Chapter 66 Extreme Joy Begets Sadness
In the deep and dark underground building, Klein held a lantern and went around the hall, carefully checking whether there was another entrance. Of course, he didn't dare to enter the corridor leading to the innermost room, and the regrouped snakes The group was blown away by the cold wind again.
After getting an affirmative answer, he took the initiative to retreat to the gate, and together with the three living corpses, he watched Sharon, the bodyguard lady, place explosives in different positions.
"It looks very professional." Klein sighed with emotion in a low voice.
And the three living corpses undoubtedly did not respond to him.
However, there is also a reason for this, he has always used his spirituality to shield the negative effects of Azik's copper whistle, otherwise, he will encounter an unusually enthusiastic "echo".
He didn't intend to bring this ancient and exquisite copper whistle, but considering the need to beware of evil spirits, he had to sacrifice some spirituality.
"Miss Bodyguard, no, Miss Sharron is really not bragging when she says she is an expert in blasting..."
"She was originally engaged in this industry? Or, a certain sequence in her Extraordinary Path made her good at similar fields? According to the information I read when I was in the Nighthawks team, this roughly has the Sequence 9 'criminal', 'prisoner', 'Warrior' and 'Hunter', the 'Security Officer' of Sequence 8, the 'Weapon Master' and 'Knowledge Keeper' of Sequence 7, heh, the latter has a nickname called 'Detective', which belongs to the God of Knowledge and Wisdom The church... I don't know the rest..."
"I don't know which way Ms. Sharon will go. It doesn't look like it. She also showed the ability to command living corpses this time..."
Among Klein's endless associations, Sharon completed the arrangement and ignited the fuse.
Hey Hey hey! Why not remind me! Only then did Klein come back to his senses, he was startled, and hurriedly exited the hall and entered the outer corridor.
And the three living corpses followed behind him calmly.
"It's safe here." Sharon suddenly appeared beside him.
Klein breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Will dust be shaken down here?"
"Yes." Sharon gave an affirmative answer with one word.
"That's good." While speaking, Klein took another step back.
Hissing, the sound of burning fuses reached his ears,
Make him a little irritable.
This emotion was not because he was afraid of the next explosion, but because a boot never hit the ground.
"1." Sharon said suddenly.
"Huh?" Klein couldn't understand what the other party meant.
Rumble!
The ground trembled violently, smoke and dust suddenly fell from above, Klein's ears buzzed, and he couldn't hear other sounds for a short while.
If he hadn't been a "clown", he would have lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Cough cough cough! He diverted his attention and was not ready to cough. He saw huge boulders and mud falling rapidly in front of him, blocking the entrance in an instant.
In the remaining tremors, Klein tightly grasped the copper whistle that Mr. Ards gave him, observing its reaction.
Although he had pre-divinated and obtained the result that this trip was not dangerous, after all, it involved six humanoid statues of orthodox gods. Even if it was the enlightenment obtained above the gray fog, he did not dare to believe it completely, and the interpretation itself It is also possible to make mistakes, so he cautiously used Azik's copper whistle to judge whether the evil spirit had escaped from it.
The surface of the copper whistle was cold and soft, and there had been no abnormal changes. Klein was completely at ease, looked at the living corpses beside him, and confirmed one thing from their eyes, that is, he was currently very disheartened.
That's good, it's in line with the explanation I'm going to give to Mr. Miller Carter later... I didn't waste my effort to come here after changing clothes... He walked to the entrance and confirmed that it was completely blocked.
Without making a big fuss, only the "apprentice" path and Extraordinary people like Miss Sharron will be able to enter in the future. She has ruled out many potential competitors, no wonder it's free... Klein stared at the stones and dirt, Secretly sighed.
Of course, I can too, I have a spirit-like state! He smiled and added silently in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm.
"Call work." Klein snapped his fingers flamboyantly, and led the three living corpses back to the basement of the house in a hurry, but Sharon disappeared at some point.
In the spacious basement, Miller Carter was pacing back and forth anxiously, looking at the secret door from time to time.
After seeing Detective Moriarty and his assistants come out in neat numbers, he immediately let out a long breath and asked anxiously:
"What happened inside?"
Klein panted deliberately:
"The underground building is too, too old, and it hasn't been repaired for a long time. We were originally trying to drive snakes away, but the action was a little too big, which caused a violent collapse. The whole building collapsed. Fortunately, we were close to the door and escaped in time. out."
"The storm is coming! Is that building so dangerous?" Miller Carter clenched his fist and punched his left chest.
"Yes, there are always only a few well-preserved ancient buildings, and the rest have collapsed in the long river of history." Klein responded, "Let me lead you in to take a look and confirm the situation."
"Is there still a collapse?" Miller asked cautiously.
"No, this side is stronger." Klein deliberately patted the dust off his body, coughed twice, and then led the employer in for a turn, staying at the entrance that was completely blocked, and the walls near the hall were the same. It has collapsed, and behind it are stones and dirt.
"You can use this part." He pointed to the hallway area.
Miller was silent for a few seconds and sighed:
"Fortunately, I didn't let people go in to explore hastily, but I found you, a professional, otherwise I will bear several lives."
"Okay, this entrustment ends here, and I will give you the rest of the reward."
While speaking, Miller Carter took out his wallet, counted it, and was a little embarrassed to find that there were only thirty or so pounds in cash.
"Fortunately, I have other money, otherwise I have to go to the bank." Miller muttered, looked up at Klein and said, "Do you mind accepting gold coins?"
"No, I don't mind any form of money." Klein smiled.
The gold pounds of the Kingdom of Loen, in addition to being large banknotes, can also be gold coins, which is also the guarantee of the face value of the banknotes.
However, in the more than a hundred years since Emperor Roselle, the people of the Northern Continent have become more and more accustomed to banknotes, and some members even want copper pennies to have corresponding banknotes.
Gold pounds in the true sense are rarely circulated in the market. Only some old-fashioned gentlemen will attach a fixed box to the other end of their pocket watch chain, and put some gold coins in it to prevent accidents.
This is both peace of mind and habit.
Miller nodded, followed the golden watch chain on the clothes, and took out a box that shone with golden light from a certain pocket.
Pa, he opened the box, took out five gold coins, and the banknotes he had counted out earlier, and handed them to Mr. Detective in front of him.
Klein didn't shy away from anything. After counting it once, a gold coin popped up suddenly, and he spread his palms to catch it.
"Thank you for your generosity." He glanced at the portrait facing upwards, showed a sincere smile, then put his hands on his chest, and bowed to Miller Carter in salute.
Well, if it is another detective, even if the entrance and passage are blown up at this time, after returning, there will definitely be nightmares, abnormal noises in the house, mental weakness, and the feeling that someone is staring at him at any time and other problems. It will take a long time for the infestation of the evil spirit to disappear, but we are different. Miss Sharron herself is like a female ghost. I will be fine if I go above the gray mist. As for the three living corpses, even You are not afraid of death anymore, so what are you afraid of? Klein complained a few words in a good mood, then bid farewell to Miller Carter, turned and left the house.
When they came to the street, the three living corpses walked in another direction without saying hello to him.
Miss Sharron left... Really confiscated the employment fee of the living corpses... Klein raised his arms with a smile, and waved at the backs of the three living corpses.
After that, he went home and changed into normal clothes, and went to the Cragg club for gun practice.
After having a dinner by the way as a reward for the successful completion of the mission, Klein took the public carriage and returned to Minsk Street.
The gloomy and dim environment was illuminated by gas street lamps. Holding a cane, he strolled leisurely along the street.
Suddenly, he had a premonition that was not good but not bad either.
what's the situation? Klein looked up and found that two police officers were leading a police dog over, and they seemed to be conducting interrogation along the way.
Check? Interrogation with police dogs? The impact of the serial murder case? The smell of cloves and gooseberries left behind, so extra police dogs? Klein couldn't help but slander.
The history of police dogs can be traced back to the Russell period, but the number has always been small.
Considering that he has a lot of items on him, and considering the premonition just now, Klein planned to take a detour and walk from the other side.
But at this moment, the two police officers saw him and motioned him to stop.
The corner of Klein's mouth twitched, and he waited where he was with a smile on his face.
"Routine investigation." After approaching, one of the police officers showed his ID.
"Okay..." Before Klein could finish his sentence, the police dog suddenly growled and barked at him non-stop.
This, this is the smell of gunpowder on me? The smell of gunpowder left over from gun practice in the afternoon? Klein realized instantly. He glanced at the guarded expressions of the two police officers, took it into consideration, and said with a smile on his face:
"It's like this. I picked up a revolver on the road, with an underarm pouch and bullets, and I want to give it to you."
He slowly took out his revolver, raised his hands to his shoulders, and added with a serious smile:
"Officer, I really don't have a gun illegally."
A police officer was on high alert. A police officer took the pistol and said solemnly:
"You have to go back to the police station with us."
"Okay." Klein replied with a bright smile, "But I have a request. Please inform my lawyer, Mr. Jurgen Cooper. I can only undergo a body search under his witness."
