Chapter 117 Betrayal and the Box of Dead Souls
In an empty warehouse in the factory area.
A group of sea hunters finally got a break after a long journey at sea. As for the dilapidated warehouse without even a bed, it is not a problem for them who are used to sleeping in the wind.
“Tonight, everyone will work hard. Divide them into two groups of people who will be on duty at the highest alert level, one in the first half of the night and the other in the second half of the night. After the transaction is completed tomorrow, in addition to the portion that everyone deserves, I invite Everyone went to the ‘Pink House’ for three consecutive days, and I treated you!”
“Long live the boss!”
“Awesome”
“No problem. , boss, please leave it to us.”
Stanley boosted the morale of his subordinates, and in order to ensure that the last night before the transaction would go smoothly, he decided to personally lead the team to watch the whole night.
A night’s sleep is nothing to a sturdy official Knight.
After the bonfire was raised and the dinner was settled hastily with the provided dry food, dozens of people formed a large circle. A group of people hurry up and lay down on the ground to rest, and a group of people stares at the box without doing anything, ready to relay at any time.
Ta Ta Ta
Even if there is one person holding the box and the two of them keep circling the warehouse, the tired sea hunters will not be affected at all. Go to sleep quickly.
“Whoo-zzZZ”
Snoring was already heard in the kung fu warehouse after a while.
Tonight’s handover went very smoothly. Since arriving at the warehouse at about 9 o’clock in the evening, three handovers have been successfully completed, and no unexpected situation has occurred.
The time has gradually come to one o’clock in the morning, when normal people are most sleepy.
Stanley, who has completed his extraordinary transformation, is full of energy, even if he does not sleep for several days in a row, he is undoubtedly the most awake one here.
Stanley once again breathed a sigh of relief as he watched his companions keep moving to complete the shift. When he got up, he just habitually re-looked at his night companion, but he soon realized that something was wrong.
“Where did Todd go?!”
Stanley’s face changed slightly, his long adventure had given him extraordinary intuition and vigilance. After discovering that key personnel Todd was not in the warehouse, he was instantly alert.
It was Todd, who stayed ashore alone, who arranged for the temporary shelter and future buyers. Although Todd, who bears the heavy responsibility, has always been his confidant, but if something goes wrong with him, the consequences will be the most serious!
He immediately whispered to the men around him: “Go, call everyone up, be careful, don’t make any noise.”
“wu”
After a long-term common exploration career, the sea hunters have already had enough tacit understanding, and they have all recovered their sobriety without making any noise. Except for the three people who are still in charge of holding the box, they all gathered around Stanley.
Stanley made a gesture, and the group quickly sorted out their weapons without asking any more questions.
muskets, bows and arrows, hand crossbows, lances, knives, swords, all kinds of weapons for sea hunters, everyone has their own characteristics. But they are all equally efficient, skilled and cooperative.
Then, under the command of Stanley, the three people who were still in circles moved quickly towards the warehouse side. As an experienced leader of the old sea hunters, Stanley had already reconnaissed the terrain here when he settled in.
There is a small door here, which can lead to the depths of the factory area, where there are many buildings extending in all directions. If there is an accident, it is very beneficial for the squad to escape.
It has to be said that as a qualified leader, Stanley’s response is not slow, but it is far from enough for a betrayer who knows him very well!
Before they could move to the door, the doors on both sides of the warehouse were suddenly pushed open at the same time.
Bang——
In the gloomy night, the door was already crowded with noble private soldiers wearing black armor.
They were half-squatting on the ground, holding sophisticated heavy hand crossbows. Even in the dark of the moonless night, the triangular arrow clusters of the crossbow bolts flashed with cold light.
Not a word of willingness to talk.
“Shoot!”
“sou!””sou!””sou!”
The continuous burst of crossbow arrows is both accurate and formidable Power is not comparable to ordinary muskets, and in the hands of these well-trained semi-professional private troops, it is turned into an extraordinary killing weapon!
“No—!”
“Ah—!”
“Stop—!”
The sea hunters’ Shouting and screaming couldn’t change their fate at all.
The steel arrow cluster easily penetrates the human body, and in the sporadic and weak counterattack of the sea hunter, a gorgeous flower of death is created.
Because of the betrayal of his companions, the leader Stanley, who had long been informed of his specific strength, not only did not escape alive because of the extraordinary Knight’s powerful ability, but was focused on the fire, and he was shot just two steps away. hedgehog.
Lower Knights are far from being able to overwhelm secular armies.
“Uh Todd you”
Boom-
slumped to the ground.
Although he was never a good person, this sea hunter leader never thought that he would die so uselessly and ugly
After three rounds of salvo, the black armored private soldiers acted Skillfully shooting the survivors who were still moving one by one, in just one minute, there was no one living person who could stand in the open space where the Sea Hunter was located.
If these experienced sea hunters are so worthless in the mountains or islands or even cities with complex terrain, they will inevitably cause huge casualties to these noble private soldiers.
Unfortunately, the battle is not if.
The officer leading the noble private soldier grinned at the victory in front of him, waved his hand, and the soldiers in armor had already filed in.
Hiss——
For some reason, after the soldiers actually entered this warehouse, they felt a gloomy aura around them. However, the mission goal was already in sight, so they all ignored this little discomfort.
“Find it for me!”
The corpses of sea hunters were removed and thrown aside, even in the face of blood-stained faces Nothing could resist the fanaticism of the private soldiers.
The mission this time is extremely simple, kill these garbage-like sea hyenas and bring them back to the box. Nothing could be more perfect than the great wealth and status that their masters would bestow upon the unimaginable of the past.
“My lord, I didn’t find the box.”
“Neither here.”
However, when all the bodies were removed, the private soldiers in charge of searching But it brought him bad news.
“What? What’s going on? Can the box escape by itself?!” The leader of the private army turned his head sharply, looking towards the short-haired young man who had been shrinking his head behind him. It was Todd who had disappeared before. .
“Dear Mr. Todd, I need an explanation!”
The elite private soldiers all around gave him a lot of pressure, Todd swallowed and raised his head. He raised his hands and said innocently with a bitter face: “I really don’t know, I was here just before I left.”
Having killed all his comrades for a promise, Todd didn’t dare to play any more tricks. To be honest, he hoped to retrieve the box more smoothly than the private army officer.
“Huh, what’s the sound?”
tick-tick
At this moment, a clear dripping sound suddenly sounded in the empty warehouse, and it was getting louder and louder. The sound is getting closer and closer
“Where did the sound of water come from!?”
“I don’t know.”
I am still searching for the privacy of the box. The soldiers stopped one after another and looked around to find the source of the sound.
Suddenly Todd felt a little hot on the back of his neck. Looking up, a drop of red liquid dripped from the gap in the ceiling, tick tock, and landed on his face.
A strong bloody smell filled the nose and mouth instantly.
“Ah-!!!”
The mournful scream crossed the silent night sky and stopped abruptly
I don’t know when.
The box wrapped in black cloth has been opened, revealing a black wooden box carved with various strange theatrical characters.
It was placed in the middle of the sea hunter squad that had been wiped out, and it didn’t move at all, but miraculously, it was not found by the private soldiers who were looking for it.
In the sound of the clockwork being twisted, the box once again issued the terrifying aria:
“Oh——! Thank you for the sacrifices you offered me, I like it very much!
Newynport, how familiar and wonderful atmosphere, I’m back again, oh he he he gā gā gā ”
It’s like I’m stuck, it’s already very scary His voice slowly turned into a strange smile like an old owl, echoing in the empty warehouse, making people shudder.
It’s just that there’s no longer a living person who can respond!
“Get up and take me out of here. I can already feel the breath of that old bastard, he’s still in the city!”
hearing this.
“Stanley”, who had been dead for a long time and had lost most of the blood in his body, got up from the ground, pulled out the crossbow bolt stuck in his body and threw it on the ground.
He picked up the box on the ground without saying a word, staggered out of the warehouse with some difficulty keeping his balance at first, and then quickly adapted to it, walking faster and faster until he walked fast and quickly disappeared into the distance. stand in great numbers of buildings.
Leaving only a lingering voice: “Oh hoho, the game has just begun.”
The warehouse has just returned to silence.
A slight brilliance appeared in the air.
Squeaky——
A magnificent gate made of brass, composed of various complicated gears and machinery, appears out of thin air, and is heard by the sound of ka ka’s gears turning. Push away slowly.
An old man in a robe with pure white hair and beard walked out from behind the door, watching the blood-soaked tragic scene in the warehouse, with such an expression on his face as he expected:
“Come late. One step?
Dead Soul Box is indeed a toy of the gods!”
Turning around and stepping back through the brass door.
“Maybe, it’s not a bad thing,” the sound seemed to dissipate in the wind.
