Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

Mu Xiaoxiao carefully examined the girl's condition again in front of Yuna, then shook her head.

His actions made Mira even more nervous. "This hospital is quite close, so the ambulance came directly here. Xiaoxiao? Is there a problem here?"

“There’s a problem, but don’t worry, Yuna is fine. It seems to be just a coincidence,” Mu Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully, running her fingers across Yuna’s face. “I have a pretty good idea of ​​what’s hidden in this hospital. It really is… she’s still entangled with that guy.”

Mu Xiao's words were cryptic and Rina couldn't understand them, but Mira did. The beautiful young woman's expression turned ugly. "Kawakami Tomie?"

Tsubakihara Nina's heart skipped a beat, her eyes widening. No way, it's Kawakami Tomie again?! Are you kidding me? Is that guy so persistent?! Why would I run into her at the hospital?!

Yuji Tsubakihara's breathing became rapid.

Perhaps this is fate? It implies that once anyone encounters her, they cannot escape Tomie's entanglement? Mu Xiaoxiao doesn't even know how many Tomies he has met. He is not afraid of this woman, no matter how strange she is.

However, he was still quite unhappy and a murderous intent inexplicably arose in his heart.

"I'll go investigate first."

"I will go with you."

Mira's actions were interrupted by Mu Xiaoxiao, "Instead of this, Mira, it's better for you to stay by Yuna's side. Also, be careful, if any doctor asks you to give Yuna a blood transfusion or transplant an organ, you absolutely cannot agree to it."

Tsubakihara Mira nodded thoughtfully. She didn't really know why Mu Xiaoxiao had given such an order, but there must have been a reason. Mira would naturally keep it in mind. Tsubakihara Nina suddenly stood up and said, "Mu-kun, I'll go with you."

When Mu Xiaoxiao noticed the firm look in the girl's eyes behind her glasses, she did not refuse Nina's sudden initiative. This younger sister, Tsubakihara Nina, was more decisive than her older sister. Was she going to settle scores with Tomie?

"Okay, but I'm warning you beforehand, you might see something horrible later, so don't get too scared."

“I’m not that fragile,” Tsubakihara Nina said calmly, “especially now.”

"...Let's go then."

On the way, Mu Xiaoxiao frequently looked at the girl beside her. Just as she had said, even after Mu Xiaoxiao reminded her, the girl showed no signs of worry or fear. Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but praise her, "You and Yuna are indeed very different, I mean in terms of personality."

“Even twins can be different. But don’t let her appearance fool you, she’s actually a very strong girl,” Renna said softly. She looked at the boy beside her, moved her lips, but still didn’t tell Mu Xiaoxiao that her sister had been calling his name before she fainted.

"I know, I noticed it this morning."

Nina Tsubakihara smoothed her hair. "What did those two find out?"

“A little bit. There’s a mastermind behind Kawakami Tomie. I’ll find out who it is.” Seeing that Nina seemed to have a question, Mu Xiaoxiao laughed. “I know what you want to ask, Nina. You don’t still think that Kawakami Tomie is just pretty, do you?”

"...I heard my sister mention it. She said that woman was a monster. You told my sister that, Mu Jun, right?"

"Yes, Tomie Kawakami is a monster. You already know her first ability: amazing charm that no one, young or old, can resist. And those who become infatuated with Tomie will only gradually descend into madness."

"But this ability is actually the easiest to deal with, because Tomie's ability is not absolute, and there are still people in this world who can resist her charm."

For example, you?

“It’s not me. I’m talking about ordinary people with strong wills who can recognize the danger of Kawakami Tomie and keep their distance from her,” Mu Xiaoxiao said as she led Tsubakihara Nina around the hospital’s atrium. Out of Tsubakihara Nina’s sight, the little loli Yashiki-doroki was guiding them.

“Nina-kun…”

“Call me by my name, and... don’t keep calling me classmate,” Nina interrupted him, her tone a little distant.

“Nina-san, I just said that there were traces of Tomie in this hospital. I don’t think you understood, did you?” Mu Xiaoxiao slowed down and her magnetic voice gradually deepened. “The Tomie I’m talking about is not the Tomie from your school.”

???

"The Tomie here is not the same person as her."

Tsubakihara Nina stared blankly at him, her mind momentarily frozen. "What...does this mean?"

“Literally... Nina-san, there’s more than one Kawakami Tomie in this world,” Mu Xiaoxiao said with a strange laugh.

Gollum—

Hearing such strange words suddenly, and being in a hospital, and following Mu Xiaoxiao into a nearly deserted elevator shaft, felt like stepping into a scene from a horror movie. The bespectacled girl, who had been calm just a moment ago, was instantly thrown into turmoil.

Can you please not make this so eerie? It's so creepy, it makes me feel cold all over.

"Mu-kun, you're saying there's more than one Tomie?" Tsubakihara Jinna asked incredulously, seemingly still not believing it, thinking he had misheard.

“You heard me right,” Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the open elevator doors, turned to look at the wide-eyed orange-haired girl, and then walked in. “Kawakami Tomie’s other ability is immortality… That might not be the most accurate way to put it. To be precise, it’s a kind of cell division. She has the terrifying ability to divide infinitely. Believe me, Nina-san, you don’t want to see that scene.”

Infinite splitting and all that? Hey! That's getting scarier and scarier!

She seemed to understand why Mu Xiaoxiao thought Tomie was a monster.

"Also, do you know why I just said that your sister can't receive organ transplants and blood transfusions from this hospital?" Mira was already one of their own, so Mu Xiaoxiao didn't plan to hide some secrets about Tomie from the Tsubakihara sisters.

"Why...?" This was indeed the reason she didn't understand.

"Because this is Tomie's most terrifying ability. Her weird cells can not only divide, but also assimilate," Mu Xiaoxiao sighed, standing in the elevator and pressing the button. Only then did Rennai notice that the place Mu Jun was going to was actually the basement. The problem was that she hadn't noticed before that this hospital actually had a basement.

It seemed they had already left the bustling area; the surroundings were eerily quiet, the silence almost unsettling, the atmosphere becoming sinister and terrifying. "Assimilation?"

“When Yuna receives an organ transplant from Kawakami Tomie, or a blood transfusion from her, she will no longer be your sister,” Mu Xiaoxiao said with a smile, uttering chilling words, “but will be completely transformed into Kawakami Tomie.”

Tsubakihara Nina's face turned pale, her pupils dilated. Just then, the elevator 'dinged' and arrived at its destination, startling the girl so much that she almost lost her balance. The moment the elevator doors opened, her back was soaked with cold sweat.

My heart was pounding at that moment.

However, the passage outside was as bright as day, which made her breathe a slight sigh of relief. She belatedly clutched her chest, still feeling lingering fear.

I was so scared...

She couldn't tell whether it was the surrounding environment or Mu Xiaoxiao's words that were frightening. Upon closer reflection, she realized that perhaps it was the combination of the two—the words combined with the atmosphere—that made it even scarier. After all… if nothing unexpected happened, they were now on their way to find that monster, Tomie!

Why was I so impulsive? I should have known better than to come. Tsubakihara Nina was already regretting it, but it was too late.

"Who are you?! No entry allowed here—"

Several doctors in white coats saw Mu Xiaoxiao and Ren Nai and tried to stop them, but they were stopped by a look from Mu Xiaoxiao and stood motionless on both sides, making a welcoming gesture.

"This seems to be a secret research lab?"

"Yes."

"Lead the way, let's go find that thing you're researching."

"……Yes."

Tsubakihara Nina swallowed repeatedly, her two small, fair hands gripping the hem of her clothes tightly as she followed behind Mu Xiaoxiao. When they stood at the door of an electronic door, she seemed to sense something and took a deep breath as she moved closer to Mu Xiaoxiao.

I felt safer when I was close to his body.

When the researcher opened the door with his ID card and entered the dark research room, even though Renna was mentally prepared, she was so frightened that she grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao's arm tightly. Otherwise, her weak legs would have caused her to fall to the ground!

The pitch-black room was filled with various large culture tubes, and submerged in corrosive liquid were bizarre, deformed... monsters?

Huge heads, thin bodies, irregular limbs, seemingly human in appearance, yet they appear somewhat terrifying and sinister, and looking at their faces, there is no doubt that they are all Tomie!

Their movements attracted the attention of Tomie, whose sinister eyes on their large heads all shot towards them.

At that moment, Tsubakihara Nina's heart almost stopped —

Chapter 329 Yuna Tsubakihara's Dependence

It was truly shocking. Even though she was mentally prepared, the girl's lips trembled from the horrifying sight before her. The atmosphere was also eerie: a dimly lit laboratory, a deformed monster submerged in liquid, and those unforgettable, terrifying eyes.

Moreover, these liquids are not formalin, but rather highly acidic and corrosive liquids, intended to suppress the terrifying regenerative power of Kawakami Tomie's cells.

The visual impact made Tsubakihara Nina truly understand what kind of being the monster Mu Xiaoxiao was talking about.

This Tomie... she's truly a monster!!!

"Mu Jun, she...she..."

Mu Xiaoxiao patted the stuttering girl on the shoulder and looked at the researchers, "When did you start researching Tomie? How did you discover her? Who is funding you?"

The hypnotized men stared blankly. "No, the research project was conducted entirely independently by Dr. Shimomura. As for Tomie Kawakami, she was supposedly a former patient of Dr. Shimomura."

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't press the matter further. He stared at the deformed Tomie figures submerged in sulfuric acid. "They really have courage to study her... Even though this corrosive sulfuric acid can inhibit their regenerative abilities, but..."

It's obvious to anyone with a brain that in a while, one of these researchers will be bewitched by Tomie, and then they will release her, causing a series of events. Once she is freed from the corrosive sulfuric acid, her deformed body will return to normal.

However, Mu Xiaoxiao didn't intend to give her a chance. She had been contacting Fu Jiang for the past few days and was tired of it.

"Gurgle gurgle————"

"Save me..." The deformed Tomie stared wide-eyed at Mu Xiaoxiao, whether attracted by him or trying to seduce him, she made a strange call, "I'm so pitiful, they've been keeping me locked up here and torturing me... Get me out of here, and I can date you~ Look how pretty I am, don't you like me?"

Mu Xiaoxiao: "..."

His lips twitched, but he didn't respond. Instead, he took out a lighter and twirled it between his fingers. The researchers in white coats left the room and soon returned carrying several cans of gasoline.

Immediately, the deformed Tomies, who were being used as experimental specimens, realized the danger and were terrified.

"what are you going to do?!"

"Stop! Stop it!!"

The nearby Kawakami Tomie and others exclaimed in surprise, but Mu Xiaoxiao didn't care. She retreated to the doorway and waited for the researchers to pour gasoline into the culture medium before lighting the flames.

boom----

The raging flames engulfed Kawakami Tomie, engulfing them amidst screams and shrieks. Tsubakihara Nina stood beside Mu Xiaoxiao, completely oblivious to the cruelty of the scene. Having witnessed what she had just seen, she no longer considered Kawakami Tomie as human.

"The only thing that can restrain Kawakami Tomie is fire. No other damage can kill her. Instead, it will cause her to split and multiply. Even a drop of blood or a cell will regenerate. If we encounter her again, we will use fire to deal with her."

Mu Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to remind Ren Nai.

“Phew… I understand,” she took a deep breath. “I’ll be careful… And, um, thank you.”

Evolution points +1, Evolution points +1, Evolution points +1, Evolution points +1...

Evolution points +10, Evolution points +30, Evolution points +50, Evolution points +100...

Almost in the blink of an eye, her status panel started flooded with messages, much faster than before, and Mu Xiaoxiao's long-depleted evolution points were instantly replenished. No, it was more than just replenished.

Watching the points rise rapidly, like money being laundered, his expression grew increasingly astonished. Although he had expected it, it was still... too much! It broke through the tens of thousands mark in an instant, and it was still rising!

I can understand. After all, before, just one vial of Tomie's blood was enough to earn one or two thousand points, and now there are several Tomies here. You have to know that with the infinite proliferation of Kawakami Tomie, one Tomie is equivalent to the evolution points of tens of thousands of monsters.

But what about other monsters? They're all just one, and no matter how strong they are, none are as magical as Tomie.

"What a truly amazing woman," Mu Xiaoxiao thought to herself.

Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand... Amidst the surging flames, the crackling fire, and the screams and curses of Tomie and the others, Mu Xiaoxiao watched her evolution points rise wildly, feeling delighted.

When the speed finally slowed down, it meant that the flames had burned out, and the final value was 68711.

In other words, these Tomie cells had their cell functions suppressed by strong acid. If they were complete Kawakami Tomie cells, there would definitely be more than 200,000. What a pity... emmmm, it's not really a pity, after all, there are really a lot of Kawakami Tomie cells in this world.

Don't forget, there are three more in our own order.

"Let's go," Mu Xiaoxiao said, noticing Rina covering her mouth and nose with her hand. She was restraining herself; the scene was too cruel for a high school girl. After burning the 'research materials' inside, Mu Xiaoxiao immediately felt that the air was much fresher.
