Terror is resurging, but only I am.

Chapter 65 How can you not see the monster?
The original floor had about 25 rooms, but after mirroring, it became 50 rooms. Now, it has been folded and copied again to Yan Ming's location.

Theoretically speaking, this corridor should now have 100 rooms.

This is an incredibly large number; searching for them all would probably take at least half an hour.

"here it is……"

He Lian stared in surprise, unable to understand what had happened on the fourth floor. Her brows furrowed with worry as she looked anxiously down the fourth-floor corridor.

In the vast dormitory environment, amidst the absolute silence, her soft whispers seemed amplified, as if they were about to echo endlessly down the corridor.

When she stood next to Yan Ming, she suddenly turned around and found that the stairs behind her had disappeared.

After the corridor was folded in half and copied, the three of them appeared in the middle of the corridor. The original staircase was at the two ends of the corridor, which looked very close, but also seemed to be extremely far away.

The fourth floor wasn't very large, and the corridors were quite narrow, but the three of them felt that the fourth floor was incredibly "empty," making them seem as if they were all alone.

What exactly is going on on the fourth floor?
"Since Lu Mingzhe didn't go to the third floor to look for you, he probably won't go to the fifth floor first either. He's likely still on the fourth floor."

Yan Ming knew what He Lian was thinking, so he said, "It seems that the two of them are most likely lost on the fourth floor. This must be the monster's ability. It hasn't shown itself yet, so we need to be careful."

He recalled his experience on the fourth floor and confirmed that he had seen the monster's appearance when he removed the node marker on the fourth floor.

If I remember correctly, the monster on the fourth floor looked like a combination of a fly and a human, somewhat similar to the monster in the classic horror movie "The Fly," but without those disgusting chunks of rotten flesh.

Instead, it's a smoother, flatter state, like a single, unified whole.

fly……

Compound eyes?

Yan Ming immediately thought of the unique compound eyes of this insect when he saw the fly. The compound eye is composed of about three or four thousand small eyes, each of which can form an image independently.

Independent imaging...

His gaze fell on the dormitory rooms in the four directions: front, back, left, and right.

With his sharp mind, Yan Ming immediately connected this phenomenon with the current situation and discovered the similarities between them.

Could it be that each of the fly monster's tiny eyes allows it to duplicate the entire row of rooms in the corridor?
If it really had three or four thousand tiny eyes like a normal fly, wouldn't it need to be replicated three or four thousand times?

Moreover, this replication is exponential, and eventually the entire fourth floor will truly become an infinite city.

We'll probably be completely trapped here.

Yan Ming couldn't help but swallow, a strange sense of tension rising within him.

I thought the difficulty of the monsters on each floor was in reverse order of floor height, but I didn't expect the monsters on the fourth floor to be so bizarre.

No, it's not necessarily more difficult on the fourth floor. Don't instinctively worry or fear the situation on the fourth floor.

The fact that this fly-like monster didn't appear directly in the corridor and randomly grab people suggests that its abilities may need to be "maintained".

If we find the Flyman, perhaps we can force it to break free from this "Infinite City" state, and then we can leave naturally.

"Shh, let me listen to what's going on on this floor." Yan Ming told the two women beside him to hold their breath, then closed his eyes and used the hearing aids provided by the human skin suit to sense the sounds throughout the corridor.

Although the corridor was extremely quiet, if you listened carefully, you could still detect that someone was active inside.

"thump--"

"thump--"

No, it's not an activity, it's the sound of a heartbeat.

He could hear the heartbeat of a fourth person clearly in one of the rooms down the corridor.

exist……

It's in room 2415 on the right-hand side ahead.

"There's someone in room 2415 on the right. Let's go check it out."

Yan Ming pointed in that direction and said firmly.

At the same time, he used a human ear to record the sound of the heartbeat.

Judging from the frequency of the sound, this heartbeat likely originated from a human. And the sound of that heartbeat...

Yan Ming thought it could be used as "cardiopulmonary resuscitation" and that using the ability of this human ear on people who had suffered cardiac arrest might be able to bring them back from the brink of death.

The prerequisite is that this person can still "see" Yan Ming wearing human skin clothing when he is in a near-death state or before he is in a near-death state; otherwise, he has not violated any taboos and therefore cannot obtain the ability.

This line of thinking also reminded Yan Ming.

The dormitory supervisor's "echo" rule isn't just for hurting others.

It can also be used to assist teammates. For example, Zhao Yunyao's footsteps slow down, so wouldn't the footsteps of fast-running creatures mean they speed up?

Based on this concept, there are many more ways to develop it, depending on the types of sounds around us and Yan Ming's own reaction speed.

You could even say that...

The dormitory supervisor in leather has stronger support capabilities than offensive capabilities, because he cannot control enemy targets to look at him, but he can control teammates to look at him.

The snake on the third floor clearly knows the abilities of the human skin suit, and having learned its lesson once, it's highly unlikely it will come to see Yan Ming in person again.

Well, if you don't see it with your own eyes...

Yan Ming inexplicably thought of the Spying Ghost's abilities.

It seems that the attack of the Spying Ghost on those who violate taboos is exactly the opposite, right?
You must look into the ghost's eyes to prevent the ghost's hand, which comes with the ghost's eyes, from strangling you.

The rules of the human skin clothing require that the target cannot look at it, otherwise it will violate the taboo.

If we could get the Spying Ghost to absorb this rule, so that each ghost eye would be paired with a ghost ear...

Whether you look at it or not, you will be attacked.

Isn't this bad?
The thread is blocked at both ends.

Yan Ming placed greater emphasis on the function of the human skin garment, and he refocused his attention on the wooden door of dormitory room 2415 in front of him.

He glanced at He Lian and gestured for her to open the door.

It wasn't because he was cowardly and worried that some monster inside the door might suddenly attack him, but because his appearance might frighten Lu Mingzhe or the Cane King inside, causing unnecessary trouble.

"Crench."

The door opened, and the heartbeats inside seemed to pause for a moment before pounding even more violently.

Yan Ming stood to the side of the door, looking towards the upper bunk. The heartbeat he heard was coming from that direction.

Following his gaze, the pacing cane king, looking tense, was indeed crouching on the upper bunk. He tried to use the cabinet to block the view, but it was no use to Yan Ming, whose hearing was exceptional.

"Is it you?"

When the Cane King saw He Lian, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then asked in confusion, "Is that your teacher? Where is Teacher Pan? Where did he go?"

"I'm right here." Yan Ming's voice came from inside the human skin suit, which concealed him so that even familiar people couldn't recognize him.

He looked at He Lian and Zhao Yunyao beside him: "Alright, you can look at me now. He saw my appearance, and nothing happened."

Now that the Cane King has seen him, there is no change in his appearance, so it can be basically confirmed that wearing the human skin suit will not contaminate his other teammates.

The dormitory manager's ability to cause contamination may be another reason.

"Where is Lu Mingzhe?" He Lian asked anxiously, seeing that only Cane King was in the room.

Upon hearing this question, the Cane King's expression immediately changed, and he said with a hint of sadness, "He lured the monster away to save me, but when I was about to go down to find you guys to come up and help me..."

"I suddenly realized that there were two monsters on this floor."

"He seems to have been assimilated by that fly-man, and then the number of rooms in this corridor doubled."

“He was wandering around the corridor earlier, so I had to hide here temporarily, and then you guys came…”

"Didn't you see the monster?"

"How could you not have seen the monster?"
