He tossed a packet of gauze and a small bag of herbs to stop the bleeding.
"Why? Who the hell are you? Why do you want to help us?"
Rhodes bandaged Yeskovich's wounds and asked the mysterious human gunman warily. He was the same as he had seen in the tavern, his outfit seemed to have not changed in days, it was still the same black fur coat and brown undershirt, and he wore a delicate metal watch on his wrist, shiny enough to reflect the light of the torch. The only difference was that at this moment, the man in black took off his high round hat, revealing that emaciated and vicissitudes of life.
It was a warrior's face, covered in scars, like a claw scratch, stretching from under the eye socket to the chin.
"Specialized in purging evil people. According to you, it's a witch hunter. The man in black replied briefly, "It's too late to explain, and quickly follow after bandaging, the monster shouldn't have run far, it's injured." ”
With that, the old witch hunter picked up the torch on the ground, held the special revolver in one hand, and walked into the tunnel.
The bloodstain vanished in front of an iron gate, not to be exact, but impossible to trace. Because the iron gate seems to have been deliberately placed here, it is locked from the inside, and it is very secure. It is estimated that the owner of the castle deliberately ordered people to build it in order to prevent the nezumi from sneaking up.
It's strange that vampires actually have keys...... Because the bloodstains and footprints that led the people here, but they disappeared, only proved that it had escaped from this iron gate.
"This sewer connected to the castle, and it fled from here to the castle. We didn't have the key, so we had to wait until dawn to enter the castle to investigate. ”
The witch hunter whispered. From his short but powerful words, Rhodes could sense that this guy must have been here for a long time, the Imperial witch hunters are some crazy people, in order to hunt their targets, they can lurk in one place for months, and they will not hesitate to crouch until they are constipated. This would explain why I met him as soon as I entered the tavern, to be exact, this guy was not staring at himself, but at Caroline, after all, wizards were also one of their targets. It's just that maybe it was because he sensed that Caroline was not in danger of threat and degeneration, and a group of people with explosive combat power were around to protect him, so he didn't do it for a long time.
