Chapter 4 Red Moon
He wondered if he would turn into a mass of eyeballs stuck together if things continued like this, and as time went by, his mood grew heavier and heavier.

Judging from Mrs. Ster's reaction when she saw him, she did not know that Yuanliya had left the room and had been dragged out and buried alive.

The old woman valued the original owner of this body quite a bit; if she found out about this, who knows what she might do.

The original owner of this body clearly didn't know how to be grateful, but that's not his fault. Anyone who leaves their hometown and contracts this disease wouldn't easily trust others. He could only huddle in a corner of a dark room, slowly rotting and stinking like a pitiful maggot.

The key question then becomes who took him out of the room.

A person with severe autism wouldn't go out easily. He would probably only accept the food Mrs. Ster brought him when he was really starving, and then allocate the bread reasonably for the next few days.

For example, break off a piece and put it in your mouth in the morning, break off another piece and put it in your mouth in the afternoon, but don't eat it at night.

Then, without anyone noticing, the bread was gnawed on by a mouse.

"How come you're having such a miserable time, bro?"

Lia observed three seconds of silence for him, but then she put herself in his shoes and realized that his situation wasn't much better. Sympathizing with others wouldn't add a delicious, juicy steak to your dinner table; it would only add to your mental burden.

As things stand, he can only sneak out at night to seek out sources of faith. This not only makes him feel better, but also makes him feel less hungry.

"If all of this were a dream, I would wake up lying in bed at home, with the air conditioning on, reading a novel on my side, my phone still plugged into the charger."

Having witnessed too many things beyond common sense in a single day, Ria began to have wild thoughts, but unbeknownst to him, the moon in the sky seemed to grow larger and larger, and its color became increasingly red.

It had changed from a red dot when Ria was in the coffin to a deep crimson, and when Ria looked up, he was startled himself.

He had never seen a moon so large and so brightly colored.

The highly saturated red made Ria's heart flutter.

Whether drawn by the red moon or not, the monsters hidden in the darkness also began to riot. In their eyes, the only living creature in the town that dared to go out at night had undoubtedly become a hot commodity.

They emerged from all directions, emitting deep, mechanical growls from their throats. Judging from their appearance alone, it was impossible to describe what they looked like; they seemed more like heretics who had dismembered dozens of different animals and then glued them back together.

As they approached, Ria felt incredibly nervous, but he had deliberately come to this open space to find these key creatures that could provide a large amount of faith.

They are no different from the humanoid monsters from before; it's worth the risk to survive.

The worst that can happen is death; once you're dead, you'll wake up from your slumber.

Having hypnotized himself to this point, Ria tore the last piece of bread into countless pieces and scattered them at them, then created several eyes on her palms and aimed them at them.

In his previous life, he was a businessman, and the customers he faced were sometimes far more terrifying than monsters. Although these monsters looked scary, they could only shout and couldn't speak at all. They probably couldn't be very smart, no matter how clever they were.

Moreover, all of this is a dream.

It's a dream!

Lia firmly believed this, and it was the only view he could hold. He feared he might do something irrational if this view were not true.

"Friends, calm down, why not make a deal with me?"

“I know you’re hungry and want to eat me, but before you eat me, why don’t you have some appetizer bread to fill your stomachs?” He was at a stalemate with the monsters, and they clearly had no interest in the bread on the ground; to them, Lia was much more appealing.

Lia could only argue, "I don't taste good. If you eat me, you'll get a contagious disease, really!"

At the same time, he frantically searched for a solution. Why was this transaction invalid? Was it because he didn't have enough eyes?
He quickly took off his coat and threw it on the ground.

Just as Ria was about to grit his teeth and take out the fruit knife again, a monster that looked like a wolf or a pig suddenly circled around behind him and pounced. Then, it saw the strange eye on the human's neck.

The eye stared at it like a ghost, and the monster suddenly froze, feeling its body slowly turning to stone. But at the same time, it looked at the breadcrumbs on the ground and suddenly felt an extreme longing.

What it had just considered garbage now looked like delicacies. The monster rushed over and devoured the bread, licking and gnawing at it, not caring that its mouth was covered in dirt.

Then, it turned completely petrified, cracks appeared all over its body, and beneath those cracks were golden eyes, and the ground was covered with layers of stone chips.

Ria's suspicions deepened, but he soon knew what to do.

He raised his hand and loudly proclaimed to the monsters around him, like an auctioneer at a sale: "I will exchange this stitched-together beast for your faith."

Bread might not meet the psychological needs of most monsters, so they internally refuse to exchange it, and the one that just agreed did so because it saw the eye on the back of its own neck.

All of this suggests that the eyes on the back of the neck are more special than ordinary eyes.

Now, Ria has found a bargaining chip that better meets the monsters' expectations, and after he shouted that, a magical scene unfolded.

The monsters stopped paying attention to him and rushed towards their petrified brethren, quickly devouring them completely.

And Ria finally couldn't hold back any longer, and began to tremble with excitement.

To be honest, these forces were too immense. He no longer felt comfortable; instead, his stomach felt bloated and nauseous, so nauseous that he wanted to dig his stomach out of his throat with his fingers.

But Ria resisted the urge to vomit and was extremely excited.

His guess was right. After the monsters finished eating their own kind, they showed him a friendly expression and no longer regarded him as an enemy.

But this level of exchange was not enough to make them completely believe in Ria and be devoted to him.

Ria touched the back of her neck. The eyes in the back of her neck were not to be underestimated, but they were quite difficult to use. After all, Ria couldn't see things from behind, nor could she walk with her back to the front.

If someone attacks him from behind while he's blindfolded, he might just be finished.

"Sigh." He watched as a small cat-like monster walked over and circled around him, as if asking if he had any food left.

Ria remembered the humanoid monster from before.

"Yes, I'll take you there."

After saying that, he returned to the original path and found the creature again. As he had expected, its body was now filled with golden eyes.

This strange change made Ria turn her head uncomfortably, looking at the group of abnormal creatures behind her, their saliva dripping all over the ground.
