122. Digestion
On the screen, the man was surrounded by monsters, and his face was full of surprise and wanted to say something to his long-lost companion, but he quickly froze.
When he saw this scene, Bai Buzhi was not surprised.
After that close encounter, no one was more sure than he was whether the monsters were disguised or not.
Cross-dressing should also pay attention to the basic law...... It's okay for people to make up as ghosts, but is there only a little bit of arm diameter left after someone puts on makeup?
Did he just cut the flesh on his body in order to change his clothes? Isn't there a prince waiting to marry you, so you need to fight so hard?
The man believed in his code.
And the code is lying.
Therefore, at this moment, the expressions of the men who were in close contact with those monsters became very ugly, just like the previous Bai Buzhi.
Bai Buzhi was surprised not by this.
Those monsters were clearly not human, but they were eagerly squeezing around the man at the moment.
But it's not like Bai doesn't know how to divide and eat it...... Some of them tugged at the man's sleeve, some stretched out their rotten arms to block the man's path, but none of them bit him or hit him.
From the surveillance footage, only the monster can be seen silently surrounding the man.
In the distorted colors, the whole picture is as strange as a nightmare.
"Not true. They seem to be trying to say something. Bai Buzhi muttered.
It's not easy to know for sure, as the surveillance footage is muted, and the monsters don't have lips left, and many of them don't even have teeth or tongues.
The monster that had previously come to the monitoring room had also made a whimpering sound in the hallway, completely unrecognizable.
Obviously, it is impossible for a middle-aged man to understand now, and he pushes the monster around him in fear and anxiety.
Presumably, the monsters also realized that he was not cooperative, and their attitude gradually changed.
The monster on the middle-aged man's left pushed the man's shoulder. The strength is not small, the man was pushed to a stumbling position, his lips moved, and the lip shape was a dirty word.
It was as if the words ignited an invisible cannonball, and more monsters began to push him. The fist stretched out from all sides, quickly knocking the man to the ground.
Bai Buzhi frowned.
The scene in front of me was like a fight between drunk people at a supper stall.
The man could recognize the monsters, presumably they were indeed human. Judging from the angry beating after hearing the swear words, they are probably still a little conscious.
If you don't get provoked, they don't seem to be aggressive.
So, what is the message that the undecipherable voice wants to convey?
Bai didn't know how to scratch his head, thinking that a living person can't be suffocated by urine. If you can't say it, you can't say it, can't you write?
As soon as the idea came to him, he immediately slipped a pen into his trouser pocket, determined to try to communicate the next time he couldn't avoid encountering monsters.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that when he turned his gaze back to the screen, he noticed something strange.
In the place where the group was originally fighting, there was something black on the floor on the surveillance screen.
It is irregular in size and should be a viscous liquid.
At first, I didn't know that the man was beaten and vomited blood, or that the humanoid monster had some bad body fluids flowing down...... But no, because its location is clearly outside the encirclement of the crowd.
He soon realized that he had been wrong, as the black liquid was growing larger.
Or to put it another way, "expansion."
It's like a colony multiplying on a petri dish.
But it's too low, on the floor. So much so that except for the white people outside the picture, no one at the scene noticed it.
The black color quickly spread to the size of a person.
And the liquid, which I don't know what it was, rose up without warning and gathered into a human form.
It's a bit reluctant to say it's humanoid, more like a balloon with a thick human shape or an evil god figure. It's just that it must be a "person", because there are still clothes on his body, tattered and full of stains, as if he has been dragged for more than ten miles.
When the "man" rose from the black liquid, the figures gathered in place finally noticed this, and they fled one after another.
The man who had been knocked down sat on the ground, his hands and feet back, his eyes wide as if they were about to fall out of their sockets. Judging by his expression and wriggling lips, it was clear that he was begging frantically for mercy.
But it didn't work.
The "man" walked towards him. Obviously, they were far away at first, but for some reason they quickly arrived next to him. Immediately after, just when Bai Buzhi thought that the thing might be about to eat the man, the black liquid on the ground moved again.
Just as the "man" was wrapped in the first place, the black liquid rose up from the man's feet and enveloped the man.
Bai Buzhi's eyes widened.
The middle-aged man opened his mouth wide.
It must have hurt terribly, for Shiro didn't hear the screams coming from the other side of the hallway.
He tried to struggle, reaching out to pat the black liquid that bound his legs, but to no avail, and soon his hands were glued to the touch. The man quickly lost his mobility and was encased in a gelcoat-like black liquid.
It was a bottomless swamp that trapped him alone. The liquid ran up his lower limbs, enveloping him entirety in less than a minute. Can you imagine how desperate the middle-aged man trapped inside would be, whether the liquid is corrosive or not, I don't know, but can I still breathe when my mouth and nose are covered?
Unconsciously, Bai Buzhi has held his breath. A sense of suffocation came from the other side of the frame, but things weren't as bad as he thought...... At least it seems.
Because the fluid begins to fall from the epidermis of the middle-aged person.
But after it fell, the "gourd" inside that was revealed was no longer the complete human being half a minute ago.
Bai Buyi's pupils, which were staring at the picture closely, dilated instantly.
The middle-aged man now looks like he has fallen into a pool of hot acid and been fished back up.
His hair had thinned, and his exposed muscles and skin had peeled off. Probably because it didn't take long, he didn't lose his entire mouth, as his friends did, but still had some of his upper teeth.
He just stood there.
In just one minute, he went from a human who Bai didn't know and talked to to to a scorched monster who chased Bai Bu.
And that's not the end of it. Because Bai Buzhi saw the black in his mouth, the liquid had obviously entered his seven orifices, and there was no longer any need to attack from the surface.
The middle-aged man soon became unable to stand, and more black liquid flowed out of his mouth, the corners of his eyes, his nostrils, and his ears, which did not conform to any physical laws. The first thing that fell was the eyeball, then the lips, then the earlobe, and then the end of the finger started to leak that fluid, and so the finger also fell off.
The unknown black liquid continued to wash over his body like a flood that burst the levees, bringing out countless fragments of broken tissue.
In less than three minutes, the middle-aged man completely disintegrated into fragments of human tissue in a pixelated manner and was engulfed in black liquid.
Bai Buzhi witnessed all this silently, and his back was so cold that it seemed like he had been put into a large cloud of ice.
But at this moment, the "person" in the picture turned around.
It dragged its eyeballs outside the socket and turned towards the angle of the camera.
