Chapter Eighty-Four: Face to Face
Just when Li Mo was helpless by the strange viper array, Medusa was already about to preside over the entire ceremony.
As for how these poisonous snakes were aware of their whereabouts, Li Mo was puzzled. He had no choice but to try to bypass the snakes, and after trekking along this dense snake ring, Li Mo finally found that this line of defense was faintly surrounded by the rear storehouse.
At this point, he finally determined the location where the ceremony would begin, and if there were no accidents, it must be the storeroom. The refinery's warehouse is generally stocked with some production equipment, mechanical parts or vehicle supplies, and the end of the building is tall and large. Closed down is a good place to hold obscure things.
Li Mo roughly estimated that there were no less than a thousand poisonous snakes along the way, and his tight defense made all his attempts fail. If you don't use your ability, it will be difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of the snakes, and the ability to use it will attract the attention of the snakes even more, which makes Li Mo very embarrassed, and after several temptations, he suspects that his whereabouts have long been exposed to the terrifying snake girl.
Although he knew that the matter was urgent, it was obvious that the location of the ceremony was ahead, and he might not be willing to retreat even if he had reached this point. Li Mo circled around the snake from a distance, trying to find a flaw in it and break through. He believed that even if these poisonous snakes could detect themselves, they must have their limitations, otherwise the snake girl before would not have given up searching for herself in the small square.
During this period of Li Mo's repeated attempts, Medusa finally completed the ceremony, and the subordinate priests also successfully led the disciples to complete the second half, and the entire blood sacrifice was undoubtedly a great success.
"Mistress Medusa, both of them managed to survive." The white-haired priest said excitedly
"I know, the ceremony is so successful, if the two of them can't hold on, won't the sect's resources be fed to the dogs." Medusa said disdainfully, "Hurry up and organize the aftermath cleanup, seal the garbage and evacuate immediately." ”
"That's... The mouse? ”
"Since he's interested, I'll play with him." A cruel smile appeared on Medusa's face, "I'll deal with him myself, I'll see how he escaped from me." ”
"Won't you take a break, sir? I think I can arrange for manpower," the white-haired man said hurriedly
"He's not that easy to deal with, the sect can't afford to lose now, every believer is very precious, there is no need to lose money in this kind of place." Medusa waved her hand and interrupted her subordinates impatiently, "You can just go as planned, don't wait for me." Just leave me a car. ”
"Yes." The white-haired man knew that his boss had always been the same and not miscellaneous. Lowering his head to avoid Medusa's gaze, his eyes carefully licked over Medusa's curvy body, hid his desire in his eyes, turned around and organized everyone to clean up the traces left by the blood sacrifice, and carried the two strong men who were still unconscious out of the back door of the warehouse.
Medusa stretched out a hovering lazy waist like a snake, shook her fine lins and made a small and pleasant sound, and ran out of the warehouse on her long legs.
The poisonous snakes scattered throughout the factory are of course kept in captivity by Medusa, in order to help her control the information around her. When the intruder is found, these snakes will secrete pheromones into the air to inform her, as for how these poisonous snakes discovered Li Mo, in fact, there is no mysterious reason, just because each snake is implanted in the nasal cavity with a very small detection device.
There are many materials that can be processed into detection devices, and considering the practicality and cost, man-made crystal diamonds are generally the preferred choice for large alien organizations such as the disaster ministry and the advent faction. The processed material is made to resonate with abnormal fluctuations by special means, and in principle, it resembles a light-emitting diode. Even a faint electric current reacts with the material to generate light and heat, and even the slightest anomaly can light up these detectors.
However, this detection device can only be used to detect the presence and absence of abilities, such as the battle between the Wounded Wanderer and the Wraith, where violent anomalous fluctuations fill the entire space, and taking out the detector at this time is like walking into a magnetite with a compass. In the afternoon, even if Medusa took the detection instrument and tried to find out where Li Mo was hiding, except for knowing that an alien had just appeared here, nothing else helped.
Of course, by increasing the size of the instrument and using other technologies, it can indeed greatly improve the accuracy and reduce the misjudgment rate, and the Ministry of Disasters is proud of the alien monitoring satellite system "Skynet" is the ultimate embodiment of this aspect, but this level of instrument is no longer able to be carried, not to mention that its manufacture and use require a strong government as its backing, not to mention that the advent faction plays.
However, as the saying goes, the rich have been rich, and the poor have been poor. Naturally, the Advent faction also has many of its own detection methods, and Medusa's snake is an original method, although it is simply implanted with a very small special drill sand, but it is very effective.
The nasal cavity of many snakes has a special organ that induces heat and infrared rays, as long as the treated drill sand is implanted into this organ, even the slightest heterogeneous fluctuations in the outside world will cause the drill sand to heat up, and this subtle heat change will well guide the venomous snakes to find the strangers around them.
Li Mo would never have imagined that the concealment method he was proud of was being cracked by someone in this way, and he couldn't imagine that this method was only effective for the faint alien that suddenly appeared, as long as he was ruthless and walked inward regardless of the activation ability, the abnormal fluctuations that soon emitted would make these poisonous snakes lose the condition of sensing their specific location, thus breaking through this snake array.
Medusa was sure that Li Mo would never have imagined doing this in a short period of time, and judging from the results, it was indeed the case, this half-truth and half-false snake circle really frightened Li Mo, and he didn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool until the end of the ceremony.
In the dark night, Medusa jumped out of the warehouse and rushed towards the place where Li Mo was sneaking, without worries, she was undoubtedly an extremely terrifying hunter, her high-IQ mind and powerful instincts from cold-blooded animals made her a powerful and efficient killing machine, plus Medusa was full of confidence in the home battle.
Li Mo's mysterious disappearance in the afternoon did surprise her a little, but it was more due to the worry that the ritual would be disturbed, and at this moment her bloodthirsty desire rose up, ready to have a hearty fight. The instinctive desire to kill dispelled the fatigue brought by the ritual, and the high-spirited battle intent lit up the ghostly golden eyes.
Here Li Mo didn't know that the danger was already approaching him, and after going around for a while, he finally found that the poisonous snake that had reacted to his concealment became more and more dull with the increase in the number of times, and gradually he somewhat understood what the problem was, and just when he made up his mind to go deep into the snake formation, an extremely subtle sound entered his perception.
Feeling that the other party was killing him directly, Li Mo understood that it was probably too late, and it took so long to react to himself, so it can be seen that the "ritual" in the mouth of the mysterious snake girl should have ended. As soon as he thought of this, Li Mo gave up and fled, he wanted to communicate with the other party head-on to see if he could take out more information. Tightening the gun in his hand, Li Mo took off a grenade from his waist and clasped it in his left hand, standing firmly in the direction where Medusa came, his eyes looking for the other party's figure in the dark.
At night, Medusa's eyesight deteriorates dramatically, but she is able to use heat, infrared, and air currents across her face to feel the world around her. Both of them are good at reconnaissance, and they are still some distance away from each other to detect each other's specific locations, Medusa was slightly stunned by Li Mo's choice to stay in place for the enemy, and couldn't help but have a strong interest in such an opponent, and the afterburner under his feet soon appeared in front of Li Mo.
The churning snakes suddenly faded like a tide, and soon disappeared without a trace. However, Li Mo knew that the other party did this to avoid accidentally injuring these painstakingly cultivated poisonous snakes in battle, in fact, these poisonous snakes had dispersed into a larger encirclement network centered on him. Li Mo, who initially got a glimpse of the defects of these poisonous snakes, was not panicked, he knew that the main master was about to appear next.
Under the moonlight, a beautiful girl in a white silk robe walked over, Li Mo squinted his eyes and observed the other party, although the outfit had changed, there was no doubt that this woman was the mysterious snake girl who almost pierced his heart from behind in the afternoon. The two slender legs loomed under the robe with the bewitching steps, and the colorful halo was refracted by the moonlight, and Li Mo, whose eyesight was far beyond ordinary people, could see the fine scales covering the surface of this pair of seductive beautiful legs at a glance.
The glamorous girl gently lifted the silk robe with both hands, walked six meters in front of Li Mo and stopped. With a smile, it was like a spring breeze blowing a warm river, and the evil air on his face melted into a drunken softness, and he said slowly with his lips
"I thought you made up your mind and won't come out again." The coquettish tone is like the little sister next door coquettishly to the person she likes. It's just that no matter how the ghostly vertical pupils circulate, they can't make the slightest smile, revealing the coldness of the forest.
"There are beautiful people looking forward to it, and even the Longtan Tiger's Den will also come to meet." Li Mo said in a hoarse voice, a hot feeling rising from his throat, and he reluctantly suppressed his cough and tried his best to make himself clear.
Even so, why rush to leave at noon? Harm people wait for nothing. Medusa's brows were imperceptible, and she quickly returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Obviously, I have invited you so much." ”
"At that time, I was afraid that I would miss your ceremony, so I waited here early before you were done." Li Mo stared at the other party tightly, he had seen the other party's straight as a ghost, he didn't think that just because he wore an extra white silk robe would affect his speed, "After talking for a long time, I don't know the girl's name." ”
"You can just call me Medusa, I don't know what you call me?"
"Medusa? This surname is not common. Li Mo quipped, he knew that this name was the same as the title of "Knight" in the Wounded Years, just a code name for the hidden real name. However, he had no impression of this title, there was never a record in the previous information that there was such a No. 1 stranger in S City, and the Advent faction was so hidden and rich that he smacked his tongue.
"You're kidding." Medusa raised her hand and laughed wildly, Li Mo stared at the pair of frost and snow and the cold glow shining on Qianqian's thin fingers, and did not dare to be careless, for fear that the other party would make a violent move. Medusa noticed his gaze and smiled, "Don't stare at people like that, you'll be shy." I haven't said your name yet, but if you want to see us find a place for you to take a closer look at the satisfaction, how about it? ”
"Really? You can call me anything, as long as you like. Li Mo felt the temperature of the pistol handguard in his palm gradually stabilize, and preliminarily confirmed that the other party might be a middle-level alien, so it seems that the other party was not the party to the conflict with the injured year that night.
"So I wonder why you're here today?" Medusa didn't seem to care about Li Mo's almost scoundrel answer, and still smiled innocently.
"I've heard that an organization is willing to take in strangers, so I'm here to seek asylum." Li Mo lied casually
"I've seen a lot of believers who have gone to the arms of the gods, but this is the first time I've seen someone carrying a standard military pistol." Medusa looked at the gun in Li Mo's hand, "When will the guns of the People's Liberation Army be bought casually?" ”
"It's just contraband." Li Mo listened to the word "quite a few": "I am wanted, and I hope to join your organization to seek a glimmer of life." “
"Of course, no problem, very welcome." Medusa said with a smile
"Well, if you can tell me how you left this afternoon, I'll take you to the High Priest now!"
