He looked at the monsters' feet and smiled lazily: "Sorry, you stepped on my things."

After the words fell, everyone looked down and saw a small, odd-shaped device lying inside the door of the dormitory next to Big Meatball's huge sole made of meat.

——Door pusher is a device that blocks the door body after the door is closed to provide safety protection and anti-theft.

Since it has anti-theft function, why not have an alarm system?

Just when everyone's eyes were focused on it, the cold mechanical voice sounded again: [The game begins. Pray for good luck, you are a new player who is too fragile.]

The sound was dozens of times sharper than the previous one. The huge siren resounded through the empty and deserted campus, comparable to an air raid siren.

Lu Miao's mental level was too low. This sharp alarm sound was just adding fuel to the fire for his fragile spirit. Lu Miao frowned in discomfort, and some blood began to flow from his ears.

But he didn't care about his injuries. Looking at the monsters who were once again frozen in place, angry and unable to attack, the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger, until he even choked on his own blood and coughed violently.

It wasn't until this moment that the confused audience reacted and were completely in an uproar.

"When did this guy put the door opener there? Why didn't I see anything?" Yu Qian was about to cry just now, but now he was inexplicable. He followed Lu Miao and laughed from ear to ear, with a distorted expression on his face.

, "Damn, why do I feel like a monster again, being wandered by Lu Miao!"

"When else can it be? When we come in!"

Wu Haitao said next to him, and punched the ground angrily, as if he was angry because he had fallen into Lu Miao's trap again with the monster. In the end, he forgot that the floor tiles had been smashed by him, and his fist hit the tip of the gravel.

, the pain made him grin.

Zhou Dongfeng became even more silent.

Lu Miao left this worthless promotional item at the door when he entered. However, the atmosphere was too tense at that time, and the hospital gown he was wearing was already very loose. Everyone's attention was focused on the dormitory building in front of him and behind him.

It is normal for a monster that is about to catch up not to notice that Lu Miao has left something behind.

As for the alarm sound when the door jack tipped over, Lu Miao casually picked out a section from the system prompts.

He actually regrets it now, because this sentence was so sarcastic that it made people's teeth itch.

But fortunately, the result was okay.

Lu Miao's mouth, nose and ears were bleeding. His mental value had dropped to 5 points, and his health value was only 1 point. He was almost wandering on the verge of death.

His situation was so miserable, but the Moonlight Goddess opposite him only released her skills twice. Not to mention being injured, not a speck of dust fell from the surface of the Moonlight Goddess's body.

There was such a disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves that after the initial rejoicing, the audience quickly fell into a tense mood.

But as a player facing the boss at the end of the level, Lu Miao didn't have much emotion on his face.

He smiled, and couldn't wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, but he seemed to be a winner who had successfully passed the level. He didn't even look at the Moonlight Goddess standing beside him, but instead stared at the monsters at the door of the dormitory.

"I've always been wondering about the real purpose of human-skinned monsters raising human animals." Lu Miao opened and closed his lips slightly, "——Their fighting power is so powerful that they can kill all the residents of the town directly, but they chose the most time-consuming option.

The laborious method of raising and replacing them is so unreasonable.”

Lu Miao is a person who pays great attention to details, which is particularly obvious when he leaves the dormant warehouse at the stuck point every month and goes to the nurse station to pay.

Perhaps it was because he had worked as an NPC in the small town of "Ideal Town". Although the map of "Ideal Town" was small, the world view was so complete that Lu Miao also paid great attention to the details of the game.

This horror game copy derived from "Ideal Town" has a key logical flaw in the monster setting.

Motivation, purpose, and means are the three dimensions that make up the character setting. When applied to human-skinned monsters, both purposes and means are clearly reflected:

Their purpose is to replace the townspeople, integrate into the town, and develop their own tribe. The methods include feeding, raising, domesticating, and other methods.

But what is the motive of the human-skinned monster?

Lu Miao lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covering his gray-blue eyes, leaving a hazy shadow on the lying silkworm.

"I think I know now."

Lu Miao's voice became softer and softer, as if he couldn't bear the severe injury and needed to relieve the pain. His arm also slowly dropped, and the muzzle of the gun changed from pointing at the head of the big meatball to pointing at

her belly.

The hearts of the audience in front of the screen suddenly jumped up. Many people reflexively opened Lu Miao's property panel and checked it repeatedly.

No, not at this time...

Just when they thought that Lu Miao was exhausted and was about to kill himself if he could not survive the final level, Lu Miao's arm suddenly stopped.

His face was pale, and the color on his lips was gone, but the smile on the corners of his lips was still there. The hand holding the gun was steady, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Ultra-high temperature flames suddenly spurted out. At such a close distance, the big meatball got stuck in the narrow door frame of the dormitory. There was no room to dodge, and it was hit by the flames without any suspense.

"squeak--!"

The big meatball immediately screamed in pain.

The panic that had never appeared when the pickup truck exploded before was clearly reflected on her face without facial features this time.

In the struggle, the big meatball knocked the entire steel dormitory fence door askew, and the fingernails on all five fingers were exposed. However, he did not rush towards Lu Miao, but hurriedly grabbed his own belly.

Lu Miao had noticed before that the belly of the big meatball was surprisingly large, and the pieces of meat that made up the belly were thinner than anywhere else. The entire belly was like a pouch, hanging down to the ground.

When they met for the first time, the thing in the other person's stomach almost touched him through the belly.

"Originally I thought this was a common characteristic of monsters, but later it turned out that this inference was wrong. Neither 'Old Wang' nor 'Roommate', the two human-skinned monsters, have such huge pouches." Lu Miao said softly to himself.

He said, accompanied by coughing from time to time, "This is something that only fully mature monsters in human skin have. It is the real motive for you to drive them to do these things -"

Lu Miao paused for a moment when he said this, because the sharp nails of the big meatball had broken open his belly, and the contents inside rolled out, and his body was covered in blood and mucus.

She actually looks like an adult woman.

Yu Qian frowned in front of the screen. This was more than what an adult woman could summarize.

Although the thing that slipped out of the belly of the human-skinned monster was covered in transparent mucus and blood, traces of wind and frost could still be seen on the skin on the back of the hand, as well as the faint white hair in the hair.

This is a middle-aged woman.

When he saw the woman's face, Yu Qian's expression changed. Among the crowd, the pupils of the boy with cat ears opened to their maximum size and turned into a complete circle.

"Cui Yuxiang?"

"Cui Yuxiang, why is it her again?"

"Can a human-skinned monster still pass on its own human skin?"

There was a lot of rustling in the viewing area, and everyone was surprised and confused.

This time, there was no need for them to make random guesses. Lu Miao's actions quickly explained what the new humanoid creature was -

He summoned the system and scanned the other party's identity.

[NPC card refresh:

Name: Cui Yuxiang

Occupation: Landlord

Personality: Loving/virtuous/suspicious

Favorability: 60

Hidden tags: raising human animals, breeding monsters]

[The NPC cards "Lao Wang" and "Cui Yuxiang" have been unlocked, and the player "Lu Miao" has only the last special NPC card "Wang Xiaomei" left to collect the contents of the special NPC card in the copy and obtain super value rewards. 】

Lu Miao looked at the last hidden label and twitched the corners of his lips. The monster gestation here should refer to the creature that was conceived by the monster, but the exact same words on the previous NPC card meant the person who gave birth to the monster.

.

He has never seen such a deceptive system. The main mission of the previous F-level dungeon was fake. Now even the NPC card description will change according to the exploration progress.

If Lu Miao didn't know enough details to prove the reliability of his inference, he would probably collapse at this time. What is true and what is false in this copy?

Relying on his strong trust in his own abilities, Lu Miao stood firm in illusion and reality, keeping a calm mind and continued to deduce: "NPCs disappeared, monsters with human skin appeared, and new NPCs were tamed to become nourishment for human animals. Now it is

The human-skinned monster disappears, NPCs are born...there is a missing piece in the closed loop."

Lu Miao raised his eyes and breathed out fire. The gun then pointed at the people and animals outside the door.

After only holding it and using it a few times, Lu Miao's use of the fire-breathing gun had already reached a mind-numbingly precise control. As he pressed the switch again, the moment the human animal's belly was burned by the flames, his sharpness

The claw appears again.

This time, it was not a human being who took the initiative to cut open his belly.

A sharp claw suddenly came out and opened the belly of the human animal urgently. The next second, a juvenile human-skinned monster with a small head and a thick neck came out.

Compared with the full body, the human-skinned monster in its juvenile stage is not much different in appearance, except that it is smaller, faster, and more easily angered.

As soon as it got out of the human animal's belly, the little monster had already locked onto Lu Miao in front of it and bit into his neck without hesitation——

But at this moment, a sharp alarm sound like an air raid siren rang: [The game begins. Pray for good luck, new players who are too fragile.]

The human-skin monster cub that had just rushed into the air suddenly stopped. The moment it was about to fall, Lu Miao pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the baby was completely swallowed up by the ultra-high temperature flames spurted out.

[Monster card refresh:

Name: Human skin monster

Weaknesses: Fire/Luna/Noise

Attack power: 400% of the copy’s combat power]

[The monster cards "Human Sacrifice" and "Human Skin Monster" have been unlocked, and the player "Lu Miao" only has the last monster card "Moonlight Goddess" left to collect the contents of the copy of the monster card. 】

"Crack."

Not long after, something like black coal fell from the flames, hit the ground, and broke into several pieces.

On the other hand, Lu Miao only used fire breathing on the human animal behind. He burned its belly with his spear, and when the flames fell on the opponent, it quickly spread to the whole body, turning the human animal into a burning man in the blink of an eye.

The blazing flames burned for a while, and where the humans and animals originally stood, there was only a pile of unburned rags and a pool of smelly, sticky grease.

"Now it makes sense."

Lu Miao calmly watched everything that happened in front of him. The remaining flames jumped a few times in his blue-grey eyes before being completely extinguished in the grease on the floor.

The ignition point of this kind of fat is very high. Unless the whole body is heated, the heat will be quickly absorbed by the cooling fat next to it. Therefore, once a human or animal dies, their bodies will no longer continue to burn.
To be continued...
