The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 173 Let me see your secret...

"What the heck?!"

The sudden sensation startled him. The game's realistic touch was its downside; it gave him the creeps!
Honestly, he doesn't really like snakes or anything like that, and he especially dislikes the feeling of having one wrapped around his leg!

At that moment, he felt goosebumps rise all over his back, and his scalp felt like it was going to explode!
But when he turned around and saw what was wrapped around his feet, he was terrified.

"Holy crap! What is that? Where did all these tentacles come from? I'm not a magical girl!"

As he watched helplessly as countless octopus-like tentacles entangled his feet, and even more tentacles slid up his body and climbed upwards, he felt as if his head had suddenly exploded.

The tactile sensations were so realistic, and the visual impact was so intense, that for a moment, players even forgot they were in a game and thought they were actually being attacked by a tentacle monster!

He had barely let out a short scream when the tentacles that were almost completely enveloping him tightened their grip, as if squeezing an insect, instantly causing him to burst.

The player died under mysterious circumstances and was severely frightened, so before dying, he quickly took screenshots of everything that happened and posted them in the comments section, then asked for clarification.

Rice Noodle Roll Cat: [Holy crap! I'm seriously screaming "Holy crap!" What is all this stuff? It's disgusting!]

The Celestial Being Who Knows Me: [666! I didn't expect this game to be so diverse, even tentacle monsters have appeared! I wonder if there's any nun and tentacle monster play?]

Brave Bull: [Believe it or not, it's actually quite possible! As we all know, this game was released as bundled software and hasn't been reviewed by any game platform, so it won't be subject to any review restrictions!]

Therefore, theoretically, if the game designers wanted to, they could definitely create such a play!

These remarks caused a brief moment of silence in the chat, but immediately afterwards, a flood of comments demanding to see the nun fight the tentacle monster appeared.

"Holy crap, there are perverts everywhere! It's true that lust is the primary driving force!"

Seeing the content in the chat area, Andrei was both amused and exasperated, unsure of what to say to these players.

If you let them play eroge (adult games), they'll look for the plot, actions, and gameplay within those games. But if you let them play serious games, they'll start looking for eroge content within those games.

But then again, what exactly was the tentacle monster all about?

Recalling the incredibly creepy mass of tentacles in the screenshot, Andrei suddenly felt his trypophobia was about to flare up.

A whole bunch of colorful tentacles, with various suckers covered in tiny serrated edges, wrapped around a person like snakes, and they were all slippery.

Just thinking about that feeling made Andrei break out in a cold sweat; he really felt sorry for that player.

After much thought, Andrei suspected that this might be some kind of magical effect from the enemy; otherwise, he really couldn't think of any other attack method that would follow this pattern.

In any case, this thing doesn't seem to fit the style of the tech side at all!

With that in mind, Andrei simply issued a quest, asking the player to investigate the origin of the tentacle attacks.

Anyway, the intruder who accidentally died outside had also set up several sunbeams in relatively hidden places, so players could easily move there from the beacons there at any time.

Meanwhile, the Black Hawk soldiers also heard commotion coming from the bushes. "What's going on? Enemies!"

Several soldiers ran over and carefully parted the grass, and then they saw the unfortunate player who was curled up in a ball by tentacles and was almost unrecognizable.

"Damn it, I didn't expect Cambrian soldiers to have infiltrated here! They're like a swarm of cockroaches, they're everywhere!"

Upon seeing the soldier's body, someone immediately burst into curses, but behind him walked a rather strangely dressed fellow.

Judging from his attire, this guy wearing a black military overcoat and a peaked cap, but without any military rank, is a mage.

However, unlike the previous mages, this one exuded a creepy and eerie atmosphere.

It's unclear whether it's the gas mask with seven eyes on his face, the large clump of wriggling tentacles on his staff, or an eye growing from his palm.

Almost the instant the mage approached, the surrounding soldiers hurriedly moved away from him, as if they had seen a plague.

Honestly, they didn't react that dramatically when they saw the necromancer.

This undisguised horror was enough to show the oppressive aura emanating from this mage.

The mage paid no heed to the fear of others, simply walking slowly to the corpse, fiddling with it a couple of times, before forcefully plunging his staff into the corpse's already shattered brain.

"Let me see your secret..."

As the tentacles gradually sucked up the brain tissue from the shattered skull, the mage slowly closed his eyes.

He was using a special synesthetic spell to see the memories in his enemies' minds.

Although he can only see certain fragmented memories in this way, he can often learn a lot about the enemy's actions based on these fragmented memories, thus making judgments in advance.

Ancient god mages have always possessed unique and terrifying abilities, but they naturally have their own role in war, and their usefulness is considerable.

"...What kind of nonsense is this?"

After only a few glances, the mage couldn't help but frown, because the player's memories were rather bizarre to him.

He felt as if he were seeing an extremely absurd world, such as a retractable crosshair in front of his pupils, and various operation buttons and icons, all of which were a bit difficult for him to understand at the moment.

But just then, he suddenly felt everything go black.

The fragments of memories he had previously seen vanished like a tide at this moment, leaving only a depressing darkness in his mind.

But in the next moment, he seemed to see a figure so huge that it was unimaginable.

When he saw the hideous, twisted, and bizarrely shaped behemoth, he instantly let out a blood-curdling scream.
