Chapter 642: Against the World (4)

a shotgun?

In front of Chaofan, it is no different from a fire stick. Right now, the gentlemen of Scotland Yard have distributed silver-plated cold weapons and holy water, which are much more effective than revolvers.

However, for a child, a weapon like this that can hunt medium-sized animals is undoubtedly a weapon for self-defense.

Frankly speaking, Lu Li has already determined that the bump behind the door was caused by the missing Dick, but he still has doubts in his heart.

It can be seen that the child was in a panic at that time, but why did he turn back and get the gun? You know, after passing through the living room and entering the corridor, you have to make a choice, either go upstairs and go back to the room to hide, or go into the basement and choose to use a gun to deal with the pursuers.

Empathy.

A child who was so terrified that he needed all his strength to even push the door, and smashed his hand into the wooden wall, how could he have the courage to take a gun.

"Madame Eugenie."

Lu Li opened his mouth to bring back the lady beside her who didn't know where her thoughts had diverged.

"What... what's wrong."

"What's Dick's personality like? Introverted or lively, does he have the habit of going to the wild to watch his elders hunt?"

"He is very shy. He used to play with relatives' children and never spoke."

Madam Eugenie was a little excited. She felt that Lu Li had discovered something, so she was very frank, and continued: "There are even rumors that he is gay."

"..."

Little boys are thin-skinned and embarrassed to play with the opposite sex, which is also a common thing.

Therefore, Lu Li didn't care.

"Does an introverted child have the courage to shoot and resist?"

His eyes fell on Holmes, and his tone seemed to be seeking proof, but also seemed to be discussing.

"There are two possibilities."

"In the process of escaping, he came to the basement for the first time. After finding the weapon, he found that it was ineffective against the pursuers, so he could only continue to escape."

Having said that, Holmes shook his head, he himself was not inclined to this, but just said it as a possibility.

"What about the second type?"

"He kept trying to escape, going from outside to inside the house, and repeating the process many times, until finally he was desperate, thinking of an old shotgun in the basement, and had to fight back."

File back!

Lu Li instantly understood what Holmes meant. Dick ran away repeatedly, from downstairs to upstairs, and then from downstairs to upstairs, trying to get rid of his unfortunate fate. After a long time, he found that the only way left was to kill the other party. Courage to find the gun.

"The traces we saw just now are not superficial, even for adults, it is impossible to make them in one go."

Compared to Lu Li, Holmes observed more carefully. When he went downstairs to search for other clues, the detective kept staring behind the door.

The traces continued to expand, and the degree of impact was different. Obviously, it was not caused all at once.

"So...you don't even need to look for the maids who used to work here. The kitchen, bathroom, and Mrs. Eugenie's room are all normal, and there are only traces on the escape route."

"The one percent has to be ruled out. After all, we don't have direct evidence."

After saying that, Holmes turned to Madam Eugenie and asked, "Can I borrow the phone? I need to call the nearby police station to find out whether the shotgun was stolen by the servant."

"Please help yourself."

Watching the back of Holmes climbing up the ladder, Madame Eugenie continued to sob. She heard the present and understood that the child seemed to have experienced torture and was constantly being chased by monsters.

"Please rest assured, we already have a clue..."

Lu Li was not very good at comforting people, so after a few dry words, he lost his mind.

According to Holmes' conjecture, Dick had stayed in this room for a long time, maybe he was still in this room at this moment, curled up in a corner, watching it.

Thinking of this, Lu Li expanded his perception to the limit, and Madame Eugenie, whose shoulders were trembling slightly, stopped crying. She felt that something was staring at her, and a little granule began to appear on her skin, but there was no feeling of being overwhelmed in her heart. Fear of dangerous creatures chasing.

One meter...two meters...

Holmes, who walked to the side of the telephone, paused for a moment and looked towards the basement.

For a werewolf, super perception is an essential fighting quality, not to mention that Lu Li is not an ordinary werewolf, his final form can interfere with time and space and cause and effect.

Although he has not become a complete body now, after learning some exclusive skills, the inner power deep in his blood has been further excavated. Even though he is far away from the final form, he is still extremely sensitive to space.

At this moment, Lu Li wanted to try to see if he could get in touch with that mysterious space through his own power.

The major premise, Holmes' argument holds true.

Minor premise, ability can do that.

Just like that, the room became silent.

A hand rests on the empty gun rack.

Will it work?

With its own perception.

Does Duke have any runes that can communicate with other worlds?

Lu Li, who closed his eyes tightly and amplified his abstract perception to the limit, had various thoughts rushing in his mind, and then all of them were suppressed.

As time slowly passed, the surrounding air seemed to stop, turning into a tangible solid.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Li's ears began to hear rustling sounds, and they became more and more rapid, which made people think of drumbeats, but according to the deduced situation, it should be the sound of footsteps.

Dick ran quickly on the floor and up the wooden stairs.

click.

The top floor planks of the basement were opened.

Lu Li felt that his mind was stained with psychedelic colors, and when he saw a colorful figure, he jumped in.

Then, there was a strange sound, accompanied by the sound of metal friction, very slight, as if the gun barrel was being filled with projectiles...

Lu Li, who had entered a state of high perception, became extremely "imaginative". He saw a Flintlock shotgun being lifted up by a figure, facing the entrance of the basement.

boom!

The fire lights up.

Before he had time to see the appearance of his pursuer clearly, Lu Li withdrew from that state. He felt extremely painful in his head, as if the machine had been overloaded and fell into a long buffer period.

"Da da da……"

There is a sound echoing in the ear.

A strange feeling came to Lu Li's mind. When Lu Li opened his eyes, there was a desolate place.

He froze for a moment, not because he was afraid, his heartbeat rhythm didn't change at all, nor was he frozen due to the sudden drop in temperature, but he couldn't breathe, couldn't speak, he froze like a bystander who couldn't do anything.

However, Lu Li could clearly feel that something evil was staring at him, and it wanted to kill not only Lu Li, but everyone.

"gentlemen……"

"gentlemen……"

"What's wrong with you?"

The call and the violent shaking from his shoulders brought Lu Li back to reality.
