Chapter 401: Myth Stage
“The Mythical Phase has arrived, please draw an on card from the pouch and make a judgent.
The total ti for drawing and judging should not exceed [one minute], otherwise a ‘Despair Mont’ will be forcibly triggered, resulting in the drawing of two on cards and triggering them directly.”
The on pouch hanging at his waist reacted.
Inaccessible.
The opening of the pouch was covered with a thick black mist. Han Dong took a quick glance, and even had the illusion of peering into an abyss.
It always felt like countless eyes were staring at Han Dong from inside the pouch.
Ti is short.
Han Dong decisively extends his hand into the pouch.
There was a sense of delving into slick flesh, with cold tentacles clinging to Han Dong’s arm.
The pouch was much deeper than it appeared on the surface, requiring Han Dong to extend his entire arm to touch the on cards stored at the bottom.
The cards seed to be stuck in the walls of the pouch, only a part of them exposed, requiring Han Dong to forcibly pull them out.
Squelch….
The card was coated with sticky pus.
A black card was retrieved by Han Dong.
Click~ At the sa ti, a tal dice also slid into Han Dong’s hand through the pouch opening.
The six-sided dice corresponded to six numbers.
The content of the black card was temporarily invisible, with only a smooth white octopus mark imprinted on the surface, representing an ‘on value’.
“One point…the challenge is low.”
Han Dong tossed the dice in his hand. His luck wasn’t so good… four points.
“Unequal numbers, the on appears.
Please read the contents on the corresponding on card carefully and handle it flexibly. If mishandled, you will not obtain the corresponding on value.”
“That’s fine.”
Actually, because of the ‘Despair Mont’ setting, Han Dong ironically hoped his luck wouldn’t be so good.
Under such multi-setting fate events, it was necessary for Han Dong to experience the [Mythical Phase] in advance.
At the sa ti, he also needed to accumulate ‘on values’, for future needs.
[On – Cold Spider’s Eggs]
Area: Town – General Supermarket
Misfortune: Select four common people randomly, they will be invisibly implanted with cold spider eggs.
Special Traits: The cold spider, whether in adult or juvenile form, has an incredibly rapid reproduction rate. If not dealt with promptly, the people in the supermarket will be fully parasitized by the eggs in a short period of ti.
(Note: The mature cold spider variant is extrely dangerous, capable of killing all the townsfolk in the supermarket in a short amount of ti)
Requirent: When more than ten civilians are dead, you will be unable to obtain the corresponding ‘on value.’
……
“Cold spider? The kind of spider from the movies that can lay eggs super fast in a human body, and whose protruding silk threads corrode flesh quickly?
Just by looking at the requirent on the On Card, I could skip this on just by leaving the supermarket, with the only penalty being unable to get an ‘on value’.
However, there are few loopholes in fate events.
If I choose to avoid ons as much as possible in the early stages, as the events unfold, more and more unknown dangers will erge… if I do not have an on value and my own ability doesn’t significantly impact such life forms, I will be cornered.
Take the current On encountered for example,
If I choose to flee, the supermarket will surely be overco as a nest of the cold spiders and a large number of mature cold spider variants will co into existence, causing
significant trouble later in this event.
It’s necessary to clean them up beforehand.”
Han Dong decisively put away the on card and returned to the interior of the supermarket.
Thanks to the foreknowledge that ‘the mist hides monsters,’
Under the guidance of the male protagonist, everyone is piling up bags of rice around the edges of the supermarket windows.
At the sa ti, so people are starting to make temporary weapons, torches, and make-shift Molotov cocktails to deal with the monsters.
Han Dong’s face was gloomy as he walked as closely as possible to each person, closely observing the facial expressions and attitude changes of each of the residents… those parasitized by the spider eggs would certainly display so physiological changes.
“An old man, a teenager, and a middle-aged woman…bloodshot eyes, fear of cold, and mild abdominal pain. I can more or less confirm that they are the carriers of the spider eggs.
Let’s first see if I can get rid of them directly.”
Han Dong placed his arm on a trembling young man. As he was not an important character, no related dialogue prompts were triggered.
The mont of contact, the plague fungus imdiately invaded the young man’s body.
It soon discovered the eggs parasitizing the young man’s intestines… Due to the effects of the G-virus, Han Dong was able to grow eyeballs capable of sight on the surface of the fungus.
Resembling an endoscope, it spied within the young man’s intestinal region a kind of whitish filantous shell, a spider egg floating with microscopic tentacles.
Every second, the spider eggs multiplied.
Just as the plague moved along the intestines and was about to reach the spider eggs.
The surface of the spiders’ eggs slightly shivered, imdiately demonstrating its alertness and powerful life characteristics… Han Dong decisively stopped the plague.
Otherwise, the spiders inside this young man might hatch prematurely due to stimulation.
If a single spider juvenile isn’t killed, this young man will mutate in a short amount of ti.
The plague retreated, this thod of dealing was too dangerous, Han Dong dismissed it.
“My apologies…”
Han Dong pretended to mistake the person and continued to walk.
“I need to gather the four parasited individuals and deal with them together…Speaking of, the fourth person doesn’t seem to be in the lobby area, where did they go?”
Han Dong searched and only found three villagers showing symptoms of discomfort. A sense of unease begins to spread through Han Dong’s heart.
…
Supermarket Restroom (n).
A large-bellied black security guard was relieving himself here.
“I was fine when I woke up today, but I get an upset stomach just at a ti like this. Ouch, it hurts. Speaking of which, did they turn on the air conditioning in the supermarket? Why do I feel so cold?”
This security guard, Murray, was a professional boxer. Later, due to injuries and sickness, he couldn’t continue boxing and had to return to his hotown to work as a security guard.
He thought that after relieving himself, he would purge the physical discomfort, but instead he felt worse.
“Maybe I’m sick. There’s dicine in the supermarket…”
Murray had just pulled up his trousers when he felt sothing uncomfortable in his crotch… Looking down, he saw several pale spiders crawling in his pants.
The spiders’ bodies were covered with compound eyes, making them look several tis more terrifying than regular spiders.
Arachnophobia.
Because his pants slipped to his knees, Murray was startled and failed to stand firm. His body tipped backward…his head hit hard against the tal flushing apparatus.
Murray’s weight of more than three hundred pounds caused him to bleed when his head hit the apparatus, dying instantly.
The host’s life signs disappeared and were no longer suitable for egg parasitisation.
Although it will take so ti for the eggs to fully hatch, the change in environnt triggered them to hatch prematurely… Murray’s body slowly split open from the middle.
First, several small spiders crawled out.
Then, several giant white spider legs swept out from between Murray’s body….borrowing the body of the security guard, transforming it into a spider variant.
