Squelch… squelch…
Xu Que tried again and again to pinch the meat-like surface. It made squishy noises every time he touched it, as if he were squeezing a piece of raw meat.
In fact, he noticed that there was nothing out of the ordinary on the rest of the surrounding stone walls—the substance was concentrated on this small section.

"Blood sucker—I mean, system, find out what this shit is."
Whoosh!
A flash of white light appeared across Xu Que's eyes, followed shortly by a ring of notifications from the system.
