Looking at the insects coming in droves, Locke's trypophobia almost broke out.
He immediately closed the window, put on his coat before the cockroaches and mosquitoes surrounded him, wrapped his head in a scarf, and rushed out of the apartment, holding the witch girl who had turned into a black cat in his arms.
Irene looked at him suspiciously, not expecting that at the critical moment, he would know that running for his life would not be a waste of time for his master and servant.
Wait, why didn't he call Hannah?
Erin's eyes gradually narrowed.
As Locke left Old Tom's apartment at a sprint speed of 100 meters, the cockroaches, ants and spiders in the apartment also rushed out after him, forming a python-like insect tide.
Locke did not dare to look back and ran forward to escape for his life.
At this time, the air troops bees, butterflies, moths and mosquitoes and flies have gathered, forming a black net to surround Locke.
To be honest, Locke was really panicking, which was why he escaped from the apartment, fearing that he would implicate Hannah.
Since they wanted to avenge the mosquitoes that he pinched to death, and believed that the target was only him, if he stayed in the apartment, it would implicate Hannah.
As for why he was holding on to Miss Irene, the black cat, it was entirely because it was his life-saving talisman.
If the initiator of the abnormal situation does not come out, at the critical moment, the only way to save his life is to seduce the witch lady with endless delicious food.
The life-saving charm cannot be thrown away at any time.
Seeing that the black net in the sky and the insect tide on the ground were about to merge and completely surround Locke, the bees were ready to use the spikes on their butts to kill them all. The mosquitoes also showed their sharp mouths. Although the flies and butterflies He has little fighting ability, but he plans to use his body to launch a suicide attack on Locke.
The most important attack force is probably the cockroaches, spiders and ants on the ground, which have shown their mouthparts.
Locke speeded up and rushed into the vast night.
Fortunately, he has never stopped exercising since he traveled to this world. His leg muscles are well developed, and his potential for bursting out at critical moments is amazing. If he had been a sickly and delicate boy, he would have been swallowed up by the insect tide.
The buzzing in my ears quickly approached, and the insects in the streets and alleys rushed out, as if they were having a grand party or participating in a marathon.
Passers-by screamed in the streets.
"ah--"
"What the hell! What is this?"
"Goddess help me."
"Damn, damn, it's all cockroaches!"
Locke rushed towards the crowded square, waving his hands from time to time to disrupt the encirclement of the sky. He also crushed countless ants and cockroaches to death under his feet, but some still crawled onto his legs.
The homeless people living on the streets and the workers returning home at night were panicked by the insect tide.
Before complete chaos erupts in Pate's neighborhood, two investigators show up.
Angela frowned and whistled, and the cockroaches, ants, and spiders on the street, and the bees, mosquitoes, and butterflies in the sky dispersed like a tide.
Di Mo clasped his hands on his chest with a serious look on his face.
"Angela, you are too impatient."
"I just wanted to test whether he was involved in the weird field, but I didn't expect that he was really an ordinary person."
Angela pouted.
Looking at the dispersing insect swarm, Locke's legs and feet suddenly went limp. He sat down on the bluestone tiles on the ground, pulled off his scarf, and gasped for air.
It was as if all the accumulated strength in his body had exploded at that moment, and now there was only the feeling of exhaustion from his body.
His forehead was covered with sweat, and his face was swollen with four or five bee sting marks.
If the scarf hadn't protected him from the attacks of many bees, his head would have turned into a hornet's nest by now.
Compared to the embarrassed Locke, the black cat was intact and seemed to be protected by him in his arms. In fact, he had just raised Irene to block several attacks for himself.
"Finally saved."
Locke's chest heaved, breathing in the fresh air around him.
The sparse sounds in my ears are fading.
Locke knew that people from the Bizarre Investigation Bureau were nearby. He closed his eyes and carefully recalled the voice of the female investigator named Angela.
Finally, among the whines and complaints of homeless people and passers-by, Locke heard that familiar voice.
"Di Mo, if he is an ordinary person, there is no need to continue tracking him. We have to investigate the whereabouts of C19 as soon as possible."
Angela is communicating with her companions.
"You think he's just an ordinary person?"
A man named Di Mo asked.
"He has no power to fight back under the insect tide, he only knows how to run around. What is this other than an ordinary person? Maybe the necklace stained with traces of the witch was really just picked up, and he can just go to the church to be purified by himself. ”
Angela's voice sounded again.
"He had already rushed out of the apartment and headed towards the densely populated square before the insect wave formed. This proves that he may have realized that we were monitoring him and also understood the special abilities of the weird thing in your hand.
He didn't want to injure the people in the apartment, and he didn't want to make his place a mess, but he wanted to cause a commotion and make it so big that we would have to stop it.
This calmness, composure and resourcefulness are not what an ordinary teenager should possess. "
Dimo analyzed Locke's behavior.
Locke's brows wrinkled slightly. Damn it, his stress reaction was completely seen through.
"Di Mo, do you suspect that he killed those 20 workers and stole the C19?"
"We don't rule out this possibility. Let's go. Stop following him. Go back and apply for C13."
etc? Are you just leaving?
Why don't you come out and compensate me for my losses?
I was stung four or five times by bees.
Also, what the hell is C13?
Why does it sound like the situation is more dangerous?
Locke wiped the sweat from his forehead, got up from the ground, patted the dust on his coat, and several dead cockroaches fell to the ground.
Irene jumped on top of Locke's head, and used cat claws to claw out the bee corpses hidden in the messy hair, cleaning them out one by one with beautiful parabolas.
Inexplicably, Locke was reminded of the scene of a female monkey helping her baby monkey catch lice.
"They have changed their tactics and will not continue to follow you."
Erin said.
Well, I know, but they're going to use something bigger against me.
Locke added inwardly.
Erin raised her furry paws, "But, they plan to enter your dream to find the truth about this matter."
Dream? Entering dreams to find out the truth?
So C13 is a weird thing about dream abilities?
Although Locke wanted to ask Erin directly what C13 was, this would reveal that he had the same keen hearing as hers.
So I can only guess based on her description and imagination.
If this is the case, there is a high probability that his identity as a time traveler will be exposed!
