Book 3: Chapter 64

I had no way to hide, so I reflexively stretched out my hand to push it away. But that black face evaded my hand and met me face to face. That actionno creature except a snake could do it.

I noticed that this black thing had a very long neck, which was very similar to a snake.

But not only its neck, its hands and feet were very long, too. The proportions of this things limbs were extremely deformed.

Moreover, the black color on its body wasnt from paint but appeared to be the natural color of its skin.

It had a human face, but it wasnt very normal since it was a bit too small and narrow. From the front, it looked like it probably had a small brain capacity since there wasnt a forehead above its eyebrows.

I looked at it and it looked at me, the distance so close that I could see that its eyes were asymmetrical.

My knife was stuck in my belt at my lower back. This place was too narrow, so before I initially crawled in, I calculated whether I could pull it out as quickly as possible. I had determined that it would be fine for either the front or the back, but I just didn't expect to find myself in this position. The opponent came at me too fast, so I really couldn't pull it out.

The only thing I could do now was to grip the opponents neck with one hand, but if I did that, Id have to drop my flashlight. It was very difficult to strangle a person with one hand, so it would be better to hold onto my flashlight and use it as a hammer.

But that thing didn't attack me and just continued to look at me like this.

Then, as if it had melted, it squeezed directly into the gap between the outer coffins timber on the side and disappeared.

I sat there completely stupefied for a moment, but after thinking about it, I took my flashlight and looked into the gap. Fuck, this thing doesn't follow the rules at all!If its in the gap like this, then it must not have a single bone in its whole body!

When I looked into the gap, I found that the things head was stretched into a slender strip and only one eye could face the outside. This eye was still looking at me from inside the gap.

According to physics, this things brain must be in the shape of a cucumber right now.

I finally pulled my knife out, but slowly pointed my flashlight at another gap on a whim.

After a quick glance, I felt all my hair stand on end.

In this other gap, there was also a "person" who had their whole body squeezed into the gap, just like a rag. When I saw it, it rolled its eye at me.

I continued to look around, feeling cold all over as I realized that all of the gaps in this outer coffins wooden structure were crowded with black people. These gaps were only about as thick as a palm, but these people were curled up inside of them. And every single one of them had an eye squeezed out from the gap, looking right at me.

I'll say it again:
