Chapter 34
The disappearance of the black mound mist is like a drop of water merging into the sea, without a sound or a trace.
The defense team was in an uproar. The sudden disappearance of the monster under supervision was enough to trigger the highest level of vigilance and countless conspiracy theories. Panic and suspicion surged in the undercurrent.
Only the huge amount of money that was suddenly transferred into his sister Kurozuka Aoi's account the day before Kurozuka Kirishi disappeared, which was enough to ensure the latter's lifelong worry-free life, coldly reminded him that this departure was not an accident, but more like a premeditated plan.
That night, Hoshina Soshiro stayed awake all night. He sat alone on the edge of the base's rooftop, holding a slightly old doll tightly in his arms.
That was the only thing he found in Kurozuka Kirishi's empty room, the only thing she seemed to have left behind on purpose, or perhaps forgotten.
The bright moonlight fell, pale as her skin in the past. The night wind blew with a salty and moist breath. In the mouth, there was a bitter and salty taste, like tears mixed with salt.
He remembered her strange silence a few days before she disappeared, her pale face and empty eyes at the beach.
A strong intuition drove him to take out his cell phone and send a short message to Yabaimina.
The next day, the defense team began to survey the surrounding sea area. However, after several days of high-tech exploration, nothing was found.
The sea guards its secrets with its eternal silence, and the deep trenches refuse all prying eyes.
Just before everyone decided to return home after finding nothing,
One eerie night, a small wave suddenly rose from the unusually calm sea, flooding over the deck. When the wave receded, a ruby, gleaming with a moist luster in the moonlight, remained quietly on the cold metal deck.
At the same time, in the deepest part of the ocean trench, beyond the reach of human probes, beyond the definition of light and darkness,
It's not pure darkness here. The dark red magma light from the cracks in the earth's crust is like the breath of hell, dimly illuminating this forbidden zone of life.
The huge, indescribable monster embryo slowly pulsated and grew in the viscous energy liquid, creating a strange and spectacular scene.
Black Mist was suspended in this bizarre landscape, with countless blood-red, seemingly living tendrils extending from the surrounding rock walls, gently wrapping around her limbs and torso, like some strange symbiosis.
She held her face in her hands and looked at this "home" with indifference.
Not far away, that huge mass of blood-red tendrils, barely recognizable as a humanoid "existence", the monster she subconsciously called "mother",
It was enthusiastically teaching another monster, whose form was closer to that of a human, but still twisted, how to "create" new ones of its kind from the energy and matter of the abyss.
The "mother" loves all of her "children" extremely, but if you ask her which one she prefers the most, she will choose Kurozuka Kirishi without hesitation.
She was its accidental "masterpiece". Unlike other "materials" that had fallen from above and had long lost their life, when it inserted its tendrils into this special body, it felt an unprecedented resonance and potential.
What was even more rare was that after waking up, the child did not instinctively flee or attack the pet like his other brothers and sisters, but stayed beside it very well, accompanying it through the long and boring time.
However, due to an unexpected oversight, after a long sleep, the "Mother" discovered that her most beloved child had disappeared. In anger, the "Mother" mercilessly turned all the semi-finished products around her into her own nutrients, and then fell into a deeper sadness and sleep.
Until recently, an unexpected visitor came deep into this place and awakened it.
The visitor proposed a deal: it would help the "mother" find its lost child, and in return, the "mother" needed to teach it the secret of creating life.
The "mother" readily agreed. Even without a deal, she was willing to teach because she was so lonely.
And now, its favorite child is finally back!
In order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, the "mother" made up her mind that after completing the transaction with the visitor, she would completely lock the house so that no one could leave or break in.
Kurozuka Kirishi's feelings towards her "mother" are very complicated. It gave her a strange "new life". This blood-like connection cannot be severed and even gave her a sense of belonging for a time.
But at the same time, her memories of her human days prevented her from completely integrating into this scarlet abyss, which was why she chose to leave.
But judging from the current situation, she may never be able to get out again...
She tugged at the warm yet suffocating silk strands on her body and cast her gaze above the endless dark waters.
Outside of this forgotten time, I don’t know how much time has passed, maybe a few days, maybe a few weeks. Time is meaningless to the abyss.
The "work" created by the mysterious visitor finally completed its final gestation. When the energy cocoon that enveloped it slowly faded away, revealing its true appearance, Kurozuka Kirishi immediately judged that the other party did not have the aesthetic taste of the "mother".
Just by looking at the trembling silk whiskers trying to avoid everything, she could even guess that her "mother" was muttering in her heart, saying that this student's talent was really not that good.
Accidentally meeting the gaze of the new monster, Kurozuka Kirishi reached out and patted the other's head.
Her movements were very light, and they separated at the touch of a finger.
However, this insignificant action instantly attracted the "mother's" full attention.
The "mother" who had just been disgusted with her student's work, seemed to be jealous and her huge body immediately began to wriggle.
Countless tendrils joyfully and impatiently rushed towards Kurozuka Wushi, quickly and gently wrapping her up and pulling her away from the new monster.
"Hehe... my baby... good boy..." A wave of spiritual fluctuations mixed with strong possessiveness and joy entered Kurozuka Wushi's mind: "Don't touch those low-quality toys... they are dirty..."
The "mother" rubbed Kurozuka Kirishi's cheek affectionately with her whiskers while excitedly conveying a new idea: "Come... follow mommy... let's go see your other brothers and sisters! They are much more beautiful than this one! Let's go play with them!"
As she spoke, without allowing Heizhong Wushi any objection, her huge blood-red tendrils surrounded her.
Like a proud mother showing off her most precious collection, it swam deeper into the rift, towards the monster embryos it had created, floating and pulsing in the energy liquid.
Heizhong Wushi turned around and looked at the visitor, but met his strange eyes.
She had a strange premonition...
