Chapter 111 Fishing Village (8)

You Zui's heart skipped a beat.

Just now Lania said that no one in this village can be trusted, but isn't he also a person in this village?

So what he just said, is it true or false?

Realizing that he was about to fall into the quagmire of confusion, You Zui decisively interrupted his thoughts and did not continue thinking.

"Then...can I trust you?"

He hesitated and bit his lip, and looked at the boy who was slightly shorter than himself under the bloody moonlight.

You Zui stretched out his hand and held his hand back, his slender eyelashes trembling uncomfortably, like two pitch-black butterflies docked at nowhere.

"So, you will protect me, right?"

He rolled his Adam's apple, looking innocent and naive looking for help from the person in front of him, like a drowning person on the surface of the sea trying to grab his last straw.

Obviously the person in front of him looks younger than himself, but You Zui has an inexplicable sense of dependence on him for some reason.

In his heart, he seemed certain that the young man in front of him could take him out of here...

Or, he has no one else to rely on.

And for an overly weak beauty like him, of course, he must have someone to rely on in order to survive.

Lania's eyes darkened for a moment, but she quickly smiled again.

The shadow of his clothes flickered with his movements under the moonlight, like angel wings.

"certainly."

"Don't worry, brother."

They continued to wander on the street, actively avoiding the shadows of all the buildings.

You Zui watched something wriggling seep out of the shadows of those buildings, looking for something around, the shadows gave him a bad feeling.

And all the places that were not illuminated by the blood-colored moonlight appeared that kind of dark shadow.

Perhaps the appearance of these shadows is why Rania said they could not stay in the building anymore.

After meeting the old lady who was wandering around the intersection, they never met anyone else.

It was just that soon a rustling sound came from the side of the fishing village, as if there were many legs rubbing against the ground.

"Oops, how did those things on the bottom of the sea climb up?"

Lania's expression became ugly in an instant.

He took You Zui's hand and ran towards the only building in the fishing village that was lit.

He ran decisively, without even a little hesitation.

You Zui looked back, and saw that a layer of dark-colored things seemed to climb up from the seaside, wriggling densely.

Looking carefully, what he vaguely protruded from the pitch black were dry arms. The arms were dry and slender, but they undoubtedly belonged to humans.

It was a weird round "crab" supported by human hands. It emerged from the bottom of the sea like a carpet, crawled to the streets of the fishing village, and searched for food with countless human hands.

These creatures look like the product of forcibly combining human bodies, weird and absurd, where there is only a wriggling black mass of flesh, stretching out on top of the mass of human hands.A mouth with huge ferocious fangs.

The hands on their bodies were wet with salty moisture, and some were entangled with human hair.

Like the tide, these weird crabs surged up from under the sea surface, occupying all the ground in the fishing village. The monsters hiding in the room seemed to have calmed down at this moment, quietly waiting for the black sea outside.The tide receded.

The bell that had been faintly ringing in their ears could no longer be heard.

And You Zui watched helplessly as those hands passed by some houses, and those hands dragged some unhidden monsters out of them.

Those hideous-looking monsters hardly had any power to fight back under the hands of these things that climbed up from the bottom of the sea, and soon shattered into countless pieces.

You Zui even saw a familiar human face among those caught by the hand, it was another player who entered this dungeon with him.

Before he even had time to struggle, he was swallowed by those black tides, and finally became the rations of those monsters.

Fortunately, before the black tide spread to You Zui's body, he and La Dasi hid in the building with lights in time.

Pushing open the heavy door, the two of them closed the door together, and then they were relieved.

The previous strong fishy smell disappeared, and what You Zui smelled instead was a pungent smell of disinfectant.

"This is...the hospital?"

The hall of the hospital looks spacious and tidy, and the lights on the ceiling emit dazzling lights, illuminating everything here.

You Zui looked at the guidance desk in the lobby, there was no one inside, only a pool of bright red sticky blood flowing down from it, and a few note cards were scattered here and there.

"This village doesn't look big, but is there a hospital of this size?"

You Zui couldn't figure it out, but he didn't have time to think about it.

Because soon, there were footsteps coming from the stairs, as well as faint voices.

"How is the condition of the patients in Ward 01?"

"After trying a new drug and getting better, he no longer fantasizes about his 'lover' whom he loves so much.

Not always trying to commit suicide, but he can still see 'visions', I think his potion should be increased."

Said a younger and sweeter voice that sounded like a nurse.

"This will allow him to be treated more effectively."

"Fine." The doctor replied.

"That's a suggestion to consider."

Seeing that the two were approaching immediately, and the hall was empty, there was no room for them to hide.

In desperation, Lania pulled him to squat under the guiding table.

This position is actually extremely bold, because as long as the two of them take two steps forward, they can see them hiding.

Both of them held their breath, but fortunately, the two didn't notice them, and they didn't come to the consultation desk to check.

The footsteps gradually faded away, You Zui breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole face turned red involuntarily.

Lania squatted beside him, very close to his face, at this moment she gently reached out to brush the hair hanging from his forehead, and brushed his hot side face with her fingertips.

Ruoyu lightly wiped it on his lips.

This action is a bit too ambiguous.

You Zui tilted his head sensitively, avoiding his contact.

"Brother, are you okay?"

It's just that the young man's attitude seemed so sincere and sincere, You Zui couldn't help but feel that he was just being supercilious.

"No... nothing..."

"Just where are we going now?"

"The crabs outside haven't left yet, we can only stay in the hospital for one night tonight."

Lars frowned and said.

"The hospital is not safe either. Brother, you have to pay special attention. You must not be discovered by those doctors or nurses, because once they are discovered, they will be regarded as 'patients' and locked in the ward, and then go to the hospital again.It’s also hard to leave.”

"When I first entered this village, I was imprisoned once by that bad doctor in this hospital, and it took me a long time to escape."

"But, I'm obviously not sick...why would I be treated as a sick person...?"

You Zui frowned.

"Because we are different from them, just like we see them as monsters, in their view, we are also flaws with weird looks, so...

We also need to treat patients..."

Rania chuckled, but there was a glint of disgust in his eyes.

"There is no normal person in this village for a long time. It is full of monsters with twisted minds. Any normal human who does not conform to their common sense enters it. They can only be eaten or transformed. There are two ways to go..”

But You Zui remembered his main mission, that vague so-called mission of finding the secrets of the villagers.

so he asked.

"Since this village is full of monsters, do you know how these villagers turned into monsters?"

"Or... do these villagers have a hidden, common secret?"

"secret?"

Lania seemed to think of something.

"Everyone who comes here has a secret of their own hidden in their hearts.

This village is also a place where people bury their secrets. At the very beginning, this village was like an ocean that silently swallowed all the secrets in everyone's hearts."

"And those people were finally able to abandon the heavy package that almost crushed them before, throw away their secrets, return to their normal lives, and continue their lives."

"But as more and more secrets were buried here, the fishing village finally started to breed resentment."

Rania held You Zui's hand, but instead of looking into his eyes, she looked towards the sky.

If there is no obstruction from the roof, what he should be looking at at this time is the full moon above his head.

"Because the deepest secret, even if it can be buried for a while, it cannot be buried for a lifetime."

"Those discarded secrets eventually gave birth to eyes, gave birth to legs, and turned into the most terrifying nightmare.

They'll find the one who left them, and they'll cling to them...until they die."

Under his tone, You Zui shivered silently. He felt the piercing clamminess from the young man holding his wrist, almost as if he was imprisoned by icy metal.

The temperature hardly seemed to emanate from a living person.

"Brother, you want to know the secrets of the villagers in this village...

But what is your secret?"

The wrist bones were gently rubbed, and tremors spread throughout the body.

You Zuimeng then took a step back, like a rabbit sensing the threat of some kind of predator, pricking up its long ears vigilantly.

His fingers were on the edge of the table, his knuckles turned white, and he distanced himself from Rania.

In an invisible place behind them, an indifferent face watched them quietly from the peeking window of the ward.
