Chapter 55

I threw the red fruit into my mouth and sinked my teeth into it.

I heard something from somewhere far away. 

“NorpabapchihnparlNaina rpabap prahmpa rl is oeyaa hp; ldeja bd ni lskhv na eeupm ba; oo kg ba eibapo; lk uf ha ope g bao @z;. ltf gbd b; go. Fkdjbgxj.”

Something incomprehensible was leaking out of my mouth. In my mouth, there was something, I didn’t know what it was nor the shape of it. Something incorrigible was violating my mouth. 

“OEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGH!”

I vomited. The thing I put in my mouth. 

“Hii-!”

A terrified voice was coming out from my mouth. The thing I vomited. The existence that was in my mouth just before. It was a small insect. A worm-sized insect. A dark red centipede-like insect with translucent body and green, cluttered legs growing from its body. When I took a closer look at the insect, underneath that translucent body, there were numerous unknown small maggots wriggling around. 

And then…..

Numerous eyes were floating, all over my body, watching me intently. A lot of those disgusting centipede-like insects were coming out of my mouth. 

“Hiia-!”

I stepped back and looked in front of me. 

“Hiii-!”

And then, another scream was coming out of my mouth. The previously ordinary red fruit that was growing from a tree as big as a roadside tree… That short tree was surrounded by numerous disgusting insects, crawling all over it. 

Then, the leaves on that tree became rotten like…. Its shape became disgustingly indescribable. 

“…….Ah!”

Before I realized it, the scenery I was in changed. The refreshing field suddenly disappeared, replaced by something else, something repulsive. The bright, shining sun in the sky was replaced by a big eyeball. The sky was dyed in dark red, the grass that was growing all over the place was gone, replaced by disgusting insects. Numerous disgusting insects were crawling around, surrounding me and then…

They started squirming up my arms…. Going further up as they went…..

“AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”

I screamed pathetically and stood up. I shook my arms as I continued on screaming.

Something. I ran away as if something was guiding me. And then, I finally arrived. 

“……Oh….”

My vision was wrapped in light.

T/N: Hallucinations? Or something? Hmm….
