Chapter 202
Chapter 202
When the sound of scales mopping the floor disappeared at the end of the corridor, the door of the locker, which was covered by a lot of sundries, opened silently.
"Are you ok?"
The black widow lifted Dr. Banner from the ground, who was grinning from the pressure, and asked in a hoarse voice.
"..."
The latter nodded, and took a low breath because he touched the bruise on his body.
"The ghost is gone?" Dr. Banner asked hopefully.
"Should still be around."
Natasha leaned her back against the wall and looked as if she wanted to smoke a cigarette.
In Dr. Banner's field of vision, her red hair was covered with a hazy silver outline, only her green eyes were as bright as ever.
"That thing... shouldn't be able to run at all."
Slightly relieved from the suffocation of holding his breath in the locker before, reason returned to the physicist's mind.
He recalled the appearance of the monster in a glimpse, and couldn't help but spit out, "Either its brain will sink and fall over, or its body will consume all its calories in a very short time—how does it possible----"
"You mean, under normal circumstances, creatures like that shouldn't exist?"
Natasha's thoughts were interrupted by him, and she couldn't help asking.
"Yes." Dr. Banner said firmly.
Black Widow was silent for a while.
"You told me last time, the dream you had," Natasha's slightly hoarse guttural voice softened, "it was about a monster, right?"
"Yes."
The physicist touched the heart subconsciously, feeling the throbbing heartbeat there, "I dreamed of a gray giant standing on an open field, it was huge..."
"Does the creature in your dream follow the logical structure you speak of?"
Natasha asked.
"No." Dr. Banner replied subconsciously.
"........."
Under Natasha's slightly deep gaze, he suddenly realized, "You mean they are actually——"
A high-pitched scream suddenly penetrated the barriers of layers of walls, filled the ears of Natasha and Dr. Banner with a creepy misery.
"........."
The expression on Natasha's face became tense for an instant, and she gestured to Dr. Banner, signaling him to hide immediately.
The long scream gradually subsided, like some kind of small animal whose throat was pinched by its teeth, and its breath slowly descended.
However, Natasha could hear clearly that the voice was too low compared to Tony Stark, too high-pitched compared to Captain America, and too harsh compared to Clint’s, and it was by no means a female voice—————— Not from any of the teammates.
"Don't go there, Nat, it might be a trap."
Dr. Banner reminded her.
"The probability is only 50.00%."
Black Widow dismisses his blocking behavior lightly.
Under Natasha's half-smile gaze, Dr. Banner hesitated for a second, then raised his head again, and said stiffly but sincerely.
"Take me. At least I can get the big guy out."
"Then tear down the roof of the entire mental hospital and solve the problem at the root?"
Natasha raised the corners of her lips, and nodded with Dr. Banner's increasingly stiff expression.
The corridor without the screams sounded quite silent, but this silence was even more frightening than the sound just now.
It is not difficult to find the traces of the monster's scales dragging on the ground. Natasha glanced at the floor tiles and saw the direction of the monster.
She led Dr. Banner through half the corridor, turned the next corner, and finally stopped in front of a place.
In front of this closed door, there were traces of scales, as if the monster had crept in and squeezed itself in.
————— And its traces stopped there, and then stopped abruptly.
"........."
Mephisto raised his head, licked his lips dissatisfied, and put the red ribbons back.
The monster wrapped in the "red cocoon" crashed down, smashing into the black blood on the ground.
"It tastes terrible."
Mephisto whispered in disgust.
Just now, the beauty Rose broke through her comfort zone, wrapped the red ribbon around the unprepared monster layer by layer, looking for an opportunity to attack inside.
On the contrary, after the long scream, the monster actually stood there, trembling under Mephisto's gaze, and refused to escape.
Mephisto: ...
Mephisto: ? ? ?
Even though there were many question marks in her mind, she still ignored all the questions and let the silk threads go to the side of the monster's body quite simply.
—————A red ribbon drilled into the center of the two scales, found soft flesh there, and sank straight down.
Like a shark smelling blood, more red ribbons rushed between the monster's scales and took root.
The monster's blood was cold, with a strange fragrance, like the cool fragrance of sandalwood.
Above its head, terrifying red ribbons poured down from the ceiling, and several of them joined the food-sharing army in an instant.
And Mephisto still stood there, looking at the struggling monster in the red cocoon with cold eyes.
"It hurts...it hurts..." the monster's sweet voice was muffled, it kept begging for mercy, screaming, and writhing like a bug, "it hurts...I hurt so much!"
"........."
Mephisto didn't speak, just tilted his head.
"It hurts!" Seeing her reacting slightly, the monster seemed to see hope, and cried frantically, "It hurts! It hurts!"
The beauty of the rose came to the side of the monster, and stood gently under its hopeful gaze.
"Do I hurt?"
she asked suddenly.
"........."
The monster froze for a moment, not understanding what she was saying at all.
"You, are you in pain...?" It repeated blankly, "You...?"
"That little girl."
Mephisto came to it, stared at the one eye that kept turning on its forehead, and said softly, "Have you seen her, hunted her, hurt her... That little girl, have you ever made her hurt?"
"... There are tens of thousands of little girls here, I don't know what you are talking about," the monster frantically defended, "There are other... other monsters, you go find them——"
—————— It was strangled by the red ribbon and screamed, and the sharp blade that was secretly about to be thrown in its hand also fell to the ground, making a crisp sound on the tiles.
Mephisto bent down and slowly picked it up.
"........."
Without saying a word, she aimed the sharp knife at the monster's one-eyed pupil, and smiled for the second time this night.
"no no no!"
Before the blade touched One Eye, it finally broke down and cried, "What girl! Say it, say it!"
"........."
Mephisto's hand stopped slowly, and she looked down at the monster's eyes full of fear.
"A little girl with black hair," she said softly. "Blue eyes. Ice blue. She was little."
When she uttered these descriptions one by one, Mephisto clearly noticed that the monster's body convulsed in layers of red ribbons.
"what……"
It gave a strange laugh full of hatred, and even ignored Mephisto's threat just now, and fell into the memories by itself.
"Just so close, I was going to catch her! The people on the top floor had no idea what they were missing, but we smelled her...she smelled perfect."
"Her taste is perfect."
It repeated itself dreamily.
Mephisto: The fist is in.jpg
The ribbons of desire sensed her emotions, and squeezed deeper into the monster's flesh and blood. Black blood splashed out, and was licked away one by one by the ribbons of desire vying for it in mid-air.
The monster screamed again and again, as if it couldn't understand why it would suffer so much after answering her question.
But Mephisto no longer wants to see it.
—————Gripping the sharp blade in the palm of her hand, the beauty of the rose gave birth to more ribbons of desire, rushing towards the monster.
In the darkness, someone's eyelids drooped deeply, and there was a drop of tears that no one could see.
The icy scent of wood rushed into her throat, but it couldn't calm the burning anger and pain there.
"She's alone."
Sisley in rose skin muttered to herself.
"She's not perfect, and she's not a commodity to be fought over... just a human being."
The people in the lab are human.
Here, too, all psychopaths are human.
—————But why, as human beings, can one person turn a blind eye to another person's experience?
Mephisto couldn't understand.
The blood-sucked Ribbons of Desire sensed her emotions, and retreated tactically from the monster one after another. Some returned to her body, while others rubbed her cheek flatteringly, trying to please Mephistopheles, like enthusiasm Another clumsy dog hook.
—————Two red ribbons even floated quietly in front of her, imitating the flowers that Mephisto made out of red ribbons in the New York hotel before, and opened crookedly in front of her.
Mephisto: ...
This crooked flower made the big beauty Rose's eyes and eyebrows slightly stretched, and her gaze calmed down, no longer as turbulent as before.
"Are you kidding me?" she asked softly, "Thank you."
"Little Red Flower" twisted, motioning Mephisto to touch the petals they formed, and then she re-scattered into two red ribbons contentedly, and returned to Mephisto's back.
The hall became empty again, and the red ribbons returned with a full load. The beauty of Rose was still holding the sharp blade that the monster accidentally dropped, and the latter was lying on the floor unconsciously.
She thought about it, and was about to walk to the monster to check its condition when she felt a heartbeat outside the door.
One was faster, and the other was calmer, carefully sticking to the door panel.
Mephisto: !
Before the beauty Rose had time to throw away the sharp knife in her hand, the dilapidated door was pushed open by a hand from the outside.
Dr. Banner's pale face protruded a little from behind the door, and then his expression changed.
"You—" He paused slightly.
From behind him, Natasha pushed the door open completely.
The red-haired and blue-eyed female agent also looked quite dashing in a snow-white psychiatric suit. She looked in the direction of Mephisto, and didn't comment on her murderer-like appearance, but asked softly.
"It's dead?"
Dr. Banner: ...?
Dr. Banner, who didn't see the monster on the ground at first glance, took a closer look with these words, and then put out a mask of pain.
"........."
Mephisto shook his head quietly, as an answer to Natasha's words.
The latter looked at the blood-stained sharp blade in her hand, and then at the weakly panting monster on the ground.
"Let's go," the female agent said indifferently, "We can't stay here for long, monsters can find us at any time."
Beauty Rose is happy to see Black Widow and Hulk unscathed, so naturally there is no objection.
"The captain said we had to find an exit here," she said softly.
"Have you met with the captain?" Natasha raised her eyes and glanced at the blonde beauty in front of her.
Mephisto nodded silently.
"I saw the corpse of a monster with him." The beauty Rose said calmly, "When we could see it, the monster came back to life."
"We were in the corridor."
Dr. Banner trotted all the way, trying to keep up with the two fast-moving ladies in front of him, "Uh——we have nothing over there, except for this, I only had time to get half of it."
———— Afterwards, Natasha covered her mouth and dragged her into the nearest locker.
Dr. Banner wisely didn't say that.
He handed the half sheet of sweat-soaked paper to Mephisto, who took a quick glance at it, noted the torn patterns on it, and handed the note back to Dr. Banner.
"Let's separate from here." Under Natasha's gaze, the blond beauty's voice was cool, "I'll go find Iron Man, and you go help the captain."
"please."
In this urgent moment, the Black Widow did not refuse, just like she did not ask why the scars on the monster's body did not match the marks that the sharp blade could cut.
With the roar of the monster approaching, Mephisto watched the red-haired female agent pull Dr. Banner's back and quickly disappeared around the corner, and quietly released a red ribbon on the cuff to detect the heartbeat.
"Go, my boy."
she said lightly.
The oppressive feeling in the air became stronger and stronger, and the heartbeat in Mephisto's chest became louder and louder, as if it was a curse that could be heard by monsters, and it was also like an alarm clock to remind her.
————— The time to kill a monster is much longer than Mephisto imagined.
And she can't waste time on this, she needs to find Iron Man without any armor as soon as possible.
The beauty Rose turned over the counter neatly, avoiding the sharp teeth bitten by the monster behind her, and ran towards a deeper place.
The red ribbon was constantly stretching, and the monster behind her was unaware of the fact that she had slaughtered its kind until it was powerless to resist. Its stomach made sticky and disgusting noises as it swelled and swelled.
"Run faster," the monster's malicious voice was like sticky syrup, "it doesn't matter if you don't run, little beauty—you look so nervous!"
"Are you lost?"
Its voice disappeared for a moment, and suddenly appeared right in front of Mephisto!
The beauty Rose didn't even glance at it, but unfolded in her mind the map that she had been reciting silently since just now, and when the angle changed, she ran towards the next corner almost close to the monster's wide-open teeth.
With a "creak" sound, the monster's two rows of fine teeth rubbed against each other, creating sparks that made people's teeth sore.
Its voice was gloomy for a moment, and then became sweet and soft again.
"You know, little beauty, I've changed my mind."
————— Mephisto turned a deaf ear and stretched the ribbon of desire even longer.
While the latter faithfully fed back the empty heartbeats around her, Mephisto grayed out the map in his mind.
The monster rushed to the corner, Mephisto sped up his speed, bumped into the body it was about to lean over a few steps, and ran towards the increasingly narrow corridor.
————— Fog appeared in the corridor at some unknown time, slightly dimming Mephisto's vision.
If 15 minutes ago, this layer of fog was too light to be seen, now, the milky white has been faintly visible, and it has begun to become a little obstructive.
"Little beauty, what are you running?"
the new monster asked aloud.
Suddenly there was the sound of high-speed moving footsteps at the corner ahead, and Mephisto narrowly avoided the approaching claw, and ran into two narrow passages before the monster behind him caught up with him. The hallway in the middle.
The sound of the two monsters running was so terribly oppressive that it even reached Mephisto's ears through the wall. The beauty Rose kept her expression unchanged and continued to listen to the heartbeats around her with the red ribbon.
—————— On the map in her mind, she crossed out the place in the lower left corner, and then accelerated again, jumping over the collapsed locker on the ground like a cheetah, avoiding two people trying to catch her at the end of the corridor Back to the monster.
With a distant roar, the third monster straightly broke through a wall and rushed towards her, officially joining the monster's hunt for humans.
"Meat...! It roared indistinctly, "Meat...meat!Meat………! ! "
From its bloody teeth, Mephisto knew exactly who it was talking about.
——————Before it came to hunt her down, this monster had most likely devoured a psychopath who had become a prey.
The beauty Rose still kept her eyes firmly on the fork in the way to escape. When this new monster rushed, she overturned the hospital bed in the middle of the corridor, and forcibly stuck the monster's soft belly.
"Roar-----"
The latter let out a long and sharp cry, spat out some fragments of fabric from his mouth, stepped on the iron bed with a few feet, and chased after Mephisto's slender figure.
Compared with the previous monsters, it is faster and more powerful, and can even break through all obstacles with its body, heading straight in the direction of Mephisto.
"Meat!" Running all the way, its voice was like thunder, hitting the dirty tiles in the corridor of the mental hospital, "Meat——meat! Meat...meat! Meat...!!"
"I'm not your meat."
Mephisto said coldly.
At the corner ahead, several monsters that were chasing her before also appeared one after another. Before the monster shouting "meat" approached behind her, Mephisto took a few steps back and walked through a new corridor. past.
Those monsters were chasing after her desperately, the roar was deafening, the lockers were crushed one by one, the iron bed was also trampled flat, and on the high shelf, the unused bandages of the patients fell into the stale blood In, like a filthy shroud.
Facing this hellish scene, Mephisto didn't look back.
From the moment she started running, Mephisto never set foot on any repeated roads. She patiently crossed out the locations on the map where there was no Iron Man in her mind. Carefully avoid the big mouths and sharp claws that the monsters bite.
"meat!"
The biggest monster has completely gone berserk, with the smell of rotting blood all over its body, it opened its huge mouth, and charged towards Mephisto.
———————The red ribbon in Mephisto’s arms suddenly moved slightly.
"........."
The big beauty Rose shrank her pupils and looked in the direction indicated by the red ribbon.
The footsteps of the surrounding monsters almost covered the heartbeat of "dongdong". If there was no red ribbon, Mephisto would have almost ignored the seemingly inconspicuous locker.
She flew away, and the red ribbon stretched from her back in an instant. She kept walking, and easily carried the locker back on her shoulders, and pressed the side with the lock on it intimately to ensure that Tony would not be knocked out.
————— In the locker, the heart of Iron Man, who was forced to lie flat, stopped beating, and then instantly increased in size.
Mephisto: ...
Mephisto: What bad thoughts can cats have.jpg
The surrounding area was filled with dense fog, she increased her speed for the last time, and rushed towards the only place she hadn't explored yet.
—————Captain America and the place where she first found the monster.
"Meat!... Meat! Meat...!"
The next second, with the violent sound of breaking the wall, broken bricks rained down in the middle of the corridor, and the biggest monster kept crashing into the surrounding walls, roaring and rushing towards Mephisto.
"...You son of a bitch, there's no meat for you."
Mephisto heard the Iron Man in the cabinet muttering.
"........."
The beauty Rose resisted the urge to smile, and ran towards that direction with her head sullen.
As the distance gradually approached, the red ribbons retracted obediently into her body, and Iron Man and the heavy locker fell completely on Mephisto's shoulders.
—————What a heavy burden.
"come over!"
Before Mephisto had time to reveal his painful mask, he heard Natasha's urgent voice on the right, "Hurry up, the door is about to open! Hurry up!"
Without hesitation for a second, Mephisto immediately changed direction, and Natasha narrowly avoided the locker sweeping over her shoulder, and ran towards the exit together with her.
"The captain is not at ease, let me follow." Natasha explained, and then asked, "You...what are you carrying?" The red-haired female agent still had the energy to joke with her, "Snow White?"
"It's Iron Man."
Mephisto replied with a calm expression.
