Chapter 157 Dusk
"Persian wine?"
"The blue fragments recovered from the back of the second body were fragments of a bottle containing Persi wine."
At this moment, Lin Yi was rushing towards the Dusk Hotel, while talking to Lingling in the Hunter Association through the tiny headphones plugged into his ears.
"Persian wine is a kind of spirit brewed from the eyes of three different demons. One of the demon's eyes will release a special substance during the brewing process, causing the transparent wine bottle to be dyed Blue, the association’s analysis department has detected this substance on the debris, and in the entire foggy city, this is the only cowboy tavern that still sells Persi wine.”
"Strong alcohol?!"
Hearing this word, Lin Yi's eyes lit up instantly. He had never drank wine brewed from demons, and he really wanted to taste it!
Lingling clearly noticed that Lin Yi's voice was higher and she said coldly.
"You are not allowed to drink alcohol during the commission period."
These words fell on Lin Yi's heart like a cold hammer, causing his high spirits to drop instantly.
“Understood~~”
Previously, he was caught drinking while on a commission by Senior Sister Leng Qing who was on a mission. Not only did he drag him to work as a free coolie, but he was also trained for a period of time after returning to Qingtian Hunting Station.
Excessive intake of alcohol will seriously affect a person's judgment, so drinking is strictly prohibited when hunting groups or tribunals are on missions.
Don't let your guard down where lives are at stake.
Although Lin Yi's physique makes it difficult for him to get drunk with alcohol, this is all for the sake of his safety, so he will still do it honestly.
The Dusk Tavern is located in a relatively remote location, with no street lights on the road. At this moment, the sun has gradually tilted towards the horizon. The yellow and red sunlight shines on this medieval-style neighborhood, as if it has crossed time and returned to another place. century.
After walking for almost ten minutes, Lin Yi finally arrived at the Dusk Cowboy Tavern.
Looking at the shaky signboard, Lin Yi would have felt that he was in the wrong place if he hadn't heard the sound of the wooden fan coming from inside.
Pushing open the waist door of the tavern, there were not many guests in the tavern. On the table in the corner was an old man who was already drunk and sleeping soundly. A ceiling fan hung from the ceiling and made a squeaking sound. A little breeze.
An old man who looked like a bartender and wore a cowboy hat stood behind the bar, carefully cleaning his glasses.
When the old man in the cowboy hat saw someone coming in, he didn't say any greetings. He just concentrated on wiping his wine glass. When Lin Yi sat down at the bar, the old man in the cowboy hat poured a glass of vodka and placed it in front of Lin Yi.
Lin Yi did not go to get the wine glass, but first took a look at the wine bottles on the counter, but did not see the blue wine bottle, so Lin Yi took out a photo and put it on the table.
"Store manager, I want to ask something. Do you have any impression of this person?"
As he spoke, Lin Yi took out a stack of pounds from his arms and placed it next to the photo.
The old man in the cowboy hat, who originally didn't want to pay attention to Lin Yi, took one look at the thickness of the bill and silently put it into his pocket.
"Old Baugh's son is a lazy bastard."
The old man in the cowboy hat spat, his expression slightly disgusted. It was obvious that the old man had a bad feeling about it.
"Has this guy ever been to this pub?"
"If you want this bastard to take a step forward, the drunkard will probably stop drinking. If you want to ask his son, old Baugh is over there."
The old man in the cowboy hat gestured to the drunken old man in the corner with his eyes.
Lin Yi didn't hesitate. He walked directly to Old Baofu's desk and patted Old Baofu's face, but the other party only murmured a few words in his sleep and showed no intention of waking up.
Seeing this, Lin Yi didn't waste any time. He condensed a bullet-shaped piece of ice on his fingertips and shot it directly at Old Baugh's crotch.
The ice bullet grazed Old Baugh's crotch, penetrated the wooden chair, hit the wooden floor, and left a small piece of ice on the floor.
The danger of annihilating his descendants and the extreme coldness made the already drunk old Baugh stand up instantly, and his rough face that was originally red with wine turned pale.
Seeing Lin Yi being so cruel, the old man in the cowboy hat subconsciously covered his lower body.
Old Baugh panicked and touched his lifeblood, and found that it was still intact. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then stared at Lin Yi angrily.
"You bastard! Do you want to kill me, old Baofu? Let me tell you, the person who wants to kill me hasn't been born yet!"
Old Baugh yelled at Lin Yi at the top of his lungs, and then a sense of oppression belonging to an intermediate mage came from Old Baugh, pressing towards Lin Yi.
But what happened next was not as Lao Baofu expected. Lin Yi did not show any discomfort. Instead, he easily walked up to Lao Baofu and "gently" pushed him back onto the chair.
"Don't be so angry, old man. Didn't I wake you up? Look, you weren't hurt, were you?"
Old Baofu was a little confused by Lin Yi's behavior. After listening to Lin Yi's words and the fact that he drank a little too much, he felt that what the other party said made sense, so he felt that he had done too much. Too much.
"I'm sorry, kid, alcohol has made me lose my mind a little bit. What do you want from me?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I want to ask, old man, do you know the current situation of your son?"
As soon as Old Baugh heard Lin Yi talking about his son, his originally apologetic face was instantly filled with anger.
"You mean that bastard! I was happy that he finally moved! But he's been gone for several days, and now I can't even find his shadow! I wonder where he died!"
Lin Yi looked at Old Boff's performance. It was obvious that the association hadn't told Old Boff that his son was dead. Is this how these people work? Not notifying them at the first time?
In fact, it's not that the people at the association didn't want to notify. Because the head of the body was gone, and the whole body was full of toxins, even fingerprints could not be seen, and DNA identification was impossible, which also made the association unable to figure out the identity of the body.
It was not until Lin Yi took back the uncontaminated eyeball fragments that they confirmed its identity.
The most important thing is that this case did not attract much attention from the top. After all, in this world, there are too many similar cases. It is impossible to use most of the forces to solve every murder case of this kind.
"Then old man, have you ever heard of Pershi wine?"
Lin Yi didn't plan to tell the other party that his son was in trouble, so he let the association come. He was afraid that the other party would treat him as a criminal if he told him in his current situation. Instead of getting any clues, he would cause a lot of trouble.
"Don't call me old man all the time, just call me Old Boff. As for Pershi wine."
Old Boff paused for a moment and looked out the window. The sunlight shining through the window was getting more and more slanted.
"It's almost time. If you want to drink Pershi wine, go out with me first. You can drink it later."
After that, Old Boff got up and walked out.
Lin Yi, who didn't know what he meant, could only follow him out.
Old Boff pushed open the waist door of the tavern and left the tavern. Lin Yi, who was a few steps behind, also pushed open the waist door, but at this moment, dusk had arrived.
A wonderful change was happening quietly.
Where is Mrs. Old Boff?
Lin Yi walked out of the tavern and found that Old Boff, who had gone out first, was gone.
He walked forward a few steps and looked around. There was no one.
There were only a few dilapidated wooden houses and some half-demolished houses near the Dusk Tavern. This area has been included in the scope of urban reconstruction, and some houses have been demolished recently.
On the way here, Lin Yi could still hear the sound of demolition, but now there is no sound at all.
Lin Yi felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
He turned his head and looked at the Dusk Tavern again. The sign that was originally shaky was now hanging steadily on it.
"Where are the people?"
Old Boff looked back and found that Lin Yi, who was supposed to be behind, was gone.
He glanced at the watch on his left hand and confirmed that the time had come. There were also some noises coming from the tavern behind. After the noise disappeared, Old Boff walked into the tavern again.
"Old John, did you see that kid?"
"Didn't he follow you out?"
"Forget it, ignore him. Hurry up, take advantage of this time and give me a glass of Persi wine."
Old Boff showed an impatient expression on his face.
Old John skillfully took out a small bottle of blue liquid from the secret compartment behind the counter and placed it in front of Old Boff.
Seeing the blue bottle, Old Boff quickly twisted the lid open and drank it all in one gulp.
Ha~~
"Fine! Percy tastes better!"
Seeing Old Boff's satisfied expression, Old John said helplessly.
"You are one of the few people who like to drink this wine."
"I can only say that I have a unique vision. If it weren't for the fact that this wine is so particular about drinking, I guess this wine would be a big seller."
"I thought, who knows that this wine has to be drunk at this time to taste right. If you drink it at other times, it's so unpalatable. I thought I had discovered a superb wine recipe."
Old John also shook his head angrily and said that Percy wine was a recipe he accidentally discovered in the wine cellar after taking over the old tavern passed down by his father when he was young. He spent a lot of effort to brew the wine according to the recipe, but found that the wine was extremely unpalatable, and the sewage in the toilet was better than this.
He originally wanted to dispose of this batch of wine later, but the alcoholic old Boff saw it and drank some secretly when he was not paying attention.
It was not until then that he discovered that Persi wine would become delicious at dusk, and after dusk, Persi wine would return to its disgusting taste.
"Aren't you going to find your son? Someone has come to the door, maybe something happened."
"Why bother with him? If he comes back and stays at home every day, he might as well die. Don't talk about this. Give me another bottle while there is still time!"
"Hey! Lingling! Can you hear me?"
Lin Yi said to the micro headset, but only a rustling sound came from the other side.
Trouble, according to past experience, he may not be in a normal space, otherwise the communication headset specially made by Qingtian Hunter would not be so easily cut off.
Looking at the dusk tavern with a faint blue light inside, Lin Yi's intuition told him not to act rashly, but to find a way to leave this weird space first.
But suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air came from behind Lin Yi, and Lin Yi's dragon sense also became stronger at this moment.
But the opponent was too fast, and Lin Yi had no time to dodge.
Silver dragon scales covered his hands like a tide. Lin Yi turned around and crossed his hands in front of his chest, and at this time a huge axe hit Lin Yi's dragon scale gauntlet.
The powerful force knocked Lin Yi away, and the huge axe smashed Lin Yi into the half-demolished house behind. The house, which was already unstable, collapsed under this huge impact.
Boom!
A huge sound rose in this space, but the sound of the collapse was mixed with other sounds.
I saw a thick iron chain covered with blood on the ground, and the huge axe that hit Lin Yi was slowly dragged out of the collapsed house.
The sound of the collision between the iron chains continued to echo, and the axe was soon pulled back to a huge axe handle by the connected iron chain.
With a clang, the huge axe was reconnected to the axe handle.
The huge figure holding the iron chain and blood axe was looking in the direction where Lin Yi flew out, and his mouth was still speaking an unknown language.
Boom!
A figure instantly jumped out of the ruins and fell to the ground.
Lin Yi looked at the huge figure about 500 meters away from him with vigilance. At this moment, his hands were slightly lowered, and the dragon scale gauntlet covering them had become uneven, and many dragon scales fell to the ground.
A tingling sensation was coming from Lin Yi's hands.
The situation is a bit bad.
Just now, Lin Yi had already prepared a posture to prevent impact, but he was still easily knocked away by the handle of the giant axe. It can be imagined that the power of the creature that threw the axe is definitely above Lin Yi.
The worst thing is that he can't summon A Pu and others. Although he can still keep in touch with them through the contract, the two sides are like an invisible wall in the middle. They can know the situation on the other side, but they can't get to the other side.
Fortunately, the natural talent can still work, but the extreme dragonization is probably not useful.
The extreme dragonization requires him and Chi Hui to merge into one before it can be used, and the current situation obviously cannot meet this situation.
"A Pu, use the contact tool you put there to contact Ling Ling, nothing will happen to me."
Ouch!
Apu also responded to Lin Yi through the contract. Fortunately, he had developed a habit of not staying in the contract space, and he just left the tavern earlier than Lin Yi, so he was not pulled into the strange space.
After hearing Apu's reply, Lin Yi could only delay until Lingling rescued him.
Boom! Boom!
A huge sound echoed in the space, and the huge figure was approaching Lin Yi step by step.
Seeing this, Lin Yi also took a deep breath, and the dragon energy returned to the gauntlet, restoring it to its perfect state.
After adjusting his breathing, Lin Yi looked at the huge figure, and his eyes were filled with a hint of bloodthirstiness.
Another dead line, I really admire myself
