Chapter 79

"Mad, is it time for these monsters to have a party?"

At the corner of the corridor on the right side of the second floor, Amos was leaning against the wall, gasping for breath, holding his abdomen. This was because he accidentally bumped into the stair handrail when he was escaping. If he had not reacted in time, he would have rolled down the stairs.

Ever since he heard from Kailet that bones could be exchanged for a chance to escape from here, Amos has been acting alone.

At least he couldn't believe Lyleford, Wesley, and Liz, because they all knew which bone of theirs was valued by the half-skeleton boy, Carey.

Pelvis.

Why the pelvis?

Amos subconsciously touched his pelvis, if there was a place like that for a finger, maybe he would have swapped.

He wanted to leave this damn place and didn't want to come here again.

"What the hell." Amos lifted up his shirt and saw a purple bruise on his abdomen.

The bruises were not serious, but he still felt a bit of pain in his chest and wondered if it was a cracked rib.

There were terrible monsters everywhere. In order to avoid those things, he didn't know how long he had been running, stumbling all the time, and he couldn't be sure where on his body he had injuries.

I want to get away from here, get a physical check-up, then go home and have a good sleep.

But now, he was tired, and Amos sat on the ground for a short rest.

Suddenly, there were footsteps approaching. Amos stood up immediately and looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound.

After a while, a young man with short blond hair appeared in front of him. He seemed to be surprised that someone was here. Then he noticed that Amos was holding his abdomen and looked unhappy. He asked, "Are you okay? Are you not injured?"

Amos looked at the young man and had a slight impression of him. When everyone gathered on the first floor before, he stood with an older blonde girl. The two had similar faces, so they should be siblings.

"I'm fine." Amos scanned Chad's body, and didn't see any weapons or places where he could hide anything. He was slightly relieved. "Are you alone? I mean, I remember you were with a girl before."

Chad was startled, with a sad look in his eyes: "Yes, that's my sister. She...she was taken away by a monster, and I have been looking for her. But..."

Amos: "Yeah, I hope you can find her."

Amos behaved calmly. He encountered several people being chased by monsters. Among them, there was a bad guy who was dragged away. This time, Amos did not rescue him. He was too late to rescue him. During the monster's carnival, he could only care about himself.

"Yeah, thank you."

There was an awkward silence between the two.

Thinking that Chad was not a threat, Amos sat down again. Chad turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly he stopped, as if hesitating about something. Finally, Chad seemed to have made up his mind and said, "There is a piece of uncertain news that my sister and I accidentally learned during our investigation. It is in the statue exhibition area on the second floor, Area A. There may be clues to leave here."

Amos suddenly perked up: "Are you serious?"

Chad: "It's just a guess, we're not sure. Because only the statue there didn't show any strange signs, I originally wanted to go there with my sister to investigate, but we were discovered by the monster before we even got close. During the escape, my sister..."

Chad's voice began to break.

"Why tell me?" Amos asked.

Chad: "Everyone is in a very dangerous situation. If something happens to me, at least someone knows the clues. If there is an escape door and someone opens it, my sister can escape from the monster if she has a chance."

It made sense, and Amos had no doubt about it.

There was just one thing he needed to confirm: "Are you going to Area A now?"

Chad shook his head. "I saw the monster dragging my sister to the west. I'm going to look for her there."

Amos nodded and watched Chad leave.

The other party only told him the news and did not ask him to go, let alone invite him to go. This made Amos even more convinced that Chad was not lying.

Besides, the other party also said that it was just speculation and not certain.

If Chad had said with absolute certainty that the way to leave this place was in that statue exhibition hall, Amos would never have believed it, but it was this vague information that seemed real.

Since we have to keep moving around the museum to escape the monsters, why not go there and take a look?

Amos slowly stood up and walked towards Area A.

Indeed, the statue exhibition area in Area A was just as Chad said. The statues there were motionless and did not appear to move or attack anyone. However, there were countless monsters like human-faced spiders hidden in the gaps between the ceiling and various walls.

They use that place as their nest, waiting for food to be delivered to their door.

Chad turned around and saw Amos walking slowly towards him. A malicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he muttered to himself, "The third one."

After Martin spotted Sera and Hildegard, he kept watching them from a distance.

Because Sera knew some rules for avoiding the monsters' pursuit, the two of them were in a relatively good situation during the monster carnival. They did not attract any scary paintings, nor did they encounter any scary monsters. Except for being scared by strange shadows occasionally, they did not encounter any life-threatening danger at all.

Their biggest dilemma at this moment is that they can't leave here.

Everything else is fine.

After spending some time together, one found that the man in front of him, although he was not good-looking, was very humorous and had similar taste in music to him. The other found that the girl in front of him, although she was dressed fashionably, did not speak arrogantly like those fashionable girls he had met before, and did not look down on her rustic appearance in her words, and did not show disgust when she talked about games and movies.

We were clearly in a strange art museum, but because of the good atmosphere and the effect of the suspension bridge, a pink bubble quietly appeared in the air, full of ambiguity.

While others were escaping in a panic, these two were walking slowly.

While others were screaming and running away, these two looked at each other and smiled.

Not to mention the crowd of people commenting and complaining about this scene in the live broadcast comment section, even Martin, who was hiding in the dark, wanted to hammer the wall viciously and complain about what the two of them were doing.

Aren't you in a hurry to leave here? !

This weird art museum is full of monsters!

You're still in love, aren't you afraid that you'll be swallowed by a monster in the middle of the relationship?

Finally, Martin couldn't stand this situation any longer. He realized that no matter how long he waited, he couldn't make the two of them separate, and waiting for them to fall in love with each other was not conducive to his plan.

Martin came out from the darkness.

The undisguised footsteps immediately attracted the attention of the two people. The moment Sera saw him, her face turned ugly and she quickly hid behind Hirford.

Noticing Sera's vigilance towards Hierophant, and seeing Martin's aggressive look, Hierophant, realizing that the newcomer was not friendly, waved his hand and stood in front of Sera, "Who are you?"

Martin touched his neck irritably. "It doesn't matter who I am. You don't need to know my name, and I don't care who you are. I just want to ask you one question: do you want to get out of here?"

Hilf: What?

“Get out!” Martin said louder, “Get out of this damn place, return home safely, and meet your parents. Do you want to?”

Hirford frowned and glanced around, but saw nothing except the isolation poles and tapes used to isolate tourists.

Art galleries are like this in the beginning, with paintings hanging on the walls, isolation tape pulled out, and a few chairs fixed to the ground occasionally placed in the huge room, nothing else.

Hierro replied: "Everyone wants to go home."

"Really?" Martin laughed exaggeratedly, and said proudly, "I knew that everyone thought so. If there is a way to leave, of course we should use it as soon as possible." After saying that, he looked at Sera with malicious eyes.

Sera's scalp tingled under Martin's bloodshot eyes. She slowly retreated, looking for a way to escape. In this situation, she didn't even dare to trust Hilford. She retreated to distance herself from Hilford.

“You know, there’s a monster whose half body is a skeleton and collects bones. As long as we give him the right bones, he’ll be willing to send us away.” Martin said happily.

Hearing this, Hilf understood. It must be that when Carrett said that he liked a certain bone in Serra's body, Martin was there and heard it. The other party was hunting Serra as a prey.

"You have bones in your body, too. Why not use your own?" Hirford retorted loudly, "It's none of your business whether we leave or not!"

"Mine can't be used. Only my ulna is valued. It's an arm bone. Who would want to lose an arm? But she can." Martin pointed at Sera. "She can leave with just one finger. It's such a small price to pay. As long as we catch her and each of us gets one finger..."

Before he could finish his words, Hierophant rushed forward in anger and punched Martin hard in the face.

"Run, Sierra!" Hirford shouted, and the short and fat man threw himself at Martin like a weight.

"Mad." Martin covered his beaten face, his eyes gradually becoming fierce. He was a sportsman, and Hirford's fist didn't hurt or itch him, but it was humiliating to be punched in the face.

"Are you looking for death? I'm only proposing cooperation with you for your own good." Martin hit back at Hirford, "Don't be ungrateful!"

"I don't need it! I'd rather be trapped here and die than use someone else's bones to get a chance to be saved!" Hierford was beaten several times by Martin. He was not good at fighting, but he had a very stubborn temper. He grabbed Martin's waist and pushed him back suddenly. No matter how Martin hit him on the back, he would not let go.

"Go away, Sierra, I won't let this guy get near you!!"

Sera originally wanted to run, but Hirford's words made her stop. She stared at Hirford who was being beaten, with a struggle in her eyes.

Finally, Sierra struggled to pull up an isolation rod from the ground.

She would not run away anymore. Now the only one who was keeping a close eye on her was Martin. If she got rid of him, she would be safe!

Hierfort used his sturdy body to push Martin all the way to the wall. Martin's chest was choked by the impact and he almost couldn't breathe. Just as he was angry, he saw Sera grabbing the isolation bar and swinging it hard, hitting his head.

Martin instinctively dodged to the side and heard a loud bang. The pole shattered the glass of a painting behind it.

That was custom-made glass for the museum, and it shouldn't have been so fragile, but for some reason, it was shattered by Serra's blow.

Large pieces of glass fell down. Martin's eyes turned fierce. He grabbed a piece of glass and stabbed it down hard, hitting Hildegard's back.

"Hilton——" Sera exclaimed.

Seeing the blood staining Hirford's light-colored shirt into a deep red, Martin realized what he had done. Unlike the time when he had killed Liz, this time he had done it himself. The wound was quite deep, and if the bleeding was not stopped quickly, Hirford would die.

He will become a murderer.

Martin was dumbfounded. After a moment of panic, he calmed down and decided that as long as he could deal with both of them, there would be no subsequent trouble.

Anyway, there are many people who disappear here, so these two are not a big deal.

Martin pulled out the glass and was about to hit Hirford's neck again. Suddenly, something purple appeared in his vision and covered Martin's eyes.

Serra saw it clearly. It was the painting of shattered glass. Purple brushstrokes turned into petals that stretched out from the painting. They densely covered Martin's entire face, and finally grabbed his head and shoulders, dragging him up and into the painting.

Martin didn't make a sound during the whole process. The purple petals covered his mouth tightly.

There was only one voice, a woman's voice came out obscurely: "Stay here, with me, hehe~"

Martin disappeared.

Hierro fell to the ground with a thud, and Sera immediately came to her senses and rushed over to check on Hierro. The stocky, short and fat man had fainted, and the wound on his back was bleeding continuously, and there was no way to stop it.

Sera was panicking. It was still possible to treat the wound by going to the hospital. Even if they didn't go to the hospital, it wouldn't be too dangerous to use a medical kit to temporarily stop the bleeding. But now, they were in a strange art museum.

"No, please, don't do this." Sera tried desperately to cover Hirford's wound, but the blood continued to flow out, and soon Sera's hands were dyed red.

Looking at the two bright red hands, Sera suddenly remembered something and shouted loudly: "Karete - trade, I am willing to trade with you!!"
