Life Dungeon Game

These guys are pretty hot.

Affection...

He Ao shook his head, dodging the claws of the corpse beneath his feet, and then stepped diagonally onto the head of another corpse. With a powerful leap, he grabbed a rope that was closer to the skylight.

The corpses below became increasingly agitated, and the few closest to He Ao almost flew up and grabbed at him.

He glanced at them, and then, as they swung the highest point, he climbed up a little, leaned forward, and cut the rope around their necks with his sword.

clap clap-

With a few muffled thuds, the corpses were flung out of the hanging carcass forest, smashing through several other corpses before landing on the ground.

He Ao also took advantage of the noise from their collision to swing up, leap out, and reach out to grab the rope closest to the skylight.

A rich, blood-red glow enveloped him almost completely, and he reached out and grasped the handle of the skylight.

In that instant, he felt his body rapidly stiffening, like a puppet losing control of his flesh and blood, and intense pain was inflicted upon him.

The crimson light outside the skylight shone, seemingly harboring some terrifying danger.

He watched all this, gripped the handle tightly, and suddenly pushed the sunroof outwards.

In that instant, the whole world suddenly spun and swayed, the howling of the corpses, the blood-red glow, and the intense pain gradually dissipated as the skylight was slowly pushed open.

The whole world seemed to be spinning, and the dizzying feeling, like being on a giant swing ride at an amusement park, filled He Ao's mind.

He felt a firm ground beneath his feet, as if he were standing on solid ground, and then his vision gradually cleared.

A simply decorated 'living room' came into view.

Although it's 'simple', this living room has everything you need: a TV, a sofa, a dining table, and some exquisite electronic paintings hanging on the walls.

Compared to the two bare single rooms He Ao had entered before, this could almost be considered a 'mansion'.

At that moment, He Ao was standing at the door of this 'mansion', his hand on the doorknob, and he pushed open the door.

He looked back and saw that there was a thick wall blocking the doorway behind him, and there was nothing there.

He shook his head and went into the house.

"Alice! Come out for dinner!"

Just then, a gentle shout came from the kitchen; it seemed to be the voice of a middle-aged man.

Immediately afterwards, a blurry figure appeared to be about to walk out of the kitchen.

In that instant, He Ao felt a strong sense of crisis. He immediately closed the door, then rushed to the locker by the door and opened it.

Then he saw a head of beautiful red hair and a pair of bewildered, wide-open eyes.

Footsteps came from inside the kitchen, as if someone was coming out.

He Ao immediately hid on the other side of the locker and closed the door.

Two people, one big and one small, squeezed into the closet, staring at each other.

"Are you... a human or a ghost...?"

The red-haired woman looked at the young boy in front of her, glanced at the blood on his body, shrank back, and asked in a low voice.

"people,"

He Ao glanced at her.

He spoke quickly, then looked at the red-haired woman with some doubt, "Are you afraid of ghosts?"

The red-haired woman nodded subconsciously, then immediately shook her head and whispered, "I'm not that scared."

"If you're afraid of ghosts, why did you come in?"

He looked at her with suspicion. Judging from the red-haired woman's initial behavior, she should know a lot about this inner church.

He paused, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Are you a believer in the eternal light?"

“I’m not one of those crazy people,”

The red-haired woman immediately straightened up, shaking her head as her chest heaved. "I'm just doing this for money, a bounty hunter, you know?"

"Yes, mercenary, I know."

He Ao nodded.

"He's a bounty hunter!"

The red-haired woman's face stiffened.

Bang—bang—

At that moment, some muffled footsteps came from outside. He Ao gestured for the red-haired woman to be quiet, then pushed the cabinet door open a crack and looked outside.

At that moment, a completely blurry, thin figure walked out of the kitchen carrying two plates of bloody ribs.

He was surrounded by a hazy, dim light, like a figure made entirely of light.

The only thing on his body that wasn't made up of this radiance was a square paper mask with a 'smiling face' drawn on it in colored pencils, which was pressed tightly against his cheek.

He Ao stared at the figure. The figure's voice was exactly the same as the 'figure' who knocked on the door in the first room. It must be that figure.

The moment the figure's gaze swept over the locker, He Ao subconsciously felt an extremely strong sense of crisis.

This smiling masked man is extremely dangerous, not only because of his appearance, but also because of a powerful, twisted force.

Within the 'spiritual vision,' the smiling masked man's body is actually connected to the entire room; in other words, he himself is a component of the room.

He might just be one of the 'rules' of this room.

"Alice? Alice?"

The smiling masked man placed the meat he was holding on the dining table and walked straight to the door of the second bedroom.

"Is this the 'monster' in this room?"

The red-haired woman peeked over and, seeing the smiling masked man walk away, lowered her voice and whispered, "Who is this 'Alice' he mentioned? Another monster?"

He Ao turned around, glanced at the red-haired woman, and asked softly, "What was your last 'room'?"

Upon hearing his question, after a brief hesitation, the red-haired woman slowly said, "It was a huge tent filled with snow. There were headless corpses of wanderers in the snow. As soon as I got close to them, they started to come back to life. It was terrifying. I hid in a broken box to get here."

As she spoke, she patted her chest with lingering fear, then asked in a low voice, "What about you?"

“It’s a closed hall,”

He Ao glanced at her and said slowly, "There are many fat pigs inside."

"Aren't there any bodies?"

The red-haired woman asked cautiously.

"Yes, they were hung from the ceiling with a noose around their necks,"

He Ao continued, still gazing outside, "They're densely packed together, swaying in the wind..."

"Alright, stop talking!"

The red-haired woman took a deep breath

"You're terrifying!" she exclaimed.

"You're so afraid of ghosts, why did you take this mission?"

He Ao asked casually.

"There's nothing we can do, they gave us too much,"

The red-haired woman lowered her voice, cautiously leaning against the edge of the door crack, "So there are two monsters in this room, one is this masked man, and the other is that one called 'Alice'?"

"uncertain."

He Ao stared outside.

Neither of them was as stiff as they had been at the beginning.

The exchange we just had was a mutual inquiry, which was actually building a foundation of mutual trust.

The red-haired woman was not a believer in the eternal light, and he also deduced from the way Heo asked that Heo was not a believer in the eternal light either.

Therefore, both the eternal esoteric sects that guarded the church and the eternal old sects that attacked the church were outsiders.

Given the fanaticism of these believers, they are likely to attack indiscriminately, which would give them a reason to form an alliance.

Although the two had their own thoughts at the moment, they shared a common goal before reaching the core of the church.

"Alice, I bought some fresh steak today, it tastes absolutely delicious."

The door to the second bedroom opened, and a smiling masked figure emerged from the bedroom, seemingly leading a child.

But there was no one beside him; he was talking and laughing to thin air.

Upon witnessing this bizarre scene, the red-haired woman's body visibly stiffened.

She glanced at the smiling masked man walking towards the dining table, then turned to He Ao, "There should be some kind of hiding place in this room leading to the next room. Shall we go find it now?"

What she meant was to try everything, one by one.

"You got here using this method?"

He Ao looked at her with a puzzled expression.

The red-haired woman pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "This is the only way now."

The implication is that she had previously known a way to quickly pass through other rooms.

He Ao remembered her disc prop.

"It seems you arrived in this room before me,"

The red-haired woman looked at He Ao and asked, "Is there a faster way to get through?"

"Rely on reasoning."

He Ao said calmly.

The red-haired woman revealed some information to him, and he responded with some information in return.

reasoning?

The red-haired woman was momentarily stunned.
