Deep in the Living

Chapter 297 Pus Crystal
After a brief exchange, I learned that
This young man, who is a Tumor Clan but does not have obvious Tumor Clan characteristics, is named Calen Pustophoros.

The most important point is that this person is very clean and you can't smell any bad smell even if you get close to him.

Instead, he smelled more like a spinal man, with a faint aroma of roasted spinal cord, probably due to living in the lighthouse for many years.

Although Kalain has congenital defects, he has accepted the "hell creature - tumor" after all. There is also a special plague system hidden in his body, which can also achieve physical hyperplasia like tumor people.

It's just that his hyperplasia is very special. It won't grow various disgusting hyperplastic organs or swollen structures covered with pus all over the body.

Due to a congenital genetic defect, his growth can only form a kind of hard crystal, which should be more accurately called "prismatic pus crystal"*.

*A turquoise crystal that contains the life energy of the tumor holder.

In his early years, he was unable to control the growth of crystals. If he wasn't careful, his entire body would turn into a cluster of crystals and become unable to move. If he hadn't been spotted and sent to the lighthouse to be irradiated by the heat to help clean the crystals on his body, he would have died long ago.

Now he is able to achieve crystal concentration and self-control.

After more than ten years of life in the lighthouse, the pus crystals produced by it are concentrated with powerful vitality, and can refract light like a lighthouse, realizing a special radiation.

……

Gollum~
Their stomachs growled wildly, and Rody and Agatha were about to give up, feeling like they could become hungry at any moment. Without even explaining anything to Calien, they led him to the downstairs of the inn and prepared to lead their mounts out of the city.

This cry for help from the belly sac was very familiar to Karen.
It was common for him to go hungry when he was a child. People with tumors have a large appetite and are more sensitive to hunger. He knows how uncomfortable it is.

Because the team members were not familiar with each other, Kallain, who was following behind the two of them, did not speak out until he learned from the conversation that they were going out of the city to find food. He then whispered:

"I... I have some food here, let's see if we can make do with it. If we go out of the city to hunt, we will probably have to go far away to find a hell beast that is not contaminated by the plague."

"What to eat?"

Rody's gaze shifted from the black pig mount to Kallain.

"This one……"

I thought Kallain would take out some kind of lighthouse food from his pocket, but he just held out his empty hand.

hum!
A green light flashed, and nut-shaped crystals grew on his palm.

Although it has a crystalline structure and no smell, it is still a tumor growth no matter how you look at it, which is more or less disgusting.

“Is this food?”

"Yes, you can try."

Seeing Karlain's honest look, Rody picked it up and put it in his mouth. Unexpectedly, as soon as it came into contact with saliva, the surface of the crystal began to dissolve and soften, with a taste similar to chocolate and a taste more like mint candy.

"Um!?"

A strong life energy instantly filled the whole body, quickly filling the hunger. Just one pill replenished all the nutrients the body needed, and the strong hunger disappeared.

Agatha also ate one, and her muscles even began to twitch.

She had never seen such a tumor patient before, and couldn't help but ask:
"How on earth is this done?"

Calen explained calmly, "When I first arrived at the lighthouse, I had nothing to eat, so I tried to eat the pus crystals that grew on me. At first, I couldn't swallow it at all, but slowly, my body began to change.

Suddenly one day, I was able to make this edible pus crystal.

No odor, easy to digest.

Once consumed, they will replenish what your body lacks... and can help repair some injuries that are not too serious."

These words made Rody instantly understand why the demon king related to the eyeball would recommend this person to join, and why the demon king as a spine person would be willing to take in a tumor person.

Karen is not born with a defect, but is born unique.

Rody also had a vague feeling that the lighthouse keeper's abilities were far more than that.

Agatha continued to ask, "You can't just produce something this good, right? Matter conversion, energy conservation, where do you get your energy from?"

"The most important energy source is light..."

"Light?"

"Well, my body is special. I can't proliferate like other tumor residents. But my proliferative crystals can absorb light energy and convert it into my own energy. I can stay alive even if I don't eat.

Over the years that I have lived in Lighthouse, the conversion rate has gradually increased.

As long as there is light, I can keep creating these things.”

Agatha continued to ask: "What if there is no light? We are going to the dark side of hell later, and it is a luxury to get light there."

“It’s okay~ I’m not picky about food.

In the past, when the Eye was dormant and the lighthouse was dark, or when I was on vacation, I often picked up some seafood at the beach. I could eat any dead fish or rotten shrimp that was stained with filth, and I could also transform it into crystals.

I guess there should be something I can eat on the dark side."

Agatha was shocked and a little confused. She even smelled a suspicious smell. "With a talent like you, why don't you dig you up and train you well in Yuanpu? Why do you just stay in the marginal harbor?"

"I've been to the original pus, and that's where the hell in me was received. But I'm used to staying in the lighthouse, and the development here is better and faster.

After I become a demon, they will let me go back."

Karen suddenly muttered, "Actually, I'd rather go to Master Yan..."

Agatha temporarily put aside her concerns and accepted this tumor-ridden teammate who suddenly joined.

Now that they had filled their stomachs, it was time to get down to business. Instead of discussing the wanted warrant directly on the street, the three of them returned to the hotel suite.

“That’s our primary goal right now.”

It was the first time that Calen saw a wanted poster from the monastery, and his fluorescent green eyes quickly scanned the contents.

"Corleone, I roughly know his activity area."

Agatha was stunned. "You know?"

"Well... Master Eye's vision not only covers the sea, but also monitors all situations in coastal areas. As a lighthouse keeper, I know a little bit about this."

"This man killed so many bugs. Didn't the evildoers ask you for information?"

"Corleone is a member of the Spine, and he will soon be promoted to a demon. Lord Eye will naturally not disclose the news of such a talent to others. He can just find an excuse to trick them into leaving.

Moreover, most people cannot get close to the lighthouse, so it is very difficult to see the adults.

This time, it was because Mr. Di had this need that Yan Daren was willing to share the information.

However, this is only the main area where Corleone committed crimes. It is difficult to find him. As far as I know, he is very cautious and will not leave any information outside. "

Agatha nodded. "Indeed. If it were easy to find, those mischievous guys would have found it long ago. We have to think of some different ways."

Who knows,

Rody, however, gently raised his right hand as if he was raising his hand in class.

Perhaps it is the completely different kind of energy provided by eating crystals that not only fills hunger but also nourishes the pituitary gland.

Roddy's completely clear mind made him come up with a plan, a plan that could lure out the wanted criminal.

Rody first took out the metal stick that Agatha had given him before, "If I strike this thing, you will be able to sense it no matter where you are, right?"

"The farther the distance, the weaker the perception. If the distance is too far, it is best to use the metal in the torture chamber to hit it, and the resonance effect will be doubled."

"Okay, let's do this next. Maybe we can lure Corleone out..."

After Rody gave the relevant plan, Agatha recognized the feasibility of the plan but was very worried, "It's too dangerous, Rody. That guy is more dangerous than a mouse. We must act together."

“How can you catch big fish without taking risks?

Agatha, your large frame and monastic appearance will make too big a splash on the water, and the big fish will slip away early. You stay on the shore and wait for my news. "

"alright."
