Lord of Eternal Darkness

Li Xiaoming knew that it was very dangerous for him to do this. After all, the air in the sewer was thin and might contain toxic gases and some weird creatures, but he had to take a gamble when he saw the other party entering.

Fortunately, Titan City treats the sewers as underground transportation. When a war breaks out, people can escape from here, and it is even a residence for some homeless people.

Of course, that was almost a long time ago.

Therefore, the sewers were regularly unclogged and cleaned, sludge was removed and drained, and necessary hygiene was maintained to avoid Li Xiaoming's fate of being smoked to death as soon as he went in.

Only the light guided his direction, and he was surrounded by darkness. There were footsteps in front of him, gradually fading away.

Li Xiaoming hurriedly took his cell phone to illuminate it, and only saw Tang Zixu's back. The clothes looked familiar, it should be him.

He breathed the last breath of fresh air, tried his best to calm down his excitement, and quickly chased after him, while summoning the red snake to be on guard.

The ground underfoot was very slippery and sticky, with moss growing on the edges. Next to the road was a dirty, dark river, with waves tumbling inside that gave off a stench, and some garbage drifted slowly.

Here is a collection of the city's domestic wastewater, as well as some people's abandoned memories. A piece of paper was flushed down the toilet and came here, and the writing on it turned into chaos.

Li Xiaoming relied on the versatility of contracted creatures to obtain the ability of snakes to maintain heat sensing in the dark for a period of time, but he still felt that holding a light was reliable.

Li Xiaoming really couldn't bear it. Working in the sewer, what exactly was he trying to do?

He walked slowly, and suddenly realized something was wrong. The passages here extended in all directions, and he couldn't tell the direction at all. Unknowingly, he seemed to be taking a detour.

"Tang Zixu, where are you? What do you want to do?" Li Xiaoming asked loudly, and the only response he received was a gradually disappearing echo.

Suddenly, a red figure emitting heat appeared in the field of vision. Because he couldn't see his appearance clearly and needed to be vigilant, he turned off his own light.

He rushed over quickly, took out his pistol and put it to the opponent's head.

The opponent slowly raised his hand, then turned around and punched him directly. Fortunately, Li Xiaoming reacted quickly and took a step back.

The other party's real target was the gun in his hand, and he took it back directly.

"who are you?"

Li Xiaoming was suddenly stunned. "Tudes, why are you here? How many minutes have I been wandering around?"

Tudes was also dumbfounded. He heard that the other party went down to the sewer and he followed him there. He didn't expect to meet him again.

"It seems that we have all been fooled." Tudes said with a somewhat self-deprecating smile.

"No, I'm not playing tricks on you. I just want to wait until you are all here before we go together."

A sound suddenly came from behind, and then a click was heard, and the entire sewer suddenly became brighter. It turned out that there were lights in the sewer.

The two of them turned their heads and saw that it was Tang Zixu, who was staring at the two of them expectantly.

"Why did you bring us here? Or are you ready to surrender?" Tudes raised his pistol and pointed it at the opponent.

Tang Zixu said quickly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to fight with you. It's better to change to another place than here. After all, I'm not a 'night watchman' or a 'gravedigger'. The environment here is very bad, so I need to Your help.”

Tudes put the gun away. He didn't want to accidentally misfire, so he let the other party lie in front of him, so that all the clues were cut off.

"Tell me, what's the reason?" Both parties wanted to talk.

"It's not a big deal. Although I am a thief, I also love life. I was hit by a car when I was chased by you yesterday, so I hid in the sewer to rest my body, and then I discovered something weird."

Although Tang Zixu felt that it was not decent for a gentleman like him to hide in the sewer, but he was seriously hit by a car, so he had to take a rest and find a place where he would not be easily found.

Li Xiaoming asked: "Is there anything weird about it? Could it be a trap for you to commit a crime?"

"Don't misunderstand me. I won't get along with you two unless I'm full. I can't explain it in just a few words. Please come with me and have a look."

In order to show his sincerity, Tang Zixu walked straight over and opened his hands to show that he was in no danger.

"That's enough, stop. I believe you. If you dare to play any tricks, I will blow your head off."

Turdes also put away his gun. Although he was still on guard, he was also very curious. What could make a criminal cooperate with law enforcement?

"Very well, please follow my footsteps." Tang Zixu said happily.

The three of them walked together, watching everything around them in this small sewer.

It seems that a copy of the sewer is about to be created. The dark passage is full of dangers. Some fluorescent green algae floats in the water in front, and a faint light illuminates the surroundings.

This environment also harbors a large number of rats and animals with unknown mutations, so everyone is uneasy.

There were three people traveling together. Tu Des walked in front, Tang Zixu followed behind, and Li Xiaoming was responsible for standing at the bottom to prevent this guy from escaping.

I saw a black mouse that was bigger than a cat, with red eyes, squeaking strangely at the three of them, and then disappeared into the ventilation duct as soon as it turned its head.

"The fact that someone who likes cleanliness like me can accompany you to dig into the sewer pipes shows that I am serious. After finishing this work, I don't know how many showers I will have to take when I get home."

"Why don't you take a shower? Come to the police station to take a shower." Tudes said with disdain.

Li Xiaoming frowned. As a slightly mysophobic person, it was obviously difficult for him to tolerate such a dark passage dripping with mucus. Moreover, the light in front was gone, so he could only use the light of his mobile phone to illuminate it.

Tudes said that these are minor problems, as long as Tang Zixu can be caught.

When he was in the army, the environment as a special forces soldier was even worse than here. He trained intensively every day, drank sludge water when he was thirsty, and ate some game to satisfy his hunger when he was hungry. Sometimes he couldn't make a fire to eat raw, and when he was tired, he hung himself from a tree. Go to bed.

Anyway, just do it no matter how hard it is. Sometimes you have to eat in the toilet, three bowls a meal.

Of course, now that he is old, his skills may not be as good as before after he retires, and his figure may be a bit put on.

But the courage forged in the army still made him fearless and he could move freely in the sewers.

A rat with enlarged red eyes swooped over and was shot directly in the head by Tudes.

The disgusting blood and internal organs splashed directly onto Tang Zixu next to him. I thought he would scream, but to his surprise, the boy frowned, flicked his finger lightly, and continued to follow closely.

Li Xiaoming said, brother, when will you return the gun to me?

But seeing the other person's face, he was obviously embarrassed to ask this question. After all, he seemed to have lied to him. People who carry guns with them... were probably not trustworthy.

"Buzz."

Suddenly, the sound of wings vibrating at high speed came from all around. With the help of the light, Li Xiaoming saw clearly that there seemed to be something like a hornet's nest in front of him. In the sunken hole, it seemed like countless pairs of eyes were watching three people.

"There seems to be something wrong with the situation ahead. Please be careful." Tudes took out a dagger and paired it with a pistol.

There are creatures around guarding the nest. What kind of weird thing is that?

Its tail is bloated and fat, the patterns on its two pairs of wings are like blood vessels in the human body, and its head has six eyes that look like red agate, paired with six twisted and slender little feet. It looks so ugly and dangerous.

As expected, the other party had noticed these three uninvited guests.

And the number is increasing. Under the light of the mobile phone, you can clearly see their mouthparts, which are extremely slender and sharp, sticking out like needles.

There are also carcasses of small animals around, turned into white bones and left here.

Except for Li Xiaoming, the other two people felt the fear coming from their genes. The strange sound kept shaking their eardrums, and in a daze, the monster had flown in front of them.

The two people reacted and started to attack. Tang Zixu took out the flying knife from nowhere, and the frequency of the attacks was not weaker than Tudes' shooting speed.

Because this kind of thing moves slowly, it can almost hit the opponent.

But there were too many opponents, and after the bullets shattered the creature, you could still see its slender limbs slowly lifting, with yellowish-brown blood flowing out, and smelling like a stinky ditch. It was really disgusting.

Li Xiaoming frowned, I'll go! What a big mutated mosquito, like a bird.

He quickly pulled the two people and ran away. Fortunately, the mosquitoes in the dark hated the light and gradually dispersed.
