Rosetta looked at the monster in front of her calmly. After being kicked hard in the abdomen, she immediately bent over and made a sound similar to howling.
Anyone who has had some experience in fighting should know this.
The soft and unprotected abdomen is the most vulnerable area to injury.
Although the rupture of organs is often not fatal immediately, the severe pain that cannot be restrained by willpower will greatly weaken the combat effectiveness.
In this blow, Rosetta used all her strength, as can be seen from the blood stains that could not be restrained from spitting out from the corner of the opponent's mouth.
but……
Seeing how he seemed to recover quickly, a trace of surprise flashed through Rosetta's eyes, making him extremely vigilant.
Although I want to find out who is behind this guy who wants to kill me.
But seeing the other party's rapid recovery, he had no chance of taking any chances.
Rosetta had previously observed the surrounding environment. There was no surveillance equipment in this area, and there were almost no passers-by.
In other words.
——It should be difficult for anyone to find someone killing people and mutilating corpses in this place.
When an evil thought arises, the sky and the earth widen in an instant, especially when this person is not a 'human' yet, but a monster who wants to kill himself first.
Perhaps this is because Rosetta lacks some extra empathy and some awe that normal people should have.
So when "Reservoir Dog" bent down in pain because of his carelessness, he picked up the black umbrella of good quality and stabbed the tip of the umbrella without hesitation.
but.
At the same time, the attacker's face became similar to that of a canine, ferocious and not human-like, raised its face, and at the same time it came into Rosetta's sight.
It was as if the tendency to further transform into some kind of monster appeared in this guy.
The previous blow to the body recovered instantly at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, the opponent's entire face was further stretched forward, and the gaping mouth like a demon extended to the base of the ear, which was filled with fine
The fangs, and its overall posture, also changed from walking on two legs to lying on all fours.
Seeing the abnormal scene, Rosetta had no intention of giving the opponent a complete change. As early as the 'intuition' in her mind gave a crazy warning, the tip of the black umbrella in her hand stabbed the opponent harder and faster.
, to instantly destroy the opponent's ability to act.
Swish.
Rolling on the ground, the monster on all fours avoided Rosetta's attack at an astonishing speed. With a fishy wind hitting its face, it only took a moment before it strangely struck in front of it.
Although his vision was blurry, Rosetta's surprisingly keen intuition was still effective. The moment he felt the crisis coming, he moved quietly, and missed the fatal attack. He turned around and gave a fierce elbow.
It hit the opponent on the back!
"Roar"!
There was no injury, just pain. The roar was forced out from the throat of the four-legged beast, making it look even more ferocious and dangerous, and more black fur grew crazily from its body.
Along with the ferocious momentum, it attacked again, with faster speed and stronger murderous intent. The big mouth cracked to the base of the ears opened, revealing a mouth of fine fangs, and the target seemed to be Rosetta's neck!
Different from human fighting skills derived from changes in limbs, using one's own sharp claws and teeth to fight with prey is a fighting method burned into the blood instinct of beasts!
Just using your eyes to see and your ears to hear, when facing this monster that further shows its inhuman side and looks like a wolf and a dog, the fear that arises from the body can make people have legs.
The illusion of being poured into cement and losing the ability to resist.
But Rosetta is different.
It was as if the seed named ‘abnormality’ had already taken root and sprouted under his skin.
At this moment, the closer he was to the situation of death, the farther away the joy, fear, and panic that were on the surface of his consciousness were, leaving only the abnormal essence after being stripped away.
An iron-gray dim light quietly emerged from the bottom of his eyes.
His 'premonition' became clearer than ever before, and the accumulation of overeating earlier turned into a kind of burning breath, pouring into the bone marrow and burning the blood, allowing his neurological reactions to gradually catch up with the speed of the monster.
'This feeling……'
Huh, Rosetta breathed out a hot breath unconsciously, and almost without thinking, she dwarfed her body. Her whole body seemed to disappear in an instant. While escaping from the attack, she instinctively chose the best fighting strategy and entered the opponent's sight.
into the blind spot, and then strangled the opponent's neck from behind.
Under the enhanced neural reaction speed, he was thinking quickly at the same time.
That's right, even monsters whose physical abilities far exceed those of ordinary people definitely have weaknesses.
Rosetta witnessed the entire change process of the opponent's body with her own eyes, and knew that the opponent himself was transformed from a 'human'. From here, relying on logic to deduce, it is impossible for the opponent's body structure to change so quickly in such a short period of time.
into another species.
Brain, heart, spine.
These three basic parts are weaknesses for most creatures. If any one of them is severely hit, it will temporarily lose its combat ability, and it may even be fatal.
And at this moment.
Knowing that even if she also experienced abnormal changes, she would not be able to catch up with the opponent so quickly in terms of physical fitness, Rosetta could only choose to seize this opportunity to bet that the opponent still needs to breathe and still has all the abilities of a human being.
Some weaknesses.
"Hiss...hiss...hiss..."
The neck was locked by the arms coming from behind, and the wolf-like monster let out a labored breathing sound.
——Fortunately, at least this time, he seemed to be right.
In the blink of an eye, Rosetta was in the lock using some of the joint techniques she had seen before.
This monster transformed from a human burst out with an astonishing desire to resist, struggling hard, but at the same time, Rosetta also used her best strength to lock the opponent's neck with her arms, twisting and tightening inch by inch.
, even if the opponent's bones are about to make a creaking sound, there is no mercy or intention to let go!
This process lasted about a minute and a half.
During this period, the opponent's resistance and struggle left Rosetta's arm with bruises that rolled the muscles and showed deep bones. However, until the opponent completely lost his life, he still did not make a sound, as if there was no pain.
Is this also some kind of 'abnormal' effect on myself?
Rosetta didn't know, he just subconsciously let go of the completely lifeless body in his arms.
Looking at the monster's animalistic features gradually fading away after its death, and the corpse regaining its human form, a deep chill emerged in his heart.
This was not because he felt regretful and guilty when he realized that he had 'killed someone'. Rather, he did not have the slightest emotion that a normal person would have after making a mistake.
It was as if there was a void underneath his skin, no human heart at all.
Rosetta just discovered that even if it was his first time to kill someone, he lacked the ability to empathize with the 'death of the same kind'. Therefore, he just realized that while he was chasing the 'abnormality' of the world, he discovered that he had an abnormal mentality.
It has already appeared in him, just like his nature.
"We must find a way to dispose of the body."
In a daze, Rosetta squeezed out a low voice from her throat and made herself move.
The location where he asked Reiko Arakawa to park the car to drop him off was already remote, and in this era, strict surveillance systems had not yet become widespread. To a certain extent, this greatly facilitated Rosetta's movements.
Perhaps, he also has to be grateful for the often rainy weather in this city of Yichuan.
Because under this heavy rain, most of the traces are often washed away. Since there is no evidence, what he did is naturally not considered a "crime".
Clang.
Soon, in the alley, Rosetta completed the final treatment of the body.
After once again destroying the opponent's brain, heart, spine and other important parts, he was able to determine that it was impossible for the opponent to be resurrected again.
And after solving these problems,
Finally, a question had a chance to emerge in Rosetta's mind.
——Who wants to kill me?
Although there was no evidence, he had a vague feeling that the attack might be related to the tall man he bumped into in the prison earlier.
Now, the facts have been proven.
The 'anomalies' Rosetta was looking for were anything but safe.
Rather, it is precisely because they are extremely dangerous that they can be called 'abnormal'.
But even so, Rosetta found that she still seemed to have no regrets. On the contrary, after experiencing the baptism on the edge of life and death, his empty heart felt a little satisfied.
Like wild dogs greedy for flesh and blood, like madmen worshiping knowledge.
Lacking most emotional fluctuations and almost unable to generate empathy, he is extremely eager to pursue things that are beyond human wisdom and common sense, even life and death can be forgotten.
"Is this me..."
Lowering her head, Rosetta silently glanced at the injuries on her body that needed urgent treatment.
--certainly.
At least I can't die now.
-
About half an hour later, Rosetta finally returned to the rented apartment.
With such an obviously problematic injury, of course he couldn't just go to the hospital for medical treatment.
But fortunately, he also had the habit of preparing a medical kit at home, and he had learned some simple first aid and bandaging techniques from a doctor friend in Dashun.
Although the standard cannot be called excessive, at least for the current situation, it is completely sufficient, and at least it will not make the injury worse.
Rosetta quickly and basically dealt with her injuries.
Maybe it's the blessing among misfortunes.
Most of the injuries left by the ghost thing he temporarily named 'Corpse Dog' were located on his arms, and the most serious ones were not serious enough to damage fatal parts such as the heart. As long as he did not suffer secondary injuries later,
I believe it will recover after a while.
But the only thing that worried Rosetta was that there might be something attached to the other party's alienated claws.
At that time, because I was busy dealing with the body and the murder scene, I did not deal with the scratched parts in time.
After delaying until now, near the wounds on the arms, some purple-black flocs had penetrated into the wounds, causing necrosis of the muscle tissue.
"I have no choice but to see if I can cut out the infected parts myself."
Rosetta had no choice. In the room, he could only stand naked in front of the floor-length mirror, looking at the strange injuries that seemed to be spreading on his body. He gritted his teeth and took out the knife, then put it on the alcohol lamp to cauterize and disinfect it.
But... just before he was about to take action on himself.
It seems that the invasion of foreign objects activates some hidden mechanism in the body.
The abnormal feeling, as if something was taking root and sprouting under her skin, made Rosetta feel like she was back not long ago, when she was close to death. There was also such a power pouring into her body.
Bone marrow, burning nerves.
He didn't have time to think carefully about the hasty changes in the previous battle.
But now, he saw with his own eyes that a white and tender color that was incompatible with the surrounding skin slowly emerged from under the gradually peeling blood scab, and the wound was no longer visible! This chapter has been completed!
