Chapter 578: Why are there no fangs?
Under the bright light of the operating lights, Hideyoshi Iwasaki was fixed to an ergonomic chair, his mouth even stuffed with something like a gag.
Was it to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide?
Hideyoshi Iwasaki said it was completely unnecessary, and he admitted that he didn't have the courage to use this method of "self-harming resistance."
The all-white decor around me, the pungent smell of disinfectant in my nose, and my current appearance...
This visually striking scene involuntarily reminded him of various famous "grilled kidney" scenes.
This made him even more desperate...
Along with this was an overwhelming anger.
Are you kidding me?! I am the direct heir of the Iwasaki family. Even a single hair on my leg is worth more than any of my body parts. How can you be so blind?
This is like dismantling a limited-edition Ferrari and selling it for scrap metal...
Are you looking down on the prestige of my Iwasaki family's heir?
Could it be that I have some rare Rh-negative blood type? Even if I do, they wouldn't just strap me to the operating table without even asking me anything, would they?
At least name your price!
The soft footsteps made Iwasaki Hideyoshi's heart tighten.
Because his head was fixed in place, he could only move his eyeballs with difficulty...
Then... he saw a little girl slowly walking over.
"Huh?" Iwasaki Hideyoshi was full of questions.
Shouldn't a group of ruthless surgeons in full surgical scrubs have walked in?
What kind of bizarre character is this little girl?
The little girl in front of me looked only six or seven years old and was quite cute, but she was bound by a white straitjacket...
Hmm? Restraint suit?
Wow~ Are these guys really that ruthless? They don't even spare children?!
He initially thought the little girl was just like him, a pitiful experimental subject on the operating table, but he soon discovered that things were not as he had imagined.
The little girl showed no fear or panic on her face; instead, she walked calmly toward him.
In such a setting and environment, the sudden appearance of a mysterious little girl, staring down at you with a blank expression, creates an indescribably eerie feeling.
"Waaah~" He struggled, wanting to ask the little girl something, but could only make whimpering sounds.
"We can begin," came Old Hu's voice from the loudspeaker.
The little girl looked up at the direction of the monitor and pouted.
"Developing a clan is a very harmful activity, let alone targeting such weak, ordinary humans."
"If it weren't for the boss asking me to cooperate with you, I wouldn't have agreed to such an excessive request..."
Old Hu: [Is...really? That must have been very kind of you...]
Iwasaki Hideyoshi didn't understand the deeper meaning of their conversation, but that didn't stop him from recognizing a reality.
This little girl is one of them, and is some kind of "special tool" they exist to do something to her.
Family members?
This overly dramatic and childish title carries a hint of unease.
Hey! Could this guy be some kind of progenitor of vampires, trying to give me the Embrace?
In addition, this mysterious base has excessively high security standards and biochemical protection levels.
There's also the little girl's indifferent tone when she talks about "ordinary humans," and the straitjacket she's wearing that's clearly meant to protect her from dangerous creatures...
Summarize and analyze all the known conditions at hand.
In that brief moment, Hideyoshi Iwasaki had already imagined a fantasy creature drama series in the mind of the mysterious little girl with her condescending attitude...
Tension, fear, disbelief...
In the end, I even started to feel a little bit of anticipation.
Yes, yes, even a "book of prophecy" exists, so it's not surprising that this strange world has more "fantasy creatures," right?
Isn't a little girl and the progenitor of vampires the standard pairing?
Don't let their young age fool you, they might have lived for hundreds of years!
While it's unclear why this fantastical creature appeared in a captured state in an ancient Eastern country instead of a Western castle, Hideyoshi Iwasaki commented that these are minor details...
In the comics, the progenitor of vampires was actually a Japanese!
I knew it was bizarre that someone would dismantle a limited-edition Ferrari and sell it for scrap metal.
So it turns out they didn't want to dismantle and scrap me, but rather upgrade and remodel me?
……
When Xiaoyu saw that there was no sound from Elder Hu's side, she looked down at her "prospective family" again.
"Hmm? That's strange, why isn't it barking anymore?"
Xiaoyu stared at Iwasaki Hideyoshi, who had suddenly fallen silent, with some confusion.
Weren't you just making "woo-woo~" "woo-woo-woo~" noises nonstop a moment ago?
She had no idea that in such a short time, this man had completely reshaped her worldview...
"Hmm! Although he's a bit skinny, he's much braver than those humans who only know how to scream. Oh well, since it's the boss's order..."
She muttered a few words, then slowly bent down and opened her pink lips...
Hideyoshi Iwasaki's eyes lit up immediately, and he clenched his fist. Here it comes!
Sure enough!
So it really is going to bite me?
Look at this classic scene, look at this embrace that is full of déjà vu and ritual!
As the little girl drew closer, Hideyoshi Iwasaki stared wide-eyed at her increasingly near mouth, his heart filled with excitement and anticipation.
Even though they might become non-human and only be able to appear at night, becoming an immortal being isn't entirely unacceptable!
What's more, the one who gave him his first embrace was such an adorable little girl...
Various romantic manga plots unfold, and the Japanese teenager's initial resistance, fueled by his divergent thinking, crumbles instantly...
only……
Why don't they have canines?
Hey! You're not planning to bite me with those two little fangs, are you?
That's too blunt!
Will it hurt a lot?
Iwasaki Hideyoshi's doubts didn't last long; the next moment, his face turned from expectant to pale!
Two dark red, tentacle-like objects, with wriggling, forked clusters, unexpectedly and abruptly extended from the girl's cherry-like mouth, slapping against the sides of her lips.
Then, like two tiny hands, they slowly pulled the "body" out of the little girl's mouth and nose...
Iwasaki Hideyoshi: "..."
Staring at the bizarre, unidentified creature, about half the size of his palm, covered in a sticky substance and swaying with countless filaments, his eyes widened and his whole body trembled violently…
No, no, this art style is off!
This isn't some fantastical creature; it's clearly a terrifying alien!
The bright shadowless lights on the ceiling were somewhat dazzling, and the eerie creature overhead did not cast a shadow on Iwasaki Hideyoshi's face.
However, such horrifying images are enough to cause immense psychological trauma to ordinary people...
No...don't...
Don't come any closer!
As Iwasaki Hideyoshi stared in wide-eyed terror, the unidentified creature, as if possessing its own consciousness, wriggled closer to him and then inserted a tentacle into his forced-open mouth...
Then, the finger-sized tentacle, like a gecko's tail, detached from the strange creature's body and burrowed entirely into its mouth.
Iwasaki Hideyoshi felt a slippery sensation in his mouth, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head...
He finally understood why he had to wear a mask.
If he could choose again, he would choose to bite his tongue and commit suicide...
……
Ten minutes later.
"Ugh~ vomit~"
Having regained his freedom, Hideyoshi Iwasaki tried desperately to clear his throat, but even after scraping out all the bile, there was no trace of the thing that had entered his mouth.
The good news is that it is still intact.
The bad news is, I have some extra parts on my body...
Don't bother. My splitting offspring don't burrow downwards, they burrow upwards. Try scooping all the cerebrospinal fluid out of your mouth; maybe that will help.
The mocking child's voice echoed in Iwasaki Hideyoshi's mind, making him freeze.
His gaze fell on the little girl, and he couldn't help but retreat to the corner, his whole body trembling with fear...
"What...what exactly did you do to me?"
[It's nothing, just making you, a lowly being, a member of the great gods. As my first member, I bestow upon you the honor of dedicating the rest of your life to the leader.]
Xiaoyu did not speak.
But at this moment, Hideyoshi Iwasaki finally realized that the voice had been transmitted directly to his mind through something.
Or rather... it's that thing that just crawled into my mouth!
"What...what the hell are you?"
The thought of what had just crawled out of the other person's mouth filled Iwasaki Hideyoshi with fear.
Ghost thing?
Xiaoyu's face darkened.
How rude! Looks like I'll have to teach you how to respect your master first...
Before Iwasaki Hideyoshi could understand the meaning behind his words...
"Ah!!" A scream rang out.
Iwasaki Hideyoshi suddenly clutched his head and rolled wildly on the ground, his screams growing more and more agonizing...
"Ah~ No! What have you done... Ah! No... No... Ah~ I was wrong! I was really wrong! Forgive me~ Ah~ Stop it... Ah~ Please..."
Iwasaki Hideyoshi, writhing on the ground in pain, clutched his head and began frantically scratching his arms and body, as if something was gnawing at his flesh.
"Ah~ Stop... I was wrong... I'll do anything you ask... Ah~ Stop..."
The horrifying screams lasted only half a minute, but when the screams stopped, Iwasaki Hideyoshi, who had just been looking so respectable, looked like he had lost half his life.
He was panting heavily, his whole body was soaked in sweat, the veins on his forehead were bulging, his eyes were bloodshot and he looked like a madman. Even his own arms were scratched with deep bloody marks by his own fingernails.
"Spare...spare me..." He looked at Xiaoyu weakly, his eyes filled with pleading.
That delicate and lovely face, in his eyes at this moment, looked like a demon crawling out of hell.
The excruciating pain that had just pierced his very bones and struck his very soul felt like tens of thousands of ants crawling all over him, making him wish he could tear his own flesh and blood off.
What's even more terrifying is that despite such inhuman torture, he seemed to have lost even the right to faint, remaining incredibly conscious, as if the pain had been amplified countless times.
That brief half-minute felt like half a century to him…
He swore that even the most severe punishments in the world combined could not compare to the agony he had just experienced.
If possible, he would rather die than experience it again.
"Spare you? Then what should you call me now?"
Xiaoyu revealed her signature little tiger teeth, which gleamed with a cold light and were also somewhat cute.
But in Iwasaki Hideyoshi's eyes, it was a thousand times more terrifying than a vampire's fangs.
"Master...Master..."
