Along the way, the entire team’s atmosphere was very secretive, and no one made a sound. The people were separated from each other by at least 30 to 40 centimeters, and everyone’s expressions were very restrained. They observed the surroundings and people with hidden wariness in their eyes.
On the contrary, Su Jingxia, who just killed someone, had a more lazy expression, which just looked weird and creepy.
To think about it, this group of people have known each other for no more than a day, not to mention, they have their own thoughts and are not good people.
Xiao Chen was like a silly white boy, following behind them with a dumbfounded expression.
The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that the man just put his hands on him for no more than two minutes, and then there were all kinds of kissing, hugging, and rubbing. It was almost like he was stuck to Xiao Chen’s body.
So Xiao Chen did not have the heart to pay attention to why the surrounding atmosphere was so weird, and he did not even care to read the comments on that screen.
Xu Caitong has been walking in the forefront from the beginning, and when he stopped, everyone else halted.
Xiao Chen paused and looked up.
In front of them is a wooden door, the height of which can not be seen. Just as they can not see the ceiling and do not know how high it is, the carved wooden door’s height is also unknown and even gives a feeling of darkness.
The door does not look old, but clean like a new door. The pattern on the door is very complicated like an artwork carved out by a knife. Not to mention the color used to paint, which gave people an indescribable sense of contradiction, like there is something dangerous inside.
Seeing this, He Yili directly took one of the only two lamps in the team and slowly approached this door. He carefully examined the pattern on the door and sniffed the smell of the wooden door.
He frowned as he thought of something.
He stood up straight, looked around, then opened his lips and said, “Are you cold?”
No one answered the question. To be precise, nobody understood how he came up with this sentence out of nowhere that did not fit the context, so nobody paid any attention to him. He Yili was not discouraged and could even say that he did not care at all, so he continued to talk freely. “Logically speaking, it is summer, and the temperature should be very high, but the temperature in this huge space has been very low, especially the more we go inside here, the colder it gets. Have you not noticed that the humidity here is very heavy? Even the back of this door is emitting the smell of humidity.”
“But,” his eyes flickered, and his expression was cautious, “in a place where the moisture is so heavy, this wooden door surprisingly has no trace of decay at all…don’t you think it’s strange.”
[ Passerby656476: A group of idiots, why are they starting to study a door.
Passerby698534: Hurry up and go in, go in, and the show will begin.
Passerby987698: That kind of thing living inside, of course, the humidity is high, haha.
Passerby897564: Finally made it here. I’ve been waiting for half a day, hurry up. ]
Xiao Chen looked at the comments and immediately became wary.
There was something dangerous inside.
Xiao Chen’s gaze subconsciously landed on Xu Caitong, who had been walking in the front to lead the way, but at some point had retreated to the end of the line.

Xiao Chen looked over almost simultaneously, and Xu Caitong’s gaze met Xiao Chen’s probing look. The unconcealed suspicion in Xiao Chen’s eyes first startled him. Still, in the next second, he immediately pulled out a seemingly friendly smile, narrowed his eyes, and withdrew his look. He then made his suggestion seemingly unintentionally, “Why don’t we have someone explore the area first?”

Xiao Chen’s heart stopped abruptly for a moment. Even if he stood there, it gave him a feeling of sitting on pins and needles.
They were forcing him to make a decision!
You have to enter even if you don’t want to!
As if something was stuck in his throat, Xiao Chen did not say a word of rebuttal or refusal for a while. Xiao Chen closed his eyes, cold sweat flowed down from his forehead, and his breathing became a bit rapid. As if he had made up his mind, he moved his lips, but before he could speak, he felt a hand fall on top of his head and then gently touch his hair as if to comfort him. It was this action that swallowed back the words that had run to his mouth.
The man blew the tip of his ear and said in a soft voice, “Don’t be afraid, go in.”
The man’s gaze passed through Xiao Chen and landed on Xu Caitong’s body. Xu Caitong was staring at Xiao Chen with malice in his eyes. The man sneered, and his gaze was heavy.
Xu Caitong inexplicably felt suffocated, like a prey being targeted by a hunter, and was a little alarmed for no reason.
Xiao Chen exhaled when he heard the man’s words, and his whole body relaxed.
He trusted the man. Since the man said so, then there is certainly no problem.
The next second, almost without hesitation, Xiao Chen glanced at Xu Caitong. Xu Caitong remained standing at the same place and showed him a smile. Xiao Chen walked directly to the front of the team. He Yili saw this and instantly retreated to the side.
This door appeared to be heavy. Xiao Chen stretched out one index finger tentatively and poked it gently. Before he could exert enough force, this door seemed to be pushed open in a second as if it had been shoved by something powerful.
“………”
“………”
It was dark inside, darker than outside.
It was the kind of darkness where you can’t even see your fingers.
Xiao Chen swallowed, took a deep breath, and walked in.
He just took two steps inside when the door seemed to be pushed by someone, emitting a loud “pong” sound as the door slammed shut.
Xiao Chen’s body shuddered, and his heart sank.
Sh*t, it’s so dark.
“Yu Mo.” Xiao Chen’s voice was a little shaky. He couldn’t see his surroundings, and even more so, he didn’t know what was inside. It was a near-blind experience, and Xiao Chen was so afraid that he spoke to the air.
One second, two seconds, three seconds………
No one responded to him.
Xiao Chen now panicked. In just a few seconds, countless thoughts flashed through his mind like a tumble of clouds, and his body froze in place without making a sound. He did not continue to shout Yu Mo’s name.
He, was he abandoned?
Xiao Chen’s lips were a little pale.
The man is standing behind Xiao Chen. His eyesight is different from ordinary people’s, so he can see everything around him. From his perspective, Xiao Chen looks like a small hamster hiding in a corner, shivering and obviously scared, but he doesn’t know what to do.
The man who had hoped that Xiao Chen would call out his name a few more times suddenly found that Xiao Chen did not speak anymore. The man immediately had a bad feeling and took a big step forward to Xiao Chen.
When he saw the expression of Xiao Chen, he could not help but freeze.
He originally thought Xiao Chen would have been scared and cry, but surprisingly, Xiao Chen was like a lost soul standing in place and not talking. If not for his shoulders still trembling slightly and his teeth biting his lips, he would have thought that Xiao Chen was not afraid at all. But it was this expression that made the man feel even more distressed for no apparent reason.
“I’m here.”
Hearing that, Xiao Chen’s teeth released his lips in the next second, and his shoulders even stopped shaking.
Yu Mo immediately took Xiao Chen in his arms and said in a tone like coaxing a child, “I was wrong, I was wrong, I will never tease you like this again.”
Xiao Chen seemed to finally have a sense of reality. His eyes were stinging, and tears came out as expected. He choked twice, let out a crying hiccup, and then said in a grievous tone, “I thought you didn’t want me anymore.”
Yu Mo looked at this wrinkled little face and heard Xiao Chen’s remarks that were close to a confession of his heart. He was distressed and also delighted and said, “Even if the world doesn’t want you, I couldn’t possibly not want you.”
It was torturous waiting for Xiao Chen to cry enough. Xiao Chen rubbed his face against Yu Mo’s shoulder and said pitifully, “What do I do next?”
The man released him and said in a soft voice, “Take my hand, I’ll hold you.”
Xiao Chen obediently grabbed the man’s hand. The man smiled and held Xiao Chen tighter.
It was held with great care, and it was like………
It’s like what? It’s like he’s holding the world in his hands, his most beloved treasure.
Yu Mo has a sense of indescribable satisfaction.
The surroundings were too dark, so Xiao Chen could not see anything and did not know what was around him, but the man could see it clearly.
Two giant pythons were spitting out their tongues. They were as thick as two Xiao Chens, with a length of five to six meters, and their scales were incomparably sharp. The two snakes were intertwined with each other and kept squirming their limbs. Their mouths were wide open, and their saliva flowed down along with its sharp teeth. There were still many snake skins in the whole space, which were from the shedding period.
Of course, in addition to the pythons, there are other things in the room.
For instance,
Like quite a lot of human corpses, skulls, ribs………
The floor was a scarlet red. In addition to blood, there were already decayed organs. The picture is disgusting and also very frightening and horrifying. All of them are people who have been eaten dead by the pythons.
The man’s expression was indifferent, without the slightest fluctuation. He was not affected at all, as if he had already gotten used to it.
In fact, the whole space was small. The two people were only a meter away from the pythons. The two pythons were spitting their tongues and drooling, but they never dared to come forward. They could only wriggle their bodies on the ground and looked like they were starving.
Because Xiao Chen could not see, his other senses were amplified, and the rustling sound in the space scared him to get closer to Yu Mo.
The index finger of the man’s other hand pressed against his lips, and his eyes flashed with a warning. His lips moved, but no sound came out.
Shut up, don’t scare my baby.
The pythons actually stopped their movements, and the sound ceased at the same time.
Xiao Chen eased his breathing and walked carefully with each step, afraid of losing himself in Yu Mo’s side.
Xiao Chen did not know that the live broadcast turned utterly black the moment he entered the room.
[ Passerby 876576: Shit, what the f*ck, the main event, ah, d*mn your black screen!
Passerby 89768: I’m speechless. I still want to see how the two babies ate the man, f*ck!
Passerby 876566: What the hell, I just entered the live room.
Passerby 987687: Maybe the picture is too gory to broadcast.
Passerby987659: Why can’t it be broadcasted? It’s not like it hasn’t happened before. Speechless. ]
Yu Mo looked back at the door, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
The pythons appeared to have heard some command and stretched its head high. They emitted a creepy light in their eyes, like the exhilaration before a killing spree.
The man sneered.
Since that group of people were so disobedient, they should be punished.
After all.
The man narrowed his eyes.
The one they wanted to hurt was his baby.
and worse, not even being able to see the pythons but knowing something is there!
*shudders**
They are mean though, why did they choose the young guy to go in first? Why not send in that cold blooded murderer?
thanks for the chapter <3
Maybe because Xu Caitong saw the suspicion in his eyes and knew to get rid of him, and no one would care so they wouldn’t go against that decision 🤔
Plus, Su Jingxia displayed his ability to kill someone without any remorse. He’d probably do it again and kill Xu Caitong if the guy even utters for him to volunteer to go in
Thanks for the chapter! 😘
Poor Xiao Chen QAQ he has to suffer like this
Thank you for the chapter!!! ❤️❤️
Hey! As a snake fan, I am offended on behalf of the pythons. They’re obviously cute! With that owo face and slender, elegant bodies!
but these ones want to eat you. hehe i dont mind snakes but it sounds creepy with the darkness + all the blood and corpses
They do wanna eat the MC but if you think about the root of all of this mess, the person who put them in a room like that and starved them is the real villain of the story. They’re just animals acting on instincts… They’re really sweet if you know them! And fed them well, of course. 🥰
Comrade! you feel the same as me! i love their cold beauty.
Right?! Although others might think they’re scary, that’s only because they’ve been villanized.
I love the way they feel too, those smooth and cold scales. I have been to an exhibition in a library where they showed lizards and snakes. I had a lil one wrapped around my fingers, so cute!
Yessss!!! Little babeh sneeeks. Those lil danger noodles just butting their head on your hand is so darn cute!
+1 Offended on the snakes behalf here too!
Snakes are really cool and I agree that they’re too often villainized TwT
Yes! Comrade <3
To add to this snake fan thread, the biggest type of python that has been known to, on occasion, eat people is the reticulated python, right? As a constrictor, the killing method would be relatively bloodless as constrictors squeeze their prey to death. And then, as snakes do, they would swallow their prey whole. Also taking into consideration that snakes can digest both flesh and bones…. So where are all the skulls and bloody corpses coming from??????? Just the room decor lol??
IK right??? Lmao, the author’s attempts to be ‘scary’ and ‘gory’ is not really well done… Literally other animals can work. Like, why not pick a giant pig??? They eat messily and are omnivores. There’s been stories of owners accidentally falling into trowels and getting eaten by pigs.
Yep I agree. The danger noodles are cute, people need to stop making them bad guy in fiction (novel, movie etc) 🙁
wow… thank you for translating but maybe reading this at 1 am in a dark room with a deadly fear of snakes wan’t the best idea (TwT)
XCT…You are dead….🔪
Thanks for the chapter~
The less realistic something seems to me, the less scared or awed or whatever I am. After all, it has nothing to do with me. Additionally… I think spiders would be worse, like, just a mass of these thin legged spiders and the black fat ones….
noo that’s a cursed image straight from my nightmares 😭
Yup, Giant Spiders would be better than those cute starving pythons
Thanks for the chapter ❤
