A shiver of horror crawled up Li Xian's spine. Since the window in the door had turned into a fish eye during his first hallucination, he hadn't thought much of it this time, assuming all those eyes were just normal "background scenery." He hadn't realized the trap had been laid so early.
The instant Li Xian realized this, he raised his knife, ready to stab the fish eye-and at that very moment, a hole was smashed clean through the door!
The impact shoved the shelf bracing the door aside. Li Xian twisted sideways and drove the knife tip hard into the eye on the door!
The moment the tip sliced into its pupil, the eye spurted a torrent of scarlet liquid like a punctured water balloon, then quickly shriveled and fell to the floor.
A second later, the monster crawled through the opening.
Li Xian stood less than half a meter behind him, most of his clothes stained red by the spray of blood.
The monster paused for two seconds, then ignored Li Xian and began wandering aimlessly around the room like a headless chicken.
"Squelch, squelch-"
After taking a few slow steps, his movements grew agitated. Then he thrust his hand straight down his own throat!
Li Xian stared in shock-he had shoved almost his entire forearm into his mouth. After rummaging around for two seconds, he pulled out a length of intestine!
Once the monster had dragged out a little over a meter of intestine, he shut his mouth and bit through it with a crunch.
He began moving around while swinging the length of entrails, as though using it as a feeler to sense his surroundings.
After watching from where he stood for a while, Li Xian picked up a fragment of the door from the floor
