The commotion on the street gradually expanded, someone fired a gun, and the sound of gunfire spread into the den.
There was movement downstairs soon. Someone came back and kept shouting in the hall. They must have discovered the thug who was strangled to death by Mike.
Mike suddenly paused. Seeing that the opponent was distracted, he seized the opportunity and jumped up to grab Mike's pistol.
Snap!
Mike reacted with lightning speed and decisively shot Sai in the head.
Brains and blood spurted out on his face. While Mike was shocked, the thugs outside had already heard the gunshots in the house. They rushed up one after another and blocked the road outside the office.
Mike didn't care about wiping away the blood, and immediately rushed out of the office, shooting wildly into the living room, and using the cover of various indoor furniture, he rushed to the window and prepared to jump from there.
However, when he stepped on the frame hole without a window, his calf was still hit by a bullet, causing him to lose his balance and fall directly from the second floor...
When he woke up, he had been caught by Sai's men.
His coat was taken off, and everything on his body, including the pistol, was taken away. Two strong men held him up, and a skinny gangster stood opposite him, beating him all over with a belt.
"Good evening! Mike Campino! You actually killed Cy!? Should I praise you for a job well done?!"
The guy whipped and kicked Mike, causing him to scream and there were bleeding wounds everywhere.
The thug who was searching Mike's coat pulled out a half-remembered object that looked like a long pole.
"What is this?"
Mike spit out two mouthfuls of blood and looked at the incense stick with swollen eyes. His unconscious mind suddenly recalled what Victor said to him before leaving - "If you have doubts, you should know where to pray..."<
/p>
Mr. Yi...
Mike took a deep breath. In the abyss of despair, he seemed to see a glimmer of light in the darkness.
He is not a religious person and has no feelings for Glow or Deirdre.
He has seen too much suffering of the people at the bottom, but he has never seen any god send blessings to alleviate people's suffering.
What are the five major churches...
Realm of Bright Light, Life Association, Sanctuary, Blood Rose, Hermes...
What hand of God...
Deirdre, the goddess of light, Ptolemy, the three initiates, Aron, the king of dreams, Visnu, the orderer, Sarnus, the god of agriculture...
What five main gods...
……
Enough... Mike felt that everything was enough. He finally understood why so many people were willing to hide in the dark and believe in the secret religion in an attempt to change the world. Because in the bleak and silent years, even evil will become the only thing for the suffering and weak.
The light!
With blood in his mouth, Mike showed a ferocious smile.
"This thing... is called incense, and it is specially burned for the dead..."
Dead person?
His words successfully amused the gang thugs, and mocking laughter rang out one after another.
In fact, Mike didn't know the correct use of incense. He just wanted to trick the other party into lighting it, but he unexpectedly succeeded in guessing it.
"Very good! Mr. Mike, I will burn it for you now, because you are going to die soon."
The skinny guy took out a match, lit the incense stick and inserted it into the mud in front of Mike. Then he called on his accomplices to escort Mike into the hiding place, tied him to a chair, and prepared to torture him slowly. This person looks like Sai's second-in-command. Now that Sai is dead, he can smoothly take the opponent's position, so he is in a good mood.
He banged the iron nail on the belt and hit Mike hard on the chest with it, causing him to scream in pain.
"You are the last Cambino. What do you think, Mr. Mike?"
The skinny guy put his face in front of Mike.
Mike recognized him and everyone around him. They were all members of the Cambino family in the past.
"Ah! It seems you have recognized me. It doesn't matter. We, like Sai, have served the Cambino family in the past, but Sai is fully capable of starting his own family, isn't he? Cigars will give us more money than you, that's all.
That’s all.”
Hum!
Mike sneered and sneered at such people who would betray their trust just for the sake of petty gains.
As expected, he received another severe beating.
But fortunately, it's just a skin injury so far, because the skinny guy hasn't done anything serious yet.
While the blood was blinding his eyes, Mike was a little distracted due to the pain of the wound. But suddenly, he seemed to sense something, and he picked up his energy and looked diagonally upward into nothingness.
There seemed to be a gaze that ignored time and space and was watching him.
Just when the skinny guy was about to pick up the mace on the table, there was a strange movement at the door.
At this time, about ten people in the hiding place gathered in the living room on the first floor. Someone discovered that a figure was standing inexplicably at the door.
"Who is it?!"
One of the thugs shouted in that direction, but he saw clearly that the person standing at the door was actually the one who was hanged by Mike in the first place!
"Fuck! Shit!"
As he cursed, everyone's attention was attracted. When they saw the guy clearly, they felt as if they had seen a ghost.
And the next moment, the thug who was supposed to be dead suddenly walked towards the crowd.
His hands and feet were stiff and his face was expressionless, like a zombie.
The skinny man put down his mace, drew his pistol, and went up to him with his accomplices for questioning.
"Bob?! What's wrong with you?"
He called out the name of the person in front of him, but the other person didn't respond and walked towards them with a cold expression.
When the two sides were less than five meters away, the man suddenly accelerated, rushed towards the thin man, and threw him to the ground.
"Fuck! Is that bitch crazy?!"
The two of them struggled for a moment, and then the skinny man's screams were heard, and everyone rushed around to push Bob away who was holding him down.
But in an instant, someone discovered that there was a piece of yellow paper with a strange blood pattern on Bob's back!
However, they could only see this for a moment, because at the next moment, Bob's whole body suddenly exploded!
The thugs surrounding them all suffered, and a wave of heat swept over everyone, setting them all on fire. The entire living room was full of struggling Pyrogens.
Because Mike was some distance away, he was knocked to the ground by the heat wave of the explosion. His pants caught fire, but he was quickly extinguished.
The skinny man was closest to Bob and had been blown out of his human form. A little further away there were two or three thugs with minor injuries. They got up and looked for guns everywhere, but one after another they felt something invisible scratching their bodies.
After a few blows, the remaining people's bodies were ignited with raging fire, and they fell to the ground screaming.
It all ended within three minutes, and Mike was the only living person left in the entire living room.
Seeing that the surroundings were surrounded by flames that would soon engulf the entire building, he struggled to crawl towards the nearest source of fire, endured severe pain and burned the rope, then climbed over the first-floor window and escaped.
Dragging his injured left leg, Mike fled the scene before the fire spread, breathing heavily.
All this happened was so weird that Mike never saw who did it. It seemed as if a mysterious force resurrected the thug he strangled to death, transformed into the flames of hell and burned everyone to death.
In addition to running away, his mind was filled with thoughts of a mysterious existence—Mr. Yi!
……
Outside the fire scene, the invisibility effect of the water spell gradually dissipated, and Victor emerged from the void.
He stared at Mike's back and saw the incense stick still burning on the ground.
After the two said goodbye last night, Victor did some calculations and learned that Mike was likely to cause trouble tonight, but the predictions did not clearly calculate where Mike would cause trouble.
Victor guessed that the other party would return to the dock area, so he wandered around here tonight and happened to sense that Mike lit the incense.
He briefly entered the secret residence and saw the other party's current situation through the spiritual tablets.
He had visited this place before when he was looking for a black market and recognized it as a prostitution street in the dock area.
It was not too late for him to come. Mike was beaten hard and both sides talked a lot, so they bought a lot of time.
Victor gave himself a water spell to make himself invisible, used an earth spell to resurrect the corpse lying at the entrance, and then attached a yellow talisman of fire spell drawn with blood to the back of the corpse, driving him to rush over and blow up most of the people.
.
Watching Mike limping and disappearing into the street, Victor silently followed him again to confirm his whereabouts...
