Only the worms in the cage made whimpering sounds, like they were crying.

Squeak~

The sound of the door opening was extremely faint.

They seemed afraid of being overheard.

Monica squinted, furtively opened the door, and came out.

She glanced at the flesh worm in the cage with bloodlustful eyes, then tiptoed to push open Kaphni's door to see if Kaphni was asleep.

Compared to Linda, this Kaphni was someone she feared even more.

Although on the surface, Linda has the advantage in combat strength.

But occasionally, an aura emanating from Kaphni would terrify her.

"If possible, get rid of this guy first, then kill Linda."

Monica muttered softly, her eyes darting into the bedroom.

Kaphni was lying on her back, sleeping like a log, occasionally snoring.

"Stupid humans."

She said dismissively, and opened the door to the second bedroom.

Linda also slept peacefully.

Place your hands on your chest and breathe steadily.

"Waaaaah..."

Monica let out a sinister laugh, closed the door, and walked toward the iron cage with a fruit knife she had found in the kitchen in her hand, her eyes filled with a chilling light.

No one knew better than her how fragile this fleshy worm was.

With just one strike, she could completely kill her opponent and obtain this body named 'Monica'!

Click!

But just then, the living room lights came on.

The sudden light terrified Monica.

She turned around and her eyes widened in shock!

"What are you doing here? Weren't you asleep?"

"It's the captain's turn to ask questions." Linda's face was cold. "I'm asking you, what are you doing?"

Monica thought for a moment, then burst into tears: "Captain, I'm scared! Waaah, keeping this bug around will definitely harm us. After being bitten, I feel so abnormal..."

“That’s definitely not normal,” Kafni said jokingly. “Even I can’t detect anything unusual about you. A level 20 hidden boss, yet your combat power is so weak. It turns out your strength lies entirely in your mental attacks. Your physical body is probably only at the level of a level 5 or 6 monster, right?”

"Waaah, what are you saying, Monica? I don't understand!"

Monica looked anxiously at Linda: "Captain, please help me!"

The answer to 'Monica' was a purple energy whip.

Amid screams, Linda tied Monica up.

Even now, Linda still finds it hard to believe that the truth is actually like this...

If he hadn't stopped 'Monica' in the underground hall, Monica probably wouldn't have come back.

The hidden boss in this fourth-level secret realm is extremely cunning!

"By biting Monica, you can swap bodies with her. Then, as long as your original body dies, you can take over this new body."

"Am I right, 'Goddess of Dawn'?"

A murderous glint flashed in Linda's eyes, and she tightened her Dark Whip, binding the fake Monica until she whimpered.

That sound was no different from that of a maggot!

"Captain, oh... Waaah, you've got it all wrong! I'm Monica, one of your teammates!"

"Then answer me, what is my other identity?"

"Uh... hey, Captain, it's the Captain."

Monica panicked and couldn't answer at all.

Just as I expected. Linda nodded to herself.

This goddess of dawn does not possess the ability to read memories.

The only information the other party knew was that this was a small team, and that they were the team leader named Linda.

More than that, I simply can't say.

"At first, I didn't believe it and thought the worms were deceiving us."

Linda took out a piece of paper.

A line of crooked words was written on top in green liquid:

[Captain, it's me, Monica!]

When Monica saw these words, her expression twisted in pain: "Where did this come from? Why don't I know about it!"

"While you were out for a walk and 'fed' the corpses of those superhumans."

Linda opened the iron cage, took out the worms, and looked gentle.

"It was Monica who bit herself and left the message with her blood. At first, I didn't believe it and suspected that the flesh worm had the ability to read the team members' memories and was using these words to deceive me."

"Until now."

"Seeing your various abnormal behaviors, and your inability to restrain yourself from attacking Monica, I am now convinced that when the flesh worm's original form dies, you will become the real Monica!"

Monica, the fleshy worm in Linda's arms, nodded repeatedly.

If they had eyes, they would surely be filled with tears of grievance.

If it weren't for the captain's intelligence, she would have already been replaced by the Goddess of Dawn!

"Heh heh heh... So what? Now that you know the truth, can you kill me?"

The fake Monica laughed heartily; at this point, she was too lazy to pretend anymore.

"Kill me, and that stupid human won't recover. Do you want to reproduce with an ugly, disgusting insect?"

This seems to be an unsolvable situation.

Even if Linda sees through the fake Monica's identity, she still can't do anything about it.

This is the source of their arrogance.

"You might have made a mistake."

Linda laughed helplessly, "Who said we were going to kill you? Don't underestimate the methods humans have been researching for thousands of years to torture their own kind."

In the world of flesh-eating worms, death is simply being eaten by a predator; the pain lasts for a few minutes, and then it's over.

But in the human world, there are countless forms of torture.

It can torture a victim for months, years, or even a lifetime.

Linda and Kaphni chuckled, like two thugs committing a crime, as they lifted the fake Monica onto the bed and tied her up with ropes.

The little girl was tied to the bed.

A man, a woman, and a large worm were surrounding her, chuckling strangely.

A hint of fear flickered in the fake Monica's eyes.

Disgusting to humans, I wouldn't want to mate with it, would I?!
