latent syndrome

Chapter 48 48. Orpheus

In the outskirts of Los Angeles, a three-story single-family villa located deep in the dense forest, there is not a single family within a few kilometers.

There is also a quiet small lake next to the house, floating a canoe that can carry three or four people.

The scenery here is very pleasant. It is a vacation villa of a wealthy man. Because no one lives there, it will be rented short-term to other people who want to experience forest life and love secluded areas.

What really attracted Randy was not the pleasant scenery.

It is because the original owner has a certain degree of literary and artistic hobbies. There is a rather spacious study room in the villa, which stores various famous books, a piano, and an old-fashioned record player.

The space is large enough to even do some work.

"It's a three-month lease, right? Here is the lease procedure. You can confirm it before signing."

The real estate consultant reminded Randy, presenting the agreement bound in A4 paper with both hands.

Randy took out double the rent from the suitcase, a full 3 yuan.

"Don't bother, I can't even stay for three months."

Randy checked his watch. It was time to get to work.

The real estate consultant readily accepted it. Anyway, no one lives in this house. Even if some criminals want to use it to make drugs, they can stay out of it.

Randy took a deep breath.

"Are you thinking of something bad?"

His tone was hoarse, and he opened the inside of the suit, like a person selling contraband CDs, filled with various tools.

Daggers, tweezers, scissors, scalpels, small saws, small pliers...

The real estate consultant's face was stiff, and he subconsciously felt something was wrong and wanted to run away.

Fear causes the brain to secrete transmitters.

This wild fragrance will attract predators.

"You're shaking."

"I smell..."

Randy opened the collection of poems and turned to his favorite section.

"This sweet aroma."

"Like the paranoid gambler is to gambling."

"As a drunkard does to his bottle."

"Like maggots to a corpse."

A look of guilt welled up on Randy's face, like the remorse of a cowardly man after every prostitute.

The man ran wildly with trembling legs, stumbled and ran 100 meters away, and kept trampling on the fallen leaves on the ground, making messy rustling noises.

Randy's guilt is deeper, he is really guilty, and he wants to murder innocent lives for selfish desires.

It was so painful, this sense of guilt, so annoying.

The next paragraph on the anthology is.

I beg for the sword.

win my freedom.

I ask for insidious poison.

Help my timidity.

I saw a bunch of extremely sharp wire blades spread out from Randy's hand, they were intertwined and gathered together, and rushed towards the running man, swift as lightning, entangled him in an instant, gouged him into the flesh, sharp and cold The metal pierced his skin, growing wildly in the fat layer.

At last.

clack clack...

It was a kind of tearing shattering, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

"But both the poison and the sword spoke to me contemptuously."

"You do not deserve to be released from your cursed bondage."

Randy closed the book and muttered, the fullness of body and mind made him relax, the pain was filling the void in his heart, it was really a kind of... sensual intoxication.

……

……

……

the next day,
A farm on the outskirts of Los Angeles, in a warehouse where crops are piled up.

"The database has not been updated recently, and no new tasks have been issued. I don't know how long we will stay here."

This is an official agent of the eleventh division of the Countermeasures Bureau, complaining to his female partner.

"Isn't it better, you don't have to fight SCT desperately."

The pretty woman said.

Due to the low level in the level evaluation, it was judged as D-level. Although it has a certain combat power, it is still relatively reluctant to fight head-on.

Therefore, they are responsible for stationing at the edge of Los Angeles. When infected people flee, they can contain them and kill them.

There were fine raindrops outside the farm, accompanied by a few thunderclaps, which soon turned into a torrential rain.

The lush pastures and gloomy sky have an isolated beauty.

Long-term relationship, including common circumstances.

Whether it's a submerged disease, whether it's a harsh countermeasure, or a dangerous SCT.

It's all crazy.

"Yeah, I really hope it keeps going like this."

said the man.

"You think so too."

The woman subconsciously responded.

All of this is too crazy, and both sides are in their golden years, and from the eyes they look at each other, it can be seen that they have already secretly developed feelings for each other.

Seeing that the atmosphere has become a little delicate.

The luster reflected by the dark red lens has already enveloped this place.

After Randy witnessed all this, he walked slowly into the warehouse door, closed the open umbrella, and there were some rain stains on the leather shoes and trousers.

"I'm sorry to disturb the sweet relationship between the two, but there are too many people queuing up, and I deeply regret it."

Randy hung the umbrella on the hook and straightened his tie.

The two immediately became vigilant, and the pistol with special ammunition was already aimed at Randy's head.

"who are you?"

An extremely ominous premonition sprouted deep in the two of them. In such a remote place, it is definitely not as simple as a person who came to hide from the rain. The target is the two of them.

"I advise against it."

Randy made a pistol gesture towards himself, signaling for them to put the gun down.

Being so calm at the point of a gun...then there is only one possibility, this person is a killer from SCT.

boom……

The man fired first.

The bullet hit Randy's forehead precisely, and sank in, burning blue flames.

Sure enough, it was an infected person, and only a patient with submerged disease had a chemical reaction with the bullet to have this kind of flame.

"what a pity."

Randy wiped his forehead with his finger, and the blue flame disappeared instantly.

"how can that be?"

The woman began to panic.

click!
It was more than ten meters away, but a steel spike directly pierced the man's abdomen, broke out from his back, and then provoked him.

"Run! Beth..."

He began to vomit a lot of blood from his mouth. With such a terrifying vision, it was hard to imagine the depth of his dive. Knowing that he was invincible, he could only hold him back as much as possible.

But the woman did not run away, and continued to shoot Randy with the gun, and the bullets hit him all until the magazine was empty.

However, Randy was unscathed, and the blue flame just appeared a little bit, and then went out in an instant.

The man endured his injuries and drew his strength from the different space, and the corrosive liquid overflowed wildly, rolling towards Randy like a wave.

But useless at all under overwhelming force.

Kaka!

Another two bunches of steel spikes pierced the man, his vision weakened in an instant, and he needed more strength to recover from his injuries.

"Brian..."

The woman couldn't bear to watch him die like this.

It was so touching.

This made Randy feel guilty that this sincere feeling could stand the test of life and death.

Randy decides to let them go.

"Have you heard the story of Orpheus?"

"His wife, the nymph Euinides, was killed by a poisonous snake at the wedding banquet with him. The infatuated Orpheus rushed into the underworld and moved Hades with his piano, and Euinides regained her life. .”

"But Pluto warned him that he must never look back before leaving the underworld."

"The journey to death is coming to an end, and Orpheus couldn't hold back the love in his heart, so he turned around to make sure his wife followed him."

"But Eunides fell into the abyss."

After Randy finished speaking, he directly embraced the woman, took out a dagger from his arms, and pressed it against her beautiful face.

"In the next minute, I will hurt her, but she will not die."

"And you just have to stay calm and you'll both survive."

"this is very simple."

"I do what I say."

Randy's tone was serious.

The woman nodded to the impaled man, there was no other way but to do this.

The man didn't speak, his injury didn't allow him to take any action, he just stared at Randy with extremely gloomy eyes.

"I think you agree."

Immediately afterwards, Randy slashed the woman's face with a dagger, cutting out bloodstains, then her hands and legs.

The man's ten fingers were trembling furiously, and the muscles all over his body were convulsing. The anger in his eyes was about to overflow, but he forcibly held back, gritted his teeth desperately, all the facial muscles were tense, and tried his best to keep calm.

Randy looked at his watch, it was 40 seconds.

The woman also bravely closed her eyes, and kept silent even though the severe pain was tormenting her body and mind.

Immediately afterwards, Randy backtracked, grabbed the woman's neck, and cut it hard with a dagger.

blah blah blah...

Blood gushed out like a fountain, and the woman suddenly had difficulty breathing.

"Kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

The man let out a hoarse roar, and desperately broke free from the steel spikes, his abdomen was bloody.

"It's unfortunate."

"you failed."

Randy spread out and grabbed the woman's hand. It turned out that what he cut just now was his own palm, deep to the bone.

"that's too regretful……"

Randy was a little disappointed.

The man fell into the ultimate boundless despair, his eyes dimmed.

Now Randy got serious.

With a strong swipe of the dagger, it pulled hard on the snow-white neck, cut the throat, and cut all the hopes of the two of them.

Blood flow like a column.
