“…… The city lord died, the alarm was triggered, why kill the parasites in the entire city? Now I'm probably moving, but whenever the parasite dies, either way, it will eventually be integrated into the sarcoma that has just grown from the monster's body, and the monster will merge with the eyeball. I was thinking that maybe it would be the people of the inner city who would find the way to find the eyeballs, maybe too. ”

That's what I guessed in my head.

So at the moment, the eyeballs on my face become a big trouble.

But the bigger trouble was that I couldn't get it out of my eye socket at all. Those slender silk threads have penetrated into my body layer by layer, covering every inch of flesh and blood. I had a feeling that even if I gouged out my eyeballs now, or even destroyed them, maybe a new and identical eye would emerge from my eye socket next.

It has melted into my flesh and blood, and has become a part of me.

"Even my insect venom seems to live in harmony with it...... But maybe it's evolving? I can't feel more right now. With that, I moved my body again and took a look at the situation below.

Speaking of which, everything that this eye saw seemed to be clearer than before.

"But they don't seem to pay more attention to you, and they just attracted the monster because of the sound." Yu Xia crawled up to me and continued to whisper, "Or, at some point, something will suddenly change for us to be exposed?" ”

"I'm afraid of this ......"

"When will that be?"

"What's even more scary is that I don't know that point in time. But if you guess, it should be when you actually meet the people of the inner city. After all, the following are just a bunch of tools. ”

"It's a nuisance." Yu Xia sighed.

"It's almost over, wait another half an hour, and we'll go down." I slowly crawled back and continued to lie flat on the ground, looking at the rock wall overhead. I felt the strange sensation that came from that eye, which was wandering in my body at the moment.

It's weird.

Why do I think it's the same thing?

In the past, I always thought that insect venom parasitism and being humanized by snake people were two similar but different things. Insect venom is not the same as a substance that can parasitize the human body contained in the flesh and blood of snake people. It just looks like a man, like an ape......

But this time, I changed my mind.

They are not a human-ape relationship.

It's the relationship between people of different skin colors.

They're the same thing.

……

After about ten minutes, the visible part of the puppets on the lower floor had all left.

At this time, Yu Xia and I finally entered the sixteenth floor, but we were still cautious and didn't dare to make too many sounds.

We slowly walked in the direction of the tunnel, and during this time, I asked Yu Xia, "Have you ever made a deal with the people in the inner city?" ”

This is actually a question I've wanted to ask for a long time.

"There was a deal, but I don't know any inner-city people. The lord of the castle at that time was my husband. ”

"Hmm...... What is the deal? ”

"I don't know, I can't get involved too much. But it should be the same mission as the guy who just died. I just know a little bit about the structure here. But I didn't know about the passage we had just come up from. ”

"Then it seems that the death of your husband was instructed by the inner city, and it has little to do with the person he just killed. Otherwise, as the city lord at that time, he would have died and the same scene would have happened today. You say, why did the people of the inner city kill your husband? ”

"I said, I can't know much." Fun read

"Really?" I walked forward slowly, and Yu Guang looked at Yu Xia's slightly complicated expression on his face, "It's also quite strange to say, your husband was originally the city lord who did a good job, but he was suddenly killed by the people of the inner city. After that, the purebred snake people, who have a mysterious relationship with the people of the inner city, appear, kill and eat others, but leave you alone. You're really good. ”

Yu Xia stopped suddenly.

I didn't look back, but I could feel her gaze.

Some stared sharply at my back.

"Why don't you leave?" So, I stopped.

"What do you want to say......"

I turned around slowly, "I know a lot about the mechanism. There are two main categories, control traps and trigger traps. Most of the traps belong to the control type, which is different from the trigger defense type traps that usually appear in the dungeon. It needs to be operated by a mechanic in the vicinity of the controller. Although sensing sounds may also be the trigger conditions for its attacks, except for sensing sounds, the freedom of group movement is not very similar to triggering mechanisms. So I think the range of activities of these puppets is at most within the outer city, unless the controller is willing to show up and go out of the city. But now it seems that he is clearly reluctant to come out. ”

Yu Xia was silent and did not give any response to my words.

I continued: "As for why he didn't come out, perhaps it was the same as the appetite of the people in the outer city, and it was a certain restriction and restriction in this world. Those are not mentioned for the time being, and the problem is not big, it is just a setting. Let's move on to the next question. The people in the outer city listened to the inner city, and the inner city decided to kill you and your husband, and you were rescued, so did the inner city let you be rescued? It shouldn't be, although the puppet can't go out of the city, but the people in the outer city seem to have no restrictions or restrictions in the wilderness. That's the right thing to do is to arrest you. Is that right? ”

Yu Xia still didn't respond.

So, I continued: "They caught it, but they couldn't, the snake was too strong, they were no match at all. So if you think about it, I suddenly realize that the captivity you mentioned earlier now seems to be protecting you. ”

"You ......," Yu Xia finally spoke.

But I wasn't done yet, "It's not just that purebred snake man protecting you. Your husband was also killed by the people of the inner city to protect you. The defensive limits of this dungeon were created for you alone, and the alarm hidden in the body of the city lord was also designed for you. Because they know that you want this eye. Your so-called window to the world is all! From the beginning, you knew it was an eye, and I was right? ”

"You...... Who the hell is it? ”

"As you can see, I'm just a king worm."

"Did you know my secret from the beginning, or did you ......"

"I don't know anything, everything I just said is just guessing."

Yu Xia smiled coldly: "Heh, then you guessed, it's really accurate." So now, knowing so much about you, what are you going to do next? Kill me out of trouble? Or ......"

I waved my hand, "Actually, I'm not too curious about your story, and why they hunted you down has nothing to do with me." I don't even care why this eye grows into my flesh and blood. So what you said to kill you, I didn't even think about it. The only thing I want now is to get out of this world. I know, you must know what to do. So having said all that, I just wanted to tell you that I intend to work seriously with you. But I think that cooperation is to be relatively honest, and my goal is very simple, and I have already said that. Now let's talk about what you want to do. If you can help me get out of this world, I'm willing to help you. ”

"From the beginning, I felt that you were not a person who would be easily taken advantage of. Sure enough, it's much stronger than the other guy who plays with the clone. ”

"I like people complimenting me. Thank you. ”

"Heh......" Yu Xia smiled helplessly and began to tell her story, "Actually, you are wrong about one thing, I am a pure-blooded snake man, but I have three postures, half-human and half-snake, subspecies snake humanization, and the form of a giant snake. Because the half-human, half-snake is the unique posture of the pure-blooded snake people, in order not to let you notice my identity, I have not revealed it. It was my brother who was killed by you, but it doesn't matter, we don't have any affection for each other. He didn't protect me for the sake of affection. Of course, those of us who have lived for so long, it seems that there is no point in talking about family affection. After living for a long time, everything actually doesn't mean much. But the man was nice to me, although my affection for him was just that. But he died at the hands of the inner city people to protect me......"

"As for my background, I was born in this world and have never been exposed to the reality you mentioned. My brother is the same, but the difference between the two of us is that I was born in the outer city, while he was born in the inner city. According to my brother, we were both born of eyeballs, but we were killed by the Guardians before our bodies reached maturity. The elder brother was lucky and escaped. But how exactly to escape, he didn't tell me. He broke into the outer city and rescued me before I was killed, while raising me. Because of his luck, I survived. He thought that the most dangerous place was the safest, so he initially hid me in the outer city. He told me that if I want to hide myself, I just need to live in the mix, and as for the suffering, humiliation, and the like, just endure it. After explaining this, he left the outer city and went out into the wilderness. At first I did it, but after too long, I finally exposed myself. But at that time, I was already with the man, who was killed by the inner city in order to help me, and I did not escape...... Fortunately, my brother came to my rescue. It just punished me too. Since then, I haven't had a chance to leave the cave where he was hiding. ”

With that, she reached out to her right eye, gouged out the eyeball, and gently crushed it, turning it into ashes, "This is actually a fake eye." I was born of an eyeball, and the one on your face is, in fact, my eye. ”

"Is there a difference between the left and right eyes?"

I have indeed heard of and seen such snake people.

"Hmm...... My left eye abilities, you've seen it. My brother is also one-eyed, but what he lacks is his left eye, and his right eye's ability is to control the timeline. I don't know why, but it's strange that you came to the left side. ”

"So, you're here to survive?" I asked.

"He was, and so did I. But now...... That man was nice to me, he died for me, and I will at least destroy the inner city for him. Give him back his personal affection. ”
