Chapter 981: The Red Eyes in the Lens
Ling Moâs voice came through the speaker, followed by a series of rustling sounds. The screen showed the âGiant God Warriorâ struggling and waving its arms, while the black fog slowly approached the lens.
âItâs going inâŠâ Xu Shuhan felt a bit nervous. Even though she knew it was just a recording, the recent experience made her feel as if she were the one holding the mobile phone and going in. On the other hand, Ling Mo remained calm, with a hint of anticipation on his face.
âAnnoyingâŠâ Xu Shuhan muttered to herself, but her eyes were wide open, unwilling to miss a single detail. After all, it was just a videoâŠ
The lens had now fully entered the black fog, and the screen turned pitch black. After a couple of shakes, some vague outlines began to appear. The image quality was so poor that they had to watch closely, afraid of missing any changes.
âAh!â Xu Shuhan suddenly exclaimed, shrinking back and pointing at the screen. âThere was a shadowâŠâ
âIt was the Monsterâs hand,â Ling Mo explained, still focused on the screen. âWe had just entered, so even if there was something, it couldnât reach us. But did you notice? Thereâs no sound.â
âNo sound?â Xu Shuhan, who had been concentrating on the screen, only then realized-there really was no sound. It seemed that from the moment the screen turned black, the mobile phone had stopped picking up any noiseâŠ
Compared to a Zombieâs night vision, the mobile phoneâs night shooting capability was much worse. But it had its advantages: it was safe and could record audio. When the camera was on, so was the audio. But now, the video was still playing, yet there was no sound. Was it broken? Impossible, it was working just a moment ago. If it were just quiet around them, that would be one thing, but what about the Monsterâs struggling sounds? It was still being dragged by Ling Mo, after all. It shouldnât just give upâŠ
âIs the Monster not moving?â Xu Shuhan asked tentatively.
Ling Moâs mouth twitched. âThatâs right. I can sense its every move with my psychic power, so Iâm sure of it. Isnât it strange?â
Xu Shuhan nodded. âYeah⊠Normally, it should struggle harder to escape, especially now that itâs away from us and closer to its companionsâŠâ
âYes, thatâs the usual response, but here, itâs the most fatal move,â Ling Mo said.
âWhat do you mean? Oh⊠You meanâŠâ Xu Shuhan suddenly thought of how they had âavoidedâ the Monsters earlier. Comparing the two, their actions seemed quite similar to the Monsterâs!
âExactly. I didnât think much of it at the time, just found it odd. But then something else happenedâŠâ Ling Mo said.
At that moment, the mobile phone picked up a new sound.
âRustleâŠâ
âItâs those Monsters!â Xu Shuhan covered her mouth, her face full of fear. Even though the sound was faint, it felt like a thunderclap to her. She could almost imagine something crawling in the darkness, staring at her through the screenâŠ
âDonât worry, theyâre still far away. I think they were attracted by the mobile phoneâs light, so their reaction is still mild,â Ling Mo said.
Indeed, the sound was still faint. If they were really close, the mobile phone would be overwhelmed by the rustling sound. But Xu Shuhan didnât understand why the Monstersâ reaction was still mild if they had noticed the light. She thought about it and asked.
âWell⊠Remember the Monsterâs goal? It wanted to lure us in. I guess its plan was to speed up, create some distance, and then let us make noise and get noticed,â Ling Mo explained.
Xu Shuhan nodded in realization. âSo, theyâre mainly reacting to sound?â
âYes, but more accurately, theyâre reacting to the presence of living beings. The Monsters can sense the presence of creatures and then ambush them from the black fog,â Ling Mo added. đ§áŒÎOÍđ±Ăđ
âI seeâŠâ Xu Shuhan felt a chill. Although Ling Moâs words were just guesses, they seemed to be the most plausible explanation given the circumstances. She had thought the Monster had some elaborate scheme to trap them, but it turned out to be such a straightforward method.
The simpler the method, the easier it was to fall for it, especially when it involved breathing. Who could have predicted that? Thinking back, she still found it terrifyingâŠ
No wonder Ling Mo had covered her mouth and nose. He must have been holding his breath tooâŠ
âBut I was pressing down on him, and he didnât complainâŠâ Xu Shuhanâs thoughts drifted back, and she quickly shook herself out of it. Now was not the time to think about that⊠Focus on the video!
They were still in the black fog, and the Monsters could return at any moment. The more they learned now, the better their chances of survival. And she could guess Ling Moâs thoughts⊠He probably wasnât in a hurry to leaveâŠ
âListen, the sound is getting louder,â Ling Mo said, bringing the mobile phone closer.
The rustling sound was indeed clearer. According to Ling Moâs analysis, it was because the mobile phone was getting closer to the Monsters. The âGiant God Warriorâ remained silent, seemingly holding its breath.
But then, the screen suddenly shook, and the rustling sound intensified.
Xu Shuhan instinctively leaned back, while Ling Mo explained seriously, âThis is when I used my psychic power to influence the Monster.â
It was more than just influence; he had used his Tentacle to force the Monster⊠This was to test his hypothesis. The Monster didnât make a sound, just breathed heavily twice, and caused such a commotion. The subsequent events were straightforwardâŠ
As the Monster let out a scream, the lens shook violently. When a drop of blood splattered on the lens, a shadow seemed to flash by⊠Then there was a tumble, and when the screen steadied, Ling Moâs figure appeared.
This all happened in a second, but it left Xu Shuhan stunned⊠Even though the Monster had no resistance, it was still one of their kind⊠Yet they tore off the âGiant God Warriorâsâ headâŠ
On the other hand, Xu Shuhan knew firsthand the âGiant God Warriorâsâ defensive capability⊠It was hard enough to leave a scratch, let alone tear off its head. Only someone at Ye Lian or Xia Naâs level could possibly kill it with their own strength. Of course, there were many ways to kill it, but none that these Monsters would use. They simply swarmed itâŠ
Most importantlyâŠ
âDid you see that?â Xu Shuhan blinked, her voice a bit shaky.
âYesâŠâ Ling Mo nodded heavily.
As he swiped his finger across the screen, the video began to rewind, finally pausing. The screen showed a blood-red eye⊠It was so close to the lens that it filled the entire screen.
In the midst of the blood-red, they could feel a chilling presence through the screen⊠as if it were staring right at them!
