Chapter 37.2 (1/2)
“It’s no use! Its hair is too strong!” Tang Mianmian shouted at Xiao Tangqiu, “Run!”
Xiao Tangqiu didn’t expect Tang Mianmian to say something along the lines of “Just leave me, you go first.” He couldn’t help feeling moved, “I won’t leave you to die! Worse comes to worst, we’ll die together!”
Tang Mianmian cried out, “……I’m not asking you to leave me to die! You better get out of here and think of a good way to save me or find reinforcements, and then come back to get me!”
Xiao Tangqiu sobbed in despair, “How am I supposed find reinforcements in this God forsaken place?”
Tang Mianmian cried, “Then you should at least look for a knife or lighter!”
Xiao Tangqiu yelled, “……Do you think I don’t want to?! The corridor is blocked, how am I supposed to run?!”
Amidst the dispute between the two men, the puppet suddenly attacked Xiao Tangqiu. Countless strands of long hair shot out towards him like spider silk. He forgot everything else and turned on his flashlight at once. The light shone directly at the puppet’s face. Usually, creatures of the dark were afraid of light! Tremble in fear, you monster!
The puppet that was sprawled on the ceiling froze, but in the next second, it became furious and shot out more strands of hair at Xiao Tangqiu. Xiao Tangqiu was tied up and hung upside down in mid-air as well. The flashlight in his hand was also taken away!
Tang Mianmian cried out timidly, “Oh, no, you seemed to have angered it. The BOSS is mad…”
Xiao Tangqiu, who was still hanging upside down, gave a wry smile. “BOSS? This is only a small BOSS at best, the real big BOSS… Forget it, we probably won’t live to see the big BOSS.”
Tang Mianmian thought for a bit before adding, “Generally speaking, the owner of the old castle should be the big BOSS. Haven’t we already seen him?”
Xiao Tangqiu helplessly said, “Is this really a good time for us to be discussing these things?”
Tang Mianmian faintly answered, “But there’s nothing else we can do.”
Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian were both suspended in mid-air, tied up in the mass of black, swirling hair and only had their mouths free, so they could only talk and make sarcastic remarks in this life and death situation.
However, Xiao Tangqiu was soon deprived of that last bit of joy. The monster slowly crawled towards him. As Xiao Tangqiu grew more and more scared, it suddenly lowered its his head and played with the flashlight, just like a little child imitating the action of an adult. It clumsily followed Xiao Tangqiu’s previous actions, turning on the flashlight, then giving him a fierce look.
Xiao Tangqiu, who was blinded by the intense light, could only close his eyes and smile bitterly. Who would have thought that monsters had such methods of revenge?
But when the monster drew close, he noticed a mole on the inhuman-like skin of the monster’s neck. The monster’s hair was messy and thick, covering its whole body from top to bottom. If it weren’t because it was so close, the average person wouldn’t notice the mole at all. But even so, a normal person’s brain would have blanked out in fear instead of looking to see if it had a mole or not.
He had subconsciously looked at the monster’s neck just now, and was shocked because in the photo of Laura and Lippinobert, Laura also had a mole on her neck, but he didn’t pay much attention to it at that time. After all, it was normal for a person to have a mole on their body. It wasn’t until he discovered that the monster also had a mole on its neck that he realized the significance of that mole-
This monster was Madame Laura! It was Lippinobert’s mother!
Just then, the hair around his neck began to tighten. The monster seemed to be tired of playing with his flashlight and turned to play with Xiao Tangqiu.
Xiao Tangqiu tried his best to shout at Tang Mianmian, “Lippi…”
This monster is Lippinobert’s mother!
On hearing that name, the monster suddenly tightened his hair around his neck desperately, like earlier, when it was angered by the glare of the flashlight. Xiao Tangqiu was bound so tightly he couldn’t breathe. He blanked out, subconsciously muttering the words, “His mother…”
Tang Mianmian sobbed loudly, “Is this really the time to be swearing?!”
Xiao Tangqiu rolled his eyes, so angry he felt weak, “It’s his… his mother…”
Tang Mianmian echoed with tears streaming down his face, “Yes, yes, yes! Lippinobert, fuck your mother!”
Right when Xiao Tangqiu was about to be angered to death by Tang Mianmian, he suddenly felt a strong force coming from behind him. He slammed into the wall and then fell to the floor head first.
Fuck! He would definitely have a concussion!
When Xiao Tangqiu got up from the floor, head still buzzing, he was pleasantly surprised to find himself still alive! Not only was he alive, the hair that had been wrapped around his neck and body also disappeared!
