Investigator Battle Mode (Thanks for everyone's support for the bonus updates)
The moment Han Su stepped through the door, his vision went black, and he abruptly stopped in his tracks.
He was still holding the unlucky man in front of him, keeping him upright as he warily and quickly scanned the area from behind this "shield."
The place behind this door was definitely not a normal cake shop.
There was no counter, no cake display case, or any other fixtures. There wasn't even any decoration. The walls all around seemed to shimmer with an unreal glow, making the room look more like some crude, unstable, illusory space.
Three or four meters directly ahead of him, a simple, strange symbol had been drawn on the floor.
In the middle of the symbol lay a corpse. It looked like it had been dead for a long time. Much of its flesh had rotted away, but the decayed areas gleamed with a crystal-like luster.
The flesh around its head had almost completely rotted away, and the exposed bone gave off a hallucinatory sheen.
Strange, twisted halos could even be seen seeping out of the corpse from time to time, forming indistinct shadows. They struggled and stretched, floated past him, then drifted out through the door.
The shadows clinging to the living people outside had all seeped out of this corpse.
"Where are Song Chushi and the Strange Bird Investigator?"
The space was tiny, so he could see everything at a glance. But there wasn't a single living person in sight—only him and the corpse.
They had clearly entered this "door" before him. Where were they now?
As the thought crossed his mind, he raised the Briefcase in his hand and held it to one side. Claws scraped against it with a grating sound.
