Why is my journey to the world of anime a strange tale of rules?

But the next moment, as the blood-red light emitted by the phone suddenly burst forth, as if real blood was gushing out of the phone and enveloping Xiaohua, a sharp scream rang out from behind. Xiaohua was also thrown to the ground by a powerful shockwave, and the phone almost flew out of his hand.

[Where are you, guest...? Please come out, guest... I've made a meal... I've made a delicious meal... a delicious meal...]

Dizzy, Xiao Hua lay on the ground for several seconds, unable to stand up. He could only hear wails behind him and something hitting the wall repeatedly with dull thuds.

"Oh...ah..."

The girl, struggling in pain, finally sat up from the ground in the 10th second. She sat up amidst the pain that felt like her whole body was about to fall apart, and then she noticed a small pink pillow lying on the corridor beside her.

I definitely didn't see this thing when I walked through the corridor a few minutes ago.

In other words, was the feeling of being hit on the back by something very soft that I felt earlier caused by this thing?

Xiao Hua suddenly understood.

The power of the red light concealed her presence, making her voice and movements undetectable. However, just as she could be heard when she entered the mansion and closed the door, the indirect things she caused were perceptible to these monsters.

So when she tried to get out of bed and instinctively pressed her hand against the mattress, the thing could immediately see the dent in the mattress.

So when the other person throws a pillow and it hits them, they can see that the pillow has indeed hit something transparent, thus confirming their position.

"Wh...what are these things...?"

【Sizzling...】

Looking down at the screen on her phone, Xiaohua noticed something new.

[Notification to survivors...]

Don't underestimate the existence of monsters... They will look for you... They will try to find you...

Protection...has its limits...protection...is not a panacea...be extremely careful...

You've been discovered... You've been discovered... They're looking for you... They're searching for you...

Don't be fooled... Don't be deceived... Believe that you are... smarter than them...

In other words, they are not mindless creatures that just shout and yell, but rather things that can think and have a certain level of cognitive ability?

"Huh...huh..."

The girl slowly got up.

Looking up, Xiaohua could see a long neck stretching from near the ceiling all the way down the corridor to the stairs.

Turning back, the monster was still howling and slamming against the wall, leaving blood everywhere. Xiaohua could see something struggling to crawl out of its mouth. She didn't know if it was a baby, a child, or something that looked like a human but wasn't. She could only see pale arms struggling inside its mouth.

He stumbled to his feet.

In the noticeably dimmer red light, Xiaohua ran to the stairwell and quickly went downstairs. Then, after a moment's hesitation, she gritted her teeth and headed towards the direction the long neck of the staircase stretched out, heading deeper into the first-floor corridor.

Simply avoiding it won't help.

She had already been exposed to those monsters, and even if they couldn't find her for the time being, they would definitely keep trying to capture her. The protection of the red light was ultimately limited; she couldn't rely on it to fight them off.

【Ugh... Ugh...】

The further they went, the more bloodstains appeared on the floor, walls, and ceiling of the corridor.

It's as if many, many people have been torn to pieces here, which is why blood is everywhere, yet she can't find a single corpse, or even a fragment of flesh.

However, a certain sound could be heard coming from ahead.

A faint, indistinct sound, like something being swallowed, echoed from the darkness ahead.

Walk past the corner of the corridor.

You can see that the sliding door to the living room has fallen to the ground, the living room is a mess, the television is smashed, and various bottles and jars are also lying on the ground.

[Mmm... Mmm... Oh...]

Xiao Hua saw the source of the sound and also saw the body of the long-necked monster.

It was a lump of flesh that took up almost half the room; it was human skin stretched to the point of being almost translucent, with dark purple blood vessels and wriggling fat beneath the skin.

The thing grew long, thin arms, at least two or three meters long, like bamboo poles, with multiple joints like a centipede. One hand grabbed a man's mouth, forcing it open, while the other hand tore open its own fat, deformed body, pulling out chunks of yellow, bloody fat and forcefully stuffing them into the man's mouth.

【Mmm...mmm...oh...】

The man sitting in the chair could not resist and could only swallow the yellow grease with difficulty.

He couldn't run away because his body was fused with the chair he was sitting on. Yes, Xiao Hua could only describe it as "fused together." Because the other person's clothes, flesh, and the chair itself were truly connected. Xiao Hua could even see the slight trembling at the point where the other person's fingers, resting on the armrest, connected to the armrest itself, as if the skin of the fingers had spread out and grown deeply rooted within it.

Gudong——Gudong——

The thick, greasy substance was forcefully forced down the throat.

Her belly, even more exaggerated than a ten-month pregnancy, continued to expand, little by little, stretching until the blood vessels inside were stretched to their limit.

[Ugh... Ugh! Ugh ugh oh ugh!!!]

The man struggled, howling in despair, but the sound was choked up by the grease in his throat, leaving only the sound of him swallowing.

Such a bizarre scene made Xiao Hua involuntarily take a step back.

The man being fed oil seemed to sense something and suddenly began to struggle. His bulging eyes turned towards Xiaohua, as if he were asking her for help.

Bang! ! !

The next second came a violent explosion, and dark yellow grease and blood-red entrails flew everywhere, falling like rain.

Only a mangled corpse remained on the stool.

The withered arm had already grasped a new stool and slowly pushed it in front of Xiaohua.

Come on, guests... come and eat... come and eat my cooking...

It was as if I could hear a gentle voice saying this in my ear.

No, not like.

The head was already behind her, whispering in her ear.

"Woo..."

It feels like I could actually see that scene.

Seeing his hardworking wife practicing singing alone after finishing her housework, he fantasized about becoming a pop star.

Seeing his disobedient child accidentally injure himself, and then, after being reprimanded by his wife, failing to learn from the mistake and causing another accident, left his wife both angry and helpless.

Seeing her husband bring friends home for dinner, the wife diligently prepared a meal. However, she later heard her husband's friends comment that the food was too oily and didn't taste good. Her husband even apologized to his friends, which made her extremely angry.

Let us save you.

Let us offer you true salvation.

From now on, you will truly have a beautiful voice, your children will never disobey you again, and no one will criticize your cooking. Come, come, we will give you true happiness. Yes, this is what you've always dreamed of; we will fulfill your true wishes.

It's as if someone is saying something like that.

Someone's body loomed over them, reaching out their hand.

boom! ! !

The crimson light erupted once more.

The girl, who had been thrown to the ground, struggled to her feet. When she looked up, she saw that the living room was completely empty. Instead, the woman's head, which looked even more deformed and twisted as if it had been burned, was howling behind her, seemingly in great pain.

What happened to me just now?

Xiao Hua tried hard to get up from the ground, but found that he could no longer use his hands and feet. So he had to crawl on the ground, using his arms to support his body and move away from the twisted human-headed monster little by little.

Was what I just saw some kind of hallucination?

The girl looked at the living room beside her, a clean and tidy living room with no corpses or monsters, a perfectly normal living room.

“Haaa…haha…”

My physical condition is clearly declining.

Although the blood-red light could protect him from the terrible monster, the impact still seemed to have some effect, leading to a gradual depletion of his mental and physical strength.

what should I do?

Xiao Hua looked behind her, towards the end of the corridor, and found that there was only a wall behind her, with no other way to go.

The screams from the woman's head were weakening; it was recovering, it was almost back to normal. If it recovered, where could he possibly escape to now?

"Huh...huh..."

With a struggle to muster the little strength left, Xiao Hua stood up again, then slipped and fell to the ground once more.

How could this happen? Why can't I stand up?

It's like your body is completely exhausted, and even a surface that was fine before becomes slippery and impossible to use for leverage.

Slippery?

[Guest...guest...]

The burns on the woman's head gradually healed, and her eyes began to move, searching again for the unseen person.

Xiao Hua had already gotten up again and suddenly accelerated towards the living room.

Bang!

Then he slipped and fell to the ground again.

Are you here, guest?

The woman suddenly lowered her head and moved closer to where Xiao Hua had fallen.

"hiss!"

But the girl had already gotten up again amidst her cries of pain. Before she could stand up, she rolled forward and sideways towards a corner of the living room, slamming the faintly red glowing phone screen down onto an empty space.

puff--

The soft touch was then transferred to Xiaohua's hands.

The faint crimson light emanating from the phone screen suddenly burst into a blinding crimson hue, like a ferocious beast that had finally found its prey and bared its fangs.
