London, England, 1984.
The streets were filled with fog and were deserted, but the lively atmosphere in a tavern seemed out of place.
A drunken man leaned on the bar, bickering with the people around him from time to time.
At this time, a man squeezed through the crowd and walked to the man surrounded in the middle of the crowd.
"Logan, congratulations, you've been promoted again!"
Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, or perhaps it was because of the dim lighting in the bar, the person who came to clink glasses made it difficult for him to see the man's face.
Out of politeness, Logan struggled to get up from the bar and carelessly handed over a wine glass that was almost as big as his face. The two glasses made a crisp "ding" sound in the air.
Then there was the sound of gurgling into the throat and the sound of liquid going down into the stomach.
"Haha, it feels good!"
The man whose face could not be seen laughed, then waved to the girl standing behind the bar and said something in her ear.
"Mina...Mina, another glass!"
His vision was blurry, and Logan looked like a drunkard. With trembling hands, he struggled to hand the glass to the girl standing at the bar. He had no idea how many glasses of wine he had drunk at the promotion banquet tonight.
This was a girl who had just come to work in the bar last week.
The girl stared at him blankly, not knowing what she was thinking. She took out a bottle of wine from under the bar with an expressionless face, bent her arms slightly, and hung the bottle in the air. The liquid flowed out of the bottle mouth and drew a perfect line in the air.
Unlike before, the poured liquid seemed a little viscous, no longer like the beer before. Under the flickering lights of the bar, it was hard to tell what color it was.
Who cares, drink it first!
With this idea in mind, he drank another glass.
The hot and turbid liquid flowed into the stomach along the esophagus. The liquid seemed to have some kind of vitality, burning the stomach wall on one side and trying to crawl out again through the esophagus on the other side.
This was the feeling of vomiting after drinking too much.
"I can't vomit, it's too embarrassing!" Logan thought, but he couldn't control his body. He propped himself up with his hands on the bar and vomited hard. The female companion beside him was also looking at him with a worried look on her face, constantly patting his back with her hands.
"Are you feeling better?" The female companion asked him softly.
"Yes... much better..." Logan put his head on the bar and wanted to get up to answer.
But a more violent feeling of nausea came from his body. Another round of vomiting!
What did this damn black-hearted bartender add to my wine? !
After vomiting, his mind became much clearer, and he finally realized that the wine he just drank was not right.
"You guys!..."
He pointed at the girl at the bar, but felt that there seemed to be some changes around him.
The female companion who was holding his hands at the beginning felt slippery.
Did he vomit on her?
Turning his head, the female companion at the beginning no longer had any human characteristics! It was a huge tumor, with a pair of huge eyes occupying a large part of the meat ball, and red and black liquid gurgling inside. The man whose face could not be seen clearly had already inserted a sharp blade into the body of the meat ball!
His arm was just a calf of the monster, and its tentacles were around the body, lingering under everyone in the tavern like straws to absorb their blood.
Some people in the tavern had shriveled bodies and some had even melted into other parts of the monster's body. Strangely, some people inside seemed to have no reaction to these things, and they continued to drink and watch the excitement here.
"Oh, Shit!"
Logan cursed, and he found that the arm that had just been slapped from behind was just an attack from the monster to get his blood, but for some reason, his skin was not pierced.
"Is this, awake?"
The girl at the bar looked at everything happening in front of her expressionlessly, and continued to wipe the cup in her hand.
Because of the fight, the monster retracted the tentacles tied to him and fought with the thin man. This time, Logan could finally see the man's face clearly. He was not handsome, but just ordinary, but he had a calm and sophisticated feeling.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
Logan wanted to shout in the tavern, but he was afraid of attracting the monster's attention.
How about leaving and making plans?
Logan thought about it and jumped off the high chair with determination.
"You can't leave."
A cold and arrogant voice came from behind, and it came directly to my ears across the noisy tavern. It was the girl's voice.
"It started with you and ended with you."
Inexplicable words.
He didn't believe that the monster would have time to stop him while fighting with the skinny human.
"Dang!"
The monster and the human's attacks collided again, making a sonic boom in the air, and the wine glasses in the tavern cracked in the confrontation between the two. The monster seemed to be at a disadvantage, and its big eyes had exploded halfway! But soon, the shriveled body of the one closest to him, connected by straw-like tentacles, suddenly broke and merged into its body, and the monster instantly recovered.
Now!
Logan ran away!
But soon he was desperate, because he found that when he jumped off the high chair, the door of the tavern was clearly within reach, but no matter how he jumped, the distance from the door to him remained the same!
Encountered a ghost?
"This is the domain, released by the monster. No one can enter or leave without its permission."
The bar girl had walked to his side without knowing when, with her arms around her chest, and there was still no expression on her face.
"So how did you get in?"
Logan asked curiously.
The girl fumbled in her suit pocket and took out a dark black card with a few white glowing English letters on it - "SOE" (Special Operations Executive).
"I came in by breaking through the domain." The girl's voice sounded, "We came here to solve this problem."
On the other side, no matter how the monster recovered its body, it would be chopped and torn apart by the thin man again.
Finally, the monster could not support its recovery ability, and the domain seemed to be unable to support the ability to confuse sensory cognition before. People scattered in various corners of the tavern also discovered the abnormality here, screaming and struggling to escape.
"First, the domain cannot enter or escape."
"Second, there can only be one domain in a place."
"Third, the domain can change cognition and modify memory."
"Fourth, any creature that stays in the domain for a long enough time cannot be allowed to escape! If a person enters the domain for a long enough time, he will definitely be polluted! Whether it is the mind or the body, after escaping, there is a 99% probability that he will become another monster..."
Before he finished speaking, one of the survivors had already touched the edge of the door. The girl took the hairpin from her hair and nailed the man's head to the door with lightning speed.
The man looked at this side with resentful eyes, as if he almost escaped. Even so, his body was still not honest, and the whole body was still struggling, as if he could not feel the abnormality on his head.
In the end, he even twisted the head nailed to the glass door off!
The whole headless body trembled and rushed towards the girl. The girl did not look at the headless body, her fingers trembled slightly, and the headless body trembled and rushed towards the meatball monster at the beginning.
"There is still 5%, that is, to become a favored person like us, this! It is the ability given by God to clean up the world!"
The girl continued.
The tavern was already in chaos. The girl kept fighting the survivors inside. More and more intact corpses stood up and rushed towards the meatball monster at the beginning with the thin man.
The fog on the street dissipated, but no one could see the scene inside clearly. The glass door was stained red with blood.
A little boy looked through the glass from outside the house, and there was a happy scene inside.
Countless bodies surrounded the big-eyed monster tightly. In the eyes of the child, it was a birthday party for the monster. The broken limbs and arms on the ground were candles that had fallen on the ground. The thin man with a solemn face was a gentle waiter, walking towards the person he was going to serve with a smile.
The little boy wanted to get closer to see, but was pulled back by his parents.
"The domain has changed the external cognition, the internal cognitive confusion has collapsed, and the external cognition will not stop until the monster dies!"
The girl explained to Logan while controlling countless bodies to rush towards the big-eyed monster. The sharp blade in the thin man's hand burst into a dark light, splitting the monster and the countless bodies in half, and blood and broken limbs were scattered all over the ground, as if announcing Logan.
"Welcome! Come to the real London!"
