Chapter 3426: [Mimic's House]

~10 min read 1,905 words

Xia De flew in the air and carefully opened the wooden door, then saw another room next door. After considering it, he drilled through the small door. After landing, he saw that the new room was about one-third larger than the previous room, and this was not a bedroom but a reception room.

The furniture was still antiques with a sense of historical weight, and the black tea in the porcelain teacup on the coffee table was even steaming at this time.

Xia De walked to the window again and lifted the curtain. Behind it was indeed a brick wall with windows drawn in chalk. The scenery in the "window" was still blue sky, white clouds, and snow mountains, but the observation angle was slightly different from the other window in the next room.

【Look behind.】

"She" reminded him, so Xia De looked in the direction he came from, and then saw the door on the wall disappear. At this time, it was a flat wall.

Xia De had basically determined where this was, so he was not panicked, but asked:

"Is it my illusion? In the current room, the blood color in front of me seems to be deeper than the previous room."

【Not an illusion, these blood colors are the color of the space itself when the relic power corrupts the space. If you stay in this environment for a long time, the body of flesh and blood will soon melt and become part of this house. This is not a curse, but the basic characteristic of this building.】

"Then to what extent am I affected?"

Xia De asked while looking at the room, "She" laughed softly:

【No effect at all.】

This house itself might be alive, this was Xia De's first impression of the 【Mimic's House】.

Last night's notebook clearly wrote down some situations and characteristics of this Sage-level relic, such as "blood red appears in front of eyes", "most furniture is red", "Whispering Elements are not very strong in rooms without flesh and blood", "there are no windows that can be easily found", etc., which are quite similar to where Xia De is at this time.

This time he didn't go to find the "secret passage", but came to the door, turned the doorknob, and went out directly.

Outside the door was a hallway covered with a red carpet, but the edges of the carpet revealed thread ends that were not cut very neatly, and if you looked closely, those thread ends were slowly wriggling.

The walls were covered with dark red wallpaper. The room was located at the end of this very short hallway. On the left and right sides of the door Xia De opened were doors, and in front of the hallway was a crossroads.

The hallway was shrouded in thick blood mist, and the liquid in the air was almost about to condense into blood drops; the hallway on the right looked normal, with red oak doors on both sides of the hallway.

As for the front, there were no doors on both sides of the fifty-meter-long hallway, and at the end of the hallway was a bend that could only turn to the right. When Xia De looked there, the sound of tides came from inside the quiet building. Lady Sanmei seconds later, monstrous blood water gushed out from the bend at the end of the hallway, and then rushed toward Xia De rapidly.

Those red blood waters gave Xia De a very dangerous feeling, and his body was instinctively resisting contact with those liquids. Xia De believed his instinct, so he walked toward the hallway on the right.

His eyes swept over the rooms without nameplates, and then opened the first one and walked in.

This looked like an apartment, and there were people in the apartment. When Xia De stood against the door, in the dark red room, the middle-aged man with sheep horns on his head and sheep hooves on his feet was scolding the two children kneeling in front of him loudly:

"I let you go to school, not let you be naughty! Tell me, who came up with the idea of putting a water basin on the classroom door!"

And the boy with a single horn and the boy with eyes and nose swapped were trembling, but neither answered. So the stick in the man's hand slammed down, and the single-horned "boy" died immediately, and his head exploded like a watermelon.

The red metal long stick pointed at the second boy again, and it trembled and said:

"It was brother's idea, it was all his idea!"

"You learned to lie at such a young age!"

It smashed the second "boy" to death with another stick, and then pointed the stick that was still dripping blood at Xia De aggressively:

"Tell me, was it your idea?"

Xia De frowned and said:

"You want to practice acting, there's no need to make this place so bloody, right?"

But the man didn't pay attention to Xia De at all. He raised the stick with both hands and rushed toward Xia De. Xia De slashed a silver moonlight and cut the man in half, but his upper body still wanted to wriggle toward Xia De, but was finally burned into ashes by the fire.

The small apartment had only a bedroom and a balcony besides the living room. The gas lamp was lit with blood-red light, and clothes were hung on the balcony. Of course, the wall of the open balcony also painted snow mountain scenery, making it look like it was directly connected to the outdoors.

This kind of small apartment usually shares a bathroom and kitchen with several households, which is very common in the lower city of any city.

And after Xia De checked carefully, he found a secret door in the wardrobe again. After passing through the secret door, he came to the wardrobe of another room. This time, after pushing the wardrobe door open, he saw a bedroom where flesh and blood were integrated with the wall.

"Am I moving toward the deeper part of the 【Mimic's House】?"

The dark red muscles basically maintained smoothness, and the transition with the red wall was quite natural. The ratio of those muscles to the wall area was about 1:2, and the muscles even twitched intermittently, looking like they were still alive.

The blood color became more intense in this bedroom, and the choking smell of blood made Xia De feel very uncomfortable.

This bedroom was quite large, and the four-poster bed large enough for five or six people was placed in the center of the room. And in the thin red gauze, a female voice asked with a smile:

"Do you want to play together?"

Xia De, who had been expressionless since just now, finally showed a vigilant expression at this moment. Although he couldn't see the other party's face clearly, the other party was undoubtedly a fourth-stage mimic, and much more powerful than the fourth-stage mimics he had encountered.

Even outside the 【Mimic's House】, he would have to be cautious when encountering an enemy of this strength, not to mention that this was the other party's home field.

In this way, even for a fourth-stage mimic, the gap in main body power is quite large.

"Madam, I think it's unnecessary."

He replied:

"Thank you very much for inviting me to be a guest, but I want to go home now."

The woman behind the red gauze laughed:

"Handsome young man, it wasn't me who invited you to be a guest, but since you look so beautiful, I can offer you an opportunity. Stay and accompany me, I will let you enjoy the joy, and I won't change you. You can spend a long happy time here with me. Your essence will become the base for breeding the next generation of mimics, and I am willing to share this honor with you."

"Sorry, I want to go home now."

"What a heartless person, are all you humans like this?"

This is the first mimic to say "you humans".

"However, you want to leave, I won't stop you. Go, there are three passages here, the door is one, the bathtub in the bathroom will appear one after it is filled with water, and there is one in the cabinet at the bottom right of the desk over there."

She paused slightly and said with deep meaning:

"You have to choose carefully. After all, different doors correspond to different endings."

"Thanks for the reminder."

Xia De said very politely, glanced at the room, didn't look for whether there might be a fourth door, and bent down to open the cabinet at the bottom right of the desk. After looking inside, he found that he couldn't see the end at all.

It's just that the cabinet was too small, and Xia De probably had to crawl in on his stomach. So the silver cat jumped out of the moonlight and drilled into the cabinet neatly.

The cabinet seemed to hide a very long passage. Xia De cat felt that he walked for a full five minutes before seeing blood color appear in front again.

After the cat rushed out of the passage, it neatly jumped on the spot and restored to Xia De's appearance, but there was no enemy waiting for Xia De around, and the type of this room was far beyond Xia De's expectations:

"Private chapel?"

The blood-red room was solemn and solemn, rows of long chairs were placed in the center of the room, and the stained glass windows composed of various red color numbers looked sacred and weird, with the scene of sharing the Eucharist on it. Kneeling stools were placed next to the seats, and lockable niches were placed in the four corners of the wall. Xia De climbed out of one of the niches.

The altar was made of solid mahogany and stone, covered with exquisite embroidered altar cloth. Even the chapel of a big noble manor in Tobesk would probably only use this specification of altar.

The red candles burning on the altar emitted a strange fragrance that made people want to fall asleep. The chalice and paten had been taken out of the sacred vessel cabinet and were placed on the side of the altar at this time. Except for the wall with the door, a sacred altar

"Pseudo-humans can still worship gods? Are they not afraid of being struck dead by lightning thrown by the gods?"

Xia De checked the three holy emblems one by one; all three were made of red metal and belonged to the Old Gods 【Lord of the Blood Feast】, 【Mother of Corrupted Fetuses】, and 【Lord of Cystic Plague】, respectively.

The common characteristic of these three Old Gods is that they are all evil gods, and their believers belong to the category of "heretical" even among cultists.

There is no need to elaborate on the "old acquaintance" 【Lord of the Blood Feast】; the believers of this god are truly "eating people," and the believers even take pride in being consumed by the god. The believers of 【Mother of Corrupted Fetuses】 regard aborted children and children who died in their mothers' wombs as sacred objects. If an abnormal number of women suffering from miscarriages suddenly appears in an area, one must consider whether those heretical cultists have begun to operate in this region.
