Chapter 274 Egg

"Okay, okay."

Hero caught the nest that Meros threw at her in a flurry of activity; she almost dropped it to the ground because it happened so suddenly.

When the tentacles of the nest gently touched her hand, a strange, indescribable feeling instantly welled up inside her.

The feeling was like countless tiny ants gently crawling on her heart, making her feel itchy, both strange and wonderful.

"Let's go, this should be their gathering point."

"Morris said solemnly, and slowly pushed open the old studio door in front of him with his right hand."

As he pushed, a chilling creaking sound echoed throughout the space.

The sound was like a curse from ancient times, sending chills down one's spine.

The door was finally fully open, and the first thing that came into view was a dark corridor.

This corridor appeared particularly eerie and terrifying, seemingly concealing countless unknown dangers and secrets.

This is the only way to the theater, but at this moment it gives people a sense of awe and fear.

Heheluo cautiously followed behind Moros and Lin Xiyue, stepping into the darkness.

Looking around, it was pitch black, except for small strips of light intermittently distributed on the floor and stairs.

However, the light emitted by these light strips was so weak and dim that it was almost negligible.

They could barely illuminate the steps and ground beneath one's feet; further up, it was endless darkness, making it impossible to see the path ahead.

Worse still, perhaps because this place is located at the boundary between the inner world and the real world, some areas don't even have such a faint light strip.

The entire environment was extremely dark, as if it were about to devour one's soul along with it.

"How strange, shouldn't we have arrived at a place full of seats by now? Why is this place so long?"

He Hailuo sensed something was wrong. She cautiously tugged at Lin Xiyue's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"This is a gap. Although it may not be as big as the real inner world, it will be a bit bigger. You see, we should be almost there."

Lin Xiyue patted He Hailuo's hand reassuringly and explained something to her.

"Oh well."

After hearing Lin Xiyue's explanation, He Hailuo felt a little relieved.

She hugged the nest that Meros had given her tightly. Although the nest was a bit strange, it gave her an endless sense of security.

"Da da da—"

A strange sound rang out.

"Is it... is it that monster?"

Lin Xiyue tugged at Molos's hand and asked him somewhat fearfully.

"Yes, but it should be a different one."

Meros answered her softly.

Now, Meros and his group have arrived at the seating area.

The room was packed with seats, and they could only walk sideways between them.

The dim lighting, coupled with their inability to see their surroundings, made Lin Xiyue and He Hailuo even more frightened.

"arrive."

Meros, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped and said something.

Immediately afterward, in that instant, Lin Xiyue and He Hailuo's gazes were drawn to a deep and mysterious blue light that suddenly shone in the palm of Molos's hand.

The light was as dazzling as a shooting star streaking across the night sky, instantly illuminating a large area around it as if it were daytime.

As the light gradually spread, the scene that had been hidden in the darkness was finally clearly revealed to everyone.

Lin Xiyue and He Hailuo were surprised to find that the floor here was covered with the same style of carpet as the corridor, which also had a slightly worn appearance.

Surprisingly, despite their age, the carpets were spotless and clean, as if they had just been meticulously cleaned.

Not only that, but there wasn't a speck of dust on it, let alone any other debris.

"How could the ground be so clean, as Meros described, a place where monsters gather?"

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but feel puzzled.

She turned to look at He Hailuo beside her and found that he also looked puzzled.

However, just as they slowly raised their heads and gradually moved their gaze upwards, a shocking scene appeared before their eyes—the chair next to them was completely covered with eggs of all sizes.

Each egg is covered with a large amount of viscous liquid, like a thick protective film tightly wrapping around them, seemingly doing its best to protect these fragile lives.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that some of the mucus has a crystal-clear texture, shining like crystal; while others are slightly turbid, giving people a mysterious feeling.

The eggs varied greatly in size, with the largest being as tall as half a person and the smallest only half the size of a fist.

What is particularly noteworthy is that the largest egg was located exactly in the closest position to Hehelo.

Driven by intense curiosity, she couldn't help but move closer to find out.

Upon closer inspection, she was surprised to find that the egg had become translucent, and through its thin shell, she could clearly see what was inside.

A miniature monster was quietly curled up, hovering in the very center of the egg.

Even more surprisingly, an extremely fine thread, like spider silk, tightly connected the monster to the bottom of the egg.

It is clear that it is drawing nutrients through this thread.

Suddenly, the egg began to tremble violently, as if a powerful force was breaking free from within.

Then, a chilling scene unfolded—the monster inside the egg slowly opened its eyes.

Those weren't just any ordinary eyes; they were countless eyes densely covering the entire head!

In that instant, all the eyes opened at the same time!

Those eyes, like gems emitting an eerie light, stared intently at Hehelo.

"Ah! What is this?!"

Heheluo was so terrified by the horrific sight before her that she involuntarily let out a shrill scream.

Her voice echoed in the silent space, like a sharp sword piercing the darkness.

It seems that it was Heheluo's scream that disturbed something that was sleeping.

In an instant, the entire space suddenly lit up as if it had been set on fire, and the intense light illuminated every corner, allowing everyone present to clearly see the true appearance of this mysterious studio.
