Deep in the Living

Chapter 663 It’s raining

Gustave also began his solo operation.

There are five white coordinates marked on the map. He needs to check all of them except for the location where he is supposed to lock up Mr. Question Mark.

We need to find a relatively important base outside the territory and plant the "bomb" in the deepest place.

Just holding this snail shell in his hand made Gustave feel uncomfortable.

He had licked the tongues of almost everyone in Whirlpool Town, but he had absolutely no interest in this student's tongue.

Moreover, Gustav could sense that Katayama, after being [deeply compressed], was in a state of chaos. The dangerous aura emanating from inside the snail shell was something even this senior figure was quite wary of.

It cannot be thrown out and exploded directly; instead, it needs to be installed deep inside, completely away, before being detonated.

"This student belongs to a relatively rare type of Green Gate Monster... After being affected by the vortex, an unknown biochemical reaction occurred."

From a certain perspective, it even transcends the category of monsters and becomes an alternative species.

The plague bombs will be incredibly powerful, affecting the entire island. The extraterrestrial deity currently 'out' in the City of Sin will surely return immediately.

Is Teacher Guo really capable? If he dies, the school's management will most likely fall into the hands of Question Mark, and then I'll hardly be able to get his tongue out anymore.

Wait, I have an idea…

Gustav suddenly had a brilliant idea: "Roddy's rescue operation can't be that quick! Once the bomb is planted, I'll just go and help him."

Let's quickly get the question mark out of the water, and under the guise of licking his wounds, give him a good licking to try and get him back to his best condition. Then we can join forces to support Teacher Guo.

Just do it!

After all, someone as capable as me should participate in the "final battle," shouldn't I? It's too much to ask of Teacher Guo to handle everything."

Gustav instantly gained energy, and his somewhat shriveled body immediately became moist and swollen.

Snapped!
With a snap of his fingers
The tongue monster, hidden in the damp realm, abandoned its physical body and transformed into a normal-sized tongue, which landed steadily on his shoulder and took root there through the root nerves.

"Deep Self-Information Erasure"

despair!
Tongue rattling.

This "habit" that Roddy developed is actually a characteristic of Gustav.

As the tongue in Gustav's mouth flicked along with the tongue on his shoulder, he, who was already in a state of mimicry, fell into a deeper level of information erasure.

It was as if he had vanished from the island.
It's as if they've been temporarily erased from the world.

Even his teammates would subconsciously ignore his existence and find it hard to remember that such a person existed.

Even if you still know the name Gustav, as soon as you try to recall it, the related memories become sticky, the entire brain's memory system becomes viscous, and the related images are stuffed into your tongue.

In this state, he doesn't need to worry about being exposed at all.

It "glides" across the island at top speed, with extra tongues growing between its feet, allowing it to move at high speeds as long as it stands still.

The four white dot areas were quickly identified.

These areas were not settlements at all, but deep pits... to be precise, grain storage areas or animal husbandry areas.

About four-fifths of the infected monsters sent to the island were unable to reach the central area and were instead directed to the locations of these deep pits.

They would then be labeled as "food" and imprisoned below, waiting to be "eaten".

Gusta stood on the edge of the pit, his main tongue sticking out of his mouth... *hum*!

An invisible ripple of detection was released, capturing the strange creatures lurking below, one of which was feeding.

"Is this a 'frog' that grew up in the ocean?"

Their physiques are generally over ten meters tall.

The surface of its jet-black skin is still covered with the mucus tissue from its tadpole stage.
Their webbed hands and feet allow them to climb vertically with ease, and their jumping ability is also quite amazing.

The tail, used to stabilize the center of gravity, has a rock-like structure on its surface and appears to be the heaviest part of the entire body.

Their faces are all large, bottomless cavities, which serve as both sensory organs and efficient feeding mechanisms.

current,

A mature offspring crawled to the cage imprisoning the infected monsters, and after observing for a moment, tore open the cell door with its bare hands.

Then they pasted the hollow face onto it and placed it on the cell door.

The infected monsters imprisoned within, whether due to a complete mental breakdown or hearing some irresistible call, are unknown.

He actually walked towards the hollow face and completely immersed himself in it.

suddenly,

A ring of hidden, slimy, rock-like teeth emerges from the hollows in the face! One sip bursts with juice, then swallow whole.

The offspring's body also changed. Some of the monster's characteristics seemed to appear on its tail, and its body began to grow further, increasing to more than three meters in length.

After eating,

The creature then inserted its tail into the wall, shrank its body into a black, moist sphere, and fell into a deep sleep.

When it wakes up again, it will choose the food that is most suitable for its growth.

There are many more black spheres like this.

The pit where Gusta is currently located is the largest in scale and also has the largest number of mature offspring.

He was almost filled with disgust, because the existence of these things gave Gustav a horrifying vision of the future.

"The reason why those guys from outside the region occupied the [City of Sin], this central city, is to spread the infection faster and stockpile food so that their offspring can multiply quickly."

The final result is not as simple as corner infection; all monsters become food, species are replaced, and the entire corner becomes this guy's "home".

These inferior creatures without tongues actually think about exterminating us.

"Come on~ since your offspring like to eat so much, try some snacks."

Gustav leaped into the air and landed silently at the bottom of the pit.

The snail shell, which he had previously despised and loathed, now held a certain pride in him.

Placing the snail shell here, Gustav resisted the unpleasant taste and gently licked the surface.

"Katayama, you have to survive. From now on, I'll give you more preferential treatment in biology class and won't be picky about you anymore."

To everyone's surprise, a faint sound actually came from inside the snail's shell:
"Thank you... teacher."

……

【Pit No. 1】

It was precisely through the question mark sensor that Roddy found the location.

Not only are there mature offspring active here, but the place is also shrouded in mist, and it seems that special apostles are patrolling the deep pit.

An unknown magnetic field exists between the deep pits, effectively disrupting perception. Roddy knew Mr. Question Mark was below, but he didn't know his exact location.

If we continue searching recklessly like this, we'll most likely be exposed before we even find anything.

At that time, they will have to face these strange offspring of the Outer Gods, the apostles in charge of guarding the prison, and Jock who will come looking for them as soon as he smells them.

All we could do was wait, wait for the explosion to happen.

Time passes little by little,

Just as Luo Di was about to close his eyes and rest, a feeling of unease washed over him.

Instinct compelled him to burrow into the deep pit and hide, the deeper the better, for some kind of danger was about to spread across the island's surface.

The thick fog covering the island's surface seemed to sense unease and began to move, as if something threatened its existence and would replace it to cover the entire island.

"It's coming... This feeling is similar to that in 'Ju-on,' but it's stronger and more dangerous. It's an indiscriminate spread of plague that will even erode my body."

boom!
A faint, muffled sound came from behind.

The moment the sound was heard, the mist that had enveloped the island dissipated, or rather, was actively withdrawn by Jock! Otherwise, even the mist itself would have been in trouble.

The field of vision is no longer affected.

Roddy looked up toward the direction from which the muffled sound came.

A dark, vortex-shaped beam of light shot straight into the sky.

A strange field of light began to spread outwards from the location of the pillar of light, gradually engulfing the entire island.

At the same time, a huge cloud with a vortex-like structure appeared in the sky above.

It's raining!
However, the so-called "rain" is not water droplets, but snail shells.

Due to the high-speed descent, the snail's shell will shatter upon impact, exposing a highly pathogenic mucus to the air.

An unknown plague began to spread between the islands.

The moment Roddy saw the snail shell fall, he leaped into the deep pit to avoid it.

relatively,
Sensing something was wrong with the island, the offspring in the deep pit quickly crawled outwards, their enormous bodies completely exposed to the plague.
