Life as a mercenary turned into a girl is a bit difficult

"Ha ha……"

While panting violently, he did not rush to dig out half of his body buried in the soil. 'Hiiragi' looked blankly at her hands covered with soil.

There is only endless dullness in his eyes, and his actions of staring at his hands are just meaningless daze.The body is obviously still alive, but it exudes the aura of death. There is no thinking, no consciousness, and only instinct drives the body.

The tattered clothes also have burnt marks, and the hair and skin are stained with earthy dirt. In the eyes of anyone walking in the wasteland, compared to a human being, 'Hiiragi Jing' at this time is more like... a lifeless animal. of ordinary walking corpses.

Suddenly, as if she noticed something, Hiiragi suddenly raised her head and looked in a certain direction - that was the center of the crater, where the fog was.

Faint black shadows are looming in the gradually thinning fog, and the weak blue fluorescence has taken over the dominance from the fog, blooming its own light, and peeling away the surrounding fog at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ho..."

The meaningless moan was just a breath that unconsciously touched the vocal cords as it came out of her throat, but the change of emotion in her eyes changed from dullness to incomparable desire. Even she didn't know what was hidden in the mist. What.

Just like a newborn baby's instinctive desire for motherly nourishment, she stretched out her shaking hands forward, pulled out her legs from the mud layer, and slowly approached in that direction with a staggering pace.

After the bombardment, there is still a scorching high temperature in the air, especially in the area near the center of the crater. Every breath is burning the lungs. There is no response to these "quiet", ignoring the danger, only moving forward, like It's the same as the group of monsters that are constantly approaching Area 01A.

Finally, Hiiragi stood in front of the fog. As she walked, the light blue light gradually turned into bright white, and the fog completely dissipated into pure light reflected in her pupils.

The light ball floats quietly at a height of more than one meter above the ground. You can touch its depth by simply reaching forward. Without a moment's hesitation or pause, Hiiragi inserted both of his forward arms into it.

"Buzz!!!"

A huge buzzing sound sounded in the ears without warning, and accompanied by a fierce strong wind blowing from the light group, the original soft white light also turned into a dazzling light at this moment, a beam of light shot straight into the sky, and the whole world seemed to be gone. Overwhelmed by such bright light.

The light beam witnessed by the security team that night was once again essentially repeated, and it all came to an abrupt end when 'Hiiragi Jing''s hands actually touched the center of the light group.

The roar, light, wind and waves... all disappeared without a trace, and the crater seemed to return to the second before it was about to touch the light group, as if everything that had just happened was an unreal illusion.

Chapter 63 Confronting the Witch

The brief vision lasted only a few seconds, and the protagonist in the crater disappeared with these visions, triggering all inexplicable changes, and directly leading to the culprit of the monster chaos that spread to the entire JD abandoned city.

No, it did not disappear. What disappeared was just the outer layer of light and the fog that had previously enveloped it. When these were faded away layer by layer, it was more like it had completed a final transformation and stayed in the quiet place with a brand new attitude. In the hands.

If Hiiragi Jing was sane at this time, she would definitely be shocked by the existence in her hands. She would never imagine that the thing that led to all this and attracted countless monsters, witches and senior researchers could be so... ordinary.

The thing in the hands looks like an ordinary glass bead that children like to play with. The difference is that the transparent sphere in the hand is slightly larger in size. The outside is a hard shell made of an unknown material, and the transparent inside is It looks like there are countless crystal particles floating and swimming in it.

Of course, the description of 'ordinary' is limited to the appearance. Only when you actually touch it can you deeply realize its specialness. The touch is not the coolness of the glass, but the temperature close to body temperature, which is even more unbelievable. What's surprising is that there is a faint illusion of rhythm, glowing with vitality like a beating heart.

And that frequency does not remain unchanged, but is constantly adjusted from rhythm to rhythm, constantly matching the heartbeat frequency of the holder. When the two frequencies are more consistent, a stronger feeling will be generated in the heart of the holder. I felt a strong impulse, and under this inexplicable attraction, I couldn't move my eyes away from it.

Want to possess it, want...want...to swallow it!

I don't know why such an idea came to my mind, but my uncontrollable desire surged. Stimulated by my appetite, saliva secreted quickly from the corners of my mouth and dripped down my chin. Hiiragi didn't care about her indecent image. , there was only this crystal in her eyes, and at this moment she looked like a walking corpse that had found its prey.

Finally, the rising desire overwhelmed Hiiragi's last remaining hesitation, and the hands holding the round crystal slowly lifted up and inserted it into the open mouth...

"Stop!!!"

Seeing that he was unable to stop Hiiragi's actions, the tyrant who was flying towards him condensed the black smoke around him, shook his hand vigorously in Hiiragi's direction, and threw the giant scythe that he had accumulated for a long time.

The rotating giant scythe turned into a rolling giant wheel, quickly approaching Hiiragi Jing's body.The tyrant made up his mind: If he couldn't stop the other party from swallowing it, he would split her open before she was completely digested, and then search for it from her broken body.

Since he did not follow her advice, it also means that the other party has decided to stand on the opposite side of her and is ready to face death.

The moment the crystal that was put into her mouth came into contact with the saliva in Hiiragi's mouth, the hard shell suddenly softened, as if it really came to life. Before Hiroyuki could swallow it, it easily slid down her throat and into her body. There was not even the slightest obstacle in the process.

Hiiragi Jing, who had swallowed the crystal, seemed to be frozen in place, without any real feeling of swallowing, as if she had just swallowed a big mouthful of meaningless air. Just as she was suspiciously recalling the feeling just now, a violent electric current suddenly passed from her. The pain welled up in the lower abdomen and spread throughout the body in just the blink of an eye. The extreme pain choked the throat, and even the intermittent breathing could not let out a cry of pain.

"haha a……"

It continues to erode every part of the body, every inch of nerve, and every bone. Protruding blood vessels appear from underneath the skin, and the tight pupils are surrounded by dense bloodshot eyes.

It was as if something was rushing through the body, trying desperately to break free from the cage of confinement. His trembling body tensed up in the severe pain that swept through his body, and he could only stand stiffly in place, unable to move.

"call--"

For the giant scythe that was about to roar, Hiiragi, who could not move at this time, was undoubtedly the best fixed target. It seemed that even the black smoke used for guidance seemed dispensable.

"boom!"

However, the scene that the tyrant expected did not appear. At the moment when the flying blade was about to cut Hiiragi's body, the originally calm ground under Hiiragi's feet suddenly opened with several cracks, and an unknown mass appeared among the lightning and flint. The black substance broke through the cover of the soil and emerged from it, hitting the flying giant scythe head-on.

"!"

The black mucus did not catch the sickle's blade head-on, but was attracted to the rotating blade of the sickle from the side. It pulled hard with the ground as a fulcrum like a spring. The sickle that was dragged into the soil continued to rotate without losing momentum, wrestling. Both sides set off a huge burst of dust, and the swirling hurricane swept everything in its path. Although it could not completely stop the scythe's flight, it was enough.

The interference of external force abruptly changed the flying trajectory of the giant scythe. The wide blade missed Hiroyuki just inches from her body, and a few strands of hair fell from the back of her head and merged into the flying dust.

The smooth linear cut left on the ground began to deflect significantly from a few meters away, and the black mucus returned to the ground after completing its mission, and slowly shrank toward Hiiragi's feet until it disappeared.

At this time, most of the pain that spread throughout his body had faded away. Hiiragi, who was kneeling on the ground, held his body forward with his hands and panted violently.

The tyrant who was approaching Hiiragi Jing suddenly stopped. The forward momentum carried her body forward and continued to slide forward for several meters before stopping. The opponent's state seemed harmless, but just now it was strange. The sight was enough to keep her on her toes.

what is that?

Under the hood, the tyrant frowned deeply, staring at Hiiragi's feet while recalling the scene he had seen before. It looked like crude oil buried underground, and like mud that had settled for a long time. But it was clearly neither of those, and the mere sight of such sheer filth disgusted her beyond measure.

"How filthy, how filthy..."

The frowning tyrant whispered her thoughts in a low voice. She raised her right hand towards the void. The weak and thin black smoke connected the sickle she had just thrown out with her palm. The next second, the sickle embedded deep in the ground It answered her call and spun back to fly back into her hand.

Although the situation was beyond her expectation, she could not give up. She could feel the chaotic and raging energy in Hiiragi Jing's body, which showed that the 'seed' still existed intact in the other party's body and had not been completely integrated, which meant that she was still There is a chance to seize it.

In order to get to this point, she has already sacrificed too much. She spent several months investigating the maturity stage of the 'seed', killed countless competitors along the way, and was even forced twice by those cunning humans. Towards death, but in the end, this unexpected guy picked the fruit. The tyrant absolutely cannot accept the result of getting nothing.

"What...are you? When did you come here? You obviously have the same kind of aura..." It seemed that the voice coming from the tyrant caught his attention. Hiiragi raised her head, and her dull and blank eyes met the tyrant's gaze. , the sloppy look with a mouth full of drool made her frown a little deeper, and also made her realize that the other party would not be able to reply to the previous question.

"Did you try to possess it but ended up losing your mind due to the 'seed'? What a fragile soul..."

As he spoke, the tyrant pointed the giant scythe in his hand at Hiiragi Jing, and the remaining black smoke returned to her side: "Instead of this or this, it is better for me to give you real relief, and then let me take back what I deserve. .”

'boom! '

The cost of forcibly condensing the black smoke was that the wounds on her body burst open again, and she could feel the blood on her back flowing out again. However, the tyrant who was bent on killing Hiiragi no longer cared about her injuries. As long as she regained the 'seed', her body would be It can be saved from the brink of collapse.

In the black shadow under the cloak, the blood-red eyes became more and more profound. Even though Hiiragi Jing, who was sitting there blankly, had no self-awareness, it also made her sense of danger more sensitive. When the tyrant just stepped forward, As soon as she took one step, the killing intent that hit her made her tense up.

"boom!"

The tyrant's figure flashed closer, and the black mud appeared again, and this time it did not come from the ground, but from Hiiragi's sleeves.

A giant net made of black sludge shrouded the approaching tyrant, but when the giant net came into contact with the black smoke on the tyrant's body, it melted away like ice.

The failure of the resistance allowed the tyrant to successfully get close to Hiiragi Jing, and swung down the sickle stained with the aura of death.

"puff!"

A large piece of silt suddenly bloomed from the chest and gathered into a ball to block the incoming sickle blade in front of him. The dense silt spread along the handle and attacked the tyrant.

"clumsy."

The tyrant released his hands holding the handle of the knife, turned around and threw a whip kick at Hiiragi's waist.With considerable force, Hiei Jing was kicked away, and the mud that had originally hit him was immediately dispersed.

Just as Hiiragi was rolling on the ground and wanted to get up, the hard blow from her knees on her back pushed her into the soil again. No matter how hard she struggled, it was of no avail. She could only make a horrified "ho ho" sound from her throat. .

"Quiet, don't move."

The skyrocketing black smoke dispersed the condensing sludge and gave her tremendous power, but she didn't have much time and she had to act as soon as possible.

"The Blood Scythe is very sharp, really sharp, so let her give you a painless end..."

He held the giant scythe high and swung it down in an instant, and at the same time, a familiar loud noise came from the distance.

Chapter 64 Voluntary exit

"Cough cough...cough...well...it hurts, it hurts, hiss..."

The annoying throbbing pain kept coming from the chest, and the stimulation from inside the chest made people unable to stop coughing violently.

This must be the second time I have experienced falling from a height... The height difference of this two-story building is not fatal, and it is far less than the height of the last time I fell to the ground from the ropeway.

But unlike the last time she fell into a coma, she was conscious after this fall.

The pain in the body parts after the collision was clearly reflected in Han Nianling's brain. She reached out to inject the medicine for pain relief. The empty pocket suddenly reminded her that she had handed over the medicine to Hiiragi Jing not long ago.

Hiiragi Jing......

Recalling the girl who was full of mysteries, a complex emotion emerged from my heart. It was obvious that so many research plans for her had been conceived... What a pity. Maybe this was fate.

"It hurts... How good would it be if I fell into a coma as well... Or even if I die like this, it wouldn't be bad?"

The afterlife?

Even the exploration of the unknown in the crater could hardly support Han Nianling's persistence in living. Pain and fatigue both struck, eroding her body and also eroding her thinking.

She had tried her best to face the powerful tyrant, and not only her, but everyone in the team had also put their lives and deaths at risk.

The human side used all means, even using S1 missiles for direct bombing. However, the tyrant still survived. Even though he was seriously injured and was hit by the most powerful explosive shell of JC-1001, he could not be killed.

Although it is a bit rude to describe it like this, in Han Nianling's eyes, the tenacious tyrant is still alive like a cockroach in the wasteland, and is only one step away from achieving her final goal. For this, she only has a deep sense of powerlessness about her own power.

After experiencing successive setbacks, even she began to believe that it was an existence that could not be erased by human power.

What does she want to gain?No one knew, Han Nianling only knew that she had been included in the tyrant's kill list. No matter she, Luo Shi, Lin Zhao or anyone else, they could not escape death. Perhaps they would be cut open by such a sharp sickle. Maybe it’s not painful?

Just as Han Nianling was thinking about the death she was about to face, the strange sound in the crater interrupted her thoughts. It sounded like... the sound of battle?

Such speculation made her even more confused. The Digger mutant had been completely turned into a pile of carbon material during the bombing. The life and death of other members of the team were unknown. Who else could fight the tyrant? Could it be another unexpected one? A high-level monster has joined the battlefield?

If that monster confronts the seriously injured witch, can I make some changes?

Han Nianling was not a passive person, and he was especially good at seizing opportunities. The hope that had been extinguished was rekindled, and Han Nianling took action immediately.

"The leg seems to be broken..."

The stinging pain caused by trying to move her body made her take a breath, especially the pain in her legs. Experience told her the bad news. If she moved without permission, she might cause secondary injuries, but she was no longer injured at the moment. Pay attention to these.

Since the gun and the strap had all been disconnected just now, Han Nianling had no choice but to pull the JC-1001, which weighed [-] kilograms, with one hand and the bulge of the ruins on the ground with the other to crawl toward the edge where the crater could be seen.

The distance of just a few meters was particularly long for her. Her fingers, which were almost loaded with all her strength, were bruised by the rough ruins. The dark red mixed gravel and dirt on her fingertips left little red marks on the ground.

Finally, after a few minutes, she lay down on the edge of the ruins. From here, she could clearly see the panoramic view of the crater.

However, the steep slope sloping to one side and the uneven pile of rubble beneath her were not suitable for setting up a sniper rifle, but she had no other choice but to prepare for shooting in a rather twisted posture.

What species is the monster fighting the witch?How far has their battle progressed?

With too many doubts about the current situation, Han Nianling quickly turned her eyes to the scope after confirming the exact direction of the battle. The humanoid black shadow that caught her eye made her subconsciously guess that it was some kind of mutant of the walking corpse, which could be regarded as a vague After the figure gradually came into focus in her sight, what she saw was a scene that was the most unimaginable to her.

That is...Hiiragi Jing? !

Unexpected characters suddenly appeared in front of them on such occasions, making it difficult for people to imagine their authenticity. Could it be that his brain suffered a perceptual disorder due to a fall from a height?

The shocked Han Nianling blinked subconsciously and shook his head vigorously, but his brain did not feel any pain or discomfort. This was not in line with his guess. The person in the scope did not If it disappears or is replaced by something else, if it is not your own problem, it means that what you see is a real scene.

But is that really Hiiragi Jing?

The only thing that was similar to her impression was her appearance. Everything else felt strange to her. Her dull eyes were lifeless, and what were the black sludge gathering around her?Those asphalt-like jet-black viscous liquids flow like living things, making people feel deeply uncomfortable at first glance.

Why is Shizuki Hiiragi here?What happened to her?

The development of the battle situation left Han Nianling little time to think about it. The desperate tyrant launched an attack on Hiiragi Jing without any reservation. The trend of the battle situation quickly tilted to her side. Hiiragi Jing was completely overwhelmed by the tyrant's fighting power. Suppressed, Han Nianling suddenly pulled the trigger in his hand when he saw Hiiragi Jing, who was pressed under the tyrant, about to receive the raised sickle.

"boom!!!"

Is it...that damn human again? ! !

Sensing the approaching danger, the frightened tyrant gave up the calmness in front of him, turned around and swung the giant scythe in the direction behind him. Even without the naked eye to confirm the alarm bell blaring in his heart and the instantly disturbed airflow, it was enough to confirm the bullet. direction of attack.

"Chong-!!!"

The sharp friction sound was extremely harsh. The scythe had just drawn a month and a half of arc before it received a violent blow. Long sparks spread from the end of the scythe blade to the tip. In the blink of an eye, a violent tremor erupted from the impact. The dots spread all over the tyrant's body.

The contact between the bullet and the blade lasted only a moment. The bullet that had no time to explode was cut directly in the middle by the giant scythe. The metal shell that turned into two halves was thrown to the ground and lost its original threat.

For the tyrant, the result of splitting the bullet was not an easy victory for her. The black smoke that had finally gathered was consumed and dressed up, and the burst wound on her back had reached the point of bleeding, and what was worse was even worse. It was she who lost the chance to take action again.

"Boom boom boom boom!!!"

Losing the suppression of the black smoke, Hiiragi struggled violently beneath her. The black silt that had been blocked by the black smoke quickly climbed up her calf like ants. At the moment when it touched the silt, the tyrant only felt that he Her body seemed a bit heavier, and inexplicable fatigue continued to erode her body and mind.

Is this one of the functions of these silts?

But why is this force stronger than before?
