Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Office Building
Inner layer of the paradise.

Mr. Aha’s ‘store’ was set up through a spatial trick within a hidden crevice in the space.

With no restrictions, the grocery store was quite large, with several rooms set up.

[Clue and Evidence Room], [Props Room], [Living Thing Room], [Chess and Cards Room], [Massage Room]…

Towards the back, various strange rooms appeared, up to the very end where it corresponded to a storeroom.

Mr. Aha seemed to be able to control everything in the grocery store.

When Han Dong opened the door to the storeroom, it was left with only four folding beds.

It was an excellent transitional process to seriously think about the clues he received.

“Mr Aha… is quite nice.”

Lying on the folding bed, Abe was in a state of fleeing from tension, and the moment he transitioned to the safe and comfortable folding bed, his fluffy pointed ears popped out from his hair.

Han Dong shrugged, “Mostly because of vested interests… that said, thanks for the last part of the escape route, Captain Abe.”

“We don’t need such courtesies among us… Moreover, you, Nicholas, are lighter than the average Apprentice Knight, I hardly felt anything with you on my back.”

Han Dong was not a saint, after experiencing a long period of nerve-wracking tension, he too needed to clear his head and have a good rest.

Therefore, Han Dong’s attention turned to another interesting place.

Staring at Abe’s fluffy beast ears that were exposed from his white hair, Han Dong curiously asked.

“Abe… it seems like whenever you get excited, relaxed or enter a battle state, you ‘grow hair’?”

When Han Dong brought up this issue, Abe was a bit embarrassed.

“Well…it’s a personal physical issue.

Due to the stronger beast nature within me than the other members of the Behemoth Knight Group, even with continuous training since I was young, I still cannot fully control it… If I get too excited, the beast nature will manifest itself externally.

During a battle I need to let my beast nature out, and thus my body naturally undergoes certain changes.”

In fact, as a biology professor, Han Dong understood Abe’s traits very well.

Anyone who has a little understanding of genetics knows that genes hold infinite possibilities.

The reason why humans look the way they do is precisely the result of the expression of some genes and the suppression of others.

If some of the suppressed beast genes in human beings get expressed, or if the core expression genes of beasts are used to replace the suppressed human genes through a procedure akin to slicing.

[Beast Transformation] is achievable.

Just as Han Dong was about to ask some deeper questions about [Hundred Beasts].

Mia and Winry approached with a look that seemed to have been bewitched by cuteness, staring at Abe’s beast ears that accidentally popped out, “Captain Abe… could we pinch your ears?”

“It’s better… not to.”

Before he could decline, Mia already started rubbing.

She even actively pulled the shy Winry into the mix to touch them together.

“Wow! So soft, so comforting!!”

Mia’s entire body felt like it was about to melt.

Mia hastily asked, “Speaking of Captain Abe, if with your current abilities you still can’t fully control the beast nature, then what about when you were young?”

As this topic was brought up, Abe was even more embarrassed, even his cheeks turned a bit red.

“Well…when I was young, I was basically in a Beast Man state.”

“A little white ax?!”

Mia seemed to have visualized Abe’s appearance as a child, and was so cute her eyes were shining.

At this point, Han Dong suddenly reminded, “Hurry up and sleep… Sleeping in the inner layer of paradise is a very luxurious thing.”

Mia cast him a scornful look, “Hmm…aren’t you just jealous? Come on!

Captain Abe definitely won’t mind, he was even carrying you just now… But next time I meet that handsome blonde guy, I’ll tell him all about these things.”

Han Dong, however, turned and went to sleep on his own.

Four hours later.

The paradise.

Inside the gloomy main entrance of a certain dark and eerie office building.

A plump security guard, with elaborate corpse makeup on his face, stood beside the main entrance of the office building.

At the same time.

Inside a certain elevator deep in the lobby, the lights flickered non-stop.

Every time the elevator door is about to close, a head will suddenly poke out, causing the elevator door to reopen due to the obstruction.

Inside the elevator stood a young office worker, with both sides of his head bloody and mangled.

This process keeps repeating.

At this moment.

Whoosh…

Above the head of the security guard a metallic glint appeared, suddenly pierced by a sharp weapon… The icy cold aura accompanied by the curse of the Demon Sword instantly killed him.

The instant the kill was made.

The Demon Sword was thrown out forcefully, the trail at the end carried a curse aura, guiding the Demon Sword to its target, flying straight out.

Right at the moment when the head was stuck in the elevator door, it was pierced through the temple.

Double Kill!

Mia waved her hand, the Demon Sword she had claimed as hers was immediately drawn by a strand of cursed aura, after spinning several times in the air, it flew straight back into Mia’s hand.

“Are these Strange Tales a bit too simple?”

Mia doubted the easy 1v2 result she achieved herself.

“It’s not simple…” Han Dong, his Little Demon Eye opened on his forehead, scanned up and down the building, “Perhaps this building itself corresponds to a large-scale Strange Tale.

The security guard you killed and the young man stuck in the elevator door, their auras are the same.

Even after death, a large part of their bodies was frozen by the cold, but a small part of their aura still merged back into this building… They were just a small part of this place.”

This sentence made Mia shudder all over, she quickly grew several Spider Compound Eyes, immediately observing the surroundings.

“Don’t be nervous… everything is normal for now.”

Han Dong had been observing everything in secret.

‘After the two’ were killed by Mia, the overall aura of the office building did not change, giving a sort of [Neutral] feeling.

More importantly.

The reason why Han Dong and the others came here was because of a clue given that at the current time range (PM5:00~7:30), the [Abyssal Public Toilet] and the bathroom on the 13th floor of this building would have a 71% chance of merging.

However, Strange Tales tend to conflict with each other.

But the Public Toilet was able to appear in this office building, which to some extent indicated that the building itself might also be a [Neutral] existence like Mr. Aha.

However, all of these are just Han Dong’s speculations, not necessarily correct.

This building had its own power supply, even the elevators were available to use.

However, ‘Elevator Murder’ scenes were too common in horror movies, Han Dong still chose to take the stairs… However, after at least more than 20 floors in the stairwell, the indicator inside the stairwell was still [1].

“Forcing us to take the elevator?”

When Han Dong reluctantly walked out of the safety passageway.

At some point, a young and beautiful elevator operator was already standing at the entrance of a bright and clean elevator, waiting for their entrance.

Only, the operator’s nails seemed to have not been trimmed for several years, making them excessively long.
