Humanoid Machine

Chapter 6: Tricky game

Views:

There was a sound of something sticky rubbing against the ground, and it rolled across the ground with a sound of wet water, like a skinned snake climbing and crawling.

The strange sound that made people's backs spin was getting closer and closer, and then a huge impact force hit the opening and closing door of the cloakroom.

“Boom!”

"Boom, boom, boom..."

It was a mechanical, regular, dull collision sound. Each one became louder and deeper. After a few seconds, irregular holes appeared in the ancient wooden door, and something quickly jumped out from underneath, leaving behind a pale afterimage.

It entered the cloakroom.

Apart from the noises it made, the cloakroom was actually very quiet, and you could hear a pin drop. There was no human figure in the gaps between the stacked wardrobes, as if this was an empty house with no one in it.

But the "dog" did not leave. It slightly sniffed its black nose, and the air was filled with a strange stench, making it impossible to accurately find where the sweet scent of human flesh came from.

There are two minutes left until the end of the game.

It knows that the goal is here.

The "dog" began to get anxious. Its long and wide snout slightly cracked, revealing its fishy yellow fangs. Its nose kept twitching, and its ears stood straight up. It crawled strangely and quickly, and came to the bottom of several wardrobes. It lay down on the ground and suddenly stuck its head in. Its black eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

There was nothing under the closet.

It began to bang open the doors of the wardrobes even more frantically. The wardrobes were filled with slightly old-fashioned suits and dresses, but otherwise it was empty, with no trace of human beings.

In the narrow space, the skirt curled up slightly and stuffed itself into the locker on top of the wardrobe, which was connected to the dome. A mess of hats were piled up beside her, and she bit her fingers tightly, not daring to make any sound.

Time was running out, and when Yuan Yuxue agreed to her plan, the first hiding place she thought of was to roll on the ground and hide under the closet.

But fortunately, the famous ghost story of "a ghost jumping in with its head on the ground" saved her in time, making her think that the bottom of the cover might be the most dangerous place, and she changed the plan at the last moment.

The closet was the easiest hiding place to think of, but the risk was equally huge. After referring to Yuan Yuxue's plan, the skirt climbed neatly into the top locker - although the locker was wide, it was only relatively large for clothes. It was very difficult to fit a human in it, even though the skirt was petite, and it was very difficult to close the door. She even felt as if she was put into a coffin, and the air would be consumed after a few breaths.

But at least for now, it's safe.

Yuan Yuxue also hid in a hard-to-reach locker.

The space was unbearably narrow for women, and it became even more cramped and suffocating for a boy like Yuan Yuxue, whose height was taller than the skirt, to squeeze in.

But fortunately, his body was very flexible and could be bent into almost any desired position. He bent his legs and waist, and it seemed that there was more room than the skirt. At this time, Yuan Yuxue was half lying in the cabinet calmly, and heard the earth-shaking rummaging sounds coming from outside, as if the space outside was two different worlds. There was no emotional fluctuation, and the time when the eyelashes gently blinked was regularly spaced at the same number of seconds—
