Chapter 1272: Ability Increase(1/2)
The mummy man did not die. He did not fall to the ground and die as he imagined. Instead, he lowered his head again the moment he lost the inertia of the impact. Then, a scene that Richard could never imagine in his dreams happened:
With the relatively bright light, I saw that the mummy man who had just had his chest broken and his head exploded was not bleeding. Not only was he not bleeding, his wounds were healing quickly. Whether it was the bullet holes in his chest or the holes in his skull, all the wounds caused by bullets were healed.
The speed is visible to the naked eye and it recovers on its own. In just a few seconds, the mummy man returns to his original state, as if the shooting just now was an illusion and did not exist from beginning to end!
"Monster, monster!"
Da da da da da.
Sure enough, after witnessing the terrifying reality that the mummy man was completely unafraid of firearms, Richard was dumbfounded. The other two security guards who had been watching were even more frightened. They shouted "monster" on the spot and ran away.
They crawled and fled downstairs, God, what on earth is that mummy? Why can't they be killed by a gun? It seems that only the legendary devils and monsters have immortality. Since they are monsters, why are they still here?
?Waiting to die?.
As described above, seeing that the mummy man was not afraid of guns and was completely immortal, finally, the frightened security guards completely collapsed. During the collapse, the two security guards were the first to escape, crying for their mothers and fleeing downstairs. Others said this
, Richard is the same. Even though he has experienced war and has extraordinary courage, what he sees in front of him is a supernatural phenomenon that is divorced from physics and even natural laws! Faced with such a scientifically impossible
Explaining the strange scene, the former Marine was frightened. He was completely frightened by the appearance of the mummy man, which was both contrary to physics and equivalent to immortality. He immediately retreated and ran away. Of course, escape was important, but Richard
After all, he is not an ordinary person. After all, he possesses the rationality and calmness unique to soldiers. It is precisely with this rationality and calmness that before escaping, Richard decisively raised his gun and pulled the trigger at the mummy man again!
Bang bang bang bang bang!
As his fingers pulled the trigger crazily, gunshots erupted on the second floor of the castle. A series of metal bullets rushed towards the target like a violent storm. Taking advantage of the short period of time when the mummy had just recovered, they continued to discharge bullets and continued shooting wildly. Knowing full well that the mummy man could not be killed.
If you are dead, shoot again. This will look like
It seems meaningless, but in fact it contains a truth. The reason is very simple, that is, although the mummy man is not afraid of bullets, the impact inertia brought by the bullets can temporarily repel the opponent and temporarily restrain the opponent. In order to prevent the mummy man from following and chasing, no matter what
You must delay as much as possible to buy time for escape!
In the end, Richard succeeded. After emptying the barrel of the gun, the mummy man became a sieve. In addition to being filled with bullet holes all over his body, he was also moved backward by the inertial impact of the bullet again, hanging in the air and falling backwards. Seeing this, Richard
He turned around and ran away, hurriedly fleeing downstairs.
Relying on his calmness in the face of danger, Richard once again used his gun to repel the mummy man. The mummy man was indeed hit by a bullet and moved backwards. He retreated about ten meters. He stopped retreating and stabilized.
The body shape and the bullet wounds that were still all over the body have healed and recovered as before. The only strange thing is...
Although the inertia had been removed and the gunshot wound had healed, the Mummy Man did not pursue or move. He did not search for the executor on the second floor even though he knew there were many humans in the castle. He did not pursue the executor who had just escaped.
Richard and the other security guards remained stagnant like statues. No one knew what the mummy man’s intentions were, but if you look carefully, look closely, and look under the man, then what you see are bugs.
.
Yes, just now, or during the period when the mummy man was inexplicably still, he changed. A gap appeared in his back, and the originally dry and dark back suddenly tore on its own. As the body tore, the next moment, nearly a month later...
Hundreds of black beetles rustled out from the gap in their backs and fell to the ground one after another. After landing, they seemed to receive
With some command, the top tentacles shook, and the black insects began to scatter, lying in all directions in a searching manner. Some crawled to the third floor above, some crawled to the first floor below, and some scattered directly on the second floor.
, within a moment, a hundred tiny black insects went their separate ways and disappeared without a trace, leaving only the mummified man frozen in place.
Time passed by seconds. A minute later, the mummy man moved. He who had been frozen and silent like a statue suddenly turned his head, glanced downstairs, and then...
The mummy man began to sink. Although he clearly had a physical body and had even been hit by a bullet not long ago, his body suddenly became transparent and became transparent. Then he landed on the ground like a massless shadow and then sank, slowly sinking below.
The ground until there is no trace.
……………
"Fake! What's wrong with this damn broken machine?"
At this moment, on the first floor of the castle, in a duty room near the gate, looking at the screen full of snowflakes, Stephen was anxious and cursing.
Since the castle has long been transformed into a museum suitable for visiting, there is no doubt that this is the monitoring room, which is the duty place where major areas of the castle are usually observed. As the only member of the security team with maintenance skills, Stephen naturally became the resident monitoring room.
No matter where the team is on duty, as long as there is surveillance, Richard will always hand over the surveillance work to himself. Stephen is happy to accept this. After all, everyone knows that it is easier to sit in the house than to stay outside on patrol.
only……
This time, there was an exception. Just 20 minutes ago, when Stephen was sitting comfortably on the roof drinking coffee as usual, the originally clear and translucent monitoring screen in front of him was suddenly filled with snowflakes. It was not snowflakes appearing on one screen, but snowflakes on one screen.
All the screens were like this. After checking the external lines and confirming that the lines were normal and not damaged, Stephen quickly took out the walkie-talkie, naturally with the purpose of informing Richard about the matter.
Germany, unexpectedly, there was no signal on the walkie-talkie. No matter how the frequency was adjusted, there was only noise. No, not only the walkie-talkie, but also the mobile phone had zero signal for no reason. Just when he was about to go out, Richard brought Ben with him.
Jim and Thomas who were patrolling the first floor arrived together. Needless to say what happened next, in order to investigate the screams upstairs, after arranging for Stephen to stay behind to repair the machine, Richard led the team and rushed upstairs.
Not to mention whether Richard and the other three have found out the situation, Stephen is really worried now. Although he knows how to repair machines, the problem is that he has checked it countless times. No matter how he checks it, the conclusion he comes to will always be normal.
All monitoring equipment is working normally, which is a good thing in theory, but unfortunately the screen is still filled with a lot of snowflakes!
As the saying goes, the angrier you are, the angrier you are, and the angrier you are, the more impatient you are. Seeing that after practicing for a long time, there was no result, finally, after cursing the classic "Fake", Stephen gave up and walked out of the room with a curse.
Because he had drunk too much coffee before and left the monitoring room, Stephen went straight to the toilet. Even though the toilet was indeed far away, under the intensifying urge to urinate, Stephen, who did not dare to solve it anywhere without any lower limit, naturally chose the toilet first for release. Very soon
Quickly, after passing through two corridors, Stephen came to the nearest toilet in the East District.
As was clearly understood from the beginning, for the convenience of tourists, although the castle is an ancient product, it still has a number of modern facilities built inside, including toilets that everyone must use, and the toilet is indeed the most common double toilet.
space specification, that is, the outside is
Inside the washroom is a urinal, a typical public toilet layout. Of course, no matter what the layout is, Stephen comes to pee after all. He is not bored enough to make a special trip to visit the toilet. When he comes to the toilet, Stephen walks straight in.
Inside, he immediately unzipped his pants and started draining the water.
Wow.
The yellow water like a stream continued to flow under Stephen's opening of the gate. If nothing unexpected happened, this soaking was destined to end in peace and tranquility. Unfortunately, it backfired. During the release process in front of Stephen, an accident happened.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"ah……"
The water had just been filled halfway when suddenly, there was a loud noise, and a series of gunshots penetrated the eardrums! Even though the sound was far away, the sudden gunshots still frightened Stephen so much that he almost collapsed, releasing nearly half of the gunshots.
The stream is even more
It stopped suddenly, and some water droplets splashed on his hands, but even if it splashed on his hands, Stephen couldn't care about it now. He was frightened, and was so frightened by the obvious and frequent gunshots that his legs and feet became weak and froze for a moment.
He stood there stunned in the peeing position.
(Gunshots? How come there are gunshots? Could it be Richard?).
Relying on personal memory, Stephen finally found the answer after being stunned for about a minute. He thought of Richard from the ups and downs of gunfire just now. As the security captain, he knew that Richard could legally hold a gun, but the problem was
Why did the other party shoot? Since he and Richard worked together, many
The security team members, including him, had never seen Richard use a gun in these years. Over time, everyone gradually regarded the police pistol as a decoration, and even Richard himself regarded it as a personal decoration.
, but unexpectedly, shots were fired suddenly, one after another, and the sound sounded like they were on the second floor!
(Is there really something going on upstairs? Or is it those Orientals...)
As expected, as his brain worked one after another, Stephen gradually guessed the so-called answer. He believed that the reason why Richard shot was most likely due to a conflict with the group of Orientals. It seemed that his guess was correct, and the group of Orientals really did
They were not good birds, maybe they were actually a group of thieves disguised as security guards. The purpose of going upstairs must be to steal the collection. They first attacked the patrol members, and then clashed with Richard and others who led the group upstairs. The conflict became more and more intense until
Richard drew his gun and fired!
Oops!
After getting what he thought was a very reasonable logical answer, the next moment Stephen panicked and didn't care to continue peeing. He hurriedly pulled back his pants and looked around, as if he was timid and didn't know where to go. It was not his fault for being timid and panicked, but
The situation was too serious, serious enough for Richard to shoot. Since Richard fired, the group of Orientals must also have guns. Since they have guns, doesn't that mean...
Thinking of this, Stephen became even more frightened. The initial panic gradually evolved into panic. In addition, the signal disappeared and he could not call the police. The thought of support that he had just instinctively thought of was suppressed by fear. He instantly forgot about his security duties.
Not only did he not run out of the toilet and go upstairs to help, but he continued to stay after thinking that the situation was serious, and actually hid in the toilet and could not come out.
only……
Um?
In the toilet, when Stephen was hesitating about whether to go out to support or take the opportunity to escape, he saw the bug.
A black beetle that appeared out of nowhere was currently crawling leisurely. It happened to crawl from the outside of the toilet into the inside, and was discovered and witnessed by Stephen, who had been looking down and thinking...
As far as the eye can see, the beetle is completely black. Although it is only one-third the size of a hand, Stephen does not recognize it. He does not know what kind of insect it is. Of course, it does not matter whether he knows it or not. The problem is that Stephen is disgusted.
He never dreamed that such a disgusting fat insect would exist in a seemingly clean toilet.
"Damn it!"
Because the bug was really unpleasant to the eyes, Stephen cursed and stepped on it decisively, intending to get close to the bug and crush it, but...
Just when he was about to get close to the bug and kill it, he stopped moving and stopped walking instantly. In addition to stopping his movement, his face that was full of disgust just now also changed instantly, and then his eyes widened and he was stunned.
The reason that caused Stephen's expression to change dramatically and almost freeze was...
Head!
That's right, when Stephen was about to walk to the door and crush the bug to death, he saw black. He saw that the brick-covered bathroom floor was suddenly filled with black, and the black kept rising and protruding frequently. Soon, a black, thin and withered human head appeared.
The head looks like this from the absolutely solid ground!
The matter is not over yet, and the mutation is far from over. As the human head protrudes first, then the head continues to rise, and continues to rise. Finally, a man with a shriveled body like a mummy comes into view, and he appears in the toilet.
Appear in front of Stephen!!!
As for Stephen…
To be continued...
