Chapter 14 - Ghost Town

Alex

Entering the building, there were large buckets of some sort of meat everywhere. There were even fingers, and possibly hands and feet as well.

But that wasn't the worst part. The blood was black. These were pieces of Dylan.

'How are there so many?'

Seeing these buckets, there must be more than one person like Dylan out there - with black blood.

However, this begs the question: what do they want with them? And why are they taking them apart like this?

No matter what it is, this just means I need to save Dylan that much more. He's in danger of becoming pieces of meat in a bucket.

Going further inside, I noticed that the building was surprisingly empty. And I don't mean in terms of people, I mean in terms of everything.

The front room with all of the buckets was one of the only rooms in the entire place. The rest was completely hollow on the inside, aside from a second floor above me.

But the problem was: how do I get to the second floor?

After searching everything I could in the building, I decided to go back outside and look around somewhere else.

Opening the door slowly, I made sure nobody was around before I went outside and around to the alleyway.

Seeing as I would stand out in a place like this, I needed to move quietly. Luckily for me, behind the buildings was a small gap made for some reason, allowing me to go unseen.

The gap was obviously a path that was rarely taken, but even back here was completely clean. It was different from what I knew about Beastmen.

Moving down the small path, I noticed that there wasn't anybody around at all. It was as if this place was completely deserted.

This lack of activity was a stroke of luck for me, allowing me to move unhindered, while also able to go towards any commotion to find the Beastmen.

Walking along the small gap between the rock and the buildings, I finally started to come across Beastmen and Demons.

The Beastmen looked exactly as their names implied–a combination between humans and beasts.
