I’m Really Scared -
Chapter 215: The Rabbit
If it were just an ordinary scrap of paper, Guan Shan would not have given it a second glance. However, this piece of paper was "interactive" and displayed a hint.
[Paper]
[Content: The zoo has no elephants, elephants cannot swim; there are no rabbits, rabbits only have two eyes; there is no aquarium, there is no path there.]
[Description: A damaged piece of paper, seemingly stained with blood.]
"This is more than just blood..."
Guan Shan shook the paper, looking at the stains in the corner with a twitch of his lips.
Based on his rich experience, he judged that the bloodstain, though small and faint, contained at least blood, flesh, bone, hair, and nails.
This bloodstain didn't seem to be from a normal injury but more like a product of someone being put through a blender... and then smeared onto the paper!
Just this glimpse was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
Especially in this sunny, harmonious environment, the splash of bright red on the paper made it even more eerie."Damn, this zoo might be man-eating!"
Guan Shan cursed and put the paper away. The hints given by the simulator were always crucial, just like in the previous breakthrough mission, providing very important clues.
In a breakthrough mission, Guan Shan had no idea who his enemies were. Even though he knew they were likely Espers, he did not know their abilities, making the simulator's hints extremely important.
From the words on the paper, "elephants" and "rabbits" were key, and the "aquarium" facility was also crucial.
Since the zoo clearly had no elephants and rabbits, it meant that if they appeared before Guan Shan, they must be monsters! And "cannot swim" and "only have two eyes" were likely hints about their abilities.
However, for now, the information was still limited, and he couldn't determine what those abilities were.
Additionally, at the ticket booth, Guan Shan found half a ticket stuck inside.
The ticket was torn in half, with the remaining half being a map of the zoo, marked as free.
The map highlighted areas like "Lion Area," "Goat Area," "Elephant Area," "Rabbit Area," and the "Aquarium."
Guan Shan frowned, "There are no elephants and rabbits, yet there are designated areas for them? And the aquarium's location is marked. This zoo seems like a trap."
He thought for a moment, "So does that mean the elephant and rabbit areas are enemies?"
Guan Shan pondered, "No, it can't be that simple... The paper might not be an official hint from the simulator, but a diversion."
"In any case, let's start with the nearest place—the rabbit area."
To be cautious, Guan Shan summoned his Shadow Clone.
He had the Shadow Clone scout ahead, while he followed behind, checking suspicious spots. This way, he felt much safer.
As Guan Shan walked through the zoo, he didn't see a single person, but the overly peaceful atmosphere made him involuntarily appreciate the various facilities in the zoo.
However, the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong. After a while, he realized—having never been to a zoo before—that most of the buildings in this zoo were two-story small buildings, meaning the animals were exhibited indoors.
"Uh... is this layout reasonable?"
Guan Shan didn't know and didn't dare to ask.
However, because the simulator's environment was based on reality, he could use these details to judge the nature of the place.
This was a complete architectural complex, not a large office building, so it was likely a factory, and it being operational at this time indicated a 24-hour shift system.
Since monsters were mixed among the animals, it meant these animals could be normal people.
Guan Shan controlled the Shadow Clone to stop and look up. In front of him was the entrance to the rabbit area.
His real body hid behind the wall beside the area.
It's not cowardice, just being cautious!
The door was transparent glass, clearly showing a large area inside, with a few wooden partitions painted with children's drawings, looking very cozy.
However, under those wooden boards was a shallow layer of red, seemingly paint but actually matching the bloodstains on the paper.
The Shadow Clone's cautious footsteps paused, feeling uneasy: "This bloodstain is at least two centimeters thick and evenly spread. It's unlikely to be smeared on, so it must be... blood or something else that spread across the floor, soaking into the bottom of these boards."
Two centimeters thick, covering the entire floor with blood... how many people had to die for that...
The Shadow Clone took a deep breath and stepped into the rabbit area.
After just a few steps, he saw a rabbit lying on the grass separated by the wooden boards—or rather, the so-called "rabbit."
The "rabbit" was as tall as a person!
Its fur was messy, interwoven with writhing, tentacle-like parasites. Its limbs were covered with tumors, muscles bulging beneath, and its claws were black and sharp.
The most horrifying part was its head, which split open from the snout, revealing half a human face underneath, as if the human face was either being swallowed by the rabbit or fused with it.
Above the mouth were four eyes—two blood-red rabbit eyes and two human eyes!
Each pair of eyes grew independently, seemingly pasted onto the face, creating a strong sense of dissonance, enough to make one feel nauseous and fearful.
As the Shadow Clone approached, the "rabbit" was instantly alarmed.
It raised its head sharply, four eyes staring at the Shadow Clone, and opened its mouth, emitting a sharp laugh!
"Hahaha—!"
At the same time, information about the creature appeared before Guan Shan's eyes!
[[Rabbit] Man-beast (lv.20)]
[Health: 40000]
[Description: This zoo has no rabbits. If you see one, run immediately.]
As Guan Shan saw this information, the rabbit had already flashed in front of the Shadow Clone with incredible speed, its half-human, half-rabbit face grinning horribly.
"Damn it! I need to be able to run first!"
Guan Shan's heartbeat skyrocketed, his brow twitching, as he controlled the Shadow Clone to turn and flee.
"Whoosh..."
Outside the rabbit area, Guan Shan's real body hid by the door, wearing the Mask of Agony, slowly drawing the Demon Blade, raising it high.
