The Fallen Merman Chapter 24

Published at 5th of August 2022 01:30:03 PM

The kill broadcast was getting more frequent. In addition to the broadcast about Experiment No. 1513 killing other teams, there was also news about the Ghost Hunting team killing the Moving Bricks on The Construction Site team.

The communicator hanging on Bai Chunian’s ear burst out a loud noise. He Suowei contacted him: “We have reached the fourteenth floor of Building C. There’s a password safe in the center of the hall. Do you have a twelve-digit password?”

Bai Chunian asked, “What kind of password?”

“The box has twelve electronic screens the size of a bottle cap, in six rows and two columns, with a horizontal bar connecting in the middle.”

“Try one line first, A1-B1.”

The communicator went silent for a few seconds, then He Suowei said with relief: “The green light is on in this line, so it should be right. What about the others?”

“Um…” Bai Chunian licked his lips, “Try B1-A1.” 

Suddenly, a shrill siren sounded at the other end of the communicator, followed by the sound of panicked footsteps and He Suowei’s cursing.

“Surnamed Bai, did you just use us to try the passwords?!”

“Ah, I guess the two elevator buttons don’t control each other.” Bai Chunian smiled apologetically, “Run quick! The file in our previous mission says Experiment No. 1513 has a very sensitive sense of hearing and relies on other people’s screams to determine the location when hunting, haha.”

“F&^$* your grandma, when Laozi[1]go out I’ll knock you into dust first.” He Suowei couldn’t care less about arguing with Bai Chunian anymore and yelled at his two remaining team members, “Follow me! Quick!”

Heavy and panicked footsteps thumped through the communicator, and the young man’s hoarse voice pierced through Bai Chunian’s eardrums. Then he heard He Suowei roaring in the communicator: “Wenxiao! What are you doing, come here!”

“Captain… It hurts… I can’t move… I can’t move…”

He Suowei immediately turned back to the hall, his rifle burst into fires to suppress the doorway. He picked He Wenxiao up with one hand and carried him downstairs, and gave him a recovery serum in a rough manner.

“Captain… I saw a round, bloodshot… eyeball, floating into the room just now… no eyelid, it can turn… It saw me, my head hurts.”

He Wenxiao’s arm gradually turned a stiff and dry gray, his five fingers couldn’t even bend. He Suowei handed him over to the last Husky alpha in the team, gave him the recovery serum in his gun belt, and told him to fill up He Wenxiao’s continuously decreasing blood bar one injection after another. 

Bai Chunian knocked on the communicator: “You’re on the 14th floor, right? Go downstairs first, then go to the 10th floor and run along the corridor to Building B, wait on the left elevator entrance.”

He Suowei gritted his teeth: “Think before you speak.”

“No problem, now go hide in the elevator.”

Bai Chunian read another chip and contacted Lu Yan who was guarding the elevator on the third floor of Building A: “Rabbit, press the elevator in front of you to the tenth floor, then press open. Bi Lanxing, press the other one. Hurry up.”

“Received.” 

The reading speed of the chip was obviously slower than the previous one, but Bai Chunian waited patiently. His finger tapped at the table rhythmically. He glanced at Du Mo, “How much time do you have left?”

Du Mo calculated in his mind, “Four minutes.”

“Okay, check the distribution of personnel in Building B first.”

Du Mo checked floor by floor in his mind and told Bai Chunian the status of the personnel distribution. Bai Chunian nodded, “Run quickly, go to Building C and see which elevator has reached the tenth floor, and then press the elevator closest to you to the third floor.”

Du Mo swallowed hard.

“This is a very important matter, it’s worthy of your death. I’ll take one person from your team to the top three.” Bai Chunian put his hand on Du Mo’s head, rubbed it, and raised his eyebrows, “If you’re afraid, you can close your eyes, be obedient.”[2]

The alpha in front of him clearly seemed flippant, but his gentle and leisurely voice was spellbinding, Du Mo reluctantly closed his eyes and ran along the corridor towards Building C.

The tenth floor of Building C was empty and the light was a little dim, the sound of footsteps on the marble floor was particularly ethereal and clear.

Ding!

The electronic voice from the elevator rang out: “You’ve arrived at the tenth floor.”

Du Mo held the wall between the two elevators doors, his fingertips trembled slightly on the floor buttons embedded in the wall, and he contacted Bai Chunian: “The elevator on the left has reached the tenth floor… I, I’ll press the button on the third floor of the elevator on the right…”

“It looks like… something’s in the elevator…” Du Mo’s voice was trembling, he calmed himself forcefully and said, “I’m fine… I still have more than thirty seconds… I think I still have a chance to leave.”

“Well done, don’t be afraid.” Bai Chunian smiled lightly and comforted.

But Du Mo heard Bai Chunian say to another person on the communicator: “Bi Lanxing, press the door button now.”

Du Mo’s eyes widened, the elevator door on his left opened in response, and he subconsciously looked at it. The door opened, and a bloodshot eyeball flew out and slowly floated in front of Du Mo. The pupil was a vertical line of golden orange color, exactly the same as a snake’s eye. After the eye turned a few times, it finally locked on the target and stared at him silently.

In the hall on the tenth floor of Building A, Bai Chunian was still sitting leisurely in the computer chair, swaying his legs lightly. He took off the communicator on his ear and listened to the broadcast in the sky:

Experiment No. 1513 eliminated 【Any Alphas Here】Du Mo.

Rimbaud was expressionless and wasn’t surprised to hear this ending. He sat on the computer table and waved his fishtail in boredom. He glanced at the desert eagle in his hand, and said coldly, “Bully, omega.”

“He predicts, he… will die, no matter what, because you… want to kill him.”

Bai Chunian hummed, “Of course. This crow is too suspicious, I will report it to the president later, his purpose of coming here is not so simple. “

“Okay, now we know a lot of things.” Bai Chunian rested his hands on his cheeks and thought for a while, “Just now Bi Lanxing pressed the A2 elevator button to the tenth floor and opened the door. It’s proof that the A2 elevator button is the button that controls the C1 elevator.”

“When we first came in, we pressed both elevators in Building A, so the open elevator that the Ghost Hunting Team saw when they came in was the one that we pressed open. They’d searched the C1 elevator, but it was still dark at the time, they didn’t know they’d made eye contact with Medusa’s floating eyes, that’s why the team member who searched the elevator was killed.”

“Just now Du Mo pressed the C2 elevator button to the third floor, let’s wait.”

At this moment, the Ghost Hunting team contacted Bai Chunian again: “We’re still on the tenth floor. The B1 elevator door opened. We went in and hid for a while. It’s quiet here, we should be safe for the time being.”

Bai Chunian dug into his ears lazily: “Did you hear anything?”

He Suowei recalled: “I just heard the elevator next to me said ‘arrived on the third floor’.”

“Ok, it’s clear now. What you heard is the B2 elevator. The sound means that the C2 elevator button that Du Mo just pressed controls the B2 elevator, so now we know another password.” Bai Chunian said, “Please remember, A1-B1, A2-C1, C2-B2. And now, press the door button.”

He Suowei was taken away by Bai Chunian’s thoughts without realizing it., He pressed the B1 elevator door button unconsciously.

Bai Chunian asked Lu Yan and Bi Lanxing who were at the A1 and A2 elevator entrances: “What’s the situation?”

Bi Lanxing said, “My door is open.”

“Okay.” Bai Chunian determined another password, “B1-A2.”

“Now we still don’t know by which elevator A1 and C2 are controlling respectively. When we first arrived, the A1 elevator went up to the third floor by itself. At that time, you should still be in Building C. Did you press the elevator button?”

“No, I was afraid there’d be a bomb. “

“That is to say, B2 controls A1, excluding the five groups we’ve identified, then the last password is C1-C2. “

“Remember? “Bai Chunian asked He Suowei.

“I remember, but in these three buildings, we’re not the only ones who can press the elevator. In case someone else is pressing it, it just so happens that the answer fits us.”

“What are you afraid of? If it’s wrong, just follow the route from before and run away again, we’ll help you press the elevator button, don’t worry, we’re very reliable.”

He Suowei: “??? Why us?”

Bai Chunian smiled and said to the communicator: “Rabbit, send the Ghost Hunting Team to 14th floor to continue testing the password.”

Lu Yan: “Received.”

He Suowei yelled in the communicator: “There’s an eye hiding[3]on the 14th floor! F&$#! F%@$! Open the door! We’re not going!”

Bai Chunian shifted to a more comfortable position, put his feet on the computer table and shook them: “You can do it, you’re number one, don’t bow your head or your crown will fall.”
