"Hmm......"

Velf, who had regained consciousness after the explosion, muttered and opened her eyes in a daze, and the first thing that appeared in sight was the blackened and smoking floor, and her own white body.

Finding that her demonic power had dissipated and she had returned to her "human form", Vilph looked up in confusion. Turning his gaze to the location of the "Hermit", he saw an astonishing scene:

Zhang Luo, whose clothes were also blown into rags, was standing next to the hermit's glass tube, and the one soaked in the glass tube was-

"Where did the monster come from...... she said, standing up, trying to drive the remaining power in her body to transform into a demon again, but she fell to her knees and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Although it originally looked like a human brain, the thing in the glass tube was no longer called a human, and even out of the category of ordinary heretical creatures, but some kind of indescribable "creature". Even Ville, who was a demon, couldn't help but feel sick when she saw it.

It was a wriggling piece of flesh with no skin tissue on it, and the outer layer of its body was composed entirely of countless strips of flesh resembling tentacles, and where there should not be eyes, there were several black eyes that were constantly turning, and although it looked like it was trying to condense into a "human form", it was completely unable to maintain its shape.

In addition, what extends from behind it, resembling the germination of a plant, adds a bit of grotesque feeling to this monster. It has both animal and plant characteristics. What's even more terrifying is that-

"Kill this monster, do you want to die?" Welf yelled at Zhang Luo.

Hear the words. Zhang Luo turned his head to look at the demon without clothes, and said a speech that surprised her flatly:

"What are you talking about? This is obviously a cute girl. ”

“……”

Realize that Zhang Luo is not joking. Instead, he really thought that the meat ball was a girl, and Villeff was a little overwhelmed for a while. He froze in place with his mouth open.

At this time, Zhang Luo had already set his eyes back on the "beautiful girl" in front of him.

Although he didn't know why he turned into Saya after injecting the brain in the tank with the black light virus, what he saw at this time was indeed a pure girl with long dark green hair, and two strands of hair that looked like horns and wings appeared on the back of her head, which looked cute.

Obviously, the "brain in a jar" saved by the black light virus has become the first time since the Halloween Killing Contest. I don't know where the heresy exists "Saya".

Although this is obviously inconsistent with what Brain in a Vat said before, "I come from a European laboratory", Zhang Luo did not immediately ask about this kind of thing at this time, but just took out three spare sets of black combat uniforms of the Strange Tales Research Society from the storage space, threw one of them to Velf, one was worn on himself, and the other set was placed on the floor in front of the glass tube, and said:

"Put it on, it feels like we're primitives now."

"Hmmm......"

Saya, who had just completed her gorgeous transformation, nodded slightly. Jumping out of the glass tube, the seemingly light body made a "bang" sound when it hit the ground.

She bent down and grabbed Zhang Luo's place on the ground. The size seems to be a little big combat uniform, and then-

With a disgusting swallowing sound, the garment suddenly disappeared as if it had been "absorbed" by Saya. The girl who was supposed to be wearing a black combat uniform suddenly appeared in a white dress.

"Kill it......" whispered Villeff, who had watched the lump of flesh devour his clothes.

"Why?" Zhang Luo turned his head to look at her. At this moment, Frankenstein's prompt suddenly lit up in his executioner's eye:

"This monster is extremely dangerous. It is recommended that you kill it immediately. ”

"Why are you all talking about this?" Zhang Luo, who had just experienced the big explosion and was still a little dizzy, didn't react for a while, and then, after remembering the legend about Saya, he suddenly realized that the situation was wrong.

-- Saya is a creature that seems to have a special appearance in the eyes of a special person. Her beautiful girl form is just a disguise, and the real appearance should be......

Thinking of this, Zhang Luo immediately turned on the video mode of the Executioner's Eye, recorded a scene and played it in his eyes, and then immediately discovered the truth:

The "innocent girl" in her eyes is actually an indescribable appearance, and ordinary people will have a bloody piece of flesh that will drop their SAN value just by looking at it!

"Thank you." A gentle voice rang in my ears.

Zhang Luocai turned off the video mode, and saw that Saya had already stood in front of him, bowing slightly politely, looking quiet and well-behaved.

“…… You're making it hard for me to do this. Zhang Luo sighed.

Although he said that if the brain in the tank mutated into a monster, it would be killed immediately, but in the face of this "strange creature" with no malicious intent, Zhang Luo really had a feeling that he couldn't start.

For him, this kind of existence that is both "beautiful" and curious is simply a dream lifeform, and if this "Saya" in front of him really obeys the oath just now......

"Can you promise me to be my subordinate and loyal to me forever?" Zhang Luo asked again.

In his eyes, Saya, who was still a girl in a white dress, nodded almost without hesitation. Whispered, "Yes." ”

Seeing that she had no intention of resisting, Zhang Luo smiled with relief and immediately said, "Since this is the case, then welcome to join my camp." ”

"Wait, are you really going to do that?" Velf, who couldn't understand Zhang Luo's actions at all, let out a surprised voice.

"Yes." Zhang Luo's answer was categorical: "Don't waste time on this issue." ”

He knew that the reason why he was able to see another form of Saya was because he had been in contact with the will from the abyss. After all, Saya is likely to be the same as the outer god "Black Goat" Shabu recorded in the Cthulhu Mythos. Nicholas is related, as a former incarnate outer god, it is normal to be able to see her "disguised form".

Of course, there is another possibility - Saya herself is a beautiful girl, and the piece of flesh that the others see is the illusion of camouflage she created.

But no matter what the facts are, as long as this guy didn't betray, Zhang Luo wouldn't kill her.

Thinking of this, Zhang Luo said to Villeff, "You'd better put on your clothes quickly." Then he turned his gaze back to Saya and reached out and touched her forehead.

Although he had seen the terrifying appearance of Saya herself, it was the same as the illusion of this beautiful girl, and what he felt in the palm of his hand was indeed the slightly cool and smooth skin of the girl's forehead, as well as the touch of fine hair.

Although he wanted to ask Saya why she had become the brain in the petri dish, Zhang Luo knew that with this "girl" having sworn allegiance to him, he would have enough time to discuss this issue with her in the future.

So now, it's time to solve the biggest puzzle in this catacomb:

What exactly is that monster that has been hiding in the catacombs since the beginning?

Thinking of this, Zhang Luo set his eyes on the iron door on the other side of the room that had been blown down, and said in a deep voice: "I'm ready to go." (To be continued.) )
