Chapter 35: Leave it to me
Outside the auditorium, it's like a nightmare.
In other words, the whole world outside the auditorium is like a most terrifying nightmare.
A huge phantom of silt, almost covering the entire present world, the phantom is hanging upside down, countless tentacle-like black shadows stretch out from the jelly-like silt surface, grasping everything that can be grasped in the present world, once everything that is not fixed is caught, it will soon be swallowed into the body by the silt, making the silt even stronger.
Even the monsters that had lost their minds did not escape their fate, and they were immediately caught by the shadows and dragged back to their bodies. Most of each monster's body was swallowed, leaving only a small part exposed, some with a head, and some with an arm or leg, conspicuously exposed to the surface of the massive silt. These uneaten parts either open and close their lips angrily, or dance and twitch like a living person struggling inside, making everyone who sees it involuntarily fearful.
Indeed, there are living people.
Even with Algan in the lead, there were still a few townsfolk who were defending outside the auditorium who couldn't dodge the oncoming Shadow Hand and screamed and were dragged into the air, and the people below tried desperately to stop but had no choice but to watch their friends and companions being dragged into the mud and become part of it. And even if most of it has been swallowed, the exposed head will still shout and howl, and a cry and scream will fill the outside of the auditorium, making everyone feel extremely worried.
"Retreat, retreat to the auditorium." Algan swung his sword and knocked down a few shadow hands that reached nearby, and he didn't care about the order back, "Go quickly, inform the people inside, prepare to retreat to the underground shelter, the auditorium will not be able to hold on." ”
It's really about to run out of steam.
The Shadow Hand couldn't reach directly into the auditorium, so he changed his target and began to pound the roof and the sealed windows hard, the strength of each hand was not great, but thousands of hands were beaten at the same time, and the roof was soon beaten with dust, and the windows began to break, and many Shadow Hands reached into the auditorium and scratched blindly, although they couldn't go deeper, but they still made the people inside terrified, and let out an irrepressible cry of horror.
However, just when the form was at its most critical, a burst of exclamation suddenly sounded in the chaotic crowd, and it fell silent for a moment. The exclamations and silence grew wider, and after a while, no one made a sound from the entire auditorium.
Including the Algan who advanced at the end.
In front of them, the tall but emaciated marginal traveler Babu, holding the thin and weak blonde girl Anna in one hand, and the tall and slender Monica in the other, the three of them walked out of the darkness side by side, ignoring the others, and walked straight to the door of the auditorium.
The people on the road stepped back one after another, making way for the three of them, and the three of them walked to Argan's side without hindrance, and then stopped.
"Now that we have received your request, we will not ignore it, but at least we must see your determination." Babu put his hands behind his back and said in a condescending attitude, "We have seen your efforts and are very satisfied, so we will leave the rest to us." ”
As he spoke, he pushed Anna beside him, and the little girl looked up, showing a bright smile, then sniffed out to make her way and slowly walked out of the door of the auditorium.
The next moment, a huge mountain of meat suddenly appeared out of thin air, enveloping the auditorium in it.
Roshan's body enveloped the bottom of the auditorium, and only the towering spires and towers were exposed, and around these spires and towers, a dozen thick tentacles with huge suction cups were entangled, pointing to the sky along with the tower spires, pointing to the reflection of the giant silt overhead.
The moment Roshan appeared, the image of the silt in the air was taken aback, it was already about to be suppressed to the ground, but at this time, it suddenly rose a few meters higher, and most of the shadow hands that hit the auditorium retracted, leaving only a few, waving towards Roshan with teeth and claws.
Such a strange change, even if some people were already mentally prepared, still caused bursts of exclamations, and many people fell to their knees in fright, looking at Roshan who wrapped the auditorium in a daze.
However, the exclamations soon stopped, because everyone found that with the appearance of Roshan, not only was the precarious auditorium no longer attacked, but the ubiquitous pressure also disappeared, and if it weren't for the fact that there was still a layer of Roshan wrapped outside, it was as if everything had returned to normal.
Could it be that what this man said is true? Could it be that this monster-like little girl is really protecting us? Are they really not horror monsters, but, as they describe, saviors?
For a moment, no one spoke, not even Linda and Algon, and everyone looked at Monica and Babu in human form with complicated expressions, not knowing whether to show fear or gratitude.
"As I said, we're here to help you." Babu turned back to face everyone, raised a finger and winked at everyone with a confident smile on his face, "We are honest and trustworthy businessmen, and we never lie." ”
As he spoke, Babu took a few steps backwards, leaning his back against Roshan behind him, and the surface of Roshan churned, enveloping him little by little, and before being completely wrapped, Babu's fingers brushed the corners of his forehead, made a farewell gesture, and then disappeared into Roshan.
Roshan squirmed a few times, and soon regained his calm, while the large group of protected townspeople inside looked at each other, really didn't know what expression or attitude to use to face it, some people turned their eyes to Monica, the only remaining normal person, but Monica just spread her hands, didn't say anything, and kept staring at Roshan in a worried daze.
Swallowed by Anna again, Babu found himself becoming more and more proficient, and even had an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Quickly putting aside the messy thoughts, Babu skillfully squeezed inward, and the dense pieces of meat in front of him seemed to be greeting, rubbing against Babu's body while giving way to the position in front of him, so that he could go deeper more easily, all the way to the most core energy source.
Stretching out his hand, before he touched it, the energy source had already taken the initiative to bounce into Babu's palm, and rubbed it a few times in his palm, rubbing his hand with mucus. Babu rubbed the piece of meat helplessly, and then he grasped the source of scorching energy, and the familiar attachment and joy came from the palm of his hand, and at the same time, there was still horror and timidity that could not be hidden.
"Don't be afraid, I'll come, help you, together, drive away, it."
Holding the energy source in one hand, Babu wrote on the surrounding pieces of flesh with the other. Doubts came from the energy source, and Anna tilted her little head and looked confused as if she appeared in front of Babu, as if she was wondering how Babu, a human, could help her.
"Believe me?"
Bang bang, the surrounding pieces of flesh hit Babu hard, just like the usual touch of being hit by the forehead of a small thing.
"Everything, listen to me, order, everything, leave it to me, dare?"
However, Anna's reaction was beyond Babu's expectations, Babu only felt the energy source in his palm beat, and the flesh around him suddenly intensified the squeezing force, and then, his perspective changed, as if he jumped out of Roshan's body, and was watching Roshan's every move from a bird's-eye perspective. Not only that, but he could clearly feel that Anna's consciousness was nestled in his consciousness, and he could even directly affect Roshan's actions without passing Anna's consciousness, which was equivalent to the two of them controlling their bodies together.
"You've done it too thoroughly, right?" Babu didn't write, but thought silently in his heart, and an invisible smile appeared in his consciousness, "Then let's get rid of it together, don't be afraid, my Anna." ”
As a result, Roshan was in a shock.
Inside the auditorium, there was a sudden uproar in the crowd.
Perhaps because of the action of those tentacles, a large number of wooden planks that sealed the windows were shattered, especially those relatively tall windows, and the people inside finally saw what was happening outside after throwing through the cracked windows and the cracks of the tentacles.
Roshan was wriggling, and the dozen or so tentacles at the top were entangled, slowly merging with each other and changing their shapes, gradually turning into a humanoid form composed of tentacles, with long tentacles covered with suckers on their hands and feet, dancing flexibly in the air. Its head, on the other hand, was a slightly shorter tentacle that cracked open at the base to reveal a mouth-like cleft and let out a deafening roar at the sky.
"Roar."
The strange change and sudden roar caused the mud in the air to retreat again, but this time it was not just retreating, thousands of shadow hands reached out from the surface of the silt, and began to scratch and tear wildly at Roshan's body. The shadow hands seem to be nothing, but in fact, each one has a terrifying power, and it was these ghost hands that captured countless townspeople, dead or alive, and then grabbed Anna's Roshan.
The surface of Roshan was also a wriggling, and then tens of thousands of tentacles stretched out from Roshan, and they rushed towards the ghost hand that was caught, whether it was a virtual body or an entity, the tentacles and ghost hands continued to fight in the air, and the thunderous loud sound was endless, and the destructive energy flowed in all directions, making the world a doomsday scene.
"Roar."
The tentacles formed a shrill roar again, but this time, the mud did not show weakness and roared back as well.
Not with a voice, but with a will.
There was little logic, let alone language, from which only a voracious possessiveness could be felt, like the threatening roar of a wild beast at other predators as it fought for food.
", my!" At the same time as the human language came out of the 'mouth', the will of the same threat also crashed back, not only the will, but more tentacles in Roshan's body suddenly erupted, and they were fiercely pumped on the phantom of the mud at the same time.
It was obviously just a phantom, but after being whipped by Roshan, the mud still shook slightly, but it was obviously not harmed. Seeing that the threat was ineffective, and the mud was no longer tempting, the will came from the body guarding the edge, and I don't know that tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of impacts from the will slammed down on Roshan.
