When does a person seem helpless?
In a deep and cold sea, you seem to be isolated from the world. You are as small as dust. There is no sound around you, only the silence of death.
At this time, in the gray fog, you stared at an indescribably huge monster. The sea fog obscured it, revealing only the tip of the iceberg of the giant beast's body.
Now, this weird monster's exposed body is covered with countless double pupils, all staring at you.
It's like staring into an abyss and the abyss stares back.
When Lin Ye saw this monster for the first time, his brain went into a shutdown state and he lost all his ability to think. The scenes of his daily life and the scenes of fighting with enemies were fragmented in the depths of his mind.
The monster's countless eyes stared at the tiny human in front of it, and its sea snake-like tentacles slowly stretched out, like a giant net, wrapping the forest in all directions.
Lin Ye's face turned pale, and the light in his black eyes gradually dissipated.
In reality, Lin Ye fainted on the ground, and next to him was the debt handler. The contaminated liquid that originally flowed on the latter's body gradually flowed to the ground, and then moved in the direction of Lin Ye.
The eyeball was surrounded by thick liquid.
Gulu jumped out of the possessed state and signed a contract with Lin Ye. She could touch Lin Ye's body in the real world. Gulu dragged Lin Ye back. In the girl's eyes, he saw a pale phantom floating above the contaminated liquid. Gulu couldn't see the specific appearance.
Just like a cat, Gulu put on a fierce expression and glared at the phantom.
Lin Ye was the younger brother she had protected for more than ten years. She had promised Xiao Jin that Gulu would beat anyone who dared to bully him!
The pale phantom is the silent and invisible owner of the Cherno Factory, the culprit who killed Li Si and others, and is also the pet and research subject kept by the crazy Slicer who accompanies him from time to time.
Perhaps Gulu's threat had an effect. The pale phantom's "eyes" bypassed the forest and changed to another direction, which was the direction of the sea, and the pollution liquid also slowly flowed.
Gulu breathed a sigh of relief, bent down to help Lin Ye and ran away, muttering and complaining that Lin Yejing did some dangerous things. He was obviously timid and obedient before.
…………
The densely packed tentacles of the "whale" formed a cage, covering the sunlight projected by the "sun" into the deep sea. Each tentacle opened its mouth, closed the cage, and squeezed the bones and marrow of the humans trapped inside.
Lin Ye didn't react at all. He did not have the mental power and strength of a demon god. In this foreign sea, the will of a mortal body could not withstand the pollution of the "demonic resentment" here.
After a while, all the tentacles tightened and swallowed the young man completely, leaving not a trace of blood foam.
Even though it wasn't even a tooth sacrifice, "Whale"'s largest eyes still showed joyful emotions.
Slowly spreading out and extending its tentacles, the "whale" moved its huge head in the boundless alien dark sea, setting off a wave of deep sea waves.
The cage disappeared, and the countless double pupils on the side also stared at the original boy's true appearance.
"Is that eyeball yours?"
"The fools really got something amazing."
"There is no teleportation anchor point here, how could it teleport me to the deep sea." The young man laughed.
"So, all this is just an illusion."
The countless double eyes of the "whale" stared closely at the young man. Different from the indifference originally coming from the superior, now they showed shock and fear.
What on earth is this thing?
Even the maintainers of heavenly principles cannot understand something. How can a mere imitation of the "demonic god" from the outer sea that is parasitic in a "tiny organ" be able to see its true face?
All I know is that this thing is very flashy?
Lin Ye stretched out his "hand" and grabbed the tentacles in front of him...
…………
After walking a few steps, Gulu, who was holding up one of Lin Ye's arms, suddenly noticed that Lin Ye seemed to be moving on his own, with a look of joy on his face. Then she was stunned to see Lin Ye get rid of her, turn around and walk away minding his own business.
Gulu puffed up his cheeks, is that so impolite? You can’t even say thank you, you stinky brother!
She turned around and was about to kick her foot into the forest, but found that the forest was walking in the direction of the pale phantom.
Don't want to die?
Intuition told Gulu that this thing was dangerous.
Gulu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but it was too late. The liquid moved very slowly. Lin Ye grabbed the pale phantom's neck-like part with one hand and twisted it directly.
The pale phantom let out a silent wail, and the eyeballs covered in thick liquid were crushed by Lin Ye's kick. The black blood juice mixed with the thick liquid, and part of it seeped into the ground. Gulu felt disgusted when he saw it.
Before Gulu could say anything, Lin Ye fell straight down again, his eyes always closed.
…………
When Lin Ye lost his body and his soul remained alone, and Lin Ye no longer relied on his brain to think, he "woke up" and the system also made a sound.
"Limited time mission: [Destroy the devouring of the remaining resentment of the demon god Mutubad]"
"The demon god Mtubbad has died. He died at the junction of the Dark Sea and the Teyvat continent. His corpse was devoured by the winner. An executive officer of the Fools accidentally discovered the remains of his drifting corpse and conducted evil research to prepare for it. This requires a lot of sacrifice.”
"The eyes of the demon god Mtubbad have the power to make people fall into illusions, and they also have the power to swallow life in illusions."
"The only way to break the illusion is to clearly recognize the existence of the illusion and kill it with [cognition] that it cannot understand."
"Reward: 30 rough stones"
"Big Experience Book*1"
This method of breaking the illusion is commonly known as CPU processing overload.
Now Lin Ye feels that his body is in the same state as the last time he greeted the keeper of heavenly principles on Sky Island. Isn't this a huge and indescribable [unknown]?
Can the demon Mtubbad transform this [unknown] into [cognition]?
Come on, brother whale, let's meet one.
………
Killing the afterimage of the demon god Mtubade in the illusion, Lin Ye also instinctively made the move to kill the imitation [Sub-Sample I] in reality.
Gulu worriedly put his slender white fingers in front of Lin Ye's nose, waited for two or three seconds, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Still angry.
The reason why Lin Ye fainted was because he had consumed too much. Whether he was engaging in a marathon race with a debt processor on horseback, or being pulled into a fantasy world to look directly at the afterimage of the demon god known for its pollution, Lin Ye was tense. String, dare not relax for a moment.
Now that [Subsample I] has been dealt with, I can finally relax. Lin Ye Bengbu lives in Bengbu and falls asleep.
Gulu helped Lin Ye up again, sighed, and looked around. There wouldn't be any ghosts in this wilderness at night, right?
Oh, she's a ghost too, so that's okay.
Lin Ye slept for two nights and one day.
In the past two days, Gulu first supported Lin Ye, then she found it troublesome and dragged Lin Ye with her arms. Finally, she simply stayed where she was, waiting for rescue. She was a fool and didn't know the way.
Occasionally sensing the scent of monsters, Gulu would hide her and Lin Ye's scent and stay away.
By the way, why did Gulu not carry him on his back when he was traveling through the forest with him?
Isn't this more convenient?
In this regard, Gulu said: Anyway, this guy is not dead, why are you carrying him? How can a beautiful girl carry her stinky brother on her back, huh.
Gulu knelt down and sat under the shade of a tree, letting Lin Ye rest on her thigh. While muttering that this was a beautiful girl's knee pillow, she thought about how to wake up Lin Ye.
After so long, Lin Ye still hasn't woken up, and even the pigs haven't slept so soundly. Gulu is a little anxious.
At this time, she remembered Lin Ye's method of waking up Qian Yanjun a few days ago, and Gulu showed a gentle and compassionate look on his face.
Don't blame me, Aye.
If you want to blame it, it's because you slept too much.
Just when Gulu was about to kill a slime, a capable blue-haired woman riding a fast horse stopped in front of her.
…………
After Ye Lan escaped, she went to find Lin Ye.
However, Ye Lan didn't expect Lin Ye to be so fierce, with two legs running faster than four legs.
The initial search area was not large, and one person could not find anything in the suburbs. There was no body of the debt processor, and there was no body of Lin Ye.
After a night of unsuccessful searching, Ye Lan first went to Qunyu Pavilion to report the matter to Ning Guang, and then sent informants to search and went into battle herself.
After searching for another day, Ye Lan suddenly had a sudden idea and realized something.
Is there a possibility?
This guy Lin Ye can run better than she thought?
The scope of the search was expanded, and finally the scene above was found.
…………
The old man of the Zhao family in Feiyunpo was having a funeral. Liyue stipulated before the funeral that the banquet should be held after the funeral. Zhao Heng's relatives and friends before his death all came.
Zhao Heng's body lay in the coffin and was taken away for cremation on time at noon.
Before the official funeral, Hutao didn't need to stay in the mourning hall. She temporarily left the matter to the funeral director.
"Where did you go to the forest? Even if you die, you won't tell me where you died, so that I can collect your body."
Hu Tao looked for Lin Ye everywhere in Liyue Port.
During the night patrol the day before yesterday, Hu Tao specially passed by the Chernow Factory and heard nothing. She believed in Lin Ye's ability and left.
Now it seems that Lin Ye still needs her as the boss to protect him!
After not returning home all night, there was no news from the Lin family. Hu Tao realized the seriousness of the matter. After searching for a long time but not finding it, she decisively reported it to Qian Yanjun.
At the same time, it was pointed out that the place where the forest disappeared was the Chernow Factory.
Hu Tao raised her head and glanced at the sky. Noon was approaching and she had to go back to preside over the funeral.
Without Lin Ye to conduct the coffin-carrying, the suona-carrying coffin would never be completed, and Uncle Zhao's wish before his death would not be fulfilled.
"All of this month's wages will be deducted!" Hu Tao was worried in her heart, but said angrily, and turned around to go to Zhao's house.
