"Ah! Me, my body, my body?" As the palms locked, opposite to him, Stephen, who was shaking his head wildly and shaking his head, stopped moving, as if he was tied up by an invisible rope for an instant, completely helpless. Moving, as expected, Stephen will die next, and will either be crushed into pieces or torn apart like George or Daniel at the beginning, but what is unexpected is...

This time, the mummy man didn't move a finger or kill the person, but simply imprisoned the other person. He just tied Stephen to the corner and couldn't move. Next...

Swish, swish, swish.

There was a noise at the scene, and countless black beetles sprung out of the mummy man's body. They immediately rushed forward like a wave, crawled to the opposite side, and crawled towards Stephen, who was already unable to move!

"ah!!!"

The moment he witnessed the mummy releasing a massive amount of beetles, Stephen already understood. He instantly understood his outcome. Although he could not figure out until his death why there were so many disgusting beetles inside the mummy, he still saw the black insects crawling around. After looking at the picture of himself, his eyes widened in an instant, and he screamed desperately on the spot. Under excessive fear, Stephen struggled desperately with his eyeballs protruding. He wanted to break free and escape from here, but unfortunately he couldn't. No matter how hard he tried, the bondage was always as tight as a rope. He was restricted, and there was only one result of the restriction, and that was to wait for death! He watched helplessly as the sea of ​​insects crawled toward him!

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Plop, clatter, clatter.

In the end, the black insects came into contact with the body, and then spread all over the body and began to bite as Stephen's almost mutated screams of pain began to bite, tearing the muscles and gobbling up even though Stephen was clearly still alive! In order to compete for food, some crawl into the ears, some into the nasal cavity, and some rush into the mouth, but more of them directly tear open the skin and get into the body! Under the gaze of Stephen's mostly protruding eyeballs, he climbed up and devoured wildly. For a moment, blood spattered, flesh was everywhere, and the penetrating bites filled the toilet and reverberated in the eardrums. Stephen could only watch and watch himself. Being bitten and devoured by a sea of ​​insects, this is torture, torture, a torture from hell that is ten times more cruel than Ling Chi! ! !

But he had no choice but to stop it, and the reason why he couldn't stop it was the shackles that he couldn't break free from. Because of this, he could only watch and watch millions of black insects bite him!

"ah!!!"

Time passed slowly as the sea of ​​insects spread and gnawed away. Half a minute later, Stephen screamed and disappeared. One minute later, only the skeleton was left in the corner. Two minutes later, the skeleton was completely gone.

Swish, swish, swish.

When even the remains and skeletons were devoured, and it was confirmed that there was no more food, the sea of ​​insects turned around and began to return, burrowing into the dried corpses again just like when they came. As the black worms penetrated the body, within a moment, the chaotic scene returned to calm. Unfortunately, , the calm did not last long, just a few seconds of silence, and the sound appeared again on the scene, a series of painful moans and howls.

"Ugh, ahhhhh!"

Yes, just now, when Stephen's sea of ​​insects was swallowed up, and when the sea of ​​insects returned to his body and disappeared, the mummy man did not leave, but opened his mouth towards the corner, and as his mouth opened, in an instant, he saw Stephen, who had no body left earlier, actually appeared again. The only difference was that although Stephen appeared, this time his figure was transparent and almost illusory. As soon as he appeared, the man held his head and howled in pain, and soon turned into a ball. Forced to absorb it, it was instantly sucked into the mouth of the mummy man like a noodle!

As the wailing ceased and the absorption ended, the toilet returned to dead silence, completely silent. As for the mummy man...

The man has changed, the changes are becoming more and more obvious!

Yes, after swallowing and completely absorbing Stephen, I looked closely and saw that the light red mist that had previously enveloped the body surged again, evolving from the less obvious light red to a striking red. In addition, it was already red. The blood-like eyes also deepened in color, suddenly changing from the early dark red to the ultimate deep red. No one knew what the above changes meant, but the mummy man really felt the change and noticed the change. At this moment, he looked around him with an increasingly In the thick red mist, the mummy man moved. He floated out of the toilet and came to the corridor, and then...

He lowered his head slightly and made a prayer gesture with his hands. At the same time, a series of strange spells that no one could understand echoed in the corridor.

"Gulu, kabaha, vukuha."

After reciting the incantation, an incredible scene happened:

Cluck, cluck.

On both sides of the corridor, several knights' armors that were originally displayed as decorations suddenly moved, as if they were given life in an instant. They shook for a while, and then moved like this without anyone wearing them. They all pulled out the iron swords from their waists! ! !

Brush, brush, brush!

……………

Under the mummy man's incantation, three knight armors that were supposed to be used as decoration came to life on both sides of the corridor. They moved on their own with the armor alone, even though no one was wearing them. No one knew what happened during this period, but it was impossible to What is denied is that as the spell was recited, the armors took action. They first drew out the iron swords from their waists, then turned around and walked away, leaving the corridor with a very purposeful click, and finally disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

As for the mummy man...

As the three armors disappeared from sight, a similar scene appeared next. The man began to sink, sinking into the ground little by little like he had done on the second floor not long ago, until he submerged into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, the lobby on the first floor of the castle.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.

"Wow!"

The silent hall was completely broken by a series of howling and running. Looking for sound, I saw three security guards wearing camouflage rolling down the stairs, as if there was some huge danger upstairs that could kill them. Several people had to run. Even though they escaped from the second floor and fled to the first floor, the three of them still screamed and ran non-stop, risking their lives and running in panic. During the run, Jim's face was as white as paper, and he ran with Thomas who was also pale. screamed, but Richard, who was running in the middle, was in slightly better condition. Although he was also frightened, at least Richard did not scream. Instead, he changed the magazine while running, discarded the magazine that had been emptied earlier, and took out the The magazines were changed quickly. It was obvious that compared to Jim and Thomas, Richard could see the resemblance more clearly. In other words, from the horrific encounter just now, he was certain of one thing, that is...

There are crocodiles in the castle! There is a terrible evil spirit that kills people on sight!

evidence? The evidence he had just seen with his own eyes was the human remains scattered on the second floor!

The Mummy Man is vicious and murderous, and he ignores bullets and is completely immortal. He cannot be solved by any means. If the guess is correct, the strange malfunction of the monitoring and the inexplicable interruption of communication should also be affected by the Mummy Man. What does this mean? It's very simple. It means that the castle can't be stayed. If you continue to stay, there will be only death. All living people staying in the castle will die. So what he must do now is to escape and escape from the castle as quickly as possible. As for staying upstairs, Other colleagues on board, as well as the group of Easterners whose identities are questionable...

To be honest, if possible, Richard would like to take them to escape together. At the worst, he would call his colleagues who have worked with him for many years downstairs. As a captain, he has an obligation to think about the lives of his team members. This is true. It's a pity that he can't do it, because the cruel reality is forcing him to put down his responsibilities. The Mummy Man is too scary. The sense of oppression that can make anyone's liver and gallbladder split just by looking at it is beyond the bottom line of human psychology, so run away! You must escape, no matter what, escape from this death castle!

But then again, despite the concerns of the members upstairs, Richard still tried his best and tried his best to save lives.

"Hey! Stephen! Come out quickly and run with us! We can't stay in the castle any longer!" As soon as he reached the first floor, Richard shouted at the top of his lungs, giving an early warning to Stephen who was supposed to be repairing equipment in the control room. However, The strange thing was that no matter how loud he shouted, there was no response from the control room. It wasn't until a few people passed by the room and looked in through the glass that they found that the control room was empty. Where was Stephen?

"Damn it!"

Seeing that Stephen was not at the scene, Richard had no choice but to curse. He had no choice but to continue running. Bracing his scalp and Jim, who had already lost his mind, they rushed to the castle gate. The result was certain...

Bah.

Relying on the ID card that he brought with him, the electronic door opened smoothly. Opening the door means that the escape is half successful. Why do you have to use half to describe it? That's because escaping from the castle does not mean escaping from the castle. Even if you escape from the castle gate, there are still walls and obstacles around it, and there is also a huge and thick solid gate.

Fortunately, the city gate was still not a problem for the three of them. As a professional security team, since they signed a contract with the museum, the team should have obtained all the keys to the castle, which naturally included the city gate key. The key has been kept by Richard. They were carried with them, and because of this, even if the city gate was closed and locked, the three of them still did not panic and ran straight to the city gate in front of them.

Seeing the city gate getting closer and closer, Xu thought that there was hope for survival. In the process, Jim's fear was slightly reduced, and he turned his head and asked the two people running beside him: "Just now, was that mummy just now? Why can it float in mid-air? Why is it still floating in the air?" Why can't you kill that thing?"

"That's not a mummy, it's a locust, a locust that can easily kill all of us!" Seeing that Jim still couldn't figure out the situation, Richard, who was already regretting and upset, replied coldly without turning his head. The most concise and straightforward word '蝞' solved the mystery in Jim's mind. As expected, when he heard the word 蝞, Jim was shocked at first, and now he understood the cause and effect. Although the word 蝞 is an oriental word, even idiots know the meaning of 螞. This is the same as the terms used in the West such as devils and ghosts. After living for so many years, I thought there were no nymphs in the world, but I never thought that I would see it with my own eyes!

"God! Please protect us!" After hearing the answer, Jim's panic intensified. He, who had just improved slightly, was once again enveloped in the cold. He actually ran even harder. Jim did the same, and Thomas did the same. They looked like two people who were about to successfully escape from prison. The condemned prisoners were running wildly with all their strength, just to escape from the cage and avoid death. They all rushed to the city gate through the lawn under the leadership of Richard.

It is said that people can often unleash their physical potential beyond normal times in a crisis. There is indeed a certain truth to this. Knowing that there was a dragon in the castle, within a few moments, the three of them passed through the central open space and successfully arrived at the end point, officially arriving there. The huge city gate represents the end point.

Then……

Richard was dumbfounded, Jim was dumbfounded, and Thomas was equally dumbfounded. For a moment, the three of them stood in front of the door, frozen in silence, and the reason why they collectively froze as if in a daze was that the door lock disappeared!

Looking down, I saw that the big lock on the city gate that was supposed to hold the chain was missing. It disappeared mysteriously. Logically speaking, the disappearance of the door lock is a good thing, but the problem is that in addition to the disappearance of the door lock, the city gates that were originally connected to each other by the door locks The chains grew together for no reason, surrounding the city gate and sealing it in a natural way!

Why? Why did things become like this? I remember that when I first came to the castle, the city gate still had a lock and the iron chain could still be opened, but why, why did the city gate become like this after only a few hours? It was completely sealed by the chains!

Sealing the city gate means there is no hope of escape, and no hope of escape means waiting to die.

As for violent destruction?

Don’t dream. The thick chains that are as big as your arms are extremely strong. Unless you use large machinery or professional cutting equipment, no one can break the city gate chains. That is to say, but unfortunately, there are no large-scale chains that can violently break the door. The machinery does not have professional cutting and welding equipment. This is a castle, just a medieval castle that lags far behind modern civilization!

"The door, the door lock is gone, the chains have grown together again, the door is sealed, we, we can't get out... No, no, no!"

After being stunned for a moment, Jim murmured to himself in front of the city gate, fingering the chain. His voice was quite soft at first, but at the end he became more and more excited. In the end, he put his head in his hands and screamed in fear. Yes, it was confirmed that the city gate was sealed. Just now Jim, who was still full of hope, was crushed. He was shocked by the incomprehensible and strange phenomenon in front of him, and his face was ashen and trembling. Faced with such a result, maybe he is not afraid at ordinary times. He only needs to take out his mobile phone to contact the outside world, but... This time is different, different. Under the influence of an unknown force, all communication equipment in the castle has been paralyzed. What's more, there is a wolf in the castle, a terrifying mummy that can easily tear people into pieces. !

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Help! I don't want to stay here, let me out quickly, let me out!"

Many times fear is contagious, so is despair the same? In front of the door, just when Jim was holding his head and collapsed, Thomas directly hit the city door, shouting for help while banging frantically. Unfortunately, it was meaningless, it was meaningless, facing a thick door that even a tank could not break open. The city gate, human impact is like scratching an itch, it can only make some noise at most. Jim understands this, and even Thomas himself who hits the city gate understands that the reason why he hits the city gate is just to vent his fear. When there is no other way, the instinct is to vent the fear of death.

As for Richard, the man was equally frightened. He also staggered and almost fell after witnessing the strange situation of the city gate being sealed. He was frightened by the shocking result that was beyond his preview and turned pale. He knew what the city gate was sealed, so He was also fearful and timid, but even though he was frightened and timid, Richard was not afraid of being knocked down after all. Indeed, as a soldier who has actually been on the battlefield, his psychological quality is absolutely incomparable to other people, and his actual ability to withstand stress is far stronger. Jim and Thomas relied on this excellent quality. Although they were panicked and almost desperate, in fact, the panic did not last long. In fact, when Jim and Thomas were still trapped in fear and couldn't extricate themselves, Richard had already suppressed his fear and looked around. Surrounding, frequently scan the surrounding environment.

There is no doubt that after confirming the reality that the city gate was sealed and difficult to leave, Richard immediately focused on searching for other ways to leave the castle. After all, he was in front of an ancient castle with a history of thousands of years. Although the city wall was extremely high and insurmountable, , but who can guarantee that there are no loopholes? Maybe there is a low hidden hole in the corner of a certain section of the city wall? As long as they can find the entrance to the cave, they will be able to escape from danger and ascend to heaven.

Relying on the unique tactical mind of a soldier, as expected, as soon as the idea came into his mind, Richard quickly turned around and scanned his surroundings, trying to find a hidden hole through which he could escape in disguise. Unfortunately, he failed. He did not find the hidden hole. As for failure, s reason? The reason was not that he was not observing carefully, but that Richard had no time to carry out the so-called search plan.

because……

At the same second when Richard turned around and looked around the city wall, he accidentally saw a scene:

Behind him, the castle door that was supposed to be so tightly opened inexplicably opened again.

Seeing this scene, Richard was overjoyed for a moment, subconsciously thinking that it was other security guards who ran out of the castle. However, the joy only lasted for a second. The next moment, Richard's expression changed. The earlier joy disappeared and was replaced by The shock, the confusion, and the pupils that opened wider and wider!

Click, click, click.

Accompanied by a series of crisp sounds that were very similar to the impact of iron tools, I looked closely and saw three people walking out of the castle gate. No, no, they were not people, but three armors, three of the most standard medieval knight armors. !

As we all know, the Middle Ages was an era of turmoil, and wars often broke out between countries. In order to reduce casualties as much as possible, many countries with strong financial resources have built knight armors, and knight armors are mostly heavy metal armors that cover the whole body. Because the armor covers almost the whole body, the actual defense is extremely abnormal, and it can completely withstand any conventional attack except heavy weapons. Of course, there are gains and losses. Although the knight armor has unparalleled defense strength, because the armor is too heavy, once put on, It is difficult for people to move. Even if they go to the battlefield, these knights in heavy armor will always attack on war horses. What does this mean? It's very simple, that is, the knight's armor is extremely heavy, and it is impossible for anyone to walk around wearing it, but...

At this moment, a scene that went against common sense happened. A hundred meters away, three people walked out of the castle gate. Three people wearing heavy armor walked out. Since their body, limbs and even their heads were all covered by armor, Richard did not know the identity of the visitor. , but he smelled something abnormal from the opponent's posture of moving at will while wearing heavy armor, and found something was wrong. The matter was not over yet. If it was shocking enough to say that humans wearing heavy armor and moving at will was enough, then the next scene But it directly made Richard's liver and gallbladder split!

In the field of vision, as soon as they walked out of the castle, three armored figures started running with sharp swords in their hands. Although they were obviously wearing heavy armor, they stepped forward and accelerated their movements. They rushed towards the city gate collectively at a speed that was completely equal to that of a human being. They rushed towards the still stunned people. The three Richards in front of the gate! ! !

"Ah! Then, what is that?"

As expected, when he saw three knight armors running towards him, not only Richard was frightened, but Jim and Thomas, who had just collapsed with their heads in their hands, were also frightened. This is for sure. Although they They don't have Richard's level of understanding, but they are not idiots after all. They still understand basic common sense. At least they know that no one can run wearing heavy armor, let alone run at such a speed! Seeing three armors running towards him, Jim was frightened. Like Thomas, his mind was blank and dumbfounded. He just watched the armors rushing towards him!

Fortunately, there was still Richard at the scene. Seeing the armor getting closer and closer, Richard finally reacted first and without thinking about anything else, he quickly pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger!

boom! boom! boom!

He raised the reloaded police pistol, pressed his finger, and three bullets came out of the chamber and shot towards the target, then flew towards the three armors respectively. Since the opponent was wearing heavy armor, Richard did not expect the bullets to hit the target. Killing three people, this is the guess, and the reality is also the same. Because the armor is too thick, although the bullet hits the target, it only makes a crisp sound. The final result is only a dent on the surface of the armor. This is expected. results, but it also brought about another unexpected result, that is...

Due to the suddenness and haste of the incident, Richard fired three shots in a row, and the three bullets did hit three armors one at a time, but one of them was deflected and did not hit the chest like the first two. , but hit the arm, hitting the left arm of one of the armors, but who could have imagined that it was this bullet that solved the mystery for Richard and discovered the answer.

Bang!

Perhaps the armor connection was not firm, and the bullet was extremely powerful. When the bullet came into contact with the armor's left arm, the violent impact directly knocked the armor's left arm to the ground.

Then, Richard saw the air, saw nothingness, and saw with his own eyes that there was nothing inside the armor. In simple terms, it can be understood as...

There was no one inside the armor, and there was no heavy armor wearer as expected. There was only armor, just armor, or rather the armor was running, moving, and attacking them with weapons on its own! ! !

(magic?)

Seeing this, Richard was shocked. At the same time, the word 'magic' came to his mind, a fictional word that only existed in movies. Such thoughts, but unfortunately now was not the time to think about this. After confirming that the bullet was ineffective, Richard suddenly He yelled and yelled crazily at the two people around him: "Quick! Go back and return to the castle immediately!"
