Chapter 6: Aberrant Creatures

The sudden and violent gunfire really surprised Yang Jia.

No one can shove a gun into a man who has just woken up and let him shoot an innocent homeless man, right?

And what she is going to teach Xiao Huan is to tell him that living in a foreign land, many things cannot be viewed with normal reason, and you must learn to distinguish the other party's disguise, and you must learn to be ruthless.

Any hesitation and fear in the face of these aberrant creatures may harm oneself.

Therefore, after handing over the gun, if Xiao Huan behaves verbosity and asks questions, he may be a little annoyed, but he also takes the opportunity to teach him.

After all, that's what my teacher taught me back then.

But Xiao Huan......

…… He didn't have it at all.

He took the gun, and without even asking a reason for shooting, he pulled the trigger without hesitation, and without stopping for a moment, it looked as if he was going to shoot the bullet in the gun directly.

……

……

"Are you dead?"

Also when Yang Jia was in shock, Xiao Huan was also calmly staring at the homeless man who had exploded a cloud of blood mist on his body, and his nerves were tense.

When he had just taken the gun, in the face of Yang Jia's order, he was actually entangled.

I even wonder if this beautiful girl is crazy and will kill someone if she doesn't agree with her......

However, in the midst of his entanglement, he suddenly felt a heavy beating of his heart, and a sudden strong sense of crisis made him fall into a state of explosive thinking in an instant.

Countless consciousnesses and messages exploded in his brain like a volcanic eruption, overloaded.

"Why did you kill this homeless man?"

"Yang Jia is joking with herself? …… The possibility is almost none, she won't be so bored. ”

"So, is this homeless or not?"

“……”

In the time when he almost stopped, Xiao Huan looked at the homeless man, and had enough time to carefully observe his appearance, movements, and the bedding and wine bottles around him.

His eyes were slightly sunken and bloodshot red.

This also seems normal for a person who is an alcoholic and does not sleep well.

It's just that this homeless man's eyes are redder than others, and because of the light, his eyes are in shadows, and he can only see two dark red pupils faintly flashing in the darkness.

It's a chilling feature that can be overlooked, but when you look closely, it's creepy.

And with this discovery, Xiao Huan immediately noticed the posture of the homeless man again, he looked scared, his body was tightly pressed against the wall, and his hands and feet were trembling.

But if you look closely, you will find that his legs are actually slightly arched, half-supporting his body, and his palms are on the side of his legs, and his five fingers are hooked hard, ready to tear something apart.

This man is slowly adjusting his posture, ready to explode and hurt people at any time.

He's dangerous!

But even after discovering this, Xiao Huan didn't feel that he could shoot this person immediately.

What made him make up his mind was the black slimy thing he had dropped under the homeless man's quilt.

Normally, it would be difficult to detect what it was, but Xiao Huan looked closely and saw the size and shape of the thing, as well as the imperceptible color and texture......

…… It was a man's thumb, half gnawed off!

So, this is not a homeless man, this is a man-eating monster hiding under a broken quilt in the corner of the subway.

And this monster is in an attacking posture, and it may rush into its face at any time.

!!

Yang Jia didn't joke with herself, she really led herself to find a monster and ordered herself to kill it.

So what are you waiting for?

The thought formed instantly, so Xiao Huan immediately hooked the trigger, just wanting to kill this monster completely before it turned disgusting and pounced on his face.

……

……

The violent impact of the bullet made the homeless man's body tremble.

But because Xiao Huan was not familiar with the recoil of firearms, it was a bit exaggerated, and at a distance of two or three meters, he actually missed several pieces, and knocked a few debris holes in the wall next to the homeless man.

And the homeless man suddenly let out a strange cry.

His body was punched out of a few bullet holes, and the surface was suddenly torn, and a slender, blood-red monster came out of it, squeaking and rushing towards Xiao Huan's face.

"What the hell?"

Facing this bright red monster, Xiao Huan only felt a tingling of his scalp, and a strong feeling of nausea rose in his heart, and he almost wanted to gause.

His brain seemed to turn into a paste at this moment, but he was in a state of high tension, and he still relied on his ability to explode his mind to see what was in front of him.

It was a humanoid rat with its skin peeled.

It has knotted musculature, bright red eyes that bulge high and bulging like light bulbs, and even a bright red slender tail made of bone knuckles flicking behind its back.

Black mucus oozed from between the staggered sharp teeth, and the smell of rancid flesh came to my face.

……

……

"Don't turn your back on it......"

Yang Jia, who was standing on the side, reminded in time, to be precise, she had already spoken before the mouse inside tore the human skin.

In the palm of the slender white palm, a black dagger is held upside down.

But she still didn't mean to make a move, as if she wanted to see what kind of response Xiao Huan would make in the face of this sudden change.

This old classmate, now a newcomer, has shown too much to surprise him.

So, when facing the rat-man body that is fighting the trapped beast at close range, can you still maintain calm and accurate judgment as before?

……

……

Also when Yang Jia's reminder sounded, Xiao Huan's eyes widened and he looked at the monster that pounced in front of him.

The other party's deformed joints and bright red skin, and even the slime drawn from the striking, were all seen by him, and he instantly had a judgment on it.

It's terrifying, so powerful that even a bullet can't deprive it of its ability to move without hitting a vital point.

Speed and power are far beyond their own understanding.

At the same time, for some reason, the moment I saw it, I felt a feeling of fear, disgust, and cowardice.

There is a certain instinct in the body that seems to drive oneself to stand still and not move.

It's like when most people encounter something terrifying, their first reaction is not to run away, but to weaken their legs and lose their self-control.

However, Xiao Huan overcame this instinctive consciousness in a very short period of time.

And, in the next moment, made its own response.

He tightened his grip on the gun with the few bullets in his hand, pursed the corners of his mouth, and quickly took a step back, distancing himself from the monster.

Then, he took a step across and hid behind Yang Jia.

……

……

“??”

Yang Jia, who was calmly observing Xiao Huan's reaction and preparing to rescue at any time, instantly became stunned.

This kid uses himself as a shield?

In a stunned mood, the rat-man had already pounced on his side, his sharp fangs biting hard, and he could even smell the rancid smell coming from his nose.

Somewhat helpless, Yang Jia raised her hand gently.

The air was distorted by some invisible force, forming an invisible ripple similar to a door frame, looming, floating on the left side of her body, directly in front of the rat-man pounce.

In the next moment, the rat man, who was as fast as lightning, had already passed through this door frame phantom.

Its movements were still the same as before, but the speed seemed to be half a beat slower, as if some kind of kinetic energy was deprived of the moment it passed through the door frame, but it didn't know it.

Yang Jia held the black dagger upside down, inserted it with his backhand, and nailed it into its head with a "poof", and slammed it to the ground.

She didn't even turn her head the whole time.

just squinted his eyes at Xiao Huan who was hiding behind him, and there was a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.

And facing Yang Jia's inquiring gaze, Xiao Huan paused slightly, and didn't have time to say anything, but stepped forward by mistake, aimed at the monster that was still struggling, and pulled the trigger.

"Phew!"

The monster is not dead yet, so let's make up for it first.

After doing this, he went back again, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with palpitations: "What is this?" How scary is it? ”

"Rat people."

Yang Jia looked at Xiao Huan quietly for a few seconds before slowly speaking:

"A deformed monster that breeds on the edge of a forgotten city, adept at parasiting the human body, and continues to live against the shell and identity of the other."

"It's one of the most common monsters in our city, and it's not very dangerous, but it's very tricky."

"As soon as it is discovered, it must be cleaned up immediately, otherwise in just a few days, it may multiply ten or even twenty times the size of the population, causing a large-scale disaster."

"Possess a means of mental attack that instantly makes people feel the impact of nausea and fear power!"

"After normal people encounter them, they will often turn around and flee due to the sudden nausea and horror impact, and the rat people will take the opportunity to ...... from behind."

"You know, it's the hole...... Drill into the human body. ”

"Then he hollowed out the internal organs and flesh of the other party, parasitized his body, controlled his shell, and accessed his memory, and since then, the surface has not changed, but the essence has become one of the mice."

“……”

Xiao Huan listened, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.

After Yang Jia finished saying this, he paused for a moment before continuing: "I have already explained, so now, is it time for you to explain......

“…… Why are you hiding behind me? ”
