Latent Syndrome

Chapter 68 68. Return

Inside the hotel.

The sheets were a little messy.

It had been a while since Hoshino Manatsu was injected, and her beautiful face was still flushed. The experience just now was really dreamy.

"You are about to leave Luo City, a place of wrongdoing. Do you have any plans? Why don't you leave with me?"

She came out of the bathroom and wiped her wet hair with a towel.

Although Colin's strength is unlikely to be among the most powerful batch of infected people, it is enough. He is located in the upper reaches of the pyramid and is worthy of reuse wherever he is placed.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Hoshino Manatsu was a little surprised. Colin stared at the phone and froze completely, as if he had seen something extremely shocking. This was not in line with his current style at all. His pupils shrank and his fingers were trembling slightly.

This news blasted into Colin's mind like a bolt from the blue, confidential information from the first department of the Countermeasures Bureau.

This is really... too amazing.

He felt like he was in a bottomless deep whirlpool, filled with too many secrets and too many ultimate horrors of the universe.

It made him breathe a little faster, but he still couldn't believe that this was true.

I can't escape from all this.

You must explore the truth of all this yourself.

Just like everyone must die in the end, Colin must also join this eternal carnival with countless madmen.

Let’s dance together…

Perhaps he was too shocked and his concentration was highly distracted. He was about to take out a cigarette, but his hand knocked over the ashtray, scattering a large amount of black ash.

"You look wrong..."

Hoshino Manatsu was only wrapped in a bath towel. She took a few steps back. Could it be that Colin was losing control? The stronger the person infected with Abyssal Syndrome is and the closer he is to the abyss, the higher the risk of losing control. It is very possible for him to be like this.

"Lost space station, solar eclipse, alien objects."

"god……"

"Is what you said true?"

"What organization are you from?"

"What on earth is this thing...the brain fluid of a madman?"

He lit a cigarette with a lighter and took a deep hiss before calming down a little.

Seeing that the logic of Colin's words was quite clear, Hoshino Manatsu exhaled and his tense nerves relaxed a little. If Colin went crazy, he really didn't know what to do with him.

"I am only the lowest-level investigator. I have no reservations about you, Colin."

"Besides... I don't remember telling you this... it's just a conjecture based on various signs."

"But I do know about the cerebral spinal fluid. It is a very precious thing. It is made by some crazy scholars. Through a special method, they can access the abyss even if they are not infected with the disease. In the process of exploration, they learn some kind of truth. ', and then die violently. This liquid can be extracted from the brains of the remaining corpses. Ordinary people will die directly after injection. But if an infected person is injected, there will be a very strange phenomenon. I don't know the details, but It's more dangerous, and infected people with weak willpower may die violently, so you can keep it."

Hoshino Manatsu came behind the chair, leaned down slightly, hooked his hands around Colin's neck, and unwiped water drops dripped on his shoulders.

"I will not leave Los Angeles. I will return to the Countermeasures Bureau."

Colin said calmly.

"What, Gray kidnapped your ex-wife?"

Hoshino Manatsu was puzzled. He had no reason to do that. It must be related to the news he just saw.

"No, I still have unfinished business, and I have to end it all."

Because of his anxiety, he failed to control the intensity of dusting the cigarette ashes, and the burning scarlet cigarette butt broke off, leaving scorch marks on the wooden table.

"Forget it if you don't want to say it. I have a hunch... You are very important to Colin. Maybe it's just my illusion. You know how to find me. We will definitely meet again. Then..."

She hasn't finished speaking yet.

Colin pulled away the hand she was holding, and without saying goodbye, he stood up, picked up the lighter, and walked out of the room without looking back.

The door closed a little loudly.

"What a heartless man."

Hoshino Manatsu clicked his tongue and it was time to leave.

…

…

…

The unfinished shopping mall rooftop.

Huge rubble rolled down, the building collapsed, and the steel bars inside were exposed.

"I underestimated you."

Heller wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His strength could no longer maintain the shape of a two-meter-tall butcher. He never expected that this man would be so troublesome. As he guessed, powerful visions are often accompanied by huge consumption and must be used with caution. , otherwise the power will soon dry up and turn into a passive situation.

But the man on the other side is too weird. He gets stronger as he fights. Now he almost doesn’t use his visions anymore. He relies on his combat experience to dodge attacks. It’s hard to imagine that he doesn’t look like a battle-hardened warrior. But But he is extremely experienced.

They are indeed the top agents of the Countermeasures Bureau.

"Well... In this way, a new problem is transformed into a solved problem."

Lister's head was broken and bleeding, and he was no less embarrassed than Heller, but after taking powerful analgesics, he felt no pain and could still think about things in the most rational way.

Heller is quite powerful. If it were a head-on fight, I would definitely not be able to defeat her, but her attack pattern is easy to understand. She would often use some delayed attacks and make some fake moves to confuse people. In addition, the weapons she chose were too cumbersome. The trajectory of the huge steel pipe is so easy to capture.

The hermit's hint is far weaker than other hints in terms of both offensive and defensive properties, but its advantage lies in its terrifying mobility and stealth, making it the most suitable for dealing with enemies like Heller.

"It's time to decide the outcome. You probably don't have much strength left."

Heller dug his hands into the stone pillar next to him, dug out hundreds of kilograms of boulders, and made a baseball pitcher's posture, preparing to launch the boulders.

"You should pray that you're at Yankee level."

Liszt's fingertips exuded dazzling golden glitter.

At this moment.

The ground floor of an abandoned construction site.

Eugene secretly cursed the countermeasures bureau for being too inefficient and not having a backup for so long.

I don’t know if the message sent to Colin is useful. Gray said that as long as he sees this photo, he will definitely return to the countermeasures bureau.

Eugene didn't understand. It was just a photo. Could it bring him back after he had run away?

"The Butcher and your partner are up there?"

Colin said expressionlessly.

Eugene was startled by his silent approach, like a ghost.

"Fuck, do you make no sound when you walk?"

Eugene clutched his chest, he was already very nervous, but this kid suddenly jumped out.

It was already half an hour ago when Colin received the news. He rushed over as quickly as possible, worried that something would happen to Eugene. After all, her vision was not suitable for fighting. Although her strength and vitality were far beyond ordinary people, More suitable for some functional auxiliary purposes.

He could hear a fight going on on the rooftop, but since he had never seen those two people, he didn't know who he was going to help later, so he had to confirm.

"Which one is the butcher and which one is your partner?"

Colin asked.

"Big men are butchers, so be careful."

Eugene was also afraid that Lister would die suddenly. After all, Heller seemed too violent. With Colin's help, Eugene also loaded the pistol into the magazine and decided to join the battle.

Three against one, even if the Butcher is an S-level infected person, he still has to lose a layer of skin.

"Save it, little sister. I won't be able to protect you later. Those rivets on your leather jacket might even prick me."

Colin said half-jokingly.

Before Eugene could start, Colin didn't even take the stairs.

Click!

With a flash of the strange bloody knife, a large piece of the ceiling was cut off, and the thick rectangular stone hit the ground, raising a wave of dust.

He jumped into the air nimbly, grabbed the edge of the crack and flipped up, his movements extremely swift.

"Fuck, does this mean that the comprehensive potential is unknown? It's too damn powerful."

This move really distracted Eugene. Damn it, he was just faking it.
