Poor quality rain boots will make a squeaking sound when you walk.
In the darkness, the stench of blood permeating the room hinted at something that had happened. A sinister smile suddenly tugged at the corners of his bearded mouth. Someone had broken into his precious pet's lair and paid the price. The "Do Not Trespass" sign on the closed door of the inner room was slightly askew, and shadows darker than the night hovered nearby.
The monster took shape as it devoured the corpse and kept approaching the door, as if hinting at something.
"Are there any more thieves?" The iron hook that replaced his hand flashed with an impatient luster, and Ao walked towards the inner room.
Every step he took could be heard very clearly from inside the door.
The player's heartbeat is actually more intense than the sound of footsteps.
"It's too late." Someone in the room said softly.
There must be other clues here, but there is no time to search.
"There's a risky method. Use an invisible prop to seal the breath. Once the door is opened, there might be a chance to discover something from the dean's behavior."
If a thief is suspected, NPCs may check for important items.
A meow interrupted randomly: "There is a more risky way. Now light it up."
"…"
The harmless little black cat sitting on Ji Yuanzhi's shoulder made suggestions that didn't seem like illumination, but more like a final farewell for everyone.
However, Wen Shi was not joking. He explained the situation seriously: "I have a way to obtain information from personal belongings."
The feeding log belongs to Ao. If he uses the skill directly, the scattered clues he digs out are likely to be about Ao. He needs to start with things that are more relevant to monsters.
I just don't know if I can find this type of thing in this house.
Yu Xingzhou compromised and said, "Let's split into two groups. Ji Yuanzhi and I will try to find clues, and the rest of us will look for items."
No one objected. The footsteps were almost reaching the door, and they had no better choice.
"Prepare the props to resist mental pollution." Before Ao broke through the door, Wen Shi shouted, "Zombies!"
The zombie cooperated and appeared holding the [Harp]. The strength that was drained by the solution in the special treatment room during the day had not yet fully recovered, and the zombie's eyes were slightly dull.
"Me, performing?"
Wen Shi nodded: "Play the music however you want."
Upon hearing this, the wandering corpse perked up immediately, its long, blue nails twitching. The next moment, a melody so unbearable and potentially debilitating that it could cause severe mental damage began to play freely. The performer seemed to be plucking the tense nerves of everyone as strings.
Once the sound of nature is used, it does not distinguish between friend and foe.
Except for the owner, all living things will feel weak and powerless within one minute.
The footsteps at the door that brought heavy psychological pressure stopped briefly. Although Wen Shi had warned them in advance, President Qijie and the female player still felt weak in the knees.
As a former victim, Ji Yuanzhi knew that the group had made thorough preparations when they knew the zombies were about to be summoned. By this point, the two had successfully reached the lab table and began carefully examining the items on it. Not bothering to complain about the terrifying singing, the female player on the other side retrieved her lighting tools and, along with the others, quickly began searching other corners.
"There are very few skulls." About ten seconds later, Li Nan said while looking at the pile of corpses.
The lack of a head meant that the body was often dismembered. Carrying the body parts by hand was both conspicuous and troublesome, so Li Nan narrowed his eyes and said, "Find a bucket."
In a sense, that is also the monster's food bowl.
Shortly after he finished speaking, the female player happened to touch a loose wall panel. She pushed it, revealing the storage cabinet hidden behind it. A dirty iron bucket was lying there, with some dried meat scraps stained on the edge.
"here!"
The black cat nimbly scurried to the side of the iron bucket, and even under its shiny black fur, one could still feel the disgust on its face.
Ignoring the disgusting flesh and blood, it raised a paw and pressed it on the iron bucket.
"Do you want to use [Clairvoyance]?"
"yes."
The skill introduction specifically emphasizes that private information can be obtained, so I don't think it will be too disappointing.
The moment the skill was activated, a chilly air passed through the flesh pads and traveled through the internal organs, finally reaching the brain. This was the first time Wen Shi used this skill, and he never thought there would be such a negative effect. He shuddered.
His ears were feeling cold, and Wen Shi checked the attribute interface worriedly, and found that he was currently in a state of Yin Qi entering his body.
The brain loses its cognition of external things, and a fragment of the past is forced into the mind during spiritual communication.
In the memory fragment, the first thing that appeared was Ao's strong body, and he was looking at a certain place in front with satisfaction.
With the help of his perspective, Wen Shi looked over.
An irregular black shadow drilled into the iron barrel. Under the large-area contact, the flesh and blood in the barrel dissolved and disappeared rapidly. The eating process was exactly the same as the scene of the male player being swallowed before.
Is this what the monster originally looked like?
Wen Shi frowned. He had no facial features or shape, like a flowing liquid, and it was impossible to see where his weaknesses were.
A candle burned next to the barrel, and the timing was perfect: the shadow monster finished its meal almost as the candle burned out. In the last few seconds of the candle's remaining light, the shadow turned towards Ao. It didn't attack Ao, but instead, it slowly differentiated into a schizont right in front of him.
A similar black shadow appeared in the room.
"Great, we finally have a new helper." In the scene Tong Ling saw, Ao's voice sounded a little distorted, but he could still sense his anticipation: "Shadows can penetrate any hole. I hope you can help me find that thing as soon as possible."
Ao seemed to say something else, but it was blocked by the rules and Wen Shi couldn't hear it clearly.
"Pei Wenwei!"
Ao's image gradually blurred until it faded.
"Pei Wenwei!"
Wen Shi suddenly came to his senses and heard someone calling his name anxiously.
The influence of the heavenly sound had disappeared, and the room had become dark again. Li Nan and President Qijie blocked the door, and the iron hooks kept falling on the door. Several times, they almost hooked past their cheeks. The whole door was shaky and could not hold on for long.
"Split." Wen Shi's throat moved, and his voice was a little hoarse. "Monsters are like mother bodies. They can reproduce new individuals by sucking large amounts of blood and flesh."
The monster in the archives is one of the finished products.
Ji Yuanzhi and the others seemed to have made some discovery, but before he could open his mouth, the door was completely destroyed by an iron hook. Ao kicked the door open roughly, and the unpleasant piano music of the wandering corpse intensified the anger of this once true musician.
Wearing a shocking smile, Ao swung the hook roughly. Just as he was about to get close in three or two steps, the system's mechanical voice sounded in time:
[You successfully discovered the monster's splitting properties]
[Current collection progress 36]
[Transmission is about to begin——]
Compared to the performance of zombies, what players hear now is the real sound of nature.
Ao's sinister laughter faded away in an instant, and from one darkness to another, everyone returned to the corridor on the third and fourth floors.
The distorted and bizarre sounds of the patients in the deep zone could be heard. The frolicking and fighting had not ceased after midnight. For about ten seconds, none of the players spoke, all catching their breaths.
Wen Shi slowed down. The transformation was still taking effect, and he still appeared as a black cat. He said with a smile, "Ao is really Pandora's box."
There are new disaster surprises every time you open it.
Neither he nor President Qi Commandments paid much attention when they encountered monsters in the archives. It was normal to have some strange species in the dungeon, like the fox fairy that Wen Shi had encountered before.
But now looking back, it's really strange that something like this would appear in a psychiatric hospital.
Li Nan: "It's not safe here, let's go to the first floor first."
When going downstairs, everyone had different thoughts.
Since it is a special mission, there must be benefits in completing it. What they are considering is whether it is related to the legendary super divine tool.
Wen Shi is not interested in the so-called super-god props. His next task is to kill Ao, and this pet will undoubtedly make the task itself more difficult.
Wen Shi sighed lightly. He had to find out everything about pets as soon as possible to see if there were any clues that could be used in reverse.
I walked all the way to the first floor without any incident.
With only a few steps left, the fat nurse at the nurses' station complained, "So many bottles of medicine were wasted. Now even feeding them is such a hassle."
Since the day, the patient's strangely excited state has caused great trouble to her work.
Seeing the player coming out of the stairwell, the fat nurse looked at him strangely and gave him a rare compliment: "Much better than those useless interns before."
After saying that, she took the potion and walked to the patient's room. The black cat hiding behind several players poked its head out again and walked towards the staff dormitory with Yu Xingzhou and the others.
Wen Shi now really wants to know the specific contents of the feeding log.
Song Yan was the only one in the dormitory at the moment. Even in the dim light, he managed to lock onto the black cat with his precise gaze. Song Yan's DNA stirred, and he almost wanted to worship and call him "king."
The hypnotic effect of Mermaid Coast had long since ended, but the potential for fanatical fans in him had become even stronger.
Wen Shi's lips moved when he saw this, but he couldn't utter a word in the end. In this utopia, Song Yan was probably the only believer who had the quality of loyalty.
On a whim, I checked the interface of [Kingdom] and found that the hypnotic effect of President Seven Commandments was about to end. His name became dim and was about to disappear at any time.
What surprised him was that there was a faint light flashing from the turtle man, as if saying [Online].
Wen Shi shook his head to get rid of this strange idea. At this time, Ji Yuanzhi took out the feeding log, and everyone began to formally study the contents on it.

Cross space.
The God of Fraud was reading a book. He liked all books related to logic. In the extreme silence, a ripple appeared in the air. Not long after, the Mirror God stood in front of him, holding the orcs in the dimension he managed in his hand.
"I, I, I, I..." The turtle man was at a loss, shrinking his neck and wanting to cry but no tears: "Why are you arresting me again?"
The God of Fraud finally opened his eyelids and took a look, wanting to see what tricks the Mirror God was going to play.
"My clone has been having bad luck since he did the divination." The mirror spirit was pointing at the tour guide.
Then he added, "I asked it to divine not long ago, and I got nothing but depression."
This time, it means that the plastic surgery hospital's plan was in vain.
The God of Deception frowned slightly: "Why are you telling me this?"
"Divination is addictive," the mirror spirit asked, "Do you want to try it?"
It will soon be seen who will become the ghost in the hospital, the child or Ao. He wants to tell fortunes, but doesn't want to be unlucky, so he wants someone else to try.
"Try it." The mirror spirit recommended sincerely.
God of Fraud: "..."
