Chapter 24: Necromancy
A dozen or so, with torsos similar to those of dogs, sharp and strong limbs similar to those of some kind of large carnivore, all headed by children no more than five years old, unknown monsters, slowly approached us under the cover of the rain. At the forefront, the body is a big python, but it has a delicate girl's head, with its upper body raised high, and its mouth is silently open to the sky, as if questioning the gods high above.
"It's miserable!" Zhou Bu was unwilling to cover his mouth with his hands, and tears fell to the ground in the rain and tears.
The big head was pale, his forehead was bruised, and his teeth were clenched and gurgling: "Lose humanity!" If I had to catch them, I'd screw the heads off these bastards! ”
My arms were slowly lowered, I didn't want to call them monsters, but it was clear that they were some crazy people who were using medical technology that we didn't know about, combining their heads with animal bodies. These children, with dazed and frightened faces, are conscious, alive, and are driven to approach us by threats.
I could even see the python girl, the tears of despair in her eyes, even the howling rain could not wash away her tears.
Taking a step forward, I shouted, "Children, who is it, tell me who it is, who is it that has made you like this!" ”
A combination of a dozen or so children's heads stopped, staring at us blankly, their mouths wide open, and making staccato sounds.
"Uh...... Yes...... I....... ”
The sound was faint, especially when it was raining so hard that we couldn't hear it clearly, so I gritted my teeth and put away my pistol and stepped forward. The big head quickly grabbed me and shouted, "You're crazy, it's too dangerous." ”
I glared at him: "Let go of me, can't you see?" They are alive, they are conscious that they are forced, they are still ...... Still is...... O man! ”
As I roared, the fear on the child's face gradually dissipated, revealing a hint of various expressions. The leading python girl, her head bobbing back and forth unnaturally, a childlike smile appeared on her face, slowly sliding towards us, it was a smile of hope and trust, she heard our shouts, and even thought that we could save her.
The big head let go of his arm and lowered his gun, and although the children were replaced with animal bodies, their consciousness was still human. In the face of these immature faces, our hearts were filled with grief, so much so that even the two of us big men choked up and were speechless.
Who, exactly, and for what, is hurting these children? And why do we let these children appear in front of us?
At this moment, a sudden change occurred, in the storm and rain curtain, there was a screaming sound that pierced the eardrums, we couldn't help but cover our ears, squatting on the ground in pain, and our consciousness began to blur for a short time. Thankfully, the cold rain was able to resist this soul-piercing scream.
I was the first to regain consciousness, but when I looked at the children, I noticed even more amazing changes.
The child's head animal body stopped advancing, and the look on the python girl's face in front of her was first confused, then confused, and finally numb, while her head slowly drooped, and her messy hair was hidden in front of her, and her face could not be seen. An ominous premonition began to rise in my mind, that the children's changes must have something to do with the screaming, and although I didn't know what would happen next, it was certainly not a good thing.
The other three slowly recovered, stood up and looked at each other in amazement, and at the same time noticed that the children's heads were lowered and they had stopped moving forward, not knowing what this change meant.
Suddenly, the python girl raised her head suddenly, her face distorted and hideous, and the pupils of her eyes turned blood-red. The heads of the other children were also raised, and they all had the same blood-red pupils.
"Their eyes ......." Zhou was unwilling to take a step forward, slowly stretched out his arm and pointed forward, a puzzled look slowly appeared on his face, and his steps involuntarily walked forward.
A flash of inspiration flashed in my head, resounding from my childhood experience, sounding the words of the Tianyuan monk, I grabbed Zhou Buun's waist and dragged her, and at the same time yelled: "Don't look at their eyes, they have been controlled by the necromancy, this is the necromancy's eyes!" ”
But my yelling didn't work, not only did Zhou Bulu still move forward, but even the big head followed the devil, slowly moving forward with a silly smile on his face. I was anxious, thinking about what to do, when I heard the crisp sound of gunshots.
Qi Qian, who was at the back, snatched the gun from the big head's hand, raised her hands expressionlessly, and exploded the python girl's head in a very standard shooting posture.
Datou and Zhou Bu were both trembling, but they still looked left and right blankly, and asked puzzledly: "Just now...... What happened? ”
Then, Zhou was unwilling to lower his head, and when he saw me hugging her waist, he couldn't help but be furious, and shouted: "Hao Yan, dare to touch me with your dirty hands!" ”
I also said angrily: "When is it, please think about how to live!" ”
The child's head animal's body, whose eyes turned blood-red, became obviously nimble, and rushed over at an extremely fast speed, without even giving us a chance to shoot. At the critical moment, the calmest one was still Qi Qian, she had a cold face, her arm was calm and pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the first three children's heads were blown up, which bought us precious time to survive.
Because Zhou Buun's gun had fallen to the ground, I couldn't shoot in order to hold her, the big gun was snatched by Qi Qian, and now the only one who can fight back is her.
But Qi Qian is limited after all, and the rest of the child's head animal body has almost rushed to us, one of the child's head with a dog body, the mouth is wide open and cracked to the back of the head, and the bloody teeth are fiercely bitten towards Zhou Bulu. I could see clearly behind me, deep in the throat where the child's head was cracked, and a face with long hair covering his face and a strange smile in his blood-colored pupils.
That's the face of the necromancy!
I slammed Zhou Unwilling away, raised my foot and kicked the monster that bit me to the ground, raised the gun in my hand and exploded my head.
The brains mixed with the blood sprayed on my face, and I could feel that my face was almost like a ghost now.
The guns of Qi Qian and I made the monsters very jealous, and they retreated and hid behind the shelter, watching us only through blood-red eyes, waiting for the opportunity to devour their prey.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I gritted my teeth and shouted, "They are all controlled by the necromancy, and they can no longer be called human!" Remember, don't look them in the eye or you'll be confused. ”
The big head shouted: "What if you don't look at it, do you close your eyes and hit it!" ”
Qi Qian said calmly: "Run, run out of this community first!" After Hao Yan and I, the two of you quickly ran out and called for help. ”
This is the best solution, I am specially trained to hit the target even if I don't have to see with my eyes, just by hearing with my ears. And the eyes of the necromancer don't seem to have much effect on Qi Qian, thanks to her calm mind that is not easy to control.
"If you two can't stand it, run!" Zhou is not willing to have a leadership style, and he turned around and ran decisively. The big head paused, and with a sigh he ran after her out of the community.
You may see two people trying to escape, and there is a commotion in this group of monsters controlled by the necromancy, and a few are eager to rush out. I didn't even look at it, I raised my hand and it was two shots. It's a pity that they are all hiding behind cover, and these two shots just suppress them and dare not come forward.
"Save some bullets!" Qian Qian reminded as she slowly retreated backwards.
"You don't need to say it." I also cooperated with her, forming a battle of horns and defense, slowly retreating.
In fact, the two of us are completely singing empty plans and bluffing. **The magazine capacity is fifteen rounds, but in fact, the criminal police will only carry ten rounds of ammunition when they go out on a mission. Qi Qian's gun came from the big head, and with the number of guns she fired, there were at most five bullets left.
I'm only one shot more than him, and there are still seven or eight monsters left on the opposite side that are controlled by the necromancy, and now all of them are agile, and it's not easy to hit them very quickly. If it weren't for the precision of our marksmanship, they would have come up and gnawed us to the bone.
Thinking of this, a question suddenly popped up in my heart, these monsters controlled by the necromancy are obviously intelligent and able to judge the strength of danger independently, and only by blowing their heads can they be effective. But since they are dead spirits who have lost their lives, why are they afraid of our bullets?
Abruptly, the scream sounded again. In a brief moment of dizziness, I relied on my strong willpower to look as far as I could.
It just so happened that a lightning bolt streaked through the air, and I could see it clearly! On the opposite floor, there were two people standing, and it was impossible to see what they looked like in the rain and the darkness of the night. But judging from the silhouette, it is indeed a person, who looks like he is wearing something like a poncho, and his head is covered by a hood.
In a flash, the silhouettes of the two disappeared into the rainy night. At the same time, the monsters on the opposite side also changed, crawling out from behind the hidden cover, but instead of attacking us quickly, they lay on the ground and raised their heads to the sky with their expressions of extreme pain and opened their mouths wide.
Under the stunned gaze of me and Qi Qian, the mouths of these children's heads have reached the point of tearing, completely cracking to the back of the head, and only the shallow layer of the scalp is connected and not divided into two halves. At the same time, pale hands poked out of their mouths!
It's not exactly how pale is, but I can't really find any other words that fit. This hand is like an electrolyte formation, flashing tangible and substantial, pale and almost transparent on the surface, but always maintaining the form of a hand, crawling out of the mouth little by little.
The two of us were completely stunned, forgetting to run away, and just staring at the strange scene in front of us in a daze. Just after the arm crawled out of the mouth, a blood-red face with long hair covering the face and blood red eyes faintly appeared from the mouth.
I gulped my saliva with a grunt, and before I could raise my gun to react, the long-haired necromancer face crawled out of the child's mouth, lying on all fours, looking at us with smiling, blood-colored eyes.
"Holy!"
The great fear made me spit out a swear word that I would not normally say, and at the same time raise my gun and shoot. The bullet shot through the necromancer's flashing body and landed on the ground, bursting into dazzling sparks, but the smiling, blood-colored pupils did not change in the slightest.
Bang bang bang!
Qi Qian also fired, and the two of us didn't have the heart to think about whether we should save bullets, so we shot all the bullets in the gun in one breath like venting. Until the gun clicked, and there were no bullets, we simply smashed the gun out, all in vain, but it was the only thing we said we would not give up.
After venting, I fell into a calm emptiness, and the blood-red pupils of the necromancer began to gradually attract my attention, and my consciousness slowly blurred. At the same time, I finally saw that the long hair in front of the necromancer's face parted little by little, faintly revealing the face behind the long hair.
Necromantic face, don't look at it...... Don't look at it!
Xu Jianfeng's vicious laughter and curse before he disappeared echoed in my mind over and over again, like the bell of a death knell.
