Chapter 19 Using Tigers to Devour Wolves
Trapped between a wolf and a tiger, Shen Wei was in a perilous situation. His nerves were stretched taut, his whole being in a state of high alert, and even his hands trembled uncontrollably.
"3, 2, 1..."
Shen Wei counted down silently.
Just as the two terrifying exhibits drew near, a burst of music suddenly erupted from his left front.
"Aaa, you are my baby! The taste of missing you subtly haunts me, baby, baby..."
The dynamic music instantly captured the attention of the two terrifying exhibits, and they both turned and headed toward the source of the sound.
"Phew."
Shen Wei let out a long breath, the taut strings of his heart relaxing. He quickly ran toward the entrance of the second exhibition hall.
On the other side, beside the phone with the blaring alarm, the man holding the copper bell and a huge, deer-headed monster stared at each other.
The man with the copper bell glanced at the phone Shen Wei had thrown on the ground, then at the tall, deer-headed monster. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
"Wendigo? Listen, I actually..."
"Roar..."
The tall, deer-headed monster looked at the phone on the ground, then at the somewhat dazed man. A hint of brutality and cruelty flickered in its eyes. He interrupted the man with an angry roar, then his form dissolved into black mist and vanished.
When the Wendigo reappeared, it was already behind the man holding the copper bell.
"Jingle bell..."
The clear sound of the copper bell rang out, and the Wendigo's clasped hands seemed to be blocked by two invisible walls, unable to inflict any damage on the man.
In that moment of stalemate, a flash of bloody light appeared, and the man with the copper bell vanished from before the Wendigo’s eyes!
"Roar..."
The Wendigo was furious. It twitched its nose, its eyes instantly locking onto a direction.
"You...can't...es...cape..."
The Wendigo strode toward the depths of the exhibition hall.
At the same time, the red-clothed staff member who had just placed a snow-white skeleton into a glass display case frowned upon hearing the angry roar.
"Damn it, that guy is really looking for trouble. He actually released that thing. This is going to be difficult. I wonder if that kid has been eaten by it?..."
Shen Wei ran quickly, passing one strange and terrifying exhibit after another. As he passed, many of the exhibits pounded on the glass of their display cases, crying out that they were not exhibits, but living people.
"Save me, please! I don't want to be trapped here forever..."
"Brother, I'm a person, I'm not a so-called exhibit, I want to go home..."
"Open the door of the glass display case, and I can fulfill any request you have..."
The voices of these terrifying exhibits were shrill and resentful, constantly assaulting Shen Wei's fragile nerves. Not only that, but even the lights in the Inhuman (Modern) Exhibition Hall began to flicker erratically, as if they were about to go out at any moment. The bizarre scene sent chills down one's spine, with goosebumps erupting all over.
Shen Wei ignored the chaotic sounds and ran straight into the passage leading to the next exhibition hall.
The Inhuman (Modern) Exhibition Hall he had just visited was already quite large. And the passage to the next exhibition hall was so long. It could be inferred that the area occupied by this oddities museum was far larger than it appeared, perhaps even unimaginably so.
"A doomsday wasteland world shrouded in mist, an unbelievably large oddities museum, countless strange and bizarre exhibits, mysterious museum staff, and the unseen 'It' lurking in the shadows... What kind of being could control such a terrifying museum? Is it a so-called 'god'? Is the owner of the museum inside this oddities museum, or in the wasteland world outside? It's chilling to think about!"
The more Shen Wei thought about it, the more frightened he became.
"Tch! Some second-rate collectibles, is it really worth you hyping them up like that? You just haven't seen my collection yet. If you saw my collection, your eyeballs would pop out in fright..."
Shen Wei's dark, eerie right hand said sourly.
"Yo yo yo, you're really a little cow riding a plane, so awesome you're flying to the sky..."
Shen Wei curled his lips with a look of disdain.
"Heh, I think you've forgotten the fear of being dominated by me. Lethal...Cock...Punch!"
The devilish voice of the eerie right hand echoed in Shen Wei's mind.
"Righty, don't be like that! We're bros! Can't I even make a joke? Ah..."
Shen Wei screamed, covering his groin with both hands and kneeling on the ground, his expression painful and twisted.
"Damn it, that hand is really vicious!..."
Shen Wei said through gritted teeth.
"Mastermind, check it out! Thanks!"
Shen Wei "..."
"You only see the terror of the oddities museum's owner. But have you ever thought about it? Such a terrifying existence with heaven-defying power is trapped in this abandoned world, only able to entertain itself..."
The tone of Shen Wei's eerie right hand suddenly became unusually serious.
"You're saying that the supreme being who governs the rule anomaly, his power is unimaginable..."
"That's right. The so-called gods are nothing more than ants in his eyes..."
Shen Wei's heart was in turmoil, and his face became solemn.
The lights used to illuminate the passage to the next exhibition hall were a strange, ghastly green. In an oddities museum with an already strong atmosphere of horror, such lighting undoubtedly deepened the fear in people's hearts.
However, that wasn't all. The walls on both sides of the long passage were also covered with strangely painted oil paintings with absurd and terrifying content.
Shen Wei gave the terrifying paintings a cursory glance and was immediately shocked!
An angel with black wings, hidden in the heavy mist, vaguely visible...
Rolling black clouds, a distorted environment, demonic eyes like a red sun, overlooking a land littered with corpses...
There was also a blood-stained altar, a mountain of skulls, and a terrifying being sitting on a huge bone throne whose face could not be seen...
This oppressive and terrifying atmosphere made Shen Wei feel as if he had fallen into a mire-like alien space, with mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and bones everywhere before his eyes. Terrifying whispers echoed in his ears, as if singing the praises of ancient gods. All of this made his breathing rapid, his heart beat wildly, his mind began to become chaotic, and a nameless fear quietly grew in his heart.
This was a normal human physiological phenomenon. The unknown often breeds the deepest fears in the heart.
"Tch, a few secretive guys just know how to act mysterious, pretending to be big shots. They even made a few abstract paintings to sing their praises, I'm going to be sick..."
Shen Wei's eerie right hand suddenly spoke up, complaining about the evil and terrifying oil paintings on the wall.
Shen Wei, who was trapped in fear, like a suffocating fish, was pulled back to reality by this snarky voice.
He bent down, supported his knees, and gasped for breath. The cold sweat on his body had already completely soaked his clothes.
"Worthless trash, you're making me look down on you. I remember someone once said something to me that left a deep impression: The song of mankind is the song of courage, the greatness of mankind is the greatness of courage..."
