Chapter 87: Maria the Doll (3)
The massacre in the fishing village was still going on, there was blood everywhere, and Brado was always on the rooftops, jumping from roof to roof, and wantonly killing the villagers with that big wooden stick, his killing methods were the wildest, and the blood squeezed out by the huge weapons stained almost every roof.
However, in terms of the efficiency of killing, it is still the highest of Geman, the fishing village is dilapidated, and most of the wooden houses have gaps in the walls, Geman runs back and forth between the houses, without stopping, no matter who passes by, no matter how the other party attacks him, he is a block or a dodge, and only one swing of the scythe can reap the other party's life.
However, it was the soles of Ludwig and Maria's shoes that were drowning in blood.
They had to stay at the entrance of the village to protect the research group, and they had to kill the villagers who wanted to rush out, the number of students in the research group was more than that of the escort team, so the number of villagers in the fishing village who rushed to this side was also relatively large, and the fighting strength of the villagers was far inferior to these elite students of Baierkinsworth, Ludwig and Maria were easily killed.
The difficult question is how to deal with this carnage.
Among those who participated in the massacre, Brado laughed all the time, and the more he killed, the more cheerful he became, even though his face was already covered with the blood of the villagers;
Lawrence and Geman were very calm, for them, this was just carrying out the task of Master William, Master William already knew about the existence of the corpse, and the escort team had its own task, that is, no matter what means were used, to bring back the valuable things on the corpse, these villagers had mutated, and no one cared about them.
Only Ludwig and Maria's expressions were not very good, and Ludwig frowned tightly, although he hated the massacre, but the sense of mission had taken away his psychological burden.
But Maria doesn't have such a strong sense of mission, she has a sad expression on her face, but from the beginning, Lawrence killed the village chief, and things have developed to a situation where she will never die, no matter which side you can't stop, because stopping is also a death, it's better to fight hard.
"That's enough, help her." Margaret had been looking at Maria, and suddenly said to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, Margaret said enough, not in that impassioned tone, but unusually calm, as if someone was serving her a meal, and she said, "Enough".
He didn't care about the life or death of the dream character, but Maria's expression still made him feel compassion, and at this time, Margaret had the consciousness that there was no one to protect her, and she should protect herself, so he stepped forward, came behind Maria, and whispered, "I'll come." ”
Maria was not involved in the battle at all, she knew it as soon as Zhou Yu came behind her, nodded when she heard the words, thanked her, and retreated to Zhou Yu's original position.
Zhou Yu kills, he doesn't need to use dream talismans, his own strength alone is enough to deal with these villagers, and he is not a person who is easy to kill, but unlike Maria, he knows that these villagers are just characters in the dream realm, so there is no resistance in his heart when he kills.
The difference in perception is an important part of Cthulhu's culture.
Maria had stopped killing, but she was trembling, her whole body was trembling, and anyone could tell from the two swords in her hand that she was shaking so badly that she was trying to suppress it.
Adeline and Margaret stood beside her, whispering comforting to her.
Eventually, all the villagers with weapons and fish scales on their bodies were slaughtered, and the chief's curse disappeared with his life, leaving only those who had been worshipping the beach all along.
The trainees of the research group walked back to the village with blood on the ground and gathered in a small square.
"What about these people?" Mansis said, pointing to the worshipping villagers.
"They? They're like ants. "Brado walked up to a villager and with a single punch he knocked the man down, no longer moving, mutation and day and night worship leaving their bodies extremely vulnerable.
"Enough!" Maria yelled at Brador, a world away from Margaret's enough.
Brado grinned and walked back to Lawrence's side.
Geman glanced at Maria and said to Lawrence, "Don't worry about these people, they're afraid they won't even be able to stand up." ”
Lawrence nodded and led the group towards the beach at the back of the fishing village.
…………
Standing on the dirt slope leading to the beach, you can see Kos's corpse, the huge body still lying in place, not decomposing, not unlike when Zhou Yu left.
The trainees of the research group became excited, kept talking, and followed the escort to the beach.
"Are you alright?" Seeing Maria following the research team, Zhou Yu put away her twin swords, and no longer trembled, but her expression was gloomy.
Maria looked up at him, smiled reluctantly, and shook her head slightly.
Margaret was still staring at Maria.
"Draw blood and take everything that is valuable." As the head of the operation and the leader of the research team, Mego pointed to Kos's corpse and said.
Everyone rushed up like a swarm of ants carrying grasshopper carcasses, surrounding Kos's corpse, they were also Baierkinsworth's elite students, and they were very skilled in drawing Kos's blood and cutting Kos's body.
The corpse was dissected, and some of the trainees wore rudimentary protective suits and full-face helmets to burrow into Kos's body and retrieve the internal organs.
It didn't take long for the screams to be heard.
"Alive!" A student came out with a fetus covered in mucus and screamed.
The fetus is larger than a human and looks different from a human, but it is indeed a fetus, not the boss encountered in the hunter's dream.
Everyone looked at the fetus in surprise, and although Mei Gao and others immediately went over to do emergency treatment, wanting to save the life of the fetus and facilitate research, the fetus still died quickly, next to Kos's body.
Mei Gao personally handled the corpse of the fetus, including the placenta, umbilical cord, etc., which is probably the most valuable thing to study, and he was called "Kos Orphan".
"If you don't take him out, he won't die......" Maria said in a low voice, not for anyone else, only Zhou Yu, Margaret, and Adeline could hear it.
The dissection lasted for most of the day, and it was not until the sun went down that Koss's body gradually dried up, leaving only a layer of skin, hollowing out the internal organs, draining the blood, and even the tentacles being cut off.
Everyone took their loot and lined up to walk back to the fishing village from the dirt slope.
Zhou Yu, Margaret, Adeline and Maria walked at the end, and when they came to the top of the dirt slope, Maria suddenly stopped, picked up some things, and built a very simple small altar on the top of the soil slope, which can also be said to be a tombstone, and picked a few flowers next to it and put them on the tombstone.
It was a couple of beautiful sunflowers.
Lawrence, Geman, and the others were all watching this side, waiting patiently, and the conversation of the students seemed to reveal the ridicule of Brador.
When leaving the fishing village, Maria casually threw her "fallen leaves" double sword into the well in the center of the village, without the slightest nostalgia or reluctance.
Zhou Yu had seen the well when he first came to the fishing material, and it was the idea of this pair of swords, but Maria was affected, and he lost interest in "falling leaves".
The blood on the sword would be washed away by the well water, but the blood in Maria's eyes could not be washed away in any way.
…………
Back at Bailkinsworth Academy, everyone stored the things they had brought back in the laboratory, and after Mego and Lawrence reported the situation to Master William, Maria was called by Master William alone.
"It's going to be okay, is it?" Zhou Yu asked Margaret because Margaret had been watching Maria, so he also became concerned about Maria.
Margaret shook her head: "Maria is one of Master William's most favored students, and it should just be to comfort her. ”
Sure enough, Maria soon returned, but was still in a depressed mood.
Research on the corpse of Kos also began, and the first to deal with the corpse of the orphan of Kos, because it was a world-renowned discovery, the scene of the dissection of the corpse of the orphan of Kos was made into a statue and preserved forever.
However, the brilliance of this operation was quickly forgotten, and the problem finally arose.
Perhaps it was the curse of the village chief, or perhaps it was the illness of Kos, and the students of Baierkinsworth also had problems, and some of the students involved in this operation had mutated.
Unlike the mutations of the villagers in the fishing villages, the mutations of the trainees only occur in the head, which swells and continues to grow in size until they die.
Many of the students fell ill at the same time, which frightened the others, and Master William immediately called a meeting to discuss how to deal with it.
In addition to the people from the escort team, Mei Gao, Margaret, and Adeline were also invited, and Zhou Yu was of course among them.
"Let's isolate, plan a separate dormitory building as a research hall, all the people involved in the operation live in it, isolate, we continue to study Kos and Kos orphans, and find a way to treat them, and no one else comes in, so as not to get infected." Lawrence came up with the idea, which was immediately endorsed by others.
Master William nodded in agreement, and soon, a dormitory building was separated and became a research building, all the students involved in the operation lived in it, the door was closed, the key to the research building was only owned by the students participating in the operation, and the sick students became the subjects of study.
Probably because of their physical fitness, only a very small number of people in the escort team became ill, and the vast majority were members of the research team, Zhou Yu and Margaret were fine, but they also lived in the research building.
Such a big thing did not cause much trouble at Bayerkinsworth College, and on the way to pursue the inner eye, someone must pay a price, and the people in the research building are all "price".
The head is swollen, causing the face to be distorted and inhuman, the head of the sick person is wrapped in gauze, and people die almost every day, how to dispose of the body is a big problem.
Eventually, Lawrence figured out how to do it, and as a result, a number of large jars filled with hydrochloric acid appeared in the research building, with the skull logo on them and the words HCl written on them.
Not long after, Adeline also fell ill.
