Chapter 133: The Final Choice

In front of the hospital gate.

Chen Qiang gave Xiaoxue a brief hug.

"Look!" Xiaoxue pointed to the hospital building in surprise.

In Gatu at dusk, the sky was overcast, and most of the rooms in the hospital were lit up in advance.

But just now...... All the lights went out completely in an instant.

There was a dead silence.

……

In the movie theater, Su Yingliu and Qin Yixian discussed in a low voice.

"Only by offering a part of one's body to the unspeakable can one avoid death," Qin Yat-sen asked, "Uncle Su, what will you do?" ”

"I'll cut off my little finger," Su Yingliu was expressionless, "I can still bear the price of a little finger." ”

This resolute veteran detective has faced countless desperate situations. He doesn't mind making sacrifices to save his teammates and his own lives.

"Do you also understand the 'part of the body' in this way......" Qin Yixian laughed twice.

Return the Yellow Seal to the Guardian along with a portion of his body—

……

Cecilu grabbed the emerald pendant in her hand.

The darkened hospital corridor was silent. Across the hallways, someone was shouting, "The power is out!" But the sound seemed to come from far away.

It must be as soon as possible - otherwise, Uncle Josha, and even the other sick ...... in danger!

【Cecilu listened to the test 12/26 success】

Even though the sound was barely audible, Cecilu heard it. It was getting closer, and the footsteps of the pursuers were getting closer.

Cecilu held a military flashlight in one hand and a pendant in the other.

"Come on......"

Then she saw it.

A burly man in a shabby gray coat with a pale face that looked like a worm appeared at the end of the hallway. He seemed to be hobbling on his feet, but within a few breaths he was close, and Cecilu could smell a disgusting stench of corpse on him.

In the light of the flashlight, Cecilu saw the other party's face clearly. His emerald eyes were sunk into thick, scaly flesh, and his limbs were twisted like the appendages of an octopus, and his whole person resembled a figure in a distorted caricature.

【SC1/1D8】

[Cecci Lu's sanity test 38/70 was successful, and the current sanity is 69]

[Ceci Lucthulhu Mythos Pass 66/10 Failed]

"Cut."

Whether it was a monster transformed into a "covenant" between humans and the rulers of the old days, or a creature who traveled to Earth from a distant planet, Cecilu didn't know and didn't care.

But just handed over the pendant without resistance, and sure enough, there was still some unwillingness.

[Cecis Lu's pistol shooting verification 15/45 success]

Monsters don't mean to dodge.

The bullet went straight through the monster's body.

I saw that the monster's semi-liquid body stopped for a moment, and then continued to move forward as if nothing happened.

“…… Sure enough, bullets are useless. If it's Xiaoxue, I'll find a way to ambush it with liquid nitrogen or something like that. Forget it, it's not my style to grind and chirp until now. ”

She drew her Gurkha recurve knife.

"Want this?" She shook the jade pendant in her hand.

The monster let out a twisted howl and lunged at Seissy.

[Hasta's Contractor's Arm Flail 78/85 Success]

[Ceci Lu's fighting block check 22/92 success]

The monster waved its tentacle-like arms, only to be cut off with a saber by the quick-eyed Cecilu. The huge force made Cecilu's right hand hurt sharply, but she still barely rolled with her strength and flashed in the other direction. The monster's fluid tentacles whipped against the concrete floor, leaving a shallow dent while the damaged part was repaired quickly and quickly visible to the naked eye.

What a terrifying power, Cecilu thought to herself. Without a more powerful weapon, the human flesh and blood would be like a mantis arm to stop this creature. Even under heavy protection, the illusionary effects that appear from time to time give the monster a chance to take the life of the victim.

If you face this monster alone...... No, if it's your past self, you either have to fight to the death, or you have to hand over one of your arms like the young man in the report.

Thinking so, Saissi really used the recurve knife to gesture on her upper arm.

But it's different now, Sissi thought.

I must protect Uncle Yoxia, as well as Chen Qiang and Xiaoxue.

Just let yourself and risk your life to complete this experiment!

The Russian girl raised the Gurkha knife in her hand high, and instead of pointing at her arm or fingers, she grabbed a strand of her hair and waved it decisively.

A strand of brown hair broke in Cecial's hand. She pulled out another short black hair from her pocket, which belonged to Uncle Josha.

"Ahh That's all. ”

The "Hasta's Contractor" stayed there. It just watched in silence as Cecilu moved.

"Give it back to you," Secy said she threw the two strands of hair and the jade pendant together and to the contractor, "and there is no more." ”

"Seissy!" In the distance, Chen Qiang and Qin Lingxue, who were pushing a cart, were hurrying over.

【SC1/1D8】

[Chen Qiang's sanity test 79/42 failed, 1D8=7]

[Investigator "Chen Qiang" has lost 4 points of his mind in the past due to "Hasta's contractor". The maximum sanity loss caused by "Hasta's Contractor" is 8, and Chen Qiang is partially accustomed to this fear, and will not lose more than 4 sanity points due to "Hasta's Contractor", and the current sanity is 40]

[Chen Qiang's current sanity 38]

[Qin Lingxue's sanity test failed 82/29, 1D8=8]

[Investigator "Qin Lingxue" lost his mind in the past due to "Hasta's contractor" is 1 point.] The maximum loss of sanity caused by "Hasta's Contractor" is 8, Qin Lingxue is partially accustomed to this fear, and will not lose more than 7 sanity points due to "Hasta's Contractor", the current sanity is 22]

[Qin Lingxue's current sanity 22]

"It's the kind of monster that Wei Yuanshan became at that time." Qin Lingxue whispered. She recalled the terrifying memories of "The King in Yellow in the Board Game Club" a few months ago, and couldn't help but get down on one knee and retch.

"You ran away at the time," Chen Qiang said, "but you still figured out a way." Hey, wouldn't I be over-traveling? ”

Could it be that this "Hasta's Contractor" has been monsterized for so long that he can't understand human speech?

"Oh, you just don't understand Chinese." Chen Qiang suddenly realized.

The "Hasta's Contractor" had no intention of continuing the offensive. He held the jade pendant and two strands of hair firmly in his arms, and then silently turned to Chen Qiang and Qin Lingxue.

"It worked!" Cecilu looked excited, "Sure enough, the so-called part of the body does not necessarily contain bones and flesh and blood......!" ”

"God doesn't care, God doesn't mind, God doesn't care," said Mr. Chen, as if he were the high priest of Hasta, "and it is a self-righteous delusion that mortals would think that flesh and blood would be worth more than nails or hair." ”ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz

For the old rulers who are high up, a part of the body is just a part.

"Hasta's Contractor" let out a whispering urging.

"Do we need the results too...... All right. Chen Qiang shrugged.

This "Hasta's contractor" seems to be different from Wei Yuanshan, and he is not a sullen and anxious son.

He took the knife out of his bag, slowly cut off his own hair, tossed it to the monster, and then crouched down in front of Xiaoxue, who was still retching, and removed a strand of her hair.

"Hu ......" got the hair of the last two, and the monster didn't move.
