Chapter 122: The Only Remaining Hope
Some time ago, Takeda received a report from a gutter scavenger - a large man-eating rat appeared in the sewer.
At that time, Takeda, who was eager to improve his strength and recruited "talents", naturally did not let go of this opportunity.
He sent his men to negotiate with Tucci, and found that this guy was actually very simple-minded, and could be bought with some food and weapons.
So he generously changed Tucci's equipment, a waterproof leather coat, special myopia goggles, a high-tech alchemy repeater, a highly toxic potion bottle, and so on......
After being bombarded by the sugar-coated shells of capitalism, Tucci was very moved and expressed his willingness to be Takeda's subordinate, and after some brainwashing, he established three views, and began to be proud of being a gangster killer.
But it's not that simple, if Sinjid hadn't been studying Mondo before, I'm afraid it would be Tucci's turn to enter the lab now.
After all, it is much more difficult to turn a person into a beast than it is to make a beast human, and the mutation of the plague rat Tuqi is also very valuable for research.
And Caitlin chased Ergarte to Takeda Saito's hiding place, and made so much noise, it is not surprising that it lures the rat out of the hole.
"Tsk, woman with fine skin and tender flesh...... Do you still have cake on you? ”
Catelyn stared at Tucci intensely, her face pale under the mask, and she never thought that this sewer rat would run under Takeda as a guard.
It's just that it's still very smart, it rolls up its guns, and a sniper without a gun has no ability to fight back at all.
The toxin on the shoulder began to take effect, and although it didn't hurt much, the symptoms of weakness in the limbs became more and more obvious.
In this existential crisis, Caitlin thinks that her insurance is finally working, and that she can bring her parents a fortune in addition to death, even if they don't need it......
What about Phi City?
Jinx Giggs is still waiting for her to be caught, and the forces behind Wei have not been thoroughly investigated, is the show about to end just after the beginning?
Tucci prepares to pull the bolt off Catelyn's shoulder, which is being recycled, and the rat's nature makes it very frugal and greedy.
Caitlyn had been poisoned by the bolt, so she didn't have to worry about her fighting back.
But as it drew its bolts, Catelyn gritted her teeth, and a dark reddish-green blood poured out.
A loud wolf howl rang out so close that the timid Tucci almost left his body.
It looked back and saw that a giant wolf had pounced on it from the smell of blood.
With a huge disparity in size, Tucci was caught flying by the giant wolf, and his emaciated body rolled out of the smooth ground, leaving a wet trail.
The tail coiled up the rifle fell, and Tucci didn't dare to pick it up, but the beast's instincts told it to run away, so it used magic to sneak away.
Why are werewolves here?
Sinjid left in the direction of Takeda Saito, naturally leading the werewolf to the vicinity, and then it smelled blood, and its brain rushed to it as soon as it was hot, and it had completely forgotten what it was supposed to do.
It paced up to Caitlyn, leaning its nose close to her wound, greedily sucking in the scent of blood.
The werewolf's thick, burning snort spurted on her face, making Catelyn almost gag.
The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.
Who is the Hunter?
It's ironic that after a lifetime of hunting, and finally in the mouth of a beast.
"Why don't you keep your mouth, do you still need to pray before a meal to eat people? Do you think God will forgive you if you make this funny anthropomorphism? ”
Catelyn's taunt made Warwick furious, and he opened his bloody mouth to bite off, and Catelyn simply waited for death with her eyes closed.
However, the expected stinging pain of the sharp teeth piercing through the skin did not come, and she opened her eyes in confusion to see Warwick's mouth open and frozen.
She thought it was Jeno who saved her, but it was just the werewolf himself who stopped.
"You remind me of a girl, maybe another girl...... I can't remember exactly, but I killed many girls by mistake. ”
The scarlet in the werewolf's pupils faded, and after the alchemy pump was damaged, the anger mixture remaining in its body was finally exhausted at this moment, and it finally no longer had to be dominated by bloodlust and anger.
It can't become human anymore, but it can do what it wants to do in the future - be a good person.
If hunger compels it to eat people, it eats only bad people.
Warwick's idea to wash his hands of money began with the wrongful killing of a girl.
Warwick stretched out his steel claws under Catelyn's gaze.
The steel claws were heated red, and the heat distorted the air around them.
"It may hurt, but it will be good for your wounds."
It pressed one of its steel claws against Caitlin's wound, and the blood instantly coagulated, and the wound stopped bleeding, and the blood clotted into a scab, and some of the toxins around it evaporated due to the heat.
The burning pain caused beads of sweat to break out of Caitlin's pale face, and by the time she came back to her senses, her whole body was soaked with sweat.
The werewolf wanted to say something more, but his pointed ears twitched slightly, and he heard the sound of the blade cutting through the blast door, and hurriedly fled, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"I don't think I should have bought life insurance."
Caitlyn staggered to her feet, picked up her gun, and checked her wounds.
The wound is scabbed, but the clothes around the wound are also glued together, and it will be very difficult to treat.
"That's a terrible way to deal with it."
She lifted her eyelids, and several figures appeared in the distance - Camille, Jeno, Zack.
But except for Camille, the faces of the others were not very good-looking.
Jeno also saw Caitlin crumbling, ran over to help her, and soon realized what the problem was.
"You're poisoned, come with us."
"Wait...... What about Mondo? I'll have to bring it to Blitz. ”
"Mondo...... In Zach's hands. Jeno sighed and dodged to speak.
"What do you mean?" Caitlyn looked at Zach, who was holding an alchemy device that looked like a diving helmet.
Thinking about it, Caitlyn thought about what it contained.
She closed her eyes in despair, rested her head on Jeno, and was speechless for a long time.
An hour earlier, she had just promised to bring Mondo back safely, but she didn't expect to break her promise so soon.
"Don't blame Camille, in fact, Mondo is not dead yet, suppressing the helmet has left its brain still active, and if Victor is willing to make a move, maybe he can save a life."
Jeno gently comforted.
That's right, in fact, Mondo didn't die so easily, even if the head was cut off by Camille, the brain in it was still active, and if he changed into a mechanical body, maybe there was still a possibility of survival.
This head-swapping operation has a successful precedent in Zaun, and she is still a female alchemy baron, with a status similar to that of Takeda before her, and she is also one of the few most powerful barons left now.
"Really? Walk! I'll take you to Britz! ”
Catelyn wiped her eyes, said anxiously, took Jeno's right hand and ran out.
The only remaining hope must be firmly grasped!
