Pursuit

[Bai Yang is as adorable as ever, and his abilities seem to have improved too. I've never seen this Puppy Plush Toy before.]

[As expected of someone from the organization, you've improved so quickly.]

Does the organization really not offer any training courses? I'd like to sign up for one too.

A bizarre human head was being carried in a dog's mouth, screaming desperately as if it had encountered something terrible.

The sound briefly brought Qin Rang, who had been raging and had punched several holes in the headless corpse, back to his senses from his violent outburst.

Regaining his senses, he looked at the still lively headless corpse in front of him, then turned to look at Bai Yang teasing the dog, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the violent destructive desire in his heart.

He retreated to the stairs. "Bai Yang, stop playing around, let's go!"

"Oh!"

Bai Yang decisively told the Puppet to leave. The dog Puppet tossed the eerie human head high, and the head immediately ran away. The two Puppet and the person quickly followed Qin Rang.

Qin Rang had already descended to the third floor. Bai Yang simply stepped onto the stair railing, aimed at the gap, grabbed the two Puppet, and jumped down, landing lightly.

Brushing the dust off his hands, Bai Yang stood up with satisfaction.

The third floor was pitch black, with the sound of dripping water not far away.

Qin Rang, who arrived first, sensed something was wrong. He looked up and made Servant Weird on the ceiling who had been stabbed in the chest.

"Roar!" The servant pounced down, only to be knocked away mid-air by the puppy and fall to the ground, the knife in his chest seemingly piercing deeper.

"Well done!" Bai Yang dashed down the street, with Qin Rang close behind.

The strange creature chasing them from behind changed from having one head and one body to having one head and two bodies.

After the two of them went down to the second floor, there was another sudden stop.

The second-floor Corridor was bustling with activity. Tao Yuan, Tang Pin, and Mi Chuchu were fully armed, while two eerie creatures scurried all over the walls.

The three hid on the second floor, Tao Yuan even used Chainsaw to cut one of the monsters into three pieces on the wall.

Then the two corpses chasing them strangely turned into four.

"What is this weird thing! I can't kill it!" In despair, Tao Yuan used Chainsaw to knock the monster away, too afraid to cut it any further.

Mi Chuchu was completely protected by Full-Body Armor, which physically immune her to the Rules that would be triggered upon contact.

She pressed one of the intact monsters against the wall and yelled at Tang Pin, "Can you kill it?"

"Cannot!"

Tang Pin, wearing heavy clothes, struggled to swing the Long Staff: "These tattered clothes are too cumbersome! They should at least reduce the force by half."

Tao Yuan, panting heavily, chimed in, "Agreed! This must be a sinister conspiracy!"

At this moment, Mi Chuchu saw Qin Rang hurrying down from the second floor, and then saw Bai Yang behind Qin Rang.

"Captain? Bai Yang? You're here too?"

"Let's go!" Qin Rang didn't linger on the second floor. He glanced at her, turned around, and rushed back down to the first floor, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Bai Yang ran after them, while the Dolls behind him continued to harass the two monsters lagging behind, buying them time to escape.

Tao Yuan looked behind them in confusion and saw a dog Puppet with a human head in its mouth fighting wits with a headless corpse. A strange creature crawling on the ceiling was chasing after them, using both its hands and feet.

???

"Hurry up, let's go downstairs too!" Mi Chuchu immediately grabbed her two companions and threw them towards the stairwell. The two used the momentum to reach the top of the stairs and ran down. Mi Chuchu punched a few more of the Weird Object behind her, created some distance, and then followed closely behind.

The three jumped down the stairs and quickly caught up with Bai Yang, who was lagging behind.

Bai Yang turned around and his scalp tingled. "What the hell are those things you brought?!"

Tao Yuan ran downstairs carrying Chainsaw, shouting in a booming voice, "It's just a head, half an upper body, half a lower body, and a complete corpse."

"That's all?!"

Hearing the noise, Tang Pin looked up and asked, "What are those things over there?!"

"Isn't it just a head, a headless corpse, and a monster crawling on the ceiling?" Bai Yang replied verbatim.

[The scene was too bizarre; I dared not watch.]

[Jokes are hellish]

[Haha, sorry I laughed a little too loudly]

[These dead weirdos all look so familiar...]

Aren't those two men Count of Ravenhall's two Illegitimate Sons?

[He's dead already? Wasn't he just here when we were eating?]

[I suppose the key question is who killed them? If these dead people can all turn into unkillable monsters, how many monsters will there be in this Castle later on?]

[A chilling thought]

[Even a rough thought might be alarming?]

The narrow staircase and Corridor were filled with several eerie creatures. Several people squeezed down the stairs, their gorgeous skirts becoming a serious burden at this moment.

Several women stumbled after running a few steps, their large skirts completely obscuring the view of those going up and down the stairs, creating a considerable distance between them Qin Rang was running ahead with ease.

"This tattered skirt!" Tao Yuan was furious, and Tang Pin was also sweating profusely with anxiety.

Only Mi Chuchu, whose skirt was already quite short, became even more agile and nimble after donning the Weird Object armor. She lagged behind, working with Bai Yang's Doll to delay the monster's pursuit.

The group rushed to the first floor in a disheveled state, only to see Qin Rang suddenly brake, turn around, and run back towards them.

"Go upstairs!" Qin Rang left those words behind and quickly slipped through the strange gaps in the encirclement behind him, fleeing upstairs.

Bai Yang craned his neck to look where he had left, and saw that all the Servant Weird chased after Qin Rang, numbering probably in the dozens.

"Ahh!"

Now that Bai Yang didn't need to pretend, he let out a scream and turned to run, with the two Puppet clearing a path for him.

Tao Yuan turned around in despair and quickly caught up with Bai Yang: "Have we stumbled upon a monster's lair?"

A group of people rushed upstairs again, and on the way they ran into Wang Ding and Bai Ao, who had come looking for what had happened after hearing the commotion.

So two more people joined the fleeing group.

On the fifth floor, the group encountered another Mud Weird blocking the stairwell.

This eerie creature was different from the other humanoid ones; its top was a Long Hair human head. Apart from that, all that could be seen was its entire body covered in mud. It was a tall, bloated mass of mud that filled the entire corridor.

"That's the Eldest Miss! We've been making noise on the fifth floor late at night, which must have broken the Rules!" Tao Yuan shouted.

The Eldest Miss's eerie energy was far more powerful than any of the eerie energies chasing after her; she definitely couldn't be killed in a short time.

On the contrary, if they were to attack her, it would definitely waste time, and if other strange beings caught up and attacked from multiple sides, they would only face certain death.

Qin Rang decisively turned around and ran towards the other side of the stairs. "Downstairs!"

Qin Rang changed direction by taking the right staircase, Tao Yuan and the others turned and ran downstairs. Only Bai Yang lagged behind, glancing at the depths of the fifth floor.

There, an inconspicuous cat crouched in the Corridor, letting the mud monster pass by it.

Noticing his gaze, the Black Cat lazily wagged its tail.

Mud Weird fast and was even more powerful. The group's legs were practically spinning with exhaustion as they ran, practically jumping down from the upper floors, but they still couldn't shake her off.
