252: Chapter 136: It Ca True!
Just above the wall of the parking lot, four hideous shadows incessantly paced back and forth, their solidity such that it seed they could leap off the wall at any mont.
The reason they were described as hideous was that Ren Huixi incredulously saw their appearances within so of the shadows.
Enormous mouths, eyeless faces, wrinkled skin, sharp claws…
Even though everything was still that blurry black and not very clear, just the fact that details could be seen on the shadows was already beyond reason.
Unless…
These things were not shadows at all!
Once Ren Huixi realized this, her legs imdiately began to tremble.
She started to back away subconsciously, bumping into a couple who had co forward to see what the commotion was, nearly falling over.
From the crowd ahead, exclamations of surprise could occasionally be heard, so clearly from people who had seen the two videos on “Quick Sound.”
However, because Ren Huixi hadn’t disclosed the location of the filming, everyone was unaware of where exactly the place was, and with just a plain white wall, the identification was a bit too low.
Finding this trending spot by accident, so people even took out their phones and snapped several photos, casually posting them to their social circles.
Among the crowd, although most people were very fearful of these eerie shadows at first, as ti went on and they discovered they weren’t real, their courage also grew.
So said it was the reflection from a movie projector at a distant theater, so thought it was a prank by soone hiding out, and others speculated that the wall actually concealed a hidden projection device; these strange figures, too, were thought to be part of a decorative video display.
Of course, there were also those who suggested that this might indeed be a Transcendent event, and those shadows might turn into real monsters the very next second.
But even the person who said this didn’t take it to heart; they discussed eerie horror with their companions, their feet showing no intention of leaving.
Perhaps in their hearts, they didn’t believe these things.
In front of the crowd, people laughed and chatted away, took photos, and a few bold youngsters even stepped up, touching the black shadows a couple of tis.
“Haha, I told you it’s nothing.
You all are too timid, this is just a projection,” said a young man in a floral shirt, patting the wall beside him.
His palm easily passed through the eerie black shadow, touching the cold wall.
“Co on, take a photo for .
I’ve checked in at this trending wall now.” The man in the floral shirt struck various poses he deed handso in front of these shadows, leaving many photos.
“Eh?
Sothing’s not right…
I feel sothing weird,” the person taking photos suddenly lowered his phone, his expression sowhat odd as he looked behind the man in the floral shirt.
“What’s up?”
The person scratched his head, saying, “Strange, I feel as if the shadows behind you have changed, like…
they’re all looking at you.”
Hearing this, the man in the floral shirt turned to glance at the wall, noticing all four figures had ceased moving, their heads uniformly turned in his direction as if watching him.
He felt a sudden pang in his heart, then subconsciously shifted to the side.
Seeing the figures maintaining their original form without following his movent, he finally let out a sigh of relief and said:
“Old Zhang, stop being so superstitious, you scared there for a mont; this is probably just a coincidence.
Look at these creatures, they only have a mouth and two large ear holes, no eyes at all.
How could they ‘see’ ?”
As he spoke, in order to recover from the hint of cowardice he had just shown, he stretched out his hand without looking back toward where the monster’s head should be.
Um… after all, it seed like there were still quite a few young girls watching him.
However, just as the man in the floral shirt reached out, a swift, slender, and subtle fluctuation flickered in the space, as if even light couldn’t catch up with its speed.
This eerie fluctuation was like the “height” in two-dinsional space; everyone at the scene couldn’t even begin to perceive it.
The next mont, the man in the floral shirt’s hand reached out and touched the top of the monster’s head.
Yes, this ti he truly felt the monster’s head…
Instead of the cold touch of the wall that he expected, the man’s hand seed to touch sothing soft, like wrinkled skin, chilly and devoid of any warmth.
Around him, the crowd suddenly fell silent, all eyes involuntarily widened, and faces froze, all staring in horror at the back of the man in the floral shirt.
The man sensed the abnormality in the atmosphere around him, and the corner of his eye seed to catch glimpses of sothing white.
In that mont, his mind was struck by a possibility that was utterly terrifying.
“No, no way…”
The man in the floral shirt instinctively turned his head around.
By his side, unbeknownst to when, four slender, grotesque monsters had appeared.
Their skin was a ghastly pale color, their long hind legs squatting on the ground; where a nose and eyes should have been on their faces there was nothing, only a huge mouth filled with sharp teeth below.
The man’s face turned ashen in an instant, a gurgling sound ca from his throat, he wanted to scream but couldn’t make a sound, and a strong terror enveloped his body, rendering him immobile.
A second later, a severe pain shot through his left hand, the sound of breaking bones erupted, and the man’s screams filled the entire parking lot.
The monster’s sharp claws slashed out, blood spraying red, and several people nearby were instantly splattered.
“Ahh!!!”
Screams erupted from the crowd, chaos ensued, and everyone ran desperately toward the exit of the parking lot.
A few people were pushed down and fell, getting left behind in the ensuing panic.
Ren Huixi had already retreated to the entrance of the parking lot.
She suddenly heard that scream, her body involuntarily shivering; an ominous premonition erged in her mind.
Imdiately after, the commotion of the crowd confird her guess, and the faint screams from behind seed to declare that things had developed in the direction she feared most.
Perhaps the oncoming crowd enabled her to act, and even though Ren Huixi was terrified, she still took steps, turning to run onto the street.
She didn’t dare look back the entire way, and the continuous screams behind her were like a deathly talisman, leaving her with only one thought in her mind—
Escape!
