book of old days

Chapter 19 Creatures in the Shadows
"That's the man, Leander Lanster. I have to say, this kid is very lucky." Alhaz said, with a bit of schadenfreude on his face.

Sean also recognized it. This Lancet had been in the newspapers. Although it was not very clear, he could vaguely recognize it.

Sean took out a bottle of potion from his pocket, took out two towels, and threw one to Alhaz, "I'll clean it up later."

"Where did you get this?" Alhaz asked while fiddling with the medicine bottle in his hand.

"'Borrowed' from the chemistry lab, just cover his mouth and a bull could faint."

Finally, Lanster in the mirror lay down, holding the beautiful woman in his arms with a face full of intoxication, and suddenly glanced at the mirror side, and the two hurriedly hid outside the mirror.

"What's the matter, dear?" the woman asked, and Lancet looked at the mirror hesitantly. He seemed to see a figure in the mirror just now. He looked in the opposite direction of the mirror, but there was only the wall behind him, the night room It was already dark, lit only by a single gas lamp, so he wasn't sure what he saw.

He must have read it wrong, he shook his head, and started exercising again with the woman in his arms. After an unknown amount of time, when the two people on the other side of the mirror were almost getting bored, Lance finally turned off the light , lay down and fell asleep.

Alhaz snorted coldly, "This guy is quite capable, come on, let's act quickly."

As he said, he put his hand on the mirror, and suddenly there were ripples on the mirror again, and the two walked out of the mirror,

Standing on the carpet in the hotel room, I looked at the darkness around me, and the silhouette of a human body that was faintly visible on the big bed.

Sean was extremely nervous and a little excited at the same time. He felt like he was playing Assassin's Creed. He soaked two towels in ether, and each held one. The two walked to the bed carefully, watching the people on the bed getting closer , his heart reached its peak, and at this moment, there was a bang, his heart almost missed half a beat, and he turned to look at Alhaz, who looked at him with an embarrassed face, a copper The kettle rolls far away.

Dry!
The light came on suddenly, and when he turned around, he saw Lanster standing up straight from the bed and lighting the gas lamp beside the bed. The match in his hand was still not extinguished.

Both parties froze in fright for a moment. Sean had never expected such a scene, and was a little overwhelmed for a while, while Lance was frightened by the sudden appearance of two mysterious men in black robes.

After a few seconds, both sides moved almost simultaneously.

Alhaz rushed over directly, wanting to put the towel in his hand to Lanster's mouth, but Lanster quickly turned over and rolled under the bed, pulled out the saber hanging on the chair, and swung the sword with his backhand towards Lanster. Alhaz swung it away.

Alhaz turned around and ran in fright, the towel in his hand flew out, Sean took out his pistol—"Stop!" he shouted, but Lanster ignored him and continued to chase Alhaz and stab .

Seeing that Alhaz was forced into a corner, Xiao En couldn't care less.

With a bang, Lanster was shot in the shoulder and fell to the ground with a scream.

The gunshot also woke up the woman on the bed, and saw the scene in the room, followed by a hysterical scream.

Sean's scalp tingled for a while, and there were gunshots and screams again. This time, the plan for the covert operation was completely ruined. Fortunately, Alhaz is fine.

The woman was still screaming, so he rushed to the bed angrily, grabbed the woman's white neck, and stuffed the muzzle of the gun into the woman's mouth. Looking at the woman's terrified eyes, Sean still held back and didn't shoot. Picking up the towel and covering the woman's mouth, the woman fainted after seeing the whites of her eyes.

The surroundings finally became quiet, only Lanster on the ground was still groaning. At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door. Lanster suddenly seemed to grasp the straw and shouted for help.

The two didn't dare to hesitate, one hugged the head and the other hugged the legs, lifted Lanster up and walked into the mirror.

Alhaz also took Lanster's saber along with him. Just as the three of them passed through the mirror, the door of the room behind them was knocked open. The two of them carried Lanster on their shoulders without any hesitation. The direction of time started trotting.

"Who the hell are you? What the hell kind of place is this?" Lancet shouted in horror, struggling on the shoulders of the two of them.

"Shut up, you bastard." Alhaz didn't like Lanster at all, and punched the wound on his shoulder. Lanster screamed, and finally he didn't dare to struggle any more, and ran away with Lanster on his shoulders. After several hundred meters, Sean's feet suddenly went limp, and the two of them fell to the ground at the same time, together with Lanster who was carrying him, fell into a ball, and all three of them were gasping for breath.

Alhaz suddenly laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, it's really fucking exciting."

Xiao En glanced at him angrily. He didn't expect that this guy had a good plan and was very confident.

He felt a surge of nausea in his chest, and suddenly he couldn't help coughing.

Cough cough cough, cough cough cough, the cough became more and more serious, the running just now seemed to have aroused some kind of malice in his body, he stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and nose, looked down, his hand was covered with black blood.

"Your illness is getting worse."

Alhaz said quietly.

Sean didn't say anything, and struggled to stand up, but he felt powerless.

Alhaz was still talking to himself, "I'm afraid that the news of Lanster's kidnapping will spread immediately. The only good news is that we are walking in the mirror world. No matter how people are in reality They couldn't find us either."

Sean sighed. Having said that, this situation still deviated from the original plan.

After resting enough, the two stood up. Xiao En patted the dust on his body, and suddenly found that the surroundings were strange.

"Where are we running to?"

"The world in the mirror, where else can it be." Alhaz said, looking around, "Ah, I understand what you mean, it does look a little strange here.

Although the world in the mirror is very dark, generally speaking, there are still light sources in most areas. It is a kind of hazy light. Although it is not very bright, and even has an ominous sense of gloom, it can at least illuminate the surroundings.

However, what they were in now was in the shadow cast by a huge ruin, the surroundings were abnormally dark, and they couldn't see their fingers in front of them, only the direction they came from behind, and they could still see the glare of the light.

When the two of them acted before, they would deliberately avoid the area covered by shadows, and only acted on the stone bridge, but just now they panicked and broke in.

"Who are you guys! Do you know who I am? If you dare to kidnap me, my father will never let you go!"

Lanster yelled, shivering because he was naked.

"Hush!" Alhaz growled, and pointed to his ear. Xiao En listened attentively. In the darkness all around, there was some kind of strange sound. It seemed that something was about to move.

The two retreated instinctively, and as far as their eyes could see, a black figure emerged from the darkness. It was by no means a projection of reality, but a living creature that actually existed.

It only looks like a three-part human, its body is slowly wriggling in the air like an upright worm, but there is a round ball like a human face on its head, and a pair of white slightly glowing eyes are embedded in the human face , like a bug that drilled out of the darkness, attracted by something, carefully tried to get close to the three of them.

For no reason, an extremely dangerous feeling rose in Sean's heart.
