Chapter Twenty-Four: The Vanishing Stranger
Pedal stomped...
The sound of chaotic footsteps echoed in the quiet streets, the cold city shrouded in mist under the dark night, and the light of the camping lamps kept moving forward, reflecting the dark shadows of one fat and one thin.
The five peeps explored their own path around Rorschach, and with their help, the two of them moved much faster.
Cao Yusheng raised a hand to hold the little paper man in front and lead the way.
This is the first time since the weirdness came, and Cao Yusheng has gone so deep into the treacherous fog.
The quiet atmosphere, the cold air, and the strange sounds that came from time to time in the mist made him feel extremely flustered.
"Brother Luo, how can you not be afraid of these strange creatures?"
Cao Yusheng, who looked nervous, turned around and asked Rorschach for advice.
Rorschach said without thinking: "Well, this, it's good to get used to it~"
is indifferent on the surface, but in fact he is complaining in his heart.
I know a ball! I'm scared too!!
Yes, Rorschach was just as nervous now, afraid that something would suddenly emerge from the dim mist and bite him on the neck.
The thought of this makes the base of my neck feel a faint chill.
At this time, his backbone was constantly sweating, and his clothes were sticking to his back, which was very sticky and uncomfortable.
But! This must be pretended!
We are the backbone of this rescue, and we have to act like we are in control of the victory, so that Cao Yusheng and the rescuer are not so nervous.
What about being afraid? If you are afraid, you should hide.
Fear just comes from the unknown, and when you get used to it, you really don't have to be afraid.
In short, just bite the bullet!
In fact, Rorschach's original personality was more salty, and he could lie down and never stand, otherwise he would not have operated a small supermarket for so long.
But in this situation, if you don't fight, you will die a miserable death!
What pushes him forward is a strong sense of crisis!
As he was walking, the combat glasses suddenly lit up with a red light representing a hazard alert, indicating that the No. 1 and No. 3 probes in front of them had found anomalies.
Rorschach's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly motioned for Cao Yusheng to stop, and then turned on the pictures of No. 1 and No. 3 probes.
[Connecting the No. 1 and No. 3 probe screens.] ใ
ใConnection successful!ใ ใ
Rorschach's field of vision squeezed into the field of vision of two peepers.
Probe Eye No. 1, 67 meters to the left.
Under the street lamp, a naked, emaciated strange man covered his face, squatted on the ground and let out a long cry, sometimes angry, sometimes sad.
The strange man has yellow skin and slender limbs like branches, and looks like an incongruous and strange feeling.
"Woooooooooooooooo
"Kill them! I'm going to kill them! โ
"They saw my face! Damn it! I'm going to kill them! โ
The keen intuition brought by the spider's induction tells Rorschach that this strange man is very dangerous!! And it seems that like a bird's beak zombie, it is not afraid of lights!
Rorschach secretly noted down the location, then manipulated the peep away from the stranger and continued to explore the way.
At this time, 97 meters away, the No. 3 eye on the right side is a green night vision picture, and in the darkness, a strange man in a black robe stands in the middle of the road, like a dead thing.
Suddenly, it seemed to be aware of something, and it turned sharply and looked this way.
Rorschach's heart trembled, which is a human face, it is clearly a monster with a bird's beak open!
But he seems to be a little different from the bird-beaked monster he saw before.
As for what is different, Rorschach can't say.
I saw that the man's face was a strange dark purple, and a beak like a crow glowed with a metallic luster, extremely sharp.
And above the beak-like beak of a bird are a pair of dead gray eyes with no pupils.
At this time, the pair of dead white pupils were looking straight at this side.
"Hey, hey."
"Hey, hey, hey..."
The black-robed stranger let out a strange laugh, and his voice was like that of an obnoxious crow.
Rorschach's body stiffened suddenly, and he felt as if the black-robed weirdo was looking at him!
"What's wrong?"
Cao Yusheng asked nervously.
Rorschach raised his hand to signal Cao Yusheng not to speak, and at this moment, a pair of sharp claws suddenly appeared from under the strange man's black robe.
Then, in an awkward manner, it rushed in the direction of the peekout.
Although Rorschach knew that the black-robed stranger was going for the peekout, he was immersed in the scene when he got the peeking vision, and he felt that the strange man with teeth and claws was rushing towards him.
I saw the strange man leap up, his claws poking out from under the black robe, and slamming them towards the peeking eye.
Seeing that the No. 3 probe is about to be scrapped under the sharp claws!
Rorschach hurriedly used his consciousness to manipulate the probe to the side to increase the power to run the engine, and suddenly accelerated, and dodged without danger.
After dodging the attack, Rorschach hurriedly let Peepeye flee the area.
The black-robed strange man raised his head, let out a strange "hehe" grin, and chased after the peek.
It's incredibly fast, and you can't get rid of it even if you increase the speed of the eye probing.
Rorschach had no choice but to manipulate the probe eye to fly towards the sky, and soon flew to a height of tens of meters.
The speed of the eye probe has been pulled to the maximum, and the originally silent body motor emits a violent "buzzing" vibration sound.
However, the strange man on the ground kicked hard, and a pair of demon-like black wings came out of the black robe.
The black wings spread more than 2 meters, flapped violently, set off a hurricane, and the body jumped straight into the air at a high speed.
The strange man soared through the air like a giant blackbird, and soon caught up.
Rorschach's face was ugly.
Completely impossible to get rid of! If this continues, Probe 3 will sooner or later be scrapped under the claws of the stranger!
Sacrificing the No. 3 probe to lure the weirdos away?
Rorschach frowned, it was difficult to make this decision!
This has just entered the fog, and a probing eye is scrapped, how to go next?
Don't look at it just as a peek, it's the biggest security guarantee for this trip! One less, the safety factor will be greatly reduced!
"No! This eye-poke must be saved! โ
Rorschach was resolute, and immediately summoned all the rest of the probes through the combat glasses, and on the other side, he controlled the No. 3 probe to approach his side.
The other four probes moved rapidly, providing Rorschach with their vision.
With the help of the four probes, Rorschach's mind quickly formed the road situation in front of him.
After a quick analysis, Rorschach took a few steps to the left, then took out the Demon Slayer Crossbow and aimed it at the sky ahead.
Rorschach's eyes were foggy, but in his mind's prediction, there was a corner 43 meters ahead, and in a few seconds, Probe 3 would emerge from the corner with the black-robed monster.
1 second!
2 seconds!
3 seconds!
With the white shooting talent on his arm, Rorschach took a deep breath and jerked the trigger.
"Whoosh!"
Sharp arrows break through the fog and gallop forward!
At the same time, Probe 3 jerked out of the corner.
"Hey, hey, hey!!"
The black-robed strange man opened his mouth with interest and smiled strangely
However, at the moment of rushing out of the corner, a reddish arrow pinched the time, whistling, and pierced directly through his chest.
The black-robed monster froze for a moment, like a kite with a broken string falling from a high altitude.
"Bang!"
The stranger slammed into a car, and shards of glass fell to the ground.
The strange man roared angrily, quickly got to his feet, and disappeared into the mist in a flash.
Rorschach frowned, 5 poking eyes, all of them lost their target.
The weirdo, suddenly gone!
