Chapter 12: Pain
"Ahh
Not long after the lights went out, a woman's scream suddenly sounded in the darkness, coming from the direction of the hall door, and it was so terrible that it sounded very painful.
Even the calm Harris was taken aback, and all kinds of urban legends came to mind, and he turned his head to look at the hall door, and there was no female ghost in white clothes, nor a siren with open breasts, only pitch black, so black that it made people's hearts palpitate.
Immediately after, a second scream rang out, this time a male voice, sounding panicked, as if it had been bitten by a poisonous snake, then a third, a fourth......
As if it would spread, more and more people screamed, and quickly extended into the dance hall, tearing hearts and lungs, and even a ghost crying wolf.
Harris squatted on the ground, one hand on the ground, trying to figure out the reason for the screams, he knew that it was not Sun An who was killing people, although that guy didn't care about the lives of the passengers, but the passengers were his shield, killing them did him no good, the mask and raincoat also proved that he did not intend to carry out the massacre, and the screams came from the position of the door, if Sun An wanted to go out, there was no reason to turn back, if he wanted to clear the members of the action team, there was no reason to hang around the hall door.
The eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and finally could see where the portholes were, the moonlight could not provide illumination, but it could give a sense of space, if the memory was good enough, remember the layout of the ballroom, and look at those portholes to avoid bumping into things while moving, but at this time the ground was full of passengers, and even if they didn't hit things, they would trip people.
The commander moved a few meters to the side, stopped, continued to listen, and looked around with wide eyes, he quickly got an answer, and when the screams had spread to this side, a sharp pain appeared.
It was as if someone had poured a bucket of lava on him, and it was as if he had been sent to an incinerator, all the exposed skin was "burning", and his clothes were also affected by some kind of force, and began to twist and contract, and the burning pain was one of the most unbearable pains, Harris couldn't help but snort, and also heard the various snorts of the members of the operation team from the headphones.
The body was burning, but there was no flame in the dance hall, and if there were, it was already a sea of fire.
The invisible "flame" was sprinkled from above, and in order to avoid damage to his features, Harris lay down with the tip of his nose on the ground, and pulled his jacket up to cover his head.
In the hot summer, most of the travelers were dressed coolly, and Harris would not have put on a jacket if it wasn't for a gun, and he was lucky, but the thin jacket soon cracked, and he couldn't last long.
"Sun An has used chemical weapons. It occurred to him that the reason was that the wide rubber raincoat could completely cover the skin, and Sun An's trigger was likely not only to turn off the lights and stop the cruise ship, but also to turn on the chemical weapons placed at the hall door, so there was a scene of crazy screams from everyone.
This seemed to be the only plausible explanation, but why didn't he do it in the first place?
Some of the people who couldn't bear the pain began to run wildly, trying to avoid the invisible flames falling from the sky, and one of them kicked him in the ribs while running, and tripped over, and got up and continued to run regardless of it, and after not running far, he fell again, like madness, and after a few times he could not get up again.
Leng Buding was kicked so hard that Harris couldn't help but look up to the side, lest someone kick him in the head, and at that moment, the light suddenly turned on.
The intense light pierced Harris's eyes, and he hurriedly buried his eyes in his elbow sockets, leaving a patch of redness in his eyes, and he was terribly uncomfortable.
He remembered the brown glass on the beak mask again.
The brown glass is probably the real reason why Sun An turned off the lights, and you can imagine how much damage he would cause to everyone's eyes when the action team was looking for Sun An in the dark, and he suddenly turned on the lights, which was much more terrifying than suddenly falling into darkness.
"Then why did he turn on the lights so quickly? 'Burning' continues, even if he is wearing a raincoat and a mask, now is not a good time to act, that cunning man can't be so uncomposed, let everyone run and step in the dark, and after a while, even if they are not dead, they will not be able to move seriously, wouldn't it be better to turn on the lights again then?" Harris began to question his previous speculation again.
The mask is made of leather and the raincoat is rubber, and it is impossible that both substances can withstand the burning of "chemical weapons", which makes the only reasonable explanation unreasonable, and the use of a mask to cover the face and the raincoat to block the blood does not conflict with turning the lights on and off, then the latter is more likely.
"Chemical weapons have nothing to do with Sun An. The commander squinted his eyes and raised his head, and began to look for the bright yellow figure, if the chemical weapons were Sun An's, he would definitely not stay in the dance hall, if not, then he should also be suffering.
He found it at once, the raincoat was still so conspicuous, and the beak mask was still terrifying.
And the things that hang under the ceiling and make everyone scream in pain look cute.
............
............
Sun An squatted far away from the hall door, gently stroking the back of his bleeding hand, his expression focused, looking like a lone wolf licking his wounds.
His skin was festering, blood seeping out of the capillaries, covering the blood that had been stained before, and he was in the best condition in the entire ballroom, because he wore a thick mask to protect his head and face, and a thick raincoat to protect his body, only his hands were hurt when he showed up, and the fire burned and hurt.
It's corrosion, and if you look closely at it by the light, you can see that a very thin, dusty droplet of water is falling, and it rains like a drizzle, and where it falls, the people in that place will scream, and this corrosion will work on everything, skin, cloth, wood, ceramics, glass, steel, everything is corroded.
But it's not chemical corrosion in the ordinary sense, it's more like a physical devouring, and the corroded object doesn't produce smoke and smell, and it doesn't change color except for the skin - the skin changes color, except for bleeding, it's just the body's defense system working, but it can't protect against those fine water droplets.
"It turns out that there is another kind of person on this ship, which is kind of interesting. Despite the terrible pain in the back of his hand, Sun An still had a smile on his face.
The water droplets simply took away what was the same volume as it and then disappeared, and there is no liquid in nature that has such properties, and it is impossible to be artificially made, the only possibility is that there is a kind of person on the ship, but apparently not his companions.
He looked up.
