The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 1377 The Call of the Stars ([-])
(This paragraph is very gram! Watch carefully!)
"Where am I?"

Xu Shangqi stood up clutching his dizzy head. Just as he regained his sensory perception, he smelled a foul smell. A black shadow rushed past the window where the light came from. Xu Shangqi instinctively trembled. , looking towards the window.

The window closest to him is very big, it should be the window of a corner store, and the exquisitely colored window frame does not provide any solid sense of security at all. Just as Xu Shangqi turned his head away, there was a "crash", and the glass shattered to the ground. A few thick tentacles came from above.

Xu Shangqi, who had just stood up and hadn't stood still, exerted strength with his left foot, and dodged to the side awkwardly and stiffly, but was still hit on the shoulder by the tentacles that got in last.

"what!!!"

Xu Shangqi uttered a scream, but he had no time to think about it at all. Taking advantage of the dim light from the window, he ran towards the half-broken counter, grabbed the chair that had fallen on the ground, and ran towards the half-broken counter. The tentacles were thrown.

The chair hit the end of the tentacle, but it did not cause any damage at all. With the sound of mucus flowing, a large round mouth appeared outside the window. Climb inside the store.

What frightened Xu Shangqi the most was that after the tentacles and the big mouth had crawled into the store, their back half was not a bloated worm with a bunch of legs, but a human upper body.

The tentacles protruded from the abdominal cavity of a middle-aged woman, and the completely dry and rotten intestines could be clearly seen around the big mouth, and the terrible stench was emanating from it.

When the monster moved forward, the remaining corpse was dragged along the ground like that. The skin on the chest, neck and entire face was completely peeled off due to rot and friction, leaving only yellow bones stained with blood, like a sledge for plowing, Plowed furrow after furrow in slime and dust.

Xu Shangqi stared at the monster dumbfounded. After being stunned for less than a second, he let out a scream that was not human, and then fled towards the side door next to him.

His brain was blank, he had no room for rational thinking, and he couldn't even express his emotions. At this moment, he only had one thought, and that was——run away!

In his previous life, Xu Shangqi was a movie lover. Whether it was Hollywood movies or literary films, he liked to watch them very much. Like many movie lovers, during a certain period of time, he was particularly obsessed with horror and bloody movies.

Whether it's a zombie movie full of blood on the screen, or a ghost movie that creates psychological horror through suspenseful lenses, Xu Shangqi can always get some stimulation from various shocks and nausea.

It was this kind of stimulation that made him crazily obsessed with this kind of film during that time, and he searched for resources on the Internet to find the uncensored version to feast on.

Xu Shangqi didn't remember where he had read some kind of theory. It seemed to say that human beings would be interested in horror movies, in fact, it was precisely because fear would trigger human's self-preservation instinct.

Witnessing bloody and terrifying scenes will make the human brain think that it is in danger, and then there will be a surge of adrenaline, which can make the human heart beat faster and the nerves are excited.

On the other hand, human reason will tell them that the scene they are in is safe, so these neurostimulants that should be used for self-protection will be turned into an improvement of sensory experience, thus bringing some kind of Sensual pleasure.

Therefore, many horror movie lovers are actually not courageous, or if they are too courageous, they will not experience this excitement.

Xu Shangqi is one of them. He is not a very courageous person at all, he is even timid in some aspects, but when faced with horror movies, he is afraid and wants to watch them, and loves to play.

It can be seen that watching a horror movie and being in a horror scene are completely different things. Without the aid of drugs, the horror scenes and irritating smells that have never been seen will only temporarily stop the brain from working, because they cannot understand , so it cannot be analyzed.

So in real life, when faced with a sudden disaster, the first reaction of many people is not to run, but to stare blankly. This is not because they like to watch the excitement, but because the brain needs time to process and Digestion.

Xu Shangqi was exactly like that, he had already rushed out of the side door of the shop.He still didn't realize what happened, and he didn't even remember how he came here.

He stood at the door, gasping for breath in confusion, and even glanced back at the monster in the shop. He staggered forward a couple of steps, not knowing what to do on the street when the night fell.

He stood by the lamppost next to the street, looking through the broken window at the tentacle monster crawling over the counter. Vomit desperately.

But he didn't eat much, and he had almost digested it a long time ago. He retched and only vomited acid water, which made his throat hurt like a fire.

Convulsed and vomited for a long time, Xu Shangqi barely stood up with the help of the street lamp. After regaining his sanity, he knew that he had to leave here quickly, or he might be the next one to be dragged on the ground.

Xu Shangqi looked around for a while, but couldn't see anything. At this moment, he finally remembered the method he had learned in the Shenspear Bureau. He transported Qi to his eyes, and he could barely see the surrounding situation clearly.

The street was empty, only the wreckage of vehicles and fragments of buildings scattered on the ground, judging from the rotting smell floating in the air, there might be human corpses mixed with these fragments.

In addition to the monster that just got into the store, there were also movements in the two houses at the end of the street. Xu Shangqi suspected that it might be a similar monster, but after he discovered this, the first thing he did was to turn around. head away.

Relying on his night vision ability, Xu Shangqi walked towards a more open place, but the sky failed, and there were fierce fighting sounds from the two buildings at the end of the street.

A red light flashed, followed by a scream. Xu Shangqi turned to look there. His eyes widened, and he saw a figure coming out of the broken window. It was Ben Riley. He seemed to be trapped by something. Throwing things out.

Xu Shangqi gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, took a few deep breaths, tried hard to dispel the panic in his heart, and ran over there.

With Qi on his legs, he walked like flying, and quickly crossed the dilapidated street, ran to Riley's side, and helped him up. As soon as his hand touched Riley's skin, he found a glass shard inserted into his body. on his back.

But Riley didn't care about the pain at all, he pointed to the window and said, "Quick, go save Wanda."

Xu Shangqi supported Riley to look into the building, the red light in the window was getting brighter and brighter, and then Wanda fell to the corner of the wall as if hit by something, lying on the ground, following closely It was Jarvis' roar.

Xu Shangqi tiptoed on the spot, looked at Riley and said, "Don't run around, just wait here, I'll be right back!"

After finishing speaking, he ran towards the window that Riley had just shattered. He didn't care about avoiding the shards of glass all over the floor. He put his head in his hands, bowed and raised his legs, and jumped directly into the narrow window frame.

After entering, he didn't turn his head to see what was opposite Wanda, but grabbed Miss Witch's wrist.Pull her to the window.

Before Wanda could react, she was staggered by Xu Shangqi. She screamed, and then heard Xu Shangqi's roar.

"What are you doing in a daze! Run!"

"but I……"

Xu Shangqi involuntarily grabbed Wanda from behind. After transporting Qi to his arms, he grabbed Wanda's waist and threw the slender Miss Witch out of the window. Then he and Jarvis jumped out one after another. out the window and ran back into the street.

Wanda was thrown on the ground and rolled a few times. Riley rushed up to help her up. She was a little dazed by the fall. She turned to look at Xu Shangqi, wanting to say something, but Xu Shangqi ran away. In the front, then turned back and roared at everyone:
"Any human being with a brain and a sane mind will only choose to do one thing at this time, and that is to fuck-run!!!"

People have a herd mentality, especially when they are in a state of confusion, they will instinctively follow the same kind with the loudest voice, Xu Shang shouted and ran away, and the few others who didn't react would follow him.

And this action probably saved their lives, because the monster that rushed out of the window was different from the one Xu Shangqi saw in the shop window.

In the faint light, a monster with upright legs rushed out from the broken window, but what supported it to walk were not legs at all, but tentacles like sea anemones bursting out from half of its head.

It may be that the human brain gave this monster higher intelligence. Its desire to attack is much stronger than the monster grown from the lower body that Xu Shangqi saw, and its attack methods are much more numerous.

The sarcoma and the tentacles that entangled half of the human corpse worked in a division of labor. One half of the tentacles stuck to the wall and moved forward quickly alternately, while the other half of the tentacles kept whipping forward, interfering with the movement of the prey.

"Wanda, put away your magic!" Xu Shangqi turned back and shouted: "Don't make any light!!"

Gritting her teeth while running, Wanda said helplessly, "I...I can't control it!"

"Then run quickly!"

Fortunately, they are all agile heroes. Although they are not all good at speed, they are not slow either.

Xu Shangqi can use footwork, Riley is Spider-Man, so it goes without saying that he can sprint at full speed, Wanda can use magic, and Jarvis himself is a master of mechanics. Leave that monster behind.

After rushing out of the main street, they came to a crossroads. Several people stopped and panted heavily. Wanda held her chest and panted, and said, "Why are we running? I think I can..."

"You can be a fart!" Xu Shangqi also gasped and said, "If you can beat it, you won't be thrown against the wall!"

"Me." Wanda choked for a moment, and then explained in a low voice, "I was attacked..."

"Damn it, what's going on?" Riley put his hands on his temples, and slowly knelt down on the ground and said, "My spider sensor has been beeping, and it's very loud, it's so loud that I can't hear it. Clear your words."

Riley's expression was very painful. He tried his best to open his eyes wide and looked at the dilapidated city around him. Xu Shangqi put his hands on his hips, kept calming his breath, and said, "There is no doubt that we have crossed over and came to a damn A potentially apocalyptic universe."

"Traveled?" Riley groaned in pain, but still gritted his teeth and said, "You mean we traveled through the universe?"

"more or less."

"But why is it like this here?"

"how could I know."

Xu Shangqi replied absent-mindedly. He looked around, then glanced at several people, and said, "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Wanda asked him, frowning.

"Find a place where there are no monsters and hide."

Wanda's eyes widened. She looked at Xu Shangqi in disbelief and said, "The world is going to be destroyed, and you still want to hide?!"

"It's because the world is going to be destroyed that I want to hide! You don't really think we can save the world, do you?"

"But, but we have to save..."

"We have to save ourselves first!"

Wanda opened her mouth to say something, but Xu Shangqi interrupted her by stretching out a hand, and said, "I know what you want to do, you want to plunge into the city center where there are the most monsters, and knock down all the monsters there. Then find a group of culprits at the very center, eliminate them all, and successfully save the world.”

"But from my experience, during this process, the entire team will die one after another, and they will die miserably, including but not limited to being overwhelmed by bugs, swallowed by monsters, and cut off by the gate, because The survivors fought among themselves and were shot into a sieve..."

Wanda's face became paler and paler, the way she looked at Xu Shangqi had completely changed, she opened her mouth wide and said, "My God, what have you been through..."

"Anyway, listen to me now, quickly find a place to hide, what's the matter, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning!"

Wanda was a little shaken, and Riley's painful voice became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Wanda, please, you are here because of me, I have to bring you all back safely!"
