Chapter 19 Abandoning Pretense

Chapter 19 Give up the disguise

Many things in this world, especially bad things, don’t worry if you don’t mention them, but they happen as soon as you mention them.

This kind of scene that often happens in horror movies comes as scheduled after the secret water says the word "trap".

The top of the cylindrical giant chamber was opened, and a mechanical centipede as long as a bus crawled down the wall.

"So disgusting..." Winesa looked up at the bug. The woman's instinct made her feel strongly disgusted with this pleated creature.

"Don't let it get close to me." She stood behind the consultant, strangled the consultant's neck with one hand, and used him as a human shield.

The consultant was half a head taller than Winesa and could only stand with her legs tilted: "Hey... what can I do?"

"I just saw that your ability is not using invisible threads. Wear a net and push it back." The consultant tilted his head: "You think my ability is infinite, and the room is so big, and the support point is far..."

Before he could finish his explanation, the gunsmith had already taken out the bone gun, switched to blasting mode, raised it and fired it. The bullets blasted out of the muzzle lit up in the air like a signal flare, hitting the target, and then exploded, blowing the big centipede to pieces.

After the gunsmith fired the gun, she swung the bone-swinging gun with her hand before re-shuting it. Although this mode is powerful, its disadvantages are also obvious. It takes time to cool down and accumulate energy to fire the second shot.

The fragments of the mechanical centipede fell down, and Suyside easily blocked the fragments one by one with his fists, protecting the "Leader John" hiding behind him; the gunsmith jumped around, turned his head, tilted his head, avoiding most of the fragments, but sometimes he would be hit by the wrench-sized metal. He just screamed "ah" and it was not painful or itchy.

The consultant really opened a net made of a line of truth, protecting herself and Vinessa around them. The fragments were blocked by this invisible net above their heads.

Winesa let go of the consultant's neck: "So that's it, this distance..."

The consultant said: "Take the opportunity to observe my abilities, right? But you shouldn't need to do this. Didn't you say that just one thought can activate my abilities and settle me?"

"You have to care." Winesa took out a lollipop from her backpack. It seemed that she hadn't eaten sweet things for too long and was addicted to sugar at this moment.

Suyside was calm and taciturn. In fact, he had been observing the three people who were Countercrossing. In the first giant room, he only heard the gunsmith attacking the mechanical bee, but did not see it. But at this moment, he saw the shot, and a strange thought arose in Suyside's heart: Why did the energy bullet that the kid had just fired, and the light emitted looked exactly the same to the light in the ruins... it only reflected the surrounding light?

Of course, Venisa has also noticed these situations. She saw more comprehensively than Suyside. She kept everyone's situation in her heart. Based on the situation she has mastered and the reasoning she made: the consultant's ability is basically clear. It is not difficult to deal with when controlling invisible lines within a certain range. The gunsmith's bone gun is a problem. So far, he has changed two shooting modes, one is extremely fast and medium. The other seems to need to cool down after shooting, but its power is amazing. How accurate is his gunshot?

It is not confirmed by this shot, but judging from the nickname "Gunsmith" and the destruction of the mechanical bees in the first giant chamber, even if it is not a single shot, he may not be able to escape his sight within fifty meters; in the end, it is John Desotto... According to the information, he should be just an ordinary person, but Venisa always feels that this person exudes a sarcastic feeling. Although this guy has not made any abnormal moves so far, he intuition tells Venisa that this person must have hidden some secrets, and it is definitely not as simple as it seems.

"Why are they all bugs? It's so strange." The gunsmith asked.

Dark Water turned his head and said, "It should be that after the defense system of the ruins was activated, it scanned some nearby creatures with simple physiological structures and underdeveloped brains, and then applied the images of these creatures to the defense system, generating the mechanical beasts we saw."

"Oh..." the consultant continued: "That means we may encounter rats, earthworms, slugs and other things?"

Winesa shivered all over when she heard these nouns. She felt disgusted just by hearing these few nouns.

"Not necessarily, we are still in a relatively peripheral place." said Unshui: "The defense measures of the ruins are not only targeted by humans, but also take into account animals, non-organisms, or other species higher than humans. The attacks of the imitation mechanical guards are considered to be very low-level defense measures. The closer we get to the internal ‘core’, the more difficult the traps we encounter will be to deal with."

Suyside finally couldn't help it: "Wait, I've wanted to ask, Mr. John, who are you?" He turned around and said seriously: "How could you know so many things? You can not only identify the secret symbols of the Templars, but also know so much about this ruin. Even an expert in studying the Olmek civilization, no one will know the existence of this ruin, right?

The textures on those walls are not translocation word formation games or Fibonacci sequences, and it is impossible for normal people to see any information from it, that is just some lines. Also, I noticed that every time you touch this black metal wall with your hands, the temperature of your palm will change, which can't be hidden from me. Even if my body cannot feel the cold now, I can't accurately grasp the room temperature here. But I can still understand the temperature of the surface of the matter by using the energy level."

Suyside said: "Mr. John, what did the Counter Cross do to you? Or, what did you experience in similar ruins?"

"Oh, let's make everything clear, then there's nothing we can do." The consultant laughed: "Since they have already transferred once, they can't go back on their own. There's no need to pretend."

"What?" Venisa and Suyside said in surprise.

In a few seconds, the explorer John DeSotto was pressed, and his whole body became a black man as if he had fallen into an oil pit. In addition to the backpack on his back, even the clothes on his body turned into black glue-like objects and began to squirm.

When he finally settled, he became a black creature with every inch of skin from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, with a pair of eyes emitting green light, which was exactly the same as the light source in the ruins.
