"call..."
Chu Yaoyao woke up from her sleep with a startled look. She looked a little anxious and restless, breathing heavily, with her chest heaving violently, indicating that she was still trapped in the nightmare.
It took a long time before she gradually relaxed, but her rosy face was now completely pale.
Chu Yaoyao had a dream before. She dreamed that she was lying on a test table, being dissected by several strange-looking creatures. She was unable to struggle in any way. All around her were piles of various internal organs. The bloody and horrific scene made her unable to recover even after she woke up.
"Did I just... actually fall asleep?"
Chu Yaoyao frowned, lifted the quilt covering her body, stood up and walked out of bed.
She remembered that after having lunch with Sister Leilei, she returned to the hotel to pick up her luggage, but for some reason, she suddenly fell asleep.
"Maybe I've been too tired recently..."
Chu Yaoyao tied her messy hair back, feeling a little uneasy. Ever since she was tracked down by the law enforcement department a few weeks ago, she had been hiding from everyone with Sister Lei Lei, and her spirit was extremely tense.
Normally, they don't even have time to rest properly. Once they find something wrong, they have to move to another place with Sister Leilei. In order to avoid the eyes and ears of law enforcement, they even live in this remote little hotel.
The ceiling can be touched by standing on tiptoe, the simple iron bed is low, the door can only accommodate one person, and the gray-white walls are stained. This place is really too shabby.
Therefore, it is normal to fall asleep suddenly due to tiredness under such environmental pressure.
but...
"Sister Leilei?"
Chu Yaoyao noticed something was wrong. Sister Leilei was not by her side. She shouted into the bathroom, but there was no response.
"Sister Leilei, is there something wrong?"
Chu Yaoyao muttered to herself while looking at the window next to her. This was the only place for ventilation. There was a small gap, and the light from the outside was projected down, leaving mottled shadows.
Her eyes moved, and she suddenly pushed the window open. With a light "pop" sound, several dark shadows fell from the window and landed heavily on the ground.
However, Chu Yaoyao didn't have time to see what those black shadows were. Instead, she looked at the scenery outside the window in shock, "Where... where is this...?"
The outside world was shrouded in a layer of light red fog, and only the environment around the hotel could be seen. There were densely packed tombstones nearby. Those graves stood on the soft brown soil, and there was a bit of weirdness in the gloom.
Anything further away becomes completely invisible.
"No... This is not the place we stayed before!"
Chu Yaoyao was startled and immediately understood where the uneasiness came from. She quickly turned around, but saw that the entire narrow room had undergone strange changes.
The originally narrow room inexplicably became spacious. It was a somewhat quaint and old room, and its style was completely different from that in Luogong City. It was like a medieval Western style.
The narrow and low iron bed had disappeared, and was replaced by a large solid wooden bed carved with various patterns, a bed board woven with leather belts, and a silk sheet with a tassel pattern. Hanging on the head of the bed was a small pendant with a mark on it that Chu Yaoyao could not distinguish.
Not far to her left, there are five exquisite black wooden cabinets. The material of these cabinets is very crystal clear and has a translucent texture.
But what made Chu Yaoyao feel a little weird was that the drawer handles of these cabinets were not made of metal, but a mass of black and red wriggling flesh, somewhat like the shape of a human palm, hanging on it and wriggling slowly.
"No...something is wrong..."
The room suddenly underwent strange changes, and a hint of fear flashed in Chu Yaoyao's eyes, but she forced herself to suppress this fear and uneasiness.
After experiencing the tragic death of her mother, her mind has matured a lot.
The girl turned around, not daring to touch the strange cabinets, nor to feel the things on the bed, but prepared to go around and walk towards the door at the other end.
Jumping out of the window directly is also an option, but there are endless graves outside, and who knows if you will encounter a bunch of zombies and die if you jump down.
So Chu Yaoyao hesitated for a moment, and decided to look into the corridor to see if there was Sister Lei Lei. If Sister Lei Lei was there, there would be no need to be so scared.
The powerful, beautiful and cold Li Leilei is something that Chu Yaoyao admires.
"Where are you going?"
Just as Li Leilei walked around to the door and cautiously reached out her hand to push it open, a faint female voice came from behind her.
"Sister Leilei, you're here..." Chu Yaoyao turned around when she heard the familiar voice, but she didn't see Li Leilei, but another short woman. Her expression froze in an instant, "Mom!?"
In a corner not far behind the girl, a middle-aged woman in white home clothes was looking at her gently.
"Mom, why...?"
Chu Yaoyao was about to say something, but for some reason, she suddenly felt a little confused and involuntarily took a few steps forward.
"Yaoyao, come to mommy."
The middle-aged woman stood in the corner, a gentle smile on her lips. Her dark eyes reflected the confused look of the young girl. She opened her arms and gently called out to the other person.
This sentence seemed to have a kind of magic, making all Chu Yaoyao's doubts and vigilance disappear in an instant, and she couldn't help but walk forward.
The girl opened her arms and made a hugging gesture: "Mom..."
But just as she was about to hug the middle-aged woman, she suddenly stumbled and fell directly to the ground, crushing the red crystal placed on the ground.
This red crystal was only the size of a grain of rice and was easily crushed by Chu Yaoyao. Then, with a light "pop" sound, the figure of the middle-aged woman standing in the corner immediately faded away.
The only thing left was a medieval-style floor-length mirror, which stood quietly in front of Chu Yaoyao. It was pitch black and could not reflect any images.
“What…what is this?!”
Chu Yaoyao came back to her senses from her previous confused state and immediately showed a frightened expression. She thought that this mirror might have a confusing illusion effect.
My mother has been killed and it is impossible for her to appear in such a place.
Just as the girl was sorting out her emotions, the pitch-black mirror suddenly began to ripple, and then it collapsed inside. A large number of red arms covered in mucus of various colors stretched out directly towards her.
"The escaped experimental subjects should have been recovered long ago."
A slightly playful female voice sounded, but at this moment it carried an indescribable eerie feeling.
