Chapter 480: Shell?

Yes! The 'man' standing within three meters of me did not blink a single time under my gaze, or rather, in the action of watching me......

Of course it's not right, you don't blink for a few minutes, that's something that only statues can do...... Wait a minute!

My heart moved, staring at the 'person' standing in front of me, gritting my teeth and taking a step closer, because I suddenly thought, this 'person' can't be a sculpture, right?

However, as soon as I took a closer step, I regretted it again, because by taking this closer step, I was able to see the whole body of this 'man' very clearly, and there was no trace of a statue above and below the circumference of this 'man', and it would certainly not be a statue, but a living thing.

But I've come close to this point, and this 'person' hasn't moved yet, so how can this 'person' be a living thing?

I couldn't figure it out, so I stretched out my hand and waved it in front of this 'person'.

There was no reaction, although this 'person' stared, he did not respond to my wave in the slightest, and it was really like a 'living statue'......

I frowned, and didn't think about it anymore, this repeated temptation had exhausted my patience, and I took another step directly in front of this 'person', but this 'person' still didn't react, still ignoring me.

So, I reached out and poked the hand that was placed on the chest of this 'person', but at this moment, I finally realized that something was wrong with this 'person'.

I saw that the five fingertips of this 'person' had no nails at all, and they were empty......

Yes! It was a hollow, as if some insect ant had drilled a hole in his five fingernails......

"Isn't it......"

I stared at it in silence, and of course I wondered why this 'man' was so motionless.

So without any scruples, he reached out and poked at this 'person's arm.

And with my fingers poking into the arm of this 'man', the arm of this 'man' is completely sunken......

It's not a fucking living thing at all, it's a skin! Or a shell!

Yes! It's a shell of skin! The real body has been detached, just like a crab that has shed its shell, leaving only an empty shell!

Of course, I was horrified, and in addition to the horror, a conjecture popped into my mind.

Could the 'person' who came up from this big hole come up like a crab after coming up, and then replace Lin Mu, who was beside me at the time, and shed his shell again, and replace Shen Li, who pulled me out of this room......

It's just that in an instant, I shook my head and denied my speculation, because it was obvious that during the period when Lin Mu became this 'person', I had been holding Lin Mu's hand, and so was Shen Li.

Then, if this 'person' took Lin Mu and Shen Li away in the form of shelling, then he would definitely not be able to keep holding hands with me during this period.

Therefore, even if the 'person' who came up from this big hole had the ability to shed his shell, it was completely impossible to explain how Lin Mu and Shen Li became his.

So what's going on?

I couldn't figure it out, so I carefully observed the empty shell in front of me, until I went around the empty shell and went to the back of the empty shell skin, and then I found that behind the empty shell and skin, there was a crack that ran through the top and bottom, and the body of the 'person' in the big hole must have taken off from this crack......

Just as the fog was blowing and we were leaning against the wall of this room, the 'man' in the big hole took off his empty shell skin......

This clue can basically be determined, but this clue can't explain the mutation between Lin Mu and Shen Li......

After thinking about it, he looked at the wall in the middle of this room again, thinking that if my speculation was correct, the people in this big hole took off their shells after going up to this big hole, then the wall in this room at this time was originally where Lin Mu was standing at that time, and there should also be a shell of the 'people' in the big hole.

However, the fog in the room was still thick, and I turned my head to look at the wall in the room, and I couldn't see anything.

So I approached the wall of the room again, step by step, with extreme caution.

Until the dense fog in the line of sight, the silhouette of a figure leaning against the room appeared, and it was not surprising that it was the outline of the 'person' in the big hole.

The same slender arms, the same mouth with two pincers, stood against the wall of the room, just like a statue.

Of course, he didn't let his guard down until he gradually got closer, and he saw that the outline of this black shadow was indeed the appearance of the 'person' in the big hole.

He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the 'man' in the big hole against the wall.

There was no response, and it seemed that as I thought, the figure leaning against the wall in the room was also the shell of the 'person' in the big hole......

The 'man' in the big hole, when the fog hit, climbed up the big hole, and molted near the big hole, using the body to attract my attention.

Then, he went to Lin Mu's side again, took Lin Mu away in a way that I couldn't even notice when I was holding Lin Mu's hand, and shed his body again...... Wait a minute!

I frowned and shook my head, because this might not be true at all.

Because I clearly remember that Lin Mu was on my right hand and Shen Li was on my left hand side at that time, and this 'person' who came up from the big hole was also on the left hand side, so if this 'person' who came up from the big hole wanted to take Lin Mu away, then he had to pass in front of us to reach my right hand.

And when he got up to this room, he was molting motionless in the confines of the great hole, so he must not have bypassed us, or we would have noticed.

After he molted, the only direction we could go that we couldn't perceive was the direction of the big hole behind him.

Then, he took Lin Mu away, unless there was a big hole under the position where Lin Mu was standing at the time, and that big hole was also connected to the big hole of the 'person', only if this condition was met, he could take Lin Mu away under our noses.

Thinking about it, he also looked down at the ground of the 'human' body in front of him.

Of course, there was nothing, and if there was a large hole, we should have found it when we searched the room before.

So, what kind of means did the 'person' in the big hole use to take Lin Mu away and fake it under our noses?

I couldn't figure it out at all, so I closed my eyes and let out a long breath.

For I found that my speculation was completely futile, because the point of all this strangeness could not be explained, no matter how much I speculated.

And this point is that Shen Li clearly said in my ear "look back" when he took me out of this room.

At that time, Shen Li was definitely Shen Li, and his voice would not deceive.

And when Shen Li took me out of the room, Shen Li was not Shen Li, but became the 'person' in the big hole......

This is completely unbelievable, and it is completely beyond my understanding, and as long as I don't find out the reason for this point, no amount of speculation will be futile......

I gritted my teeth fiercely, I only felt that I had never been so powerless, in the underground fortifications at the source of this evil cave, everything was beyond my cognition, and my ability was so small that it was insignificant......

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to suppress all the negative emotions in my heart, however, the moment I opened my eyes again, my whole body froze in a posture of bowing my head.

For I could only see the five fingers and toes of the shell of the 'man' in the big hole in front of me...... It turned out to be a fingernail......

For a moment, I felt a chill in my heart, and I did not burst out because of this, but tried my best to suppress the horror in my heart, and raised my head slightly towards the body of the 'person' in the big hole in front of me.

Of course, the moment he looked up, he quickly glanced at the five fingers of the palm of the 'human' in the big hole.

There is no accident, the same nails are raw, which means that what is standing in front of me at this time is not a shell, but a 'person' in the big hole......

I don't know why he didn't move, maybe it was for his purpose, or maybe it was to play tricks on me......

suppressed the wild beat in his heart, did not show the same expression, shook his head slightly and sighed, then turned around and took this opportunity to leave.

However, just as I turned around, I only keenly heard the 'person' in the big hole behind me moving......

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and slashed down with the black knife, and the Taidao in his other hand picked up, and slashed at the 'person' in the big hole in front of him with a kind of attack like closing the door.

Sure enough, the 'man' in the big hole in front of him, in a cold drink, raised his slender hands, and directly grabbed my hands and wrists before my black knife and tai knife slashed at his body!

Grass! Because of habit, I didn't calculate the length of his arms at all, and I never thought that his arms would be long enough to grab my wrists with both hands!

I was horrified and annoyed in my heart, but I finally understood the power in Lin Mu's mouth.

For me, this is really a completely crushing force, as if the hands of the 'man' in this big hole are a hydraulic shears, he wants to open, no one can press the scissors on both sides to stop him from opening, he wants to close, and in the same way, what is caught in the center can only be split in two.

Even I can't imagine how Lin Mu lasted so long under his pull when he was in the big hole......

In an instant's horror, the 'man' in this big hole directly stretched my hands apart with his slender arms, and his long pair of pincer-like mouths also leaned towards my neck.

I was shocked in my heart, of course I understood what the 'people' in this big hole wanted to do, and I didn't hesitate to mobilize the fire in my heart. The hot breath directly converged on the uncontrollable black knives that rushed into my hands.

Yes! At this time, I was grabbed by the wrist of the 'person' in the big hole, and I couldn't control the black knife at all, but even if I couldn't control the black knife, this scorching. After the hot breath poured into the black knife, it should also be able to force back the 'person' in the big hole that was about to bite my neck.

However, everything in this world often backfires......
