Chapter 520 Monsters in the Factory
When introducing individual 1, the screen specifically displayed some photos.
It was a monster that looked similar to a human, naked, with gray skin, a bat-like head, and a tall body.
It looks extremely disgusting.
[Individual 2 is a type of worm-like creature, with different sizes, shapes, and uses, and is classified into individual 2-A, individual 2-B, and individual 2-C. ]
[Genetic analysis of individual 2 shows that the subgroups are closely related, and their most recent common ancestor is Homo sapiens. It is speculated that individual 2 did not evolve naturally, but its true origin remains unknown. ]
[Instance 2-A is very similar to a lamprey, but its internal structure is more similar to that of a leech.]
[In the abdomen of each individual 1, there is an individual 2-A, usually in the area where the stomach and large and small intestines originally belong.]
[Instance 2-B is a worm-like creature that lives in the gaps in the walls of the Vampire Factory.]
[The Vampire Factory appears to have carved out a system of tunnels within the building for its activities.]
[These slender creatures will enter the body of Instance 1 (mainly through the mouth or rectum), but do not seem to cause any harm or discomfort to the host. Instances 2-B are believed to be sharing nutrients within the vampire factory, absorbing nutrients from Instances 1 who have recently obtained food.]
[Instance 2-C is a tendril-like, building-connected tentacle creature that, like Instance 2-B, resides inside the Vampire Factory building.]
[These tendril-like tentacles are composed primarily of neurons, and are generally connected to the spine of Subject 1 when inactive.]
[Instance 2 only displays intelligence (including actions resembling prayer) while connected to Instance 1-C. Instance 1 is considered inactive while connected to Instance 2-C.]
[During active periods, Instance-1 instances will leave the Vampire Factory and actively hunt living humans - non-human animals and dead human bodies will be ignored. Active states do not occur in all Instance-1 instances at the same time (although active states generally occur between dusk and dawn)]
[They don't hunt in groups, but usually wander in the forest. They use the poison hooks on the wrist bones of both hands to inject an anesthetic substance into their prey to paralyze it.]
[After the prey is subdued, instance 1 will open its mouth and expand its throat, relaxing its jaw.]
[Instance 2-A will crawl out of Instance 1, wrap around the prey's neck, and begin feeding with its toothy funnel-shaped mouth.]
[Individual 2-A will first inject digestive enzymes into the prey to liquefy organs, muscles and bones, and then inhale the fluid. This process lasts 20 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the prey.]
When introducing these three worm monsters, the screen showed three photos respectively.
They look more disgusting than each other.
[Residents near the Hoa Forest have always known about the existence of the vampire factory, but the containment committee did not recognize it as an anomaly until 1916 soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian First Army disappeared during the Transylvanian Campaign in August 244.]
[Due to the impact of World War I, containment actually began in early 1919. Due to the interruption of food sources, the instance 1924 began to enter a dormant state in December 12.
Several incidents between 1932 and 1977 led to the discovery of the great monster behind the Vampire Factory.
When the screen said this, a video began to play. The video was taken from a very high altitude, from where one could see several islands that seemed to be at different distances from each other, with a major earthquake occurring.
[At the same time, earthquakes occurred on several islands. The crustal environment where these islands are located is very rare for earthquakes to occur. Moreover, they occurred at the same time even though they were far apart. This made the containment unit realize that something was not simple.]
[As we investigated further, we discovered that many strange things happened during this massive earthquake.]
[Some residents reported that many vampires emerged from the ground during the earthquake. The local media reported this as a superstitious incident to cover it up.]
[In some places, a huge snake was seen emerging from the ground and eating people everywhere.]
[In other places, it is said that many huge tentacles appeared in the cracks and sucked hundreds of people underground at once.]
[In some places, earthquakes occurred at night, and locals claimed to have seen a group of pale-faced monsters attacking.]
[In short, all these rumors appeared during this strange earthquake, which made the shelter association wonder what the problem was.]
【And based on observation and analysis, this may be related to the vampire factory. 】
[Later, the shelter sent a group of elite troops to explore deep inside the vampire factory. At that moment, everyone realized how huge the so-called factory was underneath. It was like stepping into a bottomless pit, as if entering another world.]
[There were densely packed individuals 1 and 2 everywhere underground. After the task force entered, they were immediately attacked violently, resulting in the annihilation of the entire task force.]
[Later, the shelter sent out a stronger team of several hundred people to head underground. After many people were sacrificed, they finally figured out the situation underground.]
[We have always thought that the monsters in the vampire factory are just two types, Instance 1 and Instance 2, but in fact, they are not. They are all products of the biggest monster behind the scenes, codenamed Instance 3.]
[Instance 3 is a massive organism whose core is located deep beneath the Vampire Factory. Its true size is difficult, if not impossible, to determine, but its root-like appendages extend over an area of approximately 660000 square kilometers.]
[Instance 3 secretes a corrosive substance, which it uses to carve tunnels throughout the Balkan Peninsula.]
[Instance 3 is intelligent and controls Instance 2 and Instance 1 by releasing complex pheromones or physically interacting with Instance 2-C.]
[Individual 1 entity (through the cooperation of individual 2A and individual 2B) actually acts as a forager for individual 3. ]
[It has been discovered that indigenous residents of several remote villages in the Hoa Forest area would resort to human sacrifices to the Vampire Factory to mitigate seismic activity]
[All the activities of the monsters in the vampire factory are to hunt for food for individual 3. When individual 3 cannot eat enough, it will cause a major earthquake, carry out a large-scale massacre, and drag the people on the ground into the underground.]
[Therefore, in order to delay the activities of individuals 1 and 3, the villagers around the Huoa Forest would regularly sacrifice living people to them. The source of these living people was not only the villagers, but also the surrounding tourists. This is why there are so many disappearances in that area.]
