Lin Xun stood at the entrance of Summer Lotus, cradling a Black Dog in his arms.
The dog let out a gentle yawn, licked its paws, and squinted its eyes, appearing somewhat bored.
He pushed open the door, ready to step inside.
Just then, Xu Jingyu spoke up, "Are you sure we can fool Summer Lotus?"
"The dog is your creation. If you don't have confidence in yourself, how can we be confident?"
Indeed, the dog in his arms was actually transformed from a Black Cat!
Xu Jingyu possessed the highest skill of an artist, No Painting of the Painting.
She had seen the skin and flesh of the black dog in the cabinet, so she could roughly depict what a black dog looked like.
But the question was, what could they use to cover with the skin of a black dog?
The answer was a cat.
The cat that Zhan Lang found was larger than an average cat.
Meanwhile, Summer Lotus's dog was smaller than most dogs.
The two animals were similar in size; if they put the dog's skin on the cat, wouldn't it result in a cat that looked like a dog?
Lin Xun was responsible for providing ideas.
The specific execution was left to Xu Jingyu.
Once Xu Jingyu finished her "painting," a living black dog appeared before everyone.
Thus, they all carried this "dog" to the entrance of Summer Lotus.
Lin Xun removed the bell from around the "dog's" neck and tucked it into his pocket.
Then he opened the door to Summer Lotus.
The four of them stepped inside together.
The room was filled with the stench of decay.
On the once-bloody meat tower, maggots had emerged, and white eggs dotted the rotting flesh, signaling deterioration and rot.
Everyone covered their noses.
Floral Salt instinctively bought two nose plugs.
He and Lin Xun each took one.
Beneath their feet lay a viscous dark red blood.
The blood no longer flowed; it had turned into a gelatinous, muddy state...
Each step felt like an exhausting effort.
Xu Jingyu felt nauseous but glanced at Zhan Lang beside her.
To her surprise, he appeared unfazed.
She could only steady her mind and suppress the urge to vomit.
"You've come!"
Suddenly, a single eyeball rolled like a marble into Lin Xun's hand.
A pale, bloodless hand, rotting to the point of revealing bone, suddenly grabbed the eyeball!
The owner of the eyeball placed it back into her eye socket, which had decayed beyond recognition.
At that moment, Summer Lotus resembled a corpse exhumed seven days after burial.
Her entire body was covered in blackened flesh, and countless viscous semi-solid fluids seeped from her form...
Her face was hardly recognizable as a face anymore.
The face was sunken, decayed, and covered in maggots and flies.
As soon as it spoke, teeth and larvae fell from its mouth...
"Ah! You found my cat!" Summer Lotus immediately snatched the pet from Lin Xun's hands.
Before Lin Xun could react, the cat was already cradled in Summer Lotus's arms.
The cat clearly resisted her embrace, struggling to break free.
Lin Xun and the others felt a surge of anxiety.
"Why does it seem like it doesn't recognize me anymore?"
Summer Lotus tilted her head and said softly.
As she spoke, her teeth, maggots, and even her eyes fell away.
The dark hollow of her face scanned the four before her, and her voice was chilling, as if echoing across a frigid winter landscape...
Among the four, Xu Jingyu was the most tense.
Xu Jingyu's face turned pale, his teeth chattered, and even his fingertips trembled.
A cold sweat trickled down Hua Tian's face.
She tugged at Lin Xun's sleeve and whispered, "What should we do?"
Lin Xun stepped forward calmly and asked Summer Lotus, "Are you someone who doesn't keep your word? You clearly said that as long as we found your dog, our task would be complete. Now that we've found the dog, you suddenly claim it's not yours. Isn't this just playing with us?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned even paler, wishing they could cover Lin Xun's mouth.
"Do you think I'm deliberately making things difficult for you?" Summer Lotus said softly.
"Then tell me, what's wrong with this dog?" Lin Xun asked nonchalantly.
Summer Lotus pondered for a moment. "It just feels wrong!"
Lin Xun paced in the room, frustration bubbling within him.
"Damn it, as an editor, I have to hear the director and producer say it feels off, and now they want a rewrite of the plot."
Now that he was playing a horror game, it seemed like the same old routine.
Who the hell knows what you guys feel?!
"I write a script, play a game, and do I need to devolve into a parasite that burrows into your brains to read your thoughts?"
"Can you specify the details?" he asked, trying to maintain his composure.
"This dog looks just like mine—its color, size, fur... everything is just like my dog..."
"Then isn't this dog your dog?" Lin Xun replied, his patience wearing thin.
Summer Lotus shook her head.
With a sickening crack, her neck snapped, half of her head hanging limply, revealing a grotesque mix of red and white that made one want to retch.
Xu Jingyu's teeth chattered, the sound echoing eerily in the silence.
How could he remain so calm?
Xu Jingyu wondered in disbelief.
What on earth is this Lin Xun? Why isn’t he afraid of ghosts?!
"Something feels off!" Summer Lotus suddenly exclaimed.
As she spoke, a chilling wind swept through the room, sharp as frostbite.
The air was thick with the stench of rotting flesh and the scent of death, sending shivers down their spines.
The wind seemed to possess a penetrating quality, its chilling sensation piercing through the skin, cutting into flesh, and striking deep within!
At that moment, even Lin Xun felt a hint of something unusual.
Suddenly, the dog that had been nestled in Summer Lotus's arms struggled and jumped down.
Then, it turned to Summer Lotus and let out a sudden cry: "Meow."
In that instant, the surroundings fell silent.
No one spoke.
Even the eerie wind that had been blowing around them vanished in an instant.
"Hahaha, the player is finally going to die!"
"Shape-shifting is one thing, but how can a cat change its call? A cat is still a cat; can it really bark like a dog?"
"My Hua Tian wife, don’t die! 555555!"
"Safe travels, player. I'll play a tune of 'Grand Funeral' for you! Let the music play on! Let the dance continue!"
"Death Notice grants ‘Half Bloom of the Other Shore Flower’*1."
At this moment, Lin Xun was drenched in cold sweat.
His move was indeed a risky gamble.
Xia He's Dog had been killed for some unknown reason, its skin and flesh stripped away.
Since they had accepted Summer Lotus's task, they had to succeed.
Otherwise, they would die!
He did this not just to help Zhan Lang but also to save himself.
But now, all his plans and strategies were thrown into chaos by that single meow.
Countless calculations had been made, yet the meow was beyond reckoning.
A thousand-mile dike could be destroyed by a single meow.
All efforts were in vain, a single meow could unravel it all.
How infuriating!
He had never imagined that his cause of death would be due to a cat's meow!
However, he did not blame the cat.
Cats were so adorable! The cat was innocent!
Summer Lotus looked on in disbelief as she suddenly picked up the black dog from the ground, examining it closely.
At that moment, a sound echoed in everyone's ears.
