Chapter 86: Nexus Node (3)
“I... I don’t see anything?”
Alex protested, but the Nexus Node staff didn’t care in the slightest.
Jackson grabbed Alex’s jaw and yanked it upward, rough and forceful.
In his other hand, he held something that writhed.
A grotesque worm, translucent and glistening, lined with sharp teeth.
It was dripping some foul-smelling fluid like it had just been dragged out of a tank.
“...!”
The moment Alex laid eyes on the horrific creature, he twisted and writhed, trying to break free—but it was useless.
The worm crept toward the back of his neck, slowly.
He could feel the thing’s jagged teeth sink into his skin—clearly, vividly.
Schrrrrk.
With a sickening tear of flesh, the worm began burrowing into his body.
