Chapter 411 Blood Source

Jacob slid down the rope, and when the rope ran out of length, he gently swung to the railing on one side, turned over and jumped into the corridor.

He was close to the masonry wall and heard hurried footsteps coming from the corridor stairs. It sounded like there were about ten people.

Jacob approached a door next to him and gently turned the handle. It was not locked. He took out a throwing knife, opened the door a crack, slid in, and quickly closed the door.

The guards outside ran through the corridor with crossbows, and no one noticed that there was an intruder on this floor.

Jacob flashed into the door and raised the throwing knife in his hand to be alert. He saw that this was a laboratory. There was no one in the room. There was a small kerosene lamp hanging on the wall, and many glassware were placed on the table.

He approached the vessels and looked carefully, guessing that the red liquid inside was all blood.

He smelled a bad smell of corruption, and couldn't help but cover his nose and resist the urge to cough. After searching the room for a while, he didn't find anything useful.

Jacob came to another door in the house. It was obviously a connecting room, and the rooms were connected from the inside.

He heard movement behind the door, so he gently turned the doorknob and peeked into the other room through the crack of the door.

Jacob saw an old man in a white church robe talking to three men in black suits.

The face of the old man in the white robe looked shriveled and dry under the kerosene lamp, like a mummy that had been dead for a long time but could still stand and talk.

"This batch of new blood is not enough." The old man said.

"We are... trying to find a new source of blood, Master William. A few days ago, we bought more than a dozen child workers from the ironworks." The man in the suit replied, his tone a little nervous.

"Have you been to the orphanage?" The old man called Master William pinched his chin and asked.

Jacob held his breath, and his expression became nervous. The group of children he was looking for was here.

"The children in the orphanage are related to the Philip family, and we don't want to be exposed..." The man in the suit said cautiously.

"Well... I know, they have been doing that business, which is why they always have new girls... but I don't care." Master William said.

"What if they find out about our research?" asked the man in the suit.

"Then let them see the real horror." Master William said.

The three men in suits looked at each other, their expressions a little dull.

"Rats came into the sewer, and I heard the riot was still going on." Master William changed the subject.

"The intruders are not ordinary, they are not drunkards and homeless people, but they are more like well prepared." The man in the suit explained.

"Could it be organized by the keeper?" Master William asked.

"I don't know, we should not have alarmed them... I have arranged more mothers to go to the sewer, and he will never leave alive." The man in the suit assured.

"If the intruder is really sent by the keeper, I will let Florence deal with him." Master William said, turning around and preparing to leave.

"Master William, we will continue to look for new blood sources." The three men in suits bowed slightly to Master William.

"Well... I will go to the sanatorium on the south bank... After all, there are more and more rats here..." Master William said, and then glanced at Jacob.

Jacob was stared at by this look, and he was so scared that he quickly closed the door and took out his revolver. However, Master William ignored him and slowly walked out of the house.

Chen Ke, who was being attacked by a large group of monsters, struggled hard, and his black knight armor instantly wrapped his body.

The black knight armor exuded high temperature, turning from black to dark red, then to red, and then burst into a hot flame explosion.

This is the unique ability of Angele's Elegy Armor, but for Chen Ke who has Angele's Ashes, it is not very useful. Instead, the "fire immunity" feature is more useful.

The flame explosion burned all the monsters holding Chen Ke into black jerky, and the air was suddenly filled with an unpleasant burnt smell.

But Chen Ke did not stop. Then, he stretched out his right hand and shook off the white ashes, causing the temperature around him to rise suddenly to 1000 degrees.

This temperature made the sewage under his feet boil, and the monsters around him shrank one by one due to the high temperature. They made a "chi chi chi" sound and drilled into the water. Some monsters had open flames behind them.

The high temperature was transmitted along the drainage pipes, producing an explosive effect in the semi-enclosed space. The manhole cover above Chen Ke's head flew into the sky with a bang because of thermal expansion and contraction.

Not only that, the grease on the wall that had not been cleaned for thousands of years was also burned brittle by the high temperature, and fell off in large pieces.

"Why is it so hot suddenly?" Some pedestrians on the street wondered.

Of course, they didn't know that there was a psychic under their feet.

Chen Ke did not release high temperature again, but it would take some time for the temperature to dissipate. He stepped into the water in a knight's armor and looked at the monster wreckage on the ground. At this time, Xu Jing walked in from the passage behind him.

"I'm glad you're not dead yet. I made a mistake just now." Xu Jing said.

She changed into a new outfit, still in the style of the 19th century, but this time in red.

"Aren't you infected by the meme? Can you cure it so quickly?" Chen Ke looked at Xu Jing and removed his armor.

"I... uh..." Xu Jing looked at Chen Ke with a smile on her face.

Chen Ke was caught by the monster just now and his clothes were in disarray. His shirt and windbreaker were torn to pieces, and his chest and abdomen were exposed.

"Is it even now? You missed the most exciting part." Chen Ke lowered his head and tidied his clothes.

He touched the bullet holes on his abdominal muscles and wondered, since the life countdown can consume life to heal all injuries, and even regenerate limbs, why can't Lin Mo's old injuries be restored at the same time?

Xu Jing knew what Chen Ke meant. In the cafe, he had also accidentally seen his body.

"When this matter is done, you can talk to me alone... I know there is a hotel here. The double room has a floor-to-ceiling window facing the Thames..." Xu Jing smiled.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Chen Ke reminded.

"Are you talking about memes? Have you forgotten? I am dead in this reality." Xu Jing said.

"Can it be like this?" Chen Ke snorted.

"Your three friends are still receiving treatment at the foundation. Generally speaking, it takes at least four months to recover." Xu Jing said.

"Sam...will you let them come back after they are cured?" Chen Ke asked.

"Of course, if you want, we will erase their memories of entering the Foundation and 2006, and then release them back to 2009." Xu Jing said.

Chen Ke nodded, although this also meant that Sam and the others would no longer recognize him.

"Let's get on with the business at hand, Chen Ke, I think we have already alerted the enemy." Xu Jing took out his advanced pistol and walked to Chen Ke.

"You mean...no need to hide anymore?" Chen Ke asked.

"Kill everyone who sees us, don't leave any alive." Xu Jing nodded.

"Go find Jacob first, and then see what's under here." Chen Ke said.

He took a deep breath, put on the full set of black knight armor again, then carried the moonlight sword on his shoulder, and walked towards the depths of the dark corridor with clanging steps.
