Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Mutation
Just after Ratman Derig finished reporting this series of intelligence.
Dumps beckoned slightly, “Come here…”
Derig immediately approached with his head lowered.
As soon as he got close.
Whoosh… It seemed as if a knife edge made of liquid sliced across Derig’s body.
Drip, drip.
Derig’s entire left arm fell to the ground, turning into a puddle of seawater.
Slimy tentacles were left on Derig’s wound, causing him intense pain and making his whole body jerk and twitch in agony, but he gritted his teeth hard, refusing to scream.
About ten seconds passed.
The tentacles growing from the wound slowly dissolved into seawater.
Bloodshot eyes filled Derig, a shadow of consciousness steadied, he knelt in front of Dumps, “Thank…Thank you, Lord Six Fingers, for sparing my life.”
“You are the contact I chose… You should report everything to me as soon as possible, even at the cost of death.”
“If we die, that’s fine. I’m just worried about putting you Lord in danger. There won’t be a next time, I promise to meet the duties of the ‘contact’.”
Determination and means.
These are the necessary elements to control such small organizations.
Han Dong silently watched all this, thinking that Dumps did nothing wrong.
“Mark all the locations where you ship cement on the map.”
“It’s already prepared.”
Derig handed the pre-prepared map to Dumps.
The areas where they ship cement are completely scattered and unrelated, making it impossible to gather more information through this distribution…
However, Han Dong and Dumps still, faintly, understood something.
“These are just the locations for your organization to ship cement… can you gather all the locations for other organizations to ship cement?”
“Well… that would be a bit difficult… After all, many organizations are hostile to us…”
“No matter, collect all the information you can gather and mark them all on the map.”
“Alright!”
Just as Derig, covering his severed arm wound, was about to exit through the doorway…
Cough, cough, cough!
Suddenly, Derig clutched his mouth and began to cough violently without warning.
Pitter patter…
Small stones were constantly being coughed out from Derig’s mouth, scattering all over the floor.
A completely different sort of exuding aura of pollution began to spread from Derig’s body… it was previously completely undetectable.
Han Dong quietly noted this in his heart.
Derig’s coughing grew more severe.
When he turned around again.
Not only stones were constantly being coughed out of his mouth, but tiny stones were also overflowing from his nostrils and the corners of his eyes.
“Sir… Sir, save me…”
Just after he said this, a massive change occurred.
Whoosh!
A large amount of stone sprouted abruptly from Derig’s left arm stump.
The different kinds of stones were connected to each other by a dense layer of flesh.
When the grown stone had almost formed the shape of an arm, skin tissue finally grew on the surface of the stone… On the whole, it looked no different from a normal arm.
At the same time, Derig’s eyeballs were completely replaced by tiny stones.
Derig’s overall aura changed…he wasn’t Dumps’ loyal ‘contact’ anymore.
He opened his mouth.
A completely petrified tongue was spoken.
Stones kept falling out of his mouth as he spoke…
“Are you the person in charge here? You weren’t here the last time I came… I asked them not to reveal any information to anyone… I didn’t expect these rat pests to leak the secret.”
Obviously.
This Ratman, Derig was acted upon before his arrival.
As soon as he revealed secret, his body and consciousness would be forcibly taken over.
Wearing a pleasant smile, Dumps concealed his anger completely, “I’m willing to remain discreet about the cement transportation matter, I can personally take it up.”
Through such opportunity, the root source of the Secret Stone can be ascertained.
However, Derig who had already transformed shook his head, “There is no room for compromise, anyone who reveals the secret and those associated, all have to die…”
After saying this.
Derig raised his regenerated right arm and pointed his fingers at the two men in front of him.
Bang! The stone fingers built with stone were shot out like bullets…
Han Dong just wanted to make a move.
Dumps had already rushed out in the first instant.
Engaging in close combat.
This act was totally conflicting with the identity of a mage.
However, the aura emitted from Dumps was completely different from the usual.
Clearly, Dumps was totally angry.
The stone fingers that were shot hit a strange magic shield, and were completely absorbed after only causing a ripple on the surface.
Creak, creak!
Dumps directly used the sixth finger to take out a spear from the deep sea of another dimension.
A dark glow reached first.
Directly piercing Derig’s internal core stone, he lifted him into mid-air.
Before the alien consciousness that had invaded and controlled Derig faded away.
Dumps opened his mouth wide, sounding a kind of overlapped tone from his throat.
“I will overthrow all your plans… the blame is on you for messing with me.”
Whoosh!
When the spear was pulled out.
Derig’s body disintegrated, turning into a large number of stones scattered on the ground.
“Nicholas, use the power of your eye to help me… The ‘eyelines’ I painstakingly cultivated can’t all become other people’s tools.”
“Alright.”
Considering Derig’s condition.
Every civilian in the underground bar might have suffered the same ‘stone implantation’.
“Open Eyes”
Under the condition of Magic Eye Wide Open.
Indeed, he found that every person here was hiding a small, unnoticeable stone in their body, without any sign of pollution.
If it wasn’t for the Secret Stone event, Han Dong would have just considered it a common stone.
Once a certain ‘rule’ is violated, the stone in the body will begin to grow wildly.
In conjunction with Han Dong’s observation.
Dumps used his sixth finger to remove all the stones one by one.
When such a small stone was exposed to air, it would immediately grow a terrifying circular mouth filled with teeth, tearing at the nearest organic matter like mad…It was instantly crushed into powder by Dumps.
Han Dong silently observed all this, and after Dumps finished removing all the stones, he gave him his personal plan.
“Clearly, the ‘Demon’ corresponding to the ‘Secret Stone event’ has a completely concealed power, which can collect pollution in the form of a ‘stone’, and converge it completely without being discovered.
If every evil spawned by it carries the ‘stone’ inside the bodies of ordinary people, it would never be discovered during surface inspection.
Plus, there are many uncertainties about cement…
Share this information with the squad, let them interact with those organizations in the dark in pairs, mandatorily find out the locations where cement is shipped…
If my intuition is correct, by piecing together all the cement shipping points, we should be able to get a vital clue.”
Dumps nodded, “Deputy captain, just do as you said… However, you must ask everyone to be careful.”
