Carl didn't know if he was doing the right thing. What was this monster hiding regardless of his own safety?
Could it be its weakness, or something that summoned it?
Karl had no way of knowing all this. For safety reasons, he should now avoid this monster and the five guys who massacred everyone in the company, and find a way out of here alone.
But after realizing the monster's purpose and before thinking about his own safety, Carl's body had already taken the lead in taking action.
After all, what Carl cares about most now is why he came back to this era, and what does the magic circle he saw that night mean?
The desire to explore the truth deep in his heart drives him to pursue these dangerous things, so even if there is only a slight possibility, it is enough for him to risk going to the third floor to find the truth behind the scenes.
While passing by the second floor, Karl witnessed the damage caused by the previous battle between the two sides on the second floor.
The walls of the corridor were burned with black marks from the flames, and sporadic flames were scattered in various places on the second floor. The walls of the surrounding offices were also heavily damaged, and large holes punched out by huge force were scattered irregularly around.
, and at the same time, the place is still filled with smoke and dust after the building was destroyed. If this house is taken out for appraisal now, there will be no other conclusion except that it is a dangerous house!
And all of this was just the results they achieved within a few minutes. Karl had reason to believe that if the fight continued like this, the house would definitely be demolished before they could.
In this damn difficult terrain, Karl spent a lot of effort to reach the stairs.
At this time, the steps of the stairs had been completely dismantled. It was definitely destroyed by this monster when it came down.
Although the steps are gone, the stair handrail is still hanging on it.
Maybe you can step up on this thing?
Because he didn't know whether this thing could support his own weight, Karl withdrew the [Decapitating Blade] that he had been holding tightly. Then he rubbed his palms and grabbed the stair railing, and shook it hard. It was still firm.
It should be no problem.
Karl thought like this, and carefully moved his body up the escalator. Although it was a little shaken, it still withstood his weight.
When Carl came to the third floor again, the environment was exactly the same as when he left, even the bullet casings on the ground were still there.
However, there was no sign of Mailin's figure. Needless to say, he was definitely devoured by that monster. He was so mentally broken that he had no chance of surviving without escaping from here.
Along the corridor, Carl came directly to the spot where the monster was standing when Mrs. Lawn was still there. From here there are three rooms, one is the boss's office, one is the editor-in-chief's office, and the other is a meeting room at the end of the corridor.
room.
At this time, the fighting was still going on downstairs, and the violent collisions could be heard clearly even by Karl on the third floor. One can imagine how tense the situation below was.
Along with the sound of fighting, Karl first pushed the door of the boss's office. The door was not locked, and he opened the door with a slight twist of the handle.
After entering, there didn't seem to be anything noteworthy in the house.
Since time was running out now, he didn't know how long it would take the judge downstairs to kill the monster, so Karl didn't intend to waste time. He took a quick glance and left here before arriving at the conference room.
This conference room was only used by the boss when receiving distinguished guests. The door was usually locked. After cutting off the door lock with a knife, Karl pushed the closed door open.
The conference room was empty at the moment, and there was nothing conspicuous except tables and chairs. But when Karl's eyes came to the walls of the conference room, a rather surprising discovery appeared in front of him. In the large conference room, on the wall
There is a large exhaust fan embedded in it!
The exhaust fans of this era are not small in size. As long as you remove this thing, you can get out of this damn place.
Just do it. If you don't do it now, if something happens later and you need to escape from here quickly, you won't have time to dismantle the exhaust fan.
So Karl immediately walked over and used the [Decapitating Blade] to cut off the entire exhaust fan. With the extremely sharp blade, he completed the job easily.
A large enough escape passage leading to the outside appeared in front of him.
Karl looked around and saw that there was a low shed just outside the wall. He would have no problem jumping down with his own ability.
After solving the problem of escaping, Karl turned back and came to the door of the editor-in-chief's office. If he guessed correctly, the thing the monster was guarding before was in this room.
Karl reached out and pushed the door first, but the door handle couldn't be turned at all. It must have been locked from the inside.
There was nothing to hesitate, [Decapitating Blade] directly destroyed the door lock with one strike.
After opening the door, an unexpected scene appeared.
A mummy was sitting on their editor's chair, with the upper body lying on the desk. From his dress and the glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, Karl could recognize that this mummy was his former editor-in-chief.
.
On the desk in front of him, an open book was placed on it. The mummy's hands were still lying on the table, and his upper body was pressing on the book. It seemed that he was suddenly taken away while he was reading the book.
of the flesh and blood in the body.
I'm afraid this is the culprit of the company's sudden change, Karl thought, and stepped forward to get rid of this thing.
Without thinking, he took two steps forward when a faint blue light glowed on the book, as if Karl's arrival had awakened something.
Facing this unknown change, he blocked the [Decapitating Blade] in front of himself, carefully guarding against possible dangers.
Then under the illumination of the faint blue light, the mummy lying on the table actually started to move! It struggled to support its upper body with its dry arms, stared at Karl in front of it with empty eye sockets, and then opened and closed its big dry mouth.
, spoke in a hoarse voice. The horrific scene made people extremely uncomfortable!
"Boy, I'm surprised that you can come here. But it doesn't matter, as long as you can take me out, I will give you everything you want."
"Are you this book?" Karl calmed down. It seemed that the book was using the editor's corpse to communicate with him. Although the scene was scary enough, since he could communicate, he should use clichés first.
"That's right, take me and escape from here. I can give you powerful power, Yonghen's lifespan, and endless wealth!"
"Did you make the black mud downstairs? What's your relationship?"
Ignoring the temptation, Carl asked the question he cared about.
"That's just a weak part of my strength. The guys below will be solved soon. It's too late to explain now. Take me away quickly!"
The mummy seemed to be struggling to speak, so he paused for a moment before continuing.
"With my help, you won't be swallowed up by this ritual. We can leave after breaking the glass. Why are you hesitating? Hurry!"
"Okay, now is indeed not the time to talk. I will ask you other questions after we escape."
After saying that, Karl walked up, looking like he was going to escape from here with the magic book.
Seeing Karl's movements, the blue light on the book began to dissipate, and the editor's mummy lost strength and fell on the table again.
Walking to the desk, Karl pushed the mummy away, closed the open book without looking at it, and then stabbed it with a knife.
Although you may know a lot, but if I believe your lies about such dangerous things, then that’s what’s wrong with your brain!
