The malice behind Chapter 30
Andre's face was much rotten, and the coarse rancid smell filled the air, and he could vaguely see his fear and struggle before his death.
But other than that, Lucian could no longer find anything or traces related to the strange cause of his death.
"What does this have to do with Aaron Gang's recent low-key?"
After contemplating quietly for a few minutes, Lucian found a rag, wrapped his hand, and then pressed Andre's body into the water heavily, although he didn't know how he was hung by the barbed wire before, but this time, he would not have such good luck.
Andre's body followed the flow of the dark river, passed through the barbed wire, and was washed into the Belen River.
Throwing the money bag and rags into the dark river, Lucian stood up and turned back, but this time, Lucian did not take the path he came, but changed direction at a fork in the road more than twenty meters away, so as not to encounter the group of beggars again, and this road, according to Lucian's comparison of the route he had walked, would pass through the ruins of the witch's magic laboratory and return to the entrance of the sewer he entered.
After walking a few meters around the fork in the road, Lucian suddenly heard a sound of heavy footsteps.
These footsteps are messy and staggered, transmitted so far and so clearly in the quiet, closed sewer, as if a large group of people are walking far away, and the weight of several of them is very exaggerated, which is why it causes such a heavy effect.
Lucian straightened his back, looked left and right at the corridor he was walking on, and soon found a depression not far ahead, although it was not enough to cover his body, but as long as those who came over, they could not find it from the outside unless they came in to check carefully.
With his back pressed against the wall, Lucian waited for a few minutes, and finally waited for the group to pass.
Perhaps it was too smooth in the past and there were no problems, so the group of people just casually glanced at the corridor where Lucian was hiding a few times, and then continued to walk forward.
"You guys, throw these corpses down quickly. May the Lord bless them quickly be eaten by the sharp-billed mullet." A low voice sounded, coming from afar in the closed and quiet sewer, but there seemed to be some air leakage when he spoke, so that many syllables were inaccurate.
Lucian was going to take this opportunity to leave, but this voice made him frown: "Why is it so familiar, who is it?" I began to think about everyone I had met.
Then another familiar voice came from Sean: "Why are you collecting so slowly, don't delay the big thing."
"It's the old man who tried to preach." The second voice, since Lucian had only heard it for a long time, recognized it directly.
The first voice was silent for a moment, and replied with a hint of fear: "Don't worry, within ten days, we will definitely get it together, Boss Aaron has already ordered it, at all costs."
Aaron, Longsang? Aaron?
Lucian immediately recalled the owner of the first voice, Jackson, who brought people to smash his house and was beaten by himself and John.
The old missionary smiled grimly: "Please tell Mr. Aaron and the man, as long as you can cooperate wholeheartedly, we will never let you down, don't look at me as powerless, but in the light of God, I am just the tiniest replier, several priests are strong enough to compete with the bishops of the Truth Cult, if it weren't for maintaining that thing, I wouldn't need your help at all."
"Okay, I'll tell Boss Aaron." Jackson replied emotionally.
After a few plops, someone spoke again with a tremor: "But, Brother Jackson, it's very difficult to find the kind of guy who is missing and not noticeable, it's really difficult to gather fifty in ten days, and I don't know where the beggars in this sewer have gone, except for yours, I can't find a single one." The last sentence was said to the missionary old man.
The old missionary man laughed: "Of course it was washed into the Belen River and became food for the sharp-billed mullet."
Jackson took a soft breath: "Scar, don't worry, Boss Aaron has already said it, at all costs. As long as we don't provoke the nobles, priests and people in high society, even if we kidnap others, he will use all his connections and resources to solve it."
"Boss Jackson, do you have a goal?" Scar asked hesitantly.
Jackson sneered: "Scar, you've seen and done so many things, do you still want to quit? Don't forget Andrey! As for the target, hum, my cheeks still hurt faintly, how can those two bastard boys and their family be let go!"
Hearing this, Lucian almost couldn't suppress his anger, Jackson wanted the lives of himself and Aunt Alyssa's family in order to talk about not much serious hatred, which was really vicious enough.
But soon, Lucian controlled his anger, because he had heard a lot of such strange characters, and it was not uncommon for him to kill the whole family for a few dollars or a quarrel: "Fortunately, I heard it, otherwise, John and I would still be able to deal with it, but Uncle Joel, Aunt Alyssa, and Evan would probably not be spared."
"This matter must be resolved as soon as possible." Lucian thought quietly, with murderous intent, if he let Jackson and the others leave the sewers, where would he go to find them, at that time, he would not be able to separate himself, how could he protect the Joel family, who knew when and where Jackson and the others would attack, "As long as we kill them all, the rest of the Aaron gang will not think about us for no reason, with this time buffer, we can make up an excuse to reveal to John and let him solve the problem of this cult through Sir Wayne."
At that time, as long as Lucian told John that he had overheard a beggar preaching blasphemous remarks, the beggar had lived in the sewers for a long time, as long as the church or knights went to the sewers to investigate carefully, they should find some clues.
If Lucian didn't do it now, but reported it directly through John, then as long as the old missionary man and those cult beggars were caught, he would not be able to explain that he had been to the sewers.
Lucian became calmer and calmer, touched his pockets, and after confirming that the casting materials were easy to access, he walked to the corner with a slight footstep to the cover of their voices, carefully snooping.
There were nine of them in total.
There were too many people, Lucian was not completely sure to kill everyone, and there was even a possibility that they would unite to kill them, but at this time, he could no longer back down and could only calmly give it a try.
…………
Scar and his two companions threw the last sack wrapped in the body into the dark river, and then trembled and stabbed it with a long pole so that they could pass through the big hole deliberately made by the barbed wire.
Although they are all villains who have killed people, they still can't accept digging out the hearts of living people.
After glancing at the strange and mysterious old man, Scar held back his trembling heart and said: "Brother Jackson, it's over, let's leave quickly, I heard that there are many water ghosts in the Belen River, if you swim in......"
"Okay." Jackson looked at the old missionary man, "Does the appearance of water ghosts in the Belén River have anything to do with you? After all, throwing so many corpses into it coincides with the timing."
The old missionary shook his head: "We don't want to make any other movement before things work out. Aalto is the western core of the ancient magical empire, maybe there is a strong death force emanating somewhere in the Belen River, in short, the Cult of Truth has not noticed us yet."
Jackson was about to order his men to leave when he suddenly saw Scar's expression turn frightened, and a strange, awkward, short and hurried voice sounded behind him at the same time.
Scar saw a dark shadow standing quietly in front of him, more than twenty meters away from Jackson and the old missionary man, only half of his body and face were exposed, blurred under the fluorescent light of the moss, full of gloom, weirdness and horror.
"There is a ghost in the sewer!" This is the fear that Scar has been suppressing in his heart after participating in the cult to save his heart - he is afraid of being retaliated by resentful spirits and ghosts, and he does not dare to go to the Truth Cult to seek purification for this kind of thing.
Just when Scar saw the black shadow, the strange mysterious man raised his right hand, and countless shimmering dusts floated out, and a strange syllable that did not sound like a human voice came out of his mouth.
Jackson and the missionary old man, as soon as they heard the voice, turned around and found the mysterious and terrifying black shadow, but before they could take two steps, the light around them strangely disappeared completely.
It was dark, reaching out and not seeing the five fingers, except for the missionary old man who was still very calm, Jackson, Scar and others were extremely frightened, waving the daggers in their hands indiscriminately, not letting anyone get close.
But the passage was not wide, and they stood very close, and in the midst of this swing, someone was immediately stabbed and screamed in pain.
And the screams once again aroused more fear in Jackson and the others, because they were panicked because they fell into the strange darkness, and when they heard their own screams at this time, they were even more worried about their own safety, so they swung the dagger harder.
"Forbidden Light", informal magic, creates a dark area 6 meters long and 6 meters wide, which cannot be illuminated by ordinary light sources, and can last for one minute during the apprenticeship stage of apprenticeship.
"Calm down, calm down, oh!" Although the old missionary man didn't even have the level of a trainee pastor, it didn't prevent him from listening to the priests mention some common sense of magic and magic, this strange darkness must have been created by the mysterious man, first of all, he couldn't panic, and secondly, he had people rush in all four directions, this darkness could never be shrouded too much, but as soon as his calm shout came out, he was stabbed by a dagger by Jackson, who was in a state of panic, and screamed in pain.
In just ten seconds, in the darkness, two people had already been stabbed to the ground, and several others had more or less some wounds on their bodies.
Driven by fear, Scar and the other four fled back, that is, in the direction of the water entrance, but what they didn't know was that from where they were, to the barbed wire, everything was shrouded in darkness.
Jackson, the old missionary man, and another gangster rushed forward, rushing towards the mysterious man.
Because he couldn't see the road in the dark, he only ran out two steps, and before he could see the light, immediately a beggar and a gangster thug fell into the dark river, making a plopping sound.
At this time, the heart-pounding, strange voice sounded again.
