Chapter 243 Choice
In just a few seconds, several young people had turned into bear-like monsters. Lynch's cane hit the monster's swollen muscles like a rubber tire.
The four monsters had almost blocked the alley, and the alley was immediately filled with the unique stench of beasts. Their sharp claws scraped against the wall, leaving shocking scratches and making a tooth-piercing sound. .
"Ah~~~"
Only then did the middle-aged man Luke realize what had happened. He let out a scream belatedly, his legs became weak and he collapsed on the ground, his pants immediately getting wet.
However, the alley was dark and dark, and the screams not only failed to attract passers-by, but instead attracted the eyes of the four monsters to him.
The saliva dripped, and the red-eyed monsters quickly surrounded him, but by this time Lynch had recovered from the shock and rushed to Luke before the four monsters. He grabbed Luke's arm and twisted his body a few times. Twisting, he swiveled through the gap next to the monster as nimbly as a cat, and in the blink of an eye he emerged from the alley like the wind.
"Ho~~"
There was a suppressed roar behind him, but he never left the alley. Ignoring the surprised looks of passers-by, Lynch took Luke's arm and ran all the way to the road, and jumped into a carriage that was waiting for guests.
"Go along the road first, quickly."
Looking back, the monster seemed to be afraid of the passers-by outside and did not chase him out. Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Why did the monster really appear? The client didn't say anything.
No, she is a monster herself, need she say that? Forget it, at least the man's life was saved for the time being. As long as he tricked him into leading the way home, everything would be fine.
Look at the rescued Luke. His face was pale and he was holding his head in his hands, breathing heavily. His eyes were dull and he kept muttering: "Monsters, there are monsters."
"Hey, man, wake up."
Seeing that the man had fallen into a semi-mad state due to panic, Lynch directly used physical calming methods and slapped him on the face with a crisp sound. It worked as expected, and blood immediately appeared on his pale face.
I just use the most effective method of calming down. It’s not that men and women are different and have no patience with men.
【hehe. 】
"Calm down, don't you know there are monsters? Why are you acting like crazy?"
"Really, does it really exist? I haven't seen it with my own eyes either."
"Nonsense, tsk, it turns out you heard what others said."
Lin Qi felt agitated and realized that this matter was more troublesome than imagined. There must be another story behind this person. It might take some time to understand it, but now that he was soaked in filth, his condition was getting worse and worse. The most lacking thing is time.
Apart from Walker and the others, he was not the first to activate the file, and he was certainly not the first to survive the first round of erosion and enter here. They should not have encountered such trouble.
No, they are all crazy, I'm afraid they are in more trouble, or I am in more trouble than I imagined.
Forget it, time waits for no one, hurry up and trick him home and complete the task quickly.
"Stop trembling, please tell me first... Coachman, where are you going?"
When Lin Qi raised his head, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the environment outside. He said he would keep walking along the main road, but at this time he had turned into a deserted path, and the surrounding area was getting quieter and darker.
Hearing the question, the coachman suddenly let go of the reins and jumped into the air. A cloud of blood mist burst out of his body. Eight spider-like limbs protruded from his back. His head also split to both sides, revealing spider-like mouthparts. The two people in the carriage jumped down.
Ma De, next time choose a taxi with a closed carriage.
Lynch was already numb. He calmly kicked Luke out of the carriage. While flipping out to the other side, he took out his revolver and fired three times. Then he immediately whipped out a multi-section whip and slapped the coachman hard on the face. .
Unexpectedly, the bullet was just a cover, I really missed it on purpose.
boom.
The whip hit the target, causing the coachman to be stunned in the air. He lost his balance and landed next to Lynch, with more than a dozen limbs struggling crazily on the ground. At the same time, Lynch had passed by and rushed towards Luke who was rolling on the ground.
However, just as Lynch passed by the monster, a soft female voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "I'm here to help you, hurry up and complete the task."
Step, the next moment, Lynch has passed the driver, landed next to Luke, and picked him up.
Damn it, it was actually controlled by those swollen monsters. I wonder why these monsters appeared so coincidentally.
Lynch secretly made a world-wide friendly gesture to the coachman, then dragged Luke and quickly ran back to the road. He slapped Luke, who was completely stunned, to the ground. He regained his physical consciousness again and made his face heavy. Now bloody.
"Don't be in a daze here, wake up."
"You, who are you?" Luke finally realized this problem.
"Monster Hunter, stop talking nonsense. Do you still have any family members? Do they know what you just said? It's best not to know. If they also know, the monster will find them soon. Once they find them, they can follow them. Even if the bloodline finds you, you can’t run away.”
"Clara, Nora."
The flustered and confused Luke finally regained some sense and stopped thinking about who Lynch was. He looked around, chose a direction and ran towards home.
It seems to be done.
Lynch looked at Luke's running back from behind, but there was no joy on his face.
It's understandable that they sent a few monsters as backup, but is it necessary to act so hastily? It's as if they are afraid that Lynch can't find their home. If you are really so worried, wouldn't it be safer to act by yourself?
I always feel that something is not normal, and, killing the whole family, do I really want to do this?
Pursing his lips, Lynch hesitated for a few seconds, and finally gritted his teeth, quickly chased after him, and said loudly beside Luke:
"Hurry up, go back and rescue the people first, I will help you."
It's just that going out to drink to drown your sorrows at night, of course you won't go too far away from home. The two hurriedly walked for less than ten minutes and arrived at his apartment building.
Looking from downstairs, a row of windows were dimly lit, full of life, but Lynch had no intention of appreciating these. He followed Luke silently, went straight to the second floor, and rushed into his home.
"Ah."
The screams of the two women came from inside the door, but they stopped immediately.
Lynch breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the three of them are there.
That's easy.
He walked into the room expressionlessly, loaded his pistol with bullets as he walked, and then carefully closed the door.
In the room was a middle-aged woman and a little girl of seven or eight years old, dressed as simply as the furnishings in the room. At this time, the three of them were hugging each other, and Luke stammered to tell them what had just happened.
However, after a few words, he suddenly found that his wife in his arms was trembling, and then found that his wife was staring at his back with a pale face.
Looking back, he realized that the stranger who claimed to be a monster hunter had closed the door, and the black muzzle of the gun was facing the three people.
Two adults and one child, a family of three hugged each other, staring at the cold muzzle with their eyes wide open and not daring to speak, staring blankly at the cold muzzle.
"Sorry, I was entrusted by someone to clean up the insiders. If you want to blame, blame you for knowing too much. For my way out, I can only send you on your way."
As he said, without waiting for the three to scream, Lynch used his fingers to press... Ma De, but couldn't do it.
People who often kill people know that it is not easy to kill someone for the first time, not to mention that the nature of this matter is very special. It is equivalent to killing three other innocent people to save your own life, just like hunting your own kind to fill your stomach.
It may be normal for wild animals, but I am a human. Do I really want to go against my will, break the bottom line of being born as a human, and turn myself into a wild animal?
There was a strong sense of irritability in my chest, and it seemed that a faint red mist was emanating from my body, but Lin Qi did not notice it. He just pursed his lips tightly and pointed the gun at the family of three.
He is not a saint. In comparison, he would rather live on his own, so he has been struggling repeatedly in his heart, and his fingers have exerted force several times.
It's just a group of NPCs. It's not like I haven't killed them in games before.
Even if they look like people, so what, even if they are real people, if people don't work for themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth.
It's so simple to solve the problem, why am I still hesitating, am I still going to cause trouble for myself? I... um? Simple?
Lin Qi frowned in hesitation, realizing that the monster girl had mentioned it casually before leaving just now.
They could do this themselves, and the purpose of handing it over to Lynch was just to please them and put on a good show for them.
The question is, can it really be considered a good show if they come and shoot their whole family? Especially since they helped to facilitate it several times.
Who would expect this result, unless... the real show hasn't started yet, and the real show will start when the gun is fired.
It was a close call.
Lynch finally realized that he almost stepped into a trap. For a moment, he felt endless malice coming from all directions, and his whole body was cold as if he fell into an ice cellar. Then he found that red mist was spreading out of his body, which was a typical sign that the filth in the soul began to become unstable.
It was only one step away from breaking through the defense line.
Those things were so vicious, who knew what would happen if he shot them. Lynch sighed, pressed the muzzle of the gun down, and said in a slow voice:
"Knowing more is not always better, sometimes it will bring disaster. What you said in the bar just now is obviously not a visual description but a declarative narrative, which is more like someone telling you rather than seeing it with your own eyes. So, if you don't want to die, tell me the whole story, maybe you can find a solution."
You said I can refuse, monsters, so please forgive me for refusing, I will find a way out in my own way to show you.
"Yes, when I was drinking in the bar last week, a woman with a black fan asked me if I wanted to change my life." The man looked around the simple home, "I said yes, and she gave me a book to read on the spot."
"What book?"
"The Goddess of the Black Fan", I didn't understand it either, but after reading it, I dreamed of a beautiful place at night. I took Clara and Nora on an outing a few days ago."
Fuck, are people in this world so brave?
