[Outside the School Hospital]

What Mia lacks most is patience.

She didn't intend to wait outside indefinitely. When she took the iron bucket from Luo Di earlier, she implanted a fly egg into his body in a way that was difficult to detect.

This was a harmless method, Luo Di was not on guard against her, which allowed the implant to take place in her body.

She sensed Luo Di's general experience below by observing the fly larvae that had secretly hatched.

Sudden,

A strong threat emanated from the mist, causing even Mia, who was standing outside at a great distance, to tremble.

Just as she was about to control the larvae to turn into flies and sense the outside world, the flies were burned to death by the high temperature.

This high temperature did not come from the outside or from an enemy, but from Luo Di himself.

"He might die in there."

Mia couldn't sit still any longer. Even if the school really did have the "Chaos Value" that Wu Wen had mentioned, she couldn't care less.

Whenever she encounters anyone blocking her way, she will prioritize stunning them; if that doesn't work, she will kill them.

Bass!

He hoisted the long-handled axe, swarming with flies, onto his shoulder.

Holding the iron bucket in my hand,

Mia just swaggered into the hospital.

Just as she was considering sabotaging the elevator to get to the morgue, a well-mannered male doctor walked towards her.

Looking at Mia's murderous appearance, and then at the strange Girl inside the iron barrel.

Generally speaking,

A normal person would be so frightened that they would either run away or shout for help immediately.

Mia, on the other hand, also made a corresponding movement, preparing to chop with her axe, first with the back of the axe, and second with the blade.

Who knew...

"Good evening, how may I help this lady?"

The male doctor appeared unusually respectful, his gaze fixed on the surface of the iron bucket, and even his questions were directed at the Girl inside the bucket.

Mia was somewhat surprised, and she asked, just to try her luck:

"We need to go to the underground morgue."

"Oh? Is this what you mean, Miss? It's very dangerous down there, and only Corpse Transporter are allowed to go down. If you really want to go, please wait a moment. I'll go get your emergency work badges so I can swipe them for you."

Don't worry, this lady won't be kept waiting long.

The doctor ran back to his office as fast as he could, and soon returned, panting, leading the two into the elevator and swiping their cards for verification.

"Do you need me to accompany you to the morgue?"

"No."

"It's a real shame. I'll stay here and wait for you to come out."

As the elevator doors closed, the male doctor waved goodbye with a smile throughout, his eyes filled with reluctance.

"What's going on?"

Mia looked at the Girl in the Barrel, unable to understand what had just happened.

There was no energy fluctuation on the Girl's body, no sign of waking up, and she didn't even move a finger.

She did nothing wrong, yet she made the male doctor she was meeting for the first time seem like a loyal dog.

Bite!

The elevator doors opened.

A deep passage lay before them, and judging from their senses, Luo Di should be at the deepest part.

Just as Mia was about to unleash her full speed,

Bite!

The green light came on in the ordinary morgue not far away, and the old man on the night shift sitting inside suddenly poked his head out.

His pale eyes remained fixed on the Girl in the Barrel.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Mia became curious and deliberately made a request. "We need to go to the morgue at the very back."

"Oh, I see. That place is very dangerous! And you can't get in without Corpse Transporter's card. Let me go with you."

"OK."

It's the same situation again.

Mia was certain that this wasn't driven by superficial desires.

After all, this old man in front of us, who is practically half-buried, has long lost his physical functions, yet he is still deeply enslaved.

As they walked, the old man leading the way suddenly reached out his hand behind him:

"Do you need my help to carry the bucket? I will carry it carefully and try to minimize the shaking."

"No."

After being rejected by Mia, a hint of murderous intent flashed in the old man's eyes, but it quickly returned to calm.

He actually leaned his entire body forward and lay completely face down on the ground.

He turned his head and made a very urgent expression.

"It's my fault! I'm not qualified to carry the bucket; I should be carrying the iron bucket this way."

Please put that lady's metal bucket on my back. I will crawl carefully and won't let the bucket fall.

After thinking it over for a while, Mia put the iron bucket on it anyway.

Without any apparent abnormalities, the old man actually began to crawl seriously, tensing his body to reduce swaying.

However, this crawling did not last long. The old man soon became exhausted and stumbled, causing the iron bucket on his back to fall to the ground.

"I deserve to die! I really deserve to die!"

The old man's emotions became uncontrollable in an instant. He began frantically pounding the ground until his entire head shattered and he died.

Mia watched this bizarre scene, seeing the old man still crawling even after his death.

For a moment, she hesitated whether to lift the iron bucket, as if the Girl in the Barrel was more dangerous than she had imagined.

Ultimately, considering her partnership and Luo Di's special instructions, she brought it up again, found the ID card on the old man, and ran as fast as she could to the deepest part.

Soon we saw the electronic gate at the end.

I didn't even have time to look at the red notification above, I swiped my card to open the door... beep!

A surge of heat erupted out.

The intense heat made Mia feel extremely uncomfortable, affecting even her decaying structure. Yet, she kept her eyes open, without blinking even as ash floated on the surface of her eyeballs.

The scene before my eyes was beyond my imagination.

"That's right!"

What was once a freezing morgue at minus fifty degrees Celsius is now covered in scorching marks, as if it were a passage to hell.

The passageway can be divided into three important sections.

1. "The slaughtered corpses"

All the faceless corpses were subjected to deep slaughter.

They'll either get their bodies damaged by animal traps, have their heads crushed by bare hands, or be smashed into a pulp.

2. "The Damaged Television"

An old television, which didn't belong in the morgue, was placed in the deepest part of the room.

It has now been cut in two by Wu Wen with a sharp sword. The transistors inside are still sparking with electricity, and the image that looks like a human face on the screen is gradually disappearing.

Wu Wen's body was covered in fish scales, which created a camouflage color that was almost identical to the environment through the reflection of the scales.

If it weren't for the obvious presence of the broken television, one would probably never have noticed her.

3. "The Devil and the Vanishing Mysterious Man"

Right in the middle of the passage.

A dark, feather-like structure is disintegrating into ashes and scattering in the wind.

The humanoid the Devil, its entire body blazing red and even turning black, had just completed a difficult slaughter.

The Devil's entire left half was completely destroyed... or rather, erased. Judging from the cross-section of the wound, the flesh looked as if it had been irregularly wiped away.

The wound was sealed with a large number of metal wires, but it was still bleeding.

The Metal Bat in his hand was also charred black by the ashes, constantly releasing thick black smoke.

Before the Devil,

A mysterious man in a suit stood as tall as the passageway, his body bearing numerous burn marks.

Although the head was shrouded in mist, it was clear that the face had been severely struck and was dented inward.

With the television set destroyed

His true form was being retracted into the television set along with the remaining mist.

I could vaguely see a smile on his face, as if he was very satisfied with what he had experienced.

The fog dissipated,

The mysterious person disappeared.

The Demon form is thus dispelled.

Just as Luo Di was missing more than half of his body, was about to fall to the ground, Mia immediately stepped forward and carried him on her back.

Luo Di, still conscious, whispered in her ear:

"Go back to the dormitory..."
