Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 182 [Shedding House]

The rain quickly turned into a drizzle after the first drop of rain fell.

It didn't turn into a heavy rain in the end.

So the crowds partying on the streets did not try to avoid the sudden rain, but instead regarded it as some kind of magical gift.

It was Isis who heard their praises and sent the rain.

After all, the origin of Winster University is a maritime university, and the entire Winster is originally a fishing port. They themselves have a close connection with the goddess of the sea Isis.

And while the carnival continued, in the corners and alleys where no one was paying attention.

People are crawling out of the entrances of the sewer manhole covers that lead deep underground and connect to the entire deep underground world of Winster.

First, a hand.

A hand that looked extremely cold and damp. It was dark in color and had a sticky liquid dripping down from it.

At the same time, Anya also felt the raindrops.

She was packing up her guns on the roof of a building.

Today's plan had already been made. After sending Ethan to Winster University, she came to Holiday Sunshine to wait for an ambush.

The firearm she used was the Black Rose sniper rifle carefully crafted by Living Flame.

Even though she had practiced many times, she was still surprised by the power of the gun.

If everything is stable, this gun can even kill a level 5 True Name user.

That's right, Victor is dead.

After the first shot seriously injured Victor, he wanted to gather his men who had stood up again and stand in front of him, but they were not faster than Anya's second shot.

He was hit right in the heart again, causing dark blood to gush out. He fell to the ground and died, along with his men who had just stood up around him.

Then the rain began to fall.

The rain is making people feel uneasy.

Anya felt that she should just go back to the young master.

Everyone who was enjoying the holiday sunshine also felt uneasy.

The people of the Sun God Cult were particularly uneasy. They seemed to hate the rain, and when it fell, they immediately used their abilities to summon the sunlight to cover their bodies and block out the rain.

Then, the leader looked at Velen and said, "We have done what we should do for you. I hope your leader will keep his promise. Let's go."

Having said that, they didn't stop at all.

Velen and Vincent looked at each other without saying a word.

Everything went smoothly, mainly because the Sun God Cultists were such a strange force. They could never imagine how Ethan would end up taking advantage of these guys who were supposed to be his enemies.

"Let's go. Even though Victor is dead, those people are still a problem."

Velen shook off the rain on his body and felt uncomfortable as well, as if his joints that had been healed by Zhenming were inexplicably hurting again.

Victor is dead, and many of his men are still in the sewers.

Vincent looked up at the rain in the sky. He always felt that something was wrong with the rain.

At Winster University.

As the raindrops continued to fall, some people took out umbrellas to block the rain.

Although Osvaldo had been arrested, he was still the governor of Winchester. So out of some emotion, Ned signaled Joseph to hold an umbrella for him as well.

but……

Strange things happened.

Osvaldo blocked the umbrella and instead reached out to the sky to catch the fine raindrops, letting them soak his entire body.

"What is he doing?" Joseph was a little confused.

Is this because he knows that the situation is hopeless and has given up completely?
"Forget it, let him be."

Ned shook his head. Since Osvaldo didn't want to be decent, then let him do it.

But immediately, it was no longer a question of decency. Osvaldo stayed.

He had his eyes completely closed and his arms open, as if he was being baptized.

"Osvaldo, there's no need for this. We've worked together for many years. Does it have to be so ugly?"

Ned frowned. He had thought Osvaldo was a smart man, but now it seemed that he was not.

"No, no, no, Ned, you misunderstood. It's just that everything is over. I don't need to play this role anymore."

Osvaldo said something even stranger.

As he stopped moving forward, people from the Kingdom Statistics Bureau and the Kingdom Security Bureau surrounded him.

The rain keeps falling.

Osvaldo, however, became more relaxed.

"Call Ethan over. I want to see him. I have something to say to him."

Osvaldo is just too weird.

Joseph couldn't help but look at Ned, while Heisenberg remained silent.

"Go get Ethan."

Ned thought for a moment and then said.

They are in a very good situation now. If something happens that the consul dies before trial, it will be their fault.

Ethan was about to preside over the closing of the auction.

After all, with the climax of Osvaldo being taken away, his "Last Supper" will be sold at a sky-high price.

As a result, Joseph came back and told him that Osvaldo suddenly wanted to see him.

This made Ethan feel very strange, but he chose to go anyway.

Then, everyone in the audience walked out together.

When he walked outside, someone naturally helped Ethan hold an umbrella. He slowly pushed through the crowd and came to Osvaldo.

"Osvaldo, I'm here. What do you want to say to me?"

Osvaldo still had his back to Ethan at this moment.

The moment he heard him speak, he smiled, then slowly turned around and uttered a sentence: "Ethan, it's been... a long time."

He was clearly using Osvaldo's body, and his voice was also Osvaldo's voice, but the tone and feeling of that sentence were definitely not his!
"You are……"

Underground, at the exit of the sticky coelenteran-like passage.

A bright place.

This is a bright, sanctuary-like room.

But in a room like this, it is filled with things that are difficult to describe.

Hrosh immediately vomited.

He couldn't help it, because of the previous stench and because of the sight before him.

Right in front of him, there was a densely packed pile of...human skin?
No, it cannot be said to be human skin. It is a sticky and wet shell that looks like the shed of some marine creature.

And they all have the same face -

Osvaldo.

"What is this?"

Hrosh said, and started vomiting again.

If these are all Osvaldo, then what exactly is Osvaldo?
The shadow still didn't speak. After taking a look at the hanging corpses, his gaze penetrated through and looked into the deepest part of the temple.

There, there was a statue being enshrined, and in the bright light, Shadow could clearly see the face of the statue.

That is clearly...
