Having let it slip through once, Hughes would not let it escape from his hands again, and after cutting off the earthworm's body, he took advantage of the situation and flipped the blade up, catching it up, and before the earthworm's body could fall to the ground, he split its front into two pieces again.

"Keep chopping. "Earthworms usually have one to five pairs of dilated blood vessels, which are their 'hearts', and a single slash can't confirm their death. ”

Hughes heard this, and the movements in his hands became even more aggressive, and a light sword made him swing into a ball of wind, frequently slashing at the giant earthworm's body, cutting its body into thin segments to make sure that all the bulging blood vessels in its body had been broken.

Hodge was not idle, right at his feet, there was a very active tail, he took out his beloved knife from the sole of his shoe, held the broken tail of the earthworm with his left hand, and held the knife with his right hand to cut the skin of the earthworm from the fracture, although he had never dissected the structure of the earthworm, but the structure of this lower creature was really quite simple, he easily removed the remaining blood vessels in his body, threw them on the snow beside him, and poured the remaining purple sunflower solution on them until the blood vessels shrummed into black-brown smoking slag.

Hughes rubbed the sweat from his face with his hands, he was sure that the earthworm's body was shattered beyond shattering, and even the slightest vein could not escape his sword.

He looked in Carol's direction, and to his surprise, Carroll seemed to be looking to his side as well?

Hughes straightened up for no reason, took off his helmet and walked towards Carroll, stuck his light sword in the ground in front of him, half-kneeling, and his tone was obviously excited: "Miss Carroll, we're going to—uh"

He suddenly coughed up blood foam, his throat overflowed with the smell of blood in an instant, his vision blurred, and he vaguely saw the corners of Carol's skirt stained red with the blood foam he coughed up, and then fell to the ground.

He reached out to hold Carol, he wanted to protect her face with his sword.

He wanted to be her knight, and he wanted her to be the wife of the Baker family.

Want—just want, he couldn't do it, the passage of life was clearly visible, just the movement of raising his hand, it had exhausted all his strength, his vision suddenly darkened, and only a buzzing voice was heard in his silent mind, incoherent and non-stop.

He drooped his head, and the flame of life was extinguished from his body.

Until he died, he had no way of knowing what had killed him.

But the others could see clearly, and at the moment when he was half-kneeling, a black mist burst out of the shredded earthworm's body, and came to Hughes's back at an alarming speed, and the gas condensed into a gun, which ran directly through his neck diagonally upward, directly pierced his throat, and pierced between his eyes.

"Get out of there!"

This was said to Carol, who was sitting in front of Hughes's corpse and the distance between her and the Black Mist, who was clearly the most suitable target if the Black Mist continued to attack.

Carol frantically tried to get up, but she found that her feet were paralyzed, and no matter how much she tried to push her body, it didn't work.

It was only then that she truly felt the threat of death for the first time.

The fear of imminent death made her subconsciously close her eyes.

So she missed an amazing sight.

The black mist didn't seem to care about Carol in front of him at all, it jumped out directly from the bridge of Hughes's nose, and then penetrated into Hughes's body again from the top of his head, Hughes's skin began to change, his complexion became transparent, and his bones, his blood vessels, and his organs could be clearly seen with the naked eye.

The black mist then burrowed into his veins, quickly turning them black and invading his heart and infecting the rest of his organs.

Hodge's eyes froze, and he noticed that Hughes's skin was shriveling at a visible rate, his organs were beginning to shrink, and his blood vessels were becoming more and more dilated.

Boom!

His body was like a balloon, suddenly exploding, but no blood splattered, as if there was only air in it, and his veins began to pull out of his organs, coalesce and twist together, leaving Hughes's body and jumping onto the earthworm's corpse.

The black blood vessels replaced the chopped and enlarged blood vessels of the earthworm, connecting the broken body bit by bit.

Hodge felt pain in his heart for no reason, as if he was being pinched in his hands, and his instinctive sense of crisis made him shout, "Run!"

It's too late!

At the moment when everyone turned around, the dead earthworm was active again, its body was still broken and had not healed, but the flexibility of the body was much stronger, a tumbling into the earth, the ground under his feet trembled, the black body jumped out of the ground, the guard who was running at the front was still running, but he fell to the ground after a few steps, he lowered his eyes and looked at the big hole in his stomach in a daze, he didn't quite understand when this wound was produced, the upwelling blood made him vomit blood and scale involuntarily, and with this action, the sticky intestine of the blood hole in his abdomen was sprinkled on the ground。

The last force unit in the team is gone.

Hodge cursed and scolded, clutching the knife in his hand tightly, his brain racing.

Where will it appear next time?

According to the previous algorithm, it will probably drill five meters behind itself.

But—there's no one there.

Hodge watched as the snow in front of him emerged from the earthworm's body, and he was about to wipe the skin off his chest.

Now the speed of the earthworm is much faster than before it was killed, and the change in this parameter caused the mathematical model he had constructed to completely collapse, resulting in a big error in the calculation, and also caused him to be in danger at this time.

"Lucky Judgment!"

The void dice appeared only for a moment, and before they could reach the center, they fell apart, and then a line of small blue letters appeared in Hodge's eyes.

"The lucky verdict cannot interfere with the established facts, and it automatically fails"

But the earthworm has not been able to rub itself ......

A burning pain in his chest interrupted his thoughts.

It turned out that the earthworm's attack had hit before he could call out the lucky decision, but it was so fast that he couldn't react.

Looking at the bare musculature on his chest and the black writing spreading near the wound, he sighed in his heart.

Is this the end of it? No one can threaten the earthworm anymore, and even if he can defeat the earthworm, I am afraid that he will not be able to survive until the words at the wound spread to his whole body before cutting off the infected rotten flesh for himself.

Hodge's body lost its balance and fell backwards, and he saw the earthworm running towards Fink, the damn monster who was so intelligent that he could tell that Fink, who had healing powers, was far more of a priority than Carroll, who only had scheming and secrets.

Probably - it's really coming to an end.

Exhaustion made him unable to open his eyes, and his vision brightened again after darkness, and he remembered his previous self in another world.

......

"Well, you won, my friends. The game ended, and the moderator announced the investigator's victory with a helpless face.

He's a pretty good host, and the script is flawless this time, with many small details interlocking, and it's easy to be misled by cluttered clues, which can lead to failure, but in the end, this mod was broken by the gang in front of him, as the mod he pressed the bottom of the box and made his debut, this result really didn't interest him.

There's no way, who made these people in front of them too chicken thieves.

The investigators cheered, each embracing each other to enjoy the joy of victory.

"Huo, we won!"

"Yes, we win...... Ahem, let go, I'm out of breath!" Hodge flapped wildly at the thick arms that had wrapped around him.

The tall blonde man reacted and immediately let go of his hands, a little embarrassed and smiled at him, Hodge rolled his eyes, knowing that this behavior was the strange way to apologize.

"Speaking of which, Huo, how did you judge that the diary was misleading, and the real information was hidden in the cracks of the wall?"

At that time, they were really unlucky when they explored the valley, six people went to investigate, only one person passed, and the clue found was only an old diary on the table, and they were supposed to follow the ideas recorded in the diary to explore the next step, but Hodge stopped it.

"Guess. ”

"You're lucky, it's not the first time you've guessed the right answer. ”

Hodge smiled and shook his head: "Joe, guessing is not Meng, although there is also an element of luck in it, but guessing does have a hypothesis that can be drawn based on evidence." ”

"And how did you do that?"

"Count. ”

"What do you mean?"

Hodge didn't go any further, but just casually sent Joe away, and if he did, he would not have to waste days and nights to explain the reason for his judgment in the cave.

At that time, everyone's attention was on the diary, but he kept calculating the imaginary equation in his mind, and after considering a series of factors, the calculation showed that there was at least a seventy percent probability that the diary was not a real clue, so after consulting KP's consent, he cast a lucky one.

Then, he discovers the real clues hidden in the cave.

Mathematics, which was probably the only element in Hodge's first fifteen years of life, except for eating, drinking, and literacy, his father told him that he was born for mathematics, and because of this sentence, he had no colorful childhood, only boring numbers as a companion.

He was indeed gifted in mathematics, but for fifteen years he could only touch numbers, which was quite terrible, he was distressed, he made a statement, he hurt himself, all of them had no effect, and in the end he had to pick up the paper full of calculations.

He hated math as much as he hated his father.

Just like most people's thinking, life only needs to add and subtract, and you can't even use multipliers, not to mention those high-order equations, and what you have studied for fifteen years is not just a lump of waste paper in the future?

What he didn't expect was that what he hated for fifteen years had become his ability to distinguish himself from others, probability, outcome, merit, and when random events were put into the mathematical landscape, randomness became traceable, whether it was the direction of life or the choice in board games.

His hatred of his father remained the same, and he had not changed in the slightest, and his childhood was gone, never to return.

But his mentality towards numbers has changed, and this boring thing for fifteen years has made his future life extremely rich and colorful.

He began to appreciate mathematics, he began to apply mathematics, and he kneaded mathematics into a part of his body, like an instinct to breathe.

So he was able to figure out McCarthy's bedtime.

So he was able to calculate the optimal ratio of the herb's potency.

So he can count where the earthworm appears.

But it was all over, and the pain in his chest enveloped him with the shadow of death, and the cold touch began to seal his features.

That's it – the end.

His vision dimmed again, and probably no longer brightened.

At this moment, a pair of pupils appeared in his mind, the color of royal blue was like flowing light, which were expectant eyes, and the owner of these pupils was looking forward to meeting him.

"Huh. ”

He chuckled in his heart, the owner of the pupil had been killed by himself eight years ago, and sure enough, he was going to die.

The blue text reappeared.

"Mental shackles detected in the investigator's body"

"Try to break through, automatically decide"

"Verdict Result: 30% Removal of Mental Shackles"

"Psychic Perception: Brief Opening"

[Current Mental Power: 59]

This is - what?

Before he could understand the meaning of the blue words, the burning sensation spread throughout his body, his throat roared, his skin was steaming with purple red, his eyes were intertwined with golden light, and the wound on his chest was also scorched into a scab, and the fine words struggled, but they were burned by the heat until they disappeared.

"Whew. He exhaled, and the heat of just one breath began to make the cold around him shiver.

Hodge found that his vision was different.

The real scene was replaced by another scene, the woods and snow were dark blue and black, and the stumbling Carol and Fink, who was about to be pounced by the earthworm, were yellow, and orange thin lines appeared in their bodies as if they were see-through, which should be blood vessels, but in the chest, they were burning red, which should be the heart.

Hodge looked at the earthworm, most of his body was pale blue, with an orange-red bulging vessel in the center, and a thin red line running through the entire body.

I see, this monster has another bloodline outside the swollen veins, and this bloodline is its real heart, in the form of mist, no wonder it still exists under Hughes's sword.

He took a deep breath, the cold air had turned into boiling water as it penetrated his body, but he didn't feel anything, his body became light, and with a slight kick, he quickly left the place, rushing at the earthworm faster than the sword from the string, and hugging it before it pounced on Fink.

When Hodge's arms wrapped around the earthworm, the earthworm, which rarely showed pain, struggled rarely, and the scorching heat penetrated into the earthworm's body along Hodge's skin, and the white mist steamed.

But this was not the end of it, he took the knife off, strangely the blade was not burned purple-red, as if there was no temperature contact, he stabbed the blade into the earthworm's body, and only an instant of intense temperature destroyed the reconstituted blood vessels in the earthworm's body.

Hodge sensed the existence of the hidden bloodline, and it wanted to repeat its old tricks to escape and look for an opportunity, but how could he let it get its way, and the heat transmitted along the blade quickly surrounded the bloodline, even if it turned into mist, it could not resist the pure heat, it struggled, and then disappeared in the scorching temperature.

The movement of the earthworm in his arms had completely stopped, and Hodge let go of his arm in a daze, and fell to the snow behind him with his head up, his vision darkened from even more intense exhaustion than before.

This time, it's really over—he thought.

Fink had subconsciously closed his eyes before the earthworm pounced, and Carol was still in fear, until the earthworm's body fell and Hodge's fall made a loud noise, causing the two to open their eyes.

Fink watched as the earthworm stopped moving, and then at the purple-skinned Hodge, and hurriedly ran up, reaching out to find out if Hodge was still alive.

As soon as he made contact, he immediately withdrew his hand, and looking at the blisters on his fingers that were rapidly growing, he said in surprise: "He's so hot!"
