Chapter 206

There was no smell of fish in the old woman's house, but at this moment, a thin figure appeared silently at the door that was open to the outside.

Then, Yitu smelled the fishy smell in the air, mixed with the cold and damp smell of the river water.

Under the strange willow tree outside the window, snake-like monsters gathered together and entangled with each other, their blue-gray scales gleaming slightly in the moonlight.

The thick and terrifying snake tail clung to the hollow trunk, and the old willow tree was about to fall.

The human skin coats were hung too densely, so they had to fight and bite each other in order to squeeze to the tree faster.

This scene is not particularly scary, but the whole process is filled with a sense of horror that makes your scalp tingle.

The snakeheads were entangled with each other, like a giant snake having sex.

As time passed quietly, the fish that got the human leather jacket first left the competition circle with satisfaction.

They walked in twos and threes, scattered towards the depths of the empty village, apparently returning home according to their life memories.

At first, no catfish came towards them. However, when the number of people on the old willow tree gradually decreased, a few catfish that stayed in place cast eager glances towards their location.

The one standing at the door at this moment was the first of the three to arrive.

Due to the location of the room, Yitu could not see the movements of the dolphin, and could only hear the slight sound of its scales rubbing against the rough concrete floor.

It's getting closer.

Yitu and the other two didn't dare to communicate anymore. They could only stand still against the wall with the window.

The night wind blew the loose hair on Xu Heng's forehead and broke his cautious breathing.

The moon cast a dim light on the open door, so they could catch a glimpse of the snake's shadow gradually becoming clearer.

It was a very tall and large mass, and the head, whose true identity was unknown, was constantly moving, as if it was looking for something.

There are three rooms in a row on the left, theirs is the last one and the safest.

But similarly, except for the third room, the first and second rooms where the old women were located were filled with fake dolls and fish hooks.

It was a time when the night wind was blowing frequently, and the doll that was barely fooling the catfish also fluttered with it, which would most likely attract the catfish's attention.

Yitu analyzed the situation calmly and didn't feel nervous at all.

He was just curious about one thing, something that made him vaguely uneasy.

They had been in the second password point for quite some time, but so far, no game choices had been triggered.

Although the appearance of multiple-choice questions in games is definitely not a good thing in the strict sense, it is also a disguised plot hint.

Players can only know the theme of this code point or the deeper hidden meaning based on the meaning and options of the multiple-choice questions.

Just like when students do reading comprehension questions, they can only vaguely guess the intention of the questioner through the questions.

But now, this test paper called death has been in my hands for a long time. As time passes by, there is not even a single question on the paper.

As a candidate, it is simply impossible for the player to pass the exam.

Although Yitu realized this, he had no way to change the status quo.

Players without any clues or information can only be dragged forward by the plot, and no one knows what is waiting ahead.

Seeing the tall and strong monster in the darkness gradually overlapping with the shadow, the three people in the room couldn't help but breathe slower and their heartbeats began to speed up.

The sound of hard scales scraping against the concrete floor was particularly clear in the silent hall, and it made people feel extremely creepy.

It crawled through the first room and didn't seem to intend to stop at the door of the second room, as if it had already spotted the floating rag dolls in the two rooms.

Just when Xu Heng and the other two were mentally prepared for the worst, the thing stopped unexpectedly yet reasonably.

Although the gull's vision was very poor and he could hardly see anything more than three meters away, the rag doll swung with a considerable amplitude and the rope made a slight sound when it swayed.

This sea bream was still attracted by the rag doll. If nothing unexpected happened, it would most likely become the first fish to be hooked.

Yitu and the other two breathed a sigh of relief temporarily, but after a long while, there was no movement coming from the next room.

There was no rustling sound, no heavy sound of the fishhook being bitten, and no struggling and groaning sound that the fish should have made.

Only then did they realize that the fish had not taken the bait at all.

The three of them felt their hearts tighten suddenly, and their eyes were fixed on the empty doorway.

There was clearly nothing in the darkness, but it seemed as if there was a terrifying man-eating monster hiding.

At this moment, a shrill and hoarse voice suddenly sounded out of nowhere.

"Hehe, I see you..."

The moment the words fell, a slender webbed claw suddenly emerged from the side of the door. It was blue-gray in color and covered with a layer of fine, disgusting scales.

Xu Heng's expression changed instantly and his breathing became rapid.

But the crocodile continued to speak seductively, "Aqin, don't hide, I know you are here..."

"Come out, come out!"

No one responded to it for a long time, and the sea cucumber's voice became noticeably higher in pitch, becoming sharper and more piercing.

It passed the second room and began to grope its way into the only room that did not contain rag dolls.

The sound of wet webbed claws groping along the wall was amplified infinitely in the ears of the three people.

Yitu stared at the door intently, not daring to relax at all.

The night wind blew through the small window behind the three people, rushed into the narrow room, and set off a storm with the smell of the sea.

As the moonlight dimmed and was obscured by clouds, the boundary line of the door quickly sank into darkness, along with the fish, whose position was uncertain.

Yitu closed his eyes and let out a breath to calm his nervousness a little.

The night wind is very cold, carrying a bit of bleak and solemn atmosphere, which makes people's minds particularly clear.

The fish didn't just have some fragments of memories from its previous life. It was obvious that it knew where the old woman's home was and even which room she lived in.

So it entered the second room, and when it didn't sense any strangers, it began to eagerly open its mouth to seduce.

The "Aqin" that the musk deer called out was most likely the old woman's name.

But they didn't know how the old woman avoided the fish.

After Yitu sorted out his thoughts, he subconsciously opened his eyes, which took only one or two seconds.

However, when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, his breath suddenly stopped.

In the dark room, there was a tall object standing beside the bed not far away, a blurry mass.

It bent over, and used its sharp claws covered with fine scales to grope on the bed as hard as it could.

However, there was no one on the bed, and even the quilt was still in its original tofu-like state.

The fish reacted belatedly and slammed the bed several times in anger, causing the bed to make a dull sound.

Then it did something creepy. It tore up the neatly-made bedding and draped it over itself.

Xu Heng looked at this scene in surprise, and a strange feeling rose up from the soles of his feet uncontrollably.

But Yitu knew clearly that this sea cucumber was just imitating humans according to its instinct.

So before returning home, they will put on a layer of troublesome human skin, so that they can get the satisfaction and sense of identity that they are still human.

The reason why this sea cucumber couldn't help but put on the quilt was most likely due to this reason. To it, the quilt here was equivalent to the clothes that normal humans needed.

So, in this narrow room, the catfish covered with a quilt became even more bloated and huge. Every step it took forward made the frown on the flower umbrella worse.

Because it was about to reach the three of them, and the quilt dragging on the ground would inevitably sweep across their lower bodies first.

"Aqin, I'm back to see you. Aren't you home?"

The abalone still didn't give up and started to seduce:

"Are you really not at home? Zhiwen asked me to say hello to you and your sweet granddaughter..."

"Fang Qin! Come out!"

The abalone clutched the quilt tightly around it. Its completely fish-like head and face were extremely hideous, and it was not clear in the darkness.

It began to howl and moved closer and closer to the window where faint moonlight was shining in.

"Fang Qin, Fang Qin! You are so selfish, you are so selfish!"

"Why don't you just hand over that little monster! I promise I just want one bite, just one!"

"Fang Qin, come out and see me. I'm your dearest sister!"

"Aqin, don't be afraid. I'm still a human being. Don't be afraid. I just got a strange disease. Come out and see me. Come out and see me..."

The abalone's voice was sharp and thin, with a kind of hysterical madness.

It wailed and moved towards where the three people were, as if it had sensed something.

As for the positions where the three people were standing, Xu Heng was on the right near the end of the bed, Yi Tu was in the middle, and the flower umbrella was on the left, farther away from the window.

In the current situation, if the snake moves one step closer, it will directly step onto Xu Heng's face.

Even though Xu Heng's breathing was completely disrupted and crushed by the night wind, it still couldn't stop Xu's steps.

The catfish hiding in the quilt is like an evil ghost whose full appearance cannot be seen clearly. It walks towards you blatantly, carrying endless fear.

Xu Heng's heart was beating so fast that his breathing became disordered, and the fishy smell that filled his nostrils made him feel nauseous.

He had to hold his breath and close his eyes to quickly lower his heart rate.

The room suddenly became quiet.

The sound of Xu Heng dragging the quilt could no longer be heard, and even Yi Tu's breathing had disappeared at some point, as if Xu Heng was the only one left in the room.

When he realized this, countless dark and terrifying images and thoughts popped up uncontrollably in his mind.

But under the control of unknown fear, the first thing Xu Heng felt was a shivering cold.

It was as if he was immersed in the cold river water at this moment, and his whole body became very heavy. If he didn't struggle, he would drown in it.

Once this thought came up, it was like countless little bugs crawling in my heart.

Xu Heng moved his fingers uncomfortably, but his instinct for danger made him restrain his impulse.

But he couldn't help but open his eyes.

But there was still a maddening darkness in front of me, and I couldn't see anything.

Just as Xu Heng was feeling very surprised and was about to turn around to look at Yi Tu on his right, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The darkness he saw was absolutely pure darkness. He could not see the edge of the door, nor could he catch a glimpse of the wooden bed that should be there. It was as if a pair of invisible hands were covering his eyes.

Xu Heng's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Either he was no longer in the room, or...

He was gently covered in the quilt by the guillotine.
