Chapter 16: Wicks
Moreover, the low roar from behind his head forced Neo to stop the last gesture of touching the mechanism.
The voice was very similar to that of the hungry prairie lion, savage, cruel, and even accompanied by anticipation, an anticipation that could not wait to eat.
That's the voice of a licker!
Judging from the direction of the source of the sound, there is more than one.
The Licker, as the most common monster in the Resident Evil series, runs through all versions.
In the reincarnation space, they are not very strong, and what really gives the reincarnation a headache is their cheap manufacturing cost and the number of easily assembled into a system.
The lickers in front of them can't be compared to the mutated lickers that appear in the international airport, but this time, it's Neo, who is a native of this world, who faces them.
Without the divine gift of the Lord God, there is no space to bless. Neo is not an easy task to kill a licker when his weapons are not advanced enough.
What's more, he faced as many as three heads this time.
In addition to Neo's panic, Cliff's calm attitude is really strange.
It's a licker, an artificial bioweapon that likes the flesh and blood of all living things.
They don't obey human orders like hunters, they are bloodthirsty, destroying all life that comes their way, and in Ambrera, they are often used in areas of indiscriminate attack.
However, Cliff's expression did not seem to show any surprise at the presence of the Licker.
The most suspicious thing is that Cliff didn't even pose the slightest defensive.
"Could it be that these terrifying biochemical weapons are Cliff's minions?"
Thinking of the appearance of the licker in the castle and the taste of Cliff's life here, one can't help but associate the licker in front of him with Cliff.
Cliff clasped his hands around his chest and said casually, "I deliberately called out these little guys. Say hello to my new friend. ”
As he spoke, Cliff's expression turned gloomy and deeply fierce.
He pointed to a licker on the ceiling and gave a new order: "Ados, Neo is my honored guest, do your landlord's friendship on my behalf!" ”
The licker, called "Ados", has his mouth open. The long tongue full of disgusting barbs stretched out and curled, and a bloody breath rushed towards Neo.
The smell was clearly the stench of the fermentation of corpses that had been accumulated for dozens of days.
Just sniffing it is endless torture for the nose.
Neo didn't have time to think about the meaning of Cliff's name "Ados" for a licker, his natural ability was the strongest weapon to restrain humans as a primate, but the biochemical weapon without consciousness was his greatest nemesis.
Neo used the mind absorption of "Ados" with a fluke mentality, and what was fed back was nothing but a series of bloodthirsty greed. Nothing else.
Just as the T-virus destroys the human soul, lickers end up with only the instinct for appetite!
The other two lickers waiting on the left and right sides of the hall wall began to move.
The nose organs of the lickers have been destroyed by the T-virus, and the long scarlet tongue is an important sense of their ingestion of outside temperature and breath. Now, they seem to be deeply attracted by the youthful aura emanating from Neo's body, and a strong appetite occupies their greatest instinct.
They can't help but move their forelimbs and make a prostrate forward position.
It seems that they will attack the only delicacy in front of them at any moment.
Cliff, who had already been pushed to the second floor of the castle hall, couldn't help frowning slightly. He was very dissatisfied with the restlessness of the other two lickers.
"Bordos. Alamis! Give me the honest standing still! Cliff roared, but the target wasn't Neo.
The two restless lickers, let out an unwilling roar, as if protesting against Cliff's impersonal command!
At this moment, Cliff's face became even more ugly!
The green tendons on his forehead burst out, making Cliff, who was full of gentlemanly demeanor, become hideous. It was as if the monk had been possessed by a demon, and his eyes turned from clear to red.
"Leave me where I am, do you want to disobey my orders?"
Under Cliff's heavy drinking, the two lickers trembled, like a paparazzi who had been angrily scolded by their masters. Helplessly, he lowered his horrible head and fell to the ground with his whole body, letting out a baby's wail.
The sight of this moment, no matter what, could not have connected the lickers who were full of violent killing.
That picture simply coincides with ordinary people reprimanding their pet dogs for making mistakes.
"No, it won't! You've domesticated lickers! ”
The conclusion is hard to believe, but what is happening before us shows that this inference is very close to the truth.
Cliff grinned and showed a mouth full of shiny silver teeth: "Dear Neo. Spencer, I forgot to tell you that I threw away my family name a long time ago. Now, my full name is ......"
Cliff paused, then stretched out his slender arms, fully showing the gorgeous parts of the medieval aristocratic clothing in front of Neo: "Cliff. Wix. ”
"Cliff. Wix! ”
Neo looked at Cliff standing on a high place in shock, his mouth wide open, his eyes full of disbelief.
In the West, family names are usually not taken seriously, which has to do with their traditions, and this can be seen in the fact that Westerners put their surnames behind their names.
However, not all Westerners despise the existence of the family.
Like those great nobles who have a heritage of more than 100 years, they regard the honor of their family name higher than anything else.
Spencer, as a big family that has risen for a hundred years, has a completely different pride from ordinary people!
Since the day they were born, they have had a surname that makes outsiders envious and jealous, and they have enjoyed the massive resources brought by the family's wealth, and at the same time, they have been instilled with the education of family honor since they were sensible.
As a genius in the family, Cliff has the mission and obligation to lead the future of the family, and the more outstanding this ability, the more valued by the family elders.
If he blatantly throws away his surname, it will be a naked betrayal for the family, a shameful betrayal of the family's investment of a lot of resources.
This is absolutely not allowed in a large family.
If left unchecked, the foundation on which the family depended would be destroyed.
This is the logic and rules of the big family.
However, Cliff turned his back on his surname in the name of genius.
Could it be that "Wicks", a surname closely related to the Ouroboros Project, is more prominent than a family that stands at the top of the world?
"Plus, I'll tell you a secret. Behind every true 'Wicks', there is an ability to surpass the limits of human beings! ”
Cliff's eyes suddenly flashed with greed: "Besides, since you really have the ability of 'Wicks', then I won't beat around the bush with you!" ”
Neo quickly understood what Cliff meant by "beating around the bush". (To be continued.) )
