I ate the strongest artificial fruit

Chapter 9 The Torn Darkness

The sound of footsteps jingled in the empty corridor.

The zombies lead the way at a very fast speed.

Smail followed step by step, entered a downward slope, and continued downward until he came to a dark corridor.

This black corridor is dark and damp, and a musty smell hits the nostrils immediately after stepping down. Two stinky gutters stretch forward side by side. Above are large iron doors that are stronger than the outer cells. I don’t know what’s inside. It was closed, but there was a dull and strange scream from inside, as if the mouths of people who wanted to struggle were covered, or something terrible was stuffed.

Smail glanced at the sewage flowing around him. There seemed to be some strange soft-bodied creatures wriggling in the black-smelling stinking water. There were not a few of these things, but because the light was too dim, Smail didn't I can clearly see what's inside. Judging from the size, it looks a bit like a loach or an ordinary small fish, but it seems to be smaller.

This gloomy black corridor made people feel an indescribable oppression, and Smail raised some vigilance. If the situation was not right, he was ready to enter the fighting state immediately.

"Doctor, maybe...subordinates shouldn't...ask too much, but...why do you want to go out at this time..." The glasses zombie asked again.

Smail ignored him and continued to follow without answering.

The spectacled zombie glanced back at Smail, but didn't ask any further questions.

Here, the zombie with glasses slowed down a bit. The ground here is too wet and slippery, and it is easy to fall if you walk a little faster, so you can only slow down a little.

"Ah! Please...don't..."

Another scream suddenly came from the iron door next door. The guy's voice just appeared, but was quickly blocked, followed by a sound of struggling and a chilling muffled cry.

As we continued to walk deeper, the light was too dim to see the ground clearly. The lampshade here was covered with a thick layer of black mud-like disgusting dirt, and the already dim yellow light became even more blurred.

At this time, the lampshades above their heads were completely covered with black dirt, and they could no longer see any light.

Smail could barely follow behind him by feeling, but his eyes were already shrouded in darkness. This feeling of darkness surrounding him made the eyes of those who were deeply involved in it dizzy, and they could even feel that the darkness had become As if there was substance around me, I felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

"Is there no light in front?" Smail asked in a low voice.

"Doctor, you are so strange today...you know... Her Ladyship doesn't like light..." the glasses zombie said with a bit of eccentricity.

Smail was slightly taken aback, and said lightly:

"Just ask, how far is it?"

"Immediately... I'll be there soon..." The eye zombie said with a half-smile.

Smail hesitated for a moment, but continued to walk forward with this zombie. Since Smail was promoted to the realm, he felt that his physical strength had become extremely abundant, and a wonderful power surged in his body, making him I also felt unprecedented confidence and desire to fight.He didn't care that he would be discovered, and if he was discovered, he was ready to force his way out.

Although he knows that there is still a big gap between his own strength and Erlen's, this terrifying confidence now makes him have an inexplicable confidence in his own ability, and because of this [laughing wildly], he wishes he could fight further enhance the strength.

In the dark space, there are only the rhythmic sound of footsteps one after the other, and occasionally a strange rustling sound can be heard, as if hundreds of dense things crawling from the surface of the water Come out, and then quickly moved to other places, the repetition of monotonous black made Smail even feel a little drowsy, and he could only force himself to widen his eyes.

At this moment, Smail suddenly felt that he seemed to see the surrounding environment clearly for a certain moment. This feeling was very strange and strange. It seemed that there was light around him, but the scenery he saw was black and white. Yes, like a picture drawn with a pencil.

This feeling was fleeting, he continued to follow behind, the idea of ​​wanting to see the surrounding environment clearly appeared in his mind, at a certain moment, this phenomenon happened again, accompanied by a faint burning pain, he unexpectedly saw clearly again A surrounding scene.

Is it related to the devil fruit?

Thinking of this, Smail was overjoyed. After all, he has now become an ability user. Although his memory does not have any introduction about ability users being able to see at night, his memory reminds him that devil fruit can greatly improve physiological functions. , so that the abilities of all aspects of the human body are enhanced.

That being the case, if the power of the fruit is concentrated in the eyes, it may also be able to enhance one's eyesight.

Thinking of this, Smail immediately began to try to concentrate his power on his eyes. He is only level 19 now, and his ability to control devil fruits is not even a beginner, but he found that he just had such an idea , I suddenly felt that I could control the method of manipulating the power of fruits with ease.

Strands of fruit power pulled out from the core of his devil fruit, and then immediately gathered in his eyes, forming clusters of energy vortexes, his eyes felt burning and stinging again, tight Then, the surrounding scene suddenly became clear.

Under the effect of the power of the fruit, although he couldn't see the colorful scene, he could see the black and white image. Everything around him became a scene similar to a sketch, and even appeared inside the iron gate. A hazy black shadow, obviously, if his devil fruit level is raised to a higher level, maybe he can really achieve night vision.

or……

To be precise, this kind of power is somewhat similar to knowledgeable domineering!

But when Smail gradually saw the surrounding situation clearly, he suddenly felt that the hairs all over his body were about to stand on end.

It turned out that the strange moving sounds I heard just now came from groups of strange black tongue-shaped creatures. These soft-bodied creatures looked a bit like leeches in my own world, but they were much bigger than leeches, and they were covered with It is full of disgusting patterns, and there is something like an eye in the middle of the pattern. There are too many of them, covering the walls and iron gates. Smail turned his head and found that there were also people gathering behind him. with this dreaded flower leech.

"What's going on here? Why are all these leeches gathered here?" Smail asked in horror.

"Hey...doctor...maybe it's because of...the blood on your body! Such...delicious...taste...even I can't help but drool..." The zombie with glasses walking in front licked He licked his tongue and said.

"What are you bastard talking about?"

As Smail said, he clasped the back of the zombie's neck with glasses, and slapped him down to the ground, then rode up.

There was a creaking sound of bones breaking from the back of the spectacled zombie, and the spectacled zombie turned his head with difficulty, but was very surprised and said:

"Doctor... this is Her Majesty's... children..."

At this moment, Smail suddenly felt several leeches jumping off the wall and pounced on him.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding leeches also became active all of a sudden, frantically surrounding him.

Smail let go of the spectacled zombie, and quickly cut to death the few leeches that rushed over first with the scalpel in his hand. At the same time, those leeches that he cut off quickly split into two independent surviving individuals, each with an eyeball.

Smail's white coat was torn apart, and the blood holes on his body that hadn't fully healed were quickly targeted by these disgusting guys. His body was covered with leeches, and he was also attacked by these lurkers in the dark. devour.
