"And don't think Kris won't be afraid to get his hands dirty. On numerous accounts, he has laid hands on both colleagues and victims. He once stabbed a researcher in need of his rare type of blood that reacted to a serum. In the heart," said Rina, without minding her words.
"Overall, he is a scum that needed to be erased from this world," said Bryan, feeling quite annoyed by the person.
"I wouldn't say that he needs to be gone. Perhaps I can take him in for a good ol' pep talk with Baldwin," said Mavislin, raising her eyebrow.
Bryan looked at her in disbelief.
"The experimenter has become the experimented. I don't know to applaud you or to back away from you," said Bryan, glancing at Mavislin with wary eyes.
Mavislin cracked her knuckles and gave a twisted smile, scaring Bryan.
"Backing away from me is fine. But after the incident and if I do get to fight that man, you'll find that you would come to fear me more than these researchers," said Mavislin, grinning.
As they reached the entrance, Rina gave a final warning to the two of them.
"I never liked to see this, that's why most of the doctors don't come here," said Rina, looking away from the door.
"I get why the doctors don't like it here, but why aren't there any guards anywhere?" asked Bryan, yawning.
Mavislin froze up. How can she not have realized? They have not fought off any guards for the past few hours. She turned to look at Rie, who was also having the same look.
"I think there's something wrong here... You are right, why wasn't there any backup for me?" asked Rina as her wings sprouted.
The three backed away from the chamber's entrance. Rie went into another room instead, only to find that everyone in there had been massacred. Mavislin paused as she detected the stench of death. She took another deep breath in. And she nearly vomited.
There was no doubt about it, the only reason why the Valkyrie did not detect any danger was that there wasn't anyone around. All of the ones who were around... Were all dead. Guards and doctors alike. As Rina examined the bodies, she gasped in horror.
"They weren't killed by outsiders..." said Rina, as she carefully pried open one hand of the deceased.
She then turned around and faced her two new crew members. With a look of grief and anger, she tightened her grip on the weapon.
"They were killing each other," said Rina, dropping the operating knife on the floor.
Bryan seemed slightly disturbed while Mavislin glanced around. Rina was livid as she slowly walked out. Bryan followed her out while Mavislin tried to find any other signs of intrusion or foul play.
"They were close to you?" asked Bryan, trying to find another reason for the massacre through Rina.
"Very. They were the superior ones in terms of experimenting and finding cures. They were making quite the progress but judging by the damage, I think they've all gone to waste," said Rina, with her voice slightly cracking.
"Were they all seniors? Or are there some juniors lying around as well?" asked Bryan.
"There seem to be only the seniors around. The ones in armors are the guards. But I don't get it. I was just here a few hours ago and I left them because we heard a disturbance at the hidden entrance. They were all fine, just doing their jobs..."
"Now, I'm seeing them as dead bodies. And worst of all, it looks like that they turned on each other. I don't know why who or what did this, but I'm starting to get annoyed by these cruel acts. I had enough," declared Rina with tears threatening to come out.
"I am done with my tears. And I know who did this. There is only one person that can do such a thing. But first, I need to lead you guys to the Birthing Chambers. Let's settle there first. Then I will bring you to the main area," said Rina, wiping her tears away.
"There's another main area? I thought the Birthing Chambers was," said Bryan.
"No, it is just one of the most tragic areas to be in this facility. The main area is called the Poison Chambers, where Kris holds most of his experiments there. But Mavislin told me that she was on this mission to find the missing girls first, so I brought you both here," explained Rina.
Meanwhile, Mavislin was treading around the room with the dead bodies strewn about. She tried to detect a scent that did not belong to the room but it was hard with the smell of rotting flesh everywhere. It created quite the barrier-
