Chapter 774: Chapter 775 – Unknown Building.
(The chances were there.... But still, I can’t say that it sucks.) – thought GreyHunt.
(We lost our main healer to make it all worse.)
(I think I would be fine with anybody else dying.)
(But Apple Juice?)
(Fuck me.)
(We may have some regeneration, but a very basic one for our level.)
(Lilium is a vampire, so she has a good regeneration rate.)
(Cave can also somewhat do stuff, since dragons also have regeneration bonus.)
(We have potions just in case... But still, if the boss is something extremely tough, then not having our main healer and support will put us all in extremely tough position.)
"..."
(No.)
(This isn’t the main problem.)
(The noises are still here!)
(We are at the safe zone! We are at the fucking place where the boss should be!)
(SO WHY I’M KEEP HEARING THESE FAKE NOISES?!) – thought GreyHunt as the false thoughts were keep invading his head, not even growing weaker upon leaving this mist.
(I don’t like this.)
"You are finished up preparations?"
"Yeb. We all good to go." – said LM as he and rest of the party members finished up their preparations.
"Then. Move out." – said GreyHunt as Cave took the front alongside several demonic knights, before then opening the door, leading to the abandoned building.
And in the very next moment when the doors get open up, a burst of mist suddenly shoot out from the building, instantly swallowing the entire army... Before then retreating right back into the building and shutting the doors.
And as the white mist dispersed, the group was nowhere to be seen.
"..."
"..."
"Are you fucking kidding me?" – asked GreyHunt.
"ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY FUCKING WITH ME RIGHT NOW!?"
"AGAIN?!"
"MOTHERFUCKING AGAIN?!" – shouted completely pissed off GreyHunt as he was in the middle of the room... Completely by himself.
No monsters.
No companions.
Just him.
"AGAIN?! THIS FUCKING SAME SHIT AGAIN?!"
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" – shouted GreyHunt as he completely snapped in anger.
"FOR FUCK’S SAKE! WHY!? JUST FUCKING WHY WITH THIS SAME SHIT!?"
"WEREN’T WE DONE WITH IT JUST NOW?!"
"JUST WHY THE FUCK AGAIN!?"
"..."
*Sigh*
(Okay! Fuck it FUCK IT!) – thought GreyHunt as he finally stopped shouting, but was still boiling with pure rage.
(If they want to play that fucking game, then FINE!)
(You will have it!)
"..."
(Still... This time the mist straight up attacked us and dragged everybody in, not just Cave and monsters near him. Everybody in area gotten dragged in.) – thought GreyHunt as he remembers as the pure thick white mist enveloped everybody in front of him and around him.
(Anyway, where the hell am I?) – thought GreyHunt as he started inspecting the room he was in.
(This room looks pretty much like the outside, abandoned and not maintained at all.... I also see some beds and drawers.) – thought GreyHunt as he gotten on his knee and inspected the old drawer, trying to open it, only for it to instantly fall apart.
(Nothing inside.)
"..."
(But still, this isn’t like the other Forgotten Fragments.)
(True. They were detailed some of them.)
(But normally they kept to a single theme or two.)
(However... This Forgotten Fragment.... It feels way different.)
(Empty settlement, filled with mist and fakes that pretend to be other beings.)
(This was the theme.)
(However, the settlement was "empty" and "lifeless".... But this building alone looks completely abandoned.)
(Not only that, it is far more... "Painted" in my eyes.)
(An endless repeat was pretty much with all the other dungeons... But this one? It looks unique in many different places.)
(Like this whole place may had really been a real settlement.)
(But again... This abandoned building.)
"..."
(It reminds me of that statue of Zeus.)
(The odd one that stood out too much and didn’t fit the theme... But at the same time, perfectly fit at the same time.) – thought GreyHunt as he looked around and spotted the door.
GreyHunt approached it and opened it slowly, while having his gun out.
"..."
(No enemies.) – thought GreyHunt as he exited the room and found himself in the long corridor.
(This place also looks not maintained... And I also see some doors in the distance....)
(But most importantly.... The vision is restricted again.) – thought GreyHunt as he noticed darkness in the distance, which hid both directions of the long corridor.
(First fucking mist and now darkness....)
[Hunters Night Vision]
"?"
(Oh. It works!) – thought GreyHunt as to his surprise, his night vision skill was working in the darkness, allowing the man to see what was in front of him.
[Dragon’s Gaze]
[FAILURE]
"Tch."
"Dark vision is working, but not the detection?"
"..."
(Not only that... It is still fucking there.) – thought GreyHunt as he could hear the voices and noises that weren’t his inside of his head.
(The fake noises are still here! FUCK!)
[You have received the video call invite to the group meeting from player Little Maniac]
"!"
[You have accepted the meeting.]
["Hello?! You all here?!"] – asked Little Maniac.
["Yeah! I’m here!"] – replied Lilium.
["Fuck me! The communication is finally working!"] – said relived Cave.
"Yeah.... So, it is not the same repeat at before..." – said GreyHunt.
"But still, did all of you got separated?"
["You too?"] – asked Lilium.
["I’m currently in some sort of room. An old one."] – said LM.
["I’m in sort of kitchen... I think it is one?"] – replied confused Cave.
"So, we really got fucking random teleported again.... Fuck me." – said annoyed GreyHunt.
"..."
"I’m currently at some sort of dark corridor after leaving my own room."
"The darkness is straight up acting like a mist this time, however the skills that help you see in the dark seems to work."
"But... The detection skills are not working."
["Oh, fucking great."] – said Lilium.
"..."
["Still, the fact alone that we can at least now talk from afar and use SOME specific skills at least somewhat helps us out."] – replied LM.
"..."
["Honest question."] – said Cave.
["Doubleganger?"]
"Possible... This honestly whole place feels like one of those murder movies and what not." – replied GreyHunt.
"If you encounter somebody, ask them questions and don’t approach each other too quickly."
"If they don’t fallow these instructions, shoot on sight."
"Got it?"
["Understood."] – replied everybody.
["But still, are we aiming to find each other?"] – asked LM.
["Obviously. But the question is how?"] – said Cave.
["How about we go on the rampage and wreck the whole shit up?"] – asked Lilium.
["This entire place looks like it will fall apart either way on its own, so we may just speed up the process."]
"But are we sure about this?" – asked GreyHunt.
"We still don’t have idea what sort of bastard we are dealing here with."
"Explore for a bit and inspect the area, afterwords we will think about blowing it all up."
(Honestly, it is less about finding each other, but more about understanding this place.) – thought GreyHunt.
(Maybe we will obtain the vital clue regarding the Forgotten Being’s existence?)
(This dungeon. It is far different compare to any other Forgotten Fragments.)
(Not only that, there was also the "benefactor" greed to acquire this place at all cost.)
(I must find the secret of this place.)
<<The plan was simple.>>
<<Exploration, making some noises.>>
<<We will move bit by bit from our current position, aiming to make as much noises as possible in order to possible have some kind of reaction, which would either reveal the enemy, or could possible give each other our locations.>>
<<From what we saw from the outside, the building seemed to be multiple floored one, specifically 4 floored building.>>
<<So, there is a chance that we could had been split into different floors.>>
"..."
(This is like before.) – thought GreyHunt as he was exploring the abandoned rooms as well as the darkness covered corridor.
(A total silence.)
(Like the last time, I started first exploring this dungeon, there was straight up nothing.... Just... Quiet.)
(Before then the doublegangers started appearing.) – thought GreyHunt as he entered another room.
And as he did, he stepped onto something, alarming the man instantly as he backed away.... But it wasn’t a trap as he suspected.
But instead, an old teddy bear.
"..."
GreyHunt slowly entered the room and noticed that the room had several very old children’s toys, which were pretty much covered in dust as well as took consistent amount of damage.
"..."
However, the noticeable amount of children toys weren’t the thing that only caught GreyHunt’s attention.
There was also a massive stain of blood next to the wall, covering both parts of the floor as well as wall... While on top of the stain of blood laid a single wooden gun toy.
(Dry blood...) – thought GreyHunt as he approached the stain of dry blood.
(This is first time I’ve encountered blood like this.... Not only that... What is up with this wooden gun?) – thought GreyHunt as he noticed that the gun state wasn’t like the other toys.
It was old and beaten up like the other toys... However, its condition was far superior compare to the other toys in the room.
GreyHunt tried reaching for the gun... But in the next moment-
[You have received the video call invite to the group meeting from player Lilium]
"..."
[You have accepted the call.]
"What is it?" – asked GreyHunt as he and the entire party was invited to the new meeting held by Lilium.
["So.... I may or may not found some of out monsters. Like the clowns and these monster demonic knight guys."] – said Lilium.
"...Explain. Now." – said GreyHunt.
["Well.... The entire corridor...."] – said Lilium as she sounded noticeable nervous.
["..."]
["They all dead."]
