Chapter 409 Blood Plague

Although Jacob did not continue to guide them, anyone who was not blind should know where to go.

Because the sewage under the feet of the three people was not only filled with thick dirty blood, but also kicked human limbs from time to time.

This was getting more and more like the City of Opportunities. Chen Ke couldn't help but miss the toad that could speak the ancient language of the Scarlet Phoenix. After all, that was his extraordinary blood.

The three people tacitly stopped talking because the guards were close at hand. Under the scanning of the spiritual vision, the nearest guard was only more than ten meters away from them, just at the corner.

Chen Ke took out the dagger and approached the wall carefully, while Xu Jing stayed behind Chen Ke.

In theory, Xu Jing's spiritual power should be much stronger than Chen Ke's, but she didn't seem to want to do it herself. As she said, she didn't want to directly interfere with subjective reality.

Jacob changed his previous silence at this time. No one knew that the three had already walked into the underground periphery of the academy. Even if he wanted to play some tricks, it shouldn't be at this time.

Before Chen Ke made a move, Jacob took out the flying knife on his belt and turned the corner in a swaggering manner.

Two muffled sounds, a guard in a blue uniform holding a crossbow in his hand was kicked into the sewage by him, face down and motionless.

The crossbow in the guard's hand was hanging in the sewage, the string loosened, and the crossbow arrow flew towards Jacob. I thought this one would shoot him through, but Jacob dodged the arrow with a beautiful sideways move.

"That was close! It seems that I should be more careful next time..." Jacob picked up the crossbow from the sewage and checked it.

"It seems that we have gone deep into the underground of the academy. You should have reminded us earlier." Chen Ke took back the dagger and said.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know they would set up defenses here. The last time I came in, it was safe here." Jacob shook his head and took the quiver from the guard.

"So this road is no longer safe now?" Xu Jing asked.

"It's possible that I made too much noise last time I came here, or maybe they just suddenly thought that someone should guard the sewer. Who knows? But since we're here, we have no other choice." Jacob loaded another crossbow and looked at Chen Ke and Xu Jing.

"Kill them, and no one will know we've sneaked in." Chen Ke took out his revolver.

"You'd better not use that gun. Fire one in the sewer. The sound will spread quickly." Jacob reminded.

"Then you lead the way." Chen Ke said.

Jacob didn't refuse and walked in front with a short crossbow.

This road was guarded, and there were more kerosene lamps on the walls. The red sewage under the feet became sticky. It should be because the blood content was too high, so it was all sticky together.

Chen Ke felt like his toes were wrapped in plasticine. Considering that there were human limbs under the water, the granular soft substance must be the sediment of human fat, blood and feces.

Soon, the space above their heads became wider and wider, and the three of them entered a brand new pipeline again.

Jacob shot several guards to death with a crossbow along the way, while Chen Ke and Xu Jing were responsible for dragging their bodies to the wall.

In another empty sewage gathering center, they saw a humanoid monster hanging with iron chains in the center.

This monster had six pairs of arms, all tied with iron chains, and the skin on the back was cruelly peeled off, like an open umbrella.

This monster looked uncomfortable, because if you only looked at his head, you would find that one-third of his entire face was occupied by a pair of insect-like compound eyes.

And his six pairs of hands were also very strange. Except for the normal pair with shoulders, the other five pairs of arms were inserted on the waist and abdomen, and the eight abdominal muscles on the abdomen were the roots of the five pairs of arms.

His feet were recurved, his thighs were still in human shape, and his calves were chitinized, feeling strong and powerful, and there were also many black burrs.

He had long hair hanging in front of him, and the peeled back part of his back revealed the black keratinous muscles under the skin, and the bright red blood was all over his body.

Its black back skin was shiny and shiny, and several hooks with ropes pulled it open and fixed it into a flying wing posture.

This thing is more like a hybrid of human and insect than a human. Judging from the proportion of its limbs, it should be more than 3 meters tall when it stands up.

In Chen Ke's vision, this thing showed an information box, which turned out to be a supernatural individual in transformation, and its state was sleeping...

"It's asleep." Chen Ke whispered and looked at Xu Jing.

Xu Jing nodded, without showing any surprise. As an agent of the Foundation, she had seen everything.

No matter what method she used, in short, Xu Jing knew that this thing was not dead, but just sleeping.

This thing is a supernatural monster, at least like the toad. It seems that the sewer is a paradise for supernatural freaks.

In 1859, the impact of this thing was too great for ordinary people.

However, Jacob was as calm as Chen Ke and the others. Although he also had a surprised expression on his face, Chen Ke concluded that what surprised him was definitely not this monster.

Perhaps Jacob was more surprised why Chen Ke and Xu Jing could remain calm after seeing this monster.

At the same time, Chen Ke also noticed that Jacob seemed to deliberately keep a short distance from them.

"Jacob, have you seen this thing when you came here before?" Chen Ke asked.

"You'd better be prepared." Jacob smiled.

Chen Ke heard the meaning of Jacob's words, and he knew that he was deliberately leading them here.

"You'd better know what you're doing." Xu Jing smiled.

"Of course I know, I've always known." Jacob said coldly.

Chen Ke instantly took out a silenced pistol and pointed it at Jacob, but at that moment, Jacob did something and exploded a large ball of white flash in front of Chen Ke and Xu Jing.

"Fuck!" Chen Ke cursed inwardly. After staying in the dark environment for a long time, a ball of white light suddenly exploded in front of him, making him unable to open his eyes.

Chen Ke covered his eyes and rubbed them for a long time. When he looked up, Jacob had disappeared in front of him. He looked back at Xu Jing, only to see that Xu Jing's face was not good either. After all, as an agent of the Foundation, he was actually tricked by people in the 19th century.

"I'm sorry, both of you. I didn't mean to frame you deliberately, but I have more important things to do. I must go to the basement of the academy." Jacob's voice came from above.

Chen Ke and Xu Jing opened their spiritual vision and scanned the sky. They didn't know what the other party had done to hide behind the stone wall.

"I thought you would go in with us." Chen Ke said upwards.

"I can't get in without someone as bait." Jacob said.

"Is this the conclusion you came to after coming here last time?" Chen Ke said.

"You are definitely not ordinary people. If you are lucky, you may be able to get out alive, but before that..." Jacob said, and the sound of a revolver was heard.

"Get ready..." Xu Jing took out his own pistol and reminded Chen Ke.

"Help me make some noise."

Jacob finished speaking and fired four shots in a row, breaking all the chains that bound the monster, and shot one shot at its back.

The black keratinous muscles on the back of the monster were completely unaffected by the revolver bullets. After the bullet hit its back, it bounced to the side boringly, leaving only a shallow dent.

The pain gradually woke up the monster, and the pair of black compound eyes slowly turned red. Its head swung frequently and slightly at a certain frequency like a bug, and turned its face to Chen Ke and Xu Jing.

The monster slowly fought and found that its limbs were no longer bound by the rope, but the thin skin on its back was still pulled by the iron hook.

A whistle sounded from the sewer, and the gunshot just now also alarmed the nearby guards, but after seeing the monster break free, they all stopped and retreated shouting.

"+20 hours"

"+20 hours"

"+20 hours"

"+20 hours"

"+20 hours"

"+20 hours"

...

The monster's murderous aura rushed towards Chen Ke, and the amount of lifespan increase surprised Chen Ke.

"Hurry up and kill it." Xu Jing said.

She raised the gun in her hand and aimed at the monster, but before she pulled the trigger, her cheeks suddenly turned pale, her brows frowned, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and then she bent down and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Oh... uh..." Xu Jing knelt down in the sewage in pain, and the gun in her hand fell into the water.

"What...?" Chen Ke was stunned and turned to look at Xu Jing.

"Don't look into its eyes... memetic plague..." Xu Jing was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat, her eyeballs were bloodshot, and her face turned from pale to dark, as if she had a serious illness.

Xu Jing pushed Chen Ke away, took out her dagger and slashed her neck, bright red blood splattered, she fell into the sewage, and then turned into ashes.
