SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 751 - 751 536 Terror Strikes_1

Chapter 751: Chapter 536 Terror Strikes!_1 Chapter 751: Chapter 536 Terror Strikes!_1 Psychiatric Ward Building No.3 was located towards the back of the entire hospital.

Feeling some indescribable threat, Colin didn’t proceed as he had earlier, forcefully flying across. Instead, he tried to minimize the irritants to this sinister place and followed the floor markings.

‘Could there be something deep inside the hospital that’s becoming aware?’ he wondered.

Colin tried to interpret that ominous threat.

He didn’t feel particularly scared, but since his mission was not yet complete, it wasn’t time to show his hand.

If the situation escalated prematurely, there was a high likelihood that the mission would be jeopardized…

Along the way, aside from the sound of their footsteps and the occasional conversation, there were constant, lingering cries.

The source of these voices couldn’t be pinpointed, as if they came out of thin air, and inexplicably sent shivers down one’s spine.

“Hiss…”

Orange Cat, walking beside Colin, hugged its arms and looked around the desolate, oppressive space:

“Who the hell created this ghastly place, and for what purpose is it so eerie…”

‘Who made it? You’d likely have to ask Bonfire Company about that,’ Colin thought, but didn’t voice it aloud. Instead, he continued forward, one hand holding onto the “Psychotic” madman and leading the small team.

The dangers on the fourth level weren’t too problematic if one knew how to handle them.

Had it not been for the concern of attracting the attention of something much more dangerous, he would have already gone solo on a rampage here.

“Gurgle, gurgle…”

The sound of a metal door sliding open suddenly came from not far behind them.

“Hiss…” Two employees instantly felt a chill in their hearts and instinctively grasped the weapons in their hands, ready for action.

A nauseating stench of rot slowly wafted from the ajar door…

Yet aside from that, the door was only slightly open, with no creature in sight.

Ashen Holy Body glanced at the lettering on the door that read “Emergency Resuscitation Room”: “It might be one of those cases where a corpse from the resuscitation room becomes animated…”

He quickly briefed the team on the situation, which was that, starting on this level, some mysterious corpses might be present in certain wards, including the “Emergency Rooms”.

Once someone passed nearby, there was a chance these creatures would follow…

But they just followed; they wouldn’t do anything else.

“You make it sound like some sort of toad…” Colin muttered.

“Yes, pretty much, but as far as I remember, they are not a threat…” Ashen Holy Body had only gotten halfway through his sentence

when Orange Cat seemed to remember something and promptly cut him off:

“They are a threat! I remember now, their corresponding locations are similar to those windows that lit up when we first entered on the first level. If you can recall those, we can avoid them…”

“Also, they don’t just follow; they will attack.”

“If anyone in our group becomes unconscious, that’s when you’ll see them make their move…”

“So, the trigger for their attacks is someone falling into unconsciousness or something similar?” Ashen Holy Body caught on to the key point.

“Right…”

“Wait, that patient Brother Shunzi is dragging…” Ashen Holy Body glanced at the person in Brother Shunzi’s hands.

Orange Cat was taken aback, recalling that the man was currently unconscious. Hesitantly guessing, it said:

“Perhaps it’s because he’s a hospital patient, considered one of their own?”

“Perhaps, but it’s not important…”

Colin ended the conjecture, feeling through Bonfire that behind that metal sliding door, amidst the dense stink, twisted figures seemed to be peering at them from the shadows.

From the darkness, the sticky sound of a dense liquid, perhaps blood or some other thick fluid, hitting the floor could be heard.

In his perception, those shadowy figures certainly seemed to be only secretly observing them, showing no interest in the “Psychotic” in Colin’s hand.

‘However, speaking of it, if unconsciousness triggers an attack, does sleeping count?’ Colin couldn’t help but wonder if those creatures would come for them when they ventured deeper into the hospital.

If there was a risk, they would need to deal with it.

“Can we kill them?” he asked.

Orange Cat shook its head: “No use, they can’t be destroyed. Even if we kill them, they’ll reappear from where they came and continue their pursuit until the person wakes up or is completely dead…”

While the two were exchanging thoughts, Colin also noticed another key detail in the dialogue: “Are you saying, after being killed, they will emerge again from the same place?”

“Yes…”

“Then there should be a way to deal with them.”

Colin thought for a moment, took out a piece of Third Level Containment Subject turned into new energy carbon from his pocket, and casually threw it into the metal door.

“Boom!” In a vibration, the room was momentarily engulfed in flames.

“Ahhh!!” The heart-wrenching screams rose but ceased within seconds.

“This fire will last quite a while. If they only resurrect from their original location, then this should resolve this issue… Let’s move. If you see anything problematic along the way, let me know.” After finishing his sentence, Colin resumed his march, not wasting another second on these creatures.

“Wow, that’s some assertive action…”

Seeing Brother Shunzi’s tactic, both were clearly taken aback—

What they had been contemplating was how to avoid confrontation, yet Brother Shunzi had simply blocked the spawning points and eliminated them. This was a path they had never considered.

After a moment of reflecting on how the mindset of the powerful differed from their own, they hurried to catch up.

After about ten more minutes of trek, Colin had blocked off several wards, departments, and even buildings, until at last, they saw the psychiatric ward buildings located further back.

From here on, the once distant and ethereal cries became more “real”.
