Volume 1: The Gate of Flesh and Blood Chapter 103: What will the rain bring?

That’s right!

It's money!

In the upgrade description of [Steinbeck Breathing Method], in addition to the necessary [Bloody Honor], there is also a [Consume 1000 gold grams (or equivalent currency)].

Goethe frowned.

"1,000 gold grams?"

"Or the equivalent in currency?"

"really……"

"Jinke is different!"

"No!"

“It’s money!”

"Money has a special meaning! "

Goethe subconsciously thought that entering the 'secret realm' also required the consumption of gold.

He flipped through the introduction to "Steinbeck Breathing Method" again, hoping to find more clues, but there were none. The only thing that seemed possible was "witch knowledge".

And a note: The first batch!

There is no doubt that the first people to gain access to 'witch knowledge' must have been the original knowledge, without any deletions or additions of their own understanding.

What secrets might be hidden in such 'knowledge'?

Goethe's thoughts diverged unconsciously.

When he came to his senses, there was a strong wind and dark clouds outside the window.

The weather in midsummer changes suddenly.

Goethe immediately closed the window.

Most of the materials in the 'Folklore Research Institute' are in paper form, so you have to be careful.

Snap, snap!

In less than two minutes, raindrops as big as beans began to hit the windows.

Goethe sighed that the rain was so heavy and was about to leave the window, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a figure and... a slight movement.

Suddenly, Goethe narrowed his eyes.

…

Judy was on her way to Goethe Winchester's house, carrying a backpack full of math reference materials and exercises - she had originally planned to come to the office this morning, but something unexpected happened last night, so she had to cancel it.

However, the math teacher did not intend to give up.

Judy drove there according to the address left in the student handbook.

She plans to give Goethe extra lessons!

The free kind!

She is serious about her students.

This is especially true for difficult students like Goethe.

She thought Goethe should have a better future.

At least, you should not give up your studies.

This is true even if it inherits the so-called 'Folklore Research Institute'.

Judy was not at the scene of what happened last night, but she had heard about it.

The math teacher did not think Goethe had any magical powers.

It must be because of my keen observation that I discovered the clues!

But because of this, she will never give up on such students.

Such students must be good candidates for learning mathematics!

However, what the math teacher did not expect was that her car broke down.

What made her feel even more helpless was that it started raining heavily.

The only thing to be thankful for was that there was an umbrella in the car.

After calling the towing company and sending the car to the repair shop, Judy walked towards the "Folklore Research Institute" holding an umbrella.

The rain is getting heavier.

Not only was the view obstructed, but water also began to accumulate on the ground.

Soon, Teacher Judy’s high heels were gone.

"We did a flood prevention inspection before the summer, and this is all?"

"What a waste of time!"

The math teacher muttered to himself.

I walked more carefully.

The glasses on her nose are not just for decoration.

She is really nearsighted and has a little astigmatism.

"It should be nearby, right?"

Judy stood there looking for the location of the 'Folklore Research Institute'.

Soon, we found the sixth floor where the 'Folklore Research Institute' was located.

Judy held up an umbrella and after confirming that the light was green, she walked along the sidewalk across the street.

There is a manhole in the middle of the sidewalk.

Water was bubbling out of the two holes of the manhole cover.

It is obvious that drainage has reached its limit.

After seeing this scene, Judy certainly couldn't rashly walk up to the manhole cover. She avoided the manhole cover and prepared to go around it.

But just as she reached the side of the manhole cover——

Bang!

The manhole cover flew up, and a huge figure suddenly jumped out of the sewer.

The sudden change caused Judy to fall to the ground.

The umbrella fell directly to the ground.

The rain and accumulated water soaked her whole body in an instant.

However, the math teacher didn't care about that at all.

She looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief through the water-stained lens...

Crocodile!

That’s right!

It's a crocodile!

A crocodile crawled out of the sewer!

The body length is nearly two meters!

At this moment, he rushed towards her with his mouth wide open.

The instinct for survival made the math teacher step back using his hands and feet, while at the same time, he threw the bag in his hand away.

However, this did not help.

Instead, it angered the crocodile.

Looking at the bloody mouth getting closer and closer, Teacher Judy became desperate.

She had thought that she might die one day.

Will grow old and die.

Will get sick and die.

Of course, there are also accidental deaths.

However, she never thought that she would be bitten to death by a crocodile coming out of the sewer.

Suddenly, Teacher Judy closed her eyes.

Then--

Ga, ga, ga!

As the crows cried, dozens of crows that were hiding from the rain on the branches by the roadside suddenly swooped down.

They launched an attack on the crocodile.

A flock of crows danced wildly.

The chirping continues.

Black unknown.

Disaster follows.

When Teacher Judy opened her eyes, she saw crow feathers floating in the sky and people standing in front of her.

"Goethe?!"

Teacher Judy shouted in surprise.

But then, the teacher had an idea.

"There's a crocodile!"

“Run!”

The math teacher shouted and was about to stand up and stand in front of his students.

As a teacher, how can I stand behind my students?

Even if it is protection, it is the teacher protecting the students!

With this belief, the math teacher stood up instantly.

But Goethe was faster.

He rushed towards the crocodile, dodged the crocodile's attack with a flash, and the [Shadow Snake Blade] in his hand cut the crocodile's back as easily as cutting tofu.

【Break armor】!

Red blood spurted out immediately.

The crocodile struggled a few times and then became motionless.

Teacher Judy stared at the scene in a daze. She, who used to have clear logic, had completely lost her ability to speak.

until--

"Bag!"

“My bag!”

Teacher Judy suddenly shouted.

The bag that had just been thrown out by the math teacher was teetering on the edge of the sewer.

Goethe immediately went towards the bag.

"It contains the math tutoring materials and exercises I brought for you!"

Teacher Judy looked anxious.

Goethe's footsteps paused imperceptibly.

After seeing the bag fall into the well, he turned his head and said with a wry smile.

"I'm sorry, Miss Judy."

"It's okay! It's okay!"

"I'll help you rearrange it when I'm done!"

Teacher Judy immediately comforted Goethe and, patting her chest, gave him assurance.

Goethe took a look.

big.

"Teacher Judy, please go to my house first."

Goethe kindly reminded him and handed the key to him.

The math teacher blushed, immediately took the key and ran upstairs.

Goethe took out his cell phone and called the police.

"Hey, I'm calling the police!"

"Yes, it's me again."

"Okay, I'll wait for Xiusta and Officer An."

After receiving a positive response from the operator, Goethe looked towards the sewer where the crocodile had emerged.

Sewage is flowing everywhere.

The stench was overwhelming.

Moreover, the light is dim and deep.

Even though Goethe's eyesight was four times better than that of an average person, he still couldn't really see what was underneath.

But this did not prevent Goethe from exclaiming.

“There are alligators in the sewers?”

"Did someone accidentally flush a baby alligator down the drain?"

"Or abandoned? Flushed directly into the sewer?"

Goethe couldn't help but speculate, and his eyes turned back to the crocodile's body.

Then, Goethe's eyes fixed.

The crocodile's back was cut open, exposing its stomach.

There is... an arm in the stomach!

A human male arm that looks relatively complete!

…

“Why are there alligators in the sewers?”

"Besides, this crocodile ate people?"

Xiusta, who came rushing over, exclaimed in disbelief.

Then the male police officer rubbed his temples.

"What's going on with the recent 'Star City'?"

"Why do accidents always happen one after another?"

Listening to Shusta's whispers, Goethe kept smiling.

It’s none of his business!

He is just a brave passerby!

An looked at the smiling Goethe, and after confirming that everything was fine, he picked up the flashlight and shone it towards the sewer, but it was still blurry and he couldn't see clearly at all.

"Call for reinforcements."

An said.

Xiusta immediately ran to the car and picked up the walkie-talkie.

Soon, police reinforcements arrived.

Everyone looked at the crocodile and exclaimed in disbelief.

Even the forensic doctor, Jialifa, is no exception.

"Do you always encounter such strange things?"

Garifa asked as he examined the arm.

"fine."

Goethe was equivocal.

"Does that mean we encounter it often?"

"So what do you think of this crocodile?"
