Chapter 128 The Day of Doomsday (Thirty-One)
The man who looked exactly like Hammers was standing in front of the filing cabinet with his back to the door, searching for documents. It was a normal scene, but the other party seemed to be a little impatient, and his figure quickly changed.
The light and shadows were heavy, falling on the other person's head. The originally normal shadow suddenly stretched and deformed, filling up most of the room. From the shape of the body, it looked like a giant spider, but where the spider's legs should be were replaced by things that looked like hands and feet, and the other person's head seemed to make an exhalation motion, and then countless strip-like things emerged from what seemed to be a mouth.
As the shadow spit out these things, countless flesh-colored tentacles appeared silently in the room, surging like insects and wrapping up the opponent's figure.
The saint soon discovered that each of these tentacles seemed to be alive, and she could even see the throbbing veins on them. Each tentacle had densely packed eyes, some open, some closed, and they were all looking at the cabinet intently.
This is not Hammers.
But a monster.
At this moment, fear overwhelmed sadness, and the remaining rationality made the saint swallow the terrified voice back into her throat.
When she saw this scene, the last glimmer of hope of the Saint was shattered, and she realized that the real Hamos was dead. Judging from the way the corpse was being eaten, the other party's claim of not being hungry when she entered the door just now was probably because he had already eaten the corpse.
However, she did not have much time to be sad. Before she realized that the other party seemed to have noticed something and that a dozen eyes of one tentacle had turned over and looked towards the door, the saint quietly moved back to her original seat.
She could feel a gaze falling on her. It was the monster disguised as Hammers looking at her, as if to determine whether she knew something. Her acting skills honed over the years allowed her to pretend that she hadn't noticed anything even at this moment, staring at the table expressionlessly.
After a while, the gaze that was fixed on her was finally withdrawn, and then the other party's voice, which was no different from usual, rang out: "The file has been found."
The saint looked up and saw that the other party was holding a document in his hand. The tentacles she had seen before did not exist and the shadow was normal.
She took the document silently, stood up and left.
As the door closed again, she walked some distance before finally daring to run all the way. She just happened to bump into Anthony, who had been waiting for the documents and came over to check the situation.
Hearing her words and seeing her rare anxiety, Anthony's expression became serious and he rushed over with a gun and several security guards.
Because he had heard from the saint how terrifying the other party was, Anthony did not knock on the door, but kicked it open with a few kicks.
As the door was kicked open, there was no sign of the fake Hamos inside. The saint looked in the direction of the place where the body was hidden as described before, but she did not see Hamos' body, and the water in the cup was emptied.
There was no trace of blood on the beams, as if everything was just her illusion.
The saint said that he must have hidden somewhere else, but they quickly searched other places and did not find Hamos' body. Instead, they met the fake Hamos, who asked them in confusion what they were doing.
The saint could sense that Anthony was still on guard at first, and when he was communicating with Hamos, there was a hint of inquiry in his words, but this fake Hamos answered fluently, and the saint could feel Anthony's increasing relaxation towards the person in front of him.
When asked why he was there, Anthony looked at the saint and said that she seemed to be having an illusion.
It has to be said that this fake Hamos really behaved just like a real person. If she hadn't seen the corpse and the other person's true face with her own eyes, she would probably have thought it was an illusion.
But she knew it wasn't.
Just looking at the expressions of the people around her as they looked at Hammos, the saint knew that even if she spoke now, no one would believe her, so she could only admit it for the time being and pretend that she was affected by hallucinations.
The fake Hamos might still have some doubts, but there were many people present, so the saint only felt the other party's meaningful gaze fall on her, and then quickly retracted it.
Thanks to her acting skills, the saint did not show any signs of abnormality in the following period of time, and finally dispelled the other party's last bit of suspicion.
Later, the saint secretly investigated and even found the diary left by Hamos before his death. Although most of it had been destroyed, from the remaining pages, it was still possible to piece together that Hamos had summoned similar monsters before, but they were all failures and could be easily solved by him.
Presumably, Hammos failed to summon this time as well, but this monster was different from the previous ones, so Hammos was unable to defeat the opponent as he did before, but was killed by the opponent instead.
The reason why the saint was so sure that the other party was not a god but a monster, besides the fact that the other party killed Hamos, there was another important reason.
The saint once heard Hammos say that the god he had seen in the past had golden eyes.
Hammos could not describe what God looked like, but the golden eyes left a deep impression on him, so later he regarded the golden eyes as a symbol of religion.
I don’t know if it’s because of his talent or if those golden eyes really have magic. Hamos has obviously never learned to paint, but the golden eyes he painted make people feel like they are being watched no matter from which angle they look at them.
Because she had heard Hammos mention it many times, the saint was deeply impressed by this characteristic of God, and became more and more certain that even though the monster in front of her had countless eyes, it was not a God.
It now appears that the monster also has the ability to mimic, so it can temporarily transform into Hammers' appearance.
She also secretly searched the base, but did not find any remaining body of Hamos, so she suspected that the other party's body was most likely eaten in such a short time.
After the sadness, the problem also emerged:
Since Hamos's body could not be found, other people would not believe her. After all, this monster was disguised too well, and neither its shadow nor its tentacles had appeared again.
Therefore, she has been isolated and helpless in the base, keeping the secret by herself and thinking fearfully about how to deal with the monster.
After all, this monster is not as unambitious as it seems. The saint suspects that its target is the entire world.
It was not until she discovered the abnormality of Qiao Yuan and others that she realized that these people might be able to help her.
Hearing the saint's words, everyone had different expressions.
From the words of the saint, it can be seen that the existence of this fake Hamos is obviously not like the infected person they had seen before.
The player who urged his companions to find Hamos was stunned. He wanted to be sure as before that this was a crude suspicion, but the one who said this happened to be the Saint, and the truth behind it was much more valuable than Qiao Yuan's.
Although the Saint did not say whether the other party ate anyone else later, he already knew that the female player who left would most likely not come back.
However, although he felt a little guilty, the male player felt more fear and relief at this moment. He was afraid that they were so close to the fake Hamos just now, and he was relieved that he did not accompany the female player, otherwise he would be in great danger now.
Just by listening to the saint's description, the male player already felt his feet going numb. It was hard for him to imagine what it would be like if he faced it alone.
But this relief did not last long, after all, they were still in the base.
The male player knew that he should quickly tell Sun Ji and his group that the leader of this base had actually been replaced by some unknown monster a long time ago, and that it was very dangerous. They had to leave the base as soon as possible...
He subconsciously wanted to leave the room, but when he raised his foot to walk towards the door, he found that he was the only one who moved. The others were still standing there, with no signs of movement, and they didn't even pay much attention to the noise he made when he wanted to leave.
Never mind, that's perfect, he'll leave first...
Qiao Yuan's gaze fell on the Saint Girl: "What exactly is the God summoned by it?"
After hearing what Qiao Yuan said, the male player's hand, which was about to touch the door handle, retracted again, realizing that he had ignored this god because his attention was focused on Hammos.
Yes, according to the saint's words, Hamos summoned this monster, so what did this monster summon?
Sun Ji is guarding there.
The Saint and Qiao Yuan looked at each other, but this time they didn't say anything, instead they made lip movements.
When he saw the saint's lip shape clearly, Qiao Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly.
[Tentacle covered with eyes...trypophobia is a life-or-death performance]
[Fuck, so what on earth is this thing? I would rather it be an infected person now]
[I have sent the description of the Saint to the forum, and some big guys have started to reply. The analysis shows that she does not look like an infected person.]
[So is that female player okay?]
[Oh no, some viewers in the female player's live broadcast room are howling in the forum, saying that the monster is really scary when eating people. The face that looks exactly like Hammos split directly, and just as the saint described, tentacles drilled out from the cracks on the face. Everything happened too fast, and the female player didn't react in time. Most of her flesh had been bitten off. However, the other party didn't seem to like eating the head, and just skipped over it, saying that it was not as delicious as the infected.]
[After hearing this, I am also going to split apart, so humans and infected people are on its menu? 】
[I always feel like what the Saint said seems to be missing something]
[Obviously hiding something]
[So what exactly was the Saint Lady saying with her lips just now? Why did she suddenly stop speaking at this time? I thought her voice was gone again, but it turned out that she was suddenly speaking with lips.]
[It seems to be something like yin or ying... ]
