Chapter 327 - 120 [The Monster in Human Skin] (7800 words)_5
Ouyang’s expression changed immediately, and he quickly shook his head, saying, "No, no! My Primordial Yang is still intact; I can’t do this kind of thing!"
Chu Keqing glared at Ouyang, thinking... What does it matter to me whether you can or can’t? Even if you could, do you think I would agree?
Hmph!
Hmm... If it were Senior Chen Yan instead, it might not be...
Chen Yan took a deep breath: "Alright, lastly, let me talk about my room. My room... the difficulty is up to you to judge, but the rules are actually very simple: a monster immune to spell attacks that can only be defeated by physical force."
Upon hearing it was a room that involved physical combat, Kudai’s eyes lit up for a moment, but then he frowned. He was already severely injured at this point, his combat prowess clearly not at its peak.
But the girl with long black hair and straight bangs immediately said, "Sir, I’m also willing to exchange with you! I have quite a bit of confidence in pure physical combat!"
"Then make your decision quickly!" Chen Yan looked at Ouyang and Chu Keqing; "Have you decided on the room with the doppelgänger and shapeshifting monster?"
Ouyang nodded: "I lean towards the room with the cloning and transforming monster."
Chen Yan looked at Kudai.
Kudai finally nodded: "Alright, I’m willing to exchange, I’ll go to the room with illusion attacks."
"Good! Then the exchange is settled." Chen Yan looked at the girl with long black hair: "It seems I can only exchange with you."
In fact, Chen Yan could choose not to exchange and opt for the room where the guests had died.
But currently, the three dead guests—a room with a big-headed doll, two guests’ bodies completely disintegrated, leaving only a pool of pus; the black-clad tall-hat died without any apparent wounds, suggesting the room’s monster might have both mental and physical attack capabilities.
As for the armored warrior, he was tricked into opening the door by the zombie monster outside and then died—what the monster in his room was remained unknown!
No clues at all! Choosing those rooms would actually entail greater risks!
Ouyang, Chu Keqing exchanged with Kudai!
Chen Yan exchanged with the girl with long black hair!
After the room allocations were done, the pause time was almost up, and everyone returned to their new rooms, locking the doors.
Soon, the voice of the Puppet Servant made an announcement: The pause time has ended, and the safe zone is closed!

Chen Yan returned to his room, still recalling the words of the girl with long black hair.
Could it be... there was only one monster in the hallway? The zombie monster that he had killed, allowing the girl with long black hair to survive?
If that’s the case...
Shouldn’t I have nothing to fear? Just brazenly walk into the hallway?
Hmm, there wouldn’t only be that one zombie monster in the area outside this room, would there?
Very likely... after all, this isn’t an online game where monsters respawn automatically after being killed...
But just as this thought crossed Chen Yan’s mind, suddenly, there was a knock at the door!
Knock knock knock.
The knocking wasn’t loud, it sounded almost polite.
Chen Yan was startled and quickly walked to the door, looking out through the peephole!
He saw a woman’s figure standing in the hallway outside the door!
A beautiful face, wearing a clean Japanese kimono, her hands folded in front of her belly, slightly bowing to him through the door.
Then she spoke, her voice gentle, even with a hint of saucy delicacy, surprisingly speaking in Dragon Country Language.
"Dear guest inside, I apologize for disturbing you! If you’re planning to come out, please do let me know. I’ll be right here, waiting to collect your esteemed head! Thank you~"
As she said this, she covered her mouth and laughed lightly.
Chen Yan’s expression turned grim!
Because he recognized the girl’s face!
The girl at the door, no, to be precise, the monster.
Her face was actually... the same as the one he saw last night in the Mirror World, in that basement-like slaughterhouse, the girl who had already turned into a corpse!!
Now it seemed... her skin had been peeled off and draped over this monster!
