Chapter 749: Chapter 535 “Don’t Come Near Me!”_1 Chapter 749: Chapter 535 “Don’t Come Near Me!”_1 “‘The Weeping Psychotic Madman’? So, the thing crying below is this kind of creature? But what exactly is a madman…”

“It didn’t mention killing, just capturing and drawing a thousand milliliters of blood, and that’s it…”

“The task seems quite gentle.”

Colin’s mind flashed with thoughts, and within a brief second, he had reached a decision.

Accompanied by a “boom” of an explosion.

His figure seemed to transform into a deep red blaze, surging rapidly towards the stairs below, trying to approach that something inexplicably named “Psychotic Madman.”

To extract a thousand milliliters of blood from it…

But after Colin’s figure vanished in an instant, the two employees behind him were suddenly dumbfounded, three question marks popping into their minds.

“Huh? What’s happening? What do we do?”

In the first moment, a sense of nervousness emerged from their hearts, and they couldn’t help but feel that perhaps some powerful enemy had appeared.

So Brother Shunzi had simply ditched them to cover the rear…

But just as they were lost in wild conjecture, a sentence floated through the air.

“I’m going down to deal with that thing. You guys stay within the range of the bonfire. Don’t move around randomly…”

Although they didn’t understand why Shunzi suddenly went down, after exchanging glances, the two of them obediently stayed still on the stairs covered by the bonfire’s range…

Trusting in Brother Shunzi’s credibility, he shouldn’t have just abandoned them and taken off.

Meanwhile, as Colin continued his pursuit, he suddenly noticed some problems: that thing was clearly much slower than him, yet for some reason, he could never get close enough.

No, to be precise, he could feel that he was closing in.

But the pace at which he was catching up was so slow that it seemed impossible he’d catch it within ten days or eight days at this rate!

And to keep rushing like this for ten or eight days, even Colin himself couldn’t hold out.

‘It feels like some damn rule or something, no matter what, there’s always a floor between us. Can’t catch up, just can’t, wait, ‘rule’?

Colin suddenly thought of the special nature of this “Nonexistent Hospital”: “Can’t think about it getting further away, nor can I think about being unable to touch it. I need to convince myself that I’m getting closer…”

Upon realizing this, he immediately started to hypnotize himself deep down.

Indeed, this time the distance between them finally started to close noticeably. However, Colin could still feel an indescribable force resisting him.

‘If I’m not mistaken, this resisting force should be that ‘Psychotic Madman’. Didn’t he just start flirting far and near a moment ago? How did he suddenly start running so fast?’

Colin murmured to himself, and while engaging in this mental battle, he also kept speeding up.

The stairs, covered with dark patches, led down layer by layer. No matter to which level Colin or the “Psychotic Madman” descended, the view of the next level remained, as if it were endless.

“This staircase itself is an anomaly…”

In the midst of the chase, Colin faintly realized that this never-ending staircase might be spliced and integrated into it.

And it was specifically designed as a passage to the “inner layer.”

The “human traces” were quite obvious…

But for now, he could not afford to worry about that and concentrated on chasing down that individual.

Ten minutes later, he suddenly felt a strong sense of mental pressure coming from ahead. At the front end where the bonfire’s light illuminated, he could vaguely make out a blurry humanoid silhouette…

At first glance, it was a man wearing blue and white vertical stripes, looking rather ordinary.

But as Colin got closer, he distinctly felt a strong sense of mental oppression and madness emanating from the other person, like a tangible storm…

For the first time, Colin clearly experienced what was called “the power of the mind.”

“You can’t catch me, you can’t catch me, don’t! Don’t get close to me!”

“I’m not sick! I’m not sick! Don’t come near me! I told you, I’m not sick!”

“I didn’t help him! I couldn’t help him! I don’t know anything, I don’t know! Don’t…”

“Don’t take me back, nooo!”

“Get away!”

“Aaaaah, mom, help me! Mom, there’s a bad person!”

“…”

The disorderly whispers mingled with the maddened mental tide, causing dizziness and swelling of the eyes, even causing the distance that had almost been closed to widen again.

It was only after Colin steadied his mind that he could close the gap once more.

After that, he saw the “Psychotic Madman” weeping and wailing as though seeing a ghost, half rolling and half running as he fled downwards.

‘Is it really necessary? I’m no villain, just going to take a little blood.’

‘But then again, these rule-like phenomena are truly odd. The way he’s running doesn’t look fast at all, just on his two legs and arms, and can’t be faster than my current speed, which is more than a supercar’s…’

‘It seems he makes better use of the ‘hospital rules’ than I do.’

Colin couldn’t help but comment to himself, then sped up even more.

Finally, after another two or three minutes, when he was close enough, Colin swiftly reached out and accurately grabbed the other’s neck.

Immediately after, he tried to subdue and stabilize the guy.

But then, unexpectedly, something happened!

The “Psychotic Madman” let out a loud scream:

“Don’t touch me! I said! Don’t come near me! I told you I didn’t help him! Why! Why are you forcing me!”

As his words ended, the “Psychotic Madman’s” neck twisted around, his eyes protruded from their sockets like snails, and his back split open, the spine dividing into two halves to form a large mouth. From that mouth, an innumerable set of eyes clustered together, emitting a foul, blood-red mist, attempting to envelop Colin.
