ghost world

Chapter 17

Mammon drove the carriage around the city again and again.

"Is someone following you?" Metatron asked from the car.

"I don't know." Mamen paused, "Probably not."

"Then when are we going to find Hippe?"

Mamen's voice was slightly uncomfortable, "I'm looking for it."

Metatron remained silent until he passed the two-meter-high statue fountain for the sixth time and said, "Ask for directions."

"……it is good."

The law and order in the main city is very good.At least when Mamen asked for directions, the other party pointed the way to him readily, without any suspicion that he had any evil intentions, and he didn't ask why he didn't even know where the city owner was while he lived in the main city.

By the time the carriage arrived at the gate of the villa where the city lord lived, it was already dark.The moon hung alone in the sky, small and dim.

Metatron and Mammon get out of the car.

The car was thrown on the side of the road regardless of it.

Mamen asked, "How do we get in?"

Metatron looked at the empty doorway and said, "Go in."

Mamen immediately understood what he meant, and said, "It's not like there are no guards here, is it?"

Sure enough not.And the way is easy to find, there is only one staircase.

Mammon and Metatron found the third floor from the first floor, but there was no one there.

Mamen said: "Austerity in personnel expenses is a good way to save money." Seeing Metatron looking at him, he explained, "Ever since the minimum wage limit and various statutory welfare guarantees, employees have become a bloated expense. "

"What about before there was no minimum wage and no statutory benefits?" Metatron asked.

"I mainly make sure they don't starve to death."

In fact, it doesn't matter if you starve to death, and burying the body won't waste him much money.Thinking of this, he secretly sighed.At the beginning, Hell was built with the idea of ​​a temporary base, and other races were used as slaves. Unexpectedly, this temporary period lasted for tens of thousands of years.Up to now, even if they really defeated the angels and seized heaven, most of the fallen angels would probably not want to go back, right?

I don't know since when, he has already regarded that place where the sun is out of sight as his home.Therefore, Lucifer began to introduce various decrees one after another to let Hell cultivate and recuperate, protect other races, and ensure the future prosperity of Hell.

Perhaps, from the moment they fell into heaven, heaven and them are already two worlds.

In the darkness, footsteps came from downstairs.

Mammon frowned and said, "The footsteps sound familiar."

Metatron said: "We don't have any acquaintances here, the only ones who will appear here at this time..."

"Baird."

As soon as Mammon finished speaking, Baird had already appeared at the stairs.

He couldn't help being surprised when he saw Metatron, "What are you doing here?"

His words conveyed at least one message, Julian did not tell Hibbe about their affairs.Although he was a little curious about the reason, he didn't allow him to think about it at this time.

Metatron said: "I want to see the Santo."

"Meet the city lord?" Baird looked at him suspiciously, "What do you do when you see the city lord?"

Metatron said, "I have something to ask him."

"What's the matter?" Baird seemed to break the casserole and ask the bottom line.

Metatron didn't care about his aggressiveness, and said softly, "It's a private matter."

Baird said: "The city lord never sees guests at night, if you want to see him, come back tomorrow."

Metatron and Mammon were taken aback.I thought meeting Xi Pei was not an easy task, but now listening to his tone, it couldn't be easier.

Seeing that he was still stuck in place, Baird said, "If you tell me what's the matter, I can ask for instructions for you." He remembered that Metatron and Julian had a very close relationship, and he didn't want to get into trouble with Julian , so the tone eased down.

Metatron was about to answer when Mammon suddenly gave him a rose carved from natural jade.Because the corridor was dimly lit, and Metatron turned slightly sideways when receiving the flowers, Baird didn't see the flowers appearing out of thin air.

Metatron handed the flower to Baird and said, "This is a gift that Lord Julian asked me to give to the Santo, please give it to the Santo personally."

Baird took the flowers, a look of surprise and greed flashed in his eyes, but he quickly restrained himself and said, "Didn't you talk about private matters?"

"It's a personal matter because I admire the city lord very much, so I want a piece of his autograph. But if the city lord doesn't see any guests at night, forget it." Metatron's face was hidden in the dark, so he couldn't see clearly, but his voice was Sincerely, "Master Julian asked me to send the flowers, and there should be no delay. Please, Mr. Baird, hand over the flowers to the city lord."

Although Baird didn't know why Julian eagerly sent such a rose at night, but since the other party said so, he couldn't ask again, "Okay, I understand. You go back."

Metatron nodded, turned and walked downstairs without hesitation.

Baird followed him and didn't turn back until he was out the gate.

However, as soon as he turned around, Metatron walked into the invisible barrier and followed him side by side with Mammon.

Baird held the flowers and watched them under the light for a long time. Even Mammon couldn't help laughing with those intoxicated eyes.

"It's a good thing you said that Julian gave it to Hippe, otherwise he would have kept it for himself." Regarding greed, Mammon has the most say.

Metatron looked at him sideways, "Send it away, don't you feel bad?"

Mamen said to himself: "It's mine, it's mine." If you dare to take one of his jade flowers, you must be prepared to lose your wealth.

Baird watched it for a full hour before reluctantly taking steps and pushing open the door at the bottom of the corridor on the first floor.

Mamen said, "We've been there before."

"I'm sure it's empty," Metatron said.

They entered the room, which was still empty.

Baird stood on the wall directly opposite the door, mumbling a series of words, the wall suddenly disappeared, revealing a dark passage.

Mamen raised her eyebrows and said, "So it's the basement."

They followed Baird down.

The basement looked very flat, with smooth stone slabs similar to tiles under the feet, and a row of lights on both sides.

Baird walked very cautiously.

After walking about two floors above the usual building, he finally stopped, stood in front of a huge mirror, held flowers in both hands, took a deep breath, and slowly walked through the mirror.

"The people who built the secret room are very careful." Mamen said, "The mirror is used to guard against stalkers."

Metatron said: "And this passage is used to guard against invisibility."

Mamen said, "So we have to use the second method."

Metatron blinked.He and Mamen suddenly stood in a passage about six meters high.

For fallen angels and angels, teleportation is trivial.

"Who?" came a low voice from the end of the passage.

Baird just walked to the end, and hurriedly said: "My lord, it's me."

The voice said coldly: "Who else is there besides you?"

Mammon and Metatron shuddered at the same time.The speed of teleportation is extremely fast, unexpectedly, the other party still sensed it.

Baird stared blankly at the empty passage behind him, and said blankly, "No more."

The voice was silent for a while before he let go and said, "Come in."

"Yes." Baird lowered his head and walked forward awkwardly.

Mammon and Metatron quietly followed behind.At the end of the passage is an extremely spacious stone room. A thin and handsome man with a slightly sickly pale face stands in the center. There are no wings behind him.

Mammon felt Metatron's footsteps pause slightly, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"His appearance..." Metatron seemed to have touched the ancient memory, "it's very similar to Shipley."

"Like it?" Mamen said, "He's an angel with wings."

Metatron said, "Shipley is a seraph."

"But I can't feel his wings," Mammon added.

Metatron stared at Hippe for a long while before saying, "His wings are broken."

Although Mammon had already guessed the answer, but hearing it with her own ears, she still frowned.Even if there is a battle between angels and fallen angels, no angel or fallen angel will cut off each other's wings, because wings are not only a part of the body for angels, but also a symbol of glory.

What happened to make his wings break?

Hippe didn't know that there were two visitors from other worlds commenting on him.He looked at Baird coldly and said, "I said that I don't want to be disturbed by anything at night."

Baird held the jade flower in his hands and handed it to Hippe, "Master Julian sent someone to deliver it overnight."

"Him?" Hippe was quite surprised.He raised his hand to take Yuhua, looked at it over and over for a long time, "Where did he get it?"

"I do not know."

Hippe said, "Then what else did he say?"

Baird said, "I didn't say anything."

Xi Pei frowned and said after a while, "I received it, you can go to the warehouse tomorrow to find a decent gift in return."

"Yes." Baird glanced at Yuhua reluctantly, turned and left.

Metatron was hesitating whether to go together, when Mammon said in shock: "Look there." He followed Mammon's gaze, and then froze.

In the innermost part of the stone chamber is a stone pillar connected to the ceiling. An angel is locked on the pillar with an iron chain. The black wings almost blend with the color of the wall. That face is familiar to Mammon and Metatron. Can not be more familiar.

"Levitan?"
