Under One Person, Engage in Black Technology

Chapter 17 Sewer Well

After rinsing his mouth with a sip of water and taking a few deep breaths, Liu Ke finally suppressed the nausea brought on by the "dog-shaped centipede". Once the nausea had completely subsided, he began to watch the four videos frame by frame.

This, uh, creature? Actually, it shouldn't be called a dog. It's more like a canine-like creature, or perhaps an 'abomination' or 'stitches' would be more appropriate.

The canine creature in the four videos is, if nothing unexpected happens, the same one. It is the one responsible for finding clues about the beggar in the cold storage and for kidnapping Guo'er.

Sniffing his nose, Liu Ke rewatched the video of the "dog-shaped centipede" and discovered that it wasn't just its four legs that were wrong. Its abdomen was also problematic, and was noticeably swollen.

Bloated? Why is it bloating?

His heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling about the cause of the swelling.
Patting his face, Liu Ke asked Heiqiang to screen according to the two images of the black Labrador and expand the camera search range from the circle around the abandoned construction site to within 8 kilometers.

After closing his eyes and resting for about five minutes, Black Wall found a clue.

During the time period he'd screened, he'd found no more 'dog centipedes,' and only a few black Labradors had appeared within the camera's field of view. Throwing aside the actual 'dogs' that had been led out of range by their owners, the number of animals that met the screening criteria was even smaller.

The black wall directly locked onto several of them, reminding Liu Ke to pay attention.

After a quick mental scan, I found that the shooting locations of these videos are different, but the content is similar.

The video shows a black dog coming out of a sewer with the manhole cover pushed against it. The black dog in the video is not covered in dirt even after coming out of the sewer.

The shooting time of one of the videos can be matched with the time when Guo'er was abducted. Although the dog's legs are normal, the abdomen is swollen like the "dog-body centipede", exactly the same.

Looking at the dog's belly, it can be said that the clue has emerged.

"Hello? What's up?"

"Yes, I haven't finished my work yet, though."

Xu Si glanced at his watch and said to the phone, "It will take another three or four minutes."

"Oh, he found it? Pretty quick."

".I see, it's pretty disgusting. Jiefang North, right? Once we're done here, we'll go over there. Oh, and where's Tu Houzi? Let him show off his skills!"

"Okay, okay, hang up."

In a village in Tianjin, at the entrance of a five- or six-story building, Xu Si lit a cigarette and leaned against a Volkswagen sedan. Behind the Volkswagen was a large express delivery truck, and several people in Nadutong uniforms were also waiting.

After taking a few puffs of cigarette, Xu Si looked at the small building next to him with strange patterns painted on the wall. There was a man named Li Sheng in the village who had got a method of Qigong from somewhere and was generous enough to teach the whole village to practice. Practicing secretly was fine, but he also wanted to cause trouble.
This matter is outrageous. When the company issued the order, it directly required a heavy-handed crackdown on it.

Feng Baobao was currently conducting an infiltration mission inside the building, aiming to break up the new gang. The villagers had only practiced for a few months, so Feng Baobao didn't need to intervene.

However, according to the latest information
Xu Si glanced up again, blew out a puff of smoke, and muttered, "The root of evil is born."

"Fourth brother, when can we go in?"

Perhaps they couldn't wait any longer, so several employees who were responsible for finishing the work asked Xu Si.

Xu Si rubbed his eyes and said, "Why rush? There's another game soon. I tell you, take a few more breaths of fresh air and cherish what you have."

"What kind of environment? It's not Fourth Brother, what does it mean?"

Xu Si suddenly laughed maliciously and didn't reply. At this moment, a loud bang came from the rooftop, and a person was kicked out, fell to the ground, and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Hey, you're not dead."

Xu Si pulled the photo out of his trouser pocket, compared it, and said, "Mr. Li, ah. That's not right. According to your country's name, we should call you 'Emperor of Tang', right? But I'm sorry, we don't have diplomatic relations with you."

He waved his hand, and the company employees behind him immediately came over and gave Mr. Li an injection on his Du meridian, then tied him up and threw him into the cargo hold of the courier truck. After leaving someone to watch over him, they all went into the building to clean up the mess.

Xu Si figured that everything was done, so he picked up his phone and called Feng Baobao.

"Hey, baby, are you done in there?"

"The guy who fired the gun has found someone from the Beggars' Sect. Dad, let him get some medical treatment. The two of us will go and provide reinforcements first."

"No, let's go back to the company first and get some chemical protective clothing. And a few more masks."

--------

Liu Ke called the company and sent his location as a backup plan. If he got hurt, he could slow down and wait for someone to come.

It is actually very stupid to act rashly and put yourself in danger.

But
Thinking of the abducted little girl, Liu Ke could only comfort himself and regard this stupidity as involuntary.

Although according to Old Ning, Guo'er was fine for the time being, one couldn't gamble with one's life, especially when the initiative was still in the hands of those evil people. Besides, people also said that the Beggars' Sect was a bit weird and weak in combat.

Then...it should be no problem for him to investigate on his own, right?
After jogging for a while, Liu Ke arrived at a manhole cover, which was also one of the "doors" for the black dog to enter and exit the sewer.

As we all know, sewer pipes are usually very narrow and filled with feces and urine, which is very stinking. No matter how agile the dog is, it is impossible to get in and out of them without getting a single leaf on it.

To be honest, Liu Ke was quite curious about how the "dog-bodied centipede" managed to get out of the pipe so cleanly.

Moreover, this manhole cover is not common. There is no marking on the surface, and there is not even a drainage hole. I don’t know which management it belongs to.

Liu Ke stared at the manhole cover for a while, sighed, stroked his face with his hand, and used the superpowers of Compound No. 5 to project a breathing mask and put it on his face.

Then his right hand projected a T-shaped hook, the kind of long hook specially used to hook manhole covers.

He took a hook and put it through the raised ring on the manhole cover, and with a lift and a pull, the manhole cover lifted up slightly.

He kicked the manhole cover again, and then he exerted more strength in his hands and lifted the manhole cover directly.

He tentatively peered inside. There wasn't a speck of dirt or water; it was perfectly dry. Even when he lifted his mask slightly, he couldn't detect a single foul odor. A steel ladder was embedded in the shaft's wall, making it easy to descend.

He projected an old-fashioned lighter, took a tissue from his trouser pocket, and hung it on the T-hook.

He lit the tissue with a lighter, took two steps back, and used a hook to pass the burning tissue over the well several times.

Sure enough, there was no stench and no explosion, which also meant there was no methane, so I could use the gun later.

But if it’s so clean, how can it be called a sewer?
