Chapter 181 Trap Mission!
At this time, there were no more rat skeletons in the third underground sewer, not a single one, as if they had become extinct.
After moving forward for a few minutes, they saw a group of people on the ground. There were fifteen people in total sitting together, sitting on the ground motionless.
When they got closer, Colin and others saw that they had already turned into mummies like "Future Colin". They were sitting at a distance from each other, vaguely seeming to have formed some kind of formation.
They hesitated for a moment, and after making sure that the abnormal index had not risen, they went up to check.
And then...
"How is that possible?!"
Screams were heard in the sewer.
Everyone discovered that some of the documents on the "dead person" that appeared here matched those of the other fifteen people present. This made Colin confused and shocked, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, in this way, he would not be the biggest suspect.
As the identity of each corpse was confirmed, the progress of the task on Colin's parchment increased rapidly, making him feel a little uneasy.
"I feel like this is some kind of evil ritual performed by the ancient god that the other party mentioned. The purpose of this ritual is to bring together people from two similar worlds through some means, so that they can be connected like a magnet..." an official guessed horribly.
"That's not right. I don't understand, how do they know it's us? There are only a dozen of us gathered together today..." Qin Chuan frowned.
At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed again:
"Wait, there seems to be another body there!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then a chill arose in their hearts. There were only sixteen people entering at this moment, and according to the situation in this place, there shouldn't be a seventeenth person!
Could it be that someone else has followed in?
Colin looked in the direction the man pointed and saw a body lying on the ground not far away.
Compared to the others, this body was badly mutilated, with only a skeleton left, and all the other hair and clothes were gone.
On the ground next to it, there were some scribbled words that seemed to be left over from his lifetime:
"...Be careful...I have been replaced..."
“Who was replaced?”
Everyone was puzzled, but only Colin looked at the bones in front of him and found them familiar. He could be sure that this was a female. The skeleton looked familiar, but he couldn't tell who it was for a while...
The reason why he was sure it was a female was not because of his medical knowledge, but simply because he recognized her from the many corpses he had seen recently.
Soon, a robot went up to intercept its tissue, and the results were available in a few minutes.
"The deceased is Li Ping. The cause of death is unknown. It is suspected to have happened within the past three years..."
When the robot reported the name and identity, Colin was sure that he did not know him, but five extraordinary personnel including Qin Chuan were surprised.
"Two or three years? What a joke! How could it be her? She is, she is... an eighth-level agent! How could she die here for no reason ?"
Level 8 agent?
A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Colin's mind, and a memory of a woman with a graceful smile on her face, like a stone statue, emerged.
"No, it seems that she came back from a mission a few years ago, and she has been reducing her appearances, using the excuse that she is not in good condition, and has handed over a lot of things to several other people. Even the situation here may be related to the current 'Li Ping'..." Qin Chuan opened his mouth and told some of the previous things.
As he spoke, everyone became more silent.
An eighth-level agent, a big shot who usually only has one in a province, could now be just an imposter?
Who replaced her?
"If it really is an imposter that can attack a Level 8 agent, then we can't handle it anyway. Take these bones with you."
"It just so happens that the person in charge of the Southern Region is here. We can report to him first..."
On the other hand, Colin was becoming increasingly uneasy, but his uneasiness was not because of the so-called level eight personnel, but because of the progress of the mission. Especially when he saw that the progress of the mission had reached 97%, he felt an inexplicable sense of suffocation.
But even though I felt uneasy, I didn't feel anything dangerous...
But at this moment, he suddenly realized something. While everyone's attention was not here, he switched to the "large" parchment and saw that a new task was assigned on it.
[Escape from the sewer area before the investigation mission reaches 100% progress!]
Seeing this task, Colin's pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly realized that this task might have been issued by Ms. Rabbit.
The previous task is likely a trap!
Immediately, taking a look at the people who were still in some kind of shock, Colin knew that it was impossible to persuade them to leave now, and then secretly took out a card from his pocket -
"Fusion Card: Smiling Corpse Mountain".
The next moment, a red light flashed on the robot and an alarm suddenly sounded!
"Warning! The anomaly index is rising sharply! Warning! The anomaly index is rising sharply. The anomaly threat has reached level C and has exceeded the critical value that our personnel can handle!"
Several infrared rays were aimed at a certain place. When everyone looked over there, they saw that the dried flesh and bones of more than a dozen corpses of "them in the future" on the ground had melted and began to gather towards the center.
The process was extremely fast. When I came to my senses, a huge black meat ball with two thick arms let out a shocking scream.
“Please, Geodude!”
Colin secretly gave orders for it to start attacking.
"Run! Keep up!"
Qin Chuan and others gave up the mission without even thinking about it, and let everyone escape quickly.
While retreating, the robot was strafed by machine guns, and rounds of fire poured down on it, smashing this horrible meat ball with its mouth wide open into countless pieces.
It looked like it had caused fatal damage, but after the fragments fell to the ground, they turned into liquid and flowed back into the main body...
However, from the very beginning, they did not expect that ordinary means could be used to deal with it, and the attack was only to deter it.
“┗|｀O′|┛Ah~~”
An angry scream erupted from the pile of corpses. Colin could feel that it seemed a little resentful, but it had to follow the request and keep a distance from the crowd, playing a game of chase.
In the hasty escape, no one noticed the acting problems of the "Smiling Mountain of Corpses" and they all ran for their lives.
Only Colin was a little more relaxed. He simply pushed his wheelchair to maximum speed and sped along the trail left behind.
Every time, the "Smiling Mountain of Corpses" almost caught up with them, but fortunately they managed to escape narrowly every time. Finally, after about ten minutes, everyone returned to the door from which they originally entered.
But when everyone arrived here, they all stopped at the same time. Instead of moving forward, they stared blankly ahead.
In their eyes, the outside of the door was not the toilet they had entered before, but a decaying world covered by dusk. It was also at this moment that Colin saw that the "small" parchment in his hand showed that the recruitment mission had been completed.
The price of completion is...
They all seemed to have been transferred.
