“what A Heartwarming Scene.” (alternatively: “such A Touching Moment.”)
The Headless Weird was summoned from the wall patterns surrounding it, carrying a Great Knife and walking straight to the Cauldron where the Hunchbacked Weird was, taking a Head offered by the Hunchbacked Weird, then crawling out of the Rock Crevice and heading outside.
The Headless Weirds that came out with it didn’t take Heads, but instead carried Great Knives and went straight to the outside of the Rock Crevice.
…
Not long after.
The Headless Weird came down from the Rock Crevice, holding a Great Knife in its left hand and dragging the corpse of another Weird whose face was completely disfigured and whose skin was ripped open in its right hand.
Following the Hunchbacked Weird’s instructions, it dragged the Weird corpse straight to the 【Starfire Train】, which very cooperatively opened its mouth wide, waiting to be fed.
The Headless Weird lifted the corpse and threw it into the Train’s mouth.
The 【Starfire Train】 began chewing the food automatically delivered to its mouth, while the Headless Weird, having finished, continued to carry its Great Knife and walked toward the outside of the Rock Crevice.
Yu Hao, sitting in the Train Room, watched this scene with satisfaction, and could not help but exclaim:
“What a harmonious and heartwarming scene.”
“Sure enough, it’s only the Hunchbacked Weird who understands me.”
…
Next, the Headless Weird, like tireless worker ants, went out to find food, then hacked to death the Weird food it found, brought it to the 【Starfire Train】, and fed it to the hungry Train.
Afterwards, the Headless Weird not only brought food from the Ground, but also other Weirs entered the crevice.
These Weirs all had a Head firmly biting their necks; they also dragged a killed Weird behind them, just like the Headless Weird, joining the ranks of feeding the Train.
In this way, the Heads in the Cauldron decreased, while more and more Weirs with Heads biting their necks joined the Headless Weird’s feeding ranks.
Yu Hao in the Train Room looked at the scene outside the Car Window, grinned and said:
“I didn’t expect the Hunchbacked Weird to be quite strong.”
“The Headless Weird’s Combat Strength is not weak; basically, every time one goes out, it can successfully bring back a killed Non-Spiritual Body Weird.”
“And the Heads in the Cauldron are also very effective, directly controlling their kind and joining the ranks of the Headless Weird.”
“Without encountering me, with this Strength, they should be able to walk sideways among the many Non-Spiritual Body Weirs.”
“It’s a pity that they met me…”
“And formed such an inseparable friendship with me.”
“Perhaps this is fate…”
The Hunchbacked Weird’s performance tonight was very satisfactory to Yu Hao; in the future, there would be another way to fleece it.
He smiled and took a bottle of Cola he had made from Carriage Number One and drank it.
After a few sips, a strange Idea suddenly popped into his mind.
He muttered, “I wonder if I can recruit this Hunchbacked Weird as a Train Member…”
After thinking about it for a while, he felt it was a bit too absurd and unrealistic, and then didn’t think about it anymore.
Outside the Train.
The Hunchbacked Weird’s condition began to deteriorate; the Energy it had painstakingly recovered in one day would be exhausted again tonight.
The white hair continued to increase…
After holding on for a while, unable to bear it any longer, it stopped summoning, came to the 【Starfire Train】, made a series of gestures, and after the 【Starfire Train】 agreed, it returned to the Cauldron.
Then, the next three corpses brought by the Headless Weird all came to it first; it absorbed these three corpses to restore its Energy, and after the three corpses almost became jerky, it let the Headless Weird take them to feed the 【Starfire Train】.
Perhaps feeling that its condition was still not well restored, it then had three Headless Weirs capture another one alive, and then absorbed the living one, only then barely restoring its Energy.
In this way, the Headless Weird continued to feed the Monster and look for food, and when the Hunchbacked Weird got tired of summoning, it let the Headless Weird catch some food to replenish its own Energy.
A fulfilling night passed like this…
……
After an unknown amount of time.
Yu Hao in the Train Room saw that the time was about right.
At this time, the frequency of the Headless Weird going out to catch food had also decreased a lot, so he let the Hunchbacked Weird stop.
The Hunchbacked Weird, which had been busy all night, breathed a sigh of relief; if catching food for the Headless Weird was a matter of physical exertion, then its summoning was a matter of Energy expenditure.
If it hadn’t been for the Monster allowing it to absorb some food to replenish its Energy during this period, it would probably have already exhausted its Energy to death…
It had all the Headless Weird line up in a single file, ready to feed the last of the food to the Monster.
After the previous two lessons, it knew that this Monster would not let go of this food.
Yu Hao, sitting in the Train Room, did not control the Train to open its mouth; his mouth curled up into a smile, and he said:
“You and the Headless Weirds did a great job tonight.”
“I won’t kill the donkey after it’s done grinding the mill.”
“See you next time.”
The 【Starfire Train】 waved its Tentacles, then the Train’s Drill Horn opened, and it directly drilled out from above.
“…”
After watching the Monster leave, the Hunchbacked Weird looked at the Headless Weird at its disposal, feeling somewhat relieved.
These Headless Weirs were not eaten, so overall, tonight’s situation was better than the previous two times.
A wave of relief.
But also a feeling of suffocation.
Three times, three whole times!
Three different instances in three consecutive nights, encountering that Monster, what was going on?!
It wasn’t that it intentionally sought out the Monster, but something had been attracting it.
That Thing had a chance to restore its Strength to its peak.
A surge of anger rose in its heart, and its dry, pale fingers clenched into fists.
Its current Strength was less than one-tenth of its peak.
If it could restore its Strength to its peak, it would definitely cut off the Monster’s Head, then refine its body into jerky, and turn it into a summoning like the Headless Weird!
After all, in its prime, even Rule-based Weirs would avoid it!
