Red-backed centipede (11)

The slowly opening elevator was covered in blood.

Both sides of the elevator can be opened. There is a deep bloodstain on the opposite door, as if someone was standing in the elevator and was about to go out when his aorta was suddenly bitten off by a monster outside. Warm blood gushed out, splashing high.

Not only that, there were traces of heavy objects being dragged in the elevator, and blood stains seeping into the gaps in the carpet, which was a shocking sight.

A thin layer of sweat formed on Shi Jianxia's palms. Before she had time to think about it, a cold cylindrical object hit the back of her head.

In an instant, her whole body stiffened.

"Someone from the Zerg Investigation Department?" A voice whose gender could not be identified let out a low laugh.

Shi Jianxia tightened her grip on the flaming sword. From her angle, she couldn't see who was standing behind her.

The opponent must be very powerful, otherwise it would be impossible for him to approach her without her noticing. Even the nine-tailed fox squatting on the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" did not give any warning.

The little white fox noticed the woman who suddenly appeared and bared its teeth fiercely, as if to warn her not to act rashly.

But it is just a cub that has not grown up yet. It does not look threatening at all. Instead, it is so cute that you want to hold it in your arms and cuddle it.

The man raised his hand, ignoring the nine-tailed fox's warning look, and rubbed its little head vigorously, making its soft fur stand up. He raised his front paws angrily to scratch her, then slowly withdrew his hand and pushed the muzzle of the gun against Shi Jianxia's head forward, commanding: "Go in."

Shi Jianxia watched the slender hand teasing his little white fox, gently biting the back of his teeth, and walked into the elevator.

"Classic of Mountains and Seas" immediately flew into the elevator with the nine-tailed fox and jumped into Xia's arms.

She hugged the book and the fox tightly in her arms. The little white fox seemed to have suffered a great injustice. It buried its head in her arms, and its nine little tails drooped down.

Shi Jianxia was gently stroking the soft fur on its body, and was caught off guard by the pungent smell of blood that hit his face.

The woman also walked into the elevator, less than half a step away from her. The strong smell of perfume wafted over, mixed with the smell of blood, making it almost difficult to breathe.

Shi Jianxia was suppressing his nausea and thinking about what to do next when he heard the elevator door close and move downwards.

The Chamber of Commerce Building has a total of 7 underground floors, all of which are parking lots. The -7th floor is the lowest floor, so how can the elevator go down?

Shi Jianxia's heart was pounding, and an idea came to his mind -

There is a secret Zerg research institute underground in the Chamber of Commerce building, and only those with silver medals can reach the underground research institute.

But an accident happened in the research institute. The researcher inside was parasitized by the red-backed centipede. The parasite escaped from the underground research institute with the silver medal, and then the red-backed centipede parasite appeared in the Chamber of Commerce Building.

Who is so bold as to secretly study the Zerg? And in such a crowded place? Aren't they afraid of being discovered?

Before she had time to think about it, the elevator stopped.

A shadow loomed from behind, and the woman whispered in her ear, "Can it kill insects?"

Before Shi Jianxia could answer, she chuckled again, "Here I come."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator door slowly opened. The red-backed centipede parasite that was gnawing on a corpse suddenly turned its head and stared at the two people in the elevator. A piece of uneaten meat was still hanging on its white teeth.

Shi Jianxia didn't care whether the woman's gun was pointed at him or not. He decisively retreated behind her, hugging the nine-tailed fox and trembling.

The little white fox stuck its head out and glanced at her strangely. Shi Jianxia quickly pressed her little head back into her arms.

The woman tutted, put on a beautiful gun flower hairstyle, and rushed out of the elevator in her red high heels.

Her exaggerated long golden curls fluttered as she ran, her knee-length crimson Lolita skirt raised a wanton arc, and her slender legs wrapped in white stockings easily kicked the head of a red-backed centipede parasite to pieces, and then she pulled the trigger in an instant.

The dark red bullet rushed out of the muzzle and accurately pierced the head of another red-backed centipede parasite.

Phew!

Dirty blood mixed with brain matter splattered out.

Shi Jianxia clenched the silver medal, raised her hand to touch the virtual panel of the elevator, and prepared to take the opportunity to escape, but something wrapped around her waist and pulled her out of the elevator without mercy.

The woman stepped on the wall and shook her left hand slightly. Xia Pu fell into her arms, and his cheeks hit two soft lumps.

So soft!

Hers doesn't seem to be that...

The woman smiled and said, "Why? Want to run away?"

Shi Jianxia shuddered when he heard her cold tone and didn't dare to think too much.

The person was very tall, over 1.8 meters, and was dressed extremely extravagantly. Even the gun she was holding had a beautiful red bow tied on the barrel.

The mask covered most of her face, revealing her bright red eyes and thick foundation on her skin.

Shi Jianxia couldn't see her original appearance at all, let alone judge her age.

"No," she answered obediently, wanting to reach out and push the woman away, away from the choking perfume that made her want to sneeze.

But the force that pulled her out of the elevator appeared again, this time strangling her wrists to prevent her from making any unnecessary movements.

When Shi Jianxia looked over, she discovered that what was controlling her was not an invisible force, but a white silk thread. The other end of the thread was on the ceiling and was stretched extremely tight.

She moved her arms outward in a small arc, but the thread didn't give her any room to move. It shortened as she moved, remaining straight.

The woman didn't pay attention to her little action, and brought her to the ground, saying in an ambiguous way, "There is no best."

"Set a fire and burn the bodies on the ground." she ordered again.

After saying that, she raised her gun again and pulled the trigger at the remaining red-backed centipede parasites in the passage.

The muzzle of the gun vibrated, and dark red bullets were fired one after another. The parasite, which had just transformed into an adult, had limited strength and speed, and could not avoid the flying bullets at all, and was shot in the head one after another.

Shi Jianxia's eyes flashed slightly, and he dropped a flame, burning the rapidly decaying corpse on the ground to ashes.

The woman was quite satisfied with her obedience, and continued to tie her waist with silk thread and pulled her deeper into the passage.

Every time she killed a red-backed centipede parasite, Shi Jianxia would set fire to the corpse. It was not known whether she didn't want to smell the stench of the decaying corpse or if she had some other purpose.

The passage is wide and high, but it is like a maze, leading to all directions.

The woman seemed to have entered her own back garden. She did not hesitate at any corner and was always able to judge the direction of travel at the first time. She passed many doors along the way, but she had no intention of going in.

After walking for about ten minutes, she finally stopped in front of a door. She used a white silk thread to take the silver medal from Shi Jianxia's hand and placed it in front of the virtual panel.

The virtual panel lit up with a faint blue light, and after scanning the silver medal, the words "Identity Verification Passed" appeared.

Shi Jianxia silently watched everything in front of him, thinking about how to escape.

After being here for so long, no matter how dumb she was, she could tell that the extravagantly dressed woman in front of her had a close relationship with the institute and knew how to use the silver medal.

She might have come in for someone or something, and the possibility of cleanup is not ruled out.

Shi Jianxia didn't know why she brought her along, but she knew that once the other party achieved her goal, she would most likely end up dead.

You have to look for opportunities, don't just sit and wait for death.

The door of the laboratory slowly opened, and the scene inside was shocking.

Blood, blood all over the ground, and a head with eyes wide open staring at the door.

There was no damage to his head and the cross section of his neck was very intact. He stared at the door, as if he was staring at the enemy who killed him.

Shi Jianxia looked away.

The woman said leisurely, "Are you scared?"

She raised her gun and fired two shots at the head on the ground. Both shots hit the forehead, leaving a bright bloody hole.

Boom!

The energy in the bullet exploded, the skull shattered, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. The woman whistled slowly, not feeling the horror or bloodiness at all.

Shi Jianxia noticed that she was looking at him, and he immediately hugged the nine-tailed fox tightly in his arms.

The woman seemed pleased by her shrinking behavior. "Why? Are you afraid that I will throw you in?"

Shi Jianxia didn't answer.

The woman didn't care. She moved her left hand lightly, and a limb covered with tumors was pulled off the door by white silk thread, and the ugly basketball-shaped head also fell off.

A piece of uneaten intestine was stuck in its sharp teeth, its body covered with tumors secreted disgusting mucus, its dense limbs kept shaking, and the underdeveloped larvae seemed to smell the aroma of food and were pushing around anxiously in the tumors.

The mother red-backed centipede raised her limbs, and the sharp steel bristles cut the white silk threads wrapped around them. She opened her mouth, and half of her intestines stuck between her teeth fell out. The next moment, she pounced from the door in an upside-down position!

Shi Jianxia controlled the flames without hesitation to burn the white silk threads wrapped around his body and cut them off. His feet were like the wind and he rushed out more than ten meters in the blink of an eye. When he turned the corner, he used Meng Ji's mimicry talent - shadow stealth without hesitation.

She wasn't sure about the specific concealment effect of Shadow Stealth, but it could at least play a role in concealment.

As long as she ran fast enough and left no traces that could be tracked, even if the woman killed the queen red-backed centipede, she would not be able to find her in this maze-like underground laboratory for a while.

The woman sighed lightly when she saw that she ran faster than a rabbit, but she had to admit that Shi Jianxia had grasped the timing of her escape quite well. She was too busy to deal with the queen red-backed centipede first.

The queen insect is of a high level, and it is unknown how long it has existed. Its body is covered with dense tumors, and the active larvae in it can hatch at any time and become its fearless soldiers.

Faced with the queen insect rushing towards her with its mouth wide open, the woman retreated calmly.

White threads appeared silently in the wide passage, intertwining and forming a huge spider web, blocking the woman.

The female red-backed centipede was caught off guard and fell into the net. The white net slid across the dark green light, binding it up like a closed umbrella.

But the female red-backed centipede is not a pushover either. She dances her sharp limbs and cuts a hole in the white web like a kitchen knife cutting tofu.

The toughness of the white net is far beyond that of the white silk of steel. A hint of surprise flashed across the woman's eyes. "Level five?"

The strength of this red-backed centipede queen was beyond her expectations.

But she did not panic, instead she sneered: "What a bunch of idiots."

I don't know who he is scolding.

The mother red-backed centipede roared, and its sharp limbs had cut the white web into pieces. The swollen tumors on its body exploded like boiling water, and larvae rolled out one after another.

The woman raised her palms upwards, releasing mimicry.

A dark green spider.

The spider crawled onto her fingertips, its dark green eyes flashed, and turned into a streak of light that drilled into the back of her hand.

The woman's eyes turned a deep yellow, and thin spider silk hung from her fingers.

The moment she raised her eyes, she disappeared from the spot like a ghost, like a top hunter wandering in the darkness, and appeared behind the red-backed centipede queen in an instant, swinging out spider silk as sharp as steel!

-

Roar!

A deafening roar came from the wall of the passage. Shi Jianxia guessed that the queen insect was no match for the woman, so she quickened her pace again and fled towards the elevator following the path she remembered.

But when she was halfway through her run, she suddenly remembered that the silver medal that could open the elevator had been taken away by the woman. Even if she ran to the elevator, she could not leave and might be blocked by the other party.

You can't go back the same way!

But there was no telling how many red-backed centipede parasites existed in this maze-like underground research institute. With her current strength, one would be enough to deal with her, and two would be too much for her to handle. Running around might even result in her being eaten by the insects.

As his brain was working rapidly, Shi Jianxia suddenly thought of something. He quickly picked up the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" floating beside him and turned to the page introducing unicorns.

Secondary mimicry name: Unicorn

[Mimicry Level: C-level (0/10 C-level vortex required for upgrade)]

[Mimicry Potential: Currently in cub state, can be upgraded to 3S level]

[Mimicry Talent: Exorcism and Avoidance]

[Battle Level: Level 1 (Level 1 Insect Crystals 207/10000 required for upgrade)]

[Fusion Combat Bonus: Increases the physical function of the mimic owner by 100%]

Shi Jianxia's eyes lit up and he decisively used the unicorn's mimicry talent.

A mysterious feeling came over her. Coincidentally, there were two forks in the road ahead, and her intuition told her that the left was safer.

She had that mysterious premonition at several forks in the road, but she never encountered the red-backed centipede parasite, and the sense of crisis behind her was getting farther and farther away.

This skill is so practical!

After running for a while, Shi Jianxia found that there was no fork in the road for a long time, but her premonition was still urging her to continue running forward.

Her own talent for mimicry couldn't possibly harm her.

Shi Jianxia followed the mysterious intuition in his heart and continued running forward. He passed through a long passage and finally stopped in front of a metal door.

The metal door was dark silver in color and was about four or five meters high. The door frame was engraved with patterns she didn't recognize, and in the center was a rubbing of a blooming red spider lily.

It seems like a door to hell.

At this time, there was a voice shouting in Xia's head.

Go in! Go in! Go in!

She frowned.

Was her premonition urging her to go in because this was the safest place in the entire underground laboratory? Even if the woman came after her, she wouldn't be able to do anything to her?

But how do I get in?

The silver medal had been taken away by the woman, and she had no credentials to enter the institute.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, a premonition in her heart urged her to reach for the backpack behind her.

There was a small compartment near the waist of the backpack. Shi Jianxia instinctively opened the zipper and touched something cold.

It looks like a jade product, smooth and translucent.

She held the object in her palm, feeling the depressions and patterns on it, and after a brief pause, she decisively took out the jade product.

The pure white square jade plaque looks like the finest mutton-fat jade, with delicate texture and intricate patterns engraved on the edges, like a totem from a mysterious tribe. Surrounded by the totem is a blooming red spider lily.

Sometimes Xia's breathing becomes stagnant.

The backpack belonged to the original owner. After arriving at the dormitory arranged by the Zerg Investigation Office today, she took out all the things she had hurriedly packed in the morning, but did not touch the small compartment of the backpack, so naturally she did not see the jade token.

Why did the original owner have such a jade token? In the memories she had read, there was no information related to the jade token at all.

Could it be that the original owner has something to do with this underground research institute?

Thinking of this, Shi Jianxia's breathing became uncontrollably rapid.

She took a step back and looked up at the red spider lilies on the gate.

The next second, she decisively placed the jade token in front of the door.

Red starlight lit up from all directions of the metal door, converging on the red spider lily in the middle, and a lifelike virtual image popped up.

Shi Jianxia stared at the changes on the door intently. This angle also happened to allow her to see the concave characters on the back of the jade token -

seven.
