Grandma Origin

"With Abel leading the team, and Winry and Mia working together, we should be able to buy enough time."

The bone wings flapped.

In the Crow Person Form.

Han Dong is almost one with the shadowy side, and then uses a unique bone-shrinking technique of the crow people to minimize his size.

Having deduced that the searchlight creatures concentrated all their senses inside the light, Han Dong only needed to avoid the light.

Moreover, the alarm was raised because Mia and her group had been discovered.

Apart from the stationary "Searchlight Arm," all the other long-legged creatures in the passageway rushed to help...

With no obstacles along the way, Han Dong arrived at the location marked on the map without any problems.

A special clown-themed chewing gum was inserted into the lock.

We entered the ward before the searchlight shone on us.

Buzz!!

A chill ran through Han Dong, who was in his Crow Person Form, and his wings trembled.

Even Chen Li inside the body sensed the danger and immediately appeared, standing back to back with Han Dong, observing the situation in the ward.

Han Dong did not directly reveal Mr. Aha's name.

After all, judging from Mr. Aha's tone, the couple did not get along... Rashly revealing his name could even lead to his death.

"We have made contact with [Ghost Stories - Granny Storyteller], level [S+], ranked 4th in the ' Paradise S-Class Kaidan Ranking '. Please handle with caution."

Origin-type supernatural tales: defeating them will not yield any rewards, but will alter the main storyline.

"An origin story? Could it be..."

Han Dong's thought process is very clear.

In an instant, I recalled the scene when I first came to the park... when I accidentally came into contact with the [Strange Tales - Red Umbrella] because of a heavy rain.

What echoed in my head was not the rigid system voice, but an old woman telling the story of the Red Umbrella, introducing the ghost story side quest in a storytelling style.

Sizzle!

Inside the dimly lit hospital room.

An elderly woman in a hospital gown was standing next to the wire bed, with a Japanese-style doll in her right hand.

As the doll's mouth opened and closed.

A familiar old woman's voice came, somewhat eerie but completely without hostility, "Young man, you've come!"

"Hello!"

Han Dong quickly patted Chen Li on the shoulder, signaling her to put down the kitchen knife and not to be hostile towards the old woman.

"Um..."

The old woman slowly turned her head.

Hollow.

The eyes are empty.

The mouth was also empty.

It has neither eyeballs, nor teeth, nor a tongue for making sounds.

The old woman relied entirely on the doll on her right hand to observe and tell stories... In such an environment, staring at the empty old woman beside the hospital bed is truly terrifying.

"You're a very good young man. Your treatment of Xiaohong shows that you are a very kind person."

Xiao Hong is clearly the same woman with the red umbrella that Han Dong Oldest One encountered.

"Grandma, you can just call me Alan! I'm here to help you escape... My friends have blocked the searchlights in the Supervision Office for us, let's go."

"Can you carry me on your back? I'm getting old and my legs aren't very strong."

"No problem."

Han Dong first broke the fusion with Duoze Crow.

She quickly walked to the bedside.

The old woman's feet had been amputated, and her two severed legs were hanging in the air.

However, Han Dong did not hesitate at all, nor did he show any disdain in his eyes... He immediately knelt down on one knee with his back to the old woman, letting her cold arm rest on his shoulder.

The cold, leather-like Japanese doll was also resting against Han Dong's face.

"Let's go."

Han Dong gestured with his eyes for Chen Li to Door Opening.

He carried the old woman away from the ward.

As you should know, there are several "Searchlight Arm" monitoring the passageway outside the door... so carrying the old lady out like this would inevitably lead to her being discovered.

However.

The moment Han Dong stepped out the door...

Click-clack~~ All the searchlights crowding the passageway went out of order, and arms drooped down.

"What happened?"

Han Dong memorized all the information he saw and felt, as it might come in handy in the future.

Carrying this old woman on his back, the "searchlight" will immediately fail no matter where he goes... The two long legs in high heels used to support the searchlight will also collapse to the ground.

"This... the Kaidan Nullification?"

Regarding the old woman's true nature, Han Dong deduced an extremely terrifying conclusion.

Just as Han Dong thinking, a lot of metal cutting and impact sounds came from the front passage... He could vaguely see dozens of long legs piled up in the passage, along with a lot of searchlights that had been cut open and were now fragmented.

Click! Clang! Ring!

Faced with the constant stream of "spotlights," Mia and Winry went all out.

The demon sword and the Blacksmith Hammer, each strike could basically destroy a searchlight...

Moreover, Winry's attack methods seem to be more effective when dealing with such a large number of enemies... Each swing of the hammer carries a huge shockwave that damages the searchlights behind it.

"Um!?"

Just as Winry smashed a searchlight with a hammer and prepared to continue her attack.

Several searchlights piled together in front of them all lost power and lay limp on the ground.

"Vice Captain! This is..."

When Wenli first saw Han Dong, she was quite happy... but the next second when she saw the empty old woman on Han Dong's back, she was so frightened that she quickly backed away.

"Rescue successful, we're preparing to withdraw!"

"Okay... but the captain isn't here."

Han Dong had a bad feeling and immediately asked, "What? Where did Abel go? Weren't you together?"

"After you leave, a large number of searchlights arrive! Their senses are shared, and the ' Lamp Man ' will attack us as soon as any light shines on us."

The captain lured the enemy away by himself.

"Abel... this guy can't be hurt!"

Regardless of their relationship, from a broader perspective, Abel is a crucial pillar of the Holy City... the successor to the Behemoth Knight Order.

Just then.

The old woman pointed in one direction, and the doll in her hand spoke, "Over there..."

"Thanks!"

Han Dong quickly took Mia and Wenli and headed in the direction the old woman pointed.

Inside the tunnel, riddled with holes.

The fully transformed Abel had completely pinned down the much larger [Lamp Man] beneath him... Various torn pieces of flesh were scattered on the ground.

It wasn't just pure flesh; various electrical wires ran through the torn pieces of flesh.

I could feel the presence of living people.

When Abel turned his head, he was met with a pair of scarlet eyes filled with murderous intent and bestiality.

However, upon confirming that it was Han Dong, Abel's body hair slowly retracted into his body, and his bestial nature gradually subsided.

"Get out of here... You can't kill him inside the Supervision Office."

After the old woman reminded him.

The Lamp Man had turned into a pool of black water.

Sizzle!

A burst of electromagnetic interference echoed in everyone's minds.

Thanks to the shielding effect of the iron helmets, everyone quickly regained their senses.

At the other end of the passage, a normal searchlight was mutating due to electromagnetic interference, and soon transformed into Lamp Man wielding a heavy giant axe...
