On the other side, the girl who was rescued by Noah returned to her home after a full day of classes.

It was a mansion that could not be described as an exaggeration.

It has the feel of a medieval Western-style mansion and a Japanese-style mansion, and it is quite luxurious when viewed from the outside.

But for some reason, there is an eerie atmosphere that makes this place a rarity, and few people come here.

Formally, it's a girl's home.

However, in the eyes of the girl, such a home is exactly like a beast that opens its bloody mouth to herself, trying to swallow herself in one bite without leaving the slightest trace.

This made the girl stand at the door of her house, and she couldn't make up her mind to go inside for a long time.

If you look closely, the girl's hands are even trembling, and there is a look of fear and fear in her eyes and face.

Such emotions will emerge from the depths of the girl's heart almost every time with the girl's return.

Where is it possible for ordinary people to have such a fear of their home?

But that's what happened to the girl.

There is no other reason.

For the girl, in addition to being a home, this is also a desperate cave.

To be honest, it is already a miracle that the girl did not escape.

It's a miracle.

There is absolutely no exaggeration in this statement.

Remembering everything that awaited her in the demon cave in front of her, the girl forcibly swallowed the fear and fear in her heart. Still trembling hands, he put the door in front of him. Open gently.

What entered the girl's eyes was a particularly dimly lit entryway.

If you have a little more light, this entrance is definitely a very warm place.

And in the absence of significant light. It seems particularly gloomy now, and this hallway brings people only a sense of horror.

Even girls who have lived here for more than ten years have to admit it.

Your home will definitely be a place that no one else will want to come back again.

After opening the door, some of the outside light entered the entrance, dispelling some of the horror.

So the girl was able to enter her home with great fear in her heart.

"Bang..."

The sound of the door closing sounded softly.

All the light was obscured in this instant, and not a single trace ran into the dim hallway.

"Hum!"

Just in the next second. A sound like something rubbing echoed through the air.

“――――！”

As if remembering something, the girl's face instantly turned pale.

Immediately, the girl saw it.

Inside the entrance, a large number of insects the size of a man's palm flapped their wings, like locusts that were about to devour everything, like a burst of flying sand, and pounced in the direction of the girl.

"Ahh

The girl involuntarily let out a mournful sound, and reflexively raised her hand in front of her.

However. Just as the large number of huge insects was about to pounce on the girl's body, a layer of brilliant golden light suddenly flowed around the girl's body.

"Zheng---!"

Like a small sun, the girl's whole body bloomed with brilliant golden rays.

These golden rays seem to turn into crystals, forming an oval-shaped barrier. Enveloping the girl's whole body in it.

"Bang---!"

The insects that pounced in the direction of the girl were all touching the brilliant golden rays around the girl's body, like a ball that had been bounced away, in a neat muffled sound. All that was left flew away, smashing into the walls, floors, and doors around the entrance. After a few movements, he stopped moving.

The brilliant golden rays that shrouded the girl's body were dim. In an instant, most of it weakened, leaving only an extremely thin and dim layer.

At this time, the girl slowly raised her pale face, looked at the insects that covered the entire entrance, and retreated in horror, as if she wanted to stay away from the insects around her.

Then, a gloomy and creepy voice sounded from the front.

"Sure enough, ten years have passed, is there some kind of power in your body that is still protecting you?"

Hearing this voice, the girl's face became even paler, and her eyes and expression became more fearful.

Under such circumstances, a short figure gradually walked out from the shadow of the entrance in front of him.

It was an old man who, like the voice, made people feel very creepy, and even had a numb scalp.

The old man was very short, and his skin was quite shriveled, like a mummy, and he had a feeling of decay and shriveled all over his body.

In addition, the old man was bald, a pair of eye sockets were deeply sunk into the eyes, and the whole appearance looked like a skeleton, but the eyes were blooming with a terrifying essence, which was extremely terrifying.

Seeing the appearance of the old man, the girl's body trembled, and she lowered her head, and squeezed out her voice in extreme fear.

"Master... Grandpa..."

Yes.

Grandfather.

The terrifying old man in front of him, who attacked the girl, was the girl's grandfather.

Even if it's just nominal...

The old man looked at the girl as if he hadn't heard the girl's voice.

That look is not like looking at his granddaughter at all, but more like looking at a work of art that he wants but can't touch, that is, regret and covetousness.

Turning around, the old man leaned on crutches and spoke in a cold voice.

"Come here."

The girl's delicate body couldn't help but tremble, looking at the old man who was gradually moving forward, she could only bite her lip, lower her head, and obediently follow.

……

"Rustle..."

It's still like something rubbing.

Such a sound reverberates throughout the space, reminiscent of the word "chewing", and is unusually disgusting.

In fact, the object of such a sound is quite disgusting.

It was a pile of worms covered with a whole cavern with a diameter of more than ten meters long, crawling and twisting with each other, vibrating the mouthparts.

Even more disgusting than the bugs that had just attacked the girl, the bugs crawled and writhed throughout the cavern, overlapping their bodies and secreting something like a liquid, making goosebumps linger throughout the space.

Looking at the cavern underneath that was full of disgusting bugs, even though she was forced to come here almost every day, the girl was still terrified by it.

But the old man standing behind the girl spoke indifferently.

"Get in!"

The girl's heart was covered with a layer of deep fear.

This sentence can be heard every day by a girl.

However, the girl was still unable to do so.

Who would want to go into such a disgusting wormhole?

In the face of such a girl who did not move at all, but blindly trembled her body, the old man stretched out his hand mercilessly, and pushed heavily behind the girl's back.

"Ahh

"Rustle..."

Almost at the same time, the insects that filled the entire wormhole quickly crawled in the direction of the girl like flies that smelled fish.

"Zheng---!"

At this moment, the brilliant golden rays once again emerged from the girl's body, covering the girl's whole body.

All the insects that touched that layer of golden mangs seemed to be blocked out, and they couldn't get into it no matter how they did.

"Cut—" The old man suddenly stammered with annoyance.

"It's been ten years, and I've been dragged by this inexplicable power for ten years without being able to implant the Marker Worm into your body, damn Tosaka Tokitomi, I didn't mention that his daughter had such a power at the beginning, what kind of power is that?!"

For this result, the old man actually expected it for a long time.

After all, as I just said, for a whole decade, the old man had no way to break through that layer of defense and let those bugs touch the girl's body.

This made the old man unusually angry.

"It's okay to have an ordinary touch, but once it hurts this woman, this power will protect her, which is really annoying." The old man tapped his cane hard, but soon, he burst out laughing again.

"However, this kind of protection should come to an end, right?"

Saying this, the old man stared at the golden light that shrouded the girl's body.

That layer of golden light was gradually dimming in a faint amplitude.

"In ten years, this force is finally about to be exhausted, and my plan is almost ready to be implemented." The old man laughed.

"Just enjoy your last time as a human, Sakura..."

Leaving these words, the old man turned around and disappeared in place.

The girl was left alone, curled up, and stayed in the corner.

"Who's coming... Help me..." (To be continued......)
