Chapter XXIII. Mind Eater

After planning to infiltrate Clam Pharmaceutical.

Rosetta made multiple preparations for this operation.

It is one of them to use the same technique to quickly master the swordsmanship of the 'Rational Hidden Fox Flow', and the second is to take the 'Tooth of Entanglement' to improve the basic strength.

As for the third.

That is the strange phenomenon that appeared on me on the night of the spiritual awakening.

If you can master this kind of almost free way to reset your physical state like going back in time, then Rosetta will also have a great life-saving hole card.

But it's a pity that in just a few days, there was no miracle that allowed him to develop spiritual energy so quickly.

However, although the original planned goal did not succeed, in the process, Rosetta unexpectedly discovered another role of his psionic power.

That is.

- Camouflage.

Maybe it's because he was infected by the toxin on the corpse dog's claws during the battle, or maybe it's because he inherited some of Watanabe's physical abilities and abilities through the 'Tooth of the Stream'.

In short, when he tried to use psionic energy to retrace his physical state, he found that he seemed to control the expression of a certain flesh factor, that is, to make psychic energy memorize a part of the 'corpse dog', which further prominence, temporarily covering a part of the 'human'.

In this state, not only will the breath of a human be replaced by the breath of a corpse dog, but Rosetta has been tested, and after entering this form, his body structure will also undergo certain changes, with a taller height, stronger explosiveness and resilience, and at the same time, the color of his face and pupils will also change.

Cracking sound.

A crunchy sound of bones.

Quietly, Rosetta raised his hand to wipe his face, then lowered his head and looked at the water under his feet, and saw that in the reflection of the water, there was only a strange and cold face, and a pair of pupils with a scarlet color.

A tall man in a long trench coat of 1.98 meters puts back on the sunglasses he had prepared.

He raised his head and looked at the complex belonging to the razor clams not far away, and rubbed his fingers on the chain pendant hanging on his chest, and a burst of momentum belonging to the 'head dog', or some kind of 'pheromone', was released from the entanglement fangs that he had deliberately retained, and completed the last part of his disguise.

Under the gaze of the countless corpse dogs hidden in the darkness around the complex.

He walked through the patrols and walked to the building in the center of the complex.

The wind brought the sound of breathing and heartbeat in the shadows, and Rosetta's gaze passed over the dead dogs, and her scarlet eyes turned to the man at the front desk through the glass door.

He should be the head dog, because normal corpse dogs will instinctively avoid higher-level existences, but this guy is different, seeing Rosetta's arrival, he raised his head with interest and looked directly over.

"Hah, the new face." He tapped his fingers on the table at the front desk, as if he was suspicious, and said in a joking tone: "Friend, I shouldn't have seen you, you shouldn't be some ghost sent by outsiders, right?" ”

"Have you ever seen a ghost like me?"

As he spoke, Rosetta walked in unhurriedly, stopped at the front desk, and said calmly without panic in his eyes: "Moreover, don't you feel the same kind of feeling on me?" ”

Dead dogs and dead dogs do not rely on images, but rely on smells to identify each other.

This kind of judgment based on good ability is not a problem most of the time, but because of this, it is more difficult to detect it when it is misled.

And.

Or maybe Rosetta's attitude is too open.

Hearing this, after confirming that the smell on his body was correct, the other party quickly dispelled his suspicions and said with a smile: "I really haven't seen an inner ghost like you. ”

"That's right."

Rosetta nodded happily, and swept her eyes over the camera on the ceiling of the front desk without a trace of her gaze.

Although in most parts of Yingzhou, this kind of modern electronic monitoring equipment has not yet been popularized, but according to the principle that good things are given priority to the upper class, a strict monitoring system has indeed begun to be used, in parallel with human patrols.

He knew that even if he had just passed the current level, his disguise was not completely safe, and it was only a matter of time before he was discovered, so he did not waste time, but disappeared around the corner with a turn.

At the same time, the head dog at the front desk looked at his back, a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes, he touched his chin, and he couldn't tell what was strange.

-

Even if there is a tight defense outside, I am afraid that most of the corpse dogs that are free-range in the old city have shrunk back in the past few days.

But in the interior of the Clam Pharmaceutical Center Building, the Shenzu Club was not careless, but also set up a team of patrolling corpse dogs, and the quality was much higher than that outside, each of them seemed to have undergone strict training to restrain the bloodthirsty beast in their hearts.

For Rosetta.

The existence of these corpse dog patrols is even more troublesome than the head dog at the front desk.

Undoubtedly, the former's combat effectiveness cannot be compared to the latter, who has the ability, but their alertness will be stronger than the latter, and it is difficult to use any reason to successfully get through.

Infiltrating the central building of Clam Pharmaceuticals is only the first step in Rosetta's plan.

The second step in the plan was to find the location of the technical information on the so-called 'gospel medicine' that the Divine Football Club had.

Compared with others, in this regard, Rosetta has an advantage that cannot be replicated - psionic energy, as long as he finds the person who knows where the technical data is stored and kills it, even if the soul quality of the other party is not enough to condense the memory of the embodied object, but relying on this method, he can also get a part of the other party's vague memory.

As a result, the problems he had to solve now became two very simple.

The first is the Corpse Dog Patrol, and the second is the person who knows the location of the technical data.

In Rosetta's opinion, these two questions can actually be further simplified into one, because he can also use this method to use psionic energy to search for the location of technical information insiders from the brains of the corpse dog patrol.

As he spoke, the next moment, footsteps could be heard in the corridor in the distance.

There are also means of hiding his whereabouts in this assassination swordsmanship, and when he heard the movement, Rosetta immediately hid and slowed down the pace of breathing, and then several men in security uniforms walked out from around the corner.

He sniffed out the smell of corpse dogs on these people, and was about to do it directly, but when he heard what these people were talking about, he stopped again.

"Hey, have you heard of that 'Invisible Mind Eater' in the past few days?"

"That urban legend that suddenly went viral?"

"Yes, it is said that it is a monster that can't see or make any sound, as long as at a certain time in the night, when half of the body is not lit, and loses sight of the person in front of him for ten seconds, the invisible mind eater will suddenly choke his neck from behind, and then pull out his heart and eat it."

"But it's just a recent urban legend."

"Oh, is it? Do you really think so? The man who walked in front suddenly stopped, and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "But I do hear that many of our kind have died inexplicably in the old city, and almost all of them have broken necks and taken out hearts. ”

"Even if someone really dies like this, it's because this is the only way to kill us, and I'd rather believe that they were killed by some kind of person than that they died at the hands of some inexplicable invisible mind eater."

The person walking behind made a categorical comment: "What an invisible mind eater, this kind of name sounds like a miscellaneous fish in a third-rate horror novel." ”

Rosetta couldn't agree more.

"That's true, but don't you think this urban legend is a bit like our current situation?" The man who walked in front joked: "At a certain time in the evening, there is no light on half of your body, and now we have met two of the three conditions for the Mind Eater to appear, maybe when you lose sight of me for ten seconds, the next moment, the Heart Eater will come out, strangle your neck, and then pull out the heart." ”

Only his own voice echoed in the narrow, dimly lit hallway.

The man who was still talking to him before, and the man who walked behind him seemed to fall silent suddenly, and did not answer.

Immediately, in the silent silence, a terrifying and terrifying feeling slammed into the former's mind, making him instinctively swallow his saliva, his heartbeat began to accelerate, and even some of the black hair of the corpse dog grew unconsciously.

"Suda, you talk quickly, and the stuffy jar of Ushijima, aren't you also following behind!"

Turning to look at the dark corridor behind him, which had been empty for some time, he couldn't help but call out loudly, but there was still only an eerie silence.

No......

More than silence.

And the subtle sound of liquid ticking on the ground!

From behind him, Rosetta's hand, still dripping with fresh blood, pressed on his shoulder, and then slowly choked his neck.

"I think you're right, so I'll settle the two of them first."

A calm voice came, and then he heard the tooth-aching twisting of bones and the sound of a sharp knife tearing flesh.

He looked down and saw only a bony palm, bursting from his chest, and ...... There seemed to be a beating heart in the palm of that hand.

Whose heart does it belong to? ’

It's a pity that this question hasn't had time to arise in his mind.

- His consciousness was already in a drowsy.
