"The explosion just now was because Mark shot a rocket underground, but as you can see, I was unharmed. The origin of the rocket is a bit complicated. There is actually a huge research institute hidden underground in this village. Before that, I I met He Yi there..." Qi Leren narrated the previous events, and the shape of the magic stick made his words more credible, full of brainwashed persuasion. Following his narration, three minutes later, the illusory wings behind him gradually dissipated into the air, his feet stepped on the ground again, and the silver light spots around him also disappeared without a trace.
But even if he has returned to his usual state, Laura's eyes looking at him can't go back to the past.
"You seem to have a lot of questions." Qi Leren stopped talking, stared at Laura, and said in a tone that was definitely not his usual speech.
"Yeah... I... you... who the hell are you?" Laura asked.
Qi Leren smiled: "I have already answered this question for you."
Of course Laura remembered that he had said that he was an apostle of God. After going through the shock of the Three Views, she obviously couldn't take this answer as a joke anymore.
"You really..." Laura murmured. She was afraid of the answer from the bottom of her heart.
Qi Leren looked at her tenderly and nodded slightly.
Laura took a step back and took a deep breath of icy air. The chill that penetrated her heart and lungs calmed her down, but there was a flame burning in her heart, burning her doubtful heart.
But seeing is believing, and she has nothing to say.
"Now... what are we going to do?" Laura asked. She seemed to have lost her ability to think after the shock of this scene, and obeyed the command of the shepherd like a docile little sheep.
"Many things. There is one mature octopus left, but we can't find him for the time being. There may be a few juveniles that have just completed parasitization, and they are not too aggressive... Let's gather the people who are still alive , we entered the underground research institute, where there is a machine that can detect whether it is parasitized." Qi Leren said.
They acted quickly, Jing Siyu and Jing Sixue were woken up in the middle of the night, and were taken away in a daze. On the way, Qi Le people kindly asked them what they did today, and found nothing unusual. He wasn't sure if these people were infected or not, but they didn't have the ability to spread the first day after they were parasitized, so he wasn't too worried, as long as they brought people to the instruments in the underground research institute, they would know.
Xue Jiahui, Mark, and Annie were dead, and there are only ten contestants who may survive. Among them, there is a mature octopus in the body, and nine out of ten are Francis. But look at the current situation: Dr. Lu and Du Yue are missing, He Yi is also missing, and Francis is also missing.
Qi Leren and his team found Janet and Alex. These two were not as obedient as the Jing sisters, but those who did not cooperate were also frightened after Qi Leren took out the pistol. Although Janet She stiffened her mouth, but when Qi Leren shot and burst the vase beside her, she became honest.
With a kind smile on his face, Qi Leren looked at the few people who were silent, and felt the joy of violent customs clearance from the bottom of his heart.
The five returned to Annie's room. When they entered the attic, many people were amazed. They never thought that there was such a secret room hidden in this hut. After they entered the basement, the mess and the smell of gunpowder in the air made everyone silent.
Janet looked at Qi Leren with puzzled eyes, although she completely took what Qi Leren told along the way as a joke before, she is no longer Jing Siyu and Jing Sixue's two yellow-haired girls who are easy to scare. She didn't believe Wei Tan, what kind of octopus, but the woman's intuition made her keep her mouth shut and watched all this with cold eyes.
Enter the underground laboratory along the blasted passage. The power supply has not been connected yet, but the Qi Le people know where to turn on the backup power supply. He is familiar with the direction of the five people where to go, and he walks at the end in case of a sudden attack.
Laura, who walked in the front, was very careful along the way, and even took a fire ax for self-defense when passing the fire facilities.
In this dark underground research institute, the dark and long corridors make people feel like they are in the body of an ancient giant beast. In the range illuminated by the flashlight, there are dusty ruins everywhere. When walking here, the sound of empty footsteps echoes constantly, inspiring everyone's most terrifying imagination.
Qi Leren suddenly felt that he heard the sound of footsteps, he stopped and listened carefully, and the sound of hurried running came from afar.
"Someone is coming! Turn off the flashlight and stand against the wall." Qi Leren shouted in a low voice.
The five of them were startled, became nervous, and subconsciously followed suit.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Qi Le was leaning against the wall, the gun in his hand had already opened the safety lock.
"Huh, huh, huh..." The rapid panting sound was getting closer and closer, Qi Leren suddenly felt that the voice was a little familiar, it seemed to be...
"Du Yue?" Just as the man ran across the corner of the corridor, Qi Leren called out his name.
Du Yue slammed on the brakes and almost lost his balance. He looked at Qi Leren in surprise: "Senior! Are you okay, senior?! You have absolutely no idea what happened at that time, fuck it, he's gone crazy! "
"Hold on, talk slowly, where is Dr. Lu?" Qi Leren handed him a bottle of water, and Du Yue unscrewed the bottle cap and took a few gulps.
"What's going on?" Janet also asked in surprise, she noticed that there were bloodstains on Du Yue's body.
"Dr. Lu and I ran away... He should be fine, he came chasing me." Du Yue gathered himself together and told everyone what happened.
Du Yue and Dr. Lu found a second ID card that could open the passage in the basement of an uninhabited hut. During the period, they also met Laura. When they asked them about Qi Le people, they honestly said no. Yes, they're looking for him. When they came to the basement of Jing Siyu's house, the two opened the door again and met the Qi Le people inside the door. He entered the basement, holding a dagger and moved his hands with the two of them.
"I... um... used some special means and ran away." Du Yue scratched his head, and Qi Leren knew that he used the [Protagonist Halo] skill card.
However, it was also the first time he had heard of a "protagonist" who escaped with such an aura full of arrogance, wasn't it all used to fight back? You kid doesn't follow the routine!
Qi Leren was a little worried about Dr. Lu, but after thinking about it, he felt that with his luck, nothing would happen—look, the monster still came chasing Du Yue at the critical moment. At most, he fell to the ground and screamed. Hide in a safe place. Qi Le people are very confident in his ability to "lie down and win".
"Don't panic. Since Francis is using a dagger, we are seven against one and there is no problem at all. Even if... it is quiet, there seems to be a sound!" Qi Le people heard footsteps again, and everyone held their breath, listening to the footsteps The sound was getting closer and closer, and then suddenly disappeared, as if the owner of the footsteps had already known their existence.
The distance between them is very close, there is only one corner.
The dark vision, the icy air, the heartbeat of yourself and those around you, this oppressive atmosphere makes you feel like you are in the deep sea.
Qi Le could bear it, but the two little girls couldn't. Jing Sixue tightly held her elder sister's hand, and pulled her back, the fabric rubbed in the dark, making rustling noises . This slight movement was like a flame in the dark night in the dead silence, causing the stagnant air to explode in an instant!
"Da da da da!" The sound of machine gun fire suddenly came from the opposite side, and Qi Le people shouted: "Get down!"
The bullets shot on the wall had already bounced over, brushing against Qi Leren's cheeks.
Damn it, it didn't take long for the enemy's weapon to be upgraded from a dagger to a machine gun!
No, you can't fight here, otherwise the six people next to you will be in danger!
Qi Leren paid attention to the last time he used the SL skill. The one-hour cooling time has passed, and he can fight it. At this time, he didn't care about the prophet's warning. After saving the file, he got up and rushed around the corner. In the darkness, only the burst of fire from the machine gun was lit up frame by frame. His body was like a fish. Sliding across the ground, Francis, who was shooting wildly with a gun, was swept to the ground with a sweeping leg.
Francis roared angrily. The machine gun was too long to hit the Qi Le people who were already close to him. He dropped the machine gun and grabbed the Qi Le people's arms with such force that one could think that the bones would be broken.
After being parasitized by the octopus, Francis' body has mutated into a strong monster, and the Qi Le people, who have never fought close to the octopus, suffered a dark loss in this regard, and were easily pushed down by him. He fell to the ground, and the revolver in his hand flew out, hit the wall and bounced to nowhere.
Qi Leren didn't come up in one breath, and almost passed out. When he was confused, there was an angry shout in his ears, and something hit Francis heavily on the head. With the scream of the woman, the strength of holding Qi Leren became weaker, and Qi Leren broke free , turned over and lay down on the ground coughing heavily.
Enduring dizziness and nausea, Qi Leren looked up and saw that an ax was stuck on the back of Francis' head, and it was Du Yue who snatched Laura's fire axe. Laura covered her mouth and sat down against the wall, gasping and sobbing as she muttered Francis' name.
"Senior, are you alright? I'll help you up." Du Yue kicked away the flashlight he dropped just now, and helped Qi Leren up.
"He's not dead yet, ahem... the octopus in his body... is going to be activated soon..." the Qi Le people knew the habit of octopuses, and reminded hoarsely. He picked up the pistol on the ground and aimed it at Francis's brain. Every shot was accompanied by the gasp of Laura about to collapse.
Qi Leren was gasping for breath, his throat was almost cut off, and he was still a little damaged, which made him unable to speak loudly, but he still amplified his voice as much as possible: "Back! Run back! The body in his body The monster is coming out!"
It was like a preview, after Qi Leren finished speaking, Francis, whose brain had been blown off and whose body was lying on the ground bleeding, suddenly moved.
Janet also broke down, and when she saw the first tentacles protruding from Francis's shattered head, the woman screamed in a soprano voice: "He's alive, he's alive! Monster, Monster!"
