Chapter 208 The Final Insect Nest



"Huh? Is there no follow-up?"

At this moment, Chu Liang looked at the article that abruptly ended with Chapter Six with a mixture of anger and surprise.

It seems obvious that the dissatisfaction stems from the sudden interruption of updates, which prevents viewers from seeing the continuation of the story.

The viewers in the live stream naturally shared the same reaction as Chu Liang.

What happened next? What happened next? I want an update!

How could I stop updating here?!

However, unlike Chu Liang, who was somewhat dissatisfied, Gu Xinghe and Cheng Li did not show much negative emotion after reading the discontinued article.

He was simply thinking that what he had initially perceived as a pure love story had completely deviated from its original course after it had barely begun.

Furthermore, the article describes what happened when the younger sister, Serena, saw her brother, Camos, interacting with other women.

She also always writes about how the younger sister would quietly watch and observe her older brother's interactions from behind.

I always felt that Serena looked somewhat sickly.

So, in this story where there's no sequel, will it end with a woodcutter's axe? Or perhaps it's a forced love story of imprisonment?

However, judging from this, this article seems to have the characteristics of modern news articles that "start with a few keywords, and then rely entirely on fabrication."

After all, its title is indeed attractive and sensational enough.

Moreover, this was "news" at the time, as recorded in the newspaper.

However, Gu Xinghe was certain that this account was embellished with a lot of exaggeration.

It's even possible that, aside from the town name and the names of the people mentioned at the very beginning, none of the other information is reliable.

It seems that the narrator clearly wrote it as a vernacular novel, and the readers also read it as a vernacular novel.

But if this fictional "news" article is indeed set in the town of Wheatfield.

So what is the real part of this?

After reading it, Gu Xinghe put away the first newspaper that mentioned Theresa and threw it into his storage space.

When Gu Xinghe saw Teresa appear in that newspaper, his strange collecting habit resurfaced.

After all, he currently has too many strange and useless things in his storage space.

For example, women's clothing, cat food cans that humans can eat, and a complete set of sealing wax stamps.

So adding another old newspaper on top of that doesn't seem to make much difference.

Just then, as the three were preparing to head home, Gu Xinghe received a "message" from the Red Jade Spider.

After the red jade spider worked tirelessly, almost 24 hours a day.

It indicates that it has occupied more than half of the "territory" in the town.

The reason why this achievement was made so quickly is mainly due to the rich nutrients in the insect's body.

As Gu Xinghe said before, the taste of the insects is somewhat like a fitness meal.

Although the taste may be so-so, its nutritional value is absolutely excellent.

Therefore, with these highly nutritious "supplements," the Red Jade Spider's abilities were greatly enhanced.

Later on, its subsequent improvements became faster and greater.

It means that it is evolving while eating.

After learning this news, Gu Xinghe felt that everything was in the bag.

During yesterday's investigation, Gu Xinghe vaguely learned about the so-called three-day time limit from Blanco and Sandy's thoughts.

After today, the so-called three-day deadline is fast approaching.

However, at this point, Gu Xinghe did not intend to go to the target house exactly on the last day, but rather to meet the deadline at the last minute.

After sharing this idea, the two "tools," Chu Liang and Cheng Li, readily accepted Gu Xinghe's arrangement.

After leaving the dilapidated library in the town, Gu Xinghe and his two companions had a good night's rest at their lodgings.

The next morning, under the eager action and guidance of Blanco and Sandy,

Gu Xinghe and his group arrived in front of the house that the people in the town considered extremely strange.

At the same time, there is a very high probability that this place became the final nest of the swarm of insects that were hidden throughout the town.

But before entering the house, Gu Xinghe chose to leave the Red Jade Spider in the town.

Let it continue working without rest, instead of accompanying him into the room.

This is because Gu Xinghe considered that, since it is in the whole town, whether it is the people living in it or the houses in it.

There are many insects hiding inside, and the people living there are also affected.

There's a growing trend of spreading "eyes and ears" throughout the town, turning it into a giant insect hive.

In that case, why not let the red jade spiders work together with him outside the house to thoroughly exterminate the insects?

Before officially entering, Gu Xinghe carefully examined the house in front of him.

It appears on the surface to be the same two houses that Blanco had arranged for his group to stay in.

Or perhaps the houses where other residents in the town live are not much different.

This is clearly a poor, backward, and remote town with inconvenient transportation.

It would be strange if a magnificent castle of a different style appeared in front of us.

At this moment, after exchanging glances, Gu Xinghe and the other two no longer hesitated and chose to step directly into the house in front of them.

But when Gu Xinghe actually entered the house, he felt a sensation similar to spatial teleportation.

While there are some similarities, it doesn't feel like the game system directly teleports them to different locations for dungeons.

At this moment, Gu Xinghe also remembered where this feeling of familiarity came from—

It was the feeling he had when he stood in front of the wall of bottles in the Tavern of Doom and was teleported to the core of Eris.

It was also how he felt when he fell down the stairs into the environment of a centipede at Dawn Boarding School.

In this light, it's no wonder that the people in the town tried to burn the house down, but to no avail.

After all, this house can only be considered a kind of external projection, rather than a contamination of the true core.

But everyone who enters this house never returns.

This is clearly why Gu Xinghe doesn't intend to create an artistic explosion on the exterior of the house.

To find the root cause of the pollution.

Or it could be like what happened on the boat in Annecy, when Anne was actively exposing herself while drinking other people's blood.

Or, like at Dawn Boarding School, he was beaten up by Gu Xinghe until he was forced to expose himself.

Only by finding a core element can we better combat pollution.
