As soon as Roel heard the noise behind him, he was startled and quickly turned around.
The iron door behind him had automatically closed and locked.
After several attempts to reopen it, he found it impossible.
Roel turned to Kasa with a look of helplessness.
“It’s locked!”
“Uh-huh.”
Kasa nodded in understanding, then pointed to the path ahead and asked, “So, shall we keep going?”
“Why aren’t you nervous at all?”
Roel sighed, often feeling that his mindset was different from others, making him seem out of place.
“Being nervous won’t help, will it?”
Kasa patted the easily startled young man on the shoulder and comforted him, “Since we can’t get out anyway, it’s better to find Luo Luo. It will be safer by her side. Don’t you think so?”
Kasa’s words had some effect, and Roel nodded vigorously, “You’re right! Let’s go! We’ll find Luo Luo!”
With that, Roel took off running ahead, and if Kasa hadn’t been behind him, he would have run off by himself.
Kasa plucked a hairpin and wedged it into the crack of the iron door before following Roel.
The smell of blood, fresh blood…… Luo Luo was very familiar with, or rather, very sensitive to the smell of blood.
After leaving the Elhua Kingdom, she had thought the outside world would be safer, but now it seemed that might not be the case.
Soon, Luo Luo found the source of the blood.
There was a pool of fresh blood on the ground, splattered in a fan shape.
It was likely caused by a sharp weapon striking and then being pulled out.
The blood was bright red with a hint of dark red, indicating that the owner of the blood had internal injuries.
The footprints around the blood were chaotic.
Was someone trying to avoid something?
Luo Luo followed the trail of blood and arrived at a crossroads, where she stopped.
To her left was a passage leading downward, and to her right was one leading upward.
She looked at the bloodstains at the entrance of the left passage, below which was pitch black and devoid of light.
“Come out.”
Luo Luo stood facing the left passage, with her back to the right one, her tone flat, “I can hear breathing.”
“Whoosh!”
An iron rod from behind swung towards Luo Luo’s head.
As if she had known in advance, Luo Luo’s right hand reached around her left neck and grasped the rod with precision.
She twisted her body and thrust her left elbow backward.
“Bang!”
A man in the black and gold heavy guard uniform was smashed onto the steps of the right passage.
Luo Luo then turned to face him.
Under his terrified gaze, she extended her left hand backward and grabbed the throat of another guard.
Her fingertips extended sharp nails that pierced into the skin, gripping his Adam’s apple.
Immediately, the second guard dared not move an inch.
Luo Luo slammed the guard she had by the throat into the wall.
The back of his head made a loud “clang!” against the metal surface, and the guard fainted on the spot.
“There’s still one more,” Luo Luo tightened her grip, and blood flowed down the neck of the second guard.
“Wait, young lady!”
A middle-aged man with his stomach hastily bandaged but still seeping blood emerged from the right passage.
Luo Luo sniffed the air and then slowly nodded.
The smell of blood on this middle-aged man matched the bloodstains she had seen earlier.
Seeing that Luo Luo had stopped, the man let out a sigh of relief, but his eyes were still irresistibly drawn to the two white ears on her head.
He was certain that these ears, the same color as her silver short hair, were not decorations, as they were still twitching, making him want to touch…… “Dare to touch, and I’ll kill you.””……” The middle-aged man wiped his sweat, “I won’t touch. Don’t worry. And in my current state, I wouldn’t be able to even if I wanted to.”
“Even thinking about it is not allowed.”
This girl is really hard to communicate with……………The middle-aged man shifted his gaze to her face, no longer thinking about her ears, and said with a wry smile, “Alright, I won’t think about it either. Can we move on now?”
Luo Luo nodded and released the second guard, letting him slide down the wall to the ground.
The first guard instinctively took a step forward but quickly stopped.
Seeing that Luo Luo ignored him, he hurriedly went to check on the second guard’s condition.
Although Luo Luo had just looked like she was about to crush the guard’s throat, she had only caused minor injuries.
The blow to the wall was the most severe, and the second guard wouldn’t wake up for a while.
“What are you running from?”
Luo Luo looked at the middle-aged man’s abdomen.
Due to his escape, his wound had not yet healed and had split open again.
Now, apart from the bandages, the lower part of his military uniform was also soaked in blood.
The middle-aged man leaned against the wall and sat on the steps to the right.
After catching his breath, he asked in confusion, “Didn’t you encounter it on your way?”
It?
Not a person, but some kind of creature?
Considering the unusually sparse number of guards at this supply station, Luo Luo guessed they might have been attacked by the “it” mentioned by the middle-aged man?
“Uh-oh!”
Luo Luo realized that the two young boys who had followed her were still behind her.
Without paying any more attention to the middle-aged man, she turned and ran back the way she had come.
The wolf girl from the Elhua Kingdom was extremely fast, even able to run parallel to the ground along the walls at the corners, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared from the sight of the three men.
“Captain?”
The first guard, holding his injured and unconscious comrade, looked at the middle-aged man, waiting for his orders.
“Hush!”
The middle-aged man raised his index finger, then slowly stood up and retreated two steps up the stairs behind him.
“Hush? Are you telling me not to make a sound?”
The captain did not answer him but continued to step back.
Just as the guard was puzzled, a drop of viscous liquid fell on his head.
The guard looked up and saw a large mouth with fangs like daggers right in front of him!
“Ahh! Aaaaah! Aaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!”
The guard screamed, not knowing where he got his strength from, and suddenly pushed his unconscious comrade upwards, throwing himself to the side and crawling towards the middle-aged man.
Behind him came the sticky sound of “plop!”
The guard, having crossed the middle-aged man, did not look back and continued to run up the stairs.
As soon as his foot touched the corridor at the end of the stairs,”Plop!”
This time the sound did not come from below, but from the guard’s upper body being crushed in one bite.
It was a sound like a dull knife chopping meat, smashing the bones inside and crushing the flesh without cutting it.
“Squish! Plop! Crunch!”
There were their figures both in front and behind………………The middle-aged man in the center of the passage collapsed to the ground in despair, muttering to himself:
“Not just one, not just one, they’ve all come out, they’ve all come out……”Then, the sound of flesh being torn came from the passage.
“Rip……Smack! Squish! Crunch!”
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!”
