Chapter 6: The Crimson Monster

Zhao Zhi clenched his fist, his lips twisting slightly, as if he had made a firm decision

He swore that in the past twenty years, he had never seen such a red color

But it did not take long before it began to wriggle again, and the speed of its wriggling seemed to have increased compared to before

When Zhao Zhi thought of this, his tense nerves relaxed considerably, yet the fear deep within his heart still lingered.

You old turtle! If you have the guts, don't just crouch outside the door and spy on me. Come in, and I guarantee I will beat you to a pulp!

The door seemed to have been struck by some heavy object

Rather than being tormented by humans and becoming a puppet that is neither human nor ghost, it is better to take a chance; perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope.

It is unclear how much time has passed, but in a daze, Zhao Zhi seemed to see a red ghostly face swaying before his eyes

In summary, it is a living being, and it is definitely not a living being of human origin

Bang!

That thing retracted to a distance of less than 5 centimeters from Zhao Zhi's nose and mouth, as if the sudden lunge just now had cost it a great deal of strength

His mouth was tightly shut, and his eyes instinctively closed before opening again. His palms struggled desperately against the * picture * book, and the intense twisting of his elbow joint caused a cramp, with a sudden wave of pain making Zhao Zhi cry out once more

Zhao Zhi's lips were still trembling, he did not dare to speak to himself, and could only quietly say it in his heart

At least he still has a bed to sleep in, a pillow to rest his head on, and even a place to hide away.

Zhao Zhi's body was trembling, and the collision between the bed's foot and the floor produced a clattering sound

Zhao Zhi let out several long sighs, and in those few moments of fear just now, his back was completely soaked.

After a considerable amount of time, Zhao Zhi finally mustered the courage

Hello

What on earth is this thing

He clenched his teeth tightly, remaining completely still as he stared at the red mass. His intuition told him that this thing outside the door was something he, an ordinary person, had never seen before and did not wish to see.

The red beneath the crack of the door continued to writhe slowly, seemingly oblivious to Zhao Zhi's words

A peculiar word emerged from Zhao Zhi's throat, and the combination of his hoarse voice and panicked tone startled even him when the word escaped his throat, causing him to jump in surprise.

He is currently in a psychiatric hospital, where everyone treats him as a mental patient, beating him indiscriminately and binding him at will. It is possible that they are secretly drugging him as well. Once he walks out of this room, which resembles a solitary confinement cell, he may encounter even more outrageous torment.

The faint sound nearly caused Zhao Zhi to jump out of bed; at that moment, he should be grateful for the bandages on his body, otherwise his head would surely have hit the ceiling

A muffled sound echoed with a bang

Hey! What is that thing outside the door! I want to get to know you!

With a sharp sound, a drop of red fell onto Zhao Zhi's left cheek, sticky and warm

What is most terrifying is that the red color is tightly wrapped within a thin layer of flesh.

The red flesh gently rubs against the edges of the door seam, producing a faint hissing sound

A slender object tugged at the bedsheet, instantly turning it red

Zhao Zhi is strenuously suppressing his desire to take deep breaths, his face has turned crimson from the effort, and his neck is beginning to turn purple

Flesh is squeezed in the crack of the door, and a reddish-purple liquid flows slowly within the flesh, gently swelling and swaying like a book.

As soon as Zhao Zhi's voice fell, the writhing mass of red suddenly came to a halt

A tremendous fear engulfed Zhao Zhi's entire being; the harsh words he had just uttered had long since turned into a pile of nonsense. At this moment, he could only wish that he had never spoken that word 'hey'.

Zhao Zhi's heart had already leaped to his throat, and his eyes blinked suddenly. He thought it was just his imagination, but when he stared at the crack of the door again, that mass of crimson was still there, and it was slowly writhing

A gust of wind blew in from an unknown direction

Upon seeing it, one will surely regret it; however, it is possible that there will be no time for regret before death arrives. As for the manner of death, it could be due to being consumed, or more likely, it could be from being frightened to death

The light beneath the door also went out

The long red object slowly retracted, bit by bit, sliding down from the edge of the bed, brushing against the floor, twisting around in the gap of the door, and disappearing from Zhao Zhi's line of sight

Zhao Zhi suddenly opened his eyes wide, instinctively trying to sit up straight. However, in an instant, the bandages and adhesive tape pressed into his flesh, causing his initial terrified scream to transform into a cry of pain before it could even escape his throat

In front of the bed stands a short creature with a face full of blood-red spots, interspersed with black stains. It is draped in a large red robe that spreads out on the ground, obscuring the view of its legs and feet.

Zhao Zhi's mouth opened, just as he was about to speak again

Zhao Zhi lay on the bed, his eyes wide open, intently staring at the red mass that squeezed in through the gap at the bottom of the door

That is definitely not red in the ordinary sense; it is a tragic red, a red tinged with black, with a disturbing purple emerging from the black

Such as a heart that is not just like a human heart, but one that is thirty times larger than a human heart, or a kidney, or some other organ

The muffled sound gradually faded away

Suddenly

Zhao Zhi furrowed his brows, and his stubborn temperament flared up, as he raised his voice and began to scold.

Zhao Zhi looked at the red object and let out a startled scream

Immediately after, it was flung into the air, then suddenly retracted sharply, as if it had reached its maximum length, stopping less than ten centimeters from Zhao Zhi's face, suspended in the air, gently trembling

The object suspended in the air suddenly swooped down with a whoosh

After the sound of the impact disappeared, the red that had been pressed into the crack of the door also vanished.

After not spending a moment with the book, a long and slender red object slowly extended through the crack of the door

It resembles a slender finger without skin, covered by a thin membrane, and also resembles a tongue, with numerous bluish capillaries on its surface, through which red blood flows rapidly.

That mass of blood-red color continued to writhe slowly, as if its body were very long, never to be fully traversed, and it seemed as though it had been squatting at the door, incessantly performing some strange movements

A muffled sound, reminiscent of a strong wind sweeping across the grasslands, came from outside the door

A long strand of slime is hanging from the red object, stretching in through the crack of the door, growing longer and longer

Zhao Zhi finally relaxed his stiff neck and firmly placed his head back on the pillow

The red object grew longer and longer, until it finally extended directly to the edge of Zhao Zhi's bed

A drop of red seeped out from the flesh and fell to the ground

Zhao Zhi suddenly felt a chill run through his body

The blood-red outside the door remained still, as if it did not wish to pay any attention to Zhao Zhi

Now, he suddenly feels that being bound is no longer such a terrifying thing

However, suddenly, he recalled a more serious issue
