Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 343 The Insect Feast

Reaching the second floor via the stairs, the two substitutes finally escaped the somewhat awful music from the first floor.

These are two Sequence 7s: one is a navigator from the Sailor pathway, and the other is a sun priest from the Lightbringer pathway.

The two roughnecks weren't really good at distinguishing between good and bad music; they were just uncomfortable with the sounds.

The staircase was separated from the outside by a door. With serious expressions, they carefully walked to the door and reached out to grasp the handle.

In that instant, they seemed to hear a cacophony of sounds coming from behind the door.

There were distinct chewing sounds, angry roars, and sharp urging sounds.

There was also a very noticeable buzzing sound of insects.

The two of them immediately frowned and turned to look at each other.

Now that we've confirmed there's a problem, everything is much easier to handle.

The clever substitute for the punishment immediately came up with a solution.

The navigator kicked the door open with a bang.

The sun priest clasped his hands together in front of his chest.

"God said, let there be light!"

Golden light spread rapidly from him.

The navigator was even more direct; he simply reached into his pocket and pulled out a...

The next second, he pulled out a grenade.

…………

On the first floor, the waiter whose head had been smashed open was not dead.

Yuris then noticed that the tray in his hand was filled with a variety of food, both cooked and raw, including steak, lamb, bream, and olavian lobster.

The swarm of insects gathered and reformed into a single head.

Just as his mind began to focus, the waiter picked up the large fish from the tray—the one that seemed to have just finished struggling—and looked up at the two substitutes opposite him, smiling gently:
"You two, I've always envied their food."

His belly suddenly swelled up, bulging high, just like a woman who is seven or eight months pregnant.

As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter raised his hands, took a big bite of the raw dragon bone fish, and forcibly tore off a very thick piece of meat.

Bright red blood trickled from his mouth, and the sound of him chewing sent chills down one's spine.

He swallowed the food in his mouth rapidly, his swollen belly trembling as if it might burst at any moment.

The next second, the belly really exploded.
This time, Yuris didn't attack; instead, he grabbed his companion behind him and lunged to the side.

Its belly burst open, and a swarm of black, mosquito-like insects gushed out.

At the same time, the situation got out of control.

The dancers, waiters and maids, musicians, and gentlemen and ladies in tailcoats all went mad as if they had lost their minds.

In a corner, a maid suddenly pinned another maid down, sat on her, and bent down to choke her.

With a beaming smile, she shook the maid below her, urging her urgently, "Quickly, praise me! Quickly... praise me!"

Her face became increasingly distorted and ferocious, with drops of viscous fluid seeping from her mouth, eyes, and ears.

The maid below kept yawning and couldn't open her eyes, even when her neck was being choked. She seemed to never get enough sleep and was completely unaware that she was about to be strangled to death.

But she seemed to suddenly become a "magnet," and the surrounding tables and chairs suddenly seemed to be pulled by gravity, crashing towards the two of them and quickly enveloping them, turning them into a pile of debris.

The blonde secretary stood by the door, looking down at the room with a cold, condescending air, her arrogance palpable.

His head gradually melted, and ant-like creatures crawled out of it, but he seemed completely unaware.

In the dance floor, people who were dancing began to bite each other, and worms slowly spread from their wounds.

Seeing these scenes while being protected by the captain, Komos suddenly felt an urge to escape and ask the church and the military for help.

But he didn't do that, forcibly suppressing his unease, and making a gun shape with his fingers.

"boom."

An air bullet was fired, and the red-clad waiter's left leg instantly bent, causing him to fall to the ground.

The most powerful person on Oravi Island should be Admiral Emilius, but according to that vagrant, the admiral has just left!

Was this a premeditated attack?
Komos guessed, but didn't stop firing air bullets. Boom!
An explosion occurred on the second floor; someone used a grenade.

The ceiling collapsed, and dozens of people and a monster fell from it.

Dust mixed with a strange smell entered the nostrils of the person who was to take the punishment.

This caused them to cough incessantly, and involuntarily brought a scene to their minds.

Komos subconsciously activated his spiritual vision and looked at the largest one, a body that was three meters tall.

What kind of monster is this?

Just then, a head turned around from the top of that terrifying three-meter-tall body.

This was a woman with long blonde hair and blue eyes. It was Cynthia.

Cynthia looked down at the two of them, muttering to herself.

"General...General...Where are you...?"

Her fair body suddenly grew to a gigantic size, sprouting numerous tumors and flowers, as well as insect wings and limbs, resembling a strange tree.

Cromos's hair stood on end.

Such a scene was terrifying beyond human imagination; he had never seen it even in his dreams.

Suddenly, a phantom yet dazzling starry sky appeared before his eyes, a star shining brightly.

*Slap...slap*

Komos's two eyeballs burst open, and a gruesome, terrifying liquid mixed with blood gushed out.

Simply activating his spiritual vision destroyed his eyes. The damage was swift and without warning, giving him no chance to use the paper doll substitute.

"Don't look at her!" A buzzing sound came from Komos's head, but he still forced himself to give the warning.

"*!" Yuris cursed under his breath, grabbed Komos by the collar, and yanked him away forcefully.

Komos flew out like a cannonball, crashing through the wall and landing outside the villa.

His body was covered in bulges, as if insects were about to burst out of them.

But the next moment, a pair of seemingly ordinary hands caught him.

Cromose's mind was in complete chaos and he was almost fainting. Before he passed out, he vaguely heard a sentence.

"I hope his health will return to normal."

Yuris lowered his head slightly and, guided by his spirituality, rushed towards the direction of the remaining two team members.

The wind appeared behind him, rushing towards him, and he was so fast that he flew close to the ground as if he were gliding.

The two substitutes clearly heard Komos's warning and instinctively closed their eyes, avoiding looking in the direction of the monster.

The sound of something cutting through the air came from behind them, and they guessed it was their captain.

Sure enough, their clothes were ripped, their bodies were flung out, and they smashed two holes in the wall.

The house began to shake, and flesh and blood grew on the walls, cracking open.

The band continued playing, but the sound had completely transformed into the chirping of insects.

Yuris himself crashed into a nearby wall, which, after being attacked many times, finally gave way and collapsed.

The flesh on top exploded and fell to the ground, where it began to writhe.

"Retreat!" Yuris did not turn around, but remained facing and wary of the direction of the villa.

A series of buzzing sounds emanated from the villa, causing him a sharp pain in his head and blood to flow from his eyes.

Suddenly, he saw a slender, seemingly ordinary hand.

It appeared before Yuris, grasping at a wisp of air as if it were holding a doorknob.

Then, he slightly retracted his hand, making a closing gesture.

Squeak—

The chirping of insects coming from the direction of the villa suddenly stopped, and everything became quiet.

The strange changes in the villa stopped in an instant, as if time had been frozen.

The "next moment" and the "previous moment" of the villa's anomaly were grafted together!
