Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 49: Destroy ghosts

   Jack's words awakened Lawrence from thinking, and then looked at the place where Jack's fingers were. What appeared in his eyes was a dilapidated residential building, and the place Jack was pointing was one of those small buildings.

   This is a small red brick building on the side of a road with potholes, sewage and garbage on the floor, which looks very cramped, and the two small buildings of almost the same length on the left and right are next to each other. The mottled and mossy walls, the doors and windows filled with wooden planks, and the rusty outdoor fire ladder all explain the decline here.

  The most striking thing is that red paint is used to paint a spindle on the walls of nearby buildings, which means that this area belongs to the Spindle Gang.

"Well, you can wait for me here, or you can leave by yourself." Lawrence knew that Jack was really not suitable to move forward at this time, so he let him leave here first, and he slowly moved towards the building with a vigilant look. Go in the direction of the building.

   Maybe because there is really no oil or water in this place and there are undead in the room, Lawrence did not find any traces of human activity nearby.

   After walking along the wall to the gate, Lawrence drew a revolver full of exorcism bullets from his arms and held it in his left hand, then tried to push the front door of the room with his right hand.

   As expected, the group did not forget to lock the door before leaving. Lawrence, who was unable to push the door open twice, gave up his plan to break in and climbed upstairs along the fire ladder.

   Although the stairs were badly damaged by rust, Lawrence managed to get to the top of the building smoothly. Then he smashed the somewhat broken wooden door on the roof and entered the building.

   The room is very dim, only the light from the cracks in the wooden boards nailed to the window forms a beam of light in the dust floating in the air and barely illuminates the surrounding environment. After taking a closer look at the surrounding environment, Lawrence cast a [Detect Undead].

   A special energy was emitted from his fingers, and then Lawrence wiggled his fingers as if holding a flashlight, so that the energy could be scanned to every corner of the building as much as possible.

   "Found it." After dozens of seconds, Lawrence saw a dim light appearing in a house on the third floor. After seeing this, he immediately rushed down the stairs in three and two steps.

   When he descended the dilapidated stairs to the third floor, a translucent and indistinct object floated out of the wall. Lawrence could see that what floated out maintained a human form, but it was vague, like a cloud of mist. However, the gray mist as dark clouds shows that it is not as harmless as the report said.

   After discovering Lawrence, the ghost of the middle-aged man who looked like a wet opened his mouth, and when he saw it, he leaned to one side, then raised his arms and aimed at the ghost.

  In an instant, a screaming sound like scratching glass erupted from the dead soul's mouth. However, Lawrence had successfully avoided the front of the ghost at this time, and at the same time, the [Protection from Evil] added to himself after detecting it had an effect.

   While a cold wind was blowing from the side, the pistol held in Lawrence's right hand continuously shot silver exorcism bullets at the shadow floating in the air, and the left hand also released the magic of "Strike the Undead".

  In an instant, the ghost's chest exploded with three white light marks, and at the same time, half of the head hit by the magic of [Breaking the Undead] turned into white light and disappeared completely. "

   "Squeak--" After a scream, the ghost immediately spun wildly in place. Lawrence saw that the wounds on its body not only did not heal, but they were getting bigger and bigger.

   The deadly weakness of undead creatures is not necessarily where they were in their lifetime, but the new undead often habitually place their deadly point in the same place as before. Therefore, the newly born ghost in front of him suffered fatal damage as soon as half of its head was bombarded by Lawrence's magic.

   In just a few seconds, this ghost completely turned into nothingness. Then a few wisps of gray mist were sucked in by the Bai Ze phantom in Lawrence's mind.

   It’s just that this ghost is not as powerful as the last monster, so Lawrence didn’t notice any more changes except that the source of magic power was slightly stronger than before.

   "How can the magic limit be increased every time a monster is killed?" Lawrence laughed at his greed, then bent down and collected the spoils.

   After the ghost disappeared, a small amount of transparent sand was left on the ground. Lawrence took out a crystal bottle and cautiously put the gravel that gave off a bitter chill like ice into the crystal bottle.

   "Good luck, this time I harvested at least ten grams of ghost dust, and the quality is very good..." After putting the transparent gravel on the ground into the bottle, Lawrence looked at the sunlight through the window. "It is a good choice whether you use it yourself or sell it to the church."

   After collecting the spoils, Lawrence began to carefully inspect the house. With the help of the spell [Detect Magic], he quickly discovered that there were two places in the entire building emitting magical auras.

   One of them is in a room on the second floor that is more luxurious than all other rooms in this building~www.wuxiahere.com~ After entering the door, according to the judgment of the surrounding decoration, Lawrence felt that this should be the place where the gang leader lived in the past.

   Following the guidance of the magical light, he came to the closet with the door open, and after taking a closer look, he used a knife he carried to pry open the back panel on the side of the closet against the wall.

   After a jingle, a lot of mess fell from the hole in the wall covered by this backboard onto the wooden board under the cabinet.

   "Let me see, this is—" Lawrence counted with the dim light outside the window. "Banknotes, coins, two gold rings, and a gold necklace with sapphires and sapphires with a simple self-purification enchantment. It's no wonder that there is magical aura here just now—"

   "Hey, isn't this the bronze mirror I was snatched from?" During the inventory, Lawrence found something familiar to him. This also made him realize at once that the two guys who attacked him came from here.

"Now all of this belongs to me." Lawrence happily put the 32 yuan and 17 cents that had been cleaned up into his wallet, and then he put all the rest of the soft bed sheet in a piece of torn sheets. A small package was carried on his back.

  Although this wealth that should be the private money of the gang leader is not much, considering that these guys are some guys who are currently drunk and drunk, it is already a surprise for Lawrence to find their savings here.

"It seems that the choice of this task is completely correct, and there is extra money to be made." Lawrence thought as he walked downstairs to another place where there was a flash of light, "The next step is to see what will be in another place. I have something, I hope I can find as much wealth there as here."
