Twilight War

04

A mechanical female voice announced the platform.

The St. Louis Street station is gone, and there won't be any more stops for a long time to come.

There were only a few of them left in the carriage, and Huang Xuanjin was used to it. There were very few people on this road.

The rail car passed through a deep tunnel, and everything fell into long darkness.

Huang Xuanjin closed his eyes and heard the sound of a heavy weapon piercing the air. He raised his hand to hold the attacker's wrist in the dark, twisted the attacker neatly and fell to the ground, and then directly stepped on the attacker's chest.

The iron pipe rolled to the ground.

The rail car drove out of the tunnel, and in the brief light and shadow, the red fire ants and the belly-cut snake protected the old man and shot down the other sneak attackers, while the gray tail was still holding a dagger like a young animal dormant in the dark.

Huang Xuanjin turned around and raised his leg to step down the attacker behind him, and twisted the black canvas shoes on the attacker's chest.

Everything was lost in darkness again.

The sound of fighting in the dark is like the drumbeat of a drama.

And the clashing sound of abrupt metal pipes was so ear-piercing that it made one feel that all the darkness was roaring.

The tunnel ends.

Light streams in from the windows of the rail car.

Everything is silent.

Everyone stopped moving, only the old man was still waving the metal pipe in his hand, "Come on, come on!"

Footsteps could be heard at the junction of the carriages.

Huang Xuanjin turned his head, wiped off the blood from the knife marks on his face, and saw a few people dressed as underground gangsters walking over.

He kicked the people under his feet, "What do you mean? We old, weak, sick and disabled, do you still want to rob us?"

"Master Jin, don't worry, we are not here this time to make money, nor to kill our lives." The leader said in a windbreaker, his voice was a little hoarse, as if soaked in smoke all year round, but with Kind of noble.

Huang Xuanjin looked up at the man in the windbreaker, "Ah... Aquinas?"

"Perhaps you can also call me Rusty Bone." The visitor ignored Huangxuan Jin and said directly.

"The second in command of the Bone Eaters, Rusty Bone?" Huang Xuanjin said almost in disbelief.

"Master Jhin has heard of me, I feel very honored." Rusty Bones said.

Who would have thought that the majestic Bishop in purple was actually the leader of an underground gang.

He looked at the wound on Huangxuan Jin's face, then lowered his head and glanced at the men who failed to sneak attack, and said in a low voice: "Who told you to use the knife, I said that I will live."

"Since you want to keep alive, why bother to sneak up on this set, just send an invitation, saying that there will be roast whole lamb at the banquet, I will definitely go. I will also bring the whole family with me. Save you such trouble." Xuan Jin frowned and said.

"That's right, anyway, our boss's IQ is not high, why do you have to be tough." The belly-cut snake also complained.

"I just came to ask you for something," Rustybone said bluntly, ignoring their rogues.

"what?"

"The key, the key to the Genesis Library," said Rustybone.

Huangxuanjin said with a puzzled look: "Creation Library? Brother, is that what you want? Just ask for the badge of a student from the Hall of Valor and you can get in, okay? It's not a difficult place to get in."

"Huangxuanjin, I'm not going to the Genesis Library to borrow books." Rusty Bones said with a light smile.

"Going in and out to sleep? People who know how to go to the library will usually do these two things." The old man who was protected behind the red fire ant muttered meanly, with an impatient look on his face.

"I secretly brought roasted sweet potatoes in to eat." Huangxuan Jin added without hesitation.

"What I want is the key to the basement floor of the Genesis Library."

"Isn't the basement floor a utility room? I remember that there were only some old books and old steam machines there." Huang Xuanjin said.

"Huangxuan Jin, thanks to you staying by Vesipel's side for so long. You don't know whether it's true or not, the basement floor of the Creation Library is not a collection of old books or broken metal."

Rusty Bone looked at Huangxuan Jin and said.

His voice was still low.Huang Xuanjin had heard that his health was not very good, and it was said that several of his bones were connected with steel plates.

In a low-ranking boss rebellion incident of the Bone Eater, one side of his bone was completely smashed, but he ended up killing all the rebels with the most cruel means.

He's a real thug.

But at this moment, his eyes were like a philosopher seeking divine will.

"——There, what is sealed is the real history of the gods."

In a trance, he was still the devout and humble Bishop of Vaner.

"The first floor of the Creation Library is called Divine Revelation. Thousands of years ago, Arthur's emperor said that Divine Revelation is God's revelation to human beings, and it is God's oracle to guide us. That is how we can know everything about God. Deeds."

"I have been there before, and in all the records on that level, the gods are like hands pierced from the clouds, guiding us. But what about the clouds? None of us can see the appearance of the gods behind the clouds."

"And the basement floor of the Genesis Library is something that has never been known to the world—a miracle."

Rustybone spoke slowly, he was obviously a thug, but his voice sounded like an elegant and haughty ancient nobleman.

As he spoke, he paced back and forth in the swaying carriage, his iron-clad heels making a crisp crashing sound on the metal carriage.

"The miracle is the God behind the clouds that Arthur's elders deliberately concealed from the world. He is the real God. And the key to the miracle has always been held by the blue-blooded nobles of the Arthur Empire."

"Those veterans who have not seen the sun all year round are hiding in their mansions like vampires, holding the keys tightly, for fear that others will see the gods they believe in."

Rustybone has a pair of iron-gray eyes. When he said this, it seemed that there were dark clouds and shadows under the clouds in his eyes.

"So Mrs. Montespoon stole the key from the head of the Brutus family, one of the blue-blooded nobles..." Huangxuan Jin looked up at Rusty Bones and said, "If I remember correctly, she should have stolen the key." Take the dragon's breath stone of House Brutus."

"Yes." Rustybone nodded.

"This matter should also have something to do with the Cardinal..." Gray Tail, who had been hiding behind, said suddenly: "The person who killed Montespoon last time said that the person who came to grab the things was from the Cardinal."

"Yes, Gregory is Lady Montespoon's patron, but they don't trust each other," said Rustybone.

"So after being expelled from the Brutus family, Mrs. Montespoon defected to Gregory?" Huang Xuanjin asked.

"Yes, but she only told Gregory that she stole the Dragon's Breath Stone, but she didn't tell him that she also took the key to the Genesis Library. Later, after Mrs. Montespoon escaped from him, he heard that Bu The Lutus family lost the dragon's breath stone and the key to the miracle before they realized that that bitch lied to him."

"So he hired the Bone Eaters to find Mrs. Montespoon, and wanted to get back the key to the Genesis Library." Huang Xuanjin asked.

"Employment? Bone Eaters won't be hired by anyone." Rustybone shook his head as if amused, "We are just cooperating, and our cooperation is very happy, even longer than the Queen's accession."

"The silver of the great abyss that you illegally sold in the black market was obtained from Gregory?" Huangxuanjin said, "I said, where does the bone eater have the confidence to monopolize the silver of the great abyss market?"

"What about you? Where did you get the silver of the great abyss you sold on the black market?" Rustybones asked indifferently.

"Of course it came from Isabel! Eating soft rice is also a skill!" Huang Xuanjin said.

"In short, you and I are not clean, are we?" Rusty Bone looked at Huangxuan Jin and said.

"I am very clean! You look down on those who eat soft food! This is what I rely on my strength to eat soft food!" Huang Xuanjin immediately said unfairly, "Then what is the relationship between Gregory and the Ring Spirit? You and the Ring Spirit What's the relationship."

"What's the relationship between a spider on a web?" Rusty Bones stopped and looked up at Huangxuan Jin and said.

"Then the net is really big." Huang Xuanjin said.

This huge net formed by ring spirits, religions, gangsters, and nobles did not know when it had shrouded the huge Westland in darkness...

And all the people are solitary wandering in the net.

"Poor woman fell in love with Fenrir and was willing to give everything for him." Rustybone's voice couldn't tell whether it was pity or contempt, "and Gregory also dedicated the Dragon's Breath Stone to the Ringwraiths. ring spirit."

"Then what about you, why did you tell me all this?" Huang Xuanjin said.

"Because I don't want to kill you, instead, we'll be friends," Rustybone said.

"Friend? Is this how you treat your friends?" Huang Xuanjin wiped the blood off his face, and his clean fingertips were stained with scarlet.

"Huangxuan Jin, you are a thug at heart." Rusty Bones said with a smile, a touch of madness in his elegant and noble voice, "Blood is the best gift to a thug."

"But I don't want such a gift." Huang Xuanjin shook his head, then suddenly took out a dagger from his waist, and flew around many bone eaters by stepping on the seats on the rail car. like the wings of moths in the light.

He got up and grabbed the handle hanging from the rail car, pressed the dagger against Rustybone's neck, and then fell in front of Rustybone.

Those eyes were sharp and chilling.

"Let us leave." Huang Xuanjin said in a low voice, and the dagger in his hand was slowly lowered following his voice.

But Rusty Bone just smiled slightly, pulled out the gun from his waist, and slowly lifted it up, pointing the gun at the old man leaning on the metal elbow.

"Huangxuanjin, no one should stand behind a real thug." Rusty Bones said softly.

"Rustbones, do you think I really won't kill you?" Huang Xuanjin smiled almost nervously, "I seldom kill people, just because I find it troublesome. I have seen too much death, and death is very important to me. It’s too common for me. It’s like an ant landed in front of me, I can go around it with a good temper, but even if I just step on it, I won’t care.”

"Then where did you see so many deaths?" Rustybone suddenly laughed, "...Could it be the second Twilight Battle?"

Rustybone looked at him with something almost sad in his eyes.

Huang Xuanjin remembered that long ago, when he picked up the gold coins on the ground for him, there was such compassion in his eyes.

The wrist on his hand snapped, and blood flowed from Rusty's neck.

However, before Rusty Bone could laugh again, Huang Xuanjin took the flintlock gun along his arm, and then shot at the car door.

The emergency system of the rail car was activated instantly, and the doors on both sides opened wide!

The rail car was suddenly plunged into darkness again.

"Jump to the right, quick!"

Huang Xuanjin shouted.

The red fire ant immediately carried the old man on its back and jumped out from the right door.

In the darkness, Huang Xuanjin withdrew the dagger from Rusty Bone's neck, and jumped out of the car at the moment when the door was about to close with several people's shoulders on it.

"Catch up," Rustybone said.

The rail car roared out of the tunnel, and the sunlight illuminated the gray eyes of rusty bones like dark clouds.

"There are several sections of unfinished underground tunnels nearby." Huangxuan Jin struggled to get up from the ground.

He took out a fuel lighter from his pocket, lit a few kerosene lamps for maintenance on the tunnel wall, and then took two and handed them to Gray Tail and Belly Snake.

"What's wrong with your leg?" Huiwei looked at Huangxuan Jin.

Huang Xuanjin lifted up his trouser legs, and there were large bruises on it, and the blood seeping seemed to dye his trousers red.

"I don't know who got the sap just now." Huang Xuanjin said.

"It's definitely not me." The old man shouted, waving the metal elbow in his hand.

"Don't worry, you don't have so much strength." Huang Xuanjin lowered his head and put down his trouser legs.

"Hurry up, they will catch up right away, but the underground tunnel here is like an ant's nest, so it's hard for them to find." Huang Xuanjin picked up the kerosene lamp hanging on the wall, and walked up one of the forked roads.

"Boss, are you familiar with this?" Red Fire Ant asked after Huang Xuanjin.

"I don't know, I only came down a few times when I was idle and bored, but I just walked casually and didn't remember the way at all. Moreover, the road repair here is messy, and I don't know who repaired it back then. He should be pulled out and executed." Huang Xuanjin gritted his teeth and said while enduring the pain in his leg while looking at the road ahead.

He carefully recalled the path he took every time he came here, trying to find a way for them to escape.

"That's because you are too stupid to remember the way! No matter how I look at it, this repair is not bad!"

"If you have the ability, come down and find your way!" Gray Tail said coldly.

The old man pursed his mouth and said nothing.

"This tunnel has been built for about five or sixty years." The belly-cut snake said looking at the tunnel wall illuminated by lights.

A lot of damp moss had grown on the tunnel, and the rails under their feet seemed to lead to endlessness. The stones they accidentally brought hit the rails, and the reverberation in the tunnel was long and deep, almost terrifying.

"Yes, but I don't know why it stopped. It is said that the repair is less than one-third of the plan, but it is already a big project that wastes people and money. It is said that the previous monarch of Vana strongly supported it at that time." Huang Xuanjin dragged Looking at his bruised right leg.

"Mad King Luis?" the belly-cut snake asked.

"En." Huang Xuanjin nodded.

"That's why it stopped working, a project supported by a lunatic..." said the belly-cut snake.

"Ring the Bell of Dole..." Gray Tail illuminated the black writing on the tunnel wall.

The age of those words has long been unknown, but the madness of the writer can still be seen from the handwriting.

The water above the tunnel dripped, deep and silent.

"I've seen these things before, and I don't know who wrote them." Huang Xuanjin walked forward without looking back, "It is said that several people went crazy during the construction of the underground tunnel. Some people said that they saw something that shouldn't be. something seen by humans."

"Nonsense! You were still in your mother's womb back then, what nonsense are you talking about?" the old man said angrily.

"It's none of your business." Huang Xuanjin continued to walk forward, and the lights illuminated the hideous words on both sides of the tunnel.

——What is burning is the blood of the ancient gods!

"What do these mean?" the belly-cut snake asked, licking the corner of its mouth.

"It's probably written by a lunatic, do you still have to ask why the lunatic wrote this?" Huang Xuanjin said with a smile.

They walked through a long tunnel, and those words seemed to be ghosts that might appear at any time.

——Dusk finally comes, and the eyes are rotten.

The kerosene lamp illuminates those fierce words, and then they return to darkness again. However, there are still many ferocious ravings hidden in the darkness of this long and deep tunnel.

"There are footsteps." Huang Xuanjin said.

It's too quiet here, any sound will be infinitely amplified, like the echo of a drop of water will make people crazy.

"Go this way."

"Hey, do you know the way? Just walk around!" The old man looked resentful.

"It's better than standing here waiting to die."

However, they didn't go far when they were suddenly stopped by a metal gate in the tunnel.

"It's a coded lock, but if you enter the wrong code, the entire door will be locked directly." Belly Snake checked the metal door and said, "But I can try to unlock it from below..."

"En." Huangxuan Jin endured the pain and nodded. The injury on his leg was too serious, so he could only lean against the tunnel wall temporarily. "Hurry up, the footsteps are approaching..."

The belly-cut snake lowered its head and studied the mechanical lock seriously, "The shape of this mechanical lock is very old, it must have a history of several decades, and there are rust spots on the inside, so it is very difficult to handle."

The accumulated water on the upper side of the tunnel dripped continuously and formed a pool under their feet.

The sound of footsteps passing through the tunnel walls is like a haunting ghost.

"Can you do it, you!" The old man cursed angrily while lying on the back of the red fire ant.

"Soon, soon." Belly Snake said hurriedly, but he himself knew that he was completely unfamiliar with this kind of lock, and his palms were covered with sweat when he was holding the thin pliers.

"Take your time, it's okay, even if they come over, it's not like we can't fight." Huang Xuanjin gritted his teeth and said.

"You can fight! Can I! Do you think I am as desperate as you! I still want to live a few more years." The old man swung the metal pipe and cursed.

"Old man, as long as you are like this, it doesn't make any difference if you live a few more years or a few years less." Huangxuan Jinhou said leaning his head against the tunnel wall.

"Then what about you, is this trash like you useful?" the old man scolded.

"It's useless." Huang Xuanjin said with a chuckle, his black hair was wet with sweat on his forehead.

Living like this is really meaningless.

Nesting in the same place every day, watching the same dusk.

Sometimes the evening sun shone on his bed, slowly moving over his bare|exposed skin, and he even wondered if he would just die like this.

Half asleep, half awake, half asleep, he has lived like this for too long.

Even his eyes began to fear the sun.

Only pain can remind him that he is still alive.

But this kind of reminder doesn't seem to be good.

He turned his head to look at the belly-cut snake struggling to open the lock.

The sound of footsteps was getting closer, he pulled out the dagger from his waist, and supported himself from the tunnel wall with his hands, "It seems that a war is inevitable..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly pushed aside by the old man.

The old man jumped over the belly-cut snake and directly entered a few numbers.

The heavy metal door opened.

Everyone except the old man froze in place.

The old man leaned on a metal bent pipe and walked through the metal gate with a look of hesitation, "I have participated in the construction of this tunnel before."
