Tokyo Fall Guys beats up the supernatural

Page 129

The two fans were somewhat shaken. The senior fan mustered his courage and went into the corridor, shining a flashlight in the direction he had come from. He discovered that the corridor he had entered through had been replaced by a fire door—an old-fashioned fire-resistant roller shutter.

It is very heavy and difficult to open without tools or a key.

The senior colleague swallowed nervously and returned to his room, asking, "So, what do we do next?"

Huaiyin took the flashlight from his hand and said, "You guys stay here, I'll go first."

"Wha, what?"

Chapter 8 You've Learned Bad Habits from Your Brother

Before the senior could react, Huaiyin had already taken a flashlight and walked into the corridor, heading towards the stairs without fear.

As she walked, she took the fishing rod bag off her back and carried it in her hand.

Huaiyin has no extraordinary powers, nor does she possess talismans like Lu Zizhen's that can enhance her abilities. Currently, she can only rely on the powers she has learned to resolve the current situation.

With the enemy unknown and their strength unknown, Huaiyin encountered the most difficult situation when she first left Doutang's embrace to face this strange world on her own.

A powerful enemy is not truly powerful; a hidden enemy is.

It has been confirmed that the freak lurking in the shadows is not human, but it is still unknown just how strong he is.

But there was no better candidate than himself.

Huaiyin mustered her courage and went to the stairwell. She walked up the stairs without stopping on any floor, and went straight to the third floor.

"Girl, you need to be careful from now on."

Hearing the voice in her mind, Huaiyin felt more confident and walked forward, observing her surroundings with the help of her flashlight.

The only sound in the corridor was Huaiyin's own footsteps. In the middle of the corridor, Huaiyin found a heavy door with an operating room sign embedded in it.

These two doors, which were specially designed for sterile rooms, have been partially detached. Looking through the fallen half of the door, there is another door.

Huaiyin walked into the waiting area, where the plastic seats on both sides were already tattered and broken. It was unclear whether they were like this before they were abandoned or if something had happened to them later.

The door to the truly sterile operating room was tightly closed, and there were several strange, dark handprints on the door.

Huaiyin leaned closer and looked at the small window on the door. The window was originally frosted glass to block the view, but someone had covered it with a layer of dirty newspaper from behind the door. The filth and old newspapers clumped together behind the door, completely blocking the view of people outside.

Huaiyin reached out and fiddled with the raised handprints on the door, pried off a small piece of lumpy substance, crushed it with her fingers, smelled it, frowned, and her face scrunched up.

"Ugh, it's blood... blood from a long time ago."

Shaking his fingers, Huaiyin took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

"squeak--"

The old, sealed door opened with a screeching sound.

Huaiyin shone his flashlight inside.

The first thing that catches the eye is the operating table in the center. The swing arm shadowless lamp from the last century still hangs above the bed, but much of the paint has peeled off.

The operating table was covered with a tattered cloth, which was covered in filth, including what appeared to be feces and urine in addition to bloodstains.

A small walkie-talkie was placed on the rag.

Huaiyin looked around the room and almost vomited.

Several huge stainless steel cages were placed against the wall in the room. Although the cages were empty at the moment, it was still possible to tell what kind of creatures they had once kept inside.

Feces and urine piled up on the ground under the cage, emitting a foul stench. Huaiyin looked back at the gate and found that the newspaper pasted behind the gate was also made of excrement, which was disgusting.

But it looks like it's been quite a while, at least half a year? Huaiyin couldn't be sure, after all, she had never observed this kind of thing before.

Is someone holding something here...?

Then Huaiyin looked around at the ceiling and found a camera in one corner of the room. The camera was covered in filthy excrement, and only the lens had been hastily wiped clean to maintain its original surveillance function.

Huaiyin mentally organized and deduced the events in the scene, and an idea gradually took shape in her mind.

Someone kidnapped people or some kind of creature and brought them here, binding them in cages. But these kidnapped creatures may have escaped, using their excrement to block the surveillance... and even pasting newspapers behind the door to prevent outsiders from spying in.

What is the purpose of doing this? Is it to lure people in to investigate, and then retaliate?

So, is that inhuman monster wandering around here now someone who was once trapped here, or a kidnapper?

At that moment, the intercom on the operating table suddenly rang.

"A brave little girl."

The voice sounded strange; it was spoken using online translation software, and it was a synthesized voice.

"I thought it would be those three men, or that dashing woman, but I didn't expect it to be you."

Huaiyin glanced back at the still-open gate, gripped her fishing rod bag tightly, and looked at the camera, asking, "Who are you? What do you want?"

Huaiyin's concise question seemed to have taken the inhuman monster by surprise. After a long while, a voice came from the other side: "Hehehe... You're really brave. Aren't you scared?"

"When you see this scene, think about it, girl. There were people who were locked up here and ignored, living like livestock, abandoning everything that made them human... They weren't even domesticated."

"What if you were the next one? It would be a bit of a waste, but I'm also kind of looking forward to it..."

Hearing these threatening and perverse words, Huaiyin's expression clearly showed disgust. She glanced at the camera and said, "Okay."

"Disgusting."

"I say, were you originally someone who was kidnapped and brought here?"

Perhaps influenced by Lu Zizhen, or perhaps she picked up some bad habits while playing online games, Huaiyin's sarcastic remarks at this moment were nothing like those of a cute and weak little girl.

"After escaping, you harbored evil intentions and even used this place to do the same thing. You're no longer human, are you? You're just a scumbag who has lost all humanity. Perhaps you should have been trapped in your own excrement and died while you were being kidnapped. You even used your own excrement to smear the walls. How disgusting."

The walkie-talkie fell silent for a long time.

After a long silence, a male voice, gritting his teeth, finally came from the other end: "I'm going to kill you... you bastard."

"No, I should still imprison you and play with you properly... I want to use you for new experiments, I want to use you..."

Huaiyin scoffed, grabbed the walkie-talkie, and said, "If this is all you're capable of, then you're utterly useless. You even have to take down a few ordinary people one by one? That's too low-class, isn't it?"

"Have you prepared any mechanisms or puzzles? Tell me about them, I'm very interested."

Perhaps it was because she had been infected by Dou Tang's confident temperament, Huai Yin gradually relaxed and chatted with the pervert opposite her with ease.

"...You're so arrogant! Do you know how much effort I put into escaping from here? I was willing to use my own excrement as a tool... What do you know, little girl!"

The voice on the other end of the walkie-talkie grew increasingly furious: "You want to challenge me? Huh? Fine, then let's see! You bastard... if you lose, I'll go and kill all your comrades!"

Huaiyin shrugged, looking nonchalant: "I don't care! Bring it on!"

Chapter 9 The Strange Monster

"Alright... then listen carefully. Next, you need to go to the second floor on the west side and find the hospital's medical records... Hehehe, watch out for the traps along the way. It would be too boring if you died before you could complete the whole process..."

"Of course, you can call on your companions, but I must warn you, the more people there are, the more difficult it will be... After all, in my opinion, those people are just good-for-nothings."

Huaiyin hung the walkie-talkie in the pocket on his chest and said coldly, "Don't get me wrong, they are all very kind people... a million times better than a piece of trash and a pervert like you."

There was no sound from the other end of the walkie-talkie.

Huaiyin took the walkie-talkie and went back to the first floor. When she got back, the senior and the others were trying to pry open the fireproof roller shutter door.

When Huaiyin returned, Linlin seemed very worried and rushed over to fuss over her, making Huaiyin feel a little embarrassed.

"So... we're trapped here by that pervert, and we have to play this game with him, right?"

After explaining what had happened, the senior colleague stroked his chin and concluded.

"What the hell?!" Suddenly, he slammed his hand on the table, his expression comical. "What kind of nonsense is this, unfolding like a third-rate late-night drama?!"

This joke eased the tension considerably.

Huaiyin smiled and said, "You all stay here and protect yourselves. I can go by myself."

"No, no, that won't do." The senior quickly waved his hand and said, "How can we let our fans take risks, especially young girls?"

“It has to be the three of us men who go.” He waved his hand and looked at the two photographers.

One of the photographers wiped his nose, seemingly a little unsure, but still cheerfully said, "You're right, we can't let the girls take risks... So, it's settled that the three of us will go?"

Huaiyin shook her head and said, "According to him, there shouldn't be too much trouble before he finishes his preparations. In that case, it would be better for us weaker girls to go first, and then if there are any dangerous situations, you men can go... What do you think?"

"After all, he said that the more people there are, the more dangerous it is, so I don't think he was just making things up."

"Even so, we can't let you go alone," the senior said, waving his hand.

Well... although these people are a bit of a hindrance to me right now, teammates like these are much, much better than those who don't say a word or only think about themselves.

It seems like I always encounter good people.

Huaiyin continued, "Alright, so who will be with me on this task of finding medical records?"

“I’ll go.” The senior nodded and said, “I also need to observe this place carefully. If there is no signal anywhere here, then we can only try to fight against that weirdo who is hiding somewhere. In that case, we should at least try to find out as much as possible about the situation.”

After making the decision, the two photographers dragged all the tables and chairs in the room into the hallway, using the tables as obstacles and the chairs as weapons, so that the rest of the people wouldn't have to stay cooped up in the room.

Huaiyin and the senior each took a flashlight and prepared to go to the second floor on the west side.

As the two gradually walked into the darkness, Huaiyin asked, "Senior, you should have scouted this place during the day, right? Why didn't you discover what's going on here?"

The senior colleague scratched his head sheepishly: "Oh dear, I only intended to record some documents and such to subtly steer the show towards the supernatural, so I didn't actually explore the entire mental hospital at all... Anyway..."

Even during the day, this place is terrifying! We don't dare explore it completely.

Huaiyin sighed.

The senior colleague felt even more ashamed and said awkwardly, "In that case, it's actually our fault... I'm really sorry to have put everyone in this embarrassing situation."

“It’s alright, it’s not your fault.” Huaiyin shook her head.

"Speaking of which, Mu Gui is really calm and has a lot of courage..." The senior swallowed and kept a watchful eye on the surroundings, but still couldn't stop chatting. He was a real chatterbox.

"I get the feeling you're really experienced with this kind of thing..."

Huaiyinxin suddenly wondered if he suspected that she wasn't a normal person or something.

The senior colleague followed up, "Does that mean you usually enjoy playing escape room games or something?"

Huaiyin suddenly felt that her worries were unnecessary.

She changed the subject, saying, "If that's the case, the senior is quite calm, you don't seem flustered at all."

The two had now passed through the central corridor and arrived at the west side of the hospital. The scene there was similar, except that the main passageway was also blocked off.

The senior figure stood on the steps of the second floor and turned around, saying, "Lying is meaningless at a time like this! A protagonist in a novel that I admire once said that panicking when facing a crisis is the most disadvantageous thing to do. Only by maintaining rationality and suppressing your emotions can you get out of danger with the highest efficiency. Even if you can't be calm and fearless, you should try your best to pretend to be fearless and give yourself some support."

He's a pretty good person.

Huaiyin made this assessment in his heart.

But then, the senior on the steps suddenly changed his expression, fell silent, and waved his hand at Huaiyin.

Huaiyin listened intently and also heard a faint noise coming from the second floor.

"Gurgle, gurgle... Awoo..."

It was the sound of chewing and swallowing.

The sound reminded Huaiyin of the damp evil spirit she had encountered before. She still clearly remembered the image of that evil spirit lying on the ground gnawing on pig marrow. Hearing a similar sound again now was undoubtedly very creepy.

The senior was still in shock and uncertainty, while Huaiyin had already drawn a knife from the fishing rod bag behind her, holding the scabbard in her left hand while biting the flashlight in her mouth.

The senior was pondering what to do next when he saw Huaiyin in front of him already... Where did that knife come from?!

Huaiyin made a shushing gesture with her free right hand, and then walked up the steps one by one.

Leaning against the edge, Huaiyin slowly peeked out and looked into the corridor.

In the middle of the corridor, there seemed to be a strange humanoid creature huddled up. The creature was hunched over and red all over, looking like a large, skinned dog. It was intently devouring the fresh meat on the ground, completely ignoring Huaiyin's flashlight beam.

By the light, Huaiyin examined the appearance of the fresh meat and was certain that it must have been put down by the strange and perverted creature here. She just didn't know what that monster was...

So this is the danger he was talking about. Does he have the means to plant such a monster throughout the entire hospital?

If there were many people here, there might be several monsters... Huaiyin always thinks of the worst-case scenario first.

At the same time, Huaiyin also noticed some things placed not far in front of him. At a glance, they were all tools, such as fire axes, shovels, and so on.

Chapter 10 Huaiyin's First Battle

Seeing those fire axes and shovels, Huaiyin roughly understood what was going on.

That weird and twisted guy seems to be planning to have us kill this monster with the weapons he gave us... Where did these monsters come from?

The answer is quite obvious; it must be related to those cages in the operating room.
