Chapter 297 Rescue
"That's really strange, I haven't heard that title in a long time—Eoubs's key monitoring target."
"Your characteristics are a prison of the self."
“At the same time… she was also the first test subject of Sunset Hill.” Scott said, watching Bell struggle with the same expressionless face. “I just reviewed it again. After she was sent here by Li Lin, the Mirror of Eternal Dreams began to assimilate her, and this continued for nearly tens of thousands of years. What do you think those clones existed for? Simply to share the pain. Otherwise, how could she endure being chewed day and night?”
"Alright, alright, please stop lecturing me," An Ru said, then quickly grabbed his shoulders. "Well... we have to get her out now. You said she's the key to our escape."
Gu Heng stood there stunned for a moment, then looked at Bel Hera as if he had just come to his senses. Her eyes, which were filled with torment and pain, were still those of a young girl, clear as if they had been taken from a cross-section of a calm lake, yet empty inside.
Upon closer inspection, the wall seemed to be the main structure of the office, extending outwards in a rough, wrinkled expanse with several dents, as if some creature inside was breathing urgently.
As for the surrounding scene—the desk extending outwards appeared exceptionally distorted, perhaps due to its horrific mutation, or perhaps because of insufficient nourishment, resulting in rather unattractive faces, with infant-sized faces sprouting from it—Bel Hera's, of course, but far too young, still emitting soft groans and cries. Many identical heads sprouted from its edges, some seemingly engaged in a lively discussion about how long the main subject could live, emitting giggles—a truly horrifying and absurd sight.
Unexpected.
Gu Heng suddenly straightened up, walked to her side, looked down at her tormented, delicate face, his expression calm and his tone composed, "I've thought about it, and we don't need to kill you, that might result in mutual destruction—so the best way right now is for us to cooperate so we can leave."
Those blood-crusted pupils stared at him for a few seconds before Bel Hera replied.
Her voice sounded like she had just woken up, almost a murmur, as she vaguely said, "Okay, I agree."
Gu Heng raised his hand almost simultaneously, and there was a pistol in his hand—An Ru hadn't even noticed when this guy had found a weapon, which was simply unbelievable.
Without even looking, he instinctively fired seven shots forward in quick succession, his movements swift and skillful, clearly those of a master killer.
The place where they were shot was just a perfectly normal wall to their left. Anru thought it would be this mutated thing in front of her—but a few seconds later, skin like the wall splattered, followed by spurting blood and shattered organs, and then... something crawled out from inside.
"cockroach?"
An Ru Shi finally understood what he had been listening to when he was pressed to the ground—the thing that had crawled out was pitch black, very small, about the size of a human thumb, but its large mouth full of sharp teeth was clearly visible. Its mouthparts were unusually exaggerated, and it also had two vise-like forelimbs, as if they had been specially evolved for dismembering something—to be precise, it wasn't just one that fell out, it was practically a whole nest of them.
The first one died when it was hit inside the wall. The second one fared better; it fell out of the hole with a thud, twitched a couple of times, and then stopped struggling.
But the remaining number is rather alarming.
At this moment, only a pale hole remained in the wall. An Ru could tell what was inside with just a casual glance—intestines, blood vessels, and a stomach. Something was still churning inside the wall, and then one after another, hideous monsters emerged.
"They are certainly not cockroaches."
"They're just dream eaters."
Gu Heng shouldn't be too leisurely; he still has time to make annotations. After firing his gun, which alerted a group of monsters of unknown origin, he walked directly to Bell as if nothing had happened. Upon seeing this, the things that had surged out of the wall desperately lunged at him. An Ru was frightened and immediately disassembled the suppressant and injected it into Gu Heng's body.
For a fleeting moment, its strangely deformed front paws were about to touch his clothes, but the next second, its entire body was thrown out.
Without making a sound, it simply became an empty shell.
"ah……"
"I have a headache."
"This is one of the few times I've used this ability to cause rapid aging."
"No...it wasn't me."
"You are the one who manipulated all of this."
"Oh my god, what have I done? I really didn't want to hurt them."
He suddenly started crying.
"Damn it, can you please not have an attack at a time like this!" An Rushi thought, but before she could say anything, she quickly snatched the gun from Gu Heng and frantically pulled the trigger at the cluster of insects. The entire wall inside turned into a dark green mass—it was all the body fluids of those insects. At the same time, several more cockroaches crawled out and pounced on her.
"Fuck you."
Fearing that Gu Heng would be affected, she could only dodge a pounce in a disheveled manner, while continuing to fire her gun. But more monsters crawled out, moving incredibly fast and with great skill, along the walls and ceiling.
An Ru didn't care about her partner's life or death at this point. She directly shielded him in front of her and used her special ability to put the forbidden substance in Gu Heng's body into a state of excitement.
Several hundred monsters leaped out from inside the wall, but instead of attacking, they froze in mid-air before collapsing.
"Can."
"Your features are fucking amazing, honey."
"Sleeping with you so many times was definitely worth the effort."
Upon seeing this, An Rushi immediately beamed with joy.
"You time-controlling agents are truly favored," she sighed more than once. "What genius came up with the idea to create them? How could a forbidden object whose true form is just a stopwatch possess such power, without any major side effects?"
Once nothing else crawled out of the hole, Anru finally breathed a sigh of relief—although everyone knew they wouldn't let her control Bell, that's how things were going for now.
It's a fair exchange, isn't it? That bitch is almost dead, and they're doing a good deed.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Gu Heng again. He stood amidst a group of monster corpses, like a statue, attracting no attention.
"Hello."
"Stop spacing out, I know you're awake."
Hello?
Do you play Genshin Impact?
Anru lingered in front of him for a long time, but Gu Heng reverted to his dazed state.
Just then, Bell spoke up.
