Chapter 7 - “Monster Office (6)"

The black liquid was only the size of a palm, truly small compared to the endless darkness inside the computer monster.

But the moment the corrosive liquid touched the darkness, sparks flew everywhere.

Sshhhh—

A sizzling sound echoed throughout the space and the flickering electric light inside the screen suddenly flashed rapidly.

BZZTTTT—

Leinster vaguely heard the monster's pained roar: "Ah! Ah! It hurts! It hurts!!"

The young man clicked his tongue as he slowly felt the darkness that swallowed him wriggled, as if alive.

The strange darkness flashed countless electrical currents, intending to block the sizzling black liquid.

However, the liquid quickly eroded a part of the darkness.

If Leinster could see the inside of the computer monster, he would see an even thicker darkness slowly "eating" away at the darkness flashing with electric current.

The rapid flashing slowed down and the entire rectangular screen shook for the first time ever!

Leinster could feel the electric current circling around his body slowly vanished.

Even the blue light from the screen dimmed, casting an eerie light on Leinster's smiling face.

Ah~ listen to that sizzling noise, the faint wail, the sound of...death.

The rectangular screen trembled more and more, the blue light from the screen flickering non-stop.

Zzzt! Zzzzt!

—Bad food! Bad food!

The screen shook violently and soon, Leinster felt a strong pushing force from deep inside the screen.

Pa!

Leinster's body that was already swallowed to the point of only leaving half a face and a few fingers left was suddenly thrown out of the screen with a huge force.

Swoosh!

The audience saw the computer monster suddenly spew out such a huge human being and dumped the human onto the table with a loud noise.

Smash!

Leinster's body hit the table and all the pain he didn't feel before suddenly came surging towards him.

"Ughhh!"

Leinster curled up and groaned, twisting his half-bloodied face full of unidentified mess.

His white clothes showed signs of tears and burns, dyed in thick red blood.

The skin beneath the clothes reddened with blisters, even turning charred black, with not a single part unharmed.

The arms and legs had its flesh and bones exposed, no different from a rotten zombie.

The visual was so gruesome that the audiences who were used to seeing gore images subconsciously covered their mouths and gagged.

[The hell! How is this bastard still alive with such a body??]

[Wait, why did the monster suddenly puke him out? This is impossible!]

[Look! The monster is shaking non-stop!]

Not only that, but the screen monster actually retched strange blue and black acid liquid onto the wooden table, instantly boring a hole onto it.

The screen monster weakened rapidly and the clear evidence was the limp potted plant.

The potted plant actually twitched its limp roots and the next second, all three roots came alive, stronger than ever.

Sensing the weakening of the force that subdued it, the potted plant waved its roots excitedly!

Then, it smelled the thick smell of blood in the air.

Desperately needing a nourishment, it immediately pounced on the severely wounded human on the table.

SWISH!

Leinster was still groaning in pain, thinking that he was about to die of pain when the wind blew sharply.

This time, maybe because he had just awakened or what, Leinster's five senses became sharper than ever.

His body reflex was also upgraded by one whole level.

The young man subconsciously stretched out his hand and he actually...caught one of the plant's roots with his bare hand.

Pa!

The charred, bloodied palm gripped the thin tree root like a steel clamp.

The vigorous tree root suddenly stiffened.

Before the other two roots could arrive, Leinster, still laying sprawled on the table, suddenly sat up and dragged the potted plant with all of his might!

"KREEEE!!"

In Leinster's ears, the potted plant's scream turned into: "Ahhh! How did you uproot me?!"

The weakened potted plant lost its solid support and it quickly got into a brawl with Leinster.

One of Leinster's legs fell to the floor and with a stable footing, Leinster actually dragged the potted plant even when its two roots were clinging to the table!

Screechhh—

Deep scratches appeared on the table, wood chips flew everywhere, some even almost stabbed onto Leinster's bloodied face.

But Leinster calmly tilted his head to dodge the wood splinters flying in the air, and with one powerful move—

He tossed the screaming potted plant into the screen that was still flashing rapidly.

Pa!

The moment the potted plant touched the blinking blue screen, a huge virtual mouth made of strange electric currents and coded suddenly popped up.

Chomp!

In a split second, the entire potted plant was sucked into the screen, its roots flailing helplessly in the air.

Crack. Crack. Crack.

A strange cracking noise sounded from the screen, followed by harsh whipping noises.

Smash! Smash!

The potted plant was incredibly resilient, still struggling to break free.

It whipped the computer screen with all of its roots, slowly pulling itself out of the severely weakened screen.

Amidst the crackling and whipping noise, Leinster's ears twitched ominously.

He heard a familiar cracking amidst the loud noise— but it wasn't from the table.

In the dark, Leinster briefly lowered his head and the next second—

The tile right below his leg tore open and a gaping jaw full of teeth pounced viciously.

Chomp!

"Woah!" Leinster subconsciously pulled his leg with a swoosh, barely missing the edge of the sharp teeth.

The sharp teeth caught nothing but air and it immediately squirmed restlessly!

This time, it didn't disappear like before but actually started to crawl towards the table legs.

Then...it gnawed on the table leg right where Leinster was sitting.
