The room was silent.

Even the breathing of the two of them could be heard clearly.

The room with the curtains closed, and there should still be a slight light coming from the window, but now it fell into an almost pure darkness.

Aono can't describe what it feels like.

But this darkness is indeed very "pure".

"Them" refers to the unspeakable beings hidden in that strange world.

Aono looked at Tomie.

I found that instead of the slightest fear, her face was even more excited.

Or rather, this is what she wants to see.

Aono wasn't surprised by Tomie's reaction, she was a strange being made up by the X-cultists.

In a way, she was no longer human, but an indescribable member.

"Aono-kun, I'm different from them!"

It seemed that he had seen through what Aono was thinking, and Tomie said solemnly.

"In a way, they are our common enemy."

Aono looked at her lightly.

"Don't you want to...... Taste Them? ”

Tomie breathed in Aono's ear.

Unspeakable madness is hidden.

"Pull them down from that high position, sure...... It's a lot of fun, isn't it? ”

Aono's eyes narrowed.

Choose to believe Tomie's words for the time being.

She's a madman.

Rightfully so, obviously.

Tomie has no memories of the past, but the pain of the thousands of iron needles piercing into her body has created her distorted spirit.

And as for the exchange experience of Qingye and Qingshan patients——

- Crazy people, often more pure.

Pure, true to the desires of your heart.

In the dark corners, pitch-black earthworm-like creatures came out one after another.

quantity, it is difficult to judge.

Climbed towards the man and woman on the bed.

The weird thing is.

They do not crawl on the ground, but cling to the darkness of the air.

Gradually approaching Aono.

Aono's first action was to turn on the lamp beside him.

This female rascal - who came to his bed in the middle of the night, what is it if she is not a female hooligan? - He has no such interest in dying.

The lamp was turned on as he had thought.

The lights lit up the surroundings normally.

It's just that......

In the room, the "pure darkness" did not disappear because of this.

It's as if the light of the table lamp is constantly being swallowed up by it.

Looking over, the corner was still dark.

"The door is already open, how can it be closed so easily?"

Tomie said softly.

Aono didn't pay attention to her.

And always keep her on high alert.

He believed in the phrase "common enemy".

But Aono also believes that Tomie's previous almost perverted speech is not just talking.

The moment she relaxes, maybe it's time for her to do it.

"Alas...... It seems that Aono-kun still doesn't trust me enough......"

She let out a faint sigh.

Aggrieved and resentful.

It's like a young woman in the boudoir complaining about her husband who hasn't returned home for a long time.

"But that's okay, I've always been patient."

Tomie chuckled again.

"Looking forward to meeting you next time with Aono-kun."

After saying this, her body seemed to gradually dissolve, collapsing and shrinking, turning into a puddle of flesh and blood that is difficult to describe in words.

The long dress, covering it.

- It is probably appropriate to describe it as "Tomoe-chan".

Then it trickled out of the crack in the window.

The scene is weird.

Give somebody the creeps.

It's a not-so-swift process.

It took about five or six minutes just to turn into flesh.

If it was the usual Qingye, he might consider whether to set "her" on fire directly, and maybe there would be a chance to do it once and for all.

But at this time, he didn't have time to think about this problem.

Because, those black earthworm-like annelids have been entangled in Qingye!

Their movements were far faster than Aono had originally imagined.

At first the slow crawling seemed to be a camouflage they had made to paralyze the encircled prey.

When they really got closer, even Aono's naked eye could barely catch their movements.

It was like a bullet, piercing directly into Aono's skin.

This is absolutely extraordinary agility!

A tingling sensation came.

When I looked down and saw that there were at least ten strange earthworms on my body, they had already penetrated into my skin and were still burrowing in.

If you look closely, you can see it.

At first glance, they look like earthworms, but they are completely different.

Fine, sharp teeth grow on their heads.

- Even Aono's strengthened muscles can be easily bitten off.

So that after piercing the skin, it can continue to gnaw on the muscle tissue and go deeper.

The appetite is almost endless.

Able to swallow food countless times larger than their bodies.

If Aono stood still, he would be eaten by them all, and it would probably take three minutes.

Aono recalls the phrase on the panel.

"Transcendental, just the beginning!"

Nodding approvingly.

Even this seemingly unassumable low-level minions and low-level creatures are so difficult to deal with, let alone those more advanced beings.

"Whew!"

With Aono's current strength, it is not a problem to twist the girl's spine, let alone pinch and explode these "earthworms".

It's just that pinching their bodies doesn't make much of a difference.

Even if only the head that burrowed into the muscles remained, he would continue to gnaw downward.

This kind of existence has been freed from the rules of the real world.

Aono's strength and agility are not without effect.

But there are too many of them.

Hundreds!

It was as if a rain of bullets was falling from all directions.

Although the "light" dodge played a big role, there were still a lot of hits on Aono's body.

They also had their eyes on the "Tomie-chan" on the ground, but their pitch-black bodies would be devoured by her as soon as they touched the disgusting mixture of flesh and blood.

A fuzzy mixture, carrying the light dress, all flowed through the cracks in the window.

At this time, Aono finally found a solution to them.

[Screaming in the heart!] 】

His soul emitted an extremely strange shock.

With him as the center, it quickly spread outward.

The black creatures covered by the shockwave suddenly stopped their rapid movement.

It was like being stunned.

"Bang bang bang" drops.

The tingling sensation in Aono's body disappeared as a result, allowing him to dig out the earthworms that had burrowed into his muscles.

"It works!"

Aono nodded.

The "pure darkness" around them finally dissipated.

Aono took a deep breath - who knows if that [door] was still open, something would be staring at him!

It's just that looking at the messed up room and the ugly earthworms piled up on the floor.

Aono fell into deep thought......

Third floor.

Kanda Yukie has long been woken up, and the "bang-bang" sound is difficult to ignore even if you want to.

He ..... What are you doing? ”

Inexplicably, the little girl couldn't help blushing when she thought that boys would have physical needs.

Until.....

A wafting scent came from the kitchen downstairs.

Kanda Yukie finally couldn't suppress her curiosity and walked downstairs to see a busy figure in the kitchen.

Aono smiled at her.

"To ...... Do you want a late-night snack?"
