The Labyrinth of the Monsters

Chapter 12 – Melee

"Pound!" At the same time, a powerful arm broke through the door.

This arm was not human, it was broad, strong, with brass-colored muscles that bulged high, like steel, and the back of the huge palm was covered with eerie scales, the nails on the four fingers were several centimeters long, hard, sharp, like blades.

In the moment Gao Yang tackled Chubby Jun, the claws that broke through the door followed closely, cutting Gao Yang's left arm.

The claws sensed the blood and trembled with short-lived excitement, then it began to crazily cut the door. The door, like a fragile cardboard, was quickly cut into pieces by the monster outside.

The beast walked into the room, stepping on the broken wood, making a soft and terrifying sound.

The main light in the room had been turned off, dim, eerie red, and oppressive.

"Three, there are actually three... Ah, ah ah..." Auntie He's voice was unusually excited, faintly mixed with inexplicable sorrow and immense gratitude, "They are all mine... all..."

Gao Yang lay behind the water bed, enduring the intense pain in his arm, covering Chubby Jun's trembling mouth with one hand, not daring to make a sound.

Soon, Gao Yang's fingers became wet, it was Chubby Jun's tears of fear.

The room was dimly lit, and Gao Yang could see the enemy's appearance through the ceiling mirror above his head.@@@@

Indeed, it was "Auntie He," a middle-aged woman who appeared to be in her fifties, wearing a janitor uniform. She looked thin and old, her body and head still maintained a human appearance, but her limbs had transformed into a beast, excessively large and strong, tearing through her pants and sleeves, appearing extremely incongruous.

She walked step by step into the entrance, her body trembling with excitement.

Soon, a wet and smooth deep blue tail emerged from her back.

The growth of the tail was somewhat difficult, it emerged inch by inch, accompanied by sticky and murky body fluids, just like the amniotic fluid during childbirth.

It pressed against Auntie He's hip bone and spine, causing her body to bend forward.

Finally, a two-meter long tail as thick as a thigh fully grew out, dragging on the ground, making a chilling rustling sound like a snake slithering.

She now looked like a lizardman.

Witnessing the whole process, Gao Yang felt fear from the bottom of his heart, feeling dizzy and ringing in his ears. In fact, apart from enduring the pain, holding his breath, waiting for death to come a little slower, he had no way to resist.

He knew very well that he could never be a match for this monster.

In a daze, he daydreamed.

Gao Yang remembered the scene when he killed a cockroach with a slipper.

At that time, the cockroach quickly hid under the bed after being discovered, but Gao Yang easily drove it out and then, with a disgusted and arrogant mood, slapped it to death with a "smack."

Gao Yang felt that he was now that small and desperate cockroach.

The only hope was Qing Ling, who was hiding somewhere in the room.

The people in the room were in a long and agonizing stalemate for ten seconds.

Maybe it was only seven seconds, Gao Yang didn't count.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Three sharp daggers flew out from the darkness, aiming for Auntie He's eyes.

Auntie He quickly raised her arm to block.

Gao Yang picked up the severed wire of the hairdryer and placed it on the blade.

There were no sparks like in the movies, and there was no sign of electrocution. Only a dull and brief "zzt" sound was heard, and Auntie He knelt down, her body going limp.

She didn't faint, and tried to stand up.

Gao Yang quickly shocked her again.

Auntie He convulsed violently and fell to the ground.

She still tried to get up, her tail swinging back and forth on the ground. If a normal human was electrocuted, they would definitely faint, if not die on the spot.

Qing Ling somehow stood up, she stepped forward, pulled out the Tang Blade from Auntie He's thigh, and forcefully stabbed it into her right chest. Auntie He let out a painful howl, her hands flailing wildly.

"Help!" Qing Ling shouted.

Gao Yang quickly threw away the wire in his hand, grabbed Qing Ling's hands from behind, and pushed forward with force.

Finally, the Tang Blade pierced through Auntie He's chest.

Auntie He convulsed all over, unable to even scream, her head tilted to the side, pinned to the pink wall. The scene was indescribably eerie.

Qing Ling, covered in wounds and exhausted, took a deep breath and relaxed, leaning back against Gao Yang's chest. He could feel her "thump thump thump" heartbeat.

After a few seconds of silence, Qing Ling turned around and collapsed onto the water bed, nearly fainting. She was covered in wounds, and the white bathrobe she was wrapped in was dotted with blood.

Gao Yang's mind was blank, he covered his injured shoulder that had started to hurt again, standing in a room that was a mess, dirty, and bloody. The air was filled with an indescribable pungent smell.

If he had to describe it, it felt like rotten eggs mixed with burning plastic, with a hint of menthol and mustard added to the flames.

Gao Yang felt a surge in his stomach, he knelt in front of Auntie He's body, vomiting violently.

Chubby Jun, who had narrowly escaped death, wasn't idle. He quickly found something to block the door, saying with lingering fear: "Luckily, no one else was in the other rooms on this floor."

"Didn't you say there was only one room left on this floor?" Gao Yang wiped his mouth.

"Hehe, I lied to you, business has been really bad lately." Fatty ran over, treating Gao Yang's arm.

"Elder brother."

"I'm younger than you."

"From now on, you're my real brother." Chubby Jun looked at Qing Ling on the water bed: "And she's my sister-in-law!"

"..." Qing Ling didn't speak, but one could feel the "killing intent" emanating from her exhausted body.

"Bro, I have a question, how did you realize something was wrong with Auntie He?" Chubby Jun asked.

"Sound." Gao Yang's voice was tired, "If she was here to clean, there would be a cart, right? When I asked her to leave, I didn't hear the sound of the cart wheels."

"Amazing!" Chubby Jun slapped his thigh, "You think so fast! Why didn't I think of that!"

"Nonsense! My brother, do I even need to say it, he's smart!"

Gao Yang was startled and turned around.

The one speaking was none other than Wang Zikai.
