Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 37 The Mouse Apartment
The sound of loading came from behind. Pearson had seen many ugly ghouls with his own eyes, and the even more deformed ghoul had also appeared in his sight.

This is just a human-sized rat monster, but it's not that scary anymore.

The other servants of the Draper family more or less showed some characteristics of mice on their bodies, but compared to Mrs. who completely turned into a big black mouse, these servants were just like Halloween dressed as a mouse Just people.

But the black spikes growing from the tips of their fingers were obviously more than just decoration.

"Pilson, there are no missing persons records nearby."

Qi Wen asked inexplicably. She seemed to know a lot of secrets about this rat monster, as well as related knowledge about cult sacrifices.

But I just didn’t tell them clearly.

Pearson was a little embarrassed. He had only recently joined the patrol and had no idea about the issue of missing persons.

Amanda rolled over from the sofa and began to evade the pursuit of the servants.

The lady focused all her attention on Qi Wen, who had an obviously stronger aura, and moved her ugly body to pounce on him.

Although Pearson had a gun, he could only try to shoot those servants who came close to him.

He was not yet sure that he could kill the monster without accidentally injuring Qi Wen or Amanda.

Gunshots rang out. These guys were not as tough as ghouls, and they didn't have to be shot in the head to kill them.

The problem is that they are agile enough, have inherited the characteristic that rats are hard to catch, and there are many of them.

At this moment, all the servants in the apartment are coming here.

It seems that this place has turned into a den of humanoid rats for a day or two. I don’t know why, but no one noticed it.

Qi Wen had already started fighting with his wife.

Although the rat was not tall, the disgusting pustular acid liquid still flowed on those stinky and decaying bodies. Even if it had no corrosive effect, no one would want to touch it.

But Qi Wen didn't care about any of this. He allowed those disgusting traces to stain his clothes and directly contacted the monster's body with his fists to repel it.

"Even if you turned into a mouse, your strength didn't increase much."

Qi Wen was still thinking about mocking while fighting, causing his wife to scream, and her entire rat-like body squatted down on the ground, finally no longer trying to fight in a standing position.

At this time, Amanda and Pearson were already being chased by a large number of rat servants, running around along the alleys of the apartment.
It's not like Amanda didn't think about the power of Omega to destroy these monsters in one fell swoop.

But these rats are still in a state where they can be eliminated by humans. Consuming Omega's power should not make him faint directly, but the loss of physical strength is definitely not enough for him to continue fighting.

In order to save the energy to deal with the more powerful deep divers and Kiri Elode believers, Amanda is still preparing to run out of the apartment on her own strength, looking for the patrols nearby who have begun patrolling to solve these problems. monster.

As for Qi Wen?

That guy fought against what looked like the most powerful monster all by himself, and he was also a disciple of the academy professor, so there was no need for them to worry.

Amanda recalled the way she came, all the twists and turns, and had to avoid the rat servants who jumped out of the corridor from time to time.

He even got separated from Pearson.

He could also hear infrequent gunshots, indicating that Pearson was not in a desperate situation.

All he needs to do is avoid the enemies chasing him and reach the outside safely.

Why did it sound so much like a game mission to escape from the scene after a failed infiltration? It also made Amanda play the last game before her time travel, "A Plague Tale: Innocence", where she took the two siblings to hide and seek to avoid the enemy.

But soon Amanda realized that these rat servants were no longer simply encircling, but more like controlling the movement of livestock, forcing themselves into a certain area.

This intention was clearly stated, making it difficult for Amanda to resist as a human being. She had to follow the increasingly rare escape routes and go to the location expected by the enemy.

It was an attic with a tower structure with a skylight on the top, from which one could climb out.

But how to get back to the ground from the roof, no one has the answer.

When Amanda opened the attic door, she smelled a disgusting smell of blood.

In the dim sight, the floor of the attic was densely covered with a layer of animal fur, with blood stains that had not yet been washed away. Every few places, there were tiny pale animal bone structures piercing out.

This is the cafeteria where the rats ate the cats, leaving only a pile of leftovers with little edible value.

Amanda could only step on it, and the feeling was even more uncomfortable than stepping on the liquid secreted by Magnia before.And this time there was no transformation, and there was no light covering the body.

The hot and rotten feeling touched the body, penetrated the shoes and trouser legs, and every step was a huge torture.

"Meow-"

Amanda suddenly looked up. Above the tower-shaped skylight of the attic, a cat with dark and silky hair was leaning in front of the window. Its jewel-like eyes were looking at Amanda curiously.

The voices of the rat servants behind them became louder and louder, and they became calmer when they arrived.

Anyone who runs away from here has no way to escape anyway.

They've eaten nasty cats, so now they can try those nasty, human tastes.

Amanda endured her nausea and went to the attic skylight and began to climb the ladder.The cat at the top of the attic was not scared away, but stayed in place.

The door to the attic was pushed open again, and the rat servants swarmed in, gearing up, staring at Amanda on the ladder with greedy and hungry eyes.

Amanda looked at these people helplessly, and after she understood why Walter was going crazy, she kept saying that she was not a mouse.

Instead, it will imitate itself as a mouse.

Living in such an environment and witnessing his wife and servants eating cats and acting like mice, it would be strange not to be frightened to death.

Perhaps subconsciously, he thought that as long as he imitated a mouse, he would not be harmed.

Maybe if Walter didn't run out today, he would be assimilated into a mouse form or be eaten directly in a short time?
Just like the cat pets he domesticated.

Panting lightly, Amanda finally climbed to the top of the attic, pushed open the skylight, and leaned half of her body out.

The black cat jumped up, lay on Amanda's shoulders, and gently arched the back of Amanda's neck. Its front paws stretched out and were fixed on the tie of the patrol uniform, without hurting the skin.

At this time, the mouse servants had arrived at the bottom of the ladder, looking up at Amanda in the darkness.

Their eyes stared with a terrible yellow light, their jawbones rubbed together with their teeth, and countless tiny squeaks came together until the first rat servant climbed up the ladder.
