Chapter 375 - 369: Horror Doll House 17
Josh stared intently, frowning: "Captain, look!"
Yuze also noticed this.
The food packaging bags contained human corpses.
When Rob and a few others came over and saw this scene, they were startled: "Damn! Have wild boars turned into spirits?!"
Josh twitched the corner of his mouth: "Have you ever seen a boar spirit with such delicate features?"
Rob, frightened, hid behind Jiang Can: "Scared..."
Josh picked up a pack of food from a nearby shelf and tore it open; inside was a pack of eyeballs, soaking in liquid, looking just like some food sold in a supermarket.
Jiang Can twitched his nose, seemingly bewitched: "It smells so good, what is it?"
Josh gave him a glance: "Eyeballs."
Upon hearing that, Jiang Can frowned and took a step back: "Disgusting, but somehow I feel like eating it."
Rob nodded, "Me too. The smell is really tempting, I’m getting hungry."
Josh stared at the thing in his hand and reached inside.
Yuze’s face tightened, his large hand reached over, his slender, strong fingers like steel bars instantly clasping her jaw.
"Uh... I just wanted to try it..."
"Josh." Yuze’s brow furrowed, his eyes filled with warning.
Josh, under Yuze’s gloomy expression, quickly explained: "I’m fine, I just wanted to try it, eating a little of this won’t be poisonous, I just want to find out what kind of poison is inside and how it works..."
"Are you a three-year-old child? Curious about everything and want to taste it by putting it in your mouth?" Yuze was angry.
The air pressure around them suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Not to mention Rob and the others not daring to breathe, even Li Yi and the others who were indulged in eating were affected, instinctively sensing danger and clutching their food as they ran to another section of the shelves.
Josh knew he was concerned about her and quickly said: "I know I was wrong, sorry Captain, but I’m really fine, do I look like something’s wrong?"
Yuze’s dark eyes locked onto her deeply.
Josh, unable to withstand the pressure, had to carefully confess: "Alright, I just inexplicably find you all quite enticing, makes me want to gnaw on people a bit."
Before Yuze could get angry, Josh quickly said: "But Captain, don’t worry, I’m really not up to anything else, this food is likely just a blinding technique, not real human bodies, something made to look realistic in some Illusion Realm, mixed with some addictive ingredients and hallucinogens. Eating this might make people interested in and fantasize about human flesh."
Rob enthused from the side: "Amazing, Little Tactician! You figured it out just by trying it!"
Josh grinned: "You’re too kind." When she was a child, people played pranks by chasing and feeding her all sorts of poisonous things, and her senior brothers at the sect often liked to call her for drug testing.
Over time, she had honed a great skill.
Yuze’s cold gaze swept over Rob nearby.
Rob hid behind Jiang Can: "Scared the baby to death!"
Jiang Can, a bit sympathetic: "Captain, Little Tactician knows she was wrong; we’ll all watch over her and won’t let her put things into her mouth randomly again."
Josh felt a bit peeved, speaking as if she were truly like a three-year-old child.
Yuze glanced at her.
Josh was forced to assure: "I swear, I really won’t eat anything randomly again, Captain don’t be mad!"
Yuze, seeing her sincerity, finally softened his expression, but couldn’t help frowning: "If that stuff had been poisonous just now, you wouldn’t be here now."
Josh hurriedly nodded, not daring to explain further.
If it had been poisonous, she would definitely have smelled it and wouldn’t have recklessly put it in her mouth.
This thing you wouldn’t know until tasted...
The taste of these things seemed like... corpse soil.
Isn’t this a building? Where did so much corpse soil come from?
Josh said: "We still need to find Li Yi and the others; they’ve eaten a lot, maybe we can find some clues."
She brought this team along to scout, a mutual utilization.
Yuze nodded, and the group turned to look for Li Yi and the others, but they couldn’t find them anywhere.
"Ahhhhh! Help!"
Josh and the others turned back and saw Li Yi and the others running towards them from not far away.
Behind them was a messy-haired boy and some enormous red beasts.
It was the boy they encountered when they first went up to the third floor.
The boy’s front placket was completely open, running like a zombie who had lost his mind, his eyes bloodshot, drooling from his mouth, running so fast that the drool even flung out, splattering on the nearby shelves.
Li Yi and the others clutched their swollen bellies and ran frantically.
Wu was at the back, scrambling and stumbling, accidentally tripping over, seeing the monsters behind about to catch up.
The speed, it was too late to flash past.
Josh calculated the speed and found that charging over rashly wouldn’t allow a retreat, so she stood still.
Everyone thought they would witness a bloody and dismembering scene.
However, all the monsters led by the boy collectively bypassed Wu, who had fallen on the ground, and continued chasing the other four people.
The last runner, Qian Si, fell behind, eventually being caught by the boy who pounced on him.
Qian Si screamed as he was knocked to the ground and instantly devoured by the monsters; his screams swallowed as well.
Li Yi and others were scared out of their wits by the sight.
They saw Josh nearby and hurriedly ran to hide behind the others.
"Help! Help! Save us!!!"
Li Yi, clutching Josh’s sleeve, howled as if his head would split.
The rampaging monsters charged towards them as well.
Yuze tensed his body and revealed his claws.
Josh pressed on him: "It’s fine."
As soon as she finished speaking, all the monsters passed through Yuze and the others, rushing in Li Yi’s direction.
The zombie-like monster boy suddenly stopped in front of Josh, leaned in, and sniffed her.
Yuze’s face instantly grew cold, revealing his claws.
Yet the boy had already turned his head, looked back towards Li Yi, and pulled him away.
Josh stood aside, watching helplessly as these people were devoured.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to help, it was that they couldn’t touch the monsters’ bodies at all.
As the monsters neared Wu on the ground earlier, she had already set up densely packed sharp spider silk between two rows of shelves.
She thought it would be worth a try to see if it could stop the monsters.
Unexpectedly, the monsters passed straight through the silk, unscathed, as if they were transparent and non-existent themselves.
The horde of monsters trampled over Wu as they charged through.
But their feet passed right through her as if they were ghosts.
Yet these monsters themselves could touch Li Yi and them.
