Chapter 33: Ive Killed a Lot of People, What Are You Going To Do About It? (1/2)

Jane chanted each and every word that Calvin told them earlier to herself.

”Continue without any care... Don't pay attention to the weird things happening...”

Jane softly uttered.

She was scared but with her friends standing in front of her, she felt a strange sense of security.

They had been walking through this dark corridor for a few minutes now, yet they still couldn't see the end.

Jane felt somewhat bored.

Scarlette was protecting Zahra at the center of their formation, while Jane was being protected by Hugo behind her.

At first, she wanted to talk with Hugo, but since Hugo looked quite scary. She didn't say anything. But not saying anything was basically the same as forcing her not to breathe. Speaking was Jane's forte, though that talent of her didn't show itself inside this madhouse.

Staring at the others who were whispering with each other.

Jane puffed her cheeks. She found this silence quite unbearable as she turned around and said...

”Sir Hugo... Thank you for your service and I'm really sorry that you have to...”

Jane abruptly stopped her speech.

Her flashlight dropped onto the ground and it created a loud sound that startled everyone.

”What goes there?!” Nicholas, who was the closest to her swiftly turned around, and so did the others.

”What's going on, Jane?” Calvin saw that the commotion came from Jane.

He raised his eyebrows, but when the light of his flashlight landed on nothing behind Jane.

His pupils constricted as he asked, ”Where did Hugo go?”

”H-Hugo... H-He... He was just walking right beside me and when I turned around, he was already gone!” Jane's expression was pale and she almost went hysterical. How could a person just simply disappear from another person's side without causing any commotion nor leaving any trace?

That was impossible!

It shouldn't happen at all!

Yet, such a strange phenomenon occurred here.

And the one that disappeared was the strongest of them all, the source of their courage and the bastion of reassurance for their weary hearts.

Hugo.

”W-Where did he go? Did he get lost?” Roy uttered a whisper.

”Get lost? Do you really think that someone like him can get lost? He's been consumed! He's been captured by the madmen in this place! And now that he's gone, we're next! Hahaha...” Philip who had been silent the whole time suddenly let out a boisterous laugh.

”What the fuck did you say?” Nicholas rushed up to him and sent a punch directly on his face, ”How dare you curse us! If you want to die, then go die along, you asshole!”

”Are you saying that I am wrong? Hahaha, no I am not wrong... This place is mad... This place is mad, and none of us can escape from this madness!” Philip spread his arms wide and shouted at the skies.

”Wha... What is he doing...?” Rose and the other girls were terrified of his strange actions.

Calvin furrowed his eyebrows.

He rushed at Philip and sent an attack directly at his nape.

He planned on rendering him unconscious, so he couldn't spout more nonsense.

But Philip unexpectedly blocked his attack with a single hand!

”You... You've gone mad...” Calvin whispered in shock.

There was one particular reason why this mental asylum was particularly dangerous for those with lowered mental faculties. It was because those with lowered mental faculties could possibly turn mad similar to what happened to the patients in this place.

When one stared at the abyss, the abyss stares back.

This sentence was an undeniable truth in Mount Spirit Sword Asylum.

At this moment, one of them finally lost it and had gone mad.

Calvin gnashed his teeth.

He clenched his fists and sent an attack directly above the head of Philip. He planned on directly ending his life by attacking a crucial acupoint on top of his head, but he didn't expect that Philip could react so quickly. Before his attack could even approach Philip's head.

Philip had already sent a kick at Calvin's chest, sending him flying towards the walls.

Bang!

A dull thud rang out.
