Sinmonger Chapter 24: Witness


It was still late at night, and Jeff followed the snake bet to the street outside. The snake bet's plan was to throw him to the regular army of the Empire. He didn't get any useful information from him, so now This commoner becomes a burden.

Originally, the snake bet was going to leave him in the house. The food there can last for some time. Maybe when the pollution passes, Jeff can survive. But Jeff also seems to understand the current situation very well. He has seen many **** scenes of people being torn apart by mutant creatures. If he had to choose, he would rather go out and take risks with the desire to survive, rather than stay passively in one place and wait. Things get better on their own. .

Snake betting took him to a large casino where Jeff was found by a hl troop preparing to withdraw and he walked over alone with his hands up, in civilian clothing and without a weapon, so those troop's The sentry did not shoot indiscriminately in the first place.

Watching Jeff being accepted by the army, the gambling snake overlooking the top of the distant building leaves.

Since the situation of the research institute is basically clear, the blood owl and the others can do it. The ability to gamble on snakes is not suitable for dealing with monsters. He is better at dealing with people... So, he returned to the city and continued to look for this time. The target person of the task.

As an old song goes, "This city never sleeps." Atlantic City, right now, is exactly that.

In the dark night before dawn, the city is like a shivering tramp, curling itself up, under the dim street lights, it makes people feel a little warm, and countless sleepless mutant creatures are like morbid Like blood cells, roaming the blood vessel-like streets.

"Dead" or "Alive". The snake gambler couldn't tell whether the monsters were "dead people" or "something that was still alive."

What does it mean to be alive? If social status and relationships represent a person, there are too many worthless living dead in the world, even if they die. It will not have any impact on the outside world, and likewise, they will not be aware of the death of any individual like them.

Perhaps these monsters are alive because of their appearance. Every time they kill and hunt for food, they will bring fear to others and transform their own interests. This is something they can't do when they are still 'humans' .

Killing. It is also a way of communication.

The operation of the snake gambler is not as smooth as it was in the first half of the night. Since the electricity in the city has been restored, it will be more troublesome to hide the whereabouts.

Stalking through the city again now, he found many places where people were hiding the last time he passed. Or the location that is regarded as a stronghold has changed. Just in the interval of most of the night, many stragglers have become food for monsters. Of course, there are also signs that some of the squad evacuated from their original location after the power was restored. went elsewhere.

Secretly inspected the location of several teams, but Gambling Snake did not find the target. He became more and more worried that the person had died in the city, and consciously accelerated the speed of action.

Until the sun rises. Gambling Snake also probed a few places where humans gathered, but still found nothing. He was also attacked several times by several agile monsters on the way, but fortunately he was very skilled. The attention and reaction speed are excellent, and those mutant creatures are solved without damage at all. But after all this tossing, Gambling Snake had to find a place to stop and rest for a while, add some water, and restore the body to a certain state.

He nimbly climbed the fire stairs of a building, found a room with an open window, and slipped in easily.

There is no smell of blood in the room, which is a good sign. Gambling Snake first explored all the rooms one by one, and after confirming that it was safe, he relaxed his vigilance and walked to the kitchen.

You can always find some liquid drinks in the refrigerator, but if you open the refrigerator, there will also be ice water that melts after a power outage.

The Gambling Snake went straight to the refrigerator, but just as he put his hand on the handle, the door of the refrigerator suddenly popped open from the inside, and a thin man was standing in the refrigerator, holding a shotgun, pointing out and shouting: " Don't move!"

The man was taken aback when he saw the situation in front of him, because there was no one in front of him. He wondered in his heart: I heard footsteps approaching here just now, and the timing of rushing out was just right. Even if the other party wanted to dodge, it couldn't be so fast?

Just as he was about to lean out to take a look again, something resembling a grenade flew in from an eerie angle and landed at his feet. The man was shocked because the bottom of the refrigerator door was about It's on his knees, so it's going to be awkward for him to bend over to pick up that thing, and there's a good chance he won't be able to or won't make it in time, so he instinctively fires the gun and scrambles to get out of the fridge.

But a strong hand, in the blind spot of the man's line of sight, closed the door of the refrigerator, the man couldn't open the top, and struggled a few times in the refrigerator like crazy, causing the entire refrigerator fell down. The side of the door is facing down, this time he can't escape even more...

Five minutes later, the man regained consciousness. When he opened his eyes, he found that he had come out of the refrigerator. Before his brain could resume operation, the physical discomfort hit him quickly, and he ran to the sink to the side. , lying there and vomiting for a long time, as if to turn his stomach over.

After finally breathing down, the thin man turned around and looked at the guy behind him who was sitting on a chair with a gun and looked like a killer. He asked with a wry smile, "How did you know I was in there?"

"The idea of ​​hiding in the refrigerator is not bad." The snake replies: "But you have made two serious mistakes. First, those separators that are taken out of the refrigerator should be destroyed or thrown away. Going somewhere else and hiding it under the bed is very inappropriate. When I found out just now, I basically guessed that there was someone in the refrigerator. As for the second..." He unexpectedly threw the shotgun back to the thin man's In his hand, "The humidity in there is too high, and the barrel is equivalent to being soaked in water."

"Okay, friend, maybe I'm being a little rash, but you shouldn't be using tear gas either, in such a small place," the thin man complained.

"That's not tear gas." Gambler replied, "If it were, when I opened the refrigerator door, the whole house would be affected, and I'm in this area."

"What are you throwing?"

"My self-improved gadget, I call it 'Skunk's Egg', would you like to hear the recipe?"

"Gu..." The thin man vomited some stomach acid after hearing this.

"Now, let's get down to business," said Gambler.

"What? What business? I don't know what your name is."

"I know your name, that's fine." The snake gambler said word by word: "Mr. Selz Iron, there is an old saying, about iron shoes and so on, I once heard others say I've been up, and now I think, that's the case."

"Ha...haha." Seltz gave a too fake smile: "What are you talking about, man, my name is..."

"It is undoubtedly an outstanding talent to be an aide of the Cleiss family at the age of twenty-five." The snake bet interrupted the other party's lie and said: "You are a smart person, so you have been doing it for a few years. Later, you fled with a huge sum of money, countless secrets, and of course a few fake identities in exchange for a high price. You were bold, greedy, and wise."

"I don't know what you're talking about..." Seltz still seemed reluctant to admit it.

"Don't worry, I'm not the one sent by the Clays family to hunt you down. If I were, you'd be dead." Gambler said: "Let me remind you, assuming you feel your paper-level ability. It can threaten my life, or it can help you escape, then you have made a mistake again, and the consequences of this mistake are far worse than hiding in the refrigerator."

Selz's eyes widened, and he was sweating coldly. In fact, he was vaguely aware of it. When the snake bet killed the refrigerator door with his hand just now, he obviously had completely suppressed himself in terms of strength. At this moment, the other party Speaking of the ability level, with such a tone, it is nothing more than announcing the gap in strength.

"What do you want?" Seltz, as Gambler said, is a wise guy.

"You should ask, what am I going to give you," said the snake.

"A bullet?"

"No, it's redemption." The Gambler raised his head slightly and looked him in the eye: "You used to serve a sinful family, but today, you can be the key person in their demise."

"Ha...hahahaha..." Selz said: "Are you crazy? You might as well just give me a bullet, do you want me to testify against the Clays family? Hahaha... ...in the imperial court? Didn't you find out who opened the yamen? I said man, you might as well go into their house alone and see if you can kill a few."

"If I tell you that there is a certain high-ranking person who is about to eliminate the Clays family, and he is lacking the last bit of help..." The snake bet paused for a while~IndoMTL.com~ wanted to observe Seltz's response also gave the other person some time to think: "Would you like to be that help?"

"Who the **** did you send?" Seltz was completely confused: "Are you the Emperor's spy? Must be! Under these circumstances, find me in this city..."

Snake Gambler ignored his behavior and continued: "Those transactions of the Kleis family...drug trade, organized prostitution, human trafficking and arms trade, etc., it is not difficult to collect their criminal evidence, but It is very difficult to use 'legal' means to bring them down without a single witness.

You, Selz Iron, are a powerful witness that history may engrave your name, as long as you make the right choice and do what every person with a conscience would do. "

"Hmph... Just based on your empty words, I should believe that the Clays family will be destroyed?" Seltz sneered: "I don't believe it! They are too powerful, bigger than some princes. How is it possible..."

"Why can't they be defeated?" Gambler's cold tone turned out to be very convincing: "Any oppressor will usher in the doom they deserve. Some people say this is called karma, and I call it that. For justice." (To be continued..)
