The door opened. Inside was the same as outside, filled with pink or red flesh.
The work surface was covered with thick blue-purple tendons, the walls hung with large masses of blood-red flesh tumors. There were no windows, the air was turbid, and rich bloody scent lingered all around, making one nauseous.
Shen Mo walked inside. It was quiet within.
He keenly detected somewhat turbid breathing sounds, his brow slightly furrowing as he steadily walked step by step in that direction.
Reaching the end of the long work surface, that breathing became increasingly clear and rapid.
Almost turning into heavy panting.
When Shen Mo walked around the work surface corner, the panting suddenly transformed into actual screaming!
“Ahhhhh!!! Don’t come closer!… You all don’t come closer! Don’t come closer!” The man shouted in terror!
Shen Mo lowered his dagger, his brow furrowing deeper.
Below the work surface, a man was curled up. Currently staring at him with eyes full of fear.
The man was around thirty, wearing a common white dress shirt with a suit jacket draped over his legs. He seemed injured, sitting paralyzed on the ground without moving, only his hands waving desperately in front of him, repeatedly shouting:
“Don’t come closer! Go away!… All go away! Don’t come closer!…”
Hearing the noise, everyone outside rushed in.
Seeing so many people arrive, the man’s expression grew even more panicked. His lips trembled continuously as he stared at them nervously and fearfully.
Teacher Cheng asked Shen Mo with concern: “What’s going on? Is he a maze survivor? How is he hiding in this kind of place…”
Tan Xiao also squatted down to ask: “Hey! Quickly tell us what this maze is about and where the exit is?”
The man looked at them suspiciously and uncertainly, covered in cold sweat, unable to speak.
Tan Xiao saw he seemed injured and reached out to lift the blood-stained suit jacket on his leg. “…Are you injured somewhere?”
“Don’t touch me!!!” The man suddenly shouted!
Tan Xiao was startled and pulled his hand back, staring wide-eyed: “Has this guy been scared into problems? He seems like a lunatic to me.”
Cheng Weicai also felt it was hopeless, saying to Shen Mo: “Probably traumatized, a bit deranged… I’m afraid we can’t get any clues from him.”
Shen Mo frowned at the man on the ground, silent for a moment before asking coldly: “Who are you? Why are you here?”
The man looked at him nervously. Somehow, he gradually calmed down, his voice hoarse as he said: “You… are you here to collect puzzle pieces? I, I am too!… My companions were eaten by that snake outside! Now only I’m left…”
Shen Mo asked: “When did you enter the maze?”
The man’s face showed confusion as he murmured: “Four or five days?… Three or four days? I don’t know… This place has nothing. I don’t know how many days have passed…”
Shen Mo frowned and continued questioning: “What about that snake outside—do you know anything?”
The man’s expression changed, his eyes showing extreme fear.
“That… that snake…” He swallowed with difficulty, answering tremulously: “Is… a greedy… snake. It gets longer and longer, bigger and bigger. Absolutely don’t let it eat you… Be careful, if you’re eaten, it’s over…”
Before he finished speaking, trembling transmitted from beneath everyone’s feet again.
“It’s coming again!” The man’s pupils suddenly contracted as he urgently called out: “Quick, close the door! Don’t let it discover this place!!!”
The vibration amplitude quickly became intense. Teacher Cheng said in panic: “Weiwei’s still outside!”
Bai Youwei couldn’t move easily, and because she found the back kitchen’s smell heavy, she hadn’t come inside.
Shen Mo’s brow furrowed as he turned to go out!
He saw Bai Youwei sitting by the window, actually still having leisure to look outside.
He strode forward to pick her up. The building shook violently! No time to hide—before greater shaking arrived, the two quickly hid under a dining table—
