Chapter Seventy-Three: The Academy (9)

"Shouting what?" Ariana frowned. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"This, this, this, this ......" Lu Xun's face turned pale, and he trembled and pointed to the dry corpse hanging from the ceiling in front of him, "What the hell is this?" ”

The young man took a step back, and the dry black mummy was about a meter long, like a piece of wood that had been smoked for half a year, with shriveled cheeks and hollow eyes, but the most amazing thing was that the thing was a fishtail from the waist down, and a thick hemp rope tied its tail to hang it from the roof.

"Mermaids?" Lu Xun rubbed his chin and approached the dried corpse to take a closer look, this thing's face was shriveled, the staggered canine teeth were exposed, and the two sharp claws, "If the mermaid grows into this virtue...... So isn't Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale a horror story? ”

"That's the mascot." Ariana replied, "Hang it at the door to ward off evil spirits, my eighteenth birthday present...... The Fijian mermaid, which shocked the world when it was discovered in 1842, led many people to think that the mermaid was a real creature, but then the hoax was revealed, and the specimen was actually put together from the carcass of a monkey and a fish, and the specimen ended up in the hands of the Colonel, who gave it to me as a birthday present. ”

Lu Xun was amazed, he finally saw the extraordinary members of the hummingbird hunting team...... Or strangely, the average girl's birthday present is either a plush toy or a sparkling piece of jewelry, but Ariana's birthday present is a dried corpse that is ugly enough to give nightmares at night.

It's just a birthday gift for the dried corpse, and it is still hanging at the door...... Are you trying to scare everyone who walks through the door?

Lu Xun stepped into the room and looked around.

Through the mask, the young man could see the tall wooden shelves lined up on the wall, the shelves were filled with bottles and jars, each glass jar was soaked in pale limbs and internal organs, most of the specimens had been cut horizontally or vertically, Lu Xun could not make out their original appearance, and a few specimens remained intact...... For example, in the corner of the wall, there was a large glass jar with a half-meter long white lizard, which curled up in a circle with its eyes closed, suspended in formalin solution, like sleeping in the amniotic fluid of the womb.

Lu Xun realizes that in a sense, Ariana and the cat demon are the same creature...... It's all perverted, it's just that the cat demon likes to hang people's corpses on the ceiling of the bedroom in turn, and Ariana likes to cut the corpses of zombies and hunters into pieces and soak them in jars, in the eyes of zombies and hunters, Ariana's image is probably as terrifying as the cat demon in the eyes of Lu Xun.

In the center of the room was a long metal table, on which was placed something, covered with a green plastic sheet, about a meter long.

Ariana put on her gloves, turned on the shadowless lamp overhead, and then dragged the heavy toolbox out of the cabinet, the box opened and startled Lu Xun, all day long shiny sharp weapons, swords, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, eighteen kinds of weapons.

"Are we going to dissect this thing?" Lu Xun pointed to the plastic sheeting on the metal dissecting table.

The girl nodded, "Normally, the hummingbird team will bring a sample of the target when they come back from a mission, and our task is to do a rough examination and analysis of it, and then give an autopsy report. ”

Ariana lifted the plastic sheeting, exposing a severed limb to the two of them.

The amputated limb had a knee joint that folded backwards and looked like the calf of some kind of reptile, with no fur or scales on the surface, and a little yellowish fluid splashed on the skin.

Ariana flipped the broken leg over, and the section was so smooth that it looked like it had been severed by some sharp weapon, including muscles and bones.

The girl was slightly stunned.

"Oh...... What a knife skill. Lu Xun probed his brain on the side, "Gossip knife technique?" ”

"Bagua Knife Technique?" Ariana frowned, "What's that?" ”

"Our Chinese nation's broad and profound traditional martial arts ......" Lu Xun opened the shelf, lifted one foot, held his right hand weakly, and then turned around sharply and pushed it out, "Bagua Knife Technique Twenty-first Style, the Tiger Turns Back!" ”

He then took two steps forward and shouted, "Twenty-second style, push the boat down the river!" ”

Lu Xun was wearing a wide protective suit, singing and looking at each other, as if he was singing Peking Opera.

Ariana burst out laughing.

"How?" Lu Xun was a little proud, "My kung fu is okay, right?" ”

"If you let the old instructors who taught you martial arts know that the ultimate goal of your sword practice is to make the little girl laugh, they will be so angry that they will split you alive." Lao Jia reminded sullenly.

"Die, die." Lu Xun pouted, "This ghost place is empty, and there is a piece of kung fu for a fart?" Without the Kestrel Mecha, even if you were Huang Feihong alive, the hunter would be able to crush you to death with one finger. ”

"Can you tell the knife by looking at the wound?" The girl asked, tilting her head.

Lu Xun shook his head, "Impossible...... I was just now, you use a machete and a kitchen knife to cut people are all a result, and the ghost can see it. ”

The girl nodded, lowered her head and lifted the scalpel, slowly slicing through the skin and muscles of the severed limb.

"Another ......," Ariana said in a low voice, a little surprised and a little heavy.

"What's wrong?" Lu Xun asked.

"This is the third head of the month." Ariana replied, "The third marauder to be killed." ”

Killed marauders? What's so strange about that...... Isn't the task of the hummingbird hunting team to kill the hunters? Lu Xun was puzzled, every time a monster like a marauder died, the threat of hunters to humans was reduced by one point, which was obviously a good thing.

"It wasn't killed by the hummingbird team." Ariana continued.

Lu Xun was stunned, wasn't he killed by the hummingbird team?

"This marauder ...... Killed by some more powerful, terrifying creature. "That creature is far more ferocious than normal zombies and hunters, and it kills everything in its territory, and even a marauder can't escape it." ”

"Aren't Marauders already the highest hunters?" Lu Xun was taken aback, "What can kill a marauder?" Super Predator? ”

"Not a super predator." Ariana shook her head, "There should be a higher level above the Marauders, and the hunters of that level have the strength to crush the Marauders, and I have speculated about the mutation and evolution mechanism of the Hunters a long time ago, according to my theories and calculations...... One in every 10,000 marauders has the potential to mutate, and this mutation is no longer a simple change in body form and structure, but a more advanced 'jump'. ”

"Jump...... Jump? Lu Xun didn't understand the meaning of the word.

"To use an analogy, it's like the difference between 89 and 90 points...... The Marauder is on the level of eighty to eighty-nine, and no matter how powerful the Marauder is, it is at the level of eighty. "But the higher hunters are no longer eighty-five to eighty-six, but from eighty-nine to ninety, and although the difference between the two is one point, the latter is a 'jump', from eighty to ninety, in a word, 'qualitative change caused by quantitative change'." ”

“…… Qualitative? ”

The girl nodded with a serious face, "It will be a higher level of life, it may have a higher intelligence, a higher predatory method, or even a more powerful life force, it may have a great strength that we have never seen before, strong enough to crush the entire hummingbird group." ”

Lu Xun was stunned.

"But the most terrifying thing is ......" Suddenly someone spoke, and a crisp female voice sounded in the doorway, "that monster has threatened us." ”

Lu Xun and Ariana turned their heads suddenly, a slender and bright shadow leaned against the door frame, gently playing with the Fijian mermaid hanging in front of them, and the slender girl turned her head and smiled at the two people in the dissection room, "Hello." ”
