"It's nothing." Feng Bujue looked at Dr. Andrei calmly and replied, "I just want you to know that if you want to capture me for the ritual, I can cooperate with you."
"Oh?" Andrei looked at Brother Jue and thought for two seconds. "Was it Nicholas who told you about the ritual?"
"Haha … He told me a lot of things." Brother Jue used his special skill of mystifying things.
"You seem to be …" Andrei stared at Feng Bujue for a few seconds and said, "… not normal."
"Why do you say that?" Brother Jue asked.
"It's not surprising that ordinary people would scream or moan when they see 'me in this state,'" Andrei replied. "But I can't feel the slightest fear from your eyes."
"It's simple, because I'm also an experimental subject in this base." Feng Bujue gave this answer almost without thinking. "And what I received … was an experiment to erase fear."
At this moment, let alone Andrei … even Igor was fooled by him.
Before this, Brother Jue only told Igor that he was also captured for an experiment, but he never mentioned what kind of experiment it was. But now … the answer seemed to be revealed.
Combined with his previous behavior and his current calm attitude, his answer was undoubtedly very convincing.
"Oh?" Although Andrei believed most of it, he still asked cautiously, "How come I didn't know that there was such an experiment in the base?"
"Who do you think you are?" Feng Bujue replied. "Are you the person in charge of all the plans here? Or are you the political commissar of the organization? "
Brother Jue combined the situation of the Soviet Union at that time and asked a question that left Andrei speechless.
"Haha …" Andrei sneered and said, "Then … can you explain, how did you subdue Nicholas? Also, before he died, he said, 'There's someone else in this room.' What did he mean? "
"VNO-9," Feng Bujue quickly replied again.
Multitasking had always been Brother Jue's habit. While they were conversing, he had come up with many excuses. Therefore, facing any question, he was able to answer it smoothly.
"VNO-9 …" Judging from Andre's expression, he knew something about this. "The plan to create 'super soldiers'?"
"That's right. I've injected myself with VNO-9 before, so my physical ability is slightly higher than the average person. As long as I use a sneak attack, it won't be too difficult to deal with Nicholas. " Feng Bujue's nonsense came out of his mouth, and it was half true and half false, making it very difficult to distinguish. "And what Nigel wanted to say to you before he died was … 'Be careful, there is a soldier injected with VNO-9 in this room.'"
In terms of Chinese grammar, this sentence was actually a little awkward. According to our language habits, it was more like "Be careful, this person has been injected with VNO-9" or "Be careful, this person is a soldier who has been injected with VNO-9".
However, from the perspective of Russian, this explanation seemed to make sense. Moreover, at that time, Nicholas only had his head left, and this head was in Feng Bujue's hand. In this case, Nicholas could neither use his hand to "point" nor turn his head to "look." Under the premise that he couldn't "point" at a specific target, it made sense that he used "there's someone else in this room."
"Hmph … I see." Andrei was fooled.
He responded, and after a few seconds of silence, suddenly …
Crackle!
There was a burst of firecracker-like sound coming from his body.
At the same time, the skin and flesh on Andre's body that had swelled to the limit suddenly shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not long after, his entire body was like a deflated balloon, shrinking into a mummy like Nigula and the others.
Seeing the change in Andrei, one of Feng Bujue's doubts was dispelled. Previously, Nicholas had said that the Whisperers "looked no different from us," but when Andrei appeared, it was not the case. Now, Brother Jue understood the reason, and also what Andrei meant when he said "I am in this state."
"Last question …" After Andrei completed his "transformation," he asked, "Why did you kill Nicholas immediately after I opened the door?"
"Hmph …" Brother Jue put on a cold expression. "From the moment you appeared, the situation was no longer under my control. I had just tortured Nigel. If I let him live, he would definitely say a lot of unfavorable things to me in front of you." He tilted his head, and a fanatical light flashed in his eyes. "I don't want to die here … Compared to death, I'd rather take a gamble and accept the ritual."
These words were also half-true and half-false, and there was no big loophole in his logic.
After hearing this, Andrei laughed and said, "Oh … It's about the same as what I thought." In this second, he finally revealed a smile that a monster should have … a strange, sinister smile. "Since that's the case, come with me …" As he spoke, he leaned to the side and made a "please" gesture.
"Okay, let me take something first." Feng Bujue took the opportunity to reply.
This sentence was not only for Andrei, but also for Igor. Because at this moment … Igor was standing between Brother Jue and the toolbox, and the thing that Brother Jue wanted to take was obviously the toolbox.
"Take something?" Andrei showed a suspicious look again. "What do you want to take?" He suddenly showed a somewhat ferocious look. "Don't tell me … after seeing that I've removed my previous form, you have the idea of sneaking up on me?" He sneered. "Haha … Although my appearance has changed, if you treat me as the same as Nigel, I'll be very troubled."
"I didn't mean that." Feng Bujue replied, "It's just … These things are what I've collected before, such as tools, medical supplies, weapons, and so on. It's a pity to throw them away."
"Hmph … Whatever." Andrei snorted coldly. "Anyway, when the inner 'you' takes over the body, you'll realize how stupid your current thoughts are."
…
Three minutes later, Feng Bujue and Andrei had already arrived at the ritual room.
Along the way, Brother Jue walked in front with the toolbox, while Andrei followed behind him vigilantly. Six or seven meters behind Andrei … was Igor, who was quietly tailing them.
Igor's tracking skills were not outstanding, but fortunately … when Andrei walked, every step he took would make a "bang" sound, as if his skinny body was still bearing the weight of the monster form just now.
In short, as long as one did not deliberately make any noise, one would not be discovered on the "auditory" level. As for the "visual" level … Even if Andrei looked back, he could not see Igor, so there was nothing to worry about.
"So … should we start now?" Feng Bujue put down the toolbox and the documents in his arms on the ground, then looked at Andrei and asked.
At that moment, Brother Jue was standing at the edge of the cement platform, and Andrei was two meters away from him. Igor, with Brother Jue's signal, stood at the door to watch.
"You just need to go up." Andrei pointed at the cement platform.
"Can I stand?" Feng Bujue asked as he stood up.
"Yes," Andrei replied. "As long as you are on top of the magic circle."
After Feng Bujue stood up, he used a condescending gaze to ask calmly, "The people who came for the ritual earlier were forced to lie down because they refused to go up, right?"
"Haha … That is one of the reasons …" Andrei smiled again, but this time, there was a hidden danger in his smile.
Feng Bujue did not ask what the 'second reason' was because he knew … he would soon experience the answer himself.
Two seconds later, Andrei asked, "I still haven't asked for your name."
"Feng Bujue," Brother Jue answered.
"Okay, let us begin … Feng Bujue." At this point, Andrei slowly raised both of his arms.
At that moment, the mutated monster revealed an extremely reverent gaze, and he started to chant a series of strange incantations.
Even though the system did not translate the language he was using, Brother Jue could still tell that he was speaking Hebrew. Unfortunately … being able to tell did not mean that he could understand it.
Just like how many people could differentiate between Spanish, Japanese, and French … even if they had not really studied these three languages.
"Hmm? This is … "About ten seconds later, Feng Bujue, who stood on the cement platform, saw the magic circle under his feet glow.
Almost at the same time, he was drenched.
(Why do I feel like I have just written a sentence that can easily be misunderstood?)
Blood … seeped out from the surface of Feng Bujue's body. It seeped out from every inch of his skin and pores.
Seeing this, Igor panicked. He was hesitating whether he should go forward to save Brother Jue or not.
"Hmm … This feels not bad." Feng Bujue saw through Igor's thoughts, so he used a calm tone to say that to let Igor know that he was fine.
But actually … Brother Jue was feeling very bad.
It was not the kind of bad feeling where his body was sticky with blood but the kind of bad feeling brought on by intense pain …
He already understood why the other participants had to lie down … it was because they were in so much pain that they could not stand up.
Only Brother Jue could stand and speak without a change in expression.
Even Andrei, who was chanting, had a change in expression when he heard Feng Bujue's words … He had not encountered something like this during a ritual before.
…
The ritual lasted for about three minutes. Andrei's chanting became softer and softer until it became an inaudible … whisper.
At this time, the blood on Feng Bujue's body had dried up. He was like a dehydrated plant, a mummy.
The intense pain that seemed to come from the depths of his soul had also stopped. Instead, it was replaced by a strange feeling of pleasure and a strong urge to hurt his own body.
"Oh … I see." Brother Jue, who was in his mummy state, spoke with the same expression and tone as usual. As he spoke, he raised his hand and used his finger to cut off a piece of flesh from the left side of his face. "This feels so f * cking good …"
This made Igor break out in a cold sweat. He could not help but think, "If Brother Feng's mind has turned into a 'demon' and he tries to kill me …" Igor did not even dare to think about what would happen next.
To be fair, Igor was not afraid even when facing the Whisperer. However, if he were to face a mutated and hostile Feng Bujue, he would be scared to tears.
"Hahaha …" A few seconds later, Andrei let out a strange laugh, indicating that the chanting was over and the ritual was complete. Then, he said to Brother Jue, "As expected … your soul and body are strong enough to bear the burden of the ritual."
Feng Bujue stepped down from the cement platform. He lowered his head to look at his own body and mumbled weakly, "Now I know why all of you had to tear off your own clothes. They are so sticky and sticky. It is so uncomfortable."
"Haha …" Andrei laughed. "What's the use of clothes? Skin, muscles, organs, bones … they are all meaningless. " Before his voice trailed off, he casually tore off a piece of flesh from his shoulder. "Our skin is just a shackle that binds us. It's just that … we still need to use it to release our compatriots trapped in this world."
"Ah … Ah … You can do it." Feng Bujue did not seem to care much about Andrei's words. When Andrei was talking, Brother Jue had already walked to the toolbox, squatted down, and opened it.
"Hmm?" Andrei was puzzled by Brother Jue's response and attitude. "You … What's wrong with you?"
The Whisperers were one of the stronger existences among these "crazy mutated beings." They all retained part of the memory from the "Otherworld", so they could use spells and had higher intelligence.
However, even Andrei, who was a senior Whisperer, had never seen a case like Brother Jue who did not seem to have any change in personality after being "awakened."
"Nothing, I'm fine." Feng Bujue still used the same casual tone to reply to the man, and he did not stop what he was doing.
Brother Jue took out all the VNO-9 from the toolbox (most of them were stored in test tubes or blood collection bags) and started to prepare for the injection …
"What are you doing?" Andrei stared at his strange "compatriot" in front of him, and he fell into a state of confusion.
This was because in Andrei's eyes, the toolbox was just a dark shadow …
Andrei knew very well that in Brother Jue's eyes, the toolbox was also just a dark shadow …
"What am I doing? Isn't it obvious? I want to strengthen my skin. " As he spoke, Feng Bujue took out an oversized syringe (don't ask me how big this thing is. When you see it, you will remember your childhood, and then you will want to cry. Of course, when you see it, your mind will be filled with strange images from movies, then I suggest you go out for a walk, receive appropriate counseling, and stay away from crime …) and started to extract the green liquid from the test tube.
