Chapter 1378: Chapter 1379: High Heels Entering the Door
The La Butcher is indeed frightening, but the thodical surveillance and sudden positional changes of the Raincoat Cleaner send chills down one’s spine. No matter where you hide, when the sound of the rubber bucket landing appears nearby, she might just appear right in front of you...
Fortunately, after finding a player hiding on a cargo box, she didn’t seek a second one but instead carried the rubber bucket to another area.
The player hidden inside the cargo box in front of Xu Huo finally breathed a sigh of relief and made a threatening gesture, signaling him to leave quickly.
Xu Huo didn’t stay long and continued forward. After failing to find a passage in the corridor leading to the dining area, he made another round through the second hexagonal corridor, then returned to the main warehouse, ready to proceed.
However, just as he was about to pass through the second large warehouse, the sound of high heels suddenly could be heard not far ahead.
Unlike the previously elusive sounds, the sound of the high heels could reach any corner of the hexagonal corridor, including the large warehouse—there was no attempt at stealth, as if the footsteps were a warning to the players around.
Retracting his Spiritual World, Xu Huo could still sense that there were several players moving in the corridor ahead, all avoiding the sound of high heels.
However, their actions didn’t catch the attention of the high heels. The wearer didn’t search the corridors or warehouses but occasionally paused in front of certain doors.
Feeling the person lingered slightly in front of so rooms, then knocking sounds were heard.
Yes, the person wearing high heels was knocking on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Based on the general setting, the person in high heels was likely also a restaurant employee, working with colleagues, so they didn’t attract the La Butcher or the door-knocking killer, though the player inside the room couldn’t possibly open the door.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The knocking sounded again, then it fell silent.
In less than three minutes, the sound of the high heels resud, heading forward.
The penetrating steps moved away, and Xu Huo then entered the corridor, discovering one room’s door was open, with fresh blood flowing from inside to outside, and blood traces extending to the corridor’s end.
More than just Xu Huo ca to investigate; a man and a woman also ca, and the three glanced knowingly into the room:
Lying by the door was a headless corpse. In fact, all three people in the room had been beheaded, but the one by the door was exceptionally brutal. The person’s bones seed completely shattered, not just the chest cavity; even the limbs sagged weakly to the ground, thick blood seemingly seeping from every pore without leaving any inside the body, and the mat beneath the corpse was soaked with blood, gleaming with the sheen unique to liquid...
In the brief interval between the door knocking and the high heels leaving, three Rank-C players were massacred, the thods so savage it was appalling.
Having seen the room’s state clearly, the three didn’t stay longer, as the Raincoat Cleaner would soon arrive, and with bodies inside the room, the La Butcher might co too.
Trailing behind the other two to a different route, Xu Huo didn’t move further but hid inside the warehouse.
The sound of the Raincoat Cleaner appeared swiftly, and the female player who ca to check the situation nodded at him.
Xu Huo also slightly nodded and proactively showed his number tag.
The two opposite him revealed theirs, which were 201 and 202.
After a brief exchange of information, Xu Huo was about to leave, but at this mont, an orange inexplicably fell at his feet:
"Thud!"
It was piercing in the quiet warehouse. The Raincoat Cleaner instantly moved to behind him, bony fingers reaching for his neck!
Evidently sabotaged, Xu Huo dodged the Raincoat Cleaner and moved to a cargo box twenty ters away, kicking it open: "If you want to play, let’s all join in!"
In this place where all players are trying to avoid attention, any slight move is like a beacon in the night, so it is easy to pinpoint the two. Caught off guard by Xu Huo’s swift retaliation, they split and ran.
No way Xu Huo would let them escape so easily. He directly set up five Spatial Barriers to block the two—not needing to catch them, just slowing them enough so they couldn’t evade the Raincoat Cleaner. The Raincoat Cleaner naturally wouldn’t skip over them to chase soone further away.
Nonetheless, Xu Huo wasn’t free either, as the loud noise attracted the La Butcher. A hooked blade from the ceiling swept past him, narrowly avoiding, displaying the La Butcher’s face full of vicious flesh right before him.
The "Unassailable Territory" caught the butcher’s cleaver. Xu Huo used Spatial Power to move again, but this ti found himself trapped inside the warehouse—a barrier of power blocked the entrance.
The La Butcher grinned maliciously at him. Standing at the corridor’s exit, Xu Huo used the characteristic "Forgetting Switch."
The "Forgetting Switch" is an upgrade of the characteristic "A Sad Affair," evolving from voluntary forgetting to Compulsory Forgetting, with the ti erased uncertain. Seeing a mont of doubt in the La Butcher’s expression confird its activation.
Of course, the activation doesn’t prevent the La Butcher from attacking him, rely causing a short mory gap. For the Hunter, having prey before his eyes is enough, no matter if he recognizes it or if they’ve changed.
The cleaver flew straight at Xu Huo’s face. He dodged aside, and as the blade brushed past, he confird with a stroke of his hand that the "Life Core" couldn’t nullify this Prop.
No matter—he drew the Black Blade and slashed at the barrier at the corridor entrance.
This barrier should have been pre-set by the Raincoat Cleaner. When it was destroyed, she turned her head, charging at Xu Huo with the La Butcher from both sides!
The "Goalkeeper’s" barrier unfolded, rebounding their attacks as Xu Huo seized the chance of their distance widening, turning and slipping into the room just cleared out.
The La Butcher and Raincoat Cleaner reached the doorway but were montarily blocked by the Spatial Barrier, only able to watch helplessly as the door shut.
The room still reeked of blood; Xu Huo quickly activated his Spiritual World, opening another door behind it. But the pair didn’t force their way in, and soon the sound of the rubber bucket faded away, while the La Butcher lingered at the door for a while before leaving, footsteps betraying considerable anger.
As long as they don’t co in, Xu Huo checked the ti, then lay on a clean sofa, planning to rest a bit before heading out again.
