Chapter 298: Despicable Tricks
Although the giant fish was firmly confined to the tank through the entire process, it seemed to possess some special power, constantly causing serious damage to the spirits of the ordinary people around it.
When the self-proclaimed medical apprentices and armed soldiers saw the slowly writhing flesh with their own eyes, their previous knowledge and common sense immediately began to take a break.
The creature in front of me was a little too ugly.
Even the existence depicted in the most terrifying legends and tales of the Vann folk is extremely ordinary in the presence of such a fish, and the images that have been produced based on people's imagination and fear are still traceable, but now, they are facing a deformed monster full of unreasonable deformities.
The long whiskers that grow wantonly, the fins that constantly lap against the walls of the sink and try to support the body, and the cracked wounds and the strange structures that emerge from the inside of the wounds......
And just when the ordinary people in the laboratory were sick to their stomachs at the sight in front of them, this strange fish went one step further.
It seemed to have successfully captured the psychology of these onlookers, and the flesh and blood in the depths of the scars distributed on the side of the body began to writhe rapidly, but in a dozen seconds, people were horrified to find that the tissues in these scars had changed into bright yellow eyes, which turned uncontrollably, constantly observing everything around them, and casting dark eyes at the frightened people.
A strange mental disturbance swept through the laboratory at this moment.
Standing by the sink, Xiug and Weilin were undoubtedly the primary targets of the impact, but the former had long been numb to this level of interference, and instead of these seemingly terrifying sights, Xiuge was more concerned about the power that could compete with the fog of the abyss.
Wei Lin's mind was just as resilient, and she simply frowned at the twisted flesh, and then circled to the other side of the sink, ready to make the most of her fullest observations.
Except for the two of them, the rest of the people in the laboratory all had different symptoms at this time, under the control of fear, some apprentices turned around and fled the laboratory, and the soldiers with weapons in their hands became extremely nervous, their fingers were on the trigger, and they could fire their weapons at any time, as for Gerald and other people who had personally experienced the tragedy in Salem City and witnessed the terrifying appearance of the children of the abyss, they seemed more calm.
Shug noticed the nervousness of the Dawn Society soldiers, but just as he raised his hand and was about to cast a spell to calm their emotions, Meyer, who was standing nearby, suddenly coughed heavily.
Although Mayer did not master any magic, the strange thing is that his voice seemed to be a wake-up call in everyone's hearts at this moment, and Xiuge turned his head to look, only to see that although Mayer's face was pale, his expression was always calm and determined.
He looked around, and finally his gaze fell on the sink: "Ah...... Relax, you see, no matter how ugly and scary this monster is, it can now be locked in this little cage, and we can turn it into pulp whenever we want. ”
As he spoke, Meyer took the initiative to take a step towards the two soldiers in charge of the heavy machine gun, and he smiled and patted the barrel of the machine gun with his hand: "Do you think this guy is more difficult to deal with than those steel chariots that are rampage on the battlefield?" ”
The young Heavy came back to his senses, ashamed of his loss of consciousness and fear.
Facing the smiling Mayer, he licked his lips, glanced at the strange fish carefully, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Then it must still be a chariot!" I've heard from others that ordinary bullets can't penetrate it, you have to use cannonballs! ”
Seeing that Meyer's face was full of encouragement, the soldier added: "This monster, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold up for a few seconds, and it's going to be broken in two!" ”
At this moment, Meyer's smile brightened, and he laughed and patted the other soldier on the shoulder twice.
After seeing that the expressions of the people around him were also slightly soothed, he continued: "That's right, it may be able to scare others, but it should definitely not scare you...... Well, although the weapons in your hands cannot penetrate the thick iron plate, they will surely be able to break the rotten flesh of its body, and show confidence and courage, young men! ”
The words are simple and simple, but for the soldiers who have just been affected and shocked, such encouragement seems very effective.
Even the physician apprentices and alchemists who were trying to escape from the laboratory under the control of inexplicable fear forcibly stopped themselves, and although they still did not dare to continue to look directly at the twisted flesh of the strange fish, they also forcibly stopped their steps and stood firm with the help of other companions.
Xiuge looked at everything in front of him with some surprise, and seeing that the scene seemed to be under control, he nodded to Meyer, and then took two steps forward, ready to help Wei Lin with the subsequent experiments and dissections.
As if sensing the purpose of the two, the strange fish's body trembled again, and the eyeballs generated from the wound returned to their original flesh and blood state.
In the next second, a hard, tooth-like substance was formed from the edges of the wounds, and as the parrotfish's body continued to tremble, the "teeth" began to collide violently, creating a strange and rhythmic sound.
Xiuge, who had planned to completely restrain the monster fish and begin to try to collect its mucus, skin, and minced flesh, stopped at the same time.
Because this strange sound, after reaching their ears, transforms itself into concrete sentences that can be barely understood.
“…… Ignorance, stupidity...... Insect ant ...... Never changed...... Arrogant. ”
After hearing these scattered and confused words, Xiuge immediately moved his gaze to Meyer in the back, only to see that the other party also frowned again at this time, obviously, the "words" transmitted by the other party are not only understood by the caster.
The tiny tapping continued.
And all kinds of weird words are constantly being sent into people's minds.
This seems to be another kind of ability that Xiuge is not yet able to understand its specific principles, and through these fragmentary words, Xiuge realizes that the parrotfish in front of him, or the strange will that exists in it, can clearly understand the conversation between Meyer and the others just now.
Through the fragmentary words projected into his mind, Hug was surprised to find that this kind of conversation between the "lowly races" actually made the will that resides in the parrotfish feel extremely angry, dissatisfied, and confused.
It was angry at the behavior of the "traitors" in front of it and those who followed them, unhappy with the treatment it was currently subjected to, and confused by the words of Meyer and the others and their attitudes.
It couldn't comprehend the weapons the soldiers carried, much less the heavy machine guns that were supposed to be on the edge of the lab, which in its mind were merely "sticks" made of metal and wood.
Realizing the peculiarity of the "sample" in front of him, Shuge immediately waved his hand and motioned for everyone except Wei Lin to step back slightly.
Wondering about Shut up's movements, Willin didn't have any objections, as she keenly caught the strange and sinister smile that suddenly appeared on the guy's face, an expression that could be clearly associated with conspiracy and "bad ideas".
Then, without warning, the huge disc within the Xiuge Spirit World began to operate at full speed, accompanied by the sound of orderly and fine gears turning, and endless mist surged out from the several grooves that housed the power of the Abyss Court, and covered the entire disc in an instant.
At the same time, this deep magical mist also emerged from Xiuge's body.
In front of everyone, the magical mist completely locked the entire sink and its surrounding area, and with the meticulous movement of Xiuge, the mist even managed to seep into the operating protective ritual, and slowly burrowed into the sink through these magical rituals.
The sound of tiny tapping immediately stopped.
In the face of Xiug's undisguised and heavy malice, the will in the deformed giant fish instinctively cringed.
It can see Shuge as a "traitor", but it has no way to see the other party as a lowly ant, which is the result of the high level of consciousness of both sides and the true power they possess.
It was at this moment that Shuge smiled in the mist-blocked space, "That's interesting...... How? Don't dare to speak again now? ”
As he spoke, he came to the sink, his face almost touching the glass wall, and his gaze directly met the giant fish that was bound and wrapped in layers of abyss mist: "Go on, don't stop, isn't it very much?" I know you're still ...... After all, you can't leave at all now, can you? ”
The giant fish only opened its mouth slightly, and did not make any more sound, and now it seemed to have changed back to the original chaotic sea beast.
Seeing this, Shuge didn't bother to continue, he gestured to Wei Lin, and then the fog that bound the giant fish began to tighten rapidly, and finally fixed it completely in the sink.
At the same time, Wei Lin also pressed her palm on the top of the sink, and with the mobilization of magic power, several "rain and snow needles" that should be used for battle slowly appeared, and under the effect of magic power, they were quickly merged, and finally turned into a highly sharp ice blade.
Through Xiuge's performance, Wei Lin had already roughly guessed the other party's thoughts, and she didn't ask too much, but began to cut while opening her mouth to explain.
"Let's start with the slime."
As soon as the words fell, the sharp ice blade began to slash, and a large piece of twisted flesh stained with broken fish scales and a large amount of dark yellow slime was cut directly from the body of the giant fish, and before they could grow or change, Xiuge immediately manipulated the Abyssal Mist to wrap around it, and brought it to the reserved opening set up in the corner of the tank.
The ice blade made of lake-level magic has long surpassed ordinary blades in sharpness, and the pain it causes is extremely violent, based on the instinct of the fish, the parrotfish began to try a new round of struggle, but under the all-round suppression from Xiuge, it could not move at all, even if it succeeded in destroying a part of the abyssal mist, those gaps would be filled immediately.
Such a change perfectly validates Hugh's conjecture and the hints that Theseus had given in the past.
Sure enough, the forces belonging to different systems and gods are often not able to accommodate each other...... Although the two sides have similar heights in 'status', in general, the forces under different systems tend to be closer to mutual exclusion and confrontation. ”
Xiuge stared at the giant fish that was being cut by Wei Lin little by little, but he knew that the series of actions he had just made was very likely to have completely "locked" the will that occupied the body of the giant fish.
Now, no matter what the angry will may be, it has only two options.
Or choose to come out and have a head-on dialogue with Xiuge, a "traitor" of similar status.
Or, they will honestly be reduced to experimental material with this giant fish and be cut up completely.
Time passed little by little, and there were already more than a dozen alchemy containers that had been sent out of the misty area and handed over to Gerald and the others for safekeeping, and this parrotfish, which was originally extremely hideous, had now been cut into pieces by Wei Lin.
Under the containment effect of the Abyssal Mist, the mucus began to cease secreting gradually, and the repair and growth of the strange fish's flesh also stagnated, and its struggle was rapidly subsiding, Xiuge had a hunch that it would not be long before its vitality would be completely exhausted.
At this moment, a slight humming sound came into Xiuge's mind.
Perhaps it was because he only wanted to have a dialogue with Xiuge this time, and the will chose the original form of dialogue, so that strange syllables and complex lines once again appeared in Xiuge's consciousness.
"Betrayer...... Defector...... The Black Sun Returns...... But you still choose to be with the insects and ants......"
Different from the previous tone of resentment, the current voice seemed extremely weak, as if it was about to completely dissipate in the next second.
So Shug stopped Wei Lin from continuing to stab, he stared at the sink and asked silently, "I need to know who is talking to me now...... Or, who are you acting as a messenger for? ”
The giant fish's large piece of rotten flesh covering the pupils slowly moved away, and the godless eyes slowly turned: "When I disappear, the colony will also be aware...... Waiting for the Lord of the Boundless Sea...... Land...... cease to exist, and the betrayers will be annihilated......"
The giant fish writhed slowly, and one strange text after another of strange words appeared in Xiuge's mind.
At this moment, Xiuge finally understood who he was talking to.
He really didn't expect that not long after the black sun rose, he had already been given the opportunity to talk head-on with the family of the sea god Calron.
