Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

Li Ang glanced at Lin En and found that he didn't pay attention to the situation here, so he came over and whispered, "This is a small prop I made last night, but when it is used as a temporary spell-casting medium, you should not have recovered yet." Right? Use this if you are in danger."

"But when the red color fades completely, this thing will no longer be usable. You must pay attention." Li Ang warned.

"I will be careful." Adele glanced at Li Ang in surprise, and without asking him how he made it, she silently put the rough necklace around her neck.

"Then it's time for me to go to school."

"It's already this time, and she still has to go to school?" Seeing Adele leave alone, Linn said with some surprise, "For safety reasons, shouldn't we stay too far apart?"

There are dangers hidden under the peaceful surface of this city. Some people are not known to have been devoured by those monsters. The missing persons known to the police may only be a small number of people.

And those of them who have mastered a certain degree of truth face far greater risks than ordinary people who know nothing.

In Linn's opinion, the most important thing they should do now is to act as a team, and forget about going to school and going to work.

"...She still has things to do there." Li Ang retracted his gaze and said.

He actually didn't agree with Adele going to school alone, especially when there was already another victim in the school. Now was not the time to play the role of a good student.

But Adele convinced Leon that she still needed to continue to contact Professor Valk and find a way to fool him out.

And... Li Ang actually doesn't need to worry so much. After being alert, Adele will not be so easily deceived by the disguises of those monsters. What's more, the school is also a very densely populated place, and there are people everywhere. Those monsters are unlikely to show up with such swagger.

"What about you? It seems like you haven't recovered yet. Do you want to stay and continue to rest?"

"No, no, no, I don't want to stay alone," Linn's head shook like a rattle, "I'll go with you."

Chapter 71 Sewers

Stay here alone?

Are you kidding? Lin En has already decided that even if he broke his leg yesterday, he would still need a crutch to carry him out. What's more, she is only a little weak now and her mobility is not affected much.

It was too dangerous to be alone, and his instinct told Linn that it would be safer to stay with this police officer.

And after carefully recalling his experience yesterday, Lin En had a vague guess in his heart. Those monsters... seemed to be actively avoiding Li Ang, otherwise there were many things that could not be explained at all.

For example, when they were exploring the basement of Kitano's house yesterday, Li Ang was obviously closer to the monster than Lin En, but it was Lin En who was targeted.

Lin En did speak out first to attract the monster's attention, but then Li Ang fired several shots at the monster. Even this failed to attract the hatred. The monster seemed to have spotted him and kept chasing him. Hold on to him.

Those monsters came to the door that night, but after sleeping here all night, Lin En didn't even see the shadow of the monsters.

The contrast between the two sides was so stark that Lin En would inevitably make some unrealistic guesses. Even if he guessed wrong, it would be much safer for the two of them to work together than to act alone.

"It's up to you. There's still a lot to do today. If you can't persist, I won't accompany you." Li Ang said.

"No problem, I can keep up." Linn replied without thinking.

They really have a lot to do today. It seems that even if Lin En is not in good condition, Li Ang has no intention of changing the plan.

According to yesterday's plan, they next went to the city hall to ask for the design drawings of the sewers. Although it was basically confirmed that the sewers were the lair of those monsters, Li Ang felt that there was still a need to investigate there personally. His intuition told Li Ang that they would definitely have to work with the sewers in the future. deal with.

The road leaving the city was cut off halfway, and they couldn't fly to the sky. So the only place Li Ang hadn't investigated was the underground of the city.

After learning about Li Ang's plan, Lin En also gritted his teeth and followed resolutely. He believed that Li Ang would not be stupid enough to seek death, and in terms of combat effectiveness alone, Li Ang was much stronger than him.

The two drove the police car straight to the city hall.

Neither of them were considered low-level police officers running errands. The one-time visit of two senior police officers attracted the attention of the municipal department, and a small leader was specially sent to receive them.

Despite the cooperation of the municipal departments, their progress is still very slow.

After all, apart from daily repairs, the last time a complete sewer design was used was more than ten years ago, and the history of Sagazaki City’s sewers can be traced back hundreds of years, which is larger than that in this city. Some people are older.

After several renovations and expansions over the past hundred years, no one can tell what the underground of this city looks like. If Li Ang's perception is not suppressed, he can spend a little time and completely scan the underground of the city, but now he We can only place our hopes on the design drawings that we don’t know if we can find.

"Finally found it, it should be this one."

The tall and thin department manager pulled out a dusty file box from the cabinet with some difficulty, wiped the sweat from his head and said, "These should be the drawings left over from the large-scale sewer repairs in 15. As for those previous drawings, I don’t know where they are.”

"That's enough, thank you." When the file box was found, Li Ang thanked him.

"Is there anything else I can do to help?"

"If possible, I would also like a complete map of Sagazaki City."

"It's easy. I'll bring you one right away."

Soon, the supervisor brought them a thick map manual.

Li Ang and Lin En found an empty office in the city hall and began to study the newly obtained sewer design drawing.

After a few cursory glances, Li Ang didn't find anything strange in this design drawing.

Sagazaki has not changed much in the past ten years. As long as a landmark building is identified, the map of Sagazaki City and the map of the sewer can be quickly matched with each other.

With a clear division of labor between the two, they quickly determined the specific location of Kitano House on the sewer design map.

It was very close to a branch tunnel of the sewer. If nothing else, the pool that Kitano dug in his basement should have been connected to the sewage pipe under their house and then merged into this branch tunnel.

The design map also clearly marked the locations of several maintenance entrances in that area. With this design map, they did not need to find a guide who was familiar with the sewer environment.

"Let's go over and take a look." Li Ang said immediately.

Lin En opened his mouth slightly, expecting that even if he objected verbally, it would be of no use, so he could only stand up silently and follow him.

Before leaving, they took pictures of all the design drawings with their mobile phones and returned them intact.

The destination this time was very close to Kitano House, but they had no intention of going there to take a look. Although the door of Kitano House had been violently destroyed by them, no one usually came here, so there was no need to worry about being discovered.

And that basement... Li Ang simply removed a huge stone from the nearby rockery and pressed it directly on the entrance to the basement. The powerful force shocked Lin En.

Although those monsters pose a high threat to humans, strength is their weakness. No matter how highly mutated they are, they cannot ignore their size and directly smash the boulder pressing on them.

After climbing down a considerable distance through the shaft of the maintenance tunnel, they finally entered the 'heart' of the city, the sewer system located deep underground.

The passages here are complicated. If there is no one to lead the way, or if there is no blueprint, they will definitely get lost in it.

However, unlike what most people imagine, the sewers are not as dirty as they guessed.

Thanks to the diversion of rainwater and sewage, although there is heavy moisture in the sewers of modern cities, there is not much odor. At the top of the wide tunnel, you can see large and small pipes passing above their heads. Those stinking Sewage basically flows through these pipes.

Looking at Li Ang who didn't stop even a step ahead, Lin En couldn't help but chase after him and asked,

"Police department, what exactly are we looking for in the sewers?"

Chapter 72 Platform

That's a good question, what did he want to find in the sewers?Li Ang also wanted to know the answer to this question.

However, Li Ang's expression did not change on the surface. He replied very calmly, "Let's go down this tunnel first and see if we can find any clues."

For example... those traces of monster activity?Or any other clues that can attract Li Ang's attention.

After all, if you want to hide something, underground is one of the best options.

Linn shrugged. For him, finding nothing was probably the best result. He compared the photos of the design drawings and observed the surrounding environment.

Except for some pipes with unknown uses, the only thing Linn could see was the mud between the cracks of the wall bricks. Occasionally, one or two unfamiliar structures appeared, which he could quickly find on the design drawings. corresponding description.

Using flashlights, they bypassed the branch roads leading to other tributaries and headed straight towards the main drainage tunnel of the sewer. They did not encounter any monsters along the way, but many rats squeaked past their feet.

These tenacious rodents seem to be found everywhere, and unattended places like sewers have become their paradise.

The appearance of so many rats also represented good news. The number of monsters was not as large as they had guessed. At least there was room for rats to move in the sewers.

However, after walking such a long distance, it was strange that they didn't find even a trace of those monsters. They didn't know where they usually hide in the sewers. Could it be in the sewage pipes?

Lin En thought boredly, and suddenly, his attention was attracted by the wall beside him out of the corner of his eye.

Lin En blinked and realized that there was a rusty iron door there, almost integrated with the surrounding walls. In a dark and closed environment like the sewer, if you are not careful, it is indeed possible. Ignore this thing.

"what is this?"

Stopping, Linn pushed the door curiously, but the iron door didn't move at all, and seemed to be completely rusted to death.

Lin lowered his head and flipped through the photos of the design drawings he had taken, only to find that this door was not marked on the design drawings. His intuition told Lin En that there might be some secret hidden behind this rusty door. So he hurriedly greeted Li Ang who was not far away.

"Police Department! I found a door that was not marked on the blueprint!"

Hearing Lin En's call, Li Ang also noticed the hidden iron door.

Scanning behind the door with his senses, Li Ang found that there was actually a ladder leading further down. The structure of the sewer was inherently complicated, and the map he drew in his mind with his senses was incomplete and had almost no use value.

But it can always ensure that they can return the same way.

I continued to use my senses to explore downwards, and found that through this rusty door, I could actually reach a position about 80 meters above the ground. This is almost the deepest position that can be reached in urban construction. It doesn't matter if I bury things deeper. Meaning, and the construction costs will increase exponentially.

Li Ang tried to kick it up, but the traces of rust on the door did not affect its strength at all. Apart from kicking down a lot of rust, Li Ang's kick did not have much effect.

"How about we go up and find some tools first, and then figure out how to open the door?"

It is understandable that Lin En would have such thoughts, but since learning that he suddenly used the Origin Stone skill yesterday, Li Ang decided to change his way of doing things.

"No need to bother." Li Ang glanced at him and said calmly, "I can open this door now."

Just when Lin En was a little confused, he saw a scene that almost shut down his brain. He saw Li Ang put his right hands together into a knife shape, took a slight aim, and then stabbed his hand directly into the hard iron door. .

Pulling back hard with his right hand, Li Ang pulled the entire iron door out of the wall. It was exactly the same as when he opened the basement of Kitano's house. But the problem was... what Li Ang pulled down was only a wooden door, which was still there. Within the scope of human beings, this is an iron door welded to the wall!

"you you you!!"

Lin En pointed at Li Ang with his mouth wide open, barely able to speak a complete sentence.

"What's so surprising? If you use your ability, you can do the same thing."

My ability?

Lin En was stunned for a moment, then looked at his hands, and suddenly there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It seemed like he had done something similar a long time ago, no... he seemed to have directly demolished a house.

No, no, no, how is this possible... Thinking of this, Linn couldn't help but shake his head. The first half of his life was ordinary, how could he have experienced such exciting things?Apparently he lost a bit of blood and his brain still hasn't recovered.

Lin En's reaction was all seen by Li Ang, who was on the side. He sighed secretly. Although the stimulation just now had a certain effect, it was obviously not strong enough. Lin En did not think of anything.

"Police department, do you also have special abilities?" Lin En, who came back to his senses, quickly asked.

Li Ang nodded slightly, and did not directly answer his question. Instead, he pointed to the iron door that was forcibly broken open and said, "Go down and take a look first."

While they were still trying to climb the ladder, the two of them were keenly aware of the difference here. It was completely different from the one above. The air environment here was quite dry. This situation was almost impossible to occur in the sewer, unless …Where they are now is not a sewer.

When they stepped on the ground again, Linn was stunned by the scene in front of him and shouted out loud, "This is... a subway station??"

What appeared in front of them was a subway platform that was not much different from the outside. The rails next to it extended into the darkness, leading to nowhere.

"Why is there a road leading to the subway station in the sewer? No, no, the depth here is wrong. If I remember correctly, the subway should be about 20 meters underground, but the depth here is already more than 50 meters. ?Why is there a subway station here?”

Lin En couldn't help but look at Li Ang, hoping to get an answer from him.

Of course, it was impossible for Li An to know what was going on. He could only reply,

"Maybe, that's what I want to find in the sewers."

Chapter 73 Shrine Coat of Arms

Subway station... is this the way out of the city?

After having this idea, Li Ang turned to Lin En and said, "Stop guessing and check this place first."

"There's no one here yet, but there might be in a while. We have to move fast!"

Judging from the emergency lights on the subway platform, this place is still used by people, but they don't know when the next time someone will come here. Every minute and second they spend here is precious.

"Um...oh." Linn replied blankly.

He had only been following Li Ang around for two days, and he had already seen so many incredible things. Where could there be so many messy things in Sagazaki City?Is this really the city he is familiar with?

In a daze, Linn's more than 20 years of living here seemed like a fake. His memories of being born and raised in this city were all covered with a hazy veil, making them somewhat unreal.

Speaking of which... why did he choose to become a police officer in the first place?

What are your family’s expectations?What has been your wish since childhood?It doesn't seem to be the case... In any case, Linn can't remember what made him decide to become a policeman.

Rubbing his swollen temples, Linn decided not to think about these unimportant things. There were more important things waiting for him to do. He wanted to study the subway station that appeared 80 meters underground. What is going on.

"There should be another entrance here, I'll go look for it." Linn said.

The door they came in before was completely rusted and could only be opened violently with tools, so if someone wanted to come here, there must be another way leading here.

"Then I'll check the platform. You be careful."
