A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 2043 - 1376: The Threat Emerges

"...... Indeed, youth."

"You’re young too."

"Of course, I’m a youthful and beautiful teenage idol detective, forever 17!"

But just as Duanmu Huai and the idol detective were chatting idly, the situation suddenly changed.

Duanmu Huai saw the successful young man open his mouth, and then sothing imnse, thick, and slimy like a snail’s body erged, directly entering the girl’s mouth.

"Mmm...... mmm......"

Being suddenly attacked, the girl was also greatly startled. She desperately tried to struggle, forcefully resisting to distance herself from the successful young man. However, he held her tightly, completely preventing her escape. At the sa ti, thin tentacles erged from his nostrils and ears, stabbing towards the girl!

"Hey...... isn’t there sothing wrong?"

"Leave it to !"

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai was shocked internally, and then swiftly flashed into motion. In the next mont, Duanmu Huai, a burly man, sprang from behind a lamppost thinner than his forearm, grabbed the extended "tongue" of the successful young man, and forcefully pulled it out of the girl’s mouth. Then, he swung a punch backhandedly, knocking the successful young man back, crashing heavily against the wall.

At this mont, under the illumination of the alley’s streetlamps, Duanmu Huai could finally see the boy’s appearance clearly!

He had his mouth wide open, a twisted, enormous tentacle cramming his mouth and incessantly writhing. The boy’s two eyeballs also protruded like a snail’s eyes from his sockets, staring dead straight ahead.

Beneath the translucent skin flickered faint green light, and various-sized mouths appeared on the surface of the splitting tentacles, with sharp teeth visible inside! anwhile, it emitted a twisted, horrifyingly strange scream.

"Tekeli—li! Tekeli—li!"

"Co on and die!"

Anyone else would probably be scared to faint upon seeing this, but Duanmu Huai wasn’t afraid at all. He tightened his fist, roared angrily, and charged directly at the successful young man.

But just as Duanmu Huai swung his punch, the successful young man’s body suddenly puffed up, and then a mass resembling soft rotten mud jumped out of his mouth, hurtling towards Duanmu Huai.

Facing such an attack, Duanmu Huai naturally was unafraid. He raised his right hand toward the filthy mass lunging at him—a dark tentacle ford at that mont, tightly entwining around the opponent’s body, and in the blink of an eye, completely engulfed it in shadows.

anwhile, the idol detective hurriedly ran over.

"What happened? What on earth is going on......?"

Before finishing the sentence, the idol detective saw the successful young man collapsed on the ground, utterly dumbfounded—right then, before them, was nothing but the young man’s human skin; his flesh and bones seed to have completely vanished, leaving only a skin sprawled limply on the ground, making it hard to believe one’s own eyes.

"What...... on earth is this?"

Seeing this scene, the idol detective was completely bewildered.

anwhile, Duanmu Huai frowned deeply, staring at the human skin before him, silent.

It seems the situation has beco quite problematic now.
