But I still think this place is scary.
There was no living being to be seen anywhere, and the ground was littered with scraps of clothing.
It was as if... everyone was eaten by something out of thin air, leaving only a few pieces of clothing behind.
Perhaps, that is the truth. It is possible that those monsters and terrifying things that I encountered before, if Senior Lin Yi had not come to save me, I might have been eaten alive just like the owners of these pieces of clothing.
It’s even more terrifying to think about it this way!
Calm down, I need to calm down.
Yotsuya Miko took a deep breath and tried hard to recall happy things, diverting the thought process in her mind from how she was eaten by the monster.
The girl looked around, at the streets and buildings around her, to make sure there were no monsters lurking.
There was no problem at the moment. Although those scary things were more ferocious, they were much less in number than what he usually encountered. During the time that he and Senior Lin Yi stayed on this street, no monsters appeared. Generally speaking, it was still very safe.
So, we can take a breath for now, right?
"What we are tracking now is probably a special forces team that entered this city after the disaster. They may have been wiped out by monsters. The further we move forward, the more likely we are to find their bodies, and the more likely we are to encounter the monsters that killed them. That thing is very powerful, so Jianzi, you have to be extra careful. Now it seems that you are the only one who can see those things, so always pay attention to your surroundings, because you never know when that thing will jump out."
Then Lin Yi turned around and reminded Jianzi with a serious expression, causing the girl's mood, which had been slightly eased by the calmness around her, to become intense again.
It turned out that Senior Lin Yi was taking the initiative to take her to find the murderous monster?
As expected, there is no chance to catch my breath QAQ...
Chapter 5: What a misconception~
tread--
Slowly, he stepped into the messy shopping mall in front of him.
Bright lights shone on the shelves of the mall, and in the empty aisles, many shopping carts were parked. These shopping carts were more or less loaded with some goods, but the people who originally pushed the carts to shop were nowhere to be found.
Dead silence.
It was still dead silent, no different from the streets outside.
Jianzi unconsciously clutched her skirt again, not caring about the possibility of exposing herself. Her heart was pounding as she followed Lin Yi carefully.
Compared with what I encountered before, this experience is completely on a different level.
The terrible things I encountered in the past, although they looked scary, were at least manageable. Moreover, even though I knew that I would likely encounter extremely dangerous things if I was discovered, at least I had not witnessed anything irreversible happen with my own eyes.
And now what I am facing...
“This is the fifth one.”
Lin Yi squatted down, looked at the bulletproof vest on the fallen shelf in front of him, picked it up, and let Jianzi see the blood stains remaining on the clothes.
"The monster that was following this special forces team was very fast. It took them no more than two minutes to retreat from the road into the mall, but in such a short time, the team had already suffered three casualties. Well, it seems that they were killed without any ability to resist. Does that mean that if there were no special bullets that target spirits, it would be impossible to even harm those things?"
Lin Yi opened his bulletproof vest while muttering to himself, and the next moment he saw several bloody scratches on the inside of the vest.
"Before his body disappeared, the deceased tried to take off his bulletproof vest. Well, these finger marks were not caused by excessive force, but rather by the loss of some of his flesh and blood. Did the monster that killed them kill them by dissolving their flesh and blood and melting them into pulp alive?"
Lin Yi continued to analyze the situation while muttering to himself, and every word he said was just loud enough for Jianzi to hear.
Really, seriously, Senior Lin Yi.
Could you please not say it?
Aren't we likely to encounter the monster that killed these people at any time? Why are you so interested in analyzing the things left behind by the dead? Dissolving people alive into pulp...hiss...this kind of thing...
Take a deep breath, and another deep breath.
Jianzi tried his best to calm himself down, avoid losing control of his emotions, and continued to observe the situation around him.
Here, I am the only one who can see those scary monsters, so no matter how scared or timid I am, I must be serious now, observe, and look for those things that I don't want to see.
Where will it be?
The girl blinked, her golden eyes flickering across different parts of the mall.
I didn't see anything strange and everything seemed normal.
Jianzi breathed a sigh of relief, although those terrible things might appear again at any time, but at least he hadn't seen them yet. At least now, he could still breathe a sigh of relief.
"Let's go, let's keep going forward."
Lin Yi, who had completed the investigation, stood up and walked straight forward while talking.
"Um, oh..."
He responded in a low voice, then followed Lin Yi.
Senior Lin Yi, what exactly are you looking for?
Jian Zi noticed that when Lin Yi was investigating these broken bulletproof vests, he was obviously looking for something, but he didn't find it, so he kept going deeper. To be honest, the girl was a little curious about what he was looking for by actively approaching danger.
【■——】
"Hey?"
At that moment, when Jianzi followed Lin Yi through the cold food area of the mall, she suddenly felt as if she heard some sound.
Turning around and looking towards the source of the sound, all I saw were messy shelves, a cart lying on the ground, and a doll sitting on the ground facing me.
They all look like ordinary products, nothing worth paying attention to.
Is it just my own illusion?
Jianzi blinked, turned around without paying much attention and was about to continue following Lin Yi, but found that the other party had stopped, took off the automatic rifle on his back, and stood there looking at him with a calm expression.
"What did you find?"
Lin Yi looked at Jianzi and asked.
"Ah, nothing, probably just an illusion."
The girl shook her head and said that she really didn't think she had heard anything just now.
"We are now in a deserted city where all the people have disappeared. It is very likely that all the people in the city have been killed by invisible monsters. We don't know the nature of these monsters. We have only confirmed through analysis and two battles that they can be damaged and destroyed by special anti-spiritual bullets, and that only you can see them. Therefore, when facing something so deadly, there is no such thing as an illusion. If you sense something is wrong, you must take action and not leave any chance to the enemy. Do you understand?"
Lin Yi warned the girl word by word very seriously, stepped forward and looked in the direction where he had just seen Zi looking.
There really seems to be nothing special about it. Well, that doll didn't seem to be sitting there just now, right?
Lin Yi, who was walking in front, observed the surrounding situation very carefully. He could confirm that the doll was not here when he passed through this aisle.
Moreover, from this angle, its eyes are looking at Jianzi?
Bang bang bang!
He raised the gun in his hand and fired three consecutive shots, blowing the doll's head and body apart the next moment.
From Lin Yi's perspective, the doll just exploded in a very ordinary way.
But in Jianzi's vision, what she saw was a large amount of dirty blood bursting out from the doll's body, and rotten flesh was scattered all over the ground, constantly squirming and wailing, as if there was a human face growing on each piece of flesh.
Jianzi: "..."
For some time to come, I may not be able to hold toys like dolls with peace of mind.
"From your expression, it seems that there is something wrong with this doll. Does that mean these things have camouflage functions? Okay, let's go. Don't make this mistake again."
Lin Yi nodded slightly, looked at the bad expression on Jianzi's face, nodded slightly, and then continued to walk forward.
"Yes, I, I understand, Senior."
Some of the shocked Jianzi took a deep breath to calm himself down, then trotted to catch up with Lin Yi, and the two continued to walk forward in the mall.
Chapter 6: The girl sheds tears~
The third teammate hasn't come over to them yet, and doesn't seem to want to join them.
In the vision of teammate coordinates, Lin Yi looked at the coordinates of the teammate who had moved slightly but did not get closer at all, and was even a little farther away, and couldn't help but start thinking about the current situation.
Did we encounter some special situation so we couldn't meet up in time?
Or is the other party a lone ranger who doesn't like to cooperate?
No matter what the situation is, at least for now, Lin Yi has no intention of changing his action plan.
"What flavor of juice do you like?"
Lin Yi, who had already crossed most of the mall and reached the beverage and snack area, suddenly turned around and looked at Jianzi and asked.
"Oh, no, no need, right?"
Jianzi, who was in a tense and defensive state, was stunned by Lin Yi's question. He shook his head and subconsciously indicated that he didn't need it.
In this state, how could she possibly eat or drink anything? All she could think about was how to end this nightmare and how to leave this place. She really had no mood to pay attention to anything else.
"Oh, whatever."
Then the next moment, Lin Yi grabbed a bottle of rock sugar juice and threw it directly towards Jianzi.
"Hey, hey, hey?"
The startled girl took the drink in a panic. While she was stunned, Lin Yi had already picked up a bottle of sugar-free cola, unscrewed the cap and took a big gulp on the spot.
"When people are too nervous, their observation ability may decline. Relax your mind and focus your attention instead of being nervous. Doing so will make it difficult to react in time when facing danger, and may even lead to misjudging the situation."
"We haven't seen any traces of the special forces along the way. They must have taken a different route, or they were all killed on the spot without leaving any clothes. Well, it should be the former. Let's try this way."
Lin Yi said this with a relaxed smile and took the lead to walk to the other side of the mall.
This Senior Lin Yi never seems to panic no matter what situation he encounters.
Looking at Lin Yi's carefree look, Jianzi felt that his nervousness was slightly relieved.
Speaking of which, Senior Lin Yi had said before that he had carried out two savior missions and encountered cultists who summoned monsters, as well as mechanical soldiers from the doomsday world. Well, although it was not very clear, it felt a bit like the content of the cartoons that Kyousuke had watched, but he could really feel that this senior was very powerful, and there was a feeling that made people feel relieved.
Just now, whether it was saving himself or the two attacks afterwards, he seemed to be able to judge where those things were by looking at the direction with his eyes. It felt incredible, and he felt a little bit like he was seen through.
While sighing silently in his heart, Jianzi unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of the juice provided by Lin Yi.
"Oh... it's too sweet..."
It's so sweet that it's almost disgusting. What kind of juice is this?
"That's rock sugar and snow pear juice. It's the sweetest juice I've ever had. I didn't expect to see something like this in this world. I heard that if a girl drinks this kind of juice every day, she'll gain a lot of weight in less than a month."
Lin Yi turned around and looked at Jianzi's distressed expression, revealing a smile that showed he had played a successful prank.
"Wow, this drink..."
Although he was not prone to gaining weight, Jianzi, who had deeply experienced the childish and evil side of this senior who had seemed so reliable just now, could not help but let out a cry of protest.
There really is something strange about this man!
The girl, who was a little angry, didn't notice that because of Lin Yi's little prank, the tension in her heart was mostly relieved. Her uneasy mood had basically recovered a lot, and she was able to look at the surrounding things and be alert to the surrounding environment more normally.
Um, what is this?
I felt a hint of cold air coming from the front.
Lin Yi and Jianzi walked through the clothing area, made a circle and came to the back of the food area. Here, the door of the cold storage of the shopping mall supermarket was open, and they could see the meat and various items placed in the warehouse.
The smell of blood also became stronger at this moment.
"It smells very fresh blood. It won't be long. The thing may still be nearby. I'll leave it to you to observe it."
Lin Yi's expression turned serious, holding a gun, and walked beside Jianzi.
Next, you may encounter the enemy at any time.
We encountered a real killer monster who had killed several special forces soldiers.
"Ugh..."
The girl became nervous again, made a somewhat uneasy sound, and took a step forward.
The cold storage in front became clear at this moment.
Jianzi saw the pork hanging on the rack and the bloody handprints left on the pork.
The pungent smell of blood was becoming stronger and stronger, so strong that it made people want to vomit. It was an unbearable stench.
The freezer seemed to have been open for some time, so that the pork near the door had been partially thawed, and the thawed part had clear bullet marks and splattered dried blood. Lin Yi could tell that the freezer had been open for about three or four hours, but Jianzi couldn't tell. She just approached carefully, and her steps were almost the same as moving.
As they got closer, they could see a tattered bulletproof vest lying on the ground on the side of the ice storage, and an automatic rifle that had been torn into two pieces.
