Chapter 400: Monster! The real body?
Behind him! Frank's face turned pale in an instant. Everyone looked behind him with expressions like they had seen a ghost!
A chill spread along his back and spread to his whole body, making his body a little stiff, and he couldn't even do a simple head turning action for a while!
Cold sweat dipped and wet his back. No...... How could it be behind him? Frank's throat trembled, and he squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and asked the tavern members in front of him, "Guys, I seem to have had auditory hallucinations just now, you guys...... Did you hear ......" His whole body began to tremble, and his voice became more and more unsteady, until at last he could not even speak the whole sentence.
In front of him, on a monitor, there was clearly the figure of the masked monster. The masked monster could be seen standing outside the tavern, about ten meters away from the tavern gate, motionless, not taking a single step, as if thinking about something.
If the masked monster is outside, what's behind him? Who made that voice just now?
All the tavern members in front of him looked behind him with an extremely shocked gaze, as if they had seen something extremely incredible.
"Ladies and gentlemen...... I...... You ......" Frank's lips trembled as if he had fallen into the abyss, and his whole body was enveloped in fear and fear.
He really didn't dare to turn his head! How he wished that someone could speak up now and say what was behind him!
Is it a masked monster? If not, what is it? However, no one told him, and the entire tavern fell into a deathly silence, as if everyone had been petrified, unable to say a word, just staring behind him.
The members who whispered that they would fight to the end did not even raise their weapons now, but just stared, and their eyeballs seemed to jump out of their sockets.
What exactly did they see? Frank's heart trembled, and he looked at the nearest member with a pleading eye.
"That's ......" He was shocked, his brain buzzed instantly, his brain went blank for an instant, and he couldn't believe the reflection he saw in that member's hole.
What's that? In that member Tong Kong, there is naturally Frank's figure, and behind Frank, there is actually ...... A silvery-white man!
"......" Frank's scalp was numb, his whole body was cold, and he subconsciously deviated his neck. But he may have been too stiff, and there was a katcha from his neck, but it was only deflected in a slight arc, and he couldn't see the specific appearance of the person behind him.
At this moment, the cold voice sounded behind him again: "Turn around, if you can't do it, I can help you." β
"No, no......" Frank hurriedly begged for mercy and turned cautiously. In the rear he saw this
When he was "human", the whole person couldn't stop trembling, and his face became whiter, without a trace of blood, like a corpse that had been dead for a long time.
Behind him, it's clearly a monster! The monster, with no facial features and a smooth face, was a faceless man, covered in a silvery-white color, and appeared to be some kind of liquid metal, like a creature composed purely of liquid mercury.
On his surface, the silvery-white skin showed irregular undulations, as if it would change into another shape in the next second.
"Noodles...... The masked monster ...... "Frank was desperate, his body shaking, and he looked shaky.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered some rumors. Legend has it that the masked monster's body is not a human at all, but a special metal, just like the automaton, which only accidentally possesses a mind and becomes a living organism.
During the Psionic Age, many animals had undergone mutations, and some plants had different traits than before.
And so on, will ores, metals, etc., also change? Could this masked monster be a metal monster at all?
This idea is a bit absurd, a little unrealistic, and it seems ridiculous, but now ...... The silver-white monster that appeared in front of Frank's eyes, shining with a metallic luster, seemed to have come out of some sci-fi horror movie, with bloodthirsty killing intent all over his body, which was terrifying.
"You...... You're in......" Frank's teeth chattered.
"What? Didn't you call me in? The metal man spoke. He didn't have a mouth, but he made a sound, and the scene was quite penetrating.
And, though he also had no eyes, Frank could feel a pair of terrifying eyes staring at him.
"I ...... I mean......" Frank's face turned pale, and he could still speak, which was already quite good for his mental health.
In the face of death, there are not many people who can still organize words. In the tavern, most of the other members of the tavern were speechless now, just staring at the silver-white metal man in shock, and the expressions on their faces had stiffened, as if they were looking at some kind of alien creature.
Only a few people still have a part of their sanity and can barely think. They're thinking...... If the metal man in front of you is a masked monster, then who is that person standing on the street outside?
This question hovers in their minds and lingers all the time. From this question, derives another, more terrifying question - if both are masked monsters, then who is the main body?
"Is it ......" A terrible thought suddenly came to the minds of some of the tavern members.
Could it be that for a long time, this human masked monster walking outside was just a flesh and blood puppet controlled by metal monsters?
Is it man who controls metal, or does metal control man? Once this terrible thought appears, it will never go away!
The Zerg has a parasite that can parasitize on the host, get a part of the host's memories, and control all the host's behaviors, and over time, it can even completely integrate with the host and grow with the host!
So, will this metal monster have similar abilities? And so on...... Will many of the people who live around them be controlled or parasitized?
Thinking like this, some of the members instantly gasped, only to feel that the world in front of them suddenly became terrifying, as if there were monsters everywhere and crises everywhere.
Right now, Frank is the only one facing this crisis. His expression was miserable, as if he had been drained of all his strength, and his whole body collapsed, leaning on the table and chair behind him, and his voice trembled: "Mask Monster, you...... Who are you? β
"I am me, who else can I be?" Su Xia responded firmly. This silver-white metal man was naturally combined by him with countless small nanobots.
As for the appearance, he imitated the liquid metal man T1000 in "Terminator 2", but made some changes to the details.
That metal man was the shadow of his childhood, and it scared him a lot when he was a child. Now, it's up to him to scare people.
"You...... You're a monster......"
"Who isn't a monster yet?" Su Xia sneered: "Frank, aren't you going to invite me to drink?" β
"I ...... I ......" Frank was completely panicked, didn't know what to do, and subconsciously picked up a red wine bottle next to him with a trembling hand.
He did say before that he would invite Su Xia in for a drink, but he didn't think it would be the current situation.
He just wanted to slap himself in the face now. What did you do with such a cheap mouth just now?
"Wine ...... ...... wine, his lips turned white, and he didn't know what to say. Then, there was another scene that frightened him and the rest.
I saw that Su Xia's stomach suddenly cracked, and a crack appeared, like a big mouth in the abyss. In the crack in the abdomen, there was a bloody red light, and the amorphous internal structure crawling with blood on the surface could be vaguely seen, like broken internal organs, and like festering carrion, which was extremely weird, and it made people's scalps tingle at a glance.
Then, he took the bottle from Frank's hand and threw it directly into the crack in his stomach.
"Kacha-Kacha-" There was a chewing sound in the silver-white metal abdominal cavity, as if there were invisible abnormal fangs inside, crushing the wine bottle, digesting the wine along with the bottle dregs!
A wisp of sweet red wine wafted out of the cracks. Subsequently, the fissure slowly closes and reforms to a flat surface of the abdomen, which is silvery-white.
At this scene, many tavern members felt cold on their backs, and a chill spread from their backs to their whole bodies. No wonder...... In the field where the monsters fought in front of them, the corpses were always fragmented and could not be put together at all.
"Could it be that some of the pieces of the corpses were swallowed by him?" This even more terrifying thought spread through everyone's minds, making them even more frightened.
What kind of monster is this? The metal man made an indifferent voice: "Very good, drink the wine, let's talk about business." β
"Positive...... Serious business? Frank's heart trembled, and he subconsciously longed to take two steps back, but behind him were tables and chairs, and he couldn't retreat anymore.
Is this metal man going to kill him? In the face of such a monster, how can he have any hope of surviving?
How is he going to fight? At this moment, the despair in his heart was infinitely magnified by fear, and he even forgot that he was still a psionic creature himself.
He looked pleading at the rest of the tavern members around him, hoping that they would help him out of the metal man's grasps.
But all he saw was the stiff faces of the shocked, and many of them still had fear on their faces.
These wine crown members have no intention of making a move. In the end, he could only look desperately at the small room on the side of the hall.
"Save ...... Save me...... "That room is his last hope!" The man in the wheelchair in the room, as well as the woman in black, the two of them made a promise that they would definitely save his life!
Those two men were from the tavern headquarters, and their promise represented the tavern's promise. However, at this moment, in the room, the woman in black also opened her eyes wide.
Her gaze was almost glazed, staring blankly at the silver-white metal monster on the screen.
"That'...... Is that the real body of the masked monster? In disbelief, she rubbed her eyes and muttered, "Divine stick, are you doing these arrangements just to force out the true body of the masked monster and verify your conjecture?" β
"Perhaps...... Right? At this moment, uncertain words appeared in the mouth of the wheelchair man.
He rubbed his eyebrows, a trace of pain flashed on his face, his body was already at the limit, but he still looked at the figure on the screen, refusing to take his eyes off and rest.
Is that metal man really the real body of the masked monster? The woman in black muttered in a low voice: "Impossible, this has never happened, could it be that he is an alternative mechanical creature?" But why would he be against the automatons? Could it be that something is wrong within the automatons? Is he an experimental subject of a cyborg on some evolutionary path? Or ......" In the hall, the silver-white creature subverted her cognition.
Ever since the Mask Geek became famous, countless people have been searching for his heels, hoping to find out what lies beneath that mask.
However, the earliest record of the masked monster can only be traced back to Luoxing Town. He seems to have appeared out of nowhere, and suddenly has a powerful ability, and then inexplicably confronts the automaton, there is no story in between, as if he was born to fight against the automaton.
Many have speculated that the masked monster could have been a test subject created by the automatons? If it weren't for that, how could he have such a hatred for the mechanical creatures?
Many organizations know that the mechanical race is trying different evolutionary paths, and there are experimental bases all over the world, trying to find a more perfect evolutionary direction, such as the experiments of those half-human and half-worms in the underground of Coral City.
"What the hell is he...... Person? The woman in black's heart shook, and it was hard to even determine whether the masked monster was human.
Perhaps, only
The word "monster" is more appropriate.
"Could it be...... Liquid metal? She thought again, "The masked monster can control liquid metal to form his clone, and as for making sounds, all you need to do is put a sounder inside the clone...... What do you think? β
"Well, but ...... What kind of liquid metal do you think it is? The man in the wheelchair asked her rhetorically.
"Elemental gallium?" The woman in black thought about it, gallium has a very low melting point, and it has supercooling properties, and the surface is almost silvery-white.
But she quickly shook her head again: "No, it shouldn't be, the color doesn't look like ......" She thought of several metal elements, but she didn't feel like them, those metal elements couldn't give her the feeling at the moment.
If it was really liquid metal, then what were those wriggling flesh-like structures in the rift in his abdomen just now?
"Don't think too much about it, I just want to verify whether he has the means to do it." The wheelchair man said suddenly.
"A means of controlling liquid metal?" The woman in black asked,
"As long as you can control solid metals, you can definitely control liquid metals, and there should be nothing to verify about this."
"No, I'm just suspicious ......" The wheelchair man stared at the screen, his fingers tapping on the armrest. It can be seen that he is not at peace now.
The woman in black asked, "Divine stick, what do you suspect?" Isn't that metal? What else could it be? It can't be a transformable robot, right? β
"You're right, I'm suspicious of this." The wheelchair man nodded,
"And, perhaps, not a robot."
"What do you mean?" The woman in black asked again.
"Past examples have shown that the masked monster has powerful capabilities in reconnaissance, counter-reconnaissance, tracking, and anti-tracking." The wheelchair man explained.
"That's a good explanation, he's definitely learned about it." The woman in black said.
"But he'll make some low-level mistakes." Said the wheelchair man.
"People make mistakes."
"He shouldn't have made a mistake."
"You think there's something else to help the Maskequish Scouting?"
"Hmm......" The wheelchair man kept looking at the picture, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light. But at this moment, all the displays in the room suddenly exploded, and with a bang, electric sparks flickered, debris flew everywhere, and a puff of smoke came out.
The woman in black changed her expression and realized that the masked monster had done something to them.
"KatsaβKatsaβ" An eerie sound rang out around the room, making people feel a little sore.
Immediately after, the door twisted, the ceiling was deformed, and only a boom was heard, and the whole room actually shrank inward, as if it was being squeezed by an incomparably terrifying force.
With a bang, the ceiling shattered completely, and the cement blocks fell in a swoop, revealing the complex steel bars inside.
The steel bars twisted and creaked like screams, descending and compressing the height of the room.
The face of the woman in black completely changed: "Damn, that monster wants to trap us here!" β
