Mountains a few kilometers away.

The gentlemen looked at the town of full-scale riots,

The [clothing] they wore seemed to smell the smell of blood coming from the town, and became agitated.

Teacher Sman, who has a big belly, almost squeezes the facial features of his entire face together,

"If this kind of large-scale forced infection breaks out tonight, it will be difficult for anyone to make it until tomorrow afternoon...... I recommend bringing forward the end of the assessment to dawn. ”

This proposal was endorsed by many gentlemen.

Even the usually strict white-haired Professor Chamberson acquiesced.

While most of the gentlemen's eyes were on the center of town and the surrounding area where fierce fighting broke out,

Mutter~

The owl standing on Chamberson's shoulder let out a cry, pulling Chamberson's field of vision, and looked at the [Green Shade Inn] on the edge of the town.

Two "sick people" with independent consciousness did not participate in the riots in the town, but quietly slipped out of the back door.

One after the other pushed the wooden cart,

Stacked on top of it were six 'corpses', covered in a kind of 'fish egg membrane' and filled with a large amount of mucus.

And one of the 'corpses' pressed at the bottom was the young man that the white-haired Chamberson had paid attention to before, and slightly aroused his interest.

Chamberson just watched silently and didn't make any comments,

The wooden cart was pushed to the lakeside,

tilting the nose,

Wow~ The water splashed, and all six corpses were poured into it.

The brother and sister in charge of transportation also jumped into the lake,

They carried six corpses to the deepest part of the lake in a sticky way.

"It's ......"

The white-haired Chamberson's pupils changed at this moment, and this was also the first time he had used his ability since this proctoring.

The whites of the eyes are replaced by blood,

The round pupils are completely blackened,

Doubling his visual ability, he easily saw through the green lake, focusing on Yi Chen, who was wrapped in a film and pretending to be unconscious.

"This guy did this......

Chamberson stretched out his hand and pointed,

The owl on its shoulder immediately spread its wings and flew out, and the white shadow flashed across the night sky and flew towards the green lake.

……

【Under the Lake】

It was not a corpse carried by the brother and sister,

Rather, it is perfectly cultivated and suitable for "fish-like" infected organisms...... It is currently all used as a distractor, hiding Yi Chen as the 'sixth man'.

These membranes of fish eggs that wrap around the body,

It can effectively isolate the influence of the lake water,

It can also retain a certain amount of air, enough to support the bottom of the lake,

Other than that

Yi Chen has also made some insurance measures himself,

"Built-in mask"

There is an 'inner net' made of roots between the throat, nasal cavity and ear canal...... Even when exposed to lake water, it prevents the lake water from soaking into the body and effectively filters pathogens.

Eyes closed,

disguised coma,

In the back of his head, a mouth is quietly open, containing eyes, quietly peeking into the underwater situation.

According to the observations of the Green Lake.

【Upper Half of the Lake】:

floating, crowding a large number of dense, greenish parasite eggs and fish eggs,

【Lower half of the lake】

The tiny egg is gone, replaced by a terrible "human egg".

Those who successfully survive the first stage of ichthyosis are curled up between the eggs.

A strip of meat resembling an umbilical cord that connects to their navel at one end and the bottom of the lake at the other.

In this way, "fishing" is carried out.

When the body grows enough scales, the evolution of the internal organs is completed, and the perfect gill structure is formed, the eggs can be broken out and transformed into a mermaid.

Of course

Some of the fish-men that have already formed also swim here, examining human eggs and alerting intruders.

Slowly,

Under the traction of the brother and sister, they gradually approached the deepest part of the Green Lake.

The hair-chilling sense of peep came again, and it was evident that something was watching them in the deepest places.

"That's!"

After bypassing a human egg and a patrolling merfolk,

An unreasonable [Giant Eye] was discovered and embedded in the depths of the lake...... Oversized green eyes were constantly moving, monitoring everything at the bottom of the lake and in Green Lake Town.

"Huge green grapes!"

The little grape became extremely excited at this moment,

At this moment,

Yi Chen also understood the reason for the positive performance of the small grapes, perhaps it already knew it.

However, there is one thing that is puzzling,

"Why is the root of a giant eye? And not the maternity?'

Yi Chen's expectation,

The one that caused the spread of ichthyosis and the mermaidization of the town was supposed to be a mother parasite...... It is supposed to be a large, egg-laying bug-like monster.

The giant eye in front of me seems to have nothing to do with "laying eggs" and "parasites".

Just when Yi Chen was puzzled, Xiao Grape's voice came:

"What is illness? Where does the pathogenesis come from? These problems are basically unintelligible, and the diversity and variability that exist in them are even poorly understood.

Maybe there was never a parasitic mother,

The Giant Eye is nothing more than a Watcher.

It may have been instructed to come to the town with a 'swarm of parasites' to monitor and witness the town's transformation...... Some high-quality patients may be taken away in the future.

Its eyes are able to control the parasite's mind by gazing.

at all costs

This super grape is the source...... That's what we're aiming for.

Later, there is only one thing you need to do - [physical contact with this eyeball].

As soon as I touch the surface of the eyeball, I can transfer it directly to the inside and suck the grape juice."

Listening to the battle plan given by Xiao Grape, Yi Chen replied:

"You've known from the beginning that the lake has hidden this giant eye, haven't you, little grape?"

"It's not the beginning, but the feeling I felt when I gazed at the lake during my swim...... The same type~ There will naturally be some subtle induction.

Yi Chen didn't say much, but focused on what was in front of him.

After the brother and sister delivered the 'goods',

The innkeeper used the method of consciousness communication to convey the information of this shipment to the giant eye at the bottom of the lake.

When the communication is complete, immediately float up.

Any unwanted behavior may raise suspicions.

Yi Chen and the other 'goods' were suspended about four meters above the giant eye,

Currently located in deep water, such a distance is not easy to close, and you have to wait for an opportunity.

Immediately after,

Quite a strange picture came into view,

In the center of the pupil of the giant eye, a small circular hole was opened.

Ratchling Rattle ~ A meat strip creature similar to an eel comes out of it, referred to as a meat eel.

The mouth is rounded, with dense sharp teeth, and blood-colored threads swaying in the water.

"It's ...... Connecting the navel, something similar to an umbilical cord!'

The next second,

The meat eel was inserted into a 'cargo' beside Yi Chen,

The mouthparts are perfectly connected to the navel,

dragging the cargo to the empty space at the bottom of the lake,

take root

gestate

invert

In order

Another meat eel was born, connecting another cargo in front of Yi Chen.

watched the 'corpses' around me being dragged away and packed one by one...... This suffocating feeling of depression is like being pinched by a hand in the heart, forcing the heart rate to accelerate.

"Steady!"

Yi Chen suppressed his nervousness with all his strength, waiting for the best time to come.

Maybe it's because of good luck,

Perhaps this giant eye sensed Yi Chen's particularity,

Or maybe the innkeeper said something to Giant Eye,

Yi Chen happened to be the last one...... In the depths of the lake, only him and the Great Eye remained.

Quack~

Between the small orifices of the pupils, the last one is drilled, which is also the meat eel that matches Yi Chen.

wriggle

Floating

Drill film,

Call...... Yi Chen took a deep breath, still didn't move, still waiting for the time to come.

The meat eel sticks to the waist and abdomen, and crawls to the navel,

The threads of the oral cavity used for nerve connections scraped on Yi Chen's body, itching incomparably.

Wrap around to the front,

The muzzle of the meat eel blooms in the shape of petals, revealing the inner wall full of sharp teeth, and bites down towards the navel.

Just the moment the mouth is attached to the navel.

Yi Chen's eyes opened suddenly,

The silver axe, which had been prepared, was drawn from the closet...... Swish!

The strip-like flesh of the meat eel and the white egg membrane on Yi Chen's body were cut open together.

With the other hand, grab the upper body of the meat eel remaining in the abdomen and smack ~ crush it hard!

The next moment,

Yi Chen took advantage of the situation and raised his free arm

five-finger buckle surface,

Quack~

Fresh and tender plant roots are quickly weaved,

Perhaps due to dangerous irritation, the weaving speed is faster than before, and even bark structures appear on the surface of the roots.

In the blink of an eye,

A filtering mask has been worn on the face to further isolate the lake.

The above process is completed almost instantaneously,

While the giant eye has not fully reacted,

Yi Chen swam to the deepest part at full speed......

Four meters,

Three meters,

Two meters,

When there was only one meter left, a mutation occurred!

The giant eyes at the bottom of the lake were originally dilated pupils, but they were reduced and focused in an instant...... Transform into a [dot] the size of a ping-pong ball.

"Oops!"

Even if Yi Chen closed his eyes for the first time,

But

An invisible spiritual ripple has penetrated through,

Seeping through the mask and eyelids,

Through the pupils,

Along the ophthalmic nerves directly to the brain,

Airplanes!

Intense tinnitus sound,

It's like a naughty kid who stuffs a whole box of cannons into his head and slaps them all in one slap.

"William! Hold!

I can't expose the big grapes until I touch them!'

Then

The voice of the little grape sounded in the consciousness, giving encouragement and also giving consciousness support.

Under the penetration of spiritual power,

Yi Chen felt that the surface of his brain seemed to be full of tiny eyeballs.

As long as there is the slightest gap in consciousness, it will be penetrated by the eyeballs.

"Hold me on, this is a chance to be reborn that I finally get......

【Willpower】

The spiritual product of "life experience" as a hammer and polished into it.

Although Yi Chen is only in his twenties, his "life experience" in the first half of his life is like a giant hammer with spikes, beating him all the time.

finally escaped,

finally got the opportunity to travel through and come to such an interesting world,

He wanted to survive...... Live seriously once.

This moment!

Blood oozed from between the eye sockets, staining the plant masks red.

The screams turned into a large number of floating bubbles in the lake.

forcibly breaking through the interval of the last meter,

Sideways

Arm spreading,

touch,

The palm of the hand is firmly attached to the moist and smooth surface of the eyeball...... And it's also in the center, drilling out of the pores of the meat eel.

The moment of touch,

The black ball of meat was instantly separated from the palm of the hand,

Along the pores,

Get into the giant eye.

The moment of success,

Yi Chen could no longer support it, and his lax consciousness was instantly broken!

merely

The mental erosion from the giant eye did not destroy the brain,

Instead, Yi Chen's consciousness body was packaged and sent to a completely unknown realm.

Airplanes!

Tremor of consciousness,

Yi Chen's consciousness seemed to be sent to a deep place, as if it was a mysterious cave at the bottom of the abyss.

The hexagonal black fish scales spread all over the cave wall like wall tiles.

The ground is covered with a layer of clear water that can overflow the knees of ordinary people,

Flesh-colored pipes are connected to various experimental tanks,

The walls are suspended and inlaid with chambers of different sizes for nurturing life.

It's like an abyss lab.

The center of the laboratory,

An individual whose form transcends the concept is recording data,

Just with his back to Yi Chen's consciousness body,

He wore a near-perfect dark gold barrel-shaped robe with its own force field, revealing a tail covered in black scales.

Compared to fish tails, it is more inclined to dragon tails.

For some reason,

When Yi Chen looked at the back of this being,

♪ ♪ Knock ♪ knock

Unexpectedly, the consciousness sounded epic music full of layers,

The sound of the cello fading away, with the beating of the tide,

As if to inform the listener that such music comes from the depths of the sea, it is a sign that a terrifying presence is about to descend.

While the music plays,

A frame made of gold with a fish's head relief at the beginning, similar to the in-game health bar-shaped frame, appears on top of the opponent's head.

The frame is filled with a dark fish oil, or an ancient fish essence,

surging,

Tumbling,

Roaring

Titles and names are attached to the frame.
