There were only fifteen paper figurines that first appeared in the alleys. Judging from their shoddy facial features and distorted body contours, these paper figurines were as human as human beings, and each paper figurine was unique. , not the mass-produced products in the wreath shop...in a way, they are very human.

But in Chen Xian's view, rather than saying that they are similar to humans, it is better to say that they are some kind of weird and unknown giant cells.

Just like a real cell, it can divide itself and then continuously generate new individuals.

One for two, two for four, four for eight...

The "newborn" produced by the split of the ontology has a very low degree of similarity with the ontology. Both gender and appearance are very different from the ontology. It can be said that it is another creature independent of the ontology.

For example, a young and thin paper figurine will split into an old and bloated paper figurine, or a male paper figurine will split into a female paper figurine......

Each paper figurine split into a new individual, and the main body would quickly recover from its injuries, so their overall number gradually increased from fifteen at the beginning to thirty.

"I can't kill them anymore... At least I can't attack them at will at the physical level..." Chen Xian muttered to himself, his eyes were full of confusion and confusion, because he couldn't imagine it at all. Find out what the body structure of these paper people is all about.

Judging from the physical details that can be observed with the naked eye, these paper figurines are almost mutated replicas of humans. Although they do not have any organs in their bodies, it can be seen that they have a complete network of blood vessels and nerve tissue, and transport in these tissues The circulating Yin Qi particles should also be liquid.

Compared with those abnormal beings with exquisite structures, the structure of these paper figures is slightly rough, and it can be said that they are completely shoddy, but they actually have this kind of ability that have never seen before...

"How many paper figurines originally appeared in this housing area?" Chen Xian asked suddenly, as if he had thought of something, and looked back at Lu Yisheng, "Does the investigation department have any exact records?"

"Not sure." Lu Yisheng replied meticulously. Although he usually looks very unreliable, he will not loose the chain on such a major event. He has memorized all the information that should be kept in his mind. "But as far as the paper figurines they met, there were only four of them, so it's impossible to have as many as they are now."

"This doesn't match up." Chen Xian smiled suddenly, as if he had discovered Columbus in the New World, his eyes flashed with rare excitement, "After the people from the Investigation Department exited the housing area, the Tu Ke from the Armed Forces Department Chang brought people in, and they saw more than four paper figures."

"Could it be that these paper figurines were hiding? The people in the investigation department just didn't meet them?" Lu Yisheng carefully assumed.

"I can't tell, but I feel that they have a strong desire to attack." Chen Xian shook his head and said, "When we stepped into the housing area before, I felt that something nearby was following us. It's very sensitive, it's unlikely to hide, but why those investigators didn't see them...I don't know."

Before Chen Xian and the others entered the housing area, Tu Sen had provided them with a lot of information.

According to Tu Sen, after the Armed Forces Section entered the housing area, there was no accident, until they stepped into the garden square in the center of the housing area... There were densely packed paper figures.

No matter what kind of weapon they use, after knocking down the paper figurines, they will stand up again very quickly, seeming to have a self-healing power that is immune to most weapons.

The more paper figurines were eliminated, the more paper figurines squeezed into the garden square, until finally they couldn't resist the siege of so many paper figurines, and could only escape in embarrassment.

From these basic information, Chen Xian can summarize the following key points.

First, there are hundreds of paper figurines in the housing area, definitely not just the four that the investigation department saw.

Second, after the Armed Forces Section entered the housing area and conducted a large-scale survey, the number of paper people they encountered was closer to the real number, because there was an important point—

As far as the current situation is concerned, paper figurines have almost perfect splitting ability, and the "newborns" they split out can grow to the size of common paper figurines in a very short period of time. In just a few tens of seconds, you can cross the newborn period and enter the mature period.

But the basis of all this must be established in the case of the paper figurine being killed, at least Chen Xian speculated that only when the paper figurine's body is split by an external force will they passively show the ability to split and regenerate. Under the influence of external forces, their bodies should not actively split.

That's easy to say.

The members of the investigation department are not combat members. There is such a rule in the secret bureau. If a member of the investigation department (section) encounters an abnormal life in the work of the investigation and detective, then the abnormal life should be recorded as soon as possible. Signs of life and certain clues, but if there is no opportunity to record this information and the situation is extremely dangerous, then they should choose to flee the scene.

Most of the investigators are ordinary people, so they do not have strong combat power. What they are good at is only investigation and exploration, and the task of fighting against abnormal life is not their responsibility.

Just because of this, Chen Xian can conclude... After the investigators entered the housing area, they should not have fought with the paper figurines. Even if there was, it was only a small friction. can be ignored.

In this way, when the Armed Forces Section entered the housing area, even if the Investigation Department had called the front station before, the paper figurines in this housing area did not have a large-scale split. There are at least a thousand paper figurines hiding in the film room area.

"Boss...what are we going to do now..." Lu Yisheng's voice trembled a little, because he found that the paper figures that were split out had already stood firm, the same as the main body. Staggeringly walking in the alley, "Why don't we withdraw first... I feel like these things can't be killed..."

"I want to try." Chen Xian clenched the meat saw in his hand, his eyes became more and more strange, like a beast that has been hungry for a long time but suddenly saw food, the kind of The hunger that hit him without warning made him want to jump up and feast on it now, "Stand back, I'm afraid of hurting you by accident."

"Boss...you should be careful...I don't think these things are quite right..."

Not quite right?

Chen Xian felt that something was wrong for a long time, because all these phenomena were too obvious. After those paper figurines completed the steps of splitting and gave birth to newborns, their main bodies and split derivatives changed slightly.

The most obvious change is their eyes.

Originally, the eyes of these paper figurines were all a layer of "skin", and there was no clear eyeball tissue in the eye sockets, only a layer of translucent plastic film, which tightly blocked the holes in the two eyes.

But at this moment, those oily and greasy films were covered with a layer of black liquid.

Those liquids seem to have flowed out of the paper figurines. They did not flow down the corners of their eyes, but gathered on the "eyeballs" and kept squirming, like some kind of unknown liquid parasite, those black liquids. While squirming, many tentacles with long and short fingernails stretched out, like eyeballs parasitized by fly maggots, giving people goosebumps to look at.

"Paper figurines seem to be infected by them..." Lu Yisheng's voice became smaller and smaller, as if he was afraid that his loud voice would attract the attention of those paper figurines, "Boss... If you don't, we'll withdraw... those paper people hurt you, but you..."

"Don't worry, I'm sure." Chen Xian smiled, "Maybe I'll take you to run again, nothing will happen."

As soon as Chen Xian's words fell, the two paper figurines closest to him had already rushed up, as if they had been hit with stimulants. Their movements were much faster than before, and the speed of the circulation of Yin Qi particles in their bodies also accelerated. Several times, it seems that their physical functions have improved after splitting...and more than one step!

Chen Xian did not dodge.

Of course, he couldn't dodge in this narrow alley, so he could only run forward head-on, but he didn't use the meat saw to split them completely like before...

Without warning, Chen Xian pressed the metal button on the side of the meat saw, folded the blade close to the handle with lightning speed, and then slid his palm forward half an inch, pressing his arm against the handle .

In this way, the long axe is also turned into an arm knife, and its flexibility and flexibility have been greatly improved.

Lu Yisheng, who was not waiting to watch, could see his movements clearly. With the muffled sound of the blade cutting through flesh and blood, the two abnormal beings who were supposed to be in the state of paper figurines actually spurted out the stench of "blood" at the moment when their bodies were broken. ”, and their wounds were like fountains, and those translucent yellow oily liquids spurted out of them, exuding an extremely pungent smell...

Anyone who smells the stench in the air might not be able to help but spit it out, but Chen Xian is not an ordinary person.

Before the other paper figurines had time to rush forward, Chen Xian had already bent down to pick up the half-body wreckage that had been split open by himself, opened his mouth wide and bit on the wreckage's neck without hesitation.

With the disturbing sound of chewing, Chen Xian unhurriedly chewed up the paper man's cervical vertebrae, and began to nibble its head with a calm expression on his face.

Perhaps at this moment, Chen Xian is more frightening than those paper figures, because in the eyes of most people——

He is a human who is more like a demon than a demon.
