Chapter 26 Cisse River
Nine o'clock in the evening.
It seemed very ordinary night, and some light rain began to rain. People were moving forward in the rain, some were carrying umbrellas, some were hiding under the eaves, and traditional horse riding deer passengers shuttled through the city's tall buildings with traffic.
A woman with a white lace hat looked up at the sky, and her blue pupils revealed panic, because she saw someone walking in the sky, which was Aeros step by step along the rain curtain.
It was obvious that he did not speed up his walking speed in the sky because of Schalt's escape. He walked out of his own rhythm steadily and slowly landed from the high altitude step by step.
It is still on the side of the Sisai River. Airos stepped on the paved blue bricks and stones by the river and observed the situation in the Sisai River along the river bank.
Just now, in his sight, Schalt rushed into the water from the sky in his black robe and disappeared. This short pursuit also stopped using Schalt's fall into the water as the termination sign.
Elos did not rashly follow Schalt into the water. Whether from Dick's mouth or from official documents, the weirdness under the water was revealed. Faced with the unknown that he could not cope with, Elos always maintained restraint and cautious.
Walking along the guardrail carved by the stones by the river and walking under the street lights, Ailos carefully checked the river water, the vast surface of the Sisai River, quiet and peaceful. This river flowing down from the top of the mountain preserves countless secrets from the past.
Like Ailos, there are many people walking on the river bank, but because the raindrops are getting bigger, these people on the river bank slowly move away from the river bank and head in the direction of their homes.
Then he walked to the next street light and walked towards Elos with a man holding a black umbrella with his left hand. The man was not surprisingly dressed, a very normal leather windbreaker, gray striped pants, and a pair of leather boots. However, the man was carrying a lantern in his right hand, radiating a dark green light.
"Can you borrow a fire by passing by?"
The man's face was covered by an umbrella, and the rain fell little by little along the surface of the umbrella. Alos could not tell whether he was a man or a woman in the shadow of the umbrella.
"Sorry, there is no fire."
Elos was still caring about Schalt's affairs and had no time to pay attention to the weirdo's request. He just answered quickly.
"That's a pity, you may not be able to find the person you are looking for."
This man's words made Elos quickly react, and his expression on his eyes also changed.
"Do you want to light a cigarette if you borrow a fire?"
"Of course." He had spontaneously taken out the cigarette box and took out a cigarette.
Elos moved his fingers slightly, and the cigarette was lit. The man in the leather windbreaker sucked out a cigarette ring with satisfaction.
"Shouldn't you introduce yourself first?" Elos asked.
"My name is Ritchie, and I'm a supernatural detective."
"Is this an extraordinary profession?"
"It's just a personal hobby."
"You just said, can you help me find the person I'm looking for?"
"I didn't say that. I can just give you a little help. Have you seen any meaningful information from the current river?" Ritchie took another deep breath of cigarette.
"No."
"Then, let's take a look."
Ritchie lifted the green lantern in his hand over the fence of the river bank and landed on the edge of the river. The green light reflected in the water, and the dim halo gradually spread into a grand aperture, illuminating a river along the coast.
In this world shining with green light, this originally quiet and peaceful river surface begins to show its original true appearance.
In the river, there are a large number of floating black hairsprings, which look like hair and some irregular substance.
Following these black gossips, and then you can see that there is a moving blurred shadow under the river. The green light can only illuminate a little bit of the blurred shadow. Airos tried hard to distinguish for a while and found that it was not a shadow, but a monster with a huge body.
The total length of the monster was completely unsure of the range of light. Ailos could only see a trace of it extending. It was unknown whether it was its tentacles or fins, which had completely occupied the entire area.
The shock brought by the monster was temporarily suppressed, and Elos looked further away. It was the edge of green light, and some more strange changes appeared on the edge of unknown edge.
Between the waves of the river, human faces are sometimes clear and sometimes blurred, because the distance is relatively far away, and the green light at the edges is indeed more blurry, and Alos can't see the expressions on these people's faces clearly, but based on common sense, this expression should not look very good.
After Alos finished watching all this, Ricci had finished smoking a cigarette. He threw the cigarette butts into the terrifying and gloomy river, turned around and continued to preach to Alos.
"This is what is called fluid space, and this river is the hidden place of these broken space holes."
If the space in the present world is damaged, holes will be created. These holes will be connected to other lower-level or higher-level planes, allowing some bad things to come to the present world through the holes.
These broken holes will spontaneously produce a fluidity effect, that is, these space holes will change positions with moving objects in the present world. These objects or natural phenomena locked by space holes can be wind, rolling stones, flying birds or clouds.
According to Ritchie, this river called Sisse carries a large number of space holes. They flow with the flow of the river, constantly bringing monsters into the world.
"So you think Schalt is hiding in these holes in space?" Elos preached.
Although Ricci did not mention the part about Schalt, Elos almost guessed that this man came to him because of Schalt's water.
"That's right."
"So how should I find him? Or catch him?"
"You want to kill him." Ricci stood a little closer to Elros, with a wide umbrella blocking both of them.
"It can be said that too." Ailos held the shotgun in one hand.
"There is no way, only he can go to that place. If you go down, you can only contact the river water and the ensuing spiritual pollution. You can't go to the 'deep world' in the river at all."
"Then you come here and just want to tell me this."
"Of course not. Since you can't walk in the main entrance, do you want to try the side door?"
Ritchie gently placed his green lantern on the ground, and then took out a pack of unknown objects wrapped in paper from his leather windbreaker.
The paper ball is round, but I don't know what is inside.
"This is......."
"Bail, you probably saw that big monster just now. It is a space swimming fish. If it weren't for this bait, it wouldn't have broken through the power of the water."
"That's a big guy, what does this side door have to do with it?"
"Are you ready?"
Ritchie opened the ball of paper wrapped in the bait, revealing a ball of sticky glue that stirred together, and could not tell what was made of.
Elos did not reply to Ricci. He changed to a strange look and stared at Ricci. The message revealed in his eyes was, what am I ready for.
"When I put the bait into the river, the space swimming fish will jump out. You can jump into the mouth of the space swimming fish at this moment and enter the flowing space to chase Schalt."
“Is the risk controllable?”
"If this kind of thing always takes a certain risk, but I will provide you with some help. After you enter the mouth of the fish in the space, you can carry this so that I can confirm your..." Ritchie was not finished yet.
In fact, Elos was almost laughing out loud at this moment. He originally thought that this man was a little smart, but he didn't expect that he could be so stupid.
"Do you think I will go down?" Elos asked back.
Ritchie was stunned by this question, "Ah?"
I have told you so much about feelings along the way. You don’t want to continue. Didn’t you hate Schalt so much that you chased him to the ends of the world?
"Okay, thank you for your popular science. Don't look so urgent next time you disguise yourself as a mysterious and enthusiastic person." Elos patted Ricci's shoulder, then turned around and walked into the rain without any delay.
He had no interest in understanding why Ritchie was here, what his purpose was, and he had done everything he should have done, which was also a reward for Dick's last account.
Since Schalt escaped into that extremely vicious land, Alos had no reason to pursue it. Killing is something he can do. Exploring the mystery and uncovering the veil of the unknown is not something he can do.
Elos had enough trouble. The mysterious ghosts were tangled around him throughout his life. If he touched these things again, he might have been really disabled and crazy.
When I went to the casino building, there was already a mess inside, but no one reported to the Supervisory Bureau to deal with the incident. I just let the crowd run away in scattered places, screaming mixed in the rain, making it noisy and blurry.
In the mixed crowd, Airos quickly found his motorcycle, activated the fuel valve, and drove along Jordan Ling Avenue towards the bridge.
In the rain, Elos looked up at the stars in the sky.
Alas, it was another tired day.
