Life Dungeon Game

The lights in the fire escape had long been broken, and the silent darkness seemed to swallow everything.

Ahead lay a dark, beast-like staircase, and behind him, a monster was chasing after him. Yorn felt his legs trembling so badly he could barely stand.

All he wants to do now is climb back into the elevator.

However, He Ao did not give him a choice and pulled him down the stairs.

sizzle-

Yorn seemed to hear the sound of the monster crawling rapidly along the wall behind him.

"Brother, brother, we can take the elevator."

Yorn felt like a kite being pulled along in the darkness, drifting down the stairs.

"The time you spend waiting for the elevator is enough for it to kill you."

He Ao said calmly.

Yorn's apartment is on the 13th floor. The fire escape is unused year-round, and only a few stairwell lights along the way are still working.

He'ao was incredibly fast, pulling Yorn along as they flashed past. In the dim light of the stairwell, Yorn could always catch a glimpse of the twisted limbs hidden in the shadows.

Sometimes when he turns a corner, he can see a limb suddenly dart out and almost grab him.

He felt it was truly brave of him not to faint.

Thirteen floors isn't a lot, but it's not a little either.

Although Yorn felt as if ten thousand years had passed in that short period of time, in reality the minutes on his bracelet had barely ticked.

The door to the fire escape was right in front of us, locked with a rusty iron lock.

The lights on the first floor are working.

As the exit drew ever closer, a flicker of joy rose within Jon as he thought about escaping death.

Then he heard a bang, and the locked door to the fire escape was kicked open.

A bald man, his body covered in machinery and shimmering with light, slowly walked in.

The gang members upstairs are just the 'eyes'; the real killer is downstairs.

"Kid, I heard you killed the head of the FBI's Class D cybernetic prosthetics?" The man clenched his fist, his body emitting a mechanical, twisting sound. "Let me test your mettle."

He raised his hand, ready to deliver a close-range laser cannon shot to He Ao.

The instant he raised his hand, a short sword gleaming with cold light pierced through his body.

Then, amidst his bewildered gaze, He Ao drew his sword, brushed past him, and disappeared into the exit.

The sword did not penetrate his energy core, but it damaged his main control board, rendering him temporarily immobile and unable to use his weapons.

He struggled to turn his body using the backup control panel, trying to leave, but was instantly grabbed by the surging body behind him.

Countless fleshy limbs tore and ripped at his mechanical body, and some hands even reached into the wound that He Ao had just pierced.

Although his prosthetic body was very strong, all his powerful offensive weapons were unable to be activated at the moment, and he had been left with piercing wounds on his body, leaving him to be torn apart by his twisted limbs.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

He struggled desperately to break free, but the more he was pulled, the tighter the rope became, until he was submerged in a dense mass of heads.

Extremely low whispers echoed in the space.

This monster seems to have gotten a little stronger.

One body after another rushed out of the passage, looked around, and chased after the two shadows that had disappeared into the night.

"Brother, brother, brother, that monster is chasing us again."

As Jon was being dragged along, he stared in horror at the enormous black shadow behind him.

Unbound by the architecture, the monster finally stretched out its limbs completely, its enormous shadow obscuring the light, like a twisted flower blooming in the night.

Twisted faces, some clutching metal shards, others pieces of flesh, stared wide-eyed.

Jon was watching them.

Yorn felt that the monster had followed them around once, and it became even more terrifying.

Some of the heads even tore open their flesh to show him a 'smile,' and he could even see the bloody flesh between the teeth beneath those smiles.

The streetlights on the road they were walking on were still working, though they weren't very bright.

With each passing streetlamp, the dim light illuminates part of the head, while the other part remains hidden in darkness.

Yorn found this even more terrifying.

Fortunately, Heo was quite fast, and although the monster was biting them tightly from behind, it never managed to bite Jon.

However, Jorn's relief lasted for less than a moment.

As he stared at the monster behind him, a loudspeaker blared from the direction in front of them.

“Listen up, you’re surrounded. This is the FBI. Put down your weapons and surrender immediately. If you have any grievances, the federal court will give you justice. Now, put down your weapons and surrender.”

When that voice of advice rang out, Jon suddenly realized that the brother who had pulled him to safety was now worth two hundred thousand.

With wolves in front and tigers behind, Jon suddenly felt that his future was bleak.

If Heo pauses even slightly, he will be bitten by the monster behind him; if Heo doesn't stop, the FBI agents in front will definitely open fire. Heo will most likely be fine, but he will most likely be shot to death.

pick one of two.

I never imagined I would have the right to choose how I die.

wrong,

Jorn suddenly realized that the decision of whether to go or stay was not his own.

Just then, He Ao, who was holding him, suddenly whispered, "Hold on tight."

"what?"

Immediately afterwards, he felt as if he could hear the sound of the wind.

The wind tore open his mouth, slapped his face, and turned all his words into...

Arururururu—

Before the FBI agents outside could react, they saw a dark shadow streak across the sky, accompanied by a strange cry, break out of their encirclement, and disappear into the alleyway.

Before anyone could react, an even larger one appeared in the light.

"what is that?"

"Monster! It's a monster!"

"It's a monster! A monster invasion!"

"Shoot! Shoot!"

In the brief moment of panic, the agents reacted quickly and opened fire on the massive black shadow.

Some skilled agents immediately climbed onto the vehicle, pulled out miniature laser cannons, and aimed them at the shadowy figure.

With flashes of light, the monster, which seemed poised to charge into the crowd, stopped in its tracks.

Twisted limbs fell to the ground, instantly turning into rotting bones that emitted a putrid stench.

"what!!!"

It was as if the sound of human screams of pain suddenly exploded in everyone's ears, and this painful sound seemed to take them into a blood-red world full of whispers.

The FBI agents present were briefly disoriented and panicked.

Taking advantage of the moment of panic, the monster stopped attacking and retreated sharply, running wildly into the night.

The monster wasn't stupid; it knew to retreat when faced with a stronger opponent.

The reason I chased after He Ao was because He Ao didn't seem to be very strong, and

It always stays within easy reach.

As the monster disappeared into the shadows, the FBI agents quickly regained their senses.

"What was that monster just now?"

"It looks like a strange beast?"

"How can a strange beast look like a human?"

"Where's Nell? Weren't we here to arrest Nell? Where is he?"

······

While the FBI was in a panic, Heo had already pulled Jon away and turned back onto the street, running all the way deeper into it.

"Brother, brother, why did we come back? That monster is still here. If we deliver it up there, it'll just become takeout!"

Jorn, breathless, was finally able to rest. Leaning against the wall, he felt as if he was about to ascend to heaven.

He Ao crouched down, glanced at the small pool of blood stained with red light on the ground, and slowly stood up.

"It should be right here."

"Aren't you afraid?"

Yorn, panting heavily, looked at his friend and suddenly realized that his friend had remained calm and seemed unaware of fear.

Could this guy be an exorcist instead of a night assassin?

"I'm an apprentice by day and a gigolo by night; I'm actually the last exorcist in the world."

Ah, why does it have to be the Cowherd?

Yorn looked up at Ho.

At this moment, He Ao's gaze was cold and his posture was upright. He pressed down on the hilt of the short sword stuck in his left hand and stared into the depths of the night. Madness and loneliness were intertwined in his deep pupils.

Although Nell's looks are only average to above average, his mysterious aura, combined with the fitted trench coat, greatly enhances his appearance, making even Jon think he's incredibly handsome.
