Chapter 757: Chapter 538: The Mutated Female Employee!_1 Chapter 757: Chapter 538: The Mutated Female Employee!_1 “This guy… actually followed us?”

Colin raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised, yet it wasn’t that strange.

After all, in that room, as long as one fell asleep, one could cross over to the next level, but he hadn’t expected that it seemed not necessary to lie down on the bed…

Hm? Colin suddenly noticed something wasn’t right, he extended his hand and cast out a streak of flame, enveloping the other party.

“This fellow, is the actual body descending…”

After a bit of checking, Colin confirmed this point.

However, the mission didn’t seem to mention how to deal with this thing.

He was somewhat unsure whether to bring it along…

“How did this cursed thing follow us?” the Ashen Holy Body by his side noticed the direction Colin was looking at and, turning to look, also revealed a surprised expression.

“Do you now recall seeing this situation in the hospital?”

Colin asked again, but the Ashen Holy Body still shook his head, indicating he hadn’t seen any “mental patients.”

Moreover, he had no impression at all, meaning he hadn’t come across it in his previous visits.

“Could it be that ‘Lady Rabbit’ behind the mission did some negotiating, got in touch with someone?”

Colin felt there might be some deal going on behind the scenes.

After thinking it over, he asked the Ashen Holy Body to carry the person to avoid the possibility of running out of the one thousand milliliters of blood later on; they might need to draw a little more from this individual.

Afterward, Colin went to the door of the ward that had been closed again and kicked it open with one foot.

Outside the door was an ominously dark expanse, and the air was filled with an ineffable stench, like a mixture of mold, blood, rotting flesh, disinfectant, formaldehyde, and some unknown excrements…

Colin took a whiff of it and, thanks to the super-enhanced sense of smell granted by “Beast Transformation Syndrome,” analyzed it for a bit.

“Still within manageable range.”

Having confirmed this, Colin didn’t delay any longer and walked out with the Ashen Holy Body.

In the gloomy, sinister corridor, the incandescent lights fizzed, flickering frequently as if they were short-circuiting…

Piercing and penetrating cries of anguish seemed to float from nowhere, causing one’s scalp to tingle.

Having just exited the building, Colin saw that all around, shadows like balloons were slowly drifting towards this place, not just a few or a dozen, but a large mass, dense and filling every space.

“Ah! It hurts! It hurts so much…”

A cluster of balloon shadows entered the range of direct flame, suddenly let out a scream, fell from mid-air with a smack, and then frantically thrashed about on the ground — a small boy’s head!

“Sss, balloons made from human heads?” The sight of the full form of the thing gave the Ashen Holy Body an inexplicable thrill of horror.

This head looked just like that of a normal person, but below the neck, it was sewn with surgical string like centipedes, trailing a black string that seemed to be the surgical thread, floating in the air.

Screaming while floating!

The Ashen Holy Body suddenly realized something: “The screams from the earlier floors were emitted by these heads. To avoid them, it’s best not to look at them, block out the hearing, etc., and reduce contact as much as possible…”

Mid-sentence, he suddenly came to a realization and looked at the sky, at those head monsters repelled by the flames.

Seems like with Brother Shunzi, there’s no need to scurry like himself and others did before…

“No big deal, now let’s head to the clinic hall…”

Finishing his thought, Colin stepped forward and asked:

“What was the big trouble that dispersed your team before?”

A threat that could scatter a D Level team was still worth understanding.

If it was just some entities with stronger physical forms, then it was no big issue. But he feared something with rules…

Those rule-based things, even Colin could only try to abide by them and not dare overstep lightly.

“Still can’t remember, it happened on the eighth floor, I think…” the Ashen Holy Body said uncertainly, feeling there was something else in his mind, but it was still very vague.

Based on previous experience, that should indicate an area they hadn’t reached yet.

Otherwise, he would have had an “evoked memory” and remembered everything.

On their way, Colin could sense that in the darkness outside of the firelight, a significant number of uncanny things silently followed them…

Occasionally some would cross the line, attempting to attack, but the result was being directly incinerated into ash by the flames.

Then there was a period of overall quiet…

‘Rare demonstration of a certain level of intelligence, but seeing the power of ‘Bonfire’ and not fleeing, even acting tough and charging at it, is abnormal…’

Colin made a simple assessment in his mind.

At that moment, he was somewhat thankful that his own strength was sufficient; if it had been during his E level or F level days when he was sent here…

This mission, regardless of anything else, would definitely have maxed out the horror atmosphere!

However, speaking of which, the abnormalities here seemed to operate with certain rules…

As long as he could figure out these rules and prepare carefully, it wasn’t impossible to carry out the mission.

Furthermore, if he could fully understand the habits of these strange beings, it might even be possible to guide them into fighting amongst themselves, thereby seizing opportunities.

As Colin walked along, he saw a human-shaped anomaly wearing a security uniform that seemed to attack anything that approached it…

“This damned place, even if it’s not out of control, is no good.”

Colin shook his head in thought.

About half an hour later, he quickly returned with the Ashen Holy Body.

During the journey, aside from encountering a few Chinese medicine Puppet People blocking the way for a bit and being hindered by a nursery rhyme that resembled a choral sound upon reaching a certain area, the entire journey was uneventful.
