Weak in affinity talent? Female ghosts are eager to give hints.

[Damn! How did Emperor An Tian know that this child could open the black passage?]

[It seems like Emperor An Tian has experienced something similar!]

[Really? You guys didn't pay attention to the details, okay? Didn't we find information before that investigators 0515 and 0535 had arrived? If you just reason carefully, you'd realize that this baby must be the later 0535, right?]

after all!

0515 is almost out!

As for why they could deduce that the baby could open the black passage? It's simple, isn't it? 0515 went out, meaning he also experienced these things. An Lan suspected the problem with the two exits, so naturally he thought of trying to open the black passage with the baby!

[Holy crap! Now that you mention it, it actually makes sense!]

[Wow! Emperor An is so meticulous!]

【...】

The viewers in the live chat were clearly somewhat dazed by what they saw.

But what's that saying again?

Just focus on becoming famous!

Once you become famous, great scholars will naturally come to debate the classics for you!

An Lan doesn't need anyone to doubt his ability to use time; someone will naturally analyze the situation for him!

......

"Wei Wei Wei——"

"Wei Wei Wei——"

Standing at the road entrance blocked by black, dead flesh, An Lan simply stopped moving!

He stared at his palm, feeling the viscous fluid in the walls corrode and engulf him. The tingling, bone-numbing sensation intensified with time, and his hand shrank...

Once she felt her palm had shrunk enough, An Lan decisively stretched out her palm towards the black, dead flesh!

"Puff puff puff—"

The flesh contracted, and An Lan immediately crawled inside!

"Gurgle..."

"Gurgle..."

The passage through the black, dead flesh was far more difficult to traverse than imagined.

It's like walking on an extremely narrow road, having to squeeze and push to create a gap, struggling to breathe as you walk a short distance, and then suddenly, light appears before your eyes...

"Oh?"

"Will this...take me back to the slide?"

"still..."

An Lan crawled towards the light with some anticipation...

"Whoa—" (It's out!)

Beyond the end of the wall path, there was neither a sandpit nor any new wall path, but a misty series of steps!

Yes!

Steps!

The steps, made of yellowish-green bricks, are so high you can't see the end!

The surrounding area was shrouded in thick fog, but one could see the baby "0535" looking in this direction from the steps!

Upon seeing An Lan, the baby grinned and pointed towards the sky!

"Whoa!"

The meaning is quite clear!

Follow him up!

"Whoa!"

Anlan didn't refuse, and the baby started climbing the stairs, laboriously making its way up each floor. She didn't know how long it took, but her hands felt almost numb from climbing...

at last!

At the end of the yellowish-green bricks and stones, a huge stone gate appeared!

The stone door was wide open, and the scene inside was—it was the same temple I had seen before!

Above the temple, in the misty sky, countless transparent blood vessels seemed to extend from the void, piercing into the temple and connecting to the beating heart.

And now!

Countless babies are being transported to the heart through the blood vessels!

"Waaaaah~ Waaaaah—"

Faintly, one could hear countless wails echoing through the fog.

An Lan watched this scene, her eyelids twitching involuntarily.

He knows it very well!

Those babies were either six or seven-year-old children or people who had accidentally fallen into the slide... So many people in one plane, just like that, inexplicably, became food for that insect!

"Whoa!!!"

(Let's hurry!)

"0535" seemed annoyed as well, and urged An Lan again. The two of them climbed into the temple!

"Da da da—"

This time, the perspective has shifted!

An Lan stood outside the blood vessels and climbed down to the bottom of the beating heart!

The two half-grown babies, looking at that enormous "heart," were actually powerless to do anything about it.

but...

Interestingly—

Inside the transparent blood vessel that An Lan had previously been connected to, an infant was frantically pounding on the vessel, screaming wildly at An Lan: "Waaah! Waaah!!!"

(An Lan! I'm so angry!)

(What the hell are you doing there?!)

(Holy crap! Holy crap!!!)

"Whoa!!!"

Kim Chang-pu never expected that after he had been tracking and hunting down An Lan, in the end... the other party was standing outside unharmed, while he was transported into the pipe?

No?

Chase! Chase!

In the end, after being chased to the very end, it seems like you're going to be the one who gets killed?

He reacted quickly because he was the only one being transported in his blood vessel. So when he saw the two babies outside the blood vessel, he instinctively guessed that An Lan might be in there!

Of course, he could also comfort himself by thinking that An Lan had already entered the [heart]!

Those two babies were just survivors!

Can...

He noticed that a baby was also looking at him, and, ironically, of all the tubes out there, only this one was being stared at...

Kim Chang-pak understood!

That—it's An Lan!!!

"Waaaaah! Waaaaah!!!"

(Damn it! Damn it! Why! Why did it end up like this?!)

(No--!!!!!)

Enveloped in white, sticky fluid, Kim Chang-park tried several times to activate his ability, but... the more he tried, the stronger the force pressing down on him within the pipe became...

until!

With a "thump," he was sent into the huge heart!

Never again...

There was no sound!

"Glug! Glug! Glug!"

The suspended heart beat rapidly, hatching a new batch of blood that was being transported toward the insect body on the altar!

"Puff puff puff—"

Around the insect's enormous mouth, the ground was covered with glistening eggs.

Holy crap! This dungeon is only C-rank?!

[Such a big bug? How do I kill it?]

I feel like I'd be lucky to even escape!

【...】

The comments section was buzzing with excitement.

An Lan glanced at "0535," which had already climbed to the edge of the giant insect and was looking down at its body!

Beneath the altar, beneath the giant worm's belly, lies a black blood vessel, seemingly connecting to the space beneath the altar, extending downwards as if without end...

Upon closer inspection, one can see round spheres inside these black blood vessels, being transported downwards...

This is...

The mother is sending larvae into an unknown space?!

It was unavoidable!

An Lan was startled by this idea!

If this is the case, the mother exists in a temple in an unknown space, connected to slides all over the world, devouring flesh and blood for nourishment. Then, after giving birth to larvae, she transmits them to another unknown space...

So, I've arrived at the insect's main nest?

"Whoa!" (Hey! What do we do now?)

Turning to look at "0535," An Lan was eager to know what this so-called "investigator" could still do now.

This is infuriating!

It truly is a matter of mortals looking directly at ancient gods!

"Whoa!"

(Let's go down the slide for the sixth time!)

"0535" actually smiled at An Lan and pointed to the black blood vessel under the giant insect.

"Wow!" (Wow! You call this a slide?)

An Lan smiled helplessly, but it was undeniable that...

"0535" is absolutely right!

This is the sixth time I've gone down the slide!

"Whoa!" (Let's go! I think I know where my senior is!)

"Slippery!"

That's hard to imagine!

An infant climbed onto the altar, squeezed the enormous insect egg, then hugged the black blood vessels under its belly and slid down into the bottomless darkness below the altar!

An Lan followed closely behind!

"Slippery..."

My hands were covered in the fat from the blood vessels, and it slid down the veins as if I were descending at high speed!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The cold wind kept blowing against his body. He didn't know how long he had been gliding, but An Lan finally saw the end of the blood vessels—a spinning black hole!

Yes!

It's exactly the same as the black hole that summoned me here!

Despite the bulging blood vessels, which were connected to the black hole, insect eggs were spewing out, as if the insects were spreading towards an unknown world...

and...

Right next to that black hole, there's a slide!

It's so abrupt and bizarre!

The slide is inserted diagonally at the edge of the black hole, creating a very spatial and aesthetically pleasing design!

This slide has no special designs or patterns on the transfer platform; it's just a typical kindergarten slide. However, a walkie-talkie is hanging at the exit of this slide!

Yes!

A walkie-talkie with the logo "0515" on it!

The walkie-talkie was emitting a erratic buzzing sound, repeatedly broadcasting the message: "Buzz buzz buzz—7! Buzz buzz buzz—7!...7!!!"

"..."

Seeing this, An Lan was shocked and suddenly realized!

Good guy!

That matches up!

Everything makes sense!

This is exactly what investigator "0515" is doing!

The reason his last communication was a "buzzing" sound and an unstable signal was because he placed the walkie-talkie in front of the exit for the last taxi!

What about the others?

An Lan's eyelids twitched as she looked at the spinning black hole!

Damn!

This guy wouldn't...

Did it run into the black hole to try and stop the spread of the insect eggs?!

"Whoa!"

(Holy crap! They're really going to fight against gods with just a mortal body?!)

An Lan had developed some respect for this investigator.

"0535" watched the scene for a while, then quickly climbed onto the slide, picked up the walkie-talkie... His body was recovering at a visible speed, and he also transmitted a message into the walkie-talkie!

"Number 0535! The belongings of former investigator 0515 have been found!"

"Investigation into the [slide] incident is complete!"

"I will carry on the legacy of my predecessors, leave the [Slide], and lead more humans to stop the spread of the [Macroworm]!"

"Upholding the will of humanity, the flame of civilization shall never be extinguished!!!"

"0515! You've worked hard!!!"

"0535," who had slowly grown into an older man, silently bowed towards the black hole.

Then!

His gaze suddenly fell on An Lan, who had also returned to his teenage years, his gaze equally complex as he looked at "0535". Because, just as "0535" bowed, a voice rang in his ear...

Ah...ah...ah...

[Listener, listener...]

【Listener descended from the abyss... Slay this weak race... Slay him... Together we will devour the world, and drink with you the glory of the ancient gods' descent...】

That's such a cringey, deep voice!

However, An Lan could easily realize that this was actually the call from that [Macrophagus Creep]!

Yes!

It was it that summoned me; there's also a special achievement quest in the [dungeon]: [Make Him Feel Pleasure!]

just now!

Isn't the answer obvious?

As long as "0535" is killed, the investigator's information will not be leaked! "0515" will also be unable to emerge from the black hole, and the [Macroworm] will completely annihilate all information from mortals who are fighting against it!

Killing "0535" will grant you the blessing of the Cthulhu!

In the blink of an eye!

Right in front of An Lan!!!
