Tong Mu's back stiffened suddenly, and he slowly turned his head.

A woman with thinning hair stood behind her and smiled at her that was worse than crying.

Her eyes were almost entirely occupied by the whites of her eyes, densely covered with scarlet blood, she looked unkempt, the hair on the top of her head was yellow and sparse, almost exposing her scalp, and there was a faint smell of burnt paste lingering on her body, which looked pitiful and terrible.

Tong Mu's heart froze, and he instinctively felt a chill rise down his back.

Who is she?

Mo Mo suddenly smiled at the woman: "Mom! ”

Mom?

Tong Mu was stunned for a moment, paused and did not leave immediately, but he was still a little vigilant.

"Silently? It turned out to be you. ”

The woman smiled silently, but her eyes looked at Tong Mu, and her voice was hoarse as if she was scraping an iron sheet with sharp nails: "Why are you running around again, didn't you tell you that it's dangerous outside?" ”

"My sister brought me out."

Silently hugged Tong Mu, with a well-behaved smile on his face: "Sister is a good person." ”

The woman looked at Tong Mu thoughtfully, probably seeing through her nervousness, and smiled and said: "Little girl, don't be afraid, my name is Zhang Ju, and I can be regarded as a silent mother." ”

Tong Mu frowned unconsciously: "You say...... Sort of? ”

Zhang Ju sighed: "This child's mother has never come back, and this building is so dangerous, silently about the same age as my child, so I also take care of him as my own child, and after a long time, he treats me as a mother." ”

Tong Mu frowned, and quietly glanced at the woman's hand, which had no mark of reincarnation.

It's been a while since she's been in, and the dungeon creatures she's encountered are either lunatics like the man in the raincoat who can't be explained by common sense, or monsters like the giant lady who seem to be completely irrational.

Although it was normal to be silent, she didn't seem to realize that this building was dangerous, but she was afraid of the raincoat man, but Zhang Ju clearly told her that it was dangerous here.

Maybe this sober-minded NPC can tell her some keys to breaking the game?

Tong Mu decided to take a gamble: "Can you tell me about this building?" ”

Zhang Ju was silent for a moment: "If it's something I know, of course it's okay, but this is not the place to talk, why don't you go home with me silently?" ”

Tong Mu nodded and followed Zhang Ju into the corner of the corridor.

There was a sudden roar from upstairs, and the ground around them shuddered.

Tong Mu clearly saw that Zhang Ju's face became extremely hideous at that moment, and a pair of godless eyes turned blood-like red almost at that moment, staring fiercely at the ceiling above his head.

But in just an instant, she returned to normal, and smiled at Tong Mu: "Madam Ju is always noisy. ”

Tong Mu felt a little strange, her reaction just now was not like fear, but like ...... Disgust and avoidance.

She didn't show it, just smiled at Zhang Ju and didn't say anything.

Silently and obediently, she was carried to the door of Zhang Ju's house, Zhang Ju reached out and took out a bunch of keys in his pocket for a long time.

She trembled and tried to put the key into the keyhole, but her hand trembled slightly, as if she couldn't see the location of the keyhole clearly, and she didn't insert it after a long time.

Tong Mu unconsciously looked at her hand, and her back suddenly felt cold.

There was a crusted pus wound on the outside of her tail finger, wriggling as if something was about to emerge from it.

She had seen such a wound before, and she had seen the news before that a girl was born with six fingers, which was considered by the family to be ominous and cut off alive...... It's the same position and shape as Zhang Ju's injury!

Judging by the freshness of this wound, was her sixth finger only recently cut off?

Zhang Ju's expression became more and more anxious, and he tried to insert the key again and again and again nervously chattering: "It's going to grow again, damn it...... It's going to grow again! ”

The door finally opened, Zhang Ju put away the key, and her expression returned to her previous calm: "Please come in, whatever, my husband and children are not here, and I am the only one at home." ”

Tong Mu hesitated, but walked in.

The layout of Zhang Ju's house is similar to that of Momo's house, with a master bedroom and a second bedroom, and the living room is narrow.

It's just that Momo's home is quite warm and there are traces of life, but Zhang Ju's house is scattered with beer bottles and garbage, there are still paper shells in the corners, the walls are mottled and dusty, and the furniture is also very old.

"I haven't cleaned my house for a long time, so I make you smile."

Zhang Ju smiled at her and silently, opened the refrigerator that had lost paint, took out two apples and handed them to them: "You guys can rest first, I'll go to the kitchen to clean up." ”

Tong Mu took the red and plump apple and smiled politely: "Thank you." ”

It just so happened that her throat was somehow a little dry.

Just as she was about to nibble on the apple, there was a muffled noise in the bedroom.

Tong Mu subconsciously looked at Zhang Ju, her face did not change, as if she didn't hear any movement at all, and went into the kitchen by herself.

Only she and Mo Mo were left in the living room.

Tong Mu listened to the figure of a kitchen knife chopping on the cutting board from the kitchen, and hesitated for a while to speak: "I'll go to the kitchen to see if your mother needs help, you are waiting for my sister here." ”

Nodding silently and obediently, Tong Mu walked lightly to the door of the kitchen, and saw Zhang Ju chopping something with a kitchen knife.

"Don't grow it up! Don't grow it out! I'm going to cut you out! Cut them all out! ”

Although she couldn't see her expression clearly, Tong Mu could hear her voice of resentment and hatred.

What is she chopping?

Tong Mu tightened his lips, quietly got closer, saw what it was, and his face turned white in an instant.

Zhang Ju put his hand on the cutting board and viciously slashed at his hand with a kitchen knife.

The tail finger of the previous wound grew a misshapen tail finger before she cut it off, and the flesh began to squirm in an attempt to grow a new one......

"Don't go long! Don't go long!! ”

Zhang Ju lowered her voice very low, but she could hear the madness in it, and the blood on her fingers splashed on her face, looking extremely terrifying.

She slashed her sixth finger mechanically and frantically, with the same look of disgust and avoidance she had heard the Giant Lady scream before.

Tong Mu unconsciously clenched the apple and slowly retreated, but accidentally stepped on a tumbling severed finger under his feet.

The click of broken bones sounded, Zhang Ju suddenly raised his head, and his scarlet eyes looked at Tong Mu coldly.

Tong Mu squeezed out a casual smile: "I'll see if there's anything I can do to help." ”

Zhang Ju looked at her and replied with a seemingly kind but weird smile: "Where can I let the guests do it?" ”

She washed her hands and walked out of the kitchen, looking at the apples in Tong Mu's hands: "Don't you like to eat apples?" ”

Tong Mu was stunned, clutched the apple tightly and said, "It's okay, it's just that I'm not hungry now." ”

Zhang Ju's expression became weird: "How can you not be hungry...... As long as it's human, you're going to be hungry. ”

She slowly approached Tong Mu: "Take a bite, I like apples the most." ”

No matter how dull Tong Mu is, he can feel that something is wrong.

She secretly called up the system panel and chose to wear the title of [Rookie King].

Fortunately, the system didn't trap this.

As the field of vision was covered, the world in Tong Mu's eyes once again fell into gloom and decay.

Tong Mu felt his gaze pass through the entire dungeon floor.

The giant lady upstairs was standing in the same position as Zhang Ju at the moment.

Zhang Ju's body in front of him exuded a crimson and almost black light.

Behind him was a light red patch in the bedroom door.

Tong Mu only felt that Rumang was on his back, but silently ran over at this time, and accidentally bumped into her.

The pitch-black apple rolled to the ground and turned into a corrupt heart.

Dense maggots wriggled out of the battered heart, twisting and crawling on the dusty floor.
