Chapter 1315 1287. Mouthparts and Eyeballs
When Lan En, Maria and Henrik separated, it didn''t actually take much time.
They just stopped by the research center to take a look.
Because both Maria and Lan En know very well that hope no longer exists.
Gray blood disease was originally a troublesome gue. The Healing Church Research Hall, which was originally considered by Maria as the ''way to salvation'', also showed its truest undertones under Lan En''s exposure.
The research hall is not studying how to defeat the gue at all, but hopes to gain more profound knowledge through this strange gue pathology.
They are eager to make patients infected with the disease more deeply and with more variations, so as to show moreplex disease manifestations as a basis for research.
The treatment of gray blood disease has made no progress at all under the purpose of this research.
Maria insisted on taking another look. In fact, she just wanted to give up.
It is precisely because this process does not take too long that Lan En goes with her.
This female hunter who was born into the Blood Nobles, her current mental state seemed really not right to Lan En.
After witnessing the truth of the research hall and the hunter''s beast transformation, he returned to Yanan and happened to see the spreading sea of ??fire.
Now, Maria often loses sight of the burning buildings on the road, and at the same time, her hands that should be steady and precise can''t stop shaking.
Every time Lan En had to intervene before she could break free.
In this mental state, Lan En wouldn''t be surprised if shemitted suicide.
After all, what she witnessed today undoubtedly destroyed many of the things she believed in before.
But Lan En didn''t want such a sassy and capable huntress with a good heart to just disappear into the burning old Yharnam.
On the one hand, Maria is indeed a powerful hunter, with skilled skills and powerful blood. Lan En''s next goal will require such a powerful helper.
On the other hand, in Yanan, Lan En rarely saw a hunter who cared about other people out of sincerity.
The trust those patients had in Maria wasmendable.
Therefore, the demon hunter was willing to take extra time to apany Maria to the research hall now that time was running out.
But now it seems that Lan En''s decision is very correct.
"Are you still clear about it? What has be of you now?"
The boots with white dragon scales on the outside were swimming in the sticky blood pool.
There was a "crash" sound that smelled of blood, and there was a slight collision between the armor tes.
Lan En''s body was already stained with a lot of blood.
The smelly and sticky blood was dripping from the edge of the skirt armor made of Smaug dragon skin.
The demon hunter paced cautiously and asked questions to the ''thing'' blocking the road to Church Town.
He could vaguely see that that ''thing'' might not long ago have been Ludwig, who was proudly called the "First Hunter of the Church" by the Yharnam people.
But now
"Huh~"
Ludwig was so confused that he didn''t feel that he had opened his mouth to breathe, but a smelly air flow dide from a very close breath, from the right side of his face, which was still twitching involuntarily. Blown over.
What is this man in front of me talking about?
Ludwig''s confused and confused mind still didn''t react.
It was only now that he was able to control his left eye to move towards his right side.
And the only action he can do is ''roll his eyes''. His neck was out of control.
Lan En, who was standing opposite, could see clearly.
The hunter in front of him, who was once praised as a hero, was now distorted.
Just like all lycanthropy patients when they get sick.
His limbs began to wither and be elongated by lycanthropy.
The originally fit and neat attire became wide but short due to this change, basically hanging empty on his body.
But it is different from ordinary lycanthropy patients.
In addition to the basic body shape changes, the right side of Ludwig''s neck
"Huh~"
Another deep breath came out without Ludwig opening his mouth at all.
Because the thing that issued the deep breath was not Ludwig''s ''mouth'' in the conventional sense at all.
—On his neck, which has be so skinny that the joints of his cervical vertebrae can even be seen, the pinhole left by the blood collection bottle has now expanded and torn into a mouth!
The mouth protruded outward from the corbone of his neck.
It''s not like a human or ordinary lycanthrope''s mouth. Instead, it looks like the mouthparts of a sea creature, a squid. A round circle, constantly surging and squirming.
And during the process of peristalsis, the inner wall of the mouth is also exposed.
There are no normal oral structures or sharp teeth inside. There are densely packed spherical eyes squeezed together!
And that strange, squirming mouth is protruding more and more outward and getting bigger and bigger.
It even began to upy the space that originally belonged to the normal neck and head in terms of shape and position.
Lan En narrowed his eyes slightly and paced in the blood pool.
Opposite him, the [First Hunter of the Church] who was once known for his knightly and glorious spirit, was just facing him with the round mouthpart full of eyeballs on the inner wall of his mouth.
The flesh and blood on the right half of the face was taken away and tightened by the big mouth, leaving only the left half of the face that still retains some normal human features. It was pushed aside as if it had no dominant position.
At this point, Lan En''s questions no longer need to be answered.
The twisted body in front of me has already shown it with actions - the person who has control over this body now is not the human head.
Ludwig''s head seemed to understand this.
He could only use his left eye, which he could still control, and watched helplessly as his field of vision was squeezed to the far left side of his body, unable to see anything or do anything.
This kind of body acted on its own under what he witnessed and felt, and the fear that he couldn''t control at all made Ludwig, who was already confused, scream in horror.
"Ang!"
But this cry seemed to be distorted into something other than human.
Simr to a donkey waiting to be ughtered.
But thisical cry with sadness and horror in such a grotesque, bloody, and burning environment can only make people shudder.
The two hands of the body in front of me seem to be unwilling to control, swinging along the sides of the body.
But Lan En immediately shed towards his side the moment after the miserable and frightening cry sounded!
And in the next moment.
"Bang!"
In addition to the blood sshing in the blood pool due to the sudden movement of the footsteps, a mercury bullet also suddenly cut through the air and hit Lan En''s original foothold!
Holding the exclusive firearm made for Ludwig by the Healing Church, the thing''s hand seemed to be swaying uncontrobly, but Lan En noticed it from the beginning.
Although the arm was swaying, the palm holding the weapon never let go!
Although lycanthropy will cause patients to mutate their limbs and lose their thinking, in the early stages of the disease, these patients will still use their normal tools.
Such as pitchforks, torches, and firearms.
As for Ludwig''s body, although the symptoms of lycanthropy he is currently showing are notmensurate with themon phenomenon in Yharnam, on the contrary, the deformed limbs with eyeballs and a big mouth are more like the variation of marine life in the small fishing vige.
But there is no doubt that he has practiced hunting skills to the core!
Even though this body is no longer under his control, he is still a skilled hunter!
The Demon Hunter''s heavy armorbined with his own weight gave him a fierce and violent feeling even in his swift movements.
After suddenly dodging sideways, Lan En quickly changed his center of gravity and stopped immediately in a very short moment.
Then switch the direction of movement and rush forward!
The sudden switch between emergency stop and explosive charge is a load that the demon hunter''s current body can easily bear.
His strong bones, muscles, cables in tendons, and internal reinforcements treat him as if he were walking normally.
But the blood pool under his feet was different.
The rocky ground beneath the blood pool was ravaged by the reaction force of his rapid and violent stamping!
He might as well be crushed under the boots of dragon scales and skin with a ''click''!
The blood spray caused by the rock copse was almost as high as Lan En''s back.
The blood fell in a ssh, and at the same time, it was sshed by Lan En''s extremely fast movement!
The next breath after the gunshot sounded, the muffled sound of boots hitting the ground exploded, and Lan En was already within two meters of Ludwig''s body!
At this distance, the densely packed eyeballs in the wide-open, squirming round mouth made a sticky sliding sound, and all turned in the direction of Lan En.
There was a "squeak" sound, the sharp sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the air!
A ray of silver light was whipped out from Ludwig''s hand like a whip!
It was a rtively normal-looking half-hand sword. In a ce like Yanan where all kinds of strange-shaped weapons were used, it looked very simple.
It''s just that in Ludwig''s wavering hand, the sword was cut out in a way that was more simr to throwing the arm and the sword together.
But facing the long sword, the end of which was clearly drawing white lines in the air due to the force of the swing and the super quality of this body.
Lan En, who was rushing towards the sword, did not change his expression.
Because of his grasp of the distance between sword fights and his observation of the situation at the scene, he was very confident that there was no chance that this sword would touch him.
As if the sword de swinging across in front of him didn''t exist, Lan just stared at Ludwig''s body opposite.
really!
While throwing out the long sword, spiral wind wrapped around the hunter''s legs!
[eleration Technique]!
It disappeared like blue smoke and reappeared five or six meters straight back!
