Transtor: der Transtions--------
It was these creatures that attacked the old woman's ship.
On the dark sea, these ugly, grotesque beings attacked passing ships in swarms. Judging by their appearance, if they wereing humans, their appearance would be a disgrace to their form.
When an ordinary ship enters them, it is nearly impossible to escape.
Although they appear clumsy on nd, based on their evolutionary characteristics, they are mostly amphibious, or even aquatic creatures.
Ier, these beings rely on their strong physiques and boructure, making them nearly invincible.
He even doubts whether regur caliber rifle bullets would be able to pose a deadly threat to them.
Imagine, och-bck sea, these creatures silently climb up the sides of a ship, and when they suddenly appear in front of the crew, their rea would likely be the same as that of the captain.
They would suspect that these grotesque, giant beings e from hell and scream, "The gates of hell have opened!"
Whether they are from hell or not, Jiang g isn’t sure, but he knows for sure that trouble is gonna e knog.
In the painting, they see the sun and moon reversing, the tides being irregur, aer flooding in, causing the entire Bckstoown to sink into a vast o.
That altar wasn’t some sacred pce for resurre, it was a cursed, ominous site!
Those poor invaders ultimately paid the price for their foolishness!
A trap!
It was all a trap!
Slowly, the things that didn’t make sense before started to piece together. He still remembered the se when he first met the people of Bckstoown in front of the grand building’s gate.
That strangely dressed man, who seemed to be a priest, had said the following:
“Stolen of light, fallen iernal darkness, you will crawl in the winding, rugged ruins, surrounded by swarms of vipers gnawing at your broken body. You will feel the pain but not die. Your soul will remain trapped within your body, helplessly watg it decay. You only crawl beh its throne and beg for mercy from it, the betrayers of old, with blood.”
Now, it seemed that this was a description from the victim’s perspective.
They were sealed within the monster's body, living a filthy, sunless life, only able to appear at night, hoping for mercy to be released from their curse.
Also, the drunk blonde man in Bckstoown had muttered, “Just like a group of ugly sea crawlers!”
Wasn't he referring to themselves?
The residents of Bckstoown were ohe invaders who killed the natives.
But because of the curse, they turned into inhuman, ghostly forms, and could only appear at night, their only wish was to lift the curse.
Squinting, Jiang g specuted further, they might not even be able to it suicide.
Meanwhile, the strange sculptures on the first floor of the building had a clear in. Based on his observations, Jiang g was now certain that these sculptures weren’t just lifeless objects.
They were alive.
Liang Long had probably been attacked by those sculptures.
Ever sihey arrived, those sculptures had started gradually ing to life. At first, it wasn’t obvious, but now the situation had bee dire.
As the mission s end, the sculptures started to awaken on a rger scale, and those sculptures were clearly the residents of Bckstoown.
Why they turned into sculptures and appeared here was still unknown.
Every time Jiang g passed the hall on the first floor, he felt an indescribable eerie feeling as if he was being watched. He had thought about it seriously, but at that time, there were too few clues, so it left him fused.
Only after Liang Long disappeared did the answer bee clear.
The stone fragment he had picked up earlier carried a small amount of foul-smelling mucus—smelling like marine creatures.
“Brother Hao,” Ran’s voiterrupted Jiang g’s thoughts. He turned his gaze to Ran, who smiled, saying, “So… what do you think?”
Ran spread his hands, looking pletely disied, but his sharp eyes revealed his true i.
He was looking for a fw.
The previous call had merely been a test. If Jiang g wasn’t mistaken, Ran had just broken free from the influence of some unknown force.
Otherwise, he would have acted against him long ago.
There would have been no waiting.
“What do you mean by ‘what do I think?’” Jiang g steadied his mind aed.
Ran grinned, not hiding his iions, and spoke directly, “Su Xiaoxiao is already dead, Su An is also in her hands, and now there are just the three of us left.”
“But have you sidered what the path to survival is in this mission?”
Jiang g stared coldly at him, not responding, clearly waiting for him to tinue.
Ran shrugged casually, “In my opinion, there are two steps to survival in this mission. The first one is retively simple. We…”
He smiled, pointing at the old woman huddling in the er, saying pinly, “We kill her. She is one of the threats in this mission, and we be sure that Su An, even the first missing biker woman, all died at her hands.”
“Based on past experience, eliminating the threat itself is often the key to breaking the situation.”
After speaking, Ran suddenly stopped, putting his hands in his pockets, tilting his head, and staring at Jiang g with an exaggerated expression.
Jiang g raised his , “tinue,” he said, “I’d like to hear what Brother Ran’s sed step is.”
Ran opened his mouth, his smile widening unfortably, “As for the sed step…” He extended his tongue, greedily lig his lips. “It could be a bit troublesome.”
“Just say it,” Jiang g nodded, “I’m listening.”
“Because the clues are unclear, no one knows what effect killing the old woman will have on us. The mission might end, or it might not,” he chuckled, “especially for the one who takes a.”
“So, one of the three of us has to be chosen as the test subject, just like Su Xiaoxiao.”
Jiang g rubbed his , smag his lips, then looked up, asking, “Is that the pn, Brother Ran?”
“Brother Hao is clever,” Ran ughed.
“Then, who do you think is suitable for this task among the three of us?” Jiang g asked seriously, iionally l his voice, as if not wanting anyone else to hear.
Ran squinted and raised a hand, pointing at the stone door.
It was clear that the Fatty was the perfect test subject. He was obedient and easy to trol. Though timid, with a little brainwashing from the doctor, this task wouldn’t be too difficult.
Jiang g nodded approvingly, seemingly finding the suggestion quite reasohat way, we won’t have to fight each other.”
