Chapter 54: The Mutated Bieber
Angel was relieved to lure out the hooded assassin hiding behind the flue and kill him.
When she changed the bullet just now, she had this plan in mind with both risk and benefit.
The previous 0.45-inch pistol had only five rounds, and the new 0.38-inch pistol had only five rounds before reloading, and she wanted to try to use this "illusion" to lure the hooded assassin out and attack herself in order to end the fight quickly.
Unexpectedly, the simple assassin was easily deceived, and after he deliberately used up the "five rounds" of bullets, he did not hesitate to rush straight over, trying to attack when he was unarmed.
Then he was shot through the top of his head by the last bullet and became a corpse.
Angel pushed away the hooded assassin who was on top of him, still wide-eyed, dead, and the latter's feeble body collapsed to the side, his young face facing the sky under the hood, his godless eyes reflecting a glimmer of light in the scorching sun, as if he were still alive.
Picking up the other pistol that had been thrown aside and reloading both guns, she headed for the frontal battle. There had been no gunfire for a while, and it seemed that the night watchmen, who were superior in strength and numbers, had ended the battle.
Leaving the area still filled with cold, she made her way to a corner of the rooftop, where the night watchmen had fought the tuxedo clowns below.
At this time, the unattended seal "2-049" was thrown in the center of the clearing, and there was a rapid "knock knock" sound from the iron box, as if to tell the dissatisfaction of being ignored, but the surrounding night watchmen had no time to pay attention to it.
Lorota had retreated from the warehouse wall to the other end of the clearing, and together with Borgia she was aiming her pistol at the main entrance of the warehouse, while Dunn, Crane, and Leonard were on the other side, standing in a triangle with Lorota and the others, 2-049, also raising their guns.
The tuxedo clown is gone.
What's going on? What about the clown?
Angel frowned and looked at the eerie scene below, could it be that guy hid inside the warehouse?
Bang!
With a loud bang, the wooden door of the warehouse seemed to have been blown open by a bomb, cracking into countless pieces and scattering the entire open space in front of it.
During Angel's enhanced visual observation, the wood fragments were also mixed with some human tissue.
It is no longer appropriate to say that the tissue is no longer appropriate, it should be said that it is a human body fragment. Unrecognizable pieces of flesh scattered along with the warehouse door, containing a mixture of red and yellow muscles, fat, dark red internal organs, and white and red bones.
In the slightly more complete part, there is also a half-dock worker's gray uniform hanging from it.
It's the "docker" who disappeared after being injured by Angel after the unsuccessful sneak attack on Dunn just now! It turned out that this guy had snuck into the warehouse, ready to go ahead of the night watchmen and find Riel Bieber's Antigonus family notebook.
But a few minutes before and after, a living person flew out of the warehouse gate as a fragment, and who was it in the warehouse that tore him apart like this?
As if to answer Angel's doubts, a gray-white figure appeared in front of the door of the warehouse.
Under the strong sunlight, the dark vision of the "assassin" could not see the situation inside the warehouse, but the gray-white figure quickly squeezed out of the warehouse door, revealing a body that was more than two meters tall.
He, or rather, he, though barely human, maintained his reluctance on all fours, a viscous, translucent fluid flowing all over his body, ribs broken at the ends, one by one piercing the surface of his body under the skin, and his gray-white skin seemed to have been soaked in water for many days, and was full of wrinkles.
In contrast to the highly swollen body, the only normal head was tilted upwards, and the mouth was open and closed, oozing bloody saliva and musculature mixed in with it.
It seems that the "dockers" torn to shreds are the masterpiece of this monster.
As chewed human tissue falls out of the mouth, an all-ceramic denture stands out from the rest of the mouth full of deformed, fallen teeth.
"That's Riel Bieber, he's out of control!" Leonard shouted as 2-049 suddenly picked up speed.
Hearing his shout, "Riel Bieber" turned mechanically with its head held high, and its cloudy eyes didn't seem to focus, but looked accurately in the direction of everyone.
"Bang, bang!"
Without Dunn's command, several people had already aimed and fired one after another, and the two bullets accurately hit the mutated Bieber's head, which was the only human organ, and the demon hunting bullet easily pierced its skull, leaving two finger-thick holes.
But apart from the outflow of some gray-white liquid, the mutant Bieber was not affected at all. It swung its swollen, curved legs, dragging a trail of viscous secretions toward Leonard and the others.
Leonard and Crane stepped back and fired, a bullet of the Hunt Bullet hitting the mutated Bieber's deformed body, but the bullet of this caliber tickled the monster that was more than two meters tall, and it could not stop it in the slightest except to make it bleed more gray liquid.
The rest of the men also shot from the side, but neither sideways nor in the back, the attack was ineffective.
From above, the monster Bieber seemed to be chasing Leonard and the others, but Angel keenly noticed that the direction it was heading towards was not directly pointing at a few night watchmen, but towards 2-049, the Antigonus puppet in the middle of the field!
"Be careful, it's targeting the seal!" Angel reminded the crowd below, and at the same time, he raised his gun and fired a demon hunting bullet that accurately hit the top of the mutant Bieber's head and pierced through the other side of the neck.
"Lorota, it looks like a necromancy, you need to find the weakness as soon as possible. Leonard, you try to control it! β
Hearing Angel's reminder, Dunn reacted immediately, and he shot the iron box containing the doll, sending it flying several meters away, while quickly giving the order.
Lorota lowered her gun, raised her hand to hold her eyes, and quickly entered the vision of the necromancer, using the ability of the "gravedigger" to find the weakness of Riel Bieber.
Leonard, the "midnight poet," also sang a psalm that he had memorized for a long time:
"Ah, the danger of fear, the crimson hope......"
The mutated Bieber had already come to 2-049, and when he saw that the seal was blown away by Dunn's shot, its incapable brain drove its twisted limbs in a different direction and continued to chase after the iron box. The poet's chant spreads out as the sleep-inducing power spreads, slowing the two-meter-tall monster as if it was about to fall asleep.
A fireball the size of a basin flew out from between the wooden boxes in the corner of the clearing, and flew towards Leonard, who was reciting poetry.
Then the ripples floated there, and the tall and emaciated figure of the tuxedo clown appeared.
"Get out of the way!" Klein exclaimed.
Leonard flickered his eyes and saw that the fireball was aimed at him, so he had to interrupt Midnight Poet's ability and roll out of the fireball's attack range.
Angel condescendingly fired several shots at the tuxedo clown, but the nimble clown dodged the bullet in a strange limb twisting position, and his oil-painted face did not forget to squeeze out a mocking smile at her.
Bang!
The tuxedo clown snapped his fingers, and the flames poured out from all over his body, and when the smoke filled the air, the figure in it had disappeared again.
But after such a delay, the already drowsy Riel Bieber's slowed movements returned to normal, its head tilted, its mouth full of bloody saliva wide open, and let out a silent cry.
Whewβ
Heart-palpitating fluctuations swept across the audience, and the first thing that was Lorota, whose eyes had turned colorless and was looking for the monster's weakness, leaned back and took two steps back, and had automatically withdrawn from her psychic state.
Leonard, who dodged the fireball and was about to continue reciting poetry, leonard leaned back, as if hit by an invisible punch, and fell straight down, with blood flowing out of his nostrils and the corners of his eyes.
The others were a little farther away from Bieber and were less affected, but even Angel, who was far away on the roof, felt a pain in his head, numbness in his limbs, and even his vision became blurred.
A howl struck the night watchmen present, and the mutated Bieber lowered his head again, his cloudy eyes locked on 2-049 in the distance, and walked towards the iron box with staggering steps.
Throughout, its goal was only the seal of the House of Antigonus.
"Control it, I've found a weakness!"
Holding her eyes back into the gravedigger's characteristic state of vision, this time it took only a few seconds for Lorota to shout.
Looking at Leonard, who was struggling to get up, Dunn did not hesitate, directly pressed his eyebrows, closed his eyes, and the invisible fluctuations of the "nightmare" centered on him and radiated to all sides.
Faster than listening to the Midnight Poets sing poetry, the mutated Riel Bieber's twisted limbs stopped moving, his eyes blinded the approaching 2-049, and his head disproportionate to his massive body lowered into a deep sleep.
Lorota threw away her pistol and charged at the standing monster with her bare hands, a sliding shovel rubbing against the sand and gravel on the ground and entering the monster.
With a lightning punch, Rare Bieber's crotch splattered with dark red bodily fluids, spilling Lorota all over her body, and she couldn't dodge it, and pulled her right hand hard again, taking out the object mixed with a section of intestines, kicking both feet and leaving the monster.
She held in her hand an ancient notebook stained with slime and blood, which was exactly the target of the Nightwatchman today, the notes of the Antigonus family.
On the roof of the warehouse, in the water-streaked air, the figure of the tuxedo clown reappeared, grinning and his fingers stretched forward, pointing down to the Lorota who was fleeing from the mutated monster with his notes.
"Bang!"
The gunshot rang out, and the clown's upper body did not move, but his waist twisted as if it had no bones, avoiding a flying bullet.
He looked across from the rooftop of the residential building, where the female night watchman was holding a gun, the muzzle of which was pointed in his direction, emitting a wisp of smoke.
The corners of the clown's mouth widened, he made a strange expression with a smirk, and jumped off the roof of the warehouse, ignoring the threat of the gun.
Angel chased his figure and fired two shots, which seemed to be hit, but did not stop the other party's movements, only to see the clown fall to the ground and roll, the fire came out again, dodging the bullets fired by Borgia on the side, and his body appeared a few meters away with the smoke and dust, only a few feet away from Lorrota who was holding the note!
"Ahh A high scream rang out.
Riel Bieber, whose crotch had been hollowed out, seemed to have just woken up from his sleep, opened his mouth and howled, and then his body glowed with a blinding light, as if it had been completely ignited from the inside.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the twisted monster's body exploded.
