Unlike the previous two times, this time the situation in the room truly caused panic.
Murder by human means cannot scare people with super powers, and various psychological reasons can be found for a person's disappearance. However, Han Xuezhi's mutation is a fact that cannot be ignored. The lady screamed and fainted on the spot, and most of the remaining people stayed away from the door of the room with disgust on their faces. No one wanted to get close to the mycelium-covered room.
Finally, the servants found some shoe covers and gloves, wrapped themselves in raincoats, and then walked into the room. Although Mr. Zhou looked unhappy, he still took the initiative to put on those things and stepped into the room.
Lu Ning could hear the sound of them stepping on the sticky hyphae. These hyphae were still alive. Although the spread had stopped, life still remained. Han Xuezhi in the room was still whispering, repeating about ten sentences with similar meanings.
Mr. Zhou came to Han Xuezhi and raised the knife he had prepared in advance.
"Are you going to kill him?" Professor Xu asked in a deep voice at the door.
"Professor, it is no longer a person, and I don't think it is possible for this situation to be reversed. The only thing he can provide us now is that there may be clues that it has become like this. Now everyone here is in danger. , I don’t think anyone has extra kindness for such a monster." Mr. Zhou said coldly, and probed the tip of the knife towards the bulb formed by mycelium. His movements were gentle and steady, and he moved from the side near the neck. Start right to prevent the bulb from exploding.
Two eyeballs floated up, watching Mr. Zhou's movements, but the body below showed no reaction.
Pfft.
Just like pricking a rotten fish bubble, the liquid inside immediately gushes out from the crack cut by Mr. Zhou. It is a semi-viscous liquid with a putrid and fishy smell, and there is even a faint trace of it. Sweetness mixed in. The bulb shriveled up as the liquid poured out. At the same time, Han Xuezhi's bloated body immediately began to twitch. His hands began to scratch the colonies on his lower body, and a large amount of blue-gray pus began to seep out from the wounds he scratched. . Mr. Zhou quickly cut the knife and continued to cut along the skin of the neck. Finally, he threw away the knife in his hand and began to retreat quickly.
As soon as the servants cleared a path that was barely walkable, everyone immediately exited the room and took off all their belongings inside the room. Feng Yuanxi quickly closed the door, and Jin Xiuqing pressed her palm on the door, sealing it completely.
"what happened?"
"That thing seems to be stimulated!"
People outside were talking a lot, but at this time, the sound of "Puff, Puff, Puff" came clearly from the door. People could only use their imagination to describe the scene in the room. Only Mr. Zhou looked indifferent.
"Mr. Zhou! Did you see anything just now?" Lu Ning said loudly, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"Yes, you have to do some research to take such a big risk to touch that monster, right?" the wealthy businessman said.
"There are almost no human organs and structures in its body. Even the inside of its arms are supported by some dense mycelium. No matter from any angle, it is no longer a person." Mr. Zhou said, "And now it It's probably still struggling to its death. Such a structure may soon be unable to support the brain in the head. I don't know why it became like this."
Everyone had disappointed looks on their faces, and they quickly moved away from the room. Only Michael had a bitter look on his face. He lived next door. If he couldn't change rooms, he would have to endure having such a monster next door. Spent two days in this condition.
"There are three of us." Qi Leyin said worriedly as he left, "Are we all sacrifices chosen by the master? Will we all die in this dance?"
"Don't be so pessimistic, little girl." Meng Juan said with a smile, "We are superpowers. If we really can't stand it, we can leave the mountain if we work together."
After eight o'clock, the communication and network were restored as expected, and Tian Xiao played the most important role. Lu Ning immediately contacted her father. Fortunately, his father listened to her words and had been packing up her things at home since the 27th. She didn't even see the meteor shower this morning because she got up late. Lu Ning once again told her to wait until she came back, asked about the situation, and ended the call.
As expected, discussions about the meteor shower have erupted on the Internet. People have discovered that no meteorites have been picked up, and the scope of the meteor shower is extremely wide. With the convenience of modern communication, mutual verification, it was soon discovered that this is a meteor shower all over the world - this Something is very wrong.
After all, meteorites fall at an angle. I have never heard of micro-meteorites hitting the planet from all directions, only to end up burning up in the atmosphere. Major observatories have not observed similar meteorite groups at all. From any point of view, this meteor shower is an abnormal celestial phenomenon.
Netizens have rich imaginations, and soon some people began to propose doomsday theories, and many people agreed with them. Lu Ning just looked at it for a little bit and then stopped, and called Li Xilou again.
"Lu Ning?" Li Xilou quickly answered the phone.
"Li Xilou, where are you now? How is the situation around you?"
"Huan Yu and I are returning to our residence in the capital. What's going on with the opening of the third stage?"
"I'm not sure. At least I haven't done anything yet. The situation here is a bit strange. Do you have any channels to investigate some superpowers?"
"I don't know the members of the superpower team, so I can't help you. What's wrong?"
Lu Ningyan described what happened here concisely and comprehensively.
"Three incidents, right? There is also a mutated person? No reason?" Li Xilou's voice rose slightly, "This may cause trouble."
"In addition, please pay attention, the world may develop towards the end of the world. I don't know if this talisman is in line with your original intention, but as far as I know so far, there is no way to stop it."
"I understand, Lu Ning, I will help you. At this distance, my ability cannot provide long-term support, but I can take a brief look. Tomorrow is the dance. I wish you a safe return."
"I can."
When Lu Ning hung up the phone and went to the lobby, she saw many people here. Professor Xu, wealthy businessman, Qi Leyin, Michael... These people formed a very false calm here, looking fragile and tormented. And what about herself? Now she doesn't dare to drive the power of Judgment Day to leave here at will. The development of the situation has begun to be confusing. Whether her ability can still guarantee her safety is a question mark.
"When will the dance start?" Qi Leyin suddenly raised his head and asked.
"We only know that it ends at eleven o'clock in the evening on the 31st." Michael lowered his head, "But... when that time ends, can we leave safely?"
"It's not that easy." Professor Xu sighed.
At this time, there was a sudden sound outside, like the sound of something smashing on the ground. But now there is snow in the yard outside, unless it hits the steps. Everyone stood up and walked to the door.
There was indeed a broken object on the steps, about the same size as a lychee, with a light red transparent skin. It had shattered like broken glass, and there was nothing else. Lu Ning got closer and found that the broken parts could almost be put together to look like a spherical shell.
Then she looked up at the snow in the front yard. There were about a dozen such small balls scattered on it. Probably because of the snow, they didn't break like this one.
"Then, what is that? It fell from the sky?" Michael stuttered a little.
Another small ball fell on the snow in the distance, creating a deep pit.
"Catch one and come over and take a look." Professor Xu said.
"No, wait a minute, don't you think it's dangerous? There was a meteor shower in the morning, and then these things fell!" Qi Leyin said anxiously, "What if the things inside were brought here by the meteor shower? What if it was something weird? Where are the things?”
She didn't say it clearly, but Lu Ning knew that she must have been affected by some comments on the Internet.
At this time, a voice came from behind: "In that case, please let me do it."
Everyone turned around and saw Qu Langyue.
"This could be dangerous!" Michael said.
"I can make a copy without direct contact. My copy will not cause harm to me. This will also make it easier for you to observe closely." Qu Langyue said with a smile, then separated a few people, walked to the door, raised his He raised his palm and made a few light strokes with his other hand, and then a red bead exactly like the one outside appeared on his palm. She turned her head and held the beads in front of everyone.
The material of the beads is not glass, but ice. If you look closely, it is not particularly regular. The red color is the light refracted by some extremely fine capillary-like veins on the inner surface of the beads. Lu Ning glanced at the fragments on the ground. The veins had all been broken due to the shock, and the red liquid inside was squeezed out and frozen on the surface.
On the innermost side of the bead, there is a black seed-like thing, only the size of a sesame seed. Of course, the thing copied by Qu Langyue was dead, but the "sesame" in the broken one was gone.
"Qu Langyue, can you recognize what is inside?" Lu Ning asked.
"Sorry, my ability is to copy it exactly...I don't know..."
A scream came from upstairs. The lady who had fainted just now was helped to her room. The sound seemed to come from her. Everyone looked at each other, but Qu Langyue had already run upstairs quickly.
The moment they went upstairs, everyone found several people standing in the corridor, but they were all looking at each other.
The two rooms closest to the corridor, Chun Huiyue and Xia Huiyue, are occupied by the short-haired and long-haired white-collar women respectively. Now, the doors of the two rooms are open, and something as dark as plant roots is coming from He reached out from the room, grabbed the crack in the door, and at the same time stretched out a longer piece of paper, met in the center of the corridor, and intertwined. The lady walked out of Xia Wangyue's room and was blocked by this weird "roadblock", so she screamed. Miss Yan was also stopped there, but she was much calmer and just watched from a distance with her arms folded.
Feng Yuanxi and Tian Xiao were on this side of the stairs. They had already taken saws to try to cut through the black plant, but they obviously encountered considerable difficulties. Professor Xu asked, and Tian Xiao replied: "We plan to saw this unknown plant open, but the material of this thing is as hard as steel and cannot be sawed at all!"
"What's the matter?" Mr. Zhou also came down from upstairs. After seeing the rattan here, he raised his hand and transformed into a sharp blade to try it. Then he shook his head: "This thing is harder than the blade I conjured. It can't cut it." open."
"Then, what should we do..." The lady almost cried.
"Climb over, it's not like there's no room." Mr. Zhou said.
"I can not……"
At this time, Qi Leyin sighed and said to Feng Yuanxi: "Mr. Manager, can you bring me a basin of water?"
"OK."
A basin of water was quickly brought upstairs. Qi Leyin motioned to the lady to take two steps back, then stretched out her hand to tap in the water, and then asked Feng Yuanxi to splash the water on the black plants.
The water was like strong acid. The moment it was poured on it, the plants began to dissolve. Soon it turned into black water and spread all over the floor, and a gap was dissolved.
"After the water evaporates, there will be wood powder on the ground. You can clean it with a vacuum cleaner." Qi Leyin said. The noble lady had already run over from the gap in panic.
"Very good ability." Mr. Zhou said a rare word of praise.
"Thank you. But this branch is actually dead. I can't dissolve life, even if it's just a blade of grass, a flower, and the people living in the rooms on both sides..."
"Excuse me... what's wrong?" Another person came down from upstairs. When everyone looked up, it was a white-collar worker with short hair. When she saw the situation in her room, she suddenly showed a look of horror.
"Are you upstairs?" Mr. Zhou asked.
"Yes... I want to read a book to calm down. I have been upstairs just now... By the way, the flowers in my room seem a little wilted. Before I went upstairs, I asked the gardener to change a pot of flowers for me..."
Everyone's expressions changed again.
After so many things happened, everyone's suspicion of the owner has reached its peak. Some people even doubted whether the owner was really among the guests. But no matter what, the seven servants should be on the master's side. Subconsciously, no one thought that the master would hurt them before the dance started.
"Find a way to get into the room!" Mr. Zhou said sternly.
"Please let me come." After Ye Yunmei said that, she ran to the corridor on the other side. No one chose to live in Dong Wangyue's room, but she could use her own ability to move through the outer wall and open the window.
"Be safe!" Feng Yuanxi shouted loudly.
Ye Yunmei quickly opened the door to the room and went in. She didn't know if she heard Feng Yuanxi's words.
