The Ninth Secret Bureau

Vol 2 Chapter 24: Anticlimactic battle

In the gloomy southern part of the city, black snowflakes like embers fell in the sky, and the cold breath was like an unknown shadow, covering the narrow and deep lanes.

Pieces of black embers covered by the flame veins fell silently on the ground, like winter snowflakes falling on feathers, so quiet that no sound can be made, and the fleeting dim firelight will not have any The roadway of the lighting facility is flickering and dimming.

"Four...six...Eleven..."

Chen Xian held down the control button of the saw blade with his hand, and opened its blade completely with a squeaky sound, his hands seemed to be holding a weird and hideous giant axe, the pungent **** smell was like flood water from opening the gate. , Instantly poured out from the metal gap between the blade and the handle, and quickly filled the lane.

The cold and gloomy old alleyway was now covered with a strong smell of blood. With the light of a flashlight, Lu Yisheng glanced at Chen Xian from the corner of his eye, only to find that he could not see the outline of his figure, but could only see it. His eyes can faintly glow in the dark.

In the shadows, the thin Chen Xian didn't seem abrupt. It seemed that he himself was a part of the shadow, and he didn't resist the darkness around him at all. On the contrary, he seemed accustomed to it and even enjoyed it.

In fact, Chen Xian has been like this since he was a child.

He doesn't like to stand in places with light, and he doesn't dare to stand in front of people at will. He likes to find some corners where no one is quiet, because only this is the safest, at least he thinks so... ...The sense of security that darkness can bring to him is unparalleled, hiding himself has long become his nature, deeply embedded in his bones.

From a certain perspective, his various behaviors have long since deviated from the trajectory of normal human beings. The reason why he often suspects that he has a mental illness is also the reason.

"Can you get in touch with the outside world?" Chen Xian's voice suddenly came from the shadows, and he said unhurriedly, "The current situation is not consistent with the information they dictated. You can send it out and ask them to record it. Maybe it's right. It helps to solve the case."

Hearing Chen Xian’s voice, Lu Yisheng didn’t dare to hesitate, and quickly took out a small black box from his jacket pocket. When he pressed the red button on the left, a harsh electric current sounded from the speaker of the black box. .

"As they said, there seems to be something here that can block the signal." Lu Yisheng asked cautiously, "Boss, what should I do now?"

"At present, there are fifteen targets I can sense, and they are all located in the south, which is the place where we have just walked before. They may have ran out of those residential areas." Chen Xian said in a very soft voice. It is also very calm. His mood has not changed because of the current situation. "You are responsible for paying attention to the movement in the north. If there are other unfamiliar targets approaching us from the north, remember to call me."

"Call you?" Lu Yisheng was stunned, then looked back at Chen Xian, "Boss, what do you want to do? Don't you want to separate with me? I can't handle them alone!"

"It's okay, I can handle it."

Chen Xian walked slowly in the darkness along the shadows in the corner, and his tone was calm and scary when he talked to Lu Yisheng, as if he didn't take the current situation seriously.

At this time, Chen Xian's thin body exuded an extremely disturbing aura. He was not like a stranger about to step forward to meet the enemy, but like a beast dormant in the dark, approaching unhurriedly. The prey that hasn't shown up yet.

When Chen Xian passed by Lu Yisheng silently, Lu Yisheng couldn't help but shudder, and a feeling of fear appeared extremely suddenly, because he felt... that of Chen Xian. Double eyes are not the eyes that humans should have.

That kind of gaze hidden under the calm is enough to make any normal human feel terrified, even if his gaze is not on you, you will feel that you have become a prey to be slaughtered by him, as if you will be devoured by him at any time. Into the stomach.

"It's getting closer..."

Chen Xian murmured in his heart as if he was talking to himself, his hands gripped the handle of the knife tighter and tighter, every muscle on his body was mobilized as much as possible, and his body also leaned forward slightly in a half-bent over. attitude.

Slowly, Chen Xian took a few steps forward.

At this moment, those creatures walking in the darkness like him also gradually came into his eyes...

In the narrow and cramped lanes, dozens of twisted and skinny figures were walking towards Chen Xian rubbing their shoulders. Their walking postures were extremely strange. It seemed that their waists could not support their upper bodies. If you take a step forward, your body will swing out to a huge extent, making a disturbing sound...similar to the sound of wood being torn apart.

The information given to Chen Xian by the Armed Forces Division and the Investigation Division was not wrong. These target objects lurking in the room waiting for opportunities are indeed paper people, but they are different from paper people in the traditional sense.

Their bodies were not made of ordinary colored paper, and even Chen Xian wondered if the layer on their surface was paper?

In terms of visual texture, their "skin" looks like a kind of translucent plastic film, and the color is like an orange after oil corruption. Through this layer of skin that exudes a musty smell, Chen Xian can I vaguely saw the skeletal structure made of bamboo pieces in their bodies. Apart from these, Chen Xian also saw some things that he couldn't even believe.

The torso of these paper humans is covered with a thread-like network of blood and green, just like the blood vessel tissue and nerve tissue in the human body. Except for the absence of internal organs, the "physiological structure" of these paper humans is almost human!

"What are these things...Isn't this a paper man?!"

Lu Yisheng couldn't help exclaiming, and his face covered with fine sweat beads was also full of fear. Perhaps his voice was too loud to stimulate the existence of these abnormalities. Almost all the paper people turned their heads in an instant, ignoring the block. Chen Xian, who was in the middle of the lane, looked directly at Lu Yisheng, with a strange and stiff smile on his face.

At this moment, Chen Xian walked forward silently. At a distance of about 1.5 meters from the paper man, he suddenly raised the meat saw knife in his hand and chopped it down like an axe chopping wood.

Accompanied by a sound similar to the paper being smashed by a utility knife, the three paper figures in the front were directly split in half, and the meat saw knife was too strong because of Chen Xian's effort. It sank into the ground, leaving a huge crack about half a meter long on the concrete floor that had been baptized by the years.

Before the other paper men could react, Chen Xian raised the handle of the knife with a calm expression on his face, and pulled out the mottled saw blade from the ground, and slashed it one step further.

For Chen Xian, this kind of battle is really not the slightest challenge. The effort required to split the paper man is similar to that of chopping wood, and their reaction speed is lower than Chen Xian expected, and there is no chance to escape. This large "paper cutter".

The battle came quickly and ended quickly.

However, in just a few tens of seconds, under Chen Xian's operations like cutting melons and vegetables, the pungent stinky saw meat knife split the bodies of fifteen paper men one after another.

When the last paper man fell, Chen Xian frowned, feeling that the situation seemed a bit wrong.

These paper people...why are they so weak?

If their combat effectiveness is only at the current level, how could the Investigation Division die so many people? How could the soldiers of the Armed Division be so embarrassed?

At this level, even if there are more than a dozen of them, Lu Yisheng is more than enough to deal with them, right?

Chen Xian thought with a face full of confusion, looking at the wreckage of paper people everywhere, feeling a little confused but not daring to relax, still staring at them vigilantly.

"Boss... Is this done?" Lu Yisheng didn't react a little, looked at Chen Xian, then at the pile of debris on the ground, his expression became more and more confused, "Are you too strong or they are too weak? Is it done so soon?"

"Something's wrong."

Chen Xian frowned, took a step back, and distanced himself from the nearest stump of the paper man.

"The Yin Qi in their bodies has not escaped, it is still flowing...the flow is accelerating...they are still alive!"

When Chen Xian uttered the last sentence, all the remains of the paper men on the ground were like ripped paper shells blown up by the wind, shaking in a crazy earthquake, making a weird buzzing sound.

Under Chen Xian's vigilant gaze, the remnants of these paper men began to split gradually, and then...growth.

Their translucent surface "skin tissue" and the bones woven from bamboo and wood in their bodies seem to be able to grow freely at will, and every piece of remnant has fallen into a state of crazy growth——

"Do you remember what Chief Tu said?" Chen Xian asked nonchalantly, with a bit of astonishment in his eyes and a bit of insight, as if he had already guessed what would happen next.

"What did Section Chief Tu say?" Lu Yisheng was very nervous, unable to think of so much for a moment, and subconsciously asked Chen Xian, "What did he say?"

Chen Xian watched the weird changes in the remains of the paper man, and said word by word.

"They kill more and more, they can't kill them at all."
