Chapter 57

Jongin pulled Lanbai and pointed him in a direction. It was a wall in a closed room not far away. The wall was transparent and made of a material similar to glass, but it felt like an indestructible wall. Although it was a bit strange, it was not enough to cause cognitive confusion, so Hongbai didn't pay attention to it now, and Lanbai didn't want to pay attention to it at all.

Lan Bai followed Jongin's instructions and looked over. She squinted her eyes and found some words on the wall. She was surprised and her heartbeat quickened. She tried to identify the words nervously. What was written on it was: Water is a colorless and transparent liquid.

Please stay in the shower for at least one minute before leaving.

Please try not to make any noise.

We are always watching you

This is for a better life. For your safety, please do not leave here.

When Lan Bai saw the last one, he was immediately filled with anger. He angrily asked, "Why don't you leave? You weren't here in the first place, why don't you leave? Are you waiting to die? And for safety? What safety? You can't explain it clearly, but you have to say it out loud. Damn it. You are just trying to make others angry. That's a perfect success! I won't listen to such nonsense."

After he got angry, he felt a little disappointed. He thought, if he can't rescue the person, he might be in danger. What should he do? He said he wanted to go home, but he couldn't open the wall without doors and windows. Could he just watch him die?

Huang Bai opened his eyes and breathed deeply. The yellow-green liquid in the room fell from his head like a pile of thick phlegm, all falling on his face. Some of it even blocked his mouth and nose accurately. He gasped twice, making a whimpering sound, and his throat seemed to be blocked.

It looks terrible.

At this moment, the mouse squeezed nearby jumped up and started to eat him in big mouthfuls.

Hongbai bit her fingers nervously, tears in her eyes, not knowing what to do. She was very anxious, thinking it was an illusion, but also that it was too much. This kind of illusion shouldn't exist, but she couldn't ask. If she asked, it would only bring greater tension and panic to the team. It was better not to say anything. Perhaps, among them, Lanbai was the one who might leave.

She couldn't let her companions down.

Kohaku inhaled and exhaled repeatedly in his mind.

Huang Bai gradually lost the ability to make any sound in the room. His face was completely covered with liquid. The liquid dripped down from his surface little by little, passing through his neck, making a sizzling sound. The bones inside his neck were exposed, and it felt like a very smelly substance.

Lan Bai clenched his teeth, Huang Bai moved a little and looked at the wall on the glass side. Everyone was stunned. Huang Bai moved his broken and missing lips and seemed to say something. Lan Bai tried hard to identify and recall carefully, and found that what Huang Bai said was: I don't want to die.

Suddenly, the surroundings glowed bright red, as if all the hidden light bulbs had lit up.

Blue and White and Red and White became alert: "We should leave here."

Jongin was slightly startled and nodded.

Red, White, Blue and White all looked at Jongin. "Now that things have come to this, they may have set their sights on us. If you follow us, you won't be safe. Instead of going all in on the same path, we'll all be caught if we're discovered. It's better to separate. After all, eggs can't be put in one basket."

Indeed, the eggs are all in a basket. If the basket is accidentally knocked over, all the eggs will be broken.

Jongin thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll separate from you. I wish you all peace."

The two people opposite nodded, quickly chose a direction, and disappeared into the darkness.

Jongin makes sure they are no longer paying attention here and disappears.

Hongbai staggered along the road, holding onto the wall. Suddenly, he ran out of strength and fell to his knees. Everything in front of him was changing.

The floor became soft, gradually turning red with a hint of watery pink. The surface was covered with uneven blood vessels, some red and some green, wriggling gently as if craving for something. The red and white hands touched this layer of red, and could even feel something warm, fresh, and full of vitality underneath.

She was startled and quickly took her hand away, only to find that her palm was already connected to the ground.

She didn't feel much pain, nor did she feel any discomfort. She closed her eyes and gradually felt sleepy. She felt like she was soaking in a large hot spring. She was about to lose all consciousness and fall asleep.

A bright red arm stretched out from the darkness in front and waved to her. She reached out her hand happily and held the long octopus tentacle.

The tentacle took Hongbai away with one roll. Hongbai enjoyed it very much and didn't struggle at all. He hugged the tentacle, squinted his eyes, and still dozed off.

She knew that she shouldn't sleep at this time, but she was already very sleepy. She didn't think there was anything wrong with sleeping at this time. She didn't want to go against her own thoughts, so her head fell down a little bit and then raised up again. She supported her neck and opened her eyes. The octopus tentacles put her on the ground. Here was still the inside of a dark red mass.

The warm touch, the sticky liquid, the wriggling flesh and blood, and some rustling sounds, as if insects were crawling not far away, or like blood rushing in the blood vessels.

Hongbai sobered up a little and walked forward step by step. It seemed that there was no one around. However, she saw a door. She walked over quietly and looked inside. She found that it was a huge mixture of a slaughterhouse and an ice storage. She blinked in confusion and surprise, and looked inside carefully. Suddenly, her eyes froze.

She found a corpse lying on the bleak chopping board. It looked very familiar. It was Huang Bai who had died not long ago.

Hearing the sound of tiptoeing behind him, Hongbai's heart suddenly tightened. He didn't bother to check inside anymore, for he was afraid that if he was discovered now, he would not know what happened here. He turned around, trying to seize the opportunity, but suddenly found that Lanbai was standing face to face with him on the same road. Both of them widened their eyes involuntarily, shocked to see their companion here.

Lan Bai thought, forget it, I should have known that Jongin walked in completely opposite directions and still reached the same place. Now he didn't walk in completely opposite directions and ended up on the same road again. What's so strange about that? Nothing.

Red and White waved to Blue and White and pointed to the things inside.

Lan Bai nodded without making any other sound.

The two of them came a little closer and looked inside.

They saw the yellow-white corpse.

At this moment, Hongbai couldn't help but glance at Lanbai and held his breath.

When she just saw Lan Bai, Lan Bai looked normal. However, when she looked at Lan Bai again now, Lan Bai's head was crooked and twisted, with a cracked scar on his head with blood flowing out of it. A black thread and a white needle were inserted inside, as if the doctor wanted to sew it up but left halfway. It didn't look good, but it was inexplicably attractive.

The distorted head revealed half of the white skeleton, and inside was a turbid milky white liquid, which seemed to be the brain and brain matter, but Hongbai couldn't tell what it was.

The blue-white eye moved from the face to the neck. It was a black thing like a bubble tea pearl, soft and round. It slowly turned around where the blood should be and stopped, as if it had found a suitable place to rest, like a proud ragdoll cat. Then, the eye glanced down at the red-white one, as if it had discovered her peeping.

Hongbai's heart skipped a beat.

But she didn't look away immediately.

Lanbai's neck was also crooked, leaning outward a little bit, as if an old crooked-necked tree was about to lie on the ground when struck by lightning. There was also a huge crack in the middle, like the shape of a cracked mouth, and it made a whistling sound, as if there was some air leaking out. However, Hongbai didn't feel that the wind was very cold even though it was so close. She was not sure whether what she saw was an illusion or not.

Probably.

Hongbai withdrew his gaze from the blue and white neck.

Lan Bai stared at Huang Bai on the chopping board, and suddenly he felt a little impulsive: "How about we go in and take the body away now?"

Jongin appeared quietly behind them and whispered, "That's probably not very safe, is it?"

Red, White, Blue and White were all startled, and when they saw it was Jongin, they breathed a sigh of relief. However, they all suspected that this person was deliberately trying to scare them or that he was in danger after being separated, so they remained vigilant.

Jongin said, "Look, there's someone inside."

The red, white, blue and white colors immediately attracted attention.

Jongin stood in their shadowed corner.

Inside, a huge chef, over three meters tall, came out staggering in a white coat. His whole body was full of fat that swayed as he walked, as if every piece of fat was a duck, quacking as he walked.

The cook held a knife and chopped the chopping board. White feathers began to fly out of his body. It looked like duck down in a down jacket.

The chef chopped the yellow-white carcass with a knife, and the carcass gradually shrank and became a duck a little bigger than a palm. The chef picked up the feathered, skinned and cleaned duck and weighed it. He found that the duck weighed only ten kilograms. He slapped the duck and muttered, "What a pity, it's just this small, not enough to eat."

As he spoke, he smiled and cut the duck on the chopping board. After being cut into pieces, the duck gradually turned black and gray, grew sharp teeth, long whiskers on both sides, a wobbly and neatly trimmed tail, and some hair. It looked like a smaller mouse, but as a duck, Huang Bai was too small and too thin, and as a mouse, it was abnormally fat.
