104. It's a trap

Central District, Mukoff Building.

This skyscraper is more than 500 meters high, in the shape of a bullet, and the whole body is silver-gray, and it looks full of science and technology.

Getting out of the taxi, Bai Ye stood in front of the main entrance of the building.

Looking through the transparent glass on the ground floor, the interior of the building is empty, like an abandoned place, which looks very cold and eerie.

Bai Ye walked to the front door, and the automatic door immediately slid open, and a soft female voice sounded in his ears: "Welcome to Mukefu!" ”

Entering the foyer of the building, the floor is as smooth as a mirror, and a sculpture in the shape of the earth is erected in the center of the vestibule.

Bai Ye stood in front of the sculpture and looked at it for a while, and noticed that the lower right corner of the earth sculpture was engraved with the logo of the Mukoff Company, a city held up by several octopus tentacles, and the character 'MURKOFF' under the logo.

The octopus tentacles on the logo reminded Bai Ye of the monster named 'Zihei'.

"It seems that that monster is the 'main business' of this company."

After going around the Earth Sculpture, an elevator hall appears in front of you, and there are 6 elevators lined up in two rows.

Bai Ye took out the [Elevator Pass for the Mukev Building] and checked it, stepped forward and pressed the elevator upward button.

Bite!

An elevator door opened behind him.

Walking into the elevator, the operation interface inside is a display screen, which shows that there are hundreds of floors to reach.

He tried to press a floor casually, and a card swiping interface immediately popped up in the display screen, asking Bai Ye to show his pass.

"The pass only allows me to go to the fifth floor, and it seems that the other floors are inaccessible."

With a swipe of the pass, the elevator door slowly closed.

The elevator began to go up, and the speed was very fast, and it stopped in less than 5 seconds, and a soft female voice came to my ears again: "The 5th floor, here." ”

When the elevator doors opened, there was an empty and silent corridor outside that stretched horizontally.

On the wall facing the elevator door, there is also a text stating that this floor is mainly responsible for researching such and such a project.

Bai Ye stepped out of the elevator, and the elevator door slowly closed at the back.

Standing outside the elevator door, I looked left and right, and there seemed to be no difference between the two directions.

"Mission Objective: Let me investigate Layer 5...... Just take a walk around and take a look? ”

He didn't have a choice, and casually turned to the right side of the hallway.

After walking a short distance, he noticed that the hallway was lined with laboratories on both sides, and a strong smell of blood began to appear in the air.

There was a trail of bright red blood in the doorway of the front lab, coming out of the lab and extending further down the hallway.

Bai Ye walked into the laboratory and noticed that the items inside were messy, the overhead light was flickering and flickering, and there were broken wires sparkling.

The walls were covered in blood, and there were a few cracks on the ground from the heavy hit.

However, there was no body in sight, judging by the trailing blood on the ground, the body must have been moved somewhere else.

Bai Ye switched to a contemplative stance, and three light stroke areas immediately appeared around him, and the floor with cracked paths was one of them.

As he approaches these areas, the system prompts him that he has found a clue, and then a progress bar representing 'Investigation' appears in front of him, and each clue area gives the bar a small increase.

3 clue collection increases the progress bar by a third.

Then, Bai Ye left the laboratory and continued to walk a few steps forward.

He noticed that the course was not straight and began to deviate to the right.

"Based on the exterior of the building, the floor pattern here should all be in a circular shape."

There were several more labs ahead, some dim, some brightly lit, with not only clues to increase the progress of the investigation, but also some items to pick up, but most of them were of 'common' quality and did not have much carrying value.

Finally, when Bai Ye collected clues and filled in the progress bar of the 'investigation', a system prompt appeared:

- Your actions give you +100 Concentration Stance proficiency.

- Hidden mission [Mukfu Building], mission objective 1 has been completed, and the reward is 200 reward points.

- Objective 2 has been unlocked.

[Mission Description: Clues indicate that there was a serious destructive event here, with dozens of people being attacked by some powerful creature, as evidenced by the blood stains on the ground and walls......]

[Objective 2: Go to the culture room in the middle of the floor.] 】

The rewards for the first ring of the hidden quest are not very rich, and there are not even points rewarded.

"Incubation room?"

Although the pattern of the fifth floor is circular, it is not hollow in the middle, but expands into a new area.

The entrance to this area was less than twenty meters in front of Bai Ye, and under the effect of the contemplative posture, the door of the cultivation room was emitting a faint light stroke.

Straight to the outside of the iron door of the culture room, the smell of blood here was far stronger than anywhere else.

"Are all the bodies concentrated here?"

This means that the murderer may also be hiding in the cultivation room, but the iron door in front of him is so thick that no movement can be heard from the outside.

Bai Ye switched to an active posture, reached out and pressed the handle on the iron door, and began to push the iron door inside.

He had just pushed the iron door open a crack, and the strong smell of blood and decay almost didn't swoke him out.

The culture room is dark and dark, and nothing can be seen.

Bai Ye took out the DV camera and turned on the night shooting mode, and immediately, the small screen of the DV camera lit up with a dim green.

Through this small screen, the situation in the cultivation room could be seen clearly by Bai Ye.

Blood, on the wall, on the floor, on the bench...... In the air!

In the center of the room was a pile of corpses more than one person high, and there were at least dozens of corpses.

On the ceiling of the cultivation room, a huge 'heir' was spreading out its four thick tentacles, sticking to the ceiling in the shape of a cross, motionless.

- Objective 2 has been completed, and the reward is 200 reward points.

A prompt for the completion of a task that pops up in front of the system.

But in the next second, a 'boom' siren suddenly sounded in the cultivation room, and a yellow warning light began to flash and go out.

“…… Is it inevitable that an alert will be triggered after a task is completed? It's a trap. ”

The giant 'heir' attached to the ceiling was easily woken up by the sound of the alarm, and it began to make a cooing sound, and its stretched tentacles slowly squirmed.

- Objective 3 has been unlocked.

[Description: The piles of corpses in the training room are really shocking and terrifying, and the giant monster on the ceiling is the culprit who killed them, God knows how it grew to such a big ...... But just as you were about to leave this hellish place, the alarm on the wall suddenly went off at an inopportune time, damn it! It woke up the monster! 】

[Objective 3: Escape from the fifth floor of the Mukev Building.] 】

……

The monster on the ceiling had fully awakened, and it first coiled around the ceiling and twisted its thick tentacles, and then one by one it drooped the tentacles from the ceiling.

The tentacles were propped up on the ground, and the monster's entire body was propped up to a height of nearly 3 meters. At the center of the intersection of the four tentacles, there is also a huge mouth full of sharp teeth, and the mouth is surrounded by short, dense small tentacles, which look like whiskers on the side of the mouth.

Roar –

As if sensing that its prey was nearby, the giant 'heir' let out a roar and began to slide towards the iron door of the cultivation room.
