Around the villa, shrouded in an eerie atmosphere,

the air itself seemed to have solidified, growing so heavy it was difficult to breathe.

The girls’ bodies were no longer simple existences, but had become the very personification of terror and despair.

Their skin had taken on an unnatural, ashen-white pallor,

like remains that had slumbered in the deep sea for a millennium, bloated and twisted from being steeped in the waters of time,

yet they miraculously remained uncorrupted, revealing a bizarre beauty that defied all logic.

Their hair was no longer silken smooth,

but was tightly entangled with seaweed, shells, and even unknown aquatic creatures,

forming indescribably chaotic masses.

Droplets of water slid slowly down the strands of their hair, each one like a bead of chill drawn from the abyss,

and as they dripped onto the ground, they sent out invisible ripples.

These girls looked as though they had just broken free from some forgotten body of water,

bringing with them the stench of stagnant water and an unknown aura that inspired dread.

Their mouths hung open unconsciously, emitting waves of low, strange cries.

The sounds were a mixture of pain, despair, and some unnamable desire.

They echoed in every corner, making everyone present feel their scalps tingle with fear.

On their paper-white faces, their eyes were vacant and lifeless, yet they seemed to be searching for something.

Was it a craving for life, or a fear of the unknown?

Their limbs were no longer under their own control.

Instead, they thrashed about wantonly like the tentacles of an octopus, each movement seeming to tell a story of endless pain and struggle.

As Si Haowen slowly moved out of the villa,

these girls, drawn by an unseen force, followed him in a dense mass,

using their hands and feet to crawl along the villa’s walls, slithering out in an unbelievable fashion,

like a terrifying giant python woven from life and death.

"Come now. Don’t you all like me? Become a part of me, and we can be together forever."

Si Haowen’s voice was deep and magnetic.

His eyes, one looking left and the other right, spun wildly in their sockets, as if two separate worlds were colliding, releasing a heart-stopping energy.

The smile at the corners of his mouth widened until it nearly tore his cheeks apart. It was a smile filled with both madness and temptation, enough to send a chill down one’s spine.

What was even more horrifying was that when Si Haowen spoke,

the voice was not his alone. It was mixed with the whispers and cries of countless young girls,

as if their souls were imprisoned within his body, joining together to let out this desperate call.

And the girls connected to the lower half of his body began to laugh along with him.

It was a twisted, soulless laughter that chilled the hearts of all who heard it,

as if the entire world was being devoured by this terrifying power.

"That’s my daughter, Feifei! How did she become part of this monster?

My daughter... my poor daughter."

In the open space before the villa, shrouded in an ominous aura,

a middle-aged woman dressed in lavish luxury brands stood frozen like a statue, staring blankly.

Her gaze was fixed on the appalling scene.

In that instant, her world collapsed. All her reason and fortitude crumbled to dust.

She let out a piercing shriek that tore through the sky and shattered the quiet of the scene.

It was filled with such despair and pain that it felt like a sharp blade stabbing into the heart of everyone present.

The shriek came to an abrupt end, replaced by the heavy thud of the woman’s body as she collapsed,

her eyes shut tight, her face pale as paper, her breathing faint.

She had clearly been overwhelmed by the unimaginably horrific sight and had fallen into a deep faint.

In the depths of her consciousness, those once warm and beautiful memories lay scattered like broken shards,

especially those of the apple of her eye... her daughter with the sweet smile and clear eyes.

But now, that same girl had appeared before her in a horrifying state.

Her body was terribly bloated, her skin ashen, as if she had just been fished out of a fetid sewer,

having been steeped for countless ages yet miraculously not rotted away.

Even harder to accept was that this seemingly dead body still retained some sign of life,

writhing unconsciously,

and was tightly connected to the centipede-like form woven from the bodies of countless girls that made up Si Haowen’s lower half.

It formed a picture that was both grotesque and cruel.

The middle-aged woman’s heart was filled with unspeakable grief and anger.

She could not understand, much less accept, such a cruel reality.

"My daughter, my daughter... is in there too!"

"This is all your fault, Chu He!

If you hadn’t just stood by and watched, how could my daughter have been fused with this monster?

She’s become a part of it! Give me back my daughter, you butcher!

You’re no better than the monster’s accomplice!"

A man, his face a mask of pure, unadulterated rage, was practically bristling with fury.

He clenched his massive fists, wanting to land a vicious punch on Chu He,

and even charged forward with the intent to kill.

Two members of the Defense Team hurried forward to stop him,

but a gentle force directly blocked their path.

Before the Defense Team members could react to their astonishment,

in that heart-stopping moment, Chu He’s figure flickered like a phantom.

He casually reached out one hand and effortlessly seized the man by the throat, as if snatching a trivial wisp of wind.

Fear washed over the man’s face. His eyes went wide with disbelief and despair.

He never would have expected to become a sacrifice in this horrifying feast in such a sudden and unexpected way.

Chu He’s movement was swift and decisive. As if tossing aside a useless sack of sand,

he mercilessly threw the man toward the massive monster formed from countless young girls—

a living, horrifying "centipede."

The air was thick with the stench of death. The man’s screams, interwoven with terror,

were cut short the instant he touched the "centipede’s" body.

The girls’ limbs—pale, long, and seemingly fragile—were in fact as cold and sharp as blades.

They shot out to wrap around the man’s body, tightly gripping every inch of his skin.

The hands tore through his clothes, sinking into his flesh. Their touch was no gentle caress but a cruel violation,

like the sharpest icicles of winter.

They plunged mercilessly into the man’s body, each thrust accompanied by his heart-wrenching wails.

As time passed, the man’s cries grew fainter and fainter until they disappeared completely, replaced by a suffocating silence.

The girls’ limbs did not loosen their grip. Instead, they tightened, as if they had a life of their own, greedily sucking the warmth and Life Force from the man’s body.

Finally, when the last spark of life faded from the man’s eyes,

the girls revealed satisfied smiles—a cold and grotesque contentment.

Then, they opened their mouths. Their teeth, though not sharp, were enough to tear flesh, revealing their hidden, bloodthirsty nature. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Bite by bite, the man’s body was brutally torn apart. His life’s blood mixed with the cold water, splattering across the ground and creating a shocking tableau.

Meanwhile, the girls on the lower parts of the "centipede’s" body

greedily licked up the blood and chunks of flesh from the ground. Every one of their movements was filled with contempt for life and a craving for death.

In that moment, the air was saturated with the heavy stench of death and decay.

"Anyone else want to come over?" Chu He asked, his lips pressed into a thin line, his expression cold.

Some of the other emotionally overwrought parents had also wanted to rush forward,

but after witnessing Chu He’s decisive and deadly action, they immediately shrank back.
