Chapter 12 Lurking Threat

"You Sang, can you check if that strange woman is following us?"

Shen Wei called out to his bizarre right hand in his mind.

"Nope, she suddenly disappeared. What's wrong?"

The bizarre right hand rotated slightly, using the eye pattern on its palm to look back, then said to Shen Wei with some confusion.

Shen Wei scratched his head sheepishly, "I was too busy showing off just now, I'm afraid she doesn't follow the rules of the jianghu and will suddenly attack me…"

The bizarre right hand: "........"

The exhibits in the inhuman (ancient) section were much fewer than in the inhuman (modern) exhibition hall. But the atmosphere here was even more eerie and terrifying. The lights that were still on in the entire exhibition area were abnormally dim. About one-third of the exhibition area had broken lights and was completely dark. In other areas, some lights flickered constantly, as if they could go out at any moment.

"This place isn't simple. I feel a deep malice…"

The bizarre right hand constantly scanned the exhibition hall. Upon hearing this, Shen Wei's expression also became solemn.

"Let's look for any missed rules first!"

Shen Wei hesitated for a moment and didn't head towards the dark area. Instead, he began searching within the illuminated area.

Shen Wei moved between the various display cases, discovering many bizarre and terrifying ancient exhibits.

Among them were a Qing Dynasty official uniform zombie with arms raised, showing no signs of decay; a ghoul with grayish-white skin, hooves for feet, a dog-like face, and sharp claws, speaking in a short, whimpering tone; a grotesque witch with an ugly, wrinkled face and a sinister smile; a minotaur gnawing on human limbs...

Whenever Shen Wei passed by these display cases, the terrifying humanoid monsters would fix their greedy gazes on him. This made Shen Wei's hair stand on end, his heart pounding. But he constantly tried to restrain the fear in his heart, because releasing fear would violate Article 1 of the Bizarre Museum Visitor's Guide, attracting those unseen "it"!

"Brother, please let me out. I am also a Chosen One. I was only turned into this form by a vicious curse and locked up here as an exhibit. If you let me out, I can turn back into a human. Then you can do whatever you want to me. Oh, right, I can also give you a powerful ghoul artifact, how about it, brother, please…"

In a glass display case, a rabbit with the head of a beautiful woman cried, constantly hitting the glass display case with its front paws, trying to attract Shen Wei's attention.

Shen Wei stopped involuntarily, seeing it crying so pitifully.

Although the human-headed rabbit had a pretty face and was crying with pear blossom tears, giving people a feeling of wanting to cherish it.

"Stinky brat, quickly let her out. After she turns back into a human, this granddaddy will teach you a few moves, and let you know what's called the hand of god…"

The bizarre right hand sounded impatient, acting just like a dirty old man.

Shen Wei was furious: "Your little brain is completely undeveloped, your brain development is incomplete, you won't even let a rabbit go…"

"I'm just a hand, where would I get a brain?…"

In the end, Shen Wei didn't generously let it out. Instead, he looked at the introduction on the display case imprisoning it:

E'shou: One of the mythical monsters in ancient legends. It has a delicate face and a rabbit-like body. Its demeanor is graceful, and spiritual energy scatters between its gestures. It can speak human language. Those who believe it will become mad and be controlled by it.

"Good heavens, thankfully I didn't open it. If I had listened to that You Sang, I would already be an exhibit in the display case…"

Shen Wei secretly rejoiced. He turned and left, completely ignoring the little rabbit beauty who was begging bitterly!

"Don't go! Let this granddaddy watch for a while longer…"

Shen Wei's bizarre right hand was still somewhat reluctant to leave.

"Watch your mama's spicy neighbor…"

Shen Wei wandered around here, and the more he looked, the uglier his expression became. Because many display cases around him were empty, he came to a terrifying conclusion.

"It's possible that some of the humanoid exhibits here are unrestricted, and they can leave their display cases and move around freely. I just don't know where they are now. Are they hiding in the darkness over there? No, it's also possible that they are mixed in with the staff. This is truly a place full of danger…"

The more Shen Wei thought about it, the more terrifying he found it. His actions also became more and more cautious. Just as Shen Wei was a little distracted, a machete, carrying a gust of wind, suddenly swung out from behind a display case, heading straight for his neck, seemingly wanting to behead him with one blow.

A strong sense of danger made Shen Wei's hair stand on end. He almost reflexively performed a King Kong Iron Slab Bridge, barely dodging the blow. But the blade changed its angle and chopped downwards! Seeing its mercilessness, it looked like it wanted to kill him directly.

But after the last Rule Anomaly enhancement, Shen Wei's physical qualities had far surpassed ordinary people, and his nerve reaction speed had also become faster. He directly stretched out his right foot and used the momentum to kick the wrist of the person holding the machete. The machete, with a skull at the end of the handle, was kicked away, and in mid-air, the knife was caught by another thick arm. Shen Wei then used the momentum to do a backflip and regain his footing!

"Brother Liu, don't fight, he seems to be a Chosen One like us…"

A beautiful girl with a baseball cap and a single ponytail reached out and stopped the strong man who was about 1.9 meters tall.

"I can see that. His skills aren't bad. Looks like he's not a newbie."

The tall, sturdy man said calmly.

"Sorry, brother! We kept feeling like something was following us, but when we looked back, there was nothing. The front is also a dark area, so we didn't dare to go any further. We had to test 'it' here. If it's something strange, I can still delay it and buy some time to escape with the knife in my hand. I never expected it was you. I apologize to you again…"

The tall, sturdy man called Brother Liu squeezed out a smile on his face and apologized to Shen Wei repeatedly!

Although Shen Wei couldn't hear much sincerity in his tone, at least the man apologized. Getting angry at this time would make him seem petty, and besides, the other party had the advantage in numbers and size, so he might suffer if they fought.

"It's okay. In this terrifying and tense atmosphere, people can easily trigger dangerous emergency reactions, so this brother doesn't need to mind it. I didn't get hurt anyway…"

"Oh, that's good…"

The sturdy man called Brother Liu replied coldly.

"Little brother, don't mind it. Brother Liu is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He has no malicious intent…"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little bit off, the girl with the single ponytail quickly smoothed things over!

"It's fine, it's fine. This brother is a man of character…"

Shen Wei smiled on the surface, but in his heart, he was already "greeting" Brother Liu's family.

"Yeah, if I had dodged a little slower, my head would have been moved, so of course I wouldn't mind…"

"Stinky brat! Say it to my face if you have the guts. What kind of hero are you, muttering behind my back…"

Shen Wei's bizarre right hand was just afraid that the world wouldn't be in chaos, taking the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
