Tremors

Zhou Mingrui stared at the elevator descending until the doors closed.

He suppressed his inner impulse and did not choose to take the elevator to the Underground Area of Mushu Hospital to find out what was going on.

He needs more intelligence.

Zhou Mingrui withdrew his gaze and walked towards the elevator exit, intending to take a stroll around the nearby Public Restroom, just as he had pretended before.

Suddenly, he looked toward the corner to the side, as if something was hidden in the darkness there.

Zhou Mingrui stared for a while but found nothing unusual.

He continued walking diagonally forward and turned into the Public Restroom.

After a few seconds, he Hide in the Shadows, blended into the darkness, and circled back into the area, quietly observing.

After patiently waiting for nearly five minutes to confirm that there were no possible peepers in the corresponding corner, he returned to the Public Restroom, pretending that he had just finished a major life event, and slowly walked out towards the Emergency Blood Draw Station.

It wasn't until Zhou Mingrui's figure entered the brightly lit area that Lumian's beautiful, black-haired figure was reflected on the metal door of the Surgery room in the elevator lobby.

He was wearing a light gray T-shirt and a jacket that was even lighter than a jet black. His off-white trousers were rolled up slightly at the ankles because he was so tall, revealing the edges of his socks.

"Very spiritual, very intuitive. This doesn't seem like an ' Assassin ' who's only at Sequence 9..." Lumian murmured in admiration.

He knew, of course, that Zhou Mingrui couldn't simply be Sequence 9 "Assassin".

Just now, he hid in that corner using the "Invisibility" method, and as soon as Zhou Mingrui made a move to go to the Underground area of the hospital, he would immediately try to stop him. Who knew that he was almost discovered by Zhou Mingrui.

Fortunately, he wasn't just a "Hunter" and a "Witch." With a single "Flash," he moved to a different location and Concealment completely inside the metal mirror formed by the elevator hall door.

Lumian stepped out of the elevator and was about to stealthily approach the Emergency Center along the mostly dark lobby when he suddenly felt a vibration under his feet.

It was like a subtle Earthquake, or perhaps a minor explosion that occurred Underground.

Lumian stopped, lowered his head, and stared at the Stone Bricks ground.

"Something has happened in the Underground Area?" Lumian muttered to himself in confusion.

Seeing the Wooden Door in front of them open, Franca, holding Rosanne, slipped and quickly hid in the side shadow cast by the dim light.

Then, she merged with the shadows, and had Rosanne pressed against the wall behind her, using her own "shadow" to provide better cover.

At the same time, Jenna used "Invisibility".

In the blink of an eye, before the Wooden Door was fully opened, the three of them had already Concealment.

This time, it was once again a Caregiver wearing light blue clothes and a white mask who pushed the transfer bed in.

But unlike before, there was a Patient lying on the transfer bed covered with a thin blanket.

The Patient was in his twenties, wearing a loose blue and white checkered hospital gown. His long, Golden hair fell gently to his sides. His forehead was neither too wide nor too narrow, but smooth and beautiful. His Eyes were emerald green, and he had a melancholy and serene demeanor.

Her most noticeable feature was her prominently swollen belly, suggesting she was more than seven months Pregnancy.

Pushing the Patient around... "Where are the wards and examination rooms in the Underground Area?" Franca muttered to herself.

Of course, she knew that rationality was a scarce element where the Dream Subconsciousness and the Abyss symbolized by the "Mother Tree of Desire" merged.

The foreign pregnant woman lying on the transfer bed might just be the psychological trauma that "The Fool" or That One Celestial Worthy once suffered!

Rosanne, who was being shielded by Franca, didn't see the foreign pregnant woman until the transfer bed had passed the spot where the two were hiding.

Her gaze suddenly froze.

That was... that was the woman she had just seen in her dream!

Although the other person had one eye gouged out and was hanging near its socket, and had deep, flesh-losing wounds on its face, with head-like Blood-Colored growths on both sides of its shoulders, Rosanne recognized her at a glance.

Rosanne bit her lip, trying not to make a sound out of surprise.

Just then, a baby's cry rang out from the pregnant woman's swollen belly on the transfer bed:

"Wow!"

Franca instantly bristled:

You're not even born yet, what the hell are you crying for?

The crying caused the hidden fears in Franca, Jenna, and Rosanne to erupt simultaneously, leading to uncontrollable extra movements.

Franca then emerged from the shadows, and Jenna could no longer remain "Invisibility."

Suddenly, the Caregiver, with Cavern and wooden gaze, turned her head to look at Jenna, while the foreign pregnant woman on the transfer bed also sat up and looked at Franca and Rosanne.

"I'll risk it! "Franca gritted her Teeth and disappeared.

Her plan was to temporarily fend off the Caregiver and the foreign pregnant woman, then seize the opportunity to escape to the next area through the double Wooden Door.

Based on their previous experience, the "Monster" in the current area do not leave their "Territory".

The next second, the Caregiver's eyes became more visible, and he exuded a cold aura as he strode up to Jenna.

Jenna disappeared again, leaving the Caregiver empty-handed.

Immediately afterward, her figure flashed behind the Caregiver, and she plunged the sharp Dagger in her hand into the Caregiver's back.

Puff!

Her Dagger was like a needle piercing metal and Ironwood; it only pierced through clothing but couldn't penetrate the skin.

Jenna was not shocked. She made the quiet, Evil "Witch" Black Flame appear on the surface of the Dagger and quickly poured them into the Caregiver's body.

Suddenly, the Caregiver, whose inhumanity intensified, was Burning in "Witch" Black Flame from the inside out. He wailed silently as his spirituality and life began to rapidly ebb away.

On the other side, the first thing Franca did was also to use "Invisibility," while Rosanne took a few steps and ran more than ten meters in a flash.

Franca appeared in front of the transfer bed, holding Mirror that reflected the image of the foreign pregnant woman.

Almost simultaneously, she pressed her palm, covered in quiet Black Flame, against the mirror.

Throughout the process, the foreign pregnant woman's reaction appeared quite slow, just like that of Ordinary Person.

She then saw black Flames erupting from her stomach and heard the baby's cries growing louder.

She let out a piercing and Pain scream, and her figure vanished from the transfer bed.

But when she reappeared in the direction Franca had planned to escape, the Evil Black Flame on her body were still Burning, growing ever stronger.

With a series of cracking sounds, the foreign pregnant woman's flesh seemed to melt away, falling to the ground piece by piece.

Sensing her breath rapidly fading and seeing the Caregiver collapse to the ground, motionless, Franca felt a sense of unreality and bewilderment.

Is that all?

The giant Mushrooms creature was an exception; the "Monster" in the Underground Area of Mushu Hospital were also suppressed to Sequence 7.

No, you can't think like that; making promises you can't keep is wrong...

Before Franca could even process what was happening, she saw the foreign pregnant woman collapse, her abdomen tearing open inch by inch, as if something was trying to burst out.

At the same time, the pieces of flesh and blood that the foreign pregnant woman dropped on the ground also underwent Mutation.

Some of them merged with the floor tiles, transforming into the shape of Womb, giving birth to square-shaped babies with eyebrows and eyes; others bumped into the transfer bed, causing the bluish mechanical bed surface to suddenly bulge out, sprang forth one small bed after another with human heads and wheels for limbs; some flew onto the ceiling, causing the energy-saving lights to suddenly brighten, giving birth to dozens of children with human bodies and light bulb heads...

Franca and Jenna instinctively took seven or eight steps back towards the Mushrooms man, looking completely dumbfounded.

Is this the psychological shadow of Great Ones?

No wonder it's the psychological shadow of Great Ones!

Don't come any closer!

I don't want to have a baby!

In a panic, Franca drew her Iron-Black "Certain-Hit Gun".

She discovered that the foreign pregnant woman was not completely dead, but was still producing more flesh and blood, which was wriggling and searching for a new mother or Paternal Parent, constantly giving birth, and giving birth again and again.

In addition, the foreign pregnant woman's abdomen had completely ruptured, and the fetus inside was about to crawl out.

Franca forced herself to calm down, aimed at the foreign pregnant woman's abdomen, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A bullet, emitting a dull bluish-green hue, shot out, passing through a large number of oddly shaped infants and toddlers, accurately hitting its target and piercing the abdomen of a foreign pregnant woman.

"Certain Death!"

The baby's cries in the foreign pregnant woman's womb suddenly became intense and venomous, but then stopped abruptly.

Similarly, the foreign pregnant woman stopped producing blood and flesh, and the cells that had differentiated from her died after giving birth to a new fetus.

Fortunately, "Certain Death" worked... Franca breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Just then, she, Jenna, and Rosanne felt the earth tremble.

The tremor lasted only a second, but Franca and the others saw outside the Wooden Door, the new corridor collapsing inch by inch, along with the walls, rooms, and ceilings, all falling into a bottomless Abyss filled with thick blackness.

The collapse slowly spread towards the current area.

Franca and Jenna sensed something; one looked up at the high place, while the other turned her head to look at the area where the giant Mushrooms man was located, which was blocked by the Wooden Door.

Franca noticed that the ceiling above her was also collapsing, but instead of hitting them, it was falling directly into a seemingly bottomless, dense darkness. Jenna, on the other hand, saw that the area where the giant Mushrooms man was located was also collapsing, with the collapse spreading towards where they were.

"Did killing that foreign pregnant woman trigger the Mutation in the Underground Area?"

"No, this might be the true state of the Underground Area of Mushu Hospital, a dark Abyss containing all sorts of psychological shadows and Library... What we just walked through and saw was merely a disguise influenced by the Dream City; the corridors and some rooms symbolized safe zones..."

Franca suddenly had this realization.

"What... what should we do?" Rosanne finally overcame her panic.

She was first Corruption by the hundreds and thousands of Monster babies and their birth process, then realized that she and her companions seemed to have nowhere to go.
