Doomsday Egg

Family members are objects that cannot be lost!

Why couldn't we recognize this fact sooner?Was he bewitched by the superficial idea that "the only important person is his sister"?

"Phil! Phil! Where are you? Answer me! Phil..."

When Kelan came to the perimeter of the warehouse, screaming and searching for Phil, he found in the alleyway leading to the warehouse...

There is a figure lying on the ground.

To put it more precisely, it is a human form covered by a large number of larvae of some kind of insect.

ACT16: molt

Looming long red hair...

Is that Phil?Or was it just Phil's... body?

Or or, just moth-eaten rotten meat...?

Kelan's brain froze for a moment.

The image of Phil that has always only made him feel that he is not manly enough is extremely beautiful at this moment, but unfortunately it only flashed out of his mind and flickered in front of his eyes for a while, then overlapped with the horrible and disgusting picture and was smashed to pieces, deeply It pierced deeply into his chest, making him almost unsteady and took a step back.

"...Go away!"

He cursed in a low voice, and then fired several shots around the figure on the ground--where the bullets hit, the frightened insects were either shaken away, or fled in all directions, and quickly wiped out their "food" "Probably revealed.

The red strands of hair... were tangled around her hands indiscriminately.

Huh?on hand?

Kelan squinted his eyes twice, and leaned over to take a closer look—although the face had been bitten into an ugly shape, the wide structure of the face and the weird blond hair showed that this body did not belong to the man he expected.

But what about the broken red hair wrapped around his hands?

Kelan always felt that it must have something to do with Phil.

"Phil? Where are you?"

While paying attention to the movement around him, he called out.

There was a slight noise from the direction of the warehouse, and Kelan immediately grabbed his gun and rushed over.

It was all black.

Even the emergency power light that was originally hanging on the wall was gone, but his professional sensitivity made him hear people's panting, which seemed to be coming from the pile of abandoned boxes in the middle.

"...Phil?"

Kelan approached suspiciously.

"Don't..." The man said in a voiceless tone, shrank his body a bit, "Don't come here..."

Is that Phil's voice?It seemed to be squeezed out of the top of his throat with extreme fear... Could it be that he couldn't even recognize who he was?

"Phil, it's me, don't be afraid."

Kelan took out a small flashlight from his pocket, and shone the light on the source of the human voice, but when the light shone to an image similar to a human body...

"Don't take pictures... don't look at me! Don't come here! Please don't look!"

Unexpectedly, the other party reacted violently and excessively, and did not know what was on hand and threw it over. It just hit the flashlight in Kelan's hand to the ground, and also knocked Kelan staggered.

"Tsk..."

Since it was made for military use, the small flashlight didn't break because of it. Instead, it rolled a few times on the ground and stopped, and the light beam hit the man's feet.

"Go, go away, don't look, don't look at me!"

"What's going on..."

"I beg you to go away... Kelan... don't look at me, please..."

At this moment, Kelan was sure that the person was Phil, even though he was covering his face and turning his back to him, even though the red curly hair he was most proud of was already sparsely attached to his neck, even though he was screaming hysterically Like a cat facing slaughter, but Crane knew it was his brother, yes...

No matter what he becomes, he must know him.

Thinking of this, Kelan kicked the small flashlight aside, slowly moved behind Phil, and reached out to touch his shoulder.

"Are you planning to hide in it for the rest of your life?"

It's a pity that even if he wanted to be gentle in his heart, he couldn't say any warm words.

He originally intended to comfort the other party, but was misunderstood that he wanted to force the other party to turn around, so the other party waved his hand away vigorously.

At that moment, with the help of the weak light, Kelan saw the sores on Phil's side face, and even his hands... No, probably all over his body...

Was it bitten by those bugs just now?Or, more like...

The result of being corroded by some kind of acid.

"Follow me! Phil, you can't do this, you have to go to the hospital..."

Kelan tried to grab Phil's shoulder again, but this time he was swung away before he could touch it.

He never knew Phil had so much strength.

"I don't need your sympathy! If someone sees me like this, I might as well die! You go, leave me alone, go!"

Phil yelled hoarsely, pushing Kelan backwards.

"……All right."

Kelan made a compromise in his mouth, but his actions were quite the opposite.

He stood there until Phil's agitation calmed down, and sat down on the ground with his back against Phil.

"You..." Phil's body trembled violently, and Kelan's behavior was completely unexpected, "Don't stay here...it's dangerous here..."

"Don't worry, I won't look at you."

"That's not what it means, it's really dangerous, just now..."

"That thing outside? I saw it," Bifiel was flustered, but Kelan was unmoved by the old god, and took out a cigarette case from his arms, "Are you here?"

"ill!"

Phil buried his face in his arms after cursing, and he didn't speak again for a while.

"I thought you wouldn't talk to me anymore..."

"...We are brothers, right?"

Kelan was silent for almost a minute before replying.

"...Yes, brother."

Phil felt an indescribable contradiction in his heart.

Kelan actually turned back to find him, and insisted on staying with him... and said they were brothers?

Does that mean he forgives his betrayal?

He should feel relieved, but his heart hurts so much, sore.

Their relationship was directly settled through the mouth of the other party, which will determine that it is impossible for him to become the same existence as the other party's lover in this life.

Also, even if Kelan doesn't care, he never wants to expose his ruined appearance in front of the man he loves. If he had known this would happen, he would rather not have prayed to heaven that Kelan would come back, and let him keep that share. Cruel memory, retaining her own beauty, completely broke away.

Now, what kind of expression and attitude should he use to treat him?

"What happened just now?"

Kelan took a few puffs of cigarettes in the quiet darkness, and seemed to feel that Phil behind him was slowly calming down, so he asked.

"...After you left, that thing suddenly appeared. I don't know what happened. The whole body of that person is full of bugs..." Phil hesitated for a long time before opening his mouth, because when he mentioned this topic, he would Feeling scared, his body couldn't help shaking, "His saliva and blood seemed to be full of strong acid. He pressed me to the ground, and those liquids dripped on my body..."

Phil couldn't continue speaking as he was talking. The nightmare at that time seemed to strike again, making his throat start to twitch.

"Anyway...you still knocked him down, and your skills haven't regressed."

Kelan didn't know what to say to comfort the other party, so he could only praise him insincerely. In fact, he felt almost regretful in his heart—if he hadn't just left Phil and walked away like that, maybe Phil wouldn't have become like this But he couldn't tell Phil directly. Although Phil's appearance was more feminine, his self-esteem was very high.

But not long after he said "praise", he felt the man behind him visibly froze.

"Down...?" Phil repeated the word, then turned his face slightly, "I didn't... I just pushed him away with all my strength and ran away with my life. Human stuff..."

"You do not……"

After realizing what Phil meant, Kelan also froze.

Due to the silence at the same time, the slight sound in the dark space seemed unusually abrupt.

"Buzz-"

"Buzzing—"

That was the sound of insects flapping their wings, and not just one, not just a few, but many, many...

When... when were they surrounded?

"Boom—"

At this time, there was an abnormal mechanical knocking sound from the rolling shutter door at the entrance.

Looking from their position, only two pairs of legs and feet can be seen with their tips touching the ground. It looks like two people are hitting the half-open rolling door with their bodies.

Ordinary people can enter by squatting down, so obviously, those two are not normal ordinary people, but similar to the... worm sac lying outside.

"Tsk..." Realizing that the current situation is imminent, Kelan immediately turned over and got up, "Where is the light switch?"

"Ah? Oh... over there..." Phil was stunned for a moment before he understood Kelan's meaning. To deal with creatures whose sense of smell is many times better than theirs, it is too disadvantageous for them to see, "I'll go Let's go, but..."

"...I'll kill you!" Kelan immediately understood what Phil was worried about, so he took off his coat and threw it to him, and took out a musket from his backpack, ready to go into battle at any time.

Phil coughed in embarrassment, then covered his head with his coat, and ran quickly towards the light switch, but before he touched the switch, he heard a hissing and whining.

The hissing does not seem to come from humans, but the whining is more like the struggle of insects before they die. It is the sound caused by the incomplete vibration of wings!

What's going on, he couldn't help but turned his head to look at the only bright place - the entrance of the rolling door, and saw that the two humanoid sacs that had been standing upright had fallen to the ground, entangled with something, although the humanoid itself no sound, but those with wings
