The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 39: All Are Human, Yet None Are

In the darkness of the room.

Shock flickered in Su Qi's eyes as he saw the figure before him clearly using the night vision function....

This shadow that was half the size of Gao Suqi was not human at all!

It had the head of a snake with a human body, sporting a snake's head and neck as slim as a snake, its textured skin luminescent in layers and crisscrossing patterns. As it spat out its forked tongue, its eyes emitted a cold green light while it loomed over Su Qi with a chilling gaze.

Su Qi's gaze sharpened as he looked towards his other two roommates.

One of them had the body of a crocodile and seemed to be sound asleep, still grinding its teeth... The other bore a pallid human face, but attached to it was a black body, with numerous spider legs curled up beside it.

Snakes? Crocodiles? Spiders?

What kind of scene was this!

A world of animals?

Moreover, Su Qi couldn't help but notice something else.

If his roommates looked like this, then he himself.....

Su Qi saw in the mirror mounted on the wall nearby, and from its reflection, he noticed his own appearance, gosh.... he had never realized that there were two fluffy ears atop his head.

Was his identity that of a rabbit?

A twitch formed at the corner of Su Qi's mouth.

In this dormitory, he was actually on the bottom tier of the food chain, no wonder the creature before him was eyeing him with a green glint.

Snake Man seemed dissatisfied with Su Qi's looking around, and his voice grew even chillier, but so as not to wake the others, he whispered lowly,

"You actually dare to go out during the curfew hours, aren't you afraid I'll report you!?"

"Hey, snitching is something only kids do," Su Qi suddenly paused, "I'm a kid now, oh well, no problem then."

He was just about to speak...

At that moment.

Su Qi's ears twitched slightly, already hearing the faint sound of a door opening from outside, likely a staff member from the orphanage starting to check the dorms.

Considering the current situation....

Su Qi understood that this was another deadly threat.

Now every step was tantamount to walking on thin ice; the eerie strangeness of this orphanage had begun to show its signs.

The fragmented pieces with animal features that he had seen in the restroom, those might belong to members of this very orphanage, those who had violated the so-called rules and regulations... and likely met their end in the same way, being flushed down the toilet drains.

"So what do you want to do?" Su Qi looked interestedly at the Snake Head Man before him, who had posed a question as if there might be some leeway.

Of course.

If there wasn't any.

He would just knock him out with violence right now, although this action had risks that might trigger unforeseen accidents.

There were seven rooms along the dormitory corridor.

Their room was at the end, and the sound of the first door being opened had just begun; there was still plenty of time.

Snake Head Man's eyes narrowed, his pupils shrinking and flickering, revealing a look as if he'd seen something delicious, yet he didn't dare to act rashly. Hissing his forked tongue, he spoke with an icy voice:

"I can help you hide this, but tomorrow... you must do something for me!"

"Is it troublesome? If it's too much trouble...."

He suddenly reached out and grabbed Su Qi's collar, his face fierce, "Don't you know your position yet, newbie!"

"A weakling with no strength to truss a chicken, still wants to talk terms!"

"Your fate is already sealed, either you die today, or you work for me tomorrow, that's your only chance to survive!"

Su Qi didn't dodge; he realized that the guy's Strength was about the same as that of an Ordinary adult. Even if he stood still and refused to move, the Snake Head Man wouldn't be able to budge him an inch.

Su Qi asked in a suddenly feeble voice, "That... it's not that I won't agree, but can you first tell me what this is all about?"

The Snake Head Man's pupils showed an obviously impatient mood, but thinking of the task he had to undertake tomorrow, he still restrained himself, reining in his killing intent, and said in a low and sinister voice:

This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēnovelkiss.com.

"Tomorrow is Game Day... You just need to listen to me, and do whatever I tell you to do. If you dare to defy me, I will eat you!"

His eyes gleamed fiercely, and he bared his fangs: "Understand?"

Su Qi showed a frightened expression: "I understand."

In truth, following the protocol, the normal behavior would seem to agree with him... He was low on the food chain and had to continuously navigate through this group of Monsters, then find a chance to carefully survive.

But suddenly, Su Qi did something unexpected; he hesitantly reached out and opened the door.

The startled Snake Head Man showed a fearful expression at that moment: "What are you doing!"

Su Qi meekly said, "That... I was in a rush when I came in just now and dropped something outside the door. I am afraid of being discovered and want to retrieve it."

"Close it quickly, do you want to kill us all!"

But Su Qi shook his head, his tone becoming more firm and sorrowful: "No, it's an important ornament entrusted to me by my family! I can't leave it outside, and if I get discovered, I'm afraid I will be killed too!"

The Snake Head Man's anger surged, and he growled: "Damn you, then hurry up and go fetch it!"

The one checking the rooms was still in Room No. 3; if he was fast enough, he wouldn't be seen!

Su Qi stepped out and then, in fear, drew his foot back: "I can't, I'm afraid."

As if truly scared, the Snake Head Man could see his feet were trembling, and his whole body was shaking.

Scared of you!

The Snake Head Man was filled with murderous intent. Watching Su Qi shivering, he almost couldn't resist the urge to bite this waste to death.

This fit his behavior when he first arrived; the Snake Head Man had set his sights on this prey then, not expecting him to forget the nighttime curfew and foolishly step out the door on the first night!

"Hurry up and get it!"

"But... my legs are shaking," Su Qi said plaintively: "I... can barely stand."

"Bro, help me out just this once, I promise to do whatever you say tomorrow!"

"And it's just a step away, my courage is too small; if I get caught, I'm dead for sure!"

Fuck!

The Snake Head Man cursed in his heart!

He was a cold-blooded animal and naturally wouldn't be moved by Su Qi's pitiful pleas.

But... this guy was important to him. On Game Day tomorrow, he needed him to be the scapegoat so he himself could get through safely.

"Damn it!" the Snake Head Man growled: "Where is it? I'll go get it for you!"

"It's just at the door, look carefully at the corner on the ground..."

The Snake Head Man stood in front of the door but was very cautious not to step out of the room. Then, with a green glow in his eyes, he scanned the quiet, dark corridor, but after a sweep, he saw nothing.

Frowning, he turned back: "There's nothing..."

His pupils suddenly narrowed when he saw Su Qi smiling, stretching his leg out, and mouthing what seemed to be:

"Goodbye!"

And then.

He was kicked out with a terrifying force!

And the next moment.

The door closed with a click.

The entire dark corridor was left with only the dazed Snake Head Man.
