Chapter 334 - 122 [The Final Trial!] (7200 words)_2
Chen Yan forcibly suppressed the urge to vomit!
Just as he turned his head and wanted to throw up, his face suddenly changed!
He saw a pile of things placed in the corner!
Damaged, messy, just piled up in the corner like that!
That is...
A set of Warrior Armor!
Of course, Chen Yan recognized this armor!
Especially the helmet on top of the pile... the horned helmet that was so damaged that only half of it remained!
He instantly forgot about vomiting and turned back, noticing those corpses on the large table in the middle...
I don’t know... which corpse belonged to the Warrior Armored Guest?
He should be lying on the table now, among these corpses!
At home, those extracted innards were gathered and put into huge basins, then a few puppets lined up, carrying the basins filled with innards, walking towards the back of the room...
·
At the far end of the slaughterhouse room, there was a large door—Chen Yan remembered there wasn’t such a door in the Mirror World!!
But now, the huge archway on the wall was connected—the door panel was even missing.
One by one, the puppets carried the iron basins filled with innards, quietly and orderly heading inside.
Chen Yan followed them.
He remembered the puppet servant telling him: Just keep going inside!
·
After passing through the archway, the air inside suddenly turned cold—the slaughterhouse room was stifling due to the presence of a furnace.
But behind the archway, there was a gloomy corridor, and the stones on the floor had a layer of slippery moss on them.
However, this moss didn’t seem to be green, but rather a creepy pink.
The corridor was long and wide, and the further they went in, the dimmer the lights on the walls became.
The end was a room even larger than the slaughterhouse—to be precise, it was more like a great hall or a pavilion.
Around it were several pillars providing support, and next to each pillar, tables and chairs were placed.
As Chen Yan walked in, he saw a monster covered in bloody flesh sitting on a chair beside the pillar to his left.
This monster’s neck was severed, its head placed on the ground.
And next to it, a skeleton puppet was carefully sticking a piece of human skin onto its head.
Its movements were meticulous, applying a layer of milky paste that looked like glue to the head while sticking the skin on.
After applying the skin, it would use a clean brush to iron it flat over and over...
The action was reminiscent of applying a screen protector to a phone.
As Chen Yan observed closely, the monster head on the table suddenly opened its eyes, blinked at him twice, and grinned.
What a smile... vicious and eerie!
Especially on that bloody flesh face, only half of the human skin was applied, one half looked like a youthful person’s tender face, while the other half was a flesh-covered skull!
Chen Yan felt his stomach churn again! He somewhat regretted having eaten and drunk before!
Just at this moment...
"You must be the first guest to pass the trial tonight, please come with me."
In front of him, a puppet dressed in white had walked over.
This puppet’s attire was nearly identical to the previous puppet servant’s, except the color was white. The same mechanical, rigid tone and manner of speaking were present.
Chen Yan looked at the white-robed puppet, pointing towards the monsters having human skin applied to them: "Are these the monsters responsible for attacking us inside the trial rooms?"
"Some of them are." The white-robed puppet answered meticulously: "Most will undergo testing and examination after the human skin is applied. The defective ones will be thrown into the refinement furnace. Only the qualified ones will be allowed into the trial area to serve the guests."
Serve... Chen Yan repeated the term in his mind, feeling somewhat ironic.
The white-robed puppet bowed: "Please believe that we only let qualified monsters into the trial area. We take the guests’ trial experience very seriously!"
Chen Yan kept a straight face, coldly saying: "Let’s go, take me to the final trial stage—this is your job, isn’t it?"
The white-robed puppet nodded: "Please follow me, guest."
In the hall, there were twelve pillars in total, each with tables and chairs. Most of these had monsters being serviced by puppets... having human skin applied!
Like dressing, the human skin was being applied!
Following along, Chen Yan walked to the end of the hall where there was a massive curtain.
But Chen Yan barely glanced at it before his face changed slightly—this isn’t a curtain!
The huge curtain was clearly stitched from numerous pieces of human skin! It looked a ghastly greyish-white!
Chen Yan’s scalp tingled, but he gritted his teeth and followed the white-robed puppet past the curtain!
Behind that greyish-white human skin curtain were steps, and on the layers of steps, there was a giant chair!
A huge figure sat on that chair, and just a glance from Chen Yan filled him with intense nausea!
That... was a human, more precisely, it was a monster!
A Meat Mountain!
This was Chen Yan’s first impression!
The chair was evidently quite broad, enough for three people to sit side by side, yet the monster occupying it had squeezed it to the point of leaving no space.
Its body was like a mountain of fat, a colossal heap of unknown lumps of flabby flesh!
