Seeing such a huge red centipede crawl out of a living person's throat left me completely numb.
That scene felt even more horrifying and unsettling than seeing an evil ghost.
Goosebumps rose in waves, and the itchy feeling all over my body was intensely uncomfortable...
I had seen in my master's notes that insects raised inside the human body were generally called "gu."
This giant centipede was probably a type of gu insect.
Its appearance alone didn't necessarily mean it was actually a "centipede."
The giant centipede had crawled halfway out when it stuck out its head and looked around. It wriggled near the actress's mouth a few times.
It seemed terrified of the sunlight and wanted to retreat, yet couldn't go back in.
The actress simply craned her neck, staring wide-eyed at it as dry "urk, urk, urk" sounds kept coming from her throat...
The middle-aged woman was too scared to make a sound. She covered her mouth and dared not speak.
Half her body was hidden behind the wardrobe.
This should be the thing my master had told me to kill.
I edged a little closer.
After wriggling back and forth at the woman's mouth for a while, the giant centipede suddenly turned to look at me.
Its red eyes gleamed, and its long red antennae swayed from side to side in my direction.
It seemed to have marked me as its target.
Then it lowered its head, and the densely packed legs along its body began to move.
With a "sizzle, sizzle," it crawled out of the actress's mouth, down her neck, and along her body toward me at incredible speed...
The centipede was as long as two pairs of chopsticks.
It was hard to imagine how such a huge red centipede had survived inside her stomach.
