Volume 12 [Creation! The Death of the Terminator!] Chapter 49: Brain Eater and Crystal Skull
Frequent earthquakes have begun to cause panic to the public. In scientific terms, this is: half of the faults under the earth's crust have begun to move frequently, which is a precursor to the collapse of the entire Pacific plate... In San Francisco, San Andreas The area where Sri Lankan fault activity is most likely to occur has experienced a total of 16 earthquakes with a magnitude of 5.0 or above, killing a total of 136 people.
In the face of this fact, although the officials are still shouting at the top of their lungs, it has undoubtedly made the base's tickets easier to sell.
So far, the number of tickets sold in the base has reached or even exceeded 50,000, and the first airship formation test flight in the base has also undergone a complete rehearsal and inspection, in order to give those who bought the tickets a certain degree of confidence. . Thousands of passengers were even invited to watch the test ride.
The scene at that time was indeed shocking. The length of an airship reached an astonishing 318 meters, a diameter of 60 meters, a dead weight of 300 tons, and a volume of 300,000 cubic meters. And the airship that is the core of the formation is as long as 500 meters!
However, the number of people carried by ordinary airships has now reached 5,000, while the number of core airships has been reduced to 1,000. This is mainly because the members who can ride on the core airship are all people of status, and they must pay attention to comfort, and the role of the core airship is to transport most of the food, machinery, etc. Even so, the expected number of passengers in an airship formation can reach about 35,000.
Think about it in your mind, a whole seven of these behemoths are parked together, and the distance between the airships must reach 150 meters, which covers an area comparable to that of a medium-sized park!
Because they cannot be too ostentatious, the take-off height of the airship formation is only limited to fifty meters. Even so, the thirty tentacle-like automatic rolling rope ladders hanging from each airship are densely packed and overwhelming, and there are those The shocking roar of the humming motor deeply shocked these visitors!
Those who were invited to watch the ceremony today. Naturally, they were all people of high status. When the huge lifting force generated by the airship stretched the steel cable of the gondola straight, they began to visit various places under the invitation of the guide. Of course, the worst one was the first. We started with a tour of the large cabins, then looked at the ordinary cabins, then visited the tours one by one, and finally the so-called VIP boxes.
If you arrive, take these VIPs directly to their customized rooms. Then there is no doubt about it. They will definitely be picky in their minds after being cultivated by the taste of the presidential suite, but humans are animals that can think and compare. Visited those with limited water supply. There is a shared toilet and shower room behind the large room.
These VIPs deeply felt that the value for money was great, and more importantly, they also witnessed that the core airship could disconnect from the sub-airship next to it at any time. This undoubtedly enhances their sense of security and even their sense of superiority - a powerful feeling that they can control the life and death of other people in their hands.
So needless to say, after this viewing party, there was once again a frenzy of buying tickets. A large amount of human and material resources began to be crazily concentrated on this abandoned factory in the suburbs of London. Needless to say, the rest was just nearby. The rent of rental houses suddenly increased by 1300%, you can see how crazy these people are.

The red light "beep beep" shines. Sheyan picked up the phone smoothly. This specially made phone had been encrypted by Doctor Octopus, so there was no risk of being eavesdropped. Dr. X's slightly tired but gentle voice came from the other side.
"Two things, Mr. Sailor. We now find that boarding is a big problem. Now the number of people holding our tickets has surged to 200,000. Because of the sudden increase in wealth and manpower, our productivity has once again increased It is estimated that the transportation capacity of fourteen formations can be improved, allowing nearly 500,000 people to survive, but the premise is---can you confirm that the specific time and location at that moment are accurate? If it happened earlier, it would likely lead to a large number of innocent deaths.”
Fang Senyan said:
"I'm sure, Professor Help the bastards who want to correct history.”
Magneto interrupted and said seriously:
"Sailor. Those guys are just withdrawn. They are not executioners or butchers. The aircraft built by Hulk and Batman can only carry a few hundred people. After they saw our behavior, they restrained themselves a lot. I guess they won't Come to destroy, because I think they definitely don’t want hundreds of people to live alone on the earth. Maybe the war between us will continue, but not now.”
"As for the guys you talked about who came from the same place as you and corrected history, they should have rushed to China now. A solid and reliable news confirmed that China has indeed copied thousands of Arks! It has nothing to do with the difficulties we have here. Compared with the hard nut to crack, they all seem to have chosen distant China. The US government has also taken a breath, so it has begun to slowly contact us and consider preliminary cooperation methods. If the negotiation is successful, we will even consider assisting. The government quickly established a production line for airships.”
"I understand." Sheyan said. "I am certain that the time of the disaster has been postponed. December 21, 2012 is not the end of the world, but will begin three hundred hours later. The disaster initially occurred in the Gulf of California, and then in San Andreas. "The fault area."
"New York will have a two-hour buffer time... When the earthquake that lasts for half an hour and exceeds magnitude 10 is over, the survivors will have another three hours to survive. Then they will The last memory of life will be fixed on the terrifying tsunami wave that almost covered the sky..."
"Understood." Although Professor X had heard Fang Senyan's description more than once, his voice was still painful and choked. "How's it going over there? Do you need help?"
"Everything goes well." When Sheyan said this, he looked at the kurut next to him. This guy who looked like a fat black kid was chewing on the old Beijing chicken roll, and the red tomato juice was smeared all over the corners of his mouth. , and his other hand was pressed against the hard wall.
It can be seen that under the influence of the Kurut Fruit's superpower, the sand on the wall rustles down. The fortifications that are said to be able to prevent nuclear weapons attack are vulnerable to the attack of the two-headed Cyclops' superpower. Kulutguo took another bite of the chicken roll, and then impatiently picked up the decomposed sediment with his hands. Then he easily broke the steel bars inside. As his rough behavior deepened, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded.
But Sheyan was still very calm, because in this secret place that seemed to be a resort, there were a total of eighty-seven guards armed to the teeth. The alarm was sounded for them, but these guards were now incapacitated. The freedom to speak was tightly tied up by No. 7 using the technique used by the natives of Dubai to tie up prey.
finally. The safe, which was encased in six meters of reinforced concrete, was dug out. It is said that if you open it illegally from the front, the items inside will be forcibly damaged. Therefore, Fang Sheyan, who had not obtained the opening password, started from the back of the safe with an attitude of trusting others. Easily exploded its anus.
There were many things in the safe, but Sheyan's eyes finally rested on a seemingly ordinary gem. He turned on his flashlight and shone it directly. Suddenly, I saw that the gem had gone through a lot of refraction, and finally a strange, erect, pointed pupil appeared. After shaking the flashlight slightly, I found that the light reflected by the pupil turned out to be like fire! !
"It seems we have found the rightful owner again." Zi couldn't help but sigh after seeing this scene: "Wow, it's so beautiful."
She praised with a woman/dragon's unique admiration for sparkling things like jewelry:
"The pupils of Quetzalcoatl, even after being forcibly pried off, still retain their majestic qualities. This is a legendary work of art that cannot be counterfeited. At least it cannot be imitated with modern craftsmanship. The U.S. Government They hid it deep inside and refused to put it on display. I remember that in the real world, the group finally made sacrifices in exchange for the opportunity to see the true appearance of this treasure. Unexpectedly, the government suddenly changed its mind. "
Old Charlie also strode in at this time, followed by Ramtas, holding an unremarkable box in his hand:
"I have already checked, and the golden sacrificial dagger is also inside. Sure enough, it was shipped together with the pupil of Quetzalcoatl. In addition, the fang mask of the Indian chief found in San Antonio has exceeded the requirements of the big collector. Do we still need to find the crystal skull?"
Fang Sheyan said curiously:
"Why not? Space is always very generous to those who can complete the task perfectly, not to mention this is a job without competitors------at least in America, right------ --Where is the address of the Crystal Skull? Well, it's in the hands of a private collector. This guy's name is really long: Jakaya Mrishao Hassan Mwini Kikwete. We have to hurry. Try to get this thing done before the FBI finds him. It's not a good thing to always go against the government."
Seeing Zi and Wuge looking at the "pupil of Quetzalcoatl" with eager eyes, Sheyan decisively canceled his plan to keep this thing. But at this time, Doctor Octopus called and asked about one thing:
"Sailor, I remember you once told me that the final geological evolution of the end of the world in 2012 is that the Cape of Good Hope in Africa becomes the highest peak in the world, while the overall change in the United States is not much, right?"
"Yes." Sheyan said: "The American plate is like a biscuit, snapped into two pieces, but most of it is still intact."
"Very good." Doctor Octopus said excitedly: "The resources we have now are really amazing, but there are too many things we want to preserve, so I plan to get a few in the inland areas where the plate is the most stable. As long as one of the waterproof underground warehouses can be kept, it will save us at least several years and decades of struggle."
"Good idea!" Sheyan said: "I think you can ask the government directly about this. Those nuclear shelters can be easily modified to have extremely good waterproof effects. Human civilization can only be preserved as much as possible, huh? , I still have something to do, so I’ll go ahead.”
***
Jakaya Mrishao Hassan Mwini Kikwete----------Mr Jakaya's home is in the suburbs of Detroit. It is already a very remote place, but Blue The white-painted villa still looks quite delicate amid the green shade, and the lawn at the door has been carefully trimmed, and the blazing sunshine has gradually faded away at four o'clock in the afternoon. It is very much in the style of the Impressionist oil painters of the 19th century.
-------If there weren't a few corpses on the lawn and a few police cars rushing up randomly.
"Press the brake, put it in neutral, turn off the engine, and pull the handbrake." Sheyan completed these actions in one breath, and then jumped down from the top. It seemed that his actions were not much different from usual, but he showed the kind of strict vigilance. The idea is already ready to come out.
The reef was already in full swing at this time, blocking the way. Sanzai. In front of Wu Ge, Sheyan formed the first echelon of two guys who could be resurrected, Ramtas and No. 7.
Fang Senyan walked to the grass, first made a cursory observation and then came to a conclusion:
"It seems that the FBI is still a little more efficient than us. But they seem to have encountered a troublesome thing this time."
As Sheyan said this, he walked to the police car and immediately confirmed his conclusion. Because there was also a corpse in the driver's seat. The corpse's expression was distorted, and it looked like it was scared to death. The vehicle was in reverse gear, and the steering wheel was rotated several times, but the police no longer had the strength to pull it up. The handbrake is on.
Next, Sheyan bent down and inspected the corpse. It could be seen that after his fingers came into contact with the exposed skin of the corpse, something like roots seemed to have penetrated:
"The identity of the deceased is... a first-level agent. The gun has traces of being fired, which means that the guy we are going to face next is probably immune to bullet damage. Hey, the cause of this guy's death, It turned out to be..."
Sheyan had a look of shock on his face. He stood up and kicked the corpse on the head. The head immediately shattered. However, the inside of the skull was actually pale white bones, mucus, bloodshot, and completely empty. Even the spinal cord in the spine has disappeared!
The person’s brain, spinal cord. It was so weird that it seemed like it had been emptied out, and everything was sucked clean!
"What is this? A variant of a vampire? A brain-eating monster? A mind flayer?" Sheyan frowned.
At this time, No. 7 spit out his lizard-like red and long tongue and called out "ahhhh" to Reef a few times. Reef immediately said:
"He said he just felt a very special aura leaving."
Sheyan thought for a while and said:
"Come with me Zi, protect Sanzi from Reef, and Kulutguo go to the high slope next to you, where you have a wide view, and you can monitor the enemy's movements from a high position at any time. Wuge, prepare some spells that can control the enemy. We are here to find the Crystal Skull, not to kill people. Remember, we must be within the reach of God’s hand on the reef at all times.”
Following Fang Senyan's arrangement, everyone in the team immediately started to operate as accurately as gears. Fang Senyan was still clearing the way outside. He walked into the main entrance of the villa, and Zi accompanied him and walked side by side. I don't know why, although the atmosphere here is gloomy and strange, Zi's heart suddenly became happy, and there was an indescribable hope in her heart, that is, she could always walk side by side with the man next to her. .
Fang Sheyan opened the main door of the villa.
Zi looked very casual at this time, but the ten slender fingertips were shining with arcs of light that could sting people's eyes. Although she was mentally prepared, she was still slightly shocked by the tragic sight she saw. Vision frowned.
Because there were too many dead people in the living room, and all of them had distorted faces. Although most of the dead were police officers and FBI men in black suits, there were also servants, old people, and even some A little girl! !
There is no doubt that the cause of their death is exactly the same. Both the brain and spine are missing. Judging from the scene, the numerous bullet marks on the wall also indicate that there was a fierce gun battle here. However, it seems that the bullets are indeed ineffective, or they were shot. It doesn’t hit, or it’s useless even if it hits.
The two of them walked to the second floor with tightness on the outside and inside, and found that there was still no one here except the corpse. Sheyan's eyes slid over a family photo next to him, and then he said with certainty:
"It seems that all the family members died in the villa, except for Mr. Jakaya we are looking for."
Zi knew that Fang Senyan had always had a photographic memory, so she trusted Fang Senyan's judgment and searched the inside and outside of the villa again. After confirming that the murderer had gone, a safe signal was sent for everyone to come in. At the same time, No. 7 and Ramtas went out to be on guard.
Although the entire team seemed to have returned to its normal appearance at this time, the level of caution was something that Mogansha never had before his death. Everyone was walking on thin ice, fearing to suffer the severe pain of breaking a limb again.
Of course, a careful search followed. The purpose of everyone coming here was not to solve the case or redress the injustice, but to get the crystal skull and leave immediately. During the search. Sanzai suddenly found a hospital paper bag from a drawer, pulled it out and looked at a few pictures, and was stunned. I hurriedly called everyone to see it.
It turned out that inside the paper bag was a film taken by the doctor using CT technology, with the patient's name on it. It turned out to be Jakaya.
These CT films looked fine at first, almost like normal people, but later on, the patient’s skull slowly became weird on the CT films, slowly showing surprising morphological features. In a CT scan taken a few days ago, the shadow of the skull shown was exactly the same as the crystal skull they were looking for!
"What is going on?" Everyone was even more surprised at the crystal skull carved by the Mayans. It actually grew into Jakaya's head instead of a human skull! This kind of mysterious thing would be really unbelievable if you didn't see it with your own eyes.
The crystal skull is a sacred object carved by the Mayans themselves. From a mystical perspective, it is equivalent to a magic weapon, so its characteristics are very obvious compared with modern people. In addition, there are also the previous Jia Kaya's film is used as a reference, so it is easy to make a judgment.
Fang Senyan pondered for a while and said:
"It is said that the crystal skulls contain mysterious power. There are also rumors that link the crystal skulls with the end of the world in 2012. There are legends that there are thirteen crystal skulls in total, which hide information about the origin and death of human beings and can help mankind unlock the secret of life in the universe. Mystery. People have to find all the skulls before December 21, 2012. That is the end of the 5126-year cycle of the Mayan calendar. Unless the 13 skulls are gathered together and placed in the correct position, the earth will fly away. Axis. Only in that way can the supernatural power of the skull save the earth. It is possible that the transformation of Jakaya is related to this legend."
Reef said in disbelief:
"What about these dead people? Is it Jakaya who committed the murder? Hell, his son and granddaughter are lying downstairs!"
Fang Sheyan said calmly:
"I noticed during the inspection that the people living in the villa died at least five hours earlier than the FBI people. If I am right, Jakaya should no longer be classified as a human being. , so of course he will not be bound by human emotions. What I am curious about now is, what was this guy doing here after eating everyone in the villa before leaving quickly? "
Sanzai immediately said:
"I asked Kulutguo to come look for it."
Under the influence of the little two-headed Cyclops' superpower, almost no secret room can escape the investigation of its superpower -- unless there is nothing related to earth around the secret room. So soon, a hidden compartment the size of a wardrobe was discovered. There was a mirror inside, which was extremely sad and almost covered with blood. There was also a diary with extremely scrawled writing next to it.
"The Crystal Skull has become different. I can clearly detect this."
"Is the end of the world really coming?"
"It's resonating, yes, it's resonating! Is the legend of the thirteen skulls true?"
"I can no longer stare into its eyes. Legend has it that the skull was used by the Mayans to hypnotize patients during operations. It seems that something is calling it."
"My head hurts!! I have to look at it, I'm sick of this damn pain, ahhhhh!"
"Why do I think this damn crystal skull looks delicious??"
"Am I right? In the illusion just now, after burning the crystal skull red and throwing it into the water, it can be broken into powder, and then... the priest will gain eternal life!"
"Okay, I have to take a gamble... Anyway, I also have terminal lymphoma and only have three months to live."
"The black crystal skull, I saw it. Is that the power that has been calling me? Is that the voice that has been echoing in my heart?"
"Great God, I will leave your image to worship day and night, and I will open my body and mind to you at the same time!
“Master……..summons……..provides nutrition…………”
***
Looking at this series of scrawled notes, Sheyan and the others fully realized that if a person goes crazy for life, he can do anything. Stirring the crystal skull into powder and then eating it in the belly to seek immortality sounds ridiculous, but this Jakaya did it meticulously.
At the same time, everyone concluded that the skull was definitely not made of crystal. But the rest is an unknown substance. This thing breaks into powder and is eaten, and then slowly turns Jakaya's skull into "crystal". It sounds like the work of a special parasite.
"It looks like this guy was also induced by a black crystal skull." Fang Senyan judged:
"It's very possible that everything this guy did was done under psychological suggestion and psychological induction, and then he completely became a puppet and was controlled. There is no other way. Now we can only catch up and chop off its head before we can negotiate. , Wu Ge, can you track its movements?”
Wuge girl said in a clear voice:
"It should be possible. This guy is full of rotten, dirty, bloody and dark smell. Only a Madoka tree spirit can clearly find this person."
As the mist song girl sang, a small tree began to pull out its roots, and then the branches began to grow rapidly, and then bent into the shape of a centaur, the difference is that the skin is tender green. And the upper half of the human body is like a little girl, happily walking in front of the role of a hound.
The Madoka tree spirit found the road when Jakaya escaped without much effort. Perhaps the trampled grass and leaves were not obvious, but the corpses of animals and humans left from time to time along the way were clearly placed in front of everyone.
The common point of these corpses is that the head is like a hollow box when stepped on, and only the empty shell is left.
Under the leadership of the tree spirit. A group of people also chose a straight line to track, and fortunately they were not ordinary people, otherwise, the difficulties along the way would have been exhausted.
After crossing the not-so-high-nor-precipitous mountains, what appeared in front of them was a vast wilderness.
The Western Wilderness.
A railway stretched across the land like a zipper, and since there was a railway, it naturally needed to be maintained. Therefore, there were many settlements in the wilderness for the maintenance sections. Because these settlements had strong consumption power and stable jobs, they gradually formed administrative units similar to towns.
When Fang Senyan and his companions were led by the tree spirit into this maintenance section, they found that the situation here was extremely tragic. To be precise, they were completely slaughtering humans like food!
At least more than half of the people died tragically on the streets! ! The previous corpses were not clear because they had died for too long. Now with fresh corpses as a reference, it can be clearly seen that they died after being pierced into the body by sharp objects as thick as wires.
The whole air was filled with an indescribable fishy smell! It was like the smell of boiling brains, which was more disgusting than the smell of blood.
Fang Senyan was still walking at the front of the team. Suddenly, the window of the building in front of him broke, and a black shadow flew out with a crash. This black shadow was knocked away by Zi's force barrier, but a closer look revealed that it was a dying human.
Of course, he was hit hard by Zi and died on the spot.
Then several corpses were thrown out from the window. It was hard to tell the real from the fake for a while, and everyone could only retreat. Unexpectedly, one of them bounced up just after landing!
From the surface of his body, a large number of radiating blood vessels were ejected with a "chi la" sound. Each blood vessel was blue, as thick as an electric wire, at least two or three meters long, and it was undulating in the air like in the water flow, moving wrigglingly, indescribably disgusting and indescribably weird.
Fang Senyan was not afraid at all. He shouted and kicked the monster in the chest. His leg was too fast, so many blood vessels were dancing wildly, and he was kicked out with the monster before he could get close.
After the monster suffered a loss, its chest was sunken and it let out a shrill cry, but it did not repent and continued to pounce, but there was a cunning light in its eyes. Fang Senyan was originally pressing him step by step. Unexpectedly, the two "corpses" next to him suddenly jumped up. They tightly clamped Fang Senyan's legs.
At this time, it can be seen that the backs of the two corpses were connected and pierced by the monster's "vessels". They became puppets in disguise.
Fang Senyan had a blank expression on his face. As soon as he exerted force with his feet, the arm bones of the two corpses immediately made a crisp "snap" sound. However, his movements were obviously slower because of this, and the monster let out a strange cry, and a thick blue blood vessel had already pierced Fang Senyan's calf!
The end of the blood vessel looked very soft, but like the mouthparts of a mosquito, it could easily penetrate into the skin and muscles! It was about to drill into it after a while of wriggling, and greedily absorbed blood at the same time.
But at this time, it can be clearly seen that the Sun Stairs, which felt that its "territory" was invaded, immediately became furious, and its roots entangled violently towards the blue blood vessels that pierced its body! After the two met, the blood vessel only lasted for two or three seconds. Unable to bear the entanglement of the roots, it shrank back with great force!
Then it can be clearly seen that the blood vessel that sucked Fang Senyan's blood quickly turned red. The blood vessel was originally dark green, but it changed rapidly like a red-hot steel bar, and then began to split differently, extending in a network. It twitched and trembled slightly with the heartbeat, and then expanded rapidly! After expanding to the limit, it will naturally burn, explode, and self-destruct!
Fang Senyan's move undoubtedly hurt this guy's vitality!
It let out a shrill scream. After falling to the ground, it rolled over and landed on both hands, like a gorilla or monkey running. It quickly ran away, and it can be clearly seen that when this guy was severely injured, there was indeed light in his head, illuminating the crystal skull inside.
This guy ran away incredibly fast, bouncing repeatedly in an instant and disappearing in the distance. Fang Senyan had no intention of chasing him, but looked to the side and said:
"Did you find anything?"
Old Charlie came out from the shelter nearby and said seriously:
"Yes, Freddy is best at illusions and mental systems. He can feel it. He feels that something has been affecting that guy's way of thinking and brain waves, causing him to deviate from the normal path of life, such as drinking Sprinkling crystal skull powder and other weird incidents are really not things that normal people would do. "
At this time, Sanzai also held up a few photos he had just taken and said:
"Come and see the difference!"
This photo is of the monster that was just taken. Basically, it can be confirmed that it is Mr. Jakaya from the way it is dressed. The cruelty and coldness it showed in the battle were vividly captured. However, when he finally escaped, you could see that his back had changed. His hands and feet continued to lengthen, making it easier for him to run, while his belly bulged out strangely like someone dying of hunger. He was also deliberately protected, as if there was something inside. Something unacceptable. "
Looking at this photo, Sheyan said thoughtfully:
"Interesting, this is the first time I have seen a puppet controlled by a crystal skull like Jakaya. But judging from his performance, could it be said that after Jakaya absorbed so much brain and spinal cord, only one tenth of it was Use it for yourself, and keep the remaining half in your belly as an offering to the holder of the black crystal skull?"
At this point, Fang Senyan paused, frowned and said:
"I don't know why, but I always have the illusion that I will dig deeper and deeper if I continue to investigate further. Once the true identity of the black crystal skull holder is exposed, it is very likely to give me an unexpected surprise."
Zi frowned and said:
"You mean it will lead to side quests? But we don't need this now."
"No." Sheyan said seriously: "Just now, the Sun Staircase had a direct contact with that guy's blood vessel thorn. At that moment, I don't know why, but I had a vague feeling of déjà vu, feeling that I should be I have met the owner of the black crystal skull, but the contact with him must be very shallow, otherwise, I definitely shouldn’t be unable to recall it.” {Piao Tian Literature www.PiaoTian.com Thank you for your support.
