Gate of Apocalypse

Chapter 187 [Leads]

“Are you all right? ”

Phoenix folded a fluorescent stick and walked up in her hand.

Chen Xiaolian narrowed his eyes and looked at the strange revolver in Phoenix's hand.

“Huh, too amateur, not even a full copy. Is the Meteor Squad already in this position? Attacking spirits with ordinary weapons. ”

A few sarcastic words came from the side, talking to the guy named Dagger under Phoenix, his eyes were clear and dazed.

“Can I see your weapon?” Chen Xiaoliang's eyebrows twisted and then loosened up and asked frankly.

The phoenix looked as usual and smiled. The generous handed over his gun: “Just a modified ordinary pistol, converted into a large caliber to facilitate the use of specially made bullets. ”

Chen Xiaoliang took the gun. The guy called the dagger seemed to have something else to say, but the phoenix glanced at him and the dagger closed its mouth.

Tires and spare tires also came back, still dragging Dr. Mu, who was already scared to death.

There is really nothing special about pistols, obviously ordinary firearms have been modified, and the wheels and barrels are special, obviously to accommodate the size of large caliber bullets.

Chen Xiaocai quit a bullet and looked at it. The middle part of the bullet was actually faintly silver.

“is a special silver bullet.” Phoenix slowly said: “It has a granular effect on evil dark creatures and a killing effect on spirits. This bullet is made with silver components and also with holy water during refining. ”

“Holy water?” Chen Xiaolian smiled.

“Exactly, the kind that can be found in many ordinary churches.” Phoenix shrugs her shoulders: “Although this weapon is available in the exchange system, it is unnecessary to waste points on this self-made piece of equipment. ”

“Nice.” Chen Xiaoliang nodded.

“This self-modified weapon, a little less lethal to dark creatures than the system sells, but it's enough.” Phoenix glanced at Chen Xiaocai: “You probably haven't... had experience in dealing with dark creatures, have you? ”

“You could say that.” Chen Xiaocai did not hide it. Instead of beating up the fat guy with the swollen face, let's be honest with you, and your own performance just now explains everything.

“Dealing with dark creatures, mainly those of Western legend, generally the weapons used are also those of Western legend, holy water, crucifixes, silver. ”

Chen Xiaolian looked at the girl in front of him and suddenly smiled: “Garlic counts? I remember Western legend that it's best to deal with vampires with garlic. ”

Phoenix shuddered with a smile: "I don't know, I've never used garlic, but... maybe it works. Next time you can try, but I hate the smell of that stuff. ”

A group of people quickly left the subway station and came outside. Instead of staying here, you chose to leave immediately - a mess in the subway station, God knows if it would attract the police.

Time is running out, Chen Xiaoliang doesn't want to waste his time with the police.

Dr. Mu seems to have split a lot - if he had some doubts about Chen Xiaocai earlier, some of his previous cooperation may have been due to the numerous and hidden dangers of subordinating to each other.

Well, since I saw the ghost, Dr. Moore has believed it completely! Even if he's a doctor, a determined atheist. But on the subway platform, I saw a lamp explode, I saw a ghost appear, and I could penetrate the human body... The iron-like facts were in front of me, and I couldn't help but believe him.

On the streets of the East Side, the evening is still quiet, maybe it is already here, maybe because of the system, Chen Xiaoliang did not intend to pursue such problems.

Everyone came to the streets and left quickly, threatening to create some clashes.

The cafe squad, mainly the guy named Dagger, asked for Dr. Moore to get in their car. Chen Xiaoliang's side naturally refused - this is the system clue!

The guy with the dagger was obviously mean and grinned without mercy: "The Grievance Spirit was killed by our captain! What qualification do you have to leave a lead? ”

Chen Xiaocai did not speak, just looked at each other coldly, spare tires and rubbed his hands, "If you want to rob someone, you can try it. ”

At this time, the phoenix spoke.

“Okay, dagger, don't argue.” Phoenix walked up to Chen Xiaocai and glanced at him: “This gentleman will be in your car. But our cars will always follow you, and we'll find a place to talk, and then we'll sit down and talk about how we can work together on the mission, okay? ”

Looking at each other's sincere eyes, Chen Xiaoliang sighed: “Okay... thank you just now. ”

Phoenix smiled: “Of course, I have one condition, and my principle is that since we work together, we have to do something to build trust. ”

“Hmm?”

"Your team, pick one and get in our car," said the phoenix. ”

Chen Xiaoliang immediately stared at the phoenix: “Hostage? ”

Phoenix smiled: "In exchange, I'm in your car, alone. ”

The proposal seemed fair and sincere, leaving Chen Xiaoliang with little reason to reject it for a while.

Tire looked at his brother and looked at Chen Xiaolei: “Captain, I'll go. ”

Chen Xiaolei nodded slightly, “Okay. ”

The spare tire is a jerk, and the tire is steady and discreet, and he is reassured to go to Chen Xiaolian.

“So what are we waiting for? Get in the car and go.” Phoenix glanced at his team: “I got in their car... dagger, monster! And the Titan brothers... be nice to our guests, be polite. ”

The dagger grinned and turned around and sat in the driving position. The monster riding a monkey around his neck laughed like a stiff smile. He opened the door of the trunk and made a gesture on the tire, which seemed friendly.

Even if he had never driven a right-hand car, Chen Xiaocai sat in the driver's seat with his scalp, but Phoenix took the initiative to sit in the co-driver's position, with Dr. Mu in the back row with his spare tire.

“There is a small park square nearby, it should be quiet at this time, no one will bother us, we can go over there and discuss where to go back.” Phoenix turned on her phone and looked at the GPS and reported a location.

Chen Xiaocao said he had no objection.

Two cars started successively, one front and one rear, leaving the White Church area.

Chen Xiaoliang's driving speed was not very fast, while the phoenix sitting next to him seemed very interested, and always weighed Chen Xiaoliang with strange eyes.

“Do you like to look at people like that?” Chen Xiaolian was a little uncomfortable.

“You seem young. I'm guessing you won't be over 18 years old at most? Hmm... you're not 16, are you?” Phoenix smiles.

Chen Xiaocao did not speak.

“Few young captains like you. He also became the leader of the Meteor Team, a well-known team. ”

“You're not that old either.” Chen Xiaoliang said faintly.

Phoenix didn't speak, but opened the window and let the cold night breeze blow in.

It seemed like after a while, the phoenix suddenly said, "My situation is not the same as yours. ”

Chen Xiaocai stunned for a moment - this woman's reflex arc is too long, isn't it?

“How is it different? ”

“Your team looks good with you.” Phoenix looked back and sat in the back row, smiling at her tiger spare tire. “Can you relax, sir? I don't eat people. ”

The spare tire mumbled something and didn't chew.

“Aren't your teammates and your relationship bad?” Chen Xiaolian frowned.

“It's okay.” Phoenix smiled slightly, pointing to the road ahead and suddenly said: “Turn left in front! ”

Chen Xiaoliang frowned: “That's not how you said the address would go...”

“Turn left! ”

Chen Xiaocai hesitated for a moment, then turned around as promised, and at Phoenix's request, parked the car next to a small Tesco supermarket on the side of the road, which was a 24-hour shop. Phoenix hurriedly said, "Wait for me for a few minutes” and jumped off the car and rushed into the supermarket.

A moment later, Chen Xiaoliang saw the girl jump out of the supermarket and jump across the street, but with a can of pomegranate juice in her hand, she swallowed it slowly with a straw.

“Are you... making me turn around to stop for buying this?” Chen Xiaolian stared wide-eyed.

With a smile in Phoenix's eyes... she smiled like a teenager: “Why not? ”

Looking at the dissatisfaction in Chen Xiaolian's eyes, Phoenix laughed: “Don't be so nervous. Even if you make a copy, you should enjoy life. Otherwise, what's the point? ”

She said, passing a can of garnet juice: "Here. ”

“… thank you, I don't like to drink these things.” Chen Xiaolian shook his head.

“I love to drink pomegranate juice.” The phoenix was carrying a drink and her face was filled with expressions of satisfaction.

“Enough of this? Enough of this nonsense. Let's go!” Chen Xiaolian frowned.

The car restarts and leaves.

"What do you know about Jack the Ripper case? ”

Chen Xiaocao did not speak.

In the second row of seats behind him, he remained silent as if Dr. Mu had not recovered from the blow and suddenly lost his voice: “What are you talking about? Jack the Ripper? ”

“Yeah, what's your problem?” Phoenix smiled.

“You mean... the serial killer in British history?” Dr. Mu asked.

“Unless you know there's a second Ripper Jack.” The phoenix shrugged her shoulders.

“You...” Dr. Mu exclaimed suddenly: "You don't think Jack the Ripper did this tonight? That was over a hundred years ago! How could the murderer have lived so far? ”

“There are many things that are impossible.” Phoenix still has that girl smile on her face: "I bet you haven't even seen a ghost before tonight, have you? ”

Dr. Mu was speechless.

“By the way, can I ask? I was just curious... did you guys know each other before?” Phoenix looked at Chen Xiaolian.

“Cognitive.” Chen Xiaocai knew he couldn't hide it, "he said slowly.“ I was surprised that he was a clue. He... is a doctor, an ordinary man. ”

Speaking of which, Chen Xiaoliang glanced back at Dr. Mo: “Can you ask me, Dr. Mo, how did you get to London? ”

“I...” Dr. Mu looked a little nervous: "I'm here for an event. ”

“Activity? Can you be specific?” Phoenix suddenly got serious and looked at Dr. Mu carefully.

Dr. Mu hesitated for a moment, but still said it.

“I am a physician and a postgraduate student of XX Medical School. Last year I had a medical paper published, quite frankly, jointly with my mentor. This essay text is nothing. But one of my classmates, who was studying at a medical school in England, accidentally showed my paper to some of my friends here, and they found some of the ideas in the paper interesting, so they wanted to invite us to do some interesting discussions.

However, such seminars are not official events or formal academic seminars. My mentor is not interested... so... "

“So I sent you?” Phoenix looked at Dr. Mo with a merciful look.

Chen Xiaoliang couldn't help but look at this guy.

From his words, it is easy to deduce something.

Without asking, most of the paper was written by Dr. Mu himself, except that... he and his mentor jointly published it... which is also a common subordinate rule in academia in the country.

If it were an official higher-level seminar, it would probably not be Dr. Moore's turn. The mentor must have gone into battle himself.

It's just this kind of private discussion without a private invitation, that is, you can't improve your compulsion, you can't improve your academic halo, so Dr. Mu's mentor is not interested, send Dr. Mu to recharge.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaolian suddenly moved into his heart: “When I said Jack the Ripper, you seem to be very responsive. Why? Just because it was an old case over a hundred years ago? ”

“Uh... no, I just thought it was a coincidence. ”

“Coincidence?” Chen Xiaolian suddenly couldn't help looking at the phoenix sitting next to him, both of whom found a little excitement in each other's eyes.

“Uh… the friend who invited me to graduate from the Royal College of Medicine, is now practicing medicine… he is himself a member of the Forensic Association here. Well, we've been talking online and chatting a lot about Jack the Ripper. Well, there's... there's some medical speculation about this case in my paper. He found it interesting, so he asked me to come and talk to him, and a few of his colleagues, and he really wanted to talk to me. The cost of my visit to the UK was borne by the other party. ”

Squeak!!

Chen Xiaoliang brakes!

The car immediately stopped in the middle of the road!

The first thought in his mind was: clues! This must be the clue given by the system!!
