What Harukawa is doing now is looking for traces of the slime monsters.

This may seem to contradict his previous thinking, but it is not.

What Shirakawa Haru had thought before was to destroy the silt one by one.

This is undoubtedly a very stupid and thankless approach.

And just as Shirakawa Harushi was worried, the speed of destruction may not be able to catch up with the speed of generation.

To put it simply, it's just useless work.

Harukawa Shirakawa also needs to digest the negative effects of eating weirdness.

Pay for one's whistle.

But Bai Chuanqing suddenly realized that there must be a core in such a space.

Although slime can emerge from various places at any time, are they really randomly distributed around the city?

The answer, obviously, is no.

As he had discovered, the amount of slime outside the city was much less than the amount inside the city.

A place with fewer people will have fewer than a place with a lot of people.

This is indeed related to this strange characteristic, but it is undeniable that their distribution is affected by some factor.

Think of the empty streets.

The slime is hiding in the shadows.

Harukawa Shirakawa has a bold but credible conjecture.

Somewhere in the city, there may be a lair of slime freaks!

When they don't usually appear, they are likely to gather in their nests, like the incomparably huge monster last night, where is there a place for it to hide?

It's like it just popped out of nowhere!

And the location of this nest ......

Harukawa Shirakawa looked down at the ground beneath her feet.

[I'm afraid, it's under the city, right? 】

If there were any nests, there would only be space below the ground to accommodate that level of weirdness.

Shirakawa Harushi thought as his eyes searched around for traces of the slime monster passing by.

He wasn't trying to eliminate just one monster.

Rather, I want to use it to find the location of the lair.

Bai Chuanqing naturally knew the risk of doing so, but he actually thought it through.

If this drags on any longer, innocent people will die every moment, not to mention for the time being.

The generation of negative emotions every day will definitely make the so-called "Him" stronger and stronger.

If the situation is allowed to develop again, Bai Chuanqing will probably not have the confidence to solve this incident.

Besides, isn't the danger always experienced by Harukawa Shirakawa?

Starting from facing the strange teleportation array, to facing the monsters sent by the "express" again and again, and later the mutated basilisk, Helliver, and even the strange flowers on the isolated island at sea.

Every enemy is dangerous.

Only this time it's more dangerous.

On the other hand, if you don't do it now, the danger in the future will be shared with Selena and Nishio Shizune.

At that time, will Shirakawa Haru be able to watch all the innocent people in this world be killed?

Harukawa Shirakawa had already made up her mind.

Telling Selena to work as a team to help the members of the Anomalies actually had the idea of luring them away.

With a keen sense of smell, Harukawa quickly found a sludge monster.

It was crawling slowly through a building.

There is no intelligence to speak of this kind of weirdness, only a few instinctive drives.

It is driven by the human breath.

They are like zombies in a zombie movie, and they have a special interest in humans.

It is also possible that their predecessors, who were human beings, had such instincts.

Oddly enough, they don't usually melt people into their bodies so quickly.

More often than not, they follow behind people unhurriedly, and when they want to escape, they catch up quickly, and if they don't run away, they always give a strong sense of oppression behind them.

And this sense of oppression is often even more devastating.

Death in an instant is not so terrible, if you really want to say that the pain is only for a while, but the process of death is extended, and the feeling of torture is indescribable!

All kinds of famous punishments in ancient times were also of a similar truth, such as Ling Chi, Ren Bi, and Sandalwood Punishment, all of which were the same.

Like cats and mice, the mud teases their prey half to death and then eats it.

Undoubtedly, this is also to capture more negative emotions.

Perhaps, it is still to wait for people to transform into their own kind.

The rest are sound, movement, and so on.

The reason why this one stayed here was because in a room upstairs, there was a mother and daughter hugging each other tightly, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

"Mom..... I'm afraid ....."

The little girl said to the woman in a trembling voice.

During this time, they have actually witnessed many strange and human beings being dissolved alive.

Even if the woman has always covered the child's eyes and prevented her from seeing those images.

But the screams in her ears and the appearance of the monster still left an indelible psychological shadow on the girl.

It was only when they heard the peculiar, slimy, strange creeping sound and smelled a faint stench that they were almost certain that there was one of those monsters hovering around them.

"Don't be afraid, Mommy is here."

The woman held her daughter in her arms and used the hug to calm her inner turmoil.

"It should just be passing by and will leave soon."

She was also scared, but as a mother, she couldn't cry out loud in front of her daughter.

From a girl to a mother, the most important change is that in front of the child, she can no longer have the weakness of a little girl.

This mother is actually ready to realize in her heart.

If the monster continues to wander, it can only use her as bait to lure it away for the time being.

Whether you die or live is actually not that important, as long as your daughter can be safe, it will be enough.

Through the window, the woman saw Harushi Shirakawa walking down the street.

He was walking steadily towards the building they were in.

[Don't come here, there are monsters here.....]

She actually wanted to shout out to remind the other party, but when she thought of her daughter, she didn't dare to speak out again.

After a few moments, the peculiar creeping sound disappeared.

The stench also slowly dissipated.

The woman finally breathed a sigh of relief, she just thought that the monster really didn't notice them, and just happened to be downstairs.

Out of a cautious point of view, she still had no intention of going downstairs.

By the time half an hour had passed, the stench was almost gone.

The woman trembled and let her daughter stay in the room, and walked downstairs cautiously.

Halfway through, the little girl ran out of the room.

There were tears on his little face.

She hugged the woman's arm and said firmly.

"I want to be with my mother, and I want to protect my mother!"

The woman's eyes were slightly moist, and she took her daughter's hand and walked downstairs.

She looked over first, but she didn't hear the sound, and she didn't see any sticky marks.

When I actually walked downstairs to take a look, I was taken aback.

It turned out that in the corner downstairs, there was a deep pit that was not shallow.

It was as if a chunk had been eaten by some strange creature.

The strangest part was that there was such a deep pit, and they didn't hear it at all upstairs

And inside the pit, in addition to the foundation of the house itself, steel bars and the like, there is a small crack.

[That kind of thing, got in from here? 】

The woman thought about it, and planned to move to another house in a hurry.

- There are not many other rooms in this deserted city, but this kind of room that no one wants.

Turning her head, the little girl said strangely.

"Mom, there's chocolate there!"

She said, pointing to the table downstairs.

"Huh?"

The woman was a little surprised.

But then I thought of the young man I had seen from the window.

[This is the ..... Did he leave it behind? 】

[So what happened just now? 】

Looking at the empty room, the woman had some bold guesses.

On the other side, Harukawa Shirakawa had already left the house, looking for his next target.

This normal sludge, as he thought, did not help him find the lair.

Even if Shirakawa Haru controlled it with tentacles, it would be the same.

It is a purely single-celled organism, and there is no such thing as "threatened" at all.

Even if it dies, it is estimated that it will not feel pain.

I only know that I am desperate to launch an attack on Bai Chuanqing.

But it's not useless, as the woman sees.

Harukawa found a strange-looking crack in the corner.

The opening of the crack is not large, not large compared to the volume of the whole pile of mucus.

But Shirakawa Harushi could easily smell their own scent.

- That's where they come from.

The deep pit was not caused by a slime monster, but Shirakawa wanted to try to see where this gap led, so he "simply" dug it with his tentacles.

At this time, "gluttony" was lent to Selena, and the hard work of eating soil could only be completed with tentacles.

It's just that for now, the depth of the crack may have exceeded his expectations.

In order to prevent the house from collapsing due to further digging, Harukawa Shirakawa had no choice but to stop for the time being.

In the following time.

Harukawa found several more test subjects to confirm his hypothesis.

The result was exactly what he had thought.

There is always a small crack in the place where they appear, around them or not far away.

Sometimes the crack is even universal.

At this point, Harukawa Shirakawa can basically be sure that the nest of the weirdos, or the place where they gather, is just below the city!

Just thinking about it, it's a little creepy.

The volume under the ground of the city may be larger than the entire city!

If all the mud poured out, I am afraid that it could swallow the whole city, right?

Now that this has been determined, the next thing to do is to go underground and see it for yourself.

But then the problem arises again, the state of these cracks under the ground is not a straight line, but a small space that twists and turns.

It's true that Harukawa can dig down directly, but whether the place he digs is the most central location, and whether he can really find the place where the weirdos are.

That's another question.

Thinking of this, Bai Chuanqing thought of another way.

Look for the slime with a special spirit, the one that can disguise itself as a human.

This kind of weirdness is still quite different from ordinary silt.

The first is the difference in intelligence.

One is a single-celled creature at best, and the other is not very intelligent, but after occupying a human shell, it will at least have a certain level of intelligence, and can design some trap-like scenes.

He wasn't trying to communicate with them, he just wanted to use them to find the underground gathering place.

The one that Shirakawa Haru caught before had already been wiped out after using it.

After their identities are discovered, they don't have any idea of communicating at all.

Only that one sentence will be spoken.

to manifest some of their thoughts and curses.

At that time, Shirakawa Harushi hadn't thought of it that far, so now he could only catch another one.

This is not a difficult thing for him.

This time, the spirit was disguised as a poor girl, and walked with two or three men.

- Harukawa Shirakawa has discovered it now, and this kind of existence is often disguised as a human who looks weak on the surface.

Pretty women, young children, are their most common forms.

I have to admit that this is indeed the best way to break the vigilance.

The three men didn't notice anything unusual at all, and they had a good conversation.

There is still a feeling of jealousy in it.

It can be seen that they are not the kind of people who have lost their morals, but they just look at the poor and beautiful girl, and they naturally have special thoughts in their hearts.

In addition, the object it plays is still the kind that is more windy.

The three of them originally seemed to be friends, but after being teased again, conflicts slowly appeared.

Bai Chuanqing didn't have time to care about the love and hatred between them, so he came forward directly, and without saying a word, he directly broke the two legs disguised as a girl's mud.

The three of them were naturally shocked when they saw it...... Where did this person come from?

It's a bit inaccurate to say "break", after all, the legs themselves are made of silt, and at best the shape of the surface has changed, and it can't really cause damage.

Originally, they wanted heroes to save the United States.

But seeing the limp legs, there was no painful look on the girl's face at all.

They also realized that something was wrong.

When the strong stench began to emanate and her form began to change, they were even more frightened.

"Strange ..... Monsters!! ”

After screaming, they fled without looking back.

Did you have a special desire for something like this before?

The spirits were unusually angry at the escape of their prey.

Just the emotion of anger can't change its strength.

In the blink of an eye, it was controlled by Harukawa Shirakawa.

The first thing Shirakawa had to do was to take off her clothes.

To put it bluntly, it is to remove the shell that belongs to the silt.

All that was left was the small, black spirit that wanted to escape.
