"Then how do we deal with this traitor?" Sixus hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet, and was still thinking about whether to kill Russell here. "He knows too many of our secrets. If he joins up with the enemy..."
Wow!
This time, before she could finish her words, the windows of the two rooms on both sides were shattered.
Along with flying glass crystals and frame fragments, a dark mass of mud-like stuff suddenly squeezed into the room from the window. It was like a flesh monster with bones removed, and it spread out over a large area as soon as it landed, and in this way it quickly spread towards the corridor where they were standing.
"Don't worry about him—" Hitzfeld pulled the dazed doctor violently, "Go—right now!"
Looking up at the front of the corridor, Ma Kai had already run ahead. Next to him was Xia, who was full of fear... She was indeed retreating, but she had to aim her gun at Russell, which made her retreat a little slow. She couldn't catch up with him at this speed...
Hitzfeld's keen sense of danger made her realize the seriousness of the situation before anyone else. She didn't bother to hide anything, she grabbed the woman's hand, pulled her around and ran forward.
"Aisun--" Xia Yibing screamed. She didn't quite understand why Hitzfeld was so cowardly. Even if that strange thing was the main leader of the Mimicry Virus, they didn't need to be so scared, right?
After all, with the experience of Senling City, she knew that they still had half of the natural magic ball - it was not completely without means of resistance.
But she soon found out why.
As the girl pulled her and forced her to drop her aiming rack and start turning around, she heard the second sound of a window shattering.
By the time she turned around and was forced to take the first step, the noise had already continued, with the third and fourth waves coming.
So she no longer doubted the girl's decision, and after taking the first step, she pulled Hitzfeld. The two ran desperately in the corridor, and every time they passed a closed door, they could hear the sound of glass exploding and the strange and ominous liquid surging from inside.
There are so many windows, and the noises I just heard seemed to come from upstairs?
Xia Yibing was still shocked as she ran.
What happened to them that could shatter so many windows at the same time?
Did some giant monster eat up the entire hotel? How could it appear so huge... The noise was too exaggerated.
She didn't understand, she didn't understand at all... because at the very least, she was sure that this was Kerge.
Kerg is the capital of Talignant. The security here is still very strict. Even the Undead controlled by the Mimics dare not make trouble here. If they want to do anything, they have to go through Milanka, the puppet in the open, to give face to others.
Think about it, it is a place like this, they live in the most magnificent hotel in the city center, the royal palace is just a few hundred meters opposite the main gate, a group of people are lying and gathering at the door, unwilling to leave for "Princess Hitzfeld", and there is a layer of police in the middle to maintain order.
How could a place like this be attacked so suddenly?
Just…she wasn't saying it couldn't happen, but why weren't there any signs before the attack?
What about the screams of the crowd?
What about the obstacles in the middle?
None? Just booked the hotel so simply and directly...?
"It... flew over here!" Hitzfeld gasped as he approached the stairs.
This was the only explanation she could think of in the short time.
Unlike the others, she was probably the one who observed the falling process of this thing in the most detail. She saw clearly that it was a thin "layer", like a huge pancake.
If it is thin enough, it can certainly be blown up by the wind, riding on the wind, surging along the edge like a fish swimming in the water, and quietly descending under the cover of night.
This was indeed something she had not thought of beforehand. She thought of many possibilities and even planned to let others block all the sewer openings in the hotel after solving the hidden danger on Russell's side. However, she missed that this thing could be played like this...it could actually fly!
So the previous speculation was correct! It was just stalling for time, and now its real body has finally arrived!
Cursing in his heart, Hitzfeld also guessed that this thing probably wouldn't let them leave so easily.
At least it would be very difficult to leave the Baohuang Hotel - she estimated that the entire building was now completely wrapped in a ball of meat paste, and all the doors, windows, chimneys, and air vents were sealed, and there was no possibility of escape through conventional channels.
Then we can only pray for a secret passage.
Baohuang Hotel is not an ordinary hotel. It is built in this location. She doesn't believe that there is no secret escape passage designed in it.
But the key is how to find it.
Asshole... If the Sally brothers were here, they wouldn't be troubled by this kind of problem!
After entering the corridor, they did not run upstairs immediately.
There was some movement upstairs just now, which meant that no place was safe. Xia Yibing also thought that if they wanted to escape, they had to rely on secret passages, which were mostly on the first floor. At worst, they could go to the basement to delay for a while.
The worst is coming...
She glanced at Hitzfeld.
Aisuen had just used her spirit, and she must have spent a lot of energy to make such a detailed projection. We can't put our hopes on the natural orb and the eye.
As for me... my only means of fighting besides martial arts and firearms is Chang Xia... but the question is, is that thing really an evil spirit?
Xia Yibing learned a lot of information from the projection records, including the origin of this monster. She knew very well that it was not created by the evil spirit or the influence of gray fog. On the contrary, its birth process was very "scientific".
Every step and every evolution can be traced. This is not just her empty talk, but Kyle, the Dragon God Kyle, has proved it with his experimental records time and time again.
Is this kind of thing really evil?
The virus from the last era...the monster...will Changxia really have any effect on it?
Thinking of this, she suddenly decided not to leave.
The fingers that were clenched loosened immediately. Hitzfeld rushed out a few steps before he could react and looked back. He was surprised to see that she turned around and rushed back to the corridor!
"summer!"
She was so scared that she was going crazy, "What are you doing!?"
"That knife—"
cried the woman.
"It must be something extraordinary. I'll go get it!"
The fire-starting knife is naturally extraordinary.
They were afraid that it would be contaminated, but they were also amazed at its sharpness and strength.
Especially Hitzfeld—she knew that in the dream projection, she couldn't touch any other objects, except this knife, this fire knife! She could actually hold it firmly!
At that moment it was as if she was holding the real hilt of the knife in reality. She had no doubt that if she exerted force, she could interfere with the illusion of the past across more than a hundred years and pull it straight out of the scabbard!
But is this the key?
Xia... Doesn't this idiot know how dangerous that thing is?
What use is a mere knife against a shapeless monster... It's not worth going back and taking risks for such a thing!
Without any hesitation, and even without looking at Sixus who had already run a few meters, Hitzfeld turned around and followed him back.
Xia Yibing ran back quickly.
She could hear the doors of the rooms closing... and a clicking and squeezing sound coming from behind.
And Russell... The two doors next to Russell were open, and a lot of black mud had seeped out. Some of it penetrated into the carpet and walls like meridian tentacles, and some of it had already wrapped around Russell's legs, as if it wanted to eat him whole.
Russell did not resist at all and seemed to have completely accepted his fate.
Xia Yibing ignored him and kicked open the closed door of the laboratory. She was surprised to find that the window here was not broken.
Although it was still wrapped, it did not break - this was all thanks to the laboratory renovation. Those people reinforced the wooden boards on the inside of the window, greatly improving its strength.
She quickly picked up the fire knife from the ground and was about to leave when she suddenly heard a faint voice from behind:
"I actually really hope that Hitzfeld can become the queen of the Dragon Kingdom..."
After looking at the speed at which the black mud was spreading, Xia Yibing quickly jumped out and turned back to glare at him.
She didn't want to waste time talking to him.
"But she did inspire me and made me understand that if I want to stick to my inner justice, it is impossible without paying a price..."
The voice was vague and Xia Yibing didn't want to understand its meaning.
But the feedback was too shocking—there was a vibration under her feet, the entire carpet collapsed suddenly, and half of her body sank down.
This is……?
Looking down, Xia Yibing vaguely saw something rumbling past in the darkness.
Dragon God’s Tomb?
With eyes wide open, she could only think of this one possibility.
"summer!"
Hitzfeld was running towards her, reaching the edge of the pit and trying to grab her hand.
At the same time, the black mud nearby became excited as if they had finally found their prey. They suddenly jumped towards the girl and locked all her dodging positions in the air.
Xia Yibing saw it clearly from below. She became furious and simply let go of her supporting hands and pulled the girl off.
"what!"
Accompanied by a scream, the fragrance and softness entered my arms.
Then it started to fall.
And the accompanying flying dust and the rapidly approaching endless darkness...
Chapter 114 Shadow's Child -in-
"Cough cough cough..."
Standing up with a cough, Hitzfeld estimated that he must be covered in dust and dirt at this moment.
They didn't know where they fell, they were only sure that they were underground. Dust had been falling from above their heads since a while ago, which was a really uncomfortable feeling.
Fighting back the dizziness and nausea, Hitzfeld turned over and groped around in the darkness.
Soon, she felt a soft body. She immediately rushed over, touched the other person's face first, then as if she remembered something, she quickly put her hand on the skirt to wipe it, and then used her fingers to feel the woman's breath.
Fortunately, his breathing was steady and strong... This should be just a brief coma.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, the woman in his arms jumped up and burst into a violent coughing fit.
"Xia." Hitzfeld held her head with one hand, making sure that her entire upper body could lean on him, and said with some complaints: "You shouldn't go back and take risks for this knife."
She could roughly guess the woman's mental journey, which was quite obvious, because the reason she asked for a knife was because she was afraid that Changxia would not be able to do anything in many cases.
As for that monster, the true body of the Fei Che Holy Spring, it is hard to say whether its birth process was contaminated by evil spirits. In addition, they lack understanding of the events of the previous era and do not know whether the ancient virus is also a kind of evil spirit. It is normal for Xia to be worried.
But this idiot, doesn’t she remember... that the Changxia Sword was useful when she met the fake Russell by the lake!
Whether it is the fake Russell who is parasitized by the virus pulp or his accomplices, the invisible blade can cause damage to them and tear them apart like a real sharp blade!
So Hitzfeld felt the risk wasn't worth it.
"Is it really not worth it?" After taking a breath, Xia Yibing chuckled.
She now held the fire knife tightly in her hand. She was sure that the knife was not contaminated with any dirt. This was not idealism, but because they had tested it in the laboratory before coming out to arrest Russell.
Now that the dangerous option had been ruled out, she put aside her prejudice and felt that the knife was more and more unusual.
Especially now, holding it like this, there is actually a feeling of blood connection coming from the palms.
It was so strange that it made her feel unreal.
Logically speaking, no matter how good a knife-wielding expert you are, it takes time to become familiar with a new knife.
After all, a new knife is different. Its weight, size, width, and sharpness are things that can only be mastered through instinct and muscle memory after tens of thousands of chops.
But Xia Yibing felt that she could do it now.
Yes... not using "Changxia", but using the "fire-starting knife" that she had just obtained and had not even used once before.
It's amazing, isn't it? A feeling without any reason, like awakening another memory, experiencing it in another life, and swinging it with the knife thousands of times.
"..." After listening to her description, Hitzfeld frowned slightly.
She definitely agreed that the fire knife was extraordinary. It was magical enough that she could hold it in her hand in the projection.
But she didn't feel any "blood connection" when she held the knife twice. This was an experience unique to Xia Yibing.
Simply because she knows knives?
Could it be that this knife has some hallucinogenic effect, causing her to have an illusion...
"This is the Dragon Tomb, didn't you notice?" The woman suddenly spoke, and Hitzfeld vaguely saw her pointing upward in the dim light.
"The position above hasn't changed, but it's already very deep underground... This thing drilled in on its own, and our enemies are quite anxious."
Hitzfeld glanced upwards, and indeed, he could vaguely see a hole the size of a bowl.
