In the dim pipe, a group of rat men hurriedly ran along the maintenance channel next to the sewer pipe towards the place where the fire had just appeared. However, to their surprise, when they arrived, they found that there was nothing that needed them.
It's time to take action.
Turning a corner, what appeared in front of them was Lawrence standing on the maintenance channel. Lawrence was pulling out his pistol and staring ahead with vigilance. In front of him was a man rolling in the water tank next to the maintenance channel.
The two people standing there were giant sludge monsters that were set on fire.
"What's going on?" Looking at everything in front of him, the rat man who just led the way looked at Lawrence and asked, "Where did this big guy come from? We have never found it in previous inspections."
"There is a crack in the ceiling of this place." Lawrence pointed to the top, and the rat people raised their heads and found that there was a big crack in that place. "And this big sludge monster, or the king of sludge monsters, has a certain
Wisely. He hid himself in the crack and changed the color of himself to resemble the color of the ceiling bricks."
When Lawrence followed the traces of magic aura and rushed here just now, he almost ignored this big guy, but the Bai Ze bloodline in his body about ten meters away from here gave him a feeling, so he subconsciously
I used [Detect Magic], and I just saw a large ball of magic light sticking to the ceiling.
The first time he found the other party, Lawrence took out the Molotov cocktail he had bought from the church from his space bag, and then activated [Mage's Hand] to bring the three Molotov cocktails close to the big sludge monster hiding on the ceiling. Finally,
One shot set this guy on fire.
The sludge monster now in the underground passage seemed to be made of viscous oil, so when the group of rat men ran over, what appeared in front of them was a ball of burning sludge.
.
Soon, the sludge monster that had turned into a fireball rolled smaller and smaller until it stopped moving. At the same time, Bai Ze's shadow also absorbed a ray of soul. It was obvious that the strength of the monster's soul was not as good as their physical fitness and even combat effectiveness.
There was no necessary connection. Lawrence could clearly feel that the soul provided to him by this huge sludge monster was even an order of magnitude lower than that of the evil spirit.
"The sludge monsters we saw on the road just now were all split from this big sludge monster." After confirming that the sludge monster was eliminated, Lawrence said to the rat people, "And the reason why this sludge monster became so big is
Because there is something magical in that crack mixed with the sewage and flowing down."
"Now leave one person to collect the loot, and the others will check the nearby pipe network. I want to see who is dumping this waste water again." The rat man who led the way gave instructions to the rat people behind him,
Then he turned to Lawrence and explained, "We often encounter some unethical guys who dump untreated sewage into the underground pipe network, causing the animals or other things inside to mutate."
Lawrence nodded to express his understanding. This is why when he did various alchemical experiments before, he needed to throw away the things left after the experiment at the designated place. In this world full of magic, littering causes
The harm is much more serious than in the previous life.
For Lawrence, his mission was over. The rat man signed his name on the mission letter with satisfaction. When the time comes, Lawrence only needs to take the mission letter and hand it in to the church to get the reward of five yuan.
In addition, 80% of the sludge monster essence left behind after the death of the giant sludge monster was also given to Lawrence as usual. This gray powder is either used to grow extraordinary plants or added to low-level magic potions as a palliative or some kind of additive.
are quite popular,
Of course, this also means that this thing belongs to the hard currency of the extraordinary world, and it is more convenient to sell or exchange things. So Lawrence stuffed this thing into his space pocket, preparing to put it together with the box and the incense he had captured before.
Next, under the guidance of the Rat Man, Lawrence returned to the ground, and then took a public carriage back to the detective agency. As soon as he entered the door, Saphiel greeted him. "Ha, you are finally back, this time I picked up a
Big business alone."
"Big business, what big business?" Lawrence asked a little strangely. He was now curious about who would come to entrust a task to his detective agency that had just opened for a few days, and it sounded like a very important task.
"It's like this. The lady you saw when you went out just now gave us a commission." Saphiel said, "Her owner is a wealthy widow, and all her hopes are placed on her only son.
.”
"The young man is also very good and respects his mother very much. But the strange thing is that just a few days ago, he suddenly stayed up all night. Later, after asking several of her son's friends, the lady determined that the young man
I went to Purple Moli Street that night.”
"Purple Jasmine Street? I heard that there are a lot of beautiful young ladies with half-clothed clothes there." Lawrence frowned slightly and searched his memory carefully before saying. When he came back to his senses, he found that Sephiel looked unkind.
Stare at yourself.
"Oops, the way I was thinking just now seems to have caused a little misunderstanding." Thinking of this, he quickly explained. "I swear I haven't been there, I just heard it from my classmates when I was in school. By the way, you said
That lady’s son, how old is her son now?”
"Where you have been has nothing to do with me," Saphire said, but even though he said this, the expression on his face softened immediately, and then she added.
"That lady's child is now 19 years old and studying literature at Far Harbor University. She is also an alumnus of yours. Of course, we all know that it is normal for children from rich families to go to that kind of place. And that lady
The main reason why the lady ordered her housekeeper to come to me is that her son became severely depressed after returning home, and even passed out while taking a bath."
"Did you pass out while taking a shower?" Lawrence's eyes widened after hearing this. "Then how weak must this man be?"
"It's not a matter of physical weakness." Saphire shook his head, "He was a member of the school's track and field team in school, and even won the 100-meter obstacle course championship in the Eagle Castle University Track and Field League."
"This is indeed a bit abnormal." Lawrence frowned. "The champion of the 100-meter obstacle course should not be like this. By the way, has there been any investigation into where he went?"
"Investigated, and this is why the lady came to us." Saphire looked at Lawrence and said, "She asked about the specific situation from her son and went to a hotel and bar called Amber Mead.
It turns out the lady his son said he spent the night with didn't exist."
"At first she thought her son had deceived her, but later she found out by asking people around her that the lady was actually the top boss of the hotel three years ago. Unfortunately, she was accidentally killed by her client's wife while she was out doing business.
Already."
"So what we need to investigate this time is still a story related to ghosts or curses." Lawrence said in a curious tone, "Then what should we do now? Go directly to Purple Moli Street to investigate?"
"No, of course not." Saphire said very seriously, staring into Lawrence's eyes. "The lady's son has only been to that hotel once, but his son has been doing some strange things in the few nights since he came back.
She had a dream, and every morning she woke up feeling worse than the day before. Then this morning, the situation worsened again, and her child was now in a coma. So she hoped that if we were willing to take on this task
Go to her manor first to check on his children."
"Because of this, the lady had no choice but to mobilize all her connections to find a solution to this problem. With Mr. Marshall's recommendation, she found us," Saifeir said.
"I accepted this task because after analysis, I felt that this task was worth trying. After all, it didn't seem very dangerous, and her salon was very famous. Once we can complete this task, we will take it on again."
It will be much easier to get the commission."
"Your analysis is correct." Lawrence nodded, "Then let's set off now. The sooner we deal with this type of matter, the better. If we delay it for too long, it may cause irreversible damage."
