Easily prying open the manhole cover,
At this moment, the number of viewers in Zhao's live streaming room had skyrocketed from a few hundred to sixty thousand!
Among the newcomers, he had already climbed into the top rankings in terms of popularity.
His impressive performances in the previous few rounds had gained him many fans.
Especially among the novice players who were too timid to enter the dungeon, they had already started to treat Zhao as their big brother!
Inside the vertical well, it was pitch black.
Yang Linlin took out a flashlight and handed it to Zhao, taking one for herself as well.
They turned on the flashlight, and the light illuminated the walls of the well.
There was no filth or dust!
The smooth alloy walls reflected the light from the flashlight.
In the center of the wall, there was a button with strange symbols engraved on it.
After a simple confirmation, the two found out that it was actually an elevator leading underground!
"Isn't this kind of place used for sewage disposal... How did they build an elevator here?"
Yang Linlin covered her mouth, her eyes filled with surprise!
Zhao turned his head and took a look.
A pitch-black underground garage, a silent breeze.
This feeling wasn't good.
"Let's go, we can't waste any more time. We don't know when it will come back!"
The two quickly entered the elevator and pressed the button.
The elevator smoothly started to operate, and a slight feeling of weightlessness entered their bodies as they descended continuously...
This process continued for a full three minutes before it stopped!
The alloy wall in front suddenly opened, and a strong light blinded them, making it impossible to open their eyes. It took them a while to regain their vision.
In front of them was a narrow, pure white corridor.
The lights illuminated every corner of the corridor, leaving no trace of darkness.
Stepping out of the elevator, the alloy door behind them automatically closed.
"Where is this...?"
The sheer shock made it impossible to describe Yang Linlin's current state of mind!
Who could have imagined that such a sophisticated underground structure would be built hundreds of meters below a university!
"Perhaps it's some kind of strange experimental base."
Zhao stroked the stubble on his chin, his eyes flickering.
Ever since he encountered the principal, he had felt that something was off.
The idea of growing tentacles in his head didn't seem to have much to do with ghosts.
In the previous dungeon, he encountered several ghostly creatures, especially the director of the hospital.
That was a typical example.
The stronger the ghostly creature, the more their attacks tended to be spiritual, and ordinary means were hard to withstand.
But the principal in this dungeon, although powerful, relied entirely on physical attacks.
This indicated that the principal wasn't a ghost.
But rather... some kind of monster.
Clearly, "Haunting School Horror" was not just a purely supernatural dungeon. Its world was even bigger than he had anticipated!
Perhaps, the transformation of this school into its current state was the result of some human intervention?
The two walked along the corridor, and the ground began to show numerous bloodstains!
One after another, though they had dried up, the faint smell of blood and decay still lingered in the air.
The endpoints of these bloodstains were several bodies wearing special clothing. Their faces were covered with masks, resembling some sort of experimental subjects.
Their bodies were torn apart and ferocious, as if they had been mauled by large beasts, making Yang Linlin's scalp tingle!
"Exactly what have these people encountered?" Zhao Yi cautiously surveyed the surroundings. "One thing's for sure, this place is not safe."
He took a step forward, turning a corner, and came face to face with an encrypted alloy door. Next to the control panel, Zhao Yi discovered that accessing the door required facial recognition.
"It looks like we can't get in," said Yang Linyin, looking worried. If they couldn't get in, it meant they would have to turn back, and they could encounter the terrifying figures outside at any moment.
Even Zhao Yi, known for his fearlessness, avoided those dark figures, which was a testament to their danger.
"What are you doing?" Yang Linyin asked as she watched Zhao Yi suddenly pull out a scalpel and walk toward the corpses, causing her eyes to widen in surprise.
Without answering her, Zhao Yi's next move nearly made Yang Linyin lose her composure.
[Omitted 8 million characters of mosaic.]
It wasn't until Zhao Yi finally picked up the rotting, pus-filled, worm-infested head and arrived at the alloy door that Yang Linyin managed to keep her stomach under control.
Live comments:
- "Holy cow! The mosaic in the most exciting part, seriously?"
- "They're actually pixelating this? Who do they think they're looking down on?"
- "The people upstairs are all mentally ill, right? My sister can't take it!"
- "Forgive me for being blunt, but this is just too hardcore. I can now understand why there are so few forensic pathologists..."
- "Zhao bro is amazing, doing this kind of thing without even blinking!"
[Ding—]
[Facial recognition successful.]
Crack—
The massive alloy door opened a crack, and Zhao Yi casually stashed the severed head into his inventory.
[Item: Hetti's Head]
[Quality: White]
[Description: Hetti would never have thought that even after he died, he would encounter a psychopath who wouldn't even spare his well-preserved head!]
[Effect: Open door]
Seeing the system's mockery, Zhao Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Dragging all of humanity into such a terrifying (fun) game, aren't you the real psycho here?
Beyond the alloy door were three square corridors, each strewn with more bloodstains and body parts.
Yang Linyin had already drawn her pistol, her palms sweating. Obviously, there was great danger in this underground laboratory!
The two explored the rightmost corridor. Along the way, they found a special document on a severed hand covered in fresh blood.
["To my beloved Lena,"]
["I heard that the Babel amusement park has been completed. I promised to come back and play with you."]
["The project is nearing completion, at most another half month, and Daddy will be able to come home."]
["Don't worry, this time... Daddy will definitely come back!"]
After reading the document, Yang Linyin sighed. Zhao Yi, on the other hand, disdainfully discarded the manuscript.
"So, pigeons and such are really annoying!"
"They start cooing at the slightest trouble."
"He's just a father who loves his daughter, still thinking about her before he dies," Yang Linyin sighed.
"Yeah, he's a good father," Zhao Yi said absentmindedly. "But besides that, he's likely also a murderer. The deaths of thousands of people outside the school are very likely related to him."
Yang Linyin choked up. After Zhao Yi's words, she suddenly felt no sympathy for the man.
"Good riddance!"
"Scumbag!"
Ting—
From around the corner in the distance came a grating sound!
It sounded like someone dragging a heavy metal object, the part in contact with the ground was very sharp, even sparking as it scraped across!
That kind of sound was enough to make one's teeth ache!
The two nervously focused on the corner ahead, their muscles tensing in an instant!
