The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

Chapter 273 Dog?

The scene was quite interesting—Lin Xiyue and Molos were crouching on either side of the monster's head, their eyes fixed intently on the monster's every move.

Heheluo squatted beside Lin Xiyue, directly facing the monster's abdomen and its slender, arthropod-like legs.

"This is the first time I've seen this kind of monster up close. Before, I only saw it in the news and in books. Now it seems that this monster truly deserves to be called a predator; every part of it feels like a deadly weapon."

Seeing Lin Xiyue approach the monster so cautiously and crouch down to observe it carefully, He Hailuo followed suit without hesitation, tiptoeing over to the side and slowly crouching down as well.

She stared wide-eyed, completely absorbed in the monster before her.

Even in the dim light, it was clear that although the monster's legs were tightly bound, the incredibly sharp edges still gleamed with a chilling light.

Looking further up, its gaping maw was filled with sharp fangs, as if it could easily tear a person's flesh and bones apart with just one bite.

What's even more surprising is that this monster not only has intelligent eyes that can understand human speech, but it also knows how to wear human high heels.

From these details, it is not difficult to deduce that it is by no means a newcomer, but has been lurking in human society for a long time, or rather, someone has been hiding it here for a long time.

"So, the cotton doll isn't working anymore?"

Heheluo also overheard the conversation between Molos and Lin Xiyue. At that moment, her first thought was, what should be done about the doll that represented her parents?

"The energy here is too chaotic, so they can't find what we're looking for right now. Tsk, you can hold onto it."

Meros absentmindedly agreed, then turned his gaze to the two cotton dolls that looked like balloons not far away.

The two little ones were tied together by a thin rope, like two hydrogen balloons that had lost their freedom, floating listlessly in mid-air.

They were holding each other's little hands tightly, just like a loving young couple.

They floated quietly in the air, a gentle breeze causing them to sway slightly, creating a truly heartwarming scene.

“(⊙o⊙)…, okay, okay.”

He Hailuo took the two cotton dolls that Mo Luo handed to her, and looked at Lin Xiyue and Mo Luo with a bewildered expression while holding the two dolls.

"Okay, let's have it take us to where it usually is now."

Moros got up and pulled Lin Xiyue up with him.

"Let's go, take us with you."

Immediately afterwards, he quickly reached into his backpack, rummaged around for a bit, and then pulled out a thick rope.

The rope looked somewhat worn, but it was still strong and resilient.

He casually unfolded it, then skillfully tied a slipknot at one end and tossed it without hesitation toward the monster's neck.

The rope traced an arc in the air, precisely looping around the monster's neck and tightening its grip.

Just then, the lair that had been silent and tightly bound the monster suddenly stirred.

It received Meros's command, and the lair slowly loosened its restraints on the monster's legs, allowing it to stand up with difficulty and regain the ability to walk.

Clearly, this was done so that the monster could lead the way and everyone could follow him.

"Hisssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss for one for you

The monster, which had just gained a little freedom, immediately let out a chilling roar.

At this moment, it seemed to have completely forgotten the pain it had suffered before, and it didn't even care about the pen that was deeply embedded in its brain. It bared its teeth and roared at the people around it.

Faced with such a ferocious monster, Meros merely glanced at it indifferently, then rolled his eyes, as if he thought the guy in front of him was extremely stupid.

Then, he raised his foot and kicked the monster mercilessly. A scream of pain rang out, and the monster, realizing its predicament, became docile.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"

Next, the monster actually obediently walked at the front of the group and acted as a guide.

Surprisingly, it not only behaved exceptionally well-behaved and obedient, but was also very attentive and considerate.

Whenever it encounters a threshold or other potentially dangerous place, it will deliberately stop and bark twice in succession to warn those following behind to be careful and pay attention to safety.

And so, Lin Xiyue and the other two followed the monster through the movie theater late at night, as if walking a dog.

Slowly, they followed the monster around countless corners, and then at the last corner, they arrived at a screening room marked with the number 28.

This screening room is the furthest from the elevator, and it's also the most dilapidated.

Looking at the dilapidated walls and carpets around us, as well as the old, peeling paint on the ceiling, it's clear that this place has been neglected for a long time.

"I remember this place wasn't like this."

Upon arriving here, Hehelu couldn't help but speak up.

What was it like before?

Lin Xiyue asked.

"Before, it was just like the outside. It was very new and beautiful. It's a fairly large movie theater, and sometimes it's even full. So I came to watch a movie in this area last week, in screening room number 27 next door."

Heheluo reached out and touched the wall beside him. It felt very real; it was the kind of wall that had truly been ravaged by time and become old.

If she hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, she certainly wouldn't have believed that such bizarre changes could have happened within a week.

"This is no longer the world we knew."

Meros spoke in a low voice, groping for something through the cracks in the dilapidated wall as he spoke.

A short while later, he was seen prying out another nest from a crack in the wall.

"Huh?! This, this is?! ?)?Д?( )"

Hero looked at Meros in shock, then at the almost identical nest still bound to the monster, completely dumbfounded.

"This place is already in the gap between the inner world and the real world. And my followers have always been with me, so I can easily pull them out."

As he spoke, Meros placed the new nest into Lin Xiyue's hands, instructing it to protect her.

"This is for you; it will protect you. If you get lost, it will guide you."

Then he pulled out another one and threw it to Hehelo.
