Boundless Darkness 19

That’s… a bat?

Kai Xin froze on the spot.

A bat with eight eyes! And it is much larger than ordinary bats, almost as big as a human head. The biggest bat Kai Xin has ever seen is only the size of a palm.

The eight-eyed bat opened its mouth soundlessly, revealing a pair of gleaming teeth. Kai Xin used the shadow shuttle to dodge back and pull out the kitchen knife from his back.

The bat didn’t chase after it. It made a distorted and piercing cry, like nails scratching glass chalk and rubbing a blackboard. When Kai Xin heard the sound, his whole body went numb, his eardrums buzzed, and he even felt pain.

This thing can actually attack with sound waves!

Kai Xin’s heart sank, and he used the magnetic sword to control the kitchen knife to levitate and fly towards the bat.

Fortunately, the bat seemed to have no other abilities other than being a bit bigger and capable of sonic attacks. Feishe’s kitchen knife easily pierced through the bat’s body and nailed it to the ceiling.

The eight hideous scarlet eyes closed. Kai Xin made a move, and the bloody kitchen knife flew back into her hand, and the bat’s corpse fell down with a clatter, stirring up a small cloud of dust.

Kai Xin turned on the phone’s light, poked the bat twice with a knife, and saw two rows of eyes neatly lined up on its face, a total of eight. In addition, there are many sarcoma-like protrusions on the bat’s head. The light was too dark just now to see it clearly. There is a tiny slit on each sarcoid, as if it is a closed eyelid. She cut out a sarcoma, Use the tip of the knife to pick open the gap, and saw a scarlet eye flexibly turning around in the tumor, like a living thing…

Kai Xin felt a chill, and endured the discomfort to continue observing.

There are bony spurs protruding from the bat’s two membranous wings, which make a loud sound when knocked. The texture is very hard. There are also some bony spurs that have just emerged from the membranous wings, and they seem to be still growing.

In less than a minute, the bat’s body melted, and bright red blood flowed on the ground.

Kai Xin frowned and stood up.

According to various experiments in the second world, animals will die suddenly within three days after being injected with divine blood, and a few primates can live for a week. If this bat is mutated by prescription, then its The survival time is too long… But Fang Zhi’s blood is not divine blood, and the blood water transformed from the corpses of creatures in the second world is not so polluting…

Kai Xin shook off the blood remaining on the kitchen knife, stepped over the blood stains on the ground and walked to the depths of the tobacco factory.

I don’t have tools to deal with the blood at hand, so I can only go back after exploring and clean it up.

Kai Xin was extra vigilant all the way, and would enter the shadow shuttle state when she heard any disturbance. After a few minutes, she felt that this would not be conducive to the investigation, so she deliberately amplified the sound of her footsteps to make some movement, to see if she could get the creatures hidden in the dark. attract.

There was a rustling sound from the corner of the corridor. Five or six creatures with extremely long legs and strange shapes rushed over from the wall, making creaking sounds as they ran.

Kai Xin took a step back, and the kitchen knife in his hand swished among the mutated creatures, cutting off all their limbs in one encounter.

“This is… a mutated mouse?” Kui Xin’s heart became more and more heavy.

Seeing that the corpse of the mutated mouse also turned into blood, Kai Xin raised his head and scanned the surroundings. He hit the metal window frame with the handle of a kitchen knife, and the ear-piercing sound of bang bang bang echoed in the factory.

She stood there and waited for two minutes, but no mutated creature came.

Kai Xin kept vigilant, stopped and walked all the way, knocked on the window frame and stomped her feet from time to time, trying to draw out the creatures hiding in the darkness… But her actions did not work, and the abandoned factory returned to dead silence , quietly, as if there was no living thing.

Kai Xin finally arrived at the place where Fang Zhi was killed.

The red liquid has dried up. When the flashlight shines on it, a layer of dust covers the red color. Around the dried up red liquid, there are scattered dried mouse corpses. Some mouse corpses are incomplete, with rodents gnawing on them. Bite marks.

Some rats came into contact with the blood and were poisoned to death, while another group of rats that came into contact with the blood mutated, ate the corpses of their own kind, and became aggressive towards their own kind and living objects around them ?

This place is so quiet that it makes people feel uneasy.

Except for the howling wind and Kai Xin’s own breathing, there was no sound here.

Kai Xin walked around the entire abandoned factory several times, trying to find a few more mutant creatures, but these creatures didn’t seem to be irrational and only knew how to attack, and Kai Xin couldn’t find them after searching around. They… like Is hiding.

She glanced at the time. It is now 23:56, almost twelve o’clock in the evening.

It looks like tonight will be a sleepless night.

Kai Xin couldn’t sleep peacefully in this situation, she was thinking about what else she could do.

Those mutated animals still have the characteristics of normal creatures. For example, theyThe human body has temperature, and the heart is also beating. If you want to efficiently investigate whether there are mutated creatures in the surrounding area, you need to prepare professional equipment, such as thermal imaging displays and detection radars.

It would be great if it was in the second world. Wearing an eyepiece can solve these problems. In the first world, such equipment is still too bulky and the detection is very inflexible.

Kai Xin walked around the tobacco factory again. It would be futile to stay here any longer. It’s better to go back and sort out the information as soon as possible. She needs to check the players’ movements through the forum and find insiders.

But just as Kai Xin was about to leave, the scene in front of her suddenly shook, the lines of things were distorted, something murmured in the darkness, and it seemed to be the roar of a wild animal.

The gray walls, the dark corridor, and the light and shadow cast by the moonlight on the ground seemed to be melted into the dark palette, blurred and chaotic. In the depths of the darkness, there is a shadow that can’t be seen clearly, and it is about to move, trying to struggle to get out.

The mutation is only in an instant.

Maybe in a second, maybe less than a second, Kai Xin’s vision returned to normal.

She stood there blankly for two seconds, only to feel that the clothes on her back were soaked in cold sweat.

She lowered her head and glanced at her phone. The time showed 00:00.

Zero! The time when the mutation appears is the same as the time when the player travels through the world, which is 0:00.

Kai Xin quickly scanned the surroundings with an ugly expression, not daring to stay any longer, she opened the space vortex and got in.

It wasn’t until she came to the brightly lit city center that her intense heartbeat calmed down a little.

She saw many 24-hour shops open, and there were scattered night returners on the street. The warm air soothed Kaixin’s restless soul, and she couldn’t help but took two steps towards the bright light. Only when she saw the light and human beings did she feel that she had returned to the human world.

Kai Xin went to the convenience store to buy a drink, opened the bottle cap and filled it in one go, then returned home.

She turned on the phone and saw that the forum exploded.

Players both at home and abroad are posting. Regional missions are not only available in the country where Kai Xin is located, but also in other countries. Moreover, the mission descriptions of foreign players also accurately specify which city the mission location is in.

The mutation is global, and the cities with the mutation may be evenly distributed all over the world.

Although Kai Xin felt troublesome when he saw those mutated creatures, their combat effectiveness was so poor that they could be easily dealt with. The trouble was the blood of those creatures. If the blood is still polluting and can induce other creatures to continue to mutate, then the situation is very bad.

However, judging from the time-space distortion that occurred at 0:00, the real situation may be more complicated.

“Dark world descends”, the meaning of these four words is not as simple as the creature being polluted by the residue of the alien blood, but that the darkest world really intersects with the real world where Kai Xin lives.

Like many players, Kai Xin also had doubts in his heart.

——Why Tonglin City?

Is it just because Fang Zhi died there? Are there space-time warps happening in other regions?

Is the distortion of time and space limited to that small factory, or is it present in the entire Tonglin City?

Although the time-space distortion is short, it is obvious enough. If the time-space distortion is based on the city, then others must be able to feel it. Compared with He Kangshi, he must not be asleep at this point.

Kai Xin tentatively sent a message: “Is there anything wrong?”

He Kangshi replied in less than three seconds: “A forum? No, boss.”

He didn’t notice the space-time distortion.

Kui Xin thought about it, and then sent Su Rong a message: “How are you doing, Rong Rong?”

“I’m fine, sister Xin Xin, don’t worry, I will pay attention to safety and reduce the number of times I go out.” Su Rong also replied.

Su Rong also didn’t notice the distortion of time and space…

Kai Xin frowned, searched for keywords on the forum, and found that no player posted relevant content.

Maybe the space-time distortion really only happened in that small factory.

Kui Xin refreshed the post and saw a new post floating up on the homepage of the forum’s first section.

Title: “Science Popularization of Religious Stories Related to Secret Orders in the Second World.”

Kai Xin subconsciously glanced at the nickname of the person who posted the post, and found that the person who posted the post was an acquaintance—the player who contacted Kai Xin and was suspected of working in the Special Affairs Department.

First floor: Religious activities are not allowed in the second world, nor are religious books allowed to be kept privately. I am not a member of a secret order, but I just learned about these stories from some sources, so I am posting a science popularization. I hope everyone can understand this terrible thing. organization understands.

1L (landlord): Before the birth of human beings, there were alien creatures in the world. In the mythological books of the secret order, the alien creatures were not naturally born species in the second world, but appeared in the world out of thin air after the “Seven Days of Blood”.

“Seven Days of Blood” is described in their religious books as “the coming day of the ancient gods”. Before human beings were born and various prehistoric creatures dominated the land and sea, the ancient gods came to that planet. He has unparalleled mighty power, and with His coming, blood-red rain fell from the sky, and the blood rain fell for seven full days.

During these seven days, the blood-red rain dyed the earth and the ocean red, and many species living on that planet became extinct. After seven days, the blood rain stopped, and alien creatures came out of the ground and lived on that planet. superior. In the following hundreds of thousands of years, some alien creatures slept in the depths of the earth and ocean, while someremained active and left folklore all over the world.
