The owner of the footsteps soon turned the corner of the corridor and entered the range of the oil lamp.
"What a disgusting creature …" Feng Bujue used the dim light to see a disgusting creature.
The lower half of the monster's body was similar to a human's. There was still some clothing on its crotch and its exposed thighs and feet were a mess of flesh and blood. Its feet were embedded with iron plates like horseshoes. A circle of iron needles pierced through its feet and poked out from its feet. One could imagine how painful it must have been.
Above the monster's waist, the surface of its torso was covered in tongues. There were tongues all over its chest, back, and armpits, and every single one of them was wriggling …
Its head was covered by an iron mask. The mask covered its entire body from its head to its chin. There was no hole for breathing or observation.
Two muscular arms dangled by its sides. It had no palms or fingers. Instead, there were bone spikes growing out from its wrists. They were the size of elephant tusks and there was one in each hand.
Feng Bujue immediately activated the Bell of Jin Gang on the monster. If this was an NPC, the first command would be activated; if it was a monster, the second command would be activated. In any case, the data provided by the menu told Chen Ge the situation.

"Hmm … There is no related mission, flag, or identity … It really is a monster …" Feng Bujue quickly scanned the information in the menu. He dashed back into the room, closed the door and locked it.
"Obviously, this thing has no fingers …" Feng Bujue sighed. "Then it won't be able to enter." That should have been an optional flag. If I didn't open the door, the guy whose lower body was full of knuckles would've died outside. Now that I've chosen to open the door, the plot would've turned into … I've saved it, and it would've acted as an NPC to assist me in my mission.
Bang bang bang …
The sound of the door being slammed was heard again. It sounded like the monster was using the helmet on its head to knock on the door.
"Hmph … As expected." Feng Bujue laughed. "Next, we just need to wait for the one outside the door to leave …"
Screech —
A bone spike easily pierced through the door, creating a palm-sized hole in it. Fortunately, Feng Bujue took a few steps back after closing the door. Otherwise, his chest would have been pierced through.
"You've got to be kidding me …" Feng Bujue was nervous, but he still instinctively took out his main weapon, the wrench. "Could it be that the real choice is … if I hide in the toilet, I won't be discovered, but if I choose to save the synthetic human, I'll be attacked together with it?"
Following the sound of a thick wooden board being torn apart, the toilet door was destroyed by the monster like it was chopping vegetables. During this process, Feng Bujue had been thinking about how to deal with the next battle.
From the data shown by the Bell of Jin Gang, the monster was not that strong. If they were in a slightly more open environment, the player only needed to hold a long-ranged weapon and shoot at the tongues while they were outside the range of the bone spike. Then, they would be able to kill the monster without taking any damage.
Unfortunately, the environment of the scenario was very small, and the toilet was the smallest of the many rooms. Even if Feng Bujue took out his only long-ranged weapon, Death Poker, he would only be able to use a few long-ranged attacks. At most, he would be able to use the special effect of Shield to block two lethal attacks.
The dangerous environment meant that he could only use the monster's specialty, close-quarter combat, to deal with it. Furthermore, his Life Points were not full to begin with, so it was obvious that … the situation was not going to end well.
One minute later, the toilet door was almost completely torn open. Only a small part of the door was left, and the middle was wide enough for a person to pass through.
The monster leaned forward and crawled through the large hole in the middle of the door. It moved closer and closer. Feng Bujue could only retreat, but the place was only several square meters, and his back soon hit the wall.
To his surprise, after the monster entered the door, it completely ignored Feng Bujue. It took a few steps before turning to the other side to approach the synthetic human that was hiding in the corner.
"Er … er … cough …" The man without a tongue and chin started to wail, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not make out a clear sound.
With two coughs, blood splattered.
The monster that entered the door later used two bone spikes to pierce through the fugitive's chest. Then, it lifted the man up and used the tongues on the man's torso to latch onto its chest. It looked like it was hugging a dead body, but it did not use its hands.
Feng Bujue had no idea whether the first one would be killed by such an attack or not, but he believed that under the current situation, it was best not to disturb the intimate interaction between the two.
Arthur's Servant found what it was looking for and turned to leave the toilet. It moved at a speed that was not too fast or too slow, just like when it came in.
It did not take long for it to walk out of the toilet. From the moment it appeared until now, it did not react to Feng Bujue's presence at all.
"It can't sense my presence?" Feng Bujue thought about this and immediately chased after it. "I want to see where you're taking it."
If it was a normal person, they would probably still be standing in the same place, waiting for the monster's footsteps to disappear. However, Feng Bujue could make a judgment in a few seconds and take action.
"Why can't it sense my presence? Can't it smell my scent? Or … am I just a ghost? " Feng Bujue trailed behind the monster like he was taking a stroll in the park. After all, the thing did not have any sense of hearing, so there was no need for him to tiptoe around. "Hmm … It is still unclear whether its sniffing mechanism is based on normal smell or not, so there is no way for me to speculate further." He thought. "If I am a ghost, the truth of this scenario should be … After the opening cinematic, I died in Cell 0. From the moment I woke up, everything was a ghost's imagination, only the scene earlier was real. Haha … In that case, I am quite a powerful ghost, at least I can open and close doors. "
The reason Feng Bujue laughed was because both of these hypotheses were obviously wrong. Halfway through, he felt that they were too far off the mark.
"Eh? Could it be … "Feng Bujue looked at the monster's back and mumbled," It is not that it can't sense my presence, it just doesn't want to hurt me. " Once this thought appeared, it triggered a series of connections. "Yes … If I am Andrew, why would Arthur's servant attack his master's brother? No matter what happened between the two brothers, at least from the limited information I have, Arthur did not wish for Andrew's death, or else he would have done it himself at the start of the scenario. "
While he was thinking, the monster had reached the staircase that led to the second floor. Strangely enough, the meat wall at the staircase was still there, and it looked no different.
"Hey, hey, hey … How did you guys come down here? The footsteps came from here … "Feng Bujue was about to complain.
But … the synthetic man with the dead body stuck to its chest walked up the stairs step by step …
It 'squeezed' into the meat wall just like that. It was like a human reaching into a pile of red dates or some other dense substance. It squeezed and squeezed and squeezed …
The meat wall appeared to be alive. It stuck close to the synthetic man's body without leaving a gap. It moved closer and closer to the synthetic man, and after it passed through, it closed back into a complete wall.
"So, that's how I pass through this place?" Feng Bujue regretted using his finger to poke at the wall. "That's not right … Then why did I trigger this dog-eat-dog scenario after I found the three keys?" He slapped his forehead. "Oh! This scenario is to hint to me, or rather to show me … the way to pass through this wall. "
With that in mind, Feng Bujue took a deep breath and changed the Goblin's Mask to display. He took a step forward and tried his best to squeeze into the meat wall.
But … he tried for a long time, but the wall did not change. Between the gaps of the meat, blood leaked out and splattered all over his body.
The system said, "A wall controlled by a spell. It looks like it's made from the accumulation of dead bodies."
"What is the meaning of this!" Feng Bujue grumbled with annoyance. "The monster can pass through, but I can't? The monk can touch it, but I can't? "In his anger, he even used the words from Ah Q's True Story.
"F * ck, if a tiger doesn't roar, I'm Hello Kitty …" He picked up the wrench and attacked the meat wall again.
Who knew that when the meat wall was attacked with high intensity, something like a magical force field would appear on its surface? Feng Bujue's attack landed on the invisible force field, and part of it bounced back. He flew backward, and his body slammed into the wall of the corridor behind him. His Life Points dropped to ten percent, and he wasted a lot of Stamina Points.
"Good, good, good … You've got guts …" Feng Bujue extended his finger like a loser giving a warning to the wall. "Wait for me, I'll come to deal with you in a bit."
Of course, even if he did not say that, the wall would not be able to run away …
Feng Bujue was knocked into the wall, and he had vented his anger. Therefore, inspiration came. He returned to the toilet and walked to the corner of the wall. Finally, his gaze stopped on the wall.
It turned out that when the more vicious monster had stabbed the other monster to death, it had left two holes in the wall.
