It's Here... It's Here

His body felt heavier and heavier.

It's so heavy!

I'm so tired!

I want to stop.

Why is my body so heavy?

The eldest brother looked as if he had been pulled out of the water; his entire body was soaked in sweat.

His breathing became increasingly difficult, as if someone was tightening their grip on his neck.

The leader's eyes twitched, but his feet continued to run forward mechanically.

For some reason, his thoughts seemed to be affected by something; he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

And those bastards, they always say they'd risk their lives to protect him, but now that they're really in danger, they're all running away faster than the next one.

But why is his body so heavy?

These people do dangerous jobs, and while their skills aren't top-notch, they're still much better than the average person. At least, they've all had some training.

As their leader, you can't be the leader of this group if you don't have some skills.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be this tired after running just a few steps.

It feels like carrying a huge mountain on my back.

Haha, but how could that be? If he really was carrying a mountain on his back, how could he not realize it?

The eldest brother reached out with difficulty and touched the increasingly tight neck... His hand touched a patch of smooth skin.

His bewildered mind was instantly jolted awake.

He seemed to have touched something.

The eldest brother rolled his eyes. What was that?

He slowly turned his neck, and then, unexpectedly, his eyes met those of a face resting on his shoulder.

"Aaaaaah!"

The eldest brother was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

He desperately tried to pry at the arms that were tightly gripping his neck.

Let go! Let go of me now.

The person lying on top of him was none other than Xikuma.

Xikuma tightened his grip on his arms, holding onto his neck tightly and refusing to let go.

The eldest brother's face grew redder and redder, then turned purple, and his breathing became increasingly difficult.

Xikuma clung to his back, holding on tightly, refusing to let go. He leaned close to his ear and whispered in a strange tone, "Why... why send me to my death...?"

The eldest brother's pupils were somewhat unfocused. "No, it wasn't me..."

"It was you, you lured that thing here, and you're the one who killed me... So, I want you all to come down and join me."

Xikuma's resentful tone made the leader tremble with fear. He couldn't catch his breath, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

And then I saw him faint.

Xikuma, who was under control, loosened his grip to avoid actually sending the person down.

Seeing his boss so terrified by the demon, Xikuma, while enduring the pain himself, felt a pang of sympathy for his boss.

They were all tortured so horribly by the devil.

Although that group of people ran away, they didn't actually escape.

Soon, the sound of their footsteps drew closer.

The group fled frantically, not even bothering to look at their surroundings.

Upon seeing the two people sitting in front of them, they ran towards them with a mixture of fear and uncertainty, unsure whether to approach.

One of the sharp-eyed men spotted their leader lying on the ground, and their companion Xikuma, crouching there.

They then suppressed their fear and approached, asking, "Boss, boss, what's wrong, boss?"

"Xikuma, you and the boss are really fast; you've even gotten ahead of us."

"What's wrong, boss? Are you too tired?"

Xikuma's consciousness was both painful and exhausted. After hearing his idiotic companion say that, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and curse Fang Yi with every swear word he could think of.

Unfortunately, he couldn't control his body, so this thought could only remain in his mind.

Fuck, you bunch of idiots!

And that's when this little incident happened.

Only then did these guys, blinded by fear, stop and carefully consider their current situation.

"That's strange. We've been running for so long; even if it were a twenty-story building, we should be on the ground by now."

Why are we still stuck on the stairs?

"Gentlemen, it seems like this place is still, still on the fourth floor."

Finally, someone discovered the number printed on the wall that represented the fourth floor.

His face was contorted with grief, and his voice began to tremble.

Although they all knew that the thing they had led there was very fierce and evil, and they had seen the fate of those who encountered it.

But ultimately, I only saw it; I didn't experience it firsthand.

Now, having experienced it firsthand, the fear it evokes is incomparable and indescribable.

Their bodies went limp at once, their legs trembling as if they were shaking.

Fear and Hopeless instantly enveloped them.

At this moment.

The lights above their heads suddenly turned on, and then, as if there was a malfunction, began to flicker.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

The sound of electricity inexplicably intensified their fear.

One person's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had seen something, and he muttered to himself, "It's here... it's here..."

"It's coming!!!"

"Ahhhh, no... don't come any closer..."

He suddenly and unusually ran up the stairs.

Before anyone could stop him, they could only hear him screaming in despair, his voice fading into the distance.

Upon reaching the top, his voice ceased, and then a heavy object suddenly fell from the stairwell, crashing heavily to the ground.

In the dimly lit stairwell, they saw nothing.

However, the sound of that heavy object falling to the ground and crashing into the ground entered everyone's brain and was deeply imprinted in their minds.

Another person broke down, but after running only a few steps, blood suddenly began to seep from his body.

He watched in horror as his body changed, the extreme pain causing him to scream in agony. He reached out to his companions beside him, wanting to beg for help.

Those people, terrified, avoided him, not daring to touch him.

"Save me, I don't want to die."

The man ran towards them in agony, but he hadn't gone far when, as if he had seen something terrifying, his eyes widened suddenly.

Then.

He suddenly exploded.

Blood splattered all over everyone nearby.

The expressions on those people's faces froze instantly.

They died in the exact same way.

These people knew perfectly well that the creatures targeting them were indeed the strange things they had lured there.

They touched what should not be touched for money.

In the end, they will be devoured by this untouchable thing and die without a burial place.

The eldest brother was awakened by a scream.

In his hazy state, he seemed to hear the voices of his gang of henchmen. When he woke up, he saw one of his henchmen explode into a pile of minced meat right in front of him.
