After thinking it over, Lu Ban picked up the blue Lulu doll that had fallen to the ground.
Although from the monster's perspective, this was its excrement, from Lu Ban's perspective, it was just an ordinary, funny-looking doll.
Lu Ban sniffed it but didn't detect any strange smell.
"Should I try tasting it?"
In the end, he did not follow through with this action.
Having drawn a conclusion from its scent alone, there was no need for further experimentation.
"If this is what's left after the monster has fed on fear, then at the beginning..."
Lu Ban remembered the very first mission he undertook, when he had checked under the bed and found such a doll there.
He had properly disposed of it in the designated recycling bin, but halfway through the night, after the heartbeats counting game, it reappeared under the bed, as though it had crawled there by itself.
