Chapter 135: Tangdi Tongxin (3) Tongxin Teng’s eating habits
Before he could finish his words, a pale face appeared pressed against the glass. Under the light from the bedroom, it looked as cold as a piece of white silk.
Then, the second, third, fourth... a total of seven faces appeared one after another, like a bunch of grapes, one pressed against the other, tightly pressed against the glass.
Seven pairs of eyes rolled around, looking at every corner of the bedroom.
"Don't be afraid, boss!" Bai Jie rushed forward, opened his arms, and stood in front of Gao Mengtang.
Looking closely, the seven human faces grew on the same rose vine, and around the outside of the faces was a circle of rose petals.
It's Tongxin vine.
Tong Xin Teng had no interest in the people in the house. After looking at them for a while, he sank back into the ocean. Bai Jie ran to the balcony and leaned against the railing to look down.
The seawater was as black as ink, and was made translucent by the light. A string of seven human-faced Tongxin vines swam in the water like sea snakes, their black and white eyeballs like the painted eyes of a puppet doll, delicate but rigid.
Bai Jie breathed a sigh of relief: "You didn't attack us, that's great."
A parasitic monster, it has an attack preference and will not attack just anyone it sees.
But Wei Wei said that Tongxin vine likes soil. But the seven-faced Tongxin vine appeared in the water... Could it be that the monster has evolved?
Why did Tong Xin Teng attack them?
Gao Mengtang's remaining sleepiness disappeared completely. When he went to the hall, he saw that everyone was awakened by the fright. Duan Song was holding his vulture and trying to comfort him.
"The Tong Xin vine is so disgusting!" Duan Song said angrily, "How could it, how could it... Everyone, be careful, don't let the Tong Xin vine parasitize you."
Gao Mengtang: "What's wrong? Did it hurt you?"
"No, it, it, likes it," Duan Song said with a dark face, spitting out a few words with difficulty, "eat excrement."
It turned out that Duan Song's little fat vulture was squatting on the deck of the yacht to make poop, and Tong Xinteng came over after smelling the scent, and those faces opened their mouths to take it.
Duan Song looked into the water and saw the human face on the Tongxin vine, chewing it contentedly. He was shocked and disgusted, and immediately carried the little fat vulture away.
Everyone: ...
It's a bit outrageous, but it seems reasonable for plants to use feces as nutrients.
The thought of the parasite eating shit voluntarily instantly raised everyone's fear of Tong Xin Teng by eight levels.
It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting.
If it turns into a complete monster and eats feces with a look of enjoyment, it would be barely acceptable.
The person who is parasitized by the Tongxin vine still maintains a human face!
Just imagining the scene of being parasitized, everyone couldn't help but retching.
He Lun was furious: "This is too disgusting! I would rather be driven crazy by the source of fear and scratch myself to death than be parasitized by the Tong Xin vine!"
"Woo?" The Maltese raised its furry little head.
Hei hugged He Lun's parents, and the three of them cried together, muttering things like "Why did this happen?" and "Can we get out of here alive?"
It was five o'clock in the morning and no one could sleep. People sat in silence, checking their phones.
I saw a series of news related to Xin Teng.
"A new monster appeared near the public toilet on the east coast of Xizhou"
《Dog-owning families please deal with pet feces in the near future》
New Order: Communities should plan domestic pollutant treatment centers as soon as possible
In order to draw attention, the news was accompanied by several videos: a green vine rolling in the ruins of an exploded public toilet, and a person's face was covered with feces and urine.
"Senior, you must promise me," Duan Song suddenly grabbed Gao Mengtang's hand with both hands and said very seriously, "If I am parasitized by the Tong Xin vine and you can't save me, then kill me. I can't live like that."
Gao Mengtang: "Hey! Don't say unlucky words!"
"I am willing to do my best to stab you into a sieve," Wei Wei leaned on the sofa and read "The Secret of the Moon", while two black clay puppets massaged his shoulders. His tone was quite sharp, "Don't worry. You can also inform me in advance which way of death is more suitable for you. If you are really scared and want to die now, I will do my best."
"I still want to live for a while, just kill me before I eat shit. Thank you." Duan Song was immediately relieved and patted his chest, "Wei Wei, let's fight again. I will also chop you before you eat shit. It will be quick and clean, and I will never let you suffer."
Wei Wei: "Thank you, but that's not necessary."
"Don't refuse, you've become a person who loves to eat defense... Ugh," Duan Song stroked his chest to relieve his breath, "Wei Wei, you didn't see Tong Xinteng's appearance with your own eyes, so you don't understand. That scene was so disgusting that I felt sick to my stomach."
"Shut up." Wei Wei said.
Duan Song took the lead, and the others also found their own "kaishakunin" and agreed to help them finish off at the critical moment.
After the storm subsided, the sky was bright. The Jinduan sailed towards the west coast. Everyone was not well rested and prepared to take a nap. Wei Wei sat down behind the desk holding the "Moonlight Secret Method".
"The Tongxin vines have evolved," Gao Mengtang moved a chair and sat next to him, "They can enter the sea water."
Wei Wei looked up from the book: "That's right."
Gao Mengtang chose his words carefully: "You have encountered Tongxinteng in the dungeon, so you should know more about this kind of monster and its parasitic preferences..."
"I don't know." said Wei Wei.
Gao Mengtang didn't believe it.
Different monsters have different attack points. The key to understanding parasitic monsters is to figure out their attack preferences.
Given Wei Wei's cautious and careful character, it is unlikely that he would clear the level in a muddle without even figuring out the attack preferences of the parasitic monsters.
Gao Mengtang blinked and looked at Wei Wei seriously: "You don't want to say it."
Wei Wei lowered his head to read again: "Monsters have evolved, and their past parasitic preferences will probably change. It's useless to know."
That is, he clearly knew it, but didn't want to say it.
"The more key information we know, the more chances we have of survival." Gao Mengtang gently took out his "Moonlight Secrets", closed it, and pressed the cover with one hand. "You don't want to talk about it, probably because the memory is very painful. Wei Wei, you are such a sensitive and kind person, you definitely don't want the tragedy to happen again."
Wei Wei's hands were still holding the book.
Wei Wei slowly clenched his pale and thin fingers and turned to leave.
Gao Mengtang grabbed his sleeve and said something so straightforward that Wei Wei forgot to break free: "Is it related to your sister?"
Gao Mengtang did not have a rich accumulation of knowledge, but it was a coincidence that the "Tang" in his name was taken from the word "Tangdi".
The name of the copy is [Tangdi Tongxin], which means deep brotherly love and harmonious relationship.
The parasitic preference of Tongxin vine is probably related to these four words.
Wei Wei was stunned for a long time, then turned his head suddenly and stared at Gao Mengtang fiercely, even with murderous intent: "How do you know I have a sister?"
Gao Mengtang opened his mouth but said nothing. If he said any of the names, Wei Wei would probably bear a grudge against him.
"Who told you! Wo Lanbei, or Qin Xishuang?!"
“…”
"They all said that, right?" Wei Wei sneered, "I recommend a book to you, Sense of Boundaries and Proportion. You and they both need to read it."
Looking at his leaving back, Gao Mengtang finally understood what Wolanbei meant when he said that Wei Wei "lived a twisted life".
Wei Wei would show kindness, offer help, and even make selfless contributions, but he would never let anyone get into his heart.
His body is a fine sieve, loaded with the truest self. Only those selves that he has filtered and thinks can be expressed will float to the surface.
"Mr. Blind, are you angry?" When Gao Mengtang was deep in thought, Wei Wei came back again, "Do you want to confiscate the "Moonlight Secret"?"
Gao Mengtang's hand was still pressing on the book, and he quickly let go: "I won't confiscate it. I'm not angry, don't take it to heart. Everyone has bad moods sometimes."
"The Tongxin vine will first randomly select a plant and hatch an adult. It will then parasitize a person, and after that, it will prefer to parasitize people with blood ties, and the whole family will form a symbiotic body." Wei Wei said, "Please protect He Lun and his family."
Gao Mengtang: "Thank you, I understand."
"During the parasitic process, Tong Xin Teng is the most vulnerable," Wei Wei continued, "When the second parasitic process begins, Tong Xin Teng will release a flesh-pink vine called [Umbilical Cord], which will suck the host's blood vessels..."
Once the blood vessels are connected to the Tongxin vine, there is no escape. He will be dragged into the vine and turned into a human face of the Panxin Flower.
During the parasitic process, if the umbilical cord is broken, both the person inside the Xin Teng and the person being parasitized will die.
If you want to save people, you can only choose one of the two.
Kill the Tongxin vine, and anyone who has been entangled by it will die.
Or if you kill the person being parasitized, the Tongxin vine will use up its life to save that person until it dies of exhaustion. People who have been entangled by the Tongxin vine can survive.
After Wei Wei finished speaking, he took the Secret of the Moon and went upstairs. Gao Mengtang sent a message to the members, hiding the consequences before and making up a random reason, asking them to protect the Helun family.
The boat is still rocking.
Gao Mengtang was thinking absentmindedly.
Wei Wei's sister was parasitized by the Tongxin vine. This monster likes to eat...
What a terrible way to die! On top of the grief of death, there is also unbearable humiliation.
No wonder Wei Wei kept his mouth shut.
Not long after, Tu Cheng ran out from the cab: "The sea condition is not right, there will be waves. This wave is weird, it must be a monster..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the second half of the text was swallowed up in a deafening explosion. White waves rushed into the living room and Gao Mengtang's clothes were instantly soaked.
The boat was shallow and unstable, and the wave pushed the bow up, with half of the stern plunging into the water. If Tu Cheng hadn't been quick to hold onto the pillar with one hand and Gao Mengtang with the other, he would have fallen into the ocean.
"Be careful! Behind you!" Tu Cheng shouted.
Gao Mengtang looked back and saw that the surging white waves blocked his view. The stern of the boat shook, pushing away a stream of water. Then he suddenly saw clearly what was hidden in the sea water.
Hundreds of white fleshy worms, each half a meter long, struggled to crawl onto the boat. Their bodies were dotted with lumps that vaguely resembled a human face.
The human faces were wriggling, their features twisted and deformed, some in terror, some in misery, as if they were trying to crawl out of the insects. Their mouths were small holes, opening and closing as they emitted weak screams.
A white fleshy worm had already crawled onto Gao Mengtang's leg, and the insect's mouthparts popped out from its protruding human-faced mouth...
"Fire! Make a fire!" The boat stood almost vertically in the waves, and Tu Cheng grabbed Gao Mengtang's arm tightly.
How to start a fire! The sea water rushed over wave after wave, and the fire would be put out immediately.
The situation was critical. Pegana didn't care about anything else. He rushed over and barked at the swarm of insects.
In his Maltese form, he called out in a coquettish voice, but the effect was not compromised.
The swarm of insects struggled violently as if they were electrocuted, curling up into balls. The human faces on their surface protruded and screamed even more shrilly. Gao Mengtang took the opportunity to kick them into the sea.
When Tu Cheng heard Pegana's cry, he let out a shrill scream that was not a sound that a human could make. It was completely like a large animal.
He let go, the boat tilted to a 60° angle, and both of them slid down together.
Salty liquid poured into the nasal cavity.
Gao Mengtang suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to learn how to swim...
A soft object held them both up. Under the rolling white waves, a huge dark green object emerged.
He Luo held the hundred-meter-long ship on his head. One of his tentacle gently put Gao Mengtang and the unconscious Tu Cheng back into the cabin, and the other nine tentacles turned into propellers.
Carrying the yacht, running at full speed.
