One hundred and eighty-six. The little girl selling flowers in the old sewers
A monster like an irregular mist floats past, revealing the main body embedded in the rock wall, an auction house made of giant worm corpses.
A strange thing that mimics a dead tree trunk stands at the entrance of the auction house, in front of a circle of cracked teeth in the mouth of a giant worm.
"Leave it to us, you don't have to do everything yourself."
Bishop Jon stood low and said respectfully, leading a few believers to approach the auction house.
After a brief negotiation, Bishop Jon returned and confirmed that the auction of weird treasures was here, but to participate in the auction tomorrow night, an invitation letter was required, and the invitation letter had already been given.
All that was left for Lu Li was the rules of the old sewer: snatching invitations from other beings.
Or rob the auction house.
Obviously, the identity of the Exorcist doesn't work here.
Even if it is useful, it will have negative effects.
Although I expected that the commission from the God of the Deep would not be easy to come by, the invitation letter as a prelude to the auction seemed like a big trouble looming in front of me...
"Hello, hello~"
The accent of some strange language remained, and the energetic shouts suddenly sounded.
Three nuns in strange costumes and strange silhouettes were standing not far away. The petite nuns, like girls, waved in this direction, lifted up their skirts and trotted over.
The tense Shadow Church believers formed a wall of flesh between Lu Li and the young nun. The young nun brushed down her hood, revealing three dark holes on her face.
As the bottom hole opens and closes, the energetic voice continues to sound: "Don't be nervous~ Do you remember that girl in the alley? We saved her~"
This indeed reminded Lu Li of the last episode at the Midnight City Terminal and the three nuns he passed by.
"Are you a human? Why are you with them? Are you an enemy?"
Her companions were approaching. One was tall and thin, and the other was as huge as a carriage.
"He is my companion."
Lu Li sensed excitement from the last words of the nuns' tone. They seemed to want to "rescue" him.
"Do you know it?" The eldest sister whispered with her head on her shoulder. "It seems to like you."
"Oh~"
The young nun shook her head, and the emotions in Lu Li's perception gradually dissipated: "What are you doing on the seventh floor?"
"Participating in the auction of weird and rare treasures, but there is no invitation letter." Lu Li asked the believers to move away. The eldest sister felt the same as him, and the three nuns did not mean any harm.
The young nun ran back to the giant nun, rummaged through her uniform with her head and arms, and quickly came back with a roll of parchment and handed it to Lu Li.
"Is this it?"
Ophelia wanted to take it for Lu Li, but Lu Li picked up the parchment himself.
【Weird and Curious Treasures Auction】
The side of the rolled parchment was written in human language.
After receiving Lu Li's confirmation, the nun jumped back to her companion: "I'll give it to you~"
"We are leaving. Come and see her when you have time~ She is very grateful for your mercy. You can find us in the quiet tomb forest~ Goodbye, little dog~"
The girl nun waved to Pusius one last time, and he disappeared into the spiral hall, flattered and under the gaze of everyone.
"Don't give invitations to anyone, go directly to the auction."
The girl's lively shouts disappeared, and Lu Li's black eyes fell on the parchment again. Slowly unfolding, the auction house pattern with carved textures was printed on the faded parchment, and the smell of sulfur after processing could be vaguely smelled.
This is indeed an invitation to an auction of weird and curiosities.
It's just that the appearance of the young nun was full of coincidences, as if she had made a special trip to present an invitation to Lu Li.
As to whether it was the help of the God of the Deep Sea, the young nun's plan behind it, or a pure coincidence, Lu Li didn't know.
Bringing the invitation letter to the auction house, the dead tree-like mimic monster confirmed its authenticity.
"Leave it to...us."
A harsh noise like sawing wood came from their mouths. Lu Li paused slightly, but instead put away the parchment.
"The auction is tomorrow night, right?"
"Yes……"
Before they said anything, Lu Li and the others left the door of the auction house.
The deadwood weirdos were about to move, but in the end they did nothing and watched them leave.
Going up the steps of the spiral hall that looks like an ancient ruin, Ophelia and Psius's reminders rang in my ears.
They advised Lu Li to be wary of strange attack invitations tonight. It was obvious that the strange people disguised as auction house employees knew what they might do. Even if they weren't, they should also be wary of other strange people approaching.
The inhabitants of the old sewers are not shy about their cruelty to the unwary.
After returning to the hotel, the Shadow Church believers were responsible for this matter, but it was not enough.
Frankly speaking, the Church of Shadows is not powerful enough. Bishop Jon once revealed this to Lu Li: without the response of the girl's shadow, they will not be able to live up to the power of feedback no matter how pious they are. This is why the Church of Shadows can only be a secret sect, and
Reasons why it cannot be scaled up.
All they have are the abilities of the weird believers themselves and the power they bring, such as simple magic circles.
If the attackers take shape, they could suffer heavy damage.
"Are there any law enforcers here?" Lu Li asked the spider guide.
"You can call me Beauty Spider." The beautiful woman with a ferocious body showed a flattering smile: "Of course, only order can...can..."
"So many weird things gathered together." Pusius said for the beauty spider who couldn't find an adjective.
"Find the law enforcers from Midnight City's main station." Lu Li said, after a slight pause he added: "If the law enforcers are not the whole group, find one who is equal in strength to us."
As the clock approaches evening, the Beauty Spider brings back a law enforcer who is as withered as a shrub, as weak as grass, and as small as moss.
It's just that this law enforcer, who is only slightly older than Psius, is not weak, at least not at the Midnight City Headquarters. They have the power given by the Dark Twins, the masters of the old sewers, and here, the law enforcers have nothing to fear.
The Beauty Spider has found the right candidate. Just like the human gangs of the olden days who regarded calling the police as a shame, in the old sewers, the unspoken rules still continue, which leaves most law enforcement officers with no chance to uphold the rules.
The law enforcer in front of me is one of them, so when the beauty spider appears, it follows it almost without dignity.
Tell the law enforcers that there may be attackers from the deep tonight, and it vows to ensure the safety of everyone.
Lu Li broke the unspoken rules, no one here would do that.
He might attract more than just contempt, but Lu Li wouldn't stay here too long anyway.
Lu Li checked into the second floor of the hotel, and the hotel was already surrounded by Shadow Church believers. They only had to do one thing to warn the attackers when they discovered them.
The ending was not unexpected. The attacker who crawled out from the depths of the old sewer was crushed together like a lump of mud by the seemingly weak law enforcers.
When the law enforcers took them away from the hotel, the mingled attacker spheres roared at the quiet black eyes in front of the second-floor window of the hotel.
"You! broke! the rules!"
Lu Li didn't respond and stared down from a high position.
"You are the ones breaking the rules."
The law enforcer tore off a limb from the attacker's sphere, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, retorted vaguely, shook the limb and said goodbye to Lu Li.
In addition to rewards, there may also be promotions waiting for it.
And now, Lu Li is going to participate in the auction of weird and rare treasures.
