Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

Leon, why are you so sure?

Brea looked at the Rowe Mall with a confused expression.

Intuition. Leon replied.

Um... Brea instinctively disbelieved.

In fact, Leon was telling the truth.

His intuition told himself that there must be anomalies in the shopping mall that hasn't opened yet.

The crimes of the deceased were all over the bustling areas of the city, but if they were marked on the map, it would not be difficult to find that the Luowei shopping mall was located in the center of the deceased.

The Venice police also discovered this.

As Brea had said before, the police had thoroughly checked the mall.

In order to avoid being gossiped by others, the mall investor also took the initiative to increase the number of security guards. If the suspect is not a fool, it is designated that it is impossible to hide in the mall again.

But what if the suspect is not human?

The police would never focus their investigation on anomalous phenomena, but Leon would.

He drank the remaining coffee in the cup, then threw it into the trash can not far away, and persuaded Brea:

Breya, the next investigation can be handled by our Interpol.

finished.

Leon took out a .45 caliber HK USP pistol from the quick-draw holster on his waist.

loaded.

off insurance.

Put the holster back on.

After completing the above process, Leon took out the special agent's mobile phone and applied for support from the Venice branch, and then walked towards the Rowe mall.

wait!

Brea hurriedly grabbed Leon's right wrist, stopped her seemingly incomprehensible reckless behavior, and said slightly angrily:

Lyon, this is Venice. No matter what, it's not up to you Interpol to take over, right? Or do you know something inside the Interpol? I'll go with you.

... Leon didn't answer.

However, intelligence personnel are equipped with UEN-001 (silver rod for erasing memories), which is used to help witnesses in the first place and clear memories about abnormal phenomena.

Even though Leon and the intelligence officers who graduated at the same time are all interns, they still have UEN-001 and exclusive sunglasses.

Think for a moment.

Okay, but you have to let go of my hand first, Brea, do you still want me to buy you a cup of coffee? Hehe. Leon said in a slightly teasing tone.

Brea let go, but she didn't bother to pay attention to Leon's teasing.

Handsome is handsome, and he is also very friendly, but Leon always gives her the feeling of a scumbag, and it is impossible for her to have feelings for Leon anyway.

Hey, woman.

Seeing that Brea ignored him and walked towards the mall with an attitude of ignoring him, Leon couldn't help laughing at himself.

soon.

The two of them came to the entrance of Luo Wei Shopping Center.

The security guard at the door just glanced at their IDs and let them enter the mall to investigate.

And the foreman of the security guard personally accompanied them in the investigation.

It may be to save electricity bills, or to save electricity, there are not many lighting devices at work in the mall.

When encountering dark areas such as storage rooms, bathrooms, and stairwells, Leon and others need to turn on the flashlight to provide light.

On the first floor of the huge shopping mall, there is nothing useful to discover.

In the physical stores under renovation and after renovation, the floor tiles are covered with dust caused by renovation, and there are a large number of disposable packaging bags and empty cardboard boxes.

Dirty and messy.

But this is all normal.

In some stores that have been renovated, the internal shelves are already filled with goods, and a layer of transparent dust-proof cloth has been laid to prevent dust from contaminating the goods.

It seems that they are waiting for the day when the shopping mall will open.

No one was found on the first floor, so Leon, Brea and the security foreman continued to go to the second floor.

The second floor is dedicated to men's clothing and sports brands.

The decoration here is basically completed, the floor tiles are much cleaner than the first floor, and there are many mannequins for displaying clothes, which are randomly placed in the aisle by the staff.

The shopping mall is not open now, and there are only Leon and others and security guards patrolling from time to time, so I don't feel how disturbed these messy mannequins are.

But when they passed the area full of suit shops, a male mannequin suddenly moved behind them.

There was no wind, no earthquake, the mannequin moved by itself.

At the same time, its head slowly twisted, its eyes stared blankly at Leon's back, and then...

The mouth splits open rapidly, exposing the tooth-like tissue inside.

Immediately afterwards, all the male models in this area seemed to come to life, and silently followed behind Leon and the others.

Leon, who was walking ahead, they hadn't noticed yet.

Did I say that the two police officers have finished their investigation?

The security foreman seemed to dislike the second floor, especially these motionless mannequins, so he seemed a little impatient.

... Leon didn't answer.

We can check it ourselves, you don't need to follow. Brea replied.

Hey, okay, then you two police officers will be busy first, but don't mess with things, even the police will lose money.

Before leaving, the security foreman gave instructions to the two of them, and then went back the same way, preparing to leave this creepy second floor.

?

I remember, it didn't seem to be like this just now, wait...how come they still have their mouths open?

The security foreman didn't go far before he noticed the abnormality of those mannequins.

Ah------!!! A scream came from behind Leon and Brea.

? ? ! !

The two immediately turned around and saw the limbs of the security foreman being violently ripped off by the mannequins.

Pfft! Blood was immediately sprayed on the floor.

Crack! This was also mixed with the sound of bones being broken.

Save me...save me...save...

The security guards were still calling for help from Leon and the others, but the blood flow was too fast, and he finally closed his eyes completely and fell into a coma...

until death.

No! Leon drew his gun furiously and shot.

Crack! Crack! HK USP's gunshots suddenly spread to the entire shopping mall.

Bang~wow~! The mannequin who was penetrated by the .45acp bullet made a sound like ceramics being crushed.

Moreover, a black viscous liquid flowed from the gunshot wound.

But that wasn't enough to stop the mannequins from moving.

Seeing this, Leon immediately aimed at the mannequin's head, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Snapped!

Wow~!

This time, the whole body of the mannequin whose head was crushed shattered, and the black liquid splashed on the floor and the body of the security guard next door.

As a police officer should have the reaction and quality, Brea also immediately took out his gun, ready to assist Lyon in coping with the current situation.

This...! Leon! What's going on!

But after she saw the tragic death of the security guard next door, and those mannequins that could only appear in ghost movies, the uncanny valley effect directly reached its peak.

Suddenly, all the mannequins cast their dull eyes on them.
