Chapter 023 God in the Sewer
As soon as I walked into the dark sewer, an indescribable stench hit my nostrils. The dirty water up to my ankles reflected a layer of green and purple oil on the surface of the water under the light from the entrance.
Chen Ke stepped into the dirty water, causing splashes and ripples in the calm water. The smelly water poured into Chen Ke's shoes and socks, and his feet suddenly felt bitingly cold.
The sewage system in Xiacheng District of Opportunity City is part of Shangcheng District. There are no special sewage cleaning facilities in Xiacheng District. All the dirty water in the city will flow here after treatment, and finally pour into the Xiaoyao River from the Xiacheng District port.
The water contained the essence of so many dirty things, which made Chen Ke's toes greasy and slippery. He cursed in a low voice and deliberately avoided the garbage floating on the water, while raising the
Glock 17, walking forward one foot deeper and one foot shallower into the depths of the sewer.
After Chen Ke walked along the sewer for almost ten minutes, he discovered that the water surface of a certain fork in the road gave off an unnatural green dark light, as if there were unknown microorganisms under the water.
This waterway matches the path in the female diner's memory. She must have followed the green light waterway like a road sign to find the monster with tentacles.
Chen Ke stared at the waterway with green light for a while. There was no information about the alienated substances popping up in his field of vision. It seemed that this green light came from the microbiome.
In a rotten and humid environment, microorganisms will breed in large numbers, most of which are detritivorous bacteria or small insects. These glowing scavengers gather in large numbers in an area, which means that there is a lot of rotten and cankerous things there.
Chen Ke walked cautiously along the green light waterway. The smell of decay was still floating in the air, but unlike the previous feces smell, the smell in this fork in the road was closer to the smell of corpses.
The water surface slowly rose and was already below his knees. Chen Ke felt that he had kicked something. He slowly moved around and saw a few bubbles popping out of the green-lit water, and suddenly a man floated up.
half of the face.
Chen Ke took a few steps back. He was not afraid, but felt nauseous. A cool breeze blew from the exit of the passage in the distance, and the light became more intense.
"This is it." He said secretly. Chen Ke walked to the entrance of the passage and found that he had arrived at a central sewer collection room.
This is a circular square of five to six hundred square meters, with eight passages converging here. The green-lit water is like a lake, lighting up the entire space, and there are many human limbs floating on the water. The green
The light sinks into the darkness from bottom to top, like an abyss.
At the entrance of one of the passages, totems composed of various garbage and residual limbs were placed on both sides, which looked absurd and terrifying. Chen Ke avoided the human limbs on the water and came to the dark entrance of the passage.
It was very quiet, there was no sound. Chen Ke looked curiously into the dark passage, but it was too dark to see anything.
"Kneel down."
Suddenly, a burst of neither male nor female voices came out from the dark passage, hit the wall of the water collection room and spiraled up into the darkness.
Chen Ke stared at the dark passage, hesitating whether to go in and take a look.
"Kneel down." The voice sounded again, and Chen Ke could hear the impatience and surprise in it.
"Kneel down, mother." Chen Ke cursed at the darkness.
"Anyone who is not my slave will eat it," said the voice.
The surroundings became quiet, but Chen Ke knew that the thing must be angry, and there must be some danger brewing in the passage. He slowly backed away, holding the Glock in his right hand, aiming at the dark passage, wary of something rushing out.
"Gurgulu..."
There was an unsettling sound coming from the darkness, as if a man with half a mouth full of saliva was clearing his throat.
"+1 hour"
"+1 hour"
"The life span has reached the upper limit!"
"+1 hour"
"The life span has reached the upper limit!"
coming!
When information kept beating in the upper right corner of Chen Ke's vision, a gnarled purple tentacle half a meter thick suddenly stretched out from the black channel.
Just when the tentacles were about to roll up Chen Ke, Chen Ke's left arm suddenly flashed with white light, and there was a round shield!
The tentacles slammed into the shield, and the huge impact threw Chen Ke into the air. The shield also flew out of his left arm. After drawing an arc in the air, it turned into a small diamond and fell into the water with a plop.
.
"Snapped!"
Chen Ke fell into the water, dirty water poured down his collar and into his neck, leaving a sour taste in his mouth.
"Bah! Damn!" Chen Ke got up from the sewage, groped in the water for a while, and picked up the Glock 17. There was still a gray finger hanging in the trigger guard.
He looked around and saw that the shield was gone.
"I knew it wouldn't be that simple..." Chen Ke said to himself. Using a shield requires a strong physique, strong arms, and professional training, otherwise he will be like Chen Ke.
His shield fell into hundreds of square meters of dirty water and had been reduced to a small diamond, making it difficult to find it.
Although this was a hasty and unsuccessful defense, the spikes on the shield still played some role. Purple blood flowed out from the tip of the tentacle, and if it was blood, it slowly rolled back into the darkness.
"You are very surprised, human being," the voice said.
"Speak nicely." Chen Ke replied after being fed up with this monster's formal way of speaking.
There was another grunting sound in the darkness, and Chen Kejing felt himself bending down slightly.
Waves of water ripples rippled out from the passage. A fat flipper stepped out of the darkness first, then another. Then Chen Ke saw a huge belly, and finally, a toad head emerged from the darkness.
…
This huge toad is at least as tall as four adults. It is purple-grey all over, its skin is covered with tumors, dirty water, microorganisms and garbage are all over its body. Its two huge eyes are narrowed into a line, and its cheeks are constantly moving.
Swell and contract, swell and contract...
"I have just recently started practicing the speaking style of the Feihuang Ancients. I want to improve my skills in front of my slaves." The big toad said, his tone sounding quite proud.
"You can still learn the ancient sayings of Feihuang down here? How did you learn it? Did you read a book?" Chen Ke asked in surprise.
"No, no... you can learn by eating people... You also look like a Scarlet Phoenix. Maybe if I eat you, I will be more powerful..." The big toad seemed to be smiling but not smiling. It opened its mouth slightly, and it was long and thick.
The tongue shot towards Chen Ke like a bullet.
here we go again!
It turns out that the tentacles are the tongues of toads. Chen Ke always thought that the monster's body was something like a diving squid...
Chen Ke suddenly dodged and fell into the dirty water, pouring a large mouthful of water into his throat. But how could a human's reaction be compared to that of a toad's tongue? His ankles were still entangled, and he was hung in the air as he quickly moved toward the toad.
flew out of his mouth.
Chen Ke raised his gun and fired, and the 9 mm flame bullets poured out and went into the toad's mouth. Because he was wearing a silencer, the gunshot was not loud.
Perhaps feeling threatened, the toad that wanted to eat Chen Ke flicked its tongue and threw him into the water far away. However, the bullet had already penetrated its flesh.
Chen Ke climbed up from the dirty water and felt that his body was about to fall apart. He put his left hand on the ground and felt a little helpless. He picked it up and saw that it was a diamond.
He looked up at the big toad, and found that the toad was unharmed and was looking at him curiously with wide eyes.
"This bullet doesn't smell right. You are not a genuine investigator. Are you here to do private work?" said the toad.
As he spoke, the toad spat out the bullet.
"You are really well-informed." Chen Ke took out the giant python and fired six shots at the toad. The large-caliber flame magnum bullets roared towards the toad.
Before the toad heard the gunshot, it saw the revolver in Chen Ke's hand. The moment the bullet flew out, it closed its mouth tightly and its belly suddenly swelled.
When the flaming magnum bullet hit the toad's belly, something unexpected happened to Chen Ke. The flaming bullet was completely absorbed by the toad's belly, leaving nothing behind.
The toad spit out a few more bullets, and its tongue stuck out from the seam of its mouth and licked it, as if it had just tasted delicious food.
"It's a pity. Don't think that you can defeat me with a gun and a shield that can fire. I have defeated many investigators. Although you are different from them, your performance is great." Toad said with approval.
"Do you toads all like to talk dirty?" Chen Ke turned away the Colt Python's cartridge, took out six Magnum bullets from his bag, and loaded them one by one.
"I know this is not in line with the common sense of you humans. How can a toad not be afraid of fire? How can a toad talk? Croak, croak, croak... But you have to know that when you face a god, all the things that are not in line with common sense will be ignored.
It will become part of common sense." Toad said while shaking his head, and did not stop Chen Ke from loading bullets, after all, that thing could not threaten it.
"I know this is not in line with the common sense of you toads. How can humans not be afraid of monsters? How can humans resist God? Blah blah blah blah... But you have to know that in my eyes you are just a bigger one... who can say
The talking toad, all the toads, can be fucking killed." Chen Ke said while flipping the hammer.
"Are you imitating my speech?" Toad was a little angry.
"Do you dare to roll your tongue around me again?" Chen Ke challenged.
