A large number of survivors from the hotel arrived at the entrance of Sunshine Hospital.
The group was greeted warmly by the apprentices before they even entered the hospital, which seemed completely unaffected by death.
On the rooftop.
'Hervoye (Baron and Lotson)' stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes sweeping over the survivors who were rushing into the hospital downstairs. His eyes could even see through their skin, and he could see the neatly arranged blood vessels in their bodies and their hearts beating at high speed due to tension.
It was as if he was watching bags of fresh blood walking into his own warehouse.
It’s a pity that it was just an ordinary blood pack, and not the physical body he really wanted.
"Where on earth is William Behrens? Death has spread to every corner of the city, and all the gentlemen are fleeing. Logically, he should have come to the hospital to meet us as soon as possible.
Did he really die on the way?"
"I don't think so. A guy who can command two monster-level teammates will definitely not die here easily. Wait a little longer, he will definitely come.
Why don't we go down and taste this batch of blood bags first, maybe there is some good stuff mixed in there."
…
Sunshine Hotel
In the superior guest room in the corner of the top floor, six gentlemen who had reached their limit were huddled together in a circle, each looking in one direction and maintaining physical contact at all times, their clothes even intertwined with each other's.
At the same time, everyone is still counting from 1 to 6.
In this situation, if anyone makes a major move, the others will know about it.
But only two minutes had passed.
1, 2,
But the number 3 did not appear.
When everyone looked around, a sense of fear instantly filled the air, and some people's legs even began to tremble.
The circle that originally formed six people has now become five people. The intelligent gentleman named Joseph who is good at fire magic has disappeared as if he was wiped out.
What’s even more exaggerated is that the gentlemen on Joseph’s left and right sides actually leaned against each other, and they had no feelings at all.
"How is that possible!"
Faced with the incomprehensible unknown, everyone panicked and their psychological defenses almost collapsed.
Even Yi Chen's expression was tense, unable to understand how all this happened. However, he was not afraid or panicked, but fell into an extremely excited state of mind.
Living in an orphanage and then entering society as a dead person,
Yi Chen has also encountered various incomprehensible situations, but as long as he calms down and thinks, he can always find clues and gradually find ways to break the deadlock.
This process is dangerous but very interesting.
The feeling of stepping on the unknown made Yi Chen unable to stop.
Buzz! At the back of the head, the book emblem symbolizing the student profession began to "turn the pages" under the activity of brain tissue.
The improvement in thinking brought about by reaching the limit of intelligence quickly integrated some details from the time of the individual's disappearance to the present, and launched an extremely comprehensive analysis.
"At the beginning, the people who are far away from the team, at the outermost edge or at the end disappear. There are many ways to achieve this disappearance.
For example, moving people away by stopping time, or taking people away at a fast enough speed.
But the last time, everyone was alert and gathered in a circle, but they still maintained the "connectivity" between the gentlemen's clothes.
If you want to take people away quietly, you must destroy this "connectivity" and cut off the gentleman's skin. This is the material produced by the old world and is deeply bound to each of us.
As long as there is a cut-off behavior, everyone will inevitably feel it.
unless… "
The smoking brain discovered the key to the problem at this moment.
"Unless the other party can also control the gentleman's skin, and his proficiency, leather content and other basic parameters are above ours.
Could it be that there is another deceased gentleman in the hotel whose skin content is far higher than ours, or even exceeds the limit! No, if there was, he would have stopped us from clearing out the dead in the hotel before, and he must have just arrived. 』
"Everyone hold hands and head to the rooftop. We need to fight in an open and spacious environment."
Because Yi Chen had already established enough prestige in everyone's hearts, when he shouted this sentence, everyone's rather panicked mood was stabilized again.
BANG! The window broke.
Everyone followed the instructions and held hands to climb out of the window together.
Currently on the top floor, just climb one level up to reach the open rooftop area... The open area allows one to radiate one's perception, and perhaps one can discover the other party's 'stealing methods'.
But in the process of climbing through the window and up the stairs, the team was reduced by one person again.
But this time it was not a missing person, but a 30-year-old guy named Cliff, whose "coordination" has reached the limit and he has animal characteristics such as gliding and cushioning.
Rather than believing that Yi Chen went to the rooftop, he believed that if he could escape from the hotel, his chances of survival would be greater.
He pushed his legs together as he climbed through the window, making a perfect leap of faith.
Bat-like wing membranes immediately grew under his armpits, and he glided into the air, trying to use the hotel's height to fly directly to a hospital not too far away.
After he glided for a distance, he even turned his head to look at his temporary partner on the rooftop.
"Everyone, once I arrive at Sunshine Hospital, I will report the hotel's information to them and try to call for reinforcements. You must..."
The words have not yet been finished.
Cliff, who was gliding normally, suddenly looked dull, as if his senses were stripped away, and he fell freely with his head facing down... Bang! Another dead body sign was inserted in the street.
Although Yi Chen was blindfolded, he was able to figure out what was going on just by analyzing the other party's abruptly stopped words and the sound of his head smashing.
Only four people were left in the nine-man team, and only twenty minutes had passed.
The survivors include Yi Chen, Barry, Marity (a 30-year-old woman with a large curved sword and mechanical glasses), and Watrad (a middle-aged bearded man in a light blue robe who can provide quick healing and water-attribute attacks)
Uncle Watrad said helplessly, "It seems that our wanton exorcism in the hotel has successfully angered the source of death hidden deep in the city.
Although I have never thought about dying of old age, I still feel scared when death really comes.
I really want to live. It is such an exciting thing to eat the meat pies made by Miss Xuelai at the corner of the street every day. "
Mariti, carrying the Great Curved Sword, also left her last words: "I thought I could return to Zion if I stayed in Vinholm for a few more years, but I never thought I would never have the chance to go back. I really want to see what lies beyond the limit... Is my talent still not enough?"
Barry was the only one who did not leave any last words.
Yi Chen also sensed the incongruity. They were all gentlemen who had reached their limits. Although they had not yet broken through, they must have experienced life-and-death moments.
Even if you are facing a completely unknown death situation, you should not rush to make a last will.
As a gentleman, your heroic character should be aroused in this situation, and you should focus on fighting instead of saying nonsense that is useless and may even disrupt the mentality of your teammates.
As Yi Chen took this sense of disharmony into consideration, a flash of inspiration came to his mind.
"Sensory..."
Yi Chen immediately shifted his attention and focused on examining his own brain. Sure enough, he discovered that there was a faint thread connecting deep within his brain.
Clang~ Immediately control the chains in the body to swim to the brain area and cut the silk thread.
Snap! The thread broke.
The sound of the wind on the rooftop, the breathing of teammates, the touch of bodies touching each other, and the smell coming from everyone's bodies all disappeared.
In return, there is the sound of dripping water and the unique smell of the bathroom.
"This is!"
Yi Chen immediately took off the blindfold.
He was no longer on the rooftop, but standing in the guest bathroom! The mirror reflected his pale, dead face, and time seemed to have gone back to the moment when Barry said he looked bad.
Ever since Yi Chen entered the bathroom, he has not left.
The reason why I felt that I had left, interacted with Barry and my teammates, and my teammates disappeared one by one... all the tactile, auditory and olfactory feedback were fake, and they were all false information transmitted to the brain by the thin line just now.
When I pushed the door and walked out of the bathroom, Barry and the other teammates were gone.
The moment he left the guest room, an extremely dangerous aura came from the end of the corridor. This aura was far more powerful than that of all the gentlemen that Yi Chen had ever killed.
At the end of the passage,
A handsome man with silk threads fluttering between his fingers walked slowly over. His gentleman's suit was badly tattered, and he exhaled bursts of death's breath from his mouth. There were even ulcers on his scalp, and his skull could be seen.
"This is Vice President Evatt!"
"You actually discovered the 'sensory line' hidden in my brain. I was planning to take care of the others and then bring you back to you. Now it will take a little longer..."
