Chapter 13: The Real and the Unreal
"It should be morning now......" Karl stretched his stiff lumbar spine. It's a new day, a new beginning.
It's just that in the next second, the whole person stiffened for a while.
He looked around suspiciously, his brow furrowed, "Where is this?" What about them? ”
He was in the cubicle of a toilet, which was supposed to be in a mall. And he didn't have any impression of it at all.
Carl pushed open the door to the toilet cubicle, gasped, and took a few steps back.
"Hoo ......"
"Who is so cruel?"
Looking at the pile of intestines and some eyeballs in the wash tray, Carl's stomach churned, and an inexplicable chill broke out all over his body. "Damn, why am I here?"
Carl's face was a little ugly, he couldn't imagine that he would encounter such a strange thing in his sleep.
Bah...... Bah......
As Karl pondered, the intestines on the tray began to coalesce, and a large amount of flesh and blood wriggled, turning from the size of a basketball to an indescribable object two people tall.
The whole process was only three seconds, and Carl looked at the things with a blank expression, and the monster looked at Carl as well.
"Run!"
Carl didn't wait, but ran out with a bump, but after all, it was a step too late, and the monster swept Carl's legs with a bowel whip, causing him to fall to the ground in pain.
"Ah!!h
Carl was lying on the ground screaming, his eyes were red and almost bursting, and his hands were crawling forward on the ground, he was going to get out of here!
It's just that it backfired.
"Shhh
A flash of light flashed, and Karl's hands were cut off at the root, blood pouring out of the severance, making his pain even worse.
The unspeakable monster rolled up the dying Carl with his intestines and hung it in the air, and a cone-shaped intestine stretched out from the monster's back, aiming it at Carl's head.
"Haha... Kill me! Karl gave it a defiant look with the last of his strength.
Just as Carl was facing death, he felt his consciousness suddenly detach from this space.
……
"Gaga...... Ga...... ......" Karl opened his eyes suddenly, got up from the futon on the ground, and covered his pale face.
"Wake up, wake up!" There were many voices around him at once, and Carl could distinguish a few familiar voices, such as Rosa's, and Jisi's little Lori.
"What's going on?" He asked.
"I'm sorry I forgot to tell you not to sleep more than five hours or you'll end up in unexplained nightmares." Kiss apologized.
"Why is there such a strange rule? Could it be that some monster has walked into here? He asked, puzzled.
No, it's an "evil" idea. To put it simply, "evil" is the origin of all this, and it is also the most indescribable thing in the world, no one can say its real name pronunciation, and can only replace it with an approximation. Ji Si replied patiently.
"Don't talk about it yet, let me digest it." Karl raised his hand to stop. His mind was now in a mess, like a full trash can.
"Evil", the origin of everything?
Hey? Wrong?
Rosa had always told me that no one knew what happened that night, which meant that it was impossible to know who was behind it, let alone name it, and everyone including her had been trying to find the truth, but no one had ever found any clues.
But why would Kiss know and Rosa didn't react when she was around?
"Hey! I said, why do you know ......?"
Laugh at......
"Curtain ...... After...... Black...... The hand ......" Karl broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes were wide open, he lowered his head to cover his blood-spurting left chest, and fell to the ground in disbelief.
……
"Gaga...... Ga...... ......" Karl opened his eyes suddenly, got up from the futon on the ground, and covered his pale face.
"Wake up, wake up!" There were many voices around him at once, and Carl could distinguish a few familiar voices, such as Rosa's, and Jisi's little Lori.
"Don't come here!" He roared, his body backing back, "You are all evil creatures, just wearing a human skin, don't try to fool me again!! ”
"Really?" Kiss blinked her blue eyes.
"Huh...... You pig butts finally admit it, right? Carl sneered. He knew he must still be in a dream, but he didn't know how to get out for the time being.
"Inherit your size!" Ji Si cursed, punching him in the abdomen.
"Originally, everyone thought you were dead, but you woke up yourself." She wondered with her hands on her chest.
Depend on! Do you curse Lao Tzu to die? You...... You......
Karl's face changed pale, and he slapped himself a few times before he said.
"Am I really back?"
"But what the hell is going on?"
"You don't remember how you escaped?" Almost all asked.
Carl's heart was full of nausea, and he remembered that he had been dismembered by an unspeakable monster, and the pain and helplessness were still vivid. How could he not remember!! But, contrary to what she said, he died.
"I don't remember." Carl rubbed his temples and didn't answer honestly. Because he doesn't know what kind of situation he is in.
"Alas, it was my negligence that I forgot to tell you not to sleep for more than five hours." Ji Si said a little apologetically, even if she didn't like Carl's weakness very much, she didn't show it at this time.
After all, in her mind, she almost killed Carl.
"It's good to come back, although you are lucky to succeed. But there's no denying that you're more talented than most. Kiss's eyes flashed with something called appreciation, and she stopped looking down on Carl for the time being.
"Forget it, don't have a next time, my life is also very precious." Carl looked like he didn't care. Now that they have apologized, it is not good for him to be unforgiving. More importantly, it can increase her liking for herself.
"By the way, I want to know about those unspeakable taboos, can you tell me?" Carl looked like a serious student.
His request made Ji Si a little confused, she thought to herself that normal people should not escape from this place, how far and how far to go? Why would anyone want to reach out to them instead. She couldn't tell what Carl was thinking.
"You're really not afraid?" She asked tentatively.
"How can you not be afraid." Carl shook his head, "It's just that sooner or later you have to face it, it's better to come early than late, I'm not the kind of person who likes to escape." ”
Kiss stared at Carl's face, who was covered in sweat and coughed a few times.
"Alright, you've passed." Ji Si smiled and said, "You're welcome to join." She held out her friendly right hand.
"Well, I'll try!" Carl excitedly stretched out his right hand and shook it with her.
