Chapter 5: Escape
Burke turned away, and the "Reese" revealed its original appearance.
It was a humanoid.
He looks a bit like a one-eyed monk covered in thorny skin.
On the sleek head, there are no facial features, and the whole face is filled with a huge eye.
Upon closer inspection, he found that there was a mouth under each of his armpits on his left and right sides, and there was also a magatama pattern on the palms of his left and right hands.
After killing the monster, Burke's memory was fully restored, and he didn't even know when he was hit, maybe when he stepped into the room.
This also explains why the house seems to be inhabited, and the problem of perplexing Burke is solved.
"No wonder this mission is worth 1.3 million people." Burke couldn't help but sigh.
This monster can not only check your memories, but also modify them, and even create illusions.
If it weren't for Burke's extreme personality and behavior, ordinary people might not be able to detect it.
After all, even if he detected so many suspicious points, Burke couldn't be 100% sure.
It was a memory in my head, and I didn't deny it so easily.
The monster may have checked Burke's memories and was afraid that Burke would actually do it, so he planned to use hallucinations to scare Burke away.
As a result, he never expected that when Burke saw the maggot wave coming, he did not choose to dodge at the first time, but shot him first.
Overall, this trip is not a loss.
In addition to money, more importantly, it will make him know a little more about the world, and he will be more vigilant in the future, so that the chances of returning home will increase a few more points.
Burke untied the bandage, the wound had been rewounded and needed to be rebandaged.
However, after untying the bandage, Burke was a little surprised that the flesh that had been split into spicy strips by him had recovered a lot.
"Work well in the future, I'll feed you, and you take me home."
As soon as the words fell, the ten eyes of the ten-eyed python also looked at Burke, as if they understood Burke's words.
Burke put away the ten-eyed python and the green ball of light.
He checked it again, then threw the monster's body off Mushroom Island.
After confirming that the "lake" did not exist, he took the elevator to the bottom of the lake and returned the same way.
Originally, I wanted to wait until my left hand was almost restored before going back, so it would be safer to do so.
But when I think about it, if the maggots do come back, it's over.
Leave this mushroom island and return to land, even if maggots attack him, there is a chance for him.
"I knew that this 1.3 million was not so easy to make......," Burke laughed miserably.
As soon as I climbed up from the bottom of the lake, I found that the group of guys were guarding it.
Burke pulled out a dagger and slowly slipped through the bandages around his left hand.
The maggots also found their target, and they rushed madly.
Burke pulled out a new piece of bandage and shoved it into his mouth, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The next moment, he suddenly opened his fierce eyes, clenched his right hand into a fist, and smashed it fiercely towards the flowering wound of his left hand.
After three punches, the wound on his left hand completely collapsed and even expanded.
He took out the thorn mealworm and sprinkled it directly into the rotten flesh of his left hand.
Zila!
The sound of roasting meat suddenly came.
Burke's entire neck and face instantly turned red, and the green tendons in his neck burst out.
The whole body trembled uncontrollably, the whole face was covered with cold sweat, and the cheeks trembled with pain.
One, two, three......
Open your eyes!
Burke trembled and raised the ten-eyed python and pulled the trigger.
The red light suddenly appeared, and the terrifying energy instantly turned those maggots into nothingness.
Burke dragged his aching body to a brisk pace.
Fortunately, after the severe pain, the left hand is also recovering.
Although the medicine is irritating, the effect is much stronger than ordinary medicine, but most people can't bear the pain it brings.
Under the medicinal effect of the stinging mealworm and the recovery effect of the ten-eyed python, the rotten left hand is recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As the pain became less and less, Burke gradually regained his momentum, and he began to run.
But the number of white maggots spread all the way to the eighteenth nozzle, and Burke would not be able to reach it at all for a while.
"They're still waiting for me..."
"I need to go back......"
Watching the maggots swallow the road, Burke pulled out a bamboo skewer that had been modified.
The originally smooth bamboo skewers are now filled with numerous and dense barbs.
He aimed at the finger of his thumb and pushed it forward without hesitation, and the bamboo stick instantly pierced into the flesh, but this was not over, Burke immediately grabbed the end of the bamboo stick, and his eyes were red, he let out a beastly roar, and instantly ripped the bamboo stick out.
Tear and pull!
A large amount of flesh was scraped out by the barbs, and a bloody hole was opened in the gap between the nails, and the flesh in the bloody hole was all turned outward.
The ten-eyed python also immediately lit up with four eyes.
Burke also pulled the trigger.
…………
Dirk Town, No. 18 Pipe Mouth.
"It's still the most comfortable to stay in this place, and you don't have to worry about anything, and you don't need to care about anything, you can get paid here every day."
A law enforcement team guarding the eighteenth pipe mouth sat on the ground very leisurely, and crossed Erlang's legs.
"Who says it's not, it's also remote, and no one usually passes by, so we won't be found out if we're lazy." Another enforcement team is just as relaxed.
"It would be nice to keep the eighteenth pipe mouth every day."
"What you think is quite beautiful, if you really guard the eighteenth pipe mouth every day, I guess you won't come to work, just lie at home and receive your salary."
"My dream in this life is to lie down and get paid."
"It seems that it is destined to be unrealized."
Rumble!!!!!
When the two were bragging and teasing each other, a loud noise suddenly came from the mouth of the pipe behind them, accompanied by a strong vibration.
Frightened, they immediately stood up and pulled out their weapons and looked inside the mouth.
"What's going on? Got a monster coming out? One guy said nervously.
"What nonsense, the nozzle has been specially treated, how can the monster come out." Another enforcement team reminded.
"What was that noise just now?" He asked.
"How do I know?"
"You say...... Could it be that guy who came back alive, right? ”
"Man, it's more reliable for a monster to come out of the pipe than for him to come back alive."
"That's right, Reece once rushed in with thirty or forty people, and now I haven't seen anyone come out of it alive, let alone him."
"There is a sound of footsteps!! The law enforcement team suddenly exclaimed, and pointed their pistols at the mouth of the pipe with both hands.
At this moment, both guys held their breath and looked at the mouth of the tube with solemn eyes, they didn't know what would come out of it, and nervousness and fear filled their brains.
As the footsteps got closer and closer, I saw a man covered in blood limping out of the bone tube.
The two enforcement teams' eyes widened until Burke's familiar face was caught in the retina, and they were completely frozen.
Burke walked between the two of them tremblingly, repeating the phrase "Go back... Get back... Go back ......."
Thump.
As soon as he got out of the bone tube, he could no longer support it and fell down.
"Man! Hold! The law enforcement team shouted.
"Get to the hospital!"
