Chapter 42: The Hand of the Drowned

Tick ​​tock…

That was the sound of a drop of water falling to the ground.

According to common sense, even in an empty corridor, the sound of a drop of water falling to the ground should be inaudible.

That's the only sound that can possibly be captured by a recording device.

But when the water droplets flowed out of the "meat", the moment they landed on the ground, there was a standard sound of water drops falling to the ground!

The sound echoed in Xu Cheng's ears as clearly as when he was sitting in a movie theater.

Then, the drop of water merged into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

Xu Cheng's eyes moved down, looking at the ground where water was dripping.

He found that the ground was a little damper than before.

Just a little bit.

But this "little bit" of ground gave Xu Cheng a completely different feeling than before.

It was originally just a dry cement floor tile, but now it seems that it has been soaked in a lot of water for many years.

It's like a piece of ground under an open-air faucet!

Xu Cheng raised his head and found that his agent had no intention of leaving, but continued to look at him expressionlessly.

The wet ground was clearly under her feet, but the agent didn't move.

It seems that as she said before, the original principle turned her body into a non-Newtonian fluid, so she was not afraid of any fatal injuries at all!

Xu Cheng's right foot moved slightly.

Although it is not known what kind of strange creature has descended, as long as the carrier required for the strange creature to descend is destroyed, the strange creature that descends will naturally die.

What is a carrier?

That unknown lump of flesh and raw energy.

Where is the carrier?

Right inside the agent’s body!

In this way, what Xu Cheng needs to do is actually very simple——

He directly snatched the metal box from the agent's body, and then completely smashed the pieces of meat inside!

Then take the original energy block inside.

Xu Cheng's eyes were fixed on the agent, ready to swoop over in the next moment.

But at this moment, there was a sudden noise from the side, and it turned out to be Harris.

The gorilla punched the non-Newtonian fluid, and the extraordinary power that did not belong to him reacted on his own body, and the entire fist shattered into pulp.

He had already fainted from the pain, and only now did he wake up in a daze.

As consciousness gradually returned, the severe pain also poured into his mind, and Harris began to struggle subconsciously.

His body rubbed against the ground, and suddenly he noticed something not quite right.

"Water...water?"

He raised his intact right hand and looked at his palm in surprise, which was stained with a lot of moist dust.

"Where did the water come from?"

Harris was already a little confused, but he vaguely felt that he seemed to be falling into a more dangerous situation!

"This is - ugh!"

Before Harris finished speaking, he suddenly felt as if someone had covered his mouth with his hand from behind.

But now he is clearly lying on his back, with the concrete floor behind him!

Who could be behind him?!

Harris wanted to break free, but then he felt more hands reaching out from behind his back and firmly grabbing his limbs.

Those hands were so strong that Harris couldn't break free!

"Uh-huh!"

Harris' eyes widened, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, and an unspeakable fear spread in his heart.

In his sight, two gray and wet hands stretched out directly from behind his head, covering his eyes!

Harris could not move his whole body, could not speak a word, and even his vision was in darkness.

He didn't know what happened and what hit him!

——But Xu Cheng saw it clearly.

It was indeed a hand that grabbed Harris, but not "whose" hand, just "many hands"!

The wet ground had spread to the ground where Harris was lying.

From the wet ground, dozens of gray and wet "hands" stretched out, grabbing Harris's body everywhere!

Ankles, calves, thighs, waist and abdomen, arms, wrists, mouth, eyes, forehead...

Every part of Harris's body was locked by those hands!

And those hands were still emerging from the wet ground, wrapping Harris's ears and nose.

The fear caused by suffocation made Harris struggle harder, but his strength was far less than those hands.

Those hands gave Xu Cheng a feeling very much like...

Drowning person.

This is a very strange metaphor, but very appropriate.

Anyone with experience knows that one should never rush to rescue a drowning person.

Because when humans are drowning, they will subconsciously struggle to catch all foreign objects floating in the water around them.

If you approach rashly at this time, the rescuer will most likely be caught by the drowning person and dragged into the water together!

By then there will be two drowned people.

At this moment, those hands stretched out from the wet ground were like dozens of drowning people, trying to drag Harris into the water together!

Xu Cheng understood what would happen next.

Because what is behind Harris is not water, but the hard cement floor!

Gradually, Harris's body began to twist and deform, and crisp sounds of broken bones could be heard from everywhere in his body.

Those wet hands stretched out from the wet ground, like a big net, slowly pressing Harris into the ground!

Slowly.

Some of the hard bones were embedded in the ground, while most of the soft tissues turned into a paste.

That is an extremely frightening picture!

When Harris' body completely lost its shape, those wet hands immediately sank into the ground, as if they had never appeared.

Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes.

This scene seemed familiar to him.

Just imagine, if an ordinary person was attacked by those tentacle dolls in the mall, he would probably die in a bloody mess.

Being hanged alive by the twisted tentacle doll was just like being dragged into the ground by wet human hands.

"The practices of the Star Chamber of Commerce are similar."

Xu Cheng roughly understood the style of the Star Chamber of Commerce.

First summon the strange creatures to come, and then let the people with special characteristics cooperate with the strange creatures that come, in order to exert the most powerful combat effectiveness.

This is what a sniper in a shopping mall is like, and the agent in front of him looks very much like him.

As for the dancers on the New Wuming, they seem to be even more special.

Blood splattered from Harris' body and stained the agent's face, but her eyes were still fixed on Xu Cheng.

She understood that facing the old man in front of her, there was absolutely no room for carelessness.

Although she won't die, failing the mission is always bad.

"come here."

The agent issued a simple and straightforward provocation.

"good."

Xu Cheng gave a simple and straightforward answer.

He stepped forward and stepped into the wet ground.

The next moment, dozens of wet hands emerged from the ground, trying to grab Xu Cheng's calf.

Xu Cheng looked at the hands stretched out from the ground and suddenly asked:

"Little girl, do you know what happened in the mall?"

The agent was stunned by this question.

Shopping mall? What mall?

Shopping mall... are you talking about the shopping mall on the outskirts of the city?!

Regarding that shopping mall, the agent only knew that the sniper from the chamber of commerce died there not long ago.

The Star Chamber of Commerce has always acted independently, so no one within the Chamber of Commerce knew what happened specifically. However, afterwards, witnesses blocked the shopping mall in the name of the official, indicating that the sniper was probably killed by witnesses.

Why does this old man suddenly want to talk about this?

But in the next second, the agent felt that his eyes saw the reason.

I saw Xu Chenggao raised his right leg, almost parallel to his upper body, then aimed at one of the arms on the ground and dropped it suddenly!

boom!

That hand was directly broken by Xu Cheng's step, and a big hole was made on the ground!

Xu Cheng looked at the agent, exhaled a breath of hot breath, and said slowly:

"This happened in the mall."

Whoosh!

In an instant, the agent felt a chill coming from behind.

She didn't have time to think about Xu Cheng's words, and immediately made a decision in her heart——

run!

Use the safest way to kill the old man in front of you!

She didn't hesitate, turned around and ran in the direction she and Harris came from!

Xu Cheng was about to give chase when he suddenly realized that something was not right about the surrounding environment.

After a little observation, Xu Cheng discovered the clues.

The damp ground that was originally only a small area spread to a large area at some point!

Floors, walls, ceilings, everywhere!

So what Xu Cheng is going to walk through now is a "wet corridor".

Deep in the corridor, the agent's figure stopped there.

"come here."
