“Indeed, it’s unusual,” Yan Qingwen said with a serious expression. “When it attacked Su Man, it didn’t rise up. It seemed to be able to know our location without needing eyes.”
“Considering those little eyes of it, it’s impossible for them to be giving it a 360-degree field of view,” Bai Youwei said calmly, her face remaining indifferent. “The Inspector must have missed something again.”
Shen Mo looked in the direction of the staircase.
Tan Xiao and Su Man were both severely injured, their wounds where the Nail Tooth Monster had bitten them were drenched in blood. It was a gruesome sight.
“Let’s save them first.”
Despite the one minute rampage, their injuries were serious.
The wound where the nail had punctured was bloody and mangled, even the bone inside had been pierced. Even though Shen Mo had tried to treat the wound with mud, the effect was still minimal.
Su Man’s right hand was nearly broken off, and Tan Xiao was still unconscious.
“We wouldn’t survive for 3 minutes if it rampages again.” Yan Qingwen warned.
While the Nail Tooth Monster wasn’t the biggest of its kind, its speed, strength and precision of judging the position of its targets made it far more terrifying than the previous two monsters. One minute had already resulted in two serious injuries. What would happen if it rampaged for 3 minutes?
Upstairs, teacher Cheng, Pan Xiaoxin, and Zhu Shu, there’s no use hiding no matter how hard they try;
Bai Youwei might have a rabbit, but even electric shock might not be effective;
They themselves could not think of any solutions in front of the monster, which was as hard as metal;
And about those beads, normal attacks could delay for two or three seconds, thunder effect could extend to seven to eight seconds, these were indeed useful in one minute of rampage, but what if the rampage lasts for 3 minutes? What’s the use of these few seconds gained through delaying?
Their predicament had reached a deadlock.
Unless .
The remaining nails can be found.
“Let’s keep looking,” Shen Mo said, “36 to 38 nails, that’s the minimum, it can’t be fewer than that.”
Li Li stood up, “Let’s check again to see if we’ve missed any nails. Thirty plus is not a small number, there must be some place we’ve overlooked.”
Teacher Cheng and Pan Xiaoxin both nodded.
“I’ll look in the kitchen.”
“I’ll go to the attic .”
Everyone dispersed, each going his own way to search for the nails.
Two hours later, they regrouped in the living room, each shaking their head.
Not a single nail was found.
This wasn’t surprising.
Long before they decided to allow the ‘guests’, they had already scoured this house several times. Trapped here for several days, they were all too familiar with every corner of the Dollhouse. Any nail that could be removed had been removed by them, with virtually no oversights.
Searching again, the result would naturally be the same.
Everyone sat silently in the room.
The Nail Tooth Monster was still outside.
From time to time, it would grind its teeth against the ground. The scraping sound made people irritable.
Li Li couldn’t sit still any longer. He stood up and began pacing back and forth to alleviate his restless mood.
Su Man sat on the sofa, holding her injured hand, more silent than ever.
Bai Youwei was also irritable. Her eyes flicked to the crystal ball on top of the eight-drawer cabinet, she began, “What if we ”
Before she could finish, the ball unexpectedly spoke up:
“Hey! I should remind you, attacking the Inspector is a major violation!”
Pan Xiaoxin looked at the ball, then Bai Youwei, and quietly said, “Sister Weiwei, the music box can’t be dismantled.”
Bai Youwei mused, “But it’s weird the appearance of a music box here has no use, other than reciting a nursery rhyme but there is no need for the nursery rhyme to be recited through a music box, right? The game rules could be completely announced by the Inspector. Earlier they mentioned it was for a sense of ceremony ”
She voiced her thoughts and frowned at the crystal ball.
“Was it really just for a sense of ceremony? Or perhaps it was to mislead us, to let us assume that the crystal ball and the music box are one and the same?”
