Xiaoqi is the thinnest of the four girls, with long black hair. Because she came to save her idol today, she also put on delicate makeup.
But her makeup was smudged, and her originally smooth black hair became messy and spread on her head. She looked at Ji Mingxia timidly and said in a trembling voice: "Are you here to save me?"
The red light reflected on her messy face. The mascara and eyeliner were smudged, making her eyes blurry and impossible to see. The lipstick was smeared outside her lips. At first glance, her lips were completely deformed and huge. Her black hair was wet and sticky, with some strands stuck to her face and some stuck to the back of her neck.
If she wasn't wearing Xiaoqi's clothes, at first glance, Ji Mingxia would have thought it was a ghost.
Although Xiao Qi looked horrible, her voice sounded quite normal. Her voice was gentle with a little tremor, and she sounded very pitiful: "I was so scared. I thought I was going to die..."
Ji Mingxia said: "We came here to look for you, but we were attacked right after we came in. We don't know what happened, and we suddenly ran to another space. We just came back now, and found that Yu Ning, Liu Lin and the others disappeared."
As he spoke, he did not move forward, but stopped where he was and observed Xiaoqi carefully: "What about you?"
"I don't know... After I was caught, that thing suddenly screamed a few times and let me go. I lay on the ground and saw a hole in front of me, so I crawled into it. I have been hiding there until now. I only came out when I heard your voice." Xiao Qi said timidly.
Ji Mingxia asked in confusion: "When you were hiding in the podium, didn't you hear any other sounds? Yu Ning's voice, or Wei Zhen's scream?"
He remembered that after Xiaoqi disappeared, they all walked into the classroom until Ji Mingxia left. During this period, many people spoke and called Xiaoqi's name.
Xiao Qi shook her head: "No, there was no sound at all, it was very quiet, only your voice."
Ji Mingxia frowned slightly, unable to understand what was going on.
Could it be that this area is not based on rooms, but on a square space? Can the podium where Xiaoqi is hiding be interchangeable with the podiums in other classrooms
"It's so scary here, can we go out?" Just then, Xiaoqi pleaded.
Ji Mingxia looked at her and asked again: "Did the monster hurt you? Its mucus has a corrosive effect. Did it hurt you?"
"No." Xiao Qi said, and took a step towards Ji Mingxia. She took the initiative to pull up her sleeves and expose her arms. "If you don't believe me, check it out."
As she spoke, after showing her arms, she seemed afraid that Ji Mingxia would not believe her, so she lifted up her shirt and prepared to take off her clothes.
Ji Mingxia quickly said: "No, no, it's best if you're not injured."
"Then can we go out?" Xiao Qi took another step closer and asked.
Ji Mingxia secretly clenched the ring in his hand, his face calm. He said, "This door was opened with Liu Lin's key. She is not here, so we can't get out. If we walk out of the classroom, we can only move to the hotel or other teaching buildings. We have been wandering around in this area."
"Then we have to stay here forever?" Xiao Qi said fearfully.
Ji Mingxia looked around and seemed a little hesitant.
After he left here, his first reaction was to come back here to find Yu Ning, but he didn't expect that Yu Ning and the others had disappeared.
Did they go looking for him, or were they also transferred
According to his original plan, he wanted to continue waiting here, perhaps waiting for Yu Ning to come back, but looking at the surrounding environment, he had to say that this classroom was not a place to stay for a long time.
Even though the red light was blinding, there was a dead body in the corner of the classroom.
After the corpse has been left for a long time, it gradually rots and fester, oozing out pus, blood mixed with internal organs, and various human tissues into a pool of rotten water. It smells fishy and has a strong sweet smell. Once inhaled into the lungs, it feels like it is attached to the lungs and mouth, and the strong and disgusting stench lingers for a long time.
Although the corpse could not disappear after it resurrected, its remains still remained in the corner.
The whole classroom was filled with this smell at this moment. In just a moment, Ji Mingxia felt dizzy just by smelling the stench.
"Why don't we go somewhere else and find a safe place to rest." Ji Mingxia said.
"Okay, okay." Xiao Qi nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "It's better to find a place with water to drink. I'm so thirsty, my mouth is dry."
When Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning entered, they did bring some water and biscuits, but the backpack was on Yu Ning. At this moment, Ji Mingxia had nothing else in his hand except a cell phone and a ring.
Ji Mingxia said: "When we came back, we passed through a classroom office. There was a water dispenser inside. Let's see if we can get through it."
"Really?" Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, "Are there any drinks?"
"Yeah." Ji Mingxia said, walking slowly towards the door.
During this period, Xiaoqi's legs seemed to be numb. She moved her steps by holding the podium and soon reached the door.
Ji Mingxia had been observing her carefully the whole time. Xiaoqi seemed to have no other abnormalities except for her scary makeup. Seeing Xiaoqi about to cross the threshold, Ji Mingxia said, "Stop it."
Xiaoqi turned around and looked at Ji Mingxia curiously.
Ji Mingxia untied his shoelaces and handed one end to Xiaoqi: "Each room is an independent space. Once you step through the door, you will arrive at another room at random. Hold on to this shoelace, and let's walk together. Try not to get separated."
Seeing this, Xiaoqi smiled gratefully at Ji Mingxia, then took the shoelaces and tied one end around her wrist with great trust.
Ji Mingxia didn't expect Xiaoqi to trust her so much. After she tied a knot, she waited for his action. Under Xiaoqi's gaze, Ji Mingxia also tied a knot casually, and then the two of them walked out of the door together.
His vision blurred for a moment, and the next moment, Ji Mingxia and Xiao Qi were standing together in a utility room.
"Go on." Ji Mingxia said, and continued walking forward with Xiaoqi.
At first, Xiao Qi was very quiet, but with the occasional strange noises coming from all around, Xiao Qi gradually became uneasy. She huddled up into a ball, and trembling whimpers came from her throat.
Seeing her reaction, Ji Mingxia was worried that Xiaoqi was having a stress reaction, so he quickly whispered to comfort her, "The space here is disrupted. Although those voices are temporarily very close to us, once they try to break into a new room, they will be teleported to another place in an instant. As long as the room we land in is safe, even if there are monsters next door, they may not be able to catch us."
Xiao Qi curled up tremblingly, swallowing hard, and looked at Ji Mingxia timidly: "Really? Are they far away from us?"
"Well, don't worry." Ji Mingxia said.
Xiaoqi nodded, lowered her head and said nothing.
Ji Mingxia took Xiao Qi and walked through several rooms in succession. Occasionally, they saw mineral water bottles, but they were empty. Sometimes, they walked into a hotel room and finally found the faucet, but the water could not be turned on.
No water source was found, and there was no news of Yu Ning's whereabouts. As time passed, Ji Mingxia felt a little anxious.
However, seeing Xiaoqi's frightened look and thinking of her previous bad luck, Ji Mingxia couldn't show his inner anxiety. He could only continue to remain calm and continue moving forward with her.
In the blink of an eye, another ten minutes passed, and Xiaoqi's symptoms not only did not improve, but became more serious.
Ji Mingxia couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoqi, are you okay? If you feel too uncomfortable, can we take a rest first?"
"It's okay." Xiao Qi lowered her head and said in a trembling voice, "I'm just too thirsty. It feels like a burning fire. It hurts so much."
Ji Mingxia heard her voice become a little hoarse, and just wanted to say a few words of comfort, but the next moment, he heard Xiaoqi say: "Let's go, we feel very close, I hope we can find it quickly."
As she spoke, she moved her steps, took a few steps forward, and continued to shuttle back and forth with Ji Mingxia at a quick pace.
There was another blur in front of my eyes, and then a faint white light came from the front.
Ji Mingxia was almost getting used to the darkness all around him, but when he suddenly saw a light source, he unconsciously narrowed his eyes to avoid the light.
At the same time, Xiaoqi beside him screamed excitedly: "There's water! We found water!"
Xiao Qi said this, twisting her body hard and moving quickly forward.
Ji Mingxia and Xiaoqi's wrists were tied together. When Xiaoqi walked forward, Ji Mingxia was pulled forward a few steps.
He gradually adjusted to the light and looked around curiously.
This is a teacher's dormitory room. At this moment, they are in the living room, which is fully equipped with sofas, coffee tables, TV cabinets and other furniture.
There was indeed a water dispenser in the corner of the living room, but it had been knocked over, with the water tank tilted on the ground and the water inside long since empty.
A mobile phone was placed on the table with the flashlight mode on. Next to the phone, there was a person lying face down on the sofa. It was unclear whether he was asleep or unconscious.
Ji Mingxia was pulled forward by Xiaoqi. He didn't expect Xiaoqi to be so strong. He couldn't help but said, "Xiaoqi, the water tank is empty. There is no water here."
"Yes, yes, it's there!" Xiaoqi stared at the front with an unprecedentedly excited tone. She raised her hand excitedly and asked Ji Mingxia to point in the direction of the water source.
Ji Mingxia looked in the direction of her finger and was surprised to find that Xiaoqi was not pointing at the water tank, but at the sleeping person.
Ji Mingxia was startled and reflexively looked at Xiaoqi's face. She saw a greedy look on Xiaoqi's face and her eyes were fixed on the person on the sofa. At this moment, she was like a hungry ghost who had not eaten for several days and nights. She was ready to pounce on the person at any time and swallow him into her mouth.
A chill ran up his spine, Ji Mingxia stopped abruptly and pulled his hand back.
Xiaoqi took a step back unconsciously when he pulled her like that.
However, she obviously didn't care about Ji Mingxia's action and continued to move forward to approach the man.
Ji Mingxia hurriedly continued to hold her.
Xiao Qi was stopped by Ji Mingxia twice in a row. She turned her head and looked at Ji Mingxia in confusion: "Come on, drink some water, let's drink together."
Ji Mingxia pointed at the man on the sofa and asked, "You want to drink him?"
"Yes." Xiao Qi nodded repeatedly and urged, "I'm so thirsty, my mouth is almost burning with thirst... Let's go drink some water, hurry up."
Ji Mingxia secretly tightened his ring, continued to hold Xiaoqi, and advised: "That's not water, let's go, I'll find real water for you to drink."
Xiao Qi was stopped by Ji Mingxia again and again, and she immediately became impatient. She turned around and looked at Ji Mingxia with a hint of annoyance and grievance: "Why are you like this? Aren't you and me in the same group?"
Ji Mingxia was stunned by her question.
"It's because we came here together that I can't let you..." Eat people.
"I'm so thirsty. If I don't drink, I'll die of thirst..." After Ji Mingxia finished speaking, Xiao Qi's gaze fell on that person again.
Just at this moment, the man seemed to hear the noise, and moved slightly, preparing to get up.
Xiao Qi was immediately stimulated by the man's actions, and seemed to be afraid that he would run away. She screamed and suddenly pounced on the man.
Although Ji Mingxia grabbed Xiaoqi's body in time, the next second, Xiaoqi's face seemed to melt, her facial muscles trembled, and her skin and flesh surged. Countless whiskers grew rapidly from under the epidermis at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The fleshy whiskers were like countless tentacles, flying out from Xiaoqi's face flexibly, stretching into the air and turning into the shape of plant roots, "shuttle-shuttle" through the air and drilling straight towards the person on the sofa.
The person on the sofa had just woken up from his sleep. When he looked up, he saw countless pieces of flesh reaching out to him. He was completely terrified.
"Run!" Ji Mingxia shouted.
The man was startled and came back to his senses. His reaction was very quick. He rolled backwards several times and even did a backflip to avoid Xiaoqi's whiskers.
The "water source" that was about to reach her mouth ran away. Xiaoqi made a dissatisfied sound and struggled vigorously.
Ji Mingxia was in a state of panic. While Xiaoqi's mind was on that person, he quickly untied the shoelaces in his hand, then held the shoelaces with one hand and opened the door with the other hand. After Xiaoqi tripped, he suddenly pulled her behind the door.
Although Xiaoqi, with her face full of fleshy whiskers, looked scary, she was still a thin young woman. Ji Mingxia took advantage of her unpreparedness and finally pushed Xiaoqi out.
The space outside the door was random. Xiao Qi stood up quickly after landing and wanted to get in. However, as soon as she took a step forward, her figure disappeared from the spot in the next second.
Ji Mingxia saw this, breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly closed the door.
From the time Xiaoqi disappeared to the time she turned into a monster, it took less than an hour.
What happened in this hour that could cause an ordinary girl to mutate into a man-eating monster
Ji Mingxia was shocked and frightened. He turned around and looked at the other person in the room.
He was a young man about the same age as Ji Mingxia, with fair skin and good looks. He was wearing a navy blue pajamas with a high school uniform jacket on top.
Ji Mingxia looked over and the man was stunned for a moment. He raised his hand unconsciously, smoothed his hair with his fingers, adjusted his collar, then stood up and looked at Ji Mingxia.
