Gudu, Gudu.
The black object in the center of the deep pool was still rising and falling on the surface.
Is that thing alive?
Is it related to the Leech Man in Matsuzawa?
Send the wolf to crawl down and continue to observe from above.
A large number of water bubbles began to float around the black object, breaking out of the water and melting into the air. The fishy smell of the water below became even stronger.
Then, with the original black object as the center, more squirming black blocks floated up from the bottom of the pool. Each piece was connected to a black line, leading straight to the bottom of the deep pool.
Those things that looked like pieces of meat twisted and expanded in the water, slowly deforming into human shapes. The scene in the pool looked like black, deformed babies, connected by umbilical cords, floating up and down in the amniotic fluid of the uterus.
This scene is really too weird.
"Ho ho..."
Sendlang heard those black pieces of meat begin to make sounds.
The humanoid features on them are becoming more and more obvious, and each of them is slightly different in appearance, like humans with different heights, shortness, fatness and thinness.
No, it shouldn't be considered human yet.
Because the skin of those things is blue-gray, and there are circles of ring-like textures on the exposed skin. The facial features on the face are also in a distorted state, with no eyes visible, only two small holes left for the nose, and the mouth is a disgusting flesh sucker.
It's the leech man.
However, it is now daytime after sunrise, and the leech men in the deep pool did not maintain their monster form for too long. The blue-gray color on their skin slowly faded away, turning into normal human skin color, and the facial features on their faces gradually became distorted. subside.
Wow.
The water in the pool rolled, and all the leech men transformed into normal human forms, and the black umbilical cords connected to their navels automatically fell off.
They scrambled to the broken shore.
These newly born people look completely unconscious, their eyes are extremely empty, but they all have weird smiles on their faces, like lifeless puppets.
The early sun turned the sky gray and yellow, and the dim light of the morning light fell on the intersecting cracks in the earth, and also fell on the unconscious Songze people.
They were naked, twisting and crawling out of the water onto the broken shore. Their normal, healthy skin was wet and reflecting the faint light.
The new life and the rising sun complement each other. It should be a scene full of hope, but the scene here in the pool only makes people shudder.
Seven or eight Matsuzawa people began to walk through the broken land, moving numbly in one direction.
Probably going back to Songze Village.
"Furfur..."
Sanglang, who was sitting high up, tried his best to lower his body. He had learned a piece of information from Lu Yewu——
After the Songze people are "killed", they will change into a new body and then return to Songze Village.
Now it kind of understands what is going on here.
Those so-called "new bodies" were all born in this pool.
Sanglang, who was observing the situation from a high place, couldn't make up his mind and didn't know what to do now.
According to Kanoya Yukino, and the new information obtained tonight, there is a terrifying god in Matsuzawa Village, and there is also a special human being connected with the god, which seems to be called Leech and Eight Hundred Bhikshunis?
These two are existences that must be left to Master Kanoya to deal with.
And the pool in front of me might be related to leeches or eight hundred bhikkhunis.
Taking rash actions here might trigger some unmanageable terrorist incident, so after thinking about it for a while, Sendang Lang decided to stay put.
It's a pity that Lu Yewu has gone back to Songze Village now. It would be great if he could find this waterhole earlier and let Lu Yewu know the situation here.
The wolf crawled, stared at the situation in the direction of the pool, and began to slowly move its limbs back.
At this time, it suddenly saw the black object in the center of the water floating up and down violently, causing the dark pool water to rise and fall. Densely packed bubbles emerged from the bottom of the water, and between those spherical bubbles was a petite human figure.
It seemed to be a drowned corpse. It had been soaked in the water for an unknown period of time and was beyond recognition.
But there was no smell of rotting corpses, only a strong smell of water.
After the corpse appeared, the black piece of flesh in the center of the pool finally began to squirm and deform, as if it was extending deformed limbs, turning into a blue-gray leech man, and then the monster's characteristics slowly faded and transformed into a normal person.
Sanglang could see clearly that the black piece of flesh finally turned into a little girl with fair skin and pigtails.
Haruna?
Sendlang suddenly thought of this name.
It still comes from the information shared by Kanoya Yukino.
The exorcist girl, while acting together with the sending wolf, talked endlessly about everything she had seen and heard in Matsuzawa.
So Sanglang knew that there was another human in Matsuzawa Village who had not been assimilated, Kumiko Sugiura.
He seems to be a liar with evil intentions.
That person once told Kanoya that she was looking for her daughter Sugiura Hina.
So, the body in the pool that was difficult to identify and could only barely be seen to be that of a child belonged to Hina?
She drowned here a long time ago?
If she drowned, then Hina must have choked on Matsuzawa's water before she was alive, and met the conditions for assimilation.
I just don’t know why, but Hina’s “reborn body” hasn’t appeared in Matsuzawa Village for a long time.
Moreover, Hina's current body was transformed from the black piece of flesh in the center of the pool. Maybe, that little girl is a little special?
Sendlang tried to analyze the situation in front of him, but in the deep pool below, the new-born Hina had dragged his old body slowly to the shore.
The girl slowly took off her clothes from the body and put them on one by one.
Her expression is much more vivid than other Matsuzawa people.
"Furafur."
Send Wolf carefully wrinkled his nose and continued to retreat as lightly as possible on the high cliff.
Just as it was about to leave the cliff, the girl below who looked like Hina suddenly raised her head and looked straight at where it was.
Sanglang's eyes dilated, facing the girl's face, which was full of childlike innocence and an extremely bright and dazzling smile.
"Fur!"
A curved golden knife formed from Sanglang's mouth, and he flicked it back hard.
The scimitar with flowing golden light tore through the air, making a clanging sound, and was nailed to the trunk of a pine tree in the distance with a thud.
The petite white beast figure disappeared from the place and appeared directly at the pine tree.
The scimitar on the tree trunk buzzed and disappeared, sending the wolf spreading its limbs and running hard in the forest.
There was something wrong with the little girl who looked like Hina.
Just by looking at her, the wolf felt like all his white hairs were standing on his head.
Hina appears, feeling like something bad is about to happen.
We have to go find Kanoya and let her know what's going on here!
However, Kanoya should have returned to Matsuzawa Village by now...
If Sending Wolf appeared in that village, it would definitely cause a commotion in advance and affect the planned actions in the afternoon.
But now there seems to be no other way.
Sanglang didn't care about rest now and planned to lurk around Songze Village. There would be risks in doing so, but if any changes occurred in the village in advance, it would be able to support Kanoya as soon as possible.
It had no choice but to completely believe in Lu Yewu and believe that the master he said could really save them.
So no matter what happens, we must ensure that Kanoya's afternoon operations can be carried out.
We have to ensure that she survives.
But in the deep pool, Yang Nai did not chase after the wolf, but just stared at the cliff high up.
The vivid expression on her face suddenly disappeared, becoming as numb and hollow as the Matsuzawa before.
Hina followed her companions walking in front, and slowly left in the cool morning light, bathing in the morning light that filtered through the gaps between the branches and leaves...
…
Songze Village.
Luyewu and the little old man No. 3 sneaked back to the village safely before dawn.
She tidied briefly at home and felt her stomach growling.
In the past three days, the deer had eaten too little.
"But the decisive battle is in the afternoon, and I have to hold on a little longer."
Kanoya drank some water and lay down on the spread mattress.
She tried hard to control herself and meditate according to Buddhist mental methods. Her fatigue overcame her hunger and she fell asleep quickly.
When I woke up again, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning.
The fawn only slept for more than four hours.
However, it may be because the crucial decisive battle took place in the afternoon, and in the first half of the night during the operation last night, she also had a short nap, so her current mental state is actually pretty good.
After leaving this hellish place and returning to Master and Master Bachi, there will be plenty of time to sleep.
But although my spirit was barely good, my physical weakness was still very obvious due to hunger.
“It feels like it’s really reached its limit.”
Lu Yewu got up from the bed and heard some noise outside again.
She was somewhat used to this.
After staying in Matsuzawa for three nights, Kanoya would go out to hunt Matsuzawa hunters late every night.
And in the morning, the "dead" people will return to the village in new bodies, naked and stained with water.
So every morning, there will be commotion in Songze Village.
Luyewu tidied himself up briefly, then opened the door and went out, following the cheerful Matsuzawa people outside to the entrance of the village as usual.
A large crowd has gathered here.
Those who came back were the Matsuzawa hunters who were attacked by Luyewu and Sanglang last night. These people had put on clothes, but their bodies were still wet.
Among those who came back this morning, there was another one who was very special.
It was a seven or eight-year-old girl with braids, standing with the hunters, smiling sweetly at the villagers.
"Hina is back, haha."
"Really, where did you go? Your mother is very worried about you."
"..."
The people in the village seemed to be familiar with the girl, and they smiled and said something to her.
Everyone is also talking about the monster attacking people again.
But everyone was smiling happily all the time, and there was no sense of any tension or depression.
Kanoya stood in the crowd and looked Hina up and down: "Is this Sugiura Kumiko's daughter? But looking at her, she seems to have become a Matsuzawa person."
Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a hysterical scream.
Sugiura Kumiko shouted, almost madly rushing into the center of the crowd.
"Hina, Hina you..."
Sugiura held his daughter's young face with both hands, his voice and body trembling.
But her daughter didn't give her any strong response, she just smiled hollowly and brilliantly.
"Mother."
Hina's voice was delicate and soft.
"You...you...it's your mother's fault, it's your mother's fault..."
Sugiura couldn't speak complete words, he just cried loudly and hoarsely.
She knew that her daughter had become a Matsuzawa person, a monster that she avoided and hated from the bottom of her heart.
In fact, Sugiura is an extremely smart woman.
Hina has been out of touch for so long, would she not have thought of what might have happened?
She just didn't want to face the current results.
And even if the hope is slim, even if there is only a slight possibility, she still wants to survive in this strange place with her daughter as a normal person.
His daughter was almost Sugiura's only psychological support after entering Matsuzawa.
When this pillar collapsed, Sugiura Kumiko felt nothing left in her heart.
She just cried, bursting into tears.
But her daughter, as well as all the Matsuzawa people around her, just looked at her and smiled happily.
The laughter of the crowd overlapped with the only cry, which was strange and suffocating.
Kanoya stood in the crowd, not knowing what expression to make.
Matsuzawa only said congratulations to Sugiura for finding his daughter, and discussed the monsters and nasty wolves in the forest for a while, and then left happily.
Only the Sugiura mother and daughter were left at the entrance of the village, and the silent Kanoya.
I don’t know how long it took, but Kumiko Sugiura finally stopped crying and slowly stood up from the ground.
Her eyes were red, swollen and bloodshot, but there was no trace of sadness or joy in her expression. It seemed that she was finally no longer sad. Only a faint emotion that Kanoya couldn't understand clearly remained.
Sugiura held his daughter's hand and turned back towards the village.
When he passed by Lu Yewu, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
She opened her mouth and spoke with some effort. Her voice was hoarse like an old, dying old woman: "Sorry, don't drink Matsuzawa's water."
"Well……"
Xiaolu didn't reply and didn't know what to say.
Then, Sugiura groped around on his body, took out a key and handed it to Kanoya: "Under the floor of my room."
Lu Yewu hesitated for two seconds, took the key, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Sugiura didn't reply, but held his daughter's hand and continued walking forward.
The happy and lively Haruna was jumping around her mother.
Kanoya watched the mother and daughter go away, watching their figures become smaller and smaller in his field of vision.
Today in Matsuzawa, it is rare to be sunny.
The weather turned out to be very good, with plenty of sunshine and dust flying under the sun.
Songze Village, which occupies a huge area, seems to have become lazy, more harmonious and happy in this bright sunshine. The village was like a dozing giant beast, resting its head heavily on Sugiura's shoulder who was getting further away, unconsciously licking her body with his tongue, saliva slowly flowing down her floral skirt.
The unimaginable huge weight crushed Sugiura's originally upright body into a rickety state.
"Matsuzawa is going to accept Sugiura, or in other words, Sugiura is going to accept Matsuzawa."
Lu Yewu suddenly thought like this.
She saw that the direction Sugiura was taking her daughter to was where the village's public cafeteria was.
