Chapter 3 Gus
As night fell, the lights of New York were bright. A truck was speeding in the night, rushing towards the bridge connecting New York and Manhattan.
Gus took a deep puff of cigarette, and looked at the rearview mirror from time to time. Through the rearview mirror, he could see a huge sarcophagus.
The coffin box was engraved with fine lines, skulls, swords and countless hideous and terrifying monster images. The whole sarcophagus was filled with an ancient and old atmosphere.
"This is the last time..."
Gus' eyes flickered slightly. He didn't know what was in the sarcophagus, but he knew that it must be contraband, otherwise Aihorst would not have instructed a person with a criminal record to secretly transport it.
Looking at the overpass not far ahead, Gus breathed a sigh of relief. He had just passed the Fobole checkpoint, which really scared him. If he was caught by the police and imprisoned again, his mother would definitely die in the hospital because of not paying the medical expenses in time.
This is also the reason why he helped Aihorst. Everything was because of the medical sponsorship of the Stone Heart Group.
Puff!
The strange noise behind him made Gus' eyes slightly shudder, but looking at the overpass in front of him, he didn't think much about it and just thought it was a bump on the road.
We are about to reach the destination.
When the truck was about to drive out of the bridge, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Gus's road.
Fortunately, there was still some distance from the truck, and Gus barely stopped the car in front of the man who suddenly appeared in front of him.
His heart was pounding with anger, and he frowned to suppress his uneasiness and looked directly at the other party.
"Hello, Mr. Gus, my name is Lin Jue, nice to meet you!"
At this time, Lin Jue, wearing a black windbreaker and smiling, walked slowly to the front of the truck, looking at the familiar face in the driver's seat of the truck, it was Gus who pretended to be calm.
I couldn't help but feel a little emotional in my heart. It's not without reason that Aihorst chose Gus.
As a very distinctive character in the early days of the blood clan, Gus has a strong fighting consciousness. Because the handle is in the hands of the Stone Heart Group, he has been helping the Stone Heart Group do some shameful things.
When Lin Jue really came face to face with him, he could feel the fierceness hidden in the man's eyes.
He is indeed a man who can face vampires at close range and then successfully escape.
Gus frowned slightly, pulled up the corners of his mouth, looked at the Asian man who was slowly walking over, and tried to stay calm.
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
"Kind man, can you take me to Manhattan?"
"Take you? Sorry, I have a mission and may not be able to help you!"
"Brother, tell me the truth, if you don't want to die tragically under the mouth of the monster lying in the sarcophagus, maybe you can consider my opinion!"
"Do you know what I am transporting?"
Gus's expression finally changed. Looking at the handsome Asian man in front of him, his face was uncertain.
But Lin Jue came straight to the front of the car, slowly opened the door, and sat in the co-pilot seat calmly.
Looking at the sharp blade against his side, Lin Jue was not panicked at all. Not to mention his understanding of Gus's character, he was confident that he could escape successfully with his own fighting skills.
"You don't want your mother to lose you tonight!"
Lin Jue didn't look at Gus, but stared at the rearview mirror with a hint of horror in his eyes.
Noticing Lin Jue's sight, Gus was extremely confused. The visitor didn't seem to be targeting him, which made him relax a little.
"What's in the sarcophagus..."
"Hush!"
Lin Jue put his index finger in front of his mouth. Under the street lamp that shone a pale light, his cheek looked a little creepy.
Gus's face was a little solemn. He suddenly realized that Lin Jue seemed to be staring at the sarcophagus from beginning to end. The slightly shrunken pupils seemed to be alert to something. He subconsciously looked at the rearview mirror, and the sarcophagus was still quiet.
The two were silent until Gus slowly drove the truck to the designated location. Lin Jue quickly took out the ultraviolet lamp he bought from the material store from the bag beside him.
Under Gus's surprised eyes, he got out of the car.
"What are you going to do?"
Gus frowned. He didn't understand what the purpose of the Asian man in front of him was!
He handed one of the ultraviolet lamps to Gus directly.
"If you don't want us to die here, keep shining this lamp on the sarcophagus!"
Then Lin Jue added a small searchlight to his hat, gently pressed the button at the back, and the purple light shone in front.
With a hint of urgency in his eyes, his hands touched the sarcophagus directly the next moment.
Under the cold touch, the voice in his mind sounded instantly, and Lin Jue's eyes bloomed with different colors.
Really?
"Deprivation!"
Lin Jue whispered in a low voice, and the next moment, an invisible wave passed through his palm to the sarcophagus.
Under this invisible wave, Gus, who was standing aside, had a confused look on his face. From his point of view, Lin Jue just put his hand on the sarcophagus.
However, the next moment, under his curious gaze, the sarcophagus suddenly shook violently, and the huge stone material hit the iron deck of the truck heavily. The violent sound scared Gus to the ground instantly.
Lin Jue's eyes sank slightly. Through the irradiation of the ultraviolet lamp, his face was uncertain. Feeling the power surging in his body, his hearing was also greatly enhanced. He instantly noticed the lock inside the sarcophagus turning slowly.
No! It's coming out!
The next moment, his figure jumped out of the car directly, and Gus, who was originally outside the car, had already run wildly and rushed out of the door.
The huge sound just now really scared him. The sarcophagus weighing more than 500 kilograms seemed to hide something terrifying. Coupled with Lin Jue's previous words, he could no longer hold back the creepy feeling in his heart. He ran away with the ultraviolet lamp in his hand, and the purple light flashed around him.
This guy!
Lin Jue looked at the sarcophagus with some regret. The next moment, feeling the power surging in his body, he panted slightly, twisted his body, and chased Gus at an extraordinary speed!
This speed.
Lin Jue was ecstatic, and extraordinary power surged in his body. This was only a part of the ability he absorbed!
He was very familiar with the Blood Clan series, so of course he would not give up this opportunity. His own innate talent in his mind was emitting a bright glow.
Deprivation (awakened): It takes effect on any character without resistance and can deprive the character of its beneficial characteristics.
This is why Lin Jue took the risk to find Gus this time, because this was the most defenseless time in the early days of the Blood Ancestor!
It was a pity that his innate talent did not take effect instantly, so he did not deprive it all.
Feeling the power surging in his body, Lin Jue had a feeling of seeing the sun rise after the clouds were cleared. When he ran out of the door, his keen hearing instantly heard a huge sound from the direction of the truck behind him.
That guy came out!
Lin Jue's legs swung wildly, like an afterimage, and he rushed to Gus in an instant.
