Today's test was another major failure.

Even though it was just a baseless suspicion, You Yonghuai still felt a certain apprehension towards the specimen.

Especially when he already has this idea, but still instinctively doesn't want it to leave him.

Something is wrong!

You Yonghuai looked up at the eight-legged man in front of him, puzzled as to what the other party was trying to express.

But as a token of gratitude, he still ordered a bottle of windshield washer fluid on the food delivery platform.

It's only five yuan anyway, so it doesn't matter if the other party doesn't like it.

Compared to the basically harmless eight-legged man, You Yonghuai was more concerned about the specimen that he hadn't paid much attention to before.

He had checked the message slip and only knew that the sender was in the East District of Jiangcheng, the same city as him, but he knew nothing else.

The flower in the specimen was also strange; no matter how much You Yonghuai searched, he couldn't find any relevant information, as if it didn't belong to this world at all.

You Yonghuai wanted to find the sender and determine whether the pair of ten dice was related to the other party, but he was completely clueless and had no idea where to start.

Before he knew it, half an hour had passed, and You Yonghuai's phone rang:

"Ring ring—"

"Hello, the delivery is at your door."

The windshield washer fluid has arrived.

During those half hour, You Yonghuai thought the eight-legged man would do something, but the other party just watched You Yonghuai obediently like a large puppy.

Although it's still easy to lose SAN when looking directly at it, You Yonghuai is no longer so afraid.

Once you get used to it, it's kind of cute.

As You Yonghuai approached the door and was about to open it, the pair of ten-sided dice reappeared and began to shake incessantly.

Another inspection is required... You Yonghuai was taken aback, about to complain, when he was startled by the words in front of him:

[Crisis Check: A value greater than 88 indicates a successful check]

Test result: 37

[Detection failed! It doesn't look like a delivery driver outside?]

Although the ten-sided dice are a rip-off, he hasn't made a mistake yet. You Yonghuai frowned, his hand, which was about to open the door, froze in mid-air.

Looking through the peephole, the familiar corridor was deserted, except for a plastic bag in front of my door, with half of the glass cleaner bottle sticking out.

For the time being, there seemed to be no problem, but the ten-sided dice reminded You Yonghuai of something, and he observed it more carefully for a while.

Fortunately, the stairwell corner not far away was cluttered with debris, allowing You Yonghuai to barely see what was happening inside the stairwell with the help of a small mirror.

A guy in a yellow windbreaker leaned against the wall, seemingly keeping a close eye on You Yonghuai's house.

"Oh no..." You Yonghuai's lips twitched, instinctively sensing danger from that deliveryman's... or at least what appeared to be a deliveryman's item.

He didn't think there was any reason why his enemy would come offline to kill him, so he deduced that there were only two reasons why he was being targeted.

One is the eight-legged person referred to as "Subject 8" by the ten-sided dice. This name sounds like that of a lab rat, so it's estimated that it escaped from some experimental institution.

Secondly, there's my own specimen.

If the eight-legged man could notice this specimen, there's no reason why other strange things couldn't. You Yonghuai even suspected that the inexplicable social skills test in the hospital was inextricably linked to this specimen.

After all, this thing seems quite special.

As for the possibility that he came for his ten-sided dice...

Ha, if someone were really willing to take away these two things that had caused him a week of trouble, You Yonghuai would welcome them with open arms and feet.

After making a joke amidst the hardship, You Yonghuai observed the "deliveryman" at the stairwell again. It was clear that the man had no intention of leaving anytime soon.

But if he doesn't open the door to pick up the takeout, You Yonghuai is afraid that the other party will become suspicious.

He didn't know what the definition of crisis was for the ten-sided dice, nor did he dare to take the risk.

Looking back at the eight-legged man, You Yonghuai could only hope that the other party could help.

This is windshield washer fluid I bought for you!

You Yonghuai thought to himself half-jokingly, then steeled his heart and opened the door.

He only opened a small crack to lure the "deliveryman" at the stairwell into making a move.

As soon as he comes out, I immediately close the door!

"Squeak—"

As soon as the door was pushed open, the "deliveryman" rushed out like lightning, reaching the door at a speed that was beyond the reach of ordinary people!

"Snapped!"

Before You Yonghuai could close the door, the "deliveryman's" hand had already gripped the door frame.

His hand was deformed from being caught in the door, but the other person didn't make a sound.

"Sir, don't be in such a hurry to close the door, how about giving me a good review?" A strange, hoarse voice came from outside the door.

You Yonghuai got goosebumps. While struggling with the "deliveryman," he quickly dialed the phone:

"Police? This is apartment 503, Building 7, Chenxi Apartment, Jiangcheng Street. Someone is trying to break into a private residence!"

He spoke rapidly and clearly, finishing his speech before the "deliveryman" could react.

He then did not hang up the phone, but instead tossed it onto the shoe cabinet next to him.

"?" The deliveryman was taken aback for a moment, then cursed in a low voice, "Damn it."

Why does this guy need to call the police just to open the door and get his takeout?

Immediately, he began to pound on the door, and his hand, which was caught in the door crack, began to twitch wildly, turning into a cloud of black mist that was both real and illusory.

Before the ten-sided dice could even undergo a strength check, the door that Yu Yonghuai was desperately trying to hold back was forcefully torn down.

The entire door was carelessly tossed behind him like a piece of paper, finally revealing the true face of the "deliveryman" to You Yonghuai:

A狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious) face, scarlet eyes, and dry skin beneath that seemed to be flowing with something...

This is a real monster!

"Clatter!"

A pair of gold-rimmed glasses slipped off the "deliveryman's" nose. It hissed and reached out to grab You Yonghuai.

"roar!"

The moment the eight-legged man saw the black mist, he let out an angry roar, as if he had seen his mortal enemy.

Its arm instantly extended, pulling You Yonghuai back and protecting him behind it.

【SAN value -5】

Just as You Yonghuai was feeling deeply moved, the ten-sided dice popped up at an inopportune moment, making their presence known.

There was nothing I could do; I accidentally glanced at her when I was pulled back.

"Subject number 8? I didn't expect to see you here." The deliveryman's tone was filled with surprise. "Perfect timing, you've been out for too long, it's time to come back."

"Roar!" The eight-legged man roared back, blocking You Yonghuai's path, its two front legs stepping on the "deliveryman's" shoulders, and its hands launching a frenzied attack.

However, with each punch, black mist emanated from the "deliveryman's" body, as if he were completely unaffected.

Seeing that his attacks were ineffective, the eight-legged man stopped punching and instead used his eight legs to stomp on his opponent's body.

Fortunately, Jiangcheng has many police stations, and their response time is fast. Furthermore, You Yonghuai's apartment is right next to a police station.

"Da da da..."

Neat, synchronized footsteps echoed quickly in the stairwell, and soon a reassuring figure appeared outside the door: "Police! Don't move, hands up!"
