"Okay meow."
After Xiu Ji finished speaking, her body suddenly expanded and turned into one...no, two tentacles.
One of them was more than three meters long, almost touching the ceiling of the cab, while the other was only half a meter long and as thick as a wrist. Although the size of the two tentacles is hugely different, their roots are indeed connected together and they are both part of Xiuji.
Sensing the movement here, everyone in the cab looked over curiously.
Xia Ye raised her head and said to Yaha: "The chief engineer has a minor health problem. My cat and I are trying to find a way to treat it. Don't disturb us."
Yaha understood, and as the order was issued, everyone stopped looking at Xia Ye and her "cat".
"Did you grow another tentacle?" Xia Ye asked Xiu Ji.
On the larger tentacles, a small cat head quickly appeared:
"Yes, meow. If this tentacle grows bigger, it can split off and act independently."
"Is this... your Shoggoth's method of reproduction?"
"You can also say that, Meow. But the boundary between the individual and the whole of our race is very blurry, not as clear as yours. Even if I split into two parts, I can always merge them together if necessary."
Although Xia Ye still has many questions to ask, now is obviously not the time to study this. She pointed at Xiu: "So, what are you going to do?"
Xiuji didn't answer. The larger tentacle lowered its "head", and with a soft "pop" sound, its tip inserted into the smaller tentacle.
After a while of squirming, the big tentacle pulled out of the small tentacle. The small tentacle immediately shrank limply and lay motionless on the ground. At the end of the big tentacle, there was an emerald green eyeball with a cross-shaped pupil.
"Feed this to her, maybe she can survive."
Xia Ye looked at those weird eyes and didn't ask what they were, but said, "What's the success rate?"
"This cat doesn't know meow either." The tentacle shook a few times, "After all, this is the first time this cat has given you this food. If her will is strong enough, she should be able to digest it and survive. ”
"What if it fails?"
"Her body will be consumed by this and she will become a new shoggoth."
"I see."
Xia Ye took the eye pupil from Xiuji's hand without hesitation. The smooth and cold touch came from the palm of her hand. The flesh and blood remaining on the eye pupil was even squirming slightly - this kind of thing, just by looking at it It just doesn't feel delicious.
However... good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease. Xia Ye thought to herself that if she was about to die, she would take it without hesitation.
"Pry open her mouth." She said to Xiuji.
The tentacle stretched out and opened the girl's small mouth into an "O" shape. Before Xia Ye closed her mouth again, she stuffed the eyeball in her hand into Xiu's mouth.
Then, she held Xiu's chin and closed his mouth. After a while, the girl's slender throat slowly began to squirm, but it was not that Xiu was swallowing, but that the pupils were crawling along the esophagus and into Xiu's stomach.
After a while, Xiu suddenly opened his eyes.
Her eyes were densely covered with bloodshot eyes, and a trace of emerald green was slowly spreading inside the black pupils. Her body suddenly twitched violently, and her limbs and neck were bent at unnatural angles. She opened her mouth wide and kept retching, as if she wanted to spit something out, but nothing came out except saliva.
Seeing the girl's appearance, Xiuji breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's working, meow."
As it spoke, it wrapped its tentacles around the girl's wrists and fixed them above its head.
"Hold her legs for me, don't let her move around and hurt herself."
Xia Ye quickly grabbed one of the black and white legs and held them firmly... She suddenly realized that her and Xiuji's current behavior was just like the kind of thing that only villains would do to beautiful girls. Same thing.
"Does effective mean she can be saved?"
"No, effective means that she at least reacts to that thing. Next, either Xiu will eat it, or it will eat Xiu. In short, only one of them can survive."
"That's a 50% chance?"
"More than 50%."
"Why?"
"Because this cat believes in her."
"..."
Hearing this line from a tentacle monster that could only be heard in hot-blooded comics, Xia Ye always felt an inexplicable sense of dissonance.
Not long after Xiuji said "believe", the girl's struggle suddenly became more intense. Although her hands and legs were under control, her body was like a fish that landed on the beach, constantly rising and falling, bumping. floor.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah——"
A sporadic, but extremely painful cry suddenly came from the girl's throat. After saying "ah" four times, she continued to open her mouth wide, but no more sounds came out, as if she was performing a mime. It was not until ten seconds later that the screams sounded again:
"Ah, ah, ah, ah——"
"Hey, hey, are you sure she's okay? I can't hold her down anymore!!" Xia Ye shouted to Xiuji.
"This cat believes..."
"Stop planting flags... Hey, why is her belly... bulging?!"
"This cat doesn't know either. Anyway, I believe..."
"No, no, no, this is definitely weird, isn't it?! Her legs are struggling so hard and with so much strength that I can't control them anymore, ah..."
Boom——
With the sound of a hard object hitting the floor, Xiu suddenly stopped struggling.
"Huh?!"
Xia Ye didn't bother to check Xiu, her eyes immediately fell on that thing.
The thing that hit the floor with a thud.
Now he was lying quietly between the girl's legs.
That's an egg.
An egg slightly larger than a goose egg, with a lot of translucent mucus remaining on the surface.
"When oneself is seriously injured, the probability of a witch laying eggs will significantly increase."
Xia Ye suddenly remembered Luka’s knowledge about her previous science.
So, this is a repair...witch egg? But why does it look weird?
Because, on the light yellow shell as smooth as jade, there are actually emerald green lines - exactly the same as those on Xiuji's body.
"Xiuji, you know what's going on..."
Before Xia Ye finished asking her question, she was interrupted by Xiuji's voice:
"Look at Xiu!"
She looked up and found nothing unusual at first glance. The girl was still lying on her back, completely unconscious.
But then, she realized something was wrong.
"Why does she look...a little flat?"
Xia Ye thought she was dazzled at first. She blinked subconsciously and looked at the girl again, only to find that she was right. Xiu's body was getting flatter!
"Look at what's underneath her!" Xiu Ji shouted.
There was a large puddle of liquid under the girl's body, which was almost transparent and slightly light yellow. Xia Ye didn't notice it at first, but when Xiu Ji mentioned it, she realized something was wrong.
If you want to describe it, Xiu now is like an ice cream, gradually melting into those liquids...
As soon as this idea appeared, it was immediately confirmed.
In front of Xia Ye's eyes, Xiu's melting speed suddenly accelerated. With a soft "pop" sound, the girl's body melted into the liquid beneath her at a speed visible to the naked eye. After just over ten seconds, there was nothing but that on the floor. The area of the beach became larger and larger in the light yellow liquid, leaving only empty sailor uniforms and stockings.
"..."
"..."
"Meow, can you fix her..."
died?
Xia Ye stared at the liquid on the floor, but always felt it shaking slightly. She took a few steps closer and searched back and forth with her eyes. A bubble so tiny that it was almost invisible caught her attention.
The liquid is indeed sloshing, and every time it sloshes, a bubble bubbles up to the surface.
"Gu, Gu, Gu, Gu..."
Xia Ye began to count silently.
Ten, nine, eight...two, one.
After 10 seconds, bubbles began to appear again.
"Gu, Gu, Gu, Gu..."
Xia Ye suddenly remembered the "compulsory life insurance" engraved on her stomach, which also achieved rebirth through laying eggs...
She looked up sharply.
"Xiuji, hurry up, gather these liquids together!"
"Meow? Why? And is Xiu already dead..."
"She's not dead! Hurry up and do what I say!"
After a while of fussing, Xiuji finally collected the semi-liquid liquid on the ground and transformed it into the shape of a bowl, allowing the egg white-like liquid to be placed in it.
Xia Ye picked up the egg from the ground, walked to Xiuji, and carefully soaked the egg in the liquid.
After a few seconds, the liquid begins to reduce and the egg begins to grow rapidly.
It absorbs those "egg whites".
Eventually, the witch egg with emerald green lines on its surface grew to nearly one meter tall.
Today, it has been repaired and placed on the floor.
"So, is Xiu inside?" Xiu Ji looked at Xiu Ji's eggs curiously.
"I think so." Xia Ye thought for a moment and then added, "Besides, maybe she will be hatched soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, a crack appeared on the smooth eggshell.
