Chapter Ninety-Seven: Gluttony and Flies


After the sedative injection, Mariner fell into a long slumber and woke up in the early morning of the next day.If it weren't for the hunger on an empty stomach, Marliner probably wouldn't have woken up so quickly.When Marliner opened his eyes, he heard the rumbling sound in his stomach.I'm so hungry. ”Marliner was eager to drink two bowls of warm porridge right now.While Marliner was thinking about all the delicious foods, Dr.

Rebecca came into the room with a bowl of egg custard.Yo, wake up, I'm guessing you're hungry too.Come, eat something. ”Dr.

Rebecca first put the egg custard on the table, then helped the weak Marliner to his feet, and scooped up some egg custard with a spoon for Marliner to eat.The egg custard is sprinkled with shrimp skin to add a bit of salty flavor to this monotonous egg custard.The egg custard is just the right amount of warmth, and when you enter it, it turns into a liquid texture and slides down your throat, forming a wonderful match between the soft and glutinous egg and the shrimp skin.Marliner devoured it in one gulp.Dr.

Rebecca fed all the custard to Marliner and said, "Okay, eat well."

You lie down for a while longer and have the strength to go out. ”With that, Dr.

Rebecca left the infirmary with the bowl.After eating the custard, Marin lay down on the bed and rested until he had some strength and left on his own.The Arkham Welfare Home is back to its peaceful days, but in reality there is a turbulent undercurrent.Every night Marliner would dream, and in his dreams there were all kinds of strange images in his dreams.His mental state is declining day by day, and the dark circles and bags under his eyes are terrifying, and if he appeared on the street with this appearance, he should be regarded as a recluse.The biggest change that has occurred in Mariner is his appetite, and he thinks about eating all the time, including in his daily classes.Marliner seemed to be a different person when he ate, he could eat the amount of food for four or five people, and his stomach was like a bottomless pit, and the more he ate, the more he didn't see his stomach pouch bulging.Except for three meals a day, it seems that only food can arouse Mariner's interest, and the rest of the time is in a state of depression.Due to the large amount of food he ate, and without the corresponding consumption, Mariner began to gain weight within a few days.In just three days, Marin's weight doubled.On the night of the third day, Mariner got out of bed because of hunger, and he had already eaten all the snacks he had saved.With great effort, he struggled to move his legs, and walked down the stairs to the small warehouse behind the cafeteria.The hunger in his stomach overwhelmed Marin's sanity, and he pushed open the door of the pantry and began to stuff all kinds of different foods into his mouth, whether it was vegetables or meat, as long as he could swallow it without chewing.It wasn't until most of the food in the warehouse was consumed by Marliner that Marliner suddenly rolled his eyes and foamed at the mouth.He began to feel a feeling of nausea instead of the hunger he had before.He unconsciously bent down and spat out a large amount of food that he had not had time to digest before.The food landed unevenly on the ground, mixed with Mariner's gastric juice and bile, giving off a disgusting fishy stench.Everyone in the orphanage was awakened by the stench, and just as everyone was pinching their noses and discussing where the smell came from, a change occurred.Buzz buzz buzz. ”Hey, where is the sound of bees?

”Angus felt that something was wrong, and it was as if a large bell was ringing in his mind, alerting him of impending danger.Angus put on his clothes and shoes and walked out into the hallway.He saw a scene that could make a person with a dense phobia faint on the spot.He saw a dark cloud outside the window, floating in the air at an incredible speed towards the location of the Arkham Welfare House, and when he looked closely, the cloud would change its shape all the time.Wherever the clouds passed, it was like locusts passing by, and all vegetation and life were devoured.Angus struggled to keep his eyes open, observing the menacing clouds with the help of the faint moonlight.The dark cloud was the source of the buzzing sound, flies that had taken months to count.Angus realized that the unknown source of his heart was this dark cloud, and immediately ran in the opposite direction of the dark cloud.He shouted, "Run!!

If you don't run, you're going to die!!

”The fear of the unknown made Angus's stuttering problem at this time actually cured, and he ran forward frantically without looking back after shouting.The flies flew towards the Arkham Orphanage like tigers that smelled flesh.The dense flies smashed through the glass in the Arkham Orphanage, and the glass was completely vulnerable to the impact of the flies, shattering into slag and falling to the ground.Each fly has two compound eyes, and within each compound eye there are more than 4,000 small eyes, which are able to observe every movement present.The flies act like an army, and through their keen observation, a subset of the corresponding targets are attacked by their members.The turquoise compound eyes reflected a seeping light in the moonlight, like rust on a copper pipe.They dispersed like condensed clouds and flew like arrows.It was a rain of arrows of death.The people in the orphanage understood the seriousness of the incident and began to flee the shelter in a hurry, but by this time it was already a step too late.The flies that are good at flying have arrived in the courtyard and begun their feast.The flight of an arrow is the birth of a white bone.They frantically open and close their wand-like jaw whiskers, nibbling at the fragile ones with a pair of hooked lip flaps at the ends of their beaks.It only takes a few seconds to easily take away a living life.Any resistance is futile, and in the face of sheer numbers, even one or two from the wooden slap will not help.Mama Karma panicked and arranged for the children to leave the home first, but in vain.Some children who see things going wrong hide in places that they think are safe, such as under the bed, in the closet, etc., but the beating of their hearts and the fluctuations in the air caused by their breathing are sensed by the delicate hairs on the flies and feed back where they are.Desperate cries and cries of fear are reflected in the Arkham Orphanage.Angus didn't dare to look back, he had even heard the humming sound getting closer and closer, and he was afraid that when he turned back, he would see the image of purgatory on earth.As the humming sound drew closer, Angus was almost about to give up, but just in time a small river with a rushing water appeared in front of him.He took a deep breath and jumped into the river, making a splash.Although the river is not wide, it has a depth of about five meters; The murky waters of the river kept Angus open, and he used his instincts to dive to the bottom of the river.Angus pinched his nose and closed his mouth tightly, the breath he had just inhaled before entering the water was the key to saving his life.
