I was transported from Lobotomy Corporation to another world.

The three of them went into the passage on the right, and Reed handed Noelle, whom he was carrying, to Bodie.

Reid is in charge of the fighting; constantly holding onto Noelle isn't a long-term solution.

Noelle didn't say much, and Bodie carried her on his back and continued forward.

After turning right, Reed noticed that there seemed to be fewer pigmen.

To be precise, there were almost no traces of pigmen on the right side; instead, there were many green rats.

Its entire body was green, and upon seeing Reed, instead of running away, it prepared to approach him.

Reed kicked a green-furred rat that approached him to death; the rat was several times larger than a normal rat.

After seeing Red kick one of the rats to death, the other green-haired rats all had red eyes and rushed towards him.

The green-haired rats that were gnawing on scraps of pig-man flesh or human corpses all rushed toward Reed.

Reed was quite surprised by these rats, regardless of whether they were monsters or not.

But it's already quite unusual that the rats not only aren't afraid of strangers, but actually attack in groups.

Red didn't even need a knife; he simply stomped on the rats that came near his feet, one by one.

A mouse climbed onto Red's ankle. Red reached out, grabbed it, and then tossed it against the wall, turning it into mouse sauce.

Moreover, Reed's armor passive triggers after five seconds; the rats, after taking damage, stomp in place a few times before vomiting blood and dying.

Bodie, who was behind, kicked the last rat into the water. "These rats bit me! Am I going to get sick?!"

Bodie's words reminded Red of his right hand, which had been submerged in water by a large green worm and injected with bacterial toxins.

Now, even when his right hand is still, it trembles slightly. The toxins have already been injected into his body, and the armor can no longer provide any help.

And it's accompanied by an invisible and intangible itch, as if there's an itch originating deep within the flesh.

The right hand, responsible for wielding the knife, was also somewhat stiff, and Reed felt a beat too slow with each attack.

Reed chose to tell Noelle about it, and Noelle seemed a little anxious after listening. "Reed, this is no small matter. We need to go out quickly and find a professional doctor or healing mage for treatment."

"Although I don't know what immediate consequences it will cause to my right hand, it's never good to delay any longer."

Reed nodded to indicate that he understood. Noelle wanted to help Reed, but given her own situation, she could only think about it.

As the three ventured deeper, Red could clearly sense that there were more and more rats.

As they went further, the number of these green-haired rats increased, and Reed realized that these rats were practically like cockroaches.

If a cockroach can survive a hard slap, then these green-haired rats, some of which have lost half their faces, are still alive.

There was even one with half its body hanging down and its intestines dangling, showing extremely strong vitality.

Furthermore, these rats were initially wary of Reid and his companions, but it seems they stopped because there was no food around.

The rats began to rush towards Reid and his two companions. Noelle, witnessing this and smelling the stench in the air, nearly vomited.

Red looked at the swarms of rats without showing the slightest fear.

It's a mouse anyway, just a little bigger.

And his armor died instantly from a single passive attack; sure enough, Reed let the rats crawl all over him.

After waiting for five seconds, the rats that were hostile to Red instantly bled to death.

However, some rats are hostile towards Bodhi and Noelle behind them, which prevents the armor's passive ability from attacking these rats.

Red turned back to help, kicking all the rats that were near Bodie into the water.

Even so, some rats still climbed onto Bodhi and gnawed at him.

Enraged, Bodhi grabbed each object accurately, then slammed it against the wall with brute force, causing a burst of blood to erupt.

【after a while……】

The hostile rats had been almost completely wiped out, and as the three of them moved forward, they saw many bones lying along the sewers.

At first, I thought they were human or pig-man bones, but as more and more of them appeared...

Reed crouched down for a closer look, then said, "These are all little kids' bones."

Noelle: "Ah! So those bones were also from children?!"

Reid nodded. "Not only are the bones small, but the skull is also small; it's easy to tell it's a child's remains."

Noelle: "But there seem to be even more ahead of us, it's not just one or two unique children's remains!"

Bodie thought, "With so many children's remains, could there be some kind of monster out there that eats children? Maybe it deliberately lured the children into the sewers to devour them?"

Reid said, "But it's obvious these bones were eaten by the rats here."

"Almost none of the rats here are malnourished."

The three continued forward, since going back would be too much of a waste of time.

Even if you're going down a path to the bitter end, at least see what the end looks like.

As the three continued forward, they saw the skeletal remains of children lying by the roadside where they stood.

The flowing sewage was blocked by the children's remains, and the slimes in the water were stuck together with the remains in one place.

With almost every step Red takes, there's a chance he'll step on a bone; Bodie has no idea what so many children's remains represent.

The place felt rather eerie and reeked of a foul stench, and Noelle clearly couldn't accept the scene.

Noelle could barely tolerate pure gore, but this eerie and unsettling atmosphere, along with the strange sounds in the background...

And anyone who spends too much time in complete darkness would probably go crazy; only someone like Red could withstand it.

Noelle gave Reed a thumbs-up, feeling a sense of security looking at Bodie beneath her and Reed in front of her.

As the three of them moved forward, they encountered more and more bones, and then their steps suddenly came to a halt.

It's not that we've reached the end, but there's a small house ahead...

Although it's called a small house, it's just an unsightly dwelling built with wooden planks and some stone materials.

Furthermore, you can see through the gaps in the wooden planks that the interior space is quite large; although it's short in width, it's very long.

If there are houses in front, it means that a wise creature might live there.

But none of the three had any intention of knocking on the door. Living in such a place, and even building a small hut specifically for it, was already quite unusual.

Furthermore, this place is teeming with green-haired rats, and the sheer number of them is terrifying; there are even intelligent beings living here.

All three assumed the house was inhabited by monsters similar to pigmen, but just then, the dilapidated door in front of them was pushed open.

"Who are you?!" The wooden door was pushed open, and a strange person dressed in colorful floral clothes walked out.

Noelle was somewhat surprised that the person in front of her was actually a human.

He wore pants that resembled a clown costume, a colorful floral top, and a red hat.

The strange man in the colorful floral clothes pointed his flute at Reed and his two companions with his right hand and said, "I'm asking you a question! You came here specifically to follow me, didn't you?!"

Noelle noticed that the strange man in the colorful floral clothes was agitated and wanted to say something to soothe him.

But the strange man in the colorful clothes wouldn't listen and continued, "You want to capture me for the bounty?! I haven't done anything wrong! Is it wrong for me to take revenge?!"

"I should have sped things up and made the whole surrounding area infected with the plague!"

"Let every country be infected with the Black Death! I will take revenge on everyone! I don't care if you come to arrest me!"

"You'll all become food for the rats anyway!"

Reed: "So you're the one who killed these children? You fed them to these rats and then used them to spread disease?"

The strange man in the colorful floral clothes: "Yes, that's right! But I didn't want it to be like this! I used to be a rat catcher!"

The Piper: "But it doesn't matter anymore, I'm called the Piper."
