Chapter 189: A room full of diamonds? Pack them up and take them!

It was the crowd of people playing games in the center of the plaza.

Even though there wasn't a single bed in this plaza,

it couldn't dampen their enthusiasm for playing games in the slightest.

Looking closely,

they weren't actually happy.

The men were all sallow and thin, like bamboo poles.

When standing, their legs were shaking incessantly.

The women, meanwhile, had expressions of pain and were covered in bruises.

Their nerves seemed quite fragile.

The eyes of both parties had long since turned hollow, like shells without souls.

Several of the men did not rest after finishing a game.

Instead, they chose to immediately start another.

Repeating the cycle, getting weaker with every battle.

It was very obvious.

They were being used as machines.

Production machines.

Who would have thought they were into this self-production and self-consumption routine?

It was truly admirable!

"Someone has broken in! The first level has been wiped out! Get on guard immediately!"

At this moment, someone unknown was spreading the news.

The people in the plaza instantly stood up and got on guard.

"Damn it, I'm scared to death!"

"You need to be scared? You were already done for!"

"Shut up, stay alert!"

"Why do I feel like the opponent isn't simple? How could they kill their way here directly?"

"No need to feel anything, he is definitely not simple! Didn't you hear the Captain say everyone on the first level is dead?"

Hoshino Ki stepped out from a corner and stretched his neck.

A deep, flowing black robe, a pair of pitch-black, sinister eyes.

Added to that was the Death Scythe in his hand, emitting a chilling aura.

This...

Is he really not the Grim Reaper?

"He's here! He's over there!"

"Go notify the General quickly!"

Noisy shouts erupted instantly.

The man standing at the very front didn't even think; he charged up with a blade in hand.

Hoshino Ki raised the Death Scythe in his hand and performed a diagonal slash.

Just with that one move,

the men in the front row were all cut in half at the waist.

Countless screams erupted instantly.

The men, now divided into two, lost their support.

They all fell to the ground in two pieces, turning into piles of flesh.

In an instant, the corridor turned into a living hell.

In order not to waste time,

Hoshino Ki carried his scythe and ran toward the end.

No one survived where he passed.

In less than 5 minutes, a massive amount of fresh blood had dyed the plaza red.

The minced flesh splattered by the scythe flew everywhere; the original color of the plaza was no longer visible.

The ground of the plaza was covered in severed limbs and arms.

There was absolutely no place to step.

Some people were not completely dead yet.

The men with only half their bodies left could only convey their pain through roars.

This was a slaughterhouse!

The living hell continued to unfold.

The scythe in Hoshino Ki's hand was like a blade harvesting straw.

It continuously reaped the lives of those rushing up.

There was no place to land on the ground at all.

Hoshino Ki could only step on corpses to move forward.

Looking from afar,

Hoshino Ki, wearing a black robe and holding a scythe, looked just like the Grim Reaper walking out of the darkness.

It made people shudder.

"Who is this? Why is he so terrifying?"

A person hiding in a corner swallowed hard.

He was so scared he had peed his pants.

It had only been a few years since he last went out.

Had the people outside become this strong?

The sticky sensation on Hoshino Ki's hand made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

He looked ahead.

A swarming crowd of people emerged like ants.

There were truly quite a few people in a hurry to rush over and die.

Hoshino Ki gripped the scythe tightly and held it horizontally in front of him.

Then, he threw the scythe forward with all his might.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The pitch-black, blood-stained scythe formed a vortex-shaped flying wheel as it rotated at high speed.

A hurricane rose around the flying wheel.

Everyone present felt the death aura of the "Rotating Scythe."

They hurriedly scrambled to retreat.

However, their retreat speed was nowhere near as fast as the rotating scythe.

In an instant,

the rotating scythe harvested another wave of heads.

"Quick! He has no weapon! Kill him!"

Someone in the crowd saw Hoshino Ki lose his weapon.

And assumed he had lost his combat power.

Clearly...

He was too naive.

"Boom!"

Hoshino Ki's martial aura covered his entire body.

He channeled his energy, his arms and legs working in unison.

"Swish!"

When the force reached its peak!

An air wave was instantly pushed out from his hands.

"Ahhh!"

A person was hit by the air wave pushed out by Hoshino Ki and flew away.

Following that, one scream after another rang out.

For a time,

scythe, dual pistols, and martial arts—four skills were activated simultaneously.

Wherever Hoshino Ki went,

large swaths of personnel fell.

Desperate and miserable screams rang out one after another in the vast plaza.

The "Rotating Scythe" returned to Hoshino Ki's hand after completing a circle.

Hoshino Ki held the Death Scythe,

standing in the plaza like the Grim Reaper descending.

"The Grim Reaper! It's the Grim Reaper!"

They looked at Hoshino Ki in front of them, their bodies trembling as they retreated continuously.

The fourth level of the secret chamber.

A man was pacing back and forth in front of a stone room door with a worried face.

"Roar!"

Inside the stone room!

A furious roar came, but it quickly went silent.

"Where is the antidote? Why hasn't it been brought over yet?"

Inside the stone room,

a voice devoid of any emotion rang out.

"BOSS! Maybe there was some trouble on the way, please wait a little longer!"

A bead of sweat rolled down the man's forehead; he looked extremely nervous.

"Heh, I'm just curious, how did you dare to come if you didn't get the item?"

There was not a shred of emotion in the tone.

"This... the higher-ups asked me to come and ask how the situation is now?"

"Very good! Didn't you hear? Very energetic!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get a few more test subjects up here!"

What kind of inhumane things were the people inside doing?

There was even a tone of perverse pleasure in the voice.

"Yes!"

The man bowed to the stone door and then turned and left.

As the man left,

the flames on the stone walls outside the room all extinguished, and the entire area fell back into darkness.
