Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 81 Mommy, my stomach hurts

"You and this gentleman's...?"

Altaïr asked in disbelief.

"Daughter, sir, daughter."

A helpless smile appeared on Lila's face.

Altaïr has seen many smiles in his life, but even those lunatics killed by him who are the most vicious and have the strongest desire for survival, the negative emotions contained in the despairing smiles shown before death, are not There is no strong emotion in the eyes of the family I saw today.

"How is this going?"

Altaïr felt something invisible pressing against his throat.

"Originally, Rand and I were both employees of the Coal Co., Ltd. At that time, although our salary was not much, we could barely cope with life and bought this house."

"But then we lost our jobs because of air pollution control. Rand's legs look like this, and there is no new place willing to take him..."

"Didn't you find the officials who were arranged by those big shots to be responsible for the follow-up?"

Although he had already guessed the answer in his heart, Altaïr asked with luck.

"They say this is the price of reform."

Mr. Rand, who has been silent all this time, said in a hoarse voice.

There was silence in the room.Altaïr lowered the brim of his hat slightly, as if to hide the expression on his face.After a moment, he broke the silence.

"...Back to our earlier question. Have you noticed guests leaving here at night these days? Or, leaving frequently during daytime business hours?"

Altaïr felt that if he continued to listen to the plight of these poor people, he might not be able to complete the intended investigation goal today.And, even when he listened patiently, it didn't improve their situation one iota.

"Probably not. I'm already old, and I haven't been named many times."

Lila spoke frankly about her situation, and Altaïr could imagine that when facing those guests, she also pulled off her rough clothes with such an expressionless face, revealing her body that was gradually decaying in the same rough time. body, and his husband was sitting outside the thin wooden wall, under the dim light, listening to the heavy breathing of his wife and daughter from the next door, carefully filling a few firewood for the heating of that house...

Lila pushed her daughter who was leaning against her, "Lopei, have you noticed?"

"...It should be gone recently, except for the gentleman who was particularly rude last Monday. It was already the next morning when I woke up. I don't know if he left in the middle."

Lopez rubbed his eyes, "Mom, is that the end of the question? I want to go back and lie down for a while, my stomach hurts, maybe I got hurt..."

"Wait a little longer, just wait a little longer. Mom will boil brown sugar water for you later, and it won't hurt after drinking..." Lila hugged her daughter in her arms, "Mr. Police Officer, what's the problem?" ?"

"What does that gentleman look like? Did you bring a lot of luggage? After answering these questions, you can go back and rest."

Altaïr bent down and brought his face close to the little girl.He controlled his expression, trying to make his expression look kinder.

However, what happened in the next few seconds became Altaïr's nightmare for the next six months.

The little girl named Lopez opened her mouth but didn't make a sound, as if she wanted to say something but didn't say it.

The next second, her expression suddenly became contorted, and her abdomen suddenly swelled up like a balloon, and soon reached the size of a leather ball, supporting her thin body like a wine bag that was about to overflow.

"Get out of here!" Altaïr roared, grabbed Lopez's wrist, threw her out abruptly, and used his body to separate the Rands and Lopez who hadn't recovered yet. middle.

"Goddess, this is—" Before Lila's exclamation landed, a sound like a broken balloon resounded throughout the room. At the same time, there were splashes of blood and flesh, a stench, and something indescribable.

It was a monster cub covered in blood, its face was covered with blood, but Altaïr could judge that it had nothing to do with humans at all, more like an out-of-control monster.Its limbs twisted into strange angles, penetrated Lopez's body, and grabbed her internal organs—no, its hands had already merged with Lopez's intestines, just hanging on Lopez's exposed abdominal cavity .

Before Altaïr could react, the intestine that turned into a monster's arm flew out of Lopez's abdominal cavity, bringing the toothache sound of tearing flesh and Lopez's screams—— She wasn't dead yet, thanks to a little kick back from the monster - wrapped around Altaïr's neck.

Altaïr could have rolled and dodged, but behind him was the frightened Rand couple, and he couldn't avoid it.So, he suddenly stretched out his left hand to put it between his neck and the tentacles, and the tentacles transformed from intestines directly wrapped around his arm, and even picked him up directly, Altaïr felt that his arm was about to be strangled up.

"Mom, my stomach hurts, I'm so scared..." Little Lopez, who still retained her consciousness, trembled like an old gramophone, facing this situation, her big blue eyes were filled with tears.

"Lopé? Lope!" Mr. Rand's voice was finally filled with emotion at this time. He stood up anxiously, but because he forgot that his legs were inconvenient, he rolled into a ball behind the counter in embarrassment.

Altaïr pulled out the revolver from the holster under his armpit with his other hand. The current situation could no longer allow him to change the bullets slowly, so he drew his gun and aimed at Lopez, wanting to empty the revolver as quickly as possible. .Assassins also have certain enhancements in this area. Altaïr tried it once, and it took him less than two seconds to empty six bullets.

However, a man was blocked on the trajectory between him and Lopez.

Liz rushed forward as soon as she found out that something was wrong with her daughter, almost without any thinking or weighing. When faced with a horrible phenomenon that she couldn't understand, this girl was relatively weak among ordinary people. The street girl made an instinctive decision.

She rushed forward, tearing at the monster in the most primitive way, trying to separate it from her daughter, even faster than Altaïr could draw his gun.At the same time, she was still yelling some words of unknown meaning, which seemed to be because the emergency language system failed to work properly, or because she just bit off a piece of meat at the place where the monster and Lopez were connected—— The only thing that can be heard clearly is her daughter's name.

Altaïr hesitated, facing such a scene, even though he was a cold-blooded killer, he couldn't pull the trigger on the poor mother in the first place, smashing her to pieces along with the monster behind her.

Faced with the woman's instinctive action, even the monster was taken aback, and even the strength that restrained Altaïr was a little lighter.But soon, it also reacted instinctively.

The sound of piercing flesh and blood resounded again, and the splattered blood stained the moldy walls red.
