Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 1626 - 1624: Christmas Eve Nightmare (Cat Paw Smash Smash Smash Smash Smash Edition)

"Ladies and gentlemen, here’s this year’s most dazzling idol."

After bringing Yukina into the underground bar, Kawano cheerfully greeted everyone. Hearing his greeting, the men and women partying wildly on the dance floor all turned their heads. They had hair dyed in various colors and wore clothing that looked nothing like what respectable people should wear. The way they stared at the young girl was like wolves eyeing a lamb that had mistakenly stumbled into their midst.

This made the girl beside Kawano shrink back uneasily, but Kawano didn’t give her a chance to slip away. Instead, he reached out with a cheerful smile and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

"Don’t be afraid; these people are all my good friends, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, we’re good friends."

Hearing Kawano’s words, the others grinned, showing toothy smiles. Kawano then forcefully pulled the girl to sit on the nearby sofa, and soon someone brought over a drink.

"Come on, Miss Yukina, have a drink."

"This..."

"Don’t worry, it’s just wine. It’s impolite not to drink here."

"Well, if that’s the case, I apologize for the rudeness..."

Saying this, the girl picked up the glass and took a sip of the wine in it. Watching her, Kawano’s smile grew even brighter, and he raised his hand, waving it in the air.

"Alright, let’s start our PARTY!!"

Soon, deafening rock music began to blare, and the entire dance hall started to flash. Amidst the shrieks, the men and women resumed their dancing.

Meanwhile, the girl remained seated beside Kawano, who repeatedly urged her to drink. Although she tried to refuse, she couldn’t withstand Kawano’s pressure and had to drink from her glass. After a few songs, the girl seemed somewhat out of it.

"Hey, Yukina? Yukina?"

He gently pushed the girl beside him. Seeing her flushed face showing a bewildered expression, Kawano grinned, and at this moment, the people surrounding him also burst into laughter.

"Can’t handle it already, huh?"

"How embarrassing, and she’s an idol too."

"Boss, how do you plan to enjoy her?"

"This time, I’m planning something special."

As he spoke, Kawano showed a cold smile.

"In the past, those girls would cry and sob, and everyone’s tired of that, right? This time, let’s have this idol young lady beg us. Hahaha, that woman who presents innocence outside, kneeling before us... I really want to hear what kind of words she’ll use to catch our interest. I wonder how she’ll plead with us; this should be interesting."

"Hahahahaha."

And hearing this, the others laughed.

"Boss, that’s really cruel."

"But it’s really interesting. Do you think we should record it when the time comes?"

"Of course, we’ll record it. We can even sell it online. This chick must have a lot of fans. I wonder what they’ll do when they see this?"

"Hahaha, that’s not our problem."

Just then, another lackey-like man came to Kawano’s side, handing over a syringe. Kawano took the syringe, scrutinized it, and then squinted his eyes.

"How’s this stuff?"

"As per your instructions, Mr. Kawano, we increased the dose."

"Hahaha, now let’s just hope this chick doesn’t end up dead from our fun."

"If she dies, it’s no big deal. We can just dump her into Tokyo Bay, and I can start writing several articles about her from tomorrow—Star Idol Disappears, Star Idol Murdered. Could even make some extra sales."

"You’re really blinded by money!"

The crowd burst into laughter, and at this moment, the girl seemed to be stirred awake by their noise. She shook her head, groggily opening her eyes.

"Mr. Kawano...?"

"You’re awake?"

"Um... what are you doing?"

"An interesting game."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Kawano laughed again and grabbed her arm.

"Relax a bit; you’ll soon feel really good. We’ll send you to heaven."

"Heaven... huh? What...?"

Upon hearing this, the girl still seemed confused, but when she saw Kawano aiming the syringe at her arm, she immediately started struggling fiercely.

"Mr. Kawano, what are you doing? No... please stop! Help me! Save me!"

"Hahahaha."

However, faced with the girl’s cries for help, the people around them just laughed. They had played with countless women here, with some screaming for help and others attempting suicide, but what did any of this matter to them? After all, they were no more than powerless little girls.

"Stop struggling; no one is coming to save you. No, actually, in a bit, we’ll all save you... hahahaha."

"No, don’t—!"

At this moment, Kawano, drunk and bold, stopped pretending and grabbed the girl’s arm, tugging forcefully.

"Come over here!"

"Snap."

However, to Kawano’s surprise, as he yanked the girl hard, with a soft sound, she fell back, and Kawano stumbled backward, still holding her arm. But at this point, her arm had completely torn from the shoulder, revealing the ghastly white bones and flesh beneath. In Kawano’s hand, the arm swung, dripping with foul-smelling blood onto the floor.

"Hahahahahaha."

This was enough to frighten anyone. But perhaps due to the effects of alcohol and drugs, the men and women present weren’t scared; on the contrary, they burst into laughter.

"Boss, you’re really strong!"

"Now she’s in trouble. How’s she gonna sing without an arm?"

"Idiot, you don’t sing with your arm. Doesn’t she still have a mouth?"

"Help... help...!"

At this moment, the girl continued to desperately retreat, her fearful eyes fixated on Kawano. Meanwhile, Kawano laughed heartily and threw away the severed hand in his grip, pouncing directly onto the girl, pinning her beneath him.

"Crunch."

Under Kawano, the girl’s body seemed like a wax figure being crushed flat, with ribs piercing through the flesh, exposed to the air.

"It hurts... it hurts..."

Accompanied by the girl’s cries of agony, a chilling cold wind suddenly arose out of nowhere. A "snap" was heard, and the lights in the ballroom began to flicker wildly, seemingly blown by the wind. The previously excited crowd now appeared somewhat calmed down, staring blankly at Kawano on the sofa, and beneath him, what looked like a girl’s flattened pile of flesh.

"Why... why are you always like this? I ask you to stop, but you never listen... you always do this..."

As the words were spoken, Kawano saw the girl’s face in front of him start to melt, flesh and bones mingling and becoming distorted.

At this moment, Kawano’s previously muddled mind seemed to clear, and he lowered his head, realizing his clothes were somehow thoroughly stained with blood.

"Why, why won’t you leave me alone!"

Amid angry screams, suddenly, the girl’s hands, appearing melted like jerky, reached out and grabbed Kawano’s head, forcing him to open his mouth, then her body transformed into a mass, like flesh paste, forcing itself into Kawano’s mouth.

"Ugh... uh!"

From a distance, it looked like a gigantic decomposing worm was trying to crawl into Kawano’s body through his mouth, and at this point, others seemed to react.

"Ah—what is this!"

"Monster! Monster ahhhhhh!!"

The people who had gathered started to disperse wildly, running madly towards the door. However, no matter how they banged it, the door remained unmoving, as if fused with the wall.

"Damn monster, let go of Mr. Kawano!"

A few men in black suits, presumably bodyguards, rushed over, pulled out their guns, and fired at the gigantic "worm." Bullets hit the "worm," exploding chunks of flesh, which then transformed into black bugs upon hitting the ground, spreading wildly in all directions. These bugs crawled up people’s bodies, burrowing into their mouths, noses, and ears.

"Ahhhhhhh!!"

Soon, those people fell to the ground in agony, desperately scratching themselves, their bodies rapidly deflating like punctured balloons, and finally becoming sheets of deflated human skin. More black bugs emerged, continuing to spread outward.

"No!!"

"Help—!!"

At this moment, the entire underground bar resembled an Asura Field, filled with screams and blood, with occasional gunshots echoing...

"Wow... this sure is intense!"

Floating in the air, Little Hei watched and widened her eyes in awe, then pushed Illya beside her.

"Illya, Illya, look! That man’s belly is bigger than a sow now!"

"I won’t look, I won’t look, I won’t look!"

Illya covered her eyes, shook her head frantically. She didn’t even dare watch horror movies, let alone such a real-life haunting scene.

"But see, I was right. The vengeful spirit of that girl is indeed haunting this man."

Little Hei was smug about it; she and Illya wouldn’t do bad things. In fact, Little Hei just followed around Yukina and tracked down the man named Kawano. In Little Hei’s view, if the rumors were correct, if a girl did die because of Kawano, her vengeful spirit would surely haunt him.

Turns out Little Hei’s guess was correct, but surprisingly, it wasn’t just the girl’s spirit haunting Kawano, but also her child. In other words, the girl was assaulted by Kawano, got pregnant, and eventually forced to commit suicide.

Even Illya, who was initially hesitant, couldn’t tolerate it anymore.

The final decision was for Little Hei and Illya to each give a bit of their power to the girl’s vengeful spirit, allowing her to seek revenge.

They were just there to watch the show.

But speaking of...

"We Heroic Spirits are also spiritual bodies, what are you so scared of?"

Little Hei sighed in resignation at Illya, who was curled up and trembling.

"Even though that’s true, scared is scared!"

Illya felt the people deserved it, but the scene of the ghost seeking revenge was too terrifying. She just covered her eyes, hiding behind Little Hei—the mere sound of the screams was enough to make Illya want to run away.

"Ahhhhhhh!!"

At this moment, Kawano screamed even more miserably; as Little Hei said, the big "worm" had crawled entirely into his body. Kawano’s belly was now bigger than a sow’s, even surpassing a woman at full-term pregnancy, to the point it looked like a balloon being inflated.

"Help! It’s killing me! It’s killing me!"

Kawano struggled desperately, but to no avail, he rolled frantically on the sofa, his legs twitching like a frog, while he himself was sweat-drenched and beet-red, groaning like a wild beast.

Then, suddenly with a wail, accompanied by cries of "wah wah," an iron blue baby crawled out from beneath him.

"Wow, I’ve never seen a man give birth before."

Seeing this, Little Hei couldn’t help but express her astonishment, while Illya was even more terrified, curling up with her eyes tightly shut, not daring to look.

"Haa... haa..."

The just "delivered" Kawano breathed heavily, seemingly relieved from torture. Yet at this moment, that baby began crawling towards him.

"Daddy... daddy..."

"No, don’t come over!!"

Facing the crawling baby, Kawano screamed in terror, but could not move at all.

"Daddy..."

The baby, however, paid no heed to Kawano’s words, crawling to his front, then reached out again, forcibly opening Kawano’s mouth—then extended its head towards Kawano’s body.

"Aaghhhhhh....!!"

Hearing the screams mixed with pain, Little Hei shrugged helplessly.

"Looks like this torture will last through the night."
