I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today-Chapter 187: : No Clue

They had no leads and could only continue along the street.

Afterward, they encountered the Skinning Monster a few more times. Small and annoying, their numbers gradually increased. It was still manageable when there were seven or eight of them, but when dozens rushed over together, everyone could hardly cope with them.

Not sure what else they would encounter down the road, they found a convenience store to take a temporary refuge in.

—The convenience store was also filled with chunks of flesh. The fleshy shelves lay here and there, some broken on the floor, some sticking to the walls, growing together with the fleshy walls. Warm and greasy, it gave off a nauseating smell of blood.

Interestingly though, while they were surrounded by red flesh and there weren’t any lights, their vision was somehow bright.

Chang Weicai reached out again, attempting to touch the chunks of flesh.

The walls, the floor, the doors and windows, the shelves, the cashier counter…without exception, all had turned into flesh. There was no skin, only a thin layer of meat membrane that would bleed if you barely cut into it.

“It’s different from last time…” murmured Professor Chang.

“Indeed it is.” Shen MO whispered.

The last time in the Mirror Maze, the city still retained the textures of its infrastructure. Cement was still cement, glass was still glass. The city had become a maze only through different combinations and arrangements.

But this time, the arrangement of the city’s infrastructure had not changed. The streets, the houses, everything looked the same. The only difference was the change in texture.

“If the street positions are the same as on the map, we don’t need to worry about getting lost,” Shen MO conjectured, “but where could the exit be?”

Last time they had been circling the maze in an attempt to find the exit.

But this time, the map had clearly marked every position. So where would the exit be located?

Professor Chang said, “We can’t take our time like last time, the previous maze had water, electricity, and an ample supply of food. But here…the food and water we brought can only last us two days at maximum.”

They had indeed been negligent.

With preconceived notions, they hadn’t prepared enough food and water. Primary concern had been to be unencumbered, ready to cope with danger at any time.

They hadn’t expected to be in this kind of situation.

…Of course, there was no lack of meat here.

But who would dare eat this kind of meat?

After thinking for a moment, Shen MO said, “If this maze is a creature’s body, there should be the corresponding organs. We can try to find the main organs, such as the heart, the brain. Maybe that would give us some clues.”

Naturally, this was just a hypothesis. If it was an alien creature, it might not have the normal set of organs.

Tan Xiao asked, “Which direction should we go in?”

He bent over to look at the map in Pan Xiaoxin’s hands, and then asked, “Do we head directly to the city center?”

According to conventional thinking, important things seemed to be hidden in the most central place.

Bai Youwei weakly questioned, “Isn’t this meat…it will bleed…”

Her voice was quite soft, her mouth only slightly open, as if opening it further would cause her to breathe in more of the disgusting air around them.

“…let’s try making a few more cuts. If the maze truly is a single entity, it should have a circulatory system. The speed of the blood flow differs depending on the area. The highest speed is in the aorta, and because capillaries cover a larger surface area, the speed of blood flow is the slowest there. If we want to find the heart, we first need to find the aorta.

There was a plan.

Everyone immediately started acting without any further delay.

Even though everything was made of flesh, some places had noticeable veins embedded within.

Shen MO stabbed into a prominent dark-red vein, and as he pulled the knife out, blood gushed out like water from a burst pipe.

A moment later, the flow lessened.

Shen MO touched the wound with his hand, his brows furrowing, …It’s healing..”
