[3.5] Aria
Instinctively tightening up, I covered my ears and opened my eyes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
A cloud of dust filled my body, and fragments of glass windows were scattered around my body, and the tall floor-to-ceiling windows were shattered in an instant, and the broken window frames and shards of glass were scattered all over the ground.
Little by little, the dust cleared, and I squinted my eyes, looking through the floating particles, and I saw that the little girl who had been singing before had disappeared, and a large black shadow stood in front of the shattered floor-to-ceiling window, his shadow looming over the rows of wooden benches next to it, and after seeing the creature clearly, a wave of fear crept up into my heart—it was huge, about a story high, leaning forward slightly, maintaining a posture similar to that of a chimpanzee. Its forearms are covered with black curly hair, but its body is smooth skin, occasionally with short hairs at the joints, its eyes are closed, its mouth is half-open and its fangs are exposed, its two long arms support its upper body against the carpet, its palms are about half the length of a bench, its sharp claws are stained with dark red liquid, and what is even more chilling is that there are many oval bumps from his abdomen to his dorsal side, and the surface of those black bumps is smooth and uneven, and if I look closely, I can see that it is a human head! Old man, woman, man...... Different appearances, different ages, their heads seem to have grown out of this monster's body, the sunken eye sockets, the curvature of the bridge of the nose, and the closed lips......
But they all had their eyes closed, and the skin on their cheeks stretched with the monster's movements.
The black monster roared, a putrid smell emanating from its body, the ceiling shook with its roar, it had no tail, its hind limbs were slightly shorter than its forelimbs, it lifted its forelimbs, and with one palm it smashed another pillar on the left, and the concrete block fell to the ground, and in a hurry, I saw Andrew in a half-crouching position, directly in front of the monster, holding a pistol, the muzzle of which was facing the monster.
Andrew......
I looked at his narrowed eyes, which seemed to signal danger.
It turned out that he pushed me away for a moment, so that I was not stoned to death by this monster......
I breathed uneasily as I watched the confrontation unfold.
Will he be able to repel this behemoth?
The monster leaned forward slightly, its chin raised, its mouth closed, its throat stirred and a low, dark sound, Andrew calmly looked at the behemoth in front of him, held his breath, and slowly raised his right hand holding the gun with his left hand.
The muzzle of his gun moved from side to side as the monster moved, and I breathed carefully.
"Bang-"
A gunshot instantly pierced the air, and in an instant, monster blood burst out.
"Roar—"
Then there was an even more ferocious roar of the monster.
I watched as the monster stood up, its back slamming against the ceiling, a crack in the ceiling, and the chandelier shook a few times, crumbling.
I quickly crouched to my feet, stepped over a cloud of broken glass, and lowered myself to the back of the pillar.
Andrew threw a grim look at me, like a glimmer on his back.
…… It seems that blaming me has caused him a lot of trouble.
"Click."
Andrew tried to shoot again, but the pistol ran out of ammunition.
My heart tightened.
Without hesitation, Andrew threw down his pistol, half-crouched down, crossed his arms and instantly pulled out two daggers fixed to the outside of his thighs with his backhand. Enraged by Andrew, the monster stood up and slammed his palm down on him. I screamed no, but Andrew dodged out of the way, his black shoes stepping over the soft carpet, and the monster behind him crumbled the hard marble tiles. Andrew stomped on a shard of glass along the zigzag route and made a detour to the left side of the monster, the monster listened to his movement with his ears and clenched his fist and swung it down at him, Andrew lowered his body and turned his head to dodge, and the dagger held in his left backhand stabbed hard into the muscles of its forearm as the monster's fist smashed a small hole in the ground.
All the dodges are handled neatly.
Even if he deviated a few centimeters, he would be slapped into a pulp by the monster's big palm.
The monster roared angrily, the dagger wasn't enough to do much damage to its thick fur forearms. The monster raised its stabbed forearm and let out a menacing roar in its throat. Andrew gripped the dagger tightly and was instantly carried off the ground by it.
Worst......
I forgot to breathe, instinctively covered my mouth with my hand, and watched Andrew hold the dagger, his body hanging in the air, without much hesitation, he immediately plunged another dagger into its abdomen, and with a strong backhand, cut a long and narrow wound in an instant. The monster roared, its cry filled with anger from pain, and I saw five or six digested corpses flowing out of its sliced abdomen, sticky yellow digestive juices wrapped around the corpses, exuding a disgusting smell, and my stomach churned.
this thing.
Cannibalism......
Andrew stabbed the dagger deeper into its forearm, he spun and pulled out the dagger in his left hand, climbing up its forelimbs, and the monster was deep in the other forearm trying to grab the nimble black man, but he instantly let go of the dagger in his right hand and stepped on its forearm, his right hand firmly clinging to its blood-covered fangs.
"Chop!"
He gritted his teeth and plunged the only dagger he had left into the eye socket of the other.
"Whew-"
The roar of pain was earth-shattering, and I clutched my ears against the cold pillar. The blood pumped out instantly, and the moment Andrew drew the dagger, I saw a spherical object stuck to the dagger, and with a flick of his hand, he threw the spherical object on the dagger to the ground, and there was still a little slime sticking to the dagger. The monster roared, its head fluttering its forelimbs, breaking the pillar in front of me.
I looked up and saw the stump pillar smashing down towards me, I instinctively threw my body out to the right, "bang-" The smashed concrete fell to my side in large pieces, and the next moment I fell to the ground, rolling a few meters due to inertia, the glass shards on the ground instantly cut my cheeks, the splinters pierced into the skin, and there was a piercing pain. The ground shook, and I lay on the ground, panting in horror, looking up at Andrew and the monster scuffling in front of me. All he had was a dagger left, and he clinged to the bulge of its face, dodging the massive palm that each monster swung down.
His body was crumbling, and the monster shook its head, as if it was about to throw him against the wall in one fell swoop.
He's going to be smashed into a puddle of mud!
I gritted my teeth and looked at Andrew, who was alone.
What to do!
Pulling out the pistol hidden in the back of the waist, I aimed the muzzle of the black hole at the monster's fangs.
I sat in the middle of a pile of mud, and I took a deep breath and clenched my pistol tightly in both hands, trying to slow the muzzle of the gun.
Fear? Disturbed? Flurried?
Which one feels more?
I couldn't tell, my eyes wandered, and I looked at the monsters and Andrew who were scuffling together in front of me.
Where to aim?
The upper body of a monster? Nape? Head? Nose? Forehead?
Where is it?!
"Eyes!" Andrew yelled at me.
I was stunned for a moment, looking at the monster's two bloody eyes.
He's right.
The orbit is where the brain is connected......
I adjusted the muzzle of my gun and aimed it at the monster's eye.
I breathed heavily, urging myself to pull the trigger, but another unsettling possibility made me hesitate.
What do I do if I miss Andrew?
I squinted and hesitated, watching Andrew gritted his teeth and dodged, his stamina was so depleted that I didn't know how long he would last.
How sure are you?
I took a breath and held my breath.
I don't know how sure I am.
But if I don't do anything, there's nothing possible!
In the next second, the monster grabbed Andrew's right leg and threw him out with all his might.
Now is the time!
"Bang-"
Pull the trigger, a huge gunshot.
I almost lost hearing for a moment, my ears rang, and the recoil of the pistol threw me all backwards to the ground.
The bullet pierced the monster's cheekbones in an instant, and the whole church seemed to shake with a tearing roar, followed by the sound of flesh falling to the ground, shattering the glass all over the floor, my head was dizzy, and my palms were numb and painful, and I fell to the ground on my side, squinting at the monster climbing out of the window and disappearing from sight.
Andrew......
After a moment's pause, I stood up and subconsciously searched for the figure.
The ground was in shambles, and my gaze touched a body that had fallen to the ground with its back to me.
I didn't think much about it, so I hurriedly crawled over, and the glass slag pierced into the palm of my hand without realizing it.
I knelt beside him, straightened his body, and rested on my lap.
His eyes were closed, new wounds large and small on his body, a narrow scratch on his arm was shocking, his clothes were torn, his muscles turned out, and he could see the deep musculature, and blood was gurgling down his arm, dripping on the ground, I wanted to hold down the bleeding wound, but the warm blood kept spilling from between my fingers.
The smell of blood spreads.
Andrew ......
I carefully hugged his upper body and looked at him nervously.
He didn't respond, pursed his lower lip and closed his eyes.
I was stunned and remembered the last thing I saw, where he was grabbed by the monster by the leg and thrown out. Did it slam him hard against the pillar and shatter his guts?
Not daring to think about it, I tentatively reached for his nose, but suddenly stopped.
At this moment, I was suddenly afraid to verify a certain conjecture.
I killed him.
Panic, helplessness, and fear of the unknown gradually spread. Like layers of silkworm cocoons, wrapping me layer by layer. I stared at Andrew, with his eyes closed, and my mind went blank.
My hands stopped in front of the tip of his nose in a dejected manner, strands of hair hanging down the sides of my cheeks, and I fell silent.
Deathly silence.
Gradually, the hollow, blank came from all directions, as if to slowly devour my heart, I didn't say a word, I could only let the world around me and myself seem to gradually separate a layer of invisible white fog, I wanted to stretch out my hand to remove the layer of white fog, but no matter how I stretched out my hand, I could only get a hand full of cold, loneliness, instantly from all directions, like the most chilling wind in winter, wrapped in frost that could not be dissolved, piercing the spine.
The white mist gradually turned into a darkness that could not be seen.
I lost the last bit of light I could seek.
"Ahem......"
Someone suddenly coughed.
My thoughts, as if slowly pulled back from the darkness by a thread, came back to my senses and lowered my head slightly.
Andrew opened his eyes a little tired, as if he had just gone through a hibernation.
He looked at me in silence.
I opened my mouth, but I didn't know what to say, only a hoarse sound.
"I can't die." Andrew replied lightly.
“…… I'm sorry. ”
"I just don't like it." Andrew sat up slightly, the wound on his body was slightly torn by his movements, and he frowned, "Help me." I helped him to sit up, he tried to move his right leg, but the moment I pulled his right foot I saw his expression clenching his teeth, the guilt in his heart was a few more layers, his left hand supported his body, Andrew sat up with the strength of his arm, he bent his left leg, and put his left hand on his knee.
He sat next to me, looked at me with a gloomy face, and raised his hand to rub my hair.
"Why are you here?" Andrew looked up at the messy side hall.
"I heard the singing just now, and I followed the singing to find here, and when I entered the door, I saw a little girl standing in front of the window singing." I turned my face slightly to look at the shattered window. The sunlight brushed over the remaining window frames and shone on the glass residue on the floor, reflecting the light slightly.
Just a few minutes ago, everything was so calm and beautiful.
And now, everything has been destroyed to the slightest.
"Little girl?"
"Well, long hair, white dress, seven or eight years old, but strange, now gone......" My gaze was still fixed on the broken window frame.
After hearing no answer for a long time, I turned my head and saw Andrew's expression of silence.
Did he think of something?
I was about to open my mouth when he coughed violently, and I slowly patted him on the back.
He may have injured his lungs......
When I fall to the ground.
"Ahem...... That thing just now, it's called a ghoul. ”
"Ghouls?" The thought of a monster covered in pitch black and with human heads all over its waist brought a chill down my spine.
"Feeding on the living, occasionally eating corpses that are not yet cold, and the heads you see are the poor ones that have been eaten by it." Andrew calmly wiped the blood coughed up from the corner of his mouth, and his throat was a little hoarse because of it, "Next time I see it, stay away." ”
It was as if he was repeating it to himself, but it was more like telling me.
I looked at his dust-stained side face, at this moment, an inexplicable sense of familiarity slowly came to my heart, very familiar, listening to his deep voice, just like listening to a father telling his daughter to pay attention to safety on the way to school, away from those young people who wear earrings and smoke cigarettes, people feel inexplicably relieved, it seems that it has been a long time, and I have not embraced such peace of mind.
I nodded silently.
"What now?"
"Church Library." He added calmly and with a little confidence, "I won't go around in circles this time." ”
“…… So, you just got lost? ”
"Go to ****** designer, every corridor looks the same."
