Chapter 114 Leonard Has a Big Secret
Raphael knew very well that the most terrifying thing in the extraordinary world was the invisible danger.
Because if you encounter such danger, you might die in a daze without even understanding what's happening.
Now, Raphael is in such danger.
At that moment, the person from the stairwell came out with a "thump-thump" sound.
It was a human-shaped mass of flesh and blood, which looked very thin. Thick, fresh blood kept squeezing out of the flesh and blood, and then being sucked back in.
The other person's face was like a thick mask, and it was trembling incessantly, as if trying to make some kind of expression, but it also seemed like a person with facial paralysis, unable to express any emotion.
Then the face opened its completely white eyes, and then its lips moved slightly, revealing some oddly shaped teeth.
Although Raphael was in great pain from being choked, he was "alive" and did not feel suffocated, so he still had the mind to look for clues to break the deadlock.
This "flesh and blood man" was naturally his main subject of observation. At this moment, he noticed that the other party's teeth were not teeth at all, but segments of finger bones.
The "flesh and blood man" finally managed to squeeze out a painful expression, but because of the "strange" shape of his eyes and teeth, he looked extremely ferocious, terrifying, or rather, unsettling.
It feels like bumping into an acquaintance on the street. Normally, you'd greet each other and say hello. But then one day, you bump into that acquaintance on the street, and they cut open their chest with a dagger and pull out their bleeding heart to show you.
This can be quite unexpected and terrifying.
Similarly, it wouldn't matter if this "flesh and blood man" roared or cursed. But instead, it "squeezed out an unsettling expression of pain." Thinking of this, Raphael suddenly realized that the other party was imitating him and Leonard.
Because after the "flesh-and-blood man" showed a pained expression, he was still mimicking their frantic grabbing motions.
The other party's movements seemed a bit hesitant at first, but it quickly seemed to have found the "essence," and it seemed to be struggling as if something was choking it.
Although the "flesh-and-blood man's" movements were somewhat strange, Raphael realized that the problem probably wasn't with the man.
Raphael struggled to turn his head and continue searching. He glanced again at Leonard, who had the air of a poet. This member of the "Red Gloves" was in more pain than Raphael at this moment because he still needed to breathe. His trachea was being choked, and the most unbearable thing was the desperate feeling of suffocation.
Then, Rafael noticed Leonard's shadow.
There was a brazier in the corridor, burning slowly.
Regardless of the fuel used, it would have burned out long ago after more than a thousand years. The flames in this fortress are actually maintained by those ghosts.
This is somewhat like the change that collective will brings to the real world. When all the ghosts in the fortress believe that the brazier is still burning normally, then the flames in the brazier will still be burning.
Because of the flames, both Raphael and Leonard cast shadows on the corridor floor. Raphael noticed that Leonard's shadow was strangling itself!
Raphael seemed to realize something and immediately looked at his shadow, only to find his shadow also pinching itself with both hands!
It can't be called self-harm if the shadow is harming itself, since shadows don't breathe; it's the shadow attacking the main body in this way.
Raphael tried to suppress the shadow by suppressing the evil spirit, but it didn't work.
Raphael quickly infused the "hypnotic ring" with spiritual energy to "hypnotize" the shadow, but it still had no effect.
At this moment, Raphael also felt dizzy. Although he did not need to breathe, his cervical spine felt like it was about to be broken, and his tongue was sticking out a long way.
He cursed inwardly: "Damn it, you're usually so enthusiastic about speaking up, why are you so silent now? We're about to be wiped out!"
The "killer personality" quickly said: Don't rush, don't rush, I'm thinking, I'm thinking—look at that extraordinary cop! Look at his shadow!
Out of the corner of his eye, Raphael saw the shadow of a hand suddenly emerging from Leonard's chest.
He quickly looked at Leonard's chest, but there was nothing there!
Only a shadow, but no substance?
Looking at the shadow again, the hand on its chest reached towards its head and grabbed at its neck. Suddenly, the shadow lowered its hands.
Raphael felt that the shadow suddenly became blank, as if its current thoughts had been taken away, and it didn't know what to do next.
"Cough cough—"
Leonard knelt on the ground, coughing and breathing rapidly. His eyes were somewhat vacant, as if his thoughts had been taken away from him, except for breathing and coughing.
Raphael quickly looked away. He felt he had discovered a great secret, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
But he knew very well that if that "secret" found out he knew this secret, he would be in even greater danger than he was now!
So Raphael struggled earnestly, trying his best to act out the state of being choked.
Actually, there was no need to act; Raphael felt like his neck was about to be snapped.
But in the heat of the moment, he suddenly realized that the damage caused by "choking" was transmitted from the shadow to the body through the close connection between the shadow and the body. Normally, this connection was in a relatively hidden state, but now it had been suddenly triggered by the other party.
Thinking of this, Raphael immediately used the "Hypnotic Ring" to "hypnotize" himself: "Release your hand—Release your hand—"
Since the shadow can affect the body, the body must also be able to affect the shadow!
Finally, Shadow loosened his grip, and Raphael rubbed his neck and coughed.
He coughed as he quickly retreated behind Leonard, letting the person with the secret take the lead.
At this moment, Raphael noticed that the "flesh and blood man" was no longer imitating him and Leonard, but was staring at Leonard with his completely white eyes.
Clearly, it had also noticed the unusual behavior of Leonard.
So Rafael took another step back, further highlighting Leonard.
The next second, this strange standoff ended, and Raphael's three "Iron Corpses" suddenly broke free from his control and attacked Leonard together.
At the same time, the mass of flesh and blood next to Ms. S's human skin suddenly exploded, and for a moment a cloud of blood mist blocked Raphael's view.
Leonard seemed to have just come to his senses, but he reacted quickly, first jumping back to avoid the blood mist, and then using his cane to knock one of the "Iron Corpses" away.
Raphael then seized control of "Iron House," and soon he succeeded.
This means that the "flesh and blood person" has left.
The blood mist quickly dissipated, and when Raphael looked at the end of the corridor again, the "flesh monster" had indeed disappeared.
Leonard cleared his throat and said, "'Degeneration' and 'Shadow'."
This is reminiscent of the abilities of the "Mystic" pathway.
Raphael shared the same view: "No wonder it attracted Ms. S."
Behind this exploration, there seems to be the shadow of the "law of aggregation of extraordinary properties".
Then he asked, "Do you want to continue exploring?"
Leonard touched his neck: "It's been choked like this, of course I can't just leave like this, I have to at least choke it a little more."
Raphael smiled slightly: You do indeed have something to rely on.
