There was no other sound around, only the healthy snoring one after another. It was obvious that the other party fell into a wonderful dream, sleeping like a well-fed and well-fed animal in a pigsty.
Although it is still quite a distance to climb from the human pillar, it is still quite dangerous. How can this guy sleep so comfortably?
There is only one person here, and there is only a lit oil lamp here. It looks like the other person lives here. Not far away, there is an extinguished bonfire and an iron pot filled with cooked food.
Kino, there must be something wrong with this con man!
Victor took a deep breath. He carried Henry on his back. He originally wanted to pass by him silently, but then he stopped. After hesitating for a moment, he put Henry down safely, and then took Henry from his waist.
He pulled out his pistol, pointed it at the sleeping Chino, and kicked him mercilessly.
"Ah~~!"
The screams like a slaughtering pig echoed through the empty cave, and even Donnie was startled by Victor's actions.
He didn't know Kino and thought he was just a miner taking a break from his busy schedule.
The naked Kino groped around in a hurry, still not understanding what was going on. Finally, he looked up and saw the dark muzzle of the gun. He immediately jumped up and clung to the wall, his legs shaking with fear.
"Mr. Victor, what are you doing?" Donny Bicheno asked first.
Victor ignored him, the muzzle of the gun still did not move, and was pointed firmly at Kino's forehead.
"Hello! We meet again, Mr. Chino."
Kino clung to the wall, showing an extremely forced smile. He stretched out his hand to move the muzzle of Victor's gun, but Victor's expression turned harsh, and he was frightened and put down his hand again.
"Vic...Mr. Victor, why are you here."
"Is this what I want to ask you? I remember that you should be dead."
Victor holds the trigger with his finger, and as long as the opponent makes a move, he will immediately shoot the opponent's head.
Kino's eyes swayed: "Maybe... I am lucky, haha... I am lucky, by the way, have you eaten?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Thomas' men shot you four or five times at your vitals, except for your head. How can this be fatal?" Victor took a step forward, and Kino's lips began to tremble. Victor continued to ask: "Are you Thomas's person? Keeping his secret here?"
"Secret?" Kino was still pretending, "Are you talking about gold? Ah~! Yes, there are indeed hidden mineral veins here, I think..."
Victor hit him hard in the face with the butt of his gun: "I admire you for being able to fall asleep here."
Kino covered his bleeding nose and wailed bitterly. This time he stopped talking nonsense: "I... I really don't know what you are talking about... Those monsters tied me in and left me here to fend for myself.
Self-destruction, what else can I do?"
Hearing this, Victor frowned and looked back at Donnie with small eyes.
However, the sheriff's responses were always slow and unable to give any insights, which made Victor miss Henry's waking hours.
"Mr. Victor... listen to me... I will explain why I am still alive, but first, can we work together and find an exit to get out of here first? Those monsters... those dog-like things, they will eat
Human!" Kino cried with snot and tears, "Did you see the dead people over there? It was some kind of evil ritual. Their internal organs were dug out and thrown into the ditch below, and they wandered in the tunnel.
The monsters in the tunnel feed on the carrion in the tunnel... It’s so scary, you definitely don’t want to see that.”
The other party's hasty explanation did not win Victor's understanding. On the contrary, Victor became even more suspicious.
"Eating people? I can see that, but when a healthy and fresh person like you is lying here safe and sound, why do they want to eat dried offal?"
Kino was speechless for a moment, racking his brains for a long time before clapping his hands and saying: "I understand, sir, you are really a genius, why didn't I think of that! Because... because they only like to eat dead people!"
What logic is this?
Victor couldn't laugh or cry.
"If you like eating dead people, why don't I just shoot you to death?"
Even Donnie, who was slow to react, burst into laughter when he heard these words.
"I...I don't know either..." Kino cried, "Mr. Victor...I've been trapped here for several days. Let's go together! Please believe me."
"Go? Where to go?" Victor raised his head.
"I have been exploring the tunnels during this period. Now there is only one tunnel that I have not explored. There is a wandering monster sleeping there. I dare not go there..." Kino said, pointing to the gun in Victor's hand.
"You have a gun, let's kill it!"
Only one?
Victor looked at the naked old man in front of him suspiciously.
Before, they encountered a group of monsters that were attacking in a menacing manner. Based on their experience in fighting against the creeping source of matter, their first reaction was to hide in the cage.
"How do you know the bullet can kill it?" Victor narrowed his eyes.
"You can't kill him if you hit him on the body, but you'll be fine if you hit him on the head!" Chino was about to continue, but suddenly realized that he had let slip.
"You know me so well..." Victor pulled him over, "Then... how about... you become the bait?"
……
This guy has something to do with Thomas, and Victor immediately comes to this obvious conclusion.
But now we are faced with a dilemma, that is, what to do with Chino.
If he is really Thomas's man, then he must know where the other exit is. But this guy is very insidious and wants to lead Victor to the monster.
If we kill him, it will be difficult to find the exit in this complicated underground tunnel in a short time.
So how to use the other party?
Use him as bait?
It would be very disadvantageous if the opponent has a way to hide his aura and prevent monsters from hurting him.
But if we just let him go, the situation will definitely get worse.
"Donnie, go and carry Henry..." Victor thought about it and finally decided to consider the safety of his companions first.
He found a rope from the ground, tied Kino's hands behind his back, and held the other end of the rope.
The rope is three to four meters long, which is enough distance for shooting.
At such a short distance, no matter how bad your marksmanship is, you can still hit it.
Kino had a bitter look on his face, and Victor led the way with a gun pointed at his back. Victor even tied an oil lamp to him.
"I'll let this guy seduce the monster in a while, and then I'll find a chance to shoot. You stay away...if, if I miss, or this guy is cheating, you can run back with the detective on your back!"
After hearing this, Donnie took a long time to react before he realized that Victor was planning to gamble with himself.
He opened his mouth with a shocked expression, and he couldn't help but respect Victor.
"Master Victor...do you really want to do this?"
"Yes! Victor...Master, can you think about it?"
The last sentence was said by Kino, who looked so scared that he almost peed.
Victor kicked his ass and asked him to lead the way.
Facing the dark gun muzzle behind him, Kino could not resist, and could only move slowly towards a fork in the road in great fear.
The far-reaching tunnel has no light or sound, just like the terrifying esophagus of some huge creature. No one knows in which section the food swallowed will be digested.
Even though there was an unlucky guy to lead the way, no one dared to make any unnecessary noises when heading towards the unknown territory, except for the sound of each other swallowing saliva.
Finally, Kino stopped. He hurriedly leaned against a huge rock close to the wall, and took Victor with him.
"Shh...shh!" He was very nervous, his hands were tied and he couldn't stretch out his fingers, so he had to try his best to keep others silent.
Not far behind the giant rock, there was a rickety black figure, squatting there and digging into the gravel in front of it. It was covered in hair, and its ears were erect with sharp horns. Occasionally, it turned around to reveal its eyeballs.
It is full of blood, its skin is as hard as rubber, and its forelimbs are like human fingers with sharp nails.
Its split mouth was full of terrifying fangs, and its tongue was all over the floor.
This was the first time that Victor clearly saw the true appearance of the monster in the tunnel, and he couldn't help but take a breath.
Isn't this ugly appearance the hyena-like creature that gnawed on the corpse of the male prostitute?
