Chapter 18: Corpses

"Ahhh

Faced with the strange situation in front of him, Culkin was left to scream.

At the same time, he couldn't stop curling up and hiding himself behind Qin Ran.

"Let's hit the road!"

"Let's hit the road!"

The coachman with a terrifying and hideous smile on his lips pounced on Qin Ran.

Because, with the violent action, the rotten flesh on the other party's face trembled, and even, the rotten flesh near the cheek fell straight to the ground, revealing dark green bones.

Although when the other party appeared, Qin Ran concluded that the other party could not be a human.

But looking at the scene in front of him, he still raised his eyebrows.

It's not disgusting or horrible.

Of the corpses he had seen, there were more disgusting and horrible than this.

Just because of the timing of the other party's appearance.

Or, to put it another way.

When did the other person become like this?

Although sitting in the carriage, some situations in the outside world did not escape Qin Ran's perception, and from beginning to end, he did not find the abnormality of the coachman.

It wasn't until the other party opened the door of the carriage and saw the other party's burned face that he realized that something was wrong.

Qin Ran couldn't be sure why such a change had occurred.

But Qin Ran can be sure that when such a change occurs, it will not be quiet.

At the very least, when the transformed person changes from a living person to a monster like a living corpse in front of him, he will never be able to remain silent, looking at the burned face and green bones, this essential change must be extremely painful.

Painful exhalations are taken for granted.

However, along the way, there was none.

Other words......

"Something happened before I came!"

"Before coming, the coachman should be inseparable from Culkin!"

"Since the coachman has an accident, then ...... Will Culkin be okay? ”

In a flash of thought, as this thought appeared, Qin Ran didn't pay attention to the oncoming coachman at all, and his figure immediately rushed to the left, directly crashing through the carriage wall.

Roar!

At the moment when Qin Ran smashed through the wall of the carriage, Culkin, who had been hiding his body behind Qin Ran, had a distorted face and let out an angry beast-like roar, and the other party's face, which should have been pale, also quickly decayed, and his breath became the same as the coachman's terrifying and hideous face.

And the low roar is completely high-pitched.

But......

Bang!

Qin Ran, who was in mid-air, flashed with fire from the muzzle of the gun in his hand.

Most of Culkin's head was shattered by the bullets fired by the [Python-W2].

The high-pitched roar came to an abrupt end.

The driver who had just jumped into the carriage was stunned when he saw this scene.

Then, turn around and run.

Syllable!

[MI-02] The bullet of the silencer pistol was fired from the back of the opponent's head, and the huge impact force lifted off the opponent's Tianling cover.

The coachman's body fell to the ground after a few steps of inertia.

There were a few convulsions, and there was no sound.

[Shoot: Vital attack, dealing 300 life damage to the opponent (150 gunpowder weapon. Light Firearm (Extraordinary) X2), determined that the opponent has tough skin, bullet belief II. is higher than the judgment defense, and has the armor-piercing Lv1 attribute, the actual damage caused is 400 points, and the opponent dies ......]

[Shoot: Vital attack, dealing 300 life damage to the opponent (150 gunpowder weapon. Light Firearm (Extraordinary) X2), Determine that the opponent has tough skin, Bullet Belief II is higher than Judgment Defense, actual damage dealt 400 points, death ......]

……

Qin Ran quickly examined the corpse while browsing through the battle information.

"Tough skin?"

"Not the Dead skin?"

"Moreover, there is still temperature on the corpse!"

"In other words, before being shot by me, it should be 'alive'......"

Qin Ran, who had come to such a conclusion, stood up with a frown.

It's just that he looked at the two corpses in front of him, and he really couldn't connect with 'living'.

And the next moment, the two corpses underwent an unexpected change for Qin Ran.

Goo! Goo!

As if it had been boiled water, green vacuoles appeared on the surface of the corpse, densely connected together.

The corpse quickly melted and decomposed.

In less than three seconds, all that was left on the ground was a puddle of bones mixed with green sap.

Moreover, the bones were still melting at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"What is this?"

Qin Ran was stunned.

Among the proficient level [Mysterious Knowledge] he possessed, there were several situations similar to those in front of him, but which one it was, Qin Ran was a little unable to tell.

Subconsciously, Qin Ran was about to approach the faint green bones that were still melting.

However, a cacophony of footsteps and words interrupted his movements.

"It's here!"

"Gunshots are coming from here!"

Then, a team of uniformed patrol officers appeared in Qin Ran's field of vision.

Obviously, the previous gunfire attracted the attention of the patrol officers.

Qin Ran dodged, hid in the shadows on one side, and then left quickly.

He knew very well that with the arrival of the patrol police, he had completely lost the opportunity to examine the two strange corpses.

However, Qin Ran did not return to Herbert's residence.

Instead, as Culkin described, he went to the room where the other party's shadow was.

The other party's words may be lies, but they may also be true.

For the sake of the information brought by this truth, Qin Ran didn't mind running more.

After all, this is not far from the place that Culkin said.

As he walked forward, Qin Ran's mind was still spinning rapidly.

"What happened to Culkin and his coachman?"

"After leaving Herbert's dwelling, the two went to Hook's lair and met the man who killed Hooke?"

"Or was Culkin punished by the other party when he reported to the mastermind behind the scenes, and became what he is now?"

Qin Ran guessed.

At the same time, reminiscing about the previous changes between Culkin and the coachman.

"You can speak, and you can be very organized."

"The proof is that there is sanity, not confusion."

"Just can't prove if you're under control, or if you're still doing what you want?"

"What's more, the opponent's strength has obviously changed - the appearance of tough skin can make the opponent not afraid of ordinary sword sharp weapons, but I don't know how much the strength and speed have increased!"

Thinking of this, Qin Ran couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But there are no regrets.

For Qin Ran, in the face of an unknown enemy, the best way to deal with it is to kill with one blow.

If you are overturned by the other party because of some concerns in your heart, it is really worth the loss.

Qin Ran would rather spend more effort on other aspects than have any accidents in the battle.

After all, such an accident is likely to be fatal.

"Huh!"

Qin Ran, who was moving forward, stopped abruptly.

In the darkness, a figure was dodging into a house not far away.

According to Culkin's description, the house was where the other party's shadow lived.

PS First Update~

I went to the hospital in the morning, and I came back late, sorry!

I stayed up late before, and a rash suddenly appeared on my decadent legs, and I thought it was eczema, but I didn't care much about it.

But last night it was really itchy, and it hurt and numb, so I had to go to the hospital today, and I checked it and said that I was bitten by a tick......

Decadence is really coming! (To be continued.) )
