Chapter 33 Going Downstairs

Obviously,

The open window on the balcony was left there intentionally by the other party, with the purpose of luring Luo Di over there, with his back to 【it】.

Even with the fastest reaction, it was already too late.

“Wu…”

Before he could utter a single word,

Cold, soft, and damp hair had already climbed up Luo Di’s neck, instantly sealing his mouth shut to keep quiet. The noise in the room would never exceed the white noise of a downpour.

The black hair wrapped around her face was unusually tough and could not be torn apart with just her fingers.

Luo Di could only turn around with all his might.

Just as he turned around, several more strands of hair rushed over, wrapped around his limbs, and pushed him against the wall behind him.

The hair even had a sticky quality, like spider silk. Luo Di was stuck to the wall in a starfish shape, unable to move, and the excess hair retracted.

Luo Di finally saw the “intruder” clearly, the Pseudo-human crawling on the ceiling and hiding in the shadows.

An extremely ugly humanoid spider, judging from its body shape and the length of its few strands of hair, it should be female.

【Limbs】: The limbs that should belong to humans are deformed and elongated, and the palms can stably adhere to the wall surface to achieve various forms of crawling.

【Head】: Ferocious, ugly and covered with wrinkles, with severe hair loss and the entire scalp full of rotten pits.

【Torso】: This part is not significantly different, and is covered by a black garment that is soaked by rain.

【Tail】: The end of the trunk, which is the location of a normal person’s buttocks, has a special tissue that even Luo Di finds physiologically uncomfortable.

The coccyx bifurcates at its end, connecting two girls’ heads as the so-called “spider butt,” which is also this woman’s trophy.

One of the girls’ faces immediately reminded Luo Di of the portrait of the deceased he had seen in the community mortuary on the first day of winter vacation.

In retrospect, the chilling wind I felt at the time was probably a warning from the dead girl.

Both of the girl heads fixed to the tail had beautiful faces and smooth black hair, and even seemed to be alive, blinking and moving their lips, but their pupils were already cloudy white.

The girl’s head can be activated, causing her hair to grow wildly in a short period of time, and this can be controlled to a certain extent.

It was their hair that completely bound Luo Di, preventing him from making any sound.

The bracelet used to communicate with the outside world was also taken away by the hair immediately.

Luo Di did not panic but instead tried his best to think and analyze.

‘This is the lurking Pseudo-human that the Investigator is hunting, the source of the neighborhood lockdown… She has already killed two people, her monsterization skills are very high, and it is estimated that her mind corner has been formed for almost a year.’

More difficult to deal with than zombies, they are truly anomalies.

She was supposed to leave after the resettlement community was locked down, but on the eve of her escape, she unexpectedly met the squad leader who was knocking on the door. He was more outstanding than her previous two targets in terms of appearance, age, and hair.

Was the intense temptation compelling her to take the risk and stay behind, waiting for her opportunity?

Even with all his strength, Luo Di couldn’t break free. His mouth was completely sealed shut, and he could only watch helplessly as the other person crawled towards the bedroom and towards the sleeping class monitor.

With no way out of his predicament, he could only close his eyes and try to recall the complex symbols of hell.

However, just as she closed her eyes, a shout came.

“ Luo Di!”

The latter suddenly opened his eyes and saw something flying straight from the bedroom. Even Pseudo-human himself didn’t react in time and failed to intercept it.

Whoosh!

With precise cuts through the hair wrapped around Luo Di’s right hand, the blade, covered in white cloth, was firmly inserted into the wall.

The person who threw the weapon was the squad leader.

She had already undergone sleep training and would wake up at the slightest disturbance. When Luo Di got out of bed in the middle of the night, she opened her eyes and noticed the unusual situation outside.

However, there is still a problem.

The squad leader was still standing in the bedroom, with the rather dangerous Pseudo-human between them.

Even if Luo Di obtains the weapon, it will still take him some time to break free from the restraints on his limbs and neck.

Now that the woman on the ceiling had been exposed, she no longer hid and pounced directly on Wu Wen at the bedroom door.

Its fully extended limbs almost completely blocked the escape route.

Wow~

The class monitor remained completely calm, and was even prepared in advance.

She suddenly swung her left hand out from behind her back, throwing out all the bedding she used for sleeping, which blocked her path.

Just as the blankets blocked the other person’s view, the squad leader’s leg muscles bulged and exploded instantly, performing a super-fast fish-like leap and roll.

By rolling out of the monster’s attack range at a very low position, they successfully reached the living room area and met up with Luo Di.

Tick-tock tick-tock~

However, as the squad leader rolled to his feet, blood flowed down his left arm, leaving a clearly visible scratch that stretched from his elbow to the back of his hand.

Although it was only a superficial injury, it severed the wristband used for communication.

Now, both of them were deprived of all means of contacting the outside world.

Spiderweb-like strands of hair lay scattered on the ground. Luo Di had regained her freedom. The two immediately exchanged a glance, needing no verbal communication whatsoever.

They knew better than anyone that these Pseudo-humans, who had achieved ” Fear Manifestation,” were beyond their ability to fight as students, not to mention that the class monitor didn’t even have a decent piece of self-defense equipment.

There is only one thing that needs to be done and can be done now.

【run】

As long as you can get out of the building, you can shout for help, and residents will surely call for emergency medical assistance immediately.

Moreover, there is a high probability that all it takes for the two of them to break through the cordon of the locked-down apartment building is for some kind of sensor to be activated, and the Investigator, who is located not far away, will arrive immediately.

rush!

The two athletes, who were among the best in sports, ran towards the door at the same time.

Descend the stairs as quickly as possible.

Luo Di even used one hand to support himself on the escalator and quickly descended the stairs by hurdling.

Even though the two of them didn’t turn around the whole time, they knew very well that the thing was behind them, and they could even vaguely feel damp hair sticking to the back of their heads.

However, this pursuit did not last.

【Third Floor】

Luo Di, who was charging at the front, suddenly stopped and looked sharply behind him.

Seeing this, the squad leader immediately shouted, “What are you waiting for me for? Run!”

“No… we stopped chasing that thing.”

“ah?”

The squad leader also slowed down and turned his head to look at the top of the stairs, but there was indeed no sign of him chasing after them.

The squad leader offered a terrifying theory: “That guy might have climbed into someone’s house, jumped out of the window, and planned to climb in from below and chase us from the bottom up.”

“Yeah?”

Luo Di peered through the gaps between the handrails to the bottom floor.

After waiting for a while, nothing suspicious was seen entering from downstairs.

The squad leader added, “It’s also possible that the thing is lurking at the stairwell exit, waiting to launch a fatal sneak attack the moment we go out.”

Since there’s no one in the stairwell right now, we can ask the residents of this building to help us contact the outside world.

I remember when we knocked on each door and went upstairs, there was a very kind-looking old man living on the second floor. We quickly went to his house and called the Investigator.

Luo Di nodded.

The two walked back to back in the stairwell. Luo Di was responsible for observing the situation below, while the squad leader was responsible for observing the situation above. If anything was found to be abnormal on either side, they would run in the opposite direction.

I climbed the stairs and went down one floor smoothly.

Just as they were about to knock on the door of the second-floor resident, the squad leader suddenly froze, staring incredulously at the somewhat blurry floor markings on the wall.

【three】.

They were on the third floor just now, and now they’ve gone down one floor, but they’re still on the third floor.

The class monitor had a bad feeling and pulled Luo Di down one more floor.

As expected, the floor number was still 【three】, and the door structure and the degree of paint peeling on the handrails were also the same.

“Oh no! This is the ‘ Corner- like space’ that we learned about in the textbook…”
