Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 192 Let the legend shine into reality

Unlike mainland cities such as Backlund, Tingen, and Pritz Harbor, colonial islands such as Bansi lacked gas, and the street lights on both sides were sparse, and candles were wrapped in glass shades, waiting to be lit.

It is a pity that the wind rose early today, and according to the custom of Bansi Port, people here will not go out at night when there is heavy fog and severe weather changes.As a result, no one turned on the street lamps that were supposed to radiate light, and the road was pitch-black, only relying on the looming crimson moon in the clouds to illuminate the outline.

Carrying a dim yellow lantern and a hardwood cane, Klein, who was wearing a long black dress, walked along the dark and quiet street and quickly approached the Lime Restaurant under the guidance of Danitz.

Woo!
Amidst the whistling of the wind, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the mist, and instantly rushed towards the only light source in the darkness——

Klein with the lantern!

Without thinking, Klein swung his arm and forearm back and pulled out his cane violently.

boom!
As soon as the sudden black figure approached, it was drawn in the front, and flew backwards for a long time.

pat!

The viscous liquid fell to the ground along the end of the cane, leaving a blood-colored sticky stain, which was left by the cane when it hit the shadow.

At this time, Klein finally saw the real body of the black shadow clearly under the light of the lantern.

That's a 'person'!
The whole body is red, and the muscles, blood and skeleton are completely exposed to the air, but the flesh and blood are not complete, and the surface is uneven.It seems that the skinning person is not skilled enough to take away the excess flesh and blood.And on the inside of the thigh, there is still an obvious 'sag', where the flesh and blood have completely disappeared.It was as if someone had cut off a piece of it at the most 'fat' place, leaving only the bones with some muscles still attached.

'He' slowly got up from the ground, without the protection of the skin, the sticky flesh was covered with dust and gravel on the ground, and the blood was continuously falling down the body, leaving a pool of wet sticky stains.And at the connection with the neck, the head that should have appeared on it also disappeared, leaving only the thin bright red 'thin skin' supported by a circle of flesh and blood connected to the trachea, crumbling in the wind, as if at any time will fall off.

The strong visual impact brings people the most intuitive fear and horror!

"God Skin Messenger!"

Almost subconsciously, such a word emerged in the minds of Klein and Danitz at the same time.

Because the tragic scene of this person being skinned in front of them gave people a sense of déjà vu that was so strong that they almost instantly connected him with the legendary secret organization 'God Skin Messenger' who took pleasure in skinning!
"Damn it, the legend is true? I shouldn't have followed this lunatic ashore!"

Danitz's mood suddenly sank, and he cursed secretly in his heart.

But he cursed and cursed, but he didn't know when he had a classical revolver in his hand, and his elbow was pressed down, ready to shoot at any time.

At this time, he saw a pure and clear light descending from the sky, and landed on the monster that fell to the ground and was skinned by people.

Zizizi!
The flesh and blood were scorched and boiled, and the monster's body was quickly evaporated and melted, leaving no traces.

"'Sun' path? No, it should be a magical item."

Danitz looked at this scene with some surprise, and secretly pondered Gehrman Sparrow's method in his heart.But when she came back to her senses, she suddenly found that the light around her seemed much dimmer.

Looking up again, he realized that Gehrman Sparrow didn't wait for him at all. Holding his cane and lantern, he ran towards the distance in small steps, and the black dress was slightly raised back.And with his departure, Danitz has been completely exposed to the darkness!
... Shit!Wait for me...wait for me!Danitz's pupils shrank, and he strode after him, not daring to stay alone in the thin mist and gloomy environment.
-
Over Bansi Island, turquoise pea vines hang down from the sky, intertwining into a lush forest in the air.

The top of this forest cannot be seen upwards, and the vines formed different paths, interspersed or circled, all the way to the sky.In the forest, green plants are connected to form hammock-like seats, which sway gently at high places.

A woman with waist-length chestnut hair, an olive green dress, and an old-fashioned black bonnet sat on it, her calves in black leather boots swaying slightly.

The fine checkered gauze covered her face, but those blue eyes kept staring down, at Klein Moretti who was holding the lantern.

She asked softly:
"Do you want me to take action?"

"Do not."

The petite doll sat on her shoulders and said softly, "We just need to observe."

In order to break through the barrier of this world, she threw down many volunteers, and the Godskin Apostle was one of them.

But unlike the dark race 'Esti' who would be besieged once they appeared, the divine skin apostles survived successfully.But this was not in her plan, she never considered that these dropped creatures could survive, because the gods of this world cannot tolerate any contamination by alien species.

But the godskin apostle survived successfully, and even went through a certain period of development and growth. She wanted to know why.

Inside the Lime Restaurant.

The wealthy businessman Uldi Blanche looked at his bodyguard Cleves with some hesitation.

Fox, the owner of Lime Lemon Restaurant, suggested that they stay here, because according to the customs of the island, in Bansi, it is best not to go out at night when there is heavy fog and severe weather changes, and do not respond to knocks on the door.

Uldi Blanche felt that the customs here should be respected, and staying for one night would not delay their itinerary, because the White Agate would set sail tomorrow.

But her daughter Donna seemed to be very eager to go back to the boat, and she seemed to be full of fear here.Although Uldi felt that this was just a child's imagining, there was still a little uneasiness in his heart.

Facing the eyes of his employer, Cleves was silent for a while.

According to his original experience, at this time, he should follow Fox's suggestion and stay overnight at the Lime Lemon Restaurant, but he thought of Gehrman Sparrow's reminder that there was a hidden danger in Bancy Port.

Cleves quickly made a decision and said after deliberation:

"Mr. Blanche, please trust my profession."

"If there's a problem, it's more dangerous to stay here, with guns on board, sailors with guns and knives."

"it is good!"

Uldi was already hesitant, and this reason was right in his arms, completely convincing him.

He motioned for Cleves to open the door, and the group left the restaurant step by step.

The wind outside is low, the darkness is deep, and the mist is filled, as if there are many monsters hiding.This made people feel frightened, and almost subconsciously wanted to go back to the restaurant with the shelter of lights behind them.

Bang!

However, at this moment, the door of the restaurant was suddenly closed, making it impossible for them to return.

At this time, they were like ships in a storm, and they were the only ones left in the world.

Cleves walked ahead with a lantern, and suddenly saw a figure stumbling towards them.

He subconsciously raised the lantern to take a closer look, but when he really saw the man's appearance clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank!
It was indeed a person, but there was indeed a headless, 'wet' person with only flesh and bones left!He obviously has no head, no skin, but he is still 'alive'!
This horrifying scene made everyone fall into fear. It was the first time they had seen such a terrifying and weird thing.

Cleves was the first to react, subconsciously pulling out the revolver to shoot.

But as soon as he took out the gun, another thought that frightened him appeared in Cleves' mind:

Can a 'person' without a head or skin really be killed by a gun?

But at this moment, they saw the light.

The light descended from the sky, like the blessing and divine punishment from an angel, making the flesh and blood monster disappear into nothingness in a burst of 'sizzling' sound.

"This..." Urdi and the others swallowed their saliva with difficulty, their bodies trembling.

At this moment, they saw a dim yellow light approaching from the depths of the fog.

It was a figure carrying a lantern, with a neat half-height silk top hat, a double-breasted long dress that was the same color as the night, and a face with clear lines, revealing a clear sense of sharpness in his sternness.

"Uncle Sparrow..." Donna and Denton blurted out.

They just feel that their minds become stable at once.

Klein threw the lantern to Danitz beside him, carried his cane over, and said calmly to Cleves and the others:

"Go to the telegraph office first.

"Where's the Dimordo family?"

"Demodo...

"They're still in the dining room."

Uldi Blanche subconsciously replied.

Boom boom boom!
Klein knocked on the restaurant's door friendly, but there was no response from inside. The people inside seemed to be following the custom of not responding to knocking in foggy weather.

After knocking on the door to no avail, 'Gehrman Sparrow' kicked open the door of the restaurant politely.

Had a short and friendly exchange with Fox, the owner of the Lime Lemon restaurant, and took away the ignorant newlyweds, the Dimodos, who were still in the restaurant.

Led by Klein, they left the restaurant.

But he didn't go directly back to the ship, but continued towards the telegraph office not far away.

Along the way, they encountered several flesh and blood monsters that lost their heads and skins.

Without exception, they were all easily eliminated by Klein, but this didn't make him feel at ease.

These skinned monsters are not a threat, but Klein can faintly sense that the real danger comes from their 'lost' heads and skins!The 'God Skin Messenger' who cut off their heads and skin is the real threat!
Klein didn't want to conflict with the members of this secret organization, he just wanted to take them back to the ship after finding Ireland.

The wind was getting weaker and the fog was thinner, and a group of people walked quietly and hurriedly on the street without passers-by, closely following Gehrman Sparrow, as if only in this way could they feel a little bit at ease.

tread!tread!
boom!
The sound of hurried footsteps and gunshots came from a distance, and it was heard far away on the empty street.

Cleves raised his gun almost subconsciously, but was stopped by Klein raising his hand.

Cleves looked up suspiciously, only to see Klein shaking his head at him.

Although he hesitated, he lowered his gun.

After all, they were able to survive until now thanks to Klein's protection, so they can only trust him at this time.

Finally, as the footsteps got closer, a dim light emerged, approaching from the depths of the mist, and two figures gradually entered the lighting range of the lantern.

And Klein also saw clearly the appearance of the person at the front. He was wearing a dark red thick coat and white loose trousers. It was Elland!
It's just that the boat-shaped hat on the captain's head has disappeared, and he looks quite embarrassed.

Elland also found Klein and his party under the lantern, but he wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he shouted in horror:

"Quick, run!"

Cleves, who was about to go up to pick him up, was stunned again, and subconsciously looked behind Elland.

Behind him was another figure, a middle-aged man with a lantern.But his figure is extraordinarily bloated, he is three meters tall but looks like a fat man who weighs more than two thousand catties!
And this bloat comes from the loose fat piled up on his chest and abdomen.

And beside him, in the permeating mist, several dark 'balls' slowly emerged.

Under the illumination of the lantern, they finally saw the appearance of the 'round ball' clearly.

Those were heads that lost their bodies and hung from their esophagus!
The head was floating in mid-air, and the face seemed to be covered with mould-stained shriveled cheese. The skin that was dripping with yellow-green liquid was obviously loose and drooping, but outlined the outline of the bones.

There are only two black holes left on its nose, its eyes are white and black, and bulge out, and most of its lips are rotten, revealing the sharp teeth mixed with blood!

Klein stared at the opposite bishop indifferently. He was still wondering where the heads of those 'monsters' went, and now the answer is obvious.

But now that the heads have appeared, where did their skins go?
Klein subconsciously looked at the middle-aged man again, this time as the man approached, Klein saw it more clearly.

He finally saw clearly that this was not a fat man!
What is loosely piled up on his chest is not the fat that grows naturally, but the fresh skin that has been sewn together piece by piece!

What he was wearing was a robe made of smooth skin!

The skin that has just been peeled off still has residual grease, which reflects light under the illumination of the lantern, making it look soft and elastic.

However, because the other party's skinning skills were not good enough, a lot of flesh and blood flowed from the skin when the skin was peeled, and it was dripping from the inside of the 'clothes' as the middle-aged man walked around!
"Such clothes should be comfortable to wear, right?"

It was obviously quite a horrifying scene, but such an idea appeared in the minds of Tang Na and the others for no reason.

"God Skin Messenger!"

Danitz also had this idea, but he was quickly noticed and suppressed.

This made his heart shudder, and made him truly realize that the legend on this island seems to be more than just a legend!
