Chapter 126 The End of the Play
Edogawa Ranpo and Mochikawa Wataru quickly reached an agreement. Wang Chuanshe wanted to see the human soul burst into a different kind of brilliance in the midst of pain and entanglement, but on the other hand, can't the emotions of positive characters also give birth to a sufficiently stunning glow? It would be too narrow-minded to see only one side.
He looked out over the sea. There, the main body had gradually calmed down the collision brought about by the fusion of the worlds. He withdrew his gaze and looked at the ruins below. He heard a loud rumbling sound and an angry and violent roar. The ground of the villa, which had turned into ruins, suddenly collapsed downwards. The next moment, the terrifying figure finally poked its head out from below.
Sure enough, possessing this inhuman body does not come without a price. He probably didn't have much rationality left in his anger. He was cunning and treacherous before, but now his tyranny suppressed all of that.
"Bang!" It was the sound of a gunshot. Miss Morishima Ai, who was standing farthest away, fired without hesitation. The brass bullet shot into one of his eyes. He was caught off guard and blood instantly appeared in his left eye. He let out a roar like a wounded beast.
"Fortunately, the bullet can still cause harm to him." Morishima Ai subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. But almost instantly, the murderous maniac rose from the ruins. His figure was several times larger than before. He no longer looked like the one he had when he checked in last night. His muscles were as knotty as a demon's. He rushed towards Edogawa Ranpo, who was the closest to him.
"Damn it." Even though he knew this moment would come, Ranpo couldn't help but complain in his heart: "I have never been a combatant!"
He dodged quickly to the side.
"Are these people really a match for the monsters?" asked the person who had spoken earlier in the space.
"The monster is already injured." Another person answered him in a low voice.
Yes, this murderer was not unharmed in the previous explosion of explosives. When his entire body appeared in front of people, Morishima Ai noticed the wounds on his body. The charred flesh and bright red were intertwined, like a scar caused by burning.
Seeing this, Morishima Ai was shocked and shot at the injured part with the gun in her hand without hesitation. The monster dodged several times and finally pounced towards her. Morishima Ai quickly escaped.
"Bang!" This time it was Ranpo who fired from behind. After learning about Harue Eisai's collection, they were also equipped with weapons, which Morishima Ai had collected earlier. Shinichi was also there to help.
Wang Chuan She joined in from the side with a smile. Edogawa Ranpo could clearly feel that after being injured by the explosion, the monster's speed was slower than when he first encountered it. He shouted, "Do as we agreed!"
They began to cooperate in an orderly manner, and at the same time, secretly, they also quietly moved their positions in one direction. Fortunately, the monster didn't have much rationality left, and they did it covertly so he didn't notice.
The trap that had been set earlier was finally used. Morishima Ai and Komachi Koyuki were hiding in a corner. When the monster Mo rushed over, they seized the opportunity and pulled the rope in their hands hard. The monster was tripped and fell facefirst on the ground covered with fallen leaves. The next second, he screamed in pain. Because the bottom of the leaves were covered with dense nails, all with the tips pointing upwards, which pierced his face full of holes.
A net was thrown down from the top of the tree, and the broken blades flashed cold light on the nodes of the rope net. Even though the monster tore it into pieces in just one second, the overly sharp blades still left many wounds on his body. He chased after it, leaving behind him bloody footprints.
After tripping him, Morishima Ai and Komachi Koyuki didn't even stop for a moment and immediately flew backwards.
"These are the things left in the villa. I don't know which generation of the owner configured them." Not long ago, Morishima Ai brought the other people to a place and pointed at the items that had not been used for who knows how long. "Some of them can still be used. I guess they are used to hunt wild animals. This island was not safe at the beginning. We can pick out some useful ones."
"We need to do it as soon as possible," Ranpo said, "Didn't you guys make some arrangements in the villa before? You can move outside and form a siege with the ones behind. I need to restrain him for a while."
"And these." Morishima Ai took out a pile of densely packed small medicine bottles of various colors.
"This is..." A trace of astonishment flashed in Shinichi's eyes.
"These are all the medicines that Chun Jiang Yingcai has, and the ones that the doctor brought over recently." She unscrewed it and sniffed it. "There are a lot of hypnotic drugs in it, and some for other purposes. Use them all. 'External application' is also an effective way to use medicine. As long as they can play a little role, it will be worth my thinking of them."
She had spread the drugs all over the nails, and now they were embedded in the monster's flesh.
They hunted it as if it were a huge and extremely dangerous beast. They cooperated with each other and took advantage of the terrain, shooting with guns at long distances and engaging with the monsters at close range with axes. They used a very short time to set up all the traps they could. Everyone was incredibly calm and composed, doing everything they could without being greedy for credit and not giving the monsters a single chance to attack them.
Everyone here (except Komachi and Koyuki) can be said to be a protagonist-like character in the outside world. Even if they do bad things, they are definitely at the BOSS level. When these people make full use of their wisdom and action power, and cooperate with the people around them for mutual benefit without hesitation, they are incredibly efficient. Watching them deal with the terrible monster is more like listening to an exciting and rhythmic song. Everyone has a highlight moment in it, and the wounds they leave on the monster are proof of their wisdom and ability.
The people watching couldn't help but applaud their persistence and hard work.
Until they finally led him to a place. At this time, the monster was already wounded and the people who broke through were exhausted, but their eyes were calm and cool. This time, they used a net made of oiled ropes, because there was no other material. Even though it still couldn't hold out for long under the monster's tearing, but... Edogawa Ranpo's eyes lit up: "Now!"
He growled, and because the monster did not break free immediately, Shinichi and he immediately pulled two thick iron chains and ran towards each other face to face with the monster as the center. The monster was tied up by the chains and his movements were stopped, but he didn't know if it was the effect of the previous medicine, he couldn't escape immediately, the chains bound him, and his hands were trapped on both sides of his body, and he struggled frantically.
"Hurry!" Shinichi and Ranpo took the risk to buckle the iron chain. They were very close to the monster and could see the chaotic and cruel murderous intent in his bulging eyes. They looked at each other, and one of them quickly fastened a section to the back of the car.
"Buzz buzz buzz--" The car started immediately, and the rapidly spinning tires rubbed against the ground, causing smoke to come out.
The iron chain was stretched straight, and the struggling monster was dragged to the ground, with the chain leaving a deep mark on the ground. It took him running quickly in one direction.
The roar of the monster, the sound of the car driving, and the sound of the chain dragging on the ground were all intertwined in the eardrums of several people. They followed behind as fast as they could, wanting to see the end of it all.
Fortunately, they didn't have to run for long, because the place they chose had taken this into consideration. They were afraid that the iron chain would not be able to trap the monster for too long, so they deliberately led it here. In less than half a minute, the car brought the monster to the seaside. It did not stop but continued to rush towards the terrifying sea ahead. Everyone was sweating in their hearts until the last moment, when a figure rolled out of the cab dangerously. The car dragged the monster and rushed into the sea in an instant.
Endless black and the strange red mist swallowed it up without raising any bubbles.
Wang Chuanshe stood up from the sand, patted the mud and sand stuck on his butler's uniform, and got rid of the slight embarrassment. He looked calm and confident again.
Everyone came here, and they all looked at the place where the monster was swallowed, as if to commemorate his defeat.
Pei Zhen cast his gaze at them from high above the sea. At that moment, everyone felt a sense of fear as if they were being stared at by an unknown existence. It came from this endless sea, from this overturned sky, from the distant front, and from a place that was beyond their reach. Their bodies trembled slightly without their control.
At the moment when the two spaces were completely merged, Pei Zhen almost instantly gained full control over the two story spaces. During these few seconds, Ranpo and his group could be said to be directly watched by the two "worlds". Until everything stopped, the terrifying feeling of being watched slowly subsided, and they finally regained their sanity.
"What happened just now..." Shinichi looked uncomfortable.
Ranpo shook his head at him, and everyone fell silent. After a long silence, Morishima Ai spoke up, breaking the silence: "Is this all over?"
No one mentioned the feeling just now. Wang Chuan She said: "Unless he can resist the force here and then fight back from the strong pressure of the sea water."
Shinichi twitched his eyes: "Don't tell jokes at this time."
Wang Chuan She laughed. He seemed to be smiling all the time, even when the situation was most dangerous. Ranpo glanced at him and had a feeling that this man was hiding some secrets. He was shrouded in endless mysteries. In the battle just now, he might not have used his full strength.
But it doesn't matter, it's all over. The Transcendent didn't seem to have any plans to introduce a third "story space", and he also had a feeling that he could go meet someone.
The sea calmed down and the darkness was still. They stood here as if standing at the edge of the world, and they ended their enemies as if a play was coming to an end. The viewers sighed and leaned back slightly, trying to relieve the fatigue of watching. However, the next moment, they heard the sound of someone entering.
Someone was coming towards them.
