Legion's Experience Chapter 36: The Depths of the Dark Lake
The crocodile in the lake has not been seen since it dived to the bottom of the lake. No matter what tricks everyone uses, it will not help in the end. But the back mountain, which originally didn't rain ten times a year, has been raining again and again in recent days. Not only that, but the internal dormitory in the back mountain also began to rise in the tide, and when I got up early in the morning, the walls around me were drenched with big men.
However, the strange phenomenon does not stop there. There are more and more logistics soldiers who have disappeared inexplicably within the legion. As a result, there was an extreme shortage of logistical troops, and even elite soldiers who had never set foot in the back mountains began to be transferred to the back mountains in large numbers to conduct reconnaissance and patrols.
"It's strange that as soon as the rainy season comes, more and more people go missing. Could it be that the crocodile was injured by us, holding a grudge, and using some kind of spell in the water. Secretly arrested everyone? Fang Qing wondered.
"I looked with my eagle eye and the rain just covered the entire back mountain. The area within a radius of twenty miles is still normal. Rainfall said.
"Twenty miles? This range is probably the horizontal range of the entire back mountain. If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid another mutant in the back mountain has already been dispatched. Ye Xiu frowned and said, "The river monster that was injured by us, if you can use the rain to make so many logistics soldiers disappear, why do you pretend to be a logistics soldier and mix into their team to kill people?" ”
"That's right, this kind of physically demanding skill of rain requires the support of extremely strong spiritual power and physical fitness, and the strength of this mutant is at least above the fifth order." Ye Yin said.
"Let's go and see what we can find."
Ye Xiu and the four of them quickly found the dormitory where three roommates had disappeared in a row in a few days, hoping to find something through talking to those logistics soldiers and investigating the scene.
The dormitory is very tidy, and the water in the walls is constantly flowing out of the walls. They put face plates under the wall and took no less than four plates.
"Where did your roommates go before they disappeared, and what are their daily habits? When they disappeared, what time was it? Ye Xiu asked.
"I don't have any other habits, I just can't hold back at night and go to the toilet to smoke a cigarette. Or, go fishing in the lake in the back mountain. "Logistics armor.
"Night! It's usually night! I watched my brother on the top bunk go to the toilet in the middle of the night and didn't come back for more than an hour! I thought something was wrong with him, so I ran to see it, but I didn't expect that there was no one in the toilet! You say, is there a ghost in this toilet? "Logistics Soldier B.
"I didn't go anywhere, the brothers were together every day, either to play cards in their spare time, or to go to the back mountain to take a walk and see the girls in the company next door. We all went out together and came back together. Who knows, how can there be one less person who comes back in the middle of the night! I also wondered...... "Late soldier C."
After more than a dozen dormitories asked, everyone's answers were almost the same. The places frequented by logistics soldiers are almost all back mountains, lakes, and toilets.
Ye Xiu carefully observed the toilets inside each dormitory, almost except for the washstand, that is, the bath tray and toilet. And the missing people disappeared only after going to the toilet in the middle of the night. Could it be that something will appear in the toilet in the middle of the night?
However, after each work in the dormitory of the logistics soldiers, there will be a dormitory director who will turn off the lights and lock the door after the dormitory commander has unified the staff. This door is also a machined mechanical combination lock, and it is almost impossible for strangers to want to blend into the dormitory after everyone has fallen asleep.
If it's a window climb, it's even more unlikely. Since the internal dormitories of the regiment are on the upper floors, all the dormitories are sealed with barbed wire outside the windows. If the barbed wire fence is tampered with, there will be movement. Besides, on such a high floor, how could anyone climb so high and blend in?
But almost all of these logistics soldiers who disappeared from the dormitory disappeared after going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Since the opponent is a high-level mutant warrior whose strength is above the fifth order, the best way is to devour the opponent through some kind of medium. What is this medium?
Could it be that it's a drop of water? There are so many water droplets here, if the other party is a master of water magic, then it is indeed possible to take people away quietly.
"Ye Xiu, have you noticed that the mirrors in these bedrooms seem to be a little strange?" Flying rain interrupted Ye Xiu's train of thought.
"Mirrors?" Ye Xiu wondered.
"You see, almost every mirror has water droplets left, but the mirrors in each bedroom are very clean. Don't you think, there's something wrong with this mirror? Rainfall asked.
"The mirror is clean?" Ye Xiu's heart was shocked.
That's right? The mirrors in each bedroom have almost no drops of water. Judging by the situation in each dormitory now, this is completely impossible! Besides, if the tide is high because of the weather, then the mirror must be hazy.
"Could it be that they woke up in the morning and saw that the mist was very heavy and they had brushed it?" Fang Qing wondered.
"No, it won't. The mirrors in each bedroom are close to the walls. Those walls are bubbling all day long, and the logistics soldiers' shifts are almost before 12 o'clock at night, how can they have so much time to wipe the mirrors? Flying Rain frowned.
"Do you suspect that those mutants infiltrated the dormitories of each legion through the medium of mirrors, and then took advantage of their midnight wakes up to wipe them out one by one?" Ye Yin frowned.
"Isn't that possible?" Rainfall frowned.
"If the opponent can really use the medium of mirrors to infiltrate the dormitory and take the logistics soldiers away, then it is obviously not the same person as the mutant who attacked in the back mountains and lakes. So, why wait for those logisticians to get up at night? Silently taking people away in the bathroom? Can't you just come out of the bathroom and take the whole dormitory away silently? Ye Xiu was stunned for a moment and continued: "Judging from the current data, there are far fewer missing late-stage soldiers in the bathroom than in the back mountains and near the lake. I can think that the other party's means of infiltrating the legion's bathroom to commit crimes will be far more difficult than the methods of committing crimes in the back mountains and near lakes. Or maybe the mutant who killed in the bathroom didn't join forces with the others! ”
"Didn't join forces? Since the disappearance of the river monster that can paint skin, the rainy season has become very ordinary, and the place where it disappeared has also begun to turn to the dormitory. If there's no connection here, I'm afraid it doesn't make sense, right? I think, the point, is still the lake, we might as well dive in and see. Look at this low water, what other ghosts are there? Ye Yin said.
"Agreed!"
"No, the place where it disappeared is the back mountain, the lake, and the bathroom of the dormitory. The instructor also said that there is more than one mutant who has infiltrated the back mountain. I suspect that there are several mutants, and then they use different methods to commit murder at the same time. However, brother, you proposed to go to this lake first to find out, and I agreed. Ye Xiu said.
"Why don't we divide into groups? Isn't it all the right thing to do? Fang Qing said.
"No, the other party is all mutant warriors whose strength is above the fifth order. Now there are three places where the incident happened, and even if we walk in pairs, we are relatively far apart. We don't have the speed of teleportation, if we encounter danger again, it is very likely that we will not be able to support in time, so that the possibility of us being trapped in pairs will be relatively large, I suggest that we still go with four people, one location at a time, it is better. Ye Xiu said.
"Agreed!" Rainfall said.
"Good! Let's start with the lake! ”
The night, the silence is extremely eerie. The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier. But the rain, as if deliberately suppressing its own voice, did not make a sound at all.
In order to prevent further accidents, the interior of each dormitory began to take turns to keep vigils.
At this time, the logistics soldier in one of the dormitories was opening the window, spitting smoke rings out of the window, and even so, he would still glance behind him from time to time.
"! Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, will there be ghosts in the middle of the night? ”
After a few puffs of his cigarette, he snuffed it out. Turning around, leaning against the window, I looked around the bathroom. Immediately, he took out a bell from his pocket and hung it around his neck, and whenever he made a big move, the bell would make a sound. In this way, the roommate will wake up, and the brother in the next bedroom will also come over quickly.
"It should be fine...... It's been a few hours! ”
Thinking that he was very thoughtful, he sat down against the wall and squinted slightly.
At this moment, the water droplets on the bathroom wall suddenly writhed extremely strangely. A large droplet of water twisted into an extremely hideous grimace on the wall, and it split its mouth and moved slightly to the top of the logistics soldier's head.
A pair of white hands slowly and leisurely hung down to his neck like water droplets. In an instant, its hand passed through the logistician's chest and reached into his internal organs.
Almost all of the places that had been touched by those hands had rotted black. In a fit of intense pain, the man opened his eyes and looked up.
A monster with a bloodshot face, a mouth full of fangs, and a big-eyed monster was grinning and staring at him excitedly.
The monster made a quiet gesture towards him.
Then, in terror, his body slowly degenerated into strips of blood. The blood dissolved in large droplets and was sucked into the monster's body. As the blood on the walls vanished, everything returned to its original state. The whole process is completely quiet!
Ye Xiu and the four of them prepared their equipment and came to the vicinity of the lake.
"Later, if there is a water ghost pulling me, you will have to protect me!" Fang Qing said worriedly.
"Okay Qing'er, you're all advanced Kiling warriors, what kind of water ghosts do you believe?" Feiyu patted Fang Qing on the shoulder: "Besides, didn't we have a fight with that crocodile?" I didn't see you scared at that time, did you? ”
"Who knows, there's going to be some in there. I'm just scared! Fang Qing frowned.
"Don't be afraid, if something happens, I can instantly transfer the space that the four of us are in to the shore. This time I went into the water to explore what is in this lake. Ye Yin said.
"Hmmm! Then say okay, Ye Yin, you have to protect me! ”
"Don't be afraid, we'll protect you! Don't forget, we're a team! Let's go, let's get into the water! ”
Ye Yin's hands were sealed, and he saw the dark light shining in his palm, and he shifted slightly. The four of them were surrounded by a transparent circular protective film.
"This oxygen barrier can only help us maintain oxygen supply for an hour at most. Within an hour, we had to leave! Do you understand? ”
"Understood!"
The four of them jumped into the water in unison, and at this moment, the originally bubbled lake, with the aftermath of the turmoil, gushed out a song of white smoke. Eventually, the turbulent lake solidified into ice.
