Chapter 748 - 748 534 The Weeping Psychotic Madman_3

Chapter 748: Chapter 534 “The Weeping Psychotic Madman”_3 Chapter 748: Chapter 534 “The Weeping Psychotic Madman”_3 Regarding this, he vaguely made some judgments.

‘This thing, it’s somewhat like a high-dimensional projection, to be more precise, it’s like a shadow projected outwards from the depths of an ‘nonexistent hospital.’ If the source of the infection is not eradicated, then killing it a few times would probably be useless…’

‘That’s probably also why the female employee could still be seen on the second floor, looking neither alive nor dead, because in a certain sense, what we are seeing is just a ‘shadow’…’

Colin had some guesses about the superficial anomalies of the hospital.

It wasn’t that the “Bonfire” couldn’t kill it, but rather that the source had not been found.

Thinking of this, some of the unease Colin felt due to the “Bonfire” ‘failing’ dissipated somewhat.

Following the two people’s reasoning, the three of them moved downward in silence.

The further they went down the stairs, the darker the lighting became, the atmosphere growing increasingly oppressive. To the average person, it might cause great psychological pressure, but for veterans who had completed numerous tasks…

Unless there were tactics such as spiritual contamination hidden away, this mere atmosphere was not enough to affect their psyche.

The descent went smoothly…

At least for the first ten or so minutes, it did.

At that moment, Colin stopped in his tracks, and the two people behind him also stopped.

“Did you say there was nothing below before?”

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance, vaguely realizing there was more to Brother Shunzi’s words.

“Yeah, what’s the matter?”

“There’s some crying sound below…” said Colin.

Below, after several turns, the fireball at the very front picked up some sound feedback. It sounded like the sobbing of an adult man.

“That can’t be, when we were there…”

“What happened before is before, it’s different now. For now, it seems like there’s been some new changes here.” Colin waved his hand, according to their account, there shouldn’t have been that female employee at the outpatient department!

He now even felt that there might be some will within this hospital, luring him deeper and deeper…

‘I am at least a Flame Bearer reservist, faced the ‘Red Moon,’ and chased away ‘The Night.’ I want to see just what thing is masquerading as a god, daring to lure me into a trap!’

As thoughts raced through his mind, Colin became more wary but did not cease his advance.

Left hand clutching three Golden Cards, right hand wielding a revolver with the Bone Spur mounted on it as a bayonet, Colin controlled surges of flames like a flood, rapidly advancing towards the lower stairs…

The already gloomy stairwell space experienced a rapid increase in temperature.

“Brother Shunzi is really powerful…”

The two behind him, feeling the power contained within the flames, involuntarily gasped for air, sensing a full measure of security.

After what felt like the descent of another ten or so floors, Colin noticed that the crying sound that had been approaching him began to retreat with his sudden outburst, moving away towards the lower stairs at a speed exceeding his own…

And after a few more floors, it seemed they would reach the fourth floor.

“Seems like it was scared off?” remarked Orange Cat, relieved by the sound of the retreat.

This encounter was beyond their understanding; if they could avoid it, it was best to do so…

However, just as Colin was considering whether to let it go at that, a series of task events suddenly popped up in his mind.

[Event One: Capture the “Crying Psychotic Madman” and draw one thousand milliliters of blood…]

“Remark”: Receive one hundred milliliters of ‘Psychotic Madman Patient Blood Extract’.
