It is difficult to describe the weirdness and terror of that man in words.
There was obviously a metal door between them, but Bryce subconsciously protected Alyssa and took a step back.
In this short moment, Bryce suddenly felt a spiritual connection with Alyssa - he could now fully understand why his beloved girl was so frightened.
Is Robert really still human
Robert's human face and body can clearly be seen on the screen, but any normal person can see that something evil and twisted is crawling under that thin human skin.
"We don't want things to get out of hand. Anyway, Vice Captain Alyssa, Medical Officer Bryce, you will always be our important companions... Oh, by the way, and Dr. Lin Xi... Yes , you’re here too…”
Robert suddenly turned his head and made a sniffing motion like an animal.
"Please open the door. This next work is very important - and we also need your cooperation very much. Believe me, you will soon find that we have no malicious intentions. Captain Taran has pointed out a bright path for us. , the only thing we need to do is to follow his instructions... We will evolve, we will transform into a higher-level life form... "
"Sounds like something Taran would say."
Bryce let out a disgusted taunt as he listened to Robert's increasingly high-pitched and enthusiastic voice.
"You will know that nothing I say is false."
Robert looked at the camera, with the corners of his mouth almost reaching below his ears. This "smile" was enough for the other three people in the medical room to clearly see the two mandibular needles inside his mouth.
"Open the door and meet your destiny—"
However, before Robert could finish his words, the surveillance screen suddenly went black, and the surveillance information was interrupted.
There were some strange and vague sounds coming from outside the door.
It sounded like someone was scratching a rough metal plate with long fingernails.
Lin Xihan's hair stood on end and he almost shot at the innocent surveillance screen.
"What was that in Robert's mouth just now?"
And Bryce was no better than him. He held the gun and stared at the darkened screen and asked in horror.
"Familia... I heard Taran say this..."
Alyssa's face was bloodless, and her eyes were dark and deep from too much fear. She answered Bryce in an unreal tone.
"This is what Taran did. He sacrificed the people on the ship to the evil god, and then... and then these people..."
Bryce tried to restore the surveillance line outside the medical room, but no matter how many times he tried, the words that popped up on his personal terminal were always the damn "Restricted Permissions."
"What exactly is going on?!"
Bryce became very agitated.
And at this moment...
"Bryce?"
Alyssa suddenly stared at the metal hatch and spoke tremblingly.
"What's wrong?"
"The medical room...is there any other entrance or exit?"
Her face grew paler.
Bryce could even smell the smell of fear directly from Alyssa's body.
"No, I don't think there are any extra entrances or exits here."
Bryce said.
Alyssa turned her head sideways, her eyes widened, and she looked at him.
"Then do we have any spare weapons?"
she asked.
"It's just the pulse guns in Lin Xi and I's hands. What's wrong?"
As if to echo Bryce's question, a heavy banging sound suddenly came from outside the metal door of the medical room.
"Open the door—open the door—it smells like I told you to open the door—"
Robert's wild beast-like howl suddenly sounded.
"Open the door, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah—"
Immediately afterwards, several electronic keys sounded.
Alyssa pulled Bryce and Lin Xi back several steps suddenly.
"Damn it - Taran has the highest level of management authority on the ship. If Robert applies to him, he can -"
He can easily open any door he wants.
The last half of the sentence was stuck in Alyssa's throat.
Because before she could finish her words, the nightmare-like voice had already sounded.
"drop-"
It was the sound of a metal door unlocking.
Robert had apparently unlocked the metal door to the medical room from the outside.
"Oh fine."
Bryce frowned and muttered, and then he and Lin Xi simultaneously raised their pulse guns and pointed them at the door.
They had no doubt that they were about to face the most terrifying thing they had ever seen in their lives.
…
The metal door slowly slid open to both sides.
…
…
"Zizzi..."
There seemed to be some kind of wet sound passing by the door.
The metal door was fully open.
Bryce and Lin Xi's movements froze, and they stayed there like stones. The finger on the trigger made no movement at all.
They stood motionless while holding their guns, the muzzles of their guns always facing the door cautiously, a few drops of sweat slowly dripping from their foreheads.
Confusion and panic spread in their eyes, and Alyssa expressed their only thoughts at the moment on behalf of the brothers.
"… What exactly is going on?"
Robert was not outside the infirmary door.
After the metal door was fully open, no one in robes was there.
There are no shape-shifting monsters.
There is no such thing as Taran's family.
Nothing at all.
Only the bright red blood on the ground could prove that what they had seen before was not an hallucination caused by pressure.
But for such a long period of time, time seemed to have stopped.
Robert disappeared just like that - so suddenly that he didn't have time to make any sound.
But this is fucking scarier than fighting a monster behind the door.
Lin Xi stared at the blood on the ground without blinking. He could hear Bryce swallowing a mouthful of dry saliva beside him.
The development of the matter was completely unexpected, but Lin Xi and Bryce could only look at each other, not knowing how to continue to deal with it.
After all, Robert was scary enough.
Something that could take away Robert like that in such a short period of time would obviously only be more terrifying.
"I gonna go see."
After a long time, Bryce finally let out an unbearable curse. He held the gun and walked directly towards the door with a twisted look on his face.
"be careful."
Alyssa followed closely behind him, and then Lin Xi.
After arriving outside the metal hatch, the strange feeling suddenly became more intense. When they were in the medical room, they could only pay attention to the large pools of blood on the ground, but at this moment, standing outside the door, the blood stains splattered everywhere became completely impossible to ignore.
There were large pieces of fresh blood on the floor, the walls, and even the lighting facilities. The light fell through the wet blood, and it seemed that even the air turned into some kind of ominous red. The smell of blood was so strong that it seemed to turn into substance and stick to people's mouth and nose, which made Lin Xi feel like she was about to suffocate.
- No matter what happened to Robert in that short moment, it is certain that the person, or that "thing" who attacked him, must have been quite cruel when he did it.
Lin Xi could feel goosebumps rising on her arms.
He knelt down and pressed his fingers on the blood stains.
The blood was actually still warm.
It was as if Robert was standing here just a few seconds ago.
Lin Xi pressed her tongue against the roof of her mouth to suppress the churning feeling in her stomach. He stood up and slowly walked towards one end of the corridor along the distinctive blood stains. The blood stains left a long, long trail on the corridor floor.
"Lin Xi?"
Bryce called to him nervously.
Lin Xi turned back to look at him.
"I think... it wants us to find..."
He murmured, his eyes a little dazed.
"What did you find?"
"His work."
Lin Xi said.
Just as Lin Xi said, they didn't go far when they saw Robert's body at the other end of the corridor.
The man who had frightened Lin Xi and the other three men into cold sweat just a few minutes ago was now just a pile of broken pieces.
"Well… "
When she saw the corpses piled up in the middle of the aisle, Alyssa suddenly covered her mouth and made a sound of retching.
"Heaven—"
Bryce's face also became particularly ugly in an instant.
Lin Xi almost vomited.
He had never seen such a maddening scene in his life before.
There were obvious changes inside Robert's cut body. Just as they had guessed, only his outer skin remained human.
Under the skin, the insect's body was replacing his original flesh and blood body.
This can be seen just from his completely insect-like mouthparts - but the reason why the three of them can see those features so clearly is purely because "that thing" has thoughtfully helped them to distinguish what Robert should have been. The hard skull was split into several even slices.
The back of Lin Xi's neck felt cold.
He was shivering involuntarily.
He composed himself and then reorganized his words.
"The thing that took Robert away was intentional." As he spoke, he glanced at the corridor of the spaceship that was like a plasma movie set. He felt extremely uncomfortable because of his speculation, "He was showing off... showing off what he did to Robert. matter… "
While talking, Lin Xi carefully poked a piece of corpse that fell at his feet with the muzzle of the pulse gun.
Underneath the pale skin and yellowish fat layer of humans, there is a thick chitinous carapace, which feels hard when touched.
"These carapace are very hard. I have encountered similar things on the Providence aircraft before, that kind of mutated big bugs. Even with the plasma gun, we have to keep shooting to possibly cause damage to them. , but... look at the cuts... 'that thing' was cutting through the body like it was cutting butter with a red-hot knife."
Lin Xi motioned to Bryce and Alyssa to look at the corpse.
“Very smooth…”
Bryce frowned at it, then he murmured.
"Maybe the guy used a laser knife?"
he guessed.
"Only a high-power laser knife can do this kind of thing, and if that kind of weapon is used, it will leave traces of laser cutting, at least in the corridor."
Lin Xi shook his head and retorted.
"If it is a high-speed particle cutting machine..." Alyssa just spoke, and then shook her head to reject her guess, "No, it cannot be a high-speed particle cutting machine. The sound of that thing is very loud. If someone is there, There's no way we wouldn't have heard the sound if it was opened outside the door."
“…”
The three of them fell into silence for a while.
Lin Xi looked at Bryce and then at Alyssa. His lips closed slightly, but in the end he said nothing.
Kill Robert in such a short time—take him away—cut him open—
It’s hard to imagine that this is something humans can do.
No... this is not done by humans at all...
Lin Xi was very sure that the other two people could also think of what he could think of, but they had been refusing to admit it.
