Chapter 193 Something is wrong with this world (I)
Those arms seemed to be grabbing everywhere unconsciously, but the sea urchin set its sights on Ash. It rushed over the moment it spotted Ash. Its speed was not fast, but even Zeus could see its movement trajectory clearly.
This is completely different from what the banshees reported.
Is it because of the difference between the sea and the shore? Hughes didn't dare to disturb Ash's battle, so he opened a private chat to ask Nini.
"It wasn't like this before, was it?"
"No, in the sea it is extremely fast, and everything it passes by will be crushed. Why has it become like this now?"
Nini was also shocked. The monster with arms was too weird and twisted. And why did these arms look so much like human arms? Whether it was the polluted beasts, polluted snakes, sea urchin monsters or fishmen in the abyss, they had no connection with humans. Why did this sea urchin suddenly grow human arms when it came ashore? This was really too bizarre.
Ash easily led the arm monster around for a few rounds. Once it lost its terrifying speed, it was just an ordinary enemy that posed little threat. At most, it looked a little strange. Ash tried to chop off a few arms with a knife, and black liquid flowed from the broken parts of the arms, as thick as oil.
After some testing, Ash led the monster to the ambush point. Soon an explosion was heard, and the monster's flesh and blood was blown everywhere.
The explosion left only a small part of it, and its tattered and twisted arms were swinging weakly on the ground, but it was not dead, and was even recovering quickly. Ash frowned and threw another bomb into it to completely kill it. The effect of the bomb exploding on the shore is not as good as in the water, but the advantage is that the user is much safer.
"Its vitality is quite strong, and its recovery ability is also good, but its other good points are unremarkable."
Lacking the sea urchin's high speed and unstoppable strength, nor any new abilities, these arms seemed to be nothing more than scary looking.
The banshees came out from their hiding places and looked at each other in bewilderment at the body parts on the ground.
They had spent so much effort preparing for such a long time, and in the end, the enemy was defeated just like that? Even the most obtuse person could sense that something was wrong. Whether it was the fishmen or the sea urchin monsters, they all seemed to have undergone an inexplicable distortion, and this did not make them stronger. Instead, these enemies were all pitifully weak, just a little ugly in appearance.
The sea was calm and no more monsters appeared. After observing for a while, Zeus also walked out of the webway. The crowd made way for him and he slowly walked to the monster's body.
The changes in the sea urchin were so strange that he decided to come and see for himself.
Zeus picked up a severed hand, which was cut off by Ash's long sword. The broken end was very smooth. After wiping the black liquid with a handkerchief, the broken surface was revealed.
There are bones, which seem to be similar to those of humans. As for the structures of muscles and blood vessels, Xu Si doesn't know much about them. At first glance, there seems to be no problem. The skin on the hands is covered with twisted lines, which have now dimmed.
After thinking for a while, he turned the severed hand over again, looked at the palm and examined it carefully.
As a result, this time the observation time was much longer than before, and Zeus's expression gradually became strange.
Richard on the side was a little confused. He was standing next to Hughes and he saw the severed hand. With his many years of experience in human anatomy, he didn't see anything wrong.
Besides, it's normal for this kind of monster to grow any kind of limbs.
"My Lord, have you found anything?"
"Yes." Hughes' face was gloomy. He picked up the severed hand and showed it to Richard and the witches. "Look at the fingerprints on this hand."
Richard certainly knew about fingerprints. Everyone's fingerprints are different. It is said that experienced patrolmen can use them to solve cases, but what is so strange about fingerprints?
He took the severed hand from Hughes and looked closer. After a while, a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
This severed hand has fingerprints, but only on three fingers, two have none. Only part of the palm has palm lines, the other part is empty.
It was as if a skilled sculptor had thrown his work halfway through to a shoddy apprentice, or as if a painter had drawn a detailed horse head but had a child sketch the body and limbs.
Half of the hand is lifelike, showing the natural beauty of the human body, while the other half is used for official business.
A strange feeling gripped Richard's heart, like a sticky and cold big hand, making him shiver uncontrollably.
Hughes handed the severed hand to Richard and turned to look at the other arms on the ground. The banshees also came forward to help check.
Soon, the arm monster was checked.
"Some hands have fingerprints, some don't, some bones are normal, and some just look 'normal' but the structure is extremely chaotic."
"This monster"
Weird, chaotic, twisted, crazy, many words emerged in Hughes' mind. Finally, he just shook his head and said, "This operation was successful. Everyone go back and rest. We should dissect the monster's body first. Mr. Richard, thank you for your help."
Richard nodded. "No problem, Lord, you can leave the interrogation of the fishmen to me. The Fire Moth is also good at this."
The Banshees began to clean up the battlefield, and Richard hurriedly left with the corpses and the captive murlocs. Zeus returned to the cathedral with a worried look on his face. He had set aside a separate room here as his office.

There is no decoration or furniture in the room, just a simple table. Zeus has a lot of things to deal with, and he estimates that there will be people coming and going here in the future just like the manor.
But Hughes really didn't expect that the place would be crowded with people now.
He stood at the door and looked into the house in surprise.
Connor, Alexi, Chloe, Una and others were all in the house. Almost all the top leaders of Castel were here. You know, they were all very busy after the war started, and Hughes might not be able to find them all even if he called them.
Hughes' heart skipped a beat, and he had a very bad feeling. What kind of big event could bring everyone together? You know, when the fishmen and sea urchins attacked just now, only he and Ash went to the scene.
"If you're in any trouble, just tell me."
He took a few deep breaths, slowly walked to the desk, and looked at everyone.
But after the people in the room looked at each other, their expressions became strange. They hesitated and looked as if they found it difficult to speak.
"My Lord, this is actually good news."
“I have good news here too.”
"And here I am."
Hughes blinked, his face confused.
