Chapter 2 The out-of-control crystal lantern(1/2)
The lantern stands on the blind path at the entrance of the alley. It is made of simple copper and is covered with a crystal lampshade. When you look closely, you can also see the marks of hand-polishing.
It contains light yellow oil, and the rough wicks are burning quietly, emitting a hazy light.
It's strange to say.
The light of this horse light is as shaped as the essence, not only cannot blend with the light of the street light, but also has a boundary between it and the street light at the edge of the candlelight.
On one side is the incandescent white light of street lights;
On one side is the horse lamp with yellow candles.
It looks like a huge light yellow bubble!
The key is that the bubbles are still expanding and have now covered half of the long street. It is expected that the entire city will be covered in up to four days.
At this time, the place had already been blocked by the official excuse of "the road collapse caused the natural gas pipeline to break."
All the people around were evacuated.
Those who are surrounded outside are only desperately deploying various detection devices and the foundation tactical response members who are backing up.
"What do you call me sir? My name is David. Can you tell me the situation here specifically? I am an old man and understand the rules. I can give me a few advice. After all, I am blocking you, right?"
At about thirty years old, D-class personnel with a beard and unshaven face and an orange uniform, were gunshot and looked at the tactical reaction members who were escorting him with a pleading look.
His words were obviously carefully considered, and the tactical reaction member turned his head.
"ah--"
"Then, what is that?"
At this moment, a rapid scream suddenly attracted David's attention.
——The person who screamed in his twenties was a D-class person who was about to enter the light range.
At this moment, he looked frightened and pointed at the direction of the lantern with his fingers trembling.
In David's glimpse, a black shadow suddenly flashed around the lantern.
Although it was just a trace of light, the churning tentacles and dense eyeballs still madly desecrate human aesthetics and impact the three views of rationality.
The sneaky barking came faintly from the light, making people feel scared and their souls frightened.
David had just made his mental preparations, and when he saw the hateful image that was contrary to human ethics, he suddenly leaked away most of it.
I was so frightened that I took several steps back!
It was not until I felt the muzzle that was pressing against the back of the waist that I could barely stop.
"No, I don't want to go in. You kill me, kill me!"
The D-class personnel who had just screamed, collapsed on the ground in horror and begged for mercy to the tactical responders.
But the tactical reaction members ignored this.
They directly controlled it and pierced a mysterious potion into its neck.
As the potion was pushed into the body, the D-level personnel struggled violently and quickly calmed down.
When a tactical member whispered a few words in his ear and activated the hypnotic meme, he took a tactical dagger in a daze, stabbed himself in his eyes, and then walked into the range of the horse light with a dull expression, facing a bloody hole.
‘Do you erase your vision?’
As an old bird, David looked at this cruel scene and forced himself to calm down. While observing the tester, he thought about the logical considerations and gained a glimmer of hope for himself.
At this time, when the D-class personnel approached the space-time lantern five meters, their originally dull face suddenly showed a look of fear.
The pace slowed down even further.
Under the hypnotic effect, he showed a look of struggle on his face, and finally he walked towards the lantern stubbornly.
But the more he walked, the more fearful his expression became, the more distorted he was. Finally, when he took two steps and approached the three-meter range, he suddenly stood on the spot.
"Geehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Although he lost his eyes, his soul seemed to still see an unbearable abominable scene. His hands scratched his neck desperately, and his vocal cords collapsed, and he could only barely make a giggle and vent his fear.
"Plop!"
With just one breath, he lay on his back, fell into fainting, or died.
Looking down from the air, dozens of corpses lie on their backs around the lantern, forming a charming and gorgeous corpse petal.
"It's your time!"
The sound from his ears made David shudder.
“Put it on!”
With a clang, a metal box opened in front of David, revealing a very delicate mechanical uniform.
When David saw the uniform, he looked three-pointed surprise. Compared with the D-level personnel who had just stabbed his eyes, his situation seemed much better.
"You are very smart. You don't have to call yourself David. I suggest you are a living human in exchange for our sympathy. Your past experience is enough to give us preferential treatment."
"Look at the lantern, what did you find? Within three meters of radius, it is cleaner than a dog lick. Do you know what this means?"
"That means, no one can get there, including monsters, or even bullets."
"This is absolutely repulsive of external protective gear. In theory, it can defend against all blows. As long as you can rush within three meters, knock down the lantern, or cover this piece of cloth on it, you may be able to survive."
The tactical members who escorted David, hooked David's shoulders, pointed to the lantern in the distance, and explained in a low voice.
David listened silently, and countless doubts arose in his heart.
But he didn't dare to ask, because it was useless to ask. Class D personnel are not people, but consumables.
"Also, the monster you see is either a projection of inner fear or attracted by fear. Didn't you see the person just now? He was castrated with fear, so no monster attacked him. This is a powerful sedative. If you see a monster, remember to inject it immediately, it may save your life."
The tactical member said, stuffing David another needleless syringe and patting him on the shoulder.
"Go!"
David grabbed the needleless syringe tightly and nodded with a pale face.
——He has no way out, he will die if he turns around, and there is still a possibility of survival when he moves forward.
After wearing the absolutely external protective gear and barely doing psychological construction, David took a deep breath and walked towards the light yellow aperture of the two battles.
As he stepped into the yellow halo, his vision suddenly blurred, as if he had penetrated into the crystal lampshade.
The streets that were originally clearly visible were like a layer of frosted glass, blurry and abstract.
The ears were even quieter, and there was no longer the noise and shouting of the tactical reaction members running back and forth.
At the same time, David was also surprised to find that in different directions of the lantern, several D-level personnel stepped into the light yellow aperture.
Some of them go backwards;
Some wear night vision devices;
Some carry guns and weapons;
Some of them carry bronze lanterns...
Through various methods and in all directions, slowly approach the horse lantern.
The scene is treacherous, absurd, bizarre, and weird, just like a hundred ghosts walking at night, and ghost soldiers are pursuing the way.
David was no longer surprised by this. He had seen something even more bizarre than this in this damn mysterious institution.
No!
David's thoughts had not yet unfolded, and he suddenly became furious and looked horrified.
He was frightened to see countless tentacles that were enough to fill the upper limit of the soul's threshold, and shot through the darkness at all D-class personnel involved in the containment operation.
"Ah—— Monster——”
"Da da da da!"
The dazzling fire, accompanied by a scream of horror, raised blood mist in the sky.
That is the monster's abuse of all D-level personnel!
“Huff…”
David's eyes were about to break, and he didn't dare to see the tragic situation of the attacked D-class personnel. His gums were shattered and he rushed towards the crystal lantern frantically.
It's approaching!
The crystal lantern in his vision became clearer and clearer, and he could even see the quaint patterns on the bronze skeleton.
He reached out to grab the lantern in a crazy way.
"Buzz--"
At this moment, an indescribable sound sound was like a solid steel nail inserted into his eardrum, stirring his soul wildly and turning out all his fears.
A foul smell floated in the air, like a rotten and fermented corpse that had been penetrated into his nose for thousands of years.
The uncontrollable fear eroded his will!
As the pungent stench became more and more intense and unbearable, his back suddenly felt a warm and wet feeling.
To be continued...
