Abyss Express

Rolls Royce parked on the south bank of the Thames.

You can see the history museum on the opposite bank from the pier.

Winston was a little nervous—

——Because along the way, he chatted with Robert Downing, and suddenly realized that all the awesomeness he had boasted in his life seemed so pale and powerless.

The two came to the third pier and went to the Imperial Military Museum.

They talked about work without saying a word.

"Master, you have always told me that in the Imperial Military Museum, there is a spiral staircase leading to the ground."

"right."

"The story is so bizarre that it's hard for me to believe it."

"Seeing is believing."

"I look forward to it and regret it"

"Regret what, Winston?"

"I regret that I have lived such a large part of my life to meet you, young master."

The two followed the team of passengers and set foot on the deck of the Belfast battleship - this ship was the Imperial War Museum.

Tang Ning and the staff at the station showed their security check Braille cards, and armed employees came to greet them, and led the two distinguished guests into the cabin, where they found a trap door and an iron-walled corridor.

Armed employees will send them to the corridor here, and the passengers will have to walk the rest of the way.

Winston felt very magical, he was like Alice who had fallen into the rabbit hole, and the adventures and adventures she had dreamed of were about to begin.

Judging from the shape of the observation windows on both sides of the corridor, it seems to be spliced ​​by the lounges of many submarines. At the beginning, the trend is steep and rapid, and the sound of footsteps changes from crisp to dull, which means that you have stepped on a stable river bed. .

Going forward for more than 800 meters, this seemingly endless steel corridor turns into a translucent dark green glass cover.

Winston looked straight, it was the metropolis under the Tower of London.

The Thames River is connected to the underground reservoir, and following this tunnel, it turns into a waterfall with a height difference of nearly a thousand meters, falling into the water circulation inland river of the underground city.

At the end of the waterfall, there is the baptism pool at Tiandome Station——

——Every passenger walks out of the corridor and arrives at the first place.

It is a huge pond with about 40 tons of anti-virus water diluted with Mrs. Bai's products at a concentration of about 3%. Its height can just reach the knees of the guests.

Its luxurious decoration far surpassed all Winston's imagination of luxury and wealth. When passing this only road, Winston looked down at the decorations in the pool, which were silver statues of twenty-four cats, From these animal kisses spewed clear water.

Tangning grabbed Uncle Winston's arm, and the two waded forward with one foot deep and the other shallow.

"This is the station's anti-virus program. If any vampire dares to step into this sacred place, they will be turned into a puddle of flesh in the baptism pool."

Winston immediately used his brain and developed a wonderful imagination.

"Can't vampires fly?"

Tang Ning immediately pointed to the rock walls around the path of the baptismal pool. The red monitor light was lit up in the relief mural of the image of a giant, and said to the butler.

"It's useless to be able to fly, why don't you try jumping?"

Winston stepped out of the baptismal pool, jumped a few times on the marble tiles—

——Stretched out a temperature measuring gun from the giant's mouth, and "dropped" on this mischievous guest.

"If your body temperature is lower than 20 degrees Celsius." Tangning smiled meaningfully, "The temperature measuring guns in the mouths of these reliefs will be replaced with phalanxes. Do you know what phalanxes are?"

Winston nodded immediately: "It's a 20mm shipboard close-in anti-aircraft gun."

"A lot of decommissioned warships were finally sent here to continue to protect the British Empire." Tangning continued to lead the way as she said.

After walking through the auxiliary hall lounge of the baptism pool, there is a huge tower immediately after.

It almost runs through the entire Skydome Station, like the Tower of Babel in Babylon.

As a tour guide, Tang Ning talked to Winston about the historical origin of this place.

"Above our heads is the Tower of London. Follow the tower all the way down to the jurisdiction of Skydome Station. Its name is [Rain City], or the City of Tears."

Winston walked all the way down the stairs, looking out at the view from the tower window.

It was a continuous wilderness plain, and one could see the scenery far away from a height of more than a thousand meters.

The sound of a train came from the deep underground, the rails roared, and the whistle was distant.

"The name of this tower is [Arthur] - it's 400 meters high." Tangning gestured to describe it, "About 100 floors, we need to use our legs to walk through it step by step."

Winston blushed: "Has the manager of this area ever thought of adding an elevator?"

Tangning showed a strange expression, "It may be caused by a strange sense of ritual. There is a one-way elevator in Arthur's Tower."

The voice has not yet fallen——

——A golden bird cage rose rapidly from the center of the giant tower.

It comes and goes quickly, and the passengers in it are like riding a roller coaster, being pulled from the bottom of the tower by a huge force, and heading straight into the sky at a speed of almost 60 kilometers per hour.

Winston leaned on the fence of the spiral staircase in the tower to look up. This one-way elevator consists of two steel cables and a simple pulley device. A strange golden skull is involved at one end, and the birdcage elevator is at the other end.

Whenever a guest enters the elevator from the bottom of the tower, the golden skull will fall from the height, and the natural gravity will pull the golden bird cage to the surface.

From the pit of the tower came the chime of an ancient bell, as if the golden skull struck the iron urn.

Tangning explained, "The boss calls this ceremony a Christmas gift."

Winston was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Tang Ning went on to explain: "Passengers walked out of the Merlin elevator, left the sky station, returned from hell to the world, and from the world to heaven. From the rainy city back to the Belfast - the bell means that Christmas Eve is about to pass and dawn is coming. .”

Winston: "Why use a skull to ring a bell?"

Tangning was thinking and recalling. After he came out of the big library, he didn't read much about the history of the station, so he could only piece together a relatively vague answer.

"It may be an allusion in Celtic mythology. The heroic spirits of the warriors will return to Jiuxiaotian and use the skulls of their enemies as wine glasses. to my hometown."

Winston showed expectant eyes: "It's really interesting."

Tangning began to think about it, and looked at the endless stairs: "But I said, this road is really difficult. For a fat brother who is overweight, going down a hundred floors in a row will definitely hurt his knees a lot. sky."

When the master and servant arrived at the area of ​​the City of Tears, they stopped going down.

Further down is the jurisdiction of the station. Winston has no inspiration, no spiritual vision, and can't see the inverted pentagram on the ticket, so he can only move around in the City of Tears.

Tangning and Winston boarded the bus——

——In the car, Winston can meet many strange people.

Like the young master, most of these people were dressed in beige long clothes. They said very little, but made many small movements.

For example, writing and drawing in a diary, turning on the mobile phone to send and receive messages with people.

The jewelry on them looks expensive and exquisite, and the perfume, shirts, shoes, socks, scarves and bags are all high-end goods.

Tangning and Winston said, "Uncle Spencer, I want to ask you to do something."

Winston replied immediately: "That's why I came."

Tangning continued, "I'm afraid there is danger."

Winston continued: "I have defeated the danger. I have been waiting for this opportunity for more than twenty years."

So next, Tangning told Winston his story exactly.

Including Martha, the ex-girlfriend of the vampire.

Including why you should buy a villa in the suburbs of London.

Including how Rolls-Royce was bought.

Including the source of the money and the real body of the BOSS.

When Winston heard half of it, he could probably understand how strong the hatred in the boy's heart was.

He thought, if he found a lover of his dreams.

They have been together for several years, only to find that the lover who shared the same bed should have been sent to the museum as a cultural relic, and finally died in front of him because of this sad and hateful curse, I am afraid that no one can accept it.

Wait until Tangning explained the rules of the underground world to Winston.

The bus has stopped near a cemetery in Shakespeare Town.

Tangning explained, "I'm going to do something, I don't need you to follow me."

Winston nodded: "To find the blood minion who stole the corpse?"

Tangning nodded.

Winston pressed: "What do you want me to do in the cemetery?"

Tangning: "Whistle for me, this job is very simple - you don't need to risk yourself, if there are other suspicious people or suspicious movements, you can blow the whistle immediately, if these suspicious things are sensitive to the whistle, you can Ring the bell."

He handed the summons bell and whistle to Winston, and urged, "Ring the bell first, and then call me."

When Winston got the summons bell, a heavy responsibility suddenly weighed on his mind.

"Okay, master, I hope you can spend a Christmas Eve."

The old uncle stood beside the big iron fence in the cemetery, looked at the deep and dark mass graves, and the petrified forest land two kilometers away, finally returned to reality, and suddenly woke up from the state of blood.

The bus spewed exhaust and slowly left.

Without turning his head back, the young master, holding the shotgun and the silver stake, crashed headlong into the endless night.

Alone, Winston followed the road outside the cemetery, listening to the cold howling from the wind hole in the underground cavity, and found a shelter from the wind. It seems that a long time ago, there were guards on duty here, but now it has become a deserted place. Isolated buildings, dilapidated board houses with nothing in them.

Winston squatted in front of the door, looking from side to side, always alert.

Suddenly received a text message from the young master.

[Uncle Spencer, I've thought about it for a long time, but I still think I should clarify things with you. ]

[I'm sorry for involving you in this matter. When I stepped into this dark cemetery, I started to be afraid again, and my dull brain remembered that I left you alone in this underground world What a horrible thing. ]

[No matter what happens, you can catch another bus back to Arthur's Tower, sit in the birdcage and go back to Belfast, I won't blame you, if I don't come back, everything in the house is yours , my car belongs to you too. ]

[You are a good man, thank you. ]

[If you insist on guarding for me, please be careful, these blood monsters are good at camouflage, body temperature and silver allergies can make them show their true colors. ]

[Shakespeare's Cemetery is the largest public cemetery in the City of Tears. It has a main cemetery with a radius of almost six kilometers. The poisonous miasma and dense fog in the corpses can make people hallucinate. It is common to get lost in the cemetery. There are many The hunters took their prey to Tianqiong Station to do a value evaluation, and the corpses of the unsalable disaster beasts were randomly discarded here. They probably didn't die completely, or they came back to life by gnawing on the corpses. ]

[A lot of scavengers will come here to try their luck to get treasures, don't talk to strangers, you look very scary, I believe you can protect yourself. ]

[All in all, Uncle Spencer, whatever happens, don't come into this cemetery. ]

After reading the news, Winston felt that the young master looked like a sentimental old lady.

He said viciously: "Little brat! How dare you look down on me?"

Four hours later, in the lonely Land of Eternal Night, this quiet and eerie burial area welcomed its first guest.

Winston yawned, and just let him go—he simply glanced at the clothes and demeanor of the guests. Judging by his eyesight, this was not something the young master needed to beware of, but more like a fun tourists.

Half an hour later, a suspicious-looking bald man got off the bus.

Winston finally pulled himself together, turned on the recording function, and described in detail the appearance and clothing details of the bald man.

"Master, it's 9:11 in the evening. I saw a bald man with a fishing bag sneaking into the cemetery. He is about thirty years old. He is not afraid of the cold. He likes to drink. His watch and ring are scratched. His right eyebrow is raised unnaturally, which is a muscle reflex characteristic left by his often aggressive facial expressions."

"His right leg is a little longer than his left leg. This obvious feature of long and short legs is rare. The contents of the fishing bag are heavy, and the nylon rope is about to snap. I'm not sure if it's a digging tool or a corpse."

"He has no hair, no eyebrows, and no beard on his face. This is the characteristic of professional killers. He will not leave hair at the crime scene-his finger pads have the sheen of nail polish, which is usually used by killers to remove hair. fingerprint."

"He dropped his fishing bag and started to leave. Shall I ring the bell?"

"You don't have to reply right away if you're busy."

To record the audio, Winston didn't hit the send button—

——Because the bald man had already looked over.

The bald man heard Winston's thoughts just now clearly.

The bald man just showed a very scary smile, and shouted to Winston from a long distance away: "Old man! What are you talking about?"

Winston responded immediately: "Little thing! I said you look like a killer! I want my young master to be careful!"

The bald man took out a wide-brimmed hat from his coat, covering his face, and his tone became more soothing. He took out a cigarette case from his clothes, and threw a cigarette with Winston: "This young master you are talking about? He is here Hunting in the cemetery? Are you guarding him?"

Winston caught the cigarette rod, looked at the trademark, and lit it up in disgust, with a look of familiarity: "That's right!"

From under the wide-brimmed hat, you can see the big white teeth of the bald-headed brother, with a bright smile: "Sounds good! If you meet someone like me again, be careful, don't read out what's on your mind - I won't talk to you. If you care about these things, you are afraid that some people will come to trouble you because of your criticisms."

"Hey! Thank you for your concern!" Winston asked, "What's your name?"

The bald man didn't move, and stood there waiting for the bus: "Barry, Spaniard, thirty-one years old."

Winston did not move either. "I am forty-six, Winston Spencer, English."

The two are separated by a distance of about ten meters, one is inside the house and the other is outside the house.

"Relax, I'm here to throw the corpse. I don't want to step into this cemetery. If you can do me a favor and transport the corpse to the cemetery, I'd like to give you a sum of money." Barry talked about the friendship of a cigarette, Want Towinston to do something.

"Ah." Winston was at a loss for words for a moment, and decided to cut off the friendship of this cigarette immediately, "I promised the young master that I will never step into the cemetery."

Barry's face was full of regret: "It's a pity that if the Green Gold Guardian finds this fishing bag, I will have to pay a large fine."

Winston asked curiously, "What is it?"

Barry: "It's a monster."

Winston: "What kind of monster exactly?"

Barry shrugged meaninglessly: "I don't know. I haven't studied for a few years, and I have to kill monsters I can't recognize."

Winston: "You just put it here? Leave it alone?"

Barry was a little embarrassed, and turned around to take a photo, ready to reason with the Azure Gold Guard: "Yes, if the concentration of spiritual disasters in several other cemeteries has recently exceeded the safety standard, I would not come here to throw the corpse-I am not familiar with the situation. This is the first time I’ve come here, and after throwing away the body, I’m going to take the car back to pay the fine.”

Winston laughed: "It's my first time here too."

Just at this time--

——The fishing bag trembled for a moment.

Winston's sharp eyes immediately exclaimed.

"Barry! The bag behind you moves!"

Before he finished speaking, the bald-headed brother glanced back, immediately pulled out the gun from his coat, and fired several shots at the body bag.

The piercing gunshots spread far, far away.

It was a lever shotgun that looked a lot like an M1887.

Winston couldn't see Barry's expression clearly. Under the wide-brimmed hat, he could only see the cold sweat on the burly man's chin under the cold street light.

Barry asked, "Winston, are you sure it moved?"

Winston replied persistently, "I'm sure it moved just now."

Barry then asked, "Do you think it will move?"

Winston looked at the fishing bag, and from the tattered bullet holes, he could see white pieces of meat and charred wounds.

"it"

At this very moment——

——The fishing bag swelled suddenly. It was originally a strip shaped like a human body, but it swelled into a round ball in the blink of an eye.

Winston felt a splitting headache, as if sharp and vicious thoughts were piercing the sensitive grooves of his brain like steel needles.

At that moment, Barry lost his eyesight, and only saw a fat spherical monster emerging from the scattered pieces of fishing bag cloth.

It was a strange fish like a puffer fish, with two-foot-long spikes growing out of its back skin. The flexible belly was left with bullet marks, and the sticky grease colloid almost blocked all the bullets outside the body, without hurting the internal organs at all.

Its gills spit out moist water vapor, its fish-shaped head shook slightly, and its two blood-red fish eyes moved flexibly, finally locking on to the target.

With its mouth full of fangs, it gave a distorted and weird smile towards the sky, as if it had finally found a chance, a chance for the hunter to be alone - to turn the salted fish over and feast on it.

Its skin still bears the red spots of Vita's brand, and its bloated and fat flesh is supported by two twisted thighs.

From the soft flesh of its neck emerged a sinister face resembling a skeleton, whispering sinisterly: "Kill, eat!"

For a while, Barry almost forgot to resist. He was indulging in this weird and grotesque great fear. He smelled the strong smell of rotting mold and lost consciousness amidst the huge sound. The super intimate contact with the blood-giving monster made him lose everything. Rational, the brain nerves are dead, and he fell into the dead door in an instant.

The two sharp fins are going to chop Barry's head into pieces, and they are going to hold Barry's skull and make a crunchy movement——

——In the nick of time

The sharp and piercing metallic notes overwhelmed the laughter of the fat monster fish.

From its fat belly, a tall figure emerges.

The light sword that shone with silver light cut it open almost from the tail to the head.

There was no clean spot on Barry's body, and he turned into a blood man.

Winston could see clearly.

A tall man in a black coat flashed past the cemetery just now. Like a cannonball, it crashed into the monster's body and broke out in one go.

The wolf mask had been stained with stinking blood and fish oil.

Glittering rifling and light swords sliced ​​the monster apart.

When it fell down, the strong and weird werewolf immediately rushed back to the depths of the cemetery without stopping, leaving only the corpse of the dead fish trembling.

Barry's pants were cold, and he was already pissing in fear.

Winston could not understand such unimaginable people and things.

He could vaguely see that the wolf-headed man was holding a giggling human head when he came. It looked like a young girl who was only about twenty years old, and she was wearing a miner's lamp hat suitable for lifting.

After the head was stained with blood, it would only yell out curses similar to those in Japanese horror movies.

Immediately afterwards, he was convinced that this was the "suspicious person" the young master said——

——or “suspicious” is an understatement.

Uncle Winston was trembling all over, his brain was trembling.

It was so natural when he rang the young master's summons bell.

The next bus is coming——

——Barry ran away in a hurry, and yelled at Winston by the car window

"Aren't you going?! You're not going with me? My life is important!"

Winston's mouth was very hard: "This business has not been completed yet!"

Brother Barry dropped a whole pack of cigarettes.

"You take care of yourself!"

Winston gritted his teeth—

— Grab the cigarette case.

"Thank you!"
