mother of all races

It is already difficult to describe the weirdness and horror of that man in words.

Obviously there was still a metal door, but Bryce subconsciously protected Alisa and took a step back.

In this short moment, Bryce suddenly had a feeling of spiritual connection with Alyssa-he can now fully understand why his beloved girl is so frightened.

Is Robert really still human?

Obviously, Robert's human face and body can still be seen on the screen, but any normal person can see that there is something evil and distorted wriggling under the thin human skin.

"We don't want things to get out of hand, anyway, Vice Captain Alyssa, Medical Officer Bryce, you will always be our important companions... Oh, yes, and Dr. Lin Xi... Yes, you are here too..."

Robert suddenly turned his head and made a sniffing motion like an animal.

"Please open the door. The work ahead is very important - and we need your cooperation very much. Believe me, you will soon find that we have no malicious intentions. Captain Taran has pointed us to a bright path The road, the only thing we need to do is follow his instructions... We will evolve, we will transform into a higher level of life..."

"Sounds like something Taran would say."

Bryce let out a disgusted sarcasm as Robert's voice grew high and feverish.

"You will know that everything I say is true."

Robert looked at the camera, and the corners of his mouth were grinning almost below his ears. Such a "smile" was enough for the other three people in the medical room to clearly see the two jaw needles inside his mouth.

"Open the door and meet your fate—"

However, before Robert could finish his words, the monitoring screen suddenly went black, and the monitoring information was interrupted.

There were some strange and vague voices faintly coming from outside the door.

It sounds like someone is constantly scratching the rough metal plate with their long fingernails.

Lin Xi's hair stood on end, and he was about to shoot directly at the innocent surveillance screen.

"What was that thing in Robert's mouth just now?"

And Bryce was no better than him, he held his gun and stared at the darkened screen and asked in horror.

"Family...I heard Taran say so..."

Alisa's face was bloodless, and her eyes were dark and deep because of too much panic. She answered Bryce with an unreal tone.

"That's what Talan did. He sacrificed the people on the ship to the evil god, and...then these people..."

Bryce tried to restore the monitoring line outside the medical room, but no matter how many times he tried, the words that popped up on his personal terminal were always the damn "restricted authority".

"What exactly is going on?!"

Bryce became very agitated.

And at this time...

"Bryce?"

Alisa suddenly stared at the metal hatch, and tremblingly opened her mouth.

"what happened?"

"Medical room... Are there any other entrances and exits?"

Her face became paler and paler.

Bryce could even smell the fear-filled smell directly from Alisa.

"No, I don't think there are extra entrances and exits here."

Bryce said.

Alyssa turned her head sideways, her eyes wide open, and she looked at him.

"Then do we have spare weapons?"

She asked.

"Only the pulse gun in the hands of me and Lin Xi, what's wrong—"

As if in response to Bryce's question, there was a sudden heavy knocking sound from outside the metal door of the medical room.

"Open the door - open the door - bitch I told you to open the door -"

Robert's wild beast-like howl suddenly sounded.

"Open the door ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—"

Immediately afterwards, several electronic buttons sounded.

Alisa pulled Bryce and Lin Xi back several steps suddenly.

"Damn it—Talan has the highest level of management of the ship. If Robert asked him, he could—"

He can easily open any door he wants to open.

The second half of the sentence was stuck in her throat by Alisa.

Before she could finish speaking, the nightmarish voice had already sounded.

"drop--"

It was the unlocking sound of a metal door.

Robert had apparently unlocked the metal door of the medical room from the outside world.

"Oh fine."

Bryce frowned and muttered, and then he and Lin Xi raised their pulse guns at the door at the same time.

They didn't doubt at all that they were about to face the scariest thing they had ever seen in their life.

……

The metal door slowly slid open to both sides.

……

……

"Zizi..."

There seemed to be some wet sound passing through the door.

The metal door is completely open.

Bryce and Lin Xi froze, they stayed there like stones.The finger on the trigger did not move at all.

They stood motionless while holding their guns. The muzzles of their guns were always pointed at the door vigilantly, and a few drops of sweat slowly dripped from their foreheads.

Confusion and fear spread in their eyes, and Alyssa expressed their only thoughts at this moment instead of the brothers.

"……What exactly is going on?"

Robert was not outside the door of the medical room.

No one in robes was there after the metal door was fully flung open.

No shapeshifting monsters.

There is no family of the so-called Taran.

Nothing at all.

Only the bright red blood on the ground can prove that what they saw before was not an illusion produced under pressure.

But for that long, time seemed to have stopped.

Robert disappeared just like that—disappeared so suddenly that he didn't have time to make any sound.

But it's more frightening than fighting a monster after opening a door.

Lin Xi stared at the bloodstains on the ground without blinking, and he could hear Bryce swallowing a mouthful of dry saliva beside him.

The development of the matter was completely unexpected, but Lin Xi and Bryce could only look at each other, not knowing how to continue to deal with it.

After all, Robert was scary enough.

But something that can take such Robert away in such a short period of time will obviously only be more terrifying.

"I gonna go see."

After a long time, Bryce finally uttered an unbearable curse.Holding the gun in his hand, he walked directly towards the door with a twisted face.

"be careful."

Alisa followed closely behind him, and then Lin Xi.

After coming outside the metal hatch, the strange feeling suddenly became stronger.When they were in the medical room, they only cared about the massive bloodstains on the ground, but standing outside the door at this moment, those bloodstains splattered everywhere became completely impossible to ignore.

On the ground, on the wall, and even on the lighting fixtures, there were fresh large pieces of blood. The light fell through the wet blood, and it seemed that even the air had turned into some kind of ominous red.The bloody smell was so strong that it seemed to be able to turn into substance and paste on people's nose and mouth, which made Lin Xi feel like he was about to suffocate.

—no matter what happened to Robert in that brief moment, it is certain that the person, or "thing" who did it to him must have done it with brutality.

Lin Xi could feel goose bumps on her arms.

He squatted down and pressed his fingers on the bloodstains.

The blood was still warm.

It was as if Robert was still standing here a few seconds ago.

Lin Xi pressed her tongue firmly against her palate to suppress the churning feeling in her stomach.He stood up, and then slowly walked towards the end of the corridor along the bright bloodstains.The blood trailed a long, long trail on the hallway floor.

"Lin Xi?"

Bryce called out to him nervously.

Lin Xi turned to look at him.

"I think...it wants us to find..."

He murmured, eyes a little trance.

"Found what?"

"His work."

Lynch said.

Just like what Lin Xi said, they didn't go far, and they saw Robert's body at the other end of the corridor.

The man who scared Lin Xi and the other three into cold sweat just a few minutes ago is now just a pile of broken pieces.

"Well……"

When she saw the corpses piled up in the middle of the aisle, Alisa suddenly covered her mouth and made a retching sound.

"God—"

Bryce's complexion also became extremely ugly in an instant.

Lin Xi almost threw up too.

In his previous life, he had never seen such a maddening scene.

There have been obvious changes in Robert's cut body. As they had guessed before, only the outer skin of him still maintains a human appearance.

And under the skin, the body of an insect is replacing his original flesh and blood.

This can be seen from his completely worm-like mouthparts alone - but the reason why the three of them can see those features so clearly is purely because "that thing" has thoughtfully helped them to see Robert himself. The supposedly hard skull was split into several even pieces.

The back of Lin Xi's neck felt cold.

He was shivering involuntarily.

He collected himself, and then reorganized his words.

"The thing that took Robert away was intentional." While speaking, he glanced at the spaceship corridor that looked like a plasma movie scene, and he felt extremely uncomfortable because of his guess, "He's showing off...showing off what he did to Robert These things……"

While speaking, Lin Xi carefully poked a piece of corpse that fell at his feet with the muzzle of the pulse gun.

Under the human's pale skin and yellowish fat layer, there is a thick chitinous carapace, which feels hard when touched.

"These carapaces are very hard. I have encountered similar things on Providence's aircraft before, that kind of mutated bugs. Even with plasma guns, we have to keep shooting them to cause damage. , but... look at the cuts... 'the thing' sliced ​​through the body like a red-hot knife through butter."

Lin Xi motioned Bryce and Alyssa to look at the corpse.

"Very smooth..."

Bryce frowned at it, then he murmured.

"Maybe the guy used a laser knife?"

he guessed.

"Only a high-power laser knife can do this kind of thing, and if that kind of weapon is used, at least in the corridor, it will leave traces of laser cutting."

Lin Xi shook his head and retorted.

"If it's a high-speed particle cutter..." Alisa just opened her mouth, then shook her head and rejected her guess, "No, it won't be a high-speed particle cutter. There's no way we wouldn't have heard the sound if it had been opened outside the door."

"..."

The three fell into silence for a while.

Lin Xi looked at Bryce and then at Alisa, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end.

To kill Robert in such a short time-take away-cut open-

It's hard to imagine that this is something humans can do.

No... that's not what humans do at all...

Lin Xi was sure that what he could think of, the other two could actually think of, but they kept refusing to admit it.

The author has something to say: Today I really want to ask for praise for "No. [-]":...
