Chapter 416 - 416 Nicole
Chapter 416: Chapter 416 Nicole
Squeak, Squeak…
Quite different from a normal forcible kiss.
Upon contacting the mysterious girl’s lips, four tongue-like hoses, dried and yet soft, immediately drilled into Han Dong’s mouth…
No danger.
The girl was simply thirsty and chose to suck Han Dong’s saliva.
Among alien races, this behavior was not considered intimate.
Considering the development of the plot and the usability of the girl, Han Dong let this action continue under the pretense of ‘friendship,’ until there was not a bit of saliva left in his mouth.
This act lasted a full five minutes, leaving everyone on the bus dumbfounded.
Moreover, the mysterious girl didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with it. She even deliberately took away the last bit of saliva when she parted from Han Dong, her expression cold and unchanged throughout the process.
Still, she seemed extremely thirsty.
Han Dong immediately took out two bottles of mineral water from his backpack, one to replenish his own water, and the other was handed to the mysterious girl.
What followed next, the girl’s drinking method, also startled Han Dong.
She swallowed the entire bottle in one gulp, then through her palm emerged a moist octopus mouth, separating the undigested plastic bottle from her body.
This scene put everyone on the bus on alert.
“Do… Do you have more?” This was the first sentence the girl spoke after getting on the bus.
There was a considerable amount of water reserve on the bus.
Han Dong immediately gestured to indicate.
Since it was Han Dong’s decision, the protagonist David didn’t say much…Moreover, they would be heading to the mountain area next, where they could refill water from the streams.
And so, twenty bottles of mineral water went down her throat.
[Detected favorability changes, your favorability with character ‘Nicole’ has improved from indifferent to neutral.]
“The value of these bottles of water is truly high…it actually led to an increase in favorability.
If favorability can change, it means it’s possible to establish a normal friendship with this girl…as long as it’s controlled well and doesn’t end up on the ‘Judas path’, it won’t affect the final outcome.
But…I still need to find an opportunity to explore this Octopus Sister’s true colors.”
The girl continued to stare out the window. After replenishing her water, she seemed to have no intention of leaving the bus.
To ensure no one irritated this girl on purpose during the journey,
Han Dong gathered everyone on the bus and gave a very firm statement:
“This girl might be our key to escape the mist.
In the following time, none of you are allowed to show any hostility towards her, and leave all the conversations with her to me.”
A cautious middle-aged man asked, “What if she wants to lead us to a monster nest and dispose of us all at once?”
“Frankly speaking, if the girl wanted to kill you bunch of weaklings…by the time she got on the bus, over half of the people would already be dead. She doesn’t need to lead us anywhere.
Also, keep driving on the mountain road…if a nearby stream is spotted, stop immediately to replenish water.”
David didn’t approve of the suggestion to replenish water, “We still have a lot of water, there’s no need to replenish here… not to mention, there might be unforeseen dangers in the wilderness.”
“What I want is a little danger. To show you weaklings the power I got from the Mexican grudge workers… besides, I need to hunt some small creatures to recover.”
The lie about obtaining partial special abilities from the ‘Mexican workers’ had long been spread among everyone through the protagonist David, the leader.
As a result, Han Dong had a special status, and even if he were to casually lash out at them, they’d endure it.
“I’ll say it one more time! No one is allowed to show any hostility towards this girl, or else I’ll hack you with an ax!”
The vehicle continued on its way.
Even though they had left the small town, the mist remained relentless… it felt as if the entire world was covered in the mist.
Occasionally, some horrifying, never-before-seen monster silhouettes would flash by in the wild.
……
After giving all the instructions,
Han Dong went back to the back seat and tried to start a conversation again…of course, when faced with an alien lady, there’s no need to maintain the original persona, otherwise, it’d be a ‘car crash’.
“We must have seen each other in the parking lot behind the supermarket before, right?”
“Hmm…” This time, the girl, now rehydrated, nodded her head and made a low noise.
“Just call me Nicholas, Miss… May I ask your name?”
“Nicole…”
She seemed to rarely speak ‘verbally’.
It was a bit difficult for her to speak, to the point that seawater would flow out of the corners of her mouth and subsequently be absorbed by other parts of her body.
“You must come from a far-off place, don’t you? Why are you in our town… and as for water, isn’t it everywhere?”
“Water… different… essence. Your mouth’s water… has essence, otherwise, useless…”
“Essence…”
Han Dong kind of understood, the saliva produced in the Faceless Skull carried a different essence, which could supplement the energy she was missing.
“As for why I am in your… town, it’s because some… unruly believers summoned the void in strange ways.”
“Are you talking about those soldiers?”
“They are just one of them… all over the world, in every corner, there is a group of unruly believers… almost summoning the void at the same time.
Otherwise, normal summoning would only affect a local area.
But… this time is different, seems like there’s a conspiracy. You need to help me…”
“Hmm? Something like that is happening…”
“Mist” the film itself only briefly mentioned the problem of the origin of the mist, Han Dong did not expect such a big conspiracy hidden in it.
With organized cult activities taking place globally, unified summoning resulting in an apocalypse…it was truly shocking.
Han Dong couldn’t help but recall some past events, “Looking back now… Ms. Carmody, who I preemptively dealt with in the supermarket, was probably one of the cultists.
This girl stopped the bus forcibly, firstly to replenish the essence from me and secondly to ask for help… After all, she had already seen me outside the supermarket before and noticed something different about me.”
At this moment, Nicole kept talking:
“At the mountain top… in the soldiers’ camp! There is an… abnormal believer, who obtained power that should not belong to him through the summoning ritual.
We must kill… him! Destroy their ritual! Otherwise, the balance… will be broken…”
