"Don't rush, don't rush."

After killing a few human pockets, Kamiya stopped and retracted his sword.

What is now certain is that these ugly-looking mobs really have no decent means of attack other than swallowing miasma and squirting vomit in response.

They're stuck in the floor of flesh, like a meat coral, and they're basically at the mercy of man.

But these things, if you don't fight them, they will spew miasma and vomit to disgust you.

If you blow them up, it will be even more disgusting, with a dead word effect, and it will explode a large number of thick germs like a gas bomb.

Because Kamiyagawa had just killed a few human skin pockets, the concentration of miasma in the entire corridor was now a bit too high. And Kamiya's own [Plague Tiger Dra] state also seems to have worsened.

Generally speaking, even if the human body is infected with germs, it will take a while to react, and it will not become sick so quickly.

But the [epidemic] in the strange world may really be different from reality, and as the concentration of miasma in the corridor increases, Kamiyagawa clearly senses that something is starting to be wrong with his body.

The early clinical manifestations of cholera should be vomiting and diarrhea until dehydration.

However, it may be that the physique of the dead paper man is different, and Kamiyagawa does not feel vomiting at the moment, but simply feels dizzy and weak, and his body is weak.

"If I cut a few more human skin pockets, I guess I'll have to explain here first. Anyway, these things are not very good at attacking, so just ignore them and go directly to the iron gate that the little old man said to see the situation. ”

Kamiyagawa changed his mind, no longer consuming time and pestering the human skin pockets, but simply dodging the vomit sprayed by these monsters along the way, and moving forward quickly.

Not to mention, parkour is faster than farming.

It didn't take long for Kamiyagawa to drag his body, which was beginning to worsen, to the middle of this cholera corridor.

As he walked here, he heard extremely heavy gasps.

"Whew-"

"Hah-"

It sounded like a huge old engine roaring.

Kamiyagawa was vigilant, grasped Nanquan Yiwen and continued to walk forward, and without taking a few steps, through the thick miasma, he saw a huge figure blocking the corridor in front of him.

The thing in front of him was also a monster with limbs shrunk into his chest, and his body was loose, like a monster with bloated leather bags.

However, in terms of size, it is much larger than the "human skin pockets" you see along the way.

Not counting the limbs, it is more than three meters tall.

It's like a giant sarcoma, huddled at the entrance of the passage in front of it, and many parts of its body can be seen, and even completely grown with the wriggling flesh in the scene.

"Whew-"

"Hah-"

The head of this adult's leather pocket was moved down to the position of his chest, hanging listlessly, and his big mouth without teeth and lips was closed one by one, and every time he breathed hard, he would swallow out an extremely thick miasma of germs.

Buzzing.

Kamiyagawa's phone vibrates.

[Encounter with strange tales, Tigerra Flesh Man (Alien Body).] ]

[The Atlas has been updated.] ]

[Strange Tale Name: Tiger Rala Flesh Man (Alien)]

[Rating: Grade E]

[Status: Strange Tales World]

[Visitation Progress: 14%]

(Once the progress reaches 100%, the Strange Tale can travel freely between the real world and the strange tale world according to its own wishes.) ）

Meat man, also called sarcoma monster.

It is a traditional tale that is not very famous among Japanese folklore.

The usual image is a lump of flesh without eyes or a nose, like clay crumpled into a ball, with only a rough human form.

Legend has it that the Meat Men haunt Kyoto, and usually wander back to the city or abandoned temples at the end of the year.

If someone stays overnight in the uninhabited temple where it appears, in the middle of the night, the flesh man will drag his flesh-like body and appear in front of the person.

There is also a theory that meat people usually smell of corpses, and their whole body is the color of their skin, and if they are eaten, they can live forever.

From this point of view, the meat people are somewhat similar to the "Meat Tai Sui" in Chinese folk tales.

However, the meat people that Kamiyagawa encountered on the first floor of the Cikyu General Hospital were themselves alienated beings who mutated in the direction of the epidemic, and if they ate these things, let alone immortality, they would be regarded as smoking from the ancestral tomb if they survived.

"So these things are meat people? But the first one is a little too big. ”

Kamiyagawa stood not far from the giant cholera meat man and watched for a while, confirming that the big one was similar to the small ones along the way, and that there was no very effective means of attack.

He put up a piece of writing and prepared for battle.

When the little old man was exploring this area before, he encountered this huge sarcoma monster, and he could also pass through the small gap on the side by virtue of his very small size.

But Kamiyagawa can't, he has to kill the huge meat man who gets in his way before he can continue to make his way to the back of the cholera corridor.

"I can't even think about it now."

The Giant Cholera Sarcoma Monster is rated E.

And although Kamiyagawa attacks high paper defense, the current level is still very stable for an E-level elite monster.

What's more, the meat man in front of him can't move yet, stuck in the passage like a live target.

A word hummed out.

Kamiyagawa's movements are as swift as a leopard.

At the same time as slashing out the Notai knife, he also skillfully threw a [Thunder Intertwined Coin] towards the meat man's big mouth.

Bang!

The water dirty yin thunder contains unimaginable terrifying power, purple lightning and white rays rushing, bursting and roaring. At the same time as the thunder light burst out from the flesh man's body, it was followed by the indigo blue sword light of Nanquan Yizi!

This is enough to divide the mystery of the morning and dusk, and it is a slash!

Kamiyagawa even brought a knife and pierced directly through the soft abdominal cavity of the meat man.

In an instant, fluid malignant heart tissue and pus and blood flowed everywhere.

The cholera meat man was just a face, and he was torn apart by the lightning blast and the sharp blade of the word!

Buzzing.

[Tiger Libera Flesh Man (Alien) has died, and obtained 128 soul crystals!] ]

Strange talk of retreat.

"Sure enough, I'm still strong."

Kamiyagawa turned his back to the slain monster and raised his hand to wipe the blade of a text.

He slashed with one blow, and the combat posture of killing the E-class monster was indeed very beautiful, but it would be a little embarrassing to deal with the death of the flesh man next.

Cholera meat people are monsters that really don't have much output when they're alive, but when they're dead, they can do a lot of damage.

The situation when the little meat men who had just entered the corridor were killed, Kamiyagawa saw it with his own eyes.

And the power of this large meat man after it was killed and exploded was even more terrifying, the specific effect was comparable to a whale explosion, and a huge miasma of germs burst out from its scattered corpses, gathering together like a yellow-green wave, sweeping towards both ends.

Kamiyagawa hadn't been handsome for three seconds, and when he saw such a situation, he could only drag a word and flee in a hurry.

However, in the process of escaping, he also took the time to bend down and pick up a material.

At the moment when he killed the cholera meat man, the Zashiki boy who was watching the battle had a rattle bell in time to hang his luck on his old father.

This kill didn't break out the brainchild of strange talk, but it did burst out a green plant seed that looked very bad.

This prop is the source of the disease.

When I raided the dog Mingtong before, I picked up two in the nest at the bottom of the well of the white dog god.

However, they were later consumed in the process of retiring from the Chief.

Now it's another addition to this material.

……

After running for a while in the aggressive miasma, Kamiyagawa felt more and more weak and dizzy.

I'm afraid that this paper man who has been hung up with [Epidemic Tiger Liela] will not be able to carry it, and it will not be long before it will have to be sent.

However, Kamiyagawa was still relatively tough, and he managed to reach the end of this corridor and saw the rusty iron door that the little old man had said before, which seemed to lead to the underground.

It is a heavy iron gate with a handle.

The door does not open on the wall, but on the floor, like a passage entrance to the cellar. Although the iron door was shallowly covered by wriggling flesh, it still looked conspicuous.

Because he was in a state of illness, and his condition was already quite serious, Kamiyagawa's wheezing was heavy and laborious.

But he still held on to draw the knife, followed the crack of the door, and quickly cut the flesh film on the surface of the iron door with a word.

The wriggling flesh was broken, and the pus was overflowing, and Kamiyagawa didn't care whether he was disgusted or not, and reached out and pulled up the handle of the iron door.

Squeak –

I don't know how long it has been since the iron door of the cellar was slowly opened, emitting a rusty and harsh grinding sound.

Behind the iron gate, a dark staircase emerges, winding its way down to the bottomless depths.

A smell of stale dust came to my face.

"It doesn't look like there's a lot of air circulation down here."

Kamiyagawa glanced down the cellar and let go of his grip on the doorknob.

Standing above the cellar and waiting for a few minutes, he whispered, "Zashiki, is there a problem down there?" You know what kind of problem I'm talking about. ”

After a few moments, the golden ball bell shook slightly.

Well, I only shook it after asking, and that's no problem.

Since absorbing the remains of another stillborn boy, and the kimono on his body gave birth to small white flowers, he has developed a special functional intuition to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Like the last time I took the ape dream train in the park, it was Shikiho who clearly sensed the danger, and the rattle reminded Kamiya not to put himself in danger.

The situation was just as Zashiki perceived.

Ape Dream's "Dream Killing" can directly cross the obstacles of the two worlds and chase down to reality.

If Kamiyagawa hadn't chosen to let the Kabuki puppet Mad Death Lang take the train and play himself, there would definitely be big problems in the future.

After that incident, Kamiyagawa made a pact with his little padded jacket.

In the future, when encountering that dangerous unknown scene, not ringing the bell, or only shaking it lightly, it shows that there is no perceived "substantial danger"; Shake it twice to indicate a bit of danger; After three shakes, it means that it is very dangerous.

Of course, as an immortal, Kamiyagawa is an immortal, and for him, the so-called danger refers to the kind of power that can transcend the world of the outside and affect reality.

If you can simply kill the paper figure in the strange world, it belongs to the "safety category".

In fact, Kamiyagawa has been in the strange world for so long, and there are very few strange stories that can directly affect his real body by using special abilities in the world.

There are only two of them: Hanako in the Flower Bell School and Ape Dream in Fantasyland.

"Come on, let's see what's down there."

After carefully estimating the situation in the cellar, Kamiyagawa turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone, and with the help of the light, he walked down the stairs and into the bottomless darkness.

……

Smack.

Smack.

Because of his weak and weak body, Kamiyagawa walked down the steps very carefully.

The steps on the ground are hard and solid.

With each step, there is a sound of solid footsteps.

Inside the cellar, the three floors above the hospital were different, not covered in wriggling flesh.

Also, the air inside is very dry, and there is no smell other than the old smell of dust.

"I didn't expect that the underground area is not as hellish as the above."

Walking down the swirling steps, about two or three stories down, Kamiya's view became a little wider.

At the end of the stairs is a deep underground passage made of red bricks.

"Does this look like a bunker? What is the area below the Seekey Hospital for? ”

Kamiyagawa held his phone in his hand and glanced around, slightly confused.

He began to walk along the underpass.

Along the way, you can see a number of facilities similar to chimney pipes, with moving air blowing out from under the chimneys.

Those could be the vents in this underground area.

"No wonder there is no noticeable breathlessness felt underneath." Kamiyagawa's gaze lingered briefly on the "chimneys" before continuing to move forward.

After some further distance, he saw some rusty iron carts.

On the side of the cart, there are some human bones with obvious burn marks, most of which have been carbonized.

In addition to this, there are devices similar to incinerators.

"Carts, corpses, incinerators...... Although there are no strange encounters, this place does not feel good to me. Kamiyagawa frowned.

Keep walking.

The view has become a little wider again, and the tunnel seems to have been significantly widened at the back end.

Kamiya was here, and saw several red brick and stone "rooms" inlaid with iron doors.

Push open a small iron door and enter.

In the room, there are a few simple operating tables, as well as some medical instruments and tools that look very old and backward.

Kamiyagawa scanned the room with his phone in hand, and finally found a photograph and a few dusty cobwebbed notes on a rotten wooden table and drawer in the corner.

The black-and-white photo is a half-length photo of a middle-aged man.

The man in the photo is dressed in a serious suit, a top hat, two large beards, and a walking stick in his hand.

"It looks like it's been a few years." Kamiyagawa put the photo back down.

Generally speaking, this kind of imitation of Western capitalists by the Japanese was popular in the late 19th century.

That is, the Meiji Restoration.

Under the impact of the West's strong ships and artillery, Japan opened its door widely, began to fully accept and learn Westernized ideas and concepts, and ran into a capitalist society.

The upper echelons of society also fully imitate the Western elite in terms of dress.

"I don't know if the information found in this underground area will have something to do with the boss who hasn't met yet...... Hopefully there will be. ”

Kamiyagawa opened one of the notebooks he had just found.

The flashlight shone brightly, and the first line of the first page of the book read: "From 1877 to the present, the germ Tigerla has spread." In the Tokyo area alone, 40,000 people died from the epidemic......"

Between 1877 and 1879.

Great cholera in Japan.

During the two-year epidemic, more than 100,000 people died of cholera bacteria in Japan. It was a very serious public health disaster, causing great human and economic losses to Japan, which had just begun to capitalize.

"Great Cholera during the Meiji Government......"

Kamiyagawa didn't know much about this period of Japanese history, but after a cursory look at his notes, he formed a preliminary impression in his mind.

"It was more than 140 years ago. In other words, this underground building in the world of strange talk is a kind of reproduction of the situation in the emergency hospital of that period. ”

"Epidemic...... Tigerra...... Plague God...... Uh, it seems that the plague god was born in the context of that great cholera? ”
