CHAPTER XXXI

Bungalow Maze(2)

That's right, the knock is getting louder and louder. Just as Liu Ting finished speaking, Shen Kuo also heard it, and the voice did come from within the wall. Or rather, the other side of the wall.

So what could it be?

Shen Kuo put his ear to the wall in confusion and listened carefully. Suddenly, his face changed dramatically. With a scream of 'no', the man quickly moved to the side. At the same time, he hugged Liu Ting.

With inertia, the two of them rolled away on the ground and rolled to the dining table. Shen Kuo's head hit the corner of the dining table, he snorted, didn't shout, and pressed the pain in his heart. Liu Ting, on the other hand, was slightly better, she rolled into the corner and knocked over a few empty beer bottles.

Shen Kuo's reaction was still quite fast, if it wasn't for his quick dodge, I'm afraid that he and Liu Ting would have become a pile of mud by now, not to mention leaving here, even their lives would be gone.

It happened very suddenly, at this critical moment. A wall that was originally good was suddenly violently slammed into a big hole. The original humanoid monster, still with that weird smile, rushed out.

Shen Kuo and Liu Ting curled up in the corner of the dining table. This time, they saw it for real. The humanoid monster is not much different from a real human, but it is not a human, it is a human made of gray-black bricks.

This brick man is not wearing any clothes, and judging by the rough lines, the brick man is solid and strong. The well-defined muscle masses stand out in bright light. Not to mention that he is a brick monster, he is a real person, Shen Kuo is probably also a defeated general, and he can only be slaughtered by others.

The brick freak rushed out and looked around. Shen Kuo found that on its right arm, a piece was obviously missing. Shen Kuo immediately reacted, this was exactly the piece he kicked last time.

In other words, wherever they go, as long as they are in this labyrinth, everything will revolve around them. Even if every room is really copied, then even the places that have changed will be copied. The only ones that have not been copied are probably only him and Liu Ting.

In other words, unless you find a way to leave and crack the clues of the maze. Otherwise, the nightmare will stay with them until the end of their lives.

And at this moment, Liu Ting couldn't help but scream. Shen Kuo wanted to stop it, but it was too late. He immediately turned his gaze to the brick freak and stared at it.

As expected, the brick monster, who was still blind, heard the sound as if he had found some kind of direction, some kind of goal.

It turned slowly, and as it turned, brick debris and gray dust particles fell from its body. Where it walked, a piece fell.

Seeing the brick monster approaching them, Liu Ting timidly lowered her voice and asked, "Cousin, it's coming, what should we do?"

Shen Kuo covered Liu Ting's mouth with his hand and motioned for her not to speak.

Now, Shen Kuo has no better way to do it, so he can only act at the opportunity. However, he noticed that the brick freak was still relatively slow. That is, it is still very possible for them to dodge the attacks of the brick monsters.

Of course, the brick monster's attack is also deadly. Once hit, there is no chance of survival.

Therefore, Shen Kuo is waiting for such an opportunity. He wanted to see how the monster was attacking them.

At the same time, defense is essential.

Shen Kuo didn't have any weapons on his body except for a flashlight. He picked up two empty wine bottles nearby, and Liu Ting hid behind him.

The brick freak was already very close, and it suddenly stopped, and its two gray-black eyes rolled a few times. seems to be observing Shen Kuo and Liu Ting.

Shen Kuo was not to be outdone, he raised two wine bottles, ready to move randomly.

The brick freak seemed to have found its target, and a hideous smile gradually appeared on its face. That kind of laugh is stiff and at the same time a little scary.

Therefore, Shen Kuo's current focus is not on anything else, but the brick monster's every move. As long as he doesn't concentrate enough, there is a good chance that he will make a big mistake. At this critical moment of life and death, Shen Kuo did not dare to slack off.

The brick freak slowly approached the two of them with heavy steps. With each step it tomped, even the ground trembled slightly. One can imagine how powerful the brick monster is.

After a while, the brick monster came to Shen Kuo's side. Shen Kuo held his breath and stared at it without blinking.

At this time, the brick monster raised its feet without hesitation and stepped on Shen Kuo. The strength is fierce and Shen Kuo has never seen before.

Of course, Shen Kuo was already ready. At the moment when the brick monster raised his foot, Shen Kuo also shot at the same time. I saw two beer bottles, at a speed like the wind, smash into the brick monster that attacked me. The foot that was lifted in the middle of the two beer bottles made two crunch sounds.

At the same time, Shen Kuo rolled on the spot and rolled to the other corner of the dining table, avoiding the attack of the brick monster.

The beer bottle smashed into the brick monster's leg and shattered and fell apart in an instant. There were several pieces of glass that flew past Shen Kuo's head.

Almost broke the phase.

And the brick freak acted as if nothing had happened, and its feet were still slammed down.

The ground shook and splashed dust flew all over the sky. Covering the brick monster's face, it also covered Shen Kuo's eyes.

Shen Kuo didn't hesitate, he quickly shifted his position again. Pulled up Liu Ting, who was still in a daze, and turned behind the brick weirdo. He knew that he couldn't fight hard with the brick weirdos, and he couldn't fight at all. The only thing he can do is dodge and escape. Unless, he can find the weakness of the brick freak. But does it have weaknesses? Shen Kuo is doubtful.

One hit misses, and the brick freak seems to be angry. I can't imagine that a monster with no mind and only a human appearance can get angry. This surprised Shen Kuo.

The brick freak raised his hands in anger as if screaming, but could not hear a sound. Hands waving in the air, attracting gusts of wind.

Liu Ting was extremely frightened, and her hand never left Shen Kuo for a moment. His face became pale and pale, without a trace of blood. She lowered her voice and said, 'Cousin, I'm so scared.'

Shen Kuo patted the back of Liu Ting's hand and said comfortingly: "Tingting, don't be afraid. You can see that the thing is terrifying, but it is sluggish. I mean, even though we've fought it, we've had plenty of time to dodge it. Don't worry, Tingting, it's going to be fine.'

'Is that really the case?'

Shen Kuo nodded very seriously. The next thing he had to do was get out of the room. Although, there is a good chance that there is still the same danger in the next room. But Shen Kuo believes that there will definitely be a little respite.

So, he and Liu Ting came to a door. This door is not the one that follows Duffy's cries for help, nor is it the one that goes against Duffy's cries for help.

Shen Kuo's heart knows very well that only by taking different paths can it be possible to get out of the predicament and get out of the labyrinth.

At this time, the brick monster's strong body actually lifted the dining table, which was at least one meter by one meter. It lifts the table high and with ease. The gesture was about to smash Shen Kuo and the two of them, and he did not hesitate to smash them.

Shen Kuo saw that things were not good, but fortunately, he was already standing by the door, and one of his hands was already on the doorknob. Seeing the brick monster holding the table high, he pulled Liu Ting. The two men dodged at the same time and disappeared into the door.

As soon as he entered the door, Shen Kuo quickly closed the door. Although he knew it, it didn't work at all. But he did it anyway, which was kind of a comfort to himself.

I just wanted to catch my breath, but I heard the whirring wind in my ears. Shen Kuo looked back, and his face changed greatly. screamed 'not good', pushed Liu Ting down casually, and flew sideways to the other side.

If it weren't for Shen Kuo's quick response, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

Because, the brick weird in this room actually followed the action in the previous room, threw the dining table, and smashed it into Shen Kuo and the two. The only difference is that the positions of both sides have changed. One is in the east and one is in the west.

If it weren't for Shen Kuo's consciousness being quite awake, he really doubted if he was dreaming. A long, never-to-be-wake nightmare.

The brick freak misses a blow and starts to get angry again. Its hands were raised in the air and slammed into the wall with one punch at the other. The whole room shook as if it was about to collapse.

And the brick freak is still smashing punch after punch, and the stones are splashing, making the whole room restless and embarrassed.

But the strange thing is that no matter how the brick freak smashes, the wall that doesn't look solid just doesn't fall down, just doesn't break. Only the rubble that keeps falling can prove that it is being mercilessly abused.

Of course, Shen Kuo still saw the hole that appeared in the center of the wall. It was left by the brick monster when he appeared, and Shen Kuo didn't pay much attention to it before. Now that his angle is right on the hole, he can see it clearly.

However, he saw nothing. In that broken hole, it was black and there was nothing. It's like a bottomless pit that suddenly pops up, and it's terrifyingly deep.

Liu Ting hid to the side, holding her head in her hands, trembling all over. She wanted to scream, but she didn't dare to scream.

Shen Kuo saw this, and while moving in her direction, he whispered, "Tingting, don't be afraid, I'll come over immediately." When Shen Kuo came to her side, Liu Ting couldn't help but hug Shen Kuo. Her eyes were moist and she almost burst into tears.

Shen Kuo patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's not a way to go on like this, even if we don't get killed by it, sooner or later we will have to be played to death by it. Gotta think of a way, think of a way......' Shen Kuo muttered, but his eyes never left the brick freak.

Strange to say, the brick freak suddenly fell silent after smashing the wall a few times. It stood straight, staring at the wall in a daze.

Liu Ting finally recovered from her fright, and she said, "Cousin, I have found a suspicious point, but I don't know if it is useful." As she spoke, she looked at Shen Kuo, wanting to see his reaction.

Of course, Shen Kuo was surprised, and he said eagerly: "What is it, you can tell me about it."

'I found that everything in every room was the same, only one place was different.' Liu Ting said, stretching out her hand and pointing to the location that was originally the dinner table. She continued: 'The number of beer bottles is not right. I remember when we first came in, there was only one beer bottle, and now there are nine. The number of beer bottles in each room varies, sometimes there are more and sometimes there are less. Cousin, what's going on?'

Different numbers of beer bottles? Shen Kuo really never paid attention to this. He involuntarily turned his head to the corner of the wall to the side, and counted nine empty beer bottles. And, of course, the two he smashed before.

'Could it be that this is the clue to get out of the labyrinth?' Shen Kuo muttered to himself, but he wasn't completely sure yet. And to confirm this, the only thing that can be done is to experience it for yourself, and maybe it will really be quite rewarding.

Thinking of this, Shen Kuo's face finally showed a little smile. He said to Liu Ting: 'Tingting, whether it's true or not, we have to try it. Perhaps, this is the only way out for us.'

'Cousin, what should we do then?'

So that every room has three doors. You and I enter both of them at the same time and find the correct room we are looking for. Then, call another person. So far, we have to try this blind way.'

'Good cousin, I listen to you.'

Before the plan was agreed, Shen Kuo looked at the three ordinary doors in the room. He pointed to one of them and said, 'Now let's go our separate ways, I'll go this way, you go that way.' Tingting remember, be sure to be fast. We can't afford to give that weird thing too much time to think.'

Liu Ting nodded understandingly.

The two of them were just about to start moving, but the brick freak who had been stunned suddenly moved. It dragged its heavy body and slowly turned around. Then, open your arms. Even the brick-like mouth was just as wide as if it were about to swallow a person.

Shen Kuo didn't know what that guy wanted to do, he urged Liu Ting: 'Hurry up, that guy is going crazy again.'

So, the two of them ran to the two doors as fast as they could. Almost at the same time, two doors were opened. As for what miracles will await them behind the door, it is unknown.

As soon as Shen Kuo opened the door, he saw that the original dining table was gone. Shen Kuo didn't think much about it, he quickly swept it. That's right, there are eight beer bottles in the corner.

Excited, he immediately withdrew. I happened to see Liu Ting at the door of the site. Seeing Shen Kuo, she said eagerly: 'Cousin, I'm not right here.'

'With me.' Shen Kuo beckoned. Liu Ting quickly ran towards him. As soon as he stood firm, he heard something strange behind him. Both of them turned back at the same time, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw that in the mouth of the brick monster, I don't know when the road started, countless red liquids gushed out. The red one was like blood and was already covered with a large patch of the floor. And in the red liquid, something seemed to be wriggling. It's very small, but it's a lot of it.

'What are those?' It's scary.' Liu Ting screamed.

Shen Kuo pulled her over: "Don't think so much, let's go!" Say it's late, that's fast. The two of them quickly flashed through the door.

However, they are not out of danger. On the contrary, the bad luck of the two has just begun.

The next room may be right, but the same danger exists.

As soon as he entered the door, Shen Kuo saw that the ubiquitous brick monster was still spitting red liquid there. It's just a little bit of a change in location. At this time, the red liquid had covered most of the floor of the room, and only a small area where the two of them were standing had not yet been touched. It's just that at this rate, it won't take more than a minute to spread to the feet of the two of them.

Liu Ting asked in a panic: 'Cousin, what should we do?'

At this time, Shen Kuo seemed to be calm for ten years. He said, 'There is no other way but to break in. Tingting, let's follow the method we just did. Be sure to be fast and don't hesitate.'

Liu Ting gritted her teeth and nodded her head twice.

The two of them split up and opened two of the doors separately. After a while, the two of them retreated separately. Shaking his head at the same time, it doesn't seem right.

The red liquid in the room was still increasing, and it didn't mean to abate. When two people step on these liquids, they always feel sticky, as if there is a suction force that wants to suck the two of them firmly on the ground.

The two men came to the third door, and when they opened it, they saw that there were seven empty beer bottles lying on the ground. But at the same time, the red liquid has spilled over their ankles.

Shen Kuo found another strange place, that is, the red liquid in the two rooms did not violate each other. That is, the red liquid in the previous room did not pour into the next room because the door was opened. Similarly, the red liquid in the next room, when it arrives at the door, only lingers and ripples at the door. Definitely not a step beyond the thunder pool.

What does the new discovery prove? Shen Kuo couldn't figure it out. The only thing he could think of was that each room was a separate space, and they didn't invade each other.

As soon as Liu Ting took two steps, she felt more and more pain in her feet. Although it is light, every point on the whole foot seems to be dullly painful and a little itchy. Liu Ting couldn't stand it anymore, she lifted one foot and wanted to see what was going on.

It didn't matter if it looked at it, it scared Liu Ting a lot. When she saw the sight on her feet, she couldn't believe her eyes and almost fainted.

On Liu Ting's feet, there are countless tiny insects crawling densely. These insects are not big, only the size of a grain of rice, and their whole body is milky white. It's a bit like a common rice worm, but it's shorter and smaller than a rice worm. On its head, there are also two long antennae.

Bugs are not scary, what is scary is the number. It's too many to count.

And on Liu Ting's partially exposed ankles, stains of blood can already be clearly seen. That said, these little ones either like to eat meat or like to drink blood. All in all, very scary.

Shen Kuo never expected that among the red liquid that spewed out of the brick monster's mouth, there were still these things. And his own feet have begun to ache faintly.

Liu Ting's emotions were a little excited, and she was so nervous that she didn't dare to put her feet down again. God knows what kind of disaster these bugs will bring to them. And herself, what she has been most afraid of since she was a child, is these caterpillars. She was disgusted and wanted to vomit.

She asked Shen Kuo anxiously: "Cousin, what should we do!" Will these bugs kill us? Suck our blood dry and eat up our flesh.'

Shen Kuo didn't dare to guarantee it, but he had heard of an ant called the Desert Marching Ant. Everywhere you go, in a moment, no matter how big an animal is, it will turn into a pile of white bones in an instant.

At the moment, these white insects will have the same effect, Shen Kuo really doesn't know how to go. But one thing is the same, they are all small in size and huge in number.

Shen Kuo didn't come up with a better way for a while. He scanned the room covered in red liquid, looking for an answer, or a way out.

He said to Liu Ting: 'This is not the way to go, even if we enter the next room, we will encounter the same situation, or even worse.'

'So what do we do?'

'The only way to stop this from happening, at least to stop the monster from spewing liquid.' Shen Kuo glanced at the brick monster who was still spraying from a distance.

'How to stop it?' Liu Ting is now confused and completely out of ideas.

Shen Kuo glanced at the brick monster again, and he couldn't think of a way to stop it for a while. And right now, the brick freak is squirting more and more red liquid. The liquid on the ground is rising at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. If this continues, it won't be long before this little room will be everywhere. At that time, the two of them will really beg for the heavens and the earth.

So, what about moving on to the next room? Shen Kuo didn't dare to imagine that the ending should not be much worse.

Suddenly, he saw the double cot in the left corner. Without thinking about it, he picked up Liu Ting and jumped on the double bed. At this time, the red liquid has not yet spread to the small bed, and the two of them can at least rest for a while.

After getting on the small bed, Liu Ting, who had calmed down, felt the soreness in her feet even more. She shook with all her might, and countless worms shook off her shoes and fell into the red liquid.

Liu Ting hurriedly took off her shoes, only to find that there were red spots everywhere on the originally delicate girl's jade feet. Above the spots, a dozen milky white worms are wriggling.

It turned out that these little insects had penetrated through the cracks in her shoes and into them, so it was no wonder that she felt a burst of soreness. So, she tried the same way to shake off the hateful bugs. But the strange thing is that she shook for a long time, and not a single bug fell. She was very puzzled, and her eyes looked at Shen Kuo.

Shen Kuo touched it in his pocket and finally found a lighter. He gently put Liu Ting's two bare feet on his legs, lit a lighter and said, "Bear with me, it may hurt a little."

Liu Ting nodded, indicating that she understood.

The flames slowly moved to the body of the insects, and as soon as the insects touched the flames, their whole bodies immediately shrank into a ball and fell.

Shen Kuo's movements are very light and thin. So much so that the dozen or so small insects wrapped around Liu Tingyu's feet were roasted by the fire, and after they fell, the flames of the lighter did not even touch Liu Ting's skin once.

Next, Shen Kuo also used the same method to dispose of the bugs on his feet.

Liu Ting asked curiously: "Cousin, how do you know that you can solve these insects with fire?"

Shen Kuo put on Liu Ting's shoes with concern, and said with a wry smile: "I guessed too. When I see those little insects greedily on your feet and refuse to walk, I think of another kind of bug, which is leeches. Leeches are also nailed to human skin and suck human blood for a living. It's hard to force it down. Use only fire, or table salt. So, I tried it, and I didn't think it would work.'

'You mean these bugs suck blood?'

The bugs came from the red liquid, though I don't know if the red liquid was blood. But I guess it's going to be eight or nine or ten. Since these bugs live in the blood, they are most likely blood-suckers.'

Liu Ting nodded meaningfully, as if she agreed with Shen Kuo's statement.

At the same time, Shen Kuo observed that the red liquid that kept coming up was gradually approaching the edge of the bed. That is, it won't be long before they are going to be in trouble again.

Shen Kuo sighed softly, he looked around and saw that there was a door in the corner of the bed. Of course, the layout of the whole room was all too familiar to him. Because he and Liu Ting are in the same room, I don't know how many times the road has turned.

But he hesitated to open the door. Although the door was still some distance from the bed, he could still reach it with a little effort.

After thinking about it for a long time, instead of waiting for death, it is better to break through, maybe there is a way to live. He sighed again, walked over to the bed, leaned against the wall, and muttered, 'A dead horse is a live horse doctor!'

Then, he said to Liu Ting behind him: 'Grab my waist.' Liu Ting was very obedient and went over to help.

With the efforts of the two of them, Shen Kuo finally reached the door.

However, at the moment when Shen Kuo opened the door. A powerful suction force behind the door sucked both of them in. The two of them were sucked into the next room without the slightest mental preparation.
