Pollution throughout the territory - #305 - Chapter 301 The worm that eats dreams

This is like a corner of a laboratory. The space is less than ten square meters. You can see the smooth floor and white walls, as well as a few broken reagent tubes on the ground. Things further away are blurry. Beyond the fuzzy boundary is a gray space that looks endless and should be the end of this dreamland.

There were “clicking” sounds of insects gnawing at hard objects everywhere, which made people feel hairy. Zhao Rou huddled in the corner, holding her head in her hands, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

“Bugs, bugs came in…”

When Xia Ren and Lily came in, they saw exactly what they saw.

This small dream seemed to be facing collapse. He saw blurred black lines that looked like nerve networks all over the place, or like the winding and twisted passages in the ant’s body, scattered in the air, making the sound of gnawing on hard objects. It came out from the channel.

Moreover, the top of each passage was slowly extending, and several passages passed through their bodies, but Xia Ren did not feel any symptoms of discomfort.

“These black lines…”

He stretched out his hand and waved it in the air. Neither he nor the black line was affected in any way. This situation was exactly the same as what happened in the real ward.

“Don’t these bugs belong to Zhao Rou’s dream? Are they at a deeper level?”

However, if it wasn’t in Zhao Rou’s dream, where else could it be?

No one can explain this problem, Xia Ren can only find the answer by himself.

He walked to Zhao Rou and patted her shoulder gently: “Can you speak?”

Zhao Rou raised her head with a look of horror on her face: “Who are you? Run quickly! The bugs are coming in!”

Did she not recognize herself in the dream?

Xia Ren felt a little surprised. He sorted out his thoughts and asked, “Why are you here? And what about the bugs you mentioned?”

As soon as the word “worm” was mentioned, Zhao Rou’s reaction was fierce: “Run! You guys run! Run!”

She went crazy, pushing Xia Ren and Lily hard, trying to drive them away.

“Calm down first!”

Xia Ren held her shoulders and pushed her to the wall behind.

Zhao Rou in the dream seems to know something. The top priority now is to let her tell the clues she knows. Otherwise, she will not be able to figure out what is going on by herself.

“Listen.”

He paused and said in a calm tone: “We are here to help you and will not leave. Trust me, these bugs are nothing to be afraid of.”

Zhao Rou struggled twice, but her strength was far inferior to Xia Ren, so she couldn’t break free at all.

It seemed that Xia Ren’s words had some effect, and she began to mutter to herself:

“They will find here, they will find me…”

“Who are they?”

Xia Ren asked along.

“Insects, lots and lots of bugs, they are looking for my location. It won’t take long…”

Zhao Rou shook her head in pain, her tone full of despair.

Xia Ren continued to ask: “Why do insects look for you? How did you discover them?”

“parasitic……”

“What?”

She spoke in such a low voice that Xia Ren didn’t hear her clearly.

Zhao Rou suddenly raised her head and looked at him.

The moment they looked at each other, Xia Ren’s head buzzed, and his scalp instantly felt numb.

“This is……”

In Zhao Rou’s right eye, the pupil has disappeared, leaving only the white of the eye.

A pure white long worm was coiled like a snake where her original pupils were. It was expanding and contracting regularly, as if it was performing some kind of breathing movement.

Zhao Rou was completely unaware of this. She seemed to feel no pain at all, and her face was filled with only fear and despair.

“You guys hurry up, they’re coming soon!”

While she was speaking, the worms inside her eyeballs were also affected, and the frequency of expansion and contraction was significantly accelerated.

Xia Ren suppressed the discomfort in his heart and asked, “Why do you know they are looking for you?”

“I can feel.”

Zhao Rou was very anxious: “I can feel a bug in my body. There were two of them originally, but the other one suddenly disappeared without hatching. It lost its partner and could not reproduce, so it was calling for its companion.”

The missing partner should be the insect egg that Lily took out that night.

“You mean, the rest of the bugs are called by the one in your body?”

“Time is running out……”

Zhao Rou cried and shouted: “You guys, hurry up! It is cheering and happy. Its companions will find it here soon, and no one can run away by then!”

Faced with her excited look, Xia Ren was not as worried as he was at first.

Fear comes from the unknown. Now that he has roughly understood what the current situation is, there is no need to be afraid anymore.

“Lily!”

Xia Ren shouted: “Take off her right eye!”

“hold head high!”

The squirming bugs in the air had long made Lily feel disgusted. She agreed, her arms instantly stretched out, and her nails became sharp, like a sharp knife, piercing straight into Zhao Rou’s eye sockets, piercing her eyeballs. Gouged it out directly.

Zhao Rou screamed in pain and trembled all over. Xia Ren let go of her shoulders and let her squat on the ground in pain with her face covered. The bright red blood flowed out from between her fingers and fell to the ground, quickly gathering into one piece. Little blood pool.

“Dad, here it is.”

Lili held the eyeball to Xia Ren with her blood-stained hands as if she were offering a treasure.

“Go and help her ease her pain.”

Seeing Lily squatting down and stretching out a ball of green plastic tissue to wrap Zhao Rou’s head, Xia Ren took the eyeball in his hand and observed it carefully.

The worm inside probably realized that it had separated from its host and was in danger, so it began to swim around in the eyeball a little anxiously.

“Is it this little thing?”

It seems that there is nothing dangerous.

He gently scratched the eyeball with his nails, and the transparent tissue fluid immediately flowed out, and the long worms inside were also exposed to the air.

“Chi——”

Feeling threatened, the worm arched its body and let out a hissing sound.

It had a black mouthpart at one end, covered with two sharp fangs, and bit into the skin of Xia Ren’s palm.

Xia Ren felt a tingling sensation in the palm of his hand, and his body reflexively clenched his fist.

“Oops.”

Realizing that something was wrong, he opened his palm again. The poor worm was already motionless. It was suffocated between the back half of the body and the main body. Light yellow sticky pus was squeezed out from the other end, exuding a pungent fishy smell. taste.

He actually pinched him to death…

Xia Ren didn’t expect it to be so fragile. At the same time, the worms seemed to have lost their target collectively. The meandering and fuzzy black lines in the air suddenly became chaotic, and their direction of movement began to be chaotic. It seemed that these worms He couldn’t clearly perceive this dreamland, and could only rely on the thread in Zhao Rou’s body to guide the direction.

Seeing that the crisis was over, Xia Ren breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned back to check on Zhao Rou, only to find that she had fainted from being frightened by Lily.

The surrounding space begins to distort, and the boundaries of the dream are shrinking.

“Are you going to eat or not?”

Xia Ren stretched out his palm and placed the body of the worm in front of Lily.

Lily looked at the insect and then at Xia Ren, her expression a little hard to explain.

“Unappetizing……”

She said aggrievedly.

He’s even picky about food.

Xia Ren shook the bug aside and looked around.

“Her dream is ending.”
