Chapter 174 - The Monsters Weakness (2/2)

It was just a normal head, but like a person standing up, a thin monster that was about 2.5 meters long extended out from the twisted face’s back. The monster’s lower body was connected to the twisted face’s back, and the monster touched the ceiling easily. It then curved forward, like a human-headed cobra heading toward Chen Ge.

“What is this?” Even though he was prepared, when Chen Ge saw the monster, he was still quite shocked. The monster was thin and long, wearing a large white cloth that was sewn together. Through the open patches, Chen Ge could see several human faces that were silent and drawn.

At the beginning, the monster was probably not that tall, but after jumping onto people’s shoulders and consuming them, it finally grew to this height. Chen Ge realized something. Wang Shenglong had once used a painting to describe his relationship with a monster. In the painting, he had been at the bottom, and the monster was stepping on his shoulders.

The twisted face and the monster before Chen Ge shared a different relationship. The monster came directly out of the man’s back.

Is the twisted face the monster itself, or have they achieved some kind of mutually-beneficial relationship?

There was no time to think because even though the twisted face stopped at two meters away from Chen Ge, the long monster on his back had already reached the top of Chen Ge’s skull. The monster’s face was extremely common—it was the kind that would be forgotten easily, but who would have thought that such a common face hid a gruesome monster?

“Let’s play a game. If you win, I’ll let you go, but if you lose, you’ll give me your body.” The monster and the twisted face’s lips moved at the same time, and the voice appeared in Chen Ge’s mind. “The game’s name is called ‘Who Speaks First’.”

This was a game that the player was destined to lose because there was no time limit; Wang Shenglong was the perfect example. After agreeing to the game, the monster would climb onto the player’s back and start the torment.

If the player lost their conviction and spoke, the monster would win, but even if they did not, the monster would continue to squat on their shoulders, and the game would never end. The human faces that Chen Ge saw through the patches were probably the monster’s victims.

“If you want to play a game, sure, but you’ll need to edit the rules,” Chen Ge said in a calm tone. Doctor Gao was rushing to the hospital, so he was buying time for himself.

The monster stopped above Chen Ge’s head. It was about half a meter away, and it took in a slight breath because it had not experienced this situation before. After a moment’s pause, it turned to look at the twisted face, as if asking for his opinion. Shouldn’t a normal person be screaming by now?

The smile froze on the twisted face. He assumed that Chen Ge was toying with them, so he pointed his finger at Chen Ge’s head. The monster understood his meaning; it leaned downward, and a pair of shriveled hands reached out for Chen Ge’s face, its body still extending.

Chen Ge saw the monster approaching, but he did not lose his cool; if anything, his mind was working clearer than before.

This is the monster’s weakness! When he tried to attack me, it only moved its upper body, and its lower body was still stuck to the twisted face. This means that it probably cannot move its lower body easily.

No wonder it wants to play this game with people. If it could just jump on people’s shoulders to take over their body, it wouldn’t need to draw people in with the pretext of playing a game.

Chen Ge took a step back, but his eyes were glowing. When it moves from one body to the next, that is probably when it is the weakest.
