(It seems that my initial guess about the earthbound spirit was wrong. Although the difficulty of the task is difficult, the worm in the task is not an earthbound spirit. Not only is it not an earthbound spirit, it is not even a spirit worm in the conventional sense. It’s not a monster, but an undead, an undead from the abyss of hell!)
(If not, then why is there a star formation representing magic at the feet of the mummy man?)
Relying on a clever mind almost as good as that of He Fei, Zhao Ping guessed the basic answer, and the answer was precisely the nature of the worm that the executor was not sure about at first. What is the nature of the mummy man? The answer is 90% that it is a magical undead, which is a mysterious existence that the executor has no idea about!
As the saying goes, the unknown is the scariest thing, not to mention the mysterious undead before us whose only existence is very different from regular spirits!
(Oops, I don’t know anything about magic, and neither does everyone else. Now I’m in trouble...)
Thinking of this, Zhao Ping broke into a cold sweat, and his earlier calm expression disappeared, replaced by panic, just like when he first came into contact with the Earthbound Spirit a long time ago, his whole person was filled with fear brought by the unknown!
only……
If you only look at the surface, if you only look at the opponent's ability without considering the nature of the creature, perhaps the Mummy Man still has a more obvious weakness. As for what the weakness is, it is poor perception!
Yes, as Zhao Ping pondered above, although the Mummy Man's abilities are weird and abnormal, and he has the incredible ability to kill people regardless of distance, the other party's perception ability should not be good. As for the evidence...
The evidence is none other than himself, the four people at the scene who are still in the corridor for a long time and have not moved!
Obviously, as a veteran who has survived nearly 20 supernatural missions, Zhao Ping never fights an unprepared battle. In order to survive to the end as much as possible, he has a plan at all times, even if the situation is urgent There was no plan, and he could still quickly construct a strategy based on the actual situation afterwards. Yes, from the moment he arrived at the East District Corridor, Zhao Ping constructed a plan instantly. As the plan was constructed, Zhao Ping began to implement it, and that's it The purpose of staying in the corridor for a long time without fear of death is very simple. It is an experiment to verify the strength of the creature's perception!
If the mummy man can quickly find his hiding place, it will prove that in addition to his powerful attack, his perception ability is also strong. But if the opponent never appears, it will prove that his perception is weak. Pay attention, this is extremely important. No matter what, It must be verified, and must be verified personally, and only in this way can he continue to implement the next plan.
Seeing this, some people may question, and then wonder why Zhao Ping dared to take risks to conduct experiments himself. Isn't he afraid of death? After all, the terrifying power of the Mummy Man is there. Once discovered by him, he will be dead. To risk his life just to verify a conjecture, doesn't this conflict with the original goal of survival?
No, it's not contradictory, not at all. At least in Zhao Ping's eyes, he doesn't think he will die unless...
Unless he is the only one there!
So, under the conscious choice of the man with glasses, the four of them hid in the corridor without moving for a long time, until an hour passed quietly.
result……
Zhao Ping came to the conclusion that the mummy man's perception was weak and he did not seem to have the strong perception of a regular spirit body!
With the conclusion of the experiment concluded, Zhao Ping felt at ease, but...
Just when the bespectacled man was relaxing and secretly rejoicing, without waiting to formulate his next plan, next to him, Kong Ling, who had been looking around due to boredom, opened his eyes slightly, then pointed at the ground, pointed behind Zhao Ping and said curiously:
"Huh? Where did the black beetle come from?"
……………
In the corridor, following the direction of the ethereal arm, William and Robert turned back one after another, looking behind them with curiosity on their faces. When they looked back, they saw a black beetle appearing on the ground at some point. The size of the beetle was not too big. It is one-third the size of a palm, and its body is round and plump. At first glance, no one recognizes it, but...
When Zhao Ping looked back at the beetle and saw the beetle's appearance with his own eyes, the man's expression changed in just a moment. His pupils shrank suddenly, his face turned pale, and he revealed an expression of horror comparable to that of a hawk!
Because he had seen this beetle before, and witnessed it with his own eyes in the original video preview. After the mummy man killed the blond woman, he released a sea of insects composed of this beetle, and the sea of insects swallowed up the woman's body. The corpse was devoured with all the skin and bones, and the bug that came into view at this moment was exactly the same as in the original video. It was a terrifying bug that grew up by eating human flesh!
It is also worth mentioning that since it is clear that the black beetle belongs to the mummy man, and this kind of black bug appears in front of us, is it possible...
Hooray.
The next moment, while maintaining an expression of panic, Zhao Ping moved, and at the moment when he figured out the key, he ran away without any warning, leaving others behind and rushing forward in a way comparable to a 100-meter sprint, and ran straight to the exit of the corridor. Of course, , although Zhao Ping is fast, Kong Ling is not slow either. In fact, as soon as the man ran away, the girl seemed to have recognized the beetle's identity, her face condensed and she followed him. They both moved away from the black beetle as quickly as possible, and in the end, only William and the two were left behind. Seeing this, the two of them looked at each other instinctively, dumbfounded. They never dreamed that an insect could scare this oriental man and woman who were so calm earlier? Having said that, driven by the unique human tendency to follow the herd, the two of them still saw each other's panic from the brief blank stare at each other, and then they followed each other in panic like two frightened rabbits.
"Ah, Mr. Zhao, what's wrong with you two? Why are you running? Wait, wait for us!" While running, William kept asking with doubts on his face, and shouted together with Robert who was also full of doubts. Unfortunately, their questions were not answered. The person replied that all they had was Zhao Ping Kongling's desperate running. However, even if Zhao Ping and Kong remained silent, within a moment, William and his wife also found the answer on their own, a real answer that prompted the bespectacled man to run away for no reason:
Seeing that no one answered the question, out of curiosity, while running, the two of them instinctively looked back behind them and towards the corridor where the few people were just now, but it was better not to look. At first glance, the first thing that caught their eyes was the mummy. It was a dark mummy rising slowly!
As far as the eye could see, I saw that at some point, a mummy appeared near the beetle. Now it was like a bamboo shoot that had been accelerated countless times, emerging from the ground and appearing in the corridor from the bottom up from the absolutely solid ground!
"Whoa, ah, ah, ah, ah!"
As expected, when they saw the scene behind them, or when they saw the mummy that had torn Daniel into pieces again, the two security guards, whether it was William or Robert, were immediately frightened. They never dreamed of the mummy man. He was able to find them, and even appeared directly in the corridor where they had just hidden! If they had not followed Zhao Ping to escape in advance, they must have been caught by this time. In fear, the two cried for their father and mother while running and screaming, and they accelerated their escape. At the same time, they heard the scream behind them, and Zhao Ping also completely confirmed According to my earlier guess, that is...
Black worms can indeed attract locusts!
what does that mean? It's very simple. It means that the Mummy Man's perception is indeed weak. Weakness means no perception. Although this is the case, unexpectedly, the other party made up for this weakness in disguise by releasing black insects, using the special induction between himself and the black insects to kill him. As an eyeliner, as expected, the Mummy Man must have released a large number of black worms in the castle. Each black worm is equivalent to the Mummy Man's eyes!
(Damn, this is trouble!)
Thinking of this, Zhao Ping couldn't help but feel frightened. If Zhao Ping is like this, why not Kongling? As a girl who is more witty and sharp than adults, in fact, Kong Ling reacted as early as the moment Zhao Ping ran away. In addition to running with Zhao Ping immediately, she also learned from Zhao Ping's initial shock. He realized something in fear, and then realized the exact same answer as Zhao Ping, and the answer was precisely that the black worm represented the mummy man, which means that wherever the black worm is, it is actually the same as what the mummy man saw. place, not to mention...
God knows how many black bugs the mummy man released?
The above are the true thoughts in Zhao Ping's mind, and they are also the true feelings in Kong Ling's heart. Unfortunately, this is not the time to think about these. At this moment, listening to William and the two screaming in terror, Zhao Ping turned around to observe the situation. Unexpectedly, he just turned around. , but what came into view was a scene that could make him or even any executor burst into tears:
In the field of vision, the mummy man did appear, emerging from the ground to reveal his figure in a manner that was very similar to hiding from the ground. Perhaps it was a coincidence. When Zhao Ping turned around, the first thing he saw was his arm. He witnessed the mummy man stretching out his arm and heading straight towards it. The four people in front stretched out their palms and stretched out the life-threatening hands that represented death!
Because he knew that the mummy man could kill people in the air regardless of distance, Zhao Ping suddenly felt horrified when he saw this, and his running speed increased again. It was obvious that even though he was horrified, Zhao Ping still did not despair. The reason was that he was not the only one at the scene. , there are Kong Ling and two security guards around him, which means that even if the other party takes action, they may not actually lock you, or the chance of locking you is extremely low. After all, there are two security guards behind you. According to the convention, the closer the distance, the more dangerous it is. Logically, even if it is locked, the unlucky ones will only be William and William who are lagging behind. In any case, they will not be able to get their turn in the front row.
Zhao Ping thought so with a sense of luck, but unfortunately...
He guessed wrong!
In a flash, just when Zhao Ping thought he was safe and continued to accelerate, he noticed something strange.
(Huh? What's going on, my legs, my legs...)
While running, the left and right legs that were running like the wind suddenly became paralyzed, as if they suddenly lost consciousness and were completely out of control of the nerves. They lost consciousness in the blink of an eye. The loss of consciousness caused a sharp decrease in speed. A sharp decrease in speed meant that the speed was getting worse. The running became slower and slower, and not only that, as the legs became paralyzed and lost consciousness for no reason, the numbness continued to rise, spreading from bottom to top throughout the body at lightning speed, first covering the legs, then wrapping around the waist, and then crazily rushing to the upper chest!
Feeling the paralysis spreading rapidly throughout his body, Zhao Ping's expression froze. He froze instantly and maintained his frozen expression. He saw behind him that William was normal, Robert was normal, and Kong Ling running beside him was also normal.
Perhaps the girl's sixth sense was too sharp. When the bespectacled man glanced sideways at her, she seemed to notice something. Kong Ling also turned her head to look at the man out of curiosity.
Their eyes met, and what came into view was Zhao Ping's face as pale as paper.
(Um?)
Seeing this, Kong Ling was confused for a moment and was stunned. As for Zhao Ping...
Because he had just observed, he wasted half a second, but it was in this mere half second that the numbness finally surged into his chest. It was still spreading rapidly, spreading rapidly, and continued to climb towards the upper shoulders.
(This feeling is so difficult, can you say...)
(No, no, no...)
"No!!!"
Suddenly, as if he understood something, a strange paralysis enveloped his body. In addition to his pale face, Zhao Ping roared and roared. During the roar, his pale face became distorted, and at the same time, he reached into his arms with his right hand. , making a lightning move before the numbness spreads to his shoulders, taking out the pistol at the last moment when his arm was still feeling, and immediately pulled the trigger hard at the mummy man a hundred meters away!
Coincidentally, as soon as his finger pulled the trigger, paralysis enveloped his shoulders and wrapped his left and right arms. With the complete loss of feeling in his arms, Zhao Ping's fingers stopped and he could not continue to shoot. However, despite this, he still fired. , Zhan barely sent out a bullet before being completely imprisoned.
boom!
With the sound of breaking through the air, the metal bullet with the absolute speed of sound rushed straight out of the gun barrel and shot towards the target. It rushed straight towards the face of the mummy at a speed that no creature in the world could stop or even see clearly. If nothing goes wrong, the bullet would have hit the target. He hit the target after 0.3 seconds, easily blowing up the head of the mummy just like Richard did when he shot to protect himself, and then forcibly interrupted the mummy's killing, but...
This time is different. There is an exception this time. The reason is that the current Mummy Man is no longer the original Mummy Man. In other words, since absorbing Stephen, the Mummy Man is now different from what it used to be, and its overall strength has been greatly improved.
As if he could clearly see the trajectory of the bullet, the moment the bullet rushed out of the gun barrel, the mummy immediately started to move. Although his right hand had been stretched forward to lock on the prey, his free left hand was also suddenly raised, and at the same time, his five fingers spread out to lock on the bullet. ,Then……
The bullet stopped.
It had already flown in front of the mummy man and was even half a meter away from being shot in the head. It suddenly paused for no reason. Now it was suspended in mid-air and stopped in front of the mummy. The bullet that had just been carrying the speed of sound was now like this. He was easily stopped by the mummy man with a wave of his hand, and now he was frozen in mid-air, unable to move any further!
Next…
Snap.
The bullet made a crisp sound when it hit the ground.
Zhao Ping saw this scene, his eyeballs protruded, and his flaws were so frightening that they were about to burst! ! !
Bullets ineffective?
The sonic bullet with extremely strong impact was easily intercepted by the Mummy Man with a wave of his hand? Witnessing this scene, shock filled his mind. Zhao Ping was stunned by the unprecedented shock. Yes, because he knew that the mummy man had a physical body. In fact, when the numbness enveloped his body, Zhao Ping had already understood that he was locked by the opponent. To protect himself, he fired decisively, trying to use bullets to interrupt the opponent's attack and affect the opponent's lock, and then took the opportunity to escape and escape to heaven. After all, he had heard the gunshot not long ago. Due to the distance, he did not know who the shooter was. Who, but he was sure that the other party was the group of security guards who came downstairs. Through the gunshots and shouts, he concluded that the firearms were effective on the mummies. It was impossible to kill them, but they could eventually interrupt the mummies' murderous behavior. If it was ineffective, then It is impossible for a few security guards to escape downstairs smoothly, but why? Why was it that the security guard could use a gun to stop the mummy from killing people, but he himself...
Zhao Ping couldn't find the specific reason. In reality, he didn't have time to think about it, because the moment the bullet hit the ground, Zhao Ping fell into hell.
As the strange paralysis spread throughout his body, he was restrained. He felt as if he was tightly bound by a rope and his whole body was so tight that he could not move. Not only was he unable to move, but his feet were suspended in the air as if he was in space for an instant!
"Ugh!"
Seeing that his body was bound and hanging in the air, Zhao Ping's flaws were split and he screamed in horror. Yes, Zhao Ping had witnessed a mummy murder with his own eyes, so he knew what it meant to be caught. It meant that he was dead and would be like the unlucky security guard back then. His body would be torn apart like that, which meant that once he was caught, the only thing waiting for him would be death!
at the same time……
"ah!"
Since they had been running behind, William and Robert had a panoramic view of the entire process from Zhao Ping's unprovoked shooting to the moment he was suspended in the air. When they saw the man with glasses suddenly stopped and suspended in mid-air, they were stunned at first, and then they seemed to recall a certain moment. The group's expression changed drastically as if it was an unbearable horrific incident, and then they ran away rolling, crawling and screaming. Like the executioner, they had also witnessed Daniel's tragic death and knew what it meant to be suspended in mid-air. In order to avoid ending up in the same way In the end, the two of them ran away and ran around Zhao Ping screaming. As for Kong Ling...
The girl was stunned. The moment she saw Zhao Ping stop running and inexplicably rise into the air, her eyes widened and looked at him. Although her body was driven by inertia and passed by Zhao Ping, she was still running, but the girl's eyes were always locked on the man, and she suddenly shrank. Her pupils looked at each other with Zhao Ping. At this moment, the space seemed to freeze and time seemed to stand still. During the period of looking at each other, she saw many things in Zhao Ping's eyes, including despair, fear, unwillingness, and that The eyes are filled with red bloodshot eyes!
However, Kong Ling finally escaped and continued running non-stop under Zhao Ping's complicated gaze. Soon, the girl disappeared, and she and the two security guards bypassed Zhao Ping and ran into the distance.
Then……
It's an expected result.
Hooray.
After confirming that they had caught one person, opposite, the mummy man who was still stranded in the corridor without moving came straight over and slowly floated towards Zhao Ping. If it were someone else who saw a mummy floating towards him, the result would be that his liver and gallbladder would be broken and his feces and urine would flow out. , but Zhao Ping is different, only he is different. Seeing that the struggle is fruitless, somehow, he who was full of fear just now miraculously calms down. He no longer screams or panics, but quickly calms down, just clenching his teeth. Staring at the mummy, watching the other person get closer to you, until the mummy floats in front of you!
As mentioned above, as the distance between the two parties continued to get closer, Zhao Ping could see the mummy clearly. For the first time, he saw the mummy face to face up close and personal. The skinny body, the cracked limbs, and the red and red body. Xue's eyes all showed, but there were differences, two extremely obvious differences.
First, compared to the time when he hid behind the pillar and peeped and observed, this time, because the distance between the two parties was too close, in addition to the above points, he also found that the mummy man was shrouded in red mist, and his whole body was covered in a blood-colored mist.
Through the video preview, Zhao Ping knew that the mummy man had been shrouded in fog. After killing and absorbing the soul of the blonde woman, a faint red mist suddenly appeared and wrapped him. This was true in the memory, but the problem was that the mummy was wrapped at the moment. The red mist was obviously too rich. It was no longer the light red that was not so obvious at first, but had evolved into a dark red that was visible to the naked eye!
As for the second difference...
"Tell me, where is Elaine?"
Unsurprisingly, just like he did with Daniel not long ago, although he caught the prey, the mummy man did not take action immediately and did not kill Zhao Ping immediately. Instead, he prioritized asking questions and asked something that neither Zhao Ping nor anyone else could answer. The problem, the core of the problem is still Elaine, but the voice of the mummy man has changed. It is no longer as slow and hoarse as it was at the beginning, but it is more real and closer to the human voice!
(The red mist covering the body gradually became thicker after killing people, and the slow and hoarse voice became concise and clear after killing people, and the bullet was blocked just now. Could it be...)
(Could it be that the Mummy Man can increase his strength by killing or even absorbing human soul corpses?)
Many times clues often come from active collection, but who would have thought that at this moment, Zhao Ping was forced to collect clues even though he was unwilling to collect them, and thus obtained key information by chance.
It's a pity that it's meaningless, completely meaningless, because he was caught, and being caught means death, which means 100% certainty of death. Whether it is the blond woman in the video or the security guard who was arrested, so far, anyone who has been mummified Anyone who catches a man will always end up dead!
To make a digression, Zhao Ping was still unwilling to give up when he had a premonition that death was approaching. The reason was that he still had props and several supernatural props that could counteract slugs, but he was unable to do so when the Mummy Man attacked too quickly. Use, in fact, before he could use the props, he was already restricted by the other party, and thus lost all possibilities of using the props.
"Where is Elaine?"
At the same time, seeing that the man in front of him was silent for a long time and frowned, the mummy man's expression turned cold and asked again. At the same time, this was also the last chance left by the mummy man to Zhao Ping. It is certain that as the questions are repeated, if Zhao Ping continues to remain silent Or if the answer is wrong, then there is only one result waiting for him, and that is death, torn apart like Daniel, who has long been a wreck on the ground, without a complete body!
Others understand this truth, so why doesn’t Zhao Ping understand it? But the problem is that he really doesn’t know Elaine? Never even heard of it.
so……
Watching the expression changes of the mummy, after hearing the impatience in the other party's tone, Zhao Ping ended his silence and immediately answered, giving a unique answer to the question...
