Chapter 2: Isa's Mansion Chapter 15: Wax Figures
The city is still brightly lit in the early hours of the morning, there are not many pedestrians on the streets, and the street lights are dim. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Ji sat in the back seat, and beside him lay a sleeping woman. The pale driver drove the car with a blank look. The headlights shone by, and some figures faintly flashed on the side of the road, fast and blurry, as if there were eyes looking at Wang Ji, and there didn't seem to be. The real world is only the noise of the wheels rolling on the road.
The city at night is quiet and quiet.
It took about 15 minutes for Wang Ji to return to the bar.
Along the way, he looked out the window at night. Maybe it was because of someone protecting him that he didn't see any unknown creatures looking for him, and this time he came back safely.
"Three men and one woman over there, they only met today. The little girl is very stupid and young, and she is not looking like it. If you are taken away by three men like this, it is hard to guarantee that something will happen that you will regret. You take the men away and send the girls home. Remember, don't take advantage of it. Come back in half an hour. ”
Lily said to Wang Ji, who came back.
It was only then that Wang Ji understood that the main work of his part-time job still revolved around women. He asked Lily, "Why don't you just call your demons?" I believe they are more efficient than I am. ”
"You have to have to have it, because they crave blood more than you see steak when you're hungry, kid."
Lily seemed to be smiling in the dark.
……
It was getting to the early hours of the morning.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Wang Ji sent away the last drunken female guest. When the commuting was finally over, he stood at the bar and said to Lily, who was sitting in the dark, "If I could, I'd like to rest at the bar tonight." ”
"Are you scared to go out?"
Lily's tone of inquiry was soft, and her bright eyes turned to look at Wang Ji from behind the pitch-black bar.
"Yes."
Wang Ji did not shy away from it. He didn't think he could easily get into danger if he wasn't armed. He hadn't really come into contact with Lady Isa's mansion yet, and there was no reason why he would put himself in danger so quickly.
"But you don't look scared at all." Lily smiled, "The Daredevil costume has already been traded to you. You have to go home alone. You think it's a pointless adventure, but it's better to see something incredible in advance than to be caught off guard. You should be being an independent hunter now, do you know what independence is? ”
……
3:40 a.m.
Wang Ji walked back to the community. In the end, Lily didn't agree to let him stay at the bar. The Daredevil Costume deal was done, and instead of backing down, he should step up. Although Wang Ji knew that the danger he faced was not at all afraid of meaning. The Isha Mansion he wants to investigate, not the unidentified creatures who threw him in pursuit. At this time, he can only comfort himself, so he should appreciate it in advance. It's dangerous, but it should be worth it.
Night to the coolest place.
The building he lives in is only seven stories high, built early in the community, and has no elevators. In terms of planning, the building seems to have been specially prepared for rental. It looks like a staff dormitory, cluttered and has traces of time. Weeds still grow in the corners. It was the middle of the night, and there were cats barking and dogs barking in the community. Woke up a few voice-activated lights in the south corridor. Other than that, the west and north sides are mostly completely dark.
"The light is broken."
Wang Ji said quietly.
His house is on the 6th floor of the north building, and the voice-activated lights from the first floor to the sixth floor are all dimmed, except for the seventh floor. He still vividly remembers coming home last night when the voice-activated lights on the north building were intact. But today it's all broken. For no reason, he felt a threat, touched his chest, and he chose to go upstairs from the south side.
From the south building through the corridor of the west building, he can still return home.
"It's possible that they've come looking for me, but instead of me, they've found my home. Now that they're here, let's see what unknown creatures they are! ”
He thought so.
Thinking about it made him feel a dull pain in his chest. It was the scar from his recent death. The Daredevil costume was implanted in the scar on his chest. It was a dark garment so dark that you could see it in, and it was almost so light that you couldn't feel the weight in your hand, and it was so thin that it looked like it couldn't hide your body at all. But when Wang Ji held the Daredevil suit close to his chest, the tattered garment was like an awakened evil spirit, and slammed into his chest, burrowing into the scar on his chest.
At the top of the stairs, as Wang Ji stepped on the stairs, he suddenly heard some slight noises. The sound came from the upper floors, like a dragging body crawling. There was a thud, and the light bulb in the corner of the hallway exploded. Darkness invaded, and Wang Ji immediately pressed his hand to his chest. Immediately afterward, the Daredevil suit that seemed to be burning quickly spread to all corners of his body, including his feet and his head.
Only his eyes shimmered in a dark shadow, shimmering with a strange blood-red six-pointed starlight. Wang Ji noticed that his vision had also undergone some subtle changes, this feeling was extremely difficult to explain, the dark world was gray, and a little whitish, and every detail in the silent night became rich and full, unfolding in front of his eyes.
Before his eyes, a black mist began to spread down the staircase that went up the corner of the staircase. The sound of dragging in the silent night became clearer and clearer, like a pile of rotten meat dragging on the ground, and at this moment he also felt his hair growing, and soon, the long hair of the ink rain merged with the night demon costume, and hung down with a mysterious magic, hiding in the darkness with him.
He looked up and saw a pile of decomposing corpses dragging their legs down the stairs on the second floor, they had no heads. Hollow, rotting bodies swayed in the night. Wang Ji quickly retreated, hiding in the darkness. Leaning over to the side, I listened to some shrill sounds. It was supposed to be a nail or something, and there was a sharp movement when it rubbed against the floor.
The corpse-like monster slowly turned to the corner of the stairs, and suddenly pounced, falling to a floor and falling into a pile of mud. Its sharp nails punctured the rotten flesh of its abdomen, and grasping this knuckle, Wang Ji leaped forward, turned and jumped up the corner of the stairs, the restless Daredevil's costume was like a tattered wizard's robe, fluttering with its long hair, jagged corners and lightly dancing hairlines swept with the night wind, like a fluctuating flames of nothingness.
At such an instant, his body was as light as a feather, but it had its own direction and quality, and he flew a distance of several meters with just a slight leap, landing silently without making a sound.
Crunch!
The pair of rotten flesh that had been smashed into a pile actually got back on their feet. In Wang Ji's eyes, he clearly saw that wisps of black mist escaped from the second layer, and the wisps entered the corpse of the flesh paste, and the bones that had been dismantled in the rotting meat paste began to reconnect, and the sharp claws were deeply inserted into the concrete floor, and then pulled out.
"Is this black fog the source of its recovery?"
Wang Ji immediately judged something from the current situation, and he stretched out his hand forward, using a hand as black as fireworks to separate the layer of black mist. Suddenly, the monster skeleton below creaked, turned around with great effort, and bent its newly recovered legs.
Call!
It leaped back into the corner of the staircase, and the turbulent black mist immediately swept it. At such an instant, Wang Ji also jumped onto the second floor, and when he turned around, he hid behind the wall. Heavy breathing came from around the corner of the stairs, and the headless man had an indelible breath from the vibration of his chest cavity alone. Wang Ji turned his head and saw the black mist spreading on the second floor, and extending to the third floor, as well as the second floor of the west building and the back building, slowly walking rotten meat.
They are not one.
Wang Ji realized the danger, and at this time all the voice-activated lights could no longer be on. He could tell how uneasy the barking of the dogs was. Seeing that the monsters in the west and north buildings were walking towards where he was, Wang Ji held his breath, and his figure quickly ran to the third floor. In an instant, the monster that had climbed up from the corner of the stairs suddenly jumped to his side and fell into the mud!
The monster that had fallen into the mud had yet to recover its body, and Wang Ji had already turned around and grabbed a bone spur in the rotten flesh, and with a stroke of strength, the whole rotten meat was broken into two pieces! Behind him, a decomposing corpse rushed up, and sharp bone spurs instantly passed through Wang Ji's body. These seemingly slow things had an unusually explosive power, at least three hundred meters away, and they rushed silently so quickly. But the moment it was interspersed, the monster seemed to froze for a moment.
Bone spurs passed through the void and flashed through Wang Ji's body!
Wang Ji was also stunned, and while he was stunned, the monster didn't seem to move. In this brief moment, a grotesque thought came to his mind, and then he seemed to smell a foul smell of wax, and the headless rotten flesh in front of him did not seem to be a rotten body, but a wax figure.
Immediately, Wang Ji saw his body as a night demon that resembled a burning dark flame, and suddenly understood. He jerked around and stabbed the spurs, so fast that he was a little too fast to control, and plunged into the hollow in the center of the headless monster's shoulder, slashing downward. But just like the Monster Assassination King, he's now in the air.
At this moment, the wax monster that seemed to understand something stretched out his hand and grabbed Wang Ji's arm, and after two air throws, the monster's powerful dry claws tightly clasped Wang Ji's forearm.
Silent oppression and pain followed, bones were almost shattered, Wang Ji held back the pain, his eyes fixed on the monster in front of him, the night demon suit seemed to burn with a void flame, but it did not let it melt. At such close proximity, the unpleasant smell of wax became even stronger. The other monsters on the second floor rushed over quickly, and the moment they pounced, Wang Ji suddenly stopped moving.
Unexpectedly, these monsters whose intestines were all solidified in wax and water also stagnated in the air, lifelike, and their bodies seemed to be supported by a black mist, and they were able to stay in the air. This kind of scene is rare to see in a lifetime, however, Wang Ji didn't even dare to move again. All these scenes were as he guessed, these monsters were actually wax figures.
"It's really as I thought, these monsters are moving because of me, and they won't move if I don't move. The bodies of these things should be spirits, just like me in the night demon right now. ”
Wang Ji's eyes became solemn, and the intense pain from his forearm was still tormenting his nerves. Even so, his mind is sharp. The fact that the night demon can touch spirits shows that the night demon is also a spirit, and so are monsters. To put it bluntly, he's a ghost now.
