Jiminy Red lowered his head, his face hidden in the shadows: "If you are buying clothes, of course."
Ding bell——ding bell——
The crisp ringtone could not dispel the depression, and the uninvited guest with malicious intentions walked into the clothing store. Behind him, Jiminy Red closed the door, raised his head and looked at York behind the counter, and silently made a mouthful: "Go upstairs and take them away.
.”
"You can take a look at these." Jiminy Reid attracted Wei's attention and led him to choose clothes on one side of the window, with his back to York.
York meeting, sneaking upstairs.
"Shh..." He silenced Ivo, who was waiting at the stairs and was about to speak, and lowered his voice to tell him that a bad visitor was coming and everyone should evacuate immediately.
Reid had already made arrangements for Lu Li to stop visiting the house strangely - people on the second floor could avoid the shop downstairs and leave through the backyard. The nearby houses had been cleared, enough for them to hide temporarily.
Ivo sneaked into the living room quietly, woke up the people who were huddled and sleeping in the living room, and led them to quietly leave through the back door. York searched on the second floor, only found the sack, and took it back downstairs.
The store on the first floor was as cold as a cold wave coming in late autumn, and York's skin under his clothes aroused goosebumps. The situation in the store was equally grim. The evil customer's test of Red seemed to be coming to an end, and he could no longer conceal his malice.
.
At this time, York suddenly appeared from behind the evil guest, carrying the makeshift weapon sack he found - and lulled the evil guest into it.
"How did you..." Reid was shocked. He didn't realize that York had actually run back.
"I'm not a coward!"
York, who had lassoed the evil guest, roared as if to vent his emotions, and bumped headlong into the strange creature. The unknown creature should not have been shaken by the fall, but its weak human body still made it fly backwards, knocking over the clock on the side, revealing
The dark crack of a missing board.
Tear--
The sack only briefly trapped the evil guest while he was distracted. The sack slipped from both sides with a clear tearing sound, revealing a gloomy and greedy face.
"It seems that the two of us hiding here are going to die here now." Reid said with a bitter smile, not forgetting that the numbness and weirdness made him think that there were only two people here.
York was obviously stunned for a moment, but it was not because of Red's words, but because he saw the gap behind the evil guest. By some strange coincidence, he suddenly shouted into the gap: "Are you in there? Please help us!"
The evil guest tilted his head, as if he was confused by York's words. The next moment, his face became stiff, and a strange outline appeared under the skin, as if something was trying to come out from under the face.
They all thought that the evil guest was about to break away from his human body and reveal his true body. York, who was sitting on the ground, was so frightened by this strange scene that he almost wet his pants, and kept complaining in his heart that he should not be so brave that he would die.
Tear--
There was a tearing sound that was duller than the sack, and a withered claw emerged from the stiff face of the evil guest.
Reid, who looked tense, was stunned. The shape of the withered claw made him feel...familiar.
The withered claws that drilled out of the face gradually extended, grabbing the evil guest's face like a hook, deforming it, and dragging it into the crack.
A numbing gnawing sound came from the dark crack, and the evil guest's limbs twitched like an electric current. All struggles were ignored by more and more withered claws emerging from the crack, forcibly dragging the evil guest into the crack.
After a burst of intensive tearing sounds, all sounds disappeared from inside.
"They really ate..." York's chest heaved rapidly and he murmured in disbelief.
But don’t these withered claws like rats hiding in the dark only eat lifeless meat? Why——
A withered claw slowly emerged from the crack, suddenly piercing York's doubts, and it slowly grabbed at York.
Reid took a step forward to drag York back, but stopped again. Because the withered claws just lightly touched the sole of York's shoe, hooked a piece of soil-covered meat that had been stained on the sole of the shoe at some time, and retracted into the dark crack.
.
The clock fell aside, and the clothing store completely returned to calm.
Except in the hearts of the two people present.
"Why would they help us?" York raised his head and asked.
Jiminy Reid was also unable to understand and explain. Without answering the question, he stretched out his hand to York: "Where are the others?"
"I've already hid in the house next door." York grabbed Red's hand and stood up, but his legs were still shaking.
"You stay here, I'll call them back." Jiminy Red took a deep breath to calm down and said.
"Do you want the crack to be re-blocked?" York pointed to the crack behind the fallen clock and did not refuse Red's proposal. He needed to take the opportunity to change into a pair of pants.
After a moment of silence, Jiminy Red said that if they can help them once, they can help them a second time, and it is best to keep it.
York thought so too. Compared to the weird and evil people who want to kill them at any time, the withered claws in the cracks are just like a group of cuties.
…
In front of the Noble Bank of Amples, Lu Li was waiting, silently counting the time it would take for Anna to enter.
When the silent count reached the third minute, he put his palm on the holster of his gun and stepped up to the doorstep.
At the same time, Anna's figure emerged in the darkness in front of the door.
"It's difficult to deal with?" Lu Li frowned, and there was a red mark on Anna's white neck.
"Except for being bigger, nothing at all." The rules are on Anna's side. When the huge monster occupying the hall attacked Anna but was warned by the paradise, Anna was able to divide its body unscrupulously. If this monster hadn't abandoned its human body,
It was too big and it wouldn't take long for her to solve it.
"Your guess is right, it may not be a trap." Weird never communicated with Anna or made a sound from the beginning to the end, like a ball of meat without self-awareness.
"Is it solved?" Lu Li asked.
"Not even close." Anna took Lu Li's cold hand and led him into the hall. A gloomy veil shrouded the hall. In addition to the clearly distinguishable outlines of tables and chairs, there were also many pieces of meat cut by Anna scattered around.
Anna led Lu Li around a row of counters and walked to the deepest part of the bank hall. There was a deformed head with a sticky and flowing surface like silt, waiting for salvation to free it.
Lu Li took out the redemption and suddenly threw the counter on his head with a "clucking" sound.
laugh--
The redemption began to wear away the weird remaining heads, invisible smoke rose, and the vaguely pieced together ferocious shapes disappeared in an instant.
More powerful monsters make redemption wear out more slowly, but they can obviously also plunder more humanity.
When it completely dissipated, leaving only the body and head scattered everywhere, the power gained from the redemption poured into Lu Li's body and was clearly felt.
It is almost as good as the humanity brought by ten weirdos.
Anna took advantage of the gap to find the hiding place of the Withered Claws. She used pieces of meat to lure the Withered Claws out and ignored them. They would find a way to leave the hall without even a piece of meat.
Soon, Lu Li and Anna came to the door leading to the basement, or the heavy metal door of the vault.
