Chapter 009: Torn Darkness
Footsteps tinkled in the empty corridor.
The zombies lead the way in front and are very fast.
Smail followed in steps, entering a downward slope, and continuing downwards into a dark corridor.
This black corridor was dark and damp, and a musty smell immediately hit the nose when it came down, and two stinky ditches stretched side by side, and above them were large iron doors that were stronger than the cells outside, and I don't know what was closed inside, but there was a dull scream from inside, as if people who wanted to struggle had their mouths covered or stuffed with something terrible.
Smail glanced at the sewage flowing around him, there seemed to be some strange soft creatures squirming in the black-glowing stinking water, the number of these things was not a few, but because the light was so dim, Smail couldn't see what it was, in terms of size, it looked a bit like a loach or an ordinary small fish, but it seemed to be smaller.
The dark corridor felt an indescribable oppression, and Smaer raised his guard a little, and if things didn't go right, he was ready to get into the fight as soon as possible.
"Doctor, probably...... Subordinates shouldn't ...... It's too much to ask, but ...... Why are you going out at this time......" The glasses zombie asked again.
Smal ignored him and continued to follow, without replying.
The spectacled zombie glanced back at Smael, but didn't ask.
Here, the speed of the Spectacled Zombie slows down a bit, the ground here is too slippery, and it is easy to fall down if you are a little fast, so you can only slow down a little.
"Ahh Please...... Don't......"
Another scream suddenly came from the iron gate next door, and the creature's voice was quickly muffled as soon as it appeared, followed by a sound of struggle and a frightening muffled scream.
As we continued to walk deeper, the light was too dark to see clearly, and the lampshade was covered with a thick layer of disgusting black mud, and the already dim yellow light was now even more blurred.
At this time, the lampshades above their heads were completely covered in black dirt, and there was no light in sight.
Smail could only barely follow him by feeling, but his eyes were already shrouded in darkness, and the feeling of this darkness surrounding him made the eyes of those who were deeply trapped in it a little dazzling, and he could even feel the darkness become like a substance around him, and he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.
"Isn't there a light up there?" Smal asked in a low voice.
"Doctor, you're weird today...... You know...... The Empress doesn't like light...... "The Spectacled Zombie said with a bit of a yin and yang twist.
Smaer was slightly stunned, and said lightly:
"Just ask, how far is it?"
"Right now...... It's coming soon......" The zombie-eyed zombie smirked.
Smail hesitated for a moment, but continued to follow the zombie, since Smer's realm was promoted, he felt that his physical strength had become extremely abundant, and a wonderful power was surging in his body, making him feel unprecedented confidence and desire to fight. He didn't care that he would be discovered, and if he did, he was ready to force his way out.
Although he knew that there was still a big gap between his strength and Erun, but now this terrifying self-confidence made him feel an inexplicable confidence in his own ability, and because of this [Crazy Laughter] relationship, he wished that he could further improve his strength in battle.
In the dark space, only the footsteps of one after the other were rhythmically sounding, and occasionally a strange sound of rustling was heard for a while, as if hundreds of dense things crawled out of the water, and then quickly moved to other places, and the repeated monotonous black made Smaer even feel a little drowsy, and could only force himself to widen his eyes.
At this moment, Smail suddenly felt that he seemed to see his surroundings clearly for a moment, this feeling was very strange and strange, it felt as if there was a light around him, but the scene he saw was black and white, like a picture drawn with a pencil.
The feeling was fleeting, and he continued to follow behind, the thought of wanting to see his surroundings clearly, and at a certain moment, this phenomenon happened again, and with a faint burning pain, he actually saw the surrounding scene clearly.
Could it be a Devil Fruit relationship?
Thinking of this, Smal was overjoyed, after all, he has now become an ability, although there is no introduction in his memory about the ability to be able to see at night, but the memory suggests that the Devil Fruit can greatly improve physiological functions, so that all aspects of the human body's abilities have been enhanced.
In this case, if you concentrate the power of the fruit on your eyes, you may be able to enhance your eyesight.
Thinking of this, Smal immediately began to try to concentrate the power in his eyes, he was only level 19 now, and he was not even a beginner in the ability to control the Devil Fruit, but he found that he had just had such an idea, and he suddenly felt that he could easily control the method of manipulating the power of the fruit.
Strands of fruit power were withdrawn from his Devil Fruit core, and then immediately converged on his eyes, forming a swirl of energy, his eyes felt a burning and stinging pain again, and then, the surrounding scene became clear.
Under the power of the fruit, although he could not see the colorful scenes, he could see black and white images, everything around him became like a sketch painting, and even a hazy black shadow appeared inside the iron gate, obviously, if his Devil Fruit level was raised to a higher level, maybe he could really reach night vision.
Or......
To be precise, this kind of power is a bit similar to seeing and hearing domineering!
However, as Smael gradually saw the situation around him, he suddenly felt that the hairs on his body were about to stand on end.
It turned out that the strange moving sounds he had just heard came from a group of strange black tongue-like creatures, these soft creatures looked a bit like leeches in their own world, but they were much larger than leeches, and their bodies were covered with disgusting patterns, and there was something like an eye in the middle of the patterns, there were too many of them, covering the walls and iron doors, and Smail turned his head to see that he was also constantly gathering behind him with this terrible flower leech.
"What's going on? Why did all these leeches gather? Smal exclaimed.
"Hey...... Doctor...... Maybe it's because you're ...... Blood of it! So...... Delicious ...... Flavor...... I can't help but drool......" said the glasses zombie who walked in front licked his tongue.
"What are you talking about, bastard?"
Smal said, clasping the back of the bespectacled zombie's neck, knocking him to the ground, and then riding on.
There was a creaking sound of bones breaking from the back of the glasses zombie, and the glasses zombie turned his head with difficulty, but he was very surprised:
"Doctor...... This is the Empress's ...... Children......"
At this moment, Smaer suddenly felt several leeches around him jump off the wall and pounce directly on him.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding leeches also became active all at once, and frantically surrounded him.
Smail let go of the glasses zombie and quickly cut the leeches that were the first to pounce with the scalpel in his hand, but these guys went one after another, and they couldn't kill them at all, and it didn't take long for his body to be wrapped in these dense leeches, and at the same time, the leeches that he cut off quickly split into two independent living individuals, each with an eyeball.
Smer's white coat was torn open, and the blood holes on his body that had not yet fully healed were quickly targeted by these disgusting creatures, and his body was crawling with leeches, and he was also devoured by these lurkers in the darkness.
