Chapter 1908: Chapter 1906: Tasting
On the way to the library.
For so reason, the mist on campus beca thicker, to the point where only the stone path underfoot was visible.
[World Investigator – Mary] also felt increasingly uneasy,
always feeling that in the surrounding mist, countless malevolent eyes were peering at her, and occasionally, she would catch sight of tongue-like tentacles stretching out briefly and then retracting quickly.
If not careful, one might be dragged in by the tentacles that suddenly appear…
A sense of fear acting directly on the soul’s plane made her unconsciously cling close to Han Dong, trying to maintain a distance of less than one ter between them.
She couldn’t rember anything about herself, not even truths or abilities… she only recognized the ‘Mr. Han Dong’ before her and wanted to find clues related to the ‘Yellow Robe King’.
Even though she seed a bit older in age, this young teacher always exuded a reliable ‘feeling’.
As long as she stayed close to him, Mary felt much more at ease.
They walked along the stone path for an unknown amount of ti, encountering no students… until the mist before them completely dispersed,
Mary suddenly froze, all the accumulated fear inside her was fully expressed, her body even trembling slightly.
An indescribable giant monster appeared in the mist.
Its skin flowed like mud,
as if it slled the scent of the two of them, its body surface grew large, irregular mouths, with small crowded eyeballs like peas scattered between each mouth.
All the mouths rged into a giant abyssal mouth, suddenly devouring towards the two of them.
This scene instinctively frightened Mary to seek refuge, tightly holding onto Han Dong’s arm.
However.
The feeling of devouring did not co, and the rotting sll floating in the air quickly dissipated… the only thing that ca was Han Dong’s relatively soft voice:
“Here is Foda’s library… let’s go in and have a look.”
When Mary looked up.
The indescribable monster had unexpectedly transford into a library, and the large mouth beca a dark gold door.
There was no sound at all when pushing the heavy iron door,
in the utterly silent ground floor lobby, a few students sat sparsely, everything seemingly normal.
But in Mary’s eyes, a completely different scene unfolded.
It wasn’t students reading, but instead the books were reading the students… “Reading People”.
The books in front of the students all grew a single eye,
between the pages also grew a large number of long, spiky tentacles,
so wrapping around the students’ bodies, holding them in place on the seats,
so tentacles used sharp spikes to slice along the midline of the students’ heads, exposing the complete brain structure.
Inserting the tentacles into the brain,
flipping through the cerebral cortex like flipping through a book, reading the information hidden in the brain’s gyri, cerebellum, and different regions.
Moreover, interesting information would be recorded within the books.
This kind of “Reading People” act made Mary’s scalp tingle.
But currently, there was only the library path to take… holding on to a sliver of hope, she followed Han Dong to the front desk.
Since making noise was forbidden inside the library.
Han Dong handed a note with ‘King-in-Yellow’ written on it to the staff at the front desk.
Unexpectedly, the staff laid down their work and offered to lead the way… books related to the Yellow Robe King were stored in a special and hidden section, needing soone to guide them there.
Maneuvering through a library as convoluted as a human’s intestinal structure.
They finally arrived at a sealed compartnt.
The staff pulled out a dusty yellow book from sowhere, its title identical to the little label Han Dong handed over.
“This book is the most precious and ancient collection in our library. Please have a good taste, Professor Nicholas.”
The word ‘taste’ was emphasized, and the staff flashed a sinister smile before quickly exiting the compartnt…
Click-click~ also locking the door behind them.
The distinctly eerie atmosphere forced Mary to cling as close to Han Dong as possible, their arms fully pressed together.
Han Dong gazed at the yellow book in front of him, speaking softly:
“There really is sothing strange, I’ve never encountered this situation on any prior visit to the library… perhaps there lies the answer we’re looking for in this book, let’s begin.”
“Okay.”
“Do you want to open it, or should I?”
“You do it~” Mary, though keen to open it herself to seek information on the Yellow Robe King, couldn’t help but feel scared when recalling the earlier ‘Reading People’ scene.
As Han Dong opened the first page of the book.
A pale yellow gas visible only to Mary seeped from the book, filling the entire reading room.
Buzz!
Mary’s body also beca imdiately immobilized, unable to speak.
At this mont.
Yellow mist banded together behind Mary, condensing into a figure shrouded in a yellow robe…
Mary could sense the presence and its unparalleled terror, yet could not make any move.
Several ancient hands slipped into Mary’s hair, slowly wandering upward, fingernails danced on the skull,
Snap!
Easily popping off her skullcap, with no sense of pain.
At the sa ti, under the influence of a foreign power.
Mary’s body leaned entirely against Han Dong, her pried-open head moving right in front of his face… a rich, fresh brain aroma continuously wafted from it.
And
without knowing when, a spoon was already pinched in Han Dong’s hand… seemingly about to taste her brain.
(Perspective Switch)
The scenario in Han Dong’s eyes was completely different.
As he opened the book, a fragrant sll infused his nostrils, arousing the deepest desires in the soul’s depths.
This yellow-covered book held content that was indeed literally ‘colorful’.
The descriptions between words were exquisite, arousing the deepest desires within Han Dong.
At this ti, Miss Mary, who was close beside him, also initiated contact… straddling across Han Dong’s thighs, expressing her most straightforward intention.
“Mr. Han Dong, please ‘taste’ properly.”
Mary, naturally albino, also had a fair, soft body. Under such emotions and atmospheric rendering, there would be hardly any male ability to resist.
But…
“What are you doing? Aren’t we looking for clues in the book? Sit properly, let’s talk about this later.”
Han Dong directly moved Mary back to her original seat.
Continuing to scrutinize and read this ‘colorful’ worded book… Besides, he indeed found useful and important clue information within the pages of this book.
“Yellow Robe King, Carxa… right! I should have followed the Yellow Robe King, exploring the [Realm of Spirits] governed by Him, how long have I been lost?”
Once Han Dong realized this.
The surroundings began to disintegrate, consciousness floated upwards, slowly leaping out from the depths of the soul’s dreamland…
When Han Dong opened his eyes, he found himself in the grandest opera house in Carxa, his body was bound by strips of yellow silk in the air.
A white-haired woman was also hanging beside him, indeed Mary.
The Yellow Robe King stood in front, shaking His head with so helplessness:
“Nicholas~ What should I say about you?
You’re impressive, indeed impressive… In a dream controlled personally by , you’re able to sense anomalies and even have the initiative to wake up.
But you’re quite foolish, truly foolish, able to resist such a marvelous ‘specin’.
You’ve been comprehending within “Soul Dreamland” for several months, very few people can persist so long… let alone, you’ve been practicing the “Book of Dead Spirit” within it, the exhaustion of the soul’s weariness almost maximized.
Just right, an outsider with King Level standards broke in here,
I thought of drawing her in deeper, integrating her into your dream.
If you can absorb this high-quality King Level soul, all aspects can be completed… Ah~ such a waste.
Do you still want to eat?~ even awake you can still eat?”
The Yellow Robe King tapped Mary’s head lightly, if He hadn’t removed the malignancy by then, He would have acted on impulse long ago, it wouldn’t have been Han Dong’s share at all.
