Chapter 44: Distribution Rules

The twisted village and muddy path vanished in an instant, replaced once again by rolling white fog and murky, stagnant water. Lin Qianqian and Yu Na stood less than two meters away from him. A faint, pale blue halo rippled around them like water.

Less than five meters ahead of them, a deformed "thing" was half-sprawled in the water. It wore ragged overalls and a vest of indeterminate color. The clothes had long since fused with its rotting flesh. With more than half of its body submerged in the murky water, its exposed skin was a corpse-like livid gray, covered in festering sores and a slippery layer of slime. Its head tilted upward at a grotesque angle. The facial muscles were twisted, and its mouth hung wide open to reveal blackened, yellowed teeth. Its hollow eye sockets were devoid of eyeballs.
