That eerie musical movement, specially prepared for this dance of death, still spiraled above the empty ballroom.
Jill's gaze swept sharply across the four deformed dancers rolling in agony on the floor.
The bright light and loud noise had inflicted damage far beyond expectations; it seemed that while these creatures gained high-speed movement, they paid the price of their sensory Systems becoming extremely fragile.
Her vision locked precisely onto an extremely unnatural part of their bodies.
From the base of the spine up to the back of the neck, the flesh was twitching violently and uncontrollably at a high frequency.
It felt as if a living thing had been forcibly stuffed under their thin skin, struggling frantically to burst out of the body.
parasites.
That was the location of the parasite's control center.
The fragments of intelligence provided by Mr. T were rapidly retrieved, analyzed, and connected in her mind like computer data.
Umbrella's early parasite-implanted B.O.W.s often sacrificed biological armor thickness for host agility and aggression, connecting the parasite directly to the host's central nervous System.
This was both the source of their power and their most fatal weakness!
Strike while the iron is hot!
This ancient Eastern proverb was a creed that any excellent soldier must carve into their bones.
There was no longer any hesitation in Jill's eyes.
The opportunity was fleeting.
She didn't choose the powerful but high-recoil Grenade Launcher.
In a situation requiring continuous precision shots, any extra muzzle jump could cause the bullet to deviate.
The "Samurai's Edge" at her waist was the best choice for this moment.
She whipped out the Beretta 92F, custom-made by Kendo Gun Shop; the cold touch of the gun instantly calmed her heart, which was racing from combat.
There were no redundant aiming movements.
After countless life-and-death struggles, this gun had long since become a part of her body, the most natural extension of her arm.
She bent her legs slightly, lowering her center of gravity.
Her index finger pulled the trigger gently yet decisively.
"Bang!"
The crisp gunshot sounded exceptionally abrupt amidst the noisy dance music and the monsters' painful shrieks.
A 9mm bullet spiraled out with a gust of air.
It drilled precisely into the twitching back of the neck of the nearest deformed dancer!
"Puchi!"
A dull sound, like a rotten watermelon being punctured.
The dancer's struggling movements stopped abruptly.
A disgusting mass of dark green mucus and shredded flesh burst from the back of its neck, splashing everywhere.
Its twisted body collapsed limply, as if all its bones had been removed, and after a few violent twitches, it moved no more.
Jill's muzzle didn't pause for a second.
"Bang!"
The second gunshot followed immediately.
Another bullet accurately hit the second dancer's equally fatal weak point.
However, just as she prepared to fire at the third target.
Perhaps the death of their companions stimulated them.
Or perhaps the effect of the flashbang was rapidly fading.
The remaining two deformed dancers actually let out a sharp shriek filled with pain and malice!
From their pale eyeballs, temporarily blinded by the intense light, flowed two streaks of thick black blood!
They abruptly stopped their meaningless rolling on the ground, and their twisted limbs pushed off the floor like springs!
Their entire bodies instantly vaulted off the ground!
The instinct for survival overrode the desire to kill.
They were like two startled giant spiders, using their hands and feet to climb frantically up the smooth walls of the ballroom at a dizzying speed!
In almost the blink of an eye, they had climbed back onto the high ceiling, skillfully using the large, complex shadows cast by the crystal chandeliers to completely hide their forms in the deep darkness.
Jill's brow furrowed slightly.
She didn't waste any more bullets.
Firing blindly without absolute certainty would only expose her position and waste her already scarce ammunition.
She slowly holstered the "Samurai's Edge."
Two left.
She had to be constantly on guard against an ambush from above.
Just as this thought arose.
"Crack... snap..."
An ominous, crisp sound, like a joint being forcibly snapped, came from the other side of the ballroom.
Jill's gaze instantly turned toward the source of the sound.
It was a huge long table covered with a white tablecloth at the edge of the ballroom.
Seated on both sides of the long table were over a dozen wax figures dressed in magnificent, retro noble attire.
In their hands, some held wine glasses, some held cutlery; they were in various poses and looked lifelike.
And now.
Four of the wax figures dressed as male nobles were slowly standing up from their seats.
The expressions on their faces remained those gentle smiles of aristocratic reserve.
But their bodies were undergoing a terrifying, hair-raising transformation!
The layer of waxy yellow skin on the surface of their bodies was rapidly swelling and bulging at a visible rate!
It was as if someone were using a giant air hose to frantically inject some unknown gas into their bodies!
"Rippp—!"
The magnificent formal wear that had been fairly well-fitting was instantly burst open by their rapidly expanding bodies!
The sound of fabric tearing was constant!
Large patches of pale, bloated skin, like that of a drowned corpse, were exposed through the torn seams of the clothes.
The surface of that skin was even covered with a disgusting membrane that constantly dripped transparent mucus.
Their bodies continued to swell!
Soon, they transformed from normal human-sized figures into bloated mountains of white flesh, over two meters tall!
Their features had long been completely distorted by the bloated flesh.
Only two eyes the size of black beans and a mouth that constantly dripped foul-smelling saliva remained.
Regenerators!
Jill's heart sank abruptly.
Although she hadn't seen these monsters with her own eyes, she had read detailed descriptions of them more than once in the intelligence provided by Mr. T.
A terrifying biological weapon created by aggregating multiple parasites, possessing ultra-high-speed regenerative abilities!
Conventional firearm attacks were almost meaningless against them!
Unless all the parasites inside their bodies could be destroyed at the same time!
Otherwise, they were immortal beings!
The four white mountains of flesh, which no longer looked human, slowly turned their bloated bodies.
The four pairs of eyes, squeezed into mere slits by the fat, locked onto Jill.
They took heavy, thick steps like elephant legs.
"Thump... thump... thump..."
Every step caused a dull, heart-pounding vibration on the hard black marble floor.
They slowly closed in on Jill.
A thick, unique stench, a mix of formalin and rotting meat, began to permeate the entire ballroom.
Jill's expression became incredibly solemn.
Without any hesitation, she immediately gripped the ump9 submachine gun in her hands again!
Facing such monsters with terrifying regenerative abilities, any hint of hesitation could drag her into an abyss of no return!
"Da da da da da da da—!!!"
A violent tongue of fire frantically spat out from the dark muzzle!
Countless bullets formed a lethal metal storm, fiercely sweeping toward the four slowly approaching white mountains of flesh!
The bullets easily tore through their bloated skin, which seemed to have no defense.
They left behind huge, terrifying bullet holes that were deep enough to see bone!
White fat, mixed with dark red flesh, splattered everywhere like a fountain!
However.
There was no joy on Jill's face.
Because she clearly saw.
Those terrifying wounds torn open by the bullets were rapidly wriggling and healing at an amazing speed that violated all biological common sense!
Countless new buds of flesh, like frantically growing vines, rapidly grew, interlaced, and entangled from the edges of the wounds!
In almost just two or three breaths of time.
Their bloated bodies, which had been riddled with holes, had already restored themselves to their original state!
Not even a single trace of their previous injuries could be seen!
"Damn it!"
Jill cursed under her breath.
She immediately stopped the pointless pouring of firepower.
And it was at that moment!
One of the Regenerators seemed to be completely enraged by her attack!
Its bloated, unsightly body suddenly ground to a halt.
Then, those two thick arms, like white pillars of flesh, suddenly stretched forward with no warning in an extremely eerie manner!
The arms were like two giant rubber bands with infinite elasticity!
In almost an instant, they had crossed several meters of distance!
They lunged toward Jill's body, clawing fiercely!
This sudden and completely irrational attack method caused Jill's pupils to shrink instantly!
Relying entirely on her battle-hardened instincts, her body reacted immediately!
She performed a desperate sideways roll!
Those two deformed arms, like white giant pythons, whistled past, nearly brushing against her back!
"Bang!"
Beside Jill, the female wax figure posed in an elegant dance was grabbed by the arm that had missed its target!
The Regenerator seemed to have mistaken the wax figure for Jill.
Its elongated arm suddenly retracted!
The massive force yanked the heavy wax figure from its spot, sending it flying toward the creature!
Then!
An even more terrifying scene unfolded!
Just as the wax figure was about to collide with the Regenerator's bloated body!
"Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!"
Countless pale white bone spikes, sharp and hard as spears, suddenly and frantically erupted from the Regenerator's body surface!
The poor wax figure didn't even have time to let out a cry.
In an instant, it was riddled with holes by the dense spikes!
It turned into a pathetic pile of debris, a mix of wax oil and wood chips!
Jill's back was instantly soaked in cold sweat.
She looked at the mess on the ground with lingering fear.
If her reaction had been even 0.1 seconds slower just now...
She would have been the one turned into a pincushion!
Fortunately, these monsters moved extremely slowly.
As long as she could maintain a safe distance and watch out for their strange, elongating arms...
Dealing with them wasn't completely impossible.
Jill's mind was racing.
Her gaze quickly scanned the layout of the entire ballroom.
The tables and chairs placed against the walls, and those motionless wax figures, were all excellent cover she could utilize.
She needed to use her flexibility and mobility, which far exceeded these clumsy monsters.
She would fight them with guerrilla tactics!
She glanced at the four Regenerators, who were once again approaching her with heavy steps.
Like a phantom, her body moved swiftly between the tables, chairs, and wax figures.
Each time, she precisely positioned herself in the blind spots of the four Regenerators' attacks.
After several futile attacks on their part...
She soon discovered a crucial piece of information.
After these Regenerators performed that long-range arm-stretching attack...
Their bodies would enter a brief state of paralysis for about three seconds!
Their bodies would freeze in place, motionless.
Those two extended, deformed arms would also drop limply to the ground, as if they had exhausted all their energy.
It seemed that every time they launched that attack, it was a massive burden on them.
That's it!
A clear and bold plan instantly formed in Jill's mind.
She slung the ump9 submachine gun back over her shoulder.
Then, she gripped the heavy, single-shot Grenade Launcher in her hand.
The cold metallic texture gave her an unprecedented sense of security.
To deal with monsters that possessed ultra-high-speed regeneration...
The only way was to use a weapon with the most extreme and terrifying destructive power.
In the shortest amount of time, she had to inflict a devastating blow that far exceeded the limits of their regenerative abilities!
She stopped running.
Instead, she stood quietly in place.
Like a master matador, she calmly waited for the rampaging bull to launch its most lethal charge.
The nearest Regenerator seemed unable to understand why this tiny prey had suddenly stopped its futile struggle.
But its killing instinct drove it to launch another attack!
The white fleshy arm once again transformed into a life-claiming python!
It whistled through the air, lunging toward Jill's body!
Now!
Jill's body suddenly crouched low!
Like a spring compressed to its limit, she instantly exploded into motion!
In an extremely dangerous posture, almost hugging the floor, she slid beneath the whistling arm!
At the same time!
The Grenade Launcher in her hand was already aimed at the Regenerator's bloated chest, which was now defenseless due to its attack!
"Boom—!!!"
A high-explosive grenade whistled out with matchless kinetic energy!
It exploded violently on the Regenerator's chest!
The deafening explosion instantly echoed throughout the ballroom!
The violent shockwave, mixed with scorching flames, completely swallowed the Regenerator's entire upper body!
The Regenerator didn't even have time to let out a wail.
Its bloated chest, along with its head that had long since lost its shape, was instantly blown into a sky full of charred meat mixed with white fat!
The moment Jill pulled the trigger, she used the massive recoil from the explosion to quickly roll to the side!
She precisely dodged the lethal thrust from another Regenerator that followed immediately after!
She didn't even look at the results of her strike.
She simply pulled a new grenade from her tactical belt with practiced ease.
She quickly completed the actions of ejecting the shell and reloading.
Then, she calmly waited for the next opportunity to fire.
However.
Alfred, who was watching all this through a monitor behind the scenes, was utterly enraged.
In his script,
this lowly woman who dared to intrude upon the Ashford Family's "Holy Land"
should have been letting out desperate and painful wails before his masterpiece.
She should have been torn to pieces, bit by bit, by his pets.
She should have died as lowly and pathetically as a crushed bug!
Not like this!
Calm, decisive, and even possessing a damn sense of ease!
She was humiliating him!
Humiliating his proud, perfect creations!
"Unforgivable... UNFORGIVABLE!!!!"
A sharp screech filled with madness and rage suddenly rang through the entire space via the ballroom's speakers!
"You... filthy, lowly, inferior creature!!!"
"Do you think this is over?!"
"The performance has only just reached its climax!!!"
Alfred's twisted and crazed voice echoed continuously above the ballroom.
He seemed to have slammed a red button somewhere!
The moment the words fell!
"Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Four extremely sharp sounds of air being sliced suddenly rang out from the balcony on the second floor, which looked like a Royal Box!
Four slender tentacles, like those of an octopus, shot out with a speed exceeding that of bullets!
The target of those tentacles was not Jill!
Instead, it was the three Regenerators still hunting her, and the corpse that had been blown into shredded meat!
"Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!"
The sharp tentacles easily pierced through their bloated and tough bodies!
Then, they suddenly coiled upward!
Tightly binding those four massive bodies!
The moment Jill heard the sound of the air being sliced, she had already quickly run away!
She raised her head, still shaken, and looked toward the balcony on the second floor, which was filled with an ominous aura.
She saw the two wax figures of a King and Queen, which had been standing quietly on the balcony, slowly raising their arms.
Their arms no longer existed.
In their place were four hideous tentacles that wriggled and extended like living things!
They coiled around the three Regenerators and slowly dragged them toward the darkness where they stood...
