When the magic flower blooms

The appearance of the masked man is like a sharp horn sounding suddenly, adding a touch of weirdness to the already messy and tense music.

Friend or foe?

No matter Ming Ruoxing or Naga, they all cast vigilant eyes on him.

The mask is cold and frozen, but what kind of truth is hidden under this death-like silent mask?

Curiosity makes people around the corner, but now is not the time to reveal the secret.

As if ordered by the human worm, the zombies in the venue began to shake and run towards the masked man.

They roared unconsciously, stretched out their bloody arms, and bared their sharp white teeth—this kind of momentum alone was enough to frighten some weak-willed people to the ground.

However, the masked man didn't even hesitate, and continued to walk down the steps step by step.

As time passed, the light projected from the height of the roof happened to hit him, reflecting a faint golden light.

The first zombie had already arrived in front of him, followed by the second and third.However, the bloody scene did not happen again.

The masked man seemed to just move his fingers, and the zombies seemed to be pulled out of life suddenly, and they collapsed on the ground like dolls.

Three, five, followed by a large piece.

There was only a muffled crackling sound, occasionally mixed with the ping-pong sound of tables and chairs toppling over. In just a dozen seconds, all the zombies who tried to get close to the masked man fell down in disorder and fell into dead silence.

What a terrifying power this is!

Unknowingly maintaining the posture when he landed, Ming Ruoxing was completely immersed in great shock.

He watched the masked man walking slowly in front of him, and suddenly realized that the man's target was Naga.

At this moment, Naga was surrounded by five human insects, but he still did not forget to pay attention to the man who was slowly walking towards him.

"Are you here to help? Why are you wearing a mask, lest I recognize it?"

The masked man didn't answer any of these questions.

As the footsteps got closer and closer, a cold light flashed in his hand, and suddenly a straight knife nearly one meter long and looking extremely sharp appeared.

"Pot sky?!"

Dazed by the light of the knife, Naga immediately wanted to conjure a weapon in his hand.However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it at all.

Obviously, this is not the pot sky, but the real real world.

It's not a pot of heaven, but it can materialize weapons-this is probably a "miracle" that even the top umbrella species will never be able to do.

So, could this masked man be...

Naga gasped silently, and suddenly heard Ming Ruoxing shouting.

"Be careful behind your back!"

At the same time, a gust of wind blew up in the back of his head.

Naga hurriedly turned his head, only to see another worm jumped down from the roof, and was rushing towards him with its teeth and claws!

Turning into an elbow and armpit, Naga rolled and quickly escaped from the danger zone.

But when he regained his balance, he heard a crack in the air, and countless viscous and smelly liquids splashed in all directions, many of which fell on him.

He stretched out his arms to protect his head, and when he looked up again after a while, he saw a long and twisted spine of a human insect not far away.And the masked man was already standing in front of him, leaning over and grabbing his collar.

Naga is already 1.8 meters tall and tall, and seems to be almost the same as the masked man.However, at this moment, he was picked up easily like a little rabbit, and then he was thrown out!

This was really an unprecedented strange encounter. Naga flew nearly ten meters in the air in a completely dazed state, and landed on Ming Ruoxing's side with great accuracy.

"How are you?!" Ming Ruoxing quickly helped him up and checked him up and down.

"I'm fine. You are the one who almost scared me to death just now!" Naga put his arms around him and kissed him hard on the top of the head.

As soon as they were in shock, the two immediately turned their gazes forward again.

At this moment, the masked man was already surrounded by five worms, and a few more worm cocoons appeared further away.

"...When will this go on like this?!" Naga gritted his teeth.

Knowing that he was about to move again, Ming Ruoxing quickly comforted him.

"I think that masked man can be dealt with by himself, don't make trouble. If you really want to help, why don't you find out where those Chimeras are hiding."

Makes sense.Right now, the only way to solve the root cause is to find those chimeras who are doing bad things secretly and stop them from continuously creating new human bugs.

"So, where the hell are those damn bastards hiding?"

The venue of the auction is not too big, and the interior furnishings are not complicated.In terms of places where people can hide, apart from the vip room and projection room on the second floor, there is only the backstage and the space under the stage.

Especially under the stage, there should be a hidden space with elevators and a series of other settings. You can observe the movement of the venue through the transom, and there is a small door leading directly to the orchestra pit, and then you can jump out of the orchestra pit to enter the venue.

Using this shortcut, those people can completely monitor the situation and sneak out to release new monsters while taking advantage of the chaos.

"Go." Ming Ruoxing nodded towards Naga, "Let's end this."

-

Their guesses were soon confirmed.As soon as he walked near the stage, Naga saw a little bit of faint light through the transom between the sunken orchestra pit and the stage.

"Where to look." Ming Ruoxing pointed to a small camera placed above the orchestra pit, "They should be observing the movement outside through this 'periscope'."

"What should we do now?" Naga asked for his opinion, "Should I fight head-on, or go around the back and catch the turtle in the urn?"

"Neither." Ming Ruoxing shook his head slightly, "They're keeping us in the dark, and we don't have any weapons at hand now, and we'll be finished if we take a cold shot. It's better to sit back and wait."

As he said that, he pressed Naga with one hand, and the two of them ambush behind the seat next to the orchestra pit.

At this moment, behind the two of them, the battle between the masked man and the five worms is still going on.

Speaking of "fighting", perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as unilateral crushing.

The man is so powerful that it is frightening. In front of it, the huge monster seems to be nothing more than a mass of quick-moving rotten meat.

According to Ming Ruoxing's conservative estimate, this crushing battle will be completely over in five or six minutes at most.Sure enough, some people began to lose their temper.

There was movement in the dark orchestra pit.

With an inaudible "squeak", a small door in the corner was gently pushed open.A man wearing a mask stepped out of it.

I saw him holding a metal box in his left hand and a pistol in his right hand. He sneaked out the door, climbed carefully onto the orchestra pit, and began to walk towards the nearest corpse.

Just as he was squatting down next to the corpse, a big hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed his throat.

"Don't move." Naga warned in a low voice, "If you move, you will die."

The man wearing the mask seemed to want to resist, but was pushed down to the ground in an instant.Immediately afterwards, the gun in his hand was also taken away, turned around and pressed against his temple.

"If you don't want to die, tell me honestly, how many of you are there, and where are you hiding?!"

The man in the mask vaguely reported an unreliable number, then pointed to the bottom of the orchestra pit.

Naga asked again: "What is the way to control these zombies and monsters?!"

The man in the mask was silent for a second, then began to shake his head: "No... I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Stop pretending." Naga punched him. "You stayed at the venue and didn't run away. You didn't worry about these monsters hurting you at all. So there must be some way to control them. Be honest!"

"No, really not..."

The man sucked the nosebleed, coughed and explained: "Three hours... Zombies and monsters can only survive for three hours at most. After three hours, the energy in their bodies will be exhausted. What do you think will happen? "

"Dare to ask back!"

The Naga punched him again, knocking him unconscious, and then began to search the body up and down.

"Good stuff." He threw the things he found in a small bag on the waist of the masked man to Ming Ruoxing who was standing on guard.

"Smoke bombs? Are they planning to escape?"

"They don't know how to use it, but we can play with it."

As the two of them walked back to the orchestra pit, Naga opened the safety of the smoke can with one hand, spotted the direction and threw it out quickly.

With a bang, the glass of the small transom window was smashed to pieces, and after a few seconds, a puff of yellow smoke came out of it.

"How long can you hold your breath?" Naga suddenly asked Ming Ruoxing.

"It's longer than you anyway."

"Then compare."

With that said, the two jumped off the orchestra pit.Kicked open the small door leading to the bottom of the stage.Thick smoke came head-on, but the fluctuating pheromones revealed the whereabouts of those who were engulfed by the smoke.

In the chaos, there was a crackling sound of fists and feet, the dislocation of tendons and the crackling sound of bones cracking.After a few minutes, the narrow room gradually quieted down, leaving only a slight sound of rubbing and dragging.

"six people."

Ming Ruoxing and Naga dragged out six unconscious men from the house one after another, and threw them into the orchestra pit.Among them are Nick and George at the negotiating table.

"Now we know why so many people are infected with the zombie fungus."

Ming Ruoxing kicked a man who was still wearing a white chef's costume, "I'm afraid I won't be in a restaurant for a while."

"It's okay, we can do it ourselves anyway, we won't starve to death."

While talking to him, Naga searched for the spoils of these captives, "The whole family is here neatly? Will there be any fish that slipped through the net."

"Who knows."

As soon as they talked here, they heard a muffled sound from the venue outside.When I probed out, I found that the last worm had also been crushed into a puddle of meat by the masked man.

After a long period of hustle and bustle, the auction site, which was strewn with corpses, finally returned to calm again.However, doubts and vigilance are far from over.

The two jumped out of the orchestra pit, came to the front row, and looked at the masked man right in front of them.

At this time, the masked man was covered in splashed blood plasma. He was alone among the piles of corpses, motionless.For some reason, he seemed a little lonely.

"...Well, this big brother."

After deliberating for a while, Naga still chose this strange title, "It seems that you are our friend, thank you in advance."

As he spoke, he took another two steps forward, pointed to his face and gestured: "Well, your mask seems to be a little cracked."

After what he said, Ming Ruoxing also noticed.In the lower left corner of the man's mask, perhaps hit by a stone or something, there was a crack about the size of a fifty-cent coin.

What was exposed under the crack was not the skin of a normal person, but a terrible red and black scar left after burning.

This weird man who can kill a bunch of zombies with a wave of his hand, and can easily throw Naga out, is actually injured?

Two things that were not self-consistent collided together, making people speechless, not knowing where to start.

And the masked man also reached out and touched the crack on the mask, he still didn't say a word, but turned sideways silently, obviously he didn't want to be seen.

For some unknown reason, Naga's heart also tightened.

In order to get rid of this strange feeling, he asked loudly again: "Ah... so what, those zombie strains that you bought, what do you want to do with them? I advise you not to..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Ming Ruoxing suddenly shouted loudly behind him——

"Be careful!!"

At the same moment, Naga noticed a red laser beam shooting from a distance, aiming at his heart.

There was a muffled "bang", and gunfire sounded in the distance.

Naga fell heavily backwards.

In front of his eyes, a frighteningly bright blood flower was blooming from Ming Ruoxing's chest...
