Chapter 717 Caterpillar

Chapter 717 Caterpillar

Just as Thor continued to go deeper into the archaeological city of Stene, which had turned into a dusty ruin, Koli, who was left behind in the deserted town, suddenly raised her head from the magic book.

"I seem to hear someone talking." The two strands of red hair beside Kelly's ears stood up, receiving signals like an antenna.

Agu, who was sitting next to Keli and answering her questions from time to time, paused slightly and said, "An just walked around the town. It is true that no one has lived here for a long time. Is there anyone else coming here to rest?"

An, who had been on guard on the roof, jumped down.

She used her mental power to sense her surroundings again, but found nothing.

"Ms. Keli, can you tell where the sound is coming from?"

Keli listened for a while, her long red hair falling down. "There is no sound now, but the sound just now sounded not far away from us."

This is even more strange, as An Ke has been keeping an eye on the surroundings.

If Keli could hear someone talking just by using her ears, then there was no reason why she and Agu couldn't hear it?

But now they did not detect any fluctuation of mental power.

Keli is not even at the second level yet. Logically, her strength should be inferior to An's. Her major research area does not involve spiritual bodies, but she heard noises that neither An nor Agu heard.

However, An did not think that Keli was hallucinating just because he did not notice anything.

She simply transformed her lower body into a spider, climbed up the wall, and flew over the eaves and walls, thoroughly inspecting the small courtyard where they temporarily stayed.

However, nothing was found.

"Strange." An returned to his original position in confusion, looking at the surrounding walls and houses on both sides, "Still found nothing. Could it be that someone sneaked up and left?"

Keli was a little embarrassed. She grabbed her hair and said hesitantly, "Maybe I heard it wrong."

She looked down at the magic book spread out on her lap, "Maybe it was influenced by this book."

Agu said quickly: "Ms. Keli, you should take a rest. If you are really affected by this book, you should recover your mental strength as soon as possible to avoid being affected more deeply. If not, you also need to recover your energy to deal with other abnormal situations."

Keli closed the book reluctantly.

This book organizes the knowledge related to Kuroshio pollution studied by Sol and Byron, and also includes laboratory-grade inerting formulas.

Keli was shocked and quickly became addicted.

If Thor hadn't strictly limited her reading time to prevent her mental abnormality, Kelly would have read for days and nights without sleeping.

"In fact, I only watched it for less than ten minutes today..."

"...When I have money..."

Keli's voice stopped abruptly.

Even Agu and An stood up and looked around with a wary look on their faces.

Yes, the sound just now appeared again.

The sound is clearer.

And this time, Agu and An also heard it.

"The sound is indeed very close." An narrowed his eyes and his gaze finally fell on the house behind them.

"...I will go to Koster too, but not now..."

The sound became clearer and clearer.

Ann gestured to the others and then slowly approached the house behind her.

There were still sounds coming from inside.

"...Now that I'm gone, who will take care of you..."

Andu could already hear through the window the voice of a boy, probably no older than 16 years old.

She looked solemn and ready to fight at any time.

When she was checking just now, she clearly checked every house in this courtyard.

There's clearly no one in there!

But why did a little boy appear now?

Especially after hearing several sentences clearly, An still couldn't find the mental power that should belong to the boy.

It was as if there were only sounds but no people inside.

But when An's head was about to touch the window, she vaguely saw the figures of two people.

But both of these figures are a little strange.

Keli released her defensive development and walked to An's side.

"Just open it and you'll know." Keli also noticed something unusual.

Her expression was serious, but she still pushed open the window.

After the window was pushed open, An and Agu both tensed their non-existent muscles in an instant.

There were indeed two people behind the window.

But these two people...are actually caterpillars with human heads!

Both caterpillars are as thick as a man's forearm.

There are circles of black spots on the plump white body. The body is covered with tiny and very sharp spike-like hairs, which only stop near the neck.

Also here, the white worm gradually turned into dark skin and finally evolved into a boy's head.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The boy's neck and face were not big, almost the same size as the insect's body, as if his head had drilled out of the insect's body.

Kelly's action of pushing the door did not disturb the boy, or the boy caterpillar, nor did it alarm the listener opposite him.

An old man with gray hair and wrinkled face, also on the body of a caterpillar.

The boy caterpillar is still talking.

"...Don't try to persuade me. I'll do some work and prepare some food for you to survive the winter. Then I'll go to the city to earn money..."

Keli pursed her lips and looked at An beside her.

Then she gently closed the window.

"Is it an illusion?" Keli whispered.

They had been speaking in normal voices until the anomalous entity was discovered.

But Keli, who was so frightened by the scene just now that she had goose bumps all over her body, subconsciously communicated in the lowest voice.

It was as if it was afraid that the human-headed caterpillar in the house would hear their conversation and then crawl out little by little in the form of a cricket pupa.

"Not like that." An's expression was also very ugly, "But their mental fluctuations are very weak, like two ordinary civilians."

"If their heads weren't attached to the caterpillar's neck, the old man and the young boy would look like ordinary people."

Such two strange existences only emit the vibrations of ordinary people.

This is hard to believe.

"No matter what, let's leave this yard first." Agu also lowered his voice like Keli.

The three of them tiptoed and quietly left the courtyard where they had just settled.

Behind them, there were still faint sounds of conversation.

It was not until they closed the gate of the courtyard that the sound was completely blocked out.

Keli touched her arm and said, "Wait a moment, we'll go over and take a look."

An looked at Keli in disbelief, "We don't need to go in again, right?"

Now that he thinks about it, this courtyard is very strange. As a warrior who protects Keli, An naturally doesn't want Keli to return to this courtyard whose details he doesn't know.

"They don't show any aggression. The elemental particles here are not very active either." Keli thought of the inerting formula she had just seen in the book, and couldn't wait to try it herself.

However, after a while, when they opened the door again, they found that the yard was empty again, and there was no sound of conversation at all.

As the pioneer, An was still the first to go in.

She ran straight to the innermost room, and this time, when she opened the window, she did not see the caterpillar with a human face.

"It's gone." An stared blankly into the room.

The room was covered with dust.

There was no trace of the dragging that a caterpillar should have when moving.
