"Tell me, what's going on here? Why are everyone turning into stone?" Yaroslav asked, his facial expression and tone remaining serious as he stepped onto the edge of the "cannon placement site."
The blood-stained deserter just looked up at Yaroslav's stern expression and instantly screamed from his throat, a harsh bitonal tract that did not belong to him.
Immediately afterwards, the deserter fell to his knees, crawled to the left, hugged his broken table legs, and murmured:
"Monster...a monster with...a snake body..."
"A monster with snake body? Do you think you are telling mythical stories? Even if Medusa, the snake-haired witch in the central mythology, existed, he should have been penetrated by the dragon head with his claws through his heart, and he would never appear in the northern territory of Cruzd." Ross, standing aside, analyzed using the history and mystic knowledge he learned.
But Yaroslav ignored Ross, but his tone eased a little. He continued to ask a question in the gap between the sound of artillery fire around him:
"Tell me clearly, soldiers. If you can describe in detail what you see and hear, I can not report your escape. You should know that according to the Federal Military Law, the escapee will be executed by gunfire, and your family will be implicated and expelled from the major cities of the Federation, wandering in desolate strongholds with shortage of supplies and scorching heat and cold.
"So, I hope, you can use the few courages in your body where it needs it."
"He is not Medusa... not Medusa... I heard His voice... voice..." After answering two or three sentences in a crying voice, the deserter finally calmed down. After twitching a few times, he took a deep breath and was finally able to speak well:
"That monster speaks our language. It's not ancient Cruise German, nor the central, but the same Cruise German as us, a language that has not changed for hundreds of years."
"Continue talking." Yaroslav ordered.
"He does have the body of a snake, about 10 meters high. However, the upper body is a plump human woman, the lower body... the lower body is a snake body covered with black and green scales.
"He has a pair of hands, but it covers the skin of fish, and his back and head are all small snakes with independent consciousness. Some... are thicker than our human thighs, while others are only slightly wider than our fingers."
"What else?" Yaroslav asked.
"And..." The deserter's lips trembled a few times. He swallowed and continued:
"That face has a pair of fish gills on it, and the left and right edges seem to have blue dragon-like wings... It seems to be a fish tail, in short, it looks like a strange piece of human face and several aquatic species.
"By the way, He also held a lyre in his hand, and a bow and arrow that could penetrate everyone's chest. He was introducing himself in our language as I secretly observed Him near the stone."
"Introduce yourself?" Yaroslav looked at the deserter with confusion, as if he had a strong doubt about his narrative.
But the deserter raised his head high, stared at the swaying simple chandelier that emitted dim glory, and said his name:
"Novasnerava, this is His name, and His official name is the 'New Snake Girl'. The banned organization once captured Him and was forced to hand him over to the army of the old empire due to the pressure of Ivan twenty-five."
"Are the order position... a monster?" Yaroslav whispered, as if he had guessed such a result long ago.
"Yes." The deserter did not notice the subtle changes in Yaroslav's attitude and continued to tell:
"The banned organization numbered it 'MB-1918: The New Snake Girl', rumored that His creation was because of Ivanov, a scientist in the Ivan Twenty-two. You should know that it was the most romantic period of the old empire technology, and countless conceptual and fantasy scientific products were constantly turned into reality.
"Ivanov once used extremely clumsy techniques to draw the so-called 'artificial Medusa' in a note she wrote, entitled "Fantasy God Witch", and wrote, 'She may be just a fictional thing used by the Patriarchs of the Central Empire to intimidate pagans, or it may be a great work of art built by the Creator in a time when the demonic power is abundant. In short, if humans want to occupy the position of God, they must do God's actions. Creating monsters is a compulsory course for God."
"So, you mean... what He...what is that 'new snake girl' telling you is that she was created by humans?" Igor's heart was pounding, feeling both nervous and incredible, so he asked directly.
The deserter nodded, expressed his approval of Igor's guess and continued:
"Hasn't the Sunnese people in the south created several human-shaped monsters with strong combat power? Even one of them still controls the poor losers of the "Crash Group".
"But then again, this 'new snake girl' does possess the power of the so-called 'Medusa' in mythology. When his eyes emit a deep red light, all free creatures with independent consciousness will be wrapped in gray energy as long as they look at Him.
"This is a completely irreversible process. Once the human body becomes a stone, it turns from organic matter to inorganic matter, similar to a cooked egg, and it is absolutely impossible to return to its previous appearance. The petrified comrades-in-arms have actually died, and their brains and the consciousness they carry come to an abrupt end when they are exposed to the red light."
"So, where is that monster now? The monster that has hurt so many of us [warriors] can't just escape like this, right? Since He was created, he should be responsible for the fate of destroying something or guarding something." Yaroslav analyzed with his experience as an officer.
"Of course not. You can wear goggles and look outside. He was bombarded just now and is absorbing the energy brought by the 'red storm' and gradually recovering his body. At this moment, He is hiding in the intoxicating world created by the red blood, waiting for you to appear before Him." The deserter said, his lips slightly raised, revealing a very creepy look.
Yaroslav really got up and walked to the window, preparing to look hundreds of meters away to find the traces of the "new snake girl". But when he was still one step away from the window, Yaroslav seemed to have thought of something, suddenly turned around, took out the officer's gun at his waist, turned around quickly, and pressed on the deserter's head:
"You are not a human, who are you?"
"Who am I? Of course, it's Cruzde's [soldier], a soldier who is ready to escape." The deserter replied leisurely, in sharp contrast with Yaroslav's rush and seriousness.
"Human?" Sophia said in a teasing but vigilant tone:
"Humans have human voices, wild beasts have wild beasts, and when one sound comes out of another body, it always makes people feel abnormal, right? Desert.
"Also, you just said that you saw the appearance of the 'New Snake Girl', heard her voice, and learned about her past through her narration. In fact, Huang Huanshi had just ended less than half an hour, and the abnormality at the gap in the 'Wind Wall' had only happened less than 15 minutes. In such a short time, let alone whether this monster can accurately convey so much information, even if you want to remember such a complete message, you have to be a genius, right?"
"What do you want to say?" the deserter's head lowered and asked in an extremely cold and gloomy tone.
"In fact, you are Him, and she is indeed...you," said Sophia.
As soon as she finished speaking, Yaroslav suddenly raised his right hand and pulled the trigger to the center of the deserter's head!
Bang!
The silver bullet used to deal with special and extraordinary things suddenly penetrated the deserter's head, and a bright "Redian Lan" made of blood appeared on his face.
However, the deserter did not die immediately, and a low, hoarse, gloomy, strange and dark voice came from his throat, like a male sob, and even more like a woman's loud voice.
If it weren't for warriors who had been through many battles, they would inevitably collapse and go crazy in the feeling of fear that brought people like the underworld.
The sound of cannons outside the house, the blood-red sky, and the shrill sound of screams made everyone present feel that they were sliding towards a bottomless abyss. When the brief fear subsided temporarily, the deserter's heads finally scattered and turned into a terrifying existence like petals.
when!
Taking advantage of Yaroslav's distraction, a few silver-white needle-like bone spurs suddenly appeared at the center of the petal to his throat. Fortunately, Sophia was quick-eyed and quickly picked up the helmet left by the soldier who had already turned into a stone next to him, and resisted the attack.
"What did he become?" Yaroslav asked pantingly on the wooden table.
"I think he should be a human being, but when the 'New Snake Girl' fired a scarlet light at him, he was forcibly poured into part of his consciousness and became her servant." Igor said in an apology:
"I just remembered that I did read the "Fantasy God Witch" and a related 'Cruzder-22-01-SSR' file. Both books mention this 'new snake girl', and the description in it is basically the same as the deserter's words. However, there is one thing he did not mention."
"What? Say it straight!" Yaroslav ordered.
Chapter completed!
