33 The House Where People Are Chased (Part 6)

◎A demon hunter once died here?◎

"Professor Chu, someone has entered Subject 777."

In a certain laboratory, an entire wall is covered with monitoring data. The usually stable data suddenly fluctuated today, producing an exaggerated peak.

The man called professor was very young. He was wearing a white coat and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He had deep facial features, but his temperament was a bit gloomy.

"Unusual energy fluctuations." The researcher tapped his hands on the keyboard and said, "Someone really went in."

When he said going in, he didn't mean going into the outside, but someone went into the real inside.

The researcher asked, "The people at the cleaning center?"

Another researcher replied, "That's impossible. The center has been undergoing internal rectification under Xuanqing's leadership recently, so there aren't many tasks."

There was a shift of power within the cleaning center. Most cleaners and demon hunters were undergoing intensive training. Those who failed the assessment were not allowed to accept any missions. The number of missions for the entire cleaning center dropped sharply within a week.

The cleaning center hasn't taken care of this house for so many years, it's impossible for them to come and purify it suddenly.

Moreover, they knew the cleaning center's entire task list for the next three days, and this experimental subject was definitely not on the recent task list.

"Could it be... this?" the researcher asked.

Professor Chu was silent. He was hesitant to speak. Prometheus? What are you going to do?

He asked, "Where is Experiment 777 manifested?"

"Roma City Residential Area, Building 22, 13 floors." Another person replied, "It's a residential area with a high occupancy rate and a dense population."

This means that you cannot use hot weapons to flatten the area. If it is in the wilderness, you can just blockade it from the outside.

But in densely populated residential areas, it is almost impossible to successfully bypass the police and resolve the case quietly.

"What should we do?" the researcher asked.

Subject No. 777 has been around for fifteen years, and they don't want to give up all their hard work.

Its experimental data is very valuable, and they have been monitoring the growth data of Subject 777.

As a pollutant, it can recognize its owner and track him, and it is now growing slowly and even learned to hunt independently, which is very rare.

If they were purified at this time, their years of hard work would be wasted.

It was too late to send anyone over because the Green Door recognized its owner and outsiders could not open it.

There are only two outcomes for invaders who enter the Green Gate: first, the Green Gate is purified, and second, it is assimilated by the Green Gate.

Generally speaking, the second situation is the case, so there is no need to worry too much.

Researcher: "Just forget about it, just like last time."

Professor Chu was silent for a moment before making a decision, "Send someone to wait outside and kill the intruder when they get a chance."

The researcher agreed, feeling that Professor Chu was being overly cautious.

Although Experiment No. 777 was only rated as a Class C contaminated area, no one has returned alive so far because its internal structure is too strange.

…

Sheriff's Detention Center.

Ding Chaojie held on to the railing tightly. He could feel someone clinging to him from behind. He didn't dare to breathe. He was the only one in the entire detention room.

Ding Chaojie slowly turned his head, and sure enough, there was a green door behind him, right next to him.

The green door had opened a crack, and black lines seemed to be twitching in the air inside.

"Please," Ding Chaojie said, "I didn't mean it."

"Could you please not come to me?"

"I kowtow to you. I didn't mean to kill you. It was an accident, a mistake."

Ding Chaojie kept begging in a low voice, but the green door slowly opened.

Snap——

Ding Chaojie was stunned and one of his fingers gripping the railing loosened. Someone was prying his hand apart!

"Please, don't come over here! Ah!"

The second finger was pried open, and no matter how hard he pulled, it was of no use.

Snap, Snap! All ten fingers were forced apart.

Ding Chaojie suddenly felt his right leg sink, as if a hand was grabbing his ankle.

The security guard in charge of watching the surveillance video of the Public Security Bureau's detention center was dozing off the whole time and he didn't see what was happening inside the detention center.

In the video surveillance, Ding Chaojie was holding the railing. Suddenly, it seemed as if someone was bending his hands invisibly and breaking his fingers one by one.

His face was full of pain and he kept shouting and screaming like a puppet, unable to control his limbs at all.

Ding Chaojie took a step back with his right foot and retreated step by step.

The surveillance video kept flickering.

With a bang—

The green door closed and Ding Chaojie disappeared into the detention room, as if he had never been there.

…

Zhu Ning's feet touched the ground.

She had seen many corpses, and the feeling was definitely correct. It was a body. Had she stepped into the crime scene?

It seemed like there was a bug in the game and the NPC was stuck, so she could only move backwards but not forwards.

It has come to this, there is no turning back. Even if there is a female ghost behind me, it is better than facing an empty house.

Zhu Ning took another step back, and this time she walked completely into the space behind her.

Zhu Ning stumbled and had to hold on to the wall to steady himself. Under his feet was a severely decomposed male corpse. His back looked like it had been cut open by a knife, and something was trying to come out of the body.

Much like the pollutants of failed alienation.

He maintained his prone position, with his fingers curled up and tightly grasping the edge of the kick line, as if he was trying every possible way to escape before dying.

Zhu Ning came out from behind the TV wall. It was her first time entering another space at such a tricky angle, and her first reaction was to hit the wall again.

Her palm could not pass through again, and the wall in front of her turned into a solid wall, allowing her to only go in but not out?

The house was unusually damp and cold, with the helmet panel showing only sixteen degrees.

This space was equally quiet, no one spoke, only the slight noises made by Zhu Ning.

Out of caution, Zhu Ning did not look back after entering the different dimension, but took another step back and carefully moved his feet away from the corpse.

Suddenly, her whole body froze, and something seemed to move at the back of her neck.

Although the work clothes in the cleaning center completely cover the human skin, they simulate the touch of the skin and are very sensitive.

Now Zhu Ning felt a little itchy on the back of his neck, as if... a clump of hair fell behind him.

Zhu Ning was very brave, and his heartbeat inevitably quickened at that moment.

Tick-tick-tick

A drop of water fell on the helmet, making a dull sound. Because it was so quiet, the sound of the drop of water was very obvious. She raised her head silently.

Then he saw a pale face and a woman hanging upside down from the ceiling.

The other person was wearing a red dress, lying on all fours on the ceiling, with her long hair hanging down, just landing on Zhu Ning's shoulders.

Tick-tick-tick

The woman's pale face was wet, and water was constantly seeping out of her pores, like a corpse that had been soaked at the bottom of a well all night.

It took Zhu Ning a while to figure out what he had seen.

The woman's limbs were stretched out, as if she was holding onto the ceiling by some suction, and on her back she was carrying a huge... snail shell?

The entire snail shell is light yellow and even has a beautiful black spiral line. If you look closely, you will see that the snail shell grows from the spine on the back.

Snails... people? Is this a pollutant?

No wonder there is no sound, snails don’t make any noise.

Zhu Ning glanced around with his peripheral vision. The other dimension was exactly the same as Huang Yaruo's home, like a mirror image, but the furniture was placed in the opposite order to the home Zhu Ning had just visited.

If the sofa was placed on the left in the previous house, this one is placed on the right. The two houses are symmetrical, but one is obviously older and more dilapidated.

The furniture was covered with a thick layer of dust, there was rotten food and withered flowers on the dining table, and the walls were covered with mold and moss.

There were a total of six wriggling snail people in the living room, some wearing suits, some wearing sportswear, and one wearing light pink pajamas. From their clothes, one could even infer who they were in the past.

As soon as Zhu Ning came in, these snail people seemed to have a collective consciousness and suddenly looked at him in unison.

Snails are mollusks, so the limbs of snail people are even softer. After seeing Zhu Ning, they slowly moved their limbs and crawled towards Zhu Ning.

But snails are too slow. In a strange and damp house, a room full of snails with human faces are slowly crawling towards you.

She didn't know why, even though the other party's movements were slow and shouldn't pose much of a threat, she felt a strange feeling in her heart. This thing was even more frightening than the pig-headed man.

The fishmen and pigmen you encountered before didn't have human faces, so when you saw them, your brain recognized them as monsters.

But snails are very anthropomorphic and look not much different from humans.

Snail-people have the behavior patterns of snails and can climb higher, leaving a long trail of slime wherever they climb.

The entire environment is more suitable for snails to survive. It is very humid, and the house is covered with green plants. A bunch of red mushrooms actually grew next to the sofa. If you don’t know, you would think this is a giant incubator.

This may be the real contaminated area.

Zhu Ning suddenly understood how the 2,500 cubic meters of contaminated area was calculated. A home would certainly not be larger than a swimming pool, but if the space of this home could continue to expand, it would be entirely possible.

Zhu Ning had been to three polluted areas, and this was the first place she was eager to get out of. It was so weird that she didn't want to stay there for a moment.

The clue, the clue to get out is on the snail man.

The remaining five snail men looked like ordinary people. There was a male snail man next to the TV, and he stood out a little too much.

The man had a square face and a very strong build. He didn't look like an ordinary person. He might have been doing some security work before he became a pollutant.

He seemed to be wearing a watch on his wrist, which flashed a faint light.

Wait, Zhu Ning frowned, that’s not a watch, that’s a cleaning center employee bracelet.

The cleaning center employee wristband is a status symbol used to contact the cleaning center and get support from various departments when necessary.

Even if you die in a contaminated area, the positioning function can show your last location, making it easier for someone to collect your body.

There are three types of employee bracelets: silver for cleaners, black for demon hunters, and pure white for technical or management staff.

Zhu Ning would definitely not make a mistake. The snail man was wearing a black employee bracelet on his wrist.

Was he a demon hunter? Demon hunters far surpassed cleaners in both mental and physical abilities. Zhu Ning had already experienced this after being beaten in the fighting arena for three days.

A witcher once died here?
