Faced with Gu Xinghe's mockery, even though she knew she was at a disadvantage in the current tug-of-war with Gu Xinghe, she still felt humiliated.
Despite feeling her essence slowly fading away, Annie continued to struggle frantically, fearless.
Blood gushed from her body again, touching the still-conscious flesh and actively absorbing the blood of everyone in the room except Gu Xinghe and Mia, who was under his protection.
Compared to her previously restrained dining etiquette, Annie's current eating style is more rugged and direct.
The splattered blood stained the walls of the cabin red, and the headless corpse, its bones broken, was carelessly thrown on the ground after it had finished its consumption.
Hot blood continued to splatter from these half-dead bodies.
But for Gu Xinghe, these were nothing more than a drop in the ocean of a struggle.
Crimson blood-red threads intertwined with deep black mist throughout the room.
However, amidst the constant erosion, the blood-red side is being relentlessly forced back and has long since lost its initial advantage.
Anne's body, emitting a sharp howl, gradually withered and turned into a pool of blood.
In this situation, she was no longer able to maintain that false human mimicry.
The blood that filled the air like a tidal wave was completely swallowed up, and black mist gradually replaced the red of the blood, spreading throughout the cabins.
After Annie was completely consumed by Gu Xinghe, the room was filled with an even deeper darkness.
A strange black mist and shadow swirled around Gu Xinghe as he stood on the damp wooden floor.
Then he looked at the only remnant of Annie, whom he had devoured, now suspended in mid-air—
That was the essence contained in the sliver of power that the Crimson Lord gave to Annie—"perfect blood."
As Gu Xinghe reached out his palm to touch the drop of blood, he heard a deep and mysterious voice ring in his ears.
It's like the unconscious murmurs of a person experiencing a nightmare, or perhaps it's the judgment uttered at the moment of final death.
This drop of blood is the most essential manifestation of the pollution that Gu Xinghe is currently facing; it is an indelible existence.
Gu Xinghe had known for a long time that [pollution] would not be eliminated so easily, but would only be transferred.
Just like the mirror fragments he swallowed at Dawn Boarding School, they have now become abilities residing in his tentacles.
And that's why he has his current storage space.
This appears to be Gu Xinghe gaining a new skill after using his tentacles to devour the fragments of the magic mirror.
However, on the other hand, it also illustrates the indelible nature of pollution in this world.
Rather than being swallowed up and then disappearing, [pollution] is actually just a change in the form of existence.
The form may change, but the essence expressed in the content has never been erased.
Just like the illusion of the centipede he fell into at Dawn Boarding School.
After seemingly killing the centipede spider and successfully leaving that space.
Gu Xinghe seemed to be able to sense that its true essence had never disappeared.
Looking at the droplet-shaped blood in his palm, Gu Xinghe had no intention of swallowing it immediately.
He simply took out a glass reagent bottle, put the blood droplet into it, and then put it into his storage space, planning to return to Rose Manor to study it properly after this instance was completed.
For some reason, compared to Annie's side, I always feel that Brother Gu seems more like the final boss.
[It's obvious that Annie is still just a naive little girl; how could she possibly beat Gu Ge, a seasoned veteran!]
[Suspicious vehicle confirmed!]
Watching the various discussions among his viewers in his live stream, Gu Xinghe silently complained to himself—
With her flushed face and calling out to her loving father, Anne could hardly be considered an innocent little girl.
The dark mist dissipated and returned to Gu Xinghe's body. He picked up Mia beside him and walked out of the cabin.
After leaving his cabin and stepping onto the ship's deck, Gu Xinghe realized that it was a vessel disguised as an ordinary merchant ship.
At this moment, he saw many shriveled and twisted bodies lying on the deck of the ship, with a lot of cargo placed next to them for camouflage.
Therefore, it seems that these disguised crew members must have been handling cargo before they fainted and had their blood sucked.
Who knows when the townspeople will discover this merchant ship that has been idle for so long tomorrow?
Will there be another ghost story about a "dead ship" where everyone on board dies at the same time overnight?
As the creator of a new generation of ghost stories, Gu Xinghe turned around and left without hesitation.
All that remained of the ship, which was now filled with countless corpses, was a receding silhouette.
After stepping off the merchant ship, the long-lost electronic mechanical voice of the game system rang in Gu Xinghe's ears—
Side quest completed
[Rewards will be distributed after the main quest is completed.]
After completing the side quest to investigate the truth behind the disappearances in the town of Annecy.
Now it seems the truth behind the so-called disappearances in the town—
It was just a group of fanatical believers and strays feeding on these abducted missing persons, trying to "fill" Anne, who was the vessel, and then awaken their great benevolent father—the Scarlet Lord.
And it's clear that Gu Xinghe has now done more than just investigate the truth.
They also conveniently deleted Annie, who was currently only "half-full of knowledge".
