底下的鬼子叽里呱啦，二人半句也听不懂。
“未必，你看那边的矿工营地安然无恙，若真有不测，先遭殃的该是他们，而非这些士兵。”
副官指向一旁的营地，低声说道。
那里囚禁着被迫采掘的矿工，此刻却未见异常。
矿山上异常寂静，工人们一个都没有出现。
抓个人来问问情况吧。
二月红提议道。
两人悄悄接近矿区，迅速制服了一名年长的矿工。
被擒的矿工起初惊慌失措，发现不是日军才稍微平静下来。
矿里出了什么事？为什么死了这么多日本兵？副官直截了当地问。
听见熟悉的乡音，矿工顿时激动起来：具体不清楚，但听说他们遇到了鬼怪，一个黑鬼和一个白鬼王。
鬼？黑鬼和白鬼？二月红急切地追问。
前两天日本巡逻队发现有人偷矿，带着小队去查看。
黑暗中突然蹿出个白色怪物，满身白毛像大猩猩，瞬间杀光了那些日本兵。
日本人当然不甘心，再次派兵探查，这次却遇到个黑色鬼影，士兵们根本看不清模样就离奇死亡。
日本人没逼迫你们进去？副官质疑道。
当然有！第二天就逼我们进矿洞，可我们进去后全都昏迷了，醒来发现日本人
the scene appeared gruesome, clearly not a natural death.
Strange, it doesnt seem like poisoning either, the adjutant muttered under his breath.
February Red nodded slightly before lifting the corthe eyeballs were densely lined with veins—all ruptured, indicating the victim had endured extreme pressure.
Realizing this, February Red cautiously parted the scalp.
Just as I thought. Someone drove a sharp weapon into their skull, causing such a horrific death.
the wound is hidden beneath the scalp, making it difficult to detect, February Red whispered to the adjutant.
this... brother Lin? the adjutant sounded shocked.
February Red replied, Aside from him, I cant think of anyone else with such methods.
Should we sneak in now? those Japanese are still organizing their men.
Look, their weapons are flamethrowers—they plan to use fire against brother Lin.
the adjutant pointed at the Japanese soldiers in the distance.
the men carried flame projectors, likely believing they were dealing with ghosts.
they intended to use flames to eliminate whatever lurked inside, unaware it was all manLets move! we must find brother Lin quickly. February Red urged.
Since they suspected Lin chuan was involved, there was no need for an extensive search—they simply needed to follow the Japanese.
the mines tunnels were plex, riddled with winding paths.
both men were highly skilled, making trailing the soldiers easy.
however, the Japanese seemed terrified, randomly spraying flames as they advanced.
the walls grew scorching hot, forcing the duo to keep their distance to avoid burns from the searing stone.
when they finally followed the Japanese deep into the mines, the enemy soldiers began shouting in inprehensible gibberish.
then, waves of flames erupted from their weapons, blasting forward relentlessly.
heat surged through the cavern in successive waves.
As the two exchanged confused glances, a sudden sense of danger prickled behind them.
their hearts pounded—how had someone approached without their notice?
when they turned, a grotesque creature stood before them.
Jetit clutched a set of slender needles in its grip.
February Reds breath hitched—this was undoubtedly the black monster responsible for the Japanese soldiers deaths.
...
chapter 170: the black monster Stuns the Nine Gates
the crimson orbs on the creatures face burned like eyes,
fixing an unblinking gaze on the two men.
cold sweat trickled down February Red and the adjutants backs.
they couldnt even sense its presence—as though it didn’t belong to this world at all.
四周寂静无声，二月红和副官却忽然感到一丝寒意袭来。
那团黑影只是淡漠地瞥了他们一眼，随即指尖的银针悄然消散，它的身形如同融入夜色般闪退，顷刻间便消失了踪迹。
“啊——”
前方的矿道骤然传出一连串凄厉的惨叫。
二月红与副官刚察觉到那股危险气息消退，便被这动静惊动。
他们迅速向前望去，只见黑暗中有冷光微闪。
所幸二人皆是身手不凡，勉强捕捉到那黑色怪物的踪影——正是先前所见的“它”
。
此刻，他们猛然想起矿工的提醒：这黑色的怪物只会索要鬼子的性命，而对待其他人，至多击晕罢了。
“啊！快逃！”
鬼子们早已乱成一团，根本辨不清袭击者的真容，只能眼睁睁看着同伴一个接一个倒下，痛苦抽搐。
恐惧在人群中蔓延，他们疯狂地挥舞着喷火器，火焰肆虐四周，试图逼出那神出鬼没的黑影。
然而，一切都是徒劳。
二月红和副官清晰看到，那黑影在烈焰中穿行自如，鬼子的火焰不仅未能伤其分毫，反倒误杀了数名同伙。
“这速度……恐怕只有林川能与之匹敌。”
副官骇然低语。
二月红默然点头。
那黑影的速度简直超越了常理，仿佛世间引力对它毫无束缚。
