Chapter 15: Windfall
The revenge was avenged, as if he had taken off the heavy burden, Renn was relaxed and happy.
He glanced at Ramsey's body and muttered, "Last time you stole my money, this time it's my turn."
So he went forward and searched, only to find a wallet, nothing else.
Didn't take a closer look at how much money was in the wallet, Ren dragged Ramsey's body and threw it into the river, suddenly realizing that his strength had increased a lot.
As an adult, Ramsey is not light, but he can drag it up without any effort, even with one hand, as easy as grabbing a brick.
"My strength has increased by at least two or three times!"
Rehn was very pleasantly surprised. He threw Ramsey's body into the river with all his strength. It was thrown six or seven meters away, fell into the water with a plop, and was quickly washed away by the river.
After the treatment, Ren went back immediately and checked his physical condition.
"Fuck!"
Ryan was startled as soon as he opened the phone interface, "The battery is already full, no wonder I have become so strong."
has been in the battle just now, he did not pay special attention to the battery of the phone, only looked at it when he killed Asperger. At that time, it skyrocketed by more than 50%, and the souls of three people were absorbed in the back, and there was also an iron guard. Unknowingly, the power reached 100%!
Rehn had speculated that the stronger the soul absorbed, the more electricity he received, and it seems that it is true now.
When absorbing the soul of the fallen one for the first time, it contributed eight grids of electricity.
The fallen one is just an ordinary person, and among the four people absorbed tonight, there are two extraordinary ones. Especially Asperger, who is still a second-level shadow warrior, his soul strength alone can match five ordinary people.
Together with the Iron Guard and two ordinary people, the battery is almost fully charged.
"I just felt that the soul seemed to have been sublimated. It was not an illusion, but the strength of the soul has risen to a new stage."
Rain has long understood that electricity is not only related to his physical state, but also represents the strength of his soul.
The higher the battery, the stronger the soul.
Now that the battery is full, Ren's physical fitness has been enhanced. Although it has not reached the level of extraordinary people, it is far more than ordinary people. Just like after years of continuous exercise, he feels that his whole body has endless energy, as if he never will. Will be tired.
Besides, the icons in the phone activated several at one go, but there is no time to explore now.
Renn quickly returned to the side of the carriage, where Asperger's body was still there.
The badly injured horse was not dead, and it wailed from time to time. Its legs broke two and it is impossible to run again. The coachman had already been cold. He was the first to die, probably because he was far away and Renn had not absorbed the coachman's soul.
Wren got into the carriage and searched, but found nothing of value.
Similarly, Asperger has only one wallet.
He picked up Asperger's long sword, returned to the side of the carriage, and pierced the horse's skull with a sword, ending its pain.
A soul flew out of the horse carcass and was absorbed by Ren, but nothing changed.
"It seems that after the battery is fully charged, it is useless to absorb more souls."
Ren took the long sword in its sheath, put it back behind him, held the shotgun in his hand, and walked toward the manor.
The manor was very quiet, Ren hid in the grass outside and waited patiently for more than ten minutes. No one came out anymore, apparently there was no one.
But he didn't take it lightly, holding a gun against the wall, and exploring the inside step by step.
The manor is not big, Renn quickly searched it roughly, but no one was found, so he was a little relieved.
The furnishings in this manor were more rudimentary than he had expected. Many places were not well maintained. The rooms on the third floor were empty, the interior decoration was very low, the sanitary condition was poor, and the kitchen smelled like a lot of smell. It's not like a place where rich people live on vacation.
There is only a relatively clean room on the second floor, which should have been occupied by Asperger.
Ryan searched through the boxes and cabinets, and finally found a suitcase under the desk. He lifted it heavily, as if it was full of things.
The boxy suitcase is not big and not locked, it can be opened by unlocking the two locks.
Ryan stood farther, picked up the lock with a long sword, and opened the box.
"hiss..."
Ren took a breath, almost thought that his eyes were spent, because the box was full of money!
These money are 100 copper yuan banknotes, tied in piles and stacked neatly, filling the whole box. Visually, there are about thirty or forty stacks of banknotes, each of which is 100, which is 10,000 copper yuan. The total amount of money in this box exceeds 300,000!
"Damn, this is a big fortune!"
Rehn was very excited. For the past half month, he has been living on the little savings he left behind. He has been worrying about how to make money, so he just touched the wallets of Ramsey and Asperger. Unexpectedly, he sent it out in a flash. A windfall.
"This should be the money Asperger got from handling the stolen goods, and it is only a small part, most of which is still hidden in his home in the city."
Renn was not dazzled by the money. It was necessary to confirm that the money was not dangerous.
He poured the money out of the box, checked every wad of banknotes to make sure there were no foreign objects in it, and then found a bag to put it in instead of repacking it in the suitcase.
"A total of 360,000 yuan, equivalent to 360 gold shields, is a huge sum of money."
Reyn went downstairs with the purse happily, ready to leave.
When he came down the stairs, his eyes swept across a small door at the corner, and he couldn't help but stop.
This kind of small door located at the bottom of the stairs, usually behind it is a cellar, used to store wine or food. When he searched the manor just now, he didn't notice the door and ignored it.
Now, he found a faint light from the crack of the door. It was very faint. If it weren't for the eyes of the soul, it would probably not be noticed.
"Is there someone behind the door?"
Ryan was taken aback, and immediately threw down his purse, aimed his gun at the small door, and stepped back step by step to seize the most advantageous position.
However, he waited for a long time, and there was no movement behind the door.
But there is still dim light coming out from time to time, but there is no sound.
"No one? Or something else?"
Ren decided to find out.
He fumbled carefully on the door a few times, and found that the door was unlocked, and opened it with a hard push. Behind the door is a step that leads to the underground. On the wall is a dim kerosene lamp. Because the wick is too short, it will go out, and the flame will shake from time to time.
Rehn scanned the passage carefully several times, and found no organs or the like, so he walked slowly down lightly.
There was a corner under the steps. When Renne passed the corner, he was immediately stunned by the sight in front of him.
This is a gloomy basement. The four walls are made of stones, and the whole is rectangular, with a half-meter-high diamond-shaped altar in the middle.
A corpse was lying on the altar. His stomach was broken. All the internal organs were taken out and placed on the edge of the altar. The limbs were also dismembered and stacked together in a weird form. The head of the corpse is still there, but the scalp has been stripped off, and the flesh on the face is clean, revealing the white bones, leaving only the skull connected to the body.
On the chest of the corpse, there is an open book.
Except for this corpse, the basement is littered with skulls, and the corners are full of bones.
The ground was stained black with blood, and the whole basement was filled with gusts of wind and horrible howls that echoed from time to time. I don't know how many people were killed here and regarded as sacrifices.
"Altar of the Cthulhu!"
Renn had never seen such a scene before, and his scalp numb for a while.
The blood on the altar hadn't dried up yet. He finally knew what Asperger and Ramsey had done in the manor before. It turned out to be a sacrifice ceremony for the evil god.
"The rumors are true, the Shadow Blade Killer really believes in the evil god."
Reyne muttered to himself, but he didn't know which evil **** Shadow Blade believed in. This evil **** seemed to be a taboo in the empire. Ordinary people knew nothing about him and had never heard of him before.
"of course it's true."
A voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Ren was frightened by the sudden sound. In the corner of his eyes, he saw a shadow approaching him from behind. He didn't even think about it, turning his hand back was a shot.
boom!
Gunshots exploded, echoing in the passage.
In the white smoke, dozens of small steel **** covered half of the passage, including the figure.
At this time, Ren had clearly seen the appearance of the other party, and it was Roger, the legendary demon hunter in the Basil Hotel. Roger was obviously not hostile, but he had already fired and it was too late to stop.
A layer of golden light lit up in front of Roger, like a spherical shield. The small steel ball hit it to stir up waves, and then bounced away without causing any damage.
Through the golden shield, you can see Roger's left hand forming a strange handprint.
He released his fingerprints, and the shield disappeared.
"This is the gun you made in Zoltan's workshop?" Roger looked at the shotgun in Renne's hand, with a curious look in his cat-like eyes, and admired: "The power is good, the most powerful. It’s rare that ordinary people can also use it."
"Master Roger, why are you here, that scared me."
Ryan moved his gun silently, not wanting to talk about the shotgun.
He hasn't decided whether he will promote gunpowder firearms in the future, because he doesn't know that this kind of weapon can be used by ordinary people and will threaten the extraordinary. If mass production is popularized, what impact will it have on the world.
And he doesn't understand Roger's personality and background, so he can't be too cautious.
As for calling Roger a "master", I learned this from the guests in the hotel.
Master refers not to Roger's witch hunter strength, but his card skills. He once participated in the empire's highest-level All Souls Competition and won the title of "Master".
"I'm here with you." Roger replied in a low voice, which made Renn shocked.
