Chapter 4 The Shadow of the Sewer(1/2)
"Come back" Charlie called to Xie Sheng from behind.
"What's going on?"
"The nearest sewer outlet is over there"
Charlie pointed in the opposite direction from Xie Sheng.
"Haha, you should lead the way."
Xie Sheng summoned the hunting dog he had placed in front of him back.
He placed the hound directly in front of Charlie.
Charlie looked at the hunting dog: "Your dog is not as powerful as most police dogs."
"It's my friend's, not mine"
Under the leadership of Charlie, the two quickly arrived at a street corner ahead.
Charlie pointed to the ground.
Near the roadside, there is a square iron grid tightly fastened to the ground.
"This is it. I wanted to investigate the case in the next few days."
Xie Sheng walked over and observed the iron grid carefully.
It was dark inside and nothing could be seen.
Xie Sheng just took a lantern from that grocery store.
He took out a match and lit the lantern.
Some light shines through those grates and into the sewer.
Didn't see anything suspicious.
But this is only limited to the opening part.
Go down four or five meters.
The vertical hole was changed to a straight hole, and the sight is no longer accessible.
Xie Sheng put the rifle on his back and handed the lantern to Charlie.
"Sewers are a favorite hiding place for little ones.
You watch it for me, be careful if something rushes out, I will get this thing out of the way."
Charlie held a lantern in one hand and a pistol in the other, aiming at the sewer exit.
"This kind of thing is very heavy, you can't do it alone..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Xie Sheng raising the iron grid with both hands.
Charlie's eyes widened.
He didn't know that Xie Sheng had so much strength.
Xie Sheng gently put the iron grid aside.
At the command, the black hunting dog entered the sewer first.
In fact, Xie Sheng still hopes that there are some goblins hiding below.
Just in time to make another magic ball.
For the safety of those in the room.
Xie Sheng left the magic ball to Leah.
I also want to get another one to hold.
The hunting dogs are down there and haven't found anything yet.
Xie Sheng went down the escalator embedded in the wall of the sewer cave.
The Queen City's sewer is built like an underground street.
There is a ditch in the middle, just like the river on the ground.
On both sides are passages for maintenance personnel, just like the sidewalks above.
Xie Sheng stood in front of the escalator with a lantern in one hand and a pistol in the other.
Soon Charlie also walked down the escalator.
Xie Sheng put the hunting dog behind the two of them.
Then follow the direction provided by Charlie and walk forward along the sewer.
For the first few minutes, nothing happened.
But when the two of them walked around and turned a corner.
Xie Sheng smelled a strange fishy smell.
He immediately raised his pistol and aimed forward.
Go slowly through the turns.
"hiss"
Accompanied by a sharp howl.
A black shadow more than one meter long rushed toward the two of them.
"Bang bang, bang bang"
Xie Sheng fired twice at the black figure.
Charlie's reaction was not slow either. He fired two shots almost at the same time.
Because Xie Sheng was holding a lantern, he carried a rifle on his back and a pistol in his hand.
Charlie can hold the rifle with both hands.
There was a "pop" and the sound of gunfire still echoed in the sewer.
From the middle channel of the sewer, there was the sound of a heavy object falling into the river.
"What was that just now?"
Charlie stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"I didn't see clearly either."
Xie Sheng raised the lantern and looked into the ditch.
At this time, the thing gradually floated up from the bottom of the water.
If it weren't for the fact that this thing had human-like limbs.
It could easily be seen as a crocodile.
"Is this a human or a fish?"
"It's just a fish monster."
"There won't be anything like this in the sewers, right?"
Following Charlie's words, the angry barking of hunting dogs came from behind them.
"Charlie, look here, I'll go behind and look at the hunting dogs."
Xie Sheng placed the lantern in his hand on the ground in front of Charlie.
Turn around and run back first.
"Don't you use a light?"
"I have matches!"
Talking room.
With a "chi" sound, Xie Sheng struck a match.
Charlie did not dare to be careless and raised his rifle to observe the movement in front.
Soon, several gunshots were fired from behind.
"Bang, bang, bang"
The barking of dogs also stopped.
Every so often, footsteps sound.
"It's okay, it's the same guy"
"By the way, there should be lights in these sewers, right?"
Charlie looked at Xie Sheng who came to him, reached out and patted his head.
"Hey, I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me. There seems to be lighting marks on the drawing.
