Chapter 6, Aberrant Beings

In a moment of shock, the rat-man had already pounced to my side, its sharp fangs biting down fiercely, and I could even smell the putrid odor emanating from its body.

A certain instinct within the body seems to be urging oneself to stand still and not move

... ...

What she was prepared to teach Xiao Xiao was to inform him that living in a foreign land requires one to view many things not through the lens of normal reasoning, to learn to discern the disguises of others, and, more importantly, to learn to be ruthless

The sudden and intense sound of gunfire truly took Yang Jia by surprise

After completing these tasks, he then stepped back, let out a sigh of relief, and said with lingering fear, "What on earth is this? It's so frightening!"

At this moment, his brain seemed to turn to mush, yet under the intense state of tension, he still managed to see clearly the things that were rushing towards him with the explosive power of his thoughts

... ...

It possesses muscular tissue that is sinewy and well-defined, with bright red eyes that bulge like light bulbs, and even has a long, slender tail made up of segmented bones, which it sways behind.

Then, when facing the rat person in its true form at close range, can one still maintain the same calmness and precise judgment as before

Then, taking a step sideways, he hid behind Yang Jia

Yang Jia, who was calmly observing Xiao Xiao's reaction and prepared to intervene for a rescue at any moment, suddenly had a look of astonishment on his face

and, in the next moment, took action accordingly

It is as if, when most people encounter terrifying things, their first reaction is not to flee, but rather their legs go weak, and they lose the ability to control themselves

That was a humanoid mouse that appeared as if it had shed its skin

This thing is quite terrifying, as its body is so strong that even bullets cannot deprive it of its ability to move unless they hit a vital point

His eyes were slightly sunken, filled with red blood vessels

Standing to one side, Yang Jia timely reminded, to be precise, she had already spoken before that mouse inside tore through human skin

He is very dangerous

You understand, it is that hole... that penetrates into a person's body

The deformed joints and the bright red skin of the other party, even the slimy trails left behind when it lunged at him, were all observed by him, and he instantly formed a judgment about it

Even doubting whether this beautiful girl is insane, she would kill someone at the slightest disagreement

This old classmate, now a newcomer, has already exhibited numerous aspects that have astonished himself

... ...

However, even upon discovering this, Xiao Xiao did not feel that he could immediately shoot this person.

At the same time that Yang Jia was engulfed in confusion, Xiao Xiao was also calmly staring at the homeless man, from whose body bursts of blood mist erupted, his nerves taut.

Yang Jia held a black dagger in reverse grip, thrusting it forward with a "thud" as it pierced into its head, subsequently slamming it down to the ground

At first glance, it is difficult to discern what it is; however, Xiao Xiao carefully observed and noted the size, shape, as well as the subtle color and texture of the object

Why are you hiding behind me

Does this fellow consider himself a shield

Moreover, this monster is poised to attack, and it could charge right at me at any moment

In a moment of contemplation, Xiao Xiao immediately pulled the trigger, intending to completely kill the monster before it could pounce on his face in its wicked form.

When facing these distorted creatures, any hesitation or fear may potentially harm oneself

This person is slowly adjusting their posture, ready to spring into action and cause harm at any moment

Then hollow out the opponent's internal organs and flesh, parasitize within their body, control their shell, access their memories, and from that point on, there appears to be no change on the surface, yet in essence, it has already become one of the mice

Somewhat helpless, Yang Jia gently raised her hand

In the next moment, the ratman, moving with lightning speed, had already passed through the shadow of the doorframe

Black viscous liquid oozed between the interlaced sharp teeth, and a foul odor assaulted the senses

He took the gun, and without even asking for a reason to shoot, he unhesitatingly pulled the trigger, and without a moment's pause, it seemed as if he intended to empty the gun of its bullets.

At the same time, when Yang Jia's reminder sounded, Xiao Xiao widened his eyes, staring at the monster that had pounced in front of him

As he faced Yang Jia's questioning gaze, Xiao Xiao paused slightly, unable to say anything in time. He simply sidestepped and aimed at the struggling monster, pulling the trigger.

This seems to be normal for a person who is an alcoholic and has poor sleep.

At the same time, for reasons unknown, the moment I saw it, I was overcome by a feeling of fear, disgust, and timidity

Is Yang Jia joking with herself? ... ... The likelihood of this is almost nonexistent; she wouldn't be that bored

Xiao Xiao listened, and a look of shock had already appeared on his face

Therefore, this is not a homeless person; it is a monster hiding under a tattered quilt in a dark corner, ready to devour.

Therefore, after handing over the gun, if Xiao Xiao behaves in a rambling manner, asking questions left and right, it may be somewhat annoying, but it also provides a perfect opportunity to teach him

In the almost suspended time, Xiao Xiao looked at the homeless man and had enough time to carefully observe his appearance, movements, the bedding around him, and the bottle of wine.

Possessing a form of mental assault that instantly subjects individuals to the shock of nausea and the power of fear

Do not turn your back to it

Speed and strength far exceed one's own understanding

He completely does not.

The air was distorted by some invisible force, unexpectedly forming an invisible ripple resembling a door frame, faintly visible, floating to the left side of her body, directly in front of the ratman pouncing.

... ...

He merely squinted his eyes and looked towards Xiao Xiao, who was hiding behind him, with a gaze that carried a hint of scrutiny

However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that his legs are actually slightly bent, half-supporting his body, while his palms rest beside his legs, fingers curled tightly, ready to tear something apart at any moment

That was a human thumb, already half gnawed away

... ...

This is one of the most common monsters in our city, with a danger level that is not very high, yet it is quite tricky

He tightened his grip on the gun, which had only a few bullets left, pressed his lips together, and quickly took a step back to create distance from the monster

Ratman

... ...

... ...

However, due to Xiao Xiao's unfamiliarity with the recoil of firearms, the shots were somewhat exaggeratedly off-target. At a distance of two to three meters, several shots missed, creating a few holes in the wall beside the homeless man, with debris flying everywhere.

Once discovered, immediate action must be taken to eliminate it; otherwise, within just a few days, it could potentially reproduce to ten or even twenty times its population, resulting in widespread disaster

Yang Jia was not joking with herself; she truly led herself to a monster and commanded herself to kill it

Its movements remain consistent with before, yet the speed seems to have slowed down by half a beat, as if some form of kinetic energy was stripped away at the moment of passing through the door frame, though it remains unaware of this.

Bang!

The intense impact of the bullet caused the body of the vagrant to tremble uncontrollably

What on earth is this thing

So, is this homeless man really a homeless man

... ...

The situation is quite chaotic

... ...

However, the eyes of this homeless man are slightly redder than those of others, and due to the lighting conditions, his eye area is shrouded in shadow, allowing one to only see two dimly flickering dark red pupils in the darkness

Suddenly handing a gun to a person who has just awakened and instructing him to shoot an innocent homeless person is something that no one could do, right

What solidified his decision was a piece of black, sticky substance that had fallen beneath the blanket of a homeless man

Is he/she dead or not

When ordinary people encounter them, they often turn and flee due to the sudden feeling of nausea and the shock of horror, allowing the rat people to take the opportunity to attack from behind

However, just as he was caught in his dilemma, he suddenly felt the heavy beating of his heart, and the sudden intense sense of crisis plunged him into a state of mental explosion

However, in a very short period of time, Xiao Xiao overcame this instinctive awareness m.hetushu .com .com

Just after obtaining the gun, he was actually conflicted when faced with Yang Jia's command

The vagrant suddenly let out a strange cry

It is a characteristic that can be easily overlooked at first glance, yet upon closer inspection, it is chilling.

... ...

After Yang Jia finished speaking, he paused slightly before continuing: "I have already explained, so now, isn't it your turn to explain..."

! !

After all, my own teacher taught me this way back in the day

The distorted monsters that breed on the fringes of forgotten cities excel at parasitizing human bodies, continuing to live while donning the shells and identities of their hosts

Why kill this homeless man

In the delicate and pristine palm, a black dagger is held upside down

The monster is not completely dead yet; let's shoot it again first

What is there to hesitate about?

His body, punctured by several gunshot wounds, suddenly tore open at the surface, and a slender, blood-red creature emerged from within, squeaking and rushing towards Xiao Xiao's face

Countless thoughts and pieces of information erupted within his mind like a volcanic explosion, operating in an overloaded manner

Yang Jia quietly looked at Xiao Xiao for a few seconds before slowly speaking

... ...

As this realization dawned upon him, Xiao Xiao immediately noticed the posture of the homeless man; he appeared very frightened, pressing his body tightly against the wall, with his hands and feet trembling.

Confronted by this bright red monster, Xiao Xiao felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and a strong sense of nausea surged within him, nearly making him vomit

However, she still showed no intention of taking action, seemingly wanting to observe how Xiao Xiao would respond to such a sudden change.

... ...

Throughout the entire process, she did not even turn her head
