In the damp and fishy laboratory,

An ancient being who needed to calculate his life cycle based on the "Old Time Calendar" suddenly felt a sense of peeping from behind him.

#嗯? Was anything interesting being delivered? #

Stop your whiskered fingers while you're writing.

Turn the head,

The gills on its neck are slightly open, and through the gill gaps, it is as if you can see a marine world filled with strange fish.

Just as He twisted a sick face that could not be analyzed with the naked eye, difficult to describe in words,

Burst~

In the experimental tank behind him, a fish's eye, as small as a grain of rice, exploded and shattered.

The sense of peeping is also gone.

however

There are thousands of tiny fisheyes like this in this tank.

He didn't take it seriously and continued to devote himself to the important work of data recording.

……

【Perspective Switch】

Listening to the epic music from the sea,

Peeking into the terrifying back of the concept far beyond comprehension,

Yi Chen lost control of his consciousness almost instantly, and he couldn't even move his vision...... Like the flesh of a fish, it is left to the slaughter.

In the field of view,

The unknown existence that was recording the data in front of him, seemed to be aware of his peeping,

Turn your head slowly

Such an ordinary behavior gave rise to an unprecedented sense of fear in Yi Chen's heart.

This oldest and most primitive emotion is like a pair of big hands, crushing the soul and may be completely torn apart at any time.

The process of turning your head is like a countdown to death.

Critical moments,

There was a familiar murmur of conjugation in consciousness,

"William, wake up!"

At the same time as the sound arrived, it was accompanied by a strong sense of traction,

Airplanes!

Yi Chen's consciousness broke free at this moment, pulling away from the abyss covered with fish scales and full of fishy smell. Shuttling through the slit of time and space, returning to the green lake.

When you reopen your eyes,

He has returned to the familiar flesh.

In the depths of the dim bottom of the lake,

The giant eye of the "watcher" has been completely drained, like an empty balloon, lying lifeless at the bottom of the lake.

The fully fed little grapes have returned, hidden under the flesh, in a more strange gestation state, leaving only a word.

"Next...... I need a long break, and don't call me unless I'm in danger of death. ”

End of voice,

The connection between consciousness is weakened to 1/10, and only the ball of flesh can be felt in the abdominal cavity, carrying out subtle gestation and growth.

however

The crisis in Green Lake has not been resolved.

Giant Eye is just a "watcher",

Its death only allowed the townsfolk to break free from their shackles and become freer...... The townspeople infected by ichthyosis are not less active at all, and may even become more crazy.

Also at the same time,

The merfolk wandering among the green lakes looked at the strange individual at the bottom of the lake, staring at the uninfected living person...... Instinct drove them to swim fast.

There are so many of them that there is no room to escape!

critical moments,

A white shadow crashed into the surface of the lake, so fast that no creature could see it.

White light swept over the fish.

The two powerful sharp claws buckled directly into the flesh between Yi Chen's shoulders and stuck into the bone crack~

Before I had time to feel the pain,

An unimaginable pull was heard, pulling him directly out of the bottom of the lake, and the merfolk who tried to stop him along the way were torn apart by some hidden wind blade, unable to stop.

Wow!

There was a lot of splashing on the surface of the lake,

Yi Chen was dragged out whole, flying close to the ground,

Eventually, he was thrown to the back door of the Green Shade Hotel.

Syllable! Hands on the wall, barely landing.

Yi Chen hurriedly looked up,

Only then did I see that it was a white-feathered owl that rescued me.

Before he could say thanks, the other party had already flown away.

Also at this moment,

The boss opened the back door and dragged Yi Chen into the hotel.

The dim pupils on the boss's face became clear at this moment.

"You...... Really do it! Catesy, hurry up and take Mr. William to the basement to recuperate. ”

"Got it!"

The younger sister in a white dress and a thin figure easily carried Yi Chen on her shoulders,

Follow the secret passage to the basement,

My sister brought some dry towels and carefully wiped Yi Chen's body.

Surprisingly,

Soaking in the lake for so long,

The clothes on the body are not soaked, just wipe off the remaining water stains on the surface and look new.

The only thing to watch out for is the shoulder that has been pierced by the owl, and a little water has flowed into the wound......

Kardash wiped it with a towel first,

Suddenly put on cold lips,

Suck hard~

All the blood and the water mixed in with it are sucked out, and the infection is stopped.

"In this case, it should be no problem~ I'll go up and get some delicious food, you wait here."

My sister leaves,

Yi Chen sat alone on a chair in the basement.

Although this adventure at the bottom of the lake did not bring substantial harm,

But the mental state of the whole person is not very good,

haunting tinnitus,

slightly swollen cranial cavity,

and the abyss laboratory that flashes through the brain from time to time,

Unconsciously,

A wisp of nosebleed actually flowed out, accompanied by a strong feeling of dizziness, which almost made Yi Chen fall off the chair.

"Are there any after-effects of mental invasion?

I didn't even open my eyes, but I still got hit...... The follow-up also relied entirely on the little grape to finally kill the [Giant Eye of the Monitor].

And such a giant eye that spreads ichthyosis and dominates Green Lake Town is just a small product in the laboratory.

I'm too weak now,

There should be a way to grow and become stronger in this world, and there may be such a way in the organization. ”

After life and death at the bottom of the lake,

Yi Chen was not frightened by this,

On the contrary, it stimulates his desire to explore the world, and he desperately wants to make himself stronger, so as to explore more things.

Then

Catady arrives in the basement with a bowl of fish soup.

Thick,

effervescence

black

All kinds of fish heads that seem to have been irradiated are crowded between the soup bowls,

It smelled like a stinky fish drowning in a footbath, and no one noticed it for a week.

"This is specially prepared by my brother, saying that if you can come back alive, this fish head soup will provide great help."

"Good...... Good. ”

took the big bowl of fish soup that looked like a few servings,

tentatively touch the surface of the viscous soup with your fingers,

When it is confirmed that there is no rejection of the plant in the body,

Pinch your nose with one hand,

Holding the soup bowl in one hand and pouring it into his mouth,

As the stomach turned over for a while, the tinnitus that had been lingering slowly subsided, and the swelling in the cranial cavity gradually subsided.

"Good stuff!"

Just when Yi Chen sighed at the magic of this exotic food,

The majestic and loud voice came from above, penetrated the building compartment of the hotel, and clearly reached Yi Chen's ears...... The whole town could hear it.

"Attention all examiners.

Please hurry to the east exit of the town as fast as possible, where the organized carriage will be waiting for you for a time limit of [ten minutes].

If the time exceeds the time, it will be regarded as a failure of the assessment. ”

"Is the assessment over early?"

Yi Chen, who heard the news, immediately came to his senses,

Back to the hotel.

The Green Shade Inn is located at the exit on the south side of the town, far from the east exit of the meeting...... There is a great risk in navigating a town that is completely out of control and in turmoil.

Not to mention, the small grapes are in a special condition that makes it difficult to provide visual assistance.

"Mr. William, the east exit you want to go to either needs to go through the city center or around the lake.

It's a dangerous road, so we'll send you there. ”

"Wouldn't it be too dangerous? If there is an organization at the east exit, they may attack you. ”

"As long as it's not too close, it should be fine."

Yi Chen did not refuse, he really needed the assistance of his brother and sister.

Using similar means,

Disguised as a 'corpse', he lay flat on a wooden cart and was pushed by his brother and sister to the east entrance.

Because there are dangerous patients in the center of the town who are completely molten, they choose to walk around the lake...... There was no obstacle in the whole process, and no townsfolk would suspect such a high-level existence as the brother and sister.

When they could barely see the outline of the carriage, the siblings stopped.

On the eve of separation,

Considering that we are about to embark on the road of 'curing the disease',

If we say goodbye in the future, our position may be completely different.

Just silently gave a hug and didn't say anything like 'goodbye'.

But

When hugging the boss, the other party gently patted Yi Chen's back and whispered in his ear:

"Hurry up and get out of here~ Mr. William...... You're the strangest human I've ever seen, even different from the others, and maybe you really have a chance to heal this hopeless world.

If there is a chance to [goodbye],

Please don't hesitate to kill us. ”

Yi Chen didn't reply,

Just stared at the boss for a second, and immediately turned around and ran towards the meeting point.
