Chapter 20：Did I Scare You All? (1/2)

Calvin didn't bother about these newbies anymore.

He turned around, squeezed the doorknob, and opened the door.

The corridor outside was incredibly dark but it was temporarily illuminated by the light of the room where he was in.

He looked down and saw the mutilated body of a person clad in the security outfit of Mount Spirit Sword Asylum. A disgusting smell wafted out of the body, but since the blood was still wet. It was obvious that the person died recently, possibly in the last few hours.

Calvin took one final glance at the newbies before he finally closed the door.

The corridor became dark once again.

The darkness, accompanied by the cold breeze that occasionally swept past Calvin from out of nowhere, could definitely send shivers down the spines of anyone.

However, this was the second time that he entered Mount Spirit Sword Asylum.

He had prior experience and he also had a map of the Asylum.

Calvin started walking.

Ding!

[You have entered the Administration Block.]

”As I expected, I really am in the Administration Block...” Calvin softly whispered.

He stuck his body close to the wall and started moving his way towards the end of the corridor.

Soon, his hand caught the presence of a doorknob.

He squeezed the doorknob and found that the door wasn't locked.

Turning around, he gently pushed the doors open and a gory scene revealed itself in front of him.

Right before Calvin was the mutilated and naked corpses of the employees of this Asylum.

Mixed among the bodies of these men was the body of a nurse.

Her mouth was wide open and her pupils constricted in the same fear that she felt before dying.

Furthermore, Calvin could see some evidence on her naked body that she suffered a lot of humiliation from the patients here before she was finally killed out of mercy.

”Fucking hell...”

Calvin softly cursed.

The floor was slick with the blood of these corpses.

His eyebrows were furrowed from the disgusting smell, yet he didn't stop himself from exploring the place.

The room had the lights on, so it wasn't a problem for Calvin to find what he needed.

He collected the walkie-talkies of the officers. Fiddling with it, he discovered that they were still working.

'We could probably use this as our means for communication if worse comes to worst.' Calvin pondered.

He then took the flashlights of the guards strapped around their waist.

In this incredibly dark environment of the asylum.

One needed the help of flashlights if they wanted to explore the place without getting lost.

But of course, since the patients of this asylum could detect the presence of flashlights. Their usage must be limited and they should only be used when there was absolutely no light and the person had no idea where they were.

Calvin placed brand-new batteries into the flashlights and made sure that they were working properly before venturing out of the room.

Arriving at the dark corridor, Calvin used the flashlight and discovered that the end of the corridor was blocked by chairs.

The blockage wasn't that difficult to remove, but if they did remove it.

That Butcher would probably detect their presence and rush here to kill them.

”Damn, I didn't expect that the big fucking bastard actually has some brain cells...''

'To think that he could do something like this...'

These chairs served as an early warning system for the Butcher, so they must not be removed at all costs.

However, how should they go out of this corridor and reach the main halls?

Back then, the Butcher didn't appear till they were reaching the end of the final phase, so Calvin now had no idea how they would escape this corridor without alarming the Butcher.

'Guess, I can't do anything other than to actually explore...'

Calvin deeply sighed and closed his flashlight.

He stuck his body close to the wall and whenever he was right by a door. He would place his ears on the walls to try and listen for any signs of activity inside the room beyond the doors. Fortunately, every room in this dark corridor had no living people in them, only corpses.

Soon, Calvin arrived in front of a door that had lights in it.

He extinguished his breath and stuck his ear close to the door.

'There's no one here...'

He twisted the doorknob slightly, and upon discovering that it wasn't locked.

Calvin opened the door and he then found himself standing inside a breakroom.

The breakroom had a huge air vent around it, and one could still smell the scent of tobacco lingering in the air.

A vending machine could be seen beside the sink.

Calvin surveyed the area and he stared right at the air vent.

'I could probably crawl through that vent. But the problem is, I don't know where it leads to...'

'As for the others...'

'Hugo might have some trouble, but it's not impossible for him to squeeze through.'

Calvin repeatedly nodded his head.

He dragged the wooden benches inside the breakroom underneath the air vent.
