Chapter 163 Gastro's True Appearance

Five minutes after Che Zhengchen was kidnapped by the Dice Monster, in a secret basement connected to an alley in the Hongdeng Commercial District.

This cramped and damp basement was designed like an operating room, with a bed covered with white sheets in the middle and nothing else.

At this moment, the Dice Freak and Anti-Dog were standing beside the bed, while Che Zhengchen fainted on the bed.

Fanquan was still wearing the windbreaker and had an Ultraman mask on his face.

Neither of them spoke and remained silent.

Fanquan was writing in a notebook. He lifted the notebook and saw the words written on the top: "This is the first time I see you appear in front of me like this."

The dice man grinned, typed on the memo on his spare phone, and raised the phone screen: "So what? Will you be scared by me?"

In order to prevent Gastro from using the bugs in Che Zhengchen's body to eavesdrop on their conversation, the two could only adopt this way of communication, like two mutes communicating, or like a funny pantomime.

"I'm just not used to it." Fan Quan continued writing.

The Dice Man typed and raised his phone screen, which read: "We have to move faster, or the Blue Crow might find this place in the next second."

Fanquan tried to adjust his glasses, but he only touched the Ultraman mask that was blocking his glasses. He wrote, "Not really. This place is very secretive. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bought this basement from those drug dealers."

"So what are you going to do?" the Dice Man typed.

"After seeing the news, Gastello would have used the bugs to control Che Zhengchen's body immediately to confirm the situation," Fanquan wrote. "But now Che Zhengchen is motionless, which means the bugs can't control a person in a coma. So we don't need to rush, we can just take our time."

"Okay, okay." The dice man put one hand on his waist and typed on his phone with the other hand, looking up the screen, "Then I'll listen to you, and let's do something quickly."

"Anyway, get that worm out of him first."

After Fanquan finished writing, he showed it to the Dice Monster, then took out a pair of blood-red gloves from his windbreaker pocket and put them on his hands.

The Dice Monster watched the scene silently.

Fanquan told him that this pair of gloves was called "Blood-Etched Hands" and was a B-level prop that could directly ignore the skin and bones of the human body and reach into the opponent's body to directly touch the organs.

From a combat perspective, this glove allows you to ignore the opponent's outer shell defense and directly explode the opponent's internal organs;
From a medical perspective, this glove can be used to directly operate on the internal organs or other parts of the body that have problems without having to make an incision with a knife;
But the situation now is different. The purpose of the anti-dog is to remove the worm from Gastro's body.

After returning to the city early this morning, he captured an ordinary person who was parasitized by insects. He killed him and performed an autopsy. He then found that the parasite used by Gastro would generally parasitize the target's heart, surrounding the heart like a circle of wool.

So after putting on the blood-stained hand, Fanquan touched Che Zhengchen's chest with his gloved right hand. The bloody glove ignored Che Zhengchen's skin and bones and went straight into his body.

The dog grabbed Che Zhengchen's heart, and then gently supported the thick "black membrane" around the heart.

With a slight tug, the black worm revealed its original form and struggled frantically inside Che Zhengchen's body.

But the power of the insect was not enough, and it was eventually dragged out of Che Zhengchen's body by the anti-dog and pulled into reality.

At the same time, Che Zhengchen coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, he did not wake up and remained in a coma.

The dice man was terrified and secretly smacked his lips. He casually shot out a spider silk to stick to the bug, then pulled it into his hand and pressed it hard to explode.

Amid the insects' hoarse howls, dark blood splattered everywhere, splashing onto the basement floor.

The Dice Man heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that he could finally speak, so he asked, "The worm is out, now what?"

“This is the hypnotic prop.”

As he spoke, Fanquan took off the gloves called "Blood-Etched Hands", put them back into his bag, and took out a pocket watch from his windbreaker pocket.

The copper cover popped open with a click, revealing a small ticking clock with the second hand moving non-stop.

Then, Fanquan pried open Che Zhengchen's eyelids and made Che Zhengchen stare at the clock for a while. Then Che Zhengchen's eyes gradually became empty, and the black spots in his eyes turned into a whirlpool.

Seeing this, Fanquan took out his mobile phone from his pocket, unlocked it, clicked on the photo album, and played a video that he had recorded in advance.

Then the video was turned towards Che Zhengchen's eye that was stretched open.

The video showed a black bug crawling on the dirty ground. There were only two or three frames that were played repeatedly.

At the same time, a magnetic mechanical voice was repeating: "Think back, have you ever seen this kind of bug? Recall the hidden memories in your mind and imagine the scene when you saw this bug."

While the video was playing, the Dice Freak picked up the brain imaging helmet on the ground and put it on Che Zhengchen's head with a slow and gentle movement.

This brain imaging helmet came from the three giants of the Magical Girls League. In order to test whether Little Red Riding Hood is a player, Xiziyue gave the brain imaging helmet to the magical girl Huijin and asked her to be responsible for using the helmet on Little Red Riding Hood.

So after passing the test, Ke Mingye used the alias of Little Red Riding Hood to borrow the helmet from Huijin.

Because Huijin said it could only be used for one day, Ke Mingye had to choose today to do it. After all, he had to return the brain imaging helmet tomorrow, and he couldn't just leave such an important item unreturned. At this moment, as the dice monster put on the brain imaging helmet for Che Zhengchen, he walked around the bed, slowly helped Che Zhengchen up, and then looked at the screen image on the back of the brain imaging helmet.

He activated the second function of the helmet: this function allows the user's brain signals to be intercepted and the images they are imagining to be replicated in reality.

In the past, Ke Mingye, Bai Ziling and others had used this function in Yandai Cinema.

So at this moment, Che Zhengchen, who was in a hypnotic state, could hear the mechanical guidance sound from the mobile phone in his ears.

"Think back, have you ever seen this kind of bug? Recall the hidden memories in your mind and imagine the scene when you saw this bug."

At the same time, his stretched eye was forced to stare at the black bug in the video.

After such a series of punches, Ke Mingye didn't believe that Che Zhengchen still couldn't recall the memory of being parasitized by the bugs. However, the screen of the brain imaging helmet did not show any reaction, only flashing black and white snowflakes.

"He seems to be nearsighted. He might not be able to see the screen on the phone clearly. How about letting him wear your glasses?" said the Dice Monster.

Fanquan shook his head: "Not really, don't act weird at this time."

As the two talked, the back of the brain imaging helmet slowly showed Che Zhengchen's imaginary scene. It seemed that under the effect of this combination of hypnosis and suggestion, his brain finally responded.

The picture showed Che Zhengchen's first-person perspective: he was sitting in a private pub, drinking alone, picking up his phone and quietly looking at a photo. The photo showed a handsome young man.

The dice man looked at Che Zhengchen's memories and said, "The guy in the photo should be his son."

"How do you know each other?" Fanquan asked.

"He said his son is a gray pigeon, understand?"

"Oh, the hero who was dismembered by the Clock Man?"

"correct."

"No wonder Che Zhengchen favors you so much. It seems that it's mostly emotional. I thought someone really liked your superhero image with mediocre kung fu skills."

"That's enough. My Blue Owl is at least a D-class superhuman in the system rating. You've made him look useless."

"It's better to blame something."

"The weird thing is right here. The weird thing says thank you for praising it, but it doesn't affect you being a stuffy bitch."

"Stop shouting. Watch carefully. Be careful not to miss any clues about Gastro's true form."

In the brain imaging screen, Che Zhengchen was staring at his son's photo when suddenly a girl in a wheelchair entered the bar. She turned the wheel with both hands and pushed the wheelchair to his side.

Seeing this scene, Anti-Dog and Dice Monster both focused slightly.

Che Zhengchen turned his head drowsily, took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes and put them back on. The image of the girl in his eyes gradually became clearer.

She had shoulder-length red hair, wore a classic British-style cloth skirt, and held a cane in her hand. She had a pretty face, but her clear eyes contained a kind of playfulness that was difficult to conceal.

The girl said something, then raised her crutch and blocked Che Zhengchen's throat.

The next moment, a black worm crawled along the handle of the crutch to the end and quickly stuffed into Che Zhengchen's mouth.

Che Zhengchen collapsed to the ground with his hands covering his throat, slowly closing his eyes and losing consciousness. The brain imaging screen also went dark.

Anti-Dog and Dice Freak turned their heads and looked at each other.

They have used their cell phones to take photos of the girl's face in the brain imaging footage.

And even if the girl was wearing a human face mask at the time, at least they had obtained her main identity: a disabled girl in a wheelchair.

"This should be Gastro himself." Anti-Dog said.

The Dice Man nodded, silently looked at the photo he had taken with his phone for a while, and then said, "Then the next task of finding Gastro should be handed over to Cai Bing."

"Then I'm leaving. You should find a way to bring Che Zhengchen back."

"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you this time, you intellectual."

"It's no trouble. Cai Bing and I have reached a consensus that I will clean your ass for you."

Anti-Dog said, turning his head to glance at the dice freak, then slowly walked out of the basement.
