Chapter 902: Not Riding? Then I’ll Eat You!

“Hey, friends from the Domination Sect. What a coincidence! Would you mind letting me ride your train?”

Lynn smiled and gave a slight nod with his hat. Thick tentacles writhed lazily around him.

Yin Yi’s heart was already in her throat.

Under the immense pressure of the blood mist, she trembled so badly she couldn’t even get a word out, much less remain as composed as Mr. Lynn.

And then, the very next moment.

When she finally made out the thing within the blood mist, her face turned pale as she understood why Mr. Lynn had said he wanted to “ride their train.”

“Th-That’s…”

The blood mist slowly dispersed before them. Trembling, she raised her head and saw a massive, mutated monster of flesh and blood at least ten stories tall. Its sticky surface was covered in tissue that constantly secreted blood and mist. Countless irregularly embedded eyeballs of all sizes dotted its pitted, writhing flesh. The largest was even more than ten times their size, and the bright red beam from before had not been a beam of light at all. It had been the gaze of that very eyeball.

Beneath the monster, countless blood-red tentacles were densely coiled together. The soft, rustling sound of them writhing was obviously coming from those intertwined, sticky tentacles.

Bigger than Mr. Lynn’s! Thicker! More grotesque!

【Ding! Yin Yi’s SAN -10】

Just standing before that monster made her feel as if she were about to come apart.

And as she trembled beneath its gaze, the enormous eyeball stared at Lynn. A chaotic sound that drove people mad slowly issued from within it.

“What—are—you—”

Lynn’s smile grew even brighter. He put on his top hat and said:

“Ah! I did forget to introduce myself. You may call me Sir Double Wood. I am one of the favored of our great and benevolent Desire Mother Goddess. How terribly rude of me.”

It was as if the sound of the words “Desire Mother Goddess” had reached its ears.

All the eyeballs squirmed and focused their gazes on him at almost the same time.

Their scrutiny seemed utterly cold.

An ordinary person subjected to the gaze of so many eyeballs would either break down on the spot or be driven completely mad. Yet Lynn still wore a smile, like an elegant gentleman.

“Desire Sect?—What are—you doing here?—This isn’t your territory—”

The voice was hoarse.

As soon as it spoke, Lynn’s smile deepened.

That confirmed his guess: the Domination Sect and the Desire Sect had not yet fallen out.

Lynn’s lips curled slightly as he adjusted his monocle. “Of course we have our own mission. But we happened to be passing through and saw someone selling some rather fine female specimens, so we couldn’t help lingering a little. You know how it is. Rescuing young women who’ve lost their way has always been one of the fine principles of the Desire Sect. Wouldn’t you agree?”

Smack!

Lynn slapped Yin Yi on the butt.

“Eep!”

Yin Yi yelped instinctively, then nodded again and again with tears in her eyes.

Zuo Zuo ⊙︿⊙ pulled out a little knife.

The enormous eyeball rolled wetly as its gaze swept over the humanoid female in Lynn’s arms, who could absolutely be considered a “top-grade specimen.”

“You people from the Desire Sect—are still so depraved—At most, we kill them—You insist on playing with them first, then killing them—”

“Ahahahaha!”

Lynn burst into a disturbingly hearty laugh, and the tentacles on his body danced exuberantly.

“Of course, it’s a delightful experience. But since you put it that way, I take it your friends can hitch a ride with you? I really can’t thank you enough.”

As he spoke,

Lynn was already turning his wheelchair with a cheerful (*￣︶￣) expression and rolling toward the enormous lump of a monster.

But he had only gone a few meters when—

Whoosh!

Danger struck without warning.

Huge tentacles burst out of the ground from all four directions around Lynn, in front, behind, to his left, and to his right. Their massive tips split into four parts, revealing rows of sticky, razor-sharp teeth within.

Lynn came to a graceful stop, still wearing his (*￣︶￣) expression.

The enormous eyeball reflected his image.

“We are carrying out a confidential mission within our sect—There is no place for you here—If you know what’s good for you—We won’t eat you, out of respect for our shared Flesh and Blood Cult—Now get lost—Don’t try to interfere with us—”

Yin Yi’s whole body had gone rigid. She was so terrified she didn’t dare move.

She instinctively tugged at Lynn’s sleeve, trembling.

If they couldn’t do it, then so be it… It wasn’t as if they absolutely had to infiltrate the group. That monster obviously wasn’t someone to mess with. If this wouldn’t work, they should retreat for now and figure out another plan.

But Lynn didn’t move.

He still wore that (*￣︶￣) expression, as if he hadn’t even noticed the four enormous, gaping, grotesque tentacles beside him.

The eyeball’s pupil narrowed slightly.

“Looks like you don’t plan to leave—Then I’m afraid I have no choice—Kill him—”

Scree!

The four enormous tentacles coiled like cobras and let out a foul, stinking roar as they lunged at Lynn. They moved at an unimaginable speed, intent on tearing him to pieces.

Yin Yi screamed and instinctively clung tightly to Lynn.

But just as the four tentacles were about to tear him apart—

Lynn rummaged through his clothes with a (*￣︶￣) expression, then raised his hand.

“Twenty coins.”

Hum!

The foul wind abruptly fell still.

The four tentacles with their grotesque gaping maws screeched to a halt right in front of Lynn.

“…”

It was as if time had suddenly frozen. The four tentacles stared motionlessly at the round Skeleton Coin in Lynn’s hand.

The countless eyeballs all turned in the same direction at once, fixing on his hand.

An eerie silence descended around them.

Yin Yi was dumbstruck.

With a (*￣︶￣) expression, Lynn took out his Demon Hunter Revolver, disengaged the safety, dispelled the curse, and raised it to aim at the tentacle on his right. He switched to normal mode and elegantly pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out.

The tentacle was instantly blasted away by the bullet’s impact. It twisted with a creaking, crunching sound as blood sprayed everywhere.

【Ding! You killed a Tentacle Guardian x1. You gained 50 EXP.】

“Twenty coins for its life.”

With a clatter, he tossed the Skeleton Coin into the mouth of the tentacle directly in front of him.

As Yin Yi stared in a daze,

Lynn pulled a purse from his clothes with a (*￣︶￣) expression and gave it a little shake. It jingled as he raised his hand.

“One hundred coins for the ride.”

“Take the money and give us a ride, or don’t, and I’ll eat you all.”
