Chapter 333 The Weakness of the Black Umbrella Monster
Chapter 333 The Weakness of the Black Umbrella Monster
When seeing that terrifying figure, everyone except Luo Xi felt their scalp tingling.
At this moment, the uncanny valley effect, which was human-like yet not-human, exploded in everyone's mind like a bomb.
"Then, what kind of monster is that?" Zhu Ning stared, and then he seemed to remember something, covering his head, and then he reacted: "I... I seem to remember that we have encountered this monster before, it... it seemed to have taken something from us at that time."
He wanted to say more, but Wu Rui next to him grabbed his neck and made a gesture to keep quiet.
"It's okay, the monster has been controlled."
As a result, Luo Xi said something at this time, and at the same time, he did not stop, but walked straight over there.
The others didn't understand, but except for Zhu Ning, an outsider, everyone had absolute trust in Luo Xi.
Since Luo Xi said that the monster was controlled, it couldn't be wrong.
Before this, Luo Xi had never made a wrong judgment.
Continuing to get closer, the black umbrella monster obviously noticed Luo Xi and the others. This was the most dangerous time because under normal circumstances it would teleport over immediately.
then
In fact, no one remembers what happened after encountering this black umbrella monster. All the people who encountered this monster before were in a trance, and when they came to their senses, they had appeared alone in another place.
They don't remember what happened before.
I don't remember how I got separated from my companions.
I don't even remember encountering this black umbrella monster.
This is the most dangerous problem. If you forget the danger after encountering it, you will fall into it again next time.
The plundered memory makes it impossible for people to form "experience", and without experience, there is no prevention and response.
Following this pattern, if one is unlucky and continues to encounter black umbrella monsters, then after having his memory plundered, what will happen to the Memory Collector in the end?
Most likely, you will become an idiot who remembers nothing.
The most important thing is, according to Lin Qiqi and Wu Rui’s previous description, this monster is impossible to defeat.
In other words, relying on one's own strength to fight against the black umbrella monster is not allowed by the mechanism itself.
But it was precisely because of this that Luo Xi was certain that the black umbrella monster must have a very big weakness.
Otherwise, setting up such a thing in the level scene would completely lose the principle of "fairness and justice".
This is not allowed.
As we got closer, someone immediately walked out from the side area.
"It's Fatty Qian and Guo Zening. And An Zhiyan."
Wu Rui took a look.
She also noticed that An Zhiyan was holding a flashlight in her hand, shining it on the black umbrella monster.
Could it be that the black umbrella monster was not moving and not attacking them at this moment because it was being illuminated by the flashlight?
The two sides reunited immediately.
Guo Zening seemed very excited after seeing Luo Xi, but this guy looked quite embarrassed and had obviously suffered a lot.
"I was lucky enough to meet him. He was infatuated at the time, but he became more sober after encountering this black umbrella monster." An Zhiyan said, and the person she was talking about was naturally Guo Zening.
"Luo Ju, thanks to An Zhiyan, if she hadn't thought of shining the flashlight on this monster, we would all be finished." Fatty Qian walked over with lingering fear and reached out to wipe the blood off his face.
"In other words, the prop that can restrain this black umbrella monster is the flashlight dug out from the ground?" Lin Qiqi thought about it and understood.
The real purpose of the flashlight is to restrain monsters.
However, it is difficult to discover this mechanism. First, you need to pay attention to what the Grudge is muttering, and you also need to dig out a flashlight near the shrine. In addition, the flashlight is damaged, which means that it needs to be repaired.
At this time, Luo Xi also handed the flashlight that he had taken out a long time ago to Fatty Qian.
"The copper gasket in the flashlight is loose. It can be fixed by reinstalling it. If you look closely, you can see that this old-fashioned flashlight has many runes engraved inside. The reason why the black umbrella monster uses an umbrella is obviously because it is afraid of light, so the flashlight is a prop to restrain it."
"Speaking of which, this level scene is really deceptive. This thing doesn't have any clues and it's broken. Who knows it's used to restrain this monster." Fatty Qian cursed.
He turned on the flashlight that Luo Xi had repaired long ago, and shone it towards the black umbrella monster, cursing, "You were so awesome just now, didn't you? Come on, let me see if you can still get hard."
I walked over specifically and took a photo of the black umbrella monster's face.
Looking closely, the black umbrella monster has a black cloth covering its face and stinks of corpse all over.
At this moment, he seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.
"After seeing it, the memories that were previously plundered by it will be restored. But now it seems that the flashlight can only temporarily control the actions of this monster and cannot really destroy it." Luo Xi said at this time.
"Luo Ju, it's good that you can restrain it. At least this monster can no longer harm us. By the way, I have something important to tell you, Ke Lan. I found him, but something is wrong with him," said Fatty Qian at this time.
Then he described the specific process.
The dispersed search strategy they adopted previously was very effective. After all, this tree sea park is not particularly large, and it is indeed very efficient for four people to search separately.
He found Ke Lan.
"But that guy seems crazy!" Fatty Qian looked frustrated.
You can see that he is really sad.
He and Ke Lan have a very good relationship. Although they don't give in to each other verbally and often quarrel with each other, in their hearts they regard each other as brothers who have shared life and death together.
At that time, Ke Lan was squatting behind a tree, muttering.
Fatty Qian was also in a hurry to pee, and when he was about to relieve himself, he discovered Ke Lan squatting there.
To be honest, if I hadn't gone over to pee, I really wouldn't have noticed him. Fatty Qian was naturally very excited when he recognized the person squatting behind the tree as Ke Lan.
He didn't expect that it would be so easy to find someone here.
He called for help immediately.
Shout a few times.
But there was no response from Ke Lan on the other side. She still had her back to him, her face almost touching the bark, and she was muttering in a low voice.
Fatty is not stupid.
He saw the problem and knew that something was wrong, so he stopped shouting and instead became extremely alert, because in this kind of situation, there was a high chance that Ke Lan had been tricked.
Observe first.
There was nothing unusual around.
Judging from Ke Lan's appearance, she wasn't injured, but her body was covered in mud and water, probably because she had fallen.
After confirming that there were no other problems, Fatty Qian believed that Ke Lan must have been infected with some kind of "curse".
It sounds scary, but according to the characteristics of the "Curse", only the person infected by the Curse can see it, and the Curse will not attack anyone other than the host.
Naturally, Fatty Qian has nothing to worry about.
He went over and patted Ke Lan.
The latter didn't respond and continued to mutter.
"Okay, we are brothers after all. I'll take the trouble to help you walk." Fatty Qian went over, pulled Ke Lan up, and dragged her forward.
In that strange state, Ke Lan did not resist and let Fatty Qian pull her.
If that's the case, then it's not a big problem. According to Fatty Qian's plan, he will take Ke Lan to the agreed gathering point, and then let Luo Xi see what's wrong with Ke Lan and whether she can be saved.
If there is a way to save him, there is no doubt about it. I will risk my life for my brother and save him no matter what.
If there is no help.
Then he didn't mind giving his brother a ride, at worst they could see each other on the next cycle day.
But halfway through, something unexpected happened to Ke Lan.
Because Fatty Qian listened carefully to what Ke Lan was saying on the way, and as a result, he heard some content that made him shudder.
"Luo Ju, guess what Ke Lan said at that time?" Fatty Qian asked in a low voice.
Luo Xi said, "According to what you said, he was mumbling and couldn't talk alone. Is he chatting with someone?"
Fatty Qian's eyes widened and he nodded repeatedly: "That's right, then do you know who he is talking to?"
Brother Mao beside him slapped Fatty Qian in the face and said, "Who could have guessed this? What's wrong with you? Why can't you finish what you want to say in one breath? Who did you learn this habit of saying half of the sentence and leaving the other half in suspense?"
Not to mention Brother Mao, Lin Qiqi, An Zhiyan, Wu Rui, and Guo Zening who were listening with great interest nearby all had murderous expressions on their faces.
When Fatty Qian saw this, he knew that if he continued to say that, these people would probably pin him to the ground and beat him up.
He had no choice but to honestly say, "Luo Ju, Ke Lan was chatting with you at that time."
With just one sentence, everyone was silent.
"Did you hear it right?" Lin Qiqi asked.
Fatty Qian immediately shook his head: "How could he have heard it wrong? Ke Lan was indeed talking to Luo Ju at that time. He kept calling him Boss and Luo Ju. You know, Ke Lan is imitating me and recognizing Luo Ju as the Boss, so he definitely couldn't have made a mistake."
"So what did he say specifically?" This is what Luo Xi cared about.
"I couldn't hear it clearly, and I couldn't quite understand it. Most of the time it was just mumbling, kind of gibberish. I could make out a few words, like 'seal' and 'no time', but I didn't understand what they meant specifically." Fatty Qian said after carefully recalling it.
"But I could see that Ke Lan was completely out of his mind at the time, just like a madman." Fatty Qian sighed and said, "Later, Ke Lan suddenly ran away, and I chased him, but I didn't catch up."
It was obvious that Ke Lan was lost.
I don't know where it is at the moment.
"Have you checked that tree?" Luo Xi asked at this time.
"Tree, what tree?" Fatty Qian was stunned.
Then he realized that Luo Xi was talking about the tree that Ke Lan was leaning against when he found her.
He shook his head: "At that time, I was only paying attention to Ke Lan and didn't look carefully."
"Do you remember the location?"
"remember."
"Take me there."
After Luo Xi finished speaking, he walked straight to the black umbrella monster whose body was stiff and unable to move due to the flashlight, and reached out to snatch the black umbrella from the monster's hand.
When the black umbrella separated from the monster, without the umbrella, the blood rain poured directly on the body of this horrible monster.
The next moment, dense smoke came out of the monster's body, as if the falling raindrops were not water but sulfuric acid.
Every drop that fell would corrode the monster. After a while, under the smoke with a strange smell, the black umbrella monster was melted by the blood, like a melting snowman, and merged with the mud on the ground.
