Chapter 57: Fear Descends (25)
"Hmm." Yechen replied simply, and said to Hannah next to him, "Okay, let's go in." ”
Hannah nodded, and walked into the fog first, Yechen followed, followed by Huang Rui and Tang Wu, and Lu Ran, who walked last, took the harmonica and guarded the surroundings.
As soon as they entered the fog, they felt as if they had crossed some kind of boundary.
Outside, it was a crisp clear autumn sky, but on Tanan Road, the sky was overcast, and even the sun couldn't be seen, and I didn't know when it was - according to Huang Rui, the last time they entered the Minggui Hotel, there was a time disorder, obviously they entered in the morning, but it suddenly turned out to be late at night, and it was really night after escaping.
I don't know if it's because of the dark clouds covering the sun, causing the temperature in this area to be much lower than outside, obviously it's still early autumn, but the breeze sweeps, there is actually a sense of yin and biting.
Tanan Road, although it is an urban village, is a lively and prosperous place. The people here are fierce, disobedient to discipline, and there are no big enterprises, large companies move in, there is not much tax, in a capital country, whether it is Xiling District or Wuyin District, I don't want to care, slowly, it has really become a three-regardless area.
And so, sin began to grow here. Stealing, robbing, rape, gambling, selling, using hallucinogens...... Every nook and cranny of the place, every brick and tile, is soaked in evil thoughts, a bit like the slums of Sinde and Likas. The strange thing is that such a place of sin, but not occupied by gangs, seems to have really become a place of abandonment, and even the abyss of sin is not willing to touch.
As a result, the area is even more chaotic. But because of the chaos, it creates a special prosperity. Many transactions that do not see the light are carried out here, and they are withdrawn immediately after the transaction, but there are many people who are full of despair in their hearts and live in torment, and in this cruel society, such people are not uncommon.
Now, the whole Tanan Road is cold, whether it is the bustle of the day or the hustle and bustle of the night, it is gone, a gust of wind blows, blowing up the dead leaves that fall on the ground, flying and drifting, and it seems to be lonely and sad.
The mist was so thick that it was impossible to see clearly from a distance, and in the depths of the fog, there seemed to be a lot of danger brewing.
It's out of control here, Yechen frowns slightly.
Tanan Road administratively belongs to Xiling District, and is in charge of the Awakened Organization in Xiling District, so of course Yechen will not be ignorant of what is happening here, in fact, the supernatural research laboratories are involved in this matter. But now, with the infiltration of multiple forces, this area has completely lost control. The forces are mixed with each other, and Tanan Road has really become a ghost.
"Let's go." Yechen sighed slightly, if it wasn't out of control here, why would he come here in person.
"Yes, Miss Chen." Hannah answered, still walking in front, carefully observing her surroundings and opening the way ahead.
According to the report submitted by Huang Rui, the source of this supernatural event is in the Minggui Hotel located in the center of the block, and Yechen plans to go there to see it first, and he doesn't know what has become of the Minggui Hotel now.
After walking for five or six minutes, Hannah at the front stopped and reminded softly, "There is a situation, be careful." ”
Yechen stopped and listened, and sure enough, a small footstep came from the front.
In addition to the main road of Tanan Road, there are many small alleys and alleys next to it, and the sound should come from the small alley in front.
The sound is getting louder and clearer...... Something is coming out!
Hannah bowed slightly, mobilized the strength in her body, and a pair of fists with fingers floated a bloody glimmer, ready to fight at any time.
A little boy walked out of the alley, looking less than ten years old, about a meter tall, with thin cheeks, yellow hair, and a malnourished appearance. He was wearing an adult-style red windbreaker, and it was also a women's one, I don't know where to pick it up, it didn't fit, and he was short and dragged it directly to the ground, looking very bloated. The little boy was carrying a large woven bag in his hand, which was tinkling, and he didn't know what it contained.
Hannah didn't act rashly, just looked at the little boy who was scavenging. If it is not unusual for a little boy to appear on Tanan Road before, this is a chaotic place. But now, who knows if this little boy is a human or a ghost, even if it is a human, it may be very dangerous.
After walking out of the alley, the little boy dragged the woven bag, just stood in the middle of Tanan Road, looked at Yechen and them, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" ”
Hannah was a little undecided, this little boy had a shadow, his voice was normal, his soul fluctuated steadily, it seemed that he was really a person, should he kill him directly, or ...... Grab it and ask for some information out of his mouth?
At this time, Yechen's voice came from behind: "Shoot." ”
"Yes." Hannah answered, and didn't ask why, since Miss Chen said to make a move, then no matter whether there is a person or a ghost in front of her, just use your fist to destroy it.
The sturdy woman's legs exerted force, and the whole person rushed in front of the little boy like an arrow from the string, and a fist hit the little boy's cheek with the momentum of thunder.
Clang...... The little boy folded his hands and blocked Hannah's punch, which was only a fist and an arm, but it made a golden sound.
Without shattering his arm bones, this was really not an ordinary person, Hannah did not spare the slightest hand, dodged and rushed over again.
The little boy flashed again, his eyes fixed on Hannah, his hands gone, and his arms changed from elbows to blades like the forelimbs of a praying mantis, with serrated edges, glittering cold, and bloodstains.
Seeing this scene, Lu Ran's eyes flashed with surprise, he looked at Ye Chen, and asked with some concern: "Miss Chen, ...... you look?"
The appearance of the little boy who scavenged is not quite like the witch ghosts that often appear in Xiling District, but is a bit similar to the demons in Konia District.
Although they both belong to the same powerful ghosts, the common witch ghost attacks in Xiling District are strange and unpredictable, their figures are erratic, and their sustenances are strange. The so-called demons are different, their sustenance is often their own corpses, or bodies, the biggest feature is that part of the body can be transformed into other creatures, called demonization, similar to the untransformed demon in fantasy legends. Of course, the origin of demons and ghosts is still people, not demons.
Observing the characteristics of the demonized parts of the demon, it can be inferred that the power of the demon is focused, for example, this little boy, his hands are turned into the forelimbs of a praying mantis, then its attack method focuses on rapid attack, like a praying mantis, once it strikes, it is lightning fast.
There are several types of ghosts in Ryan City, and although there is no clear boundary between them, they are still rarely crossed by the limit. Now, there is a demon ghost in Xiling District, and Lu Ran is worried about whether there will be an invasion of powerful ghosts, that is, the powerful ghosts in a certain area will migrate and invade other areas.
Yechen said: "No, there is only one demon ghost, maybe he escaped." "Some ghosts are completely dominated by obsession and act insanely, but many will retain their biological instincts and flee to save their lives if they encounter a threat that is difficult to deal with.
After a slight pause, Yechen continued: "It's better to worry about Hannah, you can block Hannah's fist with your arms, the demonization of this demon is definitely more than this, you are ready to support at any time." "Generally speaking, the deeper the demonization of a demon, the stronger its strength becomes, and it is said that an A-class demon can already be completely transformed into a monster.
Sure enough, being attacked by Hannah again and again, the little boy who scavenged the waste, that is, the mantis demon ghost, couldn't hide it, and the wide trench coat on his body was torn, revealing his torso. The little boy has been completely demonized into an insect-like bloated belly from the chest down, and his legs have become hind limbs like praying mantises.
Lu Ran was taken aback, this degree of demonization is estimated to have exceeded the C-level, and is about to reach the B-level, Hannah herself is a C-level awakened person, and it will be very difficult to fight against the same level of powerful ghosts, not to mention facing ghosts that are more powerful than her.
Lu Ran hurriedly picked up the harmonica and played it. The harmonica's timbre is light and lively, which goes well with blues and country music, but Lu Ran's harmonica timbre has a kind of hoarseness and vicissitudes, similar to the smoke voice in the singer, which is very different, but it is charming.
""Deflagration" ......" Huang Rui said softly, Lu Ran knows five songs, this "Deflagration" has the most powerful aggressiveness, and he will go all out as soon as he makes a move, it seems that this mantis demon is indeed not simple.
As the trench coat that covered her body was torn, and the mantis demon was no longer hidden, Hannah was a little overwhelmed. The attack of the praying mantis demon ghost was swift and powerful, and a blade was cut down, she had no time to dodge, so she could only wave her fist to resist, and as a result, she was directly knocked out and smashed on the wall on the side of the street, her face was flushed, and it seemed that her internal organs were injured.
Hannah had just swallowed a mouthful of blood when she saw that the mantis demon had rushed in front of her, and although her arms could still be waved, she was injured, and her breath did not slow down, and her strength could not be condensed, and if she resisted hard, she might be split in half.
At this moment, with a bang, the blade of the left arm of the mantis demon exploded, although it did not blow up the entire left arm, but the bone blade had already cracked, and if it was slashed with such force, it might really shatter.
Lu Ran's assist made the mantis demon ghost's attack pause, giving Hannah a precious respite, and she mobilized the power in her body again, condensed it into her fist, and hit it towards the mantis demon ghost's heart.
The mantis demon retreated as he folded his arms in his heart. It happened suddenly, and it didn't have time to think about it, and according to custom, it blocked its left arm in front and its right arm in the back. As a result, Hannah desperately punched the mantis demon in the left arm.
There was a soft click, and a large number of cracks appeared in the left arm of the mantis demon, and it almost shattered.
