Reincarnated As The Diabolic System

Chapter 73 72. The Danger!

Angela and the young man finally managed to walk out of that room after taking their time, puking. The entire room that had a hint of a muddy scent mixed with water and fungus had now an addition—vomit.

The girl's nose wrinkled as she walked out of the room. They were back in their previous corridor. She immediately stopped searching walls this time around and discreetly walked toward the brighter side of the tunnel.

It was a do-or-die situation!

The girl walked on and on as the youth followed after her. For some reason, all the groups of destroyers and killers had disappeared. After that old friend of her mom, Angela didn't notice a single soul around.

Did they die or something?

She didn't know.

She could only walk in the dark as she got closer to the brighter end. The more she walked, the clearer the corridor became.

The walls on either side of her weren't any different from that room. They had a muddy texture filled with something sticky and wet as the upper corner was covered with fungus. She didn't dare to touch the wall anymore after what she had experienced.

As soon as she got closer enough to the other end, she smelled a hint of blood in the air, making her frown. She finally opened her mouth and mumbled, "I hope we don't die….."

Shane was also tracking the entire surround through his radar system, but he didn't find a single monster. His brows knitted at this as he continued to stare at the area.

Something was wrong. He remembered hearing screams of other hosts from this area. And those screams were ear piercing, the kind that occurs only when someone is going to die.

People couldn't just die out of nowhere.

He was on alert at this time as he continued to stare at the radar and the screen simultaneously. Just then, they reached the bright side only to find a metal door at the center with a bulb hanging from the roof. It flickered now and then, making it seem like a scene directly from a horror video game or something.

A frown crossed her forehead, "Is this where people died?"

The young man shrugged, "We should enter."

If it was before, Angela definitely would have argued with the man, but at this time, her entire body smelled of sweat, blood, and vomit. To top it off, her limbs twitched now and then, being at their weaker disposition.

She wasn't even in her right mind to focus as she stared dazedly at the metal door. She took a deep breath and walked ahead, pushing the door with her right hand.

As soon as she did, a bright light attacked her eyes, making them squint. She covered up her face, "Why is it so bright?!"

The young man didn't respond. She thought he was just being rude and was about to thrash him as she turned around and stared at the empty slot behind her.

Angela's frown deepened. Where did the door go?

The place where there was a door not too long ago got replaced by a wall. A trace of fear sneaked itself into her heart. She trembled.

She wasn't in another hallucination, was she?

The fear gripped her heart tighter than ever as she thought of her previous experience. No, it couldn't be! The man had just been separated from her because he was late!

Yes, that must be the case!

She hypnotized herself as she turned around and focused on the room. The entire place was covered with metal walls and tables. Blank screens covered the entire area at the front while the left and right sides of the medium size room were filled with shelves.

Angela happened to glance at the left shelf only to have the color from her face drained. There were multiple jars with human organs dipped inside water. Bubbles formed around the organs which made it look even more horrifying.

She quickly averted her eyes and didn't dare to glance at that place anymore, "What the heck is all this?"

"It looks more like a lab or something," said Shane as he watched the girl walking closer to the row of screens placed in front of him and pressing a button on the keyboard.

"Hey, don't press things indiscriminately!" Shane glared at the scene as he watched the girl brazenly pressing things.

She ignored the system as she clicked on the switch-on button, but nothing happened. She heaved a sigh of relief as her shoulders relaxed. But before she could open her mouth, the light above their heads attached to the ceiling flickered.

The light turned off all of a sudden. Angela's body tensed as she stared at the scene in front of her eyes. She quickly pulled out her sword and held it in her trembling hands.

She shouldn't have played with things around here! She quickly turned and backed away a few steps. Before she could even do anything, the entire surrounding changed.

All kinds of monsters appeared around her. There were snakes, wolves, and all the others she had ever seen after coming here. Not only that, they were thousands in number!

Her body trembled, on the verge of falling to the ground as she gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with her trembling hands, "System, what should I do??"

Shane looked at the scene expressionlessly and said, "You shouldn't have done something I warned you against! This is all your fault!"

"Wu….." Angela started crying at that moment. "I know... can you tell me the solution now already?"

Shane had a headache at this moment. He pressed his forehead and massaged his temples and said, "I'll take control of your body in a while. Just….. manage until then."

The first half gave the girl relief, but when she heard the other half, her entire body stiffened. She chuckled nervously as snakes around her hissed and let out their tongues. They seemed to be hungry for some reason.

Angela didn't dare to look around again, "You've got to be kidding me! How can I fight these?"

"Are they attacking you yet?" Shane reminded her, "They are just standing like that. So if you don't move, they won't do anything either."

"Are you sure?" Angela seemed to see the light.

Shane nodded, "Yup. I'm positive."

He wasn't really sure, but he had to stabilize his host first. The girl was like a vacancy fuse that would go off just by a small stimulation. If not, the situation might take a worse turn, making him even fail the first exam.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm his anxious heart. He knew that even if this host died, nothing would happen because passing the test didn't depend on whether the host lived or not.

They were going to be evaluated based on their performances. But still, this was Shane's second-ever job as a system. He didn't want to be the reason for someone's death even if it was a virtual world.

His righteousness seemed unnecessary at the moment, but he couldn't help it.

He was just a common human being before he died. Who in the common world would think of killing others and be happy with it?

This time, Angela listened to him. She stood there, trembling, without moving a muscle. She didn't even dare to breathe loudly and blink furiously. She even tried to minimize her trembling, but she failed miserably.

But the stare of the monsters around her seemed to have gotten darker and deeper. The amount of saliva they kept on leaking through their mouths doubled.

Angela sobbed, "They're really hungry! Do something!"

Shane glanced at his account and gritted his teeth, "I have no money to artificially buy your body control! Can't you control your trembling?"

"No….. please….."

Before they could continue to banter, they suddenly felt a wave of dark energy, suppressing them. At least, that's what Shane felt from the shared senses. This dark aura was so powerful that it almost rivaled him!

Shane couldn't help but frown. There seemed to be a powerful enemy in the background who wanted to harm him for some reason. He still remembered the horror of being in a severe world after getting hacked.

Even though this current world was also severe, the monster was way too powerful this time. He could tell just by feeling the aura that the monster should be almost a hundred-level! The oppressive aura made even him feel a cold sweat on his back.

Something was wrong with this world. He could feel it in his bones.

He suppressed his anxiety and glanced at his account. For some reason, even Crana seemed to have been frozen on the spot. Was he really not getting any money? Or could it be someone who hacked the server again?

He quickly opened the chat box and texted Jake, "Hey, are you there?"

The other system was like a chatterbox, who would find any small opportunity to talk to others, especially harass Shane out of his mind. But this time even the chatterbox stayed silent.

Something was wrong.

Shane had a bad foreboding in his heart as he took deep breaths to calm himself. Just a few minutes more, and he would be able to use the free body control item!
