"Portal?"

When Koizumi Hongzi lost his mind just now, Qin Zhibo had already explored most of the area in front of the temple, and he did not find a door of unknown purpose.

If there is a door here, it can only be behind the temple.

"I'll go and have a look, you continue to translate."

Qin Zhibo went to the back of the temple alone, that is, behind the pedestal where Satogua was.

Passing by Satogua, Qin Zhibo tried his best not to disturb this huge monster.

At this time, Satogua had fallen into a deep sleep again, and his dark fur made him look like a basalt or onyx toad statue, not a living thing.

With his claws crossed in front of him, he lazily leaned against the back of the pedestal, ignoring the "little ants" passing by him.

Coming to the back of the base, there is a pool of hundreds of meters.

In this huge square pool that looks like a swimming pool, there are countless fist-sized black spherical ooze creatures swimming.

They are similar to the invisible children before the temple, but they are different in many ways.

For example, these slime creatures will not change into various shapes, and there are two tiny yellow spots on the spherical surface.

It is suspected that the yellow dot is the creature's eyes.

When Qin Zhibo walked to the edge of the pool, the small yellow dots on the surface of the spherical soft mud followed Qin Zhibo's movements.

At first glance, there is something cute about this creature.

But Qin Zhibo didn't dare to get close to them, he stuck to the edge wall of the pool, and walked to the wall behind the pool.

On this ancient wall, Qin Zhibo saw a "door".

The arched stone door frame defines the scope and shape of the "door", but the inside of the door frame is tightly packed with bricks.

In order to avoid being blindfolded, Qin Zhibo first threw a compressed biscuit into the "door".

pat.

The compressed biscuit hit the wall and fell back to the ground.

This is indeed a real wall.

After a little observation, you will find that the wall bricks in the door frame are different from the surrounding walls. They are obviously the kind of stone bricks mass-produced by modern factories, and gray cement can still be seen between the brick joints.

"This is……"

Qin Zhibo stroked the not-so-distant texture on the bricks with his fingers, and gradually understood the origin of the wall.

This is the wall built by Karasuma Renya!

Previously, this place should be the portal left by Eibon, which can freely travel back and forth between Enkai and the outside world.

But after Renye Karasuma came here last time, he built another wall in the portal to prevent others from entering or leaving Enkai.

As for Renye Karasuma himself, he has probably learned the method of blurring from the Kunyang people, allowing him to freely enter and exit regardless of the walls.

This old thing, take the bamboo shoots (loss)~
Qin Zhibo took out the [Sacred Sword of Physics] and knocked on the wall twice. The wall was so strong that manpower would definitely not be able to break through it unless blasting was used.

Koizumi Hongzi should have the magic of blasting effects, but this is the back garden of the toad god Satorgua.

If Satogua's back garden is blown up, will Satogua be angry?

probably angry...

Unless he is too lazy to be angry.

After thinking about it, Qin Zhibo felt that it was better not to challenge Satogua's laziness.

……

Back in the front hall of the temple, Qin Zhibo told Koizumi Hongzi his new discovery.

"The portal was built by the last person who came here..."

On Koizumi Hongko's side, the hieroglyphs written by Eibon's apprentice Theron are all what Theron saw and heard when he traveled along Eibon's footsteps.

There is nothing about spells in it.

Unable to learn new magic, Koizumi Hongzi was not depressed, but a smile appeared on her face.

"Look, it says there's a creature behind the temple called the 'Inner Breeder'."

"It is a parasitic organism that can inhabit a host from the inside, amplifying the host's madness to act destructively and spread insanely contagious thoughts to others nearby."

"As long as we have this, can't we deal with the Kunyang people?"

Hearing this familiar name, Qin Zhibo remembered what Mr. clock prayed to Satogua just now, isn't it the "inner breeder"?

Mr. Clock's purpose in coming to Enkai was to obtain this parasite.

The ability of this thing is different from ordinary parasites and infectious diseases. The inner feeder uses the human heart as the host, and the host will gradually fall into madness, and produce a meme infection effect.

And Qin Zhibo felt as if he had heard of this term long before he came to Enkai.

Some time ago, when Kinoshita Satoshi held a sacrificial ceremony in the Toushen Forest, he mentioned the "breeder from the heart".

Kinoshita Tomo, because his father was persecuted by the company's second-in-command, wanted to eliminate the "evil" in Japan.

If the "evil" in Japan, especially the high crime rate led by Mihua, is caused by "inner breeders"...

……

Soon, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi came to the back of the temple together, and saw the spherical ooze creature that filled the pond.

"These are the inner breeders?"

"should be……"

There are no other creatures behind the temple, that's the only possibility.

Koizumi Hongzi didn't say anything, bent over and squatted by the pool, and suddenly put his hand into the pool.

Qin Zhibo quickly asked, "What are you doing?"

Koizumi Hongzi raised her head, with a cold smile on her face, "The only way to transport these inner feeders is to let them parasitize in the body..."

At this time, the spherical creature in the pond felt fresh flesh, as if the goldfish in the pond smelled the bait, and immediately frantically rushed into Koizumi Hongzi's arm.

They do not cause any wounds on the skin surface, and seep into Koizumi's fair arms like liquid.

But after a while, most of the spherical creatures in the pool entered Koizumi Hongzi's body.

She withdrew her arm and sat on the ground collapsed.

Qin Zhibo was about to step forward to help him up, but Koizumi Hongzi raised his hand to stop him.

"do not come!"

"Anyone who approaches me now may be parasitized by the inner breeder..."

Koizumi Hongzi frowned tightly, and stood up staggeringly while supporting the ground.

"Get out of here while I can still control myself..."

……

The two left Enkai's temple and walked up the passage to the central cave hall.

There are openings to other cave systems, which are also inhabited by other gods, such as Abhoth, Atlach Nakya.

For Atrak Nakya, Qin Zhibo had some impressions alone.

When dealing with the case of the spider mansion in Puppet Ridge in Tottori Prefecture, Qin Zhibo actually found a spider nest on a nearby mountain.

The giant spiders in that spider lair are all called "Daughter of Atrak Nakya" by the system.

Those spider women were branded with the "spider mark" by Atrak Nakya, transformed from human form into giant spiders, serving their gods endlessly.

Misa Takeda of the Spider Mansion was chosen by Atrak Nakya.

Thinking of this now, Qin Zhibo came up with a bold idea.

If you enter this cave, can you find a way to Puppet Mountain in Tottori Prefecture?
In theory this is possible.

But in fact, taking this road requires taking great risks, and it is almost inevitable to meet the spider god himself.

Qin Zhibo took a look at his san value, it was no longer enough.

Besides, Koizumi Hongzi's current condition is very bad, she can't bear those inner breeders for too long.

So, Qin Zhibo gave up this idea, and Koizumi Hongzi continued to return the same way.

……

Leaving the cave, the two returned to the lightless canyon.

At the entrance of the cave, there are no Kunyang people squatting here.

But Qin Zhibo was more cautious, and let Minase Harumi fly out to explore the way first.

After a while, Minase Harumo brought back the news that those Kunyang people were resting at the exit of the canyon and did not leave.

Hearing this, Koizumi Hongzi sneered before Qin Zhibo could express his opinion.

"Humph……"

That being the case, don't blame them.

……

On the plain flowing with red light, an orange-red bonfire is crackling and burning.

Khasaj and six other Kunyans are cooking a fire.

One of the Kunyang people was stirring the spoon while pouring the soup into bowls and distributing it to others.

"Captain, how long do we need to monitor here?" one of the Kunyang people in ordinary uniform asked.

The captain of the sentinel, Hasaji, took a spoonful of soup and put it into his mouth, and replied: "At least wait until their food runs out..."

Although the Abyss of Enkai is a fearsome and forbidden place for the Kunyan, they must ensure that outsiders actually die inside, not hide in it.

"According to the human appetite and the food they carry, it will take at least 30 days of human time..."

In this matter, Khashoggi is experienced.

Fifteen years ago, the magical woman entered Enkai, and Khasaj and his sentry waited outside the canyon for 15 days.

"30 days of boredom...I really miss fighting in the arena."

"If it weren't for the souls of those snake people to stop us, we would be able to catch the outsiders directly, and bring them back for fun."

"Isn't it, these hateful snake people..."

When the Kunyang people were sitting around the campfire eating and chatting, the four-legged animal standing not far from them suddenly raised its head.

Their heads were aligned and looked into the darkness deep in the canyon, which immediately aroused Hasaji's vigilance.

"Captain, what's wrong?"

"There seems to be something in the canyon..."

Hasaji put the bowl in his hand aside and stood up, squinting his eyes slightly, his atypical long and narrow Indian face staring closely at the depths of the canyon.

In his field of vision, a figure faintly walked out of the deep canyon.

Under Yoth's characteristic red light, Hasaj could clearly see the face of the comer. It was the outsider who had been chased by them like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered a few hours ago.

This outsider is a woman in the duo, and she looks much more embarrassed than before.

"Yo! Where's that man?"

"Why did you come out by yourself?"

Khashoggi's long and narrow face was cast in a shadow under the light of the campfire, and his words were full of sarcasm.

"Is it solved by the existence inside?"

"Or do you have no guts to go in at all?"

When the surrounding Kunyang people heard this, they also laughed "hahaha".

In their conception, human beings are a race inferior to Kunyang people after all, and they are far inferior to Kunyang people in terms of resourcefulness and courage.

The reason why they want to inquire about the outside world from outsiders is not because they are worried about the outside world, but because they are curious and interested.

The Kunyan once went deep into the dark abyss of Enkai with a searchlight, and saw the living creatures flowing from the stone troughs, and worshiped the statues of Tsatogua carved from onyx.

This taboo picture scared the Kunyang expedition team out of Enkai.

Since then, Enkai has been regarded by Kunyang people as a forbidden place that can never be broken into.

As an inferior race, it is naturally impossible for human beings to explore deeper than the Kunyang people, let alone come out of Enkaili alive...

So Hasaji subconsciously thought that the man entered Enkai and died.

And this woman didn't have the guts to go in, so she could only withdraw cowardly.

"Outsider, since you don't have the courage to enter there, come back with us."

"Kunyang's door will open to you again..."

Hasaji's face was full of smiles, holding a disintegrating ray gun in one hand, and six other Kunyang people surrounded Koizumi Hongzi.

But when Hasaji stood in front of Koizumi Hongzi, countless spherical black substances suddenly emerged from Hongzi's body.

These black substances rushed towards the body of the Kunyang people like a wave.

"what--!"

The Kunyang people turned pale with fright, and beat the black substance on their bodies with all their might.

But these substances quickly sneaked under the skin of the Kunyang people and disappeared without a trace.

"what is this?!"

Hasaji yelled at Hongzi Koizumi, but the next second, he felt an impulse in his heart.

He heard a voice in his head screaming "Kill him", "Kill him".

The same is true for other Kunyang people, who have even begun to stab their companions with the saber at their waist.

The inner feeder is like an amplifier of evil thoughts, the more evil the host's heart is, the crazier the transformation will be.

This is perfect for dealing with this extremely depraved race.

At this moment, the desire and evil in the hearts of these Kunyang people are infinitely magnified.

They abandoned the decree, raised their swords and slashed at their companions frantically.

As if he had lost his mind, Hasaji used the disintegrating ray gun in his hand to look for the outsiders who released the black matter.

But at this time Koizumi Hongzi had already disappeared, and there were only companions who were killing each other around.

Looking at this crazy scene, Hasaji didn't stop it, but the corners of his mouth turned up to the point of twisting.

He raised the disintegration ray gun in his hand and pointed it at all the living objects around him, while shooting, he let out a sharp and ear-piercing laugh.

Lines of blue rays, blood mixed with the red light of Yoss, flew across among these Kunyang people.

The scene was once chaotic.

When everything stopped, the corpses of Kunyang people were already lying beside the campfire.
