"Looks like everyone was smarter than me..."
But all the smart ones were gone, leaving only him, the dumbest one.
As Mo Ling pondered this, a disturbance suddenly came from the distance, followed by several light landing sounds.
He hurriedly looked over and discovered that several elementary school students in uniforms had climbed over the wall.
Little Fatty, who led the group, called to the companions behind him, telling them not to be afraid.
"Come on, come on! Stop cowering there and move forward."
"Little Fatty, the grass is so tall here. We can't even see the path."
"If you can't see it, feel your way through!"
"Little Fatty, there's something over there!"
"What is it?"
"Something reflective, shiny... I'm scared. Maybe we should leave?" one of the children behind him stammered, then suddenly cried out, "That thing moved!"
"What?" Startled by the sudden outcry, fear appeared on Little Fatty's face as well. He stiffly turned his head toward where his companion was pointing.
There really was something shiny in the grass, seemingly floating above the blades. Little Fatty was half a head taller than the others, so he could see what it was.
"A Cube?"
But what was beneath the Cube made his scalp tingle. Through a gap in the grass, he actually saw a person!
A headless person! His head had been eaten by that Cube, leaving only his body behind!
"It's a Brain-Eating Cube! It gnaws on living people's brains and takes their place!"
All the Abyss Monster stories Little Fatty had read instantly came together in his mind, creating an entirely new evil monster.
"It's over." His whole body froze. His hand gripped a damp blade of grass, and its slimy feel multiplied his fear several times over.
But that was not the most terrifying part.
