Chapter 350 Eyes in the Rice Bowl
Chapter 350 Eyes in the Rice Bowl
"Hmm... how should I put it?"
Lingye frowned deeply, seemingly quite troubled by the table full of "food."
"Anyway, it's not something you can eat. You shouldn't look at it."
His voice was somewhat low, revealing a sense of helplessness.
However, Lin Xiyue's curiosity was piqued by Ling Ye's words.
She stared wide-eyed at the table full of strange "food" that seemed to emanate black energy, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"Oh? No, now that you say that, I'm even more interested. Let me see!"
Lin Xiyue's tone was full of curiosity and eagerness. She completely ignored Ling Ye's advice and reached out to Ling Ye for the glasses.
Seeing this, Ling Ye felt somewhat helpless, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally decided to hand the glasses to Lin Xiyue.
"Okay, take two more steps back and I'll give it to you."
However, he still gave her some instructions before handing it to her.
Although Lin Xiyue was somewhat reluctant, she still took two steps back as Ling Ye asked.
Lingye then carefully handed the glasses to her.
Lin Xiyue took the glasses and slowly put them on her nose.
When she looked through the glasses, the sight before her made her gasp – the dishes that had looked ordinary had now turned into gruesome monster remains.
She stared wide-eyed in disbelief as the severed limbs writhed and struggled before her eyes, as if they were still alive.
What's even more terrifying is that in the very center of the dish, which she thought was spicy chicken, there was a constantly moving eyeball staring at her menacingly.
The scene was so terrifying that Lin Xiyue felt a chill run down her spine and goosebumps rose all over her body.
Fortunately, she had previously visited an alien planet by accident, where she had seen a lot and thus acquired some antibodies, which prevented her from screaming when faced with such a terrifying scene.
"See? I told you not to look."
Seeing this, Ling Ye spoke softly and reached out his hand, gesturing for Lin Xiyue to return the glasses to him.
However, at that moment, Lin Xiyue seemed to have discovered something among the pile of dishes that made people's sanity drop. Her expression suddenly became somewhat anxious, and she even ignored Ling Ye's urging and took two steps forward.
"What? Don't be impulsive!"
Upon hearing Lin Xiyue's words, Ling Ye felt a pang of anxiety, as he was unable to turn his head to look at the vegetables and was extremely worried about Lin Xiyue's condition.
“I didn’t have any impulse; I really saw something strange.”
Lin Xiyue's voice trembled slightly. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then asked Ling Ye, "Do you have any tongs or chopsticks here?"
"I have chopsticks here, wait a moment, I'll get them for you."
Although Ling Ye didn't know what Lin Xiyue had seen, he could sense the seriousness of the matter from her tone, so he quickly replied.
As she spoke, Lingye began rummaging through the pouch on her body.
Lin Xiyue stood still, her eyes fixed on the dishes on the table. Her heart was pounding faster and faster, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on her forehead.
It wasn't that she didn't want to use the chopsticks on the table; it was just that when she put on her glasses, those ordinary chopsticks became incredibly terrifying in her eyes.
She clearly saw that the chopsticks she had prepared for eating when she was being misled were actually made from human teeth.
These teeth were somehow glued together and then polished until they were as smooth as jade, making them feel like a pair of ordinary chopsticks.
If Lin Xiyue hadn't seen the shape of the teeth on the chopsticks with her own eyes, she probably wouldn't have known that they were actually made of teeth if she had only touched them.
The thought that she had just been holding those chopsticks, preparing to taste that table of food that made her feel utterly disgusted, made Lin Xiyue's stomach churn, and a strong sense of unease surged into her heart.
She felt as if her hands were also tainted by those disgusting and evil chopsticks, and she couldn't stand it no matter what. She wished she could immediately soak her hands in disinfectant and scrub them a hundred or eighty times until the unpleasant smell was completely gone.
However, at this moment, there was something else in Lin Xiyue's mind that made her suppress that nausea: the thing she had discovered earlier.
She was so curious and eager to find out what was going on, but she was also reluctant to rush into those strange chopsticks and touch them.
So she decided to ask Lingye for help to see if he had a similar tool available.
Although Lin Xiyue's space was large, there were no chopsticks or clips inside.
However, Lingye trusted her completely, and when she asked him a question, he immediately started rummaging through his waist bag without saying a word.
"Yes, I have some. Here you go."
Before long, Lingye successfully found a pair of fire tongs and handed it to Lin Xiyue without hesitation, saying...
Lin Xiyue took the fire tongs, held them, and tried them out in the air to test their feel.
"Okay, don't move yet, I'll go take a look at that thing."
Then, she turned to Lingye and gave him instructions.
After saying that, she took a deep breath, composed herself, and slowly walked towards the strange thing.
She gripped a pair of fire tongs tightly in her hand and walked straight to the pot at the very edge.
Before wearing glasses, this bowl looked like it was filled with rice.
Lin Xiyue walked to the basin, stopped, and then carefully inserted the fire tongs into it. She gently moved the tongs with her hand, stirring and searching among the monster remains in the basin.
Before long, the tongs seemed to touch something. Lin Xiyue's heart tightened, and she quickly squeezed hard to pull the object out.
As the object was pulled out, a pungent odor wafted out, causing one to frown.
Lin Xiyue looked closely and saw that what she had pulled out was a strange object, which looked like a skull of some unknown thing.
The skull was buried among the pile of monster remains, and it would be difficult to spot it without careful observation.
This skull is very peculiar. At first glance, it does look a bit like a rat's skull, but upon closer inspection, there are many differences.
For example, where the eyes should be, there are now two snail-like eyes. Moreover, these two eyes are not on the skull, but rather as if they were glued on. They are currently rotating 360 degrees, as if observing the surrounding situation.
This bizarre scene is chilling, giving the impression that the skull is a brainless monster that mechanically executes simple commands.
