"We're going to die!! We're going to die!!"
"Papa!! Run faster!!"
Footsteps echoed through the hospital corridor.
Guo Shuai clutched Quanquan on his head and sprinted with everything he had!
Behind him.
ROAR!!
Countless beams of red light pierced through the fog!
Swarms of Supervisors brandished their Boning Knives in relentless pursuit!
"Damn it!!"
Guo Shuai complained between strides.
"Why do these things track me like they've got GPS planted on me?!"
"Why can't I shake them no matter what?!"
He had already wound through several intersections inside this massive labyrinthine hospital.
But no matter how he hid—even holding his breath—those monsters always locked onto his position within seconds!
Just then.
Deep in his mind, Albert could not bear to watch any further.
"You idiot!! Take a look at what you're holding in your hand!!"
"Do you think they're blind?!"
"Huh?"
Guo Shuai jolted, instinctively glancing down at his left hand.
There was the Fog-Dispersing Lantern, in the pitch-black fog...
Blazing like a lightbulb cranked to several thousand watts!
"What the...?"
Cold sweat instantly drenched Guo Shuai.
He had completely forgotten about this!
Sure, the thing could disperse fog—but running around in the dark holding it...
Was that any different from raising a target and screaming "open fire on me"?!
‘Sure enough, you can't push through on depleted focus!’
‘Not even catching something this obvious—what absolutely rotten luck!’
"Throw it!!"
Without a moment's hesitation.
Guo Shuai swung the Grade C Cursed Object in a wide arc.
Then he hurled it toward an open patient room off to his right!
"I'm barely alive as it is—what do I need this stupid lantern for?!"
Thud!
The lantern smashed apart on the patient room floor.
The lamp oil splattered instantly, and green flames spread across the room.
Seizing that moment, Guo Shuai threw himself into a sliding tackle!
He dove into the patient room on the opposite side of the corridor.
Huff...huff...
Guo Shuai pressed his hand over Quanquan's "face" and crouched in the corner, not daring to make a single sound.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
Footsteps halted just outside the door.
The swarm of Supervisors had caught up.
Without a target to lock onto, they could only wander the corridor, letting out rounds of shrieks.
Through the gap in the door.
Guo Shuai vaguely made out a rusty Boning Knife slowly poking its way inside.
"......"
Guo Shuai was drenched in cold sweat.
‘Were we spotted anyway?!’
But just then.
The knife suddenly withdrew.
Immediately after.
Hiss! ROAR!!
A burst of chaotic howling erupted from the room opposite!
The same room where Guo Shuai had smashed the lantern moments ago!
Slurp~ Slurp~
Lapping sounds rose from across the way.
The swarm of Supervisors had not discovered Guo Shuai—instead they surged into the room opposite.
They sprawled across the floor, scrambling over each other to eat the lamp oil splattered everywhere!
Guo Shuai stole a glance from the corner of his eye.
By the last fading green firelight.
He watched those monsters gnaw the floor tiles stained with oil down to nothing.
He suddenly recalled the note that had come with the lantern when he first obtained it.
【You wouldn't want to know what this lamp oil is made from……】
And now.
Watching those monsters fight over it, the answer was self-evident.
That lamp oil...
Was rendered from corpse fat.
'Lost the Cursed Object—but at least my life is intact.'
While those monsters held their buffet.
Guo Shuai clutched Quanquan and slipped away silently along the base of the wall.
Only when the Danger Perception in his mind went completely quiet did he dare stop.
Then he pressed his back against the wall and gasped for breath in great heaving gulps.
"Hah...alive...still alive..."
Guo Shuai wiped a hand across the cold sweat on his face.
"Good thing the Boss's serums boosted me to a Grade B physique."
"Otherwise with my original stamina, I'd have run myself to death back there."
He was just about to reach up and pat Quanquan on his head for comfort.
But.
His hand grabbed at nothing.
Empty.
"?!"
Guo Shuai's scalp erupted, and he shot to his feet, looking left and right.
"What the—?! Where did it go?!"
"Don't tell me it got lost!!"
‘Losing the Boss is one thing—those cursed things should be worrying about me and the monsters.’
‘But Quanquan is a baby!’
‘And Albert said that little thing is a future Divine Chosen candidate!’
‘I absolutely cannot lose it right now.’
"Quanquan!! Quanquan!!"
Guo Shuai called out in a hushed voice.
With the lantern gone, he was no better than blind.
Just then.
"Papa~!"
"Come here quick!!"
"Quanquan?!"
Guo Shuai's heart leapt with joy. He rushed toward the sound immediately.
He passed through a thick layer of fog.
Buzz!
A blinding white light hit his eyes.
At the far end of the corridor, Quanquan stood there, its little hand pointing forward.
And the direction it was pointing...
Was a medical elevator still in operation!
The elevator doors were half-open, its interior light scattering the surrounding darkness.
On the display panel beside the elevator, a line of blood-red text scrolled past.
【First ride is free.】
"An elevator?!"
Guo Shuai was overjoyed.
But before he could celebrate for even a second.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The Danger Perception in his mind lit up red again!
Albert screamed inside his head.
"Get in now!! They're back!!"
ROAR!!
Deep in the corridor.
Those Supervisors, fully gorged, had once again caught the scent of a 2-legged snack and came charging forward with thunderous roars!
Fast as lightning!
Guo Shuai didn't hesitate for an instant—he scooped Quanquan up off the floor and threw himself into the elevator!
Smack!
He slammed the top-floor button—【F19】!
Then frantically hammered the【Close Door】button!
"Come on come on come on!! Close!! Close already!!"
Rumble rumble...
The elevator doors slowly drew together.
The instant the gap was about to seal shut.
A massive hand lunged in, trying to force the doors back open!
That hand was covered in eyeballs, all of them rolling and spinning!
"Get lost!!"
Guo Shuai roared, the Wind Force Heavy Pressure he had been building up ready to blast out.
But in the next second.
Crack!!
Because the elevator doors had already closed more than halfway.
Combined with the terrifying hydraulic force of a hospital elevator.
That arm was forcibly severed clean off!
Splat!
Black blood sprayed all over Guo Shuai and Quanquan's faces!
"ARGH!"
A monster's agonized scream rang out from beyond the doors.
Immediately after, the elevator doors sealed completely, blocking out every sound.
Buzz!
The elevator began to rise smoothly.
"Hah...hah..."
Guo Shuai slumped against the elevator wall and sank to the floor, breathing in deep gulps.
"How did those things keep tracking me? Was it really the light?"
"Whatever, let me rest for a bit first..."
He watched the numbers on the display ticking upward.
1F...
2F...
3F...
"Papa..."
Quanquan in his arms lifted its head, its tone cheerful.
"We're saved..."
Guo Shuai looked at it and broke into a smile.
He reached out and wiped the black blood off its face, then gave a satisfied nod.
"It's all thanks to you, Quanquan."
"If you hadn't found the elevator, the 2 of us would have been done for on the 1st floor today."
He looked up at their final destination—the 19th floor.
"The Boss probably rode this same elevator up."
"Let's go..."
"Let's head up and see..."
"What exactly is up there on the top floor, waiting for us?"
