Chapter 12: The Illusion of the Dead (3)
The entrance to the hall was black, faintly revealing the brilliance of the outside, as if a pale face had countless glowing eyes and a large mouth that didn't know how deep.
Due to the extraordinary size of this hall, and the long distance from the hall to the exit, Bruno followed his companion lightly, turning his head to look behind him from time to time, always feeling as if a pair of eyes were watching him from behind.
β......β
The silver-haired boy turned his head for the first time, looked behind him uneasily, and saw that the large doll was still sitting quietly in the display table, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Maybe I'm too neurotic.
At the moment when he turned around, the doll slowly raised its head, its eyes dripping blood, dripping down the white mask, flowing down the calves, all the way to the ankles, and when it was about to touch the ground, it suddenly disappeared in place.
"Huh?"
Yalei suddenly wrinkled his nose, his cat's waist straightened at the same time, and his steps slowed down.
"What's wrong?" asked Bruno, leaning behind his back, nervous.
"I seem to smell blood, and the position seems to be in the ......," the black-haired knight said, turning his head and looking straight behind him.
The silver-haired boy frowned, looking at him with trekluster as Bruno back, a huge face covered in a white mask suspended in midair, blood-red eyes dripping with liquid.
The huge mouth full of scimitar-like teeth opened silently, the exaggerated smile continued to pull towards the sides of the cheeks, the corners of the mouth quickly exceeded the cheekbones, and two-thirds of the entire face was already mouthparts, but it was still expanding.
It's useless to hide. It's time to come or it's coming!
Feeling a dangerous aura rushing towards him, the black-haired knight turned around in an instant, and slapped his companion's right shoulder with his left hand. Sudden strength in the legs.
Whooshββ!
Aree took the unprepared Bruno into two phantoms, and flew sideways twenty yards away, and the huge mask had bitten into the floor where they had been.
Boom ββ!
There was a loud bang in the space, and the entire floor was bitten out of a deep pit about thirty feet in diameter.
The silver-haired boy was pushed to the ground by his companion, snorted, and immediately rolled over to his feet.
He looked like a beast on all fours. The huge doll that raised its head from the smoke and rubble, a chill suddenly welled up in Bruno's heart:
"There's something wrong with this puppet!"
"I thought I could get away by pretending not to know anything...... black-haired knight clenched his fists. The muscles of the whole body tensed, and he said helplessly.
"Crunch...... Squeak, squeak......" The doll chewed on the gravel in its mouth, and with the scattered gravel, it refocused its gaze on the two.
The smile on the white mask grew stronger. Even the bright red gums at the ends of the sharp teeth are exposed. The blood-red tongue swirls and burrows out of the mouth, but it grows longer and longer......
Whooshββ!
The long tongue flew out, piercing through the space with a piercing sound of wind, like a blood-red light and shadow, slamming into the silver-haired boy.
Bruno immediately dodged away, and at the same time, Yare's figure rushed towards his companion from the side. White sparks erupted from the fist peak, and Huo Ran smashed a straight fist into the red tongue.
Who knew that Red Tongue's flexibility was extraordinary. The tip of his tongue drifted down as if it were an eye, and then curled into a hook and wrapped around the black-haired knight's right arm, pulling it back hard.
"Huh!?"
Yalei was wrapped around his arm by the red tongue, and his body staggered with the power of the long tongue, and he was almost pulled into his mouth by the other party directly from a distance.
If I'm still in full swing, I'll kill you in just two seconds.
The black-haired knight felt a moment of grief, then became angry, took a deep breath, and his legs were coiled in place like tree roots, and immediately dug into the floor below his ankles.
At the same time, the muscles and bones of the five organs instantly exerted force, and quickly exploded through the whole body like gunpowder, and dragged back fiercely with a red tongue.
Phewββ!
The doll was dragged off the ground by this sudden increase in force, and its huge body slashed through the air and slammed into the floor on the other side along the parabola.
Bangββ!
Once again, a deep crater appeared in the floor, and the doll quickly stood firm in the rubble, shook its head sharply, and its tongue suddenly tore apart like a gecko's broken tail.
A large gulp of saliva spilled out with this movement, dripping all over the ground, maintaining the posture of opening its mouth, and suddenly raised its head in a motion to swallow air.
Whooshββ!
At this moment, a white wheel of light flew out, slashing straight through the space, sinking into the doll's eyebrows, and then running out from the back of its head.
β......β
The doll's body stiffened suddenly, spit out half of its red tongue, and collapsed to the ground, kicking up a puff of dust.
"In that case, it should be done. β
The black-haired knight put away his movement of swinging the light wheel, looked at the doll's stiff body, and slowly exhaled.
"Hopefully this guy won't be resurrected. β
Bruno said as he shot several ice spears, all of which stabbed the doll's joints, burying the possibility of it moving again.
Crunch ββ!
In the other part of the hall, there was a sudden sound of a heavy object rubbing against the wheel, followed by a dull closing of the door, which was so loud that even the stones scattered on the ground shook with it.
"Bruno...... Doll Doll ...... It's usually a girl's toy......" Yalei swallowed, his gaze directed to the darkness of the sound source, as if to verify it.
"yes...... Generally speaking, dolls and girls are in equal proportions......" The silver-haired boy stared into the distance in a daze, his pupils constricting suddenly.
Knock-knock-knockββ!
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, with a gradually increasing earthquake, gradually approached from the darkness.
"Bruno!" the black-haired knight's face sank.
"Roger!" Bruno immediately raised his chin.
"Run!" Areley immediately pulled a large piece of flesh off his tongue, then vanished into a cloud of phantom.
"Understood!" the silver-haired boy followed and disappeared in place.
Shortly after the two of them were anointed with oil on the soles of their feet and disappeared. A large, bulky figure walked into the hall, paused near the booth for a moment, and then followed the lingering scent in the air. Walked to the pit where the doll fell.
"No ......"
It leaned down and picked up the broken doll from the ground, holding out its fingers tremblingly in an attempt to straighten its crooked neck.
"Ellie...... Not ......"
When the doll's head tilted to the other side, a painful wail rang out from the space.
It picked up the broken doll, carefully drew the ice spear, and stroked it slowly. And cry in a low voice:
"I love you...... My dear daughter...... Don't leave me ......"
The huge figure picked up the doll doll, gently pasted it on his face, and rubbed it attachment: "Who hurt you...... Tell me...... Oh...... I see......"
Its voice gradually became cold. The space was eerily silent for a moment, and then a roar sounded like a volcanic eruption, setting off a wave of air that almost tore through the dome:
"Black and white boy!"
......
Lightning streaked across the silent sky like knives, and the rain slammed down on the road like iron beans. There is a rattling noise.
Jarre and Bruno ran wildly. Soon left the huge palace, stepped onto a bluestone avenue, and continued to move forward without stopping.
As he hurried, the black-haired knight tore open the fragments of his long tongue in his hand and threw them in all directions.
"What are you doing here?" the silver-haired boy couldn't understand his behavior.
"If the owner of that ragdoll chases it out, then it is most likely to be followed by the sense of smell, so I will interfere a little just in case. As he spoke, he threw another piece of minced meat into the distance.
"Well thought out!" said Bruno, admiringly.
"Hahaha, little meaning. β
The rain is smoky gray. A gray mist formed on them, and the rugged and narrow bluestone road under their feet was very clean and smooth washed by the rain. The two of them stepped on the slimy. As if pouring sugar water on the ground, I climbed a gray-white stone arch bridge.
"There seems to be someone up ahead. Aree said and stopped, followed by the silver-haired boy.
"Huh?"
At the other end of the arched bridge, two tall and thin figures stood in the rain, with the corpses of four mercenaries lying at their feet, and they turned their heads to glance at the two people walking from behind.
One of them burst out laughing, unpleasantly unpleasant, not a human laugh, but an eerie, rough sound of a grinding wheel spinning.
"Look, Freddy, another poor little mercenary has broken in. β
"Anyway, it's also a speculator who covets treasures, and sooner or later an enemy, Jason, to kill them. The other replied in an unusually shrill voice.
"Let's do it together. β
"Well, together. β
The two turned around at the same time, revealing their true faces in the rain.
The person who spoke earlier was a strong man, dressed in a white sweater, holding a huge logging saw, the sharp serrations of which shimmered even in the dim light.
Even more terrifying than the weapon was the man's appearance, his face as if it were a rotten piece of wood about to rot and grow maggots, and the skin covered with dark red scars clung to the bones under the skin that seemed to have lost its elasticity, like a statue carved out of rotten wood, lifeless.
The other wore a brown-and-black top hat, a red-and-black striped tunics, and a right hand with sharp iron claws made of metal, and a skinny body of extremely malnourished flesh.
"Who are you two, going to kill someone the first time we meet?" Yalei was never a person who judged people by their appearance, but after seeing these two ugly ghosts, his stomach still couldn't help but spasm.
β......β
Bruno didn't speak, just narrowed his eyes warily.
"I'm Freddy, he's Jason, and people call us the Nightmare Brothers. β
The tall and thin man in the top hat touched his chest with one hand, saluted like a gentleman, and then spread his hands and said in an exaggerated tone:
"Actually, the two of us are not as terrible as the rumors, but we are more fond of abusing and killing young people. β
As he spoke, he looked at the silver-haired boy greedily and licked the iron claw of his right hand:
"Especially for a lovely boy like your companion, it is a great pleasure for me to cut through his fair and delicate skin, to peel off the slightest bit, and to listen to the helpless and desperate cry. β
"I see, you two are just simple perverted murderers. β
Yalei was about to make a move, but suddenly glanced back at the distance behind him, and his body immediately ejected, and his hands reached out like lightning, grabbed the two of them by the neck, pulled them up from the ground, and slapped each other hard in mid-air.
Bangββ!
The two figures, one strong and one scarf, collided fiercely, and the rain splashed in an instant, and at the same time there was a clattering sound of fractures.
After slapping the two of them in a daze, Arley shoved the piece of minced meat into Freddy's trouser pocket and disappeared in place, the silver-haired boy kicking each of them and disappearing into the rain.
"It's obviously two young people, why are they so powerful......"
Jason got up from the ground with a blank face, and was about to stand up straight, when his strong body suddenly tilted to the left, and fell on the bridge again.
"That pretty boy...... Just kicked and broke our left leg. β
Freddy clutched his broken left leg, a sinister smile on his scorched face, "But this little injury is nothing to me, and when I regenerate, I will let them know what a real nightmare is." β
At this moment, there was a muffled thunderous roar from behind, and in the distance, a huge black shadow like a mountain smashed into the ground, smashing the building where it fell into ruins, and then rose from the ground and roared into the sky.
"Damn, what's that?"
Jason looked up at where the shadow had disappeared, a hint of horror on his ugly face.
"I feel like we should leave as soon as possible. β
Freddy limped over and got up, suddenly felt something strange in his lower body, put his hand into his trouser pocket, and took out a red piece of meat, and then he showed a puzzled expression:
"What is this?"
Boom ββ!
A huge black shadow fell from the sky, with a heavy wave of qi visible to the naked eye, and fell fiercely in front of the two, smashing the back of the stone arch bridge into a huge basin of smoke and dust.
A huge bloated body quickly stood up from the basin, and the huge face made of countless pieces of leather showed an angry face, and his eyes fell on Freddy, who was slumped on the bridge deck:
"Black ......"
Then he glanced at Jason, who was struggling to stand up:
"White ......"
It immediately stretched out its broad palm, grabbed the stone arch bridge below, and pulled it hard, grabbing the entire stone bridge and the two people above in front of it:
"You killed Ellie!"
"Ellie, which Ellie?"
Freddy was a little dazed, and casually threw the piece of minced meat on the bridge deck, with a sneer on his face, rubbing his hands and saying:
"I mean, we didn't kill Ellie, she's a pretty girl. β
"That's right, we didn't kill Ellie, she's a pretty girl!" Jason replied with a blank face.
β......β
After the huge monster noticed the piece of minced meat on the bridge deck, its facial expression suddenly became extremely hideous, and the sutures on its skin broke off in large pieces, and let out an earth-shattering roar:
"You're lying!"
Boom ββ!
It grabbed the stone bridge and slammed it into the ground, slapping the stone arch bridge and the two villains into meat sauce at the same time.
