Chapter 344: Shoggoth
Hearing the strange noise outside.
Hayakawa Aki immediately reacted, pushed open the room door, and rushed out.
Himeno, seeing this, followed him immediately, and soon the two of them arrived near the staircase.
This was originally the place where everyone encountered the Devil entity with a human head. After Kobeni unintentionally killed that Devil entity, because she was too frightened, everyone casually threw the corpse of this creature into the adjacent guest room.
But now it seems that this Devil entity with human heads was not killed but was continuously multiplying.
Originally, this thing was just a severed head cut in half, but now it has grown quite large, turning into a swollen mass of tumors, viscera, and human limbs tangled together. This thing was constantly wriggling, oozing a fishy, sticky, and rotten tissue fluid.
The 'bang' that everyone just heard was actually the noise made when this thing burst through the door.
"This thing... wasn't it already killed by Kobeni?"
Himeno was also stunned: "I've never seen such a bizarre form. What kind of Devil is it?"
"It looks like a Tiktok Devil."
While the two were puzzled, Fang Mo also slowly walked over from a distance.
"Tiktok Devil?"
Hayakawa Aki turned his head and looked at Fang Mo, asking with a puzzled face, "What is that?"
"Human beings... foolish humans..."New novel chapters are published on
At this moment, the Devil on the ground suddenly spoke. Numerous ugly and strange heads emerged from this pile of rotten flesh, resembling a cesspit. The heads intermittently said, "We... let's talk about a contract..."
"What contract do you want to talk about?"
Himeno asked.
"I want to eat that... the kid named Denji..."
The Devil on the ground said in a dry, hoarse voice, "Be it humans or corpses... let me eat them... then I will let all of you leave..."
"Denji?"
Hearing the Devil's words, Hayakawa Aki and Himeno exchanged glances: "Why him?"
Fang Mo, however, knew the reason. It was because Denji's heart is that of the Chainsaw Devil Pochita, a very special Devil. Therefore, both in Hell and in the human realm, there are forces that want to obtain his heart. The Eternity Devil they are encountering now is just a small matter; there will be even more terrifying entities appearing in the future.
However, knowing is one thing, Fang Mo had no intention of enlightening them.
"Probably because he's very special."
So he simply said, "After all, Denji is neither human nor Devil, nor is he a devil or anything like that."
"In other words, killing Denji would be advantageous for this Devil."
Hayakawa Aki originally did not want to kill Denji, so he simply nodded and said, "In that case, we should first think of a way to deal with it..."
As he spoke, Hayakawa Aki pinched his thumb, ring finger, and middle finger together, forming a gesture similar to the orchid hand, and then activated his ability towards the pile of rotten flesh on the ground: "Hmm."
However, the next second, nothing happened around him.
"Huh?"
Hayakawa Aki was momentarily stunned.
But in the next second, he subconsciously looked towards Fang Mo.
But Fang Mo's strength was already strong enough, so the progress of the materialization experiments was delayed due to his laziness.
There was no helping it; Steve's backpack, no matter how large, had its limits. Sometimes, Fang Mo would casually throw these items into a box, forgetting to bring them when entering a new instance. Over time, even he forgot what he wanted to materialize.
But this time, Fang Mo brought quite a few valuable items.
After all, the world of the "Happy Sawman" instance was about sudden and severe illness, and it would be a pity not to prepare some good tricks.
Just like this time.
Fang Mo plans to first study the miniature Shoggoth, as well as the statue of Nyarlathotep.
It's quite clear that these two items are imbued with the eerie style of Cthulhu, but in this world, they seem rather normal. After all, the Devils in this world also look quite bizarre, the kind that would cause a normal person to lose their sanity just by glancing at them.
Actually, this so-called miniature Shoggoth.
Fang Mo had already summoned it in the MC world before.
Upon examining the model, Fang Mo realized that this creature is probably from the AbyssalCraft mod, a mass of black tentacles covered in eyes. Although it's a 'miniature' Shoggoth, its model is still quite large, capable of swallowing a cow whole.
So, he casually stuffed it into an Ender Sword.
While he's free, Fang Mo decides to materialize this thing and give it a try.
With a thought, Steve directly handed the Ender Sword to Fang Mo, followed by a flash of white light. As the Ender Sword materialized, the Shoggoth was also released.
A burst of white light first appeared in front of Fang Mo.
Then, as the light dissipated, a huge mass of pitch-black, living slime appeared out of thin air.
Fang Mo observed.
And curiously examined the creature before him.
It was a massive, car-sized, black amorphous creature.
More than a liquid, its body seemed to be made of a kind of shiny black gel, like living petroleum.
This thing somewhat resembled an enlarged symbiote, very lively and agile. Its entire surface continuously churned and changed, with countless eyes forming and then disappearing into nothingness beneath its translucent skin. Only the hundreds of soft, cold, and sticky tentacles kept reaching out.
Fang Mo focused his gaze on the miniature Shoggoth in front of him.
And at the same time, the miniature Shoggoth seemed to be observing Fang Mo.
Before long, it extended a small black tentacle, tentatively trying to touch Fang Mo.
Seeing this, Fang Mo didn't think much of it and instead stretched out his own finger, lightly touching the creature's tentacle in mid-air.
"Squeak!"
Upon touching Fang Mo, the little creature suddenly made a strange sound.
"This thing"
Fang Mo was initially startled, then instinctively stroked his chin, "It feels quite cute"
Yes, although the Shoggoth described in Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is terrifying and sanity-shattering, Fang Mo found this creature quite adorable. It's like an enlarged version of some kind of slime, a big soft mass. Moreover, its call wasn't the "Tekeli-li" sound, but more of a squeaking.
Of course, there's also a most important point.
That is, Fang Mo can understand what this thing is saying.
And the sound it just made was probably calling Fang Mo 'master'.
