Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 294 – Cat Dad’s New Subordinate is a Bully

On day five of the dungeon siege, the players still lingered around the dungeon, harvesting natural resources – mining for ores in the cave and mountain.

As Joan’s guild stopped attacking or giving commands, the players were at a loss for what to do next. They decided to wait for Odin’s main forces to arrive.

That was their mistake.

‘Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream.’

Although it was faint, the players started hearing the nursery rhyme while they were extracting ores in the cave. They looked around, but they couldn’t the source of the song.

“You hear that?” A miner looked at his colleague.

“Probably some sicko. Who at this age is listening to a baby song?”

“But doesn’t it sound a bit creepy? The song sounds… creepy.”

This version of the nursery rhyme seemed old. It sounded like someone was playing a worn-out cassette with a half-broken radio.

‘Merrily, murderly, mortally, fatally! Life is but a dream!’

Combining with the sometimes-weird-lyrics, the song sounded like it came from a horror movie. Many grown men had goosebumps, and they panicked.

“The yellow monsters! The yellow monsters are coming!”

A few miners had seen video clips from players, who accidentally entered the B3 floor because of the noclip traps. All of them were killed or converted into party girls, but they managed to tell the world what they found in there, including the creepy theme song.

The players weren’t stupid. As soon as one of them warned the others, everybody in the cave dropped their tools and ran for their life.

Unfortunately, it was too late for them.

SQUISH

Party Girls emerged from the cave walls, ceiling, and floor as if they could phase through physical objects. A thousand of them came out and grabbed clueless miners.

 As the yellow monsters’ hands were in their mouths, they bit the victims as they grabbed them. Then, they ignored the bitten victims and ran toward the other players.

“AAAAAHHHH!!”

The bitten players suffered from random seizures and mutated into monsters. Some were dragged into the walls or the ground, and their fates were unknown. Still, a few manage to escape from the cave and informed the other players outside.

“DUNGEON BREAK!”

Dungeon Break was a term that the official game and players used whenever a monster hoard charged out of the dungeon. It always occurred when players ignored the dungeon for too long or the monsters multiplied over a certain number.

Whenever a dungeon break happened, a global announcement always followed.

DING

<Attention! Slave Dungeon’s monsters are breaking out! Dear players, please be careful of the monster hoard if you are in the area.>

<Note: Killing monsters during a dungeon break rewards you Contribution EXP.>

Unfortunately, the announcement alone wasn’t enough to entice the players when their levels were much higher than theirs. All party girls came out as level-700 monsters while the player base’s average level was merely 150.

“Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream.”

The theme song followed party girls everywhere even when they were coming out of the dungeon. As if their bodies contained a Bluetooth speaker, their bodies produced the song!

“Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.”

“AAAAHHH!!”

The symphony of desperate screams and nursery rhymes echoed on Gnoll Island. Crafters, miners, and innocent support characters of the players got caught. Blood flowed down the mountain, painting the beach and the sea red.

Lucky players who had been camping on the other island were alarmed. They packed their tools and items. Then, they began teleporting away from the island.

WHOOSH

WHOOSH

Suddenly, a group of naked slender girls with white-jade skin teleported to the island. They stood in the middle of the crowd, staring at the players.

Their names and level astonished the people who could see through their strength.

Pretty Skin, Level 666

DING

<You have been charmed!>

<You are attracted to Pretty Skin!>

It was too late for the male players to react as they were entranced by the gorgeous underage girls in front of them. Even without the abnormal status, they carelessly walked toward the girls.

“GEH!”

The girls smirked as they caressed the players’ rough dirty skin.

SWUA

With a slight pinch and pull, all equipment and clothes of the players were ejected and dropped on the ground. They pinched the players and pulled again, and the entire skin of the players was extracted from their bodies!

DING

<You have been stripped!>

<You have been skinned!>

<You are suffering from an abnormal status – [Deskinned]!>

“AAAAHHH!!”

The players snapped back to reality and screamed in pain. Before any of them could retaliate, these pretty girls suddenly split open vertically, revealing their true appearance as heinous monsters.

The vertical slit mouth showed a hundred juicy fangs before they chomped the skinless victims. They took their time, chewing and digesting the players that they caught.

While the girls were eating, the players received a game notification message.

<Pretty Girl has copied your memory and skills!>

After eating the players, they obtained the players’ memory just like how Battlefield Warlord copied Wei Zhi’s memory.

Pretty Girls had unique abilities. Although they weren’t suited for direct combat, they were experts in the espionage field – Memory extraction, disguise, and infiltration were their specialties.

The surviving players trembled in fear, but they couldn’t move. As soon as they looked at these new entities, they were charmed, and their characters automatically walked toward them. Then, they removed their clothes and armor.

The group of pretty girls looked at the remaining victims and smiled. They waited for the players to remove their clothes before they lightly touched their chests.

SWUA!

Once again, with just a soft pinch and a pull, the monsters deskinned the players.

“NOOOOO!!”

No man escaped from their combo.

.

Without a player around, Gnoll Island was quiet and tranquil.

After the Pretty Skins had their fill, they picked the best hides and wore them.

Then, their names and appearance changed – They assumed the identity of the dead players! The name indicator over their heads was no longer displayed as “Pretty Skin, Level 666”. Instead, it showed the dead player’s name and level.

The girls proceeded to mimic the player’s voices, tones, and behavior, according to the memory they stole. Then, they picked the dropped runes and teleportation scrolls.

‘Go ham, munya!’

Meowmeow transmitted his order to Pretty Skin’s mind. The girls gathered and used the teleportation scrolls, pretending to be one of the survivors.

The trend continued until dark. When the sun went down, no player, NPC, or agents of Pangu Church or Asgard were left behind on the northern islands.

.

Nightfall

“Kikikiki!”

A certain party girl slowly walked out of the dungeon. Twenty balloons with human faces also followed their master.

Party Queen, aka the Party Host, came out from the B3 floor per Meowmeow’s instructions. Her drawn eyes moved erratically as she had been using her domain ability.

DING

<You have activated the Domain of Party Host!>

<The level of all Party Girls in your domain becomes 999 as long as the nursery rhyme song is playing!>

<All Party Girl in your domain shares their five senses with you. If any Party Girl kills a player, the level of all Party Girls in your domain will be permanently set to 999.>

<If any Party Girl kills a non-player target, extract their soul and imprison them in a balloon. Each soul balloon can infinitely produce a random part of human flesh once a day.>

<If any Party Girl is killed, respawn them by sacrificing their balloon. The resurrected Party Girl cannot be respawned again for 30 days.>

Party Queen ignored the game message and looked at the balloons. The round things wriggled and expanded before one of the faces vomited sausages of human flesh to the ground.

The red and bloody sausages wiggled as if they were living fish on dry land. Party Queen picked one of them and threw it toward the nearest party girl.

The girls turned toward their queen in unison. Then, they moved in synchronization, forming a queue to take the meat sausages on the ground.

“KIKIKIKI!”

Upon taking the sausages, they stored them in their personal inventory and proceeded to extract meat, intestines, and organs from the corpses of players. They also collected their dropped items and gathered them in front of the cave.

At night, adolescent women with red skin and antennae walked out of the cave and explored the mountain. The War Maiden team sent their worker units to collect the gathered items that Pretty Girls had collected for them.

Fu De also came out. But when she got outside the cave, the creepy Party Queen bullied her.

“KIKIKIKI!”

The queen phased through the ground and appeared directly in front of the loli vampire.

“EEEEEKKK!”

Even though Fu De was once an old man, the party queen’s creepy face and presence scared her. After all, Fu De was merely a level-1337 immortal, not a super immortal like this monster.

Fu De glanced at Party Queen’s level. Then, she backed away.

“Stop bullying me, creep!”

“KIKIKIKI!”

Party Queen laughed and gave Fu De a balloon. However, it was one of the soul balloons from the queen’s private collection.

Fu De gazed at the creepy balloon with a crying human face. Her expression turned dark.

“I killed so many humans, but I never did something as creepy as you, you sick fuck!”

“KIKIKIKI!”

Party Queen patted Fu De’s head with a large hand. However, the hands stuck out their tongues inside and licked Fu De’s face.

“STOP BULLYING ME!” Fu De screamed again and pushed the large hand away, but it didn’t budge. Party Queen continued to press her hand on Fu De’s head.

“KIKIKIKI!”
