Office Building

The Paradise Inner Layer.

Mr. Aha's "shop" is set up in a hidden spatial crevices through a Spatial Technique.

Since there are no restrictions, the grocery store is quite large and has multiple rooms.

[Clue and Evidence Room], [Props Room], [Living Things Room], [Chess and Card Room], [Massage Room]...

Further on, various strange rooms appeared, until finally, at the end, there was Miscellaneous Items Room.

Mr. Aha seems to have a lot in control of everything in the grocery store.

When Han Dong pushed open the door to the Miscellaneous Items Room, there were only four folding beds inside.

The best transition is to carefully consider the clues you have obtained.

"Mr. Aha... he's a very nice person."

As Abel lay on the folding bed, his state of mind shifting from a tense escape to a safe and comfortable one, two fluffy, pointed ears immediately sprouted from his hair.

Han Dong shrugged. "Most of it is due to mutual interests... By the way, I really Abel Captain Abel for the last leg of the escape."

"There's no need for us to be so polite... Besides, Nicholas, you're much lighter than the average Knight-Errant, you'll hardly feel anything carrying you."

Han Dong is no saint. After a long period of mental tension, he also needs to clear his mind and rest for a while.

Therefore, Han Dong's attention turned to another interesting place.

Staring at Abel's fluffy animal ears peeking out from his white hair, Han Dong asked curiously.

"Abel ...it seems like you 'grow hair' whenever you get excited, relaxed, or in a fighting stance?"

When Han Dong brought up this issue, Abel was a little embarrassed.

"This... is a problem with my personal physical condition."

Because of my innate bestial nature, which is stronger than that of the average Behemoth Knight Order, even though I have been training since childhood, I still cannot fully control it... If I get too excited, my bestial nature will show.

During combat, one needs to unleash their animalistic instincts, which will naturally cause changes in their physical form.

In fact, as a biology professor, Han Dong had a good understanding of Abel's characteristics.

Anyone who has studied genetics even in its basic form knows that genes have infinite possibilities.

The reason why humans look the way they do is due to the combination of some genes being expressed and others being turned off.

If some closed wild animal genes in the Human Gene are expressed, or if some core wild animal genes are replaced by cut-out human genes.

[Beast Transformation] is achievable.

Just as Han Dong was about to ask some deeper questions about the [Hundred Beasts],

Mia and Winry, looking completely dumbfounded, leaned closer and stared at Abel's unexpectedly grown animal ears. "Captain Abel... can we pinch your ears?"

"It's best... not to."

Before she could even say "no," Mia had already started rubbing.

He even took the initiative to pull the shy Wenli along and touch her too.

Wow! So soft and comfortable!

Mia felt as if her entire body was about to melt.

Mia quickly asked, "Speaking of which, Captain Abel, if you can't fully control your beastly nature even with your current abilities, what about when you were a child?"

When this topic came up, Abel became even more embarrassed, his cheeks even turning slightly red.

"Well... when I was little, I was pretty much in beastman form."

"A small white tiger?!"

Mia seemed to be seeing Abel as a child, and her eyes lit up with delight.

At this moment, Han Dong suddenly reminded him from the side, "Go to sleep and rest... Sleeping is a luxury in the Paradise Inner Layer."

Mia gave her a disdainful look. "Hmph... do you want to touch it too? Come on!"

Captain Abel certainly won't mind; he was carrying you on his back just now... However, next time I meet that handsome blond guy, I'll tell him everything."

Han Dong turned over and went to sleep alone.

Four hours later.

paradise.

Main Hall of a gloomy, dark Office Building.

A portly security guard with elaborate corpse makeup stood on one side of the Office Building entrance.

At the same time.

Inside one of the elevators deep in the lobby, the lights were flashing incessantly.

Just as the elevator doors are about to close, a head will suddenly stick out, and the elevator doors will reopen because they have caught the foreign object.

Inside the elevator stood a young office worker whose head was mangled and bloodied on both sides.

This process will repeat itself continuously.

Just then.

Swish...

A metallic light appeared above the security guard's head, and he was suddenly pierced by some kind of sharp weapon... The chilling air entered his body, and combined with the curse of the demon sword, he was instantly killed.

The instant the killing was completed.

The demon sword was thrown out with a sudden force, its tail carrying a trace of cursed energy that pulled it to its target, causing it to fly straight out.

Just as his head was sticking out and getting stuck in the elevator door, it pierced through his temple.

Double kill!

With a wave of her hand, the demonic sword, which had already recognized its master, was immediately drawn by a wisp of cursed aura. After spinning several times in the air, it flew directly back into Mia's hand.

"Aren't these ghost stories a little too simplistic?"

Mia had some doubts about her easy 1v2 result.

"It's not simple..." Han Dong's Lesser Demon Eye between his eyebrows opened, scrutinizing the building from top to bottom. "Perhaps this Office Building itself corresponds to a large-scale ghost story."

The security guard you killed and the young man whose head was caught in the elevator door had the same aura.

Even Though after death, though most of their bodies were frozen by the cold, a small portion of their essence still returned to the building... They were originally just a small part of this place."

These words sent a shiver down Mia's spine, causing her to sprout numerous spider compound eyes and immediately survey her surroundings.

"Don't worry... everything is normal for now."

Han Dong had been secretly observing everything.

After the two were killed by Mia, the overall atmosphere of the Office Building remained unchanged, giving people a sense of neutrality.

More importantly.

The reason Han Dong and his group came here was because the clue indicated that during the current time period (5:00 PM to 7:30 PM), the probability of the [Abyssal Public Toilet] merging with the restroom on the 13th floor of this building was as high as 71%.

However, conflicts can easily arise between different ghost stories.

The fact that a public toilet can be found in this Office Building suggests that the Office Building itself may be a neutral entity, just like Mr. Aha.

However, all of this is just Han Dong's speculation, and it may not be correct.

The building is self-sufficient in electricity and has elevators.

However, the 'elevator murder' scene is too common in horror movies, so Han Dong still chose to take the stairs... However, after walking through the stairwell for at least 20 floors, the marker in the stairwell was still [1].

Are you forcing us to take the elevator?

When Han Dong had no choice but to walk out through the Safe Passage.

Before anyone knew it, a young and beautiful elevator operator was already standing guard at a clean and bright elevator door, waiting for the group to enter.

However, the flight attendant's nails seemed to have not been trimmed for several years and were excessively long.
