Chapter 299: The Worm That Devoured Dreams
It was like a corner of a laboratory, less than ten square meters in space, with smooth floors and white walls, and a few broken reagent tubes on the ground, and something blurred beyond, beyond the blurred boundary, a gray space that looked endless, probably the end of this dream.
There was a "click" sound of insects gnawing hard objects everywhere, which made people's hearts tremble, Zhao Rou curled up in the corner of the wall, holding her head in her hands, and trembling uncontrollably.
"Bugs, bugs are in......"
When Xia Ren and Lily came in, they saw the scene in front of them.
This small dream seemed to be about to collapse, and he saw that the blurred black lines were like a network of nerves, and they were also like a winding and twisted passage of the ant ** part, scattered in the air, and the sound of gnawing hard objects came from the passage.
And the top of each passage was slowly extending, and several of them passed through their bodies, but Xia Ren didn't feel the slightest sign of discomfort.
"These black lines ......"
He stretched out his hand and waved it in the air, neither himself nor the black line was affected, and this situation was exactly the same as what happened in a real hospital room.
"Don't these insects belong to Zhao Rou's dream, they are at a deeper level?"
However, if it is not in Zhao Rou's dream, where else can it be?
No one was able to explain the question, and Xia Ren had to find the answer on his own.
He walked up to Zhao Rou and patted her on the shoulder: "Can you speak?" ”
Zhao Rou raised her head, her face full of horror: "Who are you?" Hurry up and run! The bugs are coming in! ”
Didn't she even know herself in the dream?
Xia Ren felt a little surprised, he sorted out his thoughts and asked, "Why are you here?" And what's the deal with the bugs you mentioned? ”
At the mention of the word insect, Zhao Rou's reaction was fierce: "Run!" Run! Run! ”
She went crazy, pushing and shoving Natsuin and Lily hard, trying to get rid of them.
"You calm down first!"
Natsuhito grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her against the wall behind her.
Zhao Rou in the dream seems to know something, and now the top priority is to let her tell the clues she knows first, otherwise she will not be able to figure out what is going on by herself.
"Listen."
He paused and said in a calm tone: "We are here to help you, we will not leave, believe me, these bugs are nothing to fear." ”
Zhao Rou struggled twice, but her strength was far inferior to Xia Ren's, so she couldn't break free at all.
It seemed that Xia Ren's words played some role, and she began to mumble to herself:
"They'll find here, they'll find my ......"
"Who are they?"
Xia Ren asked in passing.
"Bugs, lots and lots of bugs, they're looking for my location, it won't be long before ......"
Zhao Rou shook her head painfully, her tone full of despair.
Xia Ren continued to ask, "Why did the bugs look for you, and how did you find them?" ”
"Parasitic ......"
"What?"
She spoke in a very small voice, and Xia Ren didn't hear clearly.
Zhao Rou suddenly raised her head and looked at him.
The moment they looked at each other, Xia Ren's head buzzed, and he instantly felt his scalp tingle.
"It's ......"
In Zhao Rou's right eye, the pupil has disappeared, and only the whites of the eyes remain.
A long, pure white worm coiled like a snake over her pupil, stretching and contracting regularly, as if in some kind of breathing motion.
And Zhao Rou didn't notice this, she didn't seem to feel a little pain, only horror and despair on her face.
"Hurry up, they're coming!"
As she spoke, the worms inside her eyeballs were also affected, and the frequency of expansion and contraction was noticeably faster.
Xia Ren forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his heart and asked, "How can you know that they are looking for you?" ”
"I can feel it."
Zhao Rou was very anxious: "I can feel that there is a worm in my body, there were originally two, but the other one did not hatch, it suddenly disappeared, it lost its mate, and it could not reproduce, so it was calling for companions." ”
The missing companion should be the eggs that Lily took out that night.
"You're saying that the rest of the bugs are the one inside you called?"
"No time......"
Zhao Rou cried and shouted, "You guys go quickly!" It's cheering, and its companions are about to find this place, and no one will be able to run then! ”
Faced with her excited appearance, Xia Ren was not as worried as he was at the beginning.
Fear comes from the unknown, and now that he has roughly figured out what the current situation is, there is naturally no need to be afraid.
"Lily!"
Xia Ren shouted, "Take off her right eye!" ”
"Aang!"
The wriggling insects in the air had long made Lily feel annoyed, she agreed, her arms instantly stretched, and her nails became sharp, like a sharp knife, piercing straight into Zhao Rou's eye sockets, ripping out her eyeballs directly.
Zhao Rou screamed in pain, trembling all over, Xia Ren let go of her shoulders and let her cover her face and squat on the ground in pain, red blood flowed out along her fingers, fell low to the ground, and soon gathered into a small pool of blood.
"Daddy, give."
Like a treasure, Lily held her eyeballs to Xia Ren with her bloodstained little hands.
"You go and help her with some pain."
Seeing that Lily began to squat down and stretched out a ball of green gel-wrapped tissue to wrap around Zhao Rou's head, Xia Ren took his eyeballs in his hands and took a closer look.
The worm inside presumably sensed that it had escaped from its host and was in danger, so it began to wander around its eyeballs with some agitation.
"Is that this little thing?"
Seemingly, there is nothing dangerous.
He lightly slashed his eyeball with his fingernail, and immediately the transparent tissue fluid flowed out, and the long strips of worms inside were also exposed to the air.
"Uhhh
Sensing the threat, the worm arched itself and hissed.
It had black mouthparts at one end, covered with two sharp fangs, and bit into the skin of Xia Ren's palm.
Xia Ren felt a tingling pain in his palm, and his body reflexively clenched his fist.
"Oops."
Realizing that something was wrong, he reopened his palm, and the poor worm was already motionless, the back half of its body and the main body were suffocated, and the yellowish viscous pus squeezed out of the other end, emitting a pungent fishy smell.
I pinched it to death......
Xia Ren didn't expect it to be so fragile, at the same time, the worms seemed to have collectively lost their purpose, and the blurred black lines in the air suddenly became disordered, and their direction began to be chaotic, it seems that these worms can't clearly perceive this dream, and can only rely on this one in Zhao Rou's body to guide the way.
Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Xia Ren also breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned back to check on Zhao Rou's condition, only to find that she had been scared unconscious by Lily.
The space around them is beginning to distort, and the boundaries of the dream are shrinking.
"Do you want to eat?"
Xia Ren stretched out his palm and placed the corpse of the worm just now in front of Lily.
Lily looked at the bug, and then at Xia Ren, her expression a little indescribable.
"It's not tasty......"
She said aggrievedly.
It's even a picky eater.
Natsuhito tossed the bug aside and looked around.
"Her dream is coming to an end."
