Ch 13: Bug’!
That was a woman.
A woman whose mere figure alone could make one’s spirit tremble.
She was wearing a white silk nightdress, with a head of jet-black long hair, and her graceful, slender figure was vaguely visible through the nightdress.
But why did Qin Jin-Nian recognize at a glance that she was a Creepling?
Naturally, it was because… her posture at this moment was bizarre to an excessive degree.
She was using her hands and feet, lying on the ground, and at a speed that defied common sense, quickly climbed out of the building.
Perhaps the sudden sunlight made her stunned for a moment, and she subconsciously stopped at the doorway.
And then she saw that the silk nightdress she was wearing naturally drooped, revealing the fair, full, and soft assets…
But at this moment, no one had the mind to look at these, but instead, they were all retreating, their faces ashen.
Qin Jin-Nian saw the woman’s appearance.
And then his pupils slightly contracted.
To be honest, this woman was extremely beautiful, and her facial features were very delicate upon closer inspection.
But her current appearance was a bit frightening.
She was on all fours, with her legs and hands’ joints bent, standing… but her chest and abdomen seemed to be stuck to the ground.
Tilting her head, under her jet-black, messy long hair, half of her face was exposed.
She revealed one eye, but it wasn’t the normal black and white, but a kind of gray. The white part of the eye was a lighter gray, and the pupil area was darker.
On her cheeks, along the meridians, some black-gray veins seemed to appear, giving her originally delicate face a kind of eeriness.
And at her mouth and chin, a vibrant blood red, was shocking to the eye.
Her expression was somewhat dazed as she looked at the sun in the sky, and then inexplicably quickly rotated her head a few times…
Clearly a person, but the first impression… was more like a ‘bug’!
Just this posture alone was enough to make Qin Jin-Nian’s heart skip a beat.
And more importantly, Qin Jin-Nian saw a stream of black mist, almost gushing out, that was as substantial as could be, from her body…
That black mist wrapped around the woman’s body, and almost immediately Qin Jin-Nian thought of the Good Sister from last night… because he also saw similar black mist on the Good Sister’s body.
“Help… help…”
The weak cries for help startled Qin Jin-Nian. He turned his head and saw that not far from the building, the man who had just run out, covering his neck, was lying there.
Blood was gushing out of his neck, and it had already flowed all over the ground.
He was still desperately calling for help, his voice panicked and fearful, filled with despair.
The woman seemed to have finally adapted to the sunlight. She sniffed a few times, and then inexplicably shook her head a few times, and then her gaze locked onto that man.
Immediately, in the horrified gazes of everyone, she quickly crawled towards him on all fours.
That appearance was just like a spider foraging!
The crowd in the distance was terrified and retreated one after another.
The man also realized something. He turned his head and saw the woman crawling towards him eerily, he was scared pale, and kept crawling forward, trying to escape.
But how could his speed be faster than the woman’s?
In the blink of an eye, the woman had arrived nearby, and despair had already appeared in the man’s eyes.
Everyone’s hearts suddenly rose.
Because it was very likely that in the next moment, a scene that was too horrible to behold would be staged in public…
Qin Jin-Nian’s pupils also suddenly contracted. He was hesitating in his heart…
Should he make a move?
But once he made a move, his superpower would inevitably be exposed.
And this was not what Qin Jin-Nian wanted.
But if he didn’t make a move, this person would probably die without a doubt.
But…
Just as he was hesitating, the woman had already leaped up, and in the next moment, she was about to pounce on the man.
Qin Jin-Nian also made up his mind at this moment…
Make a move!
Expose it, then expose it. If he hadn’t seen it, then so be it, but to watch a living person being eaten by a monster in front of him… he couldn’t do it.
But just as Qin Jin-Nian’s mind moved, and he was about to use his superpower.
Suddenly, a ball of thick smoke appeared.
The appearance of this thick smoke was too abrupt, so abrupt that even Qin Jin-Nian’s heart was startled, and then a shadow of a head had already drilled out from under his feet, and immediately retracted.
Then he saw that the ball of smoke rotated in the air, and in the next moment, it suddenly turned into a smoke chain, and with a whooshing sound, it shot towards the woman.
◈◈◈
The sudden smoke chain was extremely fast, but the woman’s body was also flexible to an unbelievable degree. Almost at the moment the smoke chain arrived, she had already reacted, and then her body twisted and folded at an unbelievable angle, and she actually escaped.
In the next moment, she let out a sharp scream like a bug, and pounced forward!
But before she could fully charge, in the next moment, a palm, actually emerged from the smoke, and directly slapped the woman’s head.
Pa!
A crisp sound, and the woman was slapped away like a bug.
She slammed heavily into the ground.
But the woman’s body strength seemed extraordinary, and after a bounce, she was safe and sound on all fours, and jumped more than ten meters away.
Her gray pupils emitted intense violence.
But before she could make another move, the smoke suddenly surged again.
This time, it was from all directions.
It was as if a smoke grenade had been thrown.
The bug-like woman charged left and right, using all fours, just like a frightened cockroach trying to escape.
But in the end, her limbs and body were all confined by the smoke.
After a moment, she was wrapped in smoke like a cocoon, unable to move.
But even so, she was still screaming, her voice sharp like the amplified sound of a bug.
This series of changes, though seemingly slow, were actually very fast.
When the woman was subdued, the crowd finally reacted, and then their gazes all looked in one direction…
A middle-aged man appeared beside the injured man.
That was a middle-aged man of about forty or fifty years old.
He was tall and strong, at least one meter ninety centimeters tall, and his muscles looked full and developed, wearing a brown work shirt that was almost bursting.
His face was rugged, with a full beard, and just looking at him gave people a feeling of ‘toughness’.
He had one hand in his pocket, and a crumpled cigarette was dangling from his mouth, with smoke curling around it… If you looked closely, you could see that the smoke that was wrapped around the woman was extending from the cigarette in his mouth.
An Esper!
Qin Jin-Nian’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the man.
“Captain.”
“Captain.”
Then two figures quickly ran out from the crowd.
One man and one woman, both very young, about twenty years old.
“Call someone over to treat him.”
The middle-aged man ordered the person beside him, his voice hoarse, and very magnetic.
The young man responded with a nod, and turned his head to give a shout. Soon, a white coat ran over from under the small tent, and after immediately dealing with the neck-covering man’s wound, he quickly lifted him onto a stretcher to the medical vehicle not far away.
And a few others went to the woman’s side.
One of the white coats, with a solemn expression, took out something that emitted white light, and walked to the woman’s side.
When he placed the white light object beside the woman, the woman’s screams immediately became even more intense, and she struggled frantically.
But she was locked by the smoke chain and couldn’t break free at all.
In the next moment, Qin Jin-Nian saw the black mist on the woman’s head begin to surge wildly, and on her face, some eerie black lines also appeared, and those black lines appeared as if along her blood vessels, instantly making her face appear with a spiderweb-like crack, and in her gray pupils, a touch of dark light also appeared.
The screams were even more intense.
The white coat trembled slightly, and forcibly brought the white ball of light closer.
But in the next moment…
Pa!
A crisp sound.
The white light in his hand shattered.
It fell to the ground.
It was actually a strange stone.
The white coat was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, he sighed softly and stood up, shaking his head at the middle-aged man with the cigarette and sighed: “The pollution is too serious, it has already reached a deep level, the self-awareness has been completely alienated… there’s no saving her.”
