The black fur of the giant rat is full of maggots as thick as fingers squirming, and its bones can still be seen faintly in the rotten areas.

This monster looked exactly like a rotting corpse, but it stood alive in front of me, waving its long tail and roaring.

I was horrified by its terrifying appearance, and it took me half a minute to notice that the giant rat's body seemed to be curling up bit by bit, and its back, which was originally higher than the corpse pit, became smaller bit by bit.

At the same time, there was a strange noise coming from its body. Along with the noise that seemed like bones dislocating, the giant rat raised its head, its bloody eyes widened, and its entire body trembled.

At first I thought something was wrong with this thing, but then I realized something was wrong. Its head and body were getting shorter and shorter, and it seemed to be... shrinking little by little.

Although I refused to accept such a thing, in less than a few dozen seconds, the giant rat's body shrank to one-third of its original size, and it continued to shrink.

I thought to myself, could this monster also shrink its bones?

And soon I realized that everything the giant rat was doing now might be aimed at me.

After a while, I could no longer see the giant rat's body in my field of vision. However, its claws were still firmly embedded in the floor of the corridor entrance, neither shrinking nor moving.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, but it was a kind of scary silence. I knew without thinking that nothing good would happen next.

However, I was extremely curious in my heart and wanted to see what that thing looked like when it shrank.

At this moment, someone suddenly grabbed my shoulder.

I trembled in fright and turned around to see a man with stains on his body standing next to me.

His face and clothes were covered with dust. I couldn't see clearly what he looked like, but I could still tell that he was not very old.

"Don't stand there stupidly, run away." He couldn't help but want to pull me into the corridor.

"Who are you?" When I see a stranger here, of course I will be on guard.

The man seemed anxious, "Oh, I don't have time to explain now. If I don't leave, it will be too late."

"What will happen?" I looked back again.

Suddenly, my expression froze. When I looked back, I saw a figure standing outside the corridor.

It is half taller than me, its belly is a bit bulging, its head is very huge, and its two hands are actually the two unchanged paws of the giant rat.

The claws hanging on both sides of its body were so huge that when it walked over, it could only drag them on the ground behind it.

I suddenly realized that the thing standing in front of me was the giant rat just now. But...how could it shrink itself like this? Size is one thing, the key thing is that it still looks like this

A man stood like that and walked towards us.

However, its red eyes and wagging tail behind it told me that it was the giant rat.

I wanted to move the flashlight a little further, but the person next to me held me back.

"Don't take the photo, or you might be scared to death." After he said that, he pulled me back hard.

Is that what I thought? However, I didn’t dare to meet that thing face to face, so I turned around and ran into the corridor after that person.

As soon as we moved, there were rapid footsteps from the thing behind us. I looked back and found that it had already run into the corridor, only about ten meters away from us.

"Don't look back, keep running. That thing's claws are too heavy and it can't run fast." The man in front turned around and said.

Is that so? I felt like it was about to bite me. But there was no time to talk at this time. I tensed up all the muscles in my body and ran all the way after that person.

After running for a certain distance, the straight corridor made a 90-degree turn to the left, and there was light from the fire.

I ran in and saw that there was a room with several large wooden boxes inside. There was a torch on the wall and the light was dim.

Under the brick wall opposite the place where we entered, there was a low door opening, which was square and square with smooth corners. It was deliberately built there.

But I can't figure out why there is a small door there, similar to a dog hole.

I originally thought he would lead me into the doorway, but in the end, the man asked me to turn off the flashlight and hide behind some large wooden boxes on one side.

The wooden box was quite big, but I thought it would be easy to be discovered if I hid in it, but he still dragged me down behind the wooden box.

I wanted to ask him something else, but the man made a silent gesture towards me. Then, the footsteps of chasing people came to the door of the room.

The thing seemed to stop outside the door, and I heard his heavy breathing and the sound of his claws dragging on the ground.

After a few seconds, the thing slowly walked in, and the torch on the wall immediately printed a huge black shadow.

It walked slowly in the house, like a ghost looking for any traces we might leave. The stench emanating from its body almost made me vomit. I closed my mouth tightly and tried not to make any sound.

Then, through the gap between the two wooden boxes, the thing appeared in front of my eyes bit by bit.

The giant rat's body was as full of holes as before, and its hind limbs became like the two legs of a kangaroo, supporting it to stand. After entering the room, the giant rat walked straight to the brick opposite without turning its head.

wall.

The moment it left my field of vision, I suddenly noticed that something was wrong with its face.

Because I can only look out through the gap now, it's just a fleeting feeling. However, I can at least be sure that the giant rat's face is not black now.

I turned my head in confusion and looked at the stranger.

The man shrank into a ball and stared at me with very strange eyes.

I saw something strange in his eyes. He seemed to be staring at a certain part of my body. I thought about it for a while, and then I realized that I was holding a gun in my hand. So, I quickly moved the gun to the other side.

move.

At this time, the footsteps came back again. I concentrated my attention, trying to see clearly what changes had happened on the face of the giant rat.

After waiting for a while, its figure finally appeared outside the gap again. I opened my eyes wide and looked hard at its head. I saw the face of the giant rat flashing in front of my eyes. I suddenly shook in horror and kneeled.

There was a knocking sound on the wooden box.

The man quickly came over and covered my mouth with his hand, signaling me to stop moving.

But it's too late.

The giant rat suddenly stopped and slowly turned towards the wooden box.

The man's face was very ugly, but now I was staring blankly at the giant rat's face, and my mind was completely blank.

On the head of the giant rat, there is now a human face, and... it seems to be my own face.

I am the kind of person who is quite narcissistic in private. I used to feel uncomfortable if I didn't look in the mirror when I woke up in the morning, so I know very well what I look like.

But now, seeing my own face on a monster's head, my brain couldn't help but fall into shock and confusion.

The giant rat came towards us little by little, and in the firelight, its face became clearer and clearer.

At this moment, I almost collapsed on the spot. It was as if I saw my head being cut off and then randomly placed on the neck of a monster. And before long, my own face would probably open up.

The mouth bit me to death.

When I thought of this, my whole body began to tremble. Slowly, I tightened my grip on the pistol, and suddenly made up my mind, if this thing took three steps forward, I would jump up and smash its face with the gun.

.Fuck, even if I die, I can't die with my face.

"One..." I counted in my mind, and cold sweat began to break out on my forehead.

However, just when the thing was about to take the third step, it suddenly turned towards the door, and then... it turned around and left the room.

The person opposite me and I were puzzled for a while, but we still didn't dare to move. It wasn't until the footsteps outside moved away and disappeared that we finally took a long breath.

After calming down for a while, I immediately asked the person: "Did you see its face just now?"

The man nodded, "You don't have to be afraid. The monster will turn itself into the people it sees. We were also very scared before, but as long as we know its habits, it is still easy to avoid it.

of."

"What's the name of that thing?"

"It can only see things in front of its eyes. You were standing outside just now, and its eyes were exactly at the height of your head, so you were discovered by it."

I nodded noncommittally, "Then it can't smell our scent? I heard that rats have a very powerful sense of smell."

The man looked at the door gloomily and said, "I don't know. What I mentioned was something we paid for with our lives. However, I don't feel like it is a living thing. Maybe it is just a living thing."

Where is Ming Kui?"

It's Ming Kui again... Hey, he knows about Ming Kui anyway.

I was stunned after hearing this, "You, are you from the archaeological team?"

The man nodded, "By the way, look at your equipment, you are also on the archaeological team, right? How could you come here alone?"

I shook my head and continued: "Are you one of Professor Chen's three missing students? It seems that your name is Ah Wei or something?"

The man was also shocked when he heard Professor Chen's name. "Yes, you were with Professor Chen. Where is he now?"

When I found one of the three people that Professor Chen mentioned, I felt excited and told him what happened before. Of course, I did not go into details about some things. I only told him that Professor Chen was also looking for them.

"By the way, where are the other two people?" I finally asked.

The man suddenly lowered his head and said, "Dead..."

His name was Wei Lin, and he disappeared from the main tomb together with two other people, Ah Wei and Qi Hui. He said he couldn't remember the specific process. He only knew that as soon as the three people woke up, they lay in the pit of bones outside.

.For the rest of the time, the three of them kept fighting with the giant rat outside. In the end, both Ah Wei and Wei Lin died under the claws of that thing.

I was silent for a while, and then asked him: "Then how did you survive these days? Your equipment is outside, but it doesn't look like you haven't eaten or drank."

Wei Lin pointed at the low door, "There is an underground water channel in there, and there are some fungi growing on the side. You can eat moss, eat wild fungi, and drink spring water. Hmm, you can be considered a god."

As he said that, he smiled bitterly.

I also smiled sadly, and then I took out the compressed biscuits and cans in the bag and handed them to him, and opened a bag of biscuits myself.
