Chapter 105: The Cicada, the Praying Mantis, and the Yellow Sparrow (18)
[Subtitle: The Endless Corridor]
"Oh!" Kenji Sakura raised his fist to the sky, lowered his head, and posed as when Luffy and his gang said goodbye to Princess Vivi, and the arm released the chain, which was decent, but the chain soft cotton shot out in all directions, not injuring any half-body soul, but because of the wound, he screamed "stunned and stunned", and put his arm down again.
Gu Qi didn't pay attention to Kenji Sakura, nor did he care about those half-body souls, and concentrated on condensing a long sticky stick, which was cut off from the middle and turned into two short sticks of about eighty centimeters, holding one in one hand, and looking around.
There are less than twenty half-body souls, if there are chains and Kenji Sakura's cooperation, he can deal with these half-body souls in a minute, but unfortunately the body and chains have become Kenji Sakura's, and his control over the slime can't be as comfortable as Kenji Sakura, so he can only do it himself.
It is not an easy task to use two short sticks made of similar material to rubber to kill a half-body soul, the short stick is not hard enough, although the power is great, but even if the half-body soul is lying still and let him fight, it is estimated that it will take a few minutes to kill one, and the best way is to change back to the original body and kill them with the ability he is familiar with.
"You come to the prayer master, and I will protect you." Gu Qi flipped over the single bed, came behind Kenji Sakura, and with a violent wave of his right hand, he repelled a half-body soul that pounced on him.
Kenji Sakura wrapped chains around his arms and slammed the closet door open.
Half-body souls, like souls, can pass through thin obstacles such as doors and windows, and they have not opened the door when they have just come out, and must be re-checked.
A half-body soul rushed out of the closet, Sakura Kenji raised his hand to block, the half-body soul grabbed his arm, opened his mouth and bit it, but failed to bite the chain, Sakura Kenji raised his arm and turned to the back, Gu Qi's short stick smashed into the face of the half-body soul, knocking him down.
After checking the wardrobe, Kenji Sakura waved his fist and opened the half-body soul that was rushing towards him, came to the TV cabinet, bent down and pulled the door open.
Gu Qi was very busy, he couldn't find the brain of the half-body soul, and he waved a short stick to knock away one half-body soul after another, and sometimes, the half-body soul would pounce at the same time with exactly the same action, just like when he was attacked in the stairwell, but this time Gu Qi had already made a slime armor in the process of fighting, he couldn't kill the half-body soul, and the half-body soul couldn't kill him.
During the battle, Kenji Sakura finished checking the TV cabinet, kicked open the refrigerator, opened the mattress, and checked everything in the room that could be checked.
Only the bathroom remains.
Accustomed to Gu Qi's style of play, the attack of the half-body soul became more and more fierce, Gu Qi ate two punches and received an elbow, and that elbow almost beat him to vomit blood, so anxious that Kenji Sakura screamed, it was his body after all.
Slowly approaching the door of the bathroom, Kenji Sakura turned the doorknob, but the door of the bathroom was locked from the inside and could not be opened, so he immediately hit the door with one shoulder, and screamed in pain, but it was he who habitually hit the door with his right shoulder.
In the movie, it looks easy to knock the door open, and it can even be kicked open with a single kick, but in reality, the door is not so easy to knock open, and the door here is specially made, and the bathroom is used as the last refuge of the prayer master.
Gu Qi also changed positions and bumped a few times, he had a mucus protector and was not afraid of squeezing pain, so he used all his strength, but the bathroom door still couldn't be opened.
"It seems that the only way to deal with these half-body souls is to deal with them first." Gu Qi and Kenji Sakura stood side by side in front of the bathroom door, and the half-body souls had already surrounded them.
"Gotta find a handy weapon." Kenji Sakura looked around, as if he wanted to tear down furniture to use as a weapon.
Gu Qi glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "The chain can wrap the arm or the fist. ”
"Oh, yes!" Kenji Sakura immediately wrapped two fists in chains, and it hurts to hit people with fists, but if you wrap the fists in chains, you can kill people.
"Divide me into two." Gu Qi stood in front and blocked a round of attacks from the half-body soul, and was hit by another elbow, and the arm bones were almost broken.
"Replace me." Kenji Sakura handed Gu Qi two chains, switched to the front, and smiled and slapped a half-body soul in the face with a hook punch.
The punch was strong enough and the chain was hard enough, and the head of the half-body soul slammed to the side, and its facial features were squeezed together, and it turned into black smoke and disappeared in mid-air.
Gu Qi quickly wrapped the chain around the heads of the two short sticks, glued them well, and wrapped the slime short sticks like a scepter, which increased the power many times, the short stick has a little elasticity, and it will not hurt the hand when swinging, and the hitting force is also different from the iron rod, which is very enjoyable to fight.
Clouds of black smoke rose from the room, and the number of half-body souls began to decrease, and the two of them used a chain-headed slime stick and a chain-wrapped fist to clean all the half-souls in the room.
"What now?" Kenji Sakura asked, sitting on the bed with his elbows on his knees.
"Burn." Gu Qi looked around, gasped and said, the physical quality of this body is not as good as his, after fighting for a while, he is a little tired, and the chain of the mucus short stick head disappears.
"Interesting." Kenji Sakura immediately got up and moved the two mattresses over against the bathroom door.
Gu Qi crumpled the sheets, dragged all the combustibles nearby, took out a lighter from his pocket and lit the sheets.
The two retreated to the platform, opened the door, and watched the fire raging in the room.
This is underground, and the nearest room is also dozens of meters away, so there is no need to worry about a fire, and the fire will extinguish itself after everything that can be burned in the room is burned.
A large amount of smoke came out, forcing the two of them to the edge of the platform, and the smoke slowly rose along the ceiling of the corridor, and it was estimated that the Ye brothers would suffer, but the place was big enough that the two should not be choked to death.
A few minutes later, a pitch-black figure burst out of the room, his clothes on fire and coughing violently on the ground.
The body was finally replaced, and the man on the ground, whose hair and eyebrows had been burned, could no longer care about the ability to cast, and only had the survival instinct left.
Gu Qi released the chain, strangled the man's neck, pulled him violently, and threw him into the burning room.
…………
There was no longer an ambush in the next few rooms, and Gu Qi and Kenji Sakura came to the corridor under the stairs.
Surprisingly, the corridor is surprisingly short, only twenty meters long, completely disproportionate to the length of the staircase, and has a strange structure.
The hallway was tall and wide near the end of the staircase, and it was not a problem for ten people to walk in side by side, but it became shorter and narrower the further inside, and the opposite end was so narrow that only a mouse could tell it, and at the end there was a door, so small that it could only reach two fingers into it.
"Uh, for the visuals? Does this seem far? Kenji Sakura stared, squinted, and pulled the corners of his eyes for a long time, unable to understand why the corridor was designed like this.
"It's not like it's for the sake of visual effect, this design generally wants to make the corridor look longer, but the angle between the ceiling and the wall is too large, which makes the corridor look shorter, and the door at the end should not be able to enter, but there is no other way here, so I can only walk over and see." Gu Qi looked around, there was no place to hide people here, and he couldn't see any other way.
"Okay, watch your step, maybe there's a mechanism on the road." Kenji Sakura put on a slime suit and stepped into the hallway first.
Gu Qi also walked in, vigilantly guarding the surroundings as he walked, and probed the floor with chains, if there was a trap, it would be triggered by the chains in advance.
Walking cautiously forward for a while, Gu Qi stopped his steps and stopped Kenji Sakura.
"What? Enemy? Kenji Sakura looked at Gu Qi and asked.
Gu Qi shook his head and said, "There is no enemy, but there is a problem with this corridor, the ceiling is getting higher and higher, and the corridor is getting wider and wider." ”
"Huh?" Kenji Sakura hurriedly looked to both sides, then looked up at the ceiling again.
Sure enough, as Gu Qi said, the ceiling seemed to have become twenty meters high, and the corridor could originally accommodate ten people walking side by side, but now it seemed that it was not a problem for thirty people to stand side by side.
But from the outside, the corridor is obviously getting shorter and narrower.
"What's going on?" Kenji Sakura felt creepy: "Vision? It looks like it's going from wide to narrow, but it's actually going from narrow to wide? ”
"That doesn't make any sense." Gu Qi frowned and said, "I thought of a possibility, the worst-case scenario, you stand here and don't move, you can try it out." ”
So saying, he walked forward alone.
After only five steps, Kenji Sakura's exclamation came from behind him: "Oh! You...... You ......"
Gu Qi turned around, his brows furrowed even tighter.
Kenji Sakura has already become a giant, he looks three meters tall, and he looks surprised, pointing at Gu Qi, looking domineering.
Gu Qi walked towards him again, and when he came to his side, Kenji Sakura had already returned to his normal size, still pointing at Gu Qi, so surprised that he forgot to take it back, and almost pointed at Gu Qi's nose.
"Sure enough, it's the worst-case scenario." Gu Qi lit a cigarette, sighed, and took Kenji Sakura back to the platform in front of the corridor.
"Getting smaller?" Kenji Sakura looked at the small door across from him and said, "Isn't that just right?" That door is also small, let's walk over it, just in time to get through, why is it the worst-case scenario? ”
Gu Qi took a puff of his cigarette and said, "The problem is that the speed at which we get smaller is much faster than the speed at which the corridor narrows, so we feel that the ceiling is getting higher and higher, and the corridor is getting wider and wider. ”
"You mean, when we get to that door, it's going to be too small, and the door is like a climbing building to us, and there's no way to open it?" Kenji Sakura asked, pointing to the door across the hallway.
Gu Qi shook his head: "No, we will never be able to walk to the door." ”
