Nicole

Crunch crunch...

It's completely different from a typical forceful kiss.

The moment his lips touched the mysterious girl's, four dry yet soft tongues, like flexible tubes, immediately entered Han Dong's mouth...

There is no danger.

The girl simply chose to suck Han Dong's saliva because she was thirsty.

Between different races, such a thing cannot be considered intimate contact.

Considering the plot development and the girl's potential for exploitation, and without compromising their 'friendship,' Han Dong did not stop the action until the girl's mouth was completely drained of saliva.

The two men's actions lasted for a full five minutes, leaving everyone on the bus stunned.

Moreover, the mysterious girl didn't seem to care. When she parted ways with Han Dong, she even deliberately took away the last drop of saliva. The girl's expression remained indifferent and unchanged throughout.

However, he still seemed very thirsty.

Han Dong immediately took out two bottles of mineral water from his backpack, keeping one for himself to replenish his fluids and handing the other to the mysterious girl.

Next, the girl's action of drinking water also surprised Han Dong.

It swallowed the entire water bottle in one gulp, then grew a slippery octopus mouth from its palm to separate the indigestible plastic water bottle.

This scene alerted everyone on the bus.

"Is... is there anything else?" This was the first thing the girl said after boarding the car.

There was a fairly good supply of water on board.

Han Dong immediately gestured.

Since it was Han Dong's decision, the protagonist David couldn't say much... Besides, they could replenish their water supply in the stream area when they went to the mountain area later.

And so, a full twenty bottles of mineral water were consumed.

[A change in affinity has been detected. Your affinity with the event character "Nicole" has increased, changing from indifferent to neutral.]

"These bottles of water are really valuable... they actually increased my favorability."

Since the level of affection can be changed, it means that it is possible to establish a normal friendship with this girl... As long as you can control it and not go down the "Judas Route", the final outcome will not be affected.

However... we still need to find an opportunity to find out the real story behind this Octopus Girl.

The girl continued to stare out the window; having replenished her water, she seemed to have no intention of leaving the bus.

To ensure that no one deliberately caused trouble and angered the girl during the journey.

Han Dong gathered everyone in the car together and gave a very firm statement:

"This young girl might be the Joints for us to escape the fog."

From this time forward, none of you are permitted to show her the slightest hostility, and all conversations with her will be handled by me.

One of the more cautious middle-aged men asked, "What if she wants to lure us to the monster's lair and then kill us all at once?"

"To be honest, if the girl wanted to kill you bunch of weaklings... most of the people on the bus would already be dead when we got on. There was no need for her to lead us anywhere."

In addition, continue driving on the mountain road... If you find a nearby stream, stop immediately to replenish your water supply.

David was not in favor of replenishing the water supply, saying, "We still have plenty of water, and there's no need to replenish here... Besides, there might be unexpected dangers in the wilderness."

"What I want is a little danger, to show you weaklings the power I gained from the Mexican vengeful worker... and I also need to hunt some small things to recover."

The lie that he obtained some supernatural abilities from the ' Mexican workers ' had already spread among everyone through the protagonist David, the leader.

Therefore, Han Dong held a special position, and everyone tolerated his occasional insults.

"I'll say it again! No one is allowed to show hostility towards this girl, or I'll chop you all down with an axe!"

The vehicle continued moving.

Even Though leaving the town, the fog remained thick... giving the illusion that the whole world was shrouded in fog.

Occasionally, the shadowy figures of terrifying monsters never seen before can be seen in the wild.

Make sure you give all the necessary instructions.

Han Dong returned to his seat in the back and continued trying to start a conversation... Of course, when facing a young lady from another race, there was no need to maintain the original persona, otherwise he would 'crash'.

"We should have met in the parking lot behind the supermarket, right?"

"Hmm..." This time, the girl, now fully hydrated, nodded and made a soft sound.

"Just call me Nicholas, miss... What should I call you, miss?"

"Nicole ..."

They seem to rarely speak with their 'mouth'.

It is slightly difficult to pronounce words, and Seawater may even drip from the corners of the mouth, which is then absorbed by other parts of the body.

"You must come from a very far place, right? Why are you in our small town... And water is everywhere, isn't it?"

"Water...is different...it contains essence. The water in your mouth...has essence, otherwise it wouldn't be useful..."

"Essence..."

Han Dong roughly understood that the saliva produced in the Faceless Head carried a different essence that could replenish her missing vital energy.

"As for my presence in your... town, it's because someone... some unruly cultists are using strange methods to... invoke the void."

"Are they those soldiers?"

"They are just one group... There are groups of unruly believers all over the world... calling upon the void at almost the same time."

Otherwise, ordinary calls will only have an impact on local areas.

But... this time is different, it seems like there's some kind of conspiracy. You have to help me..."

"Huh? There's such a thing..."

The film "The Mist" only touches on a small part of the Mist Origin, Han Dong never expected that such a big conspiracy was hidden in it.

Organized religious groups around the world are collectively calling for and triggering the end of the world... It's truly horrifying.

Han Dong couldn't help but recall some past events, "Thinking back... Mrs. Carmody, whom I disposed of Oldest One in the supermarket, was probably one of the believers."

The young woman stopped the car for two reasons: first, she wanted to replenish her essence from me, and second, she needed something... After all, she had met me outside the supermarket beforehand and noticed something different about me.

At this point, Nicole continued speaking:

"At the mountaintop... in the soldiers' camp! There is an... abnormal cultist who, through a summoning ritual... absorbed power that shouldn't belong to him."

He must be killed! Their ritual must be disrupted! Otherwise, the balance... will be broken...
