quickly ignore it and run down the hallway that you didn't come from
You slowly walk to the hallway, in case the slime might get aggressive. Strangely, it doesn't seem to have any reaction at all: it just blankly stares at you.
As you are walking, you hear a strange noise approaching you.
*SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH*
: ...
: What the hell is that noise?
: aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
You quickly jump out of the way.
This is truly strange...so do you still want to go to the Research Lab or do you chase the strange drill-thing instead?
