The Last King of Darkness

isn't it?

Rhode's expression was a little stiff.

Are you reliable?

Won't **** me off?

But Lauren just laughed a few times and got out of the car, pulling a strange weapon from her bosom.

It has a long barrel, heavy stock, and looks like a classic gun, but has no trigger and no powder holes in sight.

"It's called the Raven. It's a limited-edition Raven-style spear produced by the Seamans factory in 1301. It's a 12mm large-caliber, gas-operated, rotary auto-lock, weighs 7.1 kiloangstroms, uses real silver bullets, and has an effective range of 110 yards. The maximum psionic power is 60 ticks, and the bullet exit level is 31."

He shoved the gun into Rhodes' hands.

"My favorite when I was a teenager, I'm giving it to you now. It's powerful, it's best to use it to protect yourself when you're weak, and there are seven bullets in the gun, you can reload it yourself after use. "

Rhode picked up this "raven-style spear". The greatest feeling it gave him was harmony and unity. From the muzzle to the tail, it was a complete hook. The gun was engraved with a lot of complicated patterns, but it did not damage it at all. of flow.

It's just that, without the trigger, how can I shoot?

Rhode looked at Lauren with questioning eyes.

Lauren smiled and said, "Hold the **** of the gun, concentrate the spiritual energy in the palm of your hand, pour it into the gun, and when the spiritual pressure column overflows, it will open..."

boom!

Loud gunshots rang through the quiet neighborhood.

A small water tower standing in the middle of the street was hit, and the high-speed real silver bullet penetrated one side of the water tower, released energy on the other side, and blew a large hole behind the water tower.

The clear water was rushing down, and the muddy neighborhood was even more muddy.

There was no one on the block, and in the shabby houses around, many figures appeared by the window, as if looking for the source of the abnormal noise on the block.

Lauren laughed and said: "Inform the First District Office of the Outer City, the maintenance costs and the losses will be charged to your account, don't expect me to pay, I just taught you how to use it, and didn't tell you to shoot. "

Rhode's hand was numb from the huge recoil of the spirit spear, and he felt numb when he heard this.

"It's still a compensation... But I just wasn't careful... Aren't we investigating a case? Can't this be considered an official loss?"

Lauren's helpless smile widened: "If I write it as a reimbursement item, Lily will kill me. This can't be considered a loss on official business, it's just an accident caused by personal negligence and cannot be reimbursed."

Rhodes was not very happy, and he suffered a huge blow before things started. He only had forty-two silver cables in his pocket, and he planned to save up to buy some items.

"Don't worry too much, it's just a small thing."

Lauren snapped her fingers, and the horseless car automatically reversed along the route it had come from.

"The important thing is the investigation. Your life and death are all in our investigation."

Lauren stepped forward.

Rhodes froze in his heart and quickly followed in his footsteps.

The streets were full of mud, and the two men's shoes and trousers were soon covered with bits and pieces of mud.

This is completely different from the college. The lights in the college are continuous, and the rows of street lamps can't be seen at a glance. Every building is covered with all kinds of lights, as well as bright murals, hanging ornaments, stone statues, and even Plants such as trees, grasses, vines, etc.

Bright light illuminates every corner of it, like a neon city that never sleeps with classical elegance and artistic flavor.

If you don't look up, its view is perfect.

But here, everything is different.

The dark and dense fog was pressing on the top of the head, and you could see without looking up. The dirty streets were full of dilapidated houses, without any layout, crowded together.

In front of each house there is a lamp, either hanging on the door or tucked into the window grille, the lamp is old and dimly lit, in stark contrast to the delicate, elegant brass and crystal lamps of the Academy .

The shadows are everywhere here, the filth is everywhere, and the stench mixed with fermented acid reaches the nose, making people sick.

This place is not only incomparable to the academy, but also to the environment outside the Uther Medical Center, it is like hell.

Rhode held his breath, feeling as if something was broken in his heart, as if he had seen the real side of this world.

And Lauren looked calm, turning a blind eye to everything around her, as if she had long been accustomed to it.

After a while, Rhode couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lauren, is this a slum?"

Lauren replied flatly: "No, this is Trorian King City, Lower City, Outer City, District 1, Fire Hammer Street."

There seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in his words, and it was difficult for people without certain experience to find it, but Rhodes had a better understanding of the world than everyone else and was keenly aware of it.

He was dissatisfied with a certain opinion within the royal city.

This made him feel very bad, and he couldn't help but ask: "In such a crisis, don't we unite closely around the holy fire, don't we take the king as the core, and work together to protect our homeland?"

Lauren sneered: "If it's really like what we have been preaching all the year round, why are there doomsday sects whose goal is to extinguish the holy fire and destroy human beings? Don't they know that without the protection of fire, once it is eroded by the black mist, it will become no A sane monster?"

He suddenly turned his head and glanced at Rhodes with slightly complicated gray eyes, and his tone returned to indifference.

"I really underestimate you, Rhodes, where did you learn your tone?"

Without waiting for his answer, he continued.

"The king city is divided into the upper city and the lower city, and the lower city is divided into the inner city and the outer city. The torch is in the upper city, and the first district of the outer city is the farthest away from it. At the very edge of the king city, the power of the torch reaches There's only a little left here, we can't light it up like the inner city, we don't have as much excess light, and we can't light up as many spiritual lamps."

It's definitely a resource issue.

Rhode's heart was a little sad, is it a poor disease that can't be cured?

"What are Yu Guang and Ling Deng?" He changed the question.

Lauren explained slowly: "The peripheral light is the light from the guardian fire, which can disperse the dark fog in a small area. The spirit lamp is a specially made lantern that can cast light on it to make In the completed space, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, of course, cannot be too far away."

"It seems that your memory loss is very serious. This is the most commonly used item. Every house will hang a magic lamp, especially in the outer city."

Rhode suddenly understood how a room with no lights but a shimmering light came from.

"Will the spirit lamp with the peripheral light stay on forever?" he asked curiously.

"Need phlogiston."

"What is phlogiston?"

"The raw material that is added to the fire to maintain the burning. The higher the intensity of the guardian fire, the higher the level of phlogiston required, and only the lowest level of phlogiston in the afterglow can last forever. — They can maintain a month of shimmer for a small amount of money.”

"But..." The block is very long and it is getting darker and darker. Rhode has already discovered that the lights in some rooms have been turned off, and the room is dark. "Some lights are off."

Lauren suddenly picked up the pace, and Rhode had to trot to keep up.

But his tone remained calm.

"Some are abandoned houses, some... have been killed."

Rhodes asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to take it back?"

Lauren smiled, his eyes always fixed on the street: "No need."

Rhode hesitated for a moment, and he saw a dark figure swaying obviously in an abandoned wooden house.

"But, there seems to be a ghost inside..."

A loud bang.

Something exploded in front of him, and black debris splattered in all directions, but nothing came close to Rhodes.

Lauren stared at the figure on an abandoned warehouse, and slowly raised the iron staff in front of Rhodes, his tone was still flat and soothing.

"Ghost, how can anyone be scary."
