Horror Game: Cthulhu Fairy Tales

Chapter 7 Sophistry Hospital (7)

Lin Yin felt that Lin Yu didn't want to pay attention to her, so she patted his shoulder in annoyance.

"what happened?"

Lin Yu turned around and looked at his sister.

"Why are you in a bad mood?"

Lin Yu shook his head at Lin Yin and did not explain more. He also could not tell the other party all the feelings in his heart. After all, he felt a strange sense of déjà vu about this world after returning from the first floor.

After Lin Yin came back from downstairs, she felt that Lin Yu had changed a bit, and he seemed a little strange to her.

While the two were talking, they heard the bell ringing outside, and they quickly covered their mouths and lay down.

After hearing the shouting stop, Xie Yueye kept staring at the environment in the corridor. The moment the bell rang, thick fog began to float in the corridor.

"squeak--"

The sound of metal dragging on the ground was heard in the corridor.

Huang Xiang shrank into the corner near the door in fear. His intuition seemed to tell him that it was very dangerous outside.

Huang Xiang also noticed that Xie Yueye's expression had become unusually serious.

"What's wrong-"

Huang Xiang pulled the other person's hand and asked Xie Yueye by mouthing questions.

Xie Yueye just shook his head at him and continued to look outside. He had a premonition that there would be new deaths tonight.

The people hiding in the two wards on the fourth floor apparently also heard the extremely harsh sound of metal dragging.

Compared to the twins next door, Zhao Si was trembling and unable to remain calm. His familiar brothers were not around, and now the person in the same ward with him was the timid man named Qian Nan.

Zhao Si was trembling while thinking that if something happened he could just push the other person out, when he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Through the gap in the quilt, he saw what seemed to be a figure standing behind him, swaying.

Zhao Si just thought that maybe Qian Nan, who was lying on the bed behind him, had stood up when he realized something was wrong. The height of the shadow was obviously not the height of the short Qian Nan, and there was no light in his room, so how could he see the shadow on the wall! !

Just as Zhao Si was about to lift the quilt and run away, he felt that his body seemed to be out of control, and then he felt his head seemed to fall to the ground.

The last thing he saw was a pair of shoes standing behind him across the hospital bed.

When Xie Yueye heard the sound of metal dragging suddenly stop, he immediately realized that something was wrong. He immediately picked up the axe behind him and smashed it hard towards the door.

"when--"

Huang Xiang was just wondering about Xie Yueye's behavior when he heard the sound of metal colliding. A tall, long humanoid creature appeared in front of him, chopping down with a sickle, but the sickle was blocked by Xie Yueye's axe.

"What is this...?!"

Huang Xiang took a few steps back and leaned against the cabinet before he could see the scene clearly.

The closed door disappeared at some point, and a tall, slender humanoid monster had one foot inside the door and the other foot outside, and the weapon he was using was a weapon similar to the Grim Reaper's scythe.

"It seems that we have all been deceived."

Xie Yueye pushed back the opponent's attack, and the long monster took a few steps back, then looked up at the human in front of him.

"What... was I deceived..."

Huang Xiang asked Xie Yueye, who was obviously unhappy at the door, in a trembling voice.

"The time shown on the clock is not necessarily the real time, and the fog and the sound of the bells do not necessarily mean that it is twelve o'clock."

Xie Yueye picked up another axe and walked out the door, looking at the long humanoid monster that became blurred in the fog.

"The scream just now was an attack that occurred after twelve o'clock."

Xie Yueye continued to explain to the trembling yellow-haired man behind him.

"It's very likely that by the time we meet the strange man in the white coat, it will be twelve o'clock."

Huang Xiang couldn't stop shaking as he listened to Xie Yueye's words.

"Then then then...what should we do?"

Huang Xiang suddenly understood what Xie Yueye meant. The twelve o'clock in this hospital was determined by the satisfaction of a certain condition, and was not determined by the time displayed on the clock at all.

"Then it can go at any time it wants!"

Huang Xiang cried out when he thought of this. He felt like he was about to be scared to death even before he was chased.

"No, there should be specific conditions, but we haven't discovered them yet."

Xie Yueye continued to stare at the monster in front of him and chatted with the yellow-haired man behind him. Suddenly he felt something was wrong. Why did he suddenly have a creepy feeling?

"Get out of the way!"

After Xie Yueye shouted at the people inside, he dodged an attack that could only be judged from the sound of the wind.

When Huang Xiang heard the other party's shouting, he instinctively dodged forward and felt as if he had touched something, and the cabinet behind him was instantly split in half.

"what!!!"

Huang Xiang immediately realized that he had touched that kind of monster. He quickly bypassed the monster and ran to Xie Yueye's side.

Only when he is around his elder brother, whom he knows, can he feel at ease.

"How is this going……"

Huang Xiang saw the black shadow in the distance that was obviously not moving and thought it was all very strange.

"There are two possibilities. The first possibility is that it's all an illusion."

Xie Yueye pulled Huang Xiang back and dodged another attack.

"There is...there is another possibility?"

Huang Xiang asked tremblingly as he pulled Xie Yueye who was dancing with him.

"Are you sure you want to know?"

Xie Yueye held the other person's head, squatted down, and asked.

Huang Xiang trembled as he followed Xie Yueye, spinning and jumping like a ballet dancer. Although he was very scared, he also wanted to know the answer.

"I...I want to know."

When Xie Yueye was spinning around and around and bringing them almost to the stairs, Huang Xiang gave the answer.

"The second possibility is that there are just so many of these monsters, and they move slowly, so after the attack they will just stand there in a daze."

After hearing this, Huang Xiang discovered that there were indeed many black shadows that remained in the same place and did not move.

"Then what should we do? There are obviously a lot of them..."

Xie Yueye listened to the noise in the wind and did not answer the question. He was now concentrating all his energy on dodging the attacks. He did not know how many monsters there were, but it was obvious that he had no power to fight back.

"Brother...what should I do..."

Huang Xiang looked at the stairs not far away that started shaking again. He remembered the strange water sound he had heard before and felt even more scared.

"hide."

After Xie Yueye uttered this word, he and the people around him dodged even faster.

Xie Yueye also understood that if he didn't have this burden by his side, he might still be able to try to attack the long monster, but obviously he couldn't just leave it alone now.

After dodging all the way and being forced to the end of the corridor on the other side, Huang Xiang was so scared that he looked back at the wall.

"Brother! What should I do? It's the end!!!"

Huang Xiang nervously pulled at the sleeve of the person next to him. In this situation, there was nothing else he could do except screaming and following the other person closely.

"what time is it?"

Xie Yueye stared ahead and suddenly asked.

"Ah? Let me check the time..."

When Huang Xiang heard this question, he immediately turned around to look at the time and was stunned.

"Brother! Time stopped at nine o'clock!!!"

Huang Xiang saw that the time displayed on the clock was nine o'clock, but what was strange was that the clock hands just stopped in place and did not move.

Xie Yueye felt that the long monster suddenly stopped moving, so he looked at the clock behind him.

He immediately noticed something was wrong. The wall with the clock on it was obviously not a wall, but...

"Roar!!!"

Xie Yueye only had time to pull Huang Xiang against the wall to hide before he heard a roar, followed by a hurricane that blew away the fog in front of them.

"What is this...?"

Huang Xiang pointed at the monster in front of him with a trembling hand. Isn't this the stitched monster that chased him on the first day!!!

"Isn't this an old acquaintance of yours?"

Xie Yueye joked to the people around him, and then noticed that after the fog dissipated, the moonlight shone in and all the dark shadows disappeared.

"really……"

Xie Yueye looked at the monster in front of him that was as big as a hill and muttered to himself.

"Brother...what's wrong?"

Huang Xiang heard Xie Yueye speak, but didn't hear what the other party said, so he turned around and asked the other party.

Xie Yueye ignored Huang Xiang's question and looked up at the stitched monster in front of him.

The Stitched Monster roared, and after the mist was blown away to reveal the moonlight, it froze in place like a stone statue.

Xie Yueye raised the axe and gently hit the stitched monster. Not only did the monster not move, but the sound of the axe was just as Xie Yueye expected, like hitting a stone statue.

"what's the situation?"

Huang Xiang looked at the stitched monster in front of him in confusion. It was obvious that the monster seemed to be frozen in place by Medusa's magic power.

“That’s what you’re seeing now.”

Xie Yueye threw the axe on the ground, then walked around the stitched monster and moved forward.

"Brother...ah...wait for me!"

Huang Xiang quickly picked up the axe on the ground and chased after him. Although he didn't know why Xie Yueye threw away his weapon, he thought that the axe might still be useful.

"Brother...slow down! Wait for me!"

Huang Xiang trotted to catch up with the man with long legs and then walked side by side with him.

"Wow, the moon is too far away!"

Huang Xiang noticed the full moon outside and happily chattered to Xie Yueye beside him.

Xie Yueye just glanced at the moon outside the window and continued walking forward. He felt that he was very close to the truth.

"Huh? This is it?"

At the end of the corridor, Huang Xiang saw another wall and a clock hanging on the wall, which were exactly the same as the ones he saw on the first day he came here.

"Ten o'clock..."

Xie Yueye whispered the time on the clock.

"Hey? It's only ten o'clock now? What happened just now?"

Huang Xiang was also very confused after seeing the time clearly. He and his elder brother had both been attacked just now, but the time was actually showing ten o'clock? And this clock was obviously real, with the hour hand, minute hand, and second hand all moving.

Xie Yueye frowned and stared at the clock in front of him, ignoring what Huang Xiang said beside him. He felt that he was still a little bit away from the truth.

The moonlight shone in very brightly, illuminating the entire corridor clearly, and after the fog dissipated, the slightest sound in the corridor would seem very loud.

Xie Yueye and Huang Xiang heard footsteps coming from behind them at the same time. They turned around at the same time and saw a surprising face.
