The bright white moon hangs in the sky, hiding behind a faint veil of clouds, like a hidden goddess, looking calmly at the earth below.
The Poetic Hotel is not high, with only three floors from the outside. The door made of gray-yellow sand is not locked, as if it is waiting for guests to come.
"It's obviously a door made of sand, but the texture of the wood can be revealed in a short time..."
The secret assassination team in a triangular formation cautiously approached the hotel door. Mao Jiarui, the only one in the team with lighting equipment, scanned it with a flashlight and exclaimed in surprise.
"The world today is no longer what it was originally. Many things that you and I thought were reasonable may have become unreasonable, and those phenomena that broke the rules have now become commonplace."
Yin Ji spoke calmly, and moved his hands to hold the licked steel knife in front of him.
In this way, even if there is an unforeseen attack coming out of the darkness, he can respond immediately.
"If the building formed by the sand is consistent with the description in the mission, then the mission target should be located on the third floor underground..."
After recalling the mission information in his mind, Wu Qi repeated in a low voice.
"Didn't the mission information say that that thing is a single body with a life energy level of level one? It's just a single body that can do this?"
Maozi said casually that although he didn't know what kind of difference the level of life energy would bring, judging from the previous incident of Judas devouring a six-eyed parrot, these mutated creatures that were cultured by tissue did not seem to have much difference. Looks awesome.
At least as an enhancer, Mao Jiarui thinks so.
According to his knowledge, the strangeness displayed in front of him was obviously not something that a single body with a life energy level of level one could do.
"The mutated organisms in tissue culture have different traits and abilities. What you and I can see is only a very small part of them. Didn't I just say that, don't use common sense to speculate on these beasts, unless you want to give yourself up?" life."
Yin Ji spoke up again and warned Mao Jiarui.
"Logically speaking, these mutated creatures are obviously tissue-cultured things, but they give me the feeling that even the tissue cannot control them. It's really unsettling..."
Wu Qi, who was sandwiched behind the two of them, whispered.
Due to personnel level issues, Wu Qi and Mao Jiarui did not know as much information as Yin Ji, so many things could only be judged from a limited perspective.
Among the few experiences of the Backstabbing Team, the destruction of Research Station No. 7 was an impressive event. At that time, they also lost a teammate, who was known to a few people as Lao Xia—Xia Zixian.
The investigation mission of mutant creature 1158 was stopped abruptly by the organization before it even started.
They dispatched their secret assassination team to Yunlong Town overnight, without even having time to replenish them with corresponding equipment and preparations.
It is difficult for the members of the Backstabbing Team to have doubts about these successive incidents.
How much control does the organization have over the Heartbreak Project?
To be honest, they didn't have such an idea at first.
But the problems that arise one after another make them feel more and more insecure.
The mysterious T organization is like a child playing with fire, watching the fire get stronger and stronger, but it has no power to put it out.
"These things are not ours to worry about. Rescue the Sheep and Scorpion and concentrate on completing the mission!"
Yin Ji did not start to sigh like the two team members. After reminding him in a bad tone, the thin man took the lead and stepped into the hotel door.
Entering the hotel, Yin Ji smelled
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
There was a strong smell of dust, as if dozens of cleaners were taking turns beating the door in front of him with brooms stained with lime.
"Ahem..."
Although Yin Ji was an out-and-out first-level ability user, due to his keen sense of smell, he was still dizzy by the strong smell of dust.
"Ha, let me tell you, how can that thing completely reproduce a building complex? The limit is to be able to achieve the same appearance..."
The white beam of light swept across and he saw the appearance of the hotel clearly, and Mao Jiarui pretended to be relaxed and said.
He also smelled the strong smell of dust in the air, which seemed to be a reminder to everyone that the building in front of them was not a normal man-made product, but was born from a strange mutant creature.
"Although the interior of the building is very rough, it is incredible to be able to use sand to construct a building in a short period of time. Be vigilant and don't relax!"
Yin Ji reminded him and turned his gaze to the stairs.
According to the description given by the organization, the mutant creature that needs to be investigated should be located underground in the hotel. You can find it by going down the stairs.
In fact, the current situation of the Backstabbing Team is not optimistic. They do not understand the mutated creatures underground in the Poetic Hotel, and the information given by the organization is only a few words.
Going underground so rashly is indeed a very dangerous move.
But Yin Ji had no choice.
He can bear the consequences of mission failure or even give up on the mission.
But he can't give up Yang Xiu.
Although it was unclear where Yang Xiu was taken by those strange sand grains, Yin Ji knew that as long as he found the single body in the mission, Yang Xiu's whereabouts would be revealed.
Going down the not-so-wide passage, the three members of the Dark Assassin team soon arrived at the underground of the Poetic Hotel.
The surrounding walls have become increasingly rough here, losing the refinement on the outside. The scrawled layout and scratch marks make them deviate from the category of artificial objects.
In a way, it's more like the cave walls scrawled by giant reptiles.
"This doesn't look like a basement. It's clearly an underground cave... Compared with Research Station No. 22, it's not even the slightest bit worse..."
Observing the surrounding environment, Maozi's chatterbox opened up again.
It seemed that as long as he was not in the sniper position, he could not continue to remain silent.
"Maozi, can you die if you stay quiet..."
At the same time as the high-pitched voice came faintly, Yin Ji hit Mao Jiarui with his elbow.
Unexpectedly, after making this move, Mao Jiarui seemed to be stimulated by something and suddenly screamed out.
"ah!"
"What on earth are you doing? Why don't I just slap you..."
Yin Ji couldn't bear it anymore and turned his head. Before he could say the scolding, his mouth was quickly covered by Mao Jiarui.
"Well!"
Mao Jiarui raised a finger and made a silent gesture to his lips, then glanced sideways, signaling Yin Ji to look towards the wall on the right.
Following the beam of the headlight on the submachine gun, a jagged wall appeared in Yin Ji's sight.
Scratches of varying depths are scattered all over it, as if they form a scroll of scrawled pictures from the cross-cutting rift valley.
Although it looks a bit strange, there is nothing suspicious on it.
After staring at the wall for a long time, Yin Ji glanced suspiciously at Mao Jiarui beside him.
"What are you doing? You're so surprised.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Yeah, did that wall eat your tofu just now? "
Upon hearing Yin Ji's inquiry, Mao Jiarui seemed to be a different person. The relaxation on his face no longer existed, leaving only deep worry and fear.
"Yin, Brother Yin, haven't you seen it? It's right there... Hey, Brother Yin, please keep your voice down..."
Mao Zi murmured in his mouth, seeming to catch a glimpse of the dissociation in Yin Ji's eyes. He shrank his neck and carefully pointed the light at a certain spot on the wall.
"Look there..."
With trust in Mao Jiarui, Yin Ji squinted again, but the wall was still the same mottled surface. Except that the light and shadow on it were a little clearer, there was nothing special about it.
"There's nothing, Maozi, what are you doing..."
“Brother Yin, can’t you see?”
Hearing Yin Ji's answer, the expression on Mao Jiarui's face changed suddenly. As if to confirm that there was nothing wrong with his eyes, the sniper raised his hand and rubbed his brow bone and looked at it intently again.
But within a few seconds this time, Mao Jiarui's flashlight suddenly deflected and moved away from the original wall to somewhere else. The speed was unusually fast, as if he was chasing some invisible creature in the dark.
"What the hell are you crazy about!"
Yin Ji was a little annoyed. From his perspective, Mao Jiarui looked like an epileptic patient who suddenly had a seizure, and the flashlight in his hand kept changing directions.
The high frequency of light and dark changes made Yin Ji's eyes that had adapted to the darkness a little uncomfortable, and the anger that had calmed down was aroused again.
"No, Brother Yin, it's not that I'm crazy, it's that thing that ran away!"
Mao Jiarui seemed like a child who was not understood by others, and his voice trembled slightly when he spoke.
"Weapons, did you see the weapons?"
As if he just remembered the third person in the team, Mao Jiarui quickly turned his head and looked at Wu Qi aside.
"Brother Mao, there is nothing on that wall...did you see it wrong..."
Wu Qi scratched his head, subconsciously scanned the surrounding darkness with his eyes, and replied.
"No, you two really didn't see that thing?!"
Mao Jiarui was stunned. He had clearly seen a plump giant insect lying on the wall just now, but the other two people in his team did not see it.
Could it be that he was too frightened and was hallucinating before his eyes?
"You were so surprised, what did you see? Don't scare yourself!"
Yin Ji suppressed the anger in his heart and asked patiently.
Stability within the team is very important. The surrounding situation is so complicated now. If the people in the team are not stable anymore, big problems will easily occur.
"A maggot...ah, no, it's a very fat maggot..."
After swallowing, Mao Jia tried his best to recall the scene at that time.
"But that maggot has legs, two pairs of legs, just like a spider..."
"Brother Mao... Spiders usually have four pairs of legs..."
Wu Qi spoke in a low voice and pointed out Mao Jiarui's mistake.
"Hey, don't worry about those details!"
Mao Jiarui waved his hand and nervously glanced around with a flashlight. After confirming that the invisible bug had really disappeared, he spoke eagerly.
"Anyway, that thing makes my hair stand on end. Haven't you seen it? It's a really big bug..."
As he said that, Maozi made some gestures with his hands.
"Starting from the ground, the length of that insect is almost up to my chest, and its body is as thick as my waist..."
