Chapter 39 Horrifying Wax Figures!
Eerie music lingered in my ears.
The man stared blankly at the girl walking towards him, even forgetting for a moment that he was still in danger.
The girl had long hair that reached her back, and delicate features. Even in the dim environment, the man could still see her beautiful, fair skin.
Why didn't you hide?
The girl spoke, clearly lowering her voice.
The man seemed not to have grasped the situation, and asked blankly, "Why would I hide?"
Upon hearing this, the girl frowned and her gaze towards him became strange.
"Aren't you afraid that thing will come back? Or that I might be an imposter?"
"To see such a beautiful young lady in such a strange place, even if you were prepared to rip my heart out, I would still be willing to do it," the man murmured to himself.
Seeing the man's lecherous expression, Tang Cao rolled her eyes speechlessly.
They thought they had stumbled into this place by accident, but they never expected that there were other humans inside.
This is troublesome.
"Miss, you can just call me Da Xin. What's your name?" the man asked tentatively.
Da Xin?
Upon hearing this familiar name, Tang Cao was slightly taken aback.
Just a change in expression was enough to make the man opposite him grin foolishly again.
However, Tang Cao had no time to pay attention to this guy right now; she just quickly asked in a low voice.
"Are you Da Xin? The Da Xin who enjoys delicious food with Da Xin?"
"You've seen my videos?"
Da Xin was pleasantly surprised; he hadn't expected that there would be such a beautiful person among his audience.
"You've been missing for over half a month, do you know that? It's all over the place now, and many fans are even planning to call the police to look for you," Tang Cao said, frowning.
But upon hearing this, Da Xin's face showed a hint of confusion.
"More than half a month?"
He muttered something to himself, and Da Xin couldn't help but continue.
"That can't be right, I just got here last night."
The calm tone of the words, though spoken in a casual tone, stirred up a ripple in Tang Cao's heart.
I only arrived here last night, how could this be?
The news of Da Xin's disappearance had already reached their school several days prior. If he really only appeared here last night, why didn't he show up before?
Furthermore, seeing that Da Xin's expression didn't seem like he was lying, Tang Cao felt that she had encountered a very tricky situation.
The surrounding temperature dropped further, and in the empty hall, in the darkness, one could almost feel pairs of blood-red pupils spying on them.
Perhaps Tangcao's beauty dispelled the fear of the eerie environment, Da Xin asked softly.
"Miss, you still haven't told me your name."
Tang Cao didn't answer the question. She simply glanced around cautiously, afraid the unknown monster would reappear, before finally asking, "How did you get here?"
"Me?" Da Xin thought for a moment and replied. "I forgot too. I only remember seeing a new restaurant open on Da Mao Street, so I wanted to come in and film a video."
At this point, Da Xin suddenly felt a chill.
"Did the people in this restaurant drug me?"
Tang Cao frowned again.
"Is that all you remember?"
"Yeah, that's right." Da Xin shrugged.
Tang Cao is now certain that the other party's memory is obviously faulty; he has been missing for so long, yet he only has such a short memory.
If it's not a problem with memory, then the only possibility is that there's a problem in this area.
Thinking of this, Tang Cao reached out and pulled him out from under the table.
"Stay with me and don't do anything rash. I'll find a way to get you out of here."
"You've come to see me?" Da Xin scrambled to his feet, looking around in fear.
"I guess so." Tang Cao didn't explain further; she simply waved to Da Xin. "Stay close to me, and keep your movements quiet, don't let that thing spot you."
"That thing? What is that thing?" Da Xin asked as he slowly moved his feet, tiptoeing after Tang Cao as they walked in another direction from the hall.
Tangcao didn't know how to explain, and she knew very well that the secret of magical girls must never be exposed, so she simply shut up and walked ahead.
In the center of the hall, where the restaurant entrance should have been, a dark corridor now stretched out.
Despite being nervous about the completely illogical architectural style, Tang Cao mustered her courage and walked towards Da Xin.
A cold wind swept across the carpet, and the decreasing temperature gradually formed a layer of condensation on the window. Just as the two entered the corridor one after the other, neither of them noticed that a blurry handprint appeared on the window.
The atmosphere gradually became eerie. Da Xin seemed to be frightened by the surrounding environment, not daring to breathe loudly, shrinking back and silently following behind Tang Cao.
Just then, Tangcao suddenly stopped.
Luckily, Da Xin reacted quickly, otherwise he would have almost crashed into it.
"Wh-what's wrong?" Da Xin, pale-faced, poked his head out and looked from behind Tang Cao.
The latest novel is first published here!
But after just one glance, a bone-chilling cold rushed from the soles of my feet to my brain.
In the corridor ahead, there was a person standing, who looked like a waiter, carrying an exquisite plate.
On the plate was a smiling human head.
Da Xin opened his mouth wide, instinctively wanting to scream, but extreme fear caused him to fall into a brief state of muteness; he kept his mouth open for a long time without making a sound.
At this moment, Tang Cao, noticing his reaction, quickly whispered.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a wax figure."
Da Xin felt as if he had lost consciousness, and it took him a long time to recover from that state.
His legs went weak and his somewhat chubby face began to tremble, but looking at Tang Cao, he forced himself to calm down.
"I already spotted the wax figure, haha."
Although she was mentally prepared, Tang Cao had to admit that she was indeed startled when she first saw the thing.
After standing there for a while, seeing that the other party did not react and had no signs of life, Tang Cao took a step and walked towards the thing.
It was indeed a wax figure of a waiter, dressed in a neat uniform with a black bow tie at the collar.
His skin was sculpted so realistically that even the texture of his skin was meticulously depicted.
The waiter's eyes were fixed straight ahead, his gaze vacant.
The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he were smiling to greet the guests, but the smile appeared extremely stiff and strange.
What he was holding aloft was a plate containing human heads. Tang Cao looked up and initially thought it was a turkey.
Seeing that Tang Cao was not only not afraid, but even took the initiative to approach her, Da Xin was on the verge of a breakdown.
However, he also understood that as a man, how could he show more fear than a girl? So after hesitating for a long time, he still took a difficult step.
"Well, let's hurry up and leave, this place is too strange."
At first I thought this was a restaurant, who would have thought it would be such a scary wax museum inside.
Tang Cao nodded slightly upon hearing this. Although she didn't know exactly where she was, the most urgent thing right now was to find a way out as soon as possible.
Seeing Tang Cao continue forward, Da Xin breathed a sigh of relief. He was genuinely worried that this young lady might want to stay and study for a while.
Whether it was a misperception or not, as he passed the wax figure waiter, Da Xin suddenly felt that the other person's eyes moved slightly.
Da Xin didn't dare to look at the waiter's face much. He didn't even remember what the waiter had been looking at before, and he only glanced at him out of the corner of his eye when he passed by.
Subconsciously following the waiter's gaze, Da Xin froze on the spot.
A private room had appeared on the side of the corridor, its door slightly ajar.
Peering through the crack, one could see a large group of people with various expressions sitting around a big table, looking like a family having a meal together.
But what's terrifying is that their heads are all twisted at bizarre angles, with hollow eyes extending straight out from the crack in the door.
Even those who had their backs to him felt their heads turned 180 degrees to stare at him!
