Chapter 381
Hhuuuuhh! (FX for a deep gasp)
"Kuk, Kuk, Kuk!"
Grey burst into a coughing fit as his eyes slowly fluttered open, his entire body groaning in slight pain. His hand instinctively crept up to his face, as though trying to ground himself in reality.
"Wh…what happe—" Grey stammered, but cut off mid-sentence as his fingers brushed against something wet and sticky on his forehead. Confused, he pulled his hand away and blinked at it in disbelief.
A sticky, smelly black substance coated his palm—thick like sludge, with a stench that made his nose wrinkle instantly.
"What the hell is this?!"
He bolted upright from his laying position, his instincts kicking in faster than his mind could process. He stood hurriedly to his feet, heart racing.
Splash!
Something beneath him gave way with a wet squelch. Glancing down at the floor where he had been moments ago, Grey's expression twisted in disgust.
