Krafft's Notes on Anomalies

Chapter 181 Community

At this time, perhaps we should sigh with emotion, what is the psychology of this extremely imaginative and self-convincing pagan religion that sent dozens of people to meet the "angel", and personally answered a long-standing question: Creeping What exactly happens after a creature successfully captures its prey?

Now the answer is revealed - it will expand without limit at an astonishing scale, so big that the fungus-scale arms can fall down like beams.

The mushroom light column twists and rises, like a long neck being pulled up by dozens of arms, and is swung down by its own weight and segmental contraction. The bricks and stones built by faith are in vain in the face of its power.

Kraft threw out the torch and rolled it under the desk that had been moved to the side. The gravel bleached by the bright light fell like a rain of light and submerged into the enlarged mushrooms on the bookshelf, causing a dull sound like falling water and splashing spore dust.

"What a rude guy!" It didn't even need to knock on the window, it directly smashed the window and half of the wall together.

The torch successfully ignited the grease, but Kraft knew that it was meaningless. The fire was not a threat to the thing, just a small and unnecessary flame.

Without a second thought, he quickly stood up and fled the table that provided a false sense of security. As expected, the second huge arm struck down vertically, turning everything in its path, including the table, into a pile of construction debris.

They shouldn't run backwards. Martin and Coop were struggling to escape from the mushroom-filled corridor, so they had to lure the thing away.

Before the next round of attacks arrived, he jumped out of the wall that was smashed through. Fortunately it was not a cathedral, otherwise the height of the second floor would have been enough to cause compression fractures, say goodbye to the tibia of those who did not roll, and dislocate the spine of those who did roll.

According to the actual floor height based on the average height, Kraft only fell less than three meters. He also kicked on the bulge in the air, landed and ran towards the cottage.

There is no longer any need for torches for lighting. With such a large light source behind you, you can clearly see the movement of every cilia on the velvet on the floor. The worst part now is the strong light changes, the undulations of the ground are confusing and beyond the ability to distinguish. For a while, everything in the entire field of vision is flickering alternately and hurting the eyeballs.

The light behind him shone brightly, and he skillfully dodged aside. His arms and legs dropped to bring up the air current, and the ripples on the velvet were spread out, which further aggravated the visual confusion, forcing Kraft to squint his eyes and connect his mental senses.

Obviously, from a morphological point of view, a horizontal sweep is more convenient, but its actions three times in a row were to raise its giant arms and swing them down vertically. This is not a coincidence.

After the body expands, there is no fundamental change in the basic tissues that make up it. The muscles are still the same set of muscles, and the bones are still the same set of bones. Just relying on this system, it is incredible that I have not been crushed by my own weight.

When the host body limbs are cut off, the hyphae seen on the atrophic muscle section may not only play a role in control, but also allow the almost non-stressed muscle bundles to withstand explosive loads.

The action of raising the arms and legs and then lowering them down may seem powerful, but in fact it is the largest action that can be done reluctantly. It requires lifting it up in sections. Compared with the flexible arms and legs of a normal creeping creature, this movement feels as stiff as ankylosing spondylitis, and some parts are twisted and bent.

As for the more complex sweep, it is estimated that the inertia alone can tear the limbs apart. Most of the arms and legs can only lie on the ground and pull the body forward.

Although the range of motion does not appear to be fast, it is still incredibly fast when scaled up to this size, and each advance accompanied by a swing of the giant arms and legs clears a large area of ​​obstacles.

That kind of power can smash through the walls of churches, and can also destroy simple houses like knocking down children's building blocks. The ruins of the walls are swept into the crawling arms and legs, and everything in their path is flattened. Complex roadways are an impediment to human movement, not an impediment to it.

Kraft sensed this when the arms blocked his path for the third time. His mental senses told him what was brewing in those closed mouthparts, and the imperceptible bulging cavities were hidden under the scales.

He turned and fled another way in time. The spores and air flow quickly passed through the throat cavity of the bacteria, and the whistle whistle instantly flooded the path. The light passed through the rushing dust and mist of changing colors, refracting the flood of iridescent phosphorescence.

He quickly determined the direction and fled away from the church. This wasted a few seconds. Another arm and leg swung down from above the sensing range, and the giant mushrooms at the exit of the alleyway in front of him were extremely crowded and moved closer to each other at a slow speed. .

Even though Kraft's reflexes were enough to confuse him for a moment, he then stepped onto the incompletely closed mushroom umbrella and climbed up to the roof. The commotion of the fungus seemed to be consciously swinging in the opposite direction, trying to slide his palm away.

The spiritual senses scanned a strange non-material thing. The "texture" was very similar to the spiritual body that Kupp could observe when he was about to be dragged into the deep depths. However, it was not combined with matter, but just wandered around in the flora, wherever it went. The mushroom umbrellas close up, blocking the space.

The red condensations on the mature umbrella lights up as it passes by, indicating its trajectory.

This is the kind of thing that can be vaguely felt after the host body loses control, like some kind of unstable low-level soul, invisible spider, walking through the network of hyphae, stirring the ubiquitous threads.

It does not belong to a certain body, or anything infected by the fungus can become its body.

【It is an angel】

Kraft deliberately slowed down his pace, allowing the attack to land close by, seizing the time when his arms and legs did not make the next move to scan the interior. The same "little spiritual body" resides in densely packed hyphae, and there are two places where light falls within the range of perception.

The wrist and foot then move segmentally as before. This exposed the essence of its movement - each segment hosts an erratic individual, which controls the activities of the "branched" segments through mycelium, and work together to synthesize the large movements of this huge arm.

Through a fungal infection, they took over the largest body they had ever come into contact with and modified it to suit their needs. However, this kind of cooperation is ultimately inferior to the consistent control of the original will, showing an abnormal disharmony.

what is this? Mushrooms taking over the house? Kraft quickly moved away from the giant arm that was being manipulated to twist, and jumped to another roof. He couldn't figure out what they were supposed to be and where they came from. They had characteristics similar to spiritual bodies, and their essence was based on fungi.

Perhaps they themselves are spiritual and spiritual bodies born in the deep bacterial forest. And with the help of Edward's immature magic, the pagan religion transformed people into living beings, bringing about creeping creatures that could communicate with the real world, providing them with special bodies to live in and showing them another world, a more fertile world.

"Damn Edward, damn the infidel!" Kraft jumped from rooftop to rooftop, dodging the arms and legs. The frequency of the attacks was increasing. On the contrary, the whole world seemed to be against him. Several bacterial spirits broke away from the bodies of the creeping creatures and wandered around, staining every glowing mushroom in the field of vision.

The environment is full of controllable fungi, and their control is becoming more frequent. First, the fungus carpet slipped under his feet, and the wall that had been penetrated by erosion collapsed. Then, the roof support softened and broke, and the entire ground sank. When he lost his footing, his arms and legs struck him.

The combination of the two makes the situation dangerous, and it is not impossible to catch up if this continues.

The body felt a bit sore and bloated during the high-speed exercise, and the consciousness was still high. It was roughly estimated that the time the mental senses could be maintained had quietly exceeded half of the previous limit, and the headache and dizziness caused by energy consumption had not yet come. The left arm has been silent since entering the deep layer. It is as dexterous as before. The inlay exudes a sense of affinity that is not sure whether it is physical sensation or cognition, a sense of affinity that is vaguely counter-intuitive.

Light, he subconsciously felt that the activities here were comfortable, as if he was out of gravity, forgetting about physical fatigue, and bathing in the unknown sense of intimacy. The surface consciousness is becoming more and more wary of this tendency. The instinctive strangeness when reaching the deep level is fading away, and the lightness is close to the darkness of the deep world in the spiritual senses.

But it felt really good to use his spiritual senses, and even though he understood that every use was a recognition of a deeper tendency, he used it prudently and looked forward to the opportunity to use it appropriately.

It was a part of him, a new organ, a spiritual limb, and moving it was as natural as moving his hands and feet.

When a bacterium passes nearby, the subconscious attention is attracted and the spirit is mobilized to "touch" it. This does not require thinking. Why does it require thinking to reflexively catch a flying object with your hands?

Kraft truly felt that he had "touched" it, using his own spirit to come into contact with the wandering fuzzy spiritual body. The feedback feedback seemed to catch an amorphous pom-pom, and its movement was hindered. , accelerated to break away as if frightened, and escaped from the sensing range.

This inspired Kraft that immaterial things can also be touched by immaterial spirits. The spirit once again successfully contacted the bacterial spirit lurking at the next foothold and drove it away, and the bacterial surface returned to calm.

When the arms and legs fell, he repeated his old trick and mentally pulled one section of the bacterium. It contracted violently to fight against it, and that section of the arms and legs also temporarily lost control. The tone that other segments were about to be sprayed with spore clouds made Kraft give up his intention to continue wrestling with it.

However, this is not in vain. After several trials, the environmental obstacles to movement are significantly reduced, and the bacteria in the wrist and feet increase and the movement speeds up. This is much better than the unpredictable terrain trap.

It's just that the use of spiritual organs makes the subjective consciousness feel very strange. Compared with the previous empty spirit, the current spiritual presence is stronger and closer to some real organs and limbs, as if he is also an inhuman creature. Waving countless invisible arms and legs to capture smaller spiritual bodies.

Under deliberate inducement, the chase moved from the center of the village to the edge. Kraft calculated that it would be enough time for Kupp and Martin to reach the heights of the church. By this time, they would probably be able to climb up on the steeple and look at the moon.

"I hope the repatriation experience for both of you will not be too bad, leaving a psychological shadow or something." He stopped and turned around to face the manipulated body.

According to estimates, the followers should have all gathered at the church, and it was unlikely that there would be anyone at the corresponding location on the edge of the village, which was in line with the plan.

The plan was of course not to run away until he was exhausted. He just wanted to buy some time and find a place where it was not easy to be accidentally injured to solve the problem.

"And you...your control level is indeed not as good as the original owner." With his left arm tensed, Kraft felt the embedded bodies that had come from the same source. It was time to use his deep applications.
