Seeing that the bullet symbolizing death fired from the gun was about to penetrate her chest, William was about to watch his companion die again.
He wanted to rush over and push Ellis away, but at the same time, Captain Lyndon also shot him with unusual cruelty.
He wanted to cry out in despair——
The next second, his shout was stuck in his throat.
Ellis stared dumbly at the spot where the bullet had just hit her, and even reached out to touch it. She felt no sensation, no blood, and no pain. It was as if it was just her hallucination.
William's movements also froze in mid-air, and he stared blankly at the place where the bullet hit... there was nothing.
Ellis blinked, seemingly unable to react, and looked up blankly at the gray-haired Captain Lyndon.
The unsmiling captain raised his lips slightly: "It seems you have no problem."
"No..." William's thoughts were a little confused for a moment, "Captain Linden, what are you..."
"Hahaha."
Captain Linden burst out laughing heartily: "Do you think the gun in this little girl's hand is special?"
Ellis bit his lip lightly, his face looked as unattractive as an overturned paint tray, and there was a vague look of dissatisfaction in his bright blue eyes.
But she didn't say anything. She glared hard at the guy opposite, crossed her arms, and seemed to be sulking.
Captain Lyndon came over, patted Ellis on the shoulder, and softened his tone slightly: "You are vigilant. It seems that Douglas has a good student."
Ellis's eyes widened with surprise and surprise: "Do you know my mentor?"
"certainly."
Captain Linden affirmed: "Your mentor is a respectable historical scholar. We had a very pleasant conversation... I'm sorry about what happened with the previous team."
"No, Captain, you don't need to apologize."
The lady who always presented herself with a strong appearance showed a rare hint of loneliness, but it quickly disappeared.
She smiled, stared at Captain Linden with stern eyes, and returned to her previous calmness: "Captain, why did you suddenly shoot in the first place?"
"That's a long story." Captain Linden sighed, "Did you guys just escape from the hotel? From the looks of you, something must have happened inside. But you guys shouldn't know what's going on outside.
…Things are complicated.”
"To put it simply, some weird things will disguise themselves as humans they come into contact with. There was a monster disguised as a member of the expedition team before. I quickly discovered something was wrong and shot it."
"In order to confirm your identity, this is the fastest way."
When mentioning this matter, Captain Linden's tone was somewhat serious.
Each of the veteran members of the expedition team has experienced a lot with him. He has a clear understanding of each person's personality traits, and any abnormality will cause him to be alert.
But even if he knew that the other party was fake, he was still a little touched when he saw that familiar face melt away in front of him.
William immediately thought of the zombie-like humanoid monster he had encountered wandering in the corridor before.
Could those monsters be the ones Captain Lyndon mentioned? Will they change when they come into contact with other people?
Ellis stared thoughtfully at the gun in Captain Lyndon's hand:
"If I guess correctly, Captain, does your gun have a blessing attached to it? Is it specifically designed to deal with those abnormal things? It doesn't have much effect on ordinary people?"
This can explain why there was no change in her body even though the bullet had just hit her.
"Haha, that's pretty much it." Captain Linden admitted readily, "You suddenly came out of the hotel, of course I have to confirm your authenticity."
Ellis was still a little unhappy, but he did not continue to dwell on this point. After all, the situation in front of him was indeed a special one, and it was not an exaggeration to adopt such a special method.
At this moment, a wailing voice squeezed out of his throat interrupted the conversation between the two.
"I really want to ask... what happened here..." William finally couldn't suppress the complicated thoughts in his heart, scratching his hair, looking confused and confused, "Why do those rotten monsters appear? And why do you?
With these special firearms items?!"
William Dale, a geologist who has always been an ordinary person, does not believe in illusory things. He prefers physics and science.
But everything that happened tonight overturned his world view. The stench seemed to be beyond imagination, like the deepest nightmare of mankind. Just looking at it seemed like a blasphemous rotten existence, which made his whole body suffer a severe shock.
mental impact.
What puzzled him even more was why everyone else he met seemed to respond calmly, whether it was Ellis, Wilson, or even Captain Lyndon.
This made him doubt himself.
Captain Linden smiled bitterly: "This is not something that can be explained simply. In short... we don't know what exactly happened here."
"As for these special weapons."
He raised his eyebrows and raised the gun in his hand: "You should know that Miskatonic University is committed to exploring the truth of the world. When we explore the ruins, we will inevitably encounter some special situations."
"So we will be fully prepared before setting off."
When Captain Lyndon mentioned this, it was as ordinary as saying that you should bring food before going out for a picnic.
The geologist looked dull, slowly digesting the huge shock that this night had brought to him.
"Come with me now."
Captain Linden took them to the truck parked not far from the hotel.
The other members are all here, and everyone is more or less embarrassed. Apparently they have also experienced many not-so-pleasant things.
Every time they saw someone who left their sight and came back, they maintained a high degree of vigilance.
Fortunately, in the end, most of them gathered here.
"Where's Professor Wilson?"
Captain Lyndon noticed someone disappearing.
Both Ellis and William looked more or less sad.
To this day, the geologist still finds it difficult to accept that his new friend left them like this.
But now is not the time to be sentimental.
They were only temporarily out of danger.
Fog still shrouds this ordinary seaport town.
The sea water washed a huge black thing to the edge of the town.
The extremely foul smell impacted the entire town.
