Epilogue ③
You can hardly imagine what kind of feeling you would have when you see this pile of fleshy bodies stacked together like a mountain of meat.
Especially for Liu Haoyu, who had been exorcising ghosts his whole life.
It felt like seeing Jesus instead of the Buddha on the journey to the West.
Even with Liu Haoyu’s strong heart, he couldn’t help but ask Raven:
“Did I walk into the wrong set?”
“Probably not.”
Raven pressed against the big door, listening to the screams and whispers inside that were comparable to psychological pollution.
That familiar feeling confirmed to him that these were the traces left by “Phantom.”
“What is the origin of this ‘Phantom’…”
Liu Haoyu muttered as he took out the file on “Phantom” again.
This file was given to them by the containment facility, so many highly classified pieces of information on it were completely blacked out.
“Splitting… Imitation… Replication…”
“This monster is more terrifying than you can imagine.”
Raven knew clearly how shocking the scene he saw when he investigated the containment facility years ago was.
“Oh?”
Compared to these sensational abilities, Liu Haoyu was more interested in the photo of this “monster.”
It was a girl with white hair and purple eyes, smiling, with a very cute appearance, even resembling a character who had walked out of an anime.
But for some reason, even though she was wearing a white prisoner uniform, she still gave off an unspeakable sense of oppression like a superior.
And more importantly… why was it a girl?
Liu Haoyu fell into contemplation, and he couldn’t help but ask Raven.
“Is the photo on it of ‘Phantom’ herself?”
“Kind of.”
“Don’t tell me, she’s quite cute.”
“…”
Raven was recalling the terrifying scene he saw at the containment facility. After hearing Liu Haoyu’s comment, he was also a little puzzled.
“Peregrine Falcon, this is a monster, not a human. Even if it disguises itself as a human, it’s a monster without consciousness or thought. I’ve seen too many of these things abroad, don’t let your guard down.”
“But undeniably, she is pretty cute.”
Liu Haoyu stared at the photo with a thoughtful nod.
“Splitting, replicating… Doesn’t that mean this girl will turn into many? Even into individuals with different appearances?”
“I’m not joking, it’s really terrifying!” Raven’s stern expression on his face was almost breaking. “Can you be a little more cautious…”
Raven truly felt helpless about his partner’s strong heart.
“Also, look at that big pile of white fleshy bodies inside the house, does that look like something you can handle? Or rather, can you bring yourself to do it?”
“Uh…”
Upon hearing Raven’s words, Liu Haoyu vaguely imagined the mountain of flesh formed by “Phantom” piled up naked…
“It’s a bit weird, but it’s not entirely unacceptable.”
“…”
This person is hopeless.
Raven covered his forehead, not knowing what to say.
Just as he was about to say something else, Liu Haoyu suddenly covered his mouth.
The whispering sound in the room had stopped at some point, and had been replaced by a sticky sound, like the sound of limbless hands crawling slowly on the floor.
What was even more terrifying was that this sound was getting closer and closer, as if it was crawling towards the two of them.
Liu Haoyu wrapped the Zhenlei Talisman around the grenade and grasped the door handle.
“Prepare to act.”
Raven nodded, and Liu Haoyu held his breath.
The door of the room was quickly opened, and the shadows inside receded.
Light and darkness intertwined, and what appeared before the two of them were those terrifying and chilling faces, one by one, twisted and tangled bodies.
These “bosses,” disguised as unknown things, were dragging each other’s bodies like madmen, rushing towards the doorway.
This terrifying sight had far exceeded the common understanding.
Even at this moment, their brains were trembling, and Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but gasp.
But the moment they opened the door, the grenades and Zhenlei Talismans in their hands were all thrown in.
“Boom boom boom!!”
The explosions inside the house and the thunder and lightning outside mixed together, making their eardrums ache.
When the explosions finally stopped, Liu Haoyu rubbed his ringing ears.
“I have to admit, the scene just now was indeed quite disgusting.”
“Glad you know that…”
Before Raven could finish, Liu Haoyu continued.
“How good would it be if this could be replaced by a large group of naked girls? This pile of male bodies… yuck~”
“That’s what you’re focused on?”
“What else?”
“…”
Raven suddenly felt it was necessary to conduct a mental evaluation of his good partner and check if his brain had been contaminated.
“Shall we open the door and see what’s inside?”
After the sound of the explosion disappeared, the commotion in the room had completely ceased, but no one knew if the monster inside was dead.
Liu Haoyu didn’t know, and Raven didn’t know either.
“There’s nowhere else to go but in.”
Raven held the shotgun in one hand and the grenade in the other, in case of any dangerous situation.
Under Raven’s cover, Liu Haoyu, who was leading, cautiously pushed the door open.
The strong smell of gunpowder mixed with the smell of burnt flesh hit him. He covered his mouth and nose and squinted to look inside.
On the scorched floor, the mountain of flesh had been blown to pieces, with severed limbs scattered everywhere.
And even though they had turned into minced meat, these elbows, thighs, and other parts were still twitching and wriggling incessantly, like fish flopping on shore.
After simply staying in the room for a moment, Raven felt a slight dizziness.
He dared not neglect, and quickly put on a gas mask.
But strangely, even with the gas mask on, he couldn’t block this strange feeling of dizziness.
Raven felt like he was splitting… replicating…
At this moment, a talisman was placed on the back of his head, which drove away this strange feeling.
“Are you okay.”
Liu Haoyu’s voice sounded in Raven’s ear. Hearing the voice, Raven realized that his back was covered in cold sweat.
Just standing there had caused his spirit to be slightly contaminated, let alone directly looking at the monster called “Phantom.”
“Divine Fire Talisman.”
As the flames ignited, the struggling of the severed limbs and minced meat inside the room intensified, and the strange aura also became more concentrated.
The flames covering the minced meat lasted for a full ten minutes, but these things did not turn into ashes. Instead, like ice encountering fire, they began to melt little by little until they completely turned into a pool of clear liquid.
After finishing all this, Liu Haoyu came into the bedroom.
At this moment, he was surprised to find a game helmet placed quietly on the boss’s bed.
The helmet was still running, but the person was nowhere to be seen.
