Chapter 575: Chapter 574 The Deceased’s Wish

Those fluttering Other Shore Flowers were like the hair on top of the deer’s head, with everyone present moving about on the scalp of the monster.

Wen Wen didn’t feel that the monster possessed much Strength, but the unknown eeriness made his scalp tingle slightly.

"Something is very wrong here, it seems I need to be more careful, at least a typical Disaster Level monster definitely doesn’t have the ability to mount such a display."

He landed on the ground, casually grabbed an Other Shore Flower, and pulled it out, roots and all.

The flower twisted like a living thing, wrapping around Wen Wen’s hand, emitting a series of strange whimpers, as if begging him to put it back into the soil.

But Wen Wen did not comply with its wishes, and after a while, the transformation lost its vitality, gradually turning into a withered weed.

The surrounding flowers also lowered their heads, as if mourning for that one flower.

Wen Wen ignored these strange flowers and just brought some soil up to his nose, noting it had a very faint smell of blood.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the black hair on his head began to wriggle, a strand extending non-stop, drilling down into the ground through the hole left behind by the pulled out transformation, losing response after a few meters down.

After pulling the hair back out, Wen Wen found that the tip had been completely eroded, revealing a bright red at the eroded end!

"There’s something going on underground here..."

Before Wen Wen could continue to probe further, he heard a cheer.

The Raincoat Man, holding the hand of a strange woman, returned to the vicinity of the carriage, took out the meals that had been prepared, and let the woman taste them.

The woman was not beautiful, but the Raincoat Man looked at her with eyes full of doting.

"You’ve always been nagging me to cook for you, but I’ve never agreed, and now I’ve specially made this for you to eat..."

The woman nodded shyly, even though all the lunch boxes were covered with bloodstains, and even though all the food had gone cold, she still ate with relish.

The Raincoat Man, watching the woman’s contented expression, showed a silly smile only love could elicit from a man.

His father was a Pervert, a killer addicted to murder who subjected him to a nightmarish life from a young age.

When he turned eighteen, he served as a witness and sent his father to prison.

After that, his life was almost entirely bleak; people saw him as another murderer like his father, only the woman before him was willing to try to understand him, willing to live with him.

Later, his life began to brighten, and he was about to marry this woman.

But at that time, his father escaped from prison.

And put his fiancée in this canvas bag, giving it to him as a wedding gift...

After that, the Raincoat Man’s life plunged into darkness again.

When he received this letter, he went to find his father and stuffed him into the same canvas bag, planning to present it as a gift to the woman.

But in the end, he still took the body out and filled it with the things his fiancée desired most...

Wen Wen stood to the side, watching intently with furrowed brows, "This woman is not a living person, but she’s not a pure soul either; she has her own body... and from the feel of it, the body seems to be an Other Shore Flower?"

"But even if the body is constructed from the Other Shore Flower, this woman’s soul is indeed real, which means she is truly the person the Raincoat Man is looking for..."

Wen Wen’s mind was a tangled mess, it seemed that the existence of this place was merely to allow those people to see The Deceased for one last time in order to resolve their obsessions, but Wen Wen always felt that something was not quite right.

While he observed the Raincoat Man, other people also successively found the individuals they were looking for.

Zheng Han and another high school student found the girl named Li Youyou, and they brought another unconscious high school girl to Li Youyou’s side...

Two female nurses found a handsome man, who gently caressed their faces.

But Wen Wen could tell at a glance that, like one of the female nurses, something was lurking inside the handsome man.

Hou Murong finally found his brother; the two walked arm-in-arm, amidst the clusters of flowers as if they had much to talk about, but Hou Muyao looked somewhat strange, as if he had no soul of his own.

The woman quickly finished the meal the Raincoat Man had prepared for her, and they embraced each other, exchanged a few intimate words, and then her body emitted a faint glow.

The faint glow gradually dissipated into sparks, merging into the nearby soil, leaving only the Raincoat Man staring at his empty embrace, tears streaming down his face.

Watching this, Wen Wen suddenly had an epiphany, "I think I understand what’s going on now... I had the sequence wrong before."

"It’s not that Hou Murong and the others have come to search for The Deceased, but rather that The Deceased wanted to see them, which is why letters were specifically sent to them!"

"The living generally have pure intentions when they want to see the dead, but The Deceased wanting to see the living..."

Just as Wen Wen figured it out, all the Other Shore Flowers started to dance in unison, humming in human voices while the rustling of the leaves and branches seemed to create an eerie accompaniment; the style of The Deceased began to change.

The first to change was the handsome man, who, along with one of the female nurses, opened his mouth wide to simultaneously extend a bright red tentacle, the two tentacles entwining with each other.

This bizarre scene frightened the other nurse into screaming, and as she screamed, she fainted.

After entwining for a while, the man smiled contentedly, then fell to the ground and melted into the soil, and all the surrounding Other Shore Flowers seemed to become even lusher.

The Tentacle Woman retracted her tentacle, glancing at the other female nurse with a malevolent gleam in her eye.

She and her husband were both parasitic Monsters who had come to Baoya City two years ago.

Their Strength was only a bit stronger than that of an average human, so they could only disguise themselves as a brother and sister, working at a hospital, subsisting on the leftovers of human flesh and blood found there.

But one day, tired of feasting on dead limbs, they wanted to lure a living person to taste something different.

The Tentacle Woman became best friends with the female nurse, while Tentacle Man managed to make this nurse fall in love with him; having earned this nurse’s trust, even if they devoured her completely, no suspicions would be raised.

But the day before they were to act, the Tentacle Man was killed by a passing Demon Hunter, leaving only the Tentacle Woman, who dared not reveal any abnormalities, living in fear for two years.

The Tentacle Man and Tentacle Woman were the last of their race, and if nothing unexpected happened, when the Tentacle Woman’s life came to an end, their race would cease to exist in the real world.

However, a few days ago, the Tentacle Woman received a letter from her husband, instructing her to take the female nurse to this subway.

They were to meet in this world, breed new life, and then implant it into the female nurse’s body, ensuring the continuation of their race...
