Chapter 283 Descendants of the Priest
After nightfall.
Milo squatted on the second floor of an uninhabited building.
The law enforcement officer's black uniform provided him with perfect cover. His entire body was hidden in the shadows. Coupled with the lingering haze of Nanwei City at night, no one could detect the abandoned city. There is a law enforcement officer with a loaded gun hiding on the floor.
During the day, Milo had already learned the route from the south city law enforcement station to the northern mental hospital in advance.
They had notified the hospital in advance, saying that the patients being escorted this time were highly dangerous and had strong violent tendencies, and the documents produced by the court also emphasized this point, so the hospital had to send carriages to escort them.
The most convenient route for carriages to travel through is the area where Milo is currently guarding.
Milo has already made plans.
This is an excellent place for assassins to attack. If they can bear not to attack here, Milo can also go around the alleys in the city and follow the carriage at a controlled distance.
And earlier, Law Enforcement Officer Butch also followed Milo's instructions and rejected the hospital's proposal to send additional law enforcement officers to cooperate with the escort, saying that the office was busy and could not spare manpower.
Anyway, the two groups argued loudly at the door of the law enforcement station for a while.
Pedestrians on the road can even hear it clearly.
The assassins must also know this information, as long as they are a little careful.
……
GuluGulu……
The sound of carriage wheels rolling on the uneven stone streets soon came.
Milo crouched on the second floor, staring at the shadow of the carriage passing slowly on the street.
He made a gesture.
The 7-person group of Shadow of Exile quickly dispersed to every corner of the street.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the main character to appear.
The car carried a total of three staff from the mental hospital and a groom.
David Derby, who was judged to be a mentally ill prisoner, was covered with chains and shackles, and his face was covered with an anti-bite mask.
He has been calm since the end of yesterday's interrogation.
It was so calm that it was a bit scary.
His eyes slid over every law enforcement officer who passed by him, and he did not show excessive hostility. It was completely different from the emotion he had when he was first escorted to the law enforcement station. Be calm and composed.
He is Ephraim White.
An old monster has been hiding in the body of his biological daughter for more than ten years.
His own grave has been erected on the outskirts of the city near the coastline for many years, but he lives in a young body.
After a long wait, he finally found an excellent target for plunder.
But plundering cannot be accomplished overnight. He needs to adapt to this new body through countless attempts.
In order to survive longer, Old White has a lot of patience.
The only regret is that when the last plundering magic was released, David muttered his son-in-law's desire to survive, and David rose up to resist and killed Asenath's body.
Fortunately, everything was just a near miss, and in the end he still took over David's body.
This young body is enough for him to extend his life for fifty years or more, but if he has to stay in that disgusting mental ward for the rest of his life, he will be forcibly injected and fed every day. The medicine will greatly shorten his lifespan, and it will also prevent him from calming down to continue studying the mysteries of those ancient spells.
So Old White must escape.
He must get out of this predicament as soon as possible. Otherwise, all the efforts of the past ten years will be in vain.
......
His eyes were always fixed on the hospital worker sitting opposite him in the carriage, who was already staring at him and felt terrified. , not even daring to make eye contact with him.
But Old White knew how to be patient. He was always listening to the sounds coming from outside the carriage. He was very satisfied with David's sensitive senses. He could clearly hear the sparse voices of passers-by on both sides of the road. From the sounds of conversation and even the sound of the carriage wheels rubbing against the road, one could tell where one was in the city at the moment.
He was waiting, waiting for an opportunity where no one was around.
Those stupid law enforcement officials only regarded him as an injured scholar. They foolishly believed that David was a useless waste. They should never think so, haha...
...
Something of the ancient horror still rots and thrives in uninhabited corners, kept alive by a small group of terrifying priests.
The White family are the descendants of those priests.
What Old White has learned from those weird spells passed down from generation to generation in his family is not just the magic of robbing souls. This is just a way for him to make up for his dull mind and gain as much time as possible for research. .
Having lived in a place like the small town of Innsmouth that has been full of haze since ancient times, he naturally understands that if you want to live a long time, you cannot just rely on life span. Sometimes, some necessary violent means It must also be mastered to deal with some extreme emergencies.
For example, right now...
...
When the carriage reaches the middle of the street that has not yet been lit by the lamplighter.
Suddenly there was a crisp sound of metal breaking in the car.
“Bang!”
The next moment, the staff screamed.
With the violent impact, a hole was cut in the wooden carriage at the rear.
The horses screamed and neighed, raising their front hooves high.
Then, a shadow with a broken chain on its body came out of the hole and ran towards the side of the street.
The broken ends of the chains hanging on his body were still red-hot, as if they had just been pulled out of a high-temperature forge.
Of course this person is David.
......
The staff of the mental hospital shouted loudly and chased after David, trying to catch David.
But David just raised his hand and flipped everyone several meters away. Those unlucky guys rolled on the floor several times and could no longer get up.
And David moved extremely fast, disappearing into the dark alley in almost the blink of an eye.
......
"Yo - this old guy still has something."
Milo witnessed all this on the second floor.
He didn't expect that Ephraim, who had taken over David's body, had such a skill.
However, it is more convenient this way. Milo was originally worried that the assassin would suddenly take action and accidentally injure the mental hospital workers on the carriage. Now Ephraim ran away on his own. , naturally that situation does not exist.
Milo quickly climbed out of the back window of the cabin.
At the same time, the shadows guarding stations in various directions on the street quickly followed Milo's pace.
