“AAAAAAAAAH!!!” Lin Jianyuan finally lost control and screamed!

The enormous bloody maw swallowed him, and the intestines holding him retracted, which meant he was now in free fall!

“AAAAAAAAAAH!!!”

All around him was a long and narrow, dark-red passage.

Lin Jianyuan felt like he had fallen into a flesh-colored well. The walls gleamed with soft, moist flesh, and the muscles themselves were even slowly writhing.

There was an overwhelming sense of déjà vu.

Wait. This is... the esophagus!

As someone who was once “eaten in one big bite” and was becoming increasingly familiar with the anatomy of the digestive system, Lin Jianyuan immediately realized where he was.

The esophagus! And below the esophagus... was the stomach!

The stomach contained gastric acid! Moreover, gastric acid was a strong corrosive acid!

And this was his wife’s stomach acid, which is the stomach acid of an S-class Aberrant!!!

No! He couldn’t fall any farther! He’d be digested!

What if Xie Yu woke up afterward and found out...

Lin Jianyuan’s breath was stuck. His chest tightened so badly that he could barely breathe.

“Eyeball! You fucking...”

Lin Jianyuan yanked out Angel Eyeball, which was still frozen stiff with fear, and roared,

“WAKE THE FUCK UP!”

Smack! Smack!

Lin Jianyuan slapped the eyeball twice on the spot, and the eyeball’s gaze instantly cleared!

“Hm?” Angel Eyeball blinked blankly. “Hm? Hm? Hm?”

“Fly!” Lin Jianyuan grabbed it by the base of its wings and scrambled on top of the eyeball using both hands and feet.

“We’re going to fall! Fly!”

Eyeball: “???”

The Angel Eyeball had absolutely no idea what was going on, and it definitely didn’t expect that Lin Jianyuan would plop his ass directly onto its eyeball!

Help!!! It was a large eyeball, yes, but it was still only about the size of a basketball!

It couldn’t support the weight of a 185-centimeter-tall Lin Jianyuan AAAAAAH!!!

But... wait. What was that below them?

What the fuck is that bubbling and churning water underneath them?!!!

“AAAAAAAAAH OOOOOOOOOOOOH...”

Good thing the eyeball didn’t have a urinary system; otherwise, it would have pissed itself by now.

But the eyeball has tears, so it flapped its wings while tears streamed down its face.

Its three pairs of wings suddenly spun like helicopter blades, whipping up wind on the spot!

Somehow, it actually managed to haul the rapidly falling Lin Jianyuan, along with his whole pocketful of little toys, back upward!

Their fall was successfully halted!

“Beautiful!” Lin Jianyuan clenched the base of the eyeball’s wings, dug his fingers into the eyeball, and hauled upward.

“Fly up! His mouth still hasn’t closed, so hurry, we can still...”

Before he could finish...

Whoosh!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Countless objects came screaming down from overhead!

Lin Jianyuan: “???”

Lin Jianyuan looked up in disbelief.

Countless black objects, large and small, were raining down directly at his head!

It looked like some utterly uncivilized crowd was throwing garbage from high above!

“Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t, holy sh*t!” Lin Jianyuan was horrified.

At that moment, it felt like he was playing some old-school pixel game where he had to dodge obstacles falling from the top of the screen.

“OOOOOOOOOOOOOH...” Angel Eyeball, with Lin Jianyuan digging into its eye and steering it left and right, frantically flapped all three pairs of wings.

Its feathers were nearly flying off.

Finally! Thanks to the flawless teamwork between one man and one eyeball!

Lin Jianyuan successfully... got nailed by the falling garbage!

“UGH!” Something smacked him directly on the head, nearly knocking him off the eyeball!

A white object suddenly appeared in front of him at exactly the right moment and blocked his fall!

Lin Jianyuan instinctively grabbed it, and his fingers closed around a hard, prickly piece of bone.

It was Socially Anxious Lego!

Socially Anxious Lego was still trembling violently, its voice shaking.

“L-L-L-Lin, y-y-you, c-c-careful...”

“Thanks!” Lin Jianyuan grabbed hold of it!

He used the white spine that appeared out of nowhere like a safety harness. He looped it around his waist and firmly secured himself to his eyeball mount.

The little toys that were gradually waking back up: “……”

Wait. What exactly are we looking at?

Are we awake or still unconscious???

“What do we do now?!” Angel Eyeball shouted as it carried him through the air. “I can’t hold this much longer!”

Lin Jianyuan looked upward. Against the dark-red sky, that enormous bloody mouth was still clearly visible.

Except now, he was looking at it from the inside.

Xie Yu was still eating. Eating uncontrollably and frantically.

Countless Aberrants were being seized by intestinal tubes and thrown inside like objects tossed from a great height.

The entire esophagus echoed with thunderous booms, as if some enormous beast below were roaring and howling.

He must be feeling awful right now.

Yes, Xie Yu was gluttonous, but his capacity was still limited. If he ate too much, his stomach would start rumbling, and he would feel uncomfortable.

He would get sleepy, like a snake after swallowing an elephant. He also needed to rest for a while before eating again.

Moreover, he had never eaten this much before, so he must be feeling miserable right now...

But he couldn’t control himself. He lost control!

“Lin Jianyuan!” Angel Eyeball carried him left and right, struggling to dodge the debris raining down from overhead. “Say something already! What do we do next?!”

“The esophagus has three physiological constrictions...”

Lin Jianyuan calmed down with astonishing speed and said in a low voice,

“We'll gamble on it. We go down.”

Angel Eyeball: “?”

It had no idea what he meant, but right now, there was nothing else to do except trust Lin Jianyuan!

“Hold tight...” Angel Eyeball roared, “WE’RE GOING DOWN OOOOOOOOOOOH...”

Its wings beat violently, and a hurricane erupted!

Angel Eyeball carried Lin Jianyuan and all his little toys in a full-speed dive toward the lower esophagus!

Below the esophagus was the stomach.

At that very moment, countless captured Aberrants were tumbling downward one after another, plunging straight into the stomach!

The stomach slowly churned like an enormous meat grinder, constantly squeezing and grinding all the Aberrants inside!

And Lin Jianyuan’s target was right there!

Near the stomach entrance, at the junction between the esophagus and stomach! The third physiological constriction!

Xie Yu’s body structure was almost identical to a human’s.

That was the conclusion Lin Jianyuan reached after comparing his anatomy against human anatomical charts countless times.

Xie Yu’s entire body grew according to the structure of the human digestive system. So anything a human had... he had it too!

“RIGHT HERE!”

Lin Jianyuan suddenly shouted, “BRAKE!”

Angel Eyeball: “???”

Before Angel Eyeball could react, Lin Jianyuan dug into its eye and forcibly made it stop!

The eyeball rolled back, and its three pairs of wings flailed wildly.

Absolute chaos!

Then Lin Jianyuan suddenly grabbed onto the wall of the esophagus!

Angel Eyeball also slammed against the esophageal wall. Unable to spread its wings, the entire eyeball began dropping straight down!

Luckily, Lin Jianyuan clamped it between his legs!

“Steady.” Lin Jianyuan panted heavily, but his voice remained calm. “We’re safe here.”

The little toys: “……”

They were currently at the third physiological constriction of the esophagus, close to the gastroesophageal junction. More precisely, they were just beneath the narrowed section.

Above them, the esophagus curved naturally, forming a built-in barrier.

That meant all the falling debris from above would pass over them instead of smashing into them.

At last, they could breathe.

“Wh-what is this...” Squishy was practically crying. “What’s going on?! Why did the Queen eat all of us?!”

“And why is everything so huge???” Little Stone stared in disbelief. “When did the Evil Domain’s territory become this enormous? Before, it was obviously...”

Lin Jianyuan looked down. Below them, the stomach churned slowly like a colossal millstone, grinding the Aberrants inside.

More Aberrants kept falling in from above, while the Aberrants below were still undigested. Thus, more and more food piled up.

And because the Aberrants were still alive, every single one of them was desperately struggling and pushing against the others.

The mass below looked dense and chaotic, like particles undergoing Brownian motion.

The stomach’s capacity was enormous, but the constantly accumulating, endlessly writhing mass of food was clearly becoming a severe burden.

From Lin Jianyuan’s angle, all he could see were Aberrants piled into mountains. There was no visible digestive fluid at all anymore.

Obviously... He ate too much! Xie Yu must be feeling absolutely awful!

Deep inside the digestive tract, thunderous rumbles kept echoing like the roar of a gigantic metal beast.

Lin Jianyuan was extremely familiar with that sound.

Those were hyperactive bowel sounds!

What now? How could he help Xie Yu? How could he wake him up and bring him back to his senses?!

Damn it! He didn’t know what to do!

Lin Jianyuan didn’t even know why Xie Yu became like this in the first place! There wasn’t enough information!

All he knew right now was that Xie Yu was binge-eating uncontrollably, eating so much that food piled into mountains!

Xie Yu must be suffering terribly! He must be feeling extremely horrible right now!

Lin Jianyuan’s chest ached.

His gaze swept quickly over the stomach below, which was struggling to churn. Then, an idea immediately came to him.

“Who knows how to herd sheep?!” Lin Jianyuan shouted.

The little toys: “Huh???”

“Herd sheep! Border collies! You’ve seen sheepdogs before, right?!”

Lin Jianyuan suddenly grew irritable and grabbed Squishy. “Forget it! First, pause time!”

“This is an S-class domain!” Squishy screamed.

“I can’t stop time here! I can only slow it down as much as possible!”

Lin Jianyuan said, “Do your best!”

Squishy: “OKAY!!”

Squishy sat upright in Lin Jianyuan’s palm and opened its snail-like mouth, which was lined with more than three hundred toothlike tongues.

Its tiny mouth opened impossibly wide, and the snail-shaped Squishy began inhaling with all its might...

Its translucent jelly body inflated, and inflated, and inflated!

Its antennae puffed up. Its cheeks puffed up. And even its pitch-black figure-eight-shaped eyes bulged outward!

The entire Squishy inflated into an overfilled jelly balloon!

Then time... slowed.

It wasn’t the near-total standstill they experienced before, but Lin Jianyuan immediately sensed that the flow of time around them was slowing.

The most obvious example was the mountain of Aberrants below them.

A moment ago they were thrashing around like particles in chaotic Brownian motion. But now, their every movement slowed, and at that exact moment...

an idea flashed through Lin Jianyuan’s mind!

He knew what to do!

“MOUTHBALL!” Lin Jianyuan shouted.

Abyssal Maw immediately stepped forward. “Here!”

Lin Jianyuan gave a hard yank! Like drawing a belt from around his waist, he pulled the white spine free and whipped it outward!

The originally curved spine instantly snapped straight!

Lin Jianyuan roared, “Mouthball, attach yourself under the eyeball! Swallow any Aberrant that refuses to cooperate!”

Abyssal Maw immediately obeyed, but then it hesitated.

“But I can’t eat that many...”

Lin Jianyuan said, “Only swallow when I tell you to!”

Abyssal Maw: “Okay!”

Lin Jianyuan shouted again, “Little Stone!”

Little Stone jumped out of his trouser pocket. “Here!”

Lin Jianyuan said nothing. He simply grabbed it and forcefully pressed it onto the spinous process of the first vertebra!

Little Stone: “?”

Socially Anxious Lego: “??”

Lin Jianyuan said, “Enchant the mace!”

Socially Anxious Lego: “...Huh?”

Little Stone immediately understood. “Got it!”

Socially Anxious Lego panicked. “Wait? I don’t get it! What mace? What enchantment???”

Little Stone explained, “The King is going to use you to beat the sheep down there in a minute... Oh, don’t worry about the details! Just make yourself hard and turn into a mace!”

Socially Anxious Lego: “Oh! Oh!”

The smiling spine also began holding its breath, vertebra by vertebra!

Every opening between the vertebrae tightened shut, and the smile vanished!

In its place... was a thick, long, perfectly straight white spiked club covered in bony projections!

“Y-Your Majesty...”

Squishy’s entire body was already deep purple from straining.

Its black figure-eight eyes bulged outward, nearly about to shoot free of their sockets.

“I-I can’t... hold... much... longer...”

“That’s enough, Squishy. You did great.” Lin Jianyuan reached out and gave the snail’s head a quick rub, then casually stuffed the deflated Squishy back into his pocket.

After that, he clamped his legs tight around Angel Eyeball and grabbed the base of its wings with his left hand.

Then, he raised the spiked white club high in his right hand.

“CHILDREN!” Lin Jianyuan let out a thunderous roar. “FOLLOW ME TO SAVE WIFEY!!!”

“CHAAAAARGE!!!” All the little toys shouted in unison!

The flow of time returned to normal, and the countless Aberrants piled high inside the stomach immediately resumed their frantic thrashing!

Lin Jianyuan and his entire group of little toys formed a bizarre one-man army.

And just like that, mighty and murderous, they charged straight into the horde of Aberrants!
