Struggle in the Steam Age

The dining room of Hans's house is not very big, but whether it is the beige tablecloth, the polished candlesticks on the table, and the small vase of flowers placed in the middle of the table, this small restaurant is full of the warmth of home feel.

The same is true for dinner, Mrs. Hans prepared a total of nine courses including starters and desserts. Especially the wonderful smell of the roast goose that was placed in the middle of the dining table as the main course tonight made Lawrence feel that his stomach was empty and he needed to have a quick meal. "

It's a pity that just after everyone sat at the table and just finished eating the mini cheese and onion pie with cream of mushroom soup as a starter, a sudden knock on the door interrupted the harmonious atmosphere in the room.

After hearing a knock on the door, Frank went out and opened it. Soon he came back with a serious face: "I have something to go out now, so you don't have to wait for me for dinner."

"Frank, what happened?" Molly looked at her husband worriedly and asked.

"There was an accident at the police station." Frank explained to his wife while changing clothes, "some strange phenomena appeared in the special underground prison, and the sheriff on duty hadn't come up since he went down to check, so as a criminal investigation Team leader, I must go now."

"Let me go with you." Lawrence stood up. "After all, I was also one of the witnesses in that case. I think my ability should be able to play a role in this situation."

"Wow... okay. It's really hard work for you." Frank agreed to Lawrence's request after thinking for a while. "By the way, for safety's sake, you can take Edward's gun with you later."

Under the worried eyes of several people in the restaurant, Lawrence and Frank walked out of the gate fully armed. There was a black double carriage parked at the door, and a man in police uniform stood behind the carriage holding the reins with a serious face. After seeing Frank come out, he raised his arm to salute Frank.

After Frank returned the salute, he took Lawrence into the carriage. Before Lawrence sat down, the policeman at the back flicked the reins and made the two horses pulling the cart run wildly.

"When you came out, did you know what happened in the underground cell?" Frank turned his head to the policeman behind and asked loudly after the carriage started running. "For example, you just said that there are some strange phenomena, can you talk about them in detail now?"

But I don't know if it's because the wind is too strong or the policeman is in a hurry, Frank yelled many times, and the policeman driving the carriage behind the carriage didn't answer.

"I think we may have to ask after we get to the place." Frank said to Lawrence helplessly, seeing that the inquiry was fruitless. "It's really not suitable to talk while driving a carriage."

Because the sun is going down soon, but the gas street lamps have not yet come on, so the road is a little dark. In particular, the dense street trees on both sides of the road cover most of the light, making it almost impossible to see people on the street. Only when passing the entrance of St. Gutenberg Cathedral did some lights from the church illuminate the street at the entrance.

"No." Just as the carriage continued to move forward for three or four minutes and was about to reach the destination, Lawrence suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness sweeping over him. But soon, the phantom of Bai Ze floating in the sky above his mind emitted a circle of light waves to wake him up.

Lawrence immediately pretended to be hypnotized and leaned against the wall of the car, but he opened his eyes slightly and observed the policeman driving the carriage through the palm-sized window at the back of the car.

The policeman looked the same as usual now, but Lawrence subconsciously felt that there seemed to be something wrong with him. So he quietly raised his left hand and released a [Protection from Evil] towards the policeman.

The magic took effect immediately after touching the policeman: the policeman froze for a second, then his neck crooked and he fell into a coma. At this time, Lawrence also felt that something wrong with the policeman behind him disappeared.

"Damn it!" At this moment, the car suddenly bumped, and Lawrence realized that he was in a carriage that had lost control. Fortunately, his previous experience of living in a small town allowed him to overtake those farm carriages, so he Immediately bowed forward and took the reins of the horse, and then slowly stopped the carriage.

"Now we're in big trouble." Lawrence looked around, and found that they were only a dozen meters away from the target police station, and at the same time, two policemen were already walking in this direction.

"Damn it, it's too late to call someone now." Lawrence put his hands in his pockets thinking, then jumped out of the car and threw a handful of silver powder at the two policemen as they approached.

Lawrence's skillful throwing of the powder enveloped the mouths and noses of two people who were a few meters away. The two policemen were putting their hands on the sabers around their waists and preparing to draw them out. After being hit by the powder, they subconsciously took a breath, and just like the policeman driving the carriage, they passed out in a coma.

"Fortunately, although I didn't bring a weapon when I went out just now, I still took a few gadgets I made during the day with me." Lawrence looked at the two unconscious policemen and let out a sigh of relief. Although the magic of protecting against evil is very useful, his current level of magic power can release six at a time. It is definitely a very important thing for him to save some magic power.

Just when he was about to step forward to check the two policemen who fell to the ground, a strong sense of crisis spread throughout his body, and the hairs on his body immediately stood up.

The moment he felt the changes in his body, Lawrence rushed forward to the right like an arrow off the string, and then rolled to the outside and hid behind a street tree.

That is, the moment his body left the original position, accompanied by a scream, a dark red mass smashed the gate of the police station and rushed out.

"Boom." With the sound of a heavy object falling into the water, the ball directly hit the place where Lawrence was standing just now. At this time, what he discovered was a mass of blood-red mucus. After the mucus fell on the stone slab in the street, it immediately made a big hole. At the same time, the liquid made a squeaking sound when it touched the stone slab on the ground.

Lawrence was surprised to see these stone slab fragments bubble up one by one after meeting the liquid, which was visible to the naked eye. There are traces of corrosion.

Seeing this scene, Lawrence felt a cool wind blowing behind him. He felt that if he hadn't dodged in time, the person who collected his body after this move would probably be able to put the rest of himself in a matchbox.

"What's going on here?" Lawrence nervously hid behind the tree and pulled out the pistol at his waist, then he broke the hammer and stared nervously at the door of the police station that had been blown open. "What the hell was that just now?"

Just as he was thinking about what to do next, the door with a big hole opened slowly under his nervous eyes, and then there was a sound of footsteps.
