Chapter 269: Chapter 267 Me and Me

Liu Zhi hugged Liu Jiaojiao, hiding behind a medicine cabinet, covering each other’s mouths, daring not to make a sound.

They didn’t know why they had been setting up a tent, only to open their eyes and find themselves in this eerie place.

Originally, the brave Liu Zhi had planned to go out to explore a bit to find a way to survive.

But he had only walked a short distance when he saw a terrifying monster cutting up bodies!

And those two bodies, he recognized, were the couple who had been stealing moments of pleasure!

If it weren’t for good luck, he would have met the same fate as those two.

So, he went back to find Liu Jiaojiao, and the two of them hid together behind the medicine cabinet, hoping no monsters would find them.

They wished it was just a cruel dream and that when the day broke, the nightmare would pass.

But they knew it was just wishful thinking; they had come to a place comparable to Hell!

Suddenly, Liu Jiaojiao felt the ground slightly tremble as if a massive creature was stealthily approaching them.

She looked at Liu Zhi, but Liu Zhi shook his head, signaling her to keep quiet.

Their only chance of survival was to pray the monster wouldn’t discover them.

The sound of heavy breathing became gradually clearer, accompanied by the faint noise of saliva dripping on the floor.

Through the crack in the medicine cabinet, Liu Zhi saw a monster covered in black fur, as big as a polar bear, circling the entrance of the pharmacy.

It had a human face, but the face split from the mouth into two, forming a huge mouth with sharp teeth.

At that moment, the terrifying monster’s nose twitched slightly, then it seemed to smell something, its eyes fixed straight on the medicine cabinet.

Then, as if it confirmed something, a savage smile appeared on its frightening face, and then it walked towards the direction of the medicine cabinet!

Liu Zhi held his sister tightly, closed his eyes tightly, waiting for death to come.

The large medicine cabinet was aggressively pushed aside, making a deafening noise. The giant monster let out a bizarre howl, the terrifying sound lasted only a few seconds before it fell into eerie silence.

One second... two seconds...

The foul stench of blood overwhelmed their nostrils, nearly causing both to faint.

Neither dared to open their eyes, fearing that upon opening them, they would see a terrifying face right in front of them.

But after waiting a full half minute with no sound, they finally opened their eyes.

Then, they screamed in unison.

In front of them stood a man with a grinning smile, his small eyes struggling to open wide, bloodshot, with saliva flowing down the corners of his mouth.

Reddish bizarre smoke surrounded him, constantly condensing into hysterical, bizarre human faces, and then those faces dissolved back into the smoke and disappeared.

And the monstrous creature was now pierced by several pitch-black chains, suspended in mid-air, the source of the foul stench of blood emanating from its body.

And the origins of those chains were on the back of this man.

Apart from that monster, there were also several other monsters, penetrated by chains, floating behind him, occasionally moving... they weren’t dead!

"Living people... are you living people?"

The man danced excitedly, as if seeing redemption, his eyes gleaming.

They both breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they might be safe now.

But the man suddenly grabbed Liu Jiaojiao’s hair, lifting her up, showing a greedy expression.

"There’s no better collection than living people!"

...

The scorching flames turned the wildly flying limbs into char.

Then, Wen Wen stomped on a restless skull and fiercely plunged a steel bar with black patterns into it, finally halting its movement.

"The fifth one... Could it be that all normal people who come here turn into monsters?"

After leaving Zhu Haiyang, Wen Wen first found Zhu Haiyang’s body, dressed in a nurse’s outfit. After questioning him and finding out nothing, he directly killed him.

Since they had entered together, Wen Wen couldn’t save him, but at least he could prevent him from turning into a monster that wreaked havoc here.

Following the scent, he then found those two college students and the couple who had strayed from the group to seek pleasure.

The two college students had turned into zombie-like monsters, wandering around in a daze.

Meanwhile, the couple had been dismembered, their bodies sprouting strange tentacles that flew chaotically in the sky.

When dealing with these bizarre monsters, fire abilities were very effective, at least burning them resolved everything.

"Only the siblings are left... but chances are slim for them too."

The peril here was almost comparable to that in Jiusan District, with endless monsters appearing; ordinary people found it difficult to survive in this place.

Wen Wen felt somewhat downcast, adults were one thing, but involving minors in such matters made him uncomfortable.

"Whether dead or alive, let’s find them first."

Taking a deep breath and locking onto the direction of their scent, Wen Wen prepared to pursue them.

He had just taken a couple of steps when he stopped, tilting his head to discern the scents in the air more accurately.

"There are others beside them... that scent... it’s somewhat similar to mine!"

"Could it be that I left myself here?"

"Then... between the person over there and me here, which one is the real me?"

Wen Wen irritably rubbed his hair, frustrated by the situation that was completely out of his control.

"Be it mule or horse, I’ll know once I go see!"

He continued towards that direction and then stopped in a large hall.

Wen Wen was unclear which floor the hall was on because in this place, spatial perception had no meaning; Wen Wen always relied solely on scent to navigate.

The hall’s walls, floors, and ceiling were all inscribed with cryptic murals, all depicting scenes of various monsters fighting, and in the center of the hall stood a twisted statue.

The statue was a monster kneeling on the ground, its hands supporting a brown-red metal plate.

Wen Wen carefully observed the murals and noticed that the further they were from the statue, the cruder and weaker they appeared, while those closer to the statue were more intricately depicted and seemed much stronger.

"Is this place... engaging in Gu Cultivation?"

From the murals, countless monster battles seemed to select one monster in the end. As for what this monster was meant for, Wen Wen was completely unclear.

After a thorough examination of the hall, Wen Wen easily jumped atop the giant statue’s head to read the content on the metal plate.

The metal plate bore a line of text that Wen Wen did not recognize at all.

He had seen similar text in some of the Association’s documents; it was text from the Inner World, mostly understood in bits and pieces by the monsters.

The specific meaning was confidential within the Association, yet strangely, Wen Wen knew what that line meant and how to read it.

Therefore, without much thought, he began to recite:

"In this place illuminated by the Red Moon, dedicated to the great silent void..."
