She could hear Siri's muffled voice through the communication device. However, Rena couldn't hear what she was saying.
When there was a long, slippery, sticky tongue swaying back and forth in front of you as if it was sniffing your scent, you probably wouldn't be in the mood to listen to what someone else was saying.
Rena instinctively felt disgusted and afraid of the creature in front of her. However, she suppressed the emotions that made her legs tremble. She tried her best to speak in a cold voice, "Are you a duoluozhong?"
Rena didn't even realize that she was subconsciously mimicking Lin Sanjiu's calm tone.
Siri's calm and muffled voice still came through the communication device. Obviously, Reno didn't hear what his sister said.
Even though Siri didn't mention anything about duoluozhong, Kisaragi Library was still a part of this apocalyptic world. It wasn't hard to imagine that a duoluozhong would appear here.
Rena watched helplessly as the pores on both sides of the creature's tongue suddenly contracted. Saliva dripped from the tongue. One drop even landed on Rena's shoe. Rather than calling it a tongue, it was more like the creature's weapon and breathing organ. Rena was currently being pointed at by the creature's weapon. Her mind was racing as she tried to figure out her next move.
The number on her body was only "3". Even though Reno had asked Rena to attack him before he left so that he could transfer some lives to Rena, Rena would be rendered powerless for a period of time after the "Fatal Attack". Hence, Rena didn't use this method.
"So, how should I fight this battle?"
The creature's flat, long face slowly rose from the top of the bookshelf. Then, it slid down the bookshelf in a way that would make a person's scalp go numb. As it moved, more and more of its body was gradually revealed to Rena.
It was a cylindrical body that looked like an earthworm. Even its color was the same as an earthworm's. It was so huge that Rena couldn't even wrap her arms around it. When it slid down the bookshelf and stood up, Rena could finally see it clearly. Its upper body was already two meters tall. In the dim space, it formed a solid and tall shadow.
Rena glanced at the half of its body that was hidden in the darkness and gulped dryly.
Did the people from the north wing know of its existence? … It's so big, there's no way he wouldn't know, right? What is this thing? But if it was related to the people from the north wing, then why didn't they bring it along when they attacked the central hall …
His chaotic thoughts had just surfaced halfway. Suddenly, there was a gust of wind. Rena suddenly realized that the tongue had disappeared. Thanks to the low visibility in the dark, when she stood up, the "earthworm"'s face was almost hidden in the shadows. That long tongue, which was as thick as a human's torso, suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He ran straight towards Rena.
The girl rolled away in a flustered manner and quickly hid behind a bookshelf. At the same time, she suddenly felt a burning pain on her back and arm. She touched her hand and felt something sticky on her palm. She wasn't sure if it was blood or mucus from the floor.
She endured the pain that made her skin feel like it was about to split open. She looked down and couldn't help but let out a hiss. The shoe that had been stained with the earthworm's saliva had already corroded a small part of the shoe. There was a small black hole in the middle of the shoe that was still emitting smoke.
"Bastard," Rena suppressed her pounding heart and cursed. She stretched her arms and casually grabbed a few books from the bookshelf behind her. "Why don't the duoluozhong here let me wear my shoes properly?"
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard another gust of wind. Rena turned around and saw that the long tongue was right behind her. As the two air holes shrank, a larger amount of mucus dripped onto the floor.
However, the strange thing was that the floor was not corroded. The mucus only formed a highly corrosive "puddle" on the floor between the bookshelves.
There was another gust of wind. The black shadow attacked Rena from the side. This time, it was obvious that it was trying to force her into the "puddle". The "earthworm" probably chose this method of attack because the mucus came out from both sides of the tongue and could not control its direction. Rena didn't dare to take the attack of the long tongue that was covered in mucus. She quickly rolled away. However, before she could stabilize herself, the long tongue changed its direction and attacked her again. The mucus was instantly flung into the air and fell to the ground.
She was already at the railing of the second floor. Rena was about to fall from the second floor of the north wing. She gritted her teeth and used her body to shield the books in her arms. As the sticky liquid burned through her clothes and skin, Rena quickly flipped open the two books. Her eyes quickly scanned through the pages.
However, when Rena scanned through the pages, her heart sank.
This place was too dark. She couldn't see anything. However, she wasn't willing to throw the books aside and run. She tried her luck and placed her eyes on the pages. She could only make out a few blurry words with the help of the faint light from the other side of the book. However, there were only a few words and they couldn't even form a complete sentence. Naturally, there wasn't any special effect.
The attacks behind him had stopped at some point.
She had only spent three to four seconds reading the book, but it was already too long.
Rena felt the ground tremble slightly and rhythmically. Then, the pages of the book turned black. Even the few words she had read were covered by a shadow. She slowly closed the book and turned around.
Unbeknownst to her, the flat, noseless face was already close to her shoulder. Its chin hovered in the air and stopped on her left shoulder. From one side of the face to the other, like a zipper being unzipped, a huge mouth gradually opened.
"What are you looking at, young lady?"
Rena froze.
The earthworm's voice sounded like it was squeezed out of its throat. It had a shrill voice that didn't match its body. The earthworm spoke in a sticky tone as it slowly dragged its long body out and blocked Rena's way. It blocked her in front of the railing.
"Why are you reading in the dark? What's in the book? " There was a tinge of excitement in its sticky voice. It quickly changed its tone, "Tell me now!"
When it spoke, Rena could faintly see its long tongue rolling around in its black hole like mouth.
Rena felt cold sweat oozing out of her body. Her palms were so wet that she couldn't hold the book properly.
Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration.
"… Don't, don't hurt me." She controlled her breath and deliberately said in a trembling voice, "I'll tell you now. Wait, let me find a light …" (To be continued)
