Chapter 1437 Blood Moon (seventy-six)
Old Port District, in a quiet and deserted alley.
Ronan reached out and grabbed it, and the manhole cover on the ground suddenly flew up, revealing the dark hole of the wellhead.
A foul smell rushed up.
But Ronan jumped up without any hesitation.
After his body quickly fell four to five meters, he landed next to a sewer drain filled with sludge.
The sewer system of Ceres is extremely complex. It was first built from Old Port District, and then after hundreds of years of continuous transformation and expansion, it formed the giant maze-like existence it is now.
It is said that there are nearly 100,000 servants, vagrants, beggars, and wanted criminals living underground in Ceres...
When the harsh winter arrives, this number will increase dramatically.
The so-called "subaltern people", in a large sense, represent the residents of the sewers!
For ordinary people, the underground world of the royal capital is very dangerous. Even the heavily armed police officers dare not set foot easily. The only ones who dare to go deep into it are the Night Watchman troops.
But even Ceres's powerful Night Watchman troops don't have the ability to clean up the filth and dirt in the entire underground!
In fact, many people disappear silently into the sewers every year, including some extraordinary people.
Stepping on the smelly mud, Ronan was like a stalker, walking through the long underground passage.
Those foul smells and countless flying insects were all blocked by his Protective Psionic Energy.
After sneaking like this for about ten minutes, Ronan saw a mark painted on the wall.
A mark that resembles a triangular arrow.
Following the guidance of this mark, he sneaked for a while through the complicated sewers.
Until you see another sign.
Stopping, Ronan took out the whistle given by Morpheus Mendet from his pocket, put it in his mouth and blew it.
This whistle is a bone flute, with a texture as warm as jade. It is unknown what animal bones it is made of. The sound it makes after being blown is not loud, but it is very sharp.
Three long and three short, Ronan blew three times.
Then he stood there and waited quietly.
After another ten minutes, a rustling sound came from the darkness ahead, and at the same time, tiny bits of green light emerged.
Even without any lighting tools, Ronan could see clearly that they were all mice.
A big mouse that is comparable to a cat cub!
They are rapidly approaching Ronan.
But Ronan was indifferent.
The mice stopped ten meters away from him, as if waiting for something.
After a while, a dim yellow light quietly appeared.
A thin boy carrying Horse Lantern appeared in Ronan's sight.
He walked towards Ronan very cautiously, then stopped twenty or thirty meters away, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?"
Ronan replied, "I deliver goods."
The boy asked again, "What kind of goods are you sending? Red Goods or White Goods?"
Ronan: "Blue Goods."
This inexplicable conversation is a code word, which Morpheus Mendet told Ronan before he died.
Otherwise, even if you hold the bone flute as a token, you won't be able to see Bald Idi without knowing the code word.
"Hello, sir."
The code words were all correct, and the boy with the lantern breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his guard, "Please follow me."
He turned and walked into the darkness.
The big rats around him were shouting in front of him and following behind him, closely following the thin young man.
As if the latter is their master!
Interesting.
Ronan's eyes flashed, and he took steps to follow the guide in front.
After walking in the intricate sewers for almost half an hour, taking countless forked roads, the front suddenly became clear, and a large Cave Dwelling appeared in front of him.
Similar Cave Dwelling, Ronan have been seen underground in Rand City.
It's not exactly new.
This Cave Dwelling was also built as a settlement for underground residents. Hundreds of mud houses and stone houses were densely built inside, with streets and markets, and it was quite lively.
The underground space is illuminated by luminous stones embedded in the surrounding walls.
The scientific name of this stone is White Obsidian. It has no other uses except that it can emit light. It is often used by poor people as a lighting tool, and the price is very low.
The thin boy led Ronan towards the center of Cave Dwelling. Many people greeted him warmly.
At the same time, he looked at Ronan, who was obviously an outsider, with curious eyes.
Most of these Cave Dwelling residents are dressed in rags, many of them have disheveled faces, and most of them are women and children.
Under the guidance of the thin boy, Ronan arrived in front of a tent.
The young man opened the curtain door and made a gesture to Ronan inviting him in.
Ronan strode in without hesitation.
The space inside this tent is not very large, and the furnishings are very simple. In the middle, a middle-aged man is sitting on the ground, holding a wine glass and drinking.
Balder Edie!
A name flashed in Ronan's mind instantly.
This famous wanted criminal looks to be about forty years old, with a very mature and handsome appearance, and a very sexy mustache that is obviously carefully groomed. He is the kind of rooster man who can make ladies scream.
It is said that Bald Idi once worked as a concubine when he was young, and obtained extraordinary resources through the appreciation of a noble lady.
But Ronan feels that this is most likely a malicious smear rumor.
Balder Idi's temperament is very special. As a powerful transcendent, he does not show any sharpness, giving people a gentle, elegant and heroic feeling.
And the moment Ronan stepped into the tent, Bald Idi raised his head.
His eyes were very bright. "Hello."
"Hello, Mr. Balder Edie."
Ronan sat down cross-legged opposite Bald Idi and said, "I am Deputy Chief Ronan. Raymond of Old Port District Fourth Precinct, and I have been ordered to arrest you and bring you to justice."
As soon as he finished speaking, the thin young man behind him suddenly became frightened and without thinking, he pulled out the dagger tied to his waist.
This young man never expected that he would bring enemies in!
He stared at the back of Ronan's neck, about to launch a fatal blow.
Balder Idi smiled and raised his hand to signal the young man not to act rashly, and then asked, "Where is Morpheus?"
"Dead."
Ronan replied calmly, "I killed him, and there were almost two hundred people buried with him."
Balder Idi's smile instantly froze on his face.
Of course he knew the news about Razor Gang's entire army being wiped out, but he never expected that the murderer would appear in front of him.
Morpheus Mendet is also dead!
Recalling his good friend's voice and smile, Bald Idi's eyes became extremely complicated.
"You are very strong."
