Qiu Sixteen felt that her line of sight now seemed less obstructed than before, then moved closer to the crack to carefully examine what was inside.
At this moment, she slowly widened her eyes, and even her mouth was somewhat agape.
The enormous, crimson, pulsating thing before her eyes was actually a tall building made of flesh and blood.
This flesh and blood seemed to have bones inside and blood vessels outside, winding all the way up to shape the flesh into the appearance of a high-rise building. The bluish-black blood vessels above caused the entire building to pulsate slightly, as if it had its own life.
Every location that should have been a window had now been replaced with white membranes, making it look more like some kind of creature.
“Jiu… Jiu…” Qiu Sixteen wanted to say something, but found that her language system seemed to have been trapped by her chaotic brain. She could only raise the “door” in her hand and sweep it from bottom to top across the building before her.
Bai Jiu frowned as she looked at Jiang Shi’s left eye. The scene before her was indeed somewhat terrifying, except that the image she could see was really too small—not as profound as Qiu Sixteen’s firsthand experience.
“What is this thing?” Bai Jiu asked in a somewhat hoarse voice.
“I want to see too…” Seeing Bai Jiu’s expression, Jiang Shi was naturally curious about the contents of her left eye. “Jiu Jie… what did Sixteen see?”
“It’s a building…” Qiu Sixteen seemed to finally come back to her senses, her voice transmitting from Jiang Shi’s left eye. “Jiu Jie, this is a building made of flesh and blood…”
“No… this thing is too strange…” Bai Jiu said. “Quickly move away from there. We’re not sure what kind of space that is… You really might enter a completely unknown territory.”
“I want to see too!” Jiang Shi said anxiously.
“Alright… Jiu Jie… this place is really too weird. How about I first—”
Before she could finish speaking, Qiu Sixteen let out an “Aiya.”
Bai Jiu looked carefully and didn’t know whether it was because the crack was unstable or because Qiu Sixteen’s hand strength was too great, but the edge of the crack where Qiu Sixteen had reached out to support herself had once again had a fragment torn off by her.
Only now did Qiu Sixteen realize that what was inside this crack wasn’t just a “building of flesh and blood”—it was clearly a “world of flesh and blood.”
Behind this building were countless high-rises of flesh and blood, along with roads cast from bones and people standing motionless in the distance.
Waves of whimpering sounds began to come from all directions, and continuous thunderous roars also came from the sky above.
“BOOM”!!
It seemed like something eerie was colliding in the sky. The sound was too loud, frightening Qiu Sixteen into taking half a step back.
Before long, she heard something fall beside the crack, but due to her limited viewing angle, she couldn’t see clearly what it was.
Soon, she heard a very soft voice come from inside the crack, seemingly muttering two words—”Absurd.”
Before Qiu Sixteen could react to what had happened on the other side, a large expanse of flesh and blood began to grow wildly near the crack, as if trying to seal the crack shut.
“Wait… wait a moment…”
Qiu Sixteen completely didn’t understand the situation before her and could only reach out her hand to try to block the growth of the flesh and blood.
What on earth was going on?
There was someone on the other side?!
Had that person encountered danger, or were they fighting with someone?
“Hey, who are you?!” Qiu Sixteen shouted loudly into the crack.
The entire crack was now only about the size of Qiu Sixteen’s palm, and even the building of flesh and blood in her line of sight was about to disappear.
Qiu Sixteen prepared to make one last attempt. She placed the “door” in her hand into her pocket and began tearing at the flesh and blood with both hands. The sticky sensation made her feel nauseous, but this moment was the only chance to figure out what was on the other side of the crack.
But the more she tore at the flesh and blood, the more wildly it grew. Piece after piece of torn flesh began to fall from the crack, ultimately tumbling into the endless abyss.
About a minute later, suddenly—
A pair of extremely cold hands grabbed Qiu Sixteen’s wrists. This sudden fright made her cry out in alarm.
“Sixteen! What happened to you?!”
“Jiu Jie… there’s someone in this crack! They grabbed me!!” Qiu Sixteen tried hard to calm herself down, transmitting the information she had seen to the outside.
“Never mind! Find a way to leave directly!” Bai Jiu said again.
Qiu Sixteen pulled her hands back, directly pulling the other party’s hands out of the crack.
She discovered that these cold hands actually didn’t have much strength and seemed like they could be pulled away quite easily. But why would the other party grab hold of her?
Now the crack had almost been completely blocked by flesh and blood, yet the other party’s hands had extended out. At first glance, it looked as if two hands had grown from the flesh and blood—an extraordinarily bizarre scene.
Qiu Sixteen lowered her head to look and discovered that these hands had fair skin and slender fingers. Their owner was probably a girl.
This thought hadn’t even passed when, in the next second, the flesh and blood between the two hands began to churn, as if something was about to emerge from between the flesh and blood.
Seeing that the situation was bad, Qiu Sixteen immediately withdrew both hands, then pulled out the “door” from her pocket and aimed it at the crack.
“Jiu Jie! Something is about to come out from the crack. If anything happens to me, remember the current situation.” Qiu Sixteen poured out everything she wanted to say in one breath. “Inside there is a city of flesh and blood. It seems there are still people living inside. I heard someone fighting, and I also heard someone crying out in grief, but all the grieving sounds were unclear in content.”
“Sixteen, first go to the door behind you. If worse comes to worst, escape directly through the door.”
“Okay.” Qiu Sixteen nodded. While facing the crack, she quickly moved backward. During this time, she continuously used the “door” in her hand to show Bai Jiu the scene.
In the next second, the flesh and blood suddenly burst apart, blood splattering everywhere, and a human head drilled out from the center of the two hands.
How reasonable this was, yet how spine-chilling!
Between the two hands must be that person’s body, but why would that person use their head to break through the flesh and blood to reach here?
Taking a closer look, Qiu Sixteen’s complexion instantly turned deathly pale.
Could this thing even be considered a “human head”?
She had long hair, and there were even cute hair clips on her head. The ends of her hair were dyed gold, and even her clothes had anime patterns…
But this person had no face.
Her entire face was just flat skin.
Her hands kept struggling to push open the flesh and blood so that her upper body could pass through the crack, and then her entire body squeezed out.
Qiu Sixteen’s heart pounded wildly. She simply didn’t know what to do.
At this moment, she heard the sound made by that “girl” again—
All of it was vague whimpering.
It felt as if something was covering her mouth, preventing her from breathing or speaking.
She was struggling.
But before Qiu Sixteen could say anything to her, after the girl squeezed out from the crack, she fell downward at extreme speed like someone falling from a building.
A muffled groan with her mouth and nose covered came from the direction of her descent. Qiu Sixteen hadn’t even managed to say a word to her before watching her rapidly disappear from view.
