The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 429: Dusted Memories and Old Friends (asking for monthly tickets)

The environment of the ruins here is actually quite depressing.

There was clearly a moon hanging in the sky, casting a large amount of moonlight, but the environment gave people the illusion that it was quite dim.

From time to time, there were drops of rain in the air that were blown by the wind, making crackling sounds and feeling bone-chillingly cold.

After a while, a hoarse roar of some animal came from somewhere, or it was the sad wail of a woman, or perhaps it was the mermaid in the sewer singing?
All in all, there is something weird everywhere here, as if evil eyes are hidden in the dark corners on all sides, peeping at you wantonly, making it difficult for people to suppress the panic in their hearts.

But after all, the name of the ruins is [One Hundred Demons Night Parade], so it is normal for the atmosphere to be a little weird. It is an understandable and reasonable phenomenon.

Xu Shu relied on the three lives of the [Super Dimension Mode], and although he was always cautious, he was not particularly cowardly - this was the confidence brought by the strength of the human list.

Even so, when this familiar hospital appeared before his eyes, Xu Shu was still alert.

He had a deep impression of the hospital and got to know many people there, such as the old director of the B-ultrasound department, the vice president who was over 50 years old, the strong and handsome fitness coach, the politician with a beastly heart, etc. He could be said to be a man of great learning and conversation, and he had many contacts with people of all kinds.

That’s right, this is where Kamiya Ichiru’s cheap father Kamiya Gono works. In 2105, Kamiya Ichiru was also born in this hospital.

Of course that's not the point.

The point is...

"Tsk, this hospital looks eerie and scary. There's a very dangerous atmosphere hidden inside. Let me take a look..."

"Butcher" Ainz took over the conversation and nodded to Xu Shu who had stopped on his own initiative. Then he closed his eyes, his ears trembling slightly, and the blood energy around him began to spread around like thick fog.

Seeing this, the other teammates fell silent in tacit agreement. They all knew that this was Bloodlust at full power, and that Ainz was silently evaluating the value of exploring this hospital.

As the third stage of the "Rogue" path, the 'Bloodlust' skill allows him to sense danger in advance, and in the team, he takes on the responsibility of scouting targets and assessing risks.

In large ruins, you not only have to search for enemies, but you also have to assess the surrounding dangers to avoid a situation where you just tried your best to kill a monster, only to be taken advantage of by other enemies who rushed in after hearing the news.

The key is how to eliminate the enemy without causing too much noise or attracting siege from other monsters around, and ensure that you can escape safely after victory.

After a moment, Ainz opened his eyes and said with a bright look in his eyes, "Ha! I missed it. This hospital is actually a monster base! There are more than five level 3 monsters in it!

“In addition, there are quite a few level one and two monsters, and the nearest monster stronghold is two kilometers away, which is not particularly close.

"Haha, Brother Xu has a good eye. How did you know that this is actually a monster stronghold? What do you think? Do you want to go?"

With a happy expression on his face, he looked at Xu Shu and Xie Xiaochan expectantly.

It can be seen that in Ainz's opinion, this hospital is well worth exploring and has a lot of value!
Although this trip was for the "trigger" in Xie Xiaochan's hand that could open the secret realm, if there was something to be found along the way, it would naturally not be missed.

After all, no one knows what the situation is inside the entrance to the special ruins, but the five "lone" third-level monsters in front of us are real.

As soon as these words were spoken, the rest of the people also started to get ready.

There were nine third-level people in his group, not only was there a strong man like "The Man of the Weird Dao" on the human list, but the rest of them were still in the early third-level, but they were all quite powerful.

"Uh..." Seeing everyone's expectant expressions, Xu Shu was stunned for a moment and hesitated.

He was the first to notice the strangeness of the hospital and stopped here.

But actually I stopped there because I was familiar with this hospital. I never thought about "revisiting" at the beginning.

Now, when Xu Shu heard Ainz say that there were five third-level monsters inside, he felt quite surprised.

According to my memory, this hospital should be quite ordinary and mediocre.

Even in a place like a bar, the manager who was once just a mortal has mutated into a second-level evil spirit, but it is still within the range that is not exaggerated.

But the second order and the third order are not at the same level. The former is still a low sequence, while the third order has leaped to the middle sequence.

At first, he was just a mortal. After settling down in the ruins, he mutated and became a first-level being. With a little effort, he can become a second-level being. This is normal.

But, it turned into a medium sequence, and there were five of them at once?
Isn't this a bit exaggerated?
Moreover, I clearly remember that this hospital had no involvement of any supernatural elements back then. How come it has become a monster stronghold now?
Xu Shu touched his chin, puzzled.

But he soon stopped hesitating. Just because it was a secular place back then didn't mean it would remain so in the future. After all, the hospital had a lot of dead bodies, which might not have come from the morgue itself. Maybe they came from other places? The past was the past, and the present is the present!
Thinking of this, Xu Shu rubbed his hands, but still asked to confirm: "The risk factor is not high?"

Ainz licked his lips and said with a grin, "Don't worry, Brother Xu. Nine level threes versus five level threes. The advantage is on our side!"

"Really?"

Xu Shu glanced at the Taichu volume thoughtfully. It only said [You have discovered a strange base. This is where you were born. It’s time to return to your hometown!], and there was no line like "Oh my God".

Besides, this Ainz seems very confident. I should trust him for once. After all, he is the "butcher" and sensing danger is his specialty. I can't underestimate my teammates. I'm sure they are quite curious about this place... Xu Shu rolled his eyes and nodded, saying, "Well, let's go in! I'll lead the way!"

As he said this, he took the lead and crossed the street
Gu Yueming followed behind him and stretched out his hand to give him a "blessing".

The rest of the people lined up in a row, following the old rules, with "Dragon Elephant" Yan Shan covering the rear.

Just like that, a group of nine third-level masters sneaked in through the hospital gate like mice sneaking in the dark night.

Bang!

As soon as I entered the door, a cold and gloomy atmosphere hit me in the face.

The hospital was filled with ghosts and there were a lot of crying sounds.

"Woah~ woah~"

"Mom~Mom!"

These crying sounds were heard in almost every corner. It was simply the sound of infant spirits crying evilly. Most people would probably be scared to death on the spot if they came in.

Xu Shu's expression froze for a moment, and he subconsciously glanced at the Taichu Volume.

There were lines of writing on it, which read:

[You enter the hospital and hear a lot of babies crying. It seems that there are too many stillbirths here.]

[It turns out that this hospital has always had a bad practice. Children often suffer torture in the womb. Those who can't bear the pressure of being peeped in naturally die in the womb. Finally, under the terror of the disaster, they turn into earthbound spirits and linger.]

[But this is nothing to worry about, right? What are you surprised about? Don't you know the truth about this kind of thing? ]

"Fuck, you should be more careful with your words! What do you mean I don't know? People who don't know would think I did it! I'm one of the victims!"

Xu Shu complained bitterly in his heart.

However, the evaluation of Taichu Volume is not wrong, and there is really nothing to worry about.

Although there are many evil spirits here, if a team of level one or two comes in, it is indeed a dangerous place with big hearts and great evil.

Back when Xu Shu and a group of second-level teammates entered the ruins, a hundred or so first-level "ghost soldiers" could scare the team into fleeing in panic. But things are different now!

They are all level three masters at this moment, and the team composition is perfect.

Ning Zhaoxuan, a third-level "Soul Catcher", is enough to handle the current situation perfectly.

He just waved his hand, and the air became filled with undercurrents. All the infant spirits that dared to approach were reduced to ashes under his "transfer to the afterlife".

Some of them can leave behind white or green crystals, and occasionally blue ones, but I have never seen purple quality ones.

"Awesome, this is called professional matching!" Xu Shu sighed secretly.

If it is a second-level creature, it can be easily killed by a first-level creature. If about ten first-level creatures work together, they will have a chance to kill a second-level creature.

Even someone as strong as Xu Shu was killed by the first-level monsters when he first entered the second level.

But if a third-level master comes to attack a first-level master, it becomes a pure dimensionality reduction attack. These infant spirits really don't have any ability to resist at all.

Ning Zhaoxuan even found the time to find and fish out a sleeping mermaid from the nearby sewer and gave it to Xu Shu.

What this means is that if you encounter a "corpse spirit" or a "cursed spirit" later, you will still have to use "Man".

Xu Shu had no objection and was even happy about it, as he just wanted to collect the strange Buddhist characters found in the bodies of these mermaids.

He carried the mermaid under his armpit and walked forward, not forgetting to observe her. He came to the conclusion: the legs of this one were not as comfortable as the previous one, they were too thin and had no fleshiness.

In this way, Xu Shu admired his teammates for being so helpful while helping to pick up the small crystals that fell along the way.

After walking around the first floor of the hospital several times, the scene had become much quieter.

The miserable cries of the evil babies could no longer be heard, and more than a dozen second-level Yin generals and corpse generals were seized.

Ning Zhaoxuan was responsible for ferrying these evil spirits across, while the corpse generals were restrained by Xie Xiaochan's talismans and were crushed past without any danger.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Shu has not encountered any evil spirits with suffixes along the way, which they call "corpse spirits" or "cursed spirits", which makes Xu Shu quite disappointed.

At this time, Ainz made a shushing gesture, pointed downwards, and whispered, "There's a powerful person who came up from the basement to see. There's only one, and he's alone! The other dangerous auras are still lingering on the top floor, and I haven't sensed any fluctuations for the time being."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although their overall strength is stronger than those in the stronghold, defeating them one by one is of course the best option!

At that moment, everyone looked at each other and hid their bodies on both sides of the elevator with the help of some service desks.

Xie Xiaochan, Jiang Biyun and Gu Yueming hid on the left, while Ainz, Ning Zhaoxuan and Lin Zhengxing gathered on the right.

Yan Shan and Xiao Yingrong ran to the rear to guard against sneak attacks from behind, and everyone had their own division of labor.

At first glance, it seemed that Xu Shu was the only one left at the scene, standing blatantly at the entrance of the elevator that had long been out of power.

“Here they come!” Ainz pressed his palm to remind Xu Shu.

Xu Shu nodded.

When I looked up, I heard a creaking sound ahead and a crooked figure, who looked drunk, was walking towards me.

He seemed to sense that a large number of evil spirits and corpses had been killed in the hospital. From a distance, he saw Xu Shu and said with a slight accent:
"I heard someone was causing trouble right from the beginning, and I thought it was just some small fry, but I didn't expect it to be a good opponent. Hey, did you do all this?"

"Heh." Xu Shu narrowed his expression.

With eighteen years of experience as a "Kamiya Ichi-ryu" it was not difficult for him to understand the other party's language.

Sure enough, the stronger the "evil spirit", the more consciousness it will recover from its previous life. At first glance, this third-level guy in front of him is almost indistinguishable from a living person.

However, Xu Shu was not prepared to answer the other party's question.

Who would waste time talking to an opponent who is about to die?

The only thing worth caring about is where this guy came from and why he chose to stay in this hospital?

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, this person appeared completely in Xu Shu's sight, with no intention of hiding himself at all.

This is a middle-aged man wearing a neat black shirt and several medals on both shoulders. He should be a police officer.

He had a buzz cut and his face was angular as if it had been cut by a knife or an axe. There were no pupils in his eyes, and the entire eye sockets were filled with a horrible, bloodless paleness that made people shudder.

"Hey, I'm asking you a question. Foreigners are so rude nowadays. You don't even answer questions, you bastard!"

The middle-aged man cursed while raising his hand that was holding the head. He took a deep breath on it and swallowed it down.

It was a human head, obviously belonging to a transcendent who came here to conquer the ruins but unfortunately died.

His face was filled with fear and despair. There was a big hole on the top of his head, and his blood plasma and brain marrow were swallowed like wine.

Seeing this, Xu Shu fixed his gaze on the man who looked like the "Corpse King" and suddenly said, "Long time no see, Chief Sasaki."

"Long time no see, you...uh?" Hearing this, the middle-aged man suddenly stopped.

His eyelids twitched, the pale eyeballs inside rolled wildly, the blue-veined skin on his face twitched, and he kept shaking his neck, only able to make intermittent sounds: "You, know, me?"

His voice suddenly became stuttering, as if Xu Shu's greeting had plunged him into great confusion and contradiction. All of a sudden, the seemingly normal living person turned into a dilapidated and stuck machine.

"Yes, I know you. It's a pity to see you again in such an occasion. Please allow me to mourn your death for a second. I have some questions to ask you, but you don't look very good and don't seem to be able to answer me, so..."

Xu Shu nodded first, then glanced at the human head in the other person's hand that was used as a wine jug, and then continued to condense his voice into a beam, and transmitted his voice, "So, you can die completely."

After saying that, he pressed forward and hit him hard with an extremely violent attitude.

Damn it!
"???"

I saw a huge elbow coming into view and smashing towards me with unstoppable force, as if a mountain was collapsing before my eyes.

Sasaki's non-existent pupils dilated wildly, and he felt an extremely terrifying sense of oppression!

He wanted to fight back, but found that under the pressure of such terrible momentum, his speed was strongly suppressed, and he had no time to resist. In the end, he could only say a few words in his slow head.

"Fuck, how do you know I can't answer without asking me???"

The next second, with a loud "bang", this former old friend, Inspector Sasaki, was knocked to the ground by Xu Shu.

The strong body of "Corpse Evil" exploded like tofu dregs, shattered into pieces, turned into heroic fragments, and shot in all directions!
