[Makeup]

No need to sit in front of a vanity; just maintain a standard standing posture.

Gust did not handle it personally. Instead, he summoned the "Tongue Monster" that follows him like a shadow, which he often uses to influence the outside world and for frontal attacks.

The outside world's understanding of Gust is mostly in this tongue monster form, even Luo Di, who hadn't formally met him before, only knows him in this form. Very few know what he truly looks like.

The Tongue Monster itself is quite mysterious, possessing top-tier mimicry within the entire mid-level Corner circle.

Its enormous tongue serves as its head, capable of licking away any pheromones about itself. Currently, it is using this tongue-head to slowly lick Luo Di.

The sensation is completely different from Gust's licking,

If Gust's licking is about "bringing" tongue fungi's penetration and healing,

Then this Tongue Monster is about "taking away" all information on the individual's surface.

"Senior, what is this tongue monster of yours? Is it an internal-external symbiote like Lebeite?"

"I don't have any symbiote; this is my pet, called Big Tongue!"

"Pet? Bought it?"

"Why don't you try buying one for me? My tongue has a genetic defect, a congenital deformed forked tongue. The moment I got promoted and became a monster, the Corner fixed this defect.

The extra tongue on the right half was stripped away, turning into Big Tongue.

Back then, it was only small, about the size of a frog, and loved sticking to my shoulder.

It's quite picky; it only eats saliva and it has to be saliva secreted by a quality or special tongue.

With my feeding, it slowly grew into this form,

Currently, it has reached its growth limit, and any further change might need me to use "qualification."

Big Tongue is naturally skilled at concealment and can unconditionally perform rapid disassembly and reassembly within the domain of saliva.

His tongue can not only take away pheromones but also flesh and soul."

Though Gus is usually fond of bragging and spouting various true or false statements, Luo Di could tell that the origin of the Tongue Monster is probably true.

It is precisely because of Gust's congenital tongue deformity that he has a dedicated and pure development in this field.

The so-called defects in the human phase could perhaps become unique in the world of monsters.

The licking finished.

Luo Di felt a strange sensation, as if a layer of invisible saliva membrane wrapped around his entire body, locking up all "information" from external expression.

Self-assessment is unaffected, but nothing can be reflected in the mirror.

And because Luo Di is inherently Gust's "closed disciple" and has a deep relationship with Wu Wen, this makeover doesn't require meticulous checking.

"Our mutual observation isn't affected?"

"Yes, it's all licked by one tongue, and the saliva layers isolating pheromones don't affect each other…it makes the upcoming infiltration action more convenient."

While the two were chatting,

Teacher Guo's voice came:

"The City of Sin has sent back news, a suspected avatar of the Outer God has descended, and two assault teams are trying to contain it. Now is the best time to act.

According to the map, we'll go directly to the special pier set up by the Outer Realm, to see the situation there."

The infiltration team officially set out,

Due to Katayama's storage and Hua Yuan's parasitism, the apparent operation consisted of only four people.

They pushed the door and went out.

When Luo Di walked out of the wooden house, he looked back sharply, finding there was no wooden house behind him, only a spiral-textured tree trunk.

During their fast trip to the dock, they unexpectedly found a few monsters from different Corner regions in the woods.

They were mostly scratching a part of their bodies, all heading towards the dock.

The so-called "dock" is actually nine wooden boats moored at the coast,

A strange Ferryman was standing there, conducting identity checks on arriving monsters.

A white paper mask,

A faint breath.

"Angel Envoy…"

Upon seeing this Ferryman, whose face seemed to have been vertically sliced with a knife, Luo Di immediately detected the "Shaping Divinity" on them.

Just like Xiao Xun at the Golden Casino,

the body experienced divinity reshaping to become like this, as the essence of being human is gradually extracted from the root.

The nine Ferrymen are essentially one, collectively responsible for the preliminary screening of external monsters.

Gust quickly took an interest in this novel matter, and his main tongue extended outside his mouth, licking through the air.

He seemed clearly able to taste the pheromones emitted by the other party, completing an individual analysis via his gustatory nerves.

"Is this what the Angel Envoy is?

This guy has been granted a divinity that doesn't belong to the Corner, like a scalpel performing 'structural alienation' on them.

The divinity content is low, and it comes at a price.

Not only is the body restructured, but the essence of the monster will be gradually forsaken. The longer it lasts, the more likely it will foster divinity worship, turning into a complete minion.

I wonder what the tongue tastes like, I really want to slurp it!"

While the two were conversing at the back of the team,

Teacher Guo, who was leading, said softly, "Wu Wen, can you imitate it?"

"I can... but I might not be chosen."

"What's the risk of exposure?"

"15%."

"That low?"

"I've learned some new things from following Luo Di to Hell. Even if something goes wrong, Teacher Guo, you can still 'reset', can't you?"

"Give it a try. If we can directly take their boat over, it will save us a lot of trouble. The entire ocean is polluted, and the probability of exposure if we forcibly cross is about 20%."

"Okay, Teacher."

Wu Wen left the team alone, going behind a tree trunk.

Just a second later, her appearance changed, her clothes disordered, her nails mismatched in length, constantly scratching at the dense holes on her neck.

Without any sense of discord, she quickly blended in with the other infected monsters that had gathered here.

The other three members of the team stayed aside, quietly watching Wu Wen's performance.

She deliberately chose a line with the fewest people for the wooden boat, being the last one to undergo inspection.

Thin breaths seeped out from beneath the white paper, gently blowing into the holes on Wu Wen's neck, without giving direct instructions to board or leave.

The Ferryman seemed to notice something amiss, leaned in closely, tore off part of the white paper on his face, revealing a bloodied face full of holes.

Teacher Guo had already made a counterclockwise rotation gesture.

The next second,

the white paper was placed back on the face, indicating to board the boat.

When Wu Wen stepped onto the sparsely populated wooden boat, the three who were in invisible mimicry also stepped on simultaneously.

From an observer's perspective, it was as if Wu Wen boarded the boat alone, but her weight seemed unusually heavy, making the wooden boat sink significantly.

However, such a small frame with heavy weight is still common among monsters.

The Ferryman did not notice any issues, sitting at the stern, tearing off the white paper.

With his breath, gusts of strong wind blew from the holes on his face, propelling the boat towards the open sea.

The Corner Ocean originally came from replicating the Human World into a normal sea, at most with some aquatic monsters active in it.

In essence, it was still normal seawater,

but the "ocean" they were crossing now was clearly abnormal, the water extremely turbid and even somewhat viscous.

Although the visibility was very low, everyone could feel there was something in the water, and a lot at that.

Ah! A scream suddenly came from the neighboring boat.

A monster, selected by the Ferryman, suddenly went mad, scratching all over its body, and immediately fell into the sea, vanishing without a trace.

Luo Di didn't have time to see what was happening, when he caught a glimpse of something crawling onto their wooden boat, along with a faint popping sound.

Like soft fins slapping against the boat, lots of them.

Looking down,

a swarm of "tadpoles" had climbed up the edge of the boat.

About the size of normal tadpoles.

Completely black, with small perforated structures on their surfaces, they secreted a colorless, odorless mucus.

They had two webbed "hands," capable of crawling.

After crawling onto the boat, these tadpoles swiftly targeted the members on board.

Luo Di and others, being in mimicry, were not recognized, but Wu Wen, disguised as an infected person, became one of the targets.

Tadpoles quickly crawled onto her body, searching for the infected holes on her. Splish! The soft bodies of the tadpoles fit snugly into the holes, inhabiting them.

Not just one,

but a multitude of tadpoles filled them, with others lingering in the vicinity.

The itch intensified, Wu Wen scratched more vigorously, but she couldn't break the tadpoles open.

A scream came,

someone couldn't hold on! Scratched too hard and accidentally broke open a tadpole.

The fluid marked him, causing other tadpoles to swiftly see him as a hostile target.

Nibbling from within,

no matter how he activated his abilities, or tried to rid them, he couldn't. These tadpoles were countless, far more than he could imagine.

Until he couldn't endure any longer and fell into the sea, becoming food for millions of tadpoles.

Luo Di followed the corpse, gazing again at this ocean.

He suddenly realized something,

this was no ordinary ocean, rather a breeding ground for the descendants of a certain entity... once these tadpoles fully matured, the consequences would be unfathomable.

Knowing the invader was only the "One," yet could spawn such a massive offspring group in a short period.

It seemed that in the ocean's depth, one could already see some massive beings with tails, limbs, and mouths.

Cold sweat dripped from Luo Di's forehead as he tried to imagine what kind of existence they would face, what the true essence of that Outer God's biology was.
