The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 248: Infect

The scrawny crow stayed on the black eaves, made a strange cry, and fluttered away.

The drainage ditch beside the road was filled with yellow soup and green water floating with a layer of oil paint, giving off a disgusting smell. Wet rats emerged from the sewage with a clatter, holding minced meat from somewhere in their hands...

"It stinks..." There was a lingering stench in this foggy city.

"Sean, you are injured!" Olivia said behind her.

While running, Sean looked at his body.

I just tried to escape without realizing it, but now I have dozens of wounds on my body...

They were all scratched by those rusty puppet limbs.

The most terrifying wounds were on the right arm and right leg. The flesh of the two wounds was opened, and the shiny fat was exposed to the air, and even the bright red muscles could be seen...

The pain hidden by the adrenaline secreted frantically hit, Sean felt as if he had a fever and dizziness.

The smelling salts he just inhaled made Sean's soul recover a little spiritual power.

It was originally intended to be used to prevent accidents, so Sean had to use "Elixir Mist" to heal the wounds all over his body first.

A bright yellow-green mist enveloped the wound on his body, and the small wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, due to the lack of spiritual power, those large wounds on the body only stopped the blood, and they were still open...

"As long as it rains, it's pouring rain..." Sean deeply realized what bad luck is.

However, the mist of elixir just now made the fever subside a little.

Running on the dead, slippery, stench of stone-paved streets, Sean heard the sound of metal hitting the ground as the puppet walked behind him...

"No, I'll be caught up like this." Sean, who had no spiritual power, felt helpless.

Let Olivia face the deformed monster alone, and there is no chance of winning.

Sean pulled Olivia into a nearby wooden house.

In the dark, Sean used the crimson bond to keep Olivia quiet.

The doll quickly hugged his body, stopped all movements, and suppressed the sound of the flywheel running in his body.

Sean held his breath. There is no need to restrain the spiritual substance - he has used up his spiritual power, and the reaction of his soul is extremely weak...

There was a gap in the wooden wall facing the street in front of him. Through the gap, Sean could see the foggy street.

In this dead silence, Sean could hear his own heartbeat.

Plop, plop, plop...

Beyond the heartbeat, there was the tingling sound of metal hitting the ground continuously.

In the thick fog, Sean could see a huge silhouette approaching.

The rusted arms, legs, and torso were spliced ​​together in an unattractive way, and the silhouette in the thick fog looked like a giant spider full of deformed limbs, crawling forward rapidly.

On the deformed limb puppet group, rusty faces opened and closed their mouths one after another, making a creepy bubble sound.

The puppet group broke out of the fog and came to the wooden house.

"If you are found, you will be dead..."

Sean's breathing became heavy unconsciously, and he could only cover his mouth with his blood-stained hands.

Stink, pain, heartbeat, panic, suffocation, hopelessness...

Various negative situations and feelings impacted his mind.

Sean could only close his eyes and pray for a little luck.

Clang, clang, clang...

The deformed puppets chased after him scatteredly. At the top of the mass, countless faces with hollow eye sockets surrounded the face that was half rotten skin and half rusted skeleton.

The resentment aggregate in the air, a part of its incarnation controlled the stump mass, and disappeared into the fog ahead...

Gradually walk away.

He put down the hand covering his nose and mouth, and his breathing gradually became lighter.

"gone……"

Sean lowered his head and took another breath of smelling salts.

Due to the violent heartbeat, he was a little dizzy, and with his hands full of wounds and burning pain, he supported the wooden wall next to him...

But he felt a slippery, wet, bulging thing.

Resisting the disgusting feeling in the palm of his hand, Sean used the light to see what he touched.

It was a string of bulging, foul-smelling pustules parasitic on the wooden wall.

He took out the water bottle from the invisible stomach bag, and while washing his hands, he retched...

"You can't stay here for too long..." Sean judged, "If the grudge puppet can't find me in front, it's likely to return here.

"You have to get out of here."

Thinking like this, Sean reminded Olivia, and the two returned to the foggy street and ran in the other direction.

On the ditches and ridges, black mice were also running in groups.

"What exactly is this place?" While running through the dead streets, Sean pondered, "How could there be such a city in the labyrinth island?"

There are no answers to these questions.

The bad and dangerous situation did not make Sean lose his mind: "Anyway, I have to find a way to leave the labyrinth island.

"If you want to leave here, you can only understand it and find the meaning and laws implied by everything that happens here..."

You can't escape, you must solve the mystery...

Thinking so, Sean suddenly heard the cry of a child.

"Someone!"

If it was similar to the ethereal sound he heard in the barren mound before, Sean might stay away.

But the location of the cry was very clear, and it didn't contain any resentment.

After hesitating for a while, Sean, who was completely clueless, decided to take a look.

Following the cry, Sean walked into a house through a narrow wooden door.

Through the dim light outside the door, I could see a child with dirty clothes and messy hair, with his back to the door, weeping weakly.

Crying and crying, he suddenly coughed.

The coughing sound was so loud that Sean was worried that it would hurt the child's lungs and windpipe.

It seemed that someone had come in, and the child slowly turned his face.

Turning his head, Sean discovered that black pustules grew on the child's face and neck~lightnovelpub.net~ The roots of the pustules were red and swollen, and the bulging blood vessels jumped.

The child was still coughing. He coughed up a pool of black blood and vomited on the floor.

"Huh...huh..." His eyes darkened and he breathed hard, "Father, mother...

"Uncle... Aunt...

"Grandpa and Grandma...

"Everyone is dead...

"Why is this so?

"Why does this happen?"

Looking at Sean, his eyes had lost all vigor. The child breathed with all his strength, and every time his chest bulged, he could see the distinct ribs.

The black pustules trembled, and a little bit of black permeated his skin.

"Didn't the Holy Father know... wouldn't he love his people?

"Why..."

The other party seems to have contracted a very severe infectious disease...

There is no way to save him, only to keep a distance.

"Why is this so?

"They can turn... the whole castle into gold...

"Why, can't we cure our disease?"
