Chapter 579: Pollution Exists

Come, eat something.

This sentence was what Zhang Jie's father said to that lump of monster, treating this thing as a child, which is really a strange task.

Today is his last day performing this task; once the task ends, he can happily take the reward and go home.

"After finishing this job, I won't take on such tasks again."

Zhang Jie's father set up a rather ominous flag, then looked at the lump not far away that was obediently nibbling on a corn cob, suppressing his fear as he reached out and touched it.

Although the sight of coaxing and patting this lump's head was strange, for the mission and for his life, as a senior investigator he could still manage it.

Don't let this little thing's obedient appearance fool you; in reality, it has already eaten three people.

This little thing's perception of emotions seems highly sensitive; this time, there were three investigators together, he counts as one, and the other two have already been eaten.

One relied on his seniority, blatantly displaying that feeling called disdain; he thought that his protective gear could hide his expression of disgust, but obviously he failed.

During the last feeding, that lump seemed unable to endure that feeling called disgust any longer; its tentacle tightened around the other's arm, emitting a strange tone.

Then.....

Then it was suddenly flung away by the startled investigator, who pulled out an abnormal gun-like form and aimed it at the target; the scene became extremely dangerous for a moment.

Even so, there was actually still a chance to ease things, but the problem was that the other party ultimately, for some unknown reason, still took action.

With a bang, what disappeared was this investigator's life.

As for the other one, seeing his colleague's death generated fear, and he ultimately lost control and was subsequently eaten.

And Zhang Jie's father only shows warm feelings involuntarily when he thinks of his own few silly kids.

"The three brats at home saved my life....."

Just as he was lost in thought, the tentacle tightened around his arm, and his father's heart leapt up to his throat.

"I.... remember... perception..."

"What do you want to say, little thing?"

The father swallowed his heart hard down into his stomach; no matter what, as long as he didn't lose control, there would be no problem.

"I... taste... remembered...."

"Emotion...."

He couldn't understand what was being said, but the father still managed to suppress his inner emotions, instead mustering courage, taking a deep breath, and placing his other hand on the tentacle.

"Next time when catching someone, don't hold so tight; it's easy to scare people."

"..... known....."

It seemed the thing truly understood his words; the other party actually loosened its tentacle, and the father raised his eyebrows, unsure whether it was because he had been contaminated or because the thing had genuinely changed, but he felt it was becoming more and more normal.

"Damn.... my brain's not normal, contamination is off the charts..."

"I'm leaving, remember! No eating people!"

Who knows if it was a brain cramp or what, but the father dropped that line before leaving, and the tentacle that had just loosened suddenly tightened again.

"..... remember..... remember...."

The other party's language system hadn't fully formed yet; facing the words it wanted to say, it couldn't fully suppress them, and when it got halfway through, it really couldn't continue, so it ultimately let go of the father.

Watching his figure gradually fade away, the lump opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, but in the end it still couldn't utter anything meaningful.

But, there are some things she kept in her heart......

In the end, the father didn't become a sacrifice to whatever flag; he returned safely, bringing a hefty reward, truly having made a trip from Ghost Gate Pass.

Finally, he reported the observed characteristics to his superiors, for example, that the thing seemed to possess some ability to cause emotional loss of control, and that as long as one didn't attack it, there wouldn't be too much danger, and so on.

(I'm leaving, I'm a bit busy today, didn't finish, will add soon)
