Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability
Chapter 23 Black Scorpion
boom!
Maggot was in a hurry to dodge the flying stab of the evil dagger, but the revolver in his hand failed to move forward and down with Lumian's body. The bullet hit the opposite wall, causing stone chips to fly everywhere.
With a jingling sound, "Fallen Mercury" flew past Maggot again and fell to the ground not far away. Lumian snapped his body upright and stepped quickly on the enemy's instep with his right foot to prevent him from lifting his knee and hitting his abdomen.
Immediately afterwards, with his hands almost touching the opponent, he struck or smashed with his hands, raised or blocked with his elbows, kicked low or stepped hard with his feet, pushed forward or bounced with his knees, suppressing Maggot until he was exhausted. Unable to parry, there was no way to aim and shoot.
The villain only felt that the opponent's attacks were like a storm, continuous and endless, always close to him, using short-range techniques, and not giving him a chance to distance himself and use firearms.
For Maggot, such fighting techniques are unfamiliar and dangerous.
boom!
Maggot's elbow hit the wall, causing the house to shake slightly.
Snapped!
Maggot's right wrist was pushed back, and the black revolver came out of his hand and fell to the ground.
Bang, bang, bang, Lumian used his hands, elbows, knees, and feet in succession, causing the enemy to retreat continuously, leaving the left and right in a state of embarrassment.
In the end, Maggot was blocking completely based on instinct, and his mind could no longer keep up with Lumian's movements.
However, he felt that he had grasped the pattern of the opponent's attacks, figured out the corresponding routines, and could prevent all attacks with muscle memory alone.
If you wait a little longer, he will be able to counterattack!
Following instinct, Maggot raised his right foot to stop the opponent's low kick.
But he didn't block anything.
Lumian's left foot stretched out diagonally in a posture that exceeded the flexibility of the human body, and picked up the silver-black short knife lying quietly next to it.
The purpose of his violent attack just now was to force Maggot close to the "Fallen Mercury".
The silver-black short knife flew up and stabbed Maggot's thigh.
On the one hand, Maggot was firmly suppressed by Lumian, and on the other hand, he was only standing on one foot. He was unable to perform many actions. He could only retract his right foot and turn his body slightly in order to dodge.
"Fallen Mercury" flew past his thigh, scratching his sail-colored trousers and leaving a thin bloodstain.
Bang bang bang, Lumian once again used the close-quarters bunt technique taught by Aurore to attack wildly, suppressing Maggot so much that he had no time to deal with the leg injury.
Fortunately, the wound was very shallow, leaving only a little blood.
boom!
Maggot backed up and hit the wall with his back.
At this moment, his raised arms were holding nothing.
He was confused and stunned when he saw the weird man with a white bandage on his face take the initiative to step back and distance himself from him.
Then, the weirdo turned around and ran. On the way, he tiptoed, flicked up the silver-black short knife, and grabbed it in his left palm.
Maggot was stunned for a second, and was about to catch up, when the sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the alley.
Two police officers on patrol at night heard the gunshots and were informed by nearby residents who "went downstairs" due to the fire. They rushed over with black semi-automatic pistols.
"What happened? What are you Stinger Gang doing?" One of the policemen asked with a frown when he saw that he was an acquaintance.
Glancing at the two policemen wearing white shirts, black vests, and black uniform jackets, Maggot replied disdainfully: "I was attacked, officer, you came too late!"
After all, that weirdo should also be the "provocateur" of Sequence 8, and his fighting skills are obviously better than his, and he designed it layer by layer to take the initiative and gain an advantage.
The policeman who asked the question had a serious look on his face: "Then you come back with me to record a statement, and we will help you find the attacker.
"Also, is this your gun?"
He pointed to the revolver that had fallen to the ground.
Maggot sneered: "You guys are looking for it? Haha, this is the funniest joke I've heard this year!
"That gun belongs to the attacker. Take it from you."
After speaking, he briefly checked the wound to confirm that it was not poisoned.
He then stalked out of the alley in front of two police officers.
The police officer who initially asked the question had an ugly expression and tried to draw his gun, but his companion held his hand down.
Back on Nightingale Street, Maggot's expression darkened.
His most instinctive thought was to go home quickly and use preset traps to guard against a possible second wave of attacks.
After a few seconds, Maggot abandoned the plan, feeling it wasn't adequate enough.
He planned to go to the home of Roger "Black Scorpion", the leader of the Stinger Gang, to tell him about the attack and stay there for one night.
That was the safest place Maggot thought.
After briefly bandaging the wound on his right leg, Maggot ran wildly, running all the way from Nightingale Street to Market Avenue, near the Suchit Steam Railway Station, and to the third building with a small garden behind No. 126. in front of the building.
Soon, he met Roger "Black Scorpion" in the study.
This is a middle-aged man with black hair sticking up back, a slightly fat face, and cold and deep blue eyes.
Roger was wearing aqua blue pajamas and pajamas made of silk, and looked at Maggot expressionlessly: "Were you attacked?"
"Yes." Maggot told what happened exactly.
Roger's blue eyes suddenly became dark, as if they were connected to an abyss with no bottom visible or a hell with no light.
After a moment, he nodded: "There are no traces of being cursed."
"But be careful, that knife has your blood on it."
"Let me help you eliminate the hidden dangers first."
"Thank you, boss." Maggot was visibly relieved.
He followed Roger out of the study and down the stairs into the basement.
After turning the switch and lighting the gas wall lamp, Roger "Black Scorpion" pointed to the statue in the center and said, "Open it and get inside."
The statue is of a woman with soft features, and the folds of her long skirt are lifelike.
Maggot took a few steps to the statue, opened the secret door on its belly, and climbed in.
As the secret door closed, the basement became extremely quiet.
"Black Scorpion" Roger looked at the statue and read out a word in ancient Hermes: "Rebirth!" Illusive, lake-like black flames suddenly appeared on the surface of the statue. They flowed like water, quietly. combustion. After thirty seconds, Roger said to Maggot: "You can come out now."
This is a way to eliminate the hidden danger of the curse - using the behavior of entering and coming out of the belly of a female statue to symbolize "rebirth", and combined with the corresponding extraordinary ability, you can disconnect from things that fall into the hands of the enemy.
"Wait for me in the study, and I'll look for clues about the attacker." Seeing that Maggot had nothing to do, Roger ordered.
Magette nodded, quickly walked out of the basement, returned to the study, pulled up a chair and sat down.
As time passed by, Maggot suddenly felt that his body became extremely heavy, and his whole body seemed to be sinking into water, getting wet and chilling little by little.
His breathing became labored.
Maggot's hole instantly enlarged, but he couldn't see anything.
He struggled hard, as if he was tied up by ropes, and could only move his arms, fingers and feet with great difficulty.
thump!
Maggot finally let himself roll to the ground, but the abnormality did not disappear. His face became more and more purple, his mouth opened wide, and his thoughts gradually blurred.
Why with such thoughts, Maggot fell into darkness.
At the basement door, Roger walked out with a solemn expression.
"Has a strong anti-divination ability..." This matter is not simple. "Black Scorpion" Roger returned to the study while thinking.
The next second, his vision froze.
He saw Maggot lying on the ground, his face was purple, his lower body was wet, and he was no longer breathing.
After the leader of the Stinger Gang performed a ceremony to eliminate the hidden dangers of the curse, he died mysteriously in the safest place of the Stinger Gang, in front of Roger "The Black Scorpion".
Golden Rooster Hotel, Room 207.
Lumian, who had already changed his clothes, nodded with satisfaction.
"Fallen Mercury" trembled to tell him that the exchange of fate had been completed.
This means that Maggot will immediately be attacked by the ghost of Monsouli.
——After stabbing someone else, it takes a long time to complete the exchange of fate. Depending on the fate you want to exchange, the strength of the other party, and the degree of subconscious resistance, it ranges from five or six minutes to twenty or thirty minutes. If the target It's Lumian himself, and he opens up his body and mind, and even his subconscious can't wait, so he can exchange fate very quickly, in a few seconds or more than ten seconds.
Looking at the silver-black short knife in his hand, Lumian smiled and said: "When I have time, I will teach you the Morse code. Otherwise, every time I communicate with you, I have to constantly exclude options based on your feedback, which is too troublesome. "
The trembling blade of "Fallen Mercury" stopped for a moment, seeming a little shocked.
Lumian, who had successfully hunted, was in a good mood. He smiled and joked: "Are you thinking, why do I need to learn how to use a knife? A person must have ideals, and the same goes for making a knife. Do you want to be like this for the rest of your life?"
He then asked: "What fate was exchanged this time?"
Lumian asked as he extended his spirituality to this silver-black short knife engraved with layers of patterns.
With the cooperation of "Fallen Mercury", he slowly figured out what the drops of fate stored in the knife represented: it was the fate of stacks of banknotes that Maggot took from different men.
"You are quite good at picking." Lumian was busy fighting before and "entrusted" the matter of exchanging fate to "Fallen Mercury", but only told it in advance that he was a little short of money recently.
After praising "Fallen Mercury", Lumian fell into deep thought: "How will this fate be realized after the fate is exchanged?"
