Chapter 520 Monsters in the Factory

When the screen introduced Instance 1, it showed some photos.

It was a monster that looked like a human, naked, gray, with a bat-like head and a tall body.

It looked particularly disgusting.

[Instance 2 is a type of worm-like creature, with different sizes, shapes, and uses, classified as Instance 2-A, Instance 2-B, and Instance 2-C. ]

[Genetic analysis of Instance 2 shows that the subgroups of the same type are closely related, and their most recent common ancestor is Homo sapiens. It is speculated that Instance 2 did not evolve naturally, but its true origin is still unknown. ]

[Instance 2-A is very similar to lampreys, but its internal structure is more similar to leeches. ]

[Each Instance 1 has an Instance 2-A in its abdomen, usually in the position that originally belonged to the stomach and large and small intestines. ]

[Instance 2-B is a worm-like creature that lives in the gaps in the walls of the Vampire Factory. ]

[The Vampire Factory seems to have dug a tunnel system in the building for its activities. 】

【These lanky creatures enter Instance-1's body (primarily through the mouth or rectum), but do not appear to cause any harm or discomfort to the host. Instance-2-B is believed to be sharing nutrients within the Vampire Works, absorbing nutrients from Instance-1 that has recently received food. 】

【Instance-2-C is a tendril-like, building-attached tentacle creature that, like Instance-2-B, resides within the interior of the Vampire Works building. 】

【These tendrils are primarily composed of neurons, and are generally attached to Instance-1's spine when inactive. 】

【Instance-1 only displays intelligence (including prayer-like gestures) while attached to Instance-2-C. Instance-1 is considered inactive while attached to Instance-2-C. 】

【While active, Instance-1 entities will leave the Vampire Works and actively hunt living humans - non-human animals and dead human bodies are ignored. The active state does not occur in all instances 1 at the same time (although the active state usually occurs between dusk and dawn)

[They do not hunt in groups either, and usually wander in the forest. They use the poison hooks on the wrist bones of both hands to inject an anesthetic substance to paralyze the prey. ]

[After the prey is subdued, instance 1 will open its mouth and expand its throat, loosening its jaws. ]

[Instance 2-A will crawl out of instance 1 and wrap around the prey's neck, and begin to feed with a toothy funnel-shaped mouth. ]

[Instance 2-A will first inject digestive enzymes into the prey's body to liquefy organs, muscles and bones, and then suck up the fluid. This process lasts 20 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the prey. ]

When introducing these three worm monsters, the screen showed three photos of each.

Each one looks more disgusting than the other. 【Residents near the Hoa Forest have always known about the existence of the Vampire Factory, but the Containment Committee did not identify it as an anomaly until 244 soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian First Army disappeared in the Battle of Transylvania in August 1916. 】

【Due to the impact of World War I, containment really began in early 1919. Due to the interruption of food sources, individual 1 entity began to enter a dormant state since December 1924.

Several accidents that occurred between 1932 and 1977 led to the discovery of the big monster behind the Vampire Factory. 】

When the screen said this, a video began to play.

The video's perspective is very high in the sky, through which you can see that several islands that seem to be far apart are experiencing major earthquakes.

【At the same time, several islands experienced earthquakes at the same time. The crustal environment where these islands are located is rarely earthquake-prone, and they are obviously far apart, but they occurred at the same time, which made the Containment Committee realize that something was not simple. 】

【As the investigation deepened, it was discovered that many strange things occurred in this huge earthquake. 】

【Residents reported that many vampires emerged from the ground during the earthquake. Local media reported this as a superstitious incident to cover it up. 】

【In some places, a huge snake was seen emerging from the ground and eating people everywhere. 】

【In other places, it was said that many huge tentacles appeared in the cracks and sucked hundreds of people underground at once. 】

【In some places, the earthquake occurred at night, and locals claimed to see a group of pale-faced monsters attacking. 】

【In short, all kinds of rumors appeared during this strange earthquake, which made the shelter have to wonder what the problem was. 】

【And according to observation and analysis, it was found that this might be related to the vampire factory. 】

【Later, the shelter sent a group of elite troops to explore the interior of the vampire factory. At that moment, everyone realized how big the so-called factory was underneath. It was like stepping into a bottomless pit, as if entering another world. 】

【There were densely packed individuals 1 and 2 everywhere underground. After entering, the task force was immediately attacked fiercely, resulting in the annihilation of the entire task force. 】

【Later, the shelter sent a stronger team of several hundred people to the underground. After many people were sacrificed, they finally figured out the situation underground. 】

【We always thought that the monsters in the vampire factory were only individual 1 and individual 2, but in fact, they were not. They were all the products of the biggest monster behind the scenes, code-named individual 3. 】

[Instance 3 is a massive creature whose core is located deep beneath the Vampire Factory. Its true size is difficult to determine, if not impossible to measure, but its root-like appendages extend over an area of ​​approximately 660,000 square kilometers. ]

[Instance 3 secretes a corrosive substance that creates tunnels throughout the Balkans. ]

[Instance 3 is intelligent and exerts control over Instances 1 and 2 through the release of complex pheromones or physical interaction with Instance 2-C. ]

[Instance 1 (through the cooperation of Instances 2A and 2B) actually acts as a forager for Instance 3. ]

[Indigenous people in several remote villages in the Hoa Forest region have been found to perform human sacrifices to the Vampire Factory to mitigate seismic activity.]

[All the monsters in the Vampire Factory are active in order to hunt for food for Instance 3. When Instance 3 is unable to eat enough, it will cause a large earthquake, massacre on a large scale, and drag people on the ground underground. 】

【Therefore, in order to delay the activities of individuals 1 and 3, the villagers around the Huoa Forest would regularly sacrifice living people to them. The source of these living people was not only the villagers, but also the surrounding tourists. This is why there are so many disappearances in that area. 】
