1. The Road to Lüders (xvi)
PS: Update the next chapter tomorrow morning, preview: Tomorrow night's new chapter will have an animal legion......
Turn the street and enter the narrow alleys between abandoned buildings.
The ground was almost flooded with domestic and construction waste, and a rancid and moldy stench hit the face. The word "Demolition" written in red stands out on the walls stained with various colors, and a few wild dogs looking for lunch in the garbage heap pull their heads out of rotten leaves, arch their backs, and roll out their throats with a low "whine" and show their fangs at the intruders.
The sharp gaze in the shadow of the hood gently swept over the scrawny wild dogs, who immediately let out a panicked scream and disappeared around the corner of the alley.
The city of Kenabum is filled with V.E., Stasy's eyeliner and special workers, and the inhabitants of the Dark World appear in ordinary lives as if nothing happened, but when they exchange information or deal with things they don't want to be noticed, they will find the blind spots of the city.
Now, in this blind spot. The young man took off his hood and opened his mouth coldly:
"Don't hide, come out. ”
"There's no hiding or hiding, but I've been waiting here. ”
Laughter came from the depths of the empty and dirty alley, and the shrunken purple eyes reflected a man covered in darkness.
He looks like a job-seeking young man in his early 20s, with upside-down dark red hair, a pointed chin, and a freckled face. In addition to the two dull hairs on the forehead that bend forward, the most impressive thing is the funeral-like outfit.
Extremely similar to a guy with a black fetish, the black suit and leather shoes in mourning clothes wrap the frivolous man, and the quiet and elegant black outfit that the teenager is used to seeing, this man's outfit reflects the exaggerated taste, and there is a smell of leather shoe polish and hair oil in the air.
"It's the nature of this cockroach to appear quietly, so don't be surprised. ”
"Cockroaches?"
Looking at the pretentious young man who was bending down to salute, the young man repeated the salutation with a slight surprise. It's unheard of to use a household vermin that infests kitchens, bathrooms, and garbage heaps as code names, but look at the man's tentacle-like twitching hairs on his forehead, walking down the alley full of scraps of paper, metal, and crockery without making a sound. The boy was relieved.
This man, in appearance and behavior, is very consistent with some of the characteristics of pests.
"It's nature, but it's actually an occupational disease, but the labor law doesn't give a judicial explanation for the health problems in our profession other than death from overwork and death. Even if you want to see a doctor, you can't reimburse your medical expenses...... Ahh ”
"Really? I think it makes sense. Knowing that his patient has a profession of kidnapping ladies, it is normal for the doctor to have a biased attitude. ”
The young man raised his eyebrows and took out a note from his coat pocket, "If you don't want the woman to have an accident, go to the demolition site at the right turn at the fourth alley in front of Boulevard Montmartre. The words trembled with the breeze.
"It's such a profession that you can't look at directly. ”
There is no anger, no harshness, and there is no ridicule under excessive rational calm. There is also pent-up anger.
The young man's hand was always on his waist, and his right hand was not moving. The breath was also very slow, just like the cheetah before the storm.
According to the answer of the cockroach, it is very likely that the next moment it will be decided whether a fierce battle will break out in the alley.
"It's scary, it's scary. The good atmosphere for negotiations is about to be destroyed. That's a problem. ”
Scratching his head, the third-rate businessman continued with an unchanged smirk:
"Please rest easy, the ladies are professionally protected by us and are safe at the moment. We don't plan to stupidly use such low-level means of coercion, and fight against beam weapons, although it is not completely impossible to win, but the physical body against the particle beam or something, this cockroach is still not sensitive. ”
“...... It's really thoughtful. ”
"It's a matter of salary and brains here, how can you deal with it leisurely. ”
The cockroach seems to have a bad habit of chatter and appetite, and has always been unserious, always talking about marginal topics, and stopping as soon as it reaches the key point.
This kind of obscuration of the listener's patience and observation of others waiting for an answer may be his hobby, and seeing the young man's poker face, which did not respond at all to the provocation, the dull fur tentacles drooped down, and the cockroach smiled, and said:
"You think so too...... Young Master Roland Darker. ”
"Are Stasi's killers so fond of?"
Roland held his posture and coldly replied.
"How could it be? It's just that I haven't talked to anyone in common sense for a long time, and I can't keep my mouth shut. ”
"So, is that enough for now?"
Fed up with rap and vulgar jokes, Roland pulled his bare hilt from his waist, the crystal flashing with a dangerous lightning flash.
Dull questions dominate the negotiations.
"Where are Gloria and Venia?"
“...... Where are you looking?
The annoying man in front of him disappeared from the spot, a sneer with bad breath blowing into his neck, and the image reflected from the sewage pit in front of him made Roland want to gasp.
The brown-haired man was sneering behind his back - in a vertical wall gesture.
"If you want to raid the cockroaches, you are still 300 million years early, little master. ”
As one of the oldest insects on earth, cockroaches can sense a breeze at a speed of 2 centimeters per second by relying on the tentacles on the tail lobe-shaped sensor tube, and transmit the air flow information they perceive around them into the nervous system similar to the auxiliary brain, and the body will take evasive actions in an instant.
It took only 0.044 seconds to feel the strong wind from the fly swatter to the cockroach taking action, which is about 10 times that of a human.
"I'm not like dragonflies who use so many complicated techniques to locate the enemy's location and movements. By sensing the flow of air, I can detect the subtle flow of the opponent's breath, and the enhanced and improved nervous system will dodge the enemy before they attack, and then leisurely circle behind the stationary opponent and send them to another world. ”
"Is that how you killed that maid?"
"What a maid, she's such a good woman, she's wonderful. ”
The cockroach licked her lips and excitedly talked like a child who confessed to pranks.
"There are a lot of big strong men in that mansion, Ogissan, can you believe it? Many of them wept like little children, and cried out with snot and tears in their eyes, let me go...... What fools! How could it be possible or let them go? This is rare good material! It is really tragic to see the self-righteous big man wriggling like a maggot, his self-confidence and pride all shattered, and writhing and struggling with the last bit of hope before death. Oops...... If you try it once, you will be obsessed with it, and at the same time realize how boring other methods of killing are!" (To be continued.) )
