1337 Hypnosis
Beetles surged, like a tide engulfed the mysterious experts behind them, within the observation range of the chain judgment, all these small and deadly insects, only in terms of species, should not be the existing natural species, these beetles can suppress and harm the mysterious experts, it must mean that it has a certain degree of mystery, if it is just an ordinary insect that hunts as long as the number, it is completely helpless to the mysterious expert. Only the mysterious can effectively deal with the mystery, although this statement is not entirely true, but I have never seen an ordinary situation that can fight the mystery, and the lowest form is also an anomaly with some luck to fight against the mystery.
It's not normal to face a mysterious expert, oppress them, slay them, and win by a landslide, even if it's just a swarm of bugs.
The area covered by the beetles, which has enveloped the villa area in our area from the very beginning, manipulated the mysterious experts of the beetles, invaded all the villas at the same time in a full-scale manner, and not just against me and Mitsuo Tsukao and others. Staying in the villa area during this time period really can't avoid being monitored by some people with ulterior motives, and hunting at the right time. Moreover, from the perspective of the seminar, they have excluded all "unrelated persons" and relocated all "relevant persons" to mental hospitals, so it is doubtful that those who remain in the villa area are of course questionable.
These simple questions, even Mitsukasu and the others can figure it out, but the reason why the three of them have to stay here is still because they have nowhere to go. Even if they avoid such a conspicuous place as the villa area, the climate and natural environment of this peninsula, as well as the anomalies that spread throughout the peninsula, will take their lives. Instead, the villa is a shelter where ordinary people can survive. Entering the villa area, turning on the lights, and living as in a normal environment is a temptation that no ordinary person can refuse, and it is also an inevitable way for ordinary people to adjust their mentality to cope with the harsh environment.
If you don't. Even if the people in the seminar don't do anything, an ordinary person like Mitsukasuka will collapse under tremendous pressure.
Therefore, I don't think it's stupid for Mitsukashi and others to hide in such a conspicuous place as the villa area, and they are not killing themselves by turning on the lights. Rather, from the point of view of psychology and survival strategies. They did make a rational choice in the worst-case scenario. Judging from the results, the trio did have some luck.
The people who lived in the villas around them, no matter what their identities or intentions, now the results were worse than Mitsukashi and the others. Judging from the observations of the chain judgment, none of the people in the villas were attacked by the beetle swarm. Able to break away at the first time. Although a mysterious expert managed to escape from the house, he was immediately overwhelmed by the swarm. I think. If there is no unique mystery, he is dead.
I don't mean to rescue them. If it were my old self, I would have tried to do it, but now I still have the dream of becoming a hero, but more often than not. My choices tend to favor a small number of people - just the people I care about and love. I can't love all people, let alone strangers, and I'm a stranger who doesn't know who I am and what I want to do. I think if I rush into the swarm. Launching a quick sweep at the first place might have taken more of the people who were attacked, but I still chose to ignore it. I don't think I'm a villain, but I'm no longer a hero.
I actually feel sad about myself like this. It's like a painting depicting your dreams, torn by your own hands.
Even so, I can't help but wonder what will happen if I rescue those people.
I think it's a shameful thing to choose to abandon the lives of others based on the results of your own guesses. It was something I could do, but I did it anyway, even though I felt a little guilty, but I still decided to do it.
As a result, I was in a bad mood.
The beetle swarm was still expanding, and these insects entered the villa as if they had multiplied several times in the villa, and in just a few breaths, they broke through the doors and windows of the villa from the inside, like large beans rolling out of a broken dustpan. The surging beetles branched out and came in my direction. The whole swarm obviously has a unified will, and this will, in a strange posture, is turning into a human form - it is a human form composed entirely of beetles, and the beetles are wrapped around each other, and the outline formed by the beetles is also wriggling with the beetles, giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
My instincts told me that the humanoid form was indeed the essence of the mysterious expert who had attacked the villa - this guy had lost most of his human element in some kind of mystery, and only survived as a swarm, thus gaining the terrifying power he has now.
The humanoid raised his hand towards me, and the swarm that was chasing us suddenly spread its wings and soared into the air, as it turned out that they could still fly. The overwhelming buzz even drowned out the sound of the thunderstorm, and the dense insects almost made it impossible for the rain to land, only to be drenched in vain on the layers of carapace.
Ordinary people can't resist this kind of attack, if it's just an ordinary bug, you can deal with it with technological products such as flamethrowers, but once the bug also has mystery, it will definitely cause some abnormal changes in the fragile self. I've caught a bug and confirmed that it is impossible to pinch it and explode it, with the amount of my flesh. And the strength of such a bug has completely surpassed that of ordinary adults.
How many 10,000 bugs are there in this area now? At my speed, it's no problem to avoid the swarm, but it's not enough to be fast enough to destroy all the bugs and kill the mysterious expert who has assimilated with the swarm. Maybe I could avoid all the bugs in my path and get close to the humanoid for a split second, but if my instincts are true, then killing that humanoid wouldn't be of any use.
The enemy is in every bug, not just a shell made of bugs.
The villa was completely destroyed by bugs before it was out of my range. Ordinary materials such as wood, cement and glass simply cannot stop the destruction of these insects. I proceeded quickly, but it was also a testament to the lightness of the insects destroying these buildings like bubbles. Break with a single stab.
I didn't look back, I didn't stop, the flying bugs were undoubtedly faster and more agile, but it was impossible to catch up with my speed. Although it didn't need to speed up with all his might, after a minute, Shun Lì was already out of the swarm. At least in the field of view, they are no longer completely observable. However, if you stop here, there is still a good chance that you will be overtaken. In terms of insect habits, tracking the smell left by prey is a simple matter.
I stopped and let go of the three Mitsui Tsukao, who gasped for breath with doubts on their faces. In the face of that tidal wave of insects, not many ordinary people can remain calm, and from a certain point of view, a large number of insects is even more incomprehensible than most incomprehensible mysteries, making people feel unsuitable and frightened. Obviously they didn't move much, but the heavy and violent gasps, and the pale face, seemed like they were about to lose their strength.
"What the hell is that?" Mitsukasu said to himself. He held his knees. Bent over and retched for a while. There are probably those bugs who are willing, but. I also don't deny that it's possible that my high-speed Mercedes could also be the culprit. Ordinary people's physiques have to withstand such a fast speed, and they will basically produce extreme discomfort. It's not something that can be compared to sitting in a sports car, and I didn't pull it into the invisible high-speed tunnel, the force of high speed. will be inflicted on him.
Even fortune tellers and fitness instructors are the same, using speed sweep to lead people to gallop at high speed, and taking people into the invisible high-speed channel of speed sweeping, is a completely different concept.
The soothsayer and fitness trainer were pale, but both were women. The physique is obviously much better than that of Mitsukasuka. They were still apprehensive, but soon began to think about what the attack meant to them. Their thoughts are completely visible on their faces, and they can guess even if they don't have to walk consciously. They thought of the worst-case scenario, but they couldn't accept it all at once.
"Is it for us?" The soothsayer shook his head.
"No, to be precise, your use is only to contain Mr. Takakawa." A sudden voice interjected, a hoarse woman, who denied the soothsayer's speculation, "The target from the beginning is Mr. Takakawa. β
Although I didn't notice the man's presence before she spoke, I was not surprised that what could not have happened on the peninsula today. My chain judgment is not "mysterious" in the magic pattern system, but only a "talent" that has evolved to the limit, and there have been too many situations in the past that have proved to me that there are too many things in the mysterious world that cannot be observed by this talent. Although theoretically, everything that is moving can be observed with chain judgment, and the accuracy can reach the distance of fine dust, in practice, there is a limit to the positioning of this ability.
The woman came out of the trunk of the tree as if she had been hiding there, and when she came out, the tree began to wither, from the shriveling of the leaves to the drying and tearing of all the branches, in no more than three seconds. When Mitsui Tsukao saw this woman, he had a stunned expression, and his movements were completely frozen, and his shocked expression was like seeing an acquaintance who shouldn't be here.
"Yes, it's you? No, no, you should be dead! As Mitsukao screamed, I pulled him behind me and stood in front of the soothsayer and fitness instructor. The expressions of these two women are also very wrong, although Cheng DΓΉ is not as exaggerated as Mitsui Tsukao, but they also look like they have seen a ghost, and it is not just because of the strange appearance of this female mysterious expert in front of them.
"You know?" I looked at the female occultist and asked the three behind me.
However, Mitsukasuka, the soothsayer, and the fitness trainer each name three different names. During the observation of the chain judgment, the three of them all looked at each other in surprise after saying different names, and they did not seem to have expected such a situation at all. However, my intuition gave me a rough idea of what was going on.
"The woman in front of you is not the one you know." I affirmed, "She's just letting you see her and think she's the one you know." β
"You mean...... Hallucination? The soothsayer was stunned and asked, "We were hypnotized in an instant?" β
"Whether it's hypnosis or not, I can't say for sure, but obviously, the person you see each other is probably different from the one in front of me." I'm not sure if the woman in front of me is what she really is. While my intuition led me to make such assumptions, was I influenced by it myself? What I know for sure is that this is by no means the power of conscious walking.
"It's hypnosis." The woman in front of her didn't seem to be in a hurry to make a move, and said in a flat, slow, hoarse voice: "When you hear my voice, it's an introduction, and then, using the abnormal image as a switch, you will fall into a partial hypnotic state for a moment." Of course, you are not aware of where you are and how you have changed. β
"Something unusual...... The tree? I asked hesitantly.
"Yes, I don't have the power to make a tree wither, but I can see the withering of a tree. And the process of withering is also a hint of hypnotic nature. The woman seemed to come to her senses again: "Ah, what's the use of saying this to you? Then he smiled calmly and said, "Of course it is useful, I never do useless work." Only by explaining can we make the maximum amount of power effective. β
When she finished saying this, in the observation of the chain judgment, Mitsui Tsukafu, the fortune teller and the fitness coach behind her all had a stunned expression, as if they wanted to say something, but the small and sluggish movements seemed to have slowed down dozens of times.
"Their physical time has entered a delayed state, and I want to let them escape by themselves, but they can't. Mr. Takakawa. The female occultist smiled blandly.
"But, it didn't help me." I said, "What I see now is what you really are." Your hypnotic ......"
"Ah, shouldn't I be surprised?" The female occultist seemed to be a little distressed: "However, it has no effect on you, and it is also in the plan, so there is no reason to be surprised." (To be continued......)
