"No wonder he sounds different every time he laughs."
Under the white light, Lin Sanjiu could clearly see the thing in front of her. It was a Special Item used by Polva in the past, [Light Moss], that illuminated the entire space. By throwing it on the wall, the item would quickly take root in the surrounding environment, growing on the wall and the ground like countless tiny light tubes.
"The [Light Moss] can last for ten minutes every time," Polva said from behind her. His voice was trembling like a taut thread, as if he was trying his best to hold back the urge to vomit. It seemed like he couldn't stand the look of that thing. "But I don't know how the thing you gave me has returned to its original state … Can't I use it again next time?"
Once the [Battle Item] had been imitated, it could not be imitated a second time. Besides, compared to the original, it could only be used for half the time. In other words, Lin Sanjiu only had five minutes to defeat the thing in front of her.
"Come to think of it, what is this thing?"
Perhaps Polva's analogy of "deconstruction" was the most suitable one. The thing in front of Lin Sanjiu seemed to be the result of dismembering countless humans and reassembling them at will. A large fingernail blinked a few times at Lin Sanjiu like an eyelid, revealing the eyeball beneath the fingernail. Clumps of hair of different colors and textures poked out from the depths of the eyeball and floated in the air.
Lin Sanjiu didn't know where to look so that she wouldn't throw up. She also didn't know where the head was and where the body was. It had lost its physical form and was in a mess. A bunch of eyelashes quivered in the pores of its skin … It was a lump of flesh.
The parts of its body that could make a sound were all gaping. Some of its lips and teeth were even fused together. It was half flesh and half bone.
"I'm so sorry that you saw me." Lin Sanjiu didn't even know where the voice came from.
Lin Sanjiu wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and swallowed the acid that was gushing into her throat. Still holding the [Soldier Tranquilizer Gun], she glared at the thing and asked without turning her head, "Don't you know anything that can cure Puppeteer? Do you have any hemostatic? "
"When I, when I'm injured, I just need to take off a layer of my body … so …" Polva answered guiltily. He seemed like he wanted to say something, but the thing in front of him did not give him the chance. It suddenly lowered its body and rolled toward Lin Sanjiu like a ball. It was moving so fast that the strange odor assaulted her nostrils in the blink of an eye.
Just in time. [Mosaic Censorship] lit up on her raised hands. She was ready to receive the attack.
The flesh-colored shadow rolled over at high speed, and the ground trembled incessantly, the sound filling the entire space. Suddenly, Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. She thought she heard something, but she didn't have the time to turn her head. Just as she raised her hand and was about to press on the thing in front of her, a roar erupted from behind her.
"Don't touch it!"
By the time her brain recognized Maxin's voice, Lin Sanjiu's hand was almost touching the wrinkled skin on the man's face. Her heart skipped a beat, and she forced herself to stop. However, the flesh-colored shadow did not slow down. Even though she pulled her hand back, it continued to roll toward her.
Lin Sanjiu had nowhere to run. If she did, Puppeteer and Polva would be exposed to the flesh-colored shadow.
"Bend down!"
As soon as Maxin shouted, Lin Sanjiu bent down reflexively. Then, she felt something whooshing past her back and collided with the meat thing that was charging at her. The rolling sound stopped abruptly. In her line of sight, a patch of loose, limp skin, flowing like fat to her boots, stopped at the edge.
Panting, Lin Sanjiu raised her head and saw a pair of legs. Everything above the legs had sunk deep into the flesh-colored thing. Only the lifeless legs were left outside, swaying as the flesh-colored thing swallowed them.
At the end of the legs was a foot, and at the end of the foot were ten toenails that were mottled with wine-colored nail polish. They drew red shadows in the air.
"Get back! Quick!" Maxin's voice jolted Lin Sanjiu back to her senses.
She grabbed Puppeteer's arm and dragged him back a few steps. Finally, she saw Maxin, who was standing at the boundary between light and darkness. It had only been half a night, but this tall and handsome young man already had a green stubble on his chin, and his face was pale and ugly.
'As expected, he is trapped inside. '
"Do you know what it is?" Lin Sanjiu asked, gasping for air. Polva also hurried over like a bouncing rabbit.
"It has targeted me a few times," Maxin said as he stared at the thing that had absorbed the woman's legs. He did not spare Lin Sanjiu a glance. Perhaps it was not an illusion, but the thing seemed to have grown a little larger. "Before I saw you through that small window, I was almost hit by one of these things. It took me a lot of effort to escape from it."
"What is this thing?" the plump man asked anxiously. The light from the [Light Moss] spread across a section of the tunnel, but it did not reach far. If they took a few more steps back, they would be plunged into darkness again.
Maxin was stunned. He followed the sound and found the plump man, who was now only as long as his calves.
"It's a big fish," Maxin said, suppressing his surprise. "At least, that's what I call them. These big fish swim in the tunnel like they did just now. As long as they get close to the edge of the tunnel, they can absorb any body, creature, or monster into their body. "
"Then, how did you escape?"
"This thing has to stop every time it fuses with its body. That's how I have a chance to escape," Maxin said as he looked at Puppeteer with a slight frown.
Lin Sanjiu immediately understood. Maxin must have grabbed a body from somewhere and tossed it at her. That was how he managed to stop the "big fish" and save her life. However, the situation was different now. They could not keep running away.
Just as the thought crossed her mind, the "big fish" suddenly wriggled and stood up. Its wine-red fingernails were stuck in the creases of its wrinkled skin. One of them even grew on a human face. The man's face was flattened. With great difficulty, he pulled his face in Lin Sanjiu's direction and tore his mouth open.
Lin Sanjiu's heart almost skipped a beat when she heard that. She could cut off the brain command, but the others could not. She did not have much time to think. She leaped forward and pulled a towel between her hands. She threw the towel at the face. Its heavy breathing caused the towel to flutter a little. When the towel and Lin Sanjiu fell to the ground, the "Dying Breath" was finally under control. It only spread out in a small space beside Lin Sanjiu.
Even if it did not inhale into her nose, just being sprayed on her skin was enough to make her suffer.
However, no matter how many times she had been on the brink of death, there was no one who would not fear the feeling of stepping on the edge of a cliff and looking down into the abyss of death. This was the deepest fear of all life. Knowing that one's cells were about to wither and die, knowing that one could no longer open one's eyes and breathe, that one could only slowly sink into the ground like a rotten leaf.
Darkness shrouded Lin Sanjiu's eyes.
Fortunately, this near-death hallucination only lasted for a few seconds. As she used her Higher Consciousness to temporarily cut off the brain's control over her body, her body did not really fall into a state of death because of this hallucination. When she opened her eyes, trembling, she found herself lying in a corner of the wall. The "big fish" had already forgotten about her.
Probably thinking that she was going to die, the huge flesh-colored figure rolled toward Maxin and the others at a high speed. For some reason, Maxin and the others did not run. They crouched in the dark corner where the light and shadow intersected, making it hard for Lin Sanjiu to see what they were doing.
Even though the fear of death had seeped into her veins like poison, Lin Sanjiu still struggled with all her might. She waved her hand, and Hegel's leash with a hook shot out like a snake and pierced the "big fish" without any hesitation.
Lin Sanjiu let out another roar from the 'fish'. As soon as the hook pierced into her body, Lin Sanjiu immediately leaped up and planted her feet on the ground. She held on tightly to the huge mountain of flesh as she tried to stop it from moving forward. She finally managed to stop the 'big fish', but when she turned her head, she realized that Maxin and the others had not moved from their spot. The "big fish" was less than an arm's length away from them.
"Are they courting death?"
Lin Sanjiu was infuriated. Just when she was about to yell at them, she heard a low cough. She couldn't be more familiar with the sound. It was as cold as a layer of frost on a dead branch in winter.
She stared blankly at the direction where the sound came from. Even though her vision was blocked by the "big fish", she could not see anything.
"Nothing good ever happens to you."
