Chapter 79 Scattered facial features "It, it can't be the room...
Click.
The warm liquid wiped across her cheek and dripped onto the ground. Cecilia reached out to wipe it away, only to see on the back of her hand a smelly, blackish-red liquid that was the same color as the wall.
She raised her head and saw the ceiling was covered with mucus. The intricate grooves on it were jumping up and down, causing the mucus to drip down continuously, as if a wild beast was salivating over its prey.
This room... is it really alive?
Feeling the soft touch under her feet, Cecilia slowed down her pace, an axe quietly emerged in her hand, and she walked towards the door according to the direction she remembered.
The floor beneath their feet was squirming, and the strange feeling made them feel uncomfortable. The six walls of the room were made of a flesh-like structure, with no windows, and the door they came in through was nowhere to be seen, as if it had been swallowed up by it.
Walking to the place in her memory, she swung the axe, gathered all her strength, and chopped towards the door.
The axe bounced off.
The axe blade collided with the wall, just like hitting soft cotton, and the force was cleverly dissipated by it. The axe, which was usually sharp, did not even leave any mark.
"...Xia, are you okay?"
Feeling the bump, the teddy bear came out of his pocket and asked with concern.
"Nothing, just trying something."
After a brute force attempt failed, Cecia approached the double bed in the middle of the room. The gray quilt was bulging and bulging, as if something was inside.
She took a deep breath and flung back the covers.
An extremely strong smell of blood assaulted her, and before she could see clearly what was under the quilt, her eyes went dark and she could not see anything.
"Xia! There's light! I can finally see something!"
The teddy bear reminded excitedly, digging into the edge of his pocket with his two paws, and trying hard to stick his head out to look around the strange room.
"This place is so strange, are we really being swallowed by a monster?"
As he spoke, the little guy shuddered, his eyes turned from up to down, and then he shouted excitedly: "Bunny doll!! I found the last bunny doll!"
As soon as the teddy bear spoke, Cecia took the balloon off her hand. The balloon, without its carrier, disappeared into the air, and her vision was restored.
I saw the rabbit doll on the bed at first glance.
It looked exactly like the other nine rabbit dolls, lying alone on the bed. Cecilia lifted the quilt to reveal only its head, with the rest of its body still covered under the quilt.
"Anyway, let's take the bunny doll away first!"
The teddy bear quickly climbed onto Cecia's shoulder, waving his arms and directing, "This must be a key prop. It will always come in handy."
Cecia nodded and bent down to grab the bunny doll. She didn't catch it.
The Rabbit Idol was glued to the bed with super glue, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move it at all.
"What's wrong? Take it away!"
The teddy bear, not knowing the truth, urged.
"There's something weird about this thing."
Cecia said in a deep voice, she no longer hesitated and opened the quilt completely.
Around the teddy bear, there are densely packed red tubes, winding and twisting like living things, like blood vessels in the human body, deeply rooted in the bed.
Those blood threads seemed to have life and were slowly spreading outwards, extending from the bed until they touched every corner of the room and connected all objects together.
And the rabbit doll is the core of this huge network, supplying the energy needed for the room.
Looking at the bloodshot rabbit doll, the teddy bear turned its head away in disgust, while Cecilia leaned closer and pinched the thin tube with her fingers.
The red pipe jumped and something seemed to be flowing inside it.
"It, it can't be the heart of the monster in the room..."
The teddy bear trembled and shrank back again, "Xia, how about trying to cut these pipes?"
She raised the axe and cut hard along the pipe.
Unlike the toughness of the wall, the blood vessels were unexpectedly fragile. They broke easily when cut, and black and red liquid flowed out from them.
"Success! It seems——"
Teddy Bear's words were strangled in his throat.
The broken pipe was seen growing at an extraordinary speed until it connected to the gap at the other end, perfectly repairing itself to its previous appearance and continuing to transmit energy.
"…It looks like we are completely screwed."
"Don't worry, I'll try again."
After comforting the lost teddy bear, Cecilia raised the axe again and quickly cut several blood vessels, but they repaired even faster. She had only cut half of it when the other side had returned to its original state.
[whee. ]
She turned around suddenly and slashed towards the place where the laughter came from, but there was nothing there except a strange wall.
The teddy bear on his shoulder was unaware and was still worrying about how to cut the blood vessels.
Could it be that she was hallucinating?
Cecilia frowned and turned her attention back to her blood vessels, but the clear laughter sounded again, coming from above the bed.
She quickly looked up and saw that the ceiling still had those disgusting grooves, nothing unusual.
"Xia...Xia, look behind the lamp..."
The teddy bear curled up into a ball and whispered to Cecia in fear.
On the wall behind the desk lamp, there were scattered facial features - inverted triangle eyes, one above and one below, a mouth with upturned corners in the middle, and the nose seemed to be squeezed out and scattered alone on the side.
"Oh, we've been discovered?"
The rosy mouth opened and closed, and the shape of the facial features gradually became blurred until they disappeared completely, as if they had merged into the wall.
Missing? Can it move at any time?
Cecia searched around, her eyes quickly scanning the walls.
"What a cute little bear, please stay and keep me company."
As the sound was heard, the teddy bear close to the wall was also licked by it.
"Ahhhhh get out of the way! Thea, protect me!"
The slippery tongue frightened the little guy so much that he kept screaming and crawling all over Cecilia's body, trying to find a crack to crawl into.
Cecia grabbed the teddy bear and stuffed it into her pocket, then swung the axe at the scattered facial features, but before it touched the wall, it disappeared again.
"Don't be so irritable."
The facial features appeared next to the wedding photo. After being moved many times, the positions of the eyes, nose and mouth changed again and they were all squeezed together.
"I tried it just now, but what you have in your hand can't hurt me. If you keep going like this, you will be trapped here and die sooner or later."
"How about you play a game with me?"
Seeing the axe blade approaching, it did not run away this time. Instead, it calmly waited for the axe to come and then bounced off the wall, with its disordered facial features still intact.
"The game is very simple. I will tell you a story and you will make the subsequent choices. As long as you make the right choice, I will let you go."
Its mouth giggled, and its triangular eyes were full of mockery.
"If you make the wrong choice and leave your teddy bear behind, I will let you die without any pain... You will die anyway if you are trapped here, so you might as well die quickly."
"Sounds like there's no harm in that?"
Cecia looked at it with a half-smile, and did not continue swinging the axe, but sat down. In its expectant eyes, she said coldly: "I refuse."
