Chapter 78

"Kelly, Kelly." Chad grabbed his sister's hand, wanting to take her away from here.

However, Kelly just shook her head slightly. Her body was getting heavier and heavier, and she had no strength to raise her hands. She thought that she might die here.

"Chad, go on your own." Kelly's voice became softer and softer. "Leave me alone."

"No, wait, you're kidding."

Kelly smiled bitterly: "I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have brought you here."

"Originally... you had no interest in art museums."

Chad's eyes turned red and he held Kelly's hand tightly.

Kelly raised her head and looked at the top of her head. At the top of the toilet cubicle, the monster with the head growing upside down stuck its head out, and also revealed its three hands. One hand was pulling at the cubicle door, and the other two were holding upside down a white ball of yarn, the other side of the ball of yarn hanging down, connected to the back of Chad's head.

Kelly didn't know what these things were, and she had no way to remove them for Chad. She could only pray that Chad could survive with these things attached to him.

"Let's go." Kelly said softly.

The slender black shadow on the ceiling above was moving its slender legs towards here.

The monster above the toilet stall made a grinding sound.

The wires connecting the back of Chad's head grew denser and denser.

The skin on Kelly's scratched arm began to turn purple.

It's a dead end no matter how you look at it.

There is no other way except to give it a try.

Kelly leaned forward, grabbed the door handle and opened it, then pushed Chad out. Only then did Chad see Kelly's hand had turned purple, and his eyes were filled with shock and panic.

Before she could say anything, the next second, a slender figure lying on the roof swooped down, opened its huge shark-like mouth, and bit towards Kelly.

Kelly slid down, grabbed the line floating in the air, and pulled hard on the end that was connected to the monster above the toilet stall.

The monster with the head upside down looked very big, but it was actually very light and weak, and was easily pulled down by the weak Kelly. After pulling it down, Kelly found that the monster had three arms under its head, and no other body. It looked like a head and three arms were picked up from somewhere randomly, and they came out and moved after being put together.

As the monster fell, it was bitten by the black shadow that flew over. Then Kelly and Chad heard a sharp scream coming from the monster's mouth.

The upside-down head opened its huge mouth, revealing its yellow-green tongue and teeth. It emitted a foul odor that made Kelly frown.

"Go," she said to Chad.

Kelly noticed that the wire connected to the back of Chad's head was broken. Although there were still dense white things on the back of Chad's head, there was no longer a wire connected to the monster's hand. This was good, at least Chad could escape.

Chad wanted to turn around and take Kelly away, but it was too late. The black shadow used its thin and long limbs to circle Kelly, and used another long limb to pull the monster, and in this way, it took the two of them and disappeared over the eaves and walls.

Chad was stunned where he was. When he came to his senses, he shouted Kelly's name loudly, but of course he got no response.

The young boy sat on the ground with despair on his face, tears streaming down his face.

He covered his face with his hands, but gradually, the despair on his face disappeared, and he was no longer sad. Instead, he slowly stood up and walked out of the bathroom. Chad's face was expressionless, and his eyes lost their luster. Not only that, the way he walked looked like a child who was just learning to walk, or a person who was drunk and couldn't control his hands and feet well. After falling several times, Chad finally returned to normal.

The blond young man moved his hands and feet freely, sometimes raising his arms high, sometimes turning around in a circle, behaving like a child who had just got a new toy.

"Ah-ah~~" Chad raised his head and cleared his throat, "Hello. I'm Chad."

After that, Chad smiled.

"It's fun. Hehehe." Chad ran away.

【What the hell? 】

[It was controlled. It was definitely controlled by the white line behind it. 】

[Is that called a white line? It's called a puppet line. ]

So those things are alive?

[It feels like some kind of parasite.]

[How terrible.]

[It's over. These two are completely disappointed.]

[Poor girl, she tried so hard to keep him alive, but in the end he survived but his soul was gone.]

[Can this be saved? ]

[I don't know, I need to do an autopsy.]

[The person in front, is he a medical student? ]

[Things that parasitize the brain are the most dangerous. Once a parasite can perfectly control the body, such as walking and talking, it means that it has completely taken over the central nervous system of the brain. At this point, there is no hope. With current means, there is no way to separate something that has extended its tentacles to the core of the brain.]

[But the question is, can weird things be explained and dealt with by science? ]

【Who knows. 】

After pushing Liz into the painting's strange hands, Martin immediately left the scene. He had no idea that everything he did was being filmed live and watched by countless netizens from all over the world. As he walked, he was making up a lie about how to explain Liz's disappearance to the outside world after he left.

Many people around Liz knew that she was going on a date with me.

There are many suitors who like Liz. If they find out that Liz is missing, they will not let it go and will definitely track her down.

No, why should he be nervous? He didn't kill him anyway. He just pushed it because he was scared by the monster in the painting. It didn't matter.

“We entered a different space after entering the art museum.” Martin cursed secretly after saying this. “This is obviously the truth, but it sounds absurd. Damn it, will anyone believe it?”

[We believe it.] There were countless comments like this in the comments, but of course Martin couldn't see them.

Martin shook his head and said, "Just say she's missing. I separated from her in the museum and I don't know anything about what happened afterwards. Anyway, her accident had nothing to do with me."

【hehe.】

Martin continued to mutter, "The important thing now is to find the watch. As long as no one sees us doing it, we'll be fine."

So what if you don't have any firearms? There are so many monsters here. Wouldn't it be easy to just find one to kill someone with?

It's decided.

Martin continued walking forward and accidentally met two or three tourists who were running away in panic. He immediately avoided them. That was not his target and he didn't want to travel with anyone.

To Martin, everyone here is a stranger. And a stranger is someone who will harm others at the moment of life and death. Martin himself is like this, so he will subconsciously think of others in this way.

More importantly, he wanted to use the monster to kill the woman, and no one else could be present in this situation.

Martin was lucky, and he soon met his target, Sera.

But the same luck was not good, because there was someone else with Serra, a short and fat man named Hilf.

Sera originally did not intend to travel with anyone. After she escaped from Martin, she met a tourist who was being chased by a strange painting. The tourist saw Sera and ran towards her excitedly, then pushed Sera down, intending to use her as a sacrifice to buy time for his escape.

How does the saying go? When two people encounter a bear, the way to survive is not to run faster than the bear, but to run faster than your companion.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Hilf ran over from the front aisle, and after seeing Sera who was almost captured by the Monster, he threw the backpack in his hand at the Monster's face, buying some time and bringing Sera to the rescue.

Sarah didn't want to trust a strange man, but at the same time she was very sensitive to other people's emotions, which was related to her growing environment when she was a child. She immediately sensed the malice of Martin and his men, and also noticed Hirford's kindness.

When Hilf asked her hesitantly if she could go with him, Sera hesitated and agreed.

She was going to take a gamble. Martin had completely set his sights on her. Unless that person died or was mysteriously captured, or there was an easier way to leave here, he would not let her go easily. It was dangerous to act alone, so if she was looking for a companion, someone like Hirford who was unaware of malicious intentions was the best choice.

Of course, Sera did not tell Hierophant that Carrett had spotted her finger and that it could be used to take a shortcut through the customs. She only vaguely stated that someone had ill intentions towards her and that it was not safe for her to move around.

Hierfort didn't care about this. He was just happy that someone was willing to trust him and walk with a stranger like him. He said cheerfully, "It doesn't matter. There are many people who want to beat others to complete the game. Uh, I mean this art museum instance, no, I mean this secret realm. I'm just glad that you are willing to trust me and regard me as a companion."

After saying this, Hierro gave Sera a simple smile.

Sera felt a little relieved by Hilf's words: "Well, I trust you." At least for now, that's the case, but this trust is only a little bit.

A short fat man who graduated a long time ago and is not good at socializing, and a beautiful girl who is about to graduate from college and has never lacked suitors, just came together by chance. Sera told Hierophant the survival rules of the art museum that she learned from Carrett. Hearing Carrett's name, Hierophant mentioned the matter of bones, and did not notice that Sera's expression changed slightly when he mentioned the bones to change the way out.

"He said I don't have a bone worth collecting." Hirford was a little angry. "I know my appearance is not good. When I was in high school, some people suggested that I play a clown. But so what? My soul is beautiful!"

"If you have a bone to exchange..."

"No!" Laerforton paused and added, "I will never exchange it unless I die. It is a part of my body. How can I give it to others so easily? Not to mention the bones of my arms and thighs, I am not even willing to give up my coccyx! Even if it is useless."

Sera, a college student, laughed: "The coccyx is very important. It also has its own functions."

"Ah? Really?" Hilf said embarrassedly, "I don't understand this."

Just as the two were talking about the function of the coccyx, Martin appeared. He stood in a dark corner, staring at Sera.

Martin, who was staring at his prey, did not notice that the painting of a purple flower field on the canvas not far behind him was distorted. The purple brushstrokes were entangled, revealing three curved mouths, and finally formed blurry eyes and a mouth.

The purple eyes rolled resentfully, finally staring at Martin.
