Chapter 77 77: Dark Side
The demonic monster incident in the morning plunged the entire city of Mai into a state of panic.
But because the official response was timely and the emergence of superheroes inspired people, the situation was not that bad.
Go to school when you need to go to school, and go to work when you need to go to work. Then take the time to remember the deceased and praise the heroes.
Except that a large number of tourist locations are blocked, it seems to be no different from before.
At least for Carlos.
He got off work a little late today.
The reason was that it was the contractor’s birthday and he invited everyone to have a meal and drink some wine.
So instead of driving home, Carlos chose to run home.
It was not difficult for him.
He had just easily climbed over a wall, and in the dim light of the evening light, he came face to face with a strange-shaped insect.
To say this is a bug is a bit too much, this thing is bigger than a steamed bun crab!
The insect seemed to glance at him, but didn't pay him any attention. It was as if he saw a tree while walking. Isn't it normal to have trees on the roadside? He even planned to pass directly by his "tree".
Then he was caught off guard and punched into the wall by Carlos, which shattered into black mud.
“What a bad smell.”
For some reason, Carlos was instinctively disgusted with the smell carried by this insect, and this strange insect also gave him a very wrong feeling, which made him take the initiative to attack for the first time.
Looking around with a frown, under the dimly lit street lights, he noticed someone lying on the ground in front of him.
Taking a tissue to wipe his fist, Carlos carefully walked over and confirmed that the person lying down was indeed a person before turning him over.
It is an old white man with his eyes closed and his mouth open, as if he is sleeping.
“Hey, are you okay?”
"Wake up."
After shaking and slapping the face several times, Carlos stood up and was about to call an ambulance for help, when he suddenly saw two patrolmen appear out of nowhere and rushed towards him. He raised his gun.
"Hey hey hey! What are you doing?! Raise your hands up!"
"Turn around and drop the phone!"
Carlos raised his hand in confusion. Start: "I just saw him fainted on the side of the road."
"Do as we say!"
"Put down your phone quickly and get down on the ground!"
Carlos, who didn't want to cause trouble, slowly did as they said.
They rushed up, one cuffed his hands, and the other began to check the unconscious old white man on the ground, but found no wounds.
“What did you do to him?”
Carlos shook his head: "I didn't do anything."
"Take him away and send this person to the hospital for examination first - ah!"
As he spoke, the man who had been hiding in the darkness for a long time The strange insect saw the right time and pounced on it.
Before the patrolman could see anything clearly, his vision was blocked and his neck was strangled.
“Oh shit, what the hell is this!” Another patrolman took out his gun and put it down again, choosing to ride on his fallen and struggling companion, trying to tear the bug that was clinging to his colleague’s head to pieces. Come down.
Carlos saw another strange insect appear and quickly shouted: "Be careful!"
The patrolman couldn't react at all and was hit by it.
At this time, the first patrolman who was hit was unresponsive, just as peaceful as the old white man lying next to him.
Carlos didn't care so much anymore, he easily opened the handcuffs, ran to the still struggling patrolman, and tried to tear the bug off with a little force.
"Aww!!!" A violent scream came out, and blood oozed faintly around the face.
It seems that this thing cannot be torn apart by force, otherwise it may even take off its face. Even Carlos did not dare to kill it, fearing what it would release before or after death, so the patrolman was taken with him. Walk.
Slowly, the patrolman's struggle disappeared, but he was still breathing, but fell into a coma.
Carlos looked around vigilantly. He felt that there were still such strange bugs around him, but strangely, these bugs did not take the initiative to attack him for some unknown reason.
Look at the first patrolman whose face was ridden. At this time, the bug had already come down softly from his face, walked to the side, and within a few steps, it turned into a puddle of black mud, followed by the policeman being ridden on the face. It was the same as when Carlos was beaten to death.
"What is going on?" Carlos was worried. He was a little worried about Dana who was alone at home.
He vaguely heard a car approaching. After confirming that these people were still alive, he quickly fled the scene and killed two passing grotesque bugs.
Running all the way, finally ran back home.
“Dana!”
They rented a typical one-story bungalow, located in the suburbs, so it was not too expensive. Carlos still remembered that Dana once dreamed of owning a house. After thinking about it, he rented it, which was half of Dana's dream come true.
The house was brightly lit, and Carlos came in and called a few times before getting a response.
"Carlos? What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Dana heard Carlos' urgent call and ran over from the room in a hurry, with a nervous look on her face.
“Phew.” Carlos breathed a sigh of relief, and then told Dana what he had just encountered.
“Tell me, does it have anything to do with today’s demon?”
Dana prefers to browse social networks and short videos, so when she heard such a weird thing, she immediately thought of the Beach Devil this morning.
Carlos also heard this from his co-workers while eating. The first thing he thought of at that time was the "monster" who gave him power.
This is the existence that best fits the image of the devil in his heart.
But it was also he who made himself aware of his past sins and became aware of the need to atone for them.
So he didn't know whether the monster was a demon or the extraordinary existence that others said.
"Brother, don't worry about me. Look, I'm carrying the gun you gave me." Dana saw Carlos' worry about her, so she patted the gun bag and comforted her, "In the worst case, I'll buy another football helmet." , carry it with you, wear it if something goes wrong, and snap if you see any suspicious bugs, it’s absolutely safe!”
Carlos was not reassured, he planned to search the surrounding area first to see those strange bugs! the scope of spread.
After telling Dana, Carlos changed into black clothes, escaped into the night, and explored the general scope of the community, but found nothing.
However, when he was about to expand the scope of his search, Dana sent him several videos.
When I clicked on it, I saw that other people had taken pictures of bugs riding on faces. The popularity was already quite high. Many people questioned whether it was a fake and thought it was an old trick of online marketing before the release of a certain horror film. , every time it looks like the real thing, don’t let them be fooled this time.
Also pinned to the top is a quote from the person who posted the video.
【Oh my god, he completely forgot that he was unconscious for almost half an hour after an insect crawled on his face! No matter what I said, he didn’t believe it until I showed him the video. 】
"Can you forget things? Forgot that you were attacked by bugs?" Carlos started searching the city for [sudden coma] and found that since last night, many people had complained that they suddenly fell into a coma for unknown reasons.
Based on his own personal experience, Carlos had a terrifying suspicion.
So he dialed Old Kurt’s phone number.
"I would like to ask you to help me investigate something."
"Go to the hospital to find patients who claim to be suddenly comatose and ask them to do a CT scan."
"Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Carlos did not put all his hope in old Kurt. He opened the map and headed towards a nearby hospital.
Hope his guess is wrong.
Otherwise, it will be a disaster for the entire city.
Everyone, please be careful when eating mangosteen. I accidentally swallowed a big core, and now I feel weird
