Alien Executioner

The door to the 11th floor in front of me was actually open and not blocked. Inside looked to be a complete office area. Transparent glass walls separated the various areas, and a straight corridor in the middle led to the elevator corridor.

She walked in holding the small flashlight she had scavenged from the guards, and a faint voice in her heart warned her not to go to the bottom of the iron ladder behind her, otherwise something irreversible would happen.

Chapter 102: The Wrath of the Shoggoth (VIII)

An orange billboard stood at the entrance of the hall. An Xiao raised his flashlight to illuminate the star on the billboard. She had dazzling blonde hair, a bright red knee-length skirt, and long black stockings. She was a model who was even more stunning than the Miss World Pageant.

No matter how beautiful a model is, it is still fake when printed on a billboard.

She turned her head and shone deep into the hall, all the way along the middle corridor, and saw messy desks in the office and working area, computers placed crookedly, the mouse was nowhere to be found, and there were even coffee cups emitting steam, the air was filled with the smell of life.

Before the power was cut off, there should have been many civil servants in this building, handling family affairs for the Tananya family. They evacuated quickly after receiving the crisis warning. Due to their haste, documents were scattered all over the floor, and there were shoes thrown away everywhere, mostly high heels. It seems that most of the clerks here are women.

An Xiao picked up the documents on the ground and flipped through them casually, not expecting to find out any big secrets about the Tananiya family. These documents were all marked in Russian, and using the Russian she had learned while fishing in troubled waters to translate them, they all seemed to be insignificant content.

It was a good thing that the staff had retreated, which meant that there was a way to leave this floor. She was not sure if the Crow man had set his sights on her. Perhaps the endless stream of family servants was trying to stop him. The most urgent task now was to stay away from the other side's home ground.

She threw the document down and looked up in shock. A familiar girl was squatting in front of her.

"Gu Zhi...Lan?"

When An Xiao saw the girl suddenly appear in front of him, he couldn't help but say the name, and his shocked eyes slowly relaxed. It turned out that they just looked like each other.

The girl crouched at the edge of the glass wall in the office area in fear, trying to escape without making any noise. She looked like a student around 16 years old, with a childish face. She had waist-length black hair and deep black eyes.

The girl was hiding from An Xiao. She was wearing a white shirt that obviously didn't fit her, with a blue ribbon badge on her collar. She seemed to be an employee of the building who didn't have time to escape. She stared at An Xiao with wide eyes, trying to create a fierce threat.

An Xiao stared at her expressionlessly for three seconds. The girl gave up her resistance and raised her hands in surrender, almost bursting into tears.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me. I have a lot of money! I can give it all to you... Please don't kill me!"

"Why are you here?" An Xiao dimmed the flashlight, walked to the girl and looked down at her to make sure it was not a trap.

The girl's reaction seemed to treat her as a vicious terrorist. If she knew clearly that she was an executive, she would not have said such words as paying money to save her life. This indirectly shows that the civilian staff here may not be aware of this.

"I'm a temporary worker here, just an employee. I don't know anything, really nothing!" The girl closed her eyes and shook her head, speaking in unfluent Federal Mandarin, and picked up the tag with her right hand to testify that she was not lying.

"Are you the only one here?"

"Everyone evacuated because there was a sudden power outage. The manager said the family affairs building was attacked, so everyone left. I wanted to leave, but the manager said I had to leave behind and take away important documents... These are the documents. I really don't know anything else."

The girl fumbled around on the ground with her eyes closed. An Xiao was silent for half a second, then bent down to pick up the so-called documents at her feet. In fact, they were just some old file bags. He opened the bags and took out new papers, which were densely written in Russian.

"Yes, these are the documents." The girl opened her eyes bravely. Because the flashlight shone directly at her, she couldn't see An Xiao's face, and she vaguely felt that the other person was a young girl of the same age.

An Xiao was silent for a few seconds and threw these so-called important documents to the ground. "Can you understand Russian?"

"I don't really understand... The teacher who taught me Russian was actually the manager, but I just couldn't learn it no matter how he taught me." The girl looked disappointed and talked about a bad topic.

"The important documents the manager asked you to get are actually just the instructions for reinstalling the computer system." An Xiao looked at the weak and pitiful girl, "Either you were fooled by the manager, or you got the wrong documents."

"No wonder the manager always scolded me before. I was too stupid to learn anything and didn't understand anything." The girl didn't doubt the manager at all. Facing An Xiao squatting in fear in the corner, she said, "Ms. Killer, I don't have any money. Can you please not kill me?"

Is this a little kid... An Xiao's mood suddenly became complicated. The girl was not a local, and judging from her accent, she was not from the Third District. She was old enough to be in high school, but she came to the Tananiya family to work as a temporary worker.

She sighed. She was still not used to her elder brother's cold and expressionless face. She said in a much calmer tone, "I'm not a killer. I'm an executive."

"Executive?" The girl was skeptical, but the nervousness in her eyes remained the same.

An Xiao adjusted the flashlight to the lowest setting, but it was still blinding. She had to say the guards were really well equipped. She had no choice but to turn the flashlight in a different direction so that it would not be blinding but still allow the girl to see herself clearly.

She pointed to her face and said, "I am a bona fide executive."

"I know you, you're An Xiao." The girl was surprised. She stood up excitedly, but because she had been squatting for too long, her legs were sore that she fell into An Xiao's arms.

A strange fragrance filled An Xiao's nose, so warm and familiar that it made him feel dazed.

"Sorry, sorry, sir, my legs are so sore, can you help me?" The girl's voice woke her up.

"What's your name?" An Xiao held the girl's body. She was indeed just a married woman with three (four) children. At the age of 16, her body was not fully developed yet, soft and fragrant. She lowered her head so that her long hair drooped, covering half of her face. For a moment, she looked like a combination of Anya and Gu Zhilan.

"Xiao Meiye, this is my name." The girl raised her head and stepped back from An Xiao's arms, bowing apologetically, "I'm sorry for misunderstanding you, I didn't mean it, it's been very uneasy here recently, people are in a panic, so..."

It really sounded like a conversation in an anime, which felt weird and made An Xiao very uncomfortable.

She had an instinctive sense of intimacy with this girl. She didn't know why, perhaps it was the fragrance that was similar to her elder sister's. Could it be that all these weak girls had the same scent?

An Xiao was having some wild thoughts.

"Oh, by the way, please come with me, sir. I heard a lot of gunshots before. This building has really been invaded." The girl lowered her voice and looked around. "Miss sir, it seems that you are alone and can't deal with those armed thugs."

An Xiaoxin said that the reason why those armed thugs opened fire was because of me, and the so-called intruder was actually the executive lady in front of you. There were not only gunshots but also corpses outside...

She felt that she shouldn't tell Akemi the truth. If she knew that she had been living with a family of monsters, she would definitely collapse given her weak personality.

"Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy? Just because I say I'm an executive officer doesn't mean it's true. There are bad guys among executive officers too."

She regretted it as soon as she finished speaking. Xiao Meiye disappeared in a flash and ran to the elevator at the end of the corridor. She waved over here, and her shy smile still revealed her nervousness and uneasiness. An Xiao knew that she was overthinking. This girl she met for the first time was like a little monster who was timid and afraid of everyone.

There was insecurity in the girl's eyes.

"Here." Akeno turned around, picked up the tag and swiped it through the access control system, but there was no response.

An Xiao was slightly moved. There were indeed not many girls as stupid as her in this era.

"Strange, why doesn't it work?" Akeno swiped the access control repeatedly in distress.

An Xiao really wanted to remind people that the power supply to the building had been cut off, and the only ways in and out were the iron ladder emergency passage or breaking the glass and jumping off the building, but she didn't remind them. Instead, she held her breath and listened.

She heard strange noises and footsteps at an indeterminate distance, someone was approaching.

Chapter 103: The Wrath of the Shoggoth (Part )

Akemi turned around, surprised by the sudden silence. With her ordinary hearing, she could not detect the approaching footsteps, which were as deadly as those of a ninja, hiding in the darkness as if blending in. By the time she discovered them, it was already too late.

She only knew that this wealthy young lady whom she had seen on TV suddenly had a serious expression on her face and stared intently to the right. To the right was office area B. The flashlight shone through the glass wall, illuminating the empty and messy interior, with nothing inside.

"Is there something wrong?" Xiao Meiye couldn't help but get closer to An Xiao. She was half a head shorter than An Xiao, but her development had already begun to show.

An Xiao made a vague gesture, reached behind his waist, and tightly gripped the handle of the pistol he had taken from the guard.

She was sure she heard footsteps, they must be footsteps, as if walking in the darkness, but she was not sure whether the other party was a freak or a human.

If it were just freaks, it would be fine. These irrational species would pounce on them without hesitation and then be killed by the Devouring Warrior. But if it were humans, it would be bad. Most of them would be holding guns. When the executive officer faces damage caused by the gun, he can solve the dilemma by binge eating, but it will also give the other party the initiative.

She was unsure of the other party's distance, so drawing her gun was the most correct option at this time. She turned the flashlight to the highest setting and shone it upwards. The blinding white light illuminated the ceiling and the entire office area.

At that moment, a figure flashed across the wall and disappeared.

An Xiao noticed that the girl next to him was trembling with fear and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I, I saw a monster!"

Akeno was so scared that she pressed herself against the elevator door, her eyes always looking in that direction.

"Just now he was not far from you, just... in front of that table. He had a crow head. Soon, the light shone on him and he disappeared in an instant."

An Xiao followed her gaze and saw that there was indeed a desk nearby in office area B. It was an iron desk against the glass wall, with a computer and a phone on it. It seemed to be a difficult workstation to slack off, and the leader could see it as he got out of the elevator.

Didn’t the Crow Man get rid of it? This was more troublesome than she thought.

"Let's go quickly. Is there any other way besides the elevator?"

An Xiao lowered his voice, quickly scanning every corner he could see, and kept the flashlight in his hand shining on the ceiling. The refracted light was enough to prevent the Crow People from approaching silently.

The darkness is unsettling.

Akemi nods, and the moment she sees the strange scene, she realizes the situation she might be facing. This building might be hiding stolen things, alien species or some monsters, and then she realizes that the executive officer would not appear for no reason.

She led An Xiao past the elevator and headed for the emergency passage. When they passed the toilet, the wooden door squeaked back and forth in the wind, as if there was something inside. At the intersection of the corridor, Xiao Meiye chose the right side, but the door at the end was locked.

"How could this happen?" Akeno was very frustrated.

The iron door of the security passage was locked from the outside, which seemed to be intentional, because there were scattered documents and half a shoe on the ground, indicating that the employees were indeed evacuated from here. Due to the rush of time, they had to abandon their burdens, and some even had their shoes squeezed off.

Akeno felt empty inside. She didn't expect that her colleagues would choose to abandon her in the end. It was her manager who clearly told her to hurry up and take away important documents. Those documents were actually unimportant instructions for reinstalling the computer system. At first, she still believed that it was her fault and didn't listen carefully to the manager's instructions... Until the iron gate of the only safe passage was blocked, even the dumbest person would have reacted.

The deep darkness in her pupils gradually sank, like a lonely rabbit. Rabbits, like birds, will become depressed due to loneliness.

An Xiao thought to herself, this is really troublesome.

She knew how girls felt, because she herself was a girl, and she knew clearly how girls would react when they were upset. Well-behaved girls would always silently accuse themselves, hiding all their thoughts in their hearts to fill the void, saying nothing, and being absent-minded was the norm.

An Xiao doesn't want Xiao Mino to become a burden to him, and is ready to fight the Crow People at any time, and there can't be any mistakes before that.

She really wanted to take the girl out, thinking it would be too pitiful if Akemi died. The two of them had only known each other for ten minutes and were actually just accidental strangers in each other's life. They were not even strangers like delivery men, but just passers-by. After evacuating the building, they would probably go home separately... But she just didn't want Akemi to die.

Maybe it’s that inexplicable sense of intimacy.

"Maybe someone else locked the door. The manager must have been worried about you." She mentioned another possibility, and the sword in her hand dispersed and condensed into a pitch-black spear.

She signaled Akeno to step back. The meteorite could pierce the super alien's phagocytes without any hindrance. It would be much easier to break through unreinforced obstacles like the iron door of the safe passage, but it would be a bit difficult.

It would be easy to hurt Xiao Meiye in the process of piercing the iron gate. Xiao Meiye also understood An Xiao's intention and dodged to the other side.

The iron door cracked with a sound. The door to the safety passage was very thin and easy to break. In the early stages of the design, the problem of how people inside could get out if it was locked was considered. There would usually be a special saw inside that was enough to saw it open.

The iron gate was now shaky, and An Xiao's method of breaking it was simple and crude. The entire door had been bent and deformed. He only needed to kick it open to leave this hellhole and reach the first floor square along the safe passage.

An Xiao's eyes suddenly became sharp. He hugged Xiao Meiye and jumped back. The deformed iron door was knocked open. With a loud bang, a sharp sword was seen from the outside!

She flew back with the girl, but her shoulder was still cut by the sword. Fortunately, it was only a skin injury and only a few drops of blood flowed out.

The flashlight fell to the ground and was smashed by a giant tail. In the last second before the light went out, they saw the monster coming in from outside the door.

It was actually a half-snake monster! The monster crawled in with a three-meter-long snake tail, and its two arms were sharp like swords. They were not swords but claws, and each claw was nearly thirty centimeters long!

Darkness enveloped the surroundings again. An Xiao flashed into the darkness, squatted in the corner and covered Xiao Mino's mouth.

As an executive, she has received professional training and can remain calm and silent even in extreme situations. Akeno is just an ordinary person, a minor girl at that. She trembles with fear and always has a sense of insecurity about speaking out.

Just as she was about to kill the monster, she heard some noise coming from the stairwell below the safety passage and immediately concluded that there was more than one monster.

The half-snake monster dragged its long tail and looked around, searching for the target. The moon came out outside, and it was blood red. The blood-red light shone on the monster, and the huge and terrifying outline suddenly stopped moving.

Since I couldn't see clearly, I could only tell the direction the monster was facing by its outline.

But at this moment, the outline of the half-snake monster was very vague. It seemed to be looking at the moon outside, or it seemed to be staring at An Xiao in the corner.

An Xiao felt a dull pain in her shoulder and her face changed slightly. The few drops of blood that had just flowed had actually betrayed her.

The half-snake monster is waiting for its companions! It is intelligent and knows that the prey it wants to hunt has the ability to fight back. It does not want to risk getting hurt, or is afraid of being killed, but is unwilling to give up, so it deliberately pretends that it has not discovered the prey, so that the prey can relax its vigilance.

An Xiao immediately took off her windbreaker and threw it out into a ball. The half-snake monster immediately pounced on the clothes. She leaped up and attacked from above. The meteorite pierced its head, and its crying-like wails attracted the group of monsters outside.

Chapter 104: The Wrath of the Shoggoth (X)

All the monsters outside were attracted, and the roar that was no different from a flood almost drowned An Xiao.

Before she could pull out the meteorite that had pierced the monster's head, a shadow flashed behind her. The shadow was huge and enveloping, and its terrifying claws seemed to be able to tear a tank apart. When it was about to pierce the back of An Xiao's head, she bent her legs and sank, and the Devouring Weapon condensed into the form of a long sword.

The collision of knives and blades could actually create sparks. Although the savage half-snake monsters had cunning wisdom and hunting tactics, they were absolutely unable to comprehend the tricks of fighting. They could only roar and tear their prey apart with violence.

An Xiao took advantage of this. It was difficult to confront the monster head-on with strength alone. He used his long sword to attack the side of the sharp blade, and then slashed continuously with the same trajectory. The second and third slashes left traces of corrosion with each strike.

The hunting instinct of the freak was aroused, and it wanted to resist the counterattack of its prey. When other freaks rushed over, it even flicked its tail to drive them away, twisted its neck and roared, indicating that this prey was its own.

To be honest, I am not sure about facing a group of freaks. During this period, An Xiao has been trained by the family and the Countermeasures Bureau, playing the role of a beheader. Most of the enemies he faces are one, so his tactics tend to be single combat.

There are too many freaks right now, and they are scrambling to squeeze into the safety passage. The wall at the edge of the door is slowly cracking and showing signs of collapse at any time. This building is simply a breeding ground for freaks.

They should not appear in the Tananya family. No one would keep a group of wild animals in their home.

The long sword slashed out for the seventeenth time, and each strike hit the same spot on the monster's blade. It was actually shaken back, and its snake tail swam around angrily. The other monsters watching the show also screamed to cheer... It was more like a mockery, which made the monster even more annoyed.

An Xiao didn't dare to signal Xiao Meiye with her eyes, fearing that the freaks would notice her sight and notice the girl in the corner. Xiao Meiye squatted on the ground and walked along the iron ladder door at the edge of the wall. She was not stupid, but just slow to react. That was where An Xiao came in.

Xiao Meiye knew that the executive lady was buying time for herself. An Xiao had no pressure in dealing with the monsters. She could also circumvent the monsters in groups and kill them one by one, but she had to consider many things when there were encumbrances.

She felt that she was a burden to the executive lady, and she didn't want to be a burden.

The thirty-seventh beheading completely repelled the monster. It roared and pounced again. An Xiao continued to resist. Although he found its weakness several times, he still failed to kill it.

She was not sure where Akemi had crawled to. The girl should have carefully hidden inside. Akemi was silly and cute. Even if she was slow to react, she should have understood the meaning of her stalemate and guessed it right.

The reason why they didn't kill the monster was because they were worried that the stalemate would break down. Once the monster that prevented its companions from trying to fight the prey alone died, the rest of the monsters would most likely pounce at the same time. They didn't have the spirit of a duel.

A slight knocking sound came from behind, and for a moment it sounded like the habit of his elder brother knocking on the table. An Xiao knew that it was Xiao Meiye knocking on the iron ladder door to convey a signal that she had successfully climbed to the door.

The freaks hunted their prey with their keen sense of smell, but due to their limited vision, they also heard the knocking sounds, but did not care, because they did not smell the scent of the second prey and were all deeply attracted to An Xiao.

An Xiao suddenly drew out his knife and stabbed the monster in the abdomen. The stalemate collapsed in an instant!

The freak didn't react for a moment, then began to roar and roar. The angry roar covered up the crying-like screams of the other freaks. The blood-red outside faded away at some point, and it fell into darkness again.

An Xiao took the opportunity to cut open the monster's chest, and a pungent stench came out, probably from the devouring pain inside. She ran towards the depths in the dark, and after a few seconds, the crying behind her followed like a huge wave.

"Here! Here!" Akeno waved while standing on the iron ladder.
