Chapter 214 - How Mad The World Is (1/2)

”Don't raise your guard on me. Even though I am looking like this, I am not going to harm you. Besides, it seems you also know some strange arts too. If that is the case, you are not going to be in danger at all.”

Currently, I am following the big black cat that appeared earlier after fighting against the abominations that suddenly appeared earlier.

”Tell me, what are those things?” I asked the black cat.

”You can call me Kurai human, also, if you are asking about those things that you killed earlier, then they are the remnants of the experiments done to them. They are one of the things that have been constantly under experiments in the past and when they can no longer handle it, their bodies break down, making what you are currently seeing on them right now.”

”Experiments?”

”Yes, they should be previously a normal, either a rat, a rabbit, cat, or a dog depending on the experiments. However, there are also some occasions that the experiments do not just range on animals, but also on humans too.”

”So are you saying among the monsters I killed, there are some that were previously a human?”

”Nope. Those things are just from animals. As for the humans, they are on another scale and they mutated differently compared to the monsters you just beat up. Don't worry, you haven't killed any person just yet.”

”Just yet?”

”We don't know whether you will be killing one. Almost all of the mutated creatures are hostile to living creatures especially a human. It is a rare instance for an experimented creature to remain its sanity after all of the torment it got.”

”Like you?”

”Yes. In my case, I didn't suffer much from the experimentations and managed to keep myself sane. However, some are not as strong-minded as me. They might have already broken down as soon as the experiment begins.”

”Who is doing these horrible things? Why is this person doing this?”

”I am afraid I don't know. I just managed to escape right now due to you triggering the trap that was meant to capture the one who just entered the premises without any sort of approval to the higher one. But if it was approved, there is no way I would be walking around right now.”

We continue to walk on the hallway that seems to lead deeper into the ”facility” that this mansion hides.

”Where are we going now?”

”I am not too familiar with this place but I have passed by here a few times back then when I was still being experimented. I am just leading you to the deepest area since it seems like you are looking for something related to this facility.”

I didn't respond to Kurai since my real goal is to find my father. Although it is not part of my goal to look for the situation of the mansion's facility, this is something that has taken my attention. To think that experimentation on living beings, converting them to monstrous things is happening in real life. I thought it was just a plot in movies, novels, and even in games just to make an antagonist or a monster for the climax part but it seems like I was wrong.

As we dwell deeper, I heard the scream that I heard earlier. This time, it is louder and it is coming in this place.

”What's going on?”

”It seems like it is in the process of making some experiments on a poor victim. I didn't expect that they would still keep on doing that wretched way.”

”Should we save them?” I look at Kurai.

”If I would be the one to be the one on the say, I won't do it. It is risky, dangerous, and most likely, the person you are going to save will no longer be someone you can save.”

Kurai is right. Even if you can try to save all of them, that doesn't mean you can save them without any complications or even setbacks.

”Let's proceed further.”

As we move to the next hallway, a swarm of those failed things appeared once again but this time, they are already out when we arrived. The moment the swarm noticed us, they started to get hostile and they begin their attack.

Seeing the situation, I quickly materialize the Versatile Weapon and start attacking the creatures that come to me. As for Kurai, it seems like Kurai is not affected by the attacks.

”The creatures here do not view me as a living being and they already differentiate me as one of them so instead of attacking me, they will focus all on you so I can't do anything to help you with it.”
