450: Chapter 331: Hell Just a Door Away 450: Chapter 331: Hell Just a Door Away Just thinking about how two people might have died in this large tank in front of him, Aaron lost some interest in it.
On the other hand, Bena stood silently in the distance, staring at the tank for a long time.
Finally, unable to hold back, Aaron spoke up to remind her, and only then did she snap out of it.
After that, the two resumed their actions.
They searched the police station thoroughly once again, but in the end, they found nothing and decided to leave.
āHold on a second, Iāll make a call and seeā¦ā
Before leaving, an undyingly hopeful Bena took out her phone, ready to make a last attempt.
She dialed a number, which was Officer Henryās phone.
āRing ring~ring ring~ā
Soon, a sharp ring echoed in the spacious hall.
The sound was sudden and somewhat piercing, startling them both in such an environment.
āRing ring~ring ring~ā
The ringing continued, seemingly coming from behind them.
āHmm?
Judging by the direction of the ring, is thisā¦
the evidence room?ā
Aaron looked towards the sound, his gaze landing on the room in the corner.
The evidence room, they had checked it out too.
However, because the room was small and there was such a large tank inside, quite ominous, they hadnāt gone in.
āCould it be that Officer Henry didnāt leave?
Or did he leave his phone inside?ā
Bena also looked puzzled and couldnāt help but head in that direction to find out.
āWait a second!ā
However, a hand suddenly stopped her, pulling her back.
āAaron?
Whatās wrong?ā
Bena stopped and turned her head in confusion to look at the man.
Aaron swallowed and pointed in the direction of the evidence room, saying:
āBena, look there, donāt you think thereās something strange about itā¦?ā
āSomething strange?ā
At his words, Bena looked in that direction.
By now, the call had exceeded the time limit, and the ringing had automatically stopped.
In the narrow evidence room, they could only see a large tank blocking the doorway, giving off an eerie sense.
āSomething strangeā¦?ā
Bena muttered again, and then focused her attention on the tank, suddenly her expression froze:
āIā¦
I feel like the position of this tank is slightly different from when we first came inā¦?ā
As soon as she said this, Aaron could no longer maintain his composure, revealing a shocked expression.
āYou noticed it tooā¦
Iāve been watching that tank since we first came in, but it only showed a part of itself then, unlike now, almost squeezing itself outā¦ā
Both young adults involuntarily clenched what they were holding, and Bena, trembling slightly, took out her phone again and dialed the previous number.
āRing ring~ring ring~ā
The bell rang once again, and this time, the two could clearly hear that the sound was indeed coming from the water tank in front of them!
āHow, how can this beā¦
What on earth is thatā¦?ā
Aaron was extremely shocked at this moment.
Although he was a young man with eccentric fantasies, he was not stupid.
From the brief experiences just now, a somewhat bizarre and terrifying conclusion had already emerged in his mind.
The water tank moved!
Andā
It had eaten Officer Henry!
The actions of the two seemed to have flipped a switch.
The water tank, which had previously looked unremarkable, suddenly underwent a series of changes.
The tank began to shake violently, the deep brown shell on it suddenly developed a series of cracks, and then the cracks shattered, accompanied by the falling off of the outer layer, revealing the grayish glowing skin underneath.
āCreak~ Creak~ā
The sound of bricks falling rang out, and the bottom of the tank suddenly extended eight limbs like that of a spider, and the whole body also stood up from the ground.
Not only that, but with this molting-like transformation, the monsterās size visibly expanded by a circle.
Its height, which was already equal to that of an adultās waist, now, with a few legs standing up, approached Aaron who was a tall young man.
āCrack~ Crack, crack, crack, crack~ā
A giant mouth split open, snapped a few times in the direction of the two, and revealed four rows of sharp teeth inside.
Aaron even saw a lot of saliva and flesh bits in its mouth.
In seeing the monster at this moment, all questions seemed to have been answered in that instant.
All talk of drowning, thorny demons, and the townās crisis was all false!
The real crisis was actually hidden right here!
No wonder Benaās parents had told her not to go out.
Turns out, the real culprit had always been guarding at her doorstep!
Just a door away, was Hell!
āMonsterā¦ it really appeared!ā
Faced with this scene, his heart was tremendously shaken, like a super tsunami, making his body start to tremble uncontrollably.
Aaron felt the hairs on his back stand on end.
Since he was young, he had always pursued Demon Hunting, always been mocked, but he never gave up on the beautiful fantasy in his heart.
Did he really not know how impractical that was?
Did he really not know it made him seem naive and ridiculous?
How could he possibly not see the disdainful attitude of others towards him?
But even so, he had never given up, and even now, he had personally set out, turning that past fantasy into action, even if it yielded nothing, without any complaints.
It was like some peopleās belief in gods; Demon Hunting was his belief.
And now, when that belief turned into reality, appearing so unexpectedly in front of him, Aaron felt nothing of the joy he had imagined.
At least at this moment, he couldnāt smile at all.
It was like the story of Lord Ye loving dragons, when one truly faces the monstrous and terrifying existence from legends.
When oneās life is not in oneās own hands, potentially being taken away at any moment.
Even what had once been oneās greatest pursuit and aspiration becomes unimportant at times like this.
What remains is only the most basic survival instinct.
Aaron and Bena just felt their legs as if they were filled with lead, completely unable to move.
Although reason was desperately telling them they must turn around and run immediately, their bodies simply wouldnāt respond.
