Haunted House, Killer, and Eye

Including Luo Di, who was wearing Investigator uniform and Jaw Ripper, there were signs of plants growing on his neck.

Those present were all elites of the sorority, and everyone had reached the limits of human physical endurance. There were a million ways to remove the growths from their necks.

Furthermore, the relevant rules mentioned by the other party did not specify that it could not be removed.

Hua Yuan immediately used the flower stamens that had grown from between her throats to try to clear away the plants.

Just as she was about to touch her, she suddenly realized something and stopped, instead reaching out to poke Isabella's body.

Is your aging process useful?

Isabella immediately shook her head. "The Aging Curse has no effect on the plants in the neck. I'll try reproductive separation instead."

Hua Yuan shook his finger, "No need to try~ The source of this thing is not the [seed] but the [color]."

As long as we remain on this island, it's impossible to eliminate the color within us... What color were the parasites you encountered on the beach?

"Blue."

Hua Yuan pointed to the sky, to the illusory clouds filled with various colors of stars.

"That's right, the dead people that Mr. Di and I encountered in the forest were black in color."

The colors of the falling starlight divide the island into multiple areas, each with its own theme color. Different colors induce different changes, bring different effects, and shape different offspring.

The theme color here is green.

One of its main effects is that the plants growing around our necks cannot be removed as long as we are in the current environment.

Any violation will accelerate the concentration of this color in our bodies, and the potted plant will also grow faster. Once it takes shape, our heads will be gone.

That's interesting.

Moreover, according to this person, the hotel is a completely separate area, which may harbor even more dangerous secrets.

Judging from this game-level-like design, the "monster incarnation" is most likely waiting for us inside the hotel.

Everyone relax, just treat it like a race against time, and draw lots!

After Hua Yuan made her deduction, she was the first to walk towards the center of the crossroads. She appeared relaxed on the surface, but in reality, her spirit had already partially materialized, ready to kill any manager who showed signs of abnormality at any moment.

As they approached Hua Yuan,

The manager moved the flowerpot he was holding in his right hand to the front. Five wooden sticks were spat out of the mouth of the head between the flowerpots. There was no danger, and the drawing of lots was normal.

Everyone quickly followed suit, and at the manager's request, they all grabbed the wooden sticks and pulled them out together.

[Beach Area] - Isabella

[Commercial Area] - Hua Yuan

[Amusement Park Area] - Shia

[Haunted House Area]- Mu Mu

Luo Di happened to draw a blank lot.

"Sir, would you please select a region?"

Luo Di is the class monitor's partner, so logically they should choose the beach.

Hua Yuan, on the other hand, came over earlier. She seemed to have gotten used to acting with Luo Di and seemed to want Luo Di to always be with her.

Slap Hua Yuan's hand gently landed on his back.

At the same time, Isabella also turned her head to look over.

Just as Luo Di was about to give his choice,

Unexpectedly, the class monitor and Hua Yuan said the same thing at the same time:

"Follow Sister Eye!"

"Oh~"

Luo Di touched the blank slip to his Sister Eye's slip, thus completing the area selection.

Hua Yuan continued, "She's not good at real combat and now her eyes are injured, so we have to protect her! If Sister Eye injury gets worse later, you'd better get a beating."

"Um."

Hua Yuan continued, "Shouldn't you say goodbye to your darling? Isabella is one of the weaker ones among us, this might be your last meeting."

"She will survive."

"You're so confident! Then look forward to our reunion at the hotel later."

I can feel the plant growing on my neck; it's really uncomfortable, like I'm having a deep ablation.

Just as Hua Yuan was about to let everyone go their own way.

"Hua Yuan, wait a moment." Shia was sniffing the air, seemingly confirming something. "The rules don't say you can't kill this person in charge, do they?"

"They didn't say that~ You'd better get it done quickly."

"Um."

Shia's zombie sense of smell can quickly determine the target's "attributes," whether the target is human, and whether it is suitable for viral conversion.

After receiving the answer.

Shia's chin split open along the midline, forming a grotesque, bloody maw that bit off the manager's arm.

His saliva contains a high concentration of zombie virus.

Both the bitten-off arm and the manager's body were eroded by the virus.

The arm that had fallen to the ground was visibly pale, with dark veins crawling all over its surface.

Virus takes over,

Organic transformation,

It even endowed them with biological consciousness.

The severed arm transformed into a zombie life form.

Click~

The fingers began to move dramatically, dragging along the entire arm and climbing up Shia's body.

Fleshy, fibrous tissue grew from the wound and was perfectly grafted onto Shia's severed shoulder and arm.

There is absolutely no rejection reaction; it's a perfect graft.

Even if this arm belongs to the manager,

The length and texture of the meat were not ideal, but the virus quickly shaped it into the most suitable form for Shia.

"Um!?"

Although Shia easily solved the problem of her severed arm, she was still full of doubts.

Because the manager next to her hadn't been turned into a zombie; he even turned to the side, staring at her with the potted plant on his head and the head he was holding in his hands.

The manager was not angry at all about the severed arm.

The torn wound gleamed with a green sheen, and roots were slowly growing out. The roots swayed in the air, as if waving goodbye to them. It would probably take a long time for a plant arm to grow out.

The sight made Shia uncomfortable, so she quickly touched the plant growing on her neck and quickened her pace.

To the left of Hua Yuan

Isabella forward,

Since the haunted house and the Commercial Area were in the same direction, Shia temporarily went to the right with Luo Di and her Sister Eye.

The intense heat emanating from Luo Di made Shia, a zombie with no body temperature, feel uncomfortable.

Similarly, the Sister Eye also moved away slightly due to dryness.

"Mr. D, you... never mind!"

Shia didn't press the matter further, since even Hua Yuan had said he didn't care; the key right now was to find the monster's avatar and kill it.

At that time, you can go directly to the corner, and it doesn't matter what the other person's identity is.

Luo Di didn't say much and walked ahead alone.

soon,

We arrived at the brightly lit amusement park. Looking inside, we could see the roller coaster in operation and the strange tourists sitting on it, each with a head that seemed much larger than a normal person's.

The haunted house is located separately outside the amusement park and is much smaller in scale.

Whether it's an amusement park or a haunted house, there's always a staff member with a potted plant on their head checking tickets at the entrance.

See you at the hotel.

Shia touched the branch growing from her neck again, then turned and ran toward the entrance to the amusement park.

Luo Di and Little Eyes then turned onto a side path and entered the only dark house in the entire park.

"Di... It's so hot and dry... My eyes feel uncomfortable."

"Good."

Luo Di decisively temporarily sealed off the Hell Attribute and suppressed the heat.

The Sister Eye immediately came closer and whispered:

"Thanks."

The two followed the path to the front of the haunted house. A rusty vertical sign hung to the side - "[Soul Chasing, Life Taking]", giving it the feel of an old-fashioned haunted house, and even a bit like a retro B-movie that Luo Di loved.

The manager of the potted plant made an inviting gesture by bowing slightly.

"Welcome to the Soul Chasing, Life Taking, where you'll experience a whole new level of terror! Once inside, all you need to do is run. If you manage to escape, you'll receive a [Hotel Pass] from me."

I need to remind you of something.

If you are touched or scratched by ghosts or monsters during your escape, the growth of the bonsai on your neck will accelerate, depending on the severity of the injury.

If we turn back during the escape, it will be considered a failure, and from then on we will be colleagues.

If you're ready, please follow me.

[Entrance]

Cracks and mold formed an unsettling pattern on the iron gate at the entrance.

A cold wind blew out from the crack in the door, carrying with it various subtle and trivial sounds, as if it were a gateway to another world.

Without any hesitation, Luo Di and his Sister Eye opened the iron gate and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

The manager sat quietly by the door, waiting.

He felt that something was off about the haunted house. Occasionally, a red glow would flicker inside, and the overall temperature of the haunted house seemed to be increasing. The bone-chilling cold that used to seep out from the cracks in the doors and walls seemed to have disappeared.

The estimated escape time from the haunted house is half an hour. If you can't escape within this time, then you're basically out of luck.

But as time went by,

Half an hour

One hour,

Two hours passed,

Yet, the exit still remains elusive.

Finally, after two hours and forty minutes, heavy footsteps came from the Back Gate of the haunted house, and the iron door was kicked more than ten meters away.

Luo Di, breathing in the sulfurous odor and wearing Jaw Ripper on his head, finally emerged. The plant around his neck had grown only slightly longer than it had two hours earlier.

The black trench coat was stained with all sorts of vile fluids, fur, and bits of tissue.

A rotting head, held in his left hand, was thrown directly in front of the manager.

The moment I saw the head,

The manager finally understood why the other party was able to stay in the haunted house for so long. He even had a bad feeling that the haunted house project might be completely removed after tonight.

The manager remained calm and spoke in a professional tone:

"Mr. Di, it seems you are the only one who escaped! In that case, we can only give you a pass here."

After the manager of the flowerpot room said those words...

Luo Di abruptly turned his head, which was adorned with Jaw Ripper, and stared intently at the manager, his killing intent spreading.

This gaze is very strange.

Aside from Luo Di's bloodshot red eyes, a strange slit appeared between his eyebrows.

As the crevice opened, the third eye hidden inside was revealed.

Soaking

dark,

Profound,

His eyes, as deep as a dry well, stared intently at the manager, startling him into taking a step back.

At that moment, the manager had a direct feeling that the two people who came to the haunted house were more terrifying than the haunted house itself.
