A slender teenager casually responded to the greetings of nearby acquaintances, put his hands in his pockets, and looked up at the starry night sky as much as he could. He was wearing a student uniform, a pitch-black uniform that resembled a suit, with the school emblem of "Gokuda High School" sewn on the chest.

The teenager's destination was the Ota Public University Hospital. The research building next door seems to have never turned off the lights in my youth's memory.

The hinterland of Ogota University, which has everything from computer-related departments to the Faculty of Agriculture, is very wide, which makes Ogota High School, where teenagers study, seem small in comparison.

Next door to the main school building, which is almost 300 meters away, is the University Hospital.

The person at the counter was already familiar with the young man. Although the entrance to the front of the university hospital, which smells of disinfectant water, is open, people still look unhappy when they pass by teenagers in school uniforms, who are both civilian and work uniforms because of poverty.

Do you have any comments?

Although the young man thought this very unhappily in his heart, he just silently paid attention to them and went straight to Guò.

Continuing towards the north, the area suddenly became sparsely populated, and a square hole appeared in the ground at the end of the corridor. At first glance, it looks like a trap, but if you look closely, you can see that it's just a steep staircase.

If you hear that a strange person has added a morgue to the university hospital without permission, and is still living in it with a corpse, the unknown person will not know what the expression will be—the boy pondered as he walked down the stairs.

It's not just because of the cooler air here.

Pushing open the door, probably to scare away the idlers and others, the bust of the terrifying demon was carved on it, and the smell of mint aromatics wafted through the room. It's dim but surprisingly wide, and the floor is covered with green tiles, like an unpleasant operating room, but a closer look reveals underwear, lunch boxes, and blackboards written in German and other languages. On the whole, there is a vague atmosphere of people living here.

Didn't see the key room owner though.

"Doctor—are you there?"

"Here."

Rentaro turned his head to look at the source of the sound and couldn't help but be surprised.

Deep sunken dark eye sockets plus a strong naked/body with a height of more than 1.8 meters. The shaved head bears visible marks of skin plucking. It was a male corpse that the teenager had never seen at all.

"Wow!"

No matter how you judge, the voice just now came from this guy, but the corpse can't speak. Teenagers have always been very unruly about ghost stories and the like.

"Smack!" With a sound, the young man's familiar white-robed female figure appeared from behind the corpse, and he couldn't help but feel weak in relief.

"Don't, don't be scary, doctor!"

"Hi Rentaro-san, welcome to Hell."

The other party spread his hands in a pretended manner. Beneath the floor-length white robe was a tight skirt of casual clothes.

Her skin is so pale that she is unhealthy, and she really feels like a ghost. It is not washed all year round and the bangs are too long to cover half of the eyes. However, a closer look reveals that she is a rare beauty.

The woman's name is Sumire Muroto. He is the head of this forensic science classroom and a researcher of intestinal animals.

She's both the queen of this dimly lit basement and a heavy cocooner. As long as no one pays attention to her and adds enough food reserves, she will keep herself locked inside.

As for what are gastrulations?

Ha, are you still an earthling?!

The so-called protozoa, which is a creature born after being infected with a terrifying virus that is highly infectious through blood and can rewrite biological DNA, suddenly broke out around the world in 2021, destroying the human world to the point of almost annihilation in a short period of time.

Infected organisms mutate for a short period of time and mix the DNA of the infected person with the DNA of other animals. Turn into a terrifying and murderous monster. The more mixed the DNA of different species, the stronger and harder the strength and outer skin of the gastrator, which can be basically divided into I~IV classes according to the strength.

The stage V arazoa are called the zodiac, and these terrifying monsters that exceed the stage IV classification were given the names of the zodiac by the United States and Japan during the Protozoan War. Now it is commonly known that there are eleven witnesses in the world, and they exerted terrifying combat power in the Great War ten years ago, and they are the existence that made mankind once on the verge of extinction.

It has a huge body that is far larger than the size of Stage IV, a hard outer skin that is completely ineffective with ordinary weapons, and a molecular-level regeneration ability. and the ability to be unaffected by the magnetic field of the megalith.

Ten years ago, the Aragus attacked in a big way and finally defeated the humans. Humans have lost 80% of their area.

The area where this hospital is located is the Tokyo area, which was one of the five major areas that Japan was divided into after the Atomic Intestine War.

The boy named Rentaro is not just an ordinary student, but also a police officer of a civilian security company responsible for the eradication of intestinal animals!

In a previous mission, he defeated an intestinal animal and gave it to the original intestinal researcher's doctor to perform dissection.

Now I came here to ask about the results.

For this doctor, Rentaro has to look at each other with shivering all over his body, and be mentally prepared to be disgusted at any time.

Her personality is extremely averse to human contact, and as a result, she is blatantly ostracized from school.

"There are only the dead and the people who are about to die." -- That's her motto.

Let's hurry up and get down to business--Rentaro, who was thinking so, was about to speak, but the doctor Sumire took the first step: "The stage I gastaroids you defeated earlier have been sent to my real room. Can't you kill it more beautifully? The impact of the bullet destroys the musculature, and the warhead is scattered everywhere. Nobita is a lazy and lazy coward, but at least he has a specialty in shooting. Not only are you lazy and timid, you are so inferior in marksmanship. It's just terrible. I asked directly, why haven't you committed suicide yet? You have no hope in this world, do you? ”

"Am I that useless!"

Rentaro couldn't help but sigh.

After all, this disappointing beauty is an expert in the dissection and research of gastrulation commissioned by the government. In addition, although her appearance is absolutely invisible, she seems to have a high IQ, and it is said that she was once the darling of the school.

"Anyway, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

"I'm talking about dinner."

"Not yet."

"Let's try my original cuisine."

She got up and took out the plate in the microwave and tore open the plastic wrap. It instantly thought it was white porridge, but it was actually a semi-solid, oatmeal-like thing. Scoop up a spoon with a spoon and make a strange sound that can be described as grunting. There was even a smell of rancidness, what the hell was that?

Rentaro pretended not to know though. But large beads of sweat still came out of his face:

"Doctor, did you know that there's a food called 'cereal' in the 'Hack Mission' movie?"

"Well, that seems to be delicious. Muffins with the children's book 'Gully and Gullah', Castle in the Sky bread, and cereal are the top three foods I picked in the two-dimensional realm. ”

"Something strange seems to have gotten in?"

"Huh? Slowly, the TV screen is also flat, but because the 'Hacking Mission' is a live-action movie, is it three-dimensional? What do you think? ”

"Yes, yes! Let's talk about work. ”

"You eat first. If you don't eat it, I won't say it. ”

"Really, really"

Rentaro looked at the dimly lit ceiling, then stared at the cereal helplessly. It was like laughing at itself, and the surface was "poof! "Bubbles.

Rentaro secretly said, "It's dead." "Put the food in your mouth.

The result was surprisingly delicious!

-- This wonderful result did not happen. In the next moment, Rentaro felt a pain that seemed to run through his mouth and a series of violence on his palate.

"Oooo Itchy throat to death! ”

"How's it going, is it delicious?"

"Does my face look delicious?"

Sumire poses the viewfinder with her thumb and forefinger, and mutters "um" as she watches.

"If I were a photographer, I would call this picture 'Misery - Between Hell and Purgatory-'?"

"In addition to being exaggerated sweet, there is also a sour taste that makes people want to vomit. What the hell is this? ”

"Well, although it dissolves almost the same, it was originally a doughnut. It was removed from the stomach of the corpse. ”

Rentaro couldn't help but cover his mouth.

"The sink is there."

He propped himself up on the sink and vomited everything in his stomach.

What to do, I really want to go home.

The exhaustion that filled his body made Rentaro hang his shoulders. Sumire Kakkati smiled and took notes at the same time:

"Let's get to the point. Do you want to know the results of the biological autopsy that you knocked down? ”

"Doctor, the source of the infection - I'm afraid it's a single-factor spider. No sightings or annihilations were reported. If this continues, there may be more victims, and I hope to eliminate it sooner rather than later. If it wanted to hide, where do you think it would be? ”

"Well."

Sumire swaps her cocked legs and plays with the swivel chair under her buttocks:

"It's possible to open the manhole cover and escape underground. Then cover the manhole cover with a bang. ”

Rentaro frowned: "With a spider's foot? ”

"Aren't its feet twice as thick as human limbs? It should be easier to do this, right? ”

"'Gastaroids lack intelligence. Inferior creatures who act only by nature and instinct' - isn't that what the textbooks say? ”

Sumire shook her head helplessly, spread her hands and replied, "For some reason, the notion that protosalites have no intelligence in Japan has become a foregone conclusion, but this has almost proven to be a false idea. Europe and the United States now believe that protosasperms are intelligent. ”

"Hmm. I think so, too, but the inference lurking underground sounds good, but it should be in the wrong direction. The equipment in the nearest sewers is also equipped with a monitor with night vision. If that guy escapes into the ground as the doctor said, he should be photographed by the machine soon. ”

"Huh. When did Japan become like this? Sure enough, it's easy to forget the changes in the outside world when you stay here. Well, this time the infected person was rewritten into the DNA of a fly, but then again, your knowledge of biology is not bad. (To be continued......)
